        @Smile “It’s what my character would do.” Then make a character who isn’t a fucking moron.

              Honestly, my biggest peeve is people who make decisions that get their characters in danger and rather than go along with it, they sort of like get frustrated at the consequences they get because “what else was my character going to do? Of course they were going to rage at the super evil and powerful mage! They are a rebel!”

              Like the character isn’t real. You make the decisions. Own it.

              I…why would you play a rebel character without expecting consequences. Isn’t that kind of the point of playing a rebel? If nothing happens and everyone agrees with you, you’re not rebelling!

              This is a rhetorical question obviously, I absolutely know why, it just endlessly baffles me.

                  Yes, let’s tell the human-hating centuries-old elf who’s just slaughtered a whole town that they’re an idiot. That’s really going to go so well.

                  And yet if the human-hating centuries-old elf had casually grown the mother of all trees through the mouthy one, you’d have been able to hear the OOC screaming from my side of the Pond.

                      If only more people thought like that.

                      I’m with you. If my character does something that stupid, they should get consequences! But ye gods, the wailing if consequences actually happen.

                        It’s like princes who are pirates. Dude. You cannot have it both ways. Either you, as the Law, are going out and robbing people, in which case don’t be surprised if the commoners pull out the guillotine, or you are an outlaw and a criminal and therefore not a ruler.

                        You cannot rebel against the Man if you ARE the Man.

                          I mean, nobility in disguise is a fairly common trope in literature. The disguise part is the crucial bit, though. They’re not supposed to know you’re the Prince, and they’ll probably be pissed when they find out.

                                        Except that 95% of this thread is actually about specific stuff that it feels like this thread is always subtweeting.

                                        Which is the nature of the beast, I guess. But it’s yet another ‘vaguebooking doesn’t actually exist/always seems intentional’ thing.

                                        I want something else to get me through this

                                            “wahhhh what do you mean that people will react appropriately if I initiate conflict? People should just let me do what I want without retaliation, or they’re bullying me.”

                                            Yes, I agree. It is really baffling when people don’t seem to realise they can guide their own experience and if they don’t like being in danger maybe they should pick fewer fights.
