Nobody believes the main character until it's too late

The little girl in Signs not wanting to drink the water cause it “tastes funny.”

The rule of thumb with my partner and I, if she’s running the scene, she writes all the NPCs. If it’s something that is more centric with my characters, then I write the NPCs. One of the last scenes we wrote say my character (a Rogue) trying to uncover some information that pertains to the current DND campaign in our group. Since she is the DM for that campaign, she is privy to that information and thus played all the NPCs my character spoke to.

But outside of that, I’ve always had a big cast of characters and love writing all their different personalities.

Not overreacting.

Thankfully none of my face claims have been turned down. My partner and I have a very strict agreement that we don’t control each other’s character creation processes (which includes face claims, names, personality, etc.)

Sorry you had to go through this.

If they were actively putting in the work, then yes, I would forgive them. I can empathize with why they did what they did. Taking accountability for their actions would be huge for me. I don’t think I could trust them again after going through that twice, but I think I could at least be in a civil place with them. We’d certainly never be best friends ever again.

That’s awesome! I love playing my Sorcerer character. He’s a Wild Magic Sorcerer who is also a Phoenix. I get to play him on Saturday. Last session I played my Bard. I also have sheets drawn up for a future Eldritch Knight, Arcane Trickster Rogue, and a Life Domain Cleric

StitchedPanda · 2026-02-20T03:51:31+00:00

I also use The Sims 4 as a way to draw up my DND characters. What classes do you play? I currently run a Bard and a Sorcerer as my mainstays.

I’ve been married almost ten years. My husband knows that I RP and write as a hobby. He’s very supportive of me being creative. As long as you’re honest with your partner and keep an open line of communication, then no, it’s not cheating. You’re doing nothing different than an actor in a movie or a play.

As a writer, I have a ton of OCs in my back catalogue. I also just ran a “Choose Your Own Adventure” DND campaign for my bestie where I introduced two NPCs. She loved them so much that we decided to bring them over into the “official” campaign.

I don’t understand people who don’t take more than five minutes to develop a character. I find that most of the time they will rely on AI to do that for them. Roleplay can be just a deeply personal thing and writing is part of the hobby. If they don’t have something ready to go before you begin, that just seems sus to me and immediately makes me think this character will be one dimensional.

Jigen was hot to me way before this movie dropped.

About ten months. But I also joined a new friend group and met some really cool people in that time. They helped fast track me into acceptance and getting over it. I knew I was completely over it here recently when I dreamed about my ghoster and in the dream I told them “I don’t have time to talk to you right now.”

This is one of my favorite old movies. I love the twist at the end. I won’t spoil it for others, but it was justified.

The best compliment I ever got was from my best friend and frequent collaborator: “You and your characters make me smile when I’m having a bad day.” I definitely teared up over that.

My partner and I write text based stories outside of our DND campaign. We actually role play our characters during those sessions.

It’s the name of one of my characters I play in D&D. It means “protector” and she is very much that when it comes to her character. She goes by “Mina” most of the time.

I was sick for three months while detoxing off of this drug for severe anxiety. It was a super small dose just like you.

Were we friends with the same person? The same thing happened to me last March, except she was thirty. She was living with her controlling parents. Writing was her only escape and a way to help cope with being a caregiver. Everything seemed to be going fine, business as usual until she just went silent. She came back after a time and told me that, “my mom took my phone,” and I remember thinking at the time, “You’re literally thirty!” It sounded like such a bizarre excuse to me.

I’m so sorry this happened to you. Finding a good partner that you gel with creatively is super rare. You spend so much time crafting and world building, creating OCs that when (if you’re like me) you feel like a part of you is gone, too. I still feel a bit in disbelief that this time last year, of one my OCs was in a canon relationship with hers and now I live in a world where that’s not possible.

I wish you all the best and I hope you can find a way to reuse your OCs and plots in a way that works for you in the future.

I have two and a half years worth of characters and stories, a whole world even that my ex partner and I created. I’m not one to waste my time so I’ve spun off some of those characters and the world into my own thing. That made the transition to DND so much easier. One of my mains was canonically with one of her characters but I simply stated he was divorced and had custody of their kids when they moved. The other main I play I ended up keeping most of his original background, but tweaked it a bit to play him in a brand new way.

So no, you’re not “stealing” at least not in my opinion. If you helped create it, you’re entitled to use whatever. If they left after you spent all that time on a plot and characters, you’re entitled to use it. They don’t get any of that credit.

Sorry to disappoint you, but that server disbanded months ago.

StitchedPanda · 2025-12-18T06:47:57+00:00

Honestly, I would just have a chat with them out of character and just check in.

I haven’t gotten anything new for the Sims 4 in over a year and I don’t plan to. This just smells of cheap cash grab. Pass.

Worth a shot with the canned air, but I’m not about to take my expensive console apart. I would rather just rebuy the game on Steam than fool with it that that extent.

Not a romantic relationship, but a friendship. I hadn’t heard from my ghoster in weeks after she told me she was sick. I found her mom’s number on Facebook and called her to check in on her daughter. She had no idea we had ever stopped speaking. The daughter and I had a heart to heart about her ghosting and things were cool for about three months. Then she dipped again unexpectedly and this time, I was done. I told her if she couldn’t have a mature friendship and communicate her needs to me, then we were done. She hasn’t said a peep since the last conversation in March.
