2, 3, & 10 -15 (( give me the salt bun ))
█ ▌▐ Munday Asks: Salt Edition || @hybridblues
I’m a little late to these but yes, of course: Bun will give you the salt. So here we go.
2. What are your unpopular opinion(s) of the fandom you’re rping in?
There are a few, to be honest. For one, I’m not a fan of romantic josuyasu. I love their friendship too much to twist it into romance. I can see it, but a lot of what I’ve seen of it isn’t portrayed in a way that I care for and honestly sometimes it turns me away from the possibility completely. The way people portray Okuyasu bugs me severely. I hate to tell you, but there’s far more to his character than being a dumb boyfriend type. Literally everything else is super important to who he is and there is so much underneath to point I don’t understand how you’d ignore it in favor of the dumb stereotype. That’s why he’s one of, if not my favorite character in the fandom period. I also don’t like Jotakak for the same reason – primarily because of Kakyoin’s portrayal in what seems like every form of it. You’re allowed to play a character however you’d like, and I’m never gonna judge somebody for doing what they want and feel comfortable with. But for me, personally, I don’t like super, SUPER soft Kakyoin. I like the odd side of him, and the fact that he’s also extremely rough around the edges is part of why I liked his character so much. I don’t view him as young Jotaro level of asshole, but I also don’t see him as super sensitive or emotional. And I DEFINITELY don’t see him as a huge bottom guy, either. That’s just me, though.
There’s probably more in my mind somewhere but honestly those are the things that came to me first because those character portrayals in ships and in general aren’t my favorite.
3. What rp trends are you so over and can’t wait for it to die?
Honestly I don’t really have any, but feeling like I have to format everything and fit in with the trends of today makes me extremely anxious all the time. I can’t pick an aesthetic or a trend and honestly it’s as frustrating as much as it is concerning. It’s a bad habit but I like to live to please people most of the time when it comes to writing and appearing quality, so I tend to swap and change my styles a lot depending on other people. Call it a BPD habit where I pick up other people’s workings and kinda use them like a personality. I want to feel like I can just do small text or something pleasing to the eye that’s simple and not have to worry about anything else. Like back in the day no one even used small text, and I’ve basically been around since Tumblr first existed. Everything’s a lot different now and honestly trying to adapt to it each and every time is difficult. Otherwise though, I’m not really wanting any one trend to die that badly.
10. Any fandom(s) you don’t want to rp in or crossover to?
Not really?? Some of them kinda weird me out/make me uncomfortable but honestly I haven’t been approached by any fandom I’m not comfortable with yet. If I don’t like something I’m not going to approach anyone in that fandom anyway. So as of right now, none that are relevant to me at this time.
11. Are you for or not for purple prosing?
Do whatever the hell you want, man. For real. I personally love getting descriptive and going in depth. It does eventually hit a limit and get overzealous but typically I don’t see that being done. Most people don’t go that crazy. Basically I think there is a limit where it starts being too much, but I feel it’s difficult to reach that point for most. Whether you write ten thousand paragraphs with super complex words or stick with the simple, sweet, and to the point replies – you’re chill with me. Be flowery or plain or somewhere in between; I don’t care. I love ya no matter what.
12. Has someone in the rp community ever made you upset/cry?
Yes. Oh God, yes. Many times. It’s even happened in this community already and I haven’t even been here all that long. I’m a very sensitive person. Small things that may not even have anything to do with me will make me upset if my brain lets me think they’re directed at me. I’ve most definitely been upset and nearly thrown off this site multiple times since I’ve been RPing here, and often it’s lead to crying and being upset. Not fun.
13. Ever told someone not to follow/rp with a particular person because something that happened to you in the past?
I will literally never tell someone not to follow somebody else. I’m also never going to tell someone to choose between me and someone else, regardless of what that person has done or is doing. I might warn them and let them know what they’ve done to me in the past so they can make their own choices. I might be uncomfortable seeing things related to another person or not approve of who/what they do, but it’s not in my place to tell people what they can and can’t do. You don’t “police” people in this community. I don’t care WHAT the topic at hand is or WHAT they did to me. Of course I might be upset or feel betrayed but let’s be real here: you can’t control people. They’re gonna do whatever they want. It’s not right to tell people to choose. If it makes you that uncomfortable to be friends with someone who speaks with someone else, then that’s okay. Keep yourself safe. You have every right to distance yourself if need be if someone makes you uncomfortable. But in my opinion, shunning a friend you’ve known forever because they speak to someone you don’t like is silly. Of course there are exceptions to that for more sensitive topics, but in general I think it’s silly.
14. Ever knew someone that everyone loves but you can’t stand?
It isn’t in the RP community ( at least not anymore ) so idk if this is relevant enough to even talk about or not, but yes. As you all know, I’m an avid fan of W.orld of W.arcr.aft. I’ve been playing since late Cataclysm. I started raiding real progression around Hellfire Citadel in WoD. Our guild leader at the time, who we called Z, was a HUGE DICK to me the entire time I was there. He constantly complained about my DPS ( which, by the way, I constantly beat one of the people he praised a lot. apparently that didn’t mean shit ), told people I was a bitch, and threw a fit any time my best friend Acorn refused to go to do things unless I was also invited. Me and him are very close and I love Acorn to pieces. He was a great healer then, and the only one who could put up with Z’s shitty paladin tanking. Eventually his bullshit dissolved the guild we were in and he put all the blame of him leaving on me and Acorn – mainly myself. Everyone took his side, saying shit like “well he’s actually done things for the guild and you’re just kinda here” and “well you’re a bitch cause he said you’re a bitch”. Um, no. That’s NOT how this works. I literally did nothing to the guy. He was just a huge emotional twat. Come to find out he treated me like shit because, APPARENTLY, he felt like I was cock-blocking him from Acorn and he REALLY WANTED Acorn’s dick. Seriously, that’s it. It was fucking stupid and literally everyone loved and supported him anyway. He fucked them over later after he merged with another guild and ruined both as well. Suffice to say, anyone who believed his bullshit deserved to get stabbed in the back like I did. I’m not even sorry for saying that. Fuck them. They literally treated me like garbage because someone told them to - and without any proof of my “bitchy behavior and shitty DPS”, to boot. I hate mob mentality so much you literally have no fucking idea.
15. Have you ever done something out of spite?
Who hasn’t??? I don’t even know if I can think of any super specific examples but I’m SURE everyone at some point has done something to spite someone else. I’m not proud of the petty shit that I’ve done, but I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t done any of it.
