I don't think I have ever seriously considered dropping Filif. There might have been one time last spring, when I was down and feeling that he was boring and unfunny and I'd played out the tree schtick for too long... but that was a fleeting thought. Even when he was becoming a backburner-ish character I was cool with it.
Most likely, I am never going to drop Filif. >D Not only does he have an awesomesauce cast (no seriously that perked me right off my drop-pondering downspiral. I HAVE CASTMATES LIKE FUCK I'M DROPPING), but he's seriously become my baby. My tree. MINE. And since I'm like 99% certain he's not a character people are clamoring to play, I'm not fussed when he lapses in activity once in a while. Long story short, I drop him when I leave CFUD.

... and then we come to him. He's almost gotten the axe at least six times. I thought his CFUD career was doomed from the start. The app was a throwaway, and I was kind of completely unprepared to actually play him. And when I started playing, I actually made myself physically ill with nerves (until I realized why I couldn't eat, went "Oh my God this is so dumb" and that cleared up). I was prepared to drop him before the month was over... and then I started relaxing and enjoying the threads. Kind of. I was still really antsy and kept thinking "Okay, I am dropping if I don't get canonmates" but then that stopped being a problem and instead I started worrying that he wasn't fighting enough. THERE IS NEVER ANYTHING I DON'T FREAK OUT ON ABOUT HIM. If I listed all the details of my extensive paranoia about him, this would turn into a giant psychological essay about me. I SHOULD JUST RELAX. A LOT. But last spring I was honestly composing a CFO drop post in my head and almost wrote it down on the Internet... oh hey, both potential drops were last spring. In conclusion, last spring was a bitch IRL. :(
I could drop him right now and feel a little sad, but ultimately a lot less panicked. But I'm not, and I won't, yet. I'm just a goddamn stubborn bitch and I think, "I can work my way through this!" Because when I get it right, I really enjoy playing him. And despite my overactive paranoia, no one has ever said anything to me. No crit, no nasty fandomsecrets, nothing. SO MAYBE THIS IS ALL IN MY HEAD. He'd be the first to drop if I had to, but I'm not ready to let him go yet.
