  3. Castañas
  4. [DWRP] I hate being super upset/stressed out over IC actions/IC consequences.
  5. ᴍʀ. ʟᴀʀᴜᴇ
  6. o.o? what happened bb?
  7. Castañas
  8. I let a my character (who owns a business and has a respectable reputation) get captured on video totally drugged out and unable to speak unless given permission.
  9. Castañas
  10. And now his world's all crumbling down
  11. Castañas
  12. Stupid Hibi making stupid IC actions.
  13. Castañas
  14. Because OOCly she had no time to deal with more tags. I shouldn't have done that.
  15. Yurick
  16. Use it as a strength, not a weakness. This is a perfect example of how the city fucks you up. Use that.
  17. Castañas
  18. ahahaha but my character is pro-city
  19. organic pussy
  20. like how pro-city? to the point he denies any of the bs the city can do and sees it through rose colored glasses? or can he admit the city does so fucked up shit? if it's the second, still workable
  21. organic pussy
  22. *do
  23. Yurick
  24. ^ This.
  25. aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
  26. Saying the city influenced all that would really be watering down the message he was trying to get across there, though, I think.
  27. Castañas
  28. He's the second kind. He admits that the city can do that kind of shit.
  29. Castañas
  30. But he can't say the city influenced him to be that way. He will man up and say it's really his fault.
  31. organic pussy
  32. But did anybody really believe the message (i'm curious, haven't followed the comments so unsure how it went off)?
  33. Castañas
  34. He drugged himself.
  35. organic pussy
  36. Ah then nevermind my question then
  37. organic pussy
  38. How bad is the fall out, can I ask? Is he losing business/employees or just respect?
  39. aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
  40. It's more personal CR, really.
  41. organic pussy
  42. i see, i see
  43. ᴘᴜᴘᴘʏ ᴘʀɪɴᴄᴇss
  44. I'm sure it'll all work out in the end!
  45. Castañas
  46. I'm going to hate it immensely if he loses respect. ugh. But I have to deal with it anyway.
  47. Castañas
  48. Well, it's to be expected. He's pro-city in a place that's mostly anti-city.
  49. aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
  50. Well yes, it's to be expected to a degree.
  51. Pulibear Blues
  52. I think its twofold, really, the hole he's got to dig out of
  53. Pulibear Blues
  54. But that barely touches on his politics, since was really in no position to speak for his personal politics publicly
  55. Pulibear Blues
  56. It's more that Sephiroth spring boarded how NoJoke he was by humbling a colleague so no one would doubt his authority
  57. Pulibear Blues
  58. Which is really sketchy/browraisy for anyone under the impression that Genesis and Sephiroth are rivals on par with each other
  59. Castañas
  60. True.
  61. Castañas
  62. They are supposed to be that way.
  63. Pulibear Blues
  64. Like, that's very,deliberate self marketing on Sephiroth's part
  65. Castañas
  66. /nodnod
  67. Pulibear Blues
  68. He LET Genesis lose that face to make himself look more indomitable
  69. Yurick
  70. If you can't raise yourself up more, push the other guy down.
  71. Pulibear Blues
  72. Genesis just.... Overdosed himself. In,part because he fears upsetting the more rebelious of his allies, I think you've said?
  73. Pulibear Blues
  74. Which makes sense, that's just a harder thing for most characters to,outwardly realize
  75. Pulibear Blues
  76. Which makes sense, that's just a harder thing for most characters to,outwardly realize
  77. Castañas
  78. Yes. That was it.
  79. aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
  80. The thing is, that in itself is really shitty behavior.
  81. aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
  82. It shows a pretty huge lack of respect for his CR to do something he knew would upset them and then try to avoid responsibility or having to answer to them for it by doing that.
  83. Pulibear Blues
  84. And muddled with the message of Alpha male hardliner Sephiroth
  85. Castañas
  86. I shouldn't have made him do it.
  87. Castañas
  88. Stupid Hibi.
  89. aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
  90. That's not something to worry about now though? I mean, you can't change that.
  91. aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
  92. It doesn't do any good to roll around beating yourself up instead of moving forward, and people are trying to help you move forward. XP
  93. Castañas
  94. I shouldn't have done it.
  95. ᴘᴜᴘᴘʏ ᴘʀɪɴᴄᴇss
  96. yeah it's only rp, everyone has done stupid rp stuff before. It'll be fine
  97. colorofthesky
  98. Tbh Hibi I'm not really sure that anyone thought genesis lost face except his close CR. Besides which, it's Masamune that lost employees
  99. colorofthesky
  100. So I don't really know why you're beating yourself up about this?
  101. colorofthesky
  102. If genesis had come out and said something WITH Sephiroth it probably would have been worse
  103. colorofthesky
  104. It's not like Genesis hasn't done asinine things to hurt people in canon so.... I would say you are blowing this way out of proportion
  105. aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
  106. nods The main conflict is really that Genesis's CR in game doesn't see him as what he is in canon because he's presented himself in an entirely different way in game.
  107. aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
  108. So doing asinine things to hurt people is a surprise to most of his CR. (LOL)
  109. Castañas
  110. Unfortunately that's what he canonly is.
  111. Castañas
  112. *does
  113. aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
  114. Yup! And there's nothing wrong with that!
  115. aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
  116. You're not playing him "wrong" having him hurt people, it just means that you have to be willing to accept the consequences.
  117. Castañas
  118. I'm accepting the consequences. It's just that I'm really terrible with dealing with them because I get really stressed out by conflict.
  119. Castañas
  120. (in other words, Hibi, WHY ARE YOU EVEN PLAYING THIS CHARACTER WHO HAS CONFLICT WRITTEN ALL OVER HIM!!?!)
  121. aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
  122. Have you tried maybe doing a few happier tags in between tagging the drama stuff?
  123. aι ĸιngoғdυcĸѕ
  124. That helps me sometimes! That's why I was thinking about maybe making that funny/crack post. XP
  125. Castañas
  126. Yeah. I've done a few happier things.
  127. Castañas
  128. My mood just severely plummets whenever I'm faced with this again.
  129. colorofthesky
  130. Don't tag things for a few days then. I had to take a step back from it myself because Zack's depressing was starting to wear on me
  131. colorofthesky
  132. Depression*. He was upset all of October because of Sephiroth being gone so I just needed a break. And that is very okay
  133. Castañas
  134. /nodnod
  135. steven stoner
  136. I don't think you really did anything that was a mistake, Hibi
  137. steven stoner
  138. and honestly... pretty much all of the fallout was on my side in terms of people ACTUALLY leaving, bridges to be mended, etc. which isn't to say some on Genesis' CR wasn't upset
  139. steven stoner
  140. but I have to agree that this is kind of the thing that Genesis does, so it makes sense
  141. steven stoner
  142. it's becoming a little upsetting seeing so many of these Plurks since it just makes me feel like you didn't enjoy the post/enjoy doing it with me :-( and I didn't intend for that to happen.
  143. steven stoner
  144. I do think it will be fine. it's just a consequence of negative CR, which IMO can be fun too.
  145. Pulibear Blues
  146. Tbh it's healthier for CR evolution if there are ups/down/ugly truths/trouble in paradise
  147. Pulibear Blues
  148. Characters fuck up. make bad decisions they later regret. And that's okay.
  149. Castañas
  150. /nodnod. I just got really upset because I didn't expect that making him do that thing made such an effect on his CR. Being reminded that the side my character took was really demonized made me-
  151. Castañas
  152. -feel regret, too. I expected fallout and conflict, but not like to the point that I'd feel stressed out about it.
  153. oneirophobe
  154. Seconding - or thirding, or whatever - the advice to do less dramatic things while you're trying to navigate this. It'll prevent it from feeling like a grind.
  155. steven stoner
  156. again, I don't see any reason to be upset
  157. steven stoner
  158. it makes for some interesting conversations and at the end of day, it's just RP
  159. steven stoner
  160. if you're stressing it may just be a good idea to take a break in general
  161. Castañas
  162. Yeah. I shouldn't be upset about it. /)_(\
  163. Castañas
  164. Shitty Hibi being a shitty upset thing.
  165. colorofthesky
  166. ...I would take a break, Hibi
  167. colorofthesky
  168. there really isn't any need to put yourself down over this
  169. colorofthesky
  170. just take a step back and unwind
  171. Castañas
  172. Nonono, it's ok. I don't need a break.
