To make my own little post on the whole pay-to-rp thing.

I’ve done that.

Four times.

Twice ingame money. Twice real money.

I’m a shut in on the internet. A conversation vampire. I can’t talk to people unless invited to/into a conversation and then out of nervousness I drain it dry in less than 3 minutes and suddenly people either ghost me or tell me something came up and they have to leave. That’s assuming people want to talk to me in the first place, that’s a rarity in itself. 

After an extremely unpleasant experience involving my FC hating me for having a harmless opinion and my static abandoning me because “you’re doing your job too well and it’s hurting everyone else”, I felt so alone that I ended up desperately asking a literal random RPer to just RP with me and I paid them 2 million gil in return. 

Yes. I paid 2 million for RP that lasted an hour, but for at the time it was the most joy I had in literal weeks. I even cried. I ended up doing it a few more times to other people until I eventually quit the game because it was just unbearable.

I understand that horrible feeling of posting this LF-RP post that you spent a lot of time and love into, having loads of people reblog it and then silence. In fact I am experiencing that very thing right now! Though this time I’ve started talking more on discord (I did say I’d try in the new year and look at me, I’m actually doing it) and I’ve managed to get into RP by just... well existing I guess. 

It’s been an entire expansion since I’ve had to deal with what was the worst experience on the internet I’ve ever had and I’m still very much trying to overcome my fears of doing stuff (talking to people, doing ingame content, being a human being) but I’m trying my best. 

If you’re ever in that situation where you feel that you’re not going anywhere with trying to find RP, try talking to someone. Literally anyone. Throw yourself into a RP discord, scream about how sad it is that you fall over every time you walk into the bathroom (that’s a me problem, I know) and just... be you. People will respond, you will talk to them and eventually perhaps you’ll find a friend or two that’ll RP with you and join in on all the cool things you want to do. It takes time, but do your best and it will be okay.

Words are free, money is fleeting, friendship is sometimes forever.

it da new yer eve

While, in all honesty, I didn’t have a good year at all I’m definitely going to work just as hard in the new year. Maybe even more. 

My only resolutions are just to post more content, mainly on Eirn’s blog and to try and talk to more people online because I’m a horrid shut-in even on the internet. 

I hope everyone has a wonderful new year. Many trash cat blessings to you all. 

[liott-monar]

Christmas miracle achieved, I got my scouting hood. Merri crysler peoples! Don't do anything this trash cat wouldn't do!

3844: What do you do when you get writer’s block?

~random numbers munday meme~

I like to do one of two things!

1. Go write something else entirely from the piece you’ve been hitting your head at for ages. 

It doesn’t matter what kind of writing it is nor what quality, just write something different. Often I get writer’s block from simply staying on the same piece for so long and being so stumped on it that it affects other work. Writing something else that isn’t going to be posted anywhere puts my head into a different gear and helps when I go back to the piece I was struggling with. 

2. Take a small break, go do something else.

Sometimes writer’s block comes from being burned out and it’s always wise to take a moment just to move away from writing and go do something else. I like to take a nice walk sometimes or just stare outside my window with some nice music or eat giant chocolate buttons and drink rum while wrapped up in bed. Coming back to what I want to work on after being away from it for just a little while (not long enough to lose my place in the train of thought) leaves me more refreshed and able to look at what I want to do from a different angle.

That and maybe I just wanted to be a bed burrito filled with chocolate and booze.

Thank you for the ask @yuki-yukichan !

911: What is the worst thing that you’ve ever done to a muse?

~random numbers munday meme~

Allowed permanent damage and death on literally every event I went to. I used to RP a miqo’te black mage (who obviously hid the fact she’s a black mage) and  allowed anything to happen to her, so long as the dice roll allowed it. She lost both arms, half her tail, burned her legs, lost sight in one eye and still had the gall to insult your mother, your father and your aldgoat. She eventually died after 6 years (I swear she survived purely on spite alone) after saving her party of trusted friends one last time from a caving mine. 

RIP X’Dhora Tal you didn’t deserve my shit rolls.

Thank you for the ask @bloodsworn-marshal !

101: Did you ever have to learn something in order to play a character?

~random numbers munday meme~

I did recently! Eirn is heavily inspired by the history of where I live (northern Scotland) so I had to do a lot of rummaging around to get as much detail into the history and culture of the Iron Age onwards as possible. There’s some real crazy, metal as heck stuff in there (like having a belt made of animal intestines to spook the fae??? u wot) and I’m actually really glad I’m learning a lot about my peoples.

Liott took much less research, since I kinda read Isekai novels often and wanted to take that idea for a spin drive. 

Thank you for the ask @alun-ura !

« RP Hooks »

CITY LOST: Wandering often means moving with no goal in mind, but that does not mean that Eirn never becomes lost. The bustle of cities is extremely foreign to her and her senses so one might find her wandering around confused and perhaps disorientated.

FORTUNE TELLER: Though not a part of her role in life entirely, Eirn may be found offering fortune telling through her village's unique method of throwing uniquely carved bone die. Though the accuracy of her telling are not entirely accurate, as one can simply avoid the path they've now seen, what she sees in the future is never positive.

CHOCOBO MAGNET: Her love for the fluffy, feathered friend often seen in Eorzea has caused her to become enamoured for them. If you have a chocobo, she is most definitely going to show her love and joy to the creature.

So I’ve done a fair bit over the past week and a tiny bit

I just farmed 2m MGP for the sabotender mount. In a week. My fingers hurt. 

I also finally created a “main” character RP wise that I really want to develop and grow and cry in bed about. 

That isn’t to say I’m abandoning Liott, hecking no way I’m doing that. She’s my precious dwarf child I want to work with Liott in a much more slower and more in a slice of life manner, but with my main I want to do sooo much more than that. I’m still finalising everything and need to wait for money to come in so I can name change, but you can expect a post about it (and maybe a separate blog that’s much less OOC than this one) later this week.
