RP insecurities? hahaha who doesn't have them?
Cherry
So I worry that I'm either pushy or boring and there's no in between
Cherry
That I'm not fun to play with and everyone is just humoring me
Cherry
It's not bad right now though.
Cherry
Mostly badbrains have come in the form of motivation leeches
Cherry
Oh, a persistent but highly specific one is a worry that I'm not portraying Enoch's mental health situation respectfully, you'll see this on every HMD because in spite of research and first- and secondhand knowledge of various parts of it (the depression in particular) and canon examples to draw on it's still possible to fuck it up
Cherry
Especially with it plunging to depths canon never explored without an outside agent to remove for a quick fix
Cherry
"quick fix" actually being ten years Earth time, which is...huh. I mean now that I think about it that's one hell (no pun intended) of a good metaphor
Cherry
find your way back to yourself and ten years have passed you by
Cherry
I mean. recovery doesn't take that long for everyone ofc (and takes longer in others) but you know what I mean
Cherry
at least I hope
Cherry
speaking of the insecurity that spawned this, here I am outside of RP wondering if I've just put my foot in my mouth instead
Cherry
hell yeah social disorder club
Cherry
oh yeah, I almost forgot... my main character is from the Bronze Age and several societal norms were very, VERY different, including some heavy and taboo subjects being neither heavy nor taboo and I am afraid of offending whenever it comes up
Cherry
Good thing they are not subjects that normally do
Cherry
and that Enoch is spectacularly open-minded
Cherry
which takes care of a lot
