I've been wanting to explain this for a while, but I haven't sat down to do it.
So...I have only been role-playing since May. One of the first RPs that someone started with me finished not long ago, and I just wanted to say... I didn't expect the emotional impact of getting to write the happy ending. We had sent like...it must have been 200-something messages and the two characters had gone through a lot, and the other role-player was brilliant. Super witty. Super romantic. Great comedic timing. A lot of fun. All those messages it was just fun and light, for the most part, as light as medeival romance can be...but very light and fluffy. Then, at the end, when I was writing the last message...before I even realized it was the natural ending point...all of sudden, I was thinking about how the character would react to what the other character had just said, and all of sudden...just.. bam. I empathized with the character. Some wall broke and I suddenly felt what the character would really feel, and I totally started crying. Out of NOWHERE. But the characters were both fulfilling their destines. And getting their heart's desires, and it really affected me. It was a beautiful, really cool moment.
It's no wonder that I'm addicted to role-playing. I don't think it's just about writing, it's about emotional fulfillment too. Being in touch with your emotional side. Which I'm normally not.

That sounds magical. Wow. Ive only finished a few rps, mostly one offs, lol, and I must admit Ive never felt very strongly one way or the other. On an rp that ended.
Must have been some rp. Im a tad jelly.
And definitely being in tune with your emotional side is such a treat. There a few tps still going on that are just wow
Sometimes.

Oh, girl. You got nothing to be jelly about! You know I'm addicted to your writing too...and NO One does Hurt/Comfort like you! Which is...very emotionally fulfilling..in ways that romance RP's can't even fully be.

Aw thanks lol.
That's so beautiful! I'm so happy for you! And secretly happy for me too, you're giving me hope 
I've been rping for years and years (long than I want to admit) but have felt so jaded because everything I've done in the last couple of years has completely lacked depth. I totally want what you're feeling right now! I'm envious, but still so happy for you haha

Congratulations way to go.
Congrats!
I actually had a scene like that not to long ago. My character and I have gone through a similar situation with a parent and I actually cried because his emotions felt just like mine. That was my first ever time really putting my own emotions into a character.

Aww. Thanks. Maybe it is because I am new that it impacted me so much. On the other hand, maybe it just takes the right combination of plot and characters that tug at your heartstrings just a certain way. For me, it was the romance.

Me and my friends IRL were being made fun of for doing roleplay, and called it "pointless, waste of time, non creative". Looking at posts like yours, should be shown to them to prove that roleplaying can even help you show emotions you didn't know you have and be yourself

I have the hardest time letting go of RPs. I usually try to find a way to make them keep going. I don’t think I’ve ever had an RP end naturally. Lots stopped for one reason or another, or they get re-started, but I just can’t get over them haha
Finishing rps is so hard for so many reasons but it is also so amazing. So emotional. So cathartic. Whenever it's possible, it's just the best. Grats on that feeling. I'm jealous. It's so rare in my experience.
