Post a random fact about yourself.

I drunkenly purchased 250 stickers that say “Jeffry Epstein Didn’t Kill Himself” on Amazon and I’m gonna put them all over this cursed city that I live in.

I feel like my last post went to a pretty dark place sorry guys. A fun fact about me is that I often overshare without immediately realizing it and then it just makes everyone uncomfortable.

Post a random fact about yourself.

When I was younger I wanted to get married and have a big family. I love kids, they’re pretty awesome sometimes. But now the idea terrifies me. First of all, I feel like I’m too poor to raise a child even with my partner’s help. Second, with my family history of mental illness and addiction, and my partner’s family history of cancer, I would not feel right having biological children. Third, I don’t think I’m mentally stable enough to deal with the stress of raising a child, after raising two puppies and nearly losing my shit at some of their antics I can only imagine how difficult it would be for me to handle myself when it comes to being beholden to an actual human child. You can’t crate train kids, after all. My number 1 biggest fear is having a lapse in judgment, deciding to have a kid or go through with a surprise pregnancy, and later resenting that child/my family to the point I abandon it. Which would make me a terrible person and I’d probably hate myself for the rest of my life or try to end my life.

A lot of people have told me that I’ll “change my mind” when I’m older (ironic since it was actually the opposite, I used to want kids and now I don’t), but honestly with the kind of lifestyle I want to live (minimalist and lots of travel) I cannot see a future in which I could be truly happy with children. Maybe when I’m old and settled, I could foster a couple kids and help them get a better start to life, but I really truly do not want a traditional family lifestyle. Parenting is really important, and not everyone is cut out for it, and I’m not going to risk the wellbeing of a child if I’m not 110% sure that I want that child and can give it the best life possible.

@HaleyTheRandom That’s a hell of an origin story. I was just a regular “oops we forgot the birth control” accident. My parents never wanted kids, but my mom had me and I was the most fucking delightful baby ever so she decided to have another one. My little sister refused to turn in the womb so mom had to have a c-section, and it was such a terrible experience that she also got her tubes tied because she never wanted to go through that again. My sister continues to be as stubborn and difficult as she was pre-birth to this very day.

How do you feel about the level of character diversity you’ve experienced?

@Odin It’s really just about preference, I think. There’s nothing wrong with beautiful characters. My take is that everyone makes beautiful characters and it’s just gotten boring for me.

I decided I’m only going to RP ugly characters from now on. I’m tired of every RP character being model-perfect.

How do you feel about the level of character diversity you’ve experienced?

Bye only being ugly, awkward, lovable characters from now on.

If you're beautiful irl though, it's all you know

@POOHEAD189

U know I can relate to this ;o

Also, I am very much guilty of ^^^^, because I get all my FCs from high fashion models who are usually considered good-looking (or at least interesting-looking) in some way

@ayzrules

Oh I am 100% guilty too don’t get me wrong. It just never really occurred to me before that I could or would want to do make a character that wasn’t attractive less than visually perfect.

The plainer/uglier the cast, the better the RP, every time, without fail. The ugliness directly improves immersion a lot because it builds a world where people look like people and not everyone is a 10/10 demigod Adonis, but it's also a big green flag: the players willing to suffer a little in the sex appeal dept. are almost always also giving their characters interesting flaws and quirks elsewhere. (Real quirks, not teehee snarky one-liners!!!) They're decidedly not there to play out a power fantasy or to expand their spankbanks, either, making for more balanced spotlight time.

Take care of the dudes playing goblins in your High Fantasies and old grandmas in your slice-of-lifes. They're the ones breaking from the three or four stock character molds per genre and actively trying to keep things fresh.

@pugbutter

The direction of this thread made me change my newest character’s FC from

this

To

this

But all the personality traits are gonna still be the same. I already like him so much more.
