So, I'm just going to post this and hope it'll end the constant freaked out state I've been in since Friday night. This should really go in a Chicken Soup sort of post, but I'm always completely fine when those go up and have massive issues a few weeks later, so I guess I'll put it here because there's no way I can be this stressed for a few months until the next post goes up.
When the CR meme came along a week or two ago, I didn't comment and figured I'd wait until after apps and put one in my brand new character's journal since I was so excited at the prospect of playing him! But then apps happened and things did not go nearly as well as I planned and I'm now feeling very unsure. This is why I haven't really revealed, so I guess this is also me officially admitting that I have a third character now and hoping someone's excited to play with him. Of course you are more than welcome to request CR with the other two! I just want to play with people!
Vanya is a preteen not!superhero with so, so many issues. She's working on said issues, but usually in a pretty convoluted way that means she backslides a lot! She is quite possibly the easiest person in the world to find CR for because she works well with so many different kinds of characters, though she her constant worrying and insecurities can be extremely frustrating for some types! The real issue with getting new CR for Vanya is that she has so much I feel bad tagging new people with her because I don't want to seem greedy or anything. This is probably a strange thing to worry about! So, if you want one of your character to have CR with Vanya and they don't, let me know! I will be more than happy to bother you with her!
Jasper is a rather serious and reserved sparklepire! Threading with Jasper almost always also leads to threading with Alice (or more likely the other way around) since they are pretty much attached at the hip. He's a newer vegetarian so he's still kind of wary on the whole hanging out with people thing. He's also just quiet in general, which does not help him form relationships and he doesn't usually thread well with other quiet characters. He's also an empath, which creates all sorts of OOC issues for me when threading with him. Jasper knows your characters' emotions! It's not something he can turn off and I know how annoying of an ability it is! There's the added issue that I don't usually know your characters' emotions even though Jasper does. If you're ever threading with Jasper I might ask for an emotional read on your character. I apologize in advance! He's also from Twilight, which deserves another apology. If after all that you still want to thread with Jasper, I will happily thread with you! I've been getting better at building his CR, but I know it still needs a lot of work.
And now for my new character:
Cinna is a calm, cool and collected stylist from a strange dystopian world where teenagers fight to the death each year! He's also just plain awesome and a bit crazy and so insanely competent, it's not even funny. If your character wants a stylist in their life- or even if they don't and you just want them to have one- I now have the perfect character for you! He's also really different from anyone I've ever played before, and at this point I am absolutely terrified to be playing him.
The Hunger Games basically ate my life over winter break, and I decided I had to app from it! And I pretty quickly realized I had to app Cinna even though I knew he was going to be really hard to app because his voice is extremely understated and I also told myself that I'd never app a counselor because it terrified me. Despite my best efforts, his app did not go nearly as well as I thought it would and I am now afraid to tag people with him (or any of my characters) because I don't want to subject anyone to him (or them) if they would rather not play with me. I know this is completely ridiculous, but it's just how it is right now. Also, thank you everyone for the crit! I am going to desperately try to fix those issues as best I can. I promise I will do better from now on!
If you want to play with Cinna please let me know, and I will try to make it happen! He is an amazing character and deserves someone that will do him justice and I'm really hoping I'm able to play him to his full potential. He was almost dropped immediately, but I want to give it a try because hopefully it was just a disconnect with his app and I can play him... once I decide on a journal name, PB, and icons (I am second guessing every decision I make with him right now, so his journal status is still up in the air, but eventually he will have one!).
And for anyone that doesn't want to read about my current line-up stress, the point of this post is basically if you have a character you want to play with Vanya, Jasper and/or Cinna that would be awesome and amazing! Comment and I will make sure that threading happens! Every thread I've ever had at Camp has been so much fun and I want to continue having fun with all of you if you'll still have me!

AS FOR THE CR, I would love for you to jump me ALL THE TIME with any of your characters. I love threading Chigusa off Vanya and I think a few others of mine would be pretty cool with her, like, Hijikata or even this new guy. I would also love to play with Jasper! I've made it a personal goal for Himawari to meet every vampire in camp, so I would definitely be up for them threading and you can ask me all the emotional questions because she is like a roller coaster. And also Hijikata because he is a shinsenpire. AND EVERYONE ELSE. And I was at work for most of the time while apps were up, so I didn't read a lot of them, but I say jump me with Cinna. JUST DO IT. I WILL LOVE IT. ALWAYS. ♥
no subject
I love threading with Chigusa and Vanya so much, so I will definitely continue that and throw her at a few more of yours. She works well with a surprising number of people, so I'm positive there's someone else in your line-up she'll work well with! And I will definitely tag Himawari with Jasper! I know people like to meet all the Camp vampires and I feel bad that Jasper's one of the harder ones to meet since he's really exhausting to maintain a whole post with so it's more random tagging with him, but now that I know I will look out for her and make sure it happens! And that just more threading between our characters in general happens! ♥ ♥!

Also, yes, don't worry about your percentage! I understand the feeling, I've had some low successful percentages before and I know it can leave you feeling gun-shy, but from experience, it really has nothing to do with whether or not people want to play with you. ♥ You got in, that's what counts. One of my lowest percentages was the character I held on to the longest, who had the most CR and the deepest relationships.

The worrying is already decreasing exponentially, so I should be fine once I actually start playing him!

AS FOR CR, you know I always love threading with Vanya. and thank you for putting up with me being ridiculously slow these past few months! I'd love to play with your others as well! I have Iwasawa (quiet musician girl), Jeff (a douchebag with some semblence of a heart deep, deep, deep down inside), and Snake (a blind smartass). Let's make magic.
no subject
I would gladly play with any of yours! I've been meaning to throw Jasper at Jesse since Parker's mentioned him before, but I usually end up throwing Vanya at him instead, but I'll make it happen eventually. Cinna might end up threading well with Iwasawa, but I may just throw him at a couple of yours and see what works best. ♥!
no subject
Also Hanna and Jasper together would be awesome! Let's make this happen!!

And thank you so, so much for the crit! It was really helpful and I will definitely make sure his voice is more clear in the future, as understated as it is. I am never upset that people vote me out because they always have really good reasons for doing so and I know it's not because they don't want to play with me personally! I just end up upset with myself that I wrote an app that had to get outvotes because I want to do well and live up to the standard of the community, and I end up feeling like I no longer deserve to play with anyone whether they voted for the original app or not. My low app percentage is totally my fault and it's definitely not the individual outvotes that have me worried! I'm just worried about my own ability and fear of getting him out at this point, but I'll get over it eventually!

As for CR ... hm. How would Jasper like to meet some emotionally damaged people! I seem to have collected them. I'm not sure how.
Also god, Aurica needs a stylist. (Also the others would just be fun to work with)
no subject
Jasper will gladly meet any of your emotionally damaged people! And I can offer Cinna as a stylist to any of yours that need one or not! Let's thread! ♥

And you were trying to pull off something fairly difficult in an app, because Cinna is such an understated character whose passion shows in what he creates rather than what he says, and that's a bitch and a half to show in a monologue where you're also trying to get his verbal voice down. You did well at it, I thought! Just, well. It's an inherently difficult way to app, especially when what he creates is a visual art, and apps that are difficult like that usually get a lower score because they're harder to pull off well than someone who monologues constantly.
...I HAVE NO IDEA IF I AM HELPFUL OR NOT. Srsly, I thought your app was fine, I think you'll do a fine job of playing him, and I enjoy our threads when we thread?
no subject
And I enjoy threading with you, too. Cinna would find Rika absolutely adorable- they should definitely thread at some point!
no subject
I was in and out all weekend and only voted on like half of the rounds and I don't recall if Cinna's was one of them, but if you got in it means you got in! I think you play the characters you have SPLENDIDLY and have the utmost faith that you'll do Cinna justice as well. Feel free to throw him at me as you will!

And I'm so glad you'll play with him! I'm super excited to have him in my lineup and will definitely be tagging around with him a ton once he's settled!

I also offer up projectrunjay as a Cinna journal name, but that is just me.
no subject
... and that is the most perfect username ever, wow. I have been struggling with thinking of a username from before he got in, and that's awesome! I will be stealing it if that's okay with you!

Cinna can talk shop with the fairy tale fashionista?

I would be happy to throw either of mine at any of yours whenever!

As for the app, all I can really offer is sympathy - I was horribly nervous about reapping Minako after she failed out and even after she got in, I've been nervous about playing her because I worry about her voice constantly. But I also think some characters are just harder to capture in an app; it sounds like that's the case with Cinna, at least. That doesn't mean you won't be able to play him in camp (and yes, I know I should follow my own advice here). I think you'll do fine, really.

If you're worried about whatever canon he's from keeping you from getting CR- don't! We once had a Corinthian from Sandman who ate eyes and such and he had CR. People will play with youuuuuu.

Also, I love playing with you. (I'M SORRY JADE IS SO UNPLEASANT) and think probably David would get along with either Jasper or Cinna. Estelle would probably like Jasper a lot, too :3

I abstained on the Hunger Games apps, so I didn't even read them (because I'm reading canon and didn't want to get spoiled :|b) But I know I'd be delighted to play with you, as always ♥
