Bittersweet Candy Bowl Forums

There is no longer anything here.
It was a horrible idea.
Begone with you.

It's sad and stupid with a pathetic excuse for a backstory (oh he was bullied and is crippled baww), but at least you were upfront about it. That's about the only good thing about it. I could go further, but I'm not that harsh.

WHERE THE FUCK ARE HIS LEGS ?!

He's obviously a cripple, adding to his fancharacterness.

LISTEN KID !
IF YOU CANT DRAW HIM ALL THE WAY DOWN ! DON'T POST !

NOW GET OUT OF HERE BOY !
AND DON'T COME BACK UNTIL YOU ARE A MAN !!!

It said expect scorn!

*Jorje readies his scorn hammer and prepairs to give Harishima and his fancharacter the scorning of a lifetime*

I don't like it.

yeah...when i drew it on the program it was landscape, so it turned when i posted it for sum reason.
I wasn't really going for a sob story...i just thought about him using a bunch of weelchair jokes. Plus, almost all the BCB characters have dramatic backstory

You might want to lurk here a while longer. Fancharacters are sorta... discouraged here. See Taeshi's thread 'The Phancharachter Menace.' The art's ok, but your character is badly cliche.

Also, I have never met a person in real life who dislikes british accents.

why are you guys hating
IMAGINATIVE BACKSTORY IS IMAGINATIVE

Bullshit character is bullshit more like it.

I've seen more creative stories on the back of a cereal box

...true. you can't beat Count Chocula man.

Stop Contradicting yourself!!

Many of us may have had this idea, guys.
We should politely discourage it, in a gentle way.
Losing Harishima in the forum would be unfortunate,
though he probably hate us people by now

I will not critic the drawing, as I suck at drawing too .

The history... well man, it's not easy to write a nice character. I see the history a typical "Oh-my-God-how-disgraced-I-am!". You know, for making a nice character you don't have to make him suffer (really!).

I have seen that many times, in role games, histories, writings, etc. Authors that think that a deep character need a disgraced history. But what makes a character deep and interesting, it's not only his history. It's how will he reacts to his history.

If you have read the 7th book of Harry Potter, you will know the complete history of Severus Snape. That is one of the greates characters I have ever seen. Not only the "traumatic" part of the history, but if fact, the psycologycal reaction of him to that history.

(Sorry for not saying more, but I don't want to make an spoiler here ).

What you have done is to imagine a couple of actions and little personality facts withouth thinking pretty much on it. "Ron will be a little Abbey-Mccain-ish[...]". Ok, good, WHY?

Ok, now a little help for you. Let's say that you want to continue that character. Put yourself in the situation,imagine you are that character. So, you uncle crippled you to a wheel chair. How would you react after, in your new family? Would you seek for protection? For solitude? Would you be kind? Would you be afraid? Would you search new friends?

...Damn more that 24 hours withouth sleeping well. Going to sleep. Good night

The only thing is; Don't insert your character into the histories of the established ones. Things like "Jasmine's faraway cousin" are just...well, plain lazy. Although, props for the effort, I guess.

i did a few edits recently but its not much better

So now he likes Lucy? Fan-tastic

PP Bonus - Erotica.

Get that camera ready, Jay.

Actually, I take back my nice-ness. This is atrocious. No offence.

...what the fuck, man.
What are you doing.

I really should put some thing that limits you from clearing a post

Just reinstate the ten-minute rule. Somehow.

No, editing is a good thing. It just sucks when somebody tries to 'clean the slate' etc and removes something. Once it's posted it publicly belongs to the community, however bad it might be.

Other forums will actually deliver warnings, suspensions & bans for non mods clearing a post or deleting a thread.
