I'M FAMOUS

[effervescible]

From the anon meme:

jaina

She's a decent enough Rukia, but I heard about her from some folks who wanted to recruit her for a game I'm in, and so I checked her out and was...well...not blown away like I was expecting to be. What's the deal? Why is she such a legend?

And then someone replied and called me mediocre. Which stings a bit, but that's better than "oh man she's shitty." Honestly, kind words are always nice, but I don't want to be overpraised; sets up false expectations I can't possibly live up to. If anyone actually made me sound like some kind of legendary Rukia RPer, I want the kind of crack they're smoking. If I can make it to "pretty good Rukia RPer" then I'm happy.

You just get everywhere, don't you? ;)

Not even! That's the funny thing, I tend to play in smaller games or don't make a big splash in the games I am in, so I'm not really the type of person to get mentioned in anon memes, whether they're about the love or the hate. It's doubly funny because I KNOW this person was referencing Checkmate-Rukia and not the one I've been playing for months longer, and Checkmate is so teeny, relatively speaking.

Well, leave them to their biases, I should say. You can't please everyone, especially people disinclined to like the character in the first place.

It's like this: someone really liked your ideas, fluttered at someone else how good you were, and suddenly TWO PEOPLE ARE THE ENTIRE INTERNET, OMG ZOMG.

Hee hee. I'm honestly not upset. I mean, no one LIKES to be called mediocre, but there are much, much worse things to be called, and I know other people like me. And it would freak me out if everyone thought I was Queen Rukia or something because I'd be so paranoid about every word. So I'm pretty satisfied the way things are.

LOOK WHO FORGOT TO SWITCH LOGINS

Ugh. another one of those things is making the rounds? Blah. If I could pelt people like that with huge chunks of coal I would.

Hahaha holy shit that is like the /cgl/ of fandom rp!

too lazy to switch

I LOVE YOU.

[jaina.livejournal.com]

That sums it up pretty well!

I think there are some topics in it that are kinda interesting, but I'll pass on ones that poop all over people. I'd feel like a big hypocrite if I participated in those without ever giving people crit.

<3 Thanks? XD

I also want to point out that there were a lot of people saying 'JESUS IGNORE THE ANON MEME' this go-round, enough it hit my radar. I suspect a lot of people skipped it this time, which means most of the people on there were probably grinding their axes.

[jaina.livejournal.com]

Heh, could be. And it's not like people were like "ZOMG THAT WHOREBITCH SUCKS." It's really not too bad! (Although elsewhere, someone said that the Renji I used to play at poly was awful and they felt bad for the Rukia and Byakuya I played with. Which was very funny, cuz I ended up being good friends with both those players and they never had a problem with him.)

OH INTERNET DRAMU.

There's usually so much hate spewing in those that I just generally avoid reading them whatsoever. There may be good stuff, but it's so hard to find.

[jaina.livejournal.com]

You have more willpower than me. XD I should've mentioned that part too. I did enjoy the "most epic/hilarious in-game deaths" thread this time around though.

[nomoreprinces.livejournal.com]

Heh. Been caught up in it one too many times for my liking so I try to avoid it.

People also seem to forget that, hey, there's more than one way to interpret a character! CRAZY.
