ari, ilysm <3 well said!

and please, i'm intimidated so bad too omfnihyfwed
i have idols right now. i can always improve, writing and coding wise.

it just seemed that, for a moment there, all this judgement and prejudice was being blamed on coders.
the intimidation is going to be around like it is anywhere else. in sports, classes, etc. it's human nature.

it's just, if you feel excluded, you just gotta reach out. you have to set your own standards and work on improving yourself nowadays, like ari said.

i was terrified at first. my first literate roleplay was in an immortal instruments roleplay
and i adored one of the members there. i idolized her so much
and i was so scared, but i pmed her complimenting her form and asking how many of the books she had read.
and bam, here i am. i wouldn't be here today if i hadn't made that one pm.

i'm really sorry that a few of you have been shut down or had someone be mean to you. that's unacceptable and incredibly rude of that person to do. but at the same time, it can be the other way around and the roles can be switched.
there are just a few bad apples every now and then. xc

also, maybe this is just me but i try to put a part of my character into the form. yeah, there might not be much in the form because of the coding. but again, we were just talking about how coding is created based off a character. and it also leaves more to plan and discuss and roleplay out, i guess.

those are my last thoughts bc i accidentally started this omg. i didn't mean to make a big fuss.
edit: although, rose, it's gonna be a bit hard to put a cap on this right now. cx
i think it's a healthy discussion that needs to be had in order to improve this intimidation everyone feels
i also feel like my eyes have opened a lot right now, hopefully others are the same.
if it starts to take a sour turn then we have a problem

where do you get your pictures/charries from?
tumblr lmao. tumblr has everything i could ever need

[charmey]

okay, first off, yes
yes aurie
yes
rose too
everyone here had valid points of reason
most of you buggers keep posting before i can so if what i say is repetitive then get over it lol

as part of this community i feel as though i need to put my input out there as well
and you guys
i just say it how it is
and its gonna sound harsh
but i adore every one of you ducklings so please know this is not an attack

i can't lie
when i first started out here i saw deffs and diem and otter as goddesses
their talent in coding and writing one hundred percent drove me to become a better all around role player
because yes
i did want to be "accepted" by them
its a basic natural human instinct to crave acceptance
but the more i grew as a role player
the more i grew to be comfortable with myself and my own style and talent
and that craving for acceptance quickly dissipated
unfortunately a lot of users on this website are young people
and this is the sort of realization that comes with maturity, i believe
but it does eventually come

though you know what i had to do to really cinch that self comfort?
i had to have the confidence to talk to these people who i so adored
its easily forgotten that these are real living breathing crying laughing people just like us
just like you
its like when people meet their favorite movie stars and freak out because "omg they're so nice!"
they're so shocked
as if they expected them to be nothing less
what a cynical world we live in

it only took one pm
i cant remember to who
but it was to one of those goddesses
saying how much i liked their work and how much i'd love to get to know them more
to boost my confidence as a role player and friend to reach out to everyone else
and it easily stands today as one of the best decisions of my life
now i was a shyyyyyyy kid
like
i ran from the dressed up characters at disneyworld
so don't think i'm not taking everyone's personalities here into account
but seriously
its thats freakin simple
thirty seconds of courage

what one of you was saying about how your friend was terrified to approach us
listen
i get it
really
but and here it goes, the gauntlet being thrown
that's their own issue their own problem their own fault
if they never get over themselves and come to realize these are real people
and instead squander their talent (because everyone has talent here) in their fear of rejection
then there is nothing any of us can do about it
instead us "literate" role players are then twisted into some negative enigma that's not our fault
and that's not fair to us
to that person who's afraid
to anyone

i'm being extremely blunt but i'm not going to apologize because i feel
being included in this "elite group" myself on occasions
that i am under some sort of attack
that my character and moral and tact as a real life person is being spat on and questioned
just because i'm experienced in my craft and love what i do and aren't afraid to show it
that is wrong
and if you read all this and tell me i don't have any points to be made
then you need to take a good look into the mirror honey

i feel as though this is all being derived from some stigma between the old "literate" blood and the new "literate" blood of role playing here on cs
since everyone's interpretation of what "literate" is is different
but bottom line
we are all the same in the end
we're all people
and i have to ask
as we are ALL up and coming writers
do we bash those like john green or veronica roth or stephanie meyer or ralph waldo emerson or thoreaux or anyone who is bigger than us?
no
we don't
we take guidance and enjoyment and encouragement and inspiration from them
so i leave you with this:
why should this "literate" community on chickensmoothie be any different

sorry rose, everyone kept posting before me and i just really feel my opinion needed to be heard too

where do you get your pictures/charries from?
literally same aurie
if i don't see it by chance someplace else its always tumblr[/strike]

[ari,]

where do you get your pictures/charries from?

I'm pretty boring when it comes to this, i usually just search
something up on google like "black haired girl tumblr" and
just find something i like //shot

Ahhh I joined before the forums were even... Like... Here. So it's hard for me to relate to the intimidation ;/
Then again I've always been the kind of person that's like "that's really cool. I can totes do that" (totally can't do it but think I can anyway #yolo)

where do you get your pictures/charries from?
My secret stash under the 142nd pine tree to the left in Narnia.
You can use them if you can find it :DD

[eugenides]

my opinion: coding is for self-satisfaction ( ooh, look i made pretty thing ! )
writing is the main part of roleplaying ( though the details you put into a form do express parts of a character's personality. )

where do you get your pictures/charries from?
tumblr is like the costco of the internet images world.

i had this big post written, then you guys had to steal all the words out of my mouth ( keyboard? )
plagiarists cx

[capricious]

some hardcore googling...
lasjkdfjdjj i should make a tumblr

[ʞ ɔ ǝ ɹ ʍ d ı ʞ s]

tumblr is a magical place
it's a trap
save yourself

[munchkin cat.]

Tumblr has pretty much everything you could ask for and more, though some places are too be avoided if you wish to keep a clean mind and clean way of thinking cx

and same as everyone else, all pictures come from tumblr c:

Ok alright I have a question -cracks knuckles-



Code: Select all

[b]Are you emotionally attached to any of your characters, or do you just bust out new ones for everything?[/b]

[ari,]

Are you emotionally attached to any of your characters, or do you just bust out new ones for everything?

I'm writing a small novel and I can't for the life of me kill off any of my characters. they're my bbies ;v;
as for rping, to be perfectly honest except for 1x1s not many have really kicked off. i haven't had any
time to become emotionally attached to them ~
