I’m the Twilight-era Kristen Stewart. Everyone watched and secretly enjoyed but ain’t winning no awards for quality.

Can I please be the Ian McShane of the RP community?

@Roz THE WHOLE ASS.

BRIAN BLESSED!

@Roz said in Confessions:
@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.
I actually explained that @Herja does this to my husband the other night, because he was explaining to me what kind of tv show writing he likes and I was like ‘That’s Herja GMing. You are describing how Herja GMs.’

Also, if we’re giving ourselves titles, I desire to be the Jeff Bridges of the mush community.

lmao I want to be this Alan Rickman

My confession is that I have absolutely no idea when people make references to me. This thread, for example, is going completely over my head now that you guys have started comparing yourselves to specific actors and actresses. I’m like “I don’t know how to compute this comparison.”
Oh. My other confession is that I’m not sorry for what I page one of @tsar’s Arx characters (and only that character) when she logs in that char.

While the nice things that @Roz and @crawfish said make me ecstatically happy, I really did mean my confession as a confession. I go hard 100% of the time in RP even when I think the players in question might prefer a more chill scene or something more laid back, but I’m still there making subtle references to a lengthy backstory that only I know or dropping hints about character secrets and creating dramatic tension when my scene partners just want to have a family dinner and talk about what plots we are involved in.
lol lmao

“This dinner scene is boring.”
“We should invite @Herja .”
“Everyone MIGHT DIE, Craw.”
“…and?”
“…okay. Is she on Discord?”
“I can call her.” -
@Herja ME TOO
HELLO I AM SAO AND I AM HERE TO DRAMA THE FUCK OUT OF THIS RP
-
@sao I would like to see dramatic hair washing. You know who I mean.
-
@dvoraen I’ve done it in the grotto. It’s a little harder to justify now that I have a palatial bathroom in my quarters.

My confession is that in the past two years, I’ve played on almost every game, but I rarely last longer than two weeks.
I just like trying new things.
Also, funny story, there’s one game that I’d like to try, but its canon contains real-world events that I was a part of IRL. Which means I’m technically canon in that game. So I think I’m a little too close to the source material to play there, haha.
