I'm playing Yellow from a month or so after the events of Emerald Arc (she'll be updated with HGSS if she plays a part). I've been playing her for what feels like a very long time now, but I'd still love to hear any suggestions one might have to improve her. so if you have suggestions for how she sounds and acts, please tell me here!

Now, I know we don't see any huge altercation between people Yellow considers to be her friends in canon so you don't really have precedence for this, but Yellow hates conflict and prefers it when people live in harmony with each other. To me, it would've made a lot more sense for her to offer to mediate between Silver+Gold and Paul, because I think she'd see it as less hurt feelings all around and an opportunity to get both sides to understand each other. It’s pretty obvious that Gold just doesn’t understand Paul’s intentions, and he kind of… thinks with his fists in the first place. He’s an idiot shounen hero, after all. If she'd done that and Gold still refused to come to an understanding with Paul (or even just refused to make the effort to talk to him to try and resolve things), the reaction she had would have been a lot more plausible… except for the part where all her rage is directed at Gold when Silver made a conscious choice to beat the shit out of Paul as well. She should also be disappointed with him, and the fact that she's shoving all the blame onto Gold just confuses me.

TL;DR if drama like this happens between people who Yellow considers friends again, she’s more likely to try and mediate and less likely to flip her shit on someone she cares about. I do think she would be likely to think that the way Gold was handling dealing with Paul was wrong, but I don’t think she would actively call him a monster for it-she would try to get them to understand each other through peaceful means. She should be extremely disappointed with everyone in this situation, and it doesn't come off like she is-it just seems like she's angry at Gold and Gold alone, when Paul, Gold, and Silver all share part of the responsibility for the situation and Paul's starting to go down the path of crazy. If it had been clear (or even implied) that she thought more than one of the three was being an idiot, I think it would have come off as being a lot more believable for Yellow.

I agree, anon. This was probably one of my worst threads ever, and not something I would have passed in a legit RP. What I really should have done was tell Kyo not to threadjack and to just keep Yellow in the dark, so that I could keep out of the Paul-related drama altogether, since I've already been in a down mood for a few weeks and just didn't want to deal with it.

I realized what I should have done only when the thread was partway through. Once that realization hit, I was frustrated and ended the thread as soon as I could to get back out of it.

It was a bad play on my part. But next time I start getting roped into drama when I don't want it, I'll say no, so that I don't have to force myself to play along when I'm not feeling well enough to handle it appropriately and ICly.

Thanks for realizing how crappy I did that. I really shouldn't have, and just asked Kyo to do it elsewhere. That was my poor judgment.

I promise better quality from Yellow in the future, anon.

Oh hey the HMD reminded me to check this and tell you that I feel you did a pretty good job of damage control on that! I sort of liked the implication that Gold's kind of rubbing off on Yellow and encouraging her to be a little more impulsive for... good or ill. I know it's a little late but I think it'd be kind of interesting to follow up on that a bit-it could be a fun character development thing.

Anyway, don't have anything else to say! Aside from that little blip (which you did a pretty darn good job of recovering from), you've been doing a great job with her. I will continue stalking her eternally : )

Oh hello again stalkeranon!

I am so glad to hear back from you, and I'm glad to hear that you're happy with where she's gone from there! Your crit really was what made me stop being too frustrated to deal with drama and handle the situation the way she would have naturally, so I'm glad you saw that through.

Actually, that's a clever idea! Maybe her next post can illustrate that. ;)

Thanks for watching me from the anonymous shadows and reaching out to keep me in line! Feel free to crit me any time!
