      Peeve: How certain names are forever ruined by your experience with them.

      E.G. I went on a game to check things out and froze in my seat when I saw the name Eloise. I did what I could to make sure that /that/ player was not there before even going beyond guest bit.

          @Herja If I could lurk in some rafters I almost certainly would.

                        @crawfish It’s like I’m the overdramatic Method actor that has like a full history of every character that no one else will ever see except revealed in small drips and drabs. You are a chaos demon that delights in putting together as weird of combinations for characters as allowed.

                        lol lmao

                            Certain played-bys, too, which is a bummer. There are a couple actors with faces I find very evocative but they’re too strongly associated with Annoyances in my brain for me to ever use.

                            I want something else to get me through this

                            I want something else, I'm not listening when you say good-bye

                              This. There’s a handful of very skilled actors that I can’t not associate with people I’d rather never think about again, and it kind of sucks.

                                That’s part of the reason I don’t use played-bys for my characters, and pretty much ignore them on wikis and stuff. I don’t want to ruin an actor in my mind if my interaction with a character using them as a played-by turns out terrible.

                                  @Third-Eye I’ve stolen these sorts of PBs to reassociate them in my head, honestly. Not, like, on the same game. But other places. Because if anyone’s going to ruin a PB for me, it’ll be me, dammit.

                                    I suck at RPing in crowds. The older I get, the more I suck.

                                      Maybe it’s not YOU that sucks. Maybe it’s RPing in CROWDS that sucks.

                                        I love big crowd scenes. I love one-on-one scenes. I am terrible in middle-sized group scenes because in RP, I either want a lot to react to (thanks, ADHD) or I want to dig deep into what makes the other PC tick. Mid-sized scenes that seem to dissolve into the RP equivalent of small talk, unless we are actively doing something, just lose me entirely.

                                        lol lmao

                                          The magic number for me to lose all of my brain cells completely is around five. One-on-one is best, add a third and that’s fine, a fourth and you start running into some pose delays, but it’s usually okay, at 5 my brain breaks. I end up having to just basically skim poses in order to turn one of mine around in a timely manner.

                                          By contrast, in huge scenes, no one is really expecting me to have massive hot takes and I can kind of just react the way the character would in small bite-sized pieces.

                                          Midsize scenes are very hard.

                                            I agree with the magic number there. More than five and it’s no.

                                            But I also can’t do big scenes in the way you describe. I don’t have time to sit and play set dressing, when I could be doing something else.
