Charming Confessions 2.0

On the other hand I'm Needy and probably have a case of dependability issues, so I LOVE receiving that sort of "pestering", haha. I actually get more desire to post in a thread if I have someone be all "I WANT ELLORY POSTS" because I feel loved and wanted and like I matter. *sad violin plays in the background*

So yes, pester me all you want people.

I judge all your apps.

Not like, for content. I hardly ever read them. But I open up new apps to see who's making a character and basically what the character is, like "MCHB debutante" or "5th year" or what have you. And when that character isn't immediately useful to me (aka, it's not someone I've been waiting for someone to make for plot reasons or they don't fit into someone else's plot that I'm stalking) my reaction is usually something like "Ew, why would Beanie be wasting her time on some random student character when she COULD BE POSTING FOR ME?"

Obviously that's a little insane which is why I never say as much. =P And then I go on to have threads and plots with a lot of those characters, so clearly my disdain is very short lived. >>;

Also when I do eventually have threads with those characters I tend to go back and read or at least skim over the relevant sections of your profiles, so uhhhh I'm not always this much of a bitch is what I'm trying to say

You know that thing you all do where you put your accounts in source mode so your posts don't go batshit?

I put Cash in source mode yesterday after just hitting the little red button for literal years.

Today, in my quarterly eval at work, I suggested a buddy system to help new people settle in and increase the chance they'll stick around. Which might have sounded more professional if I didn't reference 'this website I'm a part of' as inspiration

My brain isn't creative enough to come up with creative~ Ministry threads so 99% of them take place in Barney's office, the lift or the lobby.

I strapped a knee-high sock to my face with two headbands to cover my weird fuzzy eye so I could read and write charming posts with one eye that still works right.
Thank you Te for the sock idea.

Also if our characters have ever had a thread i can pretty much promise I height comparison generatored them.

If I have no threads, have no one to talk to, and am completely bored, and it's the middle of the night, there is a chance that instead of going to sleep, I'll just go from one part of Charming to another, and act all hyper till someone chats on CBox or replies to something. I tend to be very hyper at night, and have no idea why.

This is basically me:

Not having muse is a rarity for me, so sometimes if I take a while with posting it isn't because my partner's post is lacking/I have nothing to add. I have an absurd about of anxiety surrounding writing and I am CONSTANTLY paranoid about my writing not being enjoyable so I spend a lot of time work shopping posts before I do anything with them. I agonize over wording and staying true to my characters and lots of other things which I think helps make quality posts but also sucks because I'm like "oh this is terrible" 99% of the time.

When I pick up wanted characters, or get in close plots with others, I often get this anxiety that my characters aren't living up to the requester's expectations. I know that my characters can be OTT and while that is what I enjoy writing, I do sometimes think "I hope Character isn't too over the top". I will often try to tone down a character if I feel like they're getting OTT, or that those involved with them don't seem too thrilled, or whatever.

For the longest time, I was convinced that Kayte didn't like how I played Daisy. That worry has since been gone because if Kayte RLY had a problem she would have probably told me in the years I've been playing her. xP <3 Overall, my confidence with my characters tends to grow the longer I play them because if they managed to stick around for years then clearly I'm not doing everything wrong, lol.

But yes. I get insecure. Most of the time it's just me jumping to conclusions than people going "I HATE YOU AND BOB D:<" because #anxiety, I guess. xP

That's one of the reasons I didn't take up adoptables for SO long. Yeah it was because I had difficulties keeping them active and getting posts for them, but THAT was because I was always afraid I was playing them wrong. I've since sorta gotten over that? Maybe? IDK? It's less anxiety-inducing when the other character I'm taking the adoptable for has less posts because I feel like I'm not ruining years of headcanons.

I listened to A Public Affair by Jessica Simpson on loop the entire time I was doing Laura's app. I have no regrets.

Sometimes I'm afraid to tell people I want to adopt one of their adoptables because I think they won't want me to and they'll just reluctantly let me because they don't want to be mean. #AnxietyStruggles
