Facepalming Faerie is quite possibly the most epic win EVER.

Hey, I ordered those too! 8D

...Wait, you have to put them together? D| Oh, damn. Do you need glue with it, too...?

On the concrit subject, I'd probably be mostly wrong if I said anything because lol, haven't checked the comm in a long time and therefore what I say will not be completely up-to-date. But I will be stalking this post because I'm working on my Juudai too, so... one of those "character advice" things would be helpful. 8U

Luckily they're figures that just clip together and they're fairly simple to put together. I'm having trouble trying to get BRD's vines in her back though XD I can get two in on one side and the other two don't want to go in at all ( ... )

I don't like RP!S much either, to be honest. It's a pile of drama all over, and the way the mods beg for secrets just screams that they actively encourage people being wanked all over regularly. Even the positive secrets tend to garner negative attention, and some people feel bad because "no one makes positive secrets about me". I'm of the opinion it should just not exist, myself. Anon memes... well, good and bad can come out of anon memes, I think, but it's worth taking everything in them with a grain of salt, at least. Don't brush it off, but don't take it super personally, either, even if it's mean or disrespectful ( ... )

Ah, I just got the feeling they were sorta disappointed that he wasn't exactly like canon Juudai, which they seem pretty passionate about. I do think they've brought up some good points at least, some I even agreed with and have been working on before I even saw this whole thread (And even opened up for suggestions in those areas, should they see the post ( ... )

I honestly thank the anon for being so polite and so... well, not necessarily formal, but professional with how he was talking about the complaints they had. They phrased their stuff very well, called out stuff that the comm's only recently solved, and while I disagreed with them on a lot of their points (Such as your Juudai and Ark's Fujiwara), it seems like they were more "Anon who likes GX and wants to see it get a good treatment" than anything else. You did mention something I didn't - when it comes to a lot of important stuff, they only get half the story at best, but they still show a lot of good comprehending of a lot of the stuff, which is why I had such a nice time talking to them in the first place.

Also, facepalming AFD is best ever.

Oh yeah, I do agree with that at least :) I'm glad they were at least polite and just expressing their own concerns over it and weren't rude. I just thought it was best to explain my side and views and expand on the things you had mentioned.
I'd also wanted to write that up for a long while now and at least wanted to share it here in case anyone else had a similar problem.
No one has to like how I portray him. I just wanted to explain the points of why he's different.

I'm pretty sure that, given the whole story, they'd like your interpretation regardless. It's like I told them: Your Juudai might be different from Season 4 canon Juudai, but at the same time, he's still unmistakably Juudai.

But yeah, I don't think anyone would really have a similar problem, as pretty much everyone in the community easily loves your Juudai and how he's portrayed, and just the whole AU aspect of him. But hey, if it let you write up stuff you wanted to write up for a while now, I don't have a problem!

But hey, showing that we're willing to talk about this stuff makes things a lot better for us regardless!

Well, it soundned like my Juudai may of been talking about in the fandom, since they seemed to hear a few things pretty much in conversation with others (Like how I wasn't open to crit), but in the end, it's more important to me that the current players at R2 like him :) I trust if I ever strayed too far, you guys would say something.
But I feel I know the limitations of what is definintly not acceptable and what I can stretch to.

The anon did at least bring up a few points I had noticed were missing/needed improvement and have started working on that for the last month or two as I reconized them myself. Just need to make them seem a bit more noticable I think (The whole connecting people with their spirits thing and also Yubel, who I think just needs more character interactions.)
