Insecurity.
Here’s something I’m not getting. If YOU are insecure, and YOU think everyone is out to get you, why are you putting that on other people?
It’s really crappy to come on here and see people actually telling their followers not to follow duplicates of their characters, or not to follow other oc’s with the same face claim.
Like why would you even put that guilt on someone else is beyond me, when they arent the one with the issue.
If you have that issue, let me just remind you that you.
1. are being extremely selfish.
and
2. you did not CREATE, INVENT, NOR DRAW this character.
It is ridiculous to feel insecure or even better, THREATENED by someone rping as the same muse. And the funniest part of it is? Its people rping MAIN STREAM CHARACTERS who are pulling this crap!
If you’re an oc, it’s fair to say “don’t copy my story/ideas” because oc ideas can be really hard to come up with. That goes unsaid. But when you use a faceclaim that you didnt personally create yourself, you have no right to attack or even tell people not to use your face claim.
That’s crazy.
That is literally INSANE.
You cannot own something you did not create.
I don’t own Yuna, but hell, if another Yuna followed me and I liked her blog, you can bet I would hop right onto rping with her. That would be hella fun, if you ask me.
And another issue?
Having insecure friends who force their partners to being exclusive to them ONLY.
That ruins the fun for everyone. Every person has a different way of writing their muse. My Yuna is way different from another persons Yuna, because the way I write Yuna is filtered through my brain. Where as another persons Yuna muse is filtered through their brain. It all comes out different and no one is actually COPYING someone else for having the same character.
Do you know how infuriating and frustrating it is trying to have threads with people who play these games? Do you know how it feels to be on the receiving END of someone badgering me on skype or aim saying “DON’T RPING WITH THAT OTHER PERSONS MUSE.. BE EXCLUSIVE TO ME!!”
The guilt is bullshit, and it’s crap that you’re insecure and flat out possessive of a fictional character enough to GUILT someone into feeling bad for talking to someone else with the same muse.
Quite frankly, I’m tired of this shit.
Rping here used to be so much fun, but now I log in and see all this petty crap everywhere and it’s a real turn off.
Which massively sucks, cause A LOT OF YOU who I, and mutually follow seem like really amazing writers.
I know a lot of you guys get this sort of shit too, so I’m not speaking just from my own personal experience. I have lots of friends who also feel this way, and I am sure there are many others who do as well.
If we could all just get along and co-exist, maybe all of you would be able to fucking chill and write, like you’re supposed to on here, instead of getting wigged out and causing drama everywhere.
I’m 24 years old IRL. I don’t need this kind of shit from people in their late teens and early twenties.
If you’re insecure about your writing, that’s fine. Maybe you should watch this video and try to learn to overcome it.
There is really no reason at all to make your followers and friends feel like crap for enjoying someone else who has the same muse. I have played with numerous Tidus’s on here, EACH one of them completely different in their portrayal. Same with the various Clouds, Aeriths, Squalls, ect ect ect that I have bumped into over the years.
You all write your muses in a unique way. Because your muse is filtered through your own brain, and guess what.
There is only ONE you in the entire world. Which makes YOU special as well as the way you portray your muse.
My main point is, don’t make people feel bad and please, stop trying to make people feel bad for following duplicates. I almost feel bad for even using the word duplicate here, seeing as there is no original, other than the actual character that was actually created by the respective companies that produced them.
Thanks for reading or not reading. idgaf.
