That Tricky Rogue @tricksteryou - Tumblr Blog

((OOC:

So, I am contemplating deleting this account. I don’t ever get to role-play on here and just generally feel….I don’t know…not unwanted, but unnecessary. People here are awesome and nice to follow and read up on so that’s something I really appreciate, but I don’t feel like anyone is interested in playing with me. Now I have a couple theories as to thy this may be and some explanations.

#1. The most likely reason- I am not a good role-player

This is unfortunate because I know I can be a good writer when I get someone to challenge me to do better, or I just get very into mindset of the characters I am writing for. It appears to me, however, I’d had a difficult time channeling my muse here. This is likely due to the fact that I am unwittingly ignorant to an extent as to the inner-workings of my own muse. I have made, and am continuing to make efforts to alleviate this ignorance though and present a better, more complex, Axel. This becomes increasingly difficult though when I have no one but myself to expand the character with. That said, its ultimately my own fault. I knew a morsel of information about Axel when I made the account and wanted to learn more, but have failed to do so in a productive way.

#2 Another possibly likely reason- People really hate Axel the character that much

In which case there really is no hope for me, because the only way I can see getting around that would be to go completely off character and create a congenial, generous, happy-go-lucky Axel that would basically be a sell-out.

So now this is where I stand- Asking for help

In the case that I am just not up to par as a role-player (which I believe is likely to be more than accurate) what suggestions/exercises/sell my soul for talent ideas does anyone have to make me better? I really enjoy the medium here for roleplaying and don’t want to give up on it, but at the same time I don’t want to frustrate/get frustrated for not receiving a good roleplay experience.

If anyone would care to help, I’d really appreciate it.))

(( I’m not sure if it will help, but what I did when I first made Evan was I went to a few Character Development blogs and did some of the exercises to get kind of in the groove for writing. It gave me something to do and helped me think of ways to create starters until I could interact more because I’m very very shy. I still struggle to make starters and the like, or I’d offer to help in that sense, but you’re free to poke Evan anytime you want, dear. uwu

((Thank you, I'm gonna check that out and work on it. (and I'd love to poke Ev sometime, haha ))

OOC: A little experiment

So, I was just talking with a friend of mine, and I came to a realization. We were talking about RP stuff, and specifically about our respective characters. As we were talking, I began to realize that there was a lot of my friend in the character she plays. This led me to wonder something, and eventually form a little thought.

So here’s my idea:

I want everyone to reblog this and tell the reason they chose their character. Now I don’t mean “because I thought the character was cool” or something like that. That’s self explanatory. I feel like everyone has a deeper reason for picking the character they did. Just to get the ball rolling, I’ll start with mine.

I chose Deathstroke because, honestly, there are a lot of aspects about him that I aspire to become. He’s strong, fast, brave. He’s the best and he knows it. You mention his name in any crowd, and everyone knows and respects who you’re talking about.

So let’s hear yours!

I chose to play Barry Allen because at the heart of it, he’s the type of man I want to be; the type of father I hope to be one day to my own kids. My dad was never around, and my childhood was rough to say the least, I’d like to provide something stable, while always being supportive and nurturing much like he is. I don’t care for the looks or smarts, both would be a huge bonus because yeah he’s attractive, but I want to strive to simply be a good man like he is.

I sometimes question my choice to play Axel because of my limited exposure and understanding of him. But from what I do know, Axel seems to be like me in a few respects. He is young, impressionable, and tends to flutter from one group to another in an effort to find himself. I have a strong sense of my self in some aspects but there is still a lot I'm trying to find in myself. I connected with Axel in that way.

OOC: I think part of the problem might be the format. You’re not yet used to tumblr, and really, it does take some time.

Another part is the fandom. They have a tendency to disclude people who haven’t been here for a long time, for whatever reason. Since it’s a smaller fandom, it’s more cliquish and exclusive, and that much I don’t know how to fix.

OOC: The format is another hurdle I've been learning to deal with. I feel like I've achieved a much better understanding of how tumblr works, but I do see myself sometimes posting or saying things that are more on my mind than on my muses. Definitely something I need to work on more.

I appreciate the defense too. Personally, I don't think of it as very clique-ish anymore (i used to, I admit it) As I've been around and observed more and more it seems like peoples interaction stems beyond just their muses and and people seem to develop personal bonds and investments. I think that's good because people should feel comfortable and confident with who they're playing with. That said, I wonder if one reason I'm having some trouble is because it's almost like making a new friend, not just with the muses, but with the player themselves too, I understand the hesitation when there may be some.

Thanks for the advice :)

Truly, Madly, Deeply will always belong to Savage Garden to me and not one fucking direction.

#truly madly deeply savage garden

I think I am literally dying of boredom tonight.

I'm gonna stay up all night tonight.

frigidandsharp replied to your post: So once again, I sit in alone on a Saturday night....

The household has two, though the black one might gut you if you come near her.

This does not help my situation. /pouts

And another thing...

fuck microwaves.....just sayin

So once again, I sit in alone on a Saturday night. Like an old maid. The worst part about this is I'm not allowed to have seven fat smelly cats to keep me company and complete the picture.
