Unfunny wanky stereotypes

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

Re: ORIGINAL CHARACTERS

I attempt to allow the ship to play out organically in game. My character may be actively looking, but they're going to strike out a fair number of times and I know it. If good chemistry in scenes happens and the other player is amenable, then the ship is more likely.

Honestly, though, I don't look to OCs or canons, drawn or live action specifically. I think limiting myself just sets a pre-existing block that doesn't make any IC sense. I prefer to be open-ended on it.

My current favorite ship I've got an OC in is a sort of awkward hateship with glimmers of other emotions. Both characters are complete morons about it as a rule, though they're getting smarter as time goes about how to treat each other. It's a canon/OC ship, and it used to get a bit of wank, but I think people are sort of used to it by now mostly. The ones who don't want to deal with it opted out ages ago, and the rest either enjoy the stupidity or don't care. No skin off my hide. We have fun and we put mature locks up when we need to. No harm no foul.
