I'd say Delta Legends are probably better off than Shadow!Lugia and are similarly mutated, but I'll keep that in mind.

Contact Me!That works, DS. :) And yeah, what Wolf said.

Contact Me!Well... Okay, here goes:
I find the plots involving poor communication, and elements of helplessness very disturbing. I am also very creeped out about the fact that there are many downright crazy characters in the RP, and the fact that the police force is usually portrayed as not particularly effective doesn't really make it any better...
And then there's RtAU, which will likely take several of those elements Up To Eleven, as well as the dragons' basically doing terrorist attacks on humanity...
Hmmm...
We can tone down the poor communication and stuff, though you can't really ask us to derail characterization in the case of crazies (though specifing the KIND of crazy making you uncomfortable can help.)
We can definitely try to increase the competence of the police, it shouldn't be all about us.
As for Rt AU... Well, I know it rubs you the wrong way, but it's still happening. And honestly, you seem to crippling your own ability to deal with things in that regard. I'm not saying you should "suck it up;" just... you seem to be losing what allowed yourself to not make as much of a fuss about these things before. It's likely due to RL stress at least in part. So... working things in Meatspace out could help.

Contact Me!I guess getting some RL issues out of the way would help a little... Except I'm not really sure if my current problems can be solved...
And also, it bothers me how characters don't take obvious solutions to stuff, or otherwise don't pick up on obvious things, such as body language and stuff. And why doesn't Diane just take the simple solution out and destroy the pokeball or violently peck Paula's head the next time she is released from her pokeball? (not to mention how in theory the armband should still revert her to human form since Diane was the one who caught herself, and the vow was not invoked since Diane didn't seek out Paula for a fight like Star and Crewe did)

Looks like I am indeed part of the problem...
I'm not so sure what to do about it, though, I think I rely on it quite a bit, possibly too much. I could try toning it down, or finding something else to use in place of it, though I don't know if I could develop my characters how I want without it...
I'd be up for finding ways to continue R Ping how I want while not making you, or anyone else for that matter, uncomfortable while doing it.
But I might not be able to do anything about it, after all, the stuff with Jay seems to have hit pretty much everything on the list you provided...
If we're not able to change my writing style enough so that it doesn't bother you, though, then I think it would be best if you just avoid my posts, if you're not doing so already.
"Don't worry, murder is a sign of affection." - An amalgamation of DunsparceOkay, time for responding to specifics.
Destroying the ball
This would break the "bond" she has to the ball, and render her catchable again.
Pecking violently
Imagine you're a bystander. If you saw a Staraptor violently attacking its trainer, your first thought wouldn't likely be "Hey, that Staraptor must actually be a human trying to get away from a girl who doesn't know about magic artifacts, nothing wrong here."
Plus, Diane wouldn't morally go that far.
Armband and vow
Okay, now you're just nitpicking.
You know what, fine. Your plotlines and stuff are really good, so I'm just going to do everyone a favor and just leave the darn RP already. I'm tired of getting in the way of everyone's fun, and it seems that since I have so many issues with the RP as it is, I probably should've already left long ago.
I'm just going to wrap up my plotlines, and then you guys never have to hear from me again.

Nah, I had that written up (except the last sentence) before you posted. Not that your post helped... I'm sick and tired of this. I should've left a long time ago. As a few of you have pointed out, why stay in an RP if I no longer enjoy it?
Besides, the way I've seen some of you talk about me and my attitude behind my back makes it pretty obvious I'm not wanted, so why should I keep making more trouble for you guys than a Pokemon RP is worth?

I don't know... This month has pretty much already been ruined for me, so why put myself through more suffering by staying in what is obviously an unhealthy envireonment for me, where I will likely keep causing drama and problems for you guys? Sure, I'll be lonely, and loneliness is one of the reasons for why I was so depressed today, but... I don't want to keep putting myself and you guys through this.
Don't leave just yet. Someone who exhibits such selflessness deserves company in some form. I realize people lately have had nothing ot do with your character, and I'm sorry because of that. If I had known at the time I would've stepped in. I won't exactly be available for this weel or next but I will gladly help you sometime after next Thursday. Just don't make a decision til then.
Take a week off. Go out and get blitzed. Live a little! Then come back and we'll sort all of this out. Don't quit on us so easily. Quiting's for quiters. I suffer from loneliness quite alot myself, but ever since I've met the fine people in this RP I don't feel so lonely anymore. Don't give up on these people so easily. I'm sure they haven'y given up on you.

I dunno. The idea of mutating Legendaries just doesn't sit well with me.
