    sorry, this sounds meaner than i meant 😭 i just hate when i mention anything japan-related and people assume it’s based on anime? NO, i’m literally just japanese babe

    But, we didn't respond anywhere near the same time O.o
    i love when people make villains or morally grey characters who have like… that One super strong moral, like that one line they will not cross.

    I'd rather not. Psychic powers are a gosh darned curse.

    well you'd know better than me, being psychic and all /j
    my issue is trying to find rp partners for things AS SOON AS i finish it, instead of taking some time to develop an oc or even a good concept for it 😭 then i'm woefully unprepared, and i take so long that things die out

    This is why I only do RPs for, like, three fandoms, and they're all ones where I know all the important stuff like the back of my hand XD

    sevyn
    i'm like that with marvel, supernatural and maybe twilight. i stay ready with those three.

    Gotcha XD For me it's Zelda and Neptunia, with the third being semi-nebulous as generally being something I've played a lot of and have replayed recently (So games I only play occasionally like Planetside and Overwatch aren't included)
    my major issue with the “i can’t write starters” thing is that… like, when you’re starting a roleplay, it’s always best to begin from the perspective of whomever would have the most going on at the time of the starter. if character a is in the process of searching for character b for whatever reason, then would it not make more sense for the admin of character a to start at the point where their character finds character b? does that make sense? because if you start with the character who’s really Not doing much, then the starter is mostly going to be fluff and filler and would likely not have that great of a hook either.

    A lot of people actually consider that a sign of a bad group RP. The faster it goes the quicker it dies.
    sevyn
    sevyn
    mm sure, i guess i could see that. but i also often feel very awkward about group rps, especially ones where admins know one another already, it makes it difficult to seamlessly slide a character in without feeling like i'm forcing an interaction - plus... i feel like when it comes to the actual world building aspects, it's not as collaborative as a one on one experience would be, unless you're the one hosting it to begin with. hosting group rps is a whole other issue for me, that's something i'm absolutely never doing again 💀

    I pretty much exclusively host because I rarely find ideas that I personally want to join in with. Or I find something I might like but something seems extremely off about it. Kind of like how 1x1 players can't find something they like so they make their own search thread listing their interests.

    In regards to worldbuilding, I can see that. Most Group RPs definitely place more emphasis on the story than collaborative worldbuilding.
    i do write f x m but like. in a queer way
    sevyn
    sevyn
    my f x m pairings always have a distinctly queer aroma to them that i can’t explain, like u can just tell it’s two bisexual people
    sevyn
    sevyn
    this is me after writing up a new oc paired w sirius black
    trembling and foaming at the mouth as i barely refrain from sending out new requests.
    sevyn
    sevyn
    not as in i’m not happy with my current roleplays, but i want to at least get them in motion before i start collecting new ones… by the way, have i ever mentioned how much i fucking hate describing characters appearances? her eyes are eye shaped, she has hair, she’s pretty, what else do you want me to say?
    i hate making male ocs, but male names are so much cooler than girl names ☹️ hurts me to my core.

    Even then, if you're gonna have a character to pair up with another person's character, the reasonable thing to do would be to talk it out with them so you can make sure you're submitting a character who's actually compatible with them to the relationship. If not that, then the least you could do is make your character self-sufficient in some form or another. Being helpless in certain situations is fine, but there's a point where you start to question what they even bring to the table in the first place. Your character is a person. People have skills, even if none of them involve the ability to protect themselves from danger.

    I mean, if I wanted to spend all my time babysitting people through the entire length of a story, I'd just go and play Starcraft 1 XD

    Why do you always write so much about the most random things Lego, what's wrong with you >.<

    it’s almost worse to me when people tailor their oc too much to their intended love interest. anyway, if someone’s oc is constantly helpless and needing help, i’d usually just have my character react according to their personality. like some characters might be like “if you can’t pull your weight then get the fuck out of the way” — others might continue prioritizing their oc’s safety. the oc who’s constantly in trouble at least provides a challenge, while an oc tailored to the love interest is usually meant to complement them and causes a lack of friction.
    putting honey on my wounds to heal them faster makes me feel like… idk, an herbal witch from the dark ages who lives in a cottage or something

    sevyn
    idk what the dark ages are + honey isn’t an herb.
    the “he smelled like leather, cigarettes and black coffee” era was so sick… that combination is genuinely repulsive, don’t act like it’s sexy, alluring bad boy vibes

    Leather is good. ^33^ Eh on the coffee. But cigarettes are definitely a yuck.
    sevyn

    leather and coffee are okay separately, but the combination of those three things is foul.
    dacre montgomery has some exquisite lashes on him, who's his lash tech? hook me up rn
    after watching this scene, i get it, billy has a suuuper sad backstory, whatever. being abused doesn't justify becoming an abuser. he's just as bad as his father. having daddy issues doesn't make it okay that he's a racist, so regardless, i will never understand why some people find it so easy to justify what a fucked up person he is.

    Like someone I've heard say before, "That's an explanation, that is not an excuse!"

    Granted, it was about something dumb happening in Disney Star Wars XD But still!
    idk why people hate kali / 008, this arc is cool as hell so far! i’m a little disappointed knowing there won’t be much more of her. idk, maybe it gets worse later on
    Chordling
    Chordling
    I think it was more of the writing for me. Kali is an interest character concept but it felt like the script didn't allow her to be a better character. She felt a bit limited. Have you finished watching all of the released seasons yet? :)
    sevyn
    sevyn
    not yet! it’s actually taking me way longer than i expected to get through them. i’m on episode eight of season two. also, i kind of agree— they could’ve done better, but also since she didn’t get any more episode than that, we didn’t get to really see her full potential as a character.
    Chordling
    Chordling
    Enjoy the show! I think they sort of struggled to insert her and decided that they wanted to focus their energy on other plot elements. Though I do like the theory that 1+8+11=20 to represent a dodecagon in D&D.
    why is Y only a vowel sometimes? under what context is it a vowel?
    sevyn
    sevyn
    A E I O U and sometimes Y
    Kaerri
    Kaerri
    In English, when it's being used as a vowel (generally an "ee" sound as in baby, or "eye" sound as in cry). Best context clue I can offer is, if there's a syllable that doesn't have any other vowels in it, the y is probably being a vowel.

    THANK YOUUU, that makes sense actually 😭

    can we keep the hype around stranger things going for the next few days while i zoom through these 4 seasons rq
    sevyn
    sevyn
    I HATE WHEN I GET INTO SOMETHING JUST AS THE HYPE STARTS DYING, so now i have to stop watching hannibal so i can watch stranger things instead
    Onmyoji
    Onmyoji
    I can relate in a way. Just have a tendency to get into things a few years after the hype died 😅
    sevyn
    sevyn
    dude, same 💀 i mean, the fact that i’m just getting into hannibal is a testament to that. i’m grateful for the hype surrounding stranger things right now — i’ve been meaning to watch it for months now, and if i end up wanting to roleplay it, i shouldn’t have too much trouble finding a partner!
    not at anyone in particular, but isn’t it a bit strange that some people will go on and on about how roleplay is a coping mechanism, a form of escapism even, and then get upset at people who write characters with darker traits, or plots surrounding dark themes? my brother in christ, that is the coping part!
    Kaerri
    Kaerri
    If they mention escapism, maybe that's how they cope? (i.e. avoiding the dark for a while instead of immersing in it) Coping, like therapy, looks different for each individual. Mind you, I don't think they should get upset either way.
    sevyn
    sevyn
    yeah, that's literally what the post says
    it HURTS me to realise that the symbolism and heavy research i put into my writing might not always be received or analysed the same way by the receiver, but i also can’t over-explain it because not only does it ruin the flow, but i also don’t want to ruin the chance for them to build their own interpretation, arguably one of the most appealing aspects of collaboration with other writers </3

    what do you mean you didn’t catch the meaning of red carnations in this scene? what do you MEAN you don’t understand the significance of it being a new moon? i’m hyperventilating, my eyes are twitching rn /lh

    but fr, i’m def not saying it like “ohhh my writing is so superior that my plebian readers simply cannot grasp the blah blah blah” 😭 nor am i saying that i want my writing to only be interpreted one way, the way i meant it as i was writing. i just think it’s so goofy that i spend forever researching shit like “what phase was the moon in during october 18th of 1993” or smth, when it’s one of those details that’s so minuscule that i probably wouldn’t have noticed it if i hadn’t written it myself
