What time is it? Thaaaaat's right, time for Paradox's rants, version two point oh, again in convenient list format! Hopefully it won't be seven paragraphs this time.
I'm aiming for eight.LovebirdsSo, this is something I actually just saw a few minutes ago, and really, it drives me
crazy. Now, I have no problem with people being couples. Good for them. What bugs me is when they just constantly fawn over each other, and completely ignore everyone else. Now, I don't know about the rest of you, but I hate having to read "affectionately licks her cheek", "I love you more than anything in the world", etc. in between my conversations about video games, books, whatever. If I could turn it off, I would, but this tends to happen within group chat, where all my friends are talking. Did I mention this section has another, twice as annoying tier to itself? When one of the lovebirds leaves, the other moans and groans about it. "Misses his mate", "Sighs and stares at empty space", etc. (Paradox, why do you only ever provide two examples? I don't know. You'll get three next time, random bystander.) are both common and irritating. So please, if you're going to be all lovey-dovey
before breaking up within a few weeks, please just do it in whisper.
"THERE MUST BE PEACE."Oooh, boy. Okay, so these are the people that, at the
very slightest hint of any kind of conflict, immediately start repeating "Guys, don't fight." Alright, look. A little debate is healthy in any community. It's better to get your feelings vented and reach a solution rather than shutting up and letting things simmer. Granted, I'm not saying people should let others just "fight it out" all the time; things can get out of hand, at which point, yes, you should probably being trying to play the peacemaker. But, really, this shouldn't be happening:
Player1: Wow, Portal 2 is awesome! I just finished co-op with a friend!
Player2: I hate that game.
Player1: Oh, why is that?
Player2: It's confusing.
Player1: Well, it gets better if you play it a little.
Player3: Guys, don't fight.
MY EXAMPLES SUCKBut you get the point.
I hope?
Copyrighted CharactersAlright, I know I said I wouldn't turn this into a rant in my last obnoxiously long post of venting. BUT LOOKS LIKE I LIED. Honestly, this has bugged me since the very first day I logged into FH. The point of the game is to make your own character and roleplay with them, yet I'm seeing hundreds of characters from Naruto, Ouran Highschool Host Club, Hetalia, etc. (THREE EXAMPLES). And the point of these characters? Well, I've read through some of the posts these "fan-rpers" make (as they often roleplay in local), and when you get down to it, really, it's just fanfiction. People rping they favorite ships, or pairing their own OCs (original characters) with the canon ones. If you're gonna do that, just go to a forum or write some fanfiction of your own! Honestly, is it necessary to make those characters as a feline or canine and rp that way? To me, it just seems like even more work that you need to go through.
Miserable Martyrs who Mope and Moan, Much to our MelancholyP1: Hey, guys! I just finished this book!
P2: Oh, cool!
P3: How was the ending?
P1: Well, first, I gotta say I was really happy with how it went with Bob and Lucy.
P4: No one cares.
P1: Something wrong?
P4: No.
P1: O...kay. So, anyway, I was so happy that Steve finally died!
P4: *sighs*
P1: Really, Player 4, what's wrong?
P4: None of your business.
P1: ....So, Jill just kind of vanished, which was confusing.
P4: Just shut up.
P1: Seriously, Player 4, what is it?
P4: NOTHING.
If that made no sense to you, my dear reader, let me expand on the subject. My particular rant here would be about those "dark, tortured" souls that I see so often. I briefly mentioned them in my last rant, I believe. Anyway, I'm going into a little more detail this time. You see, these anguished individuals sigh and mope around, and then get offended when you try to help them. This happens enough IRL, and isn't exactly pleasant, but some people can't hide their emotions. But in this case, the person is
typing out the emotion, and then claiming there's nothing to be concerned about. If you're gonna act like a whiny little kid, expect us to ask your reason for whining, and don't act all shocked when we don't believe you after you claim there's nothing wrong.
"BE MY FATHER."Now these people...I never really understood them. They're the ones who don't even ask if you'd like to be their "parent." Usually, you'll be in a group, temporary or long-term, just chatting or whatever. Suddenly, one of the cubs/pups of the group says "Brb" and vanishes for a few minutes. Naturally, you think nothing of it. When they return, however, you can't help but notice that they look uncannily like your character. Perhaps you make some kind of joking comment about it. After all, best not to jump to conclusions. But then the person comes and sits by you, and says "Like father, like son
"
Um.
Since when are you my child?
Honestly, I just don't get it, but when this does occur, it sets my teeth on edge. In my opinion, randomly making your character a clone of mine, then claiming they're "related" borders on copycatting. Not to mention that my character has an entire history,
none of which contained sex lulvirgin which you shall not be randomly interfering with. I haven't seen this for a while (maybe because I haven't rped on FH in a while), but I figured I may as well put it here.
Well, I think that's it for now. Hopefully I won't have to edit this with yet another paragraph like last time xD;; This is Paradox, punching the next wolf named "Dark" (or some variety of it) she sees. See you in the game~!
