I really want to thank you for your constructive feedback. I'm always nervous as all heck when I put up a HMD because I've been ragged on before and I'm really gun shy. It's the main reason my tags are horribly short. I second guess myself all the time and am terrified I'm just annoying people with my super long, describing tags that go into every ounce of my characters head canon and what he's thinking and feeling. Matt is one of both my oldest and newest muses.

Oldest because he's been in my head FOREVER. He's my favorite and for reasons I won't go into most important Marvel heroes. But it took the Netflix show for me to actually find a version of Matt that I felt I could play much less do so in a game. I think he and Luke are just the best kind of CR and I am more than happy to ramble on in a sensible way if you want more from me. Thank you for making the game so much fun for me. You've helped make me a much better player then I ever thought I could be.

I'm gonna stop rambling now before I start crying cause work and stuff, but thank you, thank you, thank you for your feedback and I really, really enjoy playing with you a lot.

DUDE, I *so* know what you mean. I've had so many bad experiences with HMDs because some jerks just felt like they could rag on me without anything actually constructive to say. It's why my HMD isn't anon, and I noticed yours isn't either. I SO get it. I know HMDs are very important but at the same time it's so nerve-wracking to actually get replies because eventually you start to feel that every single one will be a bad experience. My goal when writing these is to change that.

As for long tags, gurl. GURL. I liiiiive for the teal deer. I guess I can't speak for everyone, but you don't ever have to feel afraid to just let loose in your tags to me. I mean, just look at my novels tags lmao. Give me all your feels and rambling! I'll just eat it up, for reals.

The only ONLY time I ever feel that it's too much is when someone puts way too many "hooks" into one tag, you know? Like, the char asks a million questions without stopping to let the other one answer, or does too many actions without giving the other a chance to make a counter-action. But that's a completely different thing from reactions and inner dialog and exposition and FEELS. (And *cough* this is something that I have a problem with occasionally; I'm working on it. >_>)

I'm just so happy to just talk through stuff like this creatively. The way some people get so judgey and mean about it is nasty and unnecessary. We're here to have fun and write cool stuff together. This isn't a competition, it's a collaboration.

So always feel free to just let loose with me. I swear, I'll love it. And always feel free to let me know if something I wrote isn't working for you. All this stuff we have going on is amazing and listening and working together only makes it more amazing, which is totally the goal here.

Man, now I'm getting teary too lol. You and your char have just brightened up this game for me and lately I can't get your Matt out of my head.

Seriously though, if someone's complaint is that they just want MORE of what you do, I think you're doing it right lol. You're SO welcome!

Hey there! Oh man, I’ve noticed so much more going into your tags and I think it’s fantastic. You’ve really got some great reaction content.

That said, it still feels like you’re holding back a bit. Your reactions feel so much more complete and fulfilling, though they seem to stop there. You write reactions to everything I write, but then you don’t go further to add cues for me in turn. You don’t add anything that takes initiative and advances the thread towards its goal.

For example, in our oldest thread, Luke and Matt just walked up to his house and Luke opened the door. Matt responded to him and the conversation is good, but then he doesn’t do anything further. The thread’s goal is to get them banging and exploring their new attachment, so you’d want to add something that heads in that direction. If I don’t do that in my next tag they’d just stand there on his doorstep talking forever lol.

I’d really love to see you taking initiative and adding something of your own to help carry the thread. It’s a little exhausting and disappointing doing it by myself.

Matt also doesn’t seem to ever initiate touching or kissing or anything intimate/affectionate with Luke and he still seems a bit distant because of it. If I ever want something to happen between them I always have to have Luke start it.

Is there a reason you’re still holding stuff back? Is it more of the same fear? I’d like to help any way I can, I’m just not sure what’s going on.
