Saddle Sues

I find that sometimes if your rpg has a dumb premise, dumb things happen and your rpg suffers a dumb and painful death. For example, a My Little Pony rpg is a dumb idea. Never start one. How can they not help but be weird? Maybe I'm not seeing the big Pony picture but really, I don't think I'm off the mark by not seeing how this sort of rpg can be fun unless you are on crack. maybe they are...
.
Here is one My Little Pony rpg that morphed into idiocy as seen through the eyes of a Pony Stu author. The author of this character helped make this little corner of the rpg spectrum a little dimmer.
.
Here is her Pony Stu:
.
For this game I want to play Quantum. Quantum is Galaxy's older brother. He was kidnapped as a baby to train and be part of the WHollyKow Kingdom's evil army. He broke out when he found out about his past and went to Dream Valley.
.
Hee! On this note I'd like to welcome the Holeee Cow Kingdom to my blog!
.
Stats:
.
Quantum

.
Body: Dark Blue
Hair: multi shades of blue and white

.
powers: Smae as Galaxy's excpet for the fortune-telling thing and jsut a bit stronger
personality: He's a sucker for a pretty face and is a constant flirt. He's not shy, so he isn't afraid to tell you what he is thinking at the time no matter what it is. Very protective over his sister. HE used to live in Peace Valley, but he's a drifter and doesn't stay in one place too long.

.
Let's play!!!

.
I have no idea how well he knows his sister because their relationship doesn't work in a nice chronological order. Did he meet her after escaping? Has he spent much time with her? Does his mysterious drifting make him more of a Pony Stoic? Who knows? Who cares. He's a sexy male pony with a tragic past so just hang on tightly to the reins and let's continue down this bumpy trail.
.
Here is a picture of Quantum made by the Suethor. Can you tell?:
.
Now this surprizes me. Usually being a My Little Pony is all about the 'Rump Design.' I should know. I used to be an avid My Little Pony collector. My ponies were the envy of all the little girls in my second grade class. But then I grew up and grew out of ponies. That, and I also didn't like the direction My Little Ponies were going in. Those ponies with the plastic gems for eyes were DAMN CREEPY! I got two for Christmas and I never played with them. I never even put them on the shelf where they could LOOK INTO MY SOUL with their evil, expressionless sparkly eyes.
.

Anyway, ZUM RPG!
.
Here is Quantum's first post in the role playing game:
.
Quantum looks out on this brisk almost-spring day and suddenly just doesn't feel like standing still. He rubs his horn on the ground to scratch the itchies.
.
If he weren't a unicorn, that would sound dirty... wait... still sounds dirty.

Quantum's player quickly links up with twin ponies and she immediately sets them up on a quest. At this poin in the rpg this player is new and full of wonderful Pony Stu joy. She is probably full of ideas about how to squeeze every bit of fun there can be pretending you're a pony in a world that doesn't exist:
.
Quantum looked up at the ponies. They were obviously twins, which was a bit amusing. "Hey, I'm Quantum, Galaxy's brother. I know you are thinking 'I didn't know Galaxy had a brother'. I've been getting that a lot lately. Anyway, have you seen her? I got this note in Peace Valley, where I live."
.
He holds out a note. It reads:
.
Quantum,
Big brother, it's urgent. I have to speak with you. Going thru our family's records I have discovered something horrible that hasbeen held secret from us for years. I can't tell you it in this note. Please meet me at the creek between Dream Valley and Peace Valley a noon tomorrow.
Galaxy
.
"I've been waiting hours and she's not here. I have this horrible feeling that something has happened to her."
.
So... ponies can take out sheets of paper, write on that paper with little pens and then carefully unfold that paper later to read the letters and show their pony friends. Are we sure about this?
.
"It's her handwriting, that's for sure." He answered.
.
Okay. HANDWRITING? Why not. We have family records about deep secrets. Why not handwriting?
.
Here's a picture of Galaxy who is played by the same author:
.

Now look at that rump. THAT is what I'm talking about!
.
Let's get to the family secret:
.
A green twinkle eyed pony with strands of hair in different shades of green stood on a hill watching the three leave."Galaxy was never supposed to find out about me." The pony said aloud to herself. "I was the sister everyone was ashamed of. I was thedisgrace of the family, and Quantum was too young to even remember me. I got to Galaxy. I can get to you too, littlebrother..." She winked out into the forest.
.
Wow. A sister Pony named Emerald. And what do you think she's like?
.
Emerald dropped her crystal ball on the ground and it smashed into several pieces. "Oh no. Now I can't keep my eye on them anymore. This sux more and more all the time." She sat down to think. "Why did I do this in the first place?" Then her eyes narrowed. "I know why. THEIR mother. She ruined my life and got me licked out of Dream Valley."
.
Hee! Licked out of Dream Valley!
.
She retrieved a book from out of nowhere.It was the book she acquired that helped her build the crystal ball. It was abook of magic. "An invisible spell. Great. I can follow them and they won't even know it." Making herself invisible she thought *As long as I don't talk they won't know where I am. Galaxy has a sixth sense so I can't follow her..although Griffin is with her...who are those other ponies? I'll follow Quantum's group. Hee hee hee*
.
The long and short of it is that all the members of the club got involved with Galaxy, Quantum and Emerald's family issues and eventually ran Emerald out of whatever Pony valley they were in. She left the story with her tail between her legs and once Galaxy, Quantum and the other ponies were victorious, the author's interest in the club started to go. Sure, she followed along with other stories about other ponies that were not her getting stuck in a canyon during a rainstorm. More ponies joined the rpg with named like Shadow, Nightmare, Warlock, Soul Killer and Bleeding Heart. Yes, emo ponies with good hearts who are misunderstood.
.
At post 505 I suppose that this author got tired of not being the center of attention and pulled this nonsense:
.
This is gonna shock you all some hee hee
.
Quatnum hung his head and snickered. Then he looked up and said, "Come on, guys. Did you ever stop to think that maybe I am the evil menace?" Waits as all ponies look at him in disbelief. "I mean, I'm the only one here who has felt really good the whole time. I never got my magic drained and I totally didn't care what happened to anyone. You all are so trustingand stupid." Then Quantum raises up on his hind legs to expose a zipper down his chest. The zipper unzips and a huge demon-like monster comes out. "It's too easy to fool you all. Way too easy. Quantum was never ehre with you guys. He hasn't been here the whole time."
.
The demon thing laughed. "I love it. You are all so shocked. This performance will win me an Oscar." He breathed fire and the flames mgically turned into a pointed staff. "Now, who will be the first to die."
.
Umm... so the demon is defeated and it turns out Quantum was okay and they all met up with him to fight some other ponies who were trying to harvest these good ponies for lab research.
.
So, where does one go after thwarting a VERY short-lived story about a lab research ring? Naturally, and how could you be so silly not to come to this conclusion quickly, a rainbow vortex picks you up and plunks you down someplace completely foreign:
.
Galaxy steps off the rainbow and hears a loud honking noise. A human in a big metal machine swerves past her and waves his arms out the opening of the machine screamng, "GEt out of the road you freak!" Quantum looked at a small human female who tugged on her mommy's dress. Teh little girl asked, "Mommy, why is that pony blue?" The mother looked at Quantum then andscreamed, ushering her daughter away. Galaxy looked at the other ponies. "Where are we? I dont' think we are safe here."
.
So where are they? I shit you not:
.
This was, sadly, one of this authors last contributions to this rpg. The rpg spends several whimpering posts as the ponies explores the cities and suburbs around modern day Michigan.
.
Two players did their best and the story drops off as one pony wanders into a 'dark place' and a gun shot is heard.
.
At post 762 this rpg fizzles out into spammers from to sell creams to increase your cock size.
.
I truly hope I've passed an important lesson on to you. Never start a lame rpg. They get ridiculous fairly quickly and you have no one to blame but yourself.
.
And never buy ponies with plastic gem eyes.

Mary Sue of the Caribbean!

Here's another inactive club called "Pirates of the Caribbean RPG." It only lasted 295 posts because attendance was droppping off, not enough people cared about Mary Sue and then our Mary Sue had a hissy about the second Pirates movie and left her own rpg behind.

Let's pick apart her short lived club and laugh at her silly Sueness.
In the description of the club we have a list of all the characters the owner expects you to worship. She plays Captain Jack Sparrow and two made ups named Katherine Draven the Dreaded and Aeris. Aeris is Katherine's best friend so each one is free to fuck someone else. Some other people play Elizabeth, Will and a made up named Rose but who gives a shit? This rpg isn't about them.

Let's meet our star!

Name: Katherine Draven (aka: Draven, Draven the Dreaded, or Kitty by her first-mate, Aeris)
Age: 20
Eye color: Blue
Hair color: Dark brown, almost black

Yep. This is her. She's a precious moments figurine with big boobs. Also, I'll let you decide if that's a chastity belt or a codpiece.


Personality: Funny, but a little odd. Very friendly, for a pirate. But don't get on her bad side. She's known by enemies as "Draven the Dreaded."


She's a funny, friendly dreaded pirate!


Job: She sails on her own ship, the Crow’s Feather, but currently can't recall where it is. lol.


This little contrivance gives us the background behind Kitty's Mary Sue drama. She needs to find her ship and her boytoy. I wonder how she will ever be able to to that.


She has lived a typical pirate life for the past five years until she lost most of her crew do to unknown circumstances, including her first-mate, who is lost because of unknown circumstances.


She doesn't really know a lot about anything, does she? Now remember how she doesn't remember losing them as you read this next bit.


The night her crew left, she had docked at some beach, but was too drunk to remember where. She passed out on the beach and in the morning, continued to drink, trying to get her hang-over to leave. Being as drunk as one can humanly get, she jumped aboard a random ship she thought was hers because a few of her former crew members had boarded. She was forced off with only a small life boat and sailed to the closest island: Tortuga.


Wait? She got incredibly shit-faced, passed out and got on the wrong ship but they left her? I wonder why they felt she wasn't a good leader. Does she suspect her drinking had something to do with it?


Let's move on to Aeris. I won't be showing all of his bio because it's the same yawn inducing Gary Stu stuff you'd expect. He's sexy, talented with his sword and wants his Mary Sue back immediately!

He was the only one to stand up for Kitty when her crew turned against her and left. He has temporarily taken over the role of Captain of the Feather and has even recruited a small crew willing to sail under him until they find Kitty, then sail under her when she resumes captaincy. He is currently searching for his best friend and captain.


A reason is never given as to why they left her behind or how Aeris was able to keep the ship, get a new crew or even how he let the bitch wander away in the middle of the night. These pitiful assholes deserve each other.


Oh... and?

Any other info ya wanna give: Unknown to all characters, but I’m telling all the members that Aeris and Kitty have a telepathic link. So when you see text in between ~these~ it’s them talking in telepathy.


Yeah. Uh huh? Walk the plank, you dipshits!

Oh wait... are we forgetting Captain Jack Sparrow? Last we left Kitty, she was wasted in Tortuga.

She looked over at a nearby table and recognized her old friend, Jack Sparrow. She got to her feet to wander over, but was instantly dizzy and fell back into her chair. Jack noticed the movement and also recognized Katherine. He manuevered around the fighting pirates that infested the Inn and sat next to his old friend. "Well well well. Drunk again, Kitty?" he said around a sip of ale. Before anyone knew what happened, Katherine had one of her throwing daggers out and pressed against Jack's neck. Even drunk out of her mind, Katherine's instincts and reflexes were as sharp and fast as ever. "I told you before, Sparrow. Only one man can call me Kitty, and you're not 'im." the two stared at each other a moment longer before wide grins burst out on each of their faces and laughs poured from their mouths. before long, the two were drunker than ever and reminiscing. Katherine explained what happened between her and her crew and how she was looking for her ship. "So, I'm trying to find Aeris. Have you seen him?" Katherine said. "No. Sorry, Kat. But i'll keep an eye out and i'll help you find your ship. Savvy?" Katherine nodded and the two sat for a while, enjoying their drinks and company...

Awww... This Sue is tough, takes no crap and wants to hump all over Jack. They are friends. Isn't that so Sue-y? And he wants to help her because he's just that sort of guy. I'm tingly after reading this. No really.

Well, okay. That flagrant misuse of the word 'Savvy' makes me want to kick a Mary Sue, any Mary Sue, in the head but otherwise, I'm fine. :o) <----- See? I'm smiling.

Tabby Sue

Today's bio is something a little different. It is from a role playing game based on a series of books called Warrior Cats. I don't know much about these novels (but here's a link to wiki) but from what I gather, it's like Watership Down but with cats. They are sort of magic and they are warriors and they are cats. Wow!


Fabulous, huh? So how, in a world of kitties, could their possibly be a Mary Sue? There's lots of ways, I tell you! Just looks at this little pussycat's bio:

~Character Information~

Our Sue loves to use these: ~. Some Sues do. Maybe they think it gives them a twinkly, sparkly, wavy quality like their litterboxes don't stink. Plus, everything in this bio is centered just like our Sue's bio is... centered for our complete attention.


Personal Information

Name: Thornclaw

Age: 48 Seasons (12 Years)

Gender: She-Cat

Family: None

I predict she'd all angsty about having no family to call her own... except for the family of fleas in her fur. :o(

Love Life: None yet

Poor little kittycat. She has no serious relationship. It must be so difficult when the tomcats don't yet realize how awesome this Tabby Sue is.

Clan Information

Clan: Doveclan

Rank: Warrior

:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:

Twinkly flowery lines!!!!111!!! Don't they just make you want to squee?

Physical Description: Thornclaw is a brown tabby, who is rather small, and can be mistaken for a soon-to-be-warrior apprentice. Her eyes change color, from light hazel, to a little darker, depending on her mood. Although she is small, this allows her to be extremely speedy, and can fit in small places.

She's small and fast, mistaken for an inexperienced youth and her eyes change color. HALLMARK SIGNS of a Mary Sue. Can it get Sue-ier? Of course it can!

Short Physical Description: Thornclaw is a small and speedy Tabby-cat.

So.... why do we need a short physical description? I guess it's in case a Tabby Sue or Tommy Stu describes themselves too much and you just want to skip all that self serving, amazingly awesome shit and get clear answer.

Personality

Clan Wise: Thornclaw is extremely loyal to her clan. She has never broken the Warrior code before, and never will, unless under extreme circumstances. She respects her whole clan, but most of all her Leader, and Deputy.

Like if they don't allow her to be the smallest, fastest and bestest at something, she may have to break Warrior Code to be a big honking drama queen.

Family, Love, And Friends: Has no family. Has no love - yet. Thornclaw is friends will almost her whole clan. Well, her clan is her friends. Some may not like her, but there is no-one that Thornclaw is not too keen on.

So she's keen on her friends who are her clan even if they may not like her. I think what this waffling amounts to is that she hopes to be friends with everyone by being quicker, faster, stronger and saving them from any conflicts they might have that could make interesting storylines. I hope they thank her a lot for constantly putting the spotlight on herself.

Personal: Thornclaw is a happy and bouncy she-cat, who is always up for adventure and excitement. Although she's rather hypo, she can be dead serious when she needs to, including when hunting.

She's hypo? Is she hypoallergenic? A hypochondriac? A hypocrate? Hypoglycemic? A hypotenuse?

Battle: Thornclaw's best skill is hunting, because she loves it, and has the perfect body for it. She's quick, swift, and gives the prey no harm, due to her soft heart.

Thornclaw really ought to be leader because she is merciful and has slammin' abs. Ho hum. Maybe one of these days the other cats in her clan will notice, hoist her above their heads and proclaim her the president of all the clans!

Undefinded: Nothing really.

Huh. I have no riff here. I don't know what this means. She's either not unfounded, undefined or undefended. She is unfinished:

History

Kithood: When Thornclaw was born, obviously she was named Thorn, and she was named so because of her razor sharp teeth and claws, and her love for hunting. But unfortunately when she was a kit, after about half a moon, both her parents died. Thornclaw was never told why, but she didn't really mind, because of her good spirit.

I bet they were killed by vampires. I've heard from a reliable source that vampires are bitches like that. It's a good things she doesn't give a crap.

Apprenticeship: Thornclaw was a great Apprentice, because of her genuine enthusiasm. She was always respectful to her mentor, and always did what she was told. She was a very successful little she-cat.

Warriorhood: Thornclaw has only had about four seasons of Warriorhood, although they have been excellent ones. She has been a very successful fighter, hunter and clan-mate. She hasn't had many arguments, maybe one or two, but they weren't too big.

There's nothing of any real significance about her life... OTHER THAN SHE IS BETTER THAN YOU!

Other Information:

Extra: Nopee dopee

Damn skippy, nopee dopee, Susie poosie!

RP Example: Thornclaw's paws stopped instinctively as her nostrils widened, and sniffed. Finally! Thornclaw had been searching for ages, and not found any food at all. But now she could. She'd be able to feed her clan, and do them good. She had been a bit grumpy lately, and she wanted to repay her clan by helping out. Thornclaw's ears perked as she heard soft scurrying. The prey she was about to catch was a mouse. She bent down, her senses alert, her eyes wide open. Silently and softly, she crept for wards, and waited until her mouse was in perfect position. There! It was just in front of a rack about the size of Thornclaw's flank. Where-ever it went, she could still catch it. Thornclaw waited until the mouse started nibbling on a seed, before she leaped upon it, and threw it against a tree trunk too knock it out. Thornclaw bent down, snapped its neck quickly, and un-painfully. Thornclaw turned around, mouse in her mouth, and headed back for camp.

I love it tremendously when Sues have to write a terrible act like killing and make it sound cute and noble. While they are the best at it, they also the most humane. And now she's feeding her clan this tiny, little mouse to repay them for her grumpiness? I have no idea what that means nor do I get how she had not found food but now she could find it when it's up against a rack. A rack of what? Lamb? Breasts? Guns?

I call foul! After seeing this picture I feel this is an Insert Sue! Naughty kitty! You have a date with my supersoaker now! Get your filthy paws in the air and back away from the computer, chipmunk breath!

Bangers and Slash

Haven't had enough Draco slash stories yet? Here's a German Yahoo club devoted to our favorite little, part Veela boy slut and all the fanfiction whore-ness you can tolerate!

For those of you who haven't read Harry Potter, in book 4 Draco Malfoy was turned into ferret by Mad Eye Moody (Sort of. Just read the book if you want to know the whole story.) I just wanted to tell you that so you aren't worried that Harry is going to fuck that horny, little ferret for no reason. Harry most certainly has a reason for fucking it!

Here's is the rpg's "Beschreibung:"
