Rundown: 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.


Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 3,000. It doesn't look like DW can handle 5,000 comment entries at the moment so please refrain from spamming so we can stretch these entries for a little longer. We don't need several threads soliciting photo evidence of body parts, and we already know that we only care about yaoi. Failure to comply will only result in deletions and butthurt.

i did, but he still feels off to me. then again, i'm not a fan of using previous games' cr and events in a different game.

that eridan gets sideeyed at the game he's from, too, anyway.

[(Anonymous)]

deets?

[(Anonymous)]

the player is just hugely shippy and doesn't seem to get the whole troll romance quadrants thing very well. huge eridan&sollux shipper, lots of threads focused on it, etc. they also tend to play him as a woobie type of character, that's all.

[(Anonymous)]

You say that as if a third of the cast here isn't obsessed with buttsex and twisting quadrants to accommodate their kawaii yaoi ships.

like who? we need names here anon

Re: da

Dave, Karkat, Gamzee, Tavros.

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

Do you have examples? Because I'm in the cast and haven't noticed this at all.

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

All over the place? I don't see how you could miss it, honestly. Especially Dave flirting/being sexually suggestive with Karkat and Karkat being flustered about it, which has happened various times. He's done that with Gamzee too, which is stuff Dave never does towards other guys in canon (though he does it with some of the girls). I think the reason this game has a hard time retaining Jade and Terezi players despite the fact that they're two of the most-played characters in the fandom is glaringly obvious.

And the new Tavros is a mess altogether. The buttsex obsession is just one of the problems with him.

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

Hey, in canon Dave does make sexual remarks to Tavros. Whether they're trolling or not is a much shakier question, but the fact remains they are there.

...buttsex obsession

elaborate please

this this this THIS.

as someone who tried to play in the cast as a female character with canon close CR with Karkat and Dave, i know first hand how true this is. those two players especially are obsessed with Karkat/Dave and it shows in everything they do in EV including only tagging each other or other objects of their yaoi obsession.

i loved the game but i had to drop. it was literally impossible to play my character in that cast.

I've considered apping Jade various times since I play someone else here and love the game itself, but I can tell from their past behavior that those two would ruin the experience.

Vriska and Nepeta (before she had to leave) are the only female characters that have stuck with the cast for a long time, and I wouldn't be surprised if part of that is because John and Equius actually acknowledge them and their relationships in canon.

All right, so I saw this last night and I gave myself some hours to think on a response. First off, I would like to say I’m extremely sorry to any Terezis or Jades (or anyone) we’ve had past or future who felt I wasn’t available for CR. I’ve been somewhat closed off as of late due to personal matters, but in the past I’ve always tried my hardest to be available to everyone, both castmates and otherwise. I absolutely loved the CR I had with our one Jade who stuck around for a while, and I hope after seeing this, potential appers will change their minds and be open to joining a pretty fantastic game

That said, I think some things I’ve done with Dave are being taken out of context-- in particular his ‘flirty’ interactions with Tavros (which were entirely a joke on Dave’s part and lasted all of one thread). When Tavros arrived, Dave was pretending they had a flushed thing to mess with him, remembering how flustered Tavros got in their pre-SBURB past. Dave actually realized the joke wasn’t going very ironically or funnily, and ended it once Tavros started to take him too seriously. They have not had particularly good interactions ever since.

Same with Gamzee, where his major CR has gone from taking Gamzee as a joke to taking him seriously. I may like the ship, privately, but I recognize it would not make any sense for EV at this juncture. The most ‘positive’ thing that’s happened between them is Dave’s mere open acknowledgement of Gamzee as being serious about him, and no longer (obscenely) ridiculing him for it. And that took the last six months.

Karkat and Dave’s CR is a bit more complicated, and does involve a flash-in-the-pan boycrush that led to rejection (via Dave). After that, they didn’t talk for at least two months. I did receive crit on how I handled that, and I’ve done my best to take it into account. They worked together, there was a less-than-a-week-long thing, and now they’re trying to get along on a very fragile friendship level.

I guess the short version is while I have a considerable amount of Dave ships in private that I play in private or over memes, I’ve never meant to make anyone perceive me as playing for them in games. They are not meant to be the focus of Dave’s CR, and if it seems like he’s talking more to his cast than anyone lately, that’s a product of my lessened available time, and yes-- a flaw I’ll work on really hard from now on. I’m sorry for that. There are so many amazing players in this game, I’d frankly be an idiot not to try and tag more of them.

All that said, I will definitely take in mind the crit here-- I’m clearly doing some things wrong if Jades and Terezis don’t think I want them around. I may also be playing up the aspect of Dave’s dialogue that comes off as sexual (and sometimes gross) too much, and that’s another thing to work on.

I have an anon-enabled, no-IP, etc. HMD set up on Dave’s journal here.

tl;dr: I don't entirely agree with everything that's been brought up here, but I sincerely thank you for bringing it to my attention. I accept that not everyone is going to like what I do with Dave, but there is always room for improvement and I take any comments as another chair to up my feng shui.

ok this is the exitvoid thread not the singularity thread so can we stop talking about shit happening in another game with different people as if it's relevant to this one

[(Anonymous)]

I'm talking about EV's cast lmao

[(Anonymous)]

oh, sorry. thought you were talking about sing since they've been criticized too.

[(Anonymous)]

it means don't friend them on plurk if you're just going to start shit them.

that's called being a douche.

[(Anonymous)]

i'm not going to start shitting them that sounds painful

[threshprinceoffuckyou]

WOW.

I guess we're all being mature adults here.

[threshprinceoffuckyou]

ok, since I'm mentioned I'm going to go right ahead and respond but first:

"and now they're whining about this thread on their plurk. that's right, we all believe you when you say it doesn't bother you."

Query: What even are you hoping to accomplish with this? What's the point? Why do you have to broadcast and watch everything Amanda says like she's a convicted criminal?

Did she kick your puppy to be treated like this? I am so sick of this bullshit. I am so, so sick of this bullshit. Maybe it does bother her. Maybe it bothers her a lot. Maybe she's just trying to psyche herself up and believe it doesn't bother her, because it's interfering with her RP life. We are roleplaying fucking fictional characters on the internet, this doesn't have to be a cult.

Oooooooooor, oh man, this is going to be unbelievable: MAYBE, just maybe, she's just pointing this out and it doesn't bother her at all! Nobody knows what Amanda is feeling but Amanda.

Moral of the story?

Got a problem? She has an HMD up. It's there.

Otherwise, leave her alone and get a life.


Concerning what I said: It means I think it's rude to app into a game when all you're going to do is ship your characters with another?

It makes sense in context because Amanda mentioned she doesn't app into games with that intention. Is that really that hard to understand.

Wow, I am going to get shit for this now.

[(Anonymous)]

A

FUCKING

MEN

not to mention, leaking shit on her plurk? ain't cool.

but it's okay, anon, because being a backstabbing pisslicker will bite you in the ass later in life.

[threshprinceoffuckyou]

OH YES, I CAN'T FUCKING STRESS THIS ENOUGH.

Don't leak shit from people's plurks.

Don't leak shit from people's plurks.

Don't leak shit from people's plurks.

DON'T LEAK SHIT FROM PEOPLE'S PLURKS.

This doesn't apply only to Amanda's plurk, but everyone else's too, regardless of their privacy settings. Plurk is where someone can express their feelings and accepting them as a plurk friend means they are relinquishing a part of themselves for you -- whether they're just rambling how great their socks are or they're talking about deep-rooted emotional issues. And you're just going to leak something from a serious plurk they made? Wow, buddy, that's incredibly rude, but what the fuck else is new?

[(Anonymous)]

Some of the douchebag anons think it's everyone's responsibility to filter everything sensitive to cliques they feel are closely relevant to it, and that if people don't take certain measures---or if the douchebags are sufficiently annoyed with them---then they're ~fair game~. Similar sentiments have been made in lengthy threads like this, before. They refuse to understand Don't leak shit from people's plurks because that interferes with the idea that douchebags don't have to take responsibility for being douchebags: they can lay it all on the people they hurt for not being prepared for douchebaggery.
