@imstillhere as someone who plays a dude on Arx (Edris) if I’m sitting with my flag on in public it means I wanna RP. I have amazing fun RPing with PCs that have absolutely no romantic or sexual connotations at all (and in fact to be honest if I don’t know you chances are I’d prefer that anyway for the first scene, regardless of gender).
But I get it. On PC elsewhere sometimes I have worried that the reason why people don’t respond much to requests for RP is because they’re worried that my female PC is only looking for a fuckbuddy and they’re not interested so why bother. On other places I’ve definitely worried about that a lot (or worried about someone getting crazy because they assume that’s what I’m doing with their RP partner). It’s hard to overcome.
I don’t much sit in public these days on Arx because I have only had short bursts of viable playtime and sitting around for a long time with only crickets makes me feel sad so I don’t do it when I know I have limited energy. But at least with Edris I’ve found male PCs regardless of orientation really fun and game to RP regardless if they want to be flirty or not (with the exception of one, but after observing his behavior in other scenes I’m pretty sure it’s because he always focuses on one pc and pretty much ignores everyone else so it’s totally not personal). I have run into issues where people seem annoyed if he’s not responding to overtures in the way that they want because he’s not interested, but even those have been a LOT milder and better than I’ve experienced turning people down elsewhere. I’m sure a lot of it is luck, but also I know that there’s a lot less tolerance for that kind of weirdness.

Humans are pretty terrible. Someone should something about them.

I still can’t believe you never convinced Tehom to implement +meteor for you and @Herja to use. That said, my rates are reasonable.
@junipersky My retirement plan for Bhandn is to become an immortal lap kitty. Does that count for anything?

@dvoraen lol this is not the energy Bhandn puts off tho

I honestly have so much affection for the people on Arx. But when I logged on with the oomph to RP my brain went, “It has been too long, it is too weird, and you don’t know what is going on, so don’t even try.”
The mind gremlins won so I didn’t rp but I really do like all you people.

@junipersky I literally had a dream the other night wherein I was on the phone with someone that my brain had decided was @IoleRae, upset at me for not RPing enough.
Brains are fkn weird.
let it be a challenge to you

Gosh. It’s hard to resist the urge to apologize. Agreed, brains ARE weird.

You should primarily apologise for being on the phone.
It’s 2023, who does that?

@imstillhere this is the perfect place to employ the playing dumb tactic. Take it at face value: they are looking for RP! They have not specified who or what in any way. If they start being weird about it, ignore everything that isn’t a statement you can actually respond to and keep RPing unless/until it’s not fun. If they get weird-weird, report to staff! If they only wanted a cute girl and you show up instead, they’re fully capable of exiting the scene.
-
@IoleRae I have zero idea why my brain did this, lol. Sorry to single you out, I mostly posted because ???

Hahaha, oh, please don’t apologize, I was tickled by it. Brains are so weird!

Somebody asked me to RP on a particular RP hook/behavior of theirs, then when I showed up to RP about it, they freaked out at me IC for invading their privacy. Mean stuff was said. Then at the end they were like “nah I’m not mad you just need to learn boundaries.”
WTF
