Regarding Mun's Awkwardness.

[dr_pretty_boy]

You have got to get over this irrational fear of posting me in memes were there's another me already posted. Need I remind you that you've been putting me there a while before either of me other selves came over? Why should you feel obligated to back off?

You don't want to put me in a game, Mun. I can understand that. But that means you have to use me somewhere, and if that means posting alongside another version of me, so be it.

On a slightly similar note; please stop judging me against them. You're not a bad mun (Except for when you are, but that has nothing to do with your writing and everything to do with the fact that you apparently love to see me suffering). Stop thinking that just because they are written smoother, or babble longer means they're better.

You're psyching yourself out, Mun, and I'm tired of having to deal with it.

Hey. C'mon, Reid, you've gotta get through to your mun. She's got nothing to worry about.

My mun, she -- feels the same, sometimes, especially when she drops tags. They forget to enjoy themselves. [he huffs in wry amusement.] Like attracts like, I guess.

[dr_pretty_boy]

I've been trying! She's paranoid about her ability to properly portray me, anyway. Seems to think that other people pull off my rants and dry wit better then she can.

Personally, I think I'm not such a terrible version of myself.

Also, your mun is doing a fantastic job! She needs to keep doing exactly what she has been because I happen to really enjoy your company, be it in a class room or in some tiny shack somewhere, freezing.

[not_taserproof]

My mundane also suffers under this impression.

They are jealous creatures, I feel.

[dr_pretty_boy]

I think that any 'role player' has to enjoy a certain degree of ego that allows them the confidence to even attempt to portray us. Yours has the added benefit of you being...well, you. [Grin]

For what it's worth, I think your mun is doing a great job! My own mun has been debating for the past days since my rather hectic and embarrassing confession about seeing if you wished to continue the idea. So far, she's proven to be less then able to hit the 'send message' button.

Though...I think I may have just done it for her.

[not_taserproof]

What seems a blessing in one breath may be a curse in another. There are many who would speak on behalf of Thor. The problem compounds itself.

Though it is good to hear that my mundane and I have earned your regard.

Ah, brave move! She should not worry so. Indeed, it would be our pleasure.

[dr_pretty_boy]

While it is true that many would speak on behalf of Thor, not all are able to keep said speech accurate. It's a skill your mundane, and thereby yourself, have in spades.

Less brave and more accidental, but I will take the results offered! Once I got over my awkwardness, I really enjoyed our time together. If you wouldn't be opposed to me spending more time in your company, I would be a happy man.

[not_taserproof]

I wish I could speak of your own, but all I can say with certainty is that I enjoyed our time together. My mundane has stated that she found your reservation endearing, and is curious to learn more of your origins.

Incentive, I believe, to continue.

[dr_pretty_boy]

Well...if it would be something you'd be interested in...

How strange. I would think a mun would be eager to demonstrate their superiority over others. Then again, I have been told that not everyone has my sense of fun. Pity, really. [Justine, you're not here to lament how no one is as much a sociopath as you.]

Regardless, I've been asked to tell you that it's very common to feel that way. I do, in fact, have a version of you sharing my mun's headspace, and my mundane only recently built the courage to make an account. Something about being left in a basket. It took her an embarrassingly long time to do so, and she still feels intimidated by other versions. It's really quite pathetic.

I really do not understand insecurity. It is better to simply live your life without worrying what others think of you, is it not?

[dr_pretty_boy]

In order to demonstrate superiority, one much actually have it, first. At least, one must think they have it. My mun lacks confidence in both and so she does her best to not post me somewhere people may be able to compare...me? side by side and judge her inadequate.

Though...your mun shouldn't be worried. Your headspace fellow is one of the versions of myself that my mun is wary of posting me next to.

[coveredinchains]

I suppose your mun is not a member of nobility, then. How strange it must be to not be constantly reminded of your own superiority. No matter--if she wishes to gain confidence, that would require her allowing you out more often, correct? Insecurity is self-defeating more than anything else. [Believe it or not, this is her version of a pep talk.]

What an odd coincidence. My mun gets nervous about posting alongside yours as well, and we characters are the ones forced to bother her into using us anyway. Why don't we all agree that our muns need to gain a little self-confidence and get back to playing games? [Don't fall for it, Reid! Her 'games' involve blinding people!]

[dr_pretty_boy]

[Reid remembers! Or, he would remember if his mun would get off her lazy ass and actually post. Honestly, one doesn't need more then a few hours of sleep, right?]

Maybe not 'games' so to speak, but they definitely need to get over their own insecurities. Mine in particular. She...has been having a small fit for a while because she's been wanting to do a thread where I...well, where I inherited my mother's illness for quite some time. And now she's afraid that if she does it now, she'll look like a copy-cat...

[coveredinchains]

[Truly, sleep is for the weak. So says the sociopath and her mun who happens to be unable to function without at least seven hours.]

My mun doesn't have a patent on exploiting your genetic predisposition to schizophrenia. I personally think it would be quite fun to watch. Tell your mun to not worry so much. [It's possible that she's just interested in seeing you go nuts, Reid.]

[highwarlock]

You know what my Mun did once? She put me in a thread with myself. Do you know how confusing that was? Interacting with myself?

[ Clearly, this is the only part he deemed important. ]

[dr_pretty_boy]

My mun did that to, once.

[Was that a blush? Yes, yes it was, but he's just going to push on because thinking about that wasn't helping anything here.]

[highwarlock]

[ He saw that blush, Dr. Reid. He saw it. ]

Oh really? Was it fun?

[dr_pretty_boy]

[Dammit! >

I..don't really remember much of it, to be honest.

[Just gunna..clear his throat now and pretend like he was too good to have woken up from a night of drinking to find another version of himself sprawled naked with him in his bed.]

[highwarlock]

Oh! It sounds like it was fun.

[ A very amused grin. ]

My experience was less fun.

[dr_pretty_boy]

[Oh, so much blushing. So much.]

[highwarlock]

[ Head tilt. ]

Do you want to talk about it?

[dr_pretty_boy]

No!

[A little fast there, don't you think, Reid?]

I mean...there's really not much to say. What about you? You said your experience wasn't fun? [Subject change, GO!]

[highwarlock]

[ Oh, this totally isn't over. Magnus is going to find a way to come back to this. ]

Hm, it really wasn't. Turns out that I don't get along with myself. We argue. [ That doesn't sound crazy at all. ] We also had a kid.
