@Wizz said in Confessions:
When I was a teenager playing a Final Fantasy game, instead of simply OOC fading to black during romantic scenes where sex was heavily implied, I would write these elaborate little…intermission paragraphs (???) where a “chibi” version of my character would drag a protective curtain/screen/etc across the fourth wall, and then take a little smoke break or whatever before pushing it back off stage for the post-coital pillow talk. Every time.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHY I DID THIS, I AM SO SORRY
If you were still playing Lenard on Arx, I would totally have expected you to do this again.

Mostly for silly things.
Here is mine:
I use asterisks, slashes, and underlines to provide emphasis with absolutely no consistency at all. Sometimes different ones in the same pose!!
I feel no remorse. I’ll do it again.
I have done all these things but not at the same time.
Nothing but respect.

Hi, I’m GF and I’m an accent-typer. It’s been twenty-two years since I last phonetically spelled my character’s accent in dialogue.

I act like I ain’t got time for relationship RP but I actually like it very much.
Chibi FTBs are a bonus I didn’t know about until today.

You know those actors that ‘chew the scenery’ in movies and TV?
Yeah, that’s me, but in roleplayer form.
lol lmao
-
@Herja my confession is that someone told me I chew the scenery (it was a compliment) and I googled what it meant and I still don’t understand it lol

@bear_necessities It’s when an actor goes hard, especially when they didn’t need to. It is DRAMA. It is TENSION. It is 200% COMMITMENT in every choice. There will be nothing generic, nothing half-assed. It is the WHOLE ASS. It’s not entirely synonymous with overacting, although there can be overlap. Chewing the scenery can be an absolute positive, and you can see plenty of hugely well-regarded actors indulging in it over countless films.
From a RPer, I would say it’s people with a sense of DRAMA in the best sense of the word. For Herja, it’s probably because there is something that feels a bit Shakespearean, or maybe Greek drama, about how she always whole-asses it. Not DRAMA like people who just cause superficial drama, but drama like THE ANCIENT GREEKS IN THE AMPITHEATRE.

@bear_necessities ‘Chewing scenery’ usually to me suggests extreme over-acting. Like anything that Jeremy Irons or Willem Dafoe is in.
Depending on how schlocky the movie is, this has always been a compliment to me, as I’ve always assumed that the actor is having a great time with the role.
I don't know what I'm doing. Poke at Seven Nations sevennations.aresmush.com port 2021

Ain’t nothing wrong with going hard.
No, but seriously. I love when people are vibing on what’s happening in and around their characters and stories because it draws me in for the ride. I tend to subscribe to the philosophy that we’re seeing the most meaningful moments of a person’s life in RP. So the times things went really great, went really wrong, the times they fucked up, the times they were most elated, the times they felt most accomplished.
I guess my related confession would be that my characters cry a lot and I’m not sorry about it.

Thanks to you and @Roz and honestly I agree, I’m definitely the Willem Dafoe of Rp.
