meme: reverse questions with a twist!

[throughaphase]

I was already bored during a weirdly slow week at work, and then I accidentally typed a posting date as "10/10/8120" which for those keeping track is six thousand years in the future, and now I've screwed myself into a lot of time spent on hold to fix it.

Look, if you're gonna mess up, do it by a few millennia.

Pose a question (or as many as you'd like, and they don't all have to be in one comment, so you can come back later and add more if you want) to your fellow players about the game or their characters, and they will Wall-of-Text if they want to, look, I know how some of you are answer them. They can be personal or silly. You don't have to answer all of them! Nothing counts in game, of course and etc.

Questions might include "Which of your characters are you the most like?", "Which BDE was your favorite?", "What music do you RP to?", etc.

And we havent done this since February. Ping, please! Help meeeeee.

It depends. I'm generally more free with canonically straight characters in terms of making them at least a little bi, but frankly, at the end of the day that tends to be a case of chemistry. Some of my straight-as-fuck characters are never going to have that kind of chemistry with someone their own gender, and I'm not going to shove them off that cliff just because I feel more at ease playing queer characters. (See Edward, for instance.)

And then there's the canonically-straight characters where I also have OOC reasons to bend things a bit: Ender's written by a virulent anti-gay author, but he's coded so obviously queer in the books, it felt strange for him to be anything but gay. Or Dante, who caused a whole to-do when one comment from the promo material for his game was interpreted as 'DOES THAT MEAN HE'S GAY', and the company's party line was '... no, but now we regret not making him gay'. (Never mind that all versions of Dante are just a little bit camp... anyway, at the end of the day, it made much more sense instinctively to push him towards 3 on the Kinsey scale.)

But honestly, these days there's also more openly queer characters in various canons, and I'm trying to drift towards them a bit. (And I'd never change the sexuality of a gay or bi character because um.)

I could answer the question myself, but this answer is pretty much exactly my approach.

And mine, honestly. Go team!
