“How about having some of them stuck to the ceiling too?”
“That works, too~ And maybe we can work out a reveal to where some of us are on the ceiling as well? Not stuck, of course, but to make it seem like they really are surrounded by Kids.”
“Well, the detectives are usually with the police. Unless they come after us alone, but if anything happens in a group, involving Kid(s)? The task force is going to be brought in. So it’s not like we’d be picking him out, but he might get caught up in it all, yes.”
Not that he’s showing any remorse about it…
“if you’re/we’re planning, then my only request is have all the police and detectives stuck to the floor at some point. Inside, outside, wherever, just so long as all the gathered Kids could then walk out and just grin before going off and continuing chaos. I’d want to see how long it takes the other’s brains to start working again after the image.”
(Just to say… theseasksgoingaround was why I made the Calling all the Kaitous amv.)
I keep seeing people complaining about feeling ignored. And some weeks I feel ignored, too. And sometimes I talk to people who have tried to say ‘no thank you, I’m not interested’ in 546378 different ways, and people take that as ‘I need to be more creative and persistent’.
It’s time we were honest;
Sometimes, an RPer is just not that into you.
They are begging for threads when it’s their turn on replies. They have a wishlist but they turn you down when you ask. Communication has drawn to a halt. You start every message with ‘hi sorry to bother you’. You nudge them repeatedly and they are unresponsive.
… they are just not that into you.
Here are some reasons why this might be the case:
You’re trying to write yourself into their background and it doesn’t work well with their headcanons.
Your writing styles are just unmeshy things. Oil. Water. Bam.
They don’t agree with some aspect of they way you play your character (and this doesn’t make you wrong; just incompatible). <– especially canons tbh. We all see them differently. Which is great.
They don’t mesh with some aspect of the way you run your blog generally – more ooc than they are comfortable with, too much negativity about fandoms, characters, ships or people, too many photos of your stamp collection.
Your styles clash. One of you likes heavy formatting and structure and the other likes things plain.
What you initially discussed is not unfolding right for them.
They just don’t feel it.
They have a lot of threads and they don’t want to cut down on others for one they’re lukewarm about.
None of these things are likely to be the case:
They hate you.
They think you suck.
This is NOT about ‘quality’ (i hate that word being used around here). It’s about compatibility.
Let me ask you… can you really enjoy a thread knowing you had to harass someone into it? I doubt it.
I am not talking about people who take a little longer than usual to reply, because our lives fluctuate. Or people who have long breaks (hooray, they have lives!). I mean when someone is around a lot and it’s just a constant impasse. Or your messages never get answered.
This does not mean you are a bad RPer. This means one thing: You are not compatible with the other writer. That is all, and it doesn’t reflect badly on you, or on them.
If someone goes on a date and it flops, we don’t blame them, right? And they can still be friends, or civil, or leave on okay terms.
This is a huge world. Really there are thousands of us. It sucks when someone you want to RP with just doesn’t seem that interested. But someone else will be interested. Stop chasing people who aren’t. It will be easier for you both.
Alright, so… I’ve had the urge to go through all the Magic Kaito chapters and post analyses on all of them. This won’t be a simple re-reading with reactions (though there might be some of those), but I mean to actually go in detail about what makes each chapter important, special, fun, and interesting. There will be random observations, offhand comments, and comparing to animated adaptations where possible. And general randomness. (Sometimes lamenting that there isn’t an animated adaptation, since that applies to every chapter still untouched.) I won’t be going over the robot and Silver the pirate, simply because I already made posts about those chapters and I don’t have much to add since then. (Though after looking them over, I might do Silver’s. I do have other parts of that I’ve thought about, but outside the point I was trying to make in that post.)
…Anyway, all that said, jumping right into chapter 1: Rebirth of the Phantom Thief.
(Quiet and solitude, mostly. My Kaito does like going out to rooftops at night for the peace. When he has someone he trusts, then hugs, general physical comfort, and that one person’s company. And I do mean he has to trust them, else he’s more likely to hide that he needs to get calm than let them help, and it’s the same sort of mentality if there’s more people. If he needs to get calm, then by that time, he doesn’t want a crowd, and doesn’t want people to see him. Idle movement wouldn’t calm him, but it does help get rid of pent up energy, especially nervousness or stress, and is a good sign he’s trying to calm down if he’s not in a position to do it his normal way.
(Of course, he only does that as Kaito, so if he’s Kid and has that same energy, he’d be tense as all heck. If he’s in a situation where he needs to calm down as Kid, it’s more likely he won’t until he’s alone, or the only person around is someone he can try relaxing around.))
( ´Д`)ノ(´・ω・`) ナデナデ:Does your muse pat others on the head? If not, do they get pat on their head?
(Kaito’s not really the type to pat people on the head. Maybe children, in a ‘good job’ sort of situation, but normally no. When he’s comfortable with people, he’ll make casual contact, but otherwise, he really doesn’t touch people directly too often. Most people don’t pat his head either, and he’d probably find it strange if they did at random. Whether or not he’d be okay with it depends.)
(゚⊿゚) :Is your muse in denial a lot?
(Hmm… In some ways. Yes, but things he’d be in denial about… his opinion’s changed. He held is father in much to high of regard, and that regard carried over when he found out about Kid, and took hold in the area of magic. He’s tried to make his choice to become a thief just, and he didn’t like magic being compared to something underhanded. Basically he’s denied that he’s doing anything too bad, but the longer he’s Kid, the harder it is to defend himself. He has good reasons, everyone would be on his side, but events that have happened make him wonder whether if he’s doing more permanent harm than good. He’s also in denial that he has some serious emotional issues and that he’s lonely. Technically the whole ‘I have to do this’ is a huge denial he can’t even see, if you think too much about it.
But it’s up to interpretation whether that’s ‘a lot’ of denial or not. It’s an underlying problem, so it’s not something that comes to the surface much.)
