munday: your muse vs you!

tagged by: the dash, last week

take the test here!

andrei’s type: ISTJ-T, the logistician

introverted - 78% observant - 70% thinking - 79% judging - 83% turbulent - 81%

eri’s type: INFP-T, the mediator

introverted - 79% intuitive - 63% feeling -66% prospecting - 71% turbulent - 82%

what are some differences between you and your muse?

I feel I’m much less organized and methodical than Andrei is, preferring not to stick to a tight, unchanged schedule (though a to-do list does help my spotty memory, haha). That makes me less productive, because the mere existence of a goal doesn’t always motivate me very much. At the same time, that tends to make me more patient with other people who may be struggling with similar issues or just need a little extra time, which is more than can be said for Andrei, at least when he’s in charge of making sure something goes smoothly.

Compared to me, Andrei is more neutral towards conflict. He’s not thrilled by it, but neither does he fear / shy away from it. I, on the other hand, have a hard time handling conflict without simply giving up my side of the fight. It’s to the point that I even find it difficult writing it for him, which I do hope to work on improving.

I’m not nearly as resentful as him about the past; really, it just seems like there’s enough stuff going on in life in the present to not let go of what’s already said and done, right? On the other hand, I do tend to worry about the future more than he does — in part because he still doesn’t really consider himself as having a future, while I do, but... eh, I’ll still consider this a point in his favor.

I have never tried to kill my siblings or my dad— Ok in all seriousness, I guess after growing up, I try harder to communicate with my family about my concerns or issues before they come down to stuff like ‘I don’t know how to solve this problem short of patricide and there’s no one I can turn to ask for help so I’m just going ahead with this plan’ (rip Ring). My siblings and I also have good relationships that do not involve attempted murder, so I’d say I win this one :relieved:

I... like to think I’m kind of a fun person... hopefully. Andrei is basically Mr. No Fun Allowed, from a pretty young age, and even if he’s maybe showing signs of loosening up around some people here, maybe letting himself smile a little more, he’ll never... crack jokes or anything like that.

what are some similarities between you and your muse?

While I do take sentiment into account when it comes to people (and to an extent, so does he! he just doesn’t admit it as readily, even though it’s not necessarily a bad thing), I’m also fairly logical and enjoy analyzing things (as people who’ve seen me crunch numbers during events might note, haha). Neither of us are the best at strategizing or seeing the big picture, and I’d probably lose to Brigid too if I tried to fight or set a trap for her, but hey, we try!

We are both pessimistic by nature and tend towards caring about other people’s perceptions, as well as being critical of ourselves. Honestly, there’s a reason the whole ‘I’ve never done anything worthy of being praised’ thing in Oosawa Ch.42 hits me hard every time I read it.

This is a point that I feel I’ve extrapolated for Andrei from the manga, but is in large part affected by my own personality — our lack of natural adeptness in a leadership position, as well as dislike of being a leader at all. We would be better at an supporting/advisory position in a team, and while I’ve been fortunate to have the chance to occupy those kinds of positions throughout my school career (and sort of in my career... career? i’m probably still too much of a greenhorn to be considered much support yet though) and was able to apply myself well, Andrei gets the short end of the stick with his canon position, which only adds to the perceived hopelessness of the situation for him.

#a week later but it's munday again so i figured i might as well get this post up!#there was a question that went 'when someone thinks highly of you you wonder how long it takes for them to become disappointed'#and that spoke on a v deep level to both andrei and myself hahaha ;;;#➵ brave bow (headcanon)#➵ a quiverful of arrows (ooc)

7 and 20 for salty Munday? :0

7. Things that you will not tolerate?

Anyone trying to guilt or force me (or anyone else) into role playing, especially ERP! Also, seeing people bully others for their opinions.

I've had someone I considered a friend irl cut off contact with me because I said I didn't feel comfortable RP-ing anything sexual. Their argument at first was 'well you did that one time' and kept pestering me about it once or twice a day. After about a week or two of me refusing they stopped talking to me aside from short one or two word texts. The next time I saw them irl was at an event. They gave me a wave and half-smile before ghosting me for 2 days and then never texting me again. It hurt but I don't regret standing by my decision. RPers don't owe others anything, especially if it is something that makes them uncomfortable. RP is a hobby, it's not worth being in a stressful or triggering situation for.

It hasn't always been in an RP setting, but seeing people bullied for expressing their opinions is something that has always bothered me. While there is rarely anything I can do aside from send my support, I will do anything I can to help! <3 (*Mun has convinced a few trolls to appologize, though.)

20. Wild card: The mun discusses any situation/problem they want.

*Slams hands down*

ALRIGHT. Ya'll might want to go grab some popcorn to go with all this salt. This is some BS I dealt with years ago that convinced me to give up on RP-ing for years...

I had this 'friend' in high school who I seemed to have a lot of common interests with at the time. Let's call him... Josh. I gave Josh my e-mail address at some point because he mentioned he was planning on moving after HS. Well a few months after graduation he messages me asking about joining a fantasy RP (sort of like DnD, but through instant messenger) and wants to establish rapport between our characters before I join in with his group. Cool. But then 2 sentences in his character starts trying to put his hands all over mine...

I tried to laugh it off at first and told him to knock it off. He did for a while, but kept going back to it. It got to the point where as soon as I logged in to check my mail he started greeting me with "Hey baby *kisses you*" etc., when I called him out he just said "I'm just being in-character lol. I love my girlfriend" or something to that effect.

I was getting weirded out by all the attention so I stopped logging on as often when I knew he wasn't at work. Eventually he used my e-mail address to find me on a website I used to frequent a lot in high school (Gaia Online) and sent me a friend request and message saying who it was and "pls get on messenger, I miss chatting with you". I talked to him a while, saying maybe later before logging out. I made a new account with another e-mail I had and everything was cool for a while...

A few months later he messages me on THAT account, saying "hey [my name] I miss you. Did you lose your other acct? Lolol". I played dumb, telling him I wasn't who he thought I was, that I didnt know him, and that I didn't give out my e-mail to people. And he just responded with "liar, [aquaintence] gave me ur e-mail. Why u dodging me sweetheart?"

My brain just fucking stopped working. As$hole got a hold of an acquaintence on Facebook, who got my e-mail from a mutual friend who I'd given it to BECAUSE of this very thing and not wanting to lose touch with my other HS buddies... They had assumed it was fine to give to Josh because they'd both known I was friends with him in HS and figured i'd just forgotten to e-mail him before I stopped using the other account... I don't blame either of them because I hadn't mentioned what was going on or who was involved at the time.

Josh (I assume) then starts making other accounts/e-mails to spam me claiming to be 'friends of his' to try and guilt trip me into talking to him, make me feel like an idiot/jerk/etc., for avoiding him when he 'just wanted to be friends'.

Finally, there was a point in my second year of college where I HAD to check my first e-mail for official correspondence from the school. He immediately messaged me when I logged in, saying he was going to break up with his girlfriend because she was a "dumb b*tch," and that he wanted to 'explore things' with me. He wanted to "talk about it when [he] got back into town" and told me he would meet me on [college's] campus sometime.

I never told him that I still lived in the same town...or where I went to college... He claims his younger sister told him bc she also attended there, but she was shocked when I mentioned him. She claims she didn't know I went there until AFTER he mentioned it and that she never told him about me going there. She said neither she nor their mother had talked to him in over a year and "Last time [her mother] talked to him, he sounded like he was off his meds."

Thankfully I never saw him again, but I was really, REALLY fucking scared for a long time. Especially since I had to walk to-and-from the campus at the time. I was too anxious to tell anyone about it, including my parents, friends, and campus security because I felt like I'd brought all this upon myself and I shouldn't inconvenience anyone else with my problems.

So yeah...There's my stalker ex-friend creepy-sexual-RP story D:

Sorry for the long rant!
