Or inside jokes, call them what you will. Here's a list of stuff we keep doing over and over and over, or things that keep getting brought up as jokes OOC.

 

Pros/Cons

Usually in a thought bubble, used to show that a character is having trouble making a decision. Can't really be replied to and therefore is mostly used as somewhat humorous filler.

Bonus: it's impossible to write "pros/cons" in AIM chats without causing an error.

 

Drea the Rapist

Drea has pretty much hit on 75% of the people on the boat right now.

 

Onion (in general)

If it was an anime, she would be the cute pet.

 

Granth (in general)

Because he's a freaking level 25 ROBOT.

 

Boat (in general)

DrowLove is actually about Boat, our protagonist, and hir epic journeys.

 

Shin Is Never Online

Now appearing in Lumi's dreams.

 

Frownyface!Characters

Began with Frownyface!Lueali and has moved on to making bigger and better things unhappy.

 

HAIR, GLORIOUS HAIR

Because Drea is super creepy and before we'd even reached page two, he'd stolen a piece of Arinae's hair and sniffed Lueali's.

 

NPCs (in general)

Silhouettes with NPC written on the face, made to do things like row boats and carry unconscious people. We've been putting more effort into it recently, but still.

 

Flancat

Flan's head taped onto a cat body, with a snake tongue. It's as fucking creepy as it sounds.

 

Flan is a Cat.

Justice once compared elves to cats, and Flan is really the paragon of this theory.

 

Cockatiel!Flan

Fights mirrors in OOC

 

Flan!Flan

What you get when you name your character after FOOD.

 

Gibbering Mouther!Flan

Honestly, you can pretty much take Flan's coloration and apply it to anything, sprinkle it with belts, and have an instant joke.

 

Inner!Autem

Who is bold enough to say things that Autem is too polite to say.

 

Crash and Qili (and Cal sometimes)

Protip: If you need to leave an RP, at least be polite enough to draw a "leaving" post.

 

Chav/Gangster!Pyras/Lueali

ABOMINATIONS

 

BoatShaped!Objects

I have no idea how this one got started, but there it is. And while we're on the topic...

 

Nosebleeds

Not DrowLove-specific, but it's definitely something we picked up and ran off with. I'll tell you what it symbolizes when you're older.

 

Bees

Fox's meme, dragged to DrowLove because, for some reason, bees are REALLY FUNNY.

 

Shoop da woop

We didn't make this up, we just wish we had.

 

Verbing!

Started by Bob, taken by everyone else, an easy OOCish way to make sure your drawing reads 100% the way you meant it to.

 

Pink and Hearts

(NO IT'S NOT.)

This is sort of our logo/mascot/theme, because it doesn't fit the feel of the story at all and is therefore perfect.

 

HE NEEDS TO INGEST IT

Proper formatting is all caps, no punctuation. First said by Pyras and probably wouldn't have caught on if it wasn't in capslock.

Import Justice (22:13:17):I just realized

Import Justice (22:13:23):Pyras freaking talks in capital letters

Import Justice (22:13:26):HE NEEDS TO INGEST IT

Import Justice (22:14:14):"Yeah, so, I was thinking that maybe later, we could-" "HE NEEDS TO INGEST IT."

Import Justice (22:14:47):no wonder she has no friends

 

Pineapples

Why a drow pirate and his crew of lizardmen and Autem are transporting tropical fruit, we will never know.

 

Delayed Objects

Stolen from the Silva Mundi RP, this is when you forget to draw something important in the post, and then draw that and nothing else in the next post to make up for it.

 

Pyras is Hip

Also so so so hot hot.

 

KoolAid!Flan

Because we don't have enough variations on this character already.

 

Flan's nose

And it was never seen again.

 

Flan and Drea fighting

Any setting, any situation, any other variables. If these two are together, they will have a fight.

 

CURRENT MENTAL STATE

No point really, it's just for fun.

 

BEEF!

Because Arinae is really slim for someone with 18STR.

 

Strikethrough

For those times when you open your mouth to say something, realize how stupid it is, and shut your mouth again.

 

Lue and Drea NEVER LOCK THE DOOR

Regardless of how many times they find themselves alone, together, and/or unclothed, these two will NEVER remember to lock the door.

 

Autem in Doorways

Some kind of symbolism, or an honest cooincidence? YOU DECIDE.
