Emerie was (one of many) wasted original characters for TBBshow, y'know?

Like...

... I don't feel for her. Yeah, it seems like she's set up to be Omega's parallel, and yeah, there was lead up to her declaration of being a clone (more so than whatever fucking lead up S1 had for its finale).

But uh...

What, exactly, is special about her as a character?

Significant personality? No. Even TBBshow's variant of the BBs had Personality for Days. She's got the Overlogical Persona, and only when the Camera was on her for an episode did she decide that she needed the morals of Omega... Frankly, she would've done better being kept an antagonist. ... Hemlock has personality, Rampart has Personality--though I'd argue that they both have the SAME Personality, just in Different Roles (Talk about copypasting your own stuff). ... Infact, she's practically a Tech Copy, that's how little personality they bothered to give her.

Aesthetic? Pff. No. She's caught the Star Wars (and let's face it, most Sci-fantasy shows, video games, media, most of the action genre... most of the adventure genre... you fuckin name it) "Pretty Woman Disease". She's meant to look sexy with very minimum masculine traits. ... Which means she's dull as hell to look at, because there's nothing to catch the eye beyond Barbie Doll. Personally, if I want a barbie doll character, I can just go out and buy Barbie. She's got no freckles, no scars, no significant body phenotype, she only partially looks like a clone (and frankly if they had given her more of a Fett Clone appearance, so like muscles and tallness and strong jaw, that would've given her a damn good eye-catching appearance. ) ( Plus, I like a lady who looks like she can turn my spine into a pretzel. ) She's got no significant armor (Personally I would've loved if she was CX02, because that would've given her Something. )

Her name is Mando'a. "Emuurir'Kar" probably means "Joy" (Emuurir means Enjoyment so...) Which, is a start... But uh, name how many old OCs we all have out there, whose names ended up being Nightshade or Twilight or Rei. You can have a good name, but if there's nothing to back it up... well, its just a title.

I don't see any fanart running around about her... Do you? No fan headcannons, no significant fanfics... That pretty much tells us how the audience thought of her. Which means, it Didn't. Even my headcanons don't really include her, because she's just, not, impactful. At all.

Plot Impact? None that couldn't be done by anyone else. Which isn't just her fault, its one of the many faults of the show itself.

She's just... Not.

Now.

How would I fix her, with the TBBshow plot as it stands?

Easy.

First Draft... Replace Hemlock with Emerie. Make her the fifth enhanced clone, and the missing CT-9902, and make her the CX-02 clone. She didn't just serve the Empire, she served the Republic doing the same thing. She's named joy both out of irony and out of the fact that she "does her duty with fulfillment".

She stayed as Nala Se's former assistant, but when the opportunity came to become the master, she took it. She was the head of project Necromancer, up until Hunter put a spear into her gut.

This Emerie gets S1 foreshadowing with the dead and experimentation on clones.

The mention of the fifth enhanced clone gets small beats of silent drama, which will tell the audience that meeting this character would not be a good thing.

Second Draft. Emerie is an entirely new character placement, and actually gets placed on Crosshair's elite squad in S1. He has no idea who the fuck this is, as they never sleep in the same quarters.

She has the same armor type, though not coloring, as CX-02.

Come S1 Finale, she picks Crosshair up from the platform, and finally removes her helmet, showing her off to be a Lady and a Medic.

S2, they're kept apart, until the end, where Emerie shows how tired she is of serving the "greater good", and being the Medic in a meta-narrative sense, allows her to save Tech as well.

S3, and the Bad Batch are eventually united by the end as a complete Squad.

Third Draft She's actually been with Clone Force 99 all along, but has to stay on Kamino for half the missions because she's Nala Se's main assistant. This would go on to be the reason why she wouldn't have appeared in TCWshow during main scenes with Nala Se (such as the Conspiracy Arc), but also why she wouldn't have appeared on Anaxes.

And she just follows the adventures as a brand new character, with her own set of armor and abilities.

As for personality quirks... Think, exaggerated Mad Scientist with Supervillian attachment--after all, she's been around too many Kaminonians, but she's also apart of the Super Duper Awesome Squad. You think, at first, she's going to be like Tech... but instead she's more emotive, more prone to supervillian-like behavior (maniacal laughter, dramatic scenes, chewing the scenary), sometimes even overhonesty. She's the Stan to Tech's Ford, the Doofensmirtz's to Hunter's platypus, the giggly bitch to Wrecker's rambunctious laughter. She absolutely delights in small torments, (provided it doesn't actually hurt anyone--she is still a medic after all), and she has a loud aggravated sigh when she isn't allowed to handle the rocket launcher.

( ... I may or may not have thought about this a bit. )

She's only called Emerie by the RCs because she once had a mission with Boss's crew.

What her new name would be, I have no fuckin idea, but it will not be Patches. (I have run into too many medic OCs called Patches, Patches is a dull name now to me. )

Anyway.

I don't like how TBBshow handles Emerie Karr. Frankly, its also pretty indicative on how Star Wars, post OG, handles a lot of its women characters... But my rage is pretty centered on TBBshow right now.

So, Emerie.

Anyways, to those who have been wondering what we've been doing during our impromptu Tumblr Vacation or whatever we're calling it, we've been trying to find a playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3 that is made by someone who doesn't annoy the shit out of us, and also tormenting Karlach Cliffgate (as you do)

random lore go

when i was in fifth grade i was famously known (and bullied for) being the teacher’s pet bc i was the smartest in the class lmfao and when it came time to do math problems i was always the first one done with all the correct answers and every time, my ANCIENT teacher would just tell me to go around the room and help/teach my classmates how to do solve dem problems and to this day omg i still shudder at the friends and crushes and enemies made along the way

Learning language and writing in school makes me feel brain dead and want to kill myself in a poetic way because if I'm not allowed to do anything with the words I'm given I'll do it with death

the terrible thing about having been into mp100 for several years now and rewatching and rereading it several times is I have started to rethink my first impressions of it. which is FANTASTIC except that now I need to go through and rework my character tags, hope no one new finds my old manic mp100 rambling, and probably officially abandon my old mp100 fic because the wonky characterization bugs me too much 😔

Persuasive essays, even in YouTube form, are a form of writing in which the writer attempts to convince to reader of a certain idea. This idea takes the form of the Main Idea and is supported with Supporting Details. The ideas expressed in the essay are their own opinions, formed from evidence that is shared with the reader, meaning they are not objective facts.

For example: if a YouTuber says that the writers of RWBY are creeps and follows it up with

They're saying that they've looked at all this and are convinced that the writers of RWBY are creeps, and hopes to convince the reader of the same. There is no lie here because nothing stated is an objective fact. You can not lie about an opinion.

“Numbers 5:11–31 has instructions for how to perform an abortion!” Okay, perfect, we’ll compromise. You can perform abortions but you have to use that exact procedure.

to expand on the prev post we did have a lot of like. expository writing and argumentative essays and critical thinking type things in my English classes. though at the same time i could very much tell it was for the sake of the standardized tests (which sucks ass) and we didn’t have nearly enough analysis of fiction (and if other public schools are the same it definitely shows lol)

yo, I passed the Praxis

if schools still taught shop class, I might have figured out I love building things a lot sooner

[bread2000yeat]

i hate how school rips all interest in writing for fun away, instead of being a way to put my interests into words and project the life i want onto my favorite characters and ppl it turns it into a chore even reading novels becomes torture when we are forced to analyze them to standards dictated by a government pushing any individuality into the void through standardized writing

tldr: school kills artists i hate sharing my opinions with the state since they will always be graded low despite writing being one of my passions and something i can genuinely do

are really so many tumblr users autistic (judging by their bio/pinned posts) and if not, why do they write this?
