let my cameron go...

❝i will not sit on my ass as the events that affect me unfold to determine the course of my life. i'm going to take a stand.❞ independent roleplay blog for the one, the only Cameron Frye from the hit eighties movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

    after insisting upon having his diastolic checked for the third time this week, Cameron currently occupies Florence Sparrow's office. he reposes in a chair many sizes too small for his colossal frame, albeit it doesn't seem to have any effect on his timid psyche -- his concern patently lies with the arm piece that caresses an unimpressive bicep. his assiduity, however, is pillaged by an entrant. he reluctantly glances up from his current occupation, inadvertently meeting the familiar gaze of a fellow classmate.

I'm no English teacher (and I certainly don't intend to purport to be), but I think it's important for roleplayers to understand that enhanced vocabulary is supposed to be a tool to better your writing, but it should not determine the overall quality of a particular piece. It's not meant to be a crutch. Quality should not be determined by how many big words you can aimlessly cram into a sentence, there should be a steady flow that rings true to the author. Author's tone has an incredible way of conveying intentions, and if you're dabbling into the thesaurus after every other word, it's clear that your intentions are to alienate, and to elevate yourself as a writer. Quality is determined by how well you portray your character given whatever material you have to base that character off of. Quality is determined by how well you can bring a character to life. Quality is determined by how well you can develop the mindset behind a particular action, and can trace it back to a particular event that established the character's conviction. 

That is certainly not to say that you should never use a thesaurus. Writing is a form of expression. It's encouraged that you breach your own boundaries, and explore different ways to explain similar scenarios. That's not the issue at hand. When you are entirely dependent on a thesaurus, or google search, etc, you're not accurately expressing yourself. Your writing begins to read like an academic essay, and it's clear that it's meant to confuse the people with which you are roleplaying. It is cause for a lot of misinterpretation between muses/muns, and it's unnecessary.

In short, say what you need to say. Get your point across. The fact that you can crack open a thesaurus every fifteen seconds doesn't make you any more intelligent than the people who use the term "smile" in lieu of "simper".

  closing the slight distance between the two of them with a light jog, Ferris’ brows pull forward in a mildly incredulous expression. why Cameron’s so wound up is beyond him. despite the fact that it’s just Cameron’s natural disposition. in order to deal with the situation, the slighter student continues at his pace, hand gripping at his companion’s elbow as he passes. his features shift from bemused to determined, eyes on their destination—- out the door. 

         ”c’mon, we’re late."

it’s his only response, as he power walks through the halls, tugging Cameron along behind him. he’s got big plans for today, and had Ms. Robinson not been such a hard case, they wouldn’t have to be rushing.

the obstinate Cameron Frye defiantly shakes from Ferris' grasp, cobalt orbs angrily probing his counterpart as he saunters toward the door. it isn't uncharacteristic of Ferris to be so blatantly blasé about Cameron's emotions, especially when it comes to Cameron's unprompted temper. digits furled into steeled fists, Cameron is patently resolute on staying where he is. he observes with minimal interest as Ferris proceeds toward the door----

----yet upon realizing that he isn't going to get the reaction he intends to elicit, Cameron exhales defeatedly, acquiescently trailing behind his departing companion, muttering profanities under his breath.

     ❝you're an asshole, you know that? a complete asshole. i don't know why the hell i bother with you in the first place. you couldn't give two shits about what i think ---- it's always about what Ferris wants, and i'm expected to just accept it for what it is.❞

he squints indignantly, imposing sunlight temporarily derailing him from his rant as he exits the establishment. a hand rises to his defense, endeavoring to hinder the sun from inflicting its sweltering wrath upon him---- unfortunately to no avail.

     ❝the least you can do is tell me where the hell we're goin'.❞

[camxronfrye-blog]

     ❝oh! oh, look who finally decides to show the hell up.❞

rage. rage has replaced his initial trepidation. it muddles the previously anxious expression he donned. so Ferris is still breathing. the very thought, as confounding as it may be, is enough to send a pang to Cameron's gut, though his temper is coddled by the likelihood of their being caught. he spares a cautious glance around before proceeding, hissing his reprimand in a menacing whisper.

     ❝are you outta your god damn mind? are you shittin' me,      Ferris? i've been sitting here, waiting around for you like an      asshole since second period. i thought i was gonna be      pinched for sure. where the hell were you?❞

COME BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Cameron. I’ve never left ‘back’."

[thefuturemrsbueller-deactivated]

 ❝Ah, I’ve just been cooped up—Never. You’re the coolest coward I know.❞

[camxronfrye-blog]

  ( an incredulous chuckle —— gaze flits to his feet, tips of his auricles growing warm. )

     ❝yeah, well. i’m brave enough to prance around       like a god damn prairie cat with the likes of ferris       bueller, i figure i can’t be that much of a coward.❞

John Hughes’ commentary: The closer he looks at the child, the less he sees…The more he looks at it, there’s nothing there and I think he fears that the more you look at him, the less you see—there isn’t anything there. That’s him.

Yeah but how do you move on from your dad?

          ❝It’s hard because he’s your whole world, right? Your              parents set the tone for every interaction you have              with people.     But that’s not really true. Parents              are always going to be a part of who you are, but              they aren’t everything. And they definitely can be              wrong. I got away. I found someone inside of me              that I want to be and stopped accepting who he              always told me I was. I don’t use him as a crutch              or an excuse. He’s a scar - I’m a lot more than that.❞ 

          ❝You move on by being more than just one person’s opinion of you.❞

     ❝haven’t seen you in a while. thought maybe      you finally realized you’re too cool to be seen      with a guy like me.❞

     ❝---- okay, i'm here, so you can cut the      crap now and tell me what the hell's going      on.❞

( so help him God if Ferris has coaxed him over here without reason yet again. )

  “ Y'know they got pills for folks like you, kid. “

[camxronfrye-blog]

     ❝no thank you. i've seen what pills can do       to people and i'm not interested. 'sides, my       old man would amputate my fingers if he found       out that i got my hands on something like that.❞

( if truth be told, Cameron isn't interested in anything medication has to offer---- as confounding as it seems, Cameron feels better when he is ill, and for reasons that constantly escape him. )

[camxronfrye-blog]

     ❝god... dammit!❞

( and, in the midst of his blind rage, he begins to throws his fists, allowing them to collide into whatever they may. )
