Realistic or Modern OOC: Santa Monica Home for Boys and Girls [Reboot!]

[Edric Blight]

Like, I just feel I could have done better for such a big moment ya know? That post could have been written a lot better. I really do hope it gets the job done well enough.

 

[Edric Blight]

I always try to sit down and make some time to put the most effort I can into these posts, so I kinda am disappointed with the short comings of this last post here by me.

 

[KaiMedia]

Yea that's what I feared. I think I got a little too rambly and repetitive a few times during that post, so apologies for that. Probably due to the fact I like stopped writing it like 3 times cuz I got distracted by stuff. Sorry.

And yea, we all knew that but still, poor Asher. I just think Jack is all discombobulated now. He doesn't even know what to think or say or how to react haha. Poor kids.

Its okay dude its still perfectly readable and I enjoyed it sometimes you are going to make posts that your not the happiest with but thats fine it happens. Its still a perfectly fine post.

Also yeah this sucks for both of them really jack just getting kissed out of nowhere by his friend. Asher getting rejected and frantically yelled at by his crush poor boys.

Also is it bad that even tho I know Jack isn’t into guys a part of me in the back of my head is just like hoping that they will be together. Like obviously thats not going to happen and i know and expect that but I can still hear the shouting in the back of my head lol

 

[KaiMedia]

also honestly the parts that I felt maybe rambled a little were earlier in the post... the like really big moment seemed fine to me. You did good dont worry. Was the post perfect no but did it stop me from thoroughly enjoying the post also no

 

[Edric Blight]

Ok good good, I'm glad you liked it and it was readable. As long as it accomplished its main goal, I am satisfied. Thanks for your honest words Kai.

And yea, these too poor boys. What an awkward experience for Jack, and a heartbreaking one for Asher.

And no dude lmao LIKE LITERALLY ME TOO! As like a human outside of the RP, why am I like I WANT ASHER AND JACK TO BE TOGETHER LOL. It's funny that I play Jack yet I too want them to be together haha. So no, it's not bad that you're thinking that lol. I'm literally doing that same exact shouting in the back of my head too.

Good point. And good, I'm glad the big moment was done well by me. That's the part that truly counted.

 

[Edric Blight]

It's funny because I feel so bad for Asher since now he's gonna learn and have it be confirmed that Jack doesn't like boys, but on the outsider as someone who is bisexual, I like wish the two could be together ahaha. I totally understand why you're like screaming in the back of your head about this lmao. Me too bro

 

[Edric Blight]

But of course, you and I both know it won't happen lol

 

[KaiMedia]

Okay good just wanted to make sure lol cause im just sitting there like man I really wish it could work out for them. Like yelling in the back of my head like i do when like reading a book or something but this time I already know the outcome and im still doing it

 

[Edric Blight]

Ahaha me too, I definitely am feeling what ur feeling rn. I wish in a perfect world it could work out for them, but of course this isn't a perfect world. Plus this creates some fun painful but realistic drama in the RP to spice it up and I'm all for it.

And yes I totally know what you mean bro haha.

 

[KaiMedia]

But of course, you and I both know it won't happen lol

Yeah sadly... tho you are Jack’s writer technically you could change it. Lol im joking i swear... while yes that voice in my head wants it to work out and I wouldn’t hate if you wanted to change it no i don’t want you to you made Jack who he is and thats just how it is... we knew how this would turn out no matter how sad it makes me for Asher

 

[Edric Blight]

Yes of course, I technically could hahaha, but I'm not gonna make it unrealistic and totally flip Jack's character around, although I do know you're joking in that regard lol.

And yea exactly, we knew this was gonna happen, and that's just the way Jack swings and how I wrote him out to be. He's straight, and that's totally ok! I used to be straight, so I based that part of him on how I was for most of my life.

But yea as an outsider stepping away from the role of writing Jack, I feel bad for Ash and wish it could work out between the two of them lol. We've created such a bond with these characters lmao, they aren't even real but I refuse to believe that!

 

[KaiMedia]

Yeah no i love jack and would never actually want you to change him just to spare the feelings of my character. Besides like you said it adds a bit of realistic drama to things that will be interesting to see play out.

But yeah it sucks when you look at it from the outside.

 

[Edric Blight]

Yea haha dw I know. I appreciate that. And yea, it's just a little dose of the real life reality for so many kids, certainly one I think some of us are all too familiar with.

But I totally agree. As an outsider: just oof man....

 

[KaiMedia]

Oh before I forget Liam is well having a bit of an identity crisis right now so until we figure everything out we are going to start with not using gendered terms in reference to Liam. We are just going to see how that goes for now.

So yeah just a heads up

 

[Edric Blight]

Oh man, sorry about all that. I'm sorry he's having a little panic attack right now.

Also I just realized, he probably thinks I'm an asshole, I've been calling him "man" or "little man" all this time. I feel like an ass I'm so sorry. I'll try and remember next time.

 

[Edric Blight]

shit now I feel bad, I probably contributed to this by saying "man" all this time without thinking anything of it

 

[KaiMedia]

Oh man, sorry about all that. I'm sorry he's having a little panic attack right now.

Also I just realized, he probably thinks I'm an asshole, I've been calling him "man" or "little man" all this time. I feel like an ass I'm so sorry. I'll try and remember next time.

First it not your fault you had no clue none of us did until liam just broke down on here to Dawn. If anyone on here should have know its me i am liams dad after all.

Yeah we talked for a while and Liam is just really confused and trying to work through all of this so we all just decided that while we try and figure this out we just wont use gendered terms.

But seriously dont beat yourself up about it Liam isn’t upset with anyone they know that its not your or anyone elses fault that they didn’t know about the issue.

 

[Edric Blight]

Ok got it, but I still can't help but feel a bit guilty knowing I contributed to being one of those people calling him "Boy" and "man." :/ I hope he knows I'm sorry, I certainly didn't mean to hurt him or make him feel this way.

 

[KaiMedia]

Also Dont worry Liam is doing a lot better know after we talked things through. We know it will still be a bumpy road and its going to take time to figure stuff out but liam went to bed feeling a lot better and far more comfortable with things.

Seriously though Liam holds nothing against you. And wanted me to tell you guys about this so you knew already when you talk to them tomorrow

 

[Edric Blight]

Ok good, I really really REALLY hope I didn't cause anything here bad with Liam. I don't want to hurt Liam in anyway or make them feel uncomfortable at all.

 

[KaiMedia]

I mean i get feeling bad i do too if im honest i just wish i had know before hand. Also i dont know if it will help you feel a little better or not but it didnt always upset Liam to be called a boy just some of the time. Right now things seem to be leaning towards gender fluid but who knows plus we dont want to just shove Liam into a box

 

[Edric Blight]

Ok got it. As long they weren't like distraught over me using "he" and "him" and "man" and "boy." Wish I could take it back now. :/

 

[KaiMedia]

Liam is only really upset that they didn’t talk to me and my husband earlier so we could have started dealing with it sooner.
Trust me I get why you feel the way you do though but we have to remember that we didn’t know and if we did we would have mDe the change sooner. There is just no way we could have known

 

[Edric Blight]

Alright very true. You're right, I mean I really had 0 way of knowing. I really hope Liam isn't too mad about it tho, I never knew calling them these masculine things was uncomfortable for them
