Pearvern itself is a joke from a joke thread on FV.
idk if it's just me, but are there any jokes about one of your characters you made canon? like, for example i made a lot of jokes about pearl being an uwu pastel blogger but then actually ended up putting that in her character because, why not
heck, a joke i had ended up fixing a plot hole regarding two characters so sometimes making fun of your characters .... works
the 75% demon thing started as a joke because I had a folder full of drawings, in which a LOT were bizarre shitposting and ship art, and this girl was the "welcome" drawing I always put at the beginning of every sketchbook I've ever had, sooo one of my friends joked about her being the keeper of hell's gate because we called my drawing Folder hell. So after some time, I DID make her the keeper for hell's gate! hahahaha but I kind of modified her a lot soooo she's not keeping hell's gate anymore, she does have a curse tho! hahaha
Two words for you: melon deities. A joke between me and my friend that I commissioned art of, then... formed characters from. And let's not forget their worshiper, Song Cucumis, who was also created as a joke.
There was a joke on another site that I'm on about shipping Andor with Ara. Ara is Aro/Ace, so I can't really make this cannon (even if he wasn't I don't think they'd be compatible as a couple since they're barely compatible as friends) but there's an ongoing gag throughout their story where people think they're a couple.
Andor himself is actually based on an inside joke with my friend. We used to write these really weird pass the story things with the same set of characters and Andor appeared in a few. Andor is a very silly character, and I guess that stemmed from the fact that he was originally intended for silly stories The "pass the story" version of his character is a little different but some similarities are still there. His appearance is mostly the same, and also the fact that both his parents are in the medical field.
I heard a joke once about 'what do you do with a dead chemist?' and the punchline was 'you Barium!' so when time came to make an Elemental Gladar, naturally I went after a punchline.
So this character is basically dad complete with dad jokes.
Roleplay joke that became canon: Henry is about to become the queen of a medieval-fantasy kingdom...despite being, in said kingdom, a straight, male and male-presenting military general.
Explanation:
Basically him and half a dozen other englishpeople ended up in a medfant kingdom, with the understanding that they could go home once they've helped this movement called Red Pawn to win a war and establish themselves as the dominant ideology. After a few years of toiling they even managed to usurp the throne briefly, putting one of the englishwomen (Margaret) on the throne, before the supporters of the old king drove them off.
However, Henry unexpectedly found himself in possession of the old king, who turned out to be an elderly man suffering from advanced dementia. Instead of having His Highness executed to curb resistance Henry spent two months hanging out with His Highness, conditioning him to like Red Pawn so they could hand him back to the royalists and he'd hopefully drop a good word on their behalf (the king, although ill, was still an absolute monarch - his word's the law). Then Henry got an additional brilliant idea to both end the civil war between royalists and Red Pawn and unite the two sides: Get the old king and the usurper-queen together!
Cliodna: ((I imagine trying to sell it to Margaret.
Like, you'd be the queen and so what that he's old and crazy, he's absolutely harmless, you need to look past your personal comfort and take one for the team!
And then the king chimes in like "...actually I would like the General as my queen. He is always so nice to me."))
Cliodna: ((And Henry'd just stare at him and Margaret'd be like "Well then, go on General Newman. Take one for the team."))
GM: ((id love it))
GM: ((id love it so much id let it happen))
Cliodna: ((Queen Newman XD))
GM: ((lets do it))
And that's how I accidentally canon.
