That's all very good news! Here's to hoping for his continued health in the new year as well.
I wasn't really referring to any specific thing, because it's been multiple ones. Just in general you seem to use Conan's canon as a reason or wedge to push him into things, even when people are trying to do their own thing. I bring up Sherlock and John because it's obvious IC and OOC that Conan has a huge love for Sherlock Holmes stories and detectives, which is awesome, who can fault him, but that's largely where I see this occurring. As I have all three of you on my plurk timeline it's hard to not miss seeing these things happen in plotting plurks, though I typically don't but in or say anything as I'd felt it wasn't my place.
As for everything you're telling me about Conan and his reasons for how he acts and behaves and his emotions, I'm not sure how that factors into what I've said. If I were giving you crit on how you played Conan IC and though you were being OOC, which I honestly can't crit you on not knowing the canon he's from at all, then yes this would be the correct path for this discussion to take. But I'm not critting that.
I just want you to understand that regardless of the IC drama Conan is going through in the box, it's not an excuse to OOCly use it to pressure other people into doing things. You say Conan doesn't want comfort and that he wants Sherlock to tell him he's being an idiot IC, sure that's fine, but OOCly you seem to push very hard for exactly what Conan doesn't want, even when it's not always something people are willing to go along with.
The thing with Conan trying to help/save people is that a lot of the times the way he goes about it ends up with him royally messing up. It's happened a lot really and it's not like ICly these other characters are just going to forget this. They see Conan on the network asking for help or trying to pull one of his little schemes and they just expect a certain something. That's called consequences. That would be like if Khan just killed a bunch of people for no reason, over and over, and people hated him and rightfully were super distrusting and wanted nothing to do with him. ICly sure he's gonna handle it a certain way, but I'm not gonna expect anyone to want to be his bff or trust him as far as they can throw him. That's how RP works. That's how life works, there are consequences for actions good or bad. So while it sucks, these characters already see Conan a certain way and unless he can really do something to make them see otherwise that's just how the cards fall. It's not something that can't be changed, but it's not gonna happen over night or if Conan keeps doing the same thing over and over.
You admitting right up front that you have an unhealthy investment in Conan's thoughts and feelings is one part good that you realize this, but also second part bad since you know this and you still seem to let yourself stay over invested. That's not really a good way to RP as that's how a lot of these issues I've brought up become a problem in the first place.
