Me right now:

Trust me. It deals with this lovely state the muse portrays.

So, I was in the History Club meeting (which really should be called "Four Nerds Hanging Out For an Hour"), and we, after talking about The Walking Dead, was discussing about Virginia.  Two of the members are from NOVA, one is from the Tidewater, and I a technically considered part of South Central/ Piedmont. Therefore, when we had to state the greatest and best thing out area could provide, here is what we said.

The NOVA Guys: Money!

The Tidewater Guy: History!

Me: Moonshine!

I'm basically, in the near future, going to redo Virginia's Bio and many parts of the history page. I almost gag when I reread everything on the home page, because that was a weird time for me and was basically lazier then than now. And the fact I have some more information on my OC.

But... I'm also at a stage now where I am really hating my muse.

Like, take Mary's Virginia, which is one of the best Virginia OCs out there in my opinion.  Elizabeth is caring, yet knows when to be "strict" on others when they are treating others badly.  I love the idea of the Commonwealth being scattered-brained, because, sometimes, the state really didn't know how to make its decisions wisely.  And the historical information on her page is ten times more accurate than with any other Virginia I have seen. I absolutely adore this Virginia.

And then, you go to my Virginia, who is well... to be honest... a bitch.  She is quite mean and cranky to everyone, and I didn't mean for her to have that as her center trait.  It was provide to be a visible personality trait of her, yes, to be "strict," but I meant for her to have that streak of caring on more than rare occasions. But when was the last time Va has smiled? Hugged someone? Or simply gave some of her time and was not a selfish brat?

I hate my muse. I hate how I have been portraying her. And, honestly, I don't know if I can change her back to what I originally had in plan for the "unstable" character. She's already made a deep enough mark as a "cranky old lady" that I really can't change what she has become.

And sometimes I feel I hardly even portray the muse as, well, "The Commonwealth of Virginia." I know I am in more AU roleplays or crack ones than anything else. I've been trying to relate more on state-related things, or even try to answer some of the anons asking about the state that I've been excited to answer but just stare at it like blank-slate (heck, I even got a question about Maryland and Virginia's relationship and I've been dying to answer one like this since I started the blog but I can't really produce a sentence answer). Don't get me wrong; I know the stuff (not exactly by the back of my hand, but I know it well enough and know the resources to gather more research), but I've either been a busy or lazy butt, and pretty much have half-assed this character. It's really more something to socialize than anything, and I hate that I do that more than enlighten people about the great wonders of this state I call home.

Also, I really need to lay back on the OOC posts. Like, 90% of them. They're not necessary.

I apologize for my rant and being a horrible roleplayer. You may continue with you Tumblr life if you were an unfortunate soul to read this. I just need to let this go from my chest.

With Love, 

If you are a human AU blog, for any character, then I will merge Virginia into the AU and make some sort of backstory as we go along. Her personality will pretty much be the same, but it's just easier to have her as a human for those cases than staying in her representation status.

I may make an AU page where I give simple bio of whenever Virginia is part of an AU, such as the human AU between Fyre and me of our crack pairing. If you do have a AU role-play with me, just inform me if you want to be on the page that will be made during the weekend, or if you want to start an AU for this page.

Thanks,
