Robin Goodfellow has thoughs on what his mun thinks about him
Dearest, sweetest and most darling Mun,
I know I frustrate you. Or rather, that you frustrate yourself using me as a medium since you're the one who created me.
I know that I am at this point very far removed from what I was originally intended to be, and I know that while some might call that character development you will se it as a failure, because that's what you do.
You feel like I have no consistent personality and like you have adapted me and my reactions too much to your own whims, and it doesn't seem to matter how many times people tell you that they disagree. You are unhappy with the backstory you cooked up for me at the drop of a hat and on impulse, but you really ought to stop beating yourself up over it at some point since no one is really complaining but you and you're dealing with far worse backstory problems with some of your other muses. At least mine you could rewrite if you really wanted to. I am yours to do with as you please, which is a bit more than what could be said about most of the others you've been active with lately.
The feeling of aimlessness you have, however, is one I do share, but would it really be so hard to come up with a plotline or something to do? If you truly think so, I must begin to question why I'm still here. Me having relationship issues is hardly going to be satisfactory for anyone in the long run and I have probably begun to bore people rather badly already.
Most absurd of all your complaints, however, must be the one where you worry that I'm boring in bed. First off it's not really a concern in most of my interactions with people, nor do I want it to be, and secondly you do recall that I have a lover, right? Don't think that would have come about had your representation of me in, shall we call it carnal situations? been less than pleasing. I can see why I worry about it, because it's in my bloody nature to do so, but why you do is completely beyond me. Well, since I am rather intimately familiar with you I know the reasoning behind it, but that doesn't mean I think it makes even the slightest amount of sense.
Add to these more specific concerns all of your general hang-ups about your writing and it doesn't really paint a very pretty picture.
So why am I bringing all of this up? Because we have gotten stuck in a rut, my dear, and either you find a way to get us out of it or you let me retire.
I think that just about sums it up. You take care, now.

You know, sometimes I think our muns may get a bit too smut minded. As if it's the be-all-end-all of RP.
The Fool says hi, btw.
no subject
And the smut-thing would take a while to explain I think, and yet would probably not be very interesting so I shall be content to say that you may have a bit of a point.
no subject
It's just an observation of mine and sometimes of my mun who frets a lot because of it.
But, mine feels the same way about me and my personality and reactions. Never mind the fact that people react and have different personalities in different situations with different people. I'm certainly going to act different with my sister depending on who is around.
no subject
Your mun shouldn't fret, most meaningful interactions are not about sex at all, and in truth mine gets rather bored if there isn't an element of character development somewhere in all the fleshy stuff.
And you are of course right about people, I suppose her biggest complaint is that I turned out to be so broody. Not entirely befitting someone called the Merry Wanderer.
no subject
Mine likes the character development and interaction a lot more than the fleshy bits... bites... stuff... erm.
It's an ironic title? It's what mortals call you to avoid your ire? Like calling the fey the Fair Folk and the Lords and Ladies, etc.
no subject
Lead-up and aftermath are usually the most fun parts, though there has been some rather spectacular smut-threads going on between a pair of recent additions to her large armada of ships. In regards to them being very character-revealing and relevant, that is.
What, are you saying I'm not Fair of countenance? [ Just kidding. ]
It's a clever thought. There is of course also the fact that I am not the only Puck in existence, even in my own personal canon.
no subject
Yes, I agree, those are pretty fun. Sex can be rather character revealing and relevant. Especially when you finally get down to it. Get on with it... Your mun's very good at shipping and the fact that she got mine shipping me with Liz is a pretty good achievement on her part.
From all the gifs I've seen of you? You're very Fair of countenance and look damn good in that coat. Reynard still creeps me out looking like my brother though.
See. There you go. It's a fairly known superstition that the way you avoid the wrath of fairies is to flatter them and leave food out. And it's possible that people just don't differentiate between Pucks.
no subject
Oh yeah, I've been watching that little development between you and her with interest. Mun will be all flattered and happy for the rest of the evening now for that compliment so on her behalf I thank you.
He looks like your brother? That would throw one off a little I imagine, yes.
Well, that's one problem solved I suppose.
no subject
She should be! Mine has managed to studiously not ship me with any canon character since 2004ish. And now look at me.
They have the same PB and so it gets a wee bit confusing sometimes.
Yeah. I will admit that I've gone quiet for times, though not retired. I've never completely retired but taken breaks? Being the Main Muse is hard sometimes especially when you've been around for so long. Sometimes you just fade in the background for a bit and then come back when interesting people like you and your mun's folk show up.
no subject
Now look at you indeed. Don't feel bad, she's a fine young lady.
Oh, I know that feeling. Seen a couple of people who look just like myself. Even talk to one of them from time to time.
Aye, there are several people in this head who have faded rather a lot. Like Siobhan.
no subject
She is! And perhaps we may actually someday get past the awkward stage and go on an actual date.
Has she? I was wondering why I hadn't seen her around. I'm sure she'll come back. Everyone liked her over on this side of things. And you're to strong of a personality to go away forever.
no subject
I think you'll get there, my mun would like me to convey her apologies for being so slow.
Sio likes all of you guys too, which is why I mentioned her. She'll never go away completely but yeah, she's sort of been put on the bench for a while.
I'm pretty permanently installed, as you say. It's just a matter of being out and about or not, and in what shape to be out.
no subject
Mine says there's nothing to it and trust yours. Occasionally boggles at how many tags you have! I don't think we've ever had that many at one time.
Focus and out of focus. I have to admit that it was weird not being at the front for a while.
no subject
It just shows that my mun has too much spare time and is trying to bite off more than she can chew. Besides, I think a lot of people have more tags than what is current standard over here.
Mm, I can imagine you getting a little figety if you're out of the limelight for too long.
no subject
No. Maybe he shouldn't.
We're lucky if we get ten tags in the morning. Of course we're also pickier because of being afraid of getting overwhelmed...
Yeah. It's not fun. Like getting stuck on a sugar buzz and not allowed to move.
no subject
But I think it should be known I would be rather- I'd be-
It would be difficult to see you retire.
But maybe we are both two old fools who are long past due for retirement years.
no subject
Never said it would be an easy thing to do either.
But you must know you are one of the people I worry about. Must be tiresome to hear me sing the same songs over and over.
no subject
Anyway, I did not drop in to make this more difficult.
I just thought someone aught to remind you that if I can find a way, a willingness and a want for it from the two of them...
I would follow you straight to heaven or hell. Even if I end up stuck keeping an eye on your sorry arse from the shadows. [Slight laugh] I can be quite good at staying out of sight an inconspicuous as a cat.
To hell with what anyone says. If nothing else you're my best friend and someone needs to look out for you.
no subject
And you're not making it more difficult, you... you're a part of me too now. What you have to say is valuable.
Feelings honesty is painful
Let's just say there has been very little other reason for my being around, than your being around as well.
Al the ouchy feels

Much as I hate to say it my asshole father may have a point about that one, yes.

[ How could you ever blame this face for anything?
Well, it's probably quite easy since he can look quite blameable when he wants to, but anyway. ]
no subject
I could hardly blame you for anything.
no subject
[ Yeah, he's an asshole. Look at that smile, it's irreverent and smug and not even a little bit charming, really. ]
no subject
[No, not charming at all. So annoying. Go away, gdi.]
Abusing your insight into my flawed character.
