Really Long Goodbye Post
Hey everyone, it was great getting to know most of you during my time here. Sadly, I ran into some real-life issues (just my job needing me to stay over like 2-3 hours every day because I’m the only one actually working in my department these days), and I was removed without the possibility of coming back.Â
To be honest though, it’s probably for the best. As lovely as a lot of you are, there are some members that made it hard to stay on here. People who didn’t like that I didn’t write my character a certain way or instantly make him fall in love with his endgame partner. Because I wanted to actually develop my character before launching them at someone else’s and just forcing them together despite incompatible writing/story-telling styles and the other person’s inability to contribute plotting ideas. I was called a bully, told that I make people uncomfortable, and treated like I was an idiot when I followed the rules as were stated and spoke to the admins rather than carry out a fight in public forums like an angry 14-year old on Facebook.Â
Not being able to come back has actually lifted a huge weight from my chest and I feel so much less stress. So, thanks Moxie, for making me uncomfortable and then telling me I needed to suck it up and deal with it because I am apparently horrible and my feelings are less than yours and your friends’. Thank you, Marie, for all your hard work on the RP, which I always appreciated, but also thank you for having someone come at me for you, lie to me and say you were going to approach me about it (I know you weren’t, and I have the proof for it). I really loved all your passive-aggressive responses and your defensiveness, which carried on even after I was kicked out of the rpg and just asked an innocent question on if I could re-apply (just needed a yes/no answer, not a rundown of why you think I’m a shitty roleplayer). Oh, and thank you to the Penelope player, who just ignored me because I didn’t think it made sense for my awkward, stand-offish character to just blindly kiss someone at a masquerade ball. I’m sorry that I wanted a slow burn ship, and you decided that it was either quickly together or nothing.Â
Don’t get me wrong. I thoroughly enjoyed a lot of you. You guys were amazing, and I think once the clique problem is taken care of, once egos are checked and the tyranny ended, then this is really gonna be such an amazing and welcome group.
Oh, and for anyone that doesn’t know, I was accused of bullying Marie in the OOC blog. I looked back at the posts, and I actually never made fun of Adrian’s character. I made fun of my own character’s responses to him. But I guess Marie didn’t find it funny, Moxie got mad at me for it... I had no idea what was going on, but it was very clear this was something they had gossiped and talked about for quite some time. Despite how uncomfortable I was, despite being told that I was a terrible person and a bully who was now being ridiculous for daring to have my own emotions, I decided to just do what I was told. But I really haven’t been welcome here for the last month. So there’s the full story.Â
If you want to stay here, just make sure to compliment Moxie and Marie a lot. Make sure to be nice to them as much as possible and praise Adrian and Aurora as the flawless king and queen of this roleplay. They’ll love you, let you break and bend some rules. If you’re looking for an open place though, let me just remind you that a modern Greek rp idea is not a new or original idea, and you have other options. You don’t have to bow down to an admin. The players make the rpg, not the other way around.Â
So, with that in mind, please check out Teagan’s new roleplay here: https://onceuponamyth-rp.tumblr.com/. I actually haven’t joined it, and I might not just because I need a break after having to deal with this one, but Teagan played Eric Dupoint/Eros here. She’s been a very good friend of mine for the last 6 1/2 years and has run several successful rpgs. Since her character was a close friend of Adrian’s and Aurora’s, she never experienced their muns’ hostility, but she witnessed it with me before I even was confronted, along with several other players, and she’s passionate about making groups a fair and welcome place for everyone, not just who’s close friends with the main admin.Â
Good luck, everyone. :) I’m done with this blog, but I have other projects going. If you have questions, want hardcore evidence of what I’m saying (because I am Whitney Houston and I always need receipts) then feel free to reach out to hermit-the-human.tumblr.com and I can clarify further. If you want to post hate to my blog, that’s fine as well. I can’t promise a response, because I’m just kind of over being angry about this.Â
