Mun love time!

So I think all of us need a little self-esteem boost and motivation once in a while, and I've been wanting to do this for ages.


Step 1: Tag in with a list of you you play as. (And previous characters too if you want.)

Step 2: Also include one thing you like about yourself, because self-love is important and I greatly encourage it.

Step 3: Reply to other people with stuff you love about them.

This could be anything, personal or purely RP related. Maybe you really love how someone plays a character, or think they have great idea for plots, or had a really good time with a thread with them, or just think they're a really cool person. Say so!


Give each other some love!

I THINK YOU'RE PRETTY GOOD AT WRITING CREEPS AS WELL O_O

you're also, like. the nicest. the NICEST PERSON who ever was really good at playing total creeps.

I love threading with you cause you are super clever and great at tapping into you characters' headspaces. You have consistently witty and dynamic ways of writing your tags that I really really enjoy, so CR with you is always a delight.

I'm just glad people are up for playing with my creeps, because I know they can be...well, creeps. I was really glad you liked my Norman, and I really enjoyed the thread we had with him and Johnny even if I haven't really felt up to repeating it. Also relieved to hear people think I'm nice because sometimes I worry -- I mean, I joke that I worry, but I really do worry a bit about how straightforward the writing process is for me when I'm writing creeps.

oh I'm always up for that. That was a SUPER fun thread and no worries about like repeating it or anything, it was an excellent standalone, there is no void in my heart over that. XD

You know it's like so often the case that the NICEST ACTORS play the meanest characters? I've known that firsthand and I feel like it works out here too? Not sure what accounts for that but I wouldn't worry, the way you play your various fellas does not remotely translate to "I bet she REALLY thinks like this" - they all have distinct VOICES, it's not like it's your voice talking. :)

Re the nicest actors thing - I think it might be something to do with... feeling secure in your niceness, and ppl know you're nice, so it's safe to pretend to be terrible? Whereas kinda terrible ppl who pretend to be Nice Guys TM for example as so used to pretending to be nice that they can't unleash the meanness?? IDK IT'S A THEORY.

Chiming in here to add that I think their straightforwardness is what makes them creepy, at least in part. Like with Rashad, he has this comparatively simplistic approach to morality and is pretty unshakable in his own convictions, and that WOULD make writing him fairly straightforward in a lot of ways. But that rigidity is so different from most other characters that it makes him off-putting. Idk, it's hard to get my thoughts straight in phone tags; it just seems to me that said straightforwardness is a reflection of them and not you.
