VI Just when you think this can't get THAT much worse, here comes the first of the last three posts (for Day One, anyway) that will redefine awful. She's spent the last seven hours constructing a mountainous facade of lies, empty claims and outright contradictions. Now the scales start to tip and everything comes crashing down in a glorious catastrophe.
WARNING: ANIMATED GIF PARTY UNDER THE CUT. Best if read after your browser has had a minute to finish loading them.
This is where I finally start to regain my senses. The cluelessness and contradictions have become so great even I-- in my confused and falsely mollified state-- cannot miss them. As we leave the eye of the storm, I propose a way to get Rasu involved as the bodyguard. She wants to see how they get along before the abduction because Yuna has such a ph34r-worthy temper. I point out Rasu's got a temper, too.
[redacted]: XD This should be interesting. Perhaps we should sell tickets and popcorn if they have a spat.
Izumiz Angel: Isn't likely to be much of a contest, if Yuna is an indebted "decoration" and Rasu is a fighter-for-hire turned bodyguard XD
[redacted]: *evil grin* Yuna secretly likes it rough--I mean, uh. :-X
As people who are physically and sexually abused do. Ahem. GO DIRECTLY TO PSYCH 101. DO NOT PASS GO, DO NOT COLLECT $200.
And I have to feign amusement, too-- ugh.
Izumiz Angel: LOL! Rasu would need permission for that first ;D
[redacted]: Rasu might get "permission" in the form of certain...evidence of Yuna enjoying himself if Rasu happens to pin him down at some point. O:-)
WHY DO I ENCOURAGE HER? Now I feel like I need to clarify just based on how many times she's shown keenness for him to rape Yuna. Because HELLO, AROUSAL =/= CONSENT. She happily ignores this clarification.
Also, why would Rasu ever be pinning him down? Isn't that like, the ANTITHESIS of his job?!
Who cares! She pretends to gripe about how it just figures that her first uke in too long is kinky. Except somehow, I reeeeeeeeeeaally really doubt it's her first uke in too long. She's been horribly inflexible about playing anything but an abused uke as her main character.
Unfortunately, I’m still trying to be civil and accommodating towards potential RP despite all my reservations which were ignored one after the other. I don't know, blame it on relucatance to give up after putting in so many hours of my time already. I respond to her comment about kinkiness with Rasu's turn-ons. This includes strength, which he measures relative to his own. Or, as I explain it to her, "positions where a single person is able to overpower him, since it doesn't happen all that often."
[redacted]: Oooh. ...Yuna's very similar, though he tends to like control being taken from him.
...*flips back*
“It basically just drives Yuna nuts, because he's very independent and strong willed--he hates not being in control”
I think it's worth noting that this is the first mention she's seen of anything to indicate Rasu's tastes in a partner, as she's never once asked me what he's interested in or attracted to. I find this funny, because I'd think that after limiting me down to just this one character and insisting on a yaoi game, she might want to put a little more consideration into HER character choice so we don't have one of those FORCED ROMANCES she's said she hates so much.
Also worth noting is that she didn't ask about this either-- it's something I volunteered, and let's ALSO note IT IS A COMPLETE IMPOSSIBILITY FOR HER SKINNY WISP OF A TEA-SERVER. Yuna couldn't take on a muscular, experienced fighter like Rasu and win if his life depended on it. It also CLASHES against Yuna's own proclaimed preferences, as she's now saying he likes having something very similar happen to him. They can't BOTH be the one overpowered.
Yet it never occurs to her that maybe Yuna is a bad match for him.
[redacted]: Yuna will deliberately antagonize someone until they snap, even if he knows he'll get hurt for it. He's...messed up, poor boy. ;-)
...Oh, I get it now! THIS is why you wanted them to have some time together before the abduction! Now that it's finally clear I will not budge on Rasu's nature, you've decided, "If he won't hurt my Stu out of natural sadism, I'll just drive him to doing it!"
[redacted]: I'll give you a heads-up now -- Yuna's past is rather angst-filled, and he does come across as rather emotionally unstable, and perhaps a bit overly feminized as well. I like to think I have the skill to pull these cliches off without them becoming trite, though. ;-)
Oh, goodie, there's more angst in his history if we ever manage to get past "I've been turned into a gang leader's drag queen whore."
Wait a minute.
Overly feminized?
Izumiz Angel: What's he look like out of costume, so to speak? I'm just curious.
[redacted]: Hmm...*thinks* ethnically, he's Japanese, so he has black hair down to his mid-back, dark brown eyes, and lightly tanned skin. He's about 5'7" and very slim.
[redacted]: Yuna is, of course, not his real name. ;-) Out of costume, he dresses fairly normally for a gay male of his age, around 23, and likes to accessorize. His general genre/style is gothy punk-ish, I guess -- a lot of metal and spikes.
"stereotypes are boring."
Izumiz Angel: Rasu is 5'5 as a teenager... I wonder how much taller he'll get. Rasu's got flame red hair and blue eyes, and has the build of, well, a martial artist. He's not like a bodybuilder with bulging muscles, but they're definitely visible and traceable.
[redacted]: Mmmm.
Izumiz Angel: I've drawn a few pictures of him, which I can show, but beware I have absorbed an anime style into my art ^^;
[redacted]::-) Cool.
[redacted]: I generally don't use pictures for my characters, because I'm too lazy to find ones that fit. XD
Come on, honey, the least you could want to know about the character you expect to boink your Stu is how pretty he is!
Annoyed at her ongoing disregard for and disinterest in anything that isn't Yuna, I send links to two drawings of Rasu anyway.
[redacted]: XD *looks*
[redacted]: I wish I could draw. :-)
That's ALL you have to say?! That's only slightly less insulting than "I could do it better." Right, completely dismissing the appearance too. Hey, all that matters is that he rapes Yuna later, right?
She quickly turns the discussion into how I should look at a pic of some guy from a Japanese band because it's what INSPIRED Yuna-- no wonder there's no depth to him!-- even though Yuna doesn't actually look like the person IN the picture.
That's right: immediately after shrugging off ACCURATE images of my character, she wants to show me INACCURATE ones of hers because he's THAT MUCH COOLER AND MORE INTERESTING. She can't find a better one.
[redacted]: Anyway, it doesn't really matter. ;-) Yuna's Asian, and a bit of a pretty boy.
[redacted]: I'm entitled to play a stereotype as an actual character. XD
:|
You're entitled to play a stereotype?! Sure you are, hon! Especially since we all know you hate them so much! And especially especially since I'm equally entitled to play a female, a straight male, a minor, or a fandom-based character!
Where I come from, we call that "chutzpah." IT IS GENERALLY NOT A COMPLIMENT.
Izumiz Angel: Rasu is going to tease him.
[redacted]: Oh good. ;-)
[redacted]: Yuna just might try to claw him, in that case. XD
Izumiz Angel: He's going to react to teasing about his femininity... with a stereotypically female attack? o_o
[redacted]: XD Yep! And if Rasu calls him on it, he'll go for a knee to the groin.
Izumiz Angel: Another "girls' attack"....
[redacted]: *snerks* Yuna is full of contradictions.
Actually, that’s you!
[redacted]: Is that going to be a problem? =-O
Izumiz Angel: Well, Rasu isn't likely to be sexually attracted to him XD But it's not a problem for a character ^^
[redacted]: XD Yuna's actually not that girly--his girly mannerisms are mostly an act, if that makes sense. It's complicated to explain, but it ties in with his past. Once he's comfy around Rasu, he'll act more natural.
Oho, and now that you hear Rasu won’t be sexually attracted to him like this you try to say it’s not how he actually is. I suppose I should be glad enough you've even REGISTERED my warning this time rather than continuing to just ASSUME since your character is male and mine is gay OF COURSE he'll have the hots for him-- THAT'S HOW ATTRACTION WORKS YOU KNOW. But come on, not that girly? How much more feminized could you possibly make him?! He looks like one, dresses like one, fights like one, you've even likened his tantrums to PMSing... but he's actually not that girly?! JON STEWART HAS A MESSAGE FOR YOU:
Part VIII-- if you dare.
