Baybridge™: Era of the Old/New Gods™ [COMPLETED]

Anyways, is there any collabs that I don't know of that need to be finished?

@Mr Allen J

The one between me and Est is almost done - just need to add a few more lines to make it look complete (i.e. Est has to write something to end it off before they will post it lol).

(The one between me and Fern is gonna take ages to finish, but it's got nothing to do with what's going on so far, so that's fine.)

Cara's Originally Titled OoC Hangout Thread ♥ (Still)

I haven't tried the discord chat thingy yet. Maybe I should.
_{Because I only know about the discord thing just today, lol.}

Been having too much fun with six-word stories that my writing for longer paragraphs is suffering.
_{I keep inserting heavy subtexts into my RPs that I end up having to explain some stuff because of the fear that everyone just won't get those hints. Which is like 99% of the time.}

Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

@SilentWriter83 Just my two-cents...

1) LGBT vs realism in roleplaying:

Rather than forcing the characters to be categorized under specific sexuality for the sake of either appeal or whatever selfish reasons, I think that people should take a step back and try to understand what being someone who's LGBT really is and feels, instead of just going: "My character is <insert sexuality type here>, and they'll fuck with only those in line with the sexual preference I stated. Kthxbai." You are not going to play a convincing character with the sexuality type you stated when you don't even understand what being that sexuality type truly means. It's just like the Emperor's Clothes story: you think you're wearing some fantastic clothes, playing a glamorous LGBT character that everybody wants to hang out with, when in reality you wear nothing, because you understand nothing about what it's like to be in their shoes.

Like you have said, not many people would admit their real sexual preference - not all of them are straight or even have any interest in sexual stuff at all openly - because it is a sensitive topic to most people. Things about LGBT should be treated sensibly and with empathy and respect, not just to feed your sick fetish fantasies.

Exploring what it means to play a LGBT character is fine if it can help you to better understand how their feelings towards being labeled and stereotyped as such by the majority and mass media, but know where to draw the line between exploration and doing it for the sake for going smutty.

2) Dark and edgy vs realism in roleplaying:

I do like gritty stories, but there should always be hope somewhere no matter how grim the plot is building up, because that hope is the greatest device in developing the story to its highest point, and can help to leave an impact to the players (or even lurkers reading the RP). Realistically, it's true that things don't always go our way in life, but life has ups and downs. In any stories, there are always lots of ups and downs - whether to the character, the plot, the setting... it's everywhere. Not many people are willing to invest their time to read or play something that is down and depressing all the way and everyone dies in the end with no hopeful ups - like, what's the point of wasting hours or days or even months on it when everyone's going to die anyway with zero redemption, zero development? Why can't they just die right from the start when there's just zero hope to live? /shrugs

@Mr Allen J By the way, when you told me that the party will happen after the timeskip...

But in the collab you wrote that the party is the very next day. And the scene was already happening at nighttime.

So, it's just a few hours of timeskip.

...Good job.

Baybridge™: Era of the Old/New Gods™ [COMPLETED]

kiss my glorious ass tsu

The plot gets even thicker (like a penis). But, we are slowly approaching the next part. I just gotta finish a collab with Zomb and Fern (which, at one line a day, will take weeks). I've already resigned to stop waiting for Fern and Tsu to stop jerking off and write a collab.

@Mr Allen J

Fuck no no one wants to kiss your smelly ass

And I blame YOU for the delay because your brainless homoerotism is wasting Fern's mind cells to put Max through a gay torture, and so she barely has enough left to withstand the Inception badassery of my collab with her.

Hey, be glad that you and I actually finished a collab in ONE FUCKING DAY TODAY.

Baybridge™: Era of the Old/New Gods™ [COMPLETED]

Anyways, it's my fucking birthday.

Shower me with your love.

Well, more love.

@Mr Allen J

Go drown yourself in booze and get back to bed, you retard.

Or you can go hang yourself... literally. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Happy Boozeday, yes.

What is your opinion on "school/academy" RPs?

I don't hate school RPs - I get that it will forever be in demand regardless of time - but I'm just not interested in it.

I mean... I'm still schooling, and I have enough of school. Please spare me the agony of going to school again while I'm having a sem break now. Like, RL school is already a pain in the ass. I don't need another hundred more virtual schools to add on to my woes.

...Ahem.

Jokes aside, RPs set in academies or institutions, regardless of genre (whether normal slice-of-life-y or superpower stuffs), aren't my cup of tea. For one, I find it a chore to keep up with all the classrooms and timetable stuffs, keeping tabs on which teachers teach which subjects that 99% of them are pretty much something only Americans understand (an Asian like me won't understand the system at all since ours is very, very different)... Well, I just feel tired at the thought of having to do all these extra homework for a mere hobby, and worse when I have to go back to my real school to deal with actual homework before the RP can come to a conclusive end (in one month? Talk about impossible).

I prefer to take on RPs set in a more open setting, like a city or even country. Doing things in the bigger, more chaotic world outside of the four walls of a small classroom.

And yes, I'm a considerate RPer who knows my RL schedule limit, which is also the partial reason why I have to avoid school-setting RPs (well, not like anyone would give a damn if I have to disappear because of exams anyway - my college schedule is so screwed up lol).

@Mr Allen J@FernStone

...Now I know why Max's flirting bit needs no brain.

Who needs a brain for that anyway? All you need is body - and be a sex mannequin! \( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)/

_{Which makes our collab sounds so much cooler, yes.}

EDIT: Jokes aside, after Naoki's part is finally done and posted, I'll get around revealing the NPC sheets for Polaris.

Baybridge™: Era of the Old/New Gods™ [COMPLETED]

@FernStone No sweat - of course you need more thought because it's obviously more epic than what you're doing for poor Max (her? Flirting with someone? That's a RAVEN rookie's job now? *le me proceeds to lol*). And I wrote a lot, so you're gonna need some time to read through, yeah (mostly just revealing more about Naoki but they are important later).

Orientation must be tough for you, huh... I hated my college orientation, because we're pretty much doing nothing but screaming retarded cheers in Singlish for the whole day. >__>
