Whhhhhyyyy? Why would you do this to me? Do you know how much I talk?!?! And then first I have to do math to figure this out, and then do you know how many questions that is?Ā
6. Whatās something about your character that you wouldnāt like if you had to spend time with them?
I think that, Luise and I are enough alike that if we spent a lot of time together, we would just run each other crazy in general. I think her pickiness about how to do things, or how to get things done would get on my nerves simply because I also have my ways I like to do things and to get them done. And the thing is, Iām sure that neither way would be bad, and both would have logic to them, but we both would think that our way was a little better and that would be the way that we would want to do it.
I think that would drive meāand herāup the wall!
Well, to start out, it was because I was curious. I had just made an askblog, and I saw all those really neat starters going around and I wanted to do them too, but I couldnāt figure out how I would do that with a gif. So I looked closer and found out that people were writing with each other when they got them. So after some consideration, I decided to try it as well.
It was like an instant click, the thing I had been missing and looking for. See, not long before this I had been writing with three other friends. We actually wrote a novel together, and were working on the second one when we had a bit of a falling out, writing wise. Weāre all still friends, thank goodness, but writing together just wasnāt going to work anymore.Ā
But I had gotten used to writing 1000+ words every few days, and talking out ideas, and plots and all sorts of stuff with them and when I started rping again, I realized that that was what I had been missing, thatās what felt like it was lost, the writing. And so rping filled that space of that desire to write again. And I absolutely love it.
18. Whatās your favorite thing about rping an original character?
Well, Iāve never actually rped an original character. But I did create one for that novel my friends and I wrote, and we wrote it round robin style. I enjoyed being able to create her just like I wanted. To take my character and throw in interests and ideas, and thought processes, to be able to create this whole new person and move her from shallowness to a lot of depth. I loved that. It was great.
(omg, IāmĀ nostalgicĀ for that now. Wanna go find it and look through the ideas and cry thatĀ theyāll never get done omg. Such plansā¦such plansā¦)
24. Whatās your favorite AU?
I gotta admit, I love pregnancy AUs. The build up, the preparation, the expectationā¦I love them. I love seeing how the characters react, how they treat my pregnant muse, how they adaptā¦I just love that kind of thing!
30. What do you like about roleplaying fluff?
The cute and the sweet. Iāll be the first to admit, I love my angst. I do. I love tearing characters to bits! But too much of that isnāt a good thingāit kinda brings you and your thoughts down after a while. So I love the fluff too. I love the sweet moments between characters, the cute moments that just show how they care. I love the healing fluff moments can bring after angst. I love how positive fluff can be. Thatās needed, you know? The positive is needed.
36. Do you ever read rp threads you arenāt involved in? What type of thread does it usually have to be to interest you?
To be honest, no, I donāt. I used to try to, but two things happened. Most of them would turn into smut at some point. And I am not comfortable with smut. It makes me feel gross, icky, wrong on the inside. The idea of sex doesnāt, but reading it, seeing it, or watching it, it does. And so the threads would devolve into smut and Iād either feel like that because I wanted to see what happened and ended up reading part of the smut, or Iād have to drop the thread all together because the smut would come up again and again.Ā
And then, because that happened with so many of them, I gave up on reading other threads. It was hard to find one that didnāt turn into smut, and in the process of trying to find one, Iād accidentally end up reading some of the smut on my dash because I was trying to find a thread to read. It honestly ended up not being worth it.
As far as what type of thread would interest me, it would have to be smut-free, Iām not big on romance in general, tbh, and it would have to have good characterization. Plots Iām pretty open to, butā¦the rest is the kicker, really.
42. Do you like to answer open starters?
Sometimes. They have to catch my interest, though, and be with someone I want to rp with. But I know that if more than one person replies it can be hard for the other rper to keep up with, so itās a lot easier to loose the thread. I gotta really be intrigued to answer an open one.
48. Do you prefer gifs or icons when roleplaying? Or no FC at all?
Iām honestly not that big on them. Yeah, icons can be fun, but sometimes I feel they take away from the writing, and the writing is what I love the best. I donāt mind doing them sometimes, and if the writing and the icons enhance each other, then Iām good with it, but on the whole I can do just as well without them.
Besides, I have mixed feelings on FCs. If the FC is animated or some sort of art, then Iām cool with it. Itās hard to control what people do with characters anyway. But FCs that are real people is just not something I, personally, would be comfortable doing because, even if theyāre famous, itās still their face. Itās their face on this piece of writing and, well, is that something that they would be comfortable with? Itās not a caricatureĀ of them as a role, itās not them agreeing to play that role that way. Itās someone using their actual face for writing, and some of that writing can be pretty, ah, intense...
I know that if I were famous, I would not be comfortable with that. So Iāll stay away from FC that are actual people, whether Iām rping a character they played or not.
54. Whatās a trope or plot you love but youāve never gotten to roleplay or never gotten to roleplay in completion?
I hardly ever get to play pregnancy or hurt/comfort ones to completion! Like, they always peter off and Iām sitting here goingĀ āOh...okay...I wanted to see how they supported each other and healed from that/how they went through the pregnancy and greeted the new baby and adjusted but...okay. Guess weāre dropping that one...ā and omg, I just wanna play them all the way through! I get left hanging and then I sit there with ideas swirling around my head, wanting to write on it. Sometimes I do, just to get it out of my system, tbh.
60. Whoās a roleplayer (or writer) you think you have learned a lot from?
Oh, gosh, I have no idea. I mean, I pick up bits and pieces from everyone. I learn a little something from this rper, and a little something from that one, and then I see this idea from one over here, and the one over there does that interestingly, and--I donāt really have one particular one. If Iāve written with you, then Iāve learned something from you. Thatās just how it goes. I learn from everywhere, and I just canāt narrow down who Iāve learned things from the most.
There! I did it! It took me a while, but I did it!*cough*thankyou*cough*
