So Seb/Margarita might be real. They're in Italy together right now. They've made no formal announcements but they don't seem to be trying to hide it either.
Although I was so comfortable with the idea of Seb and Jen. Most people were in terms of how to they might work in a game. You could take any two good Seb and Jen players and put them in a game together and they'd know how to interact but I feel as though people aren't as sure of Margarita. Not that this matters if you're comfortable with her.
Maybe Margarita in one verse, Jen in the other. Our own 'verse, we can suddenly change anything we feel like changing, the Est is a little more - we should be clear before going through the trouble to make up profiles and talk to mods and all of that.
I am comfortable with them, but I'd also be interested in semi-reflecting reality also. True. I'd probably have to try her before taking her somewhere but I would be.
Maybe, or wait a little longer to finalise which lady to go with in the Est (I actually did a little work on Frank's profile this weekend!) until we know something about where the whole thing is?
Though I agree on being clear - though we were fairly clear on Ian at least as far as playing went (the dithering about Gwen was not really related to that) and that didn't prevent a change happening.
Oh and before I forget - more extreme than I see things with Seb, but there's an interesting femdom tumblr called Superior Women with some amazing pics I came across during an image search on the weekend. If you don't already know it.
There really are, and yes that is the right one :)
You know, sometimes, I just think, what about throwing aside the RL relationship and just going for a co-star - not necessarily a recent or MCU one, just a co-star in general. Pictures like that one of Scarlett make me think that even more ;)
I think that first came up for me when the Jen break-up was confirmed, and I was like... well, that means we wouldn't have to stick with RL, necessarily, doesn't it? and I started considering other optison. Not necessarily to the point of wanting to use them, but being open to the idea, you know?
We could do something where we go with the original "Jen broke up with him so they could decide if they wanted to formalize things" and go with Scarlett instead, only se's also been pregnant the whole time, maybe not realizing it until she tried to move on.
I'm hesitant to just transplant one character into a story over another - Frank's story is different to Ian's, for example, and it's not related to their ages so much as their personalities as I see them - but I could see something similar, maybe? Or Scarlett happened after Jen - which I think works timeline wise - but it was because she didn't want to be Seb's rebound? Also I think Scarlett might know a little about kink somehow.
Though the more I think on it, I really feel like Jen has to be in one version. The thing is, unless there's a really compelling reason, I kind of feel like for the Est, the endgame pairings will be basically permanent, until we decide to retire the storyline as a whole or if the muse completely leaves either of us (and I've never had the second one happen to me personally). So picking Seb's partner for the Est feels more serious, because it is a long term commitment to that line. But with Jen there's just so many connections, it almost feels easier for her to be the one - she's worked with Frank and Di, there's no reason for her and Seb not to be able to get back together in fictional circumstances (and honestly, as long as things with Margarita are ambiguous no real reason it couldn't happen in reality either). I mean, in theory, we could write out the line with Seb and Jen and way in the future if I can get my other pups working well enough for a sixth pup, I could bring in Margarita or whoever he's with by that time if it isn't Margarita but it just feels like... we're deciding this version of Seb's life, in a way. I want it to feel right. Frank absolutely feels right. Jen does, but there's the RL stuff. Margarita feels as right in a different way and so does Scarlett. I could even imagine making it work with Dianna, or Leighton. Oh. Oh! None of the girls have quite clicked like Frank has. Yet. One of them could - Ian did after I'd thought about him a lot and honestly if Frank hadn't come along he'd still feel right in the way he did. But yeah. When Jen and Seb split, that's when it started feeling weird. The thing is, in the Est of all places, RL relationships aren't exactly held to. How many guys are played gay and not with their RL wives? How many pairings in the het ones are actually because of co-star chemistry? I mean, I have Burn Gorman and he's married in RL but not in the Est and if he ever is it won't be to his wife, who isn't a celeb - he was originally married to a co-star but the mun left and I clean slated him. Zach's never been with Jon, and he isn't with Miles Teller right now. So I was wondering why it felt so much more... important with Seb and I figured, it's because of the deciding his whole life thing for some reason.
I think.
Also I have a new computer, yay!

For one thing, you have to come up with a whole profile and get it mod approved and make a journal. That's a lot of work for something you're not sure of. We've both already written Jen, which helps a lot, makes things faster and smoother.

Weird. Yes. That's it. ANd trying to keep up with RL relationships can be a path to frustration and insanity. We should stay with what works for us, not change our story every time things in RL change. If Margarita works out in the long run in RL, that'll be different. And Scarlett would probably be really welcome in the game. But for now... Jen is still my #1 choice.
Yes, exactly. Even though bare bones profiles aren't too difficult, it still seems to kind of feel serious for the Est. That is true.
It still does feel a little weird. I almost do feel like it'd be easier to go completely non canon with the in game relationships (not including Di as that's backstory) and just ignore canon pretty much completely, but yeah, changing because of RL is not a good idea. Of course, that's almost what people do on IJ half the time, which seems insane to me as an RPing strategy in the first place. But on the other hand, I'm not sure I've ever gone quite so deliberately left turn on an RL relationship status, hence the feeling weird, I think. It's one thing to ignore a relationship, or include an ongoing RL one, or write long broken up people together (now I wonder if people still ship Scarlett and Ryan Reynolds), but for some reason, keeping a broken up relationship where the break up happened during planning - and it's definitely that part, the durking planning - feels weirder. It's strange, really.
which seems insane to me as an RPing strategy in the first place.
Me too. Unless your celebs are married and have been for awhile, there's always a chance they'll suddenly break up and just...it's easier to pick the pairing you enjoy writing the most. It does feel weird, especially since he and Margarita seem to be doing well but... I don't know. Maybe we shold do the rest and think about this more. Still in favor of Jen though because we've both written her already.
I just don't know how the IJ people handle it - I mean, I know some just pick a ship and stick with it in the comm they're in anyway, and there are plenty of non canon pairings going on but still. That's it, and even if they have been married for a while it's no guarantee that they'll stay that way - I've seen quite a few celebrity marriages in general that I honestly thought were exceptions that didn't turn out to last over the years - not that a lot of them didn't last ages for being a celebrity marriage. That does make the most sense. It is just a feeling of weirdness, maybe the weirdness itself will eventually pass, too, and I wouldn't be surprised if it did, because I'm thinking it might be a case of the timing of the break up more than anything else. That's an idea, working on the rest, though. Which we can do - well, after Christmas/New Year at least because busy for everyone time. I do agree on Jen, and I don't honestly have a preference for anyone, not even Margarita, so that's also something to think about. I'm still settled on Frank at least.
I definitely would like to, yes. I'd do it before if there were any chance of me having much actual writing time, but not really. I'd also be interested in trying to start up Seven Months as well while there's some time to do it. Also for something potentially Seven Months related or just a one off somewhere, Seb is in a movie with Meryl Streep.
I think so. And who knows, maybe something will end up really clicking in general with a woman we haven't even thought of yet - many stranger things have happened - look at Frank for the obvious example of "would never have thought of him when we started discussing".
Speaking of Frank and for possible other things - he was in a movie with Liam Neeson.
Yeah, me too. It's like a romantic comedy with two people who spend the whole story not realizing they're supposed to be with each other as they go through relationship after relationship.
