My problems being an unwilling character
8 years ago
Psst, a TLDR section is at the bottom....
First of all this is not a journal of rant or calling someone out for doing something I disagree with, it's about things I have experienced 'because' I don't like willing vores/smushes and other such things and only like unwilling (or fake unwilling where they genuinely pretend to dislike it).
I am an unwilling prey/sub, and when being dom/pred I only enjoy the unwilling.
One big thing is that whilst I only like unwilling, it means the character is unwilling, not the other party involved. If the other party doesn't like something then I won't do it, plain and simple. However if they like/want it but their character doesn't, then I'm gonna do it. I'm talking unwilling character, not unwilling party I am RP'ing with.
I don't mind willing vore art, though not my preference, if the scenario is good/funny and the art is good then I still enjoy it. Because I like the art though it doesn't mean I want to RP it. So no I don't entirely HATE willing vore and such, it's just something I don't enjoy RP'ing or want to. Just like how there's other things I don't want to RP such as NSFW, digestion and (Won't list all my dislikes), and same way you may not like to RP vore or be a pred because you only like being prey.... why can't I only like unwilling? Asking me to do willing vore would be like asking me to do a sex RP... it just isn't going to happen I'm afraid.
Countless times I have people going "You'd like it if you try it" or "You can at least do willing once" .... I have tried it, I didn't like it, found it boring super quickly. Whilst that could easily be a bad RP partner, I've never found the scenario or act of the vore fun during it. If I followed that rule to try willing vore despite how I don't like it, then someone else could say the same about NSFW and say "You'd like it if you try it" whereas I know I don't. So many saying I'm not giving it a chance or that I'm being selfish, and yeah while it is selfish, so is asking me to pander to your needs and change what I like and my character design just to please you too.
Other people have straight up ignored or even deleted me as soon as I mention I don't like willing vore (which corresponds with my last point, everyone says I should be willing but as soon as I say I'm not, they won't give unwilling a chance for the same reason I say I won't give willing another chance; they don't find it fun or don't know how to do it).
I know unwilling vore can be mean, it's "I don't want to be ate" *eats anyway* kind of thing, but it's a character, it's not me. You want me to actually stop, say so out of character (and make it obvious, it can be hard to tell sometimes). I try to give hints such as saying "naht" when an action is fine but say "not" when as a player I dislike it. Best I can say is for others to please realise that I'm only playing a character and don't judge me as a person because I play a mean character.
I know unwilling can be confusing, player unaware when the character is being unwilling but the RP is enjoyed, or the player actually doesn't want it done. It's an uneasy feeling not knowing whether what you're doing is enjoyable as the character reaction displays the opposite. It's not easy.
Being unwilling only, I'm definitely an "I gotta be in the mood to RP with him" person, thus ignored quite often or flat out told "not in an unwilling mood" . Which I have to say is perfectly reasonable, I have moods too where I don't want to be pred so when someone comes up to me with their unwilling char prey, I sometimes say I'm not in a pred mood. Only after writing this I realise this whole section here is a bit of a moot point.
I also realise that as unwilling only, someone will come up to me as a pred, I put on an unwilling act, and they suddenly turn to prey instead thinking my unwilling act is genuine thus I must want to be the pred instead. Reading an unwilling character can be confusing and isn't the clearest. Believe me though, if I didn't like something, [I would say it like this in brackets]. Please don't change what you were doing because my character was unwilling towards what was going on.
Other things too like how unwilling forces only some kinds of situations and loses others that only willing can achieve, or that unwilling means that I hate your character for trying (which is totally not true), but this journal is already too long.
TLDR;
1. I'm unwilling prey, pred that only noms unwilling. My character nature and what I like so please don't ask me to change it and be willing which is something I don't like.
2. Character is unwilling, not the player. Has to be same for partner too (I don't want to do things you actually don't like).
3. I am not a bad person or mean myself, again it's to play character.
4. Unwilling is confusing but say out of character it isn't liked and I will stop.
5. I know I'm basically saying "Be unwilling or we can't RP" but just how everyone won't do things they don't enjoy, this is the same for me with this.
6. Unwilling isn't the easiest to work with for both parties, I know this.
7. If I say "Naht" it means you can do it, if I say "Not" then it means I as the player dislike it.

FA+

It can be confusing at times, especially since I double as a pred who prefers the unwilling, and as a generally considerate individual. BUt unwilling vorish scenarios are always more satisfying in the end. Its just far more interesting with so many more variables and potential outcomes than a willing scenario where its just either "I love being eaten. NOM ME PLEASE!" or "Oh dear. I've been nommed. Whatever shall I do? <3".
I RP both for the sake of being a bit more open and because willing, while not AS fun as unwilling, is still at least a little satisfying. I mean, a pred can't argue with a full tum.
But hey man, to each their own and people are wrong for wanting to make you do something you dislike. Letting characters be themselves is always my preferred way to RP.
Oh and I'm so sorry I haven't talked to you in ages bud, I've just been going through alot lately.
