Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not post personal information. This includes but is not limited to full names, addresses, phone numbers and so on.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.
Do not solicit money, Dreamwidth points, or other currency unless you are offering a good or service in return.

would play a character from way earlier in the canon just to avoid their ship partner if i need to

but mine is because most canon shippers i've met in dwrp treat it like it is their own actual relationship and get weirdly dramatic about it

the only times i've seen it work out is if the players were long time friends and not two randos secretly bitching if the other character has other friendships/relationships outside theirs

i’ve never seen anyone play the other half of my canon ship (they have barely any characterization and tbh pretty much exist as the motivation for my character to do the things they do in the story) and i’ve noticed other people who play that character will either play a version from before they met their ship or just have them accept they’ll never see them again and move on.

doesn’t help that i’ve never seen anyone play that other half and its a 20+ year old canon
