And these are my vices: impatience, bad temper, wine, the more than occasional cigarette, an almost unquenchable thirst to be kissed. a hunger that isn’t hunger but something like fear…

You are shaking fists & trembling teeth. I know: You did not mean to be cruel. That does not mean you were kind.

Roleplaying is first and foremost about the writing. Just because someone chooses to format their posts differently does not make them any less of a writer. Not using gif icons does not immediately make someone an awful writer. Choosing a musician, reality star, youtuber, ect. over a serious actor does not make someone an awful writer. People get so caught up in the aesthetic sometimes that it makes me sad. Roleplaying should be evaluated from a writing standpoint only. Someone you freeze out because their ~aesthetic~ doesn’t meet your standards could have ended up being the best partner you’ve ever had.

At the end of the day, it’s all just words on a screen.
