[tl;dr drop thing]
I think my work schedule is slowly killing my drive to RP. I love Camp and am not leaving, but I am definitely less active than I used to be. In lieu of that, have a sort of drop meme.
Ryuuken: There was a time when I said I would never let Ryuuken go and you would have to pry him out of my cold, dead hands. That's not nearly as true now. I love playing him, but if push came to shove, I could let him go. He goes through periods of being really fucking miserable and then zennnn. Luckily, right now he's back on the upswing.
I worry about his voice sometimes. I think I do a reasonable job with someone who only appears in three chapters and hasn't been seen for over two years. Others may disagree, but. [shrugs] I also worry about what will happen when (IF???) KT brings him back because I'm afraid of getting Jossed. I'll take that as it comes, though.
For now, Ryuuken is starting to get along with his son, finally, after three years and I feel very proud of that. It's still in the baby steps stage, but they're on their way up. I think his relationship with Rikuou also hit a good point and he feels much better in general now because of it.
Dropping is a possibility, but I don't feel compelled to do it. I just need to get Ryuuken out more and meeting new people.
Kanda: I love Kanda a lot. He's so angry and suck a dick and it's really fun to play him. When I do. Which is hardly ever. This is partially my fault and partially his because he is an anti-social bastard who hates everyone and everything. And right now, he really fucking wants to go home. He's been in camp over two years and the grip on his sanity slips more with each day.
I don't really worry about his voice too much. I DO worry about how long it's going to take Hoshino to come back from her most recent hiatus. The last time it was six months. It's already been a couple so far this time. Kanda still has no backstory even though she said she would get to it last year. The most recent chapters looked really promising, but. I think I've just become very disillusioned with D.Gray-Man in general.
Kanda's paid time runs out in February. I was giving serious consideration yesterday to just letting him go. I'll wait, though, and see how it goes. I may change my mind, I may not. Either way, I'll always love him.
Himawari: Himawari is so adorable and sweet and cute and I love her to pieces. She is so EASY for me to play and I can throw her anywhere. And she absolutely loves camp and never wants to leave. She's made a lot of friends and even though she still has serious issues, she's definitely in a much better place than she was before she came to camp.
Sometimes I worry that I play Himawari a little too emo. But, xxxHOLiC is NOT a happy series. It has it's cute moments and seeing Watanuki flail is hilarious, but it is always very dark underneath.
I feel kind of bad because she had a lot of great relationships that I let go because my activity dropped for a while. That and there are SO MANY people she talks to that it was hard for me to keep up with. Which is also my fault. I want to try and be more active with her, though, and she's not going anywhere anytime soon.
Touda: . . . Oh, Touda. I will never know what to do with you. He's actually pretty happy in camp. He's with Tsuzuki all the time and he doesn't have to deal with everyone giving him shit in Gensoukai. He's a very zen serpent.
His voice is not a problem for me at all. His activity is, though. I feel bad because there are times when a month has gone by and I've realized that I've forgotten to play him entirely. After which I make it a point to for the following month.
I've discussed dropping him several times with Tsuzuki because I feel bad for just holding onto him. But she always brings up the point that he's not very popular and there probably isn't anyone else going "omg I want to play him so bad." And there's nothing wrong with him being a backburner. That's what he is. I don't know if I'll drop him, but if Tsuzuki leaves, he's leaving too.
Yukito/Yue: Man, sometimes I forget I even play Yuki and that's bad. And then he'll have a really fucking adorable thread with Toya and I'll fall in love with him all over again. I love Yuki and Yue and I love CCS. And Yuki and Toya are together in camp and are cute and adorable. But Yue misses Sakura and Yuki knows that Toya does, too.
I worry that he sounds too much like Himawari at times because they are both very happy people who smile a lot. Yuki definitely has a lot less emo, though.
I think what would help is a canon review and trying to stop connecting CCS and Tsubasa. Because hearing that CCS!Sakura was possibly dead definitely put a damper on things. After a canon review, just getting him out more and making friends might help. I don't WANT to drop him. I've thought about it, though. And if Toya goes, he's definitely going.
Fuuma: Man, I love Fuuma. I love him SO MUCH. He is SO EASY and FUN to play and I can throw him anywhere and everywhere. He is just. Really fucking bored in camp. He can't do his job, he can't leave. It makes him very sad hunter in swamp. But he's building relationships which help with the boredom. I love the flirting thing he has going with Aeon and ONE DAY he will win Tatsumi over with his charm.
Fuuma's voice comes very easily to me. This is both worrying and not. He doesn't get a lot of canon, but I think I do well with what I have to work with. I DO worry that I make him too much of a flirt, but. It just fits with his personality for me. IDK.
You can pry Fuuma out of my cold, dead hands. I'M NEVER LETTING GO.
Abe: Sob, Abe. He wants to go home. He wants to be playing baseball in tournaments. He misses his team and his coach. He doesn't like that camp scares Mihashi so much. He wants Mihashi to stop being a crybaby.
I don't even know, man. Abe is hard to play. I was very nervous about his voice for a while. I'm not anymore, but it's hard to tell if the voice I have for him is the right one or not.
I love Oofuri. It's awesome and adorable and all the characters rock. But I think about dropping Abe a lot. He has no friends. No relationships outside of Mihashi. I LOVE THEIR RELATIONSHIP, DON'T GET ME WRONG. But. I don't know what to do with him. I really don't. Maybe canon review? Actually reading the scanlations might help instead of just skimming the Japanese tanks.
Hajun: Hajun is in such a weird place right now. He REALLY, really hates himself and at the same time is actually pretty happy. He misses teaching his classes and he misses his apartment, but Hali is here and even if that makes things very complicated and stressful, it also makes them okay. I. Should really essay on them some time. And make a post that charts their relationship. But for now, just read this thread. That sums things up pretty well.
I think I've got Hajun's voice down. I used to worry about Doing It Wrong with him, but not anymore. My only problem now is building more relationships with him. He has a few people that he likes to talk to, but it's just a matter of jumping them more or making Hajun more available. (Note to self: post more.)
Hajun's not going home any time soon unless Hali does. I just wish KKW would finish the damn series already.
Tezuka: I FUCKING LOVE PRINCE OF TENNIS. I LOVE TEZUKA. HE IS MINE. FOREVER. I WILL FIGHT TO THE DEATH FOR HIM. [coughs] I mean. No, really. I love the series. I love the character. And I am so happy to be playing Tezuka on the internt. And with Konomi starting up the new series in March, I am definitely never letting this boy go.
Tezuka is actually kind of zen in camp. Seigaku won the Nationals, so he doesn't have that weighing on his shoulders. He DOES miss his teammates, though. And being surrounded by rival players doesn't help this. But he perseveres!!! He spends a lot of time training and the tennis courts should be back in decent shape by now. He's good. I just need to get him out more. Maybe post with him again or something.
I don't worry about Tezuka's voice. It comes very easily to me. Which . . . maybe should make me worry? But I don't. I'm not too concerned about mixing fanon with canon because. Well. I don't even know what his fanon is because I never got into the PoT fandom at all. IDK. I would hope that if I'm doing something wrong, someone would let me know.
SEE FIRST PARAGRAPH ABOUT HOW I FUCKING LOVE PRINCE OF TENNIS. . . . Yeah. Tezuka isn't going anywhere. (Note to self: update the music post.)
