Thoughts On Wolfspeak?

[Ouuka]

I find some of it annoying, use simple words for my simple mind D:

[Tetsune]

As pretty and fancy as that is, that's disgusting lol
It's just like adapting yourself to talk like any of the Trolls in Homestuck.

MiRiClEs MaN.

But anyway.
As Shuske had said, using out-of-the-ordinary words like "Orbs" for eyes is trying to make your character sound like the most beautiful thing on the planet, or trying to impress.
Much like a Mary-Sue.

Most of wolfspeak actually lacks plot. It's just all about your character in the sun/moonlight with the wind flowing through their fur and flowers popping up wherever they walk.
I don't believe it counts as a bridge for mary-sue/gary-stus however, though it may seem like it. Those types of characters can be found everywhere.

I used to use it a lot. Like using orbs, tassel and so forth :I

The only real things I use anymore is fae, alphess and brute for a larger creature. xD

Everyonce in awhile I'll catch myself slip up and say orbs audits and spazz out :I

I've seen this before, personally I think it's just "what on earth are you trying to say" and "you sound ridiculous please stop."

If I were ever in a rp with it, I don't think I could take it seriously because of how silly the terms get.

[Tearless]

Ah, I wondered about this. Didn't realize there was a name for it. XD I first noticed it when I started running a literate RP and noticed that all the samples I was getting sounded like something Shakespeare would write after a few pints. And that everyone was using the same weird synonyms.

It kind of bugs me, and I avoid using it myself... but to me it's better than the alternative of chatspeak, so I'm willing to deal with it.

[VexedCourage]

I've been roleplaying for years and never once used wolfspeak/horsespeak. I find it distasteful and avoid using it at all costs. However I will not discriminate against those who wish to use it.

[Abomine]

So that's what it's called! Good lord, it's like trying to read ye olde Shakespeare, except that Shakespeare had a sense of poetry and a clever way with words. This is just ridiculous, like a really dumb person trying to sound "deep" or "smart."

[BlackVortex]

I think it's OK, just if your RP is using it lots make sure you all agree on it so no one gets annoyed. On wolf Quest, I have never heard anyone talk like this, apart from alas for female and led for male. So I guess it moved to Feral Heart and out of Wolf Quest.

The thing with wolfquest was years ago, before this new silly lexicon.
