Mun questions: 3, 10, 26, 28, 38, 54, 55, 60
3. What’s something you like about how you write?
I really dig dialogue and think I’ve gotten a pretty good handle of both Loki’s voice in conversation and his internal voice as a narration element. It’s a pretty delicate balance of quick adaptation and Asgardian holdovers, but it’s really fun to write and I love the challenge.
10. What’s the hardest thing for you to write?
Smut. I can do it, and have before, but ninety percent of it is just me sitting here with a puzzled look on my face trying to determine where exactly all the limbs are going. Second to that would probably be long blocks of description, because I’m still smacking my head against the wall trying to show not tell.
26. What’s a ship you really like rping?
MageneticsFrostiron. Which is interesting, because that’s really my reigning OTP, and I don’t actually have any of it on this blog. I just really dig the dynamic Tony tends to have with Loki (not to mention the freaking dialogue that is always golden) and the fact that they can very easy serve as each other’s foil.No but seriously Magenetics though.
28. What do you like about roleplaying angst?
What do I not like about roleplaying is the real question here am I right?Don’t get me wrong; I love fluff. Fluff makes me so freaking happy. But angst is what really pushes muses to their limits and shows what they’re made of. It’s where I learn a lot about Loki, and it fucking hurts, man, but pain defines happiness like darkness defines light, and without that pain the happy times just don’t feel as precious.But mostly I just like seeing Loki and other muses beaten into submission by agonizing pain and it makes my heart all fluttery and shit.
38. Has a roleplayer ever changed your view on a character? If so, how? Good or bad? For better or for worse?
*Cough Kristy cough* No, but seriously, I really didn’t have that much interest in Erik at all originally. If it weren’t for the SHIELDBang group I would have never struck up a thread with a Magneto blog, but damn am I glad that I did. Erik is a fascinating character and she plays him remarkably thoroughly no matter what crazy AU or plot idea I throw at her. She’s rekindled my love of all things X-Men, started me shipping things I never imagined I would, and holy shit do I adore Erik as a character now.
54. What’s a trope or plot you love but you’ve never gotten to roleplay or never gotten to roleplay in completion?
OKAY SO I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO PICK JUST ONE BECAUSE DUMB OVERDONE TROPES AND ALL OF THE AU’S MAKE ME REALLY HAPPY I JUST LOVE AU’S. I’d still kill for a thread with a Steve or Sam blog where someone sees through all the crazy alien prince shit and realizes that Loki’s really, at the heart of it, a soldier who doesn’t know how to adjust to life after the warzone.Also this idea because it gives me life.
55. What do you like to do as you reply to threads? Listen to music? Have TV on? Complete silence? Dark room? etc.
I’ve gotta have music on for anything I’m working on, be it writing, art, or otherwise, and RP is no exception. There’s no one real soundtrack I use, just whatever fits the mood of what I’m working on or whatever I’m digging at the time. Right now it’s been a lot of electro swing and glitch hop.
60. Who’s a roleplayer (or writer) you think you have learned a lot from?
heiswildfire aka iidunn is more or less the reason I got back into RP, at which point I was a Tony Stark blog and we had an awesome Asgard Berserker AU going, so overall I’ll have to say they’re my biggest influence. I wanted to jump in for a good year before that but never had the courage to take the plunge. Tumblr why the hell do you insist tags go on separate lines now stop being dumb
