Long story short I know I suck at replying, but beyond that I think I need to but a damper on romance-geared RPs or at least put most on indefinite hold where Jake is concerned.
Honestly I never expected anyone to be attracted to him, which was kind of stupid thinking given he's kink trash in a community where that's considered attractive, but eh. But he was never really made with the intent to be seriously shipped, or even really held in romantic lights. And because of that, most romantic/relationship RPs tend to leave me somewhat unsettled.
Thing is, Jake is a jerk who's primary focus is himself and his desires. He's always been one, and he's going to continue to be one. He also has zero relationship sense and zero ability to empathize (he can only sympathize, and even so, only when he feels like doing so). So he's not going to suddenly become a decent guy for the sake of the relationship, he's not going to interpret subtle cues, he's not going to act in the better interest of his SO, and most of the time he only enters relationships because there's some to of interest for him to do so (hanky panky or food, generally).
So a lot of RPs where a relationship is the focus with a character like that seriously bother me about 90% of the time. Like a lot of the time the emphasis is either on "fixing" Jake, or it's romanticizing something that's rather unhealthy and not admitting to the flaws. And then increasingly I've been feeling guilt-tripped when, surprise of surprises, Jake's being an ass (because I'm not going to play him OOC to please).
It should be obvious Jake is an ass, and I'm sick of people signing on for that shit and then complaining to me when it happens. It's immature to be honest and it also annoys me, because it's fuckin' fantasy mates. I've said over and over that Jake is terrible relationship material, this is not new knowledge, and should not come as a surprise. You should know what you're signing on for.
So I'm going to ask that most RPs on this site no longer have romantic or relationship overtones, I want to keep it platonic. If you must have certain kinks or adult aspects, then have it be some friends with benefits thing because that's honestly something Jake is more likely to do than romancing, he's hecka weird in any social sense.
Now I'm cool with romance if people know what they're getting into, in which case if I've RP-ed with you for a long time or have done multiple serious RPs with you where you have a good sense of Jake's character and want to try a relationship thing, I might be more willing to agree with it. But other than that I'm probably going to be turning down RPs of that nature.
Also note this only applies to Jake, most of my other OCs are actually more decent to people outside of a few exceptions.

Final Words on a Drama
Wow it’s been a while since I’ve written a journal here. Anyways, this is in regards to a drama that happened years ago, that for some reason I still get notes and mentions about. This is about KingSherman. If you know what I’m talking about, great. If you don’t, I recommend passing this on and not thinking about it, as it is not worth the brain work. Point blank, I want no more involvement. I really couldn’t give a rat‘s ass about what he’s up to, I don’t care what he’s said about me. I’m washing my hands of it. I know he’s hurt other people, and that sucks, but I’m not gonna step in. Baiting me with this he-said-she-said bullshit will not convince me to do so. I don’t care about my supposed ”reputation” or whatever else tactics you try to use to get me invested in years’ old drama. I’m not that person anymore. That said, I also want to apologize for my involvement, because I think I set a terrible example, and did not consider the consequences. I just thought it would be funny to

Where to Find Me
So yeah, with Eclipse on the precipice, I figured it was about time I posted this. I'm probably going to remain inactive, if not become moreso. DA is the last site I update, and has been that way for about a year now, so I really recommend jumping ship to other sites. Along with the kink communities being *much* more active, especially on Twitter. Unless you're one of the lucky ones that made your special pocket of activity here, you're really missing out.
That said I probably will still post here on a occasion, but it will be sporadic, in bulk, and I will be very unlikely to respond to comments. It's really just so I have attention in case

I was reading through and contemplating the "friends with benefits" suggestion, but then you took the words right out of my mouth. True, I agree with everything you mentioned in this journal. As for where any of my OCs stand with a sensible relationship with Jake, it might be these limited few with explanations...
snowpuff77.deviantart.com/art/… Jugo: 21, bi, can do casual relationships, one-night stands, friends with benefits, has a long tongue like Jake, can regenerate from digestion, likes to be crass and earthy occasionally, is strong enough to lift Jake even in his most stuffed dragon states.
snowpuff77.deviantart.com/art/… Tauron (adult): is cool about casual one-night stands, or friends with benefits, is muscularly strong with fighting ability, has a tough biker identity.
snowpuff77.deviantart.com/art/… my checkers and Chinese checkers dragon ATHF fan-characters: with the WIP ident I'm creating for them, pansexual, nymphomaniacs to the point of being street-walking whores in human form, could probably seduce Jake sexually, but not romantically since last time I checked, he's pansexual, but homoromantic.
