Hold The Line

[Anastassia Giovanni]

HEY GUYS!

So here I am, and as you know I've been having some cluttered brain issues with VA and just feeling over swamped so I have gone through and made some decisions. I wrote out a long lengthy explanation for everything and then lost it since my internet was being such a douche last night so today I am just going to be quick about it. So, yeah, onto the main event.

DECISION ONE is probably the saddest thing I've had to do ever on V-side, even worse than giving up Charlie and Rose who you guys know I loved. But it's time to say good bye to Mark Wood. He's been dead for about a year now and the thing is, whenever I try to make him an open thread it's completely forced because he's got nothing keeping him in VA, initially he was staying for his kid but then Leah left and he has no reason to be here. Everytime I play him here, I feel like I've betrayed the character. So he's off to New York to go Pre Med in an amazing college before becoming an amazing doctor, re-connecting with Charlie and getting her healthy again and then my Wood's family will live happy lives off in the horizon. Another hard thing about this is my eternal love for Jensen Ackles. I love him. I LOVE him. So I will be requesting him, Gurms was face searching so I offered him to her, she has first pick should she want to use him. If she doesn't, I'll make an official Request. I love him too much and I want him to go to a literate person so we can plot it up. Him and Orion will be fun, whoever he ends up being.

DECISION TWO is that bringing Laura back will have to wait. I realized Laura is a witty, fun down to earth girl with issues getting close to people, and that so is Anya and So is Mary on some level. I've never liked having too many similar characters so, its being put off, possibly for good.

DECISION THREE is Amyra. I'm still making her. Her mind is in me so much recently I can't not make her. BUT there is a change. A face Change. I'm sorry. I know Lainey was excited to finally have a Jordana Brewster and everything but the thing about Jordana is, I only find her really gorgeous about half the time as well as she looks much older than how I want Amyra. Jordana's photoshoots were all gorgeous but her appearances kind of threw me off. I love Jordana, I do. I love some of her shoots because she was GUH gorgeous but from the day to day she was very pretty but not WOW to me which is something Amyra has to have for me. Amyra's supposed to look like someone who wouldn't be involved in the group she travels with. She's supposed to be very open with sexuality and performance. She has to be fun, frivolous, almost evilly gorgeous and then turn around and be sweet. She's got a lot of different sides so I need a girl with lots of different looks. And I have to tell you, it was hard to find her. Honestly the person who fit her perfectly was a cartoon, Esmeralda from Hunchback. But there is no human equivalent!! So I am settling although I think I am starting to really like her as Amyra because she looks soooo not the type. At first I was thinking JLowe but after looking through her gallery, it just didn't fit right. Then I looked at Minka Kelly and Danneel Harris and kind of love them both. I am undecided at the moment. I need opinions.

I think Minka is more the look in general but Danneel's spirit and everything fits more. So I want to know what you guys honestly think. RIght now, I am leaning towards Danneel, the spirit of the celeb's personality always tends to win over looks for me but at the same time... She's also a bit too American imaged. Minka is gorg and everything but her pics tend to be sweet or sexy and never seem to have the same fierce fun that Amyra needs. So I'm torn.

ALRIGHTY!! So Now I will list all my characters and their threads. I'm going to mark next to them whether I want to continue or if I'd rather stop because I haven't replied in so long it just feels so dead to me I don't see the point, or I think its getting the way of moving on with plots. If you disagree or really REALLY want to continue the thread, just tell me and I'll be fine with it.

[Magdelena "Maggie" Corinthos]

yay! i'm so glad you finally got this out there even though it has some very sad decisions in it. i understand where you're coming from. we all have character issues and you lightening your load sounds like the best for you. you know you always have my full support ever if we don't have any threads going as i read above xD.

DECISION ONE aw mark!! so sad that he's got to go but at least he's moving on to bigger and better things. he'll always have sarai's support (seeing as how they were supposed to be coworker buddies and we just never rped it) and she wishes him nothing but the best. besides i know how frustrating it was for you having him around and doing nothing with him. hopefully this will help squelch that frustration.

DECISION TWO understandable. having the same characters over and over again is kind of redundant. i already feel as though sarai and rowan are too alike, i just haven't made the move to do anything about it. well and dante and graham, but i haven't even got them off the ground yet so who knows where that's even going.

DECISION THREE jordana's a gorgeous girl, but i do think we all have that issue. i used to get that way on other sites where i would like a pb at first but then be all nahh and change. it always helps to be really into your pb. it just makes life easier and all that. so i'm with you on the j brewster front. she's gorgeous but if you're just not feeling her, then you shouldn't use her. on that note i think i have to say USE DANNEEL! i absolutely love that girl, but aside from my total girl!crush she's got the kind of spunk and attitude i could see in amyra. so a few things are tweaked here and there. my mexi kids aren't/don't even look mexican. xD. so my vote is for danneel. minka is adorable, i'll give her that, but i'm much more of a danneel fan. plus i do believe i have like 300 or so icons of her that i could give you. because i'm nice like that :].

THREAD STUFFS i'm fine with both tarai and may/sarai. i see where you're coming from and you're pretty much right. though i really don't think we should put a stop to tarai epicness. if you'd like we can start up a new thread with a little more meaning to it sometime soon, may too? i'm glad to be keeping the corens, i have a bit of an idea for something with j.r. and i'd love it to continue. maybe if donny can dig up a picture in that thread or something? idk.

all in all i'm just happy you've made some decisions. i know some of these things have been weighing on you for a bit and i hope this helps. :] mucho love hun.

[Shay Anderson]

well, first things - it's great that you managed to reach some decisions<3 like ruby, i know they've been floating around for awhile. sometimes things just have to be decided, and i'm glad you got to. i hope everything seems more managable for you now<3

DECISION ONE !

aw</3 well, i won't lie; i'm sad. mark was a great outsider, but i totally know where you're coming from. it just has to happen sometimes. it's too bad when characters sort of float off like that, but what can you do? i'm doing that to a flinger or two soon, as well, actually - so i know where you're coming from. epic that you're making sure jensen goes to a literate<3 he's too much droolness not to, really. and i'll be here to say that if gurms decides not to use him, i am. just sayin' (;

DECISION TWO !

poor laura - but yeah. i feel i suffer from that very syndrome. i'm just too weak to do a whole lot about it. character diversity is great, and all of the outsiders are so different. makes sense. if you decide not to bring her back, but still have muse, there's all the more muse for anya and mary :]

DECISION THREE !

jordana is gorgeous; but i do agree with you. sometimes, you need to feel a certain character is jaw dropping all the time. sometimes it doesn't matter, but i got that vibe from amyra. but ooooh, minka and danneel! now, that's damn impossible. both girls are so friggin gorgeous, it's unfair. danneel's got that spirit to her, a real firecracker vibe. but, from what i've seen, minka can have that, too. we need to mesh them together. but i agree, the vibe of a personality shouts louder than physical looks alone. damn, i can't decide xD i think i'll put my vote for danneel, too. she can look like a million different people. and hey, ruby's right, the 'look' doesn't always matter xD the connolly's really couldn't look less eastern european.

THREADS !

sometimes cleaning things out just makes for a fresh start :] makes me feel better, anyway. now...i've been fucking terrible with the andersons/standwoods</3 i'm really sorry. my muse has been shot to hell, and it's not doing much better these days. but hey, shay is epic enough i can probably get it back if i got off my lazy butt. i really have been a bug lately. it's terrible. BUT it is first on my agenda! that, and hater. i gotta start that soon, too.

this wasn't overly helpful, but i gave what i could. i'm glad you made your decisions<3

[finn]

i'm just going to jump into this.

decision one- it's sad to see mark go, though i never had the pleasure in plotting with him, i am sorry. but it is sad to get rid of a character you've had for a long time. i suck, and can't really think about what else to say for this.

decision two: laura would have been fun, but too many similar characters might kill the muse, so i get that too. i'm being blunt and short, so gah, i suck.

decision three: don't feel bad about jordana. on the numerous times i was tempted to make one, you're right. some shots, she's really really pretty. and some other shots, not so much. sometimes, i think she's much better like in movies. xD that sounds mean, but i guess i appreciate her beauty more when she's moving. so, i know you said you're leaning towards danneel (whom i love) i'm going to be unbiased, because yeah, i really want a minka on the site. danneel has a lot of pics with nora, and they are really good friends in rl, so somehow, we'll plot them if you choose, danneel. you watch ten inch hero? love that movie. if you're going after personalities, i definitely think danneel fits the bill. though i will admit, minka gives off the more.. exotic look i guess. but hey... i still think we should plot paolo and amyra, just because she would definitely loosen him up and he's been on edge for awhile now.

decision four: ok, i just saw the threads i should get on. haha

[Anne Lévesque]

decision one - awh anna, i'm so sorry. this actually breaks my heart as well.. we all got to know mark very well and he was such a badass throughout his time of you playing him. but i can understand where you're coming from.. sometimes the unfortunate thing is that we get our characters to rely too much on other characters and then it all just falls apart. i'll definitely miss him, just as much as my dead ronnie will, and he will never be forgotten <3

decision two - understandable.. i'm the same way. if i have a character that is too similiar to everyone else, i just want to blow my brains out. but if you do decide to bring her back, you know jason will always be waiting...

decision three - i honestly love danneel and minka both equally, i think they'd fit the tab as easily as the other. but i agree with you on the danneel part... if you're honestly looking for a girl with that kind of spirit, danneel is far more so than minka. minka does have the tendency to look too sweet in her pictures.. and of course in v-side we would see that as a bad thing.

gah! and once you catch up we're threading peco! <3
