Most people enjoy cuddling quietly; I can’t, at least not for long. I need to touch and caress and, even while holding hands, I need to establish a communication with little movements, a smile, or even brief kisses. At SL that need becomes waaay more intense, and I find very hard to cuddle in silence without my attention drifting away… that is probably because I tend to be defined as talkative *smiles*.
This is pretty annoying, because it means that I feel neglected soon if I don’t get constant attention, something that isn’t easy at virtual worlds, but sometimes it has its good sides. For example, I was asking Katrina about her World of Warcraft character, a Draenei, and since I don’t play the game she gave me links to some drawings so I could get an idea of what was she talking about.
What did I do when our chat stalled a bit? I went to my inventory and started looking for items I could wear into a Draenei avatar: a Sin Skins Drow Tone 1 (10L$!), Detour’s Johanna White Mix, female white horns and hooves from Titania’s Court, my old Flexy Neko tail from Jungle Voodoo and, to cover it all, the awesome Medea outfit from Nomine. Oh! And I took the picture at a tabern of World of Witchcraft, a WOW oriented sim/shop.
Even if I didn’t manage the cuteness of the previous picture, it isn’t too bad a look for a hurried job, don’t you think? (if I only had checked where was I putting my hoof :-p)
Once somebody called me a neko impostor and, even if it was said nicely, I felt pretty offended. I may be human or neko, depending of how I feel, but I FEEL I am them.
I don’t feel like a Draenei, and now I see that this avatar is mostly a way to communicate, without words, how deeply I feel the need to be sexy and desirable. It isn’t as if I don’t feel it, but more that I am hooked on the feeling, and I wonder if that isn’t the drive behind the huge success of SL fashion: communication.
that skin is only 10L?!! *runs to get it*
That is a beautiful drawing and an amazing avatar. I always had a thing for fauns and hooved anthropomorphic creatures. Well done!
Communication is a must for me. I could not simply sit and do nothing. I love talking and conversation, and I love the occasional “/me touches your hand” in between.
That’s all I get? A comment about how cheap is my skin? ;-p
OMG That picture is sooo cute. I had forgotten about them although I did a picture once with a Draenei from both SL and WoW but I think it’s time to dig out the hooves again soon.
Mmmm… Peter’s comment and mine crossed, and I didn’t notice his until now (“amazing” sounds waaay better than “only 10L” *giggles*).
Oh, and I am glad you too are one of those parrots that can’t keep his mouth closed, Peter *winks*.
Thank you, Faerie :-) Btw, do you have a link for that picture? I don’t remember it (probably because I don’t pay much attention to WOW matters), but I’ love to mention it here, and even more if you are going to do a post about it!
/me considers to pout – but does not ;-)
Why pout? For being a parrot? I too am one, and proud to be! *smiles*
No, for noticing my reply 12 hours late.
Polly wants cookie, Polly wants cookie, Polly wants cookie
:: Giggles.:: Hehe.. Sexyfun~ I dunno -what- it is with me and those horned beauties… But for some reason, I won’t play anything but a draenei unless I have to. ^^;; … I think it’s the sexy blue skin. And the hips. o.o … And the tail is cute too! <.<
Peter, it wasn’t 12 hours… I saw it through my PDA when I was going to bed, but I was too lazy to turn on the computer and answer it *sticks her tongue out and shares a cookie with you*.
Mmm… Interesting *winks at Katrina and thinks about adding some golden rings to her tail, as they are shown in the drawing*
Did she say tail? Oh my, she said tail…
/me faints with a half munched cookie
/me laughs madly!
I keep thinking, “She needs a bridle” But thats probably me just being silly.
mm… she how complex things are at SL? That could be a joke about how strange the avie looks for you, or a ponygirl-like hint :-p
