I need to be witnessed and I look so good, so let's have some commotion for the dresses I didn't pick but really loved

Starting off with my GIRL, the one I want to run through a field of wildflowers in. Look at her! Such a close race, because we're planning a handfasting and some other nontrad options and that modern-medieval silhouette coulda been good. She's such a gorgeous gal but not quite right for the plan. (Stella York)

In a similar vibe, this one feels very Juliet to me (it's the corset-esque waistline). Forsooth, if this was a big to-do and my whole acting company was coming and we were doing Bits throughout the reception, this would be the one. (Also Stella York, I believe)

The first one I ever laid eyes on - which has the detailing I want, but is so young and princessy - and as my mother said, princess is sweet but that's for a younger me. The queen I am now deserves more. (Mori Lee, I believe)

And of course - some commotion for the shop with the winning dress.

---

I really didn't think this would be as good of an experience as it has been. I was fully prepared (by a lifetime of shopping as a curvy gal) to spend hours sobbing in my car.

I also didn't expect to like this process like this.

But I know what I like and what I don't, now. And I am actually stronger in myself and my decisions, now.

And we get to make this ritual about and for us.

At the time of writing this, I'm very sleepy, but consider this a "Joan's late night thought" post (It's around 11pm where I'm at).

As my rping career gets more mature I've realized I started to care less about basic stuff like being "ooc" or focused on follower counts or blog aesthetics or trying to get along with everyone's muses on tumblr bc that's nigh impossible. I'm so lazy my theme/rules/graphics are the bare minimum or 90% are copy-pasted from my other blogs or recycled.

Instead, what's more important to me now is *how* I write my replies/threads. Have I cramped too much information in one reply and have made it difficult for rp partners to make their next reply focus on one single direction? Do I leave enough information in one reply to allow my rp partners to continue the thread based on it? Have I picked the best word choices that suit my muse? (Particularly for Jade, he always uses polite forms of every word. So he rarely swears, but here's the fun part. There are ways to make him cuss and still appear faithful to the canon character, but that's EXACTLY a writer's job to make that work even if he never swore on screen to reference from). If we've plotted, did my reply push the plot forward or was it just beating around the bush? Did 10 paragraphs of writing successfully convey what I wanted to show/tell the reader or were they just ramblings that only had a vague meaning of the message I wanted to bring -

I feel that shifting my priority to these concerns rather than the other aspects of rp has made writing really enjoyable for me again (that I haven't felt in years bc I was too caught up with restricting my muse since I tend to have a preference to really stick to the source material, 99% of the times I only write canons, the other "phase" was being too focus on making the writing pretty, but using the right words which doesn't always have to be difficult is far more important than pretty writing) but I can't believe it took me this long to realize that this is not what rp is about.

Reminder to myself but here, if you need it, too.

Yes, it is important to remain informed, critical of thought, and engaged/connected with the world rather than numb to it.

However, endlessly scrolling deeper into the abyss of whatever darkness has compelled you with its horror right now, is in fact a form of sabotaging/even hurting yourself rather than information-gathering or preparation for action.

If you can do nothing but stare open-mouthed as you continue to consume the horrors, you're not doing yourself or anyone affected any favors. Snap out of it and come back into the groundedness of your physical reality. Whether that's touching grass, getting a hot beverage, counting five red objects around you or screaming into/punching a pillow.

Then, do something.

Ten years after the victory, and he was dodging between chunks of marble and granite as he wove his way to the Academy. Sometimes Coriolanus wondered if the debris had been left there to remind the citizens of what they had endured. People had short memories. They needed to navigate the rubble, peel off the grubby ration coupons, and witness the Hunger Games to keep the war fresh in their minds. Forgetting could lead to complacency, and then they’d all be back at square one.

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (Suzanne Collins)

I love how this book nicely shows that even with all the correct assumptions, you can get to completely different conclusions. That instead of openness, the horrors of war can lead to more cruelty.
