Robin Goodfellow has thoughs on what his mun thinks about him

[faeconman]

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.

Haven't any fancy words left for you or your mun. Fairly certain they have all been said.

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.

[faeconman]

[ Oh wow, how to deal with lots of intensee feelings without shutting down and turning into an asshole? Because he doesn't like doing that to Ty. ]

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.

[quarrelsomecat]

Maybe I enjoy the familiarity. I even know half the words to them now.

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.

[faeconman]

I don't think you need to worry about ending up on the sidelines, Ty.

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

[quarrelsomecat]

I am glad to hear that at least. I think you are a bit too big of a part of me for me to keep...

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

[faeconman]

You ought to change that though. Let some more people experience how great you are.

[quarrelsomecat]

What can I say. I am a stubborn old fool of a tom cat, and there are not many people as interesting or as ... patient with my prickly nature as you are.

[faeconman]

I'm not patient, I'm emotionally repressed.

[ Laugh. ]

[quarrelsomecat]

I wonder what that makes me, then.

[slight quirk of a grin]

[faeconman]

In need of professional help.

[quarrelsomecat]

[Okay, there is the laugh.]

Suppose we're both doomed, then.

[faeconman]

[ Good, that's what he was after. ]

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

[quarrelsomecat]

I could live with being doomed with company like yours.

[faeconman]

Look at you, being all cuddly. Might make a guy think he could pet you without losing his hand.

[quarrelsomecat]

Be careful what you let yourself believe.

[faeconman]

I'm always careful.

[ Ahahaha yeah no. ]

[quarrelsomecat]

We have been brothers in arms for how long, and you expect me to buy that?

[faeconman]

It's a good line, can't blame a man for trying to use it.

[quarrelsomecat]

I could. If I wanted to.

[faeconman]

But you don't.

[ 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. ]

[quarrelsomecat]

[Yeah, okay, now you are playing dirty. Bastard.]

I could hardly blame you for anything.

[faeconman]

I know, that soft spot you have for me is absolutely delightful.

[ Yeah, he's an asshole. Look at that smile, it's irreverent and smug and not even a little bit charming, really. ]

[quarrelsomecat]

Ass.

[No, not charming at all. So annoying. Go away, gdi.]

Abusing your insight into my flawed character.
