[DISCUSSION] TCP Sexuality Thread

[skinstealer]

ok here with some unstructured rambling to start. i've been thinking a lot about raggedy- one of my TCP pseudo-sonas who is also known as the friendzoo guy. i've always kind of pictured him toying with stuff but not really knowing where to start with him... his personality is fairly defined at this point, but it feels a little flat at the same time. i know i have a lot of emotions channeled into him, but they feel hard to express beyond excitement for virtual pets that can sometimes go too far, consequence wise (see: friendzoo).

"rin, you could just make him into petplay"- too easy. i think especially after making friendzoo, the concept is a bit weird for him to get into...he'd have a lot of complex feelings about that kind of thing, and would probably avoid it. all the same, i can imagine him getting into virtual worlds like something second life adjacent (or this one sims-like game we're working on in a future felid factor storyline...it would be really funny if he was into like, horny game modding, tbh). his problem however is his ability anomaly's tendency to make shit haunted as soon as he gets his hands on it, leading his game characters and files to behave in a creepypasta-like fashion. it's interesting to wonder whether he'd be into that element as well...i imagine when the anomaly first started acting up, it made him very scared- kind of like the feeling of having a toy lose battery and malfunction for the first time, where there's a sense of something being wrong.

as he grew more adjusted and mature, he realized he related more to the concept of being a haunted toy, even if he isn't really a toy himself, type wise. his toys became friends to him, possibly in a sort of "object sentience" sort of way...and this being ultimately realized, with friendzoo. he doesn't feel any kind of sexual or kink feelings towards rasters for obvious reasons- they are just little animal people in his computer- but sometimes he wishes he could be sucked into a digital and wander around like they can. i could see him saving up a lot of money for a VR rig or a holo-screen in order to feel things better, and maybe exploring things via that as well.

him being a horny roleplayer would make sense, but probably doesn't divulge he's a TCP often outside of designated spaces for it. it's too personal, and he's afraid of people's expectations conflicting with who he is. this probably can get a bit maladaptive sometimes, especially seeing as raggedy is prone to computer overuse and fixating on digital spaces for multiple days at a time with zero rest. he doesn't leave the house practically at all, and while that's not bad in and of itself, his reasons for doing so are ones he doesn't know how to work on, and deeply immersing himself in these spaces and exploring things is how he copes, for better or for worse.

partner-wise, he doesn't have a whole lot going on. it'd be nice to figure out some of his horny roleplaying buddies, maybe? or at the very least, characters he likes to inhabit. seeing as the sims-like game we're working on has multiplayer server functions, that'd probably be the best outlet for it. unhinged brain says throw a bit of SS13 server potential and furcadia dreams into it. we have never played SS13.
