If I could use stronger language and be more direct, you bet your sweet ass I will. But since I can't; I'll just be blunt and direct.

Your application is a low effort shitpost an Autistic baby with down syndrome would make if they didn't know any better. I see no reason as to why it should be given any acceptable, legitimate praise other than to prove to people you have severely low standards. I see no reason as why this poor excuse for dogshit should be accepted other than to show we're a hugbox server that will even reward children that don't even know what constructive criticism is. I didn't bother reading your worthless garbage because acknowledging it as any form of literary work would be giving it some value.

I don't give a damn how long this took you. I don't care how long ago you wrote this and where you conceived the idea from; because it's as bad as what you'd see in a Frank Miller comic.
Took five minutes, not including the short story which also took about five minutes.

Jesus Fucking Christ, my son, not everything is a meme. Point out this supposed meme in my application, I dare you, I double dare you.

I don't use memes, except for 'He-Man sings', because that's gold.

Memes are for the weak.

"Memeing"? Is this just a term you bandy around because you don't know the words to describe a thing or an act?

Let me give you some examples of memes.

Longcat is looooong.

Never Milhouse.

If I see that cat one more time..

Never gonna give you up.

These are memes, my son. These.... these are from the GOLDEN AGE of memes, infact.

My theory is you're just shit talking to piling on the negativity. In reality, you don't know me or have seen me on the server at all. It's a big server, there's alot of people. The chances of us actually interacting on multiple occasions are slim.

I think you're just a bandwagon hopper, a train rider. Someone who is such a fish you'll swim in any stream you see.

Yes, but as I've said, I haven't read any of the other apps. So this isn't a meme passed on from those other apps,

This is just "me".

Much obliged. If you haven't read Lovecraft, I would heartily recommend it to you as it inspired every aspect of that bit of writing.

I was simply so inspired by Lovecraft I attempted to imitate his mode of writing as much as possible.

But wait it doesn't stop there the behavior system could be learned from real life, that would still fit the bill in it's barest form. The idea of half adding something so poorly also occurs in real life.

Fine. You got me. This was all a joke. Of course I would write a serious predator fanfic. Of course I would. Here it is:

"He was the big jungle man, running through the jungle with his scary and scaly face. His backpack was full of knives, knives he used to prey upon people. But he was not prey, he was the predator. The predator of the jungle.

Dr. Antonio Banderas knew about the Jungleman. He knew, because he had seen it. With his own two eyes. While filming the fifth Spykids sequel, he had seen the jungleman, and it scared him. "So many knives," Antonio Banderas said, "I do not believe my eyes... Except that... I saw it with m own two eyes."

Plunging deep into the Jungle, Antonio Banderas thrust his way through the thick and steamy foliage, the beads of sweat upon his face mirroring the water droplets leaking from the canopy roof. Antonio Banderas had to find the Jungleman. Because he realized... that he loved him.

BUT IT COULD NOT BE, FOR THE JUNGLEMAN HAD SET A TRAP. "AGHHHH" screamed Antiono Pandabears. The trapa hada caughta him in da leg!

And then the Jungleman appeared, his chest glistening in the setting jungle sun, his physique well honed, his muscles like rippling waves of meat, flexing and swirling around and dancing like a plethora of fairy wings.

Antonio Banderas moaned in pain... or... was it pleasure??? The Jungleman grimaced with his spooky face that was all... open and stuff... and snarling. AND THE JUNGLEMAN ROAAAREED

"RAWRWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWAR" SCREAMED THE JUNGLE MAN.

"AGHHHH" SQUEELED ANTONIO BANDERAS.

And that was the last Spykids movie that was ever made...............

As if writing a predator fanfic has any relation to actual in-game performance.
While writing a story might not directly have anything to do with how good you are at the game, usually it at least shows that you understand the lore behind predators. If you can't be bothered to write a shot story about your predator, how do we know you can be bothered to read up on predators at all? How do we know you won't be running around, inadvertently breaking the lore?

Denied. Your biography spends its entirety attempting to be an edgy Lovecraft fanfiction rather than tell us anything about your character, or what type of RP you would bring with that character. While initially, I thought this had been an ill-thought application; your replies make this legitimately one of the worst applications I've seen yet.

I will give my critique of your writing nonetheless.

While I recognize that it would appear you are an avid reader of Lovecraft like I am, aside from missing the point of the backstory entirely, you have also failed to encapsulate Lovecraft's style properly. The start of your story is reminiscent of the beginning of The Dunwich Horror in a sense, starting with the end and then doubling back to the start of your story. However, where Lovecraft spends time introducing the town of Dunwich, Massachusetts to the reader, you briefly mention yours to be ancient, tell of the characters' deaths and immediately double back to when they were alive without a proper transition. Formatting like this is jarring to anyone reading the story. You do not take any steps to draw interest in your setting as Lovecraft does, nor are your characters elaborated on in any meaningful way past their names.

Moving on to your proofreading of the story and use of grammar, several spelling mistakes are present that could have been caught with a short application of spell-checking, and over a dozen grammatical and punctuation errors combined. You have a tendency towards wordiness in your sentences, causing the main subject of the sentence to become muddled and unclear. With many of these wordy sentences, you also have a high tendency to use the passive voice in several places instead of the more explicit "someone does something" sentence structure.

If you're going to carry on like you have some sort of high horse to sit on because you read good literature and want to mimic it, you'll find yourself sadly mistaken. Should you attempt to re-apply for this, or any whitelist in the future, I am going to recommend you rectify your attitude problem first.
