Almost have my set complete for the icons 10 in 20--
Going to see Aladdin tomorrow after husband breaks his fast-- I am prepared for whatever.
There is still the Friends Icon Request going on here, if you want an icon-- you have approximately one week left to participate (that being said, requests at hiraethe are always open)
Bring on the new episode of Fruits Basket tomorrow! Can't wait
I WISH THAT PLAYING A GAY HIGHLANDER IN FFXIV WOULD NOT BRING OUT ALL THE TWINK CATTES, unfortunately they do. Like I had an RP with someone, and they were like "I AM NOT LIKE THE OTHER CATTES! I LIKE STORY AND PLOT" and I am like "YAY!". and then by the end of the RP they were trying to crawl into Kristophe's lap because they were 'in heat'-- STAHP, DO NOT WANT!
Also they got disappointed when I told them that Kris was 24, disappointed because they thought he was older-- WHY DOES THAT EVEN MATTER!?

Okay that was my speed post for the day!

And THIS is why I rather have/play original characters than the canon logical characters. This way I can adjust the way a character is played, or how I play said character, to fit into the canon.


Unfortunately, with that I always get is a l o t of replies* like "EW, an OC!", or "You know, I don't think I want to play with your character...Sorry!", or they don't reply to me at ALL.

*---Which of course makes my anxiety go apepoop crazy because I'm always wondering "Did I do something wrong?", "Is my history of the character not good enough (read: I *ALWAYS* try to research and try to make sure that the character is not too Mary Sue-ish and go from there)?", or my personal hated one: "Am I just not good enough for you to play with my character? Are you just humoring me? WHAT DID I DO WRONG?!!" (and TBH, I almost teared up writing that part.) .

Just as long as you play that characterbhow you love, it should not matter at all! I play some of my favorite characters by OOC standards because itbisbhow I connect to them... my Magus Zeal is probably much different from the actual source material and I have made my peace with that...


Also YOU ARE TOTALLY VALID

You are too kind!


I mean, I put hard research into everything (like my Hetalia character, for example. I researched the history, who all came from the place, the great flood, etc.) just to make sure it's up to their standards of a character.
