kat8chaHave you ever sat there and just wanted to go 'DAMN so-and-so's OOC'. But you can't, because so-and-so's a pretty good friend to you and whoever you would complain to.
And it's like, you shouldn't complain, because you know that YOU'RE OOC often enough with your own characters and complaining just makes you look like a bitch.
I'm generally pretty good about not complaining about people being OOC unless they're really off, or it's a repeated offense, or it's one of those characters that I just have standards about.
Like. Atobe? I have standards. Yukimura too. I'm sorry, if they're not kicking ass, they're not in character. That's just the way I see them. Atobe might lose, might get the short end of the stick, might somehow get screwed over, but he does it with goddamn dignity.
I have standards about the 'stoics' too. Mainly that they BE STOIC. I'm sorry, but if the character in canon has a tendency to fill speech bubbles with '...' or 'hn' then get over your need for pointless text!
And then there's the 'lesser used' characters. The ones with very little information given about them who end up being manhandled because they're there and HEY It's not like we CAN'T say this about them. Characters you 'create as you go' someone once said. That's true about all characters when you write or RP, but they generally have some background.
Again, I shouldn't talk, my characters often talk too much, are OOC, or aren't researched enough. But still.
~SIGH~ Just. Peevish today I guess. I'm practically curled into a ball to type on the laptop, and my neck and shoulders are killing me and I am NOT looking forward to sending the laptop in.
