how do you deal with playing a "punching bag" character without coming across like you're burring ic/ooc?
i'm told i'm a very good [x] who is an intelligent but comic relief kind of character, that i'm a good writer, have good characterization, etc. i'm very flattered, but it feels like other players really like using my character as a prop? or they hone in much more on the "comic relief" hooks and ignore the "they are also actually very intelligent and can be useful in the event in this and that way" kinds of hooks. it gets really frustrating and then i get frustrated at myself because i can't think of any way to frame this problem without appearing like i'm butthurt, or asking other players to write in a certain way.
