And finally, I would like to tackle the boyfriend issue. I read the thread where Daisya tormented her with images of dying alone. She has already died alone. She has died so alone her soul was destroyed. And yet now she's on a mad manhunt to make someone love her. This has calmed down somewhat recently, and I respect that, but she still acts like a wangsty crybaby over it. Chomosuke doesn't need to have a boyfriend, and she acts like it's the end of the world and nobody will ever love her. It's incredibly disrespectful to her friends, whom she acts like aren't good enough, and nobody is ever going to develop feelings for someone who comes on that strong. She is not this whiny in canon and it feels very badly thought out. I don't understand why having a boyfriend matters so much to her, especially when she says they wouldn't have to do anything special, just spend time with her. Even if she does get a boyfriend, he is not going to want to spend all his time with her every day. She needs more realistic expectations. She's too clingy and it is very unattractive and OOC.
All in all I think you play Chomosuke too naively and don't put enough consideration into playing her, or with others. I would suggest canon reviewing the manga and trying to be more aware of other muns feelings. Just because you would be fine with something happening doesn't mean everyone else would. I hope you think about what I said and try to use it to improve, thank you for your time.

The selfish thing I've tried to work on since the beginning of time. Its one of my own terrible traits that always seeps into my muses. It sucks ass when you can't play roles properly. And she's not that weak, or whiny. She's had plenty of strong threads. She's been around for over a year. There are lots out there. I'm still trying to work on everything. I know I can give no excuse to why its going so slow, but I am trying my best to change her. I have for awhile.
I can't remember her actually going on the attack for no reason... The ones I can think of are more playful teasing, but I don't think she's really... gone on the attack...
Assumptions is one I'm working on too. I also have a bad memory which can easily be seen so sometimes one of my muses learns something and then I forget who really knows that information and obviously stuff like this happens, but I'm pretty sure she knew that Lavi was raped. Her reaction to the question was too strong to go unnoticed... And with the CV group? I've avoided them 100% after all that crap. Its in the past. She'll only see the Cross occasionally. Assuming stuff has always been bad with me. Its either I didn't understand completely what happened or no one tells me clearly. The Robin thing I also didn't realize for awhile, but thats stopped. She hasn't talked about Robin or seen her for awhile.
Cross thingy. She doesn't really have a point system. She's loyal to them all except for the Noah versions. Being modified she avoids that whole area as much as possible. The only Noah she'll really come in contact with is that one 14th and Devit.
The boyfriend thing I've explained so many times its not even funny anymore. She's stopped looking, period. And the only reason she even wants one is so she has a close close friend. She's made the mistake of calling it that thinking that any boy who accepts her and cares a lot about her is such person. Besides, she's lost a lot of friends now because of how she's acted in this past and does want to cling to the ones she has.
... If I didn't explain enough then... Sorry. I suck ass at explaining things and it would be a lot easier if you just contacted me for real instead of hiding. I have my msn/aim up there for a reason. Its much easier and less complicated than this.

You don’t need to give an excuse, nobody improves overnight. That you’re trying is good, and I have noticed her toning it down a bit. As I said, you’ve improved since you first started. Again I would suggest rereading the chapters. Everybody wants a thread to be about them once in a while, it’s fun when you get attention. But with Chomosuke it seems almost constant, instead of her saying ‘this is so similar to what I went through’ and then talking about something that really doesn’t relate, try keeping the focus on them for a bit? Others need time to work through their issues too. I can understand if you’re trying to make it so she can relate, but I think you need to re-evaluate your approach.
I remember when akuma Rabi was trying to cheer her up, and she slapped him for no reason. I remember her attacking Kuzu when he was a cat and teasing him for being scared that this girl who was bigger than him and could hurt him was angry and shaking him and saying she wouldn’t forgive him for something he couldn’t remember doing. (I may be remembering the wording wrong, it’s been a while since I read that thread). That’s the sort of thing I meant, it comes off as aggressive and Chomosuke taking her anger out on them. This isn’t something she does in canon.
Rape is a large conclusion to jump to, it’s unrealistic. And then again, she told others about Lavi’s trauma without the muns permission. If nobody tells you clearly, then ask. People will be more than happy to explain, it only takes a quick OOC note or a PM. Nobody is going to bite your head off for just asking, and it will be much less hassle for them than making inaccurate assumptions.
I remembered reading something about her playing favourites, that may be me remembering it wrong, in which case I apologise. But I do feel she plays them off against each other a bit, she was loyal to “gunlessgeneral”/ until “modified came along, and then she decided she liked him better I think? After only a few threads, her loyalty had gone from someone she considered the Cross from her world to this one who spent more time with her. It read as though her attachments and loyalty were worth nothing and she’ll go with anyone who is nice to her. Chomosuke is stronger than this, and fiercely loyal, I can see her acting that way. Again, I may be remembering wrong and you could be completely right, so don’t quote me on it. Staying away from Noahs is understandable, they’re Noahs.
I’m not saying give up completely, just come on less strong. When I read about her desire for a boyfriend because she wanted a close friend, it seemed to me like she was saying her other friends weren’t good enough and it seemed disrespectful to them. She didn’t value them because they wouldn’t kiss her? It was wall banger-y to me.
You explained just fine, and honestly I prefer ‘hiding’, I know anonymous comments aren’t valued as much but I feel more secure like this. In my opinion, this is the easier method. I would strongly suggest enabling anonymous commenting if you wanted more feedback on Chomosuke, some people are just more comfortable, and it means they can’t be judged. This is your journal however, and if you don’t want to then it’s up to you. I don’t mean to attack you, and it seems like you’re really trying hard to improve. It’s a slow process but you seem to be doing well so far, you’ve realised your faults and you’re taking steps to tackle them. Most people don’t ever admit they’re wrong, so don’t be upset, you’re already better than 90% of the players who need to improve because you can admit to it.

I was thinking of rewatching the whole series soon anyways. I've got the time.
Chome and Rabi have an odd relationship. And yes, that was a while ago. She was upset and things got out of control. Its been dealt with already. Anything with that Allen has already been dealt with. She does a good job at avoiding all my muses with all of hers. I think things are over with even though I'm upset with that out come.
She has a crush on modifiedmagic because he's younger and doesn't look like Cross, but she's still loyal to both of them and she adores both of them. She can say things, but the deep down loyalty doesn't change. It isn't like she's saying that because this one did this and this that he's going to get more respect and service out of her than any of the others. Yeah, if she gets attention up from then its all going to be on him for the moment, but she'll never say no to a Cross that needs her. What about the females? She's still loyal to them even though its a bit awkward and new. Same with the General Maria. She knows she meant a lot to him and respects her as much as she does him.
Its just the coming and going. People she thought were there for her weren't and so on. She's been betrayed and keeps her guard up. Lately she hasn't had many reliable friends she can really trust and count on who are around. I don't know where this kissing came from. She would enjoy a lot more than that. A simple conversation could beat kissing.
Uh... I kinda don't know how |D;
I knew when I made this entry that I'd get stuff like this because even though I've been rping for over a year I'm still terrible at it. I'm a slow learner when it comes to some things so I may not... uh? Be as good as others and come off totally... terrible. I can't think of a worse word. I like it better knowing who's addressing me so I can address them better. I don't want to feel like I have to be extra careful with a stranger and seem like I'm sucking up to them because I'm afraid of who's behind the mask. Yeah, I suck. I know. I've got buttloads of things to work on, but I also live in a stressful life style which sadly can seep it too because I'm an emotional person, but rp keeps me sane and happy. I do my best and its not always my fault too. Whatever problems happen I do want to fix them, but sometimes I need help with certain things and ugh, I'm just rambling with crap.

Do you play from the anime or the manga? Most characters get skewed in the anime, so it might be adaption decay that's proving a problem too. Most people are more familiar with the manga, if you take it from the anime then it's important to explain the differences for those who don't know. But I would watch carefully, everything is not always clear. Like the Mimi fillers, you said Mimi was happy being an akuma because of what the Earl said, right? But I always took that scene as him being a dick and rubbing it in that her soul is suffering forever, 'aren't you happy maid now that your princess is dead and you're enslaved to us?' The Earl is a villain, and he lies. I wouldn't trust everything he says. The soul would still be being corrupted by dark matter and that hurts like a bitch.
Do you mean normal_really? That's not Kuzu. From my experience, that mun is really nice and friendly, if you're unhappy with what happened try talking to her about it. I have her aim if you'd like, I'm sure she's not upset. She's really bad at holding grudges. But you have tagged with her recently? Allen's wedding and collegiate Lavi's post spring to mind.
The Cross thing seems more like my misunderstanding the more you explain it, sorry. I get that everything she says shouldn't be taken for surface value.
Kissing was just an example of typical boyfriend girlfriend behavior, I wasn't saying all she's looking for is a make out session. Because of your reputation you can put a lot of people off so it's hard to maintain CR. The more you improve, the stronger CR she'll have with more people. Again it takes time, be patient and Chomosuke will make more friends.
Aha, I can barely figure out lj either. It's in account somewhere, I think? Or journal options, I can't remember. Try googling it.
I don't think you're sucking up to me. You're explaining yourself well and I can see you're really trying, don't worry. I don't think you have to worry about rambling, we're both doing it, it's a long winded back and forth! If you need help it's okay to ask for it, people would prefer that I think. It shows you're working on getting better and not just floundering around in the dark. I'll certainly be happy to help you with anything you have a problem with, even if it is just through sock puppeting.

I do anime because she appears more in the anime than in the manga and more happens. The deal with Mimi is over all totally out there. It says they're happy, but there's no way it could be true. Even I know that.
I have her aim. That's the thing. Ever since the upset I'm sure she's blocked me or something because she is never online. Hell, we used to be good friends, but that thing was a misunderstanding and its all done with. Yeah, Chome still has feelings for Allen, but she doesn't hate Lenalee, she's not jealous about it and respects and is happy for their relationship. IT. IS. OVER. I tagged the wedding and Lavi's post. Lavi's with Sachiko only because they had a slight fight and haven't talked for ages. But there was another post where I tagged... Uh? I think it was normal really with another muse and they got blown off. I saw her tagged all the others more often than mine. So I feel like my muses are being avoided just because they're played by me. I know Chome has an awesome friendship with The Doctor. And I don't wanna kill that one. She still wants to drive tea with him. She's been practicing <3
Thats okay. Cross is Cross. She will be loyal to the death, but yes, she does seem to like others more than some only because she may only see one once and one a thousands of times and so she gains a better relatioionship with that one, but the one she saw once isn't going to be forgotten. If he suddenly appears, she's still going to take a bullet for him.
She enjoys attention, period. THAT is in her canon. She likes attention and is interested in cute things. Thus the love of little animals and children from time to time. But yeah. Once the stuff is fixed things will be better.
Normally I ask my friend for all my lj help. She's been on for way longer than me. Or I just leave it and deal with it as it comes. I just don't like it when people hide. I dropped another muse because of anon attacks. I like to know who is who so I know where said attack is coming from. It might be a misunderstanding or something real. Everyone has their own opinions of people... And I'm still trying to make friends <3 I enjoy knowing as many people hiding the scenes as I can to ask right away to do something or plot and jazz. Since I'm self conscious about everything I hate talking out in the open and wondering who is reading what and what they're saying about it.

Fair enough. Just be aware that manga!Chomosuke and anime!Chomosuke are different, and most will expect manga.
To be fair, she has exams at the moment and has said she's going to be incredibly slow. I think she's only playing in the new baby DR for the moment, you could try catching her there if you don't mind OCs. I'll talk to her about aim, I'm sure she won't mind. And she dropped the Doc for a while, but I think she's bringing him back in once exams are over.
I can't remember that in canon. But it's not exactly a stretch with her, I suppose. She may like attention, but she doesn't force it on herself all the time. I like attention, but I still let the focus be on other people. She's quite selfless, just because she likes it doesn't mean she'll demand it all the time.
If anons are flaming you, that's just bitching you should delete. Valid, well thought out comments are the ones you listen to. I really hope this hasn't come across as an attack because I would love to see you improve rather than drop. I'm not perfect either, if it seems like I'm attacking you then tell me, this is meant to be constructive. Who did you drop? You shouldn't stop playing because others don't like it, you should try to improve. If someone is forcing you to drop then THEY'RE doing it wrong, that is not constructive criticism. That is bullying.

Tada~ When I get info I'll use it to the best of my ability.
I understand people being busy. My best friend is always busy, but I don't understand blocking all contact.
No no. You didn't post and run. You replied. You offered to help find a solution. You're not and evil anon flamer even though I don't know who you are. No one says they want me to drop, but I give up easily when things get too hard or too painful. When so many people hate and dislike you, you can't help but wonder what everyone is thinking...

Sometimes if you annoy a person too much, they need a break. I imagine the drama got too much for her and she needed to get away. She says she'll re-add you, and if you want to talk she's free.
Oh, thank you. I put a lot of thought into this concrit and really tried to make it helpful, thank goodness I didn't scare you off with my huge wall of text. Hate is a pretty strong word, people might dislike you or be annoyed, but actual loathing would be ridiculous. As long as you have fun, don't give in. If it gets painful then taking a step back might be good, but don't give up something you love where you can play with people you like. Nobody ever knows what everyone is thinking, you can't tell it in real life and you can't tell it here even if they're not hiding. I really don't feel comfortable de-anoning myself, sorry.

Thing with witty was just a misunderstanding as always. <3
Well, um... Okay... If you insist. Its not that I'd have anything against you, but I still feel the need to keep up appearances so to speak since i don't know who I'm speaking to...
