MACRO: His Name is Ted Mosby, Sex Architect

[promethia_tenk]

Title: His Name is Ted Mosby, Sex Architect (macro)
Authors/Creators: promethia_tenk  (concept/words) and roland44  (layout/images), with some cross-collaboration
Fandom: HIMYM, Ted
Rating/Warnings: R for language like, WOAH, and for adult concepts.  Spoilers for the season finale.
Disclaimer: HIMYM is not mine
Notes: So, in my new obsession with Star Trek, I ran across these hilarious character macros (words/images) (warnings: cursing and spoilers for the new ST movie) over at ontd_startrek  .  Now, the HIMYM community does not seem to be into macros, but I realized that our beloved HIMYM cast MUST HAVE A PIECE OF THIS ACTION.  So, I wrote up one for our favorite hopeless romantic and conned roland44  into making it into a pretty picture for me because I lack image skillz.  Mad love to Roland for getting on board and for improving on everything I did and for making this happen.

I am scared.

And weirdly impressed.

Seriously, I have no idea what is going on but you really made me laugh!

What are *macros*???

[promethia_tenk]

IT'S GONNA BE A FUCKING THING, BITCHES!!!

Macros are just pictures with words superimposed (like lolcats). Most of them are really simple with just a few words, but the people over at the Star Trek comm seem to have evolved them into this massive, expletive-laden celebration of these characters. Like, seriously, scroll down and read the Uhura one: http://community.livejournal.com/ontd_startrek/59233.html

So, obviously we need some of these for all the sexxxor GQ motherfuckers on HIMYM.

Also, it's really oddly addictive to do so much gratuitous cursing. I've been doing it in my head all day: STANDING IN THE LINE AT FUCKING IKEA, BITCHES, SO ALL YOU PUNK-ASS MOTHERFUCKERS BETTER RESPECT!!!!

BITCHES, GET OUTTA MY GIRL PROMETHIA'S WAY BEFORE I KICK YOUR PATHETIC ARSES HALFWAY TO VULCAN AND YOU TURDS LAND BACK ON EARTH AND FORM A HUGEASS CRATER IN MOTHERFUCKING IOWA!

[promethia_tenk]

FO, SHIZZLE, RIGHT? WTFUCK, HUSSIES, BEING ALL AT IKEA BEFORE I CAN EVEN GET OUTTA BED. SHIT, DUDE, I NEED MY FUCKING BEAUTY REST, AND ALL YOU PUNK-ASS NERF-HERDERS WHO BE GETTIN IN LINE BEFORE ME AND TAKING ALL THE FUCKING GOOD POANG CHAIRS BEFORE ME CAN ALL JUST BACK THAT SHIT UP OR ROLAND BE MESSING YOU UP HARD CORE TREK-STYLE. DAMN.

I'm sorry, but I must insist that you bump this.

Never leave a motherfucking GQ Bro hanging...

*awesome-tremor-inducing fist-bump*

[idioticonion.livejournal.com]

Ah, I get it. Still scared, but it's funny!

[promethia_tenk]

This is no time to be scared, woman. You know you want to make one *eyebrow waggle*

I'm English. I'm not sure I can bring myself to swear quite that much. Even Fuck Yeah NPH makes me blush.

[roland44.livejournal.com]

WE NEED YOU if we have any hope whatsoever to do one for Barnaby Stinson. you have his motherfucking intense angsty shizz DOWN. And I learned to swear shamelessly from watching a British TV show, FYI.

[idioticonion.livejournal.com]

HEHE! MOTHERFUCKING INTENSE ANGSTY SHIZZ 4 THE FUCKING WIN!!!!

Okay, I'm getting the idea. How can I help?

(which TV show bthedub?)

READ THE REST OF THE STAR TREK GQ MOTHERFUCKERS' MACROS AND YOU WILL "LIVE" THE FREAKING IDEA.
You can just write down your stream-of-cursing-consciousness thoughts on how you would introduce a total HIMYM noob to Barney Stinson. Add GQ pics, in NPH's case he does already have ACTUAL GQ pics. Definition of a GQ Motherfucker is obviously a guy who's so freaking hot he should be/is in GQ. Pick cool fonts, add in sizes and colors and you have a full macro. If you want, just email me some text and we'll see what we can do between you, me and miss tenk. ;)

Yay! And, yes, any help I can give, I will. The language gets easier once you start going.

The key is that you do have to be absolutely genuine in the things you are raving about. This was tricky to work with for Ted, because a lot of the things he does are really kind of pathetic. I think this is somewhat easier to do with the Star Trek characters because they all really are badasses to begin with, and the humor is just in the way you talk about them. I want to do another, more general one for Ted and am having a hard time figuring out how to talk about the fact that he is *hilarious* when he's sad and drunk.

And I had a hard time convincing Roland that we could label Ted as a GQ motherfucker. Obviously we needed the pics of him in a suit jacket, because the t-shirts were just not going to do it.

Do you have any idea how much I curse in real life? Like, none. My parents were super-strict about such things growing up and *never* cursed themselves and it always seemed really stupid to me besides. Like, people didn't have the vocabulary to say what they really wanted to so they just put in expletives instead. And all of that has held over for me today. I have to force myself to say "ass." I wince a little inside when I do it.

But this is . . . oddly liberating. You read enough of them and something about the rhythm of it clicks. And it's just so obviously over the top and inappropriate that I have to love it. It's like writing parody obscene poetry.
