yeah idk about kubo privately confirming it, but there is this

http://gotohellsenpai.tumblr.com/post/153343675199/kubo-confirmed-victor-and-yuri-kissed-and-yes-it

take from that what you will but it's the closest i've seen to actual confirmation from kubo

This. This so much. Like no, I'm not going to buy you something with my hard ass earned money that I actually worked for. I buy nice things for myself because I earn it. The only time I'll give money is to my family who lives in a developing country.

I'm more than a little salty about this.

You realize you'd already been saying it wasn't the game, it was me in your previous comments, right? Because my bitter sounding response was purely in reaction to your condescending attitude. I was in Eudio for over a year, jsyk. I joined because I have a life outside of RP and thought the low AC would accommodate that. I found like-minded players, had plenty of OOC talk and started building CR, and then they'd flake, or drop to cycle to another character. Over and over. I'm not talking from a position of no experience with hard game atmospheres or not trying to stick it out and be proactive when it gets tough. Yeah, all games have cliques and dropped threads, but I've been in DWRP a long time and Eudio is on a level I've never experienced before, and at this point I severely doubt is going to change.

If you really think that works for you, fine, but in my time there the majority of players I saw loved it at first and then slowly descended into forced positivity covering over increasing frustration and disappointment.

Is it too much to ask that, in a game with lots of physical mutations, you put the description of how fucked up your character is in a place that's easily referenced?

you must have a taste for shit, anon, if you think there's quality in this game.

Stop playing your OOC buttfucking in games with cast mates that are canon romantic interests you slash obsessed fuckwit. Your character is not the way you play them. All you write is a shitty hollow shell of what your character used to be. You've filled them up with your personal fetishes and self inserting m/m fantasies. They're not gay in canon, you've got a canon love interest IN THE GAME and you're shirking them for someone they don't even remotely have interest in either by sexuality OR by relationship.

did you conveniently forget that he took bronze at worlds in his senior debut? JJ didn't even podium at worlds, it was otabek taking bronze to chris' silver and victor's gold.

the finale is fucking shit and i say this because i love the series, not because i hate it

if they'd changed JJ's standing and victor's decision to return then i could've handled the other weird decisions surrounding the episode, but nothing justifies those

Well, you don't really want to go too far in either direction, imo. As an example,

Well, duh. Obviously. [She rolls her eyes. She's an important scientist and she has to answer stupid questions like this. What's the point of this conversation again?]

That might be IC, but there are better ways of phrasing it, because it sounds more like you as an author being judgey than the character. And then there's,

Well, duh. Obviously. [She rolls her eyes, because it's clear that everyone knows this and she's not just an idiot. Except she is, lol!]

That one gets obnoxious because the author feels they need to narrate how ~silly and dumb~ their character is, instead of showing it.

So the trick is to find a balance, right? I just personally err on the side of subtly implying that my character is being a prat, rather than make all meta 100% IC thoughts and actions and nothing else.

So if you look at his tumblr, he's complaining about how he's alienating people and not raising as much money as other GoFundMes because he's too femme and gay. Because clearly if you don't give him money for hormones, it's because you're phobic and bigoted.

no, i don't let her in. i reject her based on the reasoning that she'd not be a good fit for the game, which is entirely true.

(Anonymous) 2016-12-23 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah and chris didn't podium either ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i like otabek, i do, and i want him to do better next season, but jj was such a beast in the qualifying events that even with his poor short program i'm not surprised to see him take third

and people do this because of babies like op who can't seem to understand tags from assholes are going to sound pa as fuck if it is IC for them. why do you think people have watered down introspection to just actions or don't even use prose at length anymore?

everyone thinks showing means you can't add flavor, or you somehow suck as a writer when you do, when they're ignoring it is just their delicate sensibilities making them paranoid.

if i write:

Yeah and? [ Sophia continues to walk, ignoring the dumbfounded stare of her less-than-intelligent conversation partner. ] This was gone over in Quantum Mechanics but I'm sure you slept right through that. Why are you even here? [ They passed through the arches of the sciency building but she stops short of the door, blocking Molly's way. As if the likes of some 3.5 GPA student deserves to look in on her experiments, let alone the other students. She'd die before that happpened. ] Nobody wants you around anyway.

it can still work with a mixture of meta and action. just stop acting like you're so relevant your rp partner is actually trying to offend you. maybe they're responding in kind to match the tone of the thread which is just something people do without really thinking about it. an appropriate response would be:

[ Molly opened her mouth to speak but kept quiet. Why is Sophia treating her so poorly? She frowned. They both made it into Tokyo U. What's this about? ] Listen, I might be lazy but my biomedical engineering got me here the same as your research. [ Molly clenched her hands into fists at her side, trying to contain her rage. What a bitch. ] Get out of the way, Sophia.

okay but in all seriousness it depends on how it was written. it is really hard to be pa unless they're executing it poorly.

As a bi, yeah there are no doubt some lesbians who are being nasty about this, but from what I've seen an overwhelming majority of people who were using the "she could be bi!!!" argument were the types who couldn't accept Tracer could only be attracted to girls so they wanted to think of her as bi so she could still be a little bit straight (which isn't how it works). Others who wanted to entertain the notion that she could be bi because they themselves are bi and would like more rep, however, should be left alone because they weren't doing anything wrong.
