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. it's not valid. you're trying to argue literally the dumbest thing right now. you're judging someone as heartless because you think their tone wasn't emotional enough in a single comment

Their tone was flippant and they were using their giving away of their cat to mark themselves as superior, even though there were obvious reasons that not everyone could do the same thing.

Sorry, but they're a piece of shit who should never have animals.

but don't you see anon, their motives were pure! they totes know their limitations, and that makes them a million times more qualified for pet ownership than those filthy casuals!

Why? Do you think anon is broken?

having to let someone else take care of your pet because you cannot afford to is one thing

throwing the story around for arbitrary brownie points in a meaningless "look how righteous i am!" argument on the internet is quite another

trying to explain logic to a tumblrina is like trying to explain the theory of relativity to the depressed cat former-pet-owner nazi on page 13 gave away

is it depression if you're not really sad or anything, but you have zero motivation to do... anything

i haven't wanted to talk to friends or play games or go outside for awhile, i seem to just keep going in circles on the internet until i go to sleep, then i wake up and do that some more, go to work, come home, do it again, etc etc

it's extremely boring and yet even trying to force myself to do other things is a chore/isn't fun

what do

(Anonymous) 2016-01-20 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
depression isn't about bawling your eyes out every day. depression =/= sad. you're just deflated. it can mean you don't want to eat/shower/talk/do things. it's like... extreme apathy.

(Anonymous) 2016-01-20 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
no, that's apathy

This is late, but I came over here from Tumblr originally. I will say that the experience can be very different depending on the group of people that you interact with, but I'll try to give a general overview.

One thing that I really hated about Tumblr RP was how time-consuming it was. It was really hard for me to maintain multiple accounts, especially with having to have separate emails. And without an inbox, it's not nearly as easy to keep track of who owes what when it comes to replies. A lot of people put what they owe into their drafts, but sometimes it gets lost, or if you want to look back, you have to slog through your archives. Tagging your posts helps with this, but once again, things happen. It's not nearly as easy to go back and read old logs.

Basically, Tumblr RP comes much less organized, but if you put in the extra effort, you can organize it yourself, more or less.

It's the same thing when it comes to actually roleplaying with people. You have to find the people, follow them, hope they follow back. I didn't see a lot of people making open posts, so you'll usually have to personally go to the muns to make plans. Your best bet is to build CR with informal tumblr posts (aka basically network-esque stuff) and then go for a real thread. Once again, a little more difficult than dwrp, but if you're willing to expend the extra effort, you can make up for it.

There are some very definite pros to tumblr rp, though.

For one, it's absurdly easy to do quality checks, unless the blog is brand new. Even then, any blog worth their salt will have enough info on it to give you an idea of the quality even when new. Otherwise, just click their blog and scroll around. The icons situation is a lot better. Without having to pay any extra, you can use literally hundreds of icons. I had about 300 saved of my last character I roleplayed on there. Of course, I've probably never used more than half of that, but it's nice to have the option.

Once again, though, I'll say it definitely depends on the crowd you get a hold of. Some of them have gotten really...weird? Very into formating text with italics and bolds and strike throughs in normal speaking, for no other reason than aesthetic. But there are also pretty normal people.

The easiest way to start is honestly just go into the tag for '(fandom here) roleplay' and see what you find. Click around, look at blogs, look at who they're talking to. But like I said before, you should make sure you can have at least a pretty good-looking blog with a lot of coherent information on it, maybe post an IC introduction or something, because when you're new, that's what people look for.

yeah, and not what you think they mean toots

from merrian-webster

DEPRESSION (n) [That means it's a noun, just so you know)

an act of depressing or a state of being depressed: as
a : a pressing down : lowering
b (1) : a state of feeling sad : dejection (2) : a psychoneurotic or psychotic disorder marked especially by sadness, inactivity, difficulty in thinking and concentration, a significant increase or decrease in appetite and time spent sleeping, feelings of dejection and hopelessness, and sometimes suicidal tendencies
c (1) : a reduction in activity, amount, quality, or force (2) : a lowering of vitality or functional activity

i thought about bolding the relevant portion for you but letting you mill it over probably means less shitposts for the rest of us and that can only ever be a good thing

op posts about most of b2. you somehow think you have to reach every point on the card to be depressed. depression comes in varying degrees. which you'd know if you had any actual familiarity with depression in any form. people with depression don't sit around crying all day and hating their lives. a lot of times, they just lose interest, suffer from sleep disorders, and have no desire to actually partake in life anymore. if someone is spending all day sleeping, that's a pretty blatant sign of depression. that you can't see that is a sign you're an idiot and probably think everyone's making up problems.
