I am ALMOST ready to come back fullswing into this game give me a week!! But I'm like officially back, just not mentally.
And mostly I've noticed we haven't been doing so well coming back from our holiday slump (maybe it's too early to tell) but I think a lot of us could stand a little help getting more motivated! I can't speak for everyone, but I usually feel more excited about playing after a meta session or making a playlist to tag with or setting some IC goals or doing some drabbles... Even just reading through old memes like the headcanon ones and looking at what other people wrote. So...!!
Motivational OOC Workshop
thornanigans YES this is my answer to everything. It would just be like an open post of activities you can browse through and see if any of them look interesting, or just talk about stuff idk this a pretty amorphous idea. I was telling Gee it's kind of like... when someone breaks up with you, maybe you're one of those people who always put on your favorite films and eat ice cream for a week. And you're naturally not a shopper, but maybe on the second day of your week your friend is like hey come shopping with me and you go reluctantly. So then you get lots of fresh air and walk off some of that ice cream and buy a new hat and you spent like 2 days feeling like shit but some passerby is like HEY YOU HAVE A NICE SMILE. But if it wasn't for the suggestion, you would have just stayed home and re-watched The Princess Bride every day for another 5 days. On the flipside, maybe you usually just spend a lot of time going on a shopping spree and you forgot how much you like The Princess Bride and Cherry Garcia (which is delicious, I recommend it).
I hope that made sense to anyone.
ANYWAY so if anyone would like to do an OOC workshop, what activities would you like to see? This is a brainstorming post, so hopefully I can organize all the things and make related posts.
Depending on what people want, this workshop could be anything from a couple IC memes to like a post giving prompts, a series of headcanon questions, etc. Just basically what you like doing, and maybe some new things to find you like to do!
