OMG YOU LIVE~

Well when I am back maybe I should just stalk your house until you show me if you don't post here on DA...
(Soooo Merton is basically almost like a symbiotic parasite of sorts..?)

Yes yes but barely though! and hell yeah all the stalking XD. Ever since I created Avril and Merton years ago (8 or 9 years ago) he has always had some ability to control Avril within certain circumstances, he cant do too much but more or less for short periods of time if he gets worked up enough he can control her for small periods of time XD. so yeah pretty much a symbiotic parasite, although usually they live in somewhat harmony. Weird I know but I like to try stick to whatever story I made years ago XD If referencing this to my life Id like to think Avril is just normal me kinda but when Merton Flips out its kinda like when I have an episode in real life. Just stupid things that rarely happen but if they happen they are extreme hahaha.

I know the feeling of barely living... I described my situation of walking on a fine line between the living and the dead to someone the other day!
Stalking and questionable morals behind pillars and trash cans, yus yus~ Just don't blame me if you splash yourself with poolwater again.
I shall also like to catch up with your mannequin in your bedroom, what a wonderful individual~

Somewhat harmony, hence the "symbiotic parasite of sorts" bit, the sorts are always key to the "eeeeeeh... who wants to be next in line behind Avril and Merton??"
I get the impression that when Merton is in control, things are probably a bit more dangerous depending on Merton's disposition...
Sorta like a dark spirit in control...

Remember when I did a tailmouth because of this??
The tailmouth on Tarri, I figure, might be a bit more happy-go-lucky, and come across as very friendly and highly affectionate. So maybe Tarri and his tail get along marvelously and they goof or something I dunno... and maybe there are times where the tail gets a bit too excited and takes over then.
But then again... what if that extremely happy-go-lucky tail has a kind of dark side as well...? Ooo... *ponders*

hahahhaha omg I cant believe you remember the mannequin XD that kills me Tarri, she does have a great set of personalititties. 

And yes a somewhat harmony between the two I just feel like if Merton is in control, he's the set are either incredibly stupid acting, or dangerous XD dark spirits in control yes

and yeah whoo for tailmouths they are the best! yeah your tailmouth is much nicer than mine XD wish mine would bloody get along, guess not much can happen though since they are joined at the butt, they either love each other or hate each other. and whoo for more dark sides not overdone at all but idc since she's always been like this since I created her back in year 7.

TarriPup In reply to XNeonFeather [2015-09-01 23:22:27 +0000 UTC]

Of course I remember the mannequin!! I had fun playing with it, as well as meeting your birds, and not to mention adventures to find the secret closet room~
You have an awesome bedroom. xD

Well initially Tarri's tailmouth was always going to be nicer by comparison, however it would be a good idea to have something of an uncontrolled feature with Tarri's tailmouth... I just need to think of one! The taking control part only just came up today, given I didn't know Merton took over at all. I just thought he was just all in the tail and potentially tried to eat people. xD
But I've already labeled Tarri's as much more of a lovable affectionate tailmouth... I can actually imagine then actually snuggled up together in bed quite happily~
But to come up with something that could be negative or somewhat out of control from Tarri... hmmm... that might be tricky, given the personalities? Nothing so much dark on their own, but... er... actually, I think I came up with one in relation to the whole affection part... yeeeah I dunno how bad this sounds, but it kinda also seems like an interesting thing as well..?
Okay.. his tailmouth is highly affectionate and friendly, like I said prior... so... what if that same affection could also manifest in a bit of a promiscuous nature? Tarri wouldn't initially do such a thing himself, but what if given the right circumstances that they might find themselves in (with a girl, obviously), such as hanging out alone and things are all very friendly, and Tarri's tailmouth might then take over and pretty much gets laid. xD
Tarri and his tailmouth are somewhat at odds about this, as Tarri wouldn't initially do something like that. But given how those two are like best buddies, Tarri would probably not be able to stay mad at his tailmouth for very long, I would imagine...
Also his tailmouth likes sweet things and cake, and when no one is looking, the tailmouth might quickly devour a cake sitting on the table at a party.
I dunno... what do you think?

XNeonFeather In reply to TarriPup [2015-09-01 23:38:24 +0000 UTC]

The mannequin, birds and the secret room yes all very odd traits to my normal bedroom XD

And yeah it appears he was much calmer than merton, and yes generally it is all in the tail! but on extreme circumstances for only a few seconds like a small episode he can take control just for a little bit, doesnt do too much though might make her slap someone or something he cant do too much and is usually just being a tail who does try to eat people!!! and yes I think tarris tailmouth would be better as a snuggly type :3 just too damn cute I mean im not sure exactly what you're describing id have to see it in picture format but it sounds interesting DD and omg yesss thats funny as hell but at least the tail gets some action.  The tailmouth should deft stuff his face with cake and sweet things, its cute!!

TarriPup In reply to XNeonFeather [2015-09-02 00:09:45 +0000 UTC]

Yes... normal... bedroom... xD
Omg but seriously I have imagined what it would be like to sleep in your bedroom and for some reason I am just so jealous that I can't sleep in it and just in general hang out in it all the time. xD

Only slap someone..? He doesn't get a bit more aggressive or threatening, even if it doesn't go further than what might appear as a personality change from Avril to something darker for a few seconds?
I got the trying to eat people from the bit where there is that one of Avril in class, with Merton's mouth tied up and the kid behind them is sweating... where is that one... ah!
So much tension in that one, it is so memorable. xD

I'd have to describe it? You mean as a visual? Pretty sure I've shown you this before, since I drew this in February, but I'm pondering doing another one of Tarri, and his tailmouth should probably have a name~


Omg you like that idea? The bit where the tailmouth takes over and has sex? xD
That said, I should point out that the tailmouth isn't trying to be some kind of stud trying to get his end off, I guess. It's more like he has this adorable charm about him and he is pretty much like an innocent child in a sense, as also highlighted by the cakes and sweets - and also can be sneaky in that sense, ALSO indicated by quickly devouring something like that cake down when no one is looking. It's like "where did the cake go?" and even Tarri didn't see his tailmouth eat that cake (although Tarri becomes wise to it, but doesn't say anything or apologise unless the tailmouth is actually CAUGHT OUT.) xD
When it comes to his tailmouth taking over and having sex with whichever girl has caught his affection, it would imply that Tarri's tailmouth can stay in control for longer that Merton can over Avril...

Hmm... when a tailmouth takes control, is the other aware? Like.. for example, when Merton takes control of Avril, is she completely aware of what is going on while Merton is in control, or does she sorta black out for the time Merton is in control?

XNeonFeather In reply to TarriPup [2015-09-02 01:25:53 +0000 UTC]

My bedroom is not that exciting in all honesty though. 
and yeah he does I just havent had the ability to represent him as I do mentally within my writings XD he'd probs get her to do something drastic and random at times though, he does have a short attention spam! and omg i forgot that piece ,soooo old. like yeah i remember drawing that one ages ago and like lol I love it but its just so old, would love to do a similarly themed picture later on! you will see later on in my drawings how I represent the characters bio if that makes sense.

and regarding that idea I mean the tailmouth technically cant! I mean I dont really think of my characters in that way . and yes your tailmouth sounds cute though!!! I like his description but oh god that would be interestingly weird cause technically my tailmouth Merton identifies as a male so i mean if he took over Avril during that then idk wouldnt that make him gay hahahhaha im not sure? and when he is in control she can somewhat make out whats happening but its rather faded, its kinda like she's hypnotised ? so is like very distant when Merton is in control. it doesnt happen often though! like I said its just random episodes that can occur. I kinda relate it somewhat to real life cause usually I'm ok but small things can trigger me into a massive outburst, I dont really know ow else to explain it, but sometimes I can do something that doesnt feel like me so I kinda relate that back to the character

TarriPup In reply to XNeonFeather [2015-09-02 01:53:02 +0000 UTC]

More exiting than my bedroom. Well... okay, the bedroom I have in the place of which I currently flat has an upper-closet thingy, which goes right for a little bit, sorta like turning the corner for a little bit.
But I won't have that anymore at the end of the year, everything shall be packed up and I shall be moving home. From there, who knows? I figure I could end up in Auckland or Wellington, depending.

Ah, so basically he would be sorta like the kick-in-the-pants she needs in certain circumstances? (Even though she doesn't wear pants)
I know though, but that pic stands out so much with me, I just can't forget it!
And I should probably make a bio for Tarri and his tailmouth... hmm... I need to think of an age for him... given his current pic, I'd say he is young, I can't see him being older than 14... how old is Avril?

Well no, technically it's not like the tailmouth is the one having sex, it's more like he is using Tarri to have sex, I mean it's Tarri's penis and all that! xD But the tailmouth would get to experience sexual pleasure and such as well as Tarri, so... eh. xD
I have already thought about that, given that Merton is male! xD I have pondered too... what if like Tarri and Avril were friends? It says there Avril is cuddly around friends, and Tarri is also cuddly - he loves cuddles. If they were friends can you imagine if they cuddled? Tarri's tailmouth would totally come out at this point and advance it from just cuddles to cuddles and sex - I have seriously pondered this. xD
Can't say what Avril would actually do in this situation, as I said, Tarri's tailmouth has a bit of a cute charm going on, so don't know if Avril would end up going with it or not. But I also pondered that even if Avril did, what if Merton took control in that moment? Would he snap at Tarri/Tailmouth or something? Or would he likely not take over at points like these? xD

I get what you are saying... I think I might have projected a potentially similar thing onto Tarri and his tailmouth (man, I really need to think of a name for that tailmouth! xD). I myself am a friendly fellow who can get upset over things and emotional and basically can be a total kid. I love cuddles, and would absolutely love to just cuddle up in bed.
That said, even if I intend only for cuddles during that snuggle in bed, I just get really... er... physically affectionate in the sense I would try to have sex, even if I wasn't intending to.
Although that said, I don't just share a bed with anyone, not even friends - like some friends I will grow comfortable enough to do that, they have to be special or close to me or best friends or something, so I at least have that barrier there.

(Also... I'd have to wonder when the first time Tarri's tailmouth discovered sex, lol... as it is, I would imagine that he would not understand the concept of being too young for something like that, that is more Tarri's department. xD)

oooooh yay moving time~!!! if you come to Auckland I can introduce you to everyone. Moving seems exciting however I myself have never done it so I cant say I have any idea the level of stress it puts onto people.

But im not sure kinda, like when I upload lots more pics in the future hopefully you will understand it as I perceive it within my head yeah omg that pic still gets me but would be cool to do another. and yeah you should deft do a bio for him and his tail mouth are you going to give the tail a name? Avril I try to age as I age if that makes sense, I've made her have less bright blue throughout her design like I did when I was 14 cause I thought it was so cool, she's probably around 20 my age I'd say now I think I'll just keep aging her as I age. 

I guess XD I'm not sure with the tailmouths, I've had weird people private message me to do some weird RP but I dont do it XD I cant ruin my character like that . I mean Id have to think about that in all honesty cause I've never perceived my characters like that, they are usually pretty non sexual except for Merton who is a bit of a perv. 

Honestly once you have developed the tailmouth character into a sheet it will be interesting to see what you come up with

TarriPup In reply to XNeonFeather [2015-09-02 02:47:05 +0000 UTC]

Well for now, when December rolls around, I will just be moving back to Dargaville first - it's easier if I stay with the olds for the time being, but then who knows... I have no clue, but Dargaville is much closer to Auckland than Invercargill, so day visits are actually possible.
If I do end up moving to Auckland, I'll have to take you up on your offer. Moving can be stressful, I personally find it a bit awkward - but it is made SO much easier when people I know are involved, like for example, if I were to move to Auckland to go flatting, and you were going to be my flatmate, I would be totally fine with that. Strangers, though... I would be freaking out a bit...

Maybe you should do another! Sorta like an update picture!!
Yes, I just need to think of a name for his tail... any ideas? For some reason I thought of Bubblegum. xD
Yes it does make sense... basically, Avril has the same age as you, and as you get older, she gets older. I suppose in a sense the same would happen for Tarri, kinda, but from a story point of view, the age sorta has to stay fixed.
In that sense, Avril might be the same age as when you created her, I suppose, for in terms of a plot interaction, rather than your current age. So... currently I imagine 14, I guess? (You were 14 when you created her?)

I'm a bit weary of RPs usually, unless we both agree to it, and usually I do these with friends... a friend of mine in Germany and I have been talking for a while now, and we've contemplated some questionable stuff, but since we're friends and we know we aren't actually being creepy, it's all fun and good and pretty much interesting conversation and proposals.
Lol fair point... though in the situation, I have to wonder how they would react to the situation... I would put Tarri as not really sexual, his tailmouth is the one that gets into that one, taking Tarri with him. xD
Merton is a bit of a perv..? That makes me wonder if he would totally get off on if Tarri's tailmouth sneakily took over and had sex with Avril, lol. xD

Oh right. Is the tailmouth genetic? That is, are characters born with tailmouths? Or is it more like a parasitic takeover where a normal pup might have his or her tail taken over by a parasite?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

XNeonFeather In reply to TarriPup [2015-09-02 02:55:40 +0000 UTC]

Yeah fair enough it is totally hard but you should deft come up to Auckland even if you dont end up living there

And yeah dw I will do another update picture and bubblegum is a cute name :3 and pretty much I mean when i first created her she was about that age I've just always perceived my characters as the same age as me and as I grow up they do as well, which is mainly why i got rid of the stupid bows and piercings (when I was 14) as well as the scene blue hair and stuff like that  

and yeah you gotta be weary of RPs cause sometimes they can get out of hand XD but I mean yeah its all in good fun with some people even though its just a character though I feel really personal towards my character so I try not to put her within those circumstances and yeah Merton is a massive perv hahahahhahah I'm not sure what he would do though. 

And in regards to the tailmouth I perceive it as they are born with it, but its not like fully formed? like it starts off as a normal looking tail with a slight bulge at the end of the tail and as they grow older it starts to form like the creases of the mouth, and then it will start to begin to open its mouth, but its still got just little nubby teeth then eventually it grows bigger with larger teeth and has the ability to stretch its mouth wider than before. So kinda like the development that occurs in regards to baby birds when they are born (they have no eyesight and cant do anything) but then over time their eyes open up, so kinda like that?

TarriPup In reply to XNeonFeather [2015-09-02 03:15:53 +0000 UTC]

I will def come to Auckland even if I don't even up living there!
One of the first things I wanna do is go to Auckland, I will drive the two hours it takes for me to get there to hang out!!

Lol well I named my eevee/sylveon in Pokemon Bubblegum, and one of my MLP OCs is name Bubblegum as well. Bubblegum could actually fit, especially since he loves sweets and cakes, the name probably fits very well!! xD
Might seem a bit weird since all of my Bubblegum OCs are female... lol unless I made my tailmouth identify as female, sorta like the opposite to Avril and Merton.. but I dunno. Merton might get turned on, lol. xD
In that sense, I will probably perceive Avril as 14, from a story perspective. From a representation of you, though, she will be like 20.
I mean heck, I've labeled Tarri as being 14 at the oldest, but I'm not 14.
But I like this little fantasy running through my head where Tarri and Avril are like friends... I dunno, what do you think? Think we should make up a little friendship backstory for them?

I know... someone already wanted to use my trainer OC in a roleplay he was doing with someone else, immediately I told him no, because no one decides what happens with my characters but me - essentially, my OCs have a piece of me in them, so... yeah that might sound sappy, but it's important to me...

I like Merton, he sounds like he'd make a massively interesting character, I just imagine him perving a lot and... given he identifies as male, and Avril is female, does he get perverted with her? Or is it only an outwards to others thing?
To be honest, I get the feeling that our Tailmouths would make for an interesting story, given their own personalities - both Avril and Tarri share common things, Tarri himself is shy with strangers, and cuddly and happy and friendly with friends. But Bubblegum is much more excitable in terms of social activity, and would always try to join a group even though Tarri would be too scared or shy... though Tarri can just easily distract Bubblegum with a lolly, much like a dog with a doggy treat - basically, Bubblegum knows what is a priority (cakes and sweets, every time) xD

I get it, it makes total sense... how long can it take until the tailmouth has come to the point of being aware and developed? Like, around what age?

YAYYYY Auckland too bad it is so far away though from you :\ you could always catch the bus down if worst comes to worst!

And yeah bubblegum is a cute name! would be funny if it was a female XD I think Merton is just pervy on other ladies only way he can see anything though is if he takes over, those few seconds will last a lifetime in his memory if ya get what I mean You can perceive Avril as whatever age you want, just with her new design I personally view her as being older yeah we can make up a backstory if you want haha. 

and yeah I'll pm you some of the weird things people have asked me to roleplay (we should probs move this convo to PM) hahahahha

He is a great character! hes more interesting than Avril thats for sure, and he's just a tail bloody hell I mean I assume he identifys as male, despite the fact he is sexless I love my tailmouth I wouldnt change him for the world despite the fact he can be a complete ass for the majority of the time. 

I'm not sure I mean piagets sensorimotor stage lasts from 0-2 years so i'm assuming by the age of 2 years it has fully formed but its like just a smaller and chubbier less scary version, and a lot smaller! with nubby little teeth, from the preoperational stage (0-7) is where he starts to get his curiosity and his nibbling habits, Concrete operations (7-12)  is more development, he starts to have a major growth spurt before Avril so this is the one stage where he is technically bigger than Avril, then formal operations (12+ years) is where of course Avril is beginning puberty and Merton goes about being his bipolar self he doesnt get pervy until the later years, he's more destructive during this time.

Too far away for me RIGHT NOW. I has a car, meaning when I am back north, I will has a car.
I don't need a bus. xD

I get the impression for those few seconds, he has seen heaven. xD
Well my friend Sam reckoned that I sounded like I may be genderfluid, so... why not? xD
That is fine, I will perceive Avril in whatever sense of situation I am perceiving her.
BACKSTORY! Yush yush... let's see... well, how old do you think they could have been when they first met and became friends?

(True true... I will move it when the next note and comment come through, I've already responded to your note...)

That is true, I mean Bubblegum would be sexless, he or she would not have any reproductive capabilities, but that said Tarri has sex organs so Bubblegum just er... borrows those for his pleasure trip. xD
Though that said, it's more like that Bubblegum perceives sex as just another physical affection, like cuddling.

Hmm... well I ask because I want to know where the heck Bubblegum's tendency to start getting all humpy and such... I guess that would start happening between 7-12, that said, is there an age in which the tail starts to gain the ability to temporary take over? Or does this exist pretty much throughout their entire life?
(Lol okies... how old would they be when Merton starts getting pervy? xD)
