The Creative Feels Workshop

[Jestor]

Was looking through old posts to better understand how to use feel.

This post was great.

[Rairen]

I found this one in an old log recently.  And chuckled.

You feel that elves are the great joke played upon the Known World.  Only slightly after tregils.

[SMuz]

Heh, aside from everything else that's been detailed in this thread, I use it mostly as a bit of OOC communication. Sometimes as a hidden, hidden emote. Or even a precursor to a hemote.

You feel like throwing up.
> hemote looks queasy.

You feel that you should peek under her skirt while she's unconscious.

You feel the urge to roll your eyes.

You feel like rolling on the floor, laughing. (a response to a particular 'bug')

[Synthesis]

She's the one they call Dr. Feel Good...

[LauraMars]

You feel bored.
You feel bored, like slowly growing fungus.
You feel bored, like slowly growing fungus in the dark.

feel frustrated
think My emotions are shallow and two-dimensional, its not worth the trouble to even feel them most of the time.

I just found this thread and it was really helpful! I thought feels could only be one-word, for some reason...

feel a wave of euphoria slowly rolling in
think Oh my god, this feels /amazing/! I can't wait to see what everything feels like!

Thank you, everyone who contributed to this thread. I just wish I had found it sooner *sticks tongue out playfully in a manner that in no way resembles the ill-looking auto-smiley*

Don't forget that you can do:

>think (feeling) Thoughts.

[Cale_Knight]

>feel dead inside

Never not appropriate for Armageddon. Put it on a timer.

[Beethoven]

Do you guys use second-person or third-person in your feels?

[Gimfalisette]

Do you guys use second-person or third-person in your feels?

Yes.

Really, it's up to you. Do what feels good. *snicker*

[RogueGunslinger]

You feel your power growing... You are invincible!


Right after branching a new spell.

[Gimfalisette]

feel like you're really fucking hilarious

feel like you aim to misbehave

feel like this is serious business



I may or may not have done variations on each of those recently in game.

[Bushranger]

feel like a woman.

[whitt]

feel like a woman.

Damn!

[Reiloth]

I do third person feels.

[BadSkeelz]

I tend to do second person because I find the syntax shift that comes with using third to be jarring.

[Marauder Moe]

I do third person feels because I also do third person emotes.

[Gimfalisette]

I do first-person feels.

feel like I am a badass

I do third person feels because I also do third person emotes.

^ Actually I do this. But I really do think it's just up to the player.

[cnemus]

Second person for me... I like it to be consistent

feel like you are awesome!
You feel like you are awesome!

And if I knew how to quote right I'd agree with BadSkeelz

[Saellyn]

that little hash symbol is code, so it makes it look like this

Code Select Expand

feel like bright text is blinding.
You feel like bright text is blinding.

[Harmless]

Second person for me... I like it to be consistent

feel like you are awesome!
You feel like you are awesome!

And if I knew how to quote right I'd agree with BadSkeelz

I have been mostly 2nd person. But now that I read the posts above I will try for 3rd person, for the sake of any potential viewers.

[Saellyn]

I like to keep my feels simpler.

feel angry
You feel angry

feel like smashing something, violently.
You feel like smashing something, violently.

feel completely fucking awesome
You feel completely fucking awesome.


Third, first, second. Don't even include yourself in the feel, you don't need to. You can, if you want to, but it's unnecessary.

[solera]

I use feels clumsily, often instead of thinks, because it feels better. For some reason I have used first person. What I really want is the internal emote and then  I can just let it come. Is the internal emote idea dead?

[boog]

An off-shoot of thought feels:  Conversations.  (aka, the voice of reality for whatever my character is trying to persuade herself into.)

You think, "No, I can do this.  All I need to do is approach the hot ranger and asking for his name."

You feel that if it were REALLY that easy, you still wouldn't be standing here in a storm pretending to rub sand out of your eyes because you don't want him to notice you're staring.

You think, "... Traitor."

You feel irritated.


And, ah, grammatical corrections.

You feel wholly inevitable.

You feel holy inenviable.

You feel neither holy nor inevitable, except in that you inevitably can't be enviable.

^-- Happens embarrassingly often. 

Why is Rairen my spirit animal? We're like, the exact same person. It creeps me out sometimes, while simultaneously giving me a bit of pride and ego, tee hee.

I do the latter so much. Whoops.
