For the most part, it is probably, because you know how it goes, easier to keep up with familiar stuff, right? ... That said, if I could be keeping up with people I know, I could be keeping up with people I don't, so that's not an excuse at all.

So thanks very much for the warning! I'll be on the lookout for this kind of thing from now on, and I'll make more of an effort to tagging outside of those people.

...I have held my silence for long enough. (No, I'm not the grudgewanking anon, but I agree with them to an extent ( ... )

First off, thanks for replying. I've been hoping for something honest like this, so I do appreciate it. Now, in regards to what you've said--

1. His (or your?) emphasis on his relationship with Kay and his existing friends over everything and everyone else.
I'm not sure if you mean lately, or just in general, but if it's more lately (the past month or so), stuff has been going on IRL and as a result, I've only really been able to keep up with the current CR he has. I'm not trying to make it an excuse, as I pointed out to the anon above you, but that is what happened and I've been trying to do better about that since it was pointed out to me and since I'm getting a better handle of things IRL. If you mean in general though, I'm not sure I agree with you, but I'll get to that further down I guess. And as far as castmates go, I'm not entirely sure what you mean? I may have missed a post or two, sure, but he's living with Crow and his mun and I have been talking about how they've been getting along while they've been together (though ( ... )

... no, 2/3! overthedratini October 20 2010, 18:18:41 UTC

That said, the way I noticed you tag only the same people with the same CR, you're probably going to get accused of circlejerking at some point, most likely. With Kay, you make it extremely obvious, maybe not even intentionally, that he and she have a lot of romantic tension and that you may OOCly ship them. She does too, honestly, but she's far less overt about it. You almost never tag your castmates anymore, unless I've missed something (the thread with Judai aside).
Johan has a crush on her, and they've gone on... two? dates now - and there are probably going to be some more in the future, and these are ~crazy new things~ he is exploring. I won't deny any of that. That said, even if they were to start dating and get married or whatever crazy thing you want, at the end of the day, they're still them. ... Which might not make much sense to you-- I guess what I'm trying to say is that if it seems like I've been, it really wasn't intentional. They're just tards like that, really. Ultimately, she's his "partner" (not like, romantic ( ... )

And then when they do speak, things get tense again.
This is something that we've both noticed, and we're... honestly not sure how it keeps happened. But with their most current thread, they managed to dork it up just fine despite not talking in a few weeks and all, and she and I both want to try to get them back in their dorking groove in the future as well. I suppose this, again, just comes back down to me not threading when I should have been. Again, I apologize.

But the way you currently handle your castmates and instead turn your attention to his existing close cross-fandom CR, when he should ideally be balancing out his relationships instead... it's setting off a lot of warning bells to me.Again, when it comes down to it, I think this was totally my fault, though I think that's probably clear by the time you'll have gotten down here. Honestly? I've been wanting him to have more people to talk to for a while now anyway, and I really will do my best to make that happen on my end and build CR with other characters and whatnot ( ... )

There's a distinct pattern with this character I'm seeing. Despite that you said in both comments in this very crit post a number of months ago that you would make more of an effort to tag outside your circle with him, it still has yet to really happen.

I've gone back through your posts and what I could find of your comments recently, and I noticed it hasn't changed all that much over time. It's still mostly the same characters who get the significant, CR-making threads, and if not the same handful of characters, the same handful of players. The most recent post in his journal was a nice shift away from this trend; there were a lot of long threads in that one, even though some of them were just him skirting around admitting he misses various people the whole time (which I'm concerned is OOC for him, mainly since the way he did it felt very, very off). So you may want to make a more concentrated effort to get Johan out and talking to different people, with players you may not know personally. I feel like the fact that you haven't been ( ... )

In regards to all of this-- Really, I'll be frank. At this point, this was all towards the end of Johan's life cycle, and to be quite honest, it was really tiresome and even painful to play him when every other time I logged in there was something on this post - not like this comment, but something like "you're dragging them down" or whatever other crap the people had decided to post ( ... )
