  1. Former delivery girl can't get over dead boyfriend.
  2. ME: I'd probably cheer and get all happy for Verah. Verah: *wipes kiss off her cheek and glares at the offender* ME: Verah, why!?
  3. Then I guess it's just a matter of finding one of the former that I like.
  4. And I'm completely okay with that. I've kind of come to find that pushing my character into an RP FC takes away elements of the game I love, and thats running content with potential friends. So as much as I love RP, I'm willing to do it through networking instead of through an RP-oriented FC. I wasn't really looking for a PvE oriented FC on RPC. I checked to see if there were any that balanced the two shortly after getting on Balmung, but after I pretty much figured out on my own that it was one or the other, I started figuring out what were important elements I wanted in an FC that would make me feel happy about being there. I mean, I don't even care if it's "serious" raiding or not. I just want to have fun doing content with people. That's all.
  5. No, I wasn't just looking on RPC. I know better than that. It was a place I looked, but it wasn't the only place I looked. I'm okay with an FC that doesn't have an RP plot. I feel like if I try to jam my character into an FC's RP plot wedge it could end up like those wooden shape puzzles for babies. I guess I'll just have to see if I can find a progression-focused FC that I like.
  6. I'm pretty sure I said I wasn't looking for serious hardcore raiding. Just people who have fun with it like in the video and do progressive content. I don't think hoping for an FC that does progressive content... you know, actually playing the game... is as ludicrous as you seem to make it out to be. Some people are on the RP server to have a large RP community to RP with on the side while they do game content. I mean, maybe that's not what you do but I think it's a little disingenuous to think that everyone on Balmung is just all about RP all day err'day.
  7. Hey guys, So... over the course of the last few days I've been peeking my head in at different FCs. But no FC that I've really looked at has what I'm looking for. Like a voice client that a majority of members actually use. I've noticed quite a few who don't have a voice client much at all don't raid. And raiding is something I really want to do. Progression content like dungeons, raids, boss fights, etc. Nothing hard core, but I'd like to have fun running that content like these people do: _H0LiC8pKp0 Lastly, and this isn't a big thing, is if the FC had some emphasis on RP. Like, even if that's just a linkshell for the members that like to RP. But it wouldn't have been that big of a deal, since I have no problem just networking. I checked out 12 different FCs and none of them met even the top two standards. So my roomie and I made our own FC and it took us 30 minutes to get the signatures we needed to form it. And now we're trying to get it up and running properly. :dodgy: I mean, was I just not looking hard enough? Was I overthinking it? I just don't know and the frustration is killing me. :cry:
  8. Sure thing, it'd be nice to find a group that my character can mesh with. It's been a little difficult, since there have been people to mistake me IC for OOC... and others who just don't want to deal with a character that would require some effort on their character's part to get to know. Sometimes players can be a little cautious or extra sensitive if they've had things go poorly for them in the past, and so they might be put off by something that seems totally random from the other direction. Just human nature, I suppose - someone who's gotten their hand burned a lot gets timid around fire. Anyway! My FC has a Discord server that we use for out-of-game text chatting that you're welcome to join if you like - the details are on our page here on the FC, linked in my sig - and we have a tavern night coming up tomorrow night, too (event details), but, those aside, we're often around just for general RP, too. I'll likely be loitering around our venue, Serene Haven Inn, tonight after around 5pm Pacific (UTC-7) or so. Oh, and our OOC linkshell is also open for friends outside the FC, too. :3 I'll definitely look into it. I joined the Discord server, but no clue how to operate the push to talk feature. I can't guarantee Verah will be at the RP event, I usually only attend those that I could imagine Verah attending (which isn't many due to her personality... unfortunate, but this is what I committed to). I'll look into the LS for sure.
  9. It makes me happy that people are getting such use out of this. If it helps people concoct things they may have otherwise not thought of regarding their characters, then I'm happy. :chocobo::chocobo::chocobo: On to the next! :chocobo::chocobo::chocobo:
  10. I'm interested in this guild, is it possible to get to know the people before joining? I want to be sure I blend well with everyone before wasting anyone's time.
  11. So I WAS listening to this: cjPTBLIfPlg But I just found this gem: 2NOdkMRniig
  12. He looks like the very model of a scientist Selarian. But is he quite good at genetics, as a subset of biology? Because he is an expert, which he knows is a tautology? So is he the very model of a scientist Selarian?
  13. So... as someone who suffers from Depression (and Anxiety, since the two LOVE to go hand-in-hand... the jerks), I TOTALLY know where you're coming from. The simplest negativity can shoot me into what I call a downward spiral. I think myself completely worthless, not worth the air I breathe. I've even sunken so low that I've attempted suicide before. It sucks to get that low, but I've been there. I know what it's like to push people away because you feel like you're not worth their friendship, that something small you did is going to make them very angry with you. And when you actually do make them angry with you, you feel worse about yourself. It's okay to feel that way. Now, when I read the two comments you're focusing on (honestly, I know it's hard but don't do that. Just remember, it's water off a duck's back) I got curious. I honestly thought that the second comment was saying you do sloppy sketches or something that I'd expect from someone who doesn't have a good concept of anatomy when they draw. But imagine my surprise when I saw that your art is absolutely gorgeous!?! You have your own style, as do so many other artists. And the artist saying they draw better than you? That is indeed just their opinion, and it is SO WRONG to compare a style of art to someone else's. Because no drawing style is going to be the same as someone else's. And not everyone is going to like a certain style someone has. But if that person indeed draws as well as they claim, then they can draw their own damn art and stop putting other artists down. I personally know a lot of artists who rely heavily on their commissions, so charging what they deem is fair for the work they put into a commission is essential to them. Someone else should never be the judge of what your art is worth, and if they try to tell you that your art is too expensive, then as far as I'm concerned they don't love it nearly as much as they claim. This image here: This is an image I commissioned from a friend who goes by the name Lilaccu. Her Deviantart and her Tumblr. She is a wonderful person, and you can contact her any time you want. She has to stuggle with a lot of problems too, and I'm willing to bet you might find a friend in her like I did. She has a lot of people telling her that the money she asks for is too much, because we live in an era right now where people want good art for cheap. They don't care for the artist or the artist's feelings. And that's just wrong. People like that shouldn't determine your worth or the worth of your art. Only you should be able to do that. Lilaccu also has people telling her that her art is disgusting because the art she draws for fun outside of commissions is Yuri art, because Lilaccu is gay. But you know what? When you come across people like that, remember that they say these things for selfish reasons. They are being selfish. And their selfishness shouldn't determine how you feel about your worth. But you know what? That piece above, I dropped about $65 for her to make it for me. And your art, I would drop about the same. Because even though your style is different from her style, as far as I'm concerned your art is just as gorgeous. You put just as much love and care into the art you draw as Lilaccu does, and that's what makes it so worthwhile. Learn from your mistakes. Take what time you need to feel better, and keep on swimming. P.S. If none of this makes you feel better, just listen to this: cjPTBLIfPlg
