@Jennkryst Clothes are fun so I get wanting them, but don’t forget that you never have to be wearing clothing items. You can take everything off and you will be assumed to be wearing normal clothing for your position.

@farfalla And there is also the magic of +tempdesc

I have a Pinterest board of outfits (six years old and going strong), and an entire google folder of pretty borders I’ve made to describe the huge amount of saved pictures. I wish I had the energy to see them all created, but it just isnt happening. One day I shall finish them all, and all the other things I want to make for other people while im at it. Until then, Jaenelle will just glue spidersilk to herself in creative places.

I regret bringing up CrafterTalk, because now I have this ridiculous desire to pick up a roster crafter, and I am barely hanging on with one character’s plots.

Peeve: When I have brain cells and energy during the week, plan to do investigations or help with investigations then completely forget about it until Sunday afternoon only to remember it is now too late to help or start an investigation.

Peeve addendum: When this also happens during a holiday weekend and I am under the assumption that Sunday is ‘second Saturday’ and forget to do work rolls and all that jazz.

I hate unthematic sexism because first someone rps about something unthematically sexist and then other people rp about how terrible the first unthematically sexist thing was but the fact is NONE OF THAT SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN THE FIRST PLACE STOP MAKING ME TRY TO SQUARE THE TOTAL NONSENSE OF MISOGYNY WITH THEMATIC RP AHHHH

NONE OF OUR CHARACTERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS, IT DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE IN WORLD

I wish I were out there on the grid stopping this in its tracks whenever it appears like a goddamn animated paperclip

@sao This is something that drives me a little bonkers. Usually I have my PC ask them stuff like “wow that’s so weird, why do you say that?” Or “gee, I wonder why that person would have said something so nonsensical, were they drunk or something?” If the player is new i might point out some of the cultural help.

But I’ll only have him do that maybe twice. After that it veers into the uncomfortable place of me as non staff telling someone they’re playing wrong. So if someone really has a hard on for “guys don’t like me bc I’m a big strong woman instead of a dainty morsel like a lady should be” or someone ignoring a female character of higher rank and knowledge to listen to someone of lower expertise but who has a penis i just ignore/don’t engage.

Its not fun to constantly have to correct cultural canon esp when the other person delights in implying that you are mean being mean to them IC. That can be a little or a lot fun sometimes with the right person but usually it isn’t so much after the first time.

Word. I recently had a character’s outfit referred to as weird in meta. It was pants. It was some pants.
