Hellooooo, Taxon. I am Carolyn and I bring you Don Draper of ~~Don Draper Makes Terrible Life Choices~~ apparently the show is called Mad Men. He is from 1965; you may therefore expect casual racism/sexism/homophobia and have blanket permission to smack him.

I already know some of you through various channels and look forward to being a corrupting influence on the rest.

I plan to intro him tomorrow and will be sorely disappointed if he isn't trolled on a massive scale.

SCREAM I AM SO ENTIRELY EXCITED YOU DO NOT EVEN KNOW

...also as the people with manners do: hi, I'm Sarah! I'm one of your mods 'round these parts and I play Dawn Summers and Faith Lehane from Buffy, Sookie Stackhouse from True Blood and Damon Salvatore from Vampire Diaries. I am also technically on hiatus but... Don Draper. HIATUSES FAIL IN HIS WAKE.

Welcome to Taxon, we're glad to have you and for the record your app was a joy to read NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR TL;DR.

...we're going to pretend I did not randomly replace 'fail' with 'quail' okay?

/saw the quail

rumi get out. >|

THAT'S WHAT I LIKE TO HEAR

Awesome! I'm familiar with Buffy (as I don't live under a rock) and somewhat familiar with True Blood--I played with a book!Sookie once upon a time.

AHAHAHAHA it was three times the length of my yuletide fic (maybe I should be apologizing to my recipient). But I'm glad you didn't suffer unduly.

/pretends like a champ!

WHO DOESN'T LOVE DON DRAPER I ASK OF YOU

IT WAS A LOVELY APP I believe there was talk of making out with it under the bleachers. Also 'appgasm'. WE LIKE OUR TL;DR.

this is why you are my favorite.

ANYONE WHO HAS TO INTERACT WITH HIM ON A REGULAR BASIS

I MEAN...

Ahahahaahha, you're too kind.

Hey, I have an actual question! Would he show up as Dick Whitman on the map?

SHHHHHHHHH HE IS A V V NICE MAN

>.>

From the IM Files of Mods Discussing Things:

[23:18] princess sparkles mcunicorn: so imo it could go either way? i mean if you watch mad men you know
[23:18] princess sparkles mcunicorn: don draper
[23:18] princess sparkles mcunicorn: not dick whitman
[23:18] princess sparkles mcunicorn: but his birth name IS dick whitman
[23:19] world's best officious bisexual: if she wants dick she can have
[23:19] world's best officious bisexual: as much dick
[23:19] world's best officious bisexual: as she likes
[23:19] princess sparkles mcunicorn: so imo we give her the choice -- LOLOLOL
[23:19] world's best officious bisexual: I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF

SO BASICALLY: he can show up as Don if you like or as Dick if that's how you roll, and later if you want to have him ask someone to change it either way it's open.

welcome! i'm carlee, and i play this one (elena gilbert of the vampire diaries), max guevara of dark angel, and angela dodson of constantine. all of whom i imagine will have varying reactions to don's 1960s mentality. i know nothing about mad men, but john hamm is pretty awesome!

DICK JOKES ALREADY

THIS IS THE GAME OF MY DREAMS

But I will probably go with Don.

[23:27] world's best officious bisexual: i feel like we should have a disclaimer somewhere
[23:27] world's best officious bisexual: "we're sorry your mods are kind of obsessed with jazzled genetalia. blame society."
[23:28] princess sparkles mcunicorn: ahahahahahahaha y i agree

we are a special bunch. AND DON IT IS.

Jon Hamm is amazing.

And hello! He's...more progressive than some of the other characters on the show, but that's not saying much. Also he voted for Nixon.

♥

Howdy! I'm Rumi, one of the modly types and she who trolled Sarah earlier about her typos, because I make bad decisions when lingering in the mod journal. ANYWAY. I play Angel of Buffyverse fame, James T. Kirk from Star Trek XI and Stefan Salvatore of the The Vampire Diaries. Kirk will probably go ★___★ at living history until he goes D: at the 60s mentality.

THAT APP MADE ME PREGNANT.

LOOK EVEN GLITCH IS SMOKING.

PS Carolyn - you are stuck with whatever pumpkinheaded skinny-tie-wearing horror I produce. JSYK.

Welcome! I play Tara Maclay from Buffy, and look forward to seeing you around.

HELLO AND WELCOME, I'm Keri and I'm the mod who's carrying your app's child. I play Glitch from Tin Man, who has only just found out what homophobia is (thank Smecker) and so who will =D at Don's fashion sense but then =\ at his attitude.

Meanwhile everything I know about Mad Men I learned from Tom & Lorenzo and will someday bite the bullet and just watch it because it looks amazing ♥

who are you.

what.

no.

get out.

Don't start a GET OUT war with me. YOU WILL NOT WIN.

P.S. That iiiiiiicon. Fond memories.

P.P.S. If Alan were here he'd totally change his name on the map to Paul Smecker.

Oh please you'll just revert to that frog/lizard/neon abomination gif eventually.

P.S. I haven't gotten to use that icon for a good reason in like years

P.P.S. Paul would be extra-sure to piss off the vampires that day

I'M GOING TO BED NOW SERIOUSLY I'M GOING TO BED

(does that mean I'm getting out?)

IT'S A FROG. GOD.

P.S. Any reason to use that icon is a good reason!

P.P.S. Haahahahaha, extra sure. I love the implication that Paul would have to put effort into pissing someone off.

HI KERI. I trust you will love and nurture it and get it to soccer practice on time.

Hahahahahaha, he won't...use slurs or anything (he actually doesn't much care), but if Paul (or anyone else) starts talking about it or--God forbid--acting on it, THEY WILL RECEIVE A LECTURE ON DISCRETION. Which I'm sure will go over great.

That's a fantastic source! I just assume everyone knows him from the SNL sketch. (And yes, it is indeed amazing.)

Hi I'm Lauren (called Laur here since there are apparently 2 billion Laurens) and I play Spencer Reid from Criminal Minds. Hope you have fun here!

OR MAYBE THE APP JUST MADE HIM TAKE UP SMOKING

DON TENDS TO HAVE THAT EFFECT

PS See my other comment re: soccer practice and you.

Hello! As a fan of both trolling and bad decisions, it is a pleasure to meet you.

Awwww, Kirk. SORRY TO CRUSH YOUR DREAMS. Once the incredulousness subsides Don will have many questions for him ~~about advertising~~. They will not all be about advertising.

Hiiiiii! (I know you, shhhhhh.)

No child of mine will play soccer. There shall be all the hockey + ballet if it so desires.

I know, just...going with the trend of making =\ faces ♥

I watch that blog for Project Runway stuff and kept getting distracted by PRETTY RETRO AND KITSCH and so just...ate all the content. As you do :3

There's a exclusive club for these habits. We have membership badges and glittery hats.

Kirk will have many questions in turn about what it was like to live ~in the distant past~ and crush dreams with explaining how the acquisition of wealth and the use of currency is no more in his time?

/uses this journal, even though i no longer play him here, because woo more bad decisions and trolling idk

Hello, I'm Megan and I play Amy Pond from Doctor Who. Welcome to Taxon! I, uh, actually know nothing about Mad Men, but Amy's a time traveler so she'll probably try a bunch of '60s lingo on him and it will be facepalm worthy.

SO PREDICTABLE CAROLYN.

P.S. Yeah but it only is awesome if people know who Alan is and who Paul is and yeah.

P.P.S. Well, you know, just making sure they're all the way to homicidal.

P.S. I can think of at least 3 people who know those things!

P.P.S. Under those circumstances, Alan would have no choice but to change his name to "Paul Smecker is a jerk."

I look at that and all I can think is "Wind in the Willows goes noir".

P.S. Are we two of them?

P.P.S. Well, yes.

FABULOUS. He will be so confused. And then quietly appalled.

That's the plan! Nice to meet you.

(...this is why I shouldn't tag before breakfast, derp.) WELCOME ANYWAY. XD

This is.... this is likely going to be a bit to swallow.

WOW PAUL YOU DON'T WASTE ANY TIME

Look he's been hitting on Santa, bringing up blowjobs to Glitch, and talking about condoms to Jenny- why should Don be spared.

I can only hope Spock is next.

Hi there! I'm Stella and all I've got is this one here. I know nothing about your canon but if he makes homophobic remarks around her, there will be much with the linefacing XD

one never knoooows

are you at work?

For once in my life, no.

HI. Spider, plays Sam Axe. Am way too excited about Don Draper being part of this whole mess here.

I AM SO STOKED YOU HAVE NO IDEA

Also I don't watch Burn Notice but Sam is a joy to ~~stalk~~ read.
