The reason it will be a long time until I join a group RP (or at least a large one) is because I enjoy making characters and seeing other peoples characters more than I do dealing with the chaos that is a lot of people posting in one thread.
Also the fact that I enjoy really long posts (1000-ish words) and do not post often (once a week) but those are different issues entirely.
When done well, one of my favorite things to do in RPs is for you to describe your character and then I describe your character but from my eyes. It's adds perspective and often is very different
For example, I was once playing this tall noble dude (tall, dark, and handsome of course) but my partner looked at my face claim and had her character respond describe him as cute but with spider like limbs! It was great!
I only get to have 8 hours worth of REAL alone time a week when my roommate goes to work. But this week I didn't even get half of that because of the holiday. I like my roommate, I do, but I need way more solitude than what I am getting.
There was a chance of her sleeping over at someones house tonight (which would have been the first time ever) but because of shitty weather I may not get that either.
Doing a project in Anthropology where a different student (stranger) will study an aspect of your culture first hand. The problem? I have no life, I sit in my room and do homework all the time, and I have no friends either. A possible solution? I talk about this site but dear god I do not want to show someone I don't know the RPs I do and the site I do it on. Its embarrassing but I have nothing else.
I cannot handle getting bad grades on essays. It's the one thing I let myself think that I am good at and if teachers start giving me bad grades for them I am going to break. I know writing skill is not the only factor when it comes to grades but getting a bad score means I did bad at everything
It's even worse when my roommate, not a good writer at all, may have gotten a better grade than me. I can't help comparing
The joy of school... you can work your ass off all year but when your grades come down nearly completely to an exam or essay, it doesn't mean shit. My grades are not even that bad but I know that for all the work I put in I should have better.
What did I learn today at Declare a Major Day? Not what majors I'm interested in, that's for sure!
No, what I learned was that I am a much weaker person when I have companionship. I talk less, am less likely to take even low risks, I'm less assertive, I don't make as much of an impression, etc etc. It's not (always) that I rely on them either, it's more like I'm hyper aware that I am not alone and getting observed
The world has yet to realize that if you make me use realistic face claims in a setting that has fantasy, I can almost guarantee that I am going to go get a cosplay image because even if I am playing a human, it was way to hard to find a magical (or medieval) looking face claim among all the shirtless, personalty lacking guys google gives me.
Here is a problem has caused multiple issues with new partners. When I say I like dark topics there is a line that I draw between dark violence and dark depressing.
For example, I am okay with stalkers, obsession, and anger issues. However, I do not find it fun to play against suicide, cutting, and teen pregnancy characters.
Is there a better word to describe what I like rather than the word 'dark'?
If I started a new RP, I don't even know what I would want to do. It's a strange mix of having too many ideas but not having anything even remotely set in stone.
As cliche as it is, I am determined to one day have a successful school RP. I love that setting and I fully believe that it can work long term and be original if you get the right partner. Same deal with the seven deadly sins, my number one favorite trope.
Of course the week I have about 2/3 papers to write is the week I feel like being creative/write. If I didn't know I would regret it within two days, I would look for partners....
It's such a small thing, but I rarely ever write stories (I barely RP either) but today I wrote 3 pages and would probably do more if I did not have to go to bed for school tomorrow. I'm not a big fan of what I wrote but I am glad that I did it anyway. Better to write lame fan fiction than nothing!
I don't care how many times I do it, I adore making stories/Rps centered around the seven deadly sins. It is my favorite trope and nothing will change that.
I normally try to keep offline drama to myself, but hey, no one is awake where I am so this is the only place I have to vent. Oh well! I won't make a habit of it!
Well... today sucked. I was in a bad mood for various reasons and my only friend/roommate does not even have the decency and/or ability to notice. I did things today that I have never done in the months that I have known her. Not even a simple, "Hey, are you okay?" or even a goodnight as we usually do. I was ignored.
I am pissed off honestly. Unfortunately, I am unable to hold a grudge for even 24 hours...
Is there a way to filter threads so that they always show newly created threads first? Not new posts, but entire threads that were created today or yesterday.
I have played around with it for the 1x1 search and the roleplay discussion areas but so far I have had no luck...
