Inteliride is a transportation system for those on medicaid and have no working vehicle.
Yeah. Too bad Mom can't join us. But with her back deteriorating it's not good for her to stand too long and any chairs they have aren't comfy for her.

I just realized that "take out" means food, dating, and murder. And if you were a female praying mantis you'd have all three.

Hey, everyone! Hope you're all doing well.
Finally got back from work.
I don't know why, but it was especially tiring today.

@Mikael
Spoiler
Speaking of the ref sheets, update on that? o vo
I meant to log on yesterday and respond, but I was so exhausted that I just logged on for a few minutes.

That definitely plays a part. It’s part of what makes this whole can’t-roleplay-female-characters thing so frustrating. I’m being too picky about how I portray females, but I portray males in all types of ways. They can be rude af and I’d still be like, “He’s great though, right?” And if I had a female character like that, I’d feel that she was being too annoying or something. Totally conditioned and I’m really trying to approach character traits more objectively. It’s hard, but worth working through so I can make better female characters. My coworker is actually starting a roleplay soon, hopefully, that’ll center around wizard students and I’m thinking of making a female OC. c:

It is. I often want my characters to be in happy, healthy relationships. It’s hard for me to willingly write them in bad ones, because even characters deserve the best. D; Some people complain that relationships like that lack conflict, though, and to those people I say – “ pbbfffttttt :P “ (Aka, I’ll do what I want.) Anyway, that kind of went off track from what you were saying, sorry. ; u; ‘’

It’s only one part of it, obviously. I’ve kind of changed his backstory a lot, so it sometimes gets confusing which parts I’m actually using haha. Maybe when I get to writing the story (since I am not using early drafts anymore, lol) I’ll let you read it!

Of course! I like talking about it. It’s like .. the most significant world/story I’ve got, because I’ve been working on it since I was about 17? So like seven or eight years, and it’s been through so many phases, and the characters and plot have really grown. On top of that, unlike my other stories, I’m intending for this to be a full novel. Or novels! Depending on what I come up with. I’m at a point where the first novel will be Jasora’s story, but if I make other novels in a series, they would be told from other characters’ povs. The second might be his brother’s story, the third the princess’. I don’t know! I’ve got loose plans, but it’s exciting anyway. c:

Oh noooo, let him find his loveeee! Lol. I’d interrupt too, though, so I understand, haha. See, I like that he has some subtler flaws that really impact his life. Like the idolizing women thing. People might not realize they do that, but it can be really frustrating for the women in his life. I was reading a fanfiction with a character who had a similar problem, except at that point he had been working on not idolizing women too much. It’s an interesting problem to have and a good conflict to work through I think.

Ara seems like someone I’d get along with. It makes sense, though, that people wouldn’t question his emotional or mental state? When people seem generally positive or friendly, others tend to think they have less problems because they’re not showing it. I hope he’s able to talk to people about it! Confide in someone so he’s not burying everything too much. :’(

Me: concerned about your character’s mental and emotional health and support systems, pff

Also, you’re not rambling too much at all. (:
You’re listening to me talk about my characters too, so we’re just throwing ideas at each other! It’s nice.

Oh, aww. What an interesting pair to dress up as though, haha. If you can separate them from your old characters, then I think it’d be a good read. ;) It’s pretty serious, I’d say? And sad, haha. I mean, you know how their stories went in the Iliad, I’m sure, sooo .. you can kind of predict some big plot points, haha.

You know, I actually don’t like the delinquents as often. Yusuke was a special case for me, I think, because I didn’t think I liked him too much at first but he grew on me. A lot. He’s easily my favorite character in YYH now. And I love most of the characters in HxH, from what I’ve watched so far. (:

      Aye, I'm still slowly working on that. I have tomorrow free, so more time to clean it up, yay!

      Awesome! Do show us your OC if you make her!

      I avoid unhealthy relationships in RP, mostly because it doesn't appeal to me? I mean, it's fine if there are problems (realistic that way), but the good stuff should balance it out at least; make it something worth pursuing.

      Conflict doesn't have to happen just between the two characters involved romantically, anyways. Conflict could be more on one character's part about themselves (being held back by something, working on a problem outside the relationship, working on themselves, going through a situation) or outside forces (family doesn't accept them, friends are having problems that take priority over the relationship, wars or stuff that affects them on a large scale). If you mix and match that, then even a steady relationship will be exciting in a new way, because what affects one person also affects the other. You've just got to be creative enough to think outside of the box.

      Aha, feel free to go off-track! I do it too, but I also enjoy it? More stuff to talk about!

      Dude, I would love to read it! Different PoVs is always fun. It's an exercise in being able to write different voices.

      Ara is working on his thing with women; he's been used by enough of them to have a clue (not even in an awful way, but you know how even people who are generally nice and well-meaning will take advantage of something/someone 'cause it's easy/available? That's the majority of it for him.) I say that, but really, he's a romantic, a humanitarian, and generally sympathetic; if someone asked for his help, he'd rather inconvenience himself than abandon them to their problems.

      He's got a ton of flaws though. Tons of flaws and tons of strengths. Just a complicated guy.

      Aha, he is the kind of person who is easy to befriend because he's genuine and caring of others. I think most people would want the kind of friend who'd listen to your woes and support your dreams, and even if he's not a particularly smart or strong or handsome guy, he's got that much on his side. (It's like the Hufflepuff within. XD)

      When he's feeling down, Ara's able to talk to his two best friends, at least, and to his sisters. He's got a good group of people who are there for him. :)

      It's fun to push a character through trials and awkward and horrible situations. Character development happens when characters are given problems to overcome. Er, Ara's gotten over some pretty bad moments in his life at this point, but he's not as lighthearted as he was when he was a kid. (Not many people are really.)

      Yes, throw more ideas at me!

      If you ask me who specifically, I'd have a hard time naming a delinquent character I like. Might be the whole aesthetics aspect of it for me.

      I like most HxH characters too!

      Yeah, I figured as much, River. It's too bad. XD

      Glad you're doing well, though!

      I'm doing ten different things at the same time again. *lies down* But I did get laundry done before the weekday starts and I was able to grab some granola and dried strawberries to snack on. X3

      Well I went out to get some bacon and the breeze was there but it was somewhat a warm breeze and bleh.. now I'm home about to strip off my leggings and dress (the leggings have fleece on the inside and my dress is nylon and long sleeved).

      Had to miss the school meeting and when I tried to call them at the number provided all I got was a messaging service for another company. Then I tried another number and left a message and didn't get a reply. u.u; We also have to miss her appointment with her ophthalmologist because I woke up dizzy and nauseous again. So I finally set up an appointment for Wednesday after my daughter's doctor appointment.

      Ugh! I don't know if I'll ever get her into school this year. This stuff is so freaking confusing and frustrating.
