Hime's Amazing Sexy Spectacular App Story!

[holyfight]

SO. THERE I WAS.

One Year Ago

Me: Wow, Bleach is awesome. Screw what fandom says, Orihime's especially crazy awesome! But I just got Hakufu and I'm content with her, so I will suppress the urge to app her because they are similar. Oooh, Nanao is shiny! MUST APP HER!

Three Months Ago

Me: I kind of want to app Orihime somewhere. Tell me I

First of all, I neglected to mention it in this post because there really was no good way to bring it up. I typed and re-typed something about it and went "No, this would sound like I was trying to embarrass her and I don't want to do that". It is something I feel bad about, but don't really know how to address it.

I also must correct your timeline there - you apped her April 9th. There was a brief comment to Keigo along the lines of "Geez, I'm writing so much to her about this app that maybe I should app her myself", and then we waited the three days for you to put in a reapp and when you didn't get back to us, I shrugged and put the idea on the shelf. That's also part of the reason I originally was only going to app her at CFUD, among other things (like her fitting into a crack game better and there originally being more Karakura folks there). And even then, I didn't decide to app her there until April 19th. And really, the only reason I decided to app her in Micro AT ALL was because Tibarn volunteered to app Tatsuki if I did.

Also, please understand that I'm not the only mod that checks applications. All three of us have to agree to decline an app (or if we want to ask for a revision) and all three of us know Bleach. There wasn't a moment when the three of us were like "Oh man, you should app this character instead of this girl, let's decline her". On the contrary, Matsu even told me not to app her at one point. When the app went up, me and Keigo read it at the same time, had a brief moment of "OMG ORIHIME!" and then a "...uhh." reaction.

Again, I'm really sorry if I hurt your feelings with this, but it's probably a situation with no clean and easy answers. And if it helps, I wasn't going to bring her into bleach_dressing, either, since I'm already playing her in two places.

Don't worry, my feelings aren't hurt. Rejecting someone's app because they wanted to bring someone in from a timeline that YOU didn't approve of, is just as bad of a reason as wanting the character to remain open for your own use. In fact I'd say there's a direct correlation there.

Bottom line is, you're the mod and you can do whatever you like, right?

It is something I feel bad about, but don't really know how to address it. Maybe that's your conscience trying to tell you something.
