2. What drew you to rping this character? (since I did 3 last time)

I liked that he was different from the other Gosho boys on so many different levels, and that we know enough about him to get his voice, but so that I could pick and choose his entire backstory. Such a luxury! I got to decide which elements I wanted to explore within the context of the character and story, choosing things that were deliberately contrasting to the others and… yes. <3 Plus I love that he’s a walking contradiction… one of the good guys who really can be such a jerk. Ahhh! <3 

6. What’s something about your character that you wouldn’t like if you had to spend time with them?

Ugh he would comment on everything that I do because I’m very lazy and sloppy and terrible at being on time. My management skills are crap and I’m kind of REALLY unreliable. Constant criticism. I’d probably whine at him a lot. 

25. What’s your least favorite AU? (since I did 24 last time)

I want to say zombie survival because I have never found a zombie AU that I like, but then Yuki and I were talking about one a couple of weeks ago that seemed okay… but then, we kind of turned it into a mutated radiation alien magical warping thing, and added Wonderland elements, so… uh… 

I wouldn’t enjoy a ‘being trapped in a video game’ AU, though. Probably.

28. What do you like about roleplaying angst? (since I did 27 last time)

Angst, with purpose, can really show so many deeper levels of a character. I put the characters through horrible situations to really show what they’re made of, to give them deeper conflicts, and to see how their core holds up against them. Will they rise above it? How are they going to cope? What will they do to rise above it and fix their problems? How are they going to resolve everything? It’s a fascinating way to get development, let them express and explore the deeper, darker sides of life and themselves, and… well, the violence and emotional turmoil is all pretty much universally relatable for the readers, too. 

30. What do you like about roleplaying fluff?

You need balance in everything, and fluff (especially fluff with purpose, in which case it’s not really fluff anymore IMO) is perfect for breaking up the tension… giving the reader and characters a break, to help establish new and reestablish old status quos from which to continue the story… the lull before the storm… We won’t know how bad things are if we don’t have a baseline to go from. And if you keep tension too tight, it starts to lose meaning and interest.

3. What’s something you like about how you write?

I think that some of my literary references are pretty clever, even if most never even notice. Oops. I’m also really fond of weaving character thought in with description/action, and hope that the balance is decent. I work really hard on my characterization, too.

4. What’s something you dislike about how you write or wish you were better at?

There are TONS of words/phrases that I overuse. My characters always smirking, nodding, shrugging, tilting their heads, and sighing. Also blinking. They blink a lot. That drives me NUTS. I need to come up with some new/fresh things for them to do so it’s not always stock actions. 🙁

5. What’s something about your character that you’d like if you had to spend time with them?

I really like that Hakuba’s always trying to joke around, even though no one gets it. I would probably think he’s hilarious. When I was hanging out with my brit friends last summer, I just couldn’t stop laughing because their sense of humor is so dry and sarcastic and subtle and I just EAT that stuff up.

7. What’s a negative thing about your character that you enjoy writing?

He’s critical and pretentious, defensive and argumentative. I LOVE writing his banter, letting him rant, and getting him into trouble. I’ve put a lot of work into writing him being a justifiable sweetheart at his core, but I have NO intentions of getting rid of his silver-tongued sarcasm and critical wit. He is still an antagonist in terms of character role in his series, and I want to let him have those moments where he really is just being an ass. It’s so fun. Especially since real people all have their limits and flaws, and Hakuba is no different. 

10. What’s the hardest thing for you to write?

NSFW/Kissing/anything sexual, really. OMG I have zero confidence with it. Z E R O. I like to play up the emotional/literary parts of the narrative, get super vague, and cut to black curtain and summary. This isn’t really a problem, though I do get really shy/embarrassed about it when it’s brought up. LOL. Want hot, steamy makeouts? UHHHH … … .. ‘/////’ ;;;; h-how I don’t even… And the more graphic, the more timid I get. Which I guess is silly considering I’m married and everything… 

11. Do you think you’ve gotten better at writing anything or any type of thing or situation since you started writing this character (or roleplaying in general)?

Most of my non-RP stuff is written in first person, so I think my third person writing has improved a TON while doing this blog. Also, I think I’m getting better at style/word choice for the narrative per character. The way I write things for Hakuba is completely different for Conan, for example, but hopefully consistent enough for my author voice? IDK. And in RP, I hope I’m getting better at pacing because omg I sometimes drag scenes out too long when I should skip over things…

24. What’s your favorite AU?

Ughh that’s hard. It would probably be Pokemon or Daemons… the first because I love what I did with Shinichi in it, and Hakuba’s a dragon master, the second because there was so much involvement with the organization and their daemons were so rad…

27. What’s a ship you would never rp? For what reason? 

There are plenty of ships I wouldn’t (like Kaishin, because I prefer the platonic/brother relationship for them), but with Hakuba specifically…? The person that comes to mind first is Aoko, because I just can’t get my Hakuba interested in her. She’s too immature for him, or so he says. But I don’t know if that’s a never ever, or just a hasn’t happened. Hakuba’s ridiculously compatible with a lot of people. 

52. What’s a trope or plot you think is overdone in roleplay?

IDK… pregnancy scares and miscarriages? Especially when no research is done? It just bothers me, probably for personal reasons. I mean, sure, a little is fine and it happens, but I hate when there is unnecessary drama with no real conflict or consequence, and when it’s completely unrealistic… ugh. Think about how your characters would REALLY REACT if they were real, people! PLEASE. Also, google. Google is everyone’s friend, IC and OOC.

53. What’s a trope or plot you’ll never get sick of roleplaying?

Hurt/comfort/injury/arguing/violence/tough decisions/whatever  I don’t even know I just like writing about violence and emotional pain as long as it progresses the plotline. 

I guess that’s really what it is for me… it’s gotta be for the story. Character development, plot progression, etc. Otherwise, it won’t really hold my interest for long. T_T

In case anyone was wondering why I use Yukiko-in-disguise as a face claim for Hakuba’s mother… I realize that it’s probably just that Gosho has same-face syndrome, but still. 🙂 Also, the reason why my icons are all dirty and filtered is because I knew it would be impossible to get high-res versions of most […]

“Hmm… Munneko-chan originally studied animation at university, but switched to double majoring in English (emphasis in creative writing) and Illustration a year into the program. She suddenly dropped out with only one and a half years left due to illness, however. I know she intends to go back and finish eventually…”

((My drafts say 81, but after counting, it looks like the number of actual RP replies is really in the realm of, say, 32~, some of which I’m pretty sure I can just delete… that’s comforting. It’s still going to take a while to get through, and I need to sleep soon, but hey! It’s not as hopeless as it seemed!))
