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 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.

no they don't

you guys always assume the worst when it comes to approaching strangers and this shit does not happen unless the person is a fucking nutjob, in which case, bullet dodged

you say that like this hobby isn't full of nutjobs

i hope you're talking about me

if you're that worried about seeming creepy, try asking them to do a meme with you instead? that's less commitment than a psl at first and if you hit it off then you can casually bring the idea of a psl up later.

good luck anon! if it's me i'll probably say yes.

a couple shaky character adaptations and some weird clothing choices, but otherwise, not bad, not bad at all. Manu Bennett is awesome as always.

idk man, i've seen people freaking out on plurk because they got a pm. like, just at the fact that they got one at all. i've been in ljrp for years, and there's been a definite increase in people who behave like this, so it has me thinking twice before i contact anyone privately.

I'd like to try Gehrman someday, but only in memes or psls. I've seen some main character ocs and the plain doll here and there.

oh damn, i hadn't considered that. you're right. thank you (and the other anon in this subthread!) for that point of view. also, ty for the ideas for the pm itself! i admit, i was blanking apart from the initial "hi i think you play a rly gr8 X" so this is really helpful.

nah, it's not so bad once you're actually doing it. i had a pretty good run with an older fantasy book character that only used 'aye', and called basically everyone 'lad' and 'lass' and there was zero blowback from it at all. as long as it's in character, people don't (or shouldn't) care; unless you run into some really ridiculous players, the worst you might get is an ic 'wow so you're old-fashioned' response tbh.

i kind of think it would be more jarring if you were playing ye olde knight without those affectations. if you still weren't particularly comfortable with it, depending on your character i think you could probably justify them working on modernizing their speech as they grew accustomed to wherever you app them, whether intentionally or subconsciously. just go for it! and good luck, anon.

i appreciate the kind words, anon. half my worry was based on the fact that the character i wanted to play was taken in game, so your take on this is honestly a big reassurance. thank you!
