John Egbert
@ectoBiologist
just your regular old john egbert! pronouns are he/him. yes my hair is long; i've just been too lazy to get it cut lately.
really cool when the proper method of solving a puzzle is so obtuse that i would rather brute-force all 64 possible solutions.
it's so weird, when you really stop and think about it, living in a salamander village and having salamander neighbors who are just, like, regular folks, they've got day jobs and taxes and everything, and then there's casey. 8 years and counting and not a peep out of her except "glub", and not even as a verbalized word like how fish trolls sometimes say it! sometimes i worry there's something wrong with her...
my casey talks sometimes, usually about bugs! if lowas wasn't... kinda messed up, i would feel worse about how that played out.
thats how we felt about our consorts! thats why we're hitting the ground running and getting out of there! i dont wanna pay salamander taxes!
really cool how the new lego batman game unlocked early access nine and a half hours ago but steam won't let me play it. spent extra on the deluxe edition for nothing.
...never mind. apparently i misread the infographic. it unlocks on pc in an hour and a half.
saw another alternate future universe egbert kid on here and once again i'm quietly wondering who the mom is. like, i can guess, but it's always possible they'd surprise me. but it feels kinda gauche to ask?
etiquette question. should i be google translating what damaras post in east beforan, or just stay away from her posts because i don't speak it?
あなたの心は、あなたが私の魔法の言葉を理解できるように願っているだけです。
I d9 think translati9n t99ls w9rk g99d. 6ut I myself happen t9 als9 6e fluent in the Eastern 6ef9ran language. S9 I can help t99.
(Her reply says "Y9ur heart simply h9pes that y9u will understand my magic w9rds." 6y the way)
the damara i'm pals with generally reserves east beforan stuff to her private peanut gallery moments so my gut says don't try to read her stuff - but on the other hand, why then would she be posting in the first place? a real conundrum, that one.
final fantasy 14 is real fun but i wish more duty content let you use a team of npcs. i've yet to have a bad time with other players directly, but the wait times on forming a party can be abysmal.
i have literally been mandervilling in front of this dungeon for *a whole hour* waiting for a party to form!! maybe it's a bad time and i should try again this evening?
weird to think being stupid can be hot but it honestly makes more sense than someone thinking i'm physically attractive.
dave recently asked why i play girls in video games so much, and i said it's because if i'm gonna be staring at my character's ass the whole game, it should be a cute one. he says this is weird and i should be playing guys more, but personally i suspect the disconnect stems from me being straight and him being bi. what do you folks think?
hAHA, yOU KNOW i REMEMBER GETTING TEASED, bY vRISKA FOR DOING THE SAME THING, yOU ARE PROBABLY RIGHT, i LIKE THE HAIR BY THE WAY IT IS DIFFERENT FOR A jOHN,
oh thanks! it wasn't really something i did intentionally, i just got lazy and didn't get it cut for a while, and then people keep telling me it looks nice long so i guess i'm keeping it.
yES, yOU MAY BE MY, eTERNAL ENEMY AND RIVAL BUT, i HAVE TO SUPPORT COOL FASHION DECISIONS, i HAVE BEEN GROWING MY OWN HAIR OUT LATELY, aS WELL BUT, mORE ON PURPOSE,

i think it doesn't really matter why? its just a design choice.
word!! why would i want to stare at a dude's armored butt the whole time when i can put my girl in 2b's dress??

it's been decided! my stand,「mister blue sky」allows me to control the wind and the weather! *imagine i'm doing one of those really weird poses they do in jojo as i show off my stand*
grl weather report is right there..... ~_@
its a canon stand that already controls the weather!! & also turns ppl in2 snails by hypnotizing them w/ rainbows bc jojo
huh. okay well. mister blue sky is different; he doesn't do the snails thing and his weather manipulation is more wind manipulation, letting me do stuff like the wind scar. besides, star platinum and the world are already identical so you're clearly allowed overlap.
ugh when Ur rite Ur rite. U do have 2 think abt some insane 2ndary effect tho!!! either like a specific technique that comes from the weather powers or smth thematically related or sm rule or smth
jade recently introduced me to "jojo's bizarre adventure" and now i can't stop thinking about what our stands would be named. abilities are easy, they'd just be our godtier powers basically. i think i'd call mine「aerosmith」. cuz it'd have the windy thing and a great big hammer.
i'd need the help, cuz i don't listen to a ton of music. i definitely want some kind of sky- or wind-themed name, and i know it cannot be「candle in the wind」because you've got to be some kind of living legend to name your stand after elton john.
It is not the Presidential Stand. It is just merely a reflection of the soul, but as a fellow President of Earth, I believe we would share quite a similar outlook.
c< ....tHeres a really big ONe i tHiNK, iN Mr Blue SKy, but a lOt Of peOple Have used tHat ONe be4 >c
Perhaps. Although I do think there is merit to that, considering the conclusion of Part 3. However, I would be delighted to have GNX. I think that would be rather nice.
man dont get me STARTED on jojostuck i have THOTS abt the alpha gangs stands
i've gotten pretty good at shaving my face, but every time i do it, i remember how much i hate my facial hair. wish i could just get it permanently removed.
:33< that is 100% a clawption mew can get nyat just mewre facial hair remewved but the rest of mewre body hair remweved too!
3833 < It's electrolysis, I'm pretty sure! > 3833 < Roxy considered it, but she would miss her beard. > 38pp
oh, that'd be something! i mean, not that i hate my body hair in the same way, but. it is kinda gross seeing it grow in on my knuckles?
:33< i mean mew dont have to do it its nyat like a package deal mew can pick and chose :33< i can hook mew up with some treatmeownts fur fur33 if mew n33d em
no, i mean, if it's an option, it'd be great to get rid of my body hair too, it's just the face is my first priority. hook me up! thanks nepeta.
Consider also electrolysis Works much better if you've darker skin I myself have oft considered it But my androgyny is finely tuned And shaving can control the vibe precisely
Apologies I did start talking about myself there But yes laser if you are pale Electrolysis if you are dark
it's a little disconcerting playing pathfinder and running into "trolls" that are great big warty green fairy tale monsters. when we have alternian trolls in the group. i mean, i know that paizo didn't know about alternia or anything, but it's still a bit weird. i think if i was gm, i would've renamed or replaced them or something.
in addition 2 that, homebrewin alternian trolls as an ancestry would b rly cool lol
that's a great idea honestly! i'll have to run that by my roxy sometime.
who doesn't love women?? well except like, dirk, i guess.
pathfinder is wild. terezi's character just died to a *bear trap* of all things. kinda seems like bullshit to me, but she accepted it "because it's funny".
keep thinking about how no one even questioned it when i announced i was playing a girl in roxy's pathfinder game. what do these people think of me?
Only if you make it a thing. But if I may ask. When you can create characters are they usually girls?
i thought at least *somebody* would be like "oh cool that's so neat and different!"! that was how i reacted when rose said she was playing a dude!
i don't really make characters a lot? last time before pathfinder was that whole "spider-sona" thing when the spider-verse came out, and i made a dude for that obviously.
Well I for one am proud of you for branching out! All I will say is to avoid playing her as too much of an archetype. Try to really get into character!
((new profile pic, thank you so much to @tenebrousGuardian!!!))
if i met an alternate of myself in person, i would ideally not have any reason to fight him! i hope we'd get along. wouldn't kiss him though, because, i'm not into guys so neither would he!
one of these days i've really got to get my hair cut back to my old length. i don't know how girls stand having their hair this long. and jade's is way longer!!
What's the rush? Why not grow it out a little longer (with regular trims of course to eliminate split ends) and donate it so some poor child can have a real hair wig? Really quite selfish of you to cut it already when you have only just begun to grow it out.
no! don't you dare! it looks TOO good like this for you to mangle up!!! #trustme
Have you considered leaving it long? It looks cute that way.
oh, shit, well, if jasprose sprite, my alt-future-son, and vriska all think i should wear it long, who am i to argue? :p
sometimes i wonder about casey. she's a fully-grown salamander by now, so she ought to be able to speak, but she never does. should i be taking her to some kind of salamander psychologist about it? or does she just prefer to communicate through glubs and hand motions?
i wonder what it means that my alternate future son is blonde...
