So like. Sometimes, I look at my characters and I go, "Is this what I'm defined by?" But then sometimes, I feel comforted by the fact that they're not actually that easily definable. Sure, there are a few traits here and there (family craziness? check. codependency? checkcheck and so on), but ultimately there is no fucking way you can say Merlin and Leto are similar or Dean and Kirk, despite their ridiculous six degrees and same height and so on are the same. So, I have broadened my horizons in my RP. I do have a character type I'm more attracted to, for sure, but at the same time, I could go, "See that guy over there? I could play that." I feel proud to say that now. I think a few years back, there was no way I could do that. But now, I can. Score!

Does anyone ever think about that? About being defined by the kinds of things they like? It's not a sore point, but sometimes I wonder how other people look at it. Do they see it as, "Fuck it's my type, I'm so boring" (which I used to do!) or "Dude, this is totally my type I love it!!!" etc, idk I'm just saying things randomly (without examples!!).

On another point, I like how my type apparently went from "ridiculously topped characters" to "girly-men". Also, I fiddled with my inksome so it looks decent and a mood theme! I am so proud!!! ... I have too much time on my hands!!

I do! But I never imagine I could play Spock and apparently I kinda can without sucking hardcore. Who knew.

I personally believe that any person can play any character. It's a matter of belief and intuitive-ness? Also, research here and there, but it's not impossible. It's like when you guess something before it's confirmed.

Ohh, yeah. That's most probably true, but I don't know. In my case, there are characters I think I could play but it'd be difficult for me. NOT IMPOSSIBLE YES, b-but. Like if I get around to app this counselor it's going to be a challenge for me, but I kinda want to try.

Well, I enjoy challenges! And every time it is difficult, I find some kind of cheat to make up for it. Like Leto can be considered as a character that is impossible to play, but bluffing does wonders.

Oh, me too. Otherwise I wouldn't have apped so many of the characters I have now, but I tend to be more insecure in my playing than I should. I love your Leto and his bluffing. ♥

You shouldn't be insecureeeeee. If you love the character, then trust in the fact you do a good job at him and always keep yourself updated. Read something about him! Check wiki, recap, etc.

You know I am even while I do thaaaat, but yes. I try to do that as much as possible. ♥ God I need to download Star Trek again.

I don't think I have a type. Other than dudes, I like playing dudes.

Hahahaha.

All I really know about my type is that I'm not generally taken by nice characters. There are similarities between my characters, but... I don't think they could all be lumped into one box.

Though I can say I don't really look at characters and think "I could play that if I wanted". For me, it's a case of "I MUST play that, it's mine". I've tried picking up characters from the former before, and it never works for me.

THE JERKS!!

I can do both really, but I lean on the latter more.

MY CHARACTERS ARE MADE OF SUNSHINE AND KITTENS.

of course dear.

Iii am not sure what you mean by "defined by"? Like... okay I was going to say I don't think you have a type and then I remembered that I plotted to top you into those two characters I topped you into in succession while I was over there because I knew they were your type. BUT LIKE I don't define you by the fact that you like that type! You're you and I think of you as you and not really related to the characters you play? And I don't really think of myself as defined by the characters I play, because I don't necessarily play characters I identify with. I consciously choose to play a wide range of personalities. Also one of the traits I find fascinating and love in a character (dependency) is absolutely the opposite of me myself (I NEED SO MUCH SPACE).

... I don't know if any of that is what you meant!

Hahahaham no, that makes sense. I don't think I am either!

...lol

just

yes

sob

I AM FUNCTIONAL RIGHT? sob

... I love you honey.

i think you and i share the problem of worrying too much.

LIKE HOW OCCASIONALLY I THINK THAT I MIGHT BE DESTROYING THE WORLD WITH MY BITTERNESS and then i realise how egocentric that actually is. huh.

I DO HAVE THAT PROBLEM where I'm like "I'M SO JUDGEMENTAL!! ... BUT REALLY I'M BEING JEALOUS AND PETTY AND I COULD DESTROY LIVES!!"

YES I'M LIKE WHAT IF I AM TOTALLY BEING SUCH A BIG BITCH THAT I DESTROYED THIS PERSON'S WELLBEING FOREVER?

... then i realise, no, while being a bitch is still shitty, i am probably not changing as much as i think i am

this conversation actually makes ... no sense. GO US

NEED TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT THAT but you have a point. I should remember that.

...This is why we're married, honey.

wahhh i misses you. i want someone to flop on right now, you are the perfect size!!

I MISS YOU TOO :( AND YOUR SNUGGLES.
