#i think the moral ocd makes this worse too because like. it becomes so quickly impossible to distinguish 'men are sometimes shitty'

[dramarising-replacement]

As much as i love this game, this community is on every possible level one of the most irredeemable abusive shitholes I’ve ever had the infinite misfortune of being forced to share space with. There’s so much horribly wrong with everyone’s heads here that i don’t know where to start and if i tried to type it all out i would eventually find out whether or not this text box has a character limit. It is with full confidence that i can say that this community, and by extension tumblr, is absolutely the political spectrum opposite’s clone of 4chan. Possibly even worse in some ways. This community’s habit of witchhunting and dogpiling pure venom on anyone who so much as blinks in a way considered too different from the majority is disgusting even by human standards.

Every single person I’ve ever met on here was either an absolute scummy prick scammer(most of these turn out to be in plague and light, looking at you IA), a walking tumblr SJW stereotype who makes a thread every time their cat yawns(most of these turn out to be in shadow, arcane, light, and wind, prone to making posts to complain about phobias whenever something new is released), an impressively out-of-touch greedy airhead who puts way too many smileys on everything(most of these turn out to be in light and occasionally earth, especially prone to “no one ever gets dom because they’re just not trying at all lol git gud” mentality), a spoiled 9 year old with 0 reading comprehension who vanishes into the aether after two days of playing(evenly spread), someone who acts like a spoiled 9 year old with 0 reading comprehension to get free shit on the forums(evenly spread but a lot move to shadow, likely to be an older player’s alt), a walking collection of pink heart emojis and glitter who screams about cultural appropriation every time they get a turban popping out of a chest and doesn’t think that there’s any difference between “criticizing art” or “Saying you like this art better” and “viciously attacking this POOR DEVELOPING ARTIST CHILD’S FEELINGS YOU HORRIBLE HEARTLESS DOUCHEBAG”(evenly spread but tend to jump between arcane, light, water, wind, and nature, most likely to have an OCD breakdown whenever the official art on something is updated), an incredibly devoted nature user with vegan stuff and possibly bible quotes all over their profile proudly proclaiming that their dragons are vegan too and carnivore breeds can just go fuck themselves and starve and probably had a goddamned moral meltdown where they threatened to call peta when someone exalted their fodder hatchling(mostly nature, rarely light or water, likely to have a hatchery with a whole novel worth of anti-exalt rules bolded in red at the top), a just flat out asshole who thinks they’re being cool by snarking at and threatening anyone who tries to have a civil conversation with them and then playing the victim(mostly plague and fire, sometimes light, second most likely to have an ocd meltdown when old art is changed, most likely to spite exalt just for fun, just as likely as the scammer type mentioned above to falsely report someone and gloat at them for the lulz), an utter recluse who’s been on since 2013, has a 2 page lair of all basic dragons with no apparel, and probably thinks that “Forum” is a kind of sandwich, the lucky bastards(surprisingly common in lightning and to some degree in fire and nature, also seen a few in wind), or some unholy crossbreed of the above.

I assume that just by statistical probability alone there must have at some point been at least one half decent person and/or actually mature adult on this entire forsaken website, but ya know what if i meet them i’ll let ya know. Best i can tell? Everyone with a scrap of sanity in their skulls has been driven off entirely or at least partially assimilated into one of the categories above by now. Same as every other petsite that has ever existed. It’s awful. Unbearable. Taking one look at any part of this site where you can input text gives me a sickening feeling of being in some twisted nightmare dimension where everything is assbackwards and the halls are covered in glitter and stars.

And dom? Oh god, don’t get me started on that. Sports team culture? Fused with a hint of racism/nationalism for extra flavor? That’s nearly impossible to build up the manpower and money to win without having the bonuses from having already won?(And don’t start me on that “oh it’s just pennies” bullshit, pennies build up fast any you know it. If someone can sell an item for a profit of one gem and the person next to them can sell it for a profit of one and a half because they get a discount buying it in the first place, sure it’s not a big difference, but if they sell exactly the same amount of items then by the end the second person will still have made significantly more profit than the first. And then when the next round comes? That extra money can buy extra fodder and lair space for extra dom push, which means not only that they are far more likely to win and have an easier time doing so but also that when it’s over they’ll be able to buy even more items than the first person to resell for profit, and still likely save money from that dom discount. And this is just what happens with the “pennies” bonus of one single dom round.)Was this faction discrimination-riddled cesspool not toxic enough already? I legitimately can’t think of a game addition that could possibly have been worse for this record-breakingly immature bully culture than some goddamned dragon-themed imitation of sports team rivalry fused with a global cold war and a touch of monopoly.

(Also inb4 someone in the comments says something like “i think the problem is really with YOU if everyone you meet is bad” or “i think YOU’RE one of the rotten ones” or “lmao if you hate it so much leave” or “someone’s salty because ______ didn’t happen to them” or “SJW? i bet you’re the type who thinks racism doesn’t exist/911 was a conspiracy/immigrants are stealing our jobs/barney the dinosaur is going to bring the nuclear apocalypse/ect too” or “You’re not perfect/you don’t sound like such a nice person either” some such thing. I never claimed to be perfect bruh, or even good. The only thing I’m claiming to be is pissed off.)

It’s not like i can “just leave if i hate it that much” either. Have you ever actually seen a good dragon petsite beyond FR? I’ve looked. THEY DON’T FUCKING EXIST. FR DOMINATES THE MARKET ENTIRELY. THERE IS LITERALLY NO SIGNIFICANT COMPETITION WHATSOEVER. THERE. IS. NOWHERE. ELSE. TO. GO. And there will likely NEVER be anywhere else to go, because petsites tend to be the sort of market along MMO lines where there’s only room for one successful title at a time. If i want to play with dragons at all, this is my only possible option. And i don’t believe for one second that if a decent competitor site ever managed to exist that it wouldn’t immediately be overrun by the same types of people that are ruining everything here. There’s so, so much more that pisses me off but the pure rage and disappointment bathing my brain right now is fucking with my ability to think straight enough to list it.

I love this game, and i don’t want to stop playing it, but my tolerance for it’s player’s shit is holding on by a thread. I’ve been drowning in so many assholes with not one genuinely decent person in sight for so long, and I’m starting to think they either all fled, assimilated, or went into hiding. Are there really any good people on here? Please tell me there are and they’re just buried under everyone else. I just want there to be some glimmer of hope that this community isn’t an entirely lost cause, but I’ve found no evidence of such a thing. By all my observations it only becomes more toxic and abusive by the day and that doesn’t look like it will ever change. I’m nice to people, I’ve never been involved in any drama, i always complete my business transactions quickly and politely, yet all i ever get in return is snarky fake smiles, manipulation, scams, and flat-out dickishness, and when i look around at others i see more of the same happening to and being perpetuated by them aswell.

Please help me I’m trapped in this glittery insane asylum hell of backstabbing and toxic clique culture and all i have with me is a book full of stamps shaped like dragons and an increasing sense of general misanthropy

Please tell me that nice people really exist here even the fucking people I’m related to that play this game are all textbook “smiley fake sweet ‘git gud lol’ airhead” types

[deidrafaye]

Task 12: Muse Booster

Name: Deidra Faye LaReaux

Height: 5′0″

Age: 29

Birthplace: Dublin, Ireland

Hair (Color, Length, Style): Deidra’s hair is golden blonde, she typically keeps it long to about her shoulder blades but occasionally will cut it to just past shoulder length; she tends to keep it curly or wavy, but otherwise doesn’t have a preferred style .

Race/Nationality: Metahuman; Irish and French

Regional Influences: Irish, French, and to a lesser extent West Coast United States.

Accent (Voice, Style of Speech,  Slang, Signature Words/Phrases): Irish brogue, the angrier or more excited she gets the heavier her accent becomes; she is prone to switching between English, Gaelic, and even sometimes French when holding a conversation -- particularly whenever she’s fired up.

Religion: Catholic

Marital Status: Unmarried, currently in a relationship

Scars/Other Notable Physical Attributes: Deidra has a few tattoos: three simple arrow-heads behind her right ear, the Celtic symbol for strength at the base of her neck, and “Watch the queen conquer” written in her own elegant script down her left side.

Handicaps (Physical, Emotional, Mental): She is mildly OCD, but not to the point of crippling...  If you want to count functioning Alcoholism, then yeah definitely.

Athletic? Inactive? Overall Health? Deidra eats well and takes care of her body to keep it at a peak level of fitness and strength, although some might say her normalized drinking (read: alcoholism) would cancel out her healthy efforts.

Style of Dress: Business chic/casual, business professional, feminine.  When she is not at work she opts for business casual or a step below.  She can also often be found in workout gear, especially around the Rebel base.

Favorite Colors: Blush, rose gold, gold, gray, lavender and other purple hues.

How does she feel about her appearance? Deidra is very confident about her appearance, and she knows how best to present herself and show herself off when she wants to.  She knows her appearance is just as important as her knowledge and skill in the corporate world, and in the regular world too.

Any siblings? None, she is an only child.

Relationship with parents: She loves her parents, but currently has a rather tense relationship with her father due to a difference in values and opinions on how the family company should be run and who they should be partnered with.

Memories about childhood: Dee had a happy, innocent and perhaps even sheltered childhood given her family’s wealth and influence.  Her fondest memories are of playing with her cousins during the holidays and other trips home to Ireland.  Her favorite memories are of when her powers finally manifested and her mother taught her how to control and create with them.

Educational background (Street smart?  Book smart?): Deidra graduated with degrees in business marketing and management, and is pretty self-taught (with Alice’s and Bridgette’s help) in computer programming.  She is fairly evenly skilled in terms of book smarts and street smarts.

Work Experience: She is the CMO of LaReaux Industries and heir of the position of CEO when her father retires (if he ever decides to).

Where does she live now?  Describe home (Emotional atmosphere & physical): She has three main places of residence; her high-rise penthouse apartment in Wolfhurst, her room in the new Rebel base, and had been staying at Kaden’s off and on while he was out of town; since his return she has been staying with him much more frequently.  Her homes reflect her expensive and opulent tastes (she’s even given Kaden’s apartment a little of her touch).

Neat or messy: Generally neat; she doesn’t mind a little disorder every now and then, so long as it’s taken care of and organized soon.

Sexuality: Heteroromantic, heterosexual

Morals: Deidra is fairly lawful good, and believes herself to have high morals and standards -- they’re much highers than her father’s, at least.  She knows things aren’t just black and white, but always tries to do what she believes to be the right thing.

Activities: Yoga, running, kickboxing, Jujutsu and other mixed martial arts, shopping, drinking.

Friends?  Pets? No pets, although she constantly has die-hard puppy fever.  Her best friends are Alice, Kara, Daniel and Manny (even though he doesn’t remember), as well as Finn, Charlie, and Natalia.

Enemies?  Why? She sees C.A.R.M.A. as a necessary enemy, if only because the organization does strive to protect everyone from rogue Metahumans, even though she doesn’t agree with everything they do.  The Nephilim are a concern to her too, because they stand for everything she and her friends and everyone who is pro-Meta are trying to put an end to.

Basic Nature: Dee at first tends to come across as either abrasive or stuck-up (and almost always chilly and intimidating) but she warms to people relatively quickly depending on her initial impressions, which aren’t often wrong.  Most quickly realize that she is a very maternal and ‘bossy’ woman with a short temper and quick tongue.

Personality Traits: Ambitious, bitchy, blunt, compassionate, cool under pressure, diplomatic, intelligent, intuitive, kind-hearted, maternal, observant, outgoing, passionate, quick-tempered, quick-thinking, sarcastic, self-less, strategic, stubborn, witty.

Strongest/Weakest Traits: Her strongest traits would likely be her kind, compassionate heart, her intuition (motherly or otherwise), her natural inclination to lead and take charge, and her passion with which she devotes herself to people and to interests.  Her weakest traits are her sheer stubbornness, her fiery temper and quick mouth, and her tendency to be self-sacrificing and of always putting others before herself even when she shouldn’t.

What does she fear? Deidra is terribly afraid of wasps, primarily because she is allergic to them.  She is also afraid of failing, especially of failing those that mean the most to her.  She most fears turning into her father though, of becoming a manipulative, ruthless person with flawed morals like he is.

What is she proud of? Deidra is most proud of what she has accomplished without the influence of her family name or without having to name-drop her father.  She likes knowing that she isn’t completely dependent on daddy’s money and power and can take care of herself just fine.

Outlook on life: She tries to be optimistic for the sake of her friends and the other Rebels (especially the younger, newer ones), but she naturally gravitates toward realism and even pessimism when she’s in a particularly bad mood.  Most of the time she channels her negativity into motivation to do better.

Ambitions: Deidra really does want to take over the family company, and wants to do good by it.  She also wants to see Alice, Kara, Daniel and Finn, Manny, and all of the other Rebels and their friends and family happy and able to live normal lives.

Politics: Deidra’s political views are a mix of conservative and progressive.  She is mostly opportunistic and progressive with company and business matters.  Her opinions on healthcare, immigration, and education are more conservative.  She’s conflicted when it comes to Metahuman rights, even though she is one herself.

How does she see herself? Deidra sees herself as a good person, although she frequently worries and feels like she isn’t enough or isn’t doing enough for those who are important to her.  She’s always trying to do better and to be better than she thinks that people thinks of her.

How are they seen by others? A tiny blonde bombshell with a bad temper and a foul mouth, a tiny blonde bombshell who could kick your ass in her 5-inch heels and not break a sweat (or nail, or heel, etc.)...  Most of the Rebels, and especially her closest friends, see her as The Mom Figure or Mama Bear and freely call her as much to her face.

Do I (the writer) like her?  Why or why not?  I really like Deidra, both when writer her and as a person too.  She is a mess of paradoxes and is okay with that, is confident in herself and with who she is, and she really cares about and is willing to do anything for those who matter to her.

Most important thing about her: She puts others before herself, and isn’t as selfish as she thinks she is.

Present Problem: If her father decides that ousting his own daughter as a Metahuman to C.A.R.M.A. will benefit himself and LaReaux Industries more than keeping her under his protection...  Well, she doesn’t want to think about what might happen.  There is also the fact that she is dating a C.A.R.M.A. agent...

How will it get worse: If her Metahuman status is outed in any way for whatever reason, she could not only be in serious trouble but so could Kaden, and she couldn’t live with herself if anything happened to him because of her.

Her goals? Turn her family’s company away from her father’s twisted gray morals and run it with integrity, settle down and maybe start a family.  Most of all she wants to see her friends happy though, as impossible as it might seem.

What traits will help/hurt her in achieving this goal? Her maternal instincts, determination, wit, and business management skills will definitely be of help to her.

What makes her different from similar characters? I think what makes Deidra different from the typical blonde, popular chick, queen bee, snobbish and selfish heiress, cheerleader bitch type is that she isn’t a shallow, selfish person, is an all-around smart and successful woman, and most importantly doesn’t put down others just for her gain.  She genuinely cares about the people she loves and is willing to put her life on the line for them.  She is also a far cry from the damsel-in-distress type that some may be foolish enough to see her as.

Why will people remember her vividly?  People will either remember Deidra as the ultra-privileged princess who always cared about and put others before herself, or as the bitchy functioning alcoholic with the temper of a hornet’s nest.  Both are just as likely.
