I know it sounds terrible, but I hate when I play a real person character and an anime or cartoon character comments them. Like it's hard for me to imagine them interacting

it's normal

skill issue

+1

sucks for you to miss out on a lot of cr that way op, my sympathy

+1

like it'd be one thing if the character was just boring to write against but in general? absolutely a skill issue. gg

not terrible just supremely weird of you

weak

you couldn't waterboard this kind of admission of weakness out of me

You realize the characters are just in a medium right? They'd look like real people next to your character. If you can't imagine that how do you function in a writing hobby where you also have to imagine a bunch about the settings and things that happen in plots?

I get people being annoyed by seeing the art styles because they dislike them but being totally unable to use your imagination to picture characters in other mediums as real is weird in hobby where we already have to imagine a lot.

i would say 'do you think this is who framed roger rabbit' except even who framed roger rabbit got it and you don't

I like to imagine the other character in my character’s canon style and Vice versa.

do you have this same problem with characters from written works, where you can only imagine your character attempting to communicate with a collection of sentient words?

with your brain's apparent lack of creative capacity i can only imagine how dull your writing must be

they aren't missing out on much from you

i know you mean live action, but 'real person character' makes it sound like you think dean winchester is a real person who is going to come marry you irl

are you recently from insanejournal or tumblr? panfandom is the norm here and we'll make fun of you and call you a medium divide baby if you judge characters based on mediums

my only issue is when i realize the LA player is pulling photos of the actor/actress from irl, like on the carpet or some other event. i don't know why but it breaks the line of character from actor for me and it makes me extremely uncomfortable to play against.

I play mainly LAs and same (well, maybe not uncomfortable but it's very distracting)

Especially when it's the same actor, okay fine, but they don't even look at all close to the same, different hair color or things like that.

i hate this, and i hate mixing fanart icons when there's plenty of good canon material from games/anime.

that is not similar and is also extremely dumb. calm the fuck down.

block all icons from loading on dreamwidth and i guarantee you wouldn't be able to tell whether a character's medium is cartoony or not from the writing in the tag alone unless you were canon familiar

this is a very silly hangup, anon

well except for the people who still write about characters “sweatdropping”. one of the mha characters at escordvi does that and every time i want to smack them

lol i was gonna say, one could probably guess with slightly higher than 50/50 accuracy

did that person time travel from 2010

i haven't seen anything like this in ages and i rp almost exclusively animes lmao christ

another anon already covered it sort of, but unfortunately this is false because we have some weebs in this hobby who insist on playing their animus in the most insufferable way possible

certain people who are more anime than not that attempt to play las do so with anime traits and it never translates well. i don't watch anime or read manga, so when i was in a thread with an la and they mentioned something about nosebleeds, i had my character react icly to the person they were talking to suddenly bleeding from their nose. i had no idea it was an anime thing until they reached out oocly to tell me they weren't really bleeding, it was just something that happened when people were embarrassed or flirting or something.

i still don't get it, but it certainly cemented another reason for me not to want to play against anime characters. or against people playing la character who were more comfortable playing anime characters.
