        That moment you have that scene where you get them feels. It's so good the words just flow out of you.

        (P.S.-not a sex scene either)

          Running across a player that really enjoys running plots, ST'ing stories and driving RP. My shout out goes to Howell Davies of Fallcoast for this, who seems to have infinite patience as I fumble my way through the mechanics of cruac in scenes. Don't know if he lurks on these boards or not, but if you get a chance to play with him, pounce on it.

            This one exists at the weird intersection between games and RL, but it feels like it belongs here most.

            That moment you realize some actual person in your immediate surroundings is so <game system archetype/cliche> you have to try not to giggle a moment because you know you'd never be able to explain.

            In this vein, I'd like to apologize to the universe for the half-sneeze, half-gasp noise I made upon realing that the good-looking young fashionable/slightly edgy twenty-something doc has a WoD name that is such a WoD name my brain immediately went: "you really are just one peeking tribal tattoo away from being the kinfolk doctor in every 90s game ever, aren't you?" because that sound was in no way dignified.

            Oh fucking well.

                      Wow are you sure he wasn't kinfolk? I mean he could have had the tribal tattoo on his back to better protect the veil.

                        @ThatGuyThere I know, right?! I couldn't not chokesnort. Which one should not do in front of nice medical personnel who are already worrying over every possible noise your person is making at every hour of the day, but I could just... not not chokesnort.

                        Oh fucking well.

                          You engage in romantic involvement rp.

                          You discreetly indulge in shippy enjoyment, eyeballing pictures, gifs, music that reminds you of the pairing, but stay quiet about it because you don't want your cool rp buddy to find out how weird you are and possibly find you stalkery or obsessive...

                          And then you find out they are just as loony as you are about the whole thing. YAY!

                            @Cupcake That's a good feeling. There's nothing more fun than doing ship RP with someone who is just as engaged as you are when nobody is a creeper.

                              Sometimes when you're new to a character, your character will 'click' with someone... but you sorta missed the boat on any possible IC relationship. But the RP around that can still be good.

                              Like two chars that you established have been friends for a while. And she (your char) works on convincing him that he should 'try dating again,' with the secret hope that he'll ask her.

                              And then they're chatting and he starts telling her how he's going to ask out someone else. She eventually sheepishly admits that she'd been hoping he'd ask her (and he admits that he had sorta considered it, but wasn't sure)...

                              ... and it was a good enough scene that in the end, I'm good with whatever outcome. Like there was no OOC weirdness or anything. Just that sort of realistic / interesting dynamic that (IMO) gives depth to PCs and can lead to good things down the road. Will they be awkward around each other? How will it affect the friendship moving forward? Will he ask out the other girl and if so... what if she finds out that my char has/had an interest in him?

                              Lots of potential for dynamic RP. I am pleased.

                              Saying the quiet parts out loud since 1996.

                                I RPed a relationship with someone who would link me Hozier songs out of the blue reflecting our characters' situations.

                                It was adorbs and made me feel so much better about having a few romance-specific songs in my character's playlist.

                                  Well yeah, I mean, Hozier.

                                  ...I could probably make an entire playlist based around my characters' romances.
