Is about three months considered to be really slow in RP relationships or something?

Because while I lol in chat about how slow we're taking things in the relationship, I can't help but wonder if people expect everything to happen within a month or something. Three months really isn't that long, imo, especially considering the setbacks we've had, and the fact that both characters are failing failures. And they're both guys, which is like an automatic +10 to miscommunication.

To be honest, I don't follow pairings in RPs because I feel a little pressured to rush into things watching them and hearing about them. Granted, many involve characters who aren't the cautious type, so yeah, rushed makes sense. But I find the jump to sex in RPs (and fic) a little unsettling when I browse around. Maybe it's just the ones I see and hear about (which tend to be the higher profile ones). But I feel kind of like, one moment I hear they're sorta going out-ish, and then the next thing I hear, they fucked and then I'm like wait what just happened there. Maybe I'm not paying enough attention to what's going on?

Come to think of it, what happened to the RP's first ship? I haven't heard much about it lately.

I dunno it kind of feels like sex is the ultimate goal for all romantic relationships in RP. Hell, I have no idea how sex would come up for our ship. I don't think it's really big on both sides' minds ICly anyway; they're too busy trying not to fail. Or get cockblocked. It's not like it'll move much faster anyway, even if you locked them in a closet together.

IDK there was meant to be more content and coherency, but I'm too whut right now.

I'm not giving you a massive response. Well, hopefully I'm not.

Relationships in RPs depend, for me. If they don't have prior history with one another, I like taking forever. It's development. Development is amazing. ~~Some people don't seem to realize that, jeez.~~

It's fun to see the characters go through the roller coaster ride. And even when they do hook up, and all that shit, it's fun to cause more chaos for them. 8D

But Snow, I loev massive responses ):

I love watching development ♥ But for some reason, once a relationship reaches a certain point, my interest levels tend to drop. Or rather, when the character dynamics aren't interesting to me anymore, I stop paying attention? Maybe that's the reason for my disinterest in most romance o Aoa Sleepy response is sleepy |D

Also, Joshua is losing his battle with Ness' kitten for Ness' affections ; w;

Yeah I can understand that. I mean, rly. Sometimes the tension and awkward when getting into a relationship helps boost the interesting levels. But I still manage to stay hooked, b'aw.

I'm supposed to be asleep too ):

I think it's the incredible amounts of fail that do it for me xD Almost all the relationships I love reading have hueg amounts of it xD I think the ones that interest me most are those that manage to hit more than one emotional note in me. So I can ♥ the fluff, bawww at TRAGEDY etc. etc.Probably not by me, sadly ): I must find some other way to top you

W-well we only JUST finished their fail!date (http://community.livejournal.com/theskytides/119784.html), sooo |D

SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK. /works on Nill app before grandma wakes up.

Mmm fail. I love fail. And the emotional notes. I think that's why I love the extreme contrast pairings (ie: YamaGoku). They fail constantly, epically, even, and then there's the fluff, tragedy, YELLING, etc. |D ♥

... hahahaha fail!date.
