rpanons | I'm bad at this

Rundown:

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. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
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.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

seconding the anon above me on the Saber thing. i've seen it handled a few ways in different games from just ignoring it because It's Really Uncomfortable to talking with the Saber player and agreeing that while it's IC, setting strict boundary limits on how bad it can get before it gets too skeevy. You can always make it into an actual character storyline in order to work past it too.

The other thing I'd suggest? Consider how the Saber fixation comes from other relationships in Gil's history (specifically Enkidu.) The light novel makes it pretty clear that the Saber thing comes from the Enkidu thing because, quote the novel, "Like so, when he saw that man taking his last breath, the incomparable king realized – the way that this man, who was human but wanted to surpass humanity, had lived, was even more precious and more brilliant than all the treasures he had collected." So if you've gotta really work with it, reading that light novel scene can be a really useful thing
