Establish Your Legacy

[KontanKarite]

If you were to not come back to G.net for the rest of your life, what do you think people would remember you for?

Mine:

The sweet and beautiful heart throb gone bad. I used to be very nice and supportive of the goth identity. But over the years, the bloom faded and I became jaded. Now I tear ass around the forums flaming anyone and everyone that identifies with some kind of dark aesthetic, making people laugh their asses off, still making hearts throb, and causing as much chaos/silliness to keep me amused with this place. Also, a partner in crime with Despanan. Some now would remember me as that sweet young man, others would remember me as a terror and a damned good looking annoyance.

Now you.

Thanks for the idea, Saya.

For some reason, I feel as if I haven't been here long enough to have a legacy.

Ummmm

Jin: Annoying but mistaken, known for being a racist in denial. Confused in my beliefs, and a self righteous hipster who somehow thought it would be a good idea to join a gothic forum out of boredom. Camera whore, foe to the girls. Bash"ee" to the guys. Yet in the end bearable. I think people have softened up to me a bit. But not completely. I would be remembered as just "vin".

Foe to the girls? I thought the girls tend to like you more. And I honestly do like you, once you got over being proud of being stubborn. Before that I couldn't stand looking at your posts. You're ignorant but willing to learn now at least.

[vindicatedxjin]

The word ignorant hurts.

[Saya]

I don't mean it in a bad way, ignorant as in you just don't know, stupid is unwilling to know. You are often ignorant but your stupidity has scaled back immensely as of late.

[vindicatedxjin]

It's all good. Enough about me. Your legacy.

[Saya]

I've changed a lot over five years, its hard to say. I don't really remember what I was like five years ago, and I'm afraid to go that far back and see what I wrote. But people seem to put up with me and even...like me! Beyond my comprehension. My current legacy does seem to be shrill feminist vegan pinko though XD I'm okay with that. I think I've mellowed enough and learned to pick my battles that I'm pretty bearable for a harpy these days.

[vindicatedxjin]

I can't believe next August will be my 2 year gnet anniversary. Five years is just wow.

[Garethsteen]

I'm still working on my legacy, of course that's if I decide to leave one.

[Timeless Rebellion]

You don't decide to leave a legacy.
Stay here long enough and it's just there.

Anarasha/Timeless Rebellion:
Used to be ignorant, coveted victim of flaming, no idea about which music was which but still claimed to know more than everyone else about it.
Eventually adapted, realized he knew shit about music but decided to research and eventually shut up about it.
Somewhat got accepted as just being here, got in a discussion with the admin, got banned but returned dreadfully and is just here now.
Has a screwed up sense of how to lose weight.

[Sir Canvas Corpsey]

Damn, I have to work on a legacy now?

[Bete Noire]

I have no idea what people on here think of me, considering I was only 14 or 15 when I joined, and considering how little I've been around recently, and considering how few of the people who were here back then are here now.


Corpsey, you'd be remembered, no work required!

[Timeless Rebellion]

Hey, wouldn't it have been better if you had to say what the legacy was of the person above you? It is kinda hard to establish how others would remember you.

Thanks but now I have to wonder... for what am I remembered? O_o

[Saya]

Being a connoisseur of handsome men?

[Corpsey]

I'd probably be remembered as being mistaken for SCC. -.- I was here first, you dirty Australian.

Other than that, The Kindness Game, Reincarnation of the Poetry thread and having a picture on the first page of the new Picture thread will be my legacy.


As for Saya: That Vegan chick that knitted mean woolen scarfs.

[carakitty]

I think I've come across as being a little shallow and self-centered yet I am usually nice to people new and old. If I don't have anything nice to say I usually don't say anything so sometimes I'm a bit quiet.

I like this idea too but agree with Timeless Rebellion in that it is difficult to identify our own legacy because we can often never be really sure what others truly think of us.

Why don't we each make our own thread titled "carakitty's legacy" (but use your own name of course!)? Then who ever wants to give their lasting impressions may do so.

(hello spam?)

Guilty as charged!

[Corpsey]

It was worse when Lakisha or whatever her name was started telling me i need some women instead of man love once upon a time. Many questions were raised in my mind as to what the hell I posted to get that response.

I will mail you your scarf soon! I promise! *guilt guilt* Its technically not wool though, not vegan XD I think that one was an acrylic/rayon blend, very soft and not at all itchy.

Re emphasis on the Vegan required. & No worries, Saya, good things come to those who wait.

[Despanan]

My legacy?

It is one of crushed egos and shattered souls. I'm the writer/actor/Internet Klingon who came to Gnet to hang out with his longtime friend Kontan, while living in another city/ hiking the Appalachian Trail. I was confrontational but still fairly nice, and got the shit flamed out of me for my trouble.

Then the gloves came off and I punched Gnet in the balls until it developed stockholm syndrome and fell in love with my whacky antics. Now I spread my time between trolling and straight running shit.

I had a stint in white-knighting when I led the Martian Knights against Helpmann and Co.

I am probably at least partially responsible for:

-Alan no longer being the big dog on the forum

-Simply being an anarchist no longer making one automatically cool

-Underwater Ophelia no longer posting her poetry

-Deadman being put on mass ignore

Those who have found themselves on the end of a Despanan-led beatdown often report tears, headaches, night-terrors and an inexplicable physical attraction to me. Don't worry, I'm not vengeful and I don't hold grudges, so long as you go belly-up it should be over soon.

I also posted a couple of stories.

[Sir Canvas Corpsey]

Yeah... I did plunder your name... unknowingly! I swear! D:

At least I added 'Sir Canvas' as opposed to just 'Mr' as I originally intended.

I suppose my appreciation of the male gender is pretty central to my presence on here... oooh, and a mixed bag of work in Literature!

I've changed a lot since the first time I posted here and Maggot welcomed me in his special way.
