#creative types

I am a magician. A wizard, of sorts. Perhaps you are too. Perhaps like me you are a creator of the physical. Of things that can be held. I call it magic, what we do. Turning ideas into physical objects, turning the ethereal into something concrete. To us it is simply something we do, but it deserves more respect than simple acknowledgement.

We join materials. Wood, paper, iron or steel, cloth and wool. Our hands weave shapes from their supple forms, spinning figures out of the air and into reality. We pluck and pick and thread with our tools, our instruments giving rise to bodies or scenes or buildings. Under our hands dreams are given life.

I imagine magic to be much the same. A form of unity between technical understanding, will power and art. It is this combination of attributes that makes our work so wondrous and remarkable. We understand our materials behaviours and properties, the strengths and limits of our tools, ourselves even. We have such phenomenal strength of will, to take the matter of our surroundings and impart our own vision upon it until it echoes our intentions. We are artists, it is simply the nature of us.

Hi lovesies, I kinda had an idea, after taking this test I found on @matstegen blog, about Creative Types.

So, I found out that, out of the eight possible creative personalities, I'm a thinker (the description totally suits me, btw lol). And I thought "How cool would it be if among my lovely mutuals I could find the other seven personalities that match and complete mine?"

So here I am, starting this 'tag game'...

Rules:

Take the test

Reblog this post with what type you got

Tag 7 mutuals to do the same!

Let's find our matches people!

I'm tagging: @sweetgcreature @its-a-metephor-brian @bohemiandelilah @gottabecool-relax @instantezra @radio-ha-ha @littledarlingwellaway cause they are my squad, but if you want to try and do this, you're more than welcome!

5 Types of Role Players Everybody Hates

For this post I decided to do something a little different and vent about the scourges of online role playing-not full on DnD but rather the stuff you do by text or in chat rooms. Now don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of awesome role players out there... but if you’ve tried any role playing before, you know that for every good one there are two bad ones-maybe even more. Obviously these are generalizations and not all characters fit neatly into one category; many fit in multiple. Some characters can even be good in some ways but awful in others... but without any further ado, let’s get into it!

THE CREEPYPASTA MARY SUE

They’re everywhere. They have hot topic written all over them and they have to be darker than every other edgelord in the room, which can lead to some pretty amusing (and cringeworthy) results. Now I’m all for a little edge-heck, a lot of edge-but these role players take it WAY too far. Their characters have been abandoned and abused, bullied by everyone, never known what love or friendship is-they swear they don’t know how to smile. Perhaps their surname is “the killer”. Their weapons? Chainsaws, knives, maybe the occasional gun-all bloodstained, of course. The dedicated may even eat human flesh for kicks. The weirdest thing about these characters is that they try to be as loathsome as possible and still wonder why they don’t have the awe and respect of everyone else in the room. Maybe killing a couple more NPCs (or even other players) in a fit of insanity will get their message across.

THE UWU

The reputation of these characters is infamous, but apparently no one playing these types got the memo. It may be the polar opposite of the Creepypasta Mary Sue, but that won’t stop half of them from being BOTH. These players will whine and whimper and cry alone in corners until someone showers them with the attention they’re soliciting so desperately. Unlike the former, however, instead of wearing their depression all over their faces they pretend to be sunshine and rainbows for a full ten minutes BEFORE they dump their tragic past on everyone. They, too, were abandoned, abused, bullied, etc. Some of them are weak as heck and need their love triangle to protect them; others have secret op magic abilities that make them the center of the universe. In place of grammar and punctuation, they add “uwu”, “owo”, or some other variation to every other dialogue bubble. And don’t forget their trademark *blushes and turns away*.

THE ONE TURN KILL

Oh, boy. These are the characters who play god by killing your character in one chat bubble. They have all the superpowers they feel like making up as they go and they flex those powers every chance they get. You think your character’s strong? Well, they’ll throw a useless comparison or deus ex at you real quick. “No, my character’s ten times as strong as yours!” “No, I dodged that before you could hit me.” “No, my character isn’t even trying right now. They’re bored of how weak everyone else is no one even gives them a challenge-” you get the idea. And if you want to introduce a villain to the story, don’t bother-they’ll kill them in one hit too without even blinking. But it’s not enough to be the self-acclaimed strongest of all time--they won’t stop flexing until everyone else admits it too. Which is never.

THE CREEP

Here’s where any story can take a quick turn for the worst. These are the characters that are not only creepy-they get to control everyone else’s characters to cater to their sick desires! Kind of like the One Turn Killers, but... more perverse. The mild ones type about how your character secretly has a crush on them. The ones in the middle of the spectrum will make advances, verbally or physically. The extreme ones... well, we don’t talk about the extreme ones. (This is starting to sound dismally close to real life...) The worst case scenario is when you’re stuck with them in a group role play cause you can’t just ignore them and move on. If you’re invested enough in the story or the other players to stick with the group, they’ll be there too, ruining everything. Unlike the other types on this list there’s nothing that can save a creep. They’re just a drag on the whole game.

THE CHAT KILLER

This is less in character and more outside the game. These players hardly interact with the story at all and just spam memes and say “chat’s dead” “chat’s dead” until they make it annoying enough that it eventually comes true. Some of them are trolls, others are just trying to make small talk... but either way it kills the atmosphere, if not literally the role play itself.
