Somehow, I finished this character’s history and personality traits in the morning and over my hour lunch finished the 2 other sections and 90% of the last one… Now I just need to add likes/dislikes after that last 10% and he can be handed in. Wow, what happened muse-wise me?

Okay, but what if I write both parts of an identical twin, using only one account?

There's hope beyond this lone abyss.
Interesting how so many discussions I’ve had about how “literate” is not a great term to use for RP end up with someone saying “well, it’s always been like this! And it’s not a problem” when, in the very same discussion, there’s been people talking about how it’s been a problem for them, or how the term just feels blah overall esp nowadays. “It’s always been like this so why change it” is such a bad justification on so many levels. And, in this case, it has been changing already in many circles anyways, but the term will probably still continue to residually float around in some way, which is fine enough, but I'm so glad so much of the emphasis has moved on in some communities

i don't get angry when i'm pissed; i'm the eternal optimist.
going from playing a golden retriever spider-man-esque kinda dude whose arc was a quarter jesus retelling, a quarter redemption arc, a quarter hero's journey deconstruction, and a quarter coming-of-age story to writing a lawful evil merchant prince who craves power while simultaneously being both book!howl and book!kaz brekker, and now to writing a shapeshifting terrorist extremist certainly is a pipeline i did not expect to have 4 years ago

i think it's a great term but not for the reasons its defenders think it is. i think it's a great filter for who i don't want to rp with.

Think the worst part is that "literate" is often defined by wordcount and not necessarily the quality of prose.
