@Herja If I could lurk in some rafters I almost certainly would.
-
@Herja I LOVED ME SOME RAFTER LURKING
-
Oh, I was right there in the rafters with everyone else. I was an archer with a dark and tragic past. Where else was I supposed to sit??
lol lmao
-
@Herja IN A CHAIR IN THE RAFTERS!
-
@Herja oh so that was you sitting next to me! I was the naked blue demon with spoons in her hair.
I draw things! http://www.mahaldoodles.com

@crawfish I feel like this says so much about our relationship and role play styles, rofl
lol lmao
-
@Herja hhahahahahah oh shit it does

@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
-
@Herja You forgot the part about being naked.

Peeve: How certain names are forever ruined by your experience with them.
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
Semi-charmed kinda life, baby, baby
I want something else, I’m not listening when you say good-byeShe/Her or They/Them

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.
(aka, i feel you, i understand, i feel this too, this is what i tell myself to make myself feel better)

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.
-
@Pavel I feel that larger crowds can be fine, but not if I am expected to keep track of what people are actually doing outside of my 'bubble.
Also of course an absolute no if people expect a whole room pose order. At that point I might as well go for a five mile walk or something instead of trying to RP.
-
I use to LOVE large scenes, like a year ago. Then something happened in my brain and I no longer enjoy them. I get anxious that I’m leaving someone out or someone isn’t enjoying it or someone is feeling unwanted. Then I start to stress out and stop enjoying the scene myself.
I really think it’s my RL overwhelm carrying over to my RP overwhelm. It’s been a long few years.
