I feel like you could keep a psychologist/therapist character going for many years in dwrp

never a lack of shitshows

lol I have said this before

every jamjar needs a licensed therapist. they'd make BANK

^^^^

I've been tempted to app a therapist character before lmao

It's a running joke for me in VT that whenever a new car is added to the train, I suggest a therapy car

Too bad all the therapist/psychologist characters also tend to need their own...

Or they may need one after dealing with all the characters in dwrp

You'd probably also need a psychologist/therapist playing them, because there is a lot of Stuff in character backgrounds. ^^;;

Not necessarily. It won't be realistic, but this is also RP so, you know.

I mean any kind of doctoring in rp is already pretty handwavey

There are also a lot of fantasy societies that might have entirely different methods. Hell, even with earth characters time period will drastically change the therapy. I don't think you have to be an actual psych to play a character that is one, the character doesn't have to be correct

I once back in my days at Route 29 pondered what it would be like to play Doctor Frasier Crane there.

And this was one of the less messed-up worlds.

My only character that fits is still a teen... but she is studying bc her mom is very mentally ill and she wants to understand/help other people

I feel like it would run a really big risk of burning the player out under the sheer weight of how many characters need therapy

Having played a character who was really driven to help and be in everyone’s business, yeah, it’s exhausting

I feel like the only times I've seen characters be therapists in game, it's been like

Harleen Quinzel. Jonathan Crane. Hannibal Lector.

I have one character who actually is a licensed therapist and diplomat.

She looks at DWRP and just walks the other way, flipping a double deuce the whole while.

broke: a well meaning therapist/psych woke: an evil character that happens to be a therapist/psych

the one I was thinking of specializes in violent childhood trauma which is like 75% of DWRP lol

I'd be terrified of getting something wrong lmao. Not that we should be taking our rl cues from rp, but sometimes people just... people.

ꜱᴘʀɪɴɢ ʙʀᴇᴀᴋᴇʀꜱ : who's going to take the plunge and app hannibal to a game...

RP: hard mode
