Sulley's situation is plausible and tbh, despite his pride for his father I always thought him as a mother's boy. We do have that shout out in MU after all. In the original film we have his mother calling about the advert (she's so proud clearly even if we never hear her speak- and that's adorable).
When there was only the original film I always head canoned Sulley's father having passed on by MI's time- Sulley's relationship with Waternoose almost being a 'stand in'. I still kind of keep to it somewhat now.
Technically Sulley's father abandoning him isn't canon so people can choose not to follow it but it's still a good one. Heh.
Personally I kind of more head canon Sulley's father being well meaning mostly but caught up in Scaring and Sulley's mum did take care of most of the child raising. Sulley's dad in terms of personality in my head made Sulley in MU look meek. (MU!Sulley turned up to eleven). He was well liked- but he was loud and brash. He also was the kind of guy to say things like "Sensitive monsters do not make good scarers." Things Sulley internalised. As well as having a specific idea about how to immediately recognise a good scarer- Johnny also got this from his own father. It's typical sometimes in certain scaring families.
Say for instance though Johnny's prank though. In my own head canon Johnny's real dad is pretty strict (not abusive, but strict and all about appearances) and wouldn't care for the prank because it makes Johnny look childish (also he'd inform Johnny to just back off and keep an eye on Sullivan should he prove himself in anyway- since he's a Sullivan and all that). But Sulley's dad in my head canon- if Johnny was his son instead- would slap Johnny on the back and roar and praise him as if it was the most hilarious thing ever. He's not... cruel but insensitive- more or less Sulley in MU only kind of worse and without the secret vulnerability.
I also head canon the Worthington's and Sullivan's having been related somewhere down the line but you'd have to go very far back- very far back.

I've done Sulley but just with one other person (not linking those things... hahahaha). I also rpd Mike though on a different account though- but only for a short while- it's kind of fallen into the dust for now: Top Scare Assistant

The legend of Aang (Or The Last Airbender) is one of my favourite shows. The Legend of Korra isn't something I'm quite as enamored with but I adore this show. My favourite character is Aang the main character who is an adorable happy twelve year old who breaks your heart by having the weight of the world on his shoulders- but luckily he has great friends to help him out.
I pretty much love almost everyone in this show and it's pretty damn fantastic.
Here for reference is another character I love: Iroh. The Uncle of the first main antagonist Zuko and all around tea lover and fantastic character. He's pretty instrumental to his nephew's character development as well as being utterly loveable himself:

There are a lot of oc pairings really. Overall I think folks are just having fun though or getting started with writing and maybe they'll want to get into it more later or not. But overall I read fanfic for the canon characters alone and they should be the main focus. So I just more or less ignore the OC stories. I just am not interested.
I do like the idea of canon and oc character friendship though.
But honestly: I don't think Randall as he is after Mi could really... handle a romantic relationship. Not yet anyway. There would need to be time for that to happen. He needs to learn to be a friend first before anything like that.
Friendships and non-romantic relationships can also be messed up, but usually such folks do have other friends to help them out. Romantic relationships are generally more exclusive (in monogamy obviously). I think psychologically it's probably easier to leave or call out a bad friend then a bad partner too there's just... things there in the background I can't really explain. I mean the former can still be pretty damn hard clearly but the latter it seems is more difficult.
Though I'll be honest- I think Randall himself would find the idea of being with any human at all to be utterly repulsive.
I think for myself I think I dislike it that if someone is having a rough time that means bad things they do are swept under the rug or are not an issue to look at suddenly.
I mean yeah you can say Randall is stressed out and all but does that make his treatment of Fungus okay? Nope. He's taking it out on him when he doesn't deserve it. And Fungus gets ignored by everyone which is also an issue.
Like I've also read stuff in the past where Randall yells at Sulley and Mike after the events of MI about his life and they don't have anything to say back or made out to be 100% wrong. Which is kind of silly. They have /a lot/ to say back. I think it's possible to sympathies with someone even if they're wrong. But that doesn't mean what they did is automatically okay either.

A more PG version of a certain... little game. (Since I think the age limit is only 13 here. Heh.) Let's spam up these boards.
So yeah you probably already know, but you answer who you would like to do the above things with using the last three names someone left. After answering you then leave three other names for example:
Sulley, Randall and Mike
Kiss: Randall (I'm curious though he'd probably smack me one) Marry: Sulley (He's just better marriage material at the end of the day) Have a drink with: Mike. (He'd probably be a lot of fun and the effects of alcohol would only cause me to laugh more).
So for the next person who would you Kiss, Marry or have a drink with out of:
Johnny, Art and Dean Hardscrabble.

(You will regret making this thread now I'm here).
Hmm well I've had a post-mi story idea which would probably be way too long and complicated- heck I'm having trouble updating my current one.
But overall I noticed that in various post MI fics where the idea is getting Randall back it ends up being pretty easy to find him at the end of the day. I had an idea for a multi-chapter fic where instead it's actually pretty complicated and Sulley and Mike are really the main characters whom the story follows around. (Randall is more or less just shown through flash backs... if even that. Who even knows- I think it might be just a lot of people talking about him).
It would be mostly a Mystery/Adventure kind of deal where Sulley and Mike are set with the task of getting Randall back. Randall is needed in order for his own trial and also Waternoose's trial in the provision as a witness as Waternoose's lackey. The judge, kind of annoyed that Sulley and Mike have complicated the issue (and wants to send Waternoose down for a long time if she can) sets them with the task of getting him back.
It would either be after MI and when Boo is back or in-between- you know that year after the big day and before Sulley is reunited with Boo. I actually prefer the latter idea more or less for the prologue idea.
In the prologue planned out Sulley and Mike were talking to Fungus (who is serving a short prison sentence- about six months, and Sulley promises when they get back he'd have a job waiting for him, criminal record or not).
I even had various human OCs in this too (a cop who distrusts Randall and a vet, her friend, who doesn't- but she doesn't hate anyone much) and one monster OC who was officially banished. Though there is no romance save for canon. Even the family in the trailer play a role and they're not bad people at the end of the day, just a bit rough around the edges.
I've thought about this idea far too much but there are far too many gaps too to it for it to work. Also if I'm honest the female monster who was banished would probably be far too much like Koh from ATLA so far. She kind of scoffs because Randall messed things up badly and set the emntire swamp on edge. He killed a human hunter and it's up in the air if it was truly accidental or not.
Also the sister of the man he killed is hunting Randall down for revenge and it's all an utter mess.
So yeah there's a mix of ideas I like but I have no idea about how Sulley and Mike would get clues apart from randomly stumbling around and happening across things by pure and utter luck rather then any kind of skill. Plus I don't have the time right now anyway.
Ah well.

Somehow we managed to utterly corrupt each other. I think it's an instance where we're both to blame.

I can't really think of any character I hate. I mean yeah I do think some characters I wouldn't get on with or find annoying in real life if I met someone like them but as characters they're pretty much all either interesting or entertaining to me.

It's kind of a head trip looking back let's be honest here. Haha.
I don't know, more seriously, Boggs board was kind of like an abyss of bad decisions made on my part so I have little interest in looking back on it. Though occasional attention drawn to it means I've made the mistake of looking- and mass cringing results. I don't really even want to log in to delete there at all.
I mean I'm going to make mistakes in the future no doubt but hopefully never on that level again. o_0

Sulley for me but that should be obvious really. I love Randall and Mike a lot too though.
I also have a soft spot for Fungus though in terms of characters which are only found in MI. When it comes to characters who were only in MU I love the Perry twins, Art and Dean Hardscrabble the most.

I used to be on boggs board with a different name. I was a prick though myself so I don't really have an interest in returning. (Apologies to anyone here who ran into that).

Maybe it's because he was invisible. I mean he was taking Sulley unexpectedly, if someone throws a random punch out of nowhere it's probably gonna have more affect than if you can see it coming Yeah I agree, Maybe the punch was just really Random. There's also the fact Randall raised a canister and hit him full smack on the back of his head before this. I think he could be mildly concussed at this stage. Sulley isn't working at 100% when Randall flicks him to the side with his tail perhaps not fully steady of his feet. Still Randall has some good strength in his torso and tail to do that to someone of that weight (as well as choke him like that)- though his arms are thin and noodly and probably don't have much strength at all the rest of him suggests a lot of strength. Sulley also bends a metal bar to block the door when being chased by Waternoose and it seems possible Waternoose still smashed through it to get to the simulator room. Sulley has considerable weight on his side which probably helps too. . He has a gut in MI but also thicker arms than in MU- and honestly in strong man competitions on tv I've seen I do see the guys having kind of a gut on them. Mike might make comments but honestly his work outs probably contributed to it in some way.

Otp: Sulley/Randall (This was not meant to happen. I still can't get over it sometimes).
NoTp: I'm not a fan of Randall/OC either but tbh I'm more or less indifferent to it these days. Let people have their fun I guess- I just won't be reading it probably. I can like platonic stuff though with OCs. My real NOTP would probably be Sulley/Boo even if she's aged up. Sulley is too much of a father figure to her really IMO for it to be anything more than uncomfortable for me.
Brotp: In canon Sulley and Mike naturally though I do like the idea of throwing Randall in there as a friend. Also Fungus. (Little guy get's left out a lot).
