ooc dramas + I am my wolf
Opinions are like assholes, everybody has them. -- unknown (or, at least, I don't know)
-- OOC dramas --
I'm seriously starting to get irritated with all the OOC drama in wolf rp. I thank God we don't have that sort of drama in DR. <3
Yesterday, at work, I was thinking about it actually -- Hey, it's better than a Soap Opera! -- and I realized the only other time that I ever had drama OOCly with people was way back in the day on Undernet when I role played with Drack and Jeruth. We were all in high school (I think, but Jeruth could have been younger) and we role played together every day. Good solid hours of plots and drama. It was awesome! Occasionally someone new would rp with us, and quite often DrkRose would as well. -- The problem was that we had a LOT of OOC issues. Who didn't like what was happening in the plot, etc. In fact, if I remember correctly, some of the time it was depressing. We were so involved with each other. I'm sad to say that I rarely speak to either of them now. ;.; I pretty much never see Jeruth and I only see Drack once in a great while. He's got two kids of his own <3 I thought that was really cool...
This leads me to my next point -- the AGE of the players in wolf rp. There is a drastic age difference -- to the extent that some packs make it a policy to be Family Friendly -- no swearing, no sexual stuff, basically rated PG-13 (or G, whichever). A lot of the players are still in high school -- in fact, wolf rp has to have the youngest players really. When I first started rping in 1997 on mIRC I was 14 years old. So I was the youngest then, but I wasn't in wolf RP. I was in #shamus&shaman on Undernet, which was WoD based. I rped with a lot of older people.
The only reason I really mention the age thing is because a lot of people complain about "high school drama" when most of the people are IN high school. Just thought I'd make a point. =x To be honest though, I recently found out one wolf rper is 15 and I could have sworn she was 18 or 20, she acts that maturely. (Referring to DarkAzure of EmeraldMyst <3) So it IS NOT just an age thing.
I'm wondering how on earth Silverlune keeps drama OUT of DR. It's one of the main reasons I joined DawnRunners and she does an amazing job. <3 <3 <3 I would be content to be half the wolf she is.
-- I am my wolf --
Another thing I was thinking about last night is how I'm starting to have more of a "pack mentality." My pack is my family, and family is my strength. Even though we all aren't on at the same times, I feel that we all have bonded strongly. The one wolf I thought that would be difficult to bond with is Skah, though I luff her hooman -- Skah's wolf is a bit, well, I don't know how to explain it. But he moved to protect Alora when she went to help Moonwolf- (whom I won't even complain about! that crazy woof!) and made me feel so <3 <3 <3 because at first, Skah was "standoffish" I guess. He's older and you have to earn his respect. Whereas Alora is Silverlune's daughter, so the bonding was much faster. <3
Another thing is being a Caretaker. It was a random roll of the dice to pick that, but I feel that it IS me. Especially considering I am Reiki. Healing is what I do. Playing with little ones, helping the elders. It's too bad we don't have any pups yet =x
Blah, I got stuff to do.
