So I've decided to make this a regular thing, tackling the various issues and things that take place in our universe. I hope you enjoy reading and it provides some insight.
Lets talk about love and relationships for a minute in the galaxy we write our characters in. Relationships are nice ways to develop our characters and give them something more to fight for than just honor or death. It gives you that realness that your character has something real to come back home to or sacrifice themselves over. Whether it's an NPC marriage or a player marriage or just a sweet little puppy love relationship, or maybe it's scarlet chronicles status hey I don't judge. But if you look at that relationship you can see just how fake it is in comparison to how most relationship work in the real world. Most relationships in real life take a while to happen, what with mutual attraction comparability, getting past the friend zone. (Yes Men, the friend zone exists for women too) But all of these things play into a relationship in real life as well as a lot more. After say a month or so people generally start dating and lead to a relationship. Now lets look at RP world
Bam pow right in the kisser! It happens that fast, one moment you are slaying a krate dragon with your hot male, female, or gender neutral chibby thing companion and the next thing you know you are on top of them doing the horizontal monster mash. If you are lucky you see a dating thread or two, but it normally just ends right there and the relationship continues behind the screens or is implied when characters are together in a thread. You don't see a lot of committed couples and only a quarter if that of IC relationships result In marriage and children. But even then it take five minutes to pop out five kids while maintaing this perfect figure. But I'm sorry I'm gonna be the bearer of bad news here. But life doesn't work like that, pregnancy often leads to permanent change to the body. I get you want to have kids IC and still look "beautiful" but it's my belief that instead of saying post pregnancy bodies are bad I think they should considered beautiful. I mean you just carried a person inside you for nine months that's pretty damn beautiful.
But again I'm getting off track, relationships can be hard in real life, I served in the military for a bit and when I was away from my lady for like 8 months it was pure hell. And with the amount of crap that goes here in terms of war it's likely you are going to be away from your love for a while. And not seeing that person you love for that long can be taxing. Yet again since we live in a world where ooc time supersedes IC they don't write their character missing that person that they love since they just talked to the other writer in a Skype chat. We don't measure IC time and if we did over 75% of these RP relationships would utterly crash and burn. But since we write in a world where everyone is beautiful and sex is always perfect we don't need to worry about it, right? This is where I say wrong, if you are in a IC relationship write the time away from that person, write more than a thread before you jump bones. Make it cute and happy, from high school sweethearts to gags and blindfolds make it work and put work into it. This is your funky fresh overlord giving you more food for thought.
Have fun and be human!
