I only have two AES, and I made them as…well…my Alter Egos. 

I'm super bad at portraying them…. But they are legitimately diffent, darker sides of myself put into Grasshopper and KitKat (Cricket)

Grasshopper is rude and loves messing with people! I do too, but in reality I keep !my rude remarks to myself instead of insulting people…..I'd probably be a bully if I let him shine through. I bet I'd even loose a couple friends.

KitKat is the murderous, evil villain, depressed and insane side of me. It only shines through with close friends, when I will start making jokes about blood, death, murder, killing everybody….ect.

I thought that's what AEs were supposed to be, I guess. So I modelled mine after them, to kind of show people that…I'm weird…and different. They are both a part of me, Katydid. Without them…well, people probably wouldn't notice, but I would. 

I feel like some people make them for the heck of it. I did originally, actually. When I made Grasshopper. Making AES was 'in' so I made mine. But as his personality shone through…I realized we were one person.

Bug. Whatever.

I don't know where I'm going with this.

I really love your AES, Brookeira, and you are fabulous too, but I understand why you want to revoke them.

I legitimately barely use my AES….

But they will miss you, Baelfire and MP.

Now I'm depressed after writing this, for some weird reason. Huh. Maybe KitKat is lonely. Guess I'll just have to find a way to send her back to her room in the dark, recesses of my mind! 

I love y'all, big or small. <3 

PLEASE. Just because I came here, like, seven months ago (My first post was in October, but I never posted so it doesn't count) DOES NOT MEAN I'M A NEWBIE!!! I know the CB back and front, all the hacks, tricks, topping secrets, everything. Just because the older CBers don't know me doesn't mean I don't dedicate hours and hours of my time to the Chatterbox. Does not mean that I don't have many, many, CB friends. Does not mean I'm not listed as one of the "prominent" or "popular" CBers (I don't belive in it either, just saying). Does not mean I don't know how this place works. I don't use texting language. I care about grammar.

Lyra; *looks away, holding back pained tears*

Maple: Oh Brook. I understand.

Lyra: *mumbling* I don't…

Maple: you arnt even real, get out of here. 

Maple: it's your descision. Your making the right choice 

Brookeira, may I please still incorportate MP into my Ski Lodge, the Island Paradise Resort one? She's already in it, and I have plans for her.

Oh, that's sad. Baelfire was just starting to grow on me.

Also, I totally understand what you're getting at. I do agree that AEs can get very confusing, and there may seem like too many. (I know, because I drew all the AEs from the AE Crush thread) But I disagree about the 'only two' limit. I have three AEs; MewFour, 8-Piece, and Nougat. And when I created, I never did so because I wanted an AE simply because other people had one.

MewFour I made because I loved Pokemon, and really liked writing about vain characters. I thought he'd be fun to have, and fun to dole out his ego and boasts. 8-Piece I made because he seemed fun to draw, and to combat MewFour. Nougat because I needed somewhere to putput my puns, and share the lightest side of myself.

It's kind of hard to make an AE that will 'help the Chatterbox', in a sense. AEs are made because you want them to be made. If they particpate in things, cool. But I'm not quite sure what you're getting at by saying help the Chatterbox, though. If you could explain, please…

P.S. Also, on the AE War. MewFour is my AE, and he was on Fudimo's 'side'. I did participate inthe first part, when we were deciding whether it was an RP, or whatever. But when it desceneded ino arguments similar to the ones on the Political Thread, I stopped writing on it. It just turned into bickering and fighting, and that was not what it was made for.  

Now I feel horrible. I have three AEs. I don't really want to kill off any of them, because for each, I honestly took a really long time developing their personality and apperance before I introduced them. (Well, except Critic, but I took a lot of time later on to refine her.) I am not bothered about 3+ AEs if they are good, strong, developed characters (I put that before funny/insane), but the having of multiple AEs as the generic "insane" character who does nothing but, well, go insane is what pulls my strings.

A lot of what gets me about AEs is when they're so. . . SIMILAR. Whether to the creator's other AEs or to another existing one, I don't have a problem as long as each AE is a character and not just one of several pie-throwing blobs of inhuman insanity. This might be just me, though.

Am I. . . allowed. . . to keep all my AEs? I obviously know that everything on CB is 100% optional, and all rules, except for the Admins', are on an honor system with no actual enforcing. But, um, if it is nessecary I'll drop Hobbes from CB. I use my AEs purely because they amuse me, and I usually only take Critic or Mandy on Ski Lodges. If it's a problem, then they can go, but I would be pretty sad about it. They're kind of like. . . Annoying little siblings. Or twins. Or whatever. 

Anyway, I'm probably totally rambling at this point, so bye. 

I- I'm- FORBIDDEN?!?!?!?

Calm down Torstyn-

THIS IS BAD THIS IS BAD THIS IS VERY-

CALM YOURSELF AE!

VERY-

TORSTYN. CALM DOWN. 

BAAAAAAAADDDDD!!!!!

Ok, shutting AEs up now.

Brooke, I agree with you, but only in some aspects. Just FYI, I was not part of the first AE War when AEs exploded everywhere, or the second AE War that you mentioned. (I like to think, but I don't really know if it's true, that) My AEs and I were a big factor in the AE Crush War. I agree that it is very easy to let AEs get out of control. Having three AEs is a bit tricky.  However, I am ok with it. There was a point in time where I was going to retire PSXtreme in favor of Torstyn, and thus created the term -AEs, which was only ever used by PSXtreme and another AE who was going to be retired (I'm sorry, I can't remember who). As said before, having three AEs is a bit tricky. But IT IS POSSIBLE. I am living proof of that, so to speak. I'm afraid that whenever the CB decided to limit AEs to two per CBers, I was either not here, or uninformed. Soooo yeah. Done talking now, need to calm Torstyn down before he rediscovers his electric powers. 

(ZZZZZZZAAAAAPPPPPP) AHHHHH!!!! WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!

Oh no.  

Hey guys… Masky here. I'm not speaking in caps because for once in my life, I'm very serious.

I was going to say that I'm okay with people having 3+ AEs if they are all well developed, but I decided to make the criteria a little more complicated.

Have your AEs:

Made someone laugh?

Made someone smile?

Improved the atmosphere of the Chatterbox?

Were not created because you wanted an excuse to write in a certain way? (Just because you want to write an annoying/vain/rude/whatever character does not mean you should make them a permanent AE)?

Are not just one-dimensional copies of me?

Are well-developed?

If you answered no to any of these questions pertaining to one or more of your AEs, KILL THEM.

Welp, that was violent. Baelfire-chan?

Hi-h-hi guys. I love you all. Especially Lyra Iwillalwaysloveyoushhdon'ttell. MP and I will be back… someday. 

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE???????????

Now Abi's Æs are gone!!!!! Because of this stupid "only 2 Æs" rule!!!! 

@Booksy!

Oh, Merlin, I'm so sorry! 🙁 I didn't mean it that way! You're an amazing CBer who's nice, sweet, kind, and smart! I didn't…I really didn't!

I was just offended at the newbie comment.
