WHAT IS YOUR SPECIAL TALENT / SKILL AS A ROLEPLAYER?
I’m not really sure I have a special talent/skill as a roleplayer. Well, if I have to say something, I’d go with the fact I take great interest in what is not shown. I think every character, even the ones we know more about, can be developed beyond that. The characters we know less about appeal to me more because there’s so much room to work with them but also a place to start. So, more than take what we are given, I like to go deeper in what we don’t see - which is why most of my roleplays have a lot of inner thoughts. Take Myrcella, for example. We see her few times, from multiple characters perspectives, but we never get to see her own thoughts, and I think that makes all the difference. So, I’d say if I have any special talent, it would be that I like to understand why the character I play do the things it does in canon more than just accept they do it simply because they are like that, and also that I take more interest in figuring how their mind work. But I think everyone does that so yeah
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TYPE OF ROLEPLAY GENRE, AND WHY?
I like everything, really. I love cute threads, but I love to break my characters with angst too. Probably angst because it allows you to see a character in an unsettling situation, how they act facing that and how it can change them, even if only towards one specific situation or person; but also when it has a bigger impact. I like to vary, though - only one type of roleplaying, whatever it is, can get tiresome. Fluff and angst are my favorites, I think.
WHY DID YOU PICK YOUR MUSE?
There’s a lot of characters in ASOIAF that I love, and honestly, if I’d pick from my favorites I may have chosen a different character. As I’ve mentioned before, Myrcella gives me the opportunity to explore a character we know little about, though, and I got very interested in how much she would be like her family, how much she wouldn’t, and how much Dorne changes her views on things too. I don’t know exactly why, if it was just because of that interest or not, but for a couple days before I actually created the blog I just had so much muse for her - I thought it would go away, but it didn’t, so here we are.
IF YOU COULD WRITE ANY OTHER MUSE - BUT KNOW YOU DON’T HAVE THE MUSE FOR HIM / HER - WHO WOULD IT BE?
Well, in GoT it would be Margaery, ‘cause even if she does fit what I like to rp, being so full of interpretations and possibilities, I don’t think I could get her right. Other than that... Ginny Weasley - and a lot of other Harry Potter muses, actually. Also Rosalie Halle from Twilight judge me and Annie Cresta from THG, that I almost tried but gave up when I saw how many Annies there was already :’)
WHAT WOULD BE YOUR WARNING LABEL TO OTHER ROLEPLAYERS:
Probably would be that I don’t agree with the “None of her mother’s nature” quote - yes, they are very different,; no, she wouldn’t do a lot of things Cersei does - still, they do have things in common, so don’t expect her to be the opposite of her mother, because she is not;
Also that I’m super shy talking to others, so if I don’t answer your messages right away I probably don’t know what to say and am afraid to say something wrong :s
WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE VERSE OF YOUR MUSE?
I don’t have many verses yet, although I’ve been trying to come up with a Harry Potter and a vampire one (maybe a Skyrim one too), so basically my verses only vary in her age. So far, I like the main verse better.
WHAT CRACK!SHIPS DO YOU HAVE FOR YOUR MUSE?
Not many - I have no shipping threads so far, but if I was to talk about ships for her, Trystane&Myrcella and Robb&Myrcella both appeal to me a lot.
WHAT IS YOUR SENPAI BLOG FOR SOMEONE WHO PLAYS THE SAME MUSE AS YOU?
I don’t have one. Blogs with the same muse make me uncomfortable, simply because I start to question if I’m doing it right, if they are better and I get really nervous about it. I’ve abandoned a muse because of that, so now I just stay away.
ONE RANDOM FACT YOU WISH WAS A FACT BUT IT ISN’T:
I have always been sure what I wanted to do with my life and being anxious never messed up my plans.
