All from big, interesting ensemble casts full of better characters people could be fixating on instead of all playing the same character badly.

it's not but komaeda is the weirdest one to pick when few characters from that are played and it mostly tends to be that one het shipper on bakerstreet anyway

I think you're right, I can't remember the last time I saw a komaeda out there.

tru, subthread op should have listed a one piece character or something to at least stay on theme

there's even that la adaptation holding rp traction now, so it'd at least be more contemporary wank than dangit rupaul mentions in tyool 2024

the point is bitching when all these canons are mid is fucking stupid

they all have tropey characters made for mass appeal and your fave is not somehow deeper. most dwrp popular canons are always going to be shallow as a kiddie pool bc its easier to rp from and that's it

Re: ITT: CHARACTERS YOU NEVER SEE PLAYED WELL

instead of dodging the question over and over again like a pussy, tell us which canons have the non-tropey, non-kiddie pool characters

OP of that comment and I mostly meant that it's an extra bummer to see the same character over and over again when they're from big casts, but "better" was a headass word to use in that context so yeah, didn't communicate my point well. My faves definitely aren't deeper.

it's listed as "Action, mystery, supernatural" and being published in a seinen magazine (young ace)

i know people use shonen as an umbrella term for genre, but it's actually a demographic that says more about the audience it's aimed at, so i guess anything could fall under shonen as long as it's being published in a shonen magazine

oooh nooo why would people want to play the main and most developed characters in a series instead of over inflating the importance and appeal of my favorite minor character whom i've projected 5000 headcanons on to make them interesting

it's fun to build up minor characters with what you're given tho

sure but you can't expect others to care esp about random mha student number 12 whose only trait is just being a nice guy

Re: ITT: CHARACTERS YOU NEVER SEE PLAYED WELL

(Anonymous) 2024-10-21 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
fair. "is just a nice guy" already describes a character too boring for me to rp

Re: ITT: CHARACTERS YOU NEVER SEE PLAYED WELL

(Anonymous) 2024-10-21 01:23 pm (UTC)(link)
but then they'd just be playing different characters badly

+1 the monkey's paw curls

your favorite minor character blorbo has been picked up by multiple shitty rpers. everyone's first impression of obscure blorb is now the shoddily-played dwrp version
