I want to apologize. I know words can’t undo the damage that words caused, but this is all i know how to do. I’m sorry. I was horrible and cruel and malicious and vile. I was harsh and hard and mean and just plain all-around awful. There’s nothing to make up for that. I don’t even know how to adequately express how disgusting I feel for it. I shouldn’t have done what I did. I shouldn’t have taken anything out on you all. There’s no excuse for it, and again, I’m so incredibly sorry. If there’s anything I can do to make it up in any small amount, or take the edge off it, or even just make you feel better in a retaliatory sense, just tell me. I don’t expect anyone to forgive me and I’m not asking for it, but I do at least want you all to know that I was wrong, and I recognize that. I’m sorry. I don’t know what else to say.
((Care to elaborate? Less sarcasm and elusiveness? Potentially with examples. I’m not being sarcastic.))
((To be frank I’m much less frustrated with you than I thought I’d be several months ago. You’ve been showing actual improvement, plus a desire to grow, and I respect you for that. But since you asked, and since I’m calming down a little bit, I’ll tell you the first thing that springs to mind.
The most prominent one is your blatant godmoding of characters. Things like putting Conrad to sleep and taking people into his apartment. That’s a no-no, and while I do understand that Plesley talked to you about it, I know her and I know she has a hard time saying negative things front and face. So here it is: stop doing that.
There’s one or two other things but I’m winding down and they’re not big enough that I want to get into it, so I’ll cut it there and also say I’m genuinely sorry if that comes across as rude. It isn’t intended to be. It’s me pointing out an area that needs improvement because the other ones are either fine as they are or are working to be improved. I wish people would recognize that.))

((Hell, let’s get into YOU, shall we? Your little happy camp you run is freaking absurd. No, I can’t always word things perfectly. No one can. But I don’t use my face for a reason. Because I don’t want shit like THIS exploding all over my dash. And yet it’s people like you who refuse to accept any form of imperfect negative observation because OH NO THEY DON’T HAVE A FACE. And you throw massive fits about people not interacting with your mary sue girlfriend or your ooc lamont or your 500 million low quality BFFs and it’s like
Did you ever think people don’t interact with them for a REASON? Did you ever think that maybe, just maybe, it’s because they’re crap? And maybe if they’d step back and acknowledge crit and interpret it on their own instead of me having to spend every single goddamn day making myself smile and be polite to hold their hand and guide them through every step of the process, they could IMPROVE? If someone reacts negatively, regardless of whether or not it’s in a constructive manner, it’s still something to be learned from. But you seem to think that butt pats and smiles will make everyone happy. Has it, Laura? Has it made everyone get along? Or did it drive even YOU to the brink because all it fucking does is make us build up negative emotions about others with no way to express them?
Telling people their imperfection is perfect does not help them. Fighting against the ability to express ones distaste for something does not HELP people. It enables mediocrity and a less-than-stellar attitude towards growth and learning.
I’m terribly sorry if I jumped topics a bunch in there, but I have a hard time organizing my thoughts when I’m frustrated.))
((You know what? This right here:
Or did it drive even YOU to the brink because all it fucking does is make us build up negative emotions about others with no way to express them?
is completely uncalled for. I don’t care that you’re frustrated. My friends did not “drive me to the brink”. You have no idea.))
((Honestly, that’s not even the point. Like I said, I have a hard time organizing or making my thoughts pretty for people when I get like this. So really, if you’re done making it about you as opposed to this whole entire process, I’d like to get back to the argument at hand. I feel for you, Laura. You have a lot of shit going down that is incredibly unfair for you. But that doesn’t mean I’m going to hold back right now. I don’t want to get really hurtful, so let’s move this back to the thousand other points I made instead of the one nitpicky detail I accidentally spewed in the midst of my thought-vomit.

((FUCK YOU GUYS IM TAKING MY BALL AND GOING HOME))
((Yep.))
((Ladies and gentlemen, I give you: how not to discuss things and instead act like a petulant five year old.))
((Really? You’re going to tell me that I’m a five year old?
Okay, let me be a five year old at you for a second here.
This whole fucking RP group doesn’t talk about shit. Or if they do, it consists of gossiping behind closed doors. You say we’re a community, but we’re really only a community to people/characters we like. When someone has a different opinion, you start telling someone to “calm their tits” and write a phrase on every other line to make yourself look like a responsible adult. Because we’re all adults here, right?
The community used to be a lot more welcoming and open to characters. The atmosphere was such that someone could be offered criticism without having it dripping in sarcasm and bad intent. Why can’t someone say “Hey, your character seems a bit such-and-such, but here are ways to fix it”? Is that hard to do now?))
((Sometimes the only way to fix a character is to scrap it and start from scratch. And sometimes even that won’t undo the damage someone has caused. Like Charlie!
We don’t talk about shit because people are always trying to be polite and not hurt feelings and keep drama down. On top of that, if we DO voice something it doesn’t do anything anyways! So why bother? It’s not our job to babysit the fledgling rpers and guide them through life. If you want to do it? Fine. But I’m not signing up for a job like that. The community was open, and then people FOUND it. It was suddenly swarmed by low-quality, shit-tier characters. We interact with the characters we find fun to play with. Because, as you constantly preach yourself, this is for FUN. I will never play with someone I do not find entertaining. Tough shit, half of rp.))

((I’m 100% with Hanna on this, who gives a shit if some people are mary sues on purpose, if they’re shitty RP’ers then they’ll learn that they’re shitty at it BECAUSE NO ONE WILL WANT TO RP WITH THEM. If they’re in the community and there are people interacting with them then clearly it’s because they’re good enough for the members of that community.
This “anon” by standards of them not having the balls to go un-anon we have to assume isn’t part of the community. So if they don’t like Lexi’s RPer’s headcannons for her own Goddamn Character, headcannons which will probably have No Part in the Actual Content of the RP they can either nut up and talk to her like a fucking adult, or shut the fuck up and unfollow her if they think her internal character structure is so flawed they cannot function within this apparently perfect RP universe.
Yes people write shitty characters, yes we should say something when they do, yes we do and have critiqued Characters before without being assholes about it.
Hanna’s point still stands. Are you interacting with the character? Will you ever interact with the character? No? Then fuck off it’s not your business what they do.
Fucking hell… Digerydo’s aren’t even that fucking hard to play I can play one for christsake.
Oh god someone’s fictional character is more accomplished than I am IRL CLEARLY A MARYSUE!!))
((Hi that anon is me! And I have given many friendly critiques and still been ignored by people. Let’s take, for instance, you! You continue to godmode people around and ride peoples’ dicks about subjects they are uncomfortable about in spite of constant subtle attempts to ward you off! Do you see now how subtlety and kindness isn’t working? People don’t care because it doesn’t impact them at all! It’s fucking amazing how that works, don’t you think?
And a character being accomplished means nothing to me if it’s well executed. Unfortunately, being a kawaii 17 year old prodigy neurosurgeon who volunteer firefights in their spare time isn’t realistic, as useful as it would be IRL. What a darn shame.))

((there was no flat out insulting
calm your tits hanna qurl
this is something that has been coming for a long time for people to be critted
because the community can learn from it
and also
the actions of anyone in a community affect all of it
so neglecting to crit and allowing our standards to drop
results in
guess what
a shitty rp
for everyone involved))

((I find it hilarious that it’s “insulting” the character when 90% of it was direct quotes, 5% was interpretation, and 5% was mild sarcasm. It was only awful sounding because it was all lined up together, like putting every piece of filthy littered garbage in the world and piling it together makes more of an impact than seeing the occasional wrapper on the street. It sounded like an insult because it sounded exactly like the kind of inane drivel I would write if I were making a deliberately Mary Sue mock character.))

mary sues in any roleplay are annoying
sorry but they are
i don’t care if it’s “JUST THE INTERNET!!!! ROLEPLAY IS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN!!!!” you’re writing a shitty character maybe you should start learning to write a better character and then people wouldn’t bother you
roleplay can be just as fun, even when you’re not playing a shitty self insert lol
((Although in their defense, people don’t HAVE to follow them. No one’s holding a gun to the follower’s head forcing them to pay attention to that character.
Or we should establish the RP police to stop anyone from ever making characters. That’ll show them.))
((Don’t take everything as a personal attack.))
((I didn’t. I’m saying people don’t have to get butthurt over everything. You don’t have to follow people if you don’t like them, it’s as plain as that. And if people are really gonna spend the energy to offer critique, the least they could do is have some manners about it.))
((I must point out, that in a roleplay community it tends to be considered rude and horrid if anyone unfollows anyone else in that community. But besides that, we’re all adults here. We should be able to take a bit of tough love. If someone crits me, no matter how harsh they are, I can take the time to go “oh, they have some valid points actually!” and learn from it.
Also, I gotta point out the hypocrisy inherent in calling people out on being butthurt while throwing a tantrum about it. Golly))
