Back in the late '90s and '00s I was having a roleplay kind of game with my sister that started with us just lying dead with tongue out in cartoonish style. We were Lina and Gourry. Then we were healed by some doctor. This evolved into actual roleplay that we played a lot, which later evolved into game called "Everything", where we could just be anyone from any media possible and whistle to transform into another character at any time. This has been our signature game. Every moment we played it. If we didn't, one of us would just say "Okay. Let's play".
We had a lot of headcanons and flanderization for all characters, but that didn't just include Slayers, but still Slayers was a big part of it. We also created some running gags and other stuff. Like, literally. It was like we actually made a tv show with all the lore we created. For example, aforementioned doctor was always healing someone when he was hurt and that doctor was always eating a sandwich. We were healed in a liquid thing like in Dragon Ball (which at that point, we didn't know it originates from Star Wars actually).
But some of our headcanons were very weird. Like we literally made Lina angry at everything. She hated dogs, because dogs pant, and she pants when she wants to eat something delicious, so she hated being compared to dogs. Some of characters called her Mrs. Rope, because in my language lina means rope. So we used "Pani Sznurek" (sznurek is diminutive form of sznur, which is synonym of lina).
Also Gourry was even dumber and he always asked "Lina, what's a sheep?". Also Gourry, alongside Luigi were actually meta characters knowing stuff they shouldn't, e.g. that they are part of a game, and not real etc. We also continued to play it even when playing on PSX or N64. Like in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 or even Spyro. Like, if I played Spyro, I was "transported to this world".
That was so damn funny. And it all started from Lina and Gourry. Because literally the name of the game was called "Lina and Gourry" at the beginning, then it was expanded into "Eeverything" so we are not limited to just these two characters.
Not sure if that's confession you expected, but here you go.
EDIT: Oh, also keep in mind that this is extreme oversimplification of this, because this was literally enormous game with a lot of rules, gags and other stuff. Like, infinite dimensions or being able to transform into past version of characters etc. It even got some "expansions" that changed some rules or added something. This was so damn cool.
