It kinda bums me when ppl look down on rpers. Some of the best metas I've ever read came from rpers. The best analysis of Ereshkigal I've come across came from rp & even convinced chaotic evil was the correct alignment for her
I'll +1 that, but I'll add a couple caveats.
It depends on the RPer: their personal interests in the character and that character's story might not necessarily be canon compliant. Some people really just wanna be degenerates and ERP weird scenarios with their OCs. Which is fine. That's a thing they're allowed to do. Others strive to understand the character because they're passionate about it, and they want to capture the things they love about a character. It's also possible to be both of these RPers at once, and that's okay, too. The RPer's intentions and motivations matter.
It depends on the RP: is it canon-compliant, canon-divergent, could-be-canon, AU, OOC, non-canon, or something else entirely? Are there OCs involved? The setting matters, and atop that the group dynamic matters. Is the RP group a serious or casual group? Is it both? How do they present themselves?
I think RPers get a bad rap as a result of RPers that operate OOC or non-canon presentations of a character without acknowledging that their RP isn't..."good" I guess? By "good" RP I mean "RP that a wider fandom community beyond RP would view as a faithful, genuine, and/or honest portrayal of a character or situation."
That doesn't mean "good" RP excludes humor and crack, either, because you can totally get good material out of that, too. But there's some degree of self-awareness and understanding that wider fandom communities would expect if someone was claiming their interpretation to be "good." If you are passionate about a character and have honest intentions in your portrayals, people will be more accepting when you RP humor or crack. But if you have only surface understanding, a larger audience will probably not be happy if you present yourself as a "good" RPer.
This is my take on it since I RP privately and write publicly. Feel free to add your own thoughts onto this, and share what you guys think. I'm interested in your thoughts. This is a cccoooOOOOOOL subject.
I’m responsible for the cringe use of Vio calling Y/N “gattino/a” as an affectionate nickname!
But there’s a reason aside from my HC of him as Italian! XD I also haven’t drawn a while more exploring of that HC since obviously, lacking research and this is something I’ve done to spitball in my free time!
How the nickname “Gattino” came to be is inspired from the Pixar movie: Inside out.
There was the scene where the mother of the MC had a memory where there was a hot Brazilian pilot line who told her in a cheesy line: “Come fly with Me, Gatinha”
I thought that’d be the kind of vibes Vio would be, just need to change the Brazilian Portuguese to the Italian equivalent and voila!
The reason why it’s a masculine instead of feminine Gattina is because it was originally meant to be targeted towards the NB/male YN so the gender term is on me but I also remembered that I’m not paid for this~
I didn’t actually intend for this HC to reach the international speaking audience this far, I know it only works on those who didn’t know any more than English such as myself xD
Hence,,, adding to the advantage that Vio knows that speaking a foreign language is attractive to people even if it’s wrong in usage~!!
So for me here, it’s not a matter of it being correct, it’s if it’s in-character for this sleaze!
Besides Vio doesn’t have the emotional maturity and vulnerability to be that sickly sincere in his nicknames.
In short: Hardly a sense of a romantic bone in his body! He initially did it to taunt the Y/N but couldn’t change it because he’s grown used to it even when he does start to feel an inch of attachment ^^
Peter on the other hand, would definitely use that correct information as a nickname for his Italian-speaking Y/N, drawing another difference between him and Vio as the foil!
If Y/N has become on the same level as to Lucy’s tho, he might come to calling them Micio/Micia~
God I love a good sparknotes discussion 💖 and peeps should also do a bit of digging too before giving credit to someone else for a cringe HC lolol
P.S. I told peeps I can make things educational~
I’m getting roasted indirectly so y’all can get the right information from the right people! 🫰✨
