today in current RP life:

"we have arranged a marriage for you"
"gee aunt harper, that sounds like it lacks a lot of consent. i'm going to sleep with her brother and sister-in-law instead."

tbh i've kinda gone to using concept art, images from Magic the Gathering, high quality screen caps, and League of Legends skins rather than fanart drawn by fans when i can't commission art myself.

i need to root out the rest of the images i'm using that aren't just Official Work, but using fanart has kinda made me uncomfortable for a while. Personally, I don't mind if people use my art for role play or discord pfps so long as it's credited back to me (UNLESS it was commissioned; then it belongs to someone else, don't do that). one of my pieces actually made it onto a smogon discord as a sticker. but not all artists feel the same.

my avatars here on PP are art i personally own, of an OC that was custom designed not necessarily for me but given to me all the same (his creator made him before she knew me, and then contacted me asking if I wanted to play him; I named him and here we are, two years later, and i'm still playing him). i've personally found it to be a LOT cooler existing in a space where people draw or commission their own OCs, or make them in dollmakers/heroforge/the sims, than in spaces where people use face claims. ai art takes a massive dump on the concept of making a space friendly for artists, and that's kinda why I'm against it.

as an artist who does commissions, if you're not writing smut of the ppl i'm drawing, i'm actually disappointed.

yugioh rp but we're the monsters, not the characters in the tv show

lemme play Shuraig

i think there's something poetic about beating my first battle in radical red with my sprigatito, and beating the champion, who has since abandoned his starter, with only Meowscarada still standing.

this is what you get for thinking fuecoco is uglier than charmander. Get Meow'd, Idiot.

writes 2k words of original writing

immediately goes "what if i quit public rp and just wrote original stuff for the rest of my life?"

seriously ponders it because like hmmmmm

yeah but do i have to play the game for the pvp or can i just go to a showdown equivalent and never interact with the actual games themselves?

tbh doesn't even have a competitive scene, what's the point

i don't think well-written women are all that rare in works that are actually well-written.

sometimes i wonder if bad female characters are more a symptom of bad writing, period, because i can't think of a single series with badly written women that i would consider well-written otherwise.

i'm playing radical red and it turns out Kingambit is still cheap and broken without tera. How many matches have I won just by having Gambit on my team? The answer will not surprise you.

so we're gonna try to start working on the novel built thru RP (we're gonna make the first draft by RP'ing out scenes, and then add/edit things later). i am determined to finish this. like. i can't be one of two people obsessed with these two anymore.

i need this. i NEED THIS.
