      @crawfish That shit is like catnip to me. Unfortunately the vast majority of my IC ships don’t get that far.

        @crawfish I admit, I would like more one-night stands and other “romantic” relationships that aren’t straightforward romances. Give me bitter but conflicted exes. Give me “oh shit, I hooked up randomly with this person and discovered the next day they’re my new boss/employee”. Give me “I woke up after a really wild night next to this guy/gal I hate, and what I remember of the sex was mindblowing, but I still fucking hate them”.

        STs: Please start giving out bonus XP for hatefucking my nemesis.

          I really love depthful platonic relationships too. I keep thinking abt some really deep friendship connections I’ve played and how it doesn’t all have to be romance to be epic.

          let it be a challenge to you

                  I hate pining and slow burn. I just like a nice romance story as part of a character’s life, and I’ve never had any particular trouble keeping a long term relationship engaging but they were with really amazing RPers, which probably helps. This isn’t a super deep addition to the conversation, I just want to +1 romance as a genre.

                  as previously stated, good day.

                      I really enjoy the types of characters that rub a lot of people the wrong way (for ideological or personal reasons, not for creep/squick reasons). One of the most rewarding parts of playing those characters is developing the few deep friendships with people who invested time in looking deeper at the character to see the virtues that I’ve buried beneath the surface.

                        I think I’m envious of a lot of folks. Because I can say that this is something I really enjoy in RP, but so many times it’s been soured by OOC communications, or in often times, lack thereof. Boundaries were not set, discussions were not had, and then there’s hurt feelings all around. And I think, because of those interactions, I’ve become extremely gunshy about participating in that aspect of RP.

                        It’s also why I no longer do that kind of RP with players I don’t know or don’t have already an established communication or friendship with. There’s just too many unknown or variables and it almost gives me stress to even consider. I don’t like that, I wish I wasn’t like that, and I wish I could really enjoy that kind of RP more. But more often than not, I find myself avoiding it simply as means of self-preservation.

                        That said, the last two IC romances I’ve had in last two years have gone well, but likely because I followed my own advice above, someone I know, and having a discussion before anything happened.

                        ETA: That said, I do miss the spontaneity of some romances, how they just evolve organically and end up being great. That, I think, is the one thing I miss the most.

                            @Pyrephox My friend and I are still looking for a place where we can play a married Victorian couple who absolutely loathe each other in polite, passive aggressive ways.

                            It’d be so good.

                              So, in one of Jim Butcher’s series, two of the side characters are a villainous couple who hate each other but are working towards the same goals…until they’re not. And one of them serves divorce papers on the other during an epic fight-to-the-death.

                              They are my dream couple.

                                I’ve always wanted to play that dynamic and if you find that place, I will ship the hell out of that angry couple.

                                  I’ve enjoyed our one enemyship too. RIP those two guys who literally burned alive fighting each other.

                                  Edit: And the part where I wrote the roster and picked a PB I knew you’d be like “yep” for. I regret nothing.

                                      This was something I never imagined would be fun to RP until I had a chance to. Kind of hilarious that something that can be so fucking miserable IRL just leaves you cackling in delight to play pretend about.

                                      As for the rest of the romantic spectrum, I have also firmly settled in the camp that needs something else going on to find it worth the time invested and the risk of potential OOC wackiness. There’s certainly nothing wrong with people who just want to essentially play house, but that ain’t my cuppa. Lovers in a time of war? One of them is secretly an assassin robot? Their own children time traveled back to ensure they met? YUSPLS

                                            Agree!

                                            Talking things out and checking in is a very crucial part of any sort of relationship, even one in pretendy fun times. Heck, especially in pretendy fun times, as you’re both generally just trying to have fun, and you’ll likely play with one another again at some point down the road.

                                            Communication! It’s important.

                                            Like actually.

                                            (But also so are spontaneous just-because hook-ups.)

                                            Hmm. Yes.

                                            A bit of both
