Beyond a Fire's Embers

It sounds like you can just try and help, maybe that's all you can do, maybe in time it won't be so hard for her? I kind of see where she's coming from but at the same time, I see where you're coming from and how frickin' frustrating it can be. Would it help you if she talked to you more about the "blocks" she's having or are gonna leave it as is?

Yes a fort and Bob's Burgers. That sounds like a good plan to me. I'm glad they added more. About time, man.

Beyond a Fire's Embers

I hope it goes well, I'm sure she wants you to be happy and comfortable. ^_^

I'm sorry about all this, if I could build you a blanket fort I would. Maybe the weekend will make things turn around for the better~?

If you enjoy both, that's even better but sometimes (I've found) when people make two threads, it's said up front each writer prefers x/y thread over y/x thread but I'm glad that's not the case since it makes things less complicated.

But you need to tell her what's up! She's clearly not taking a hint so just tell her you want more love in the second thread, it doesn't need to be emotional or anything, just a gentle nudge might be helpful for them. Say you like both but feel like she's constantly dragging her feet with the other thread, maybe due to lack of confidence or comfort but that you want more progress? Would that be possible?

Have you tried talking to her about how you're more doing the first one for her and how the second one is more your cup of tea? I've found if writers do make two threads it's usually because both people favor them differently and if that's the case, it's better to be honest about it so that both interests are being served fairly. She should know you like the second one and that it's unfair of her to write less one something she agreed to do.

Being upset is understandable and favoritism is petty. It's tiring to be in a cycle of excrement and then annoyed and then upset, she should know that what she's doing is making you uncomfortable and that you're not obligated to keep up with the first thread, but you're doing it out of politeness and friendship and that she should be doing the same, for the second one, if nothing else. If you wanna keep both going, you should do so under the agreement that you both favor the opposite but should strive to give both the same attention/effort or it's an arrangement that's only gonna get worse and continue to hurt feelings/expectations and I don't want that happening to you. :/

Fuck that, that's why two threads is a no-no. One will be loved more and someone is gonna get upset and just hearing that pisses ME off. That's some stupid bullshit right there. If she's struggling with RP #2, just suggest dropping it or changing it so it's not so low on her list of stuff to do. You're invested in both and she's not. That's not fair to you AT ALL. There's no reason why she's keeping you on the hook and going at a snails pace. Has the slow second thread been going on for a while or is there any chance she'll get into a better "groove"?

As your friend, I say drop the second one because if they're not into it, it's no use forcing it. It's stupid she agreed to do it in the first place but someone has gotta own up and say it's not working out. Or you need to say she's being unfair and to try harder to give posts the same attention because ya know, adults should be able to communicate issues or at least scale back one RP if the other needs more care and attention.

That's really a shit situation, I can see why you're upset. You took a risk and she's not giving you the same effort and what's worse is that she can't even tell there's an issue.

I mean, if I see an issue with us, I try to resolve it. If you're not happy, I'm not happy and then our RP and friendship suffer.

Adults fix problems. Your partner needs to see there's a problem and fix it or you should go back to one thread if you can. Juggling two is tricky and the other person clearly doesn't get how hard it is to do two with one person, it's like putting more of your heart on the line to make two awesome stories and then one suffers. It shouldn't suffer, a posting routine should develop but clearly it's not and it means you have to put up with more crap and stress/worry/grief and that's emotional crap no one needs. :(

I've had that happen to me so I understand the feeling. I hope you can try to make amends and not deal with that because it's doing you more harm than good. *hugs tightly* If you give me their address, I'll go leave a bag of dog poo in their mailbox cause you know, that's the right answer when you step back and think about it XD

Cherry Blossoms Under the Silver Sky

I do like Petyr. I'm kind of over Jamie though. I don't think we get to see Bran or Hordor this season...?

Jon is a bit eh for me but rewatching some old episodes, he's at least better than Robb. I am hoping we get more of Theon since his comeback is supposedly pretty good, after the whole Reek thing. I also wanna see Arya more, and of course Tyrion.

I still miss Ned and Cat and Joffrey... >__>

Cherry Blossoms Under the Silver Sky

No one is ever safe in GoT but I am kind of over Dany already. I hear this might be a Sansa-season so...I may have to quit watching. ^^;

Beyond a Fire's Embers

Really? *hugs tight* I'm sorry to hear that. Rain after some good weather can really be a downer, I hope it's clearing up though.

I'm sorry to hear about that partner, if you need to vent or ramble or anything, I am here for you. We can talk shit or whatever you need. ^^

Beyond a Fire's Embers

Thanks, how've you been doing? ^^;

If you wanna call or anything, I've got time today.

Orphan Black

I may be up for something, depending on the plot.
