Guy Cecil | Tales of the Abyss | relinquishing

Anon HMD in his journal, if you'd prefer that.

Pros:

• BACK IN THE GAME. Yes this is a super pro.


• Two straight playthroughs of the game in the month I was gone = best decision ever. His voice is almost always strong and his intentions are a lot clearer, and I have consistent ways to give him boosts now when I'm struggling.


• I don't think I'll ever run out of material for this man. I still don't feel I'm using him to his full potential, but even then I have a list of things I'd still love to do with him in his time in Vatheon, and that makes me very happy.


• Dear god, my CR list.

Cons:

• Guy bottles up a lot - most of his emotions are internal, not necessarily external, and he can be extremely blunt in order to avoid any slip-ups in his composure. I feel like I don't remember this enough, or I project my own line of thinking onto him a little too often (being an incredibly emotional mun) rather than figuring out how he processes things differently.


• Being super selective with my tags YES I AM ADMITTING IT. I need to get out of that habit, otherwise some of my CR isn't going to go anywhere. (I'd like to be called out on this more, honestly.)


• ...ahaha my tagging speed, yeah. I tend to do newer tags first rather than older ones, since getting on a roll is the best way to get me through threads. Problem is, though, that when I have 25 threads going at once, I'll finish up 3 or 4 and leave the rest at the bottom of the inbox for multiple days. So organization/concentration tips in regards to that would be nice. I never truly drop threads without notifying the mun, but with the delays I have, I guess it can appear I'm dropping things all the time.


• ...Dear god, my CR list. /)_(\

I'm so glad you're back ;.;

Unless it's with a mun who's not around very much and the thread won't get finished (ie: someone who doesn't tag for a couple days at a time), I nearly always go from the bottom of my inbox (oldest) to the top, skipping memes for later. The exception to this is three or more person threads, which take priority simply because they move slower and can tie up your rping for weeks if they're important for development, so you don't want to be the one slowing them down if you can help it.

And don't be afraid to talk to muns. If you're doing a friendly nonsense thread with someone and there's a bunch of other plot threads that need your attention, ask them to plot out the end with with you and move on. A lot of the time I find that if a thread is waning, the other mun can tell too and you just need that mutual conversation of "are we done? okay cool."

Lastly, if there's a thread you just really don't want to tag anymore for whatever reason, don't feel badly about dropping it after notifying the mun. Rp is, first and foremost, supposed to be fun so if you're not having fun on some level, I kinda feel like that's 'doing it wrong.'

Hope that's helpful o/
