🍫: In which ways do they deal with being lovesick?

Leon: Poorly. Leon doesn’t really feel in half-measures, it’s pretty much a binary thing, so when he misses someone, he misses them. Especially @pinpep, since he has a paranoid fear that one day he’ll be approached by Alynore again, wearing that somber face and trailing another officer a step behind her...

Mostly, he tries to temper this by calling his wives just to hear their voices, or by running errands to distract himself and let time pass. Once in a great, great while he might try to meditate, but he hasn’t been very good at that for quite some time. He should probably ask @vembermarlon about that someday.

Terry:

Fortunately for him, Terry and @shedwyn are battle buddies and are rarely apart for very long. While Dwyn was still bringing herself back up to spec, so to speak, and Terry was out on the field, he devoted a lot of time and energy to writing. He taught himself Suramarian elvish as a way to keep his mind busy (after picking up enough to caveman-speak his way through a mean, mean undercover mission), and the assignments he gave himself gave him an excuse to practice his prose. Basically, he wrote love poems that he didn’t share with Dwyn until much, much later.

He still works on the language during downtime, but it’s less of a dire need as long as Dwyn is already near him.

( @shckaewynn for mention also)

🎃 OC in a costume they’d wear for Halloween - Elaianna (bonus with Nerina)

Fisherman and Murloc!

Yes. Dressing up as a commoner counts as a costume for Anna.

Is there some element you regret adding to Gin or her story?

As a whole, no. Everything I’ve added to her or her story has made her who she is today, and I love my idiot. There are things I didn’t necessarily add to her that just kind of happened that sometimes - yeah - I regret. For example, she is a very unlucky worgen that gets shot at for no reason, but I’ve learned to roll with it (so long as you communicate OOC with me).

On occasion, I do regret making her seem stand-offish at first, but then I don’t get the people that actually stick around to get to know the Gilnean underneath all that booze. (Call out post time @terrick-ebonsteed, @areniaagn, @brashtide-menace, @jazimina, @dunnedinsniper, @naitdresden, @lyistelleebonsteed, @lucentlycanthrope, @marlett, @wiedaashcroft, @mally-the-gladiator, @boilingheart…and many more as well as the Tumblrless Aldai and Fizzrikk. You all write/have written very important people in Gin’s life - good or bad - and I appreciate you very much for letting my idiot cherish your muses in her life. ♥️ )

So, no. As a whole, I don’t regret anything I’ve added to Gin or her story. It is what makes Gin…Gin.

Of all the people on this server...you are one that I truly and unequivocally respect. You have a quiet calm about you and it comes through your writing and RP. I've said it before and I will probably keep saying it for a long time: You are wonderful. I have been witness to your RP and seen the care you took to plan an event. Your OOC commentary is always spot on and ICly your characters are interesting and complex. Thank you for writing no matter the subject.

I would be a liar were I to say that there were not moments I just wanted to stop altogether. There are times like today when civility seems more a mirage than anything else… but then I remember that, you know what, it does not matter where you go or what you do — you will always have people who enjoy tearing others down. I wish I knew why, you know? I wish I could understand that impulse. If I have slighted someone, I wish they would come to me and tell me. I will not be upset – in fact, I will work with them to help resolve the situation. Constructive criticism is more than welcome — because it makes me better both as a writer, and as a person.

I try to bring civility and common sense into heated OoC situations, because: 1. I do not like vitriolic discourse, 2. Vitriolic discourse does nothing but tear communities apart, 3. Everyone — and I don’t care how small or large a guild is, how popular a person is or not — every single person on this server has something to contribute to the larger community, and 4. I only want to see this larger, server-wide community be successful.

What is the sense in sniping at people anonymously or shouting ad hominem attacks in the midst of a civil discussion or ‘harassing people off the server’ when we could all just take a step back, breathe slow and deep, examine the conflict from all sides, and come to a compromise? I am not saying it is easy in the least; in fact, compromise is incredibly difficult and requires a level of maturity of which every single person here is capable, but may have not yet achieved. Not everyone can be happy – such a condition is impossible given the way group dynamics function – but that does not mean we cannot work within a framework wherein we at least respect our peers.

However, that respect, it must be reciprocal. If a person anonymously insults a friend of mine, I’ll stand up for my friend. Perhaps it is not constructive discourse, but I am unsure of other tacks. If this makes me a lapdog, so be it – arf, arf, motherfucker! – but I’d rather be a loyal friend than someone who throws a person they care about under the bus. Keep our actual characters’ assassinations in-game and consensual, thanks.

A story is more important, always more important, than its storytellers. The RP is always greater than the people involved, always. These are not words I say, they are words I mean, and I hope it shows in the discourse I use and encourage.

And so, thank you for your words, @jazimina … I am heartened in the knowledge that the care I show for my friends is evident, the planning and investiture my cohort and I sink into our stories is appreciated, and that my well-wishes for the server are genuine.

Let’s keep on writing, keep on moving forward, keep on reading each others’ works – but, most of all – move toward a more civil space where we can all participate in the larger discourse, where all of our stories matter, and where every single writer on this server has an equal voice.

If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be?

“I would force the Alliance and the Horde to sit down and to settle their differences once and for all,” Archelaos stated with a firm nod, “I could say that I would stop the Burning Legion from invading, but let’s be honest here, we’d run into another crises as soon as this one is solved. Fighting them together, without any hidden agendas or extremists on either side, we would be unstoppable. It’d divided that we fall, where united we could save a lot of lives... It wouldn’t be easy, of course, but this is all hypothetical. That’s what I would change about the world.”

How far would you go to keep the one you love?

Ryss thought of her parents, of Mace....she was not a strong person by traditional means. She couldn’t fight, hold a sword, but she was passionate and caring. “I’d give up everything I have to save the ones that I love. My tea shoppe, every fine thing I own, I’d send it to ashes if it meant saving the ones that I loved...but I know that’s not practical and that I will someday have to fight to save those I care for...suppose I have some learning to do.”
