I keep it clinical and leave the ball in their court. I consider that polite without being imposing.
You have my blanket permission to use any words you want when we get together, except the word turgid. In return I promise to acknowledge that anatomy is an actual thing.

I play the gamut in characters but they always have flaws to match their strengths. It doesn’t need to be a perfect balance, but I don’t believe perfection is achievable, and trying to do so just makes things super awkward.
I play characters who are sometimes special snowflakes and go against the grain, I play characters who are the stereotypical ‘book’ idea of a concept, really just depends on my mood.
I have never, ever, had a personal association with my character there.
They aren’t me.
I would be very weirded out that someone thought that about me.
The only association I have with my character is that as their creator, and the person who decides what they do, when they do fucked up things… that’s on me. I made that choice. The idea that I didn’t choose to do something, that the character would do that somehow makes it right?
Nope.
Sure, the character might do something a certain way, but I wrote the character, and I can just as easily have them not do the thing that ruins things for others. Maybe the sociopath had a conscience for half a second, if it’s better for the RP and enjoyment of the game for others.
Decisive I know.

@Mourne While I agree overall with what you said, I do want to speak on the topic of character choices.
Yes, it is of paramount importance that the choices a character makes don’t diminish (and usually improve) the fun of other people. And yes, ultimately, it is the player who makes the choices for the character.
However, I have found that a character who is also an authentic person does make their own choices, at least abstractly. Obviously, they don’t exist, so they do not make a choice per se, but the creator does set up a consistent internal logic to a character to the point where there are things a character will and will not do.
So the creator’s responsibility is not just to make the choices, but to make sure that the internal logic they have created for their characters allows for such beneficial-to-others’-fun choices to be made.

I promise, I am not a murderer who wants to eat people IRL.
And here’s me, perpetually disappointed that my friends refuse to believe my insistence that I really am a cannibal IRL.
Where do they think vegans get their protein from?
I’m not worried about the vegetarians. The humanitarians, though, they scare me.

I totally thought you raised bullet ants in your garage for the really antagonistic vampire council meetings. This isn’t true?
ETA: I’m honestly not sure how I cocked up aiming this @Selira except that it’s very late and there has been vodka involved in my day.

Back when I’d do TS, I had someone give me the “This is so hot” OOC message. And, because I’m a friendly person who’s totally fine with OOC, I was curious and asked, “Oh, really? What about it is hot?”
Turns out that’s not at all what someone wants to hear.

I recall making a list of sexy versus unsexy words once…
let it be a challenge to you
-
@sao moist topped the sexy list, right?
-
@tsar As best I remember, he wanted me to say I found it hot too. He got all pissy that he wasn’t turning me on and that I ruined the scene by not at least faking it.
I didn’t realize that I was having a threesome with him and his sorely neglected ego.

I pity every sexual partner that guy has ever had.

Why? I’m sure it was very hot as long as you never ask them any questions about it or solicit their feedback—
…oh

@sao Ironically, I was reminded just this very evening that Livejournal still exists.
So get digging!

Oh god, this means my High School poetry might still be out there somewhere.
