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.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
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.
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.

someone please give me advice for writing a first-person sample. i'm so bad at them when unprompted and i feel awkward making one relating to the game if i'm not in it yet. what do you do?

[(Anonymous)]

don't do a first/intro post, do like the second or third post your character might do. what about the setting, or the people in it, would grab his/her attention after a week or two? stay away from anything directly about other characters but there should still be something in the setting that would either amuse them, piss them off, worry them, or have them wondering.

all i want for christmas is to play this super rare ship.

[(Anonymous)]

what's the ship?

[(Anonymous)]

ahhhhh yes an obvious pseudocide on my dash

this takes me back to 2002

[(Anonymous)]

lol who is it

[(Anonymous)]

i have a friend who makes small mistakes and will then insult himself with complete sincerity. like, he'll get the name of an actor or something wrong then be like "oh i meant ______. i am such a dumbass."

it's annoying. i've already told him to stop apologizing over literally nothing but he ignores it. i've also always just ignored it aside from that, but he keeps doing it.

i don't want to have to have this conversation with him again but it gets on my nerves. what else can i do to make him stop?

[(Anonymous)]

agree with him and then promptly continue on with the conversation

he'll stop

anons know how to keep your hair from getting too oily? I take a shower every day but by the end of it, it just becomes gross, even if I make sure to use cold water for my showers. Short of taking dry shampoo to it every time I head to the bathroom, I'm not sure what else I can do.

[(Anonymous)]

run a little bit of baby powder through your hair and then brush it through.

[(Anonymous)]

I can't stop trying to win back the kindness and attention of an old RP partner who hurt my feelings. We used to have great times together and I miss it. Yet I have doubts even after they apologized that we will ever RP together and have fun together again. How do I stop thinking about this? How do I stop missing them?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm in the same position, anon and tbh you're just going to have to move on depending on how badly they hurt you. Take some time away from your usual haunts and you'll realise life goes on and you have fun with other people too.

[(Anonymous)]

i finally manned up and asked someone if they wanted to do a psl with me

they seemed interested and we're discussing ideas now

i'm so excited nonnies

[(Anonymous)]

good luck nonnie i hope you have fun

[(Anonymous)]

maybe this makes me sound like a callous bitch but honestly i hate it when people vent on plurk or elsewhere about their personal problems or if they're feeling depressed or whatever and i happen to have ongoing threads with them at the time

like what do you even do, i don't know them well enough to say anything constructive and i'm not the sort to drop in a (cozy) or 'oh i hope you feel better soon' because that comes off as insincere to me

i just want to rp man, that's literally all i added you for

+1

[(Anonymous)]

I'm okay with wayward complaints, but rpers that always siphon for buttpats are draining. I avoid cr with them whenever possible.

[(Anonymous)]

anyone got patch's Tumblr username?

[(Anonymous)]

is it not noitemsfoxonlyfinaldestination anymore

[(Anonymous)]

off topic, but i needed to bitch and i don't want to whine to my plurk list, most of whom don't even know i have mental health issues.

I HATE MED CHANGES.

i hate having to change meds, i hate the endless appointments with the psychiatrist during it, i hate the blood tests, i hate the new med side effects that take weeks to go away, i hate the way my care worker is always around even though i KNOW it's for my own good during these times, but dammit i just want my space.

at the moment i'm having issues sleeping, hand spasms, and mood swings on my new meds and it's driving me barmy.

just needed to rant, sorry anons.

[(Anonymous)]

i feel your pain anon

though i would like to say fuck meds period bc jc

[(Anonymous)]

i want to rp in some memes but bakerstreet is a steaming pile of dead skunk roadkill

[(Anonymous)]

speak for yourself. I have had some absolutely GREAT threads in bakerstreet. They move slow (actually one is currently waiting me whoops) but they are thoughtful, exciting tags and really much better than any game I have ever been in.

[(Anonymous)]

I asked a friend to do something for me. It's on a time limit, I told them what they needed to know for it. It's been a few days, and every time I've sat down to help them with the coding in case they needed to ask questions, they've instead played MMOs. I now have a day to do this coding myself when I'm practically coding illiterate.

Thank god my girlfriend is more reliable and is willing to whip something up. :/

[(Anonymous)]

on the one hand, it sounds like a favor and therefore not something they're actually obligated to help you with

on the other hand why the fuck would they not just say no instead of stringing you along and screwing you over

[(Anonymous)]

canonmate apps in, is accepted

we thread, they constantly talk about how much they love our cr, we make plans for an upcoming event

just before the event, they drop, saying they're 'not feeling' the game, and "for people I had CR with... well, them's the breaks. :/"

THERE IS NO MIDDLE FINGER BIG ENOUGH

anon I literally leaned away from my screen and whispered "DOUCHE" out loud

like holy fuck, what is their deal

[(Anonymous)]

i promise i haven't forgotten about this meme thread

i'm just blanking on a reply and haven't had enough time to sit down and hammer it out

don't give up on me meme partner

Don't worry, partner, we've all been there and I don't mind waiting!

itt hobbies

[(Anonymous)]

what are your non-rp hobbies anons? how did you get into them?

Re: itt hobbies

[(Anonymous)]

I Irish dance! When I was 5 my mom signed me up for it because her and my dad had just seen Riverdance. I was competitive for 14 years. I went to national and international competitions with my team. We were pretty good! Now I just help teach classes at a community center.

I also like to run. I got into that when I had to stop Irish dancing for awhile and I really enjoyed it. I also lift which I consider a hobby too.

I paint and draw... I always did that as a kid and eventually my mom signed me up for art lessons but mostly because my neighbor taught them and I could walk there on my own and she was sick of driving me to Irish dance practice haha.

Fishing is sort of a hobby now but that's only because almost all of my boyfriends (including the shiny new one) have really enjoyed fishing. It's a little weird!

My dad and I started hiking and backpacking to spend more time together + we enjoyed the outdoors, so I have really enjoyed having that as a hobby too.

And makeup. I fucking love makeup.

RECOMMEND ME A THING

[(Anonymous)]

you know the drill. post keywords related to what you're into, and people will give you recs on what you should check out. books, music, video games, whatever you like.

Re: RECOMMEND ME A THING

[(Anonymous)]

books-- fun and punchy fantasy (not picky about what kind, steampunk, mythpunk, urban whatever). can be tropey or cliche, as long as they play around with it


music-- dramatic and ethereal sort of stuff. i like austra, grimes, within temptation

How do you deal with anger toward a PSL partner, nonnies?

For about a year I had a good roll going with someone, we talked constantly, maybe made more threads than we could possibly follow through on, but it was a lucrative partnership that jumped several fandoms. Then I kind of got slow during school and kept RPing, just not at the brutal pace we had before, and there was some weird jealousy shit if I tagged someone else other than them, but they assured me it was just bc they loved our dynamic. While I was slow they jumped to a fandom I didn't and got a bigger circle to play with, and by the time I was ready to do more RP again they weren't straightforward enough to say they lost the muse for the last fandom we shared, just strung me along with promises to try and tag me, and continues to barely talk to me bc they're suddenly busy.

I might've gotten hurt that they don't have time for me any more, apparently, bc it sucks to have to find new partners and we all but swore blood oaths that we enjoyed playing with each other most, bc it was true, at least on my part. Am I just butthurt that they moved on? I was honest when I said I was going to be slow/lacking inspiration during school, but when they come around asking me for muses that aren't that strong any more I just get annoyed once I do and they are slow to tag me back. I have a theory that they're just doing too many threads again and I'm low priority bc I don't have CR with their new muses, but it's pissing me off that it feels like they're not being honest with me. Any ideas?

[(Anonymous)]

shrug

sounds kind of like you are butthurt they've moved on

your frustration is understandable, but you should do the same. you'll be much happier.

itt: good thing

SJW sister ruining family

[(Anonymous)]

tl;dr at the bottom for those that don't want to read

i made a post a while back explaining my insane SJW sister. she's 25 and ruins every family gathering because she points her finger at our parents for things like white privilege, neglecting trans rights, and "killing blacks" (her words, not mine). ironically, while screaming about women suffering rape and starvation in third world countries, she's proven herself to be nothing but an armchair activist and instead of actually doing something herself she spends all her time on the internet and all her money (allowance from mom and dad, she quit her only job) on anime and video games. she claims she's speaking for all these different minorities and that they'd be thankful if they knew what she was doing for them but... well, i honestly think they'd be offended.

she's the whitest, most privileged person you will ever meet but pretends she isn't and will delete any facebook comments correcting her claims to be "poor and unable to afford basic necessities because she's a queer minority" (again, her words). she has no bills. NONE. our parents paid for her college education in full. they also bought her car and pay for her insurance. they pay for her apartment. they pay for her therapist, which she goes to for depression because she said she suffered severe emotional neglect as a child. we're twins and we were always together, so i can safely say we were both spoiled rotten growing up and had all of mom and dad's attention.

she doesn't realize what a huge hypocrite she is. she has no idea what minorities go through on a daily basis. she thinks because she has a gay or trans friend she's suddenly an expert. she's using SJ to get attention for herself and she makes a joke out of all of these serious issues. i want to call her on her flawed logic but she's started threatening suicide if we confront her about anything. we've taken her to the hospital several times for suicide threats and she's on anti-depressants but things aren't improving, they're getting worse.

i don't know what to do. you constantly have to walk on egg shells around her, anything and everything can offend her. i don't even want to KNOW her anymore and it breaks my heart because we were so close until we went to different colleges. christmas is coming up and i don't want to give her a gift because she has been the worst person to our parents, but if i don't buy her anything she's going to write a big post on tumblr and everyone will pat her butt because poor bb she's so neglected.

tl;dr: jesus fucking christ how do you DEAL with people like this?!

Re: SJW sister ruining family

[(Anonymous)]

the hard and sad and difficult thing is that you don't. with people like that, you can only walk away and stop. stop interacting with them, stop listening, stop letting their tantrums and completely unreasonable behavior dictate anything you do. treat it like the shocking and rude thing it is-- if she goes on a shpeal about some shit she doesn't know jack about, say "Huh" or "Wow" and walk away. what they want is attention-- good attention to prove that people care about her, and bad attention to prove that she's so ~persecuted~, and as long as you give her either, she'll keep up with her antics.

and i'm gonna be honest, with your parents coddling the shit out of her, she's never going to change. there's no reason for her to do so, while she can have her privilege pie and eat it too.

randomly thought of that in the shower

[(Anonymous)]

The move was good in retrospect, but that drama was incredibly stupid. And the way that one dude got demonized, igrick or something. That was ridiculous.
