RE: The Purpose of Humor - Caspar - 01-16-2015
I like humorous scenes. However, when I try to craft a humorous scene, I like to give a darker or more complex reason for the behavior. A person who is awkward socially might have a very depressing reason for being so humorously inept that makes a reader uncertain of whether they should laugh. I want to get that kind of feeling, where something is involuntarily funny and you feel a certain sense of "simulated guilt." I want to make people feel mixed feelings when I create a character.

I don't mind a bit of humour though it becomes very jarring if done in excess. The same can be said of 'gritty' role-play as well - it's best to have a healthy mix of themes in my opinion to prevent stagnation and encourage a wide range of characters with varied personalities to get involved in something.

I only really get annoyed with people who think their character is funny but they're actually just shitting memes all over the place, I am thankful to have found very few of these in ffxiv
on that note: anyone who describes themselves as "witty and sarcastic" is likely neither witty nor sarcastic
