Die Tonight. Livve forevver: On the subject of disliked/cruel characters

twinfoldarchivist:

marquismindfang:

Not putting this under a cut because it needs to be read, and I will probably be reblogging it a lot.

As you all may remember from quite a while back, a magic anon turned Scorpius female.

I made a genuine effort to be true to the character. I was mean, cruel, a sort of…

((Alright, now I know someone’s going to call me out on white-knighting but seriously? This is ridiculous. Heroes get nowhere without their antagonists and if there was no one to play the antagonistic characters then the worlds we’ve ALL created in our heads would be fucking pointless. Good needs bad.

Does this mean the Moderator is a bad person? No. It means they understand the grasp it takes to play multi-faceted characters and apply their skills well. They can analyze and break down the motivations of the more ‘unsavory’ characters and if anything should be lauded for such accomplishment, not targeted. I find this to be absolutely repulsive and pathetic, as a roleplayer who’s main character typecast is the antagonist/batshit/dark character. I feel my ability is offended and above all insulted by foolish immaturity like this. I’m not an evil person. I love helping people. I’m going into nursing to devote my life to caring for the weak and sick. Just because I can get into the heads of serial killers, murderers, and mad scientists and emulate them in fantasy does not make me a madman in reality.

Grow. The. Fuck. Up.

And to those of you who play these characters, continue to do so. Don’t let anyone stop you because people like you and I are just as important to the roleplaying community. I applaud every single one of you for your talent at playing the darker side to the coin. It isn’t always easy, it presents challenges that are much more difficult than white-knighting your way through every series (not to say heroes can’t rp too! Not saying that at all!)

Don’t ever be discouraged for your talent.))

(( Did you know alot of Tricksters go quiet or Innactive for the very same reason? :\ I mean, yeah, we’re not entirely ‘Canon Characters’, but after a while is any roleplayer really canon? So much development happens.. but.. that’s not the point. Point is, if there’s an evil/murderous/clinically insane character or what have you, that in no way means the Mun or the Person behind the character is the same way. And like the Marquis (Stormy, love that woman platonically) said, most of this shit that we do has to be planned and approved by the other roleplayer first. You may not SEE IT, because we may do it in Asks, or Tags, or external messengers, but most the shit we do we ask. Because we don’t want to trigger people, we don’t want to upset people OOC, and we want both parties having FUN. Okay? ))

((oh my god i hate when people i’ve/pinkamena’s never met come up like, ‘YOU MONSTER, YOU WILL PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID BLAH BLAH’

because um, didn’t ‘cupcakes’ take place secretly in her basement? okay sure, they might have noticed rainbow dash was missing afterward, but they would only know a few details if any, right? i haven’t read any of the sequels but logically speaking, i’m sure rumors would have spread, but not much more

and it’s not like everypony would know all the details even if she was found out

it drives me crazy

i haven’t gotten any crap ooc, but it bugs me when like random people who have nothing to do with me, or even the mane six probably, lunge at me to exact justice or something with their fancy demon wings and sharingans and bazookas and ancient magic or something

or on the other hand, are like ‘oh i’ve seen your work, let’s be friends’

like no

she’s feeding an unsuspecting naturally vegetarian public meat from their kind

meat from which its victims were brutally tortured beforehand in the basement, then carefully and cleverly disguised into baked goods

how could you hear about that!?

like

i don’t even know))

((I have crazy amounts of respect for people who can be evil characters or mean characters and can actually manage to keep it up, and not only be able to manage a little deviation/development without losing the spirit of the character itself, but also manage to separate IC from OOC without being mean OOC or not being able to continue RPing as the character (because face it, if you met someone who was not only a complete insufferable ass IC, but also a complete insufferable ass OOC, it’d be awful.)

I’m sure I could play some mean-ass dick or whatever and do well, but after a week or so? All the energy would be taken out of me and I couldn’t do it anymore. I wouldn’t be able to play someone or somepony who is an absolute ass without NEEDING to find some form of retribution. Which is why I love RP’ers like Pinkamena, Clyde, Nightmare Moon, and then various RP’ers from different fandoms; they can manage to do well and not falter.

So congrats, and don’t let anyone tell you OOC that you suck and need to die or fuck you or whatever.))

clydepietheminer:

“13.” Clyde was a big man. It was one of his only traits that he couldn’t purposely use to intimidate someone. Although people tended to stray away from an almost 7 foot tall man covered in dirt who also smelled like dirt.

Rarity glanced down at his feet and back up at Clyde and wrote down the shoe size. She took a final lookover at him and nodded. “Well then, I got everything I need! Please come back after you finished your job, and I’ll give you the clothing, Mister…?”

Think fast Clyde, think fast Clyde, think fast- “Pac. Mister Pac” His face maintained its tombstone rigidity, betraying no form of emotion whatsoever. If he was right, everyone might have already known who he was, and for the life of him, he couldn’t afford, wouldn’t afford, and refused to let his past actions creep back in and pull the rug from beneath his feet.

Of course, Rarity didn’t know anything concerning Clyde, and nodded and wrote down Mister Pac. With a smile, she put her stuff down at the desk and shook his hand. “Thank you sir! Come back when you’re done with your job! Trust me, you won’t regret it!”

clydepietheminer:

Clyde stood around and began looking at the clothes, dresses, suits, and other accessories present about the place. The air had a nice fragrance too it, a nice contrast to the rocky, musty smell of the rock farm. (Just a hat, maybe a five minutes and then I’m out of here) He told himself. (Maybe, ask for some air freshener. Maybe.)

Rarity came back downstairs, measuring tape in-hand. With almost no warning, she started measuring the length of Clyde’s arms, legs, and head. She prodded Clyde to move a bit and measured his waist, as well as his total height. After a minute or two of writing down the measurements, she looked back up at Clyde. “So, one more question; what’s your shoe size? I can make you some clothes, get some fitting shoes, and a hat as well!”

Sun, 08 Jan 2012 13:02:10 -0500

clydepietheminer:

He was too tired to put up any opposition. His head hurt, he sprained his back getting up this morning, and maybe he could at least use a new hat. “Fine.” He said begrudgingly. He walked into the boutique and was struck by the fragrance lingering in the air.

Rarity bounced her way into the boutique and had Clyde stand by a flat surface she put up especially for measuring. She went behind the main desk and looked all over for the measuring tape, but she couldn’t find it. A small series of swears found their way out of her mouth before she popped back up sighing. “I’m going to go upstairs and get the measuring tape, alright? I’m sure it’s upstairs anyway. I’ll be less than 5 minutes!” Rarity quietly walked upstairs, not wanting to wake a sleeping Sweetie Belle.

"Rarity had to go on a little trip."

Rarity sighed and groaned a bit. “I’m sure, but she’s such a handful… I can hardly keep track of her with the crusading and stuff, and I can’t imagine her running around with all my tools.”

“Why not go out to an amusement park for a day with her? That’s fun!”

“Hmm… do you know of any? I’m not familiar with any amusement parks.”

Sun, 08 Jan 2012 12:45:52 -0500

clydepietheminer:

He moaned a bit to himself and sped up his walking by an increment. “I would love to miss, but I must get back to my job! Very important things and I don’t have the money to pay right now!”

Rarity went over and walked in front of Clyde, with begging eyes. “But this outfit… It won’t do! You don’t have to pay right now, don’t worry! I am an expert at making clothing, if I can’t get a full outfit done for you in under an hour, I’ll give it to you for free! Just come inside, let me take some measurements, tell me where you work, and I’ll drop it off!” Rarity continued staring him down, her eyes pleading and begging.

“Hello sir. Is there any way I can help you?”

Clyde had merely been walking through the city. He figured a good walk and maybe some fresh air would do him some good. The last thing he could remember was a scantily clad woman hitting him with a spell and then black out. “Ah, er. No. Just passing through miss.” He looked at the boutique with interest. He’d probably come back and maybe buy himself a new hat or something.

Rarity looked at the man closer and observed his clothing. It was… outdated, dirty, scuffled, messy! It hardly fit Clyde, not in size, but in fashion! This wouldn’t do. “Sir, I insist you come in here right this minute! Your clothing seems to be a bit… How do I put this, drab, and I can just as easily make you some new threads for before you leave!”

"Rarity had to go on a little trip."

“I wonder if I should close the Boutique off for a while… I mean, I’d lose money, but she really does want to spend more time with me, and I with her.”

“Rarity that’s a good idea! Or lighten up your load! You’ve been working soooo hard, and I think you and Sweetie Bell SHOULD hang out more!” Pinkie grinned. “I think she’d appreciate that!”

Rarity sighed and groaned a bit. “I’m sure, but she’s such a handful… I can hardly keep track of her with the crusading and stuff, and I can’t imagine her running around with all my tools.”

H: Just so I can state this and then be of: We have nothing against the fluffy, caffeinated one. But the straight haired one is evil incarnate. That is all.

“No, she is not! She is a good friend, and regardless of which Pinkie it is, they’re all the same to me. I suppose that since you’ve been nicer, I can get you a small cup of coffee, but after that, please leave.”
