So crazy, awkward but albeit serious question about a natural cycle and RP.

Not one of those people besides Mae actually broached the topic I actually brought up, they keep approaching it as normal people or even martial powered people...

 

But they -did- approach the topic you put to them. You're twisting the context to suit your desires. Like it was said a couple posts ago, walking with a pebble in your shoe is harder to deal with than PMS. A superpowered amazon She-ra dark knight would likely be able to cope with the symptoms (very minor ones, at that) much more easily than a normal woman because she's fucking She-ra and she ain't got no time fo dat PMSin.

The problem may lie in my perception of how much will is exerted to hold these forces back and others. Personally I figure it would be a tremendous amount of will power not something you just willy nilly deal with day by day. I just imagine if it was that easy everyone would be one of these two classes in Eorzea. But yeah I see what you and people like Roda and Mae are saying.

"These forces"

You talking dark knight powers or hormones?

Dark knight powers: idk up to your headcanons.

hormones: I wouldn't even call them a force. Walking with a pebble in your shoe harder than dealing with pms.

Dark Knight powers, and Inner Beast. The quest lines don't portray them as willy nilly, eh you got this type stuff, yet people keep treating them like they are.. that's where I think the communication barriers keep coming from. It's not my head cannon I go by how the game portrays it.. it's everyone else's Head Cannon assuming they're characters got this.

Ah, yeah.  Personally my headcanon (even though I haven't finished the storyline so, you know, mounds of salt) is that it's easy to keep down when not in use, but when you're channeling it, things get tricky.  And the more power you channel at once, the more you are at risk of losing control.  Kind of like a fire hose. '3'

 

 

And

Listen I get that this can be an uncomfortable subject hell I apologized for it three damn times in the OP, but that doesn't mean that you guys have to come here and try to derail the thread, honestly the thread was over after I replied to Mae's post. But everyone else just keeps it going it's silly.

Don't worry about it. They're the ones being rude, not you.

This is why I am treating it like Jane schmane's period. Because compared to darkside/inner beast, pms shouldn't register on your character's radar as a problem.

 

To continue my comparison, Imagine you've a pebble in your shoe. Now, imagine someone is rapid firing paintballs at your face. You're going to suck up that pain of stepping on that pebble to avoid the pain of all them paintballs. In that moment, you probably wouldn't even feel that pebble.

Thank You.

Hey Melkire can you just shut the thread down? Mae (as I keep pointing out and people keep ignoring.) pretty much answered the thread a few pages ago!

It is uncomfortable, but do you understand why? 

It's not uncomfortable because of society treating period discussion as a taboo.

It's not uncomfortable because it deals with bodily fluids.

 

It's uncomfortable because, well, to beat around the bush, if someone were to ask me: 

 

"Ember, what are some tips for RPing a female character?"

 

...I would include "Emotional fluctuations affecting superpowers negatively" as something not to do.
