Why play video games when you can be IN one?

'Sup! I'm Michael, though you probably know me better as my avatar name, Ehm! And this is Jeremy, AKA Ny0! We're here to answer any questions you got! |About| |Character Info| (Have you ever wondered what it would be like if Michael and Jeremy were actually in a video game? Wonder no longer! This is an RPG AU based off of the novel Ready Player One! -This blog is on an indefinite hiatus-)

[ask-readyplayergaymers]

I just read the entirety of Ready Player One in less than a day and it's partially this blog's fault because between here and the movie's release I just really wanted to read it and my dad actually owned a copy of the book so I got it and read the WHOLE THING super fast! And it was awesome!

((WHOA NICE!! I actually just returned from seeing the movie and it was really good ^^ It was vastly different from the book though so be prepared for a lot of changes if you go to see it :0

But yes both the book and the film are great! I’m glad you enjoyed the novel ^p^))

What's this? Jeremy likes Warriors? Does he like the other series by Erin Hunter (Seekers, Survivors, etc.)? What's his favorite arc? His favorite Clan? Is he up to date with all the books? Is there a Warriors world in the OASIS, do you think? If so, do they play as humans, or get turned into cats or something? I have so many questions and I cannot begin to tell you how obsessed I used to be with Warriors.

Jeremy: Uh, haha…yeah…

Michael: Furry

Jeremy: SH U SHAnyway, I tried reading the other series but? They’re just not as good as Warriors in my opinion;; My favorite arc is the New Prophecy! I loved it when all the chosen ones went on that journey to the sun-drown place together. My favorite Clan is ThunderClan—

Michael: RiverClan is way better!

Jeremy: Okay sorr-eeeee lol. I haven’t caught up yet, no, it’s been a little while since I’ve read them. And yes, there’s a Warriors world in the OASIS! You get to transform into a forest cat and pick which Clan you’d like to belong to, and which era, it’s pretty sweet. Out of the four of us, I’m the one that goes there the most often…

Michael: Well, obviously.

Jeremy: It’s just fun to be a ThunderClan cat and have Michael be a RiverClan cat, because we get to sneak out and have our “forbidden romance” lmao

Nothing in the universe makes sense anymore XD

Jeremy: I’m a billionaire. I’m allowed to not make sense

Michael: But does being a billionaire have to do with—

Jeremy: Money has everything to do with everything, Michael, why do you think I risked my life trying to get the egg and had my house blown up

Michael: Alright, touché, please stop making that sad face, I’ll kiss it better

Jeremy: ………Okay

[ask-readyplayergaymers]

Michael: But Jeremy, why do we bake cookies and cook bacon? It doesn’t make any sense

Jeremy: I. I’m not high enough for this shit right now Michael, ask me when I’m stoned

[ask-readyplayergaymers]

Boys, boys. Let's be honest here. Kumiho Cookie is clearly best cookie out of them all.

Michael: They’re right. They’re absolutely right

Jeremy: That little giggle she makes when she slides? It’s perfect

Michael: She mastered the technique of transforming into a cookie so she could fit in…a true legend

Jeremy: The VIP!! She’s adorable and an inspiration

Christine: Are you two done now your cookies are going to burn

Michael: NO—

Jeremy: And we call ourselves Cookie Comrades when we’re literally baking them right now. I’m such a hypocrite

Michael: Lolololol

[ask-readyplayergaymers]

What have you all been into lately?

Michael: I’ve been into Jeremy

Jeremy: M-Michael!!

Michael: Is it flirting hour already?? Sign me up!

Jeremy: Anyway uhh Micah and I have been super into this mobile app called Cookie Run? It’s really really fun and addicting!

Michael: Besides Jeremy, Wizard Cookie is my husband and I love him

Jeremy: Same for me but I’m gay for Rockstar Cookie I mean. That hair. Wild. And Avacado Cookie? My butch lesbian bestie I love her

Michael: Lolol it’s a super rad game! And it’s pretty sweet for a mobile app too, there’s no ads and there’s always something to do and not much of a wait time. Preeeeetty impressive.

Jeremy: And the character designs are great. As somebody who is especially picky about style I’m a sucker for all of the designs I want them all

Michael: Dammit I’m getting hungry now. Wanna go make some cookies?

Jeremy: YES do we have the easy to make storebought kind? With the double amount of chocolate chips

Michael: Mmhmm. Can we cuddle on the couch while we wait for them to bake

Jeremy: You drive a hard bargain, Sir Ehm. Haha of course we can, you doofus

Do you guys play Skullgirls? If you do, what do you think about it and who do you main?

Jeremy: Huh, haven’t heard of it before. Weird…

Michael: Where have you been? It’s been a thing since like, 2012.

Jeremy: Clearly I need to get out more.

Michael: Clearly. Anyway, I haven’t had the chance to play it myself, but it looks like a good game! And the character designs are nice! Jer, we should definitely give it a try once we get the chance.

Jeremy: Why not buy the entire game series? It’s not like we don’t have the money.

Michael: Touché.

Rich: Did you guys say Skullgirls?! Hell yeah, I want in on that!

Jeremy: Heh, seems like a game you’d be into, Rich. Alright, show us the ropes!

So...Shiny Pokèmon. What do everyone think if them? Waste of time/effort, really cool, or what?

Michael: I think shiny Pokemon are hella cool!! I once spent a week straight hatching eggs trying to get a shiny Mimikyu lol

Jeremy: Okay but you guys need to listen to this—Rich isn’t as into Pokemon as we are but for some bizarre reason he has the best luck concerning shinies. He soft reset while he was trying to catch a Reshiram and it ended up being shiny and I’m still salty about it it’s not fAIR

Michael: Lmao I have no idea what sort of magic he has that lets him constantly run into shinies, but Rich is definitely the shiny king.

[ask-readyplayergaymers]

hoi im new n confused are these your RPO ocs? ;0

((Omg no lol they’re characters from a musical called Be More Chill! This is just an AU crossover with the BMC characters in the RPO universe ^^))

[ask-readyplayergaymers]

Wait... Are there replica Voltron Lions you can pilot in the OASIS? If so, can you form Voltron as a group? If that if so is so, who of the High Five form what part of Voltron?

Jeremy: Yup! The Squips had the Lions in their possession for a while right before the final battle, but once all their accounts were terminated I swooped in and transferred the Lions to the High Five’s special base! Those were the official ones provided from the Hunt, but there are countless other replicas that people can use once they get the right mission achievements.

Michael: I pilot the Yellow Lion! Rich has Blue, Christine has Green, Jake has Red and—

Jeremy: Since I’m the Team Leader, I pilot Black! I form the head~

Michael: Yeah yeah yeah, keep bragging about it, smartass.

Jeremy: It is my RIGHT and PRIVILEGE, Michael

Hey since I’m reading the book Ready Player One, will I have to worry about any spoilers for it or the movie on here?

((Yes, this blog is an AU that takes place after the book ends, so if you want to avoid spoilers I’d suggest staying away until you finish the book :0))

[ask-readyplayergaymers]

First things first!!!!!! How is Jake?

Rich: He’s good!! Still snoozin’ haha but he’s actually been improving steadily over the past few months so?

Get this! The other day he squeezed my hand! It was just. Really awesome, I legit almost started crying.

I have high hopes for my boy. Hopefully it won’t be too much longer before he’s up and around again. He’s missed a lot while he’s been conked out, I can’t wait to update him on all the good shit that’s been released lately!

[ask-readyplayergaymers]

((Time to start fresh!! Send in some asks and we’ll have fun building up til the movie’s release!))

>But seriously people need to stop clogging up the tag with their complaints lmao if you don’t like it then just get out;;< Nah dawg, we gonna keep slammin'. Ernest Cline is a hack who couldn't write an original story to save his life. He's only popular and considered a great writer because he references things that people know. Take out all the pop culture sludge from his book, and you'll see how souless and inept he is.

((Okay?? I still think that even without all of the extra pop culture garbage it’s still a really good story (honestly it probably would have been better to take out like 80% of the references, but. Meh) There’s a lot of good personal conflict in there, mostly with Wade being a dick lol but? I genuinely love the characters and just the overall plot, it all came together at the end so well imoBut yes I do agree with you about all the extra references lol at this point that’s what the movie seems to be entirely made of instead of the actual story with Wade, Arty and Aech. Hopefully they keep the most important aspects of the book in there

Also people spouting hateful comments in the tag isn’t really going to do anything;; if people really hate it that much they can go to the author himself, nobody’s gonna see their comments on tumblr ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ So that’s why I’m tired of seeing that stuff in the tag, keep it to yourself or go yell at Ernest Cline about it, I just want to try to enjoy the movie as best as I can as somebody who treasures and loves the novel despite all of its flaws))

[ask-readyplayergaymers]

Ready Player One comes out at the end of this month!! Are you excited?

((YES VERY!! I know it’s been quite some time since I’ve touched this blog, but with the release of the movie I plan to reread the novel before it comes out this month! I’m sure I’ll be back soon to start answering asks again in the spirit of the movie’s release

I’ve been looking through the tags and a lot of people seem really angry at this movie;; which is understandable but as somebody who’s read the novel and treasures it enough to have an ask blog based off of it, I’m gonna try to go in without any judgements on the film and rate it honestly! I just want them to stay true to the book as closely as possible, the multiple pop culture references are just an added bonus

But seriously people need to stop clogging up the tag with their complaints lmao if you don’t like it then just get out;; nobody’s gonna force you to pay money to go see the film if you already hate it that much

I for one am really hyped! I’ve been waiting for this movie for almost a year and I’ll take the good and the bad parts of it. Just remember that this blog is directly based off the novel but once I see the movie I might throw in some stuff from it in here if I like it enough :0

Anyway that’s all I have to say lol but I hope you guys are as pumped as I am?? I’m looking forward to it! Ya’ll can come shout in my inbox once you see the movie and we can freak out about it together))

Is plus ultra a bnha reference?

Michael: YOU BET YOUR ASS IT IS

Jeremy: Micah and I inhaled both seasons of BNHA in two days and we’re still recovering from the shock

Michael: Okay but can we please agree that Mr. Pretty Boy has captured both of our hearts

Jeremy: Todoroki could burn my hand off and I wouldn’t even care. I WOULDN’T MIND AT ALL

Michael: SAME??

Rich: SAME??

Jeremy: Whoa when did you get here?

Rich: I heard you mention BNHA, now I really want to watch it and see my dad

Michael: //sniffs and wipes away tears Yeah man, Dad Might is such a stellar parental figure

Rich: All Might?? Oh no. I was talking about Dadzawa

Jeremy: D A D Z A W A OHHH MY GOD

Christine: DID SOMEBODY SAY URARAKA I’M GAY FOR HER

Michael: You ARE her, Chris

Christine: Gather up your pillows and popcorn, boys, we’re going to have a marathon

Rich: HELL YES. See you all on the flipside, we’ll be back in 13 hours
