AITAH for claiming somebody isn't putting in any effort into our threads?
I'm an extremely anxious, yet fairly meticulous individual. I'm not picky about length, nor am I the type to demand perfect grammar, as I fear it might be too intimidating to someone who didn't learn English as their first language.
However, there is this one blog who doesn't exactly use much of any grammar at all. I mean they almost never use capital letters or punctuation outside of quotation marks for when their muses are speaking. We've interacted a few times, even plotted, but nearly all of our threads have fallen through because it doesn't even seem like they're trying. I recently posted an open starter that was several paragraphs long that they responded to with about two sentences. The starter took place outside, and they had their muse "run into the room?" It literally makes me wonder if they ACTUALLY READ the starter, or even the about for the AU it was in, or if they just saw my muse was in trouble and ran into rescue them... in a context that makes no sense. Their muse literally has no reason to be where my muse is, and if they DID have a reason, they didn't bother to mention it.
Another thread we had, my muse, (gay) was hanging off the couch like a dramatic little queer, and their muse sat on the couch beside them and "pat their back." Despite the fact that their back was... against the bottom of the couch??
We plotted a thread where their muse would trick mine into freeing them, but the thread died because their muse, (intimidating) did nothing to put my muse at ease! Not only that, but they gave my muse WAY too much info that would never make a person trust them??
I've had multiple instances where I've posted a headcanon, (or have had a certain headcanon placed in my muse's about,) and they basically ignored it, (EI: My muse didn't know X character did Y to them because it was a mystery, but their muse spoke about it like it was common knowledge.)
As I've said before, I don't care about matching my length or having pristine grammar, but when my responses,
"Look like this!" A cried in frustration, throwing their arms up in the air before yanking their hair. "With detailed descriptors, dynamic punctuation, and even carefully picked word choices that will mean something else in later context!"
I definitely feel an imbalance of effort. I understand not everyone can have enough energy to match my effort, but to me, it feels like if they put in any LESS effort, they wouldn't be roleplaying at all. If I mentioned something to them, would I be the asshole?
