WELCOME TO WE'RE STILL HERE

We're in the mood for fresh meat.

---

Helloooo, neighbors! Welcome, everyone, to We're Still Here. Officially, the game doesn't open until December 1st, but we still wanted to give you guys a chance to get to know one another. Feel free to use this post to introduce yourself, share your contact info if you so desire, and mingle with your new neighbors before the real fun begins in a few days. We, as mods, would also like to use this space to address a few points about what to expect in December as well as how our next application round is going to pan out. Firstly, We're Still Here's first month is going to be a plot-heavy month. December is a crazy time for all of us, and we realize that not everyone will have the time to devote to roleplay, so we've decided to make the event a low stakes one and split it up into two halves with the first part beginning the day the game opens and running until the 15th, and the next half picking up right after that and running until the 25th. An announcement and plotting post will be going up in a few days. At the end of the month, we'll post a recap for the event that will also function as a public discussion where you can ask questions and provide the mod team with feedback. Secondly, since December will be a plot-heavy month with January being a relaxed month, this means that January will be our next application round. Not including potential drops, we will have seven slots available for new players. We will post a reminder announcement on the mod plurk as the date draws closer. Additionally, we will also be posting a new TDM in January for the new application round. For exact times on all of these dates, please refer to our calendar. And that's all! Break out your best gifs and get to mingling!

Hello!

My name is Ru and I am bringing you Ellie Williams from The Last of Us Part II. And she is... well, someone who grew up in the zombie apocalypse and has seen a lot of fucked up stuff, done a lot of fucked up stuff, and is currently at a point in her life where she is trying to heal and it's not going so well. But underneath all that, she's got a stupid sense of humor for puns and loves nerdy shit like comics and sci-fi novels. That said the game does deal with a lot of triggering subjects plus spoilers from her canonpoint so please check out her permissions/opt-out (WIP).

My plurk is mythal Feel free to add. I yell about RP and Genshin Impact.

ELLIEEEEE oh god this reminds me i have to finish tlou2 once i can pull myself out of asscreed

I am. SO excited to see Ellie in a setting like this ahhhh. I'm absolutely gunna throw Raps at her bc clearly mashing up a post-apocalypse kid and a disney princess is a recipe for great things.

ALSO YES HI I'M OWL.

[thevalley]

DEFFO FINISH ITS WORTH IT.

Me too. Ellie's not going to know what to make of this shit. And characters like Rapunzel except... try to protecc?

[prodigalhairess]

ABSOLUTELY i just need to emotionally prepare myself for that damn roller coaster

protecc good but!!! she'll be aggressive about having fun too!! when raps finds out about ellie being able to play the guitar she'll definitely wanna jam.

(HI IM THE RILEY FROM THE TEST DRIVE)

I cannot wait for Ellie. Love this funky, gay little killing machine. I'd say she deserves to have another disney character to improve her life, but Cass isn't the happy-go-lucky princess-type.

[thevalley]

(oH MY GOD THAT THREAD BROKE ME).

I don't know much about the Tangled animated series (other than Cass is kinda gay???) so I'm excited for this.

[feudalladyshandmaid]

(GOOD it broke me too)

It's a very good show and I definitely recommend it (and Cass is gay ye at least as far as the show crew was concerned)

[webdesigned]

never, EVER doubt the power of one tiny angry lesbian

i LOVE ELLIE SO MUCH i cannot WAIT to see her... i haven't played the sequel but i'm not sure there's anything she could possibly do to make me love her less.

[thevalley]

i'm not sure there's anything she could possibly do to make me love her less.

/SWEATS PROFUSELY.

(also hello!)

[webdesigned]

tbh i still love and support her despite what she gets up to in the 2nd game... it's character development or flawed parenting or something... (haven't played it but it's hard not to get spoiled on it, lol...)

HELLO HELLO :) i hope to tag with you soon!

[thevalley]

GOOD GOOD. Honestly, am kinda into the flawed character development as you can see. I definitely recommend it if you ever get a chance to play it!

[webdesigned]

flawed character development is my favorite kind, because you get to push them in a slightly less self destructive direction, or at least somewhere adjacent...

i have it on my christmas list but i am scared of the game in the same way i had to stop watching the walking dead, it just sounds so Heavy ... ;; but i'm sure one day i'll get there!

[thevalley]

it's definitely heavy but... as someone who isn't a super fan of heavy stuff in general (like can't deal with TWD at all), I found it surprisingly tolerable. like lmao it was nice to feel like the world had done me wrong. Though I was super anticipating the game for years so that probably helped lolllll.

Let me know if you want me to keep spoilers on the DL!

[webdesigned]

you're good!! i read up on what the game was about when it came out, so i have a pretty broad idea even if i have yet to play! i'm generally fine w spoilers, most times i spoil myself before i even start something, haha

[bibliophilicbells]

I would really love some CR between Ellie and Az, because he would have NO IDEA what to do with her. it'd be beautiful.

[thevalley]

HELL YEAH. That would be so wild I am completely down for it.
