I never knew I needed this. But I do.

Don't get me wrong, my own apps are long as hell! Because I can never shut up in them apparently. I always try to make them short, but I get too excited because it's like I'm discovering the character when I'm writing apps. I don't think long apps are a bad thing, they're just bad to someone who has been hit with the combo of being tired + adhd +
just lazy that hour ahaha.

As for another confession, I tend to let a lot of things slide in apps I've seen other sites pend. If I see a decent amount of notable typos, I just ignore them because I can tell what they mean. If they're juust over the borderline of not being lore-correct I'll usually give them wiggle room instead of working with them to fix it.

However, a connected confession to that is that my mood effects my levels of leniency. I still say I'm a really relaxed admin who just wants everyone to have fun, but if my day in real life has been really awful I find myself minding lore contradictions more. I guess it's like if you spend all day with people being aggressive and dishonest in real life, you start to see the motivations of someone making a character with something that breaks lore (such as a banned OP power) as something intentional instead of accidental.

Now that I'm a hermit I rarely ever have that problem! 

Man I'm probably coming across as an awful admin, but I swear I do my best and these are just the worst traits because it's the thread for them

Let's see... This doesn't happen all the time, but it has happened. If I see a really long app that's ready, but I'm tired because it's morning/night (or just because), I'll pretend I didn't notice/maybe even log off until I can prepare my brain to pay attention. If I don't I find myself skimming. 

In fact, that's another confession! I sometimes skim long apps. I adore when I get new characters/members on a site, but sometimes I'm just really not able to focus, yet I don't want to keep them waiting. Not having a staff team has a lot of drawbacks.  

Same!

Something based on the Dark Crystal. *u*

Heya everyone! I picked up ff14 again recently after like a year's hiatus. My main is on balmung, but I rolled a new character on Gilgamesh to relearn white mage since so much has changed.

ANYWAY, I saw this thing was going on and got curious to see what everyone's favorites are from it? I don't play DPS sooo I guess I won't get to enjoy the winner, but it's still fun to look!


EDIT: added a link to the pic, oops haha


Here are my top 3!

The ff14's moonfire faire event this year is torment for someone with an injured thumb, haha. 

Oh hey, cool, I went from new member to junior member and didn't notice at the time! 

punki

There are a lot of great anime! I only tend to watch 2-3 a year now, but I have a huge list of 'to watch someday'. I'd drown in it if the list got liquefied haha. And ghibli movies are just movies from Studio Ghibli, like Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Princess Mononoke, ect. <3

Yeah, a teeny chromebook! It was cheap as heck and weighs like half a pound, but dang if it isn't useless for anything aside from basic browsing. I used to use firefox in the past, but it started crashing so bad and so often I rage quit to chrome and it's kinda stuck.

I believe in you! I love big ol' graphics, but my chromebook does not haha.

punki Omg, are you me? My more talented doppelganger? Lmao, jk, but we do have a lot in common!



Same! And when I'm online it translates to me talking way too much about anything and everything. When writing I try to be concise as I can be, but for some reason when chatting I use 100 words for what could be boiled down to 20 ahaha.

I'm also an aspiring writer who is currently watching My Hero Academy! Though I do have an answer to my favorite anime, and that is the Mononoke series because the art got me. I also like Yuri on Ice a lot because I'm basic. Is it still unfair to ask what your favorite ghibli movie is? That's the one that gets me conflicted haha. 

The main computer that I can skin and make graphics on is attached to a large tv as well, haha. Though on the other end the one I use day to day is a teeny tiny chromebook.

I'm still teaching myself how to skin and stuff, so screen size problems continue to plague me lol.


Anyway, it was nice meeting you! I hope to see you around here!

Oh god, that sounds awful. 

Hmm, I KNOW I have one aside from the one I'm about to tell, but I swear my brain is blocking it out. I guess it doesn't want to relive the pain lol.

But the end boss of kingdom hearts 1 that has like 20 different phases and takes FOREVER. The first time I beat it the power went out during the cut-scene after, so I had to do it all again. 


I also beat a big boss in an Atlas game (Nocturne? one of the personas?) only to be killed in a random little fight right next to the nearest save. But that wasn't the power's fault, just Atlas being Atlas. 

Or you beat a super hard/very time consuming boss and have this happen.

Though stealth sections in non-stealth games are the worst, so yours is worse.

I actually had an idea of how to help you, but then I saw that eliza already gave you what advice I wanted to give, but in a clearer (lol) way than I could have. 

I also have the trouble where I heavily lean towards one type of character. I think that for me one of the issues is my taste in face claim. I really am drawn to qt boys, which kinda limits me. I mean, I've tried using one of those face claims as someone hardened and strong, but no one else took him seriously because of the face claim, so that didn't work haha. And then when I play girls I always default to a strong, stoic girl, even though they're made fun of now a days in writing circles. </3 

I think a big thing that helps me when I do branch out is immersing myself in media I like that has the 'feels' of what I want to play. For example, when I binge an assassination fanfic AU suddenly I have the interest to make a stone cold killer raised into it. But when I read a fluffy slice of life high school band manga, I get the interest in making a dumb teen in marching band. Maybe try watching/reading things with wholesome and happy content and see if any characters stick out to you. Like Clear said, you can nab personality traits from someone in media and then make it your own. 

You don't have to branch too far out of things you like either. Just go on over to archive of our own and look up coffeeshop AUs of your fav shows. Sort by kudos or comments and you should find some good stuff. I notice that snappy, fun, dialogue really helps me want to write non-angst characters. though angst is really fun, so I am all for 'edgelord pasts' tbh. I'm just saying this cause you said you were tired of playing them
