Makin' my blorbos smooch is what gets me through the hard times

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 post personal information. This includes but is not limited to full names, addresses, phone numbers and so on.
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.
Do not solicit money, Dreamwidth points, or other currency unless you are offering a good or service in return.

More of a joy than a woe, but it's nice to play someone that I've picked up all on my own. The joy and enthusiasm I feel when I come back to my inbox is so real, I love it. I haven't felt it in a while. It makes me all buzzy, and I think about tags and threads all throughout the day.

I'm sticking this in woes because I'm realizing that I've been picking up characters to make other people happy, and those muses really aren't as fun. Like if my friend is complaining that no one plays the other half of their ship, I'll create a journal to play that other person. Or if I see someone on BS and/or EMP looking for a particular character and I feel bad to see that they haven't found them. I'll make a journal and play them.

To be clear, I still enjoy the characters playing for my friends. If I totally hated the character, I probably wouldn't be able to write them. In these cases, it's more like a character that I already liked in media, but didn't like enough to consider writing, but now that someone else wants them, I'll do more research into them and try writing them.

I'm just noticing a difference in how I feel when I'm picking up a muse because I genuinely enjoy them and enjoy playing them, and when I'm picking up a muse because I want to make someone else happy.

i get that, nonny. I love picking up ship partners/castmates for friends, it's really fun for me, buuut there's a whole different kind of fun when playing a character just for yourself. I hope you get to do lots of stuff with them.
