No, it is NOT a double-standard of me to get frustrated when people use "spheres" or "optics" or "orbs" or "spheroids" or even freaking "optical orbs" to describe eyes on a human character, and use said words to describe parts of android characters. Why? Because, I play two robotic characters, you know what they don't have? Eyes. The first one is ( Read more... )

doesn't mean what you think it means, drama llama, buy a clue, dumbass, purple prose

I'd use 'orb' to describe a visualization device only if it's an actual external spherical-shaped device that's basicly a fancy camera, or if it's an acronym. (Optical Reconnaisance Ball)

This so much. It's one of my pet peeves. Every time someone substitutes 'orb' for 'eye' in their human character all I can see is milky white crystal balls that somehow managed to get lodged in someone's eye sockets.

Oh wow. If the second character is who I'm thinking it is....

WHY do people have such a problem with her? Awesome character, amazing that you can play her, and people are just annoying as sin. >>' You're not being purple at ALL, trust me.

You're like... the anti-purple who isn't beige. Informitive, but not overly descriptive that I want to bash my head into a wall~

But seriously. "Orbs"... I'll have to look out for that one. Don't think I've used it, but goodness knows I don't pay too much attention to exactly what words I use when I RP. Unless I'm RPing my blind Concoctionist. THEN I have to make sure to avoid things like "looked" and all that jazz.

Because they're jealous. I really...don't know, I'd like to think I do a decent job, I really would. People suck. Memo to self: new test subjects acquired, do not inform them of this.
Actually, I figured out why this birgade of crazy is coming flying at me. These are all scourned muns who knew me from another RP, Iused to be ok with OOCly, but as a mod, I was a fairly harsh judge. I think they're trying to get back at me for their butthurt, and I'm wondering if the one isn't someone I refused to play said pup against, idk though.

LOL ANTI PURPLE THAT ISN'T BEIGE! brb making sweaters for that XD

Ah yes, obs XD and haha, yeah, well he could look LIKE something, he can't look AT it though eh? X3 Oh got, my Anti-Sue is gonna be hard, I just realized, she'll have NO depthperception D:
