oh, btw, I think it's time to close the event
I'm reopening the chatroom and we're back in the dorm
but I'll leave the event rooms up for about a day or so you can move over your threads if you want to
ah, the idea would be to not have OT7 or OTx anymore if I open it up. people could form their own poly groups or mono couples as they decide. but, yeah, first let's see if as an ot7 we can bring this back
we should try working it in with just us first I think because having more people means having to track down the rest of them too.
so it'll be a lot harder to do a poly where people don't get jealous because there are more people that needs attention.
Therefore let's say someone has 1hour to play, that 1 hour is split into 19 people instead of the 6
The more I think about it, the less I like the idea of opening it to a lot of people, but the idea of adding another band like SVT makes more sense to me. In the end, though, if we can revive our little Monsta X family, I would love that, and I'm willing to make the effort to do this.
I just woke up (I was at my friend's house until 5am) so forgive me if this doesn't sound 1000% coherent.
I, like Joo, have consistently tried to talk to every single person. I might pop in and out and not get to just chat as often as I'd like because of working 40 hours a week while also having a month mental health-wise that makes it that much harder to come online. But I still try. If I pop into the chat and see people, I say hello and try to chat. And if anyone ever wanted to seriously rp, my pms are always open to plot, plus you can always just randomly @ me (yes, I am saying to @ me, bro /shot)
I'm sorry that you joined when activity lowered, Min, and that you feel left out. I'm here if you ever want to chat or plot or wing or whatever. I may be slow, but I'm here.
As far as opening it up to other people.... i.... don't know?? I'm not sure how I feel about it but I guess if you were to, doing it with groups mx is close with like SVT and Got7. But I do like our small little family
‘Kay imma list stuff in bullet points just to arrange my thoughts:
- primarily, I personally feel a little conflicted. I usually hate non-aus, because the.. uh, “limits” of reality kinda makes me lose muse pretty quick. On the other hand, I love this place because I feel super chill and able to talk to everyone without worrying about being awkward. It’s hard for me to keep muse for non-au’s but I’ve really been trying for this one, so I apologize to anyone who may have misinterpreted my lack of response as disinterest in continuing the conversation; that’s just me struggling to find my sense of direction again. I’m much more comfortable if I have a general sense of plot/storyline so, yeah, sorry.
- I’m lowwwwkey kinda sick of the whole JooKyun thing issue. Or a cause for distance, caution, restraint?? They’re not “exclusive”, just more partial towards each other /at the moment/. That’s not to say it won’t/can’t change. But how will it if people keep treating them differently, or holding them at a bit of a distance? (Granted this is more in the past buuuuut I feel like it’s still something that ades; I may be wrong, just saying.) I just want people to feel comfortable around JooKyun, and not immediately assume that JooKyun should be given their space once we’re both online. Yes, I’d like Joo to spend time with Kyun, but that doesn’t mean Joo doesn’t want to spend time with the others. Now I don’t know if I’m wrong and misinterpreting the atmosphere, but these are my thoughts and I’m just putting it out there.
- I’ve tried a lot to interact with everyone. This I’m 100% sure of. Unfortunately, like I explained, I do loss muse at times, but I’m also easily distracted and probably a little unreliable in terms of my replies. Now, I understand that it might get frustrating to deal with but that doesn’t mean I haven’t constantly reached out to try interacting with everyone. After a while, I admit, it gets a bit tiring, especially when I’m busy (which is going to happen very soon (like Monday soon) as I’m starting up classes again). I might be on and off, but I’m willing to give it a shot.
- Personally to Minhyuk: I’m sorry you had to join when the activity is kind of low. :( These people are pretty fun, really. There’s just been some potholes in the road and I hope we can all move past that and emerge stronger than ever.
- In terms of opening it up to the public, I don’t know. I kinda liked that this was a close-knit group, but also I think that maybe having more people to interact with would help. Maybe we could do like a group collab? Like MX and SVT (or some other group) only or something? I don’t know much about MX but I see they take pics with other groups sometimes. Either way, I’m down to try.
- In terms of the poly thing, some of it might be a rehash from my previous point but I’ll say it anyways: Joo is open to trying things with the others. Things with Kyun are a little blurry when it comes to things past the romantic feelings stage, but at least for Joo personally, he’s open to try. I just don’t want people assuming that he’s off limits or whatever, because that isn’t how it is, at least from his side. If y’all want, JooKyun can have a discussion about their boundaries again but other than that I don’t know what else to do.
Uhhh I don’t think I’m missing anything but if I do remember what I wanted to mention I’ll let y’all know.
I hope you don’t hate me or anything u n u If you do it’s totally understandable lol. But yeah, I’m just unreliable with my partners and lose muse quickly for au’s. I’ll try harder, but also if y’all think I’m hogging up the space and not putting in too much effort I totally get that! Personally, I’ve been thinking of leaving because I realize I’ve not been the best here and I don’t want others to suffer from it but hnngghhh I like y’all. ;;
I guess my biggest thing is that the relationships here are a little misleading. Until my discussion with Hyungwon ooc, I wasn’t aware that there were exclusive couples here that preferred to only “hook up” with other people. Now that I know, it’s obvious, but as a newcomer it just felt very ambiguous I guess. As someone who’s poly ooc, I was really looking forward to this rp style type because I thought it was going to be a community similar to myself, but that’s just not the case. And in no way am I saying that you can’t be monogamous, but I feel as if the poly part of this rp is false advertisement in a way. It’s misleading to anyone who may want to join, so before opening to the public, I’d really look into how you advertise the rp.
I think when I first got here, I thought I could be open about poly, but initially I didn't react well to it. Now, after having been here awhile, I feel much more comfortable, but by the time I did, the place was getting slower, I got busy myself, and I couldn't be here as often. This place really felt like a home to me at one point, and if opening it up to others would help revive it, I'd be happy to try that. I think people need to be made to feel welcome whether they're open to poly or not, and I think we all, including myself, need to work on making sure no one feels like they are being attacked or judged for the relationships that they have.
you have a fair point, Min, and thank you so much for being honest and bringing it up! I'm sorry you ended up disappointed. but now you've made me think and I have an idea, I'll get to it by the end!
so even before you came, we've been finding that several of us were struggling with jealousy. as much as we were all curious about poly, it's maybe not for everyone, and I think it's healthy to acknowledge that. I also do not want to tell people "you must be fully poly or you're out" and also there's several ways to poly and open relationships. but I also see how it feels limited (ironic with our name, huh?) to others. ;;
maybe it's because there's so few of us that there's not many people to go to?
so... what would you all think about opening up the rp to the general public? potentially having more people to mingle with and grow close with, even if some folks find that they prefer monogamy with occasional hookups or what have you.
since that's the kind of spirit I wanted here, allow people to experiment with poly and figure what they like, wherever it is on the mono vs poly spectrum.
I know personally for me, I’ve kind of had a lot of disconnect with this rp. I’ve tried interacting with everyone because when I joined I assumed this was a poly rp, but it hasn’t given me that feeling at all. I even discussed this with Hyungwon ooc because I was curious as to why they left and found out that we were feeling the same: left out. WonHyuk is only developing because Hoseok actually responds to me and gives me the time of day. It’s also really disappointing when you find out someone thought you were coming in to steal their boyfriend, but I’m sorry. I was under the impression that this was poly so I was trying to interact with everyone, but it didn’t take long before it became clear that I was unwanted in situations.
Well I’m kind of awkward too :p
It’s hard to rp since I’ve been busy but I try to participate.
Hyuk has been accompanying me with my busy schedule.
I’m still down to try and do the Poly thing if you guys are down
