rpanons | Found the token ace

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. 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.

it's not strange at all. it's not weird to have seen them around or to like their threads (and they'll probably be flattered by that!) and since the character you want to play is taken in game, a psl makes sense.

if you step on any toes i would say that's a warning sign, anyway. people who only want to play against one person's version of a particular character are usually (but not always) overinvested.

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!

or you phrased your request in a way that sounds a lot like "oh hey your friend who plays X sucks, you should play with me instead".

don't do that.

I'll play against any version of character X who tags me, but when it comes to shipping I only do it with one person whose interpretation of and headcanons for character X perfectly complement my own. I also trust them not to spring weird shit on me in threads without discussing it first. I've known tons of players who are the same with shipping and none of them were crazy overinvested soulbonders. People are allowed to have preferences. Just something for OP to take into consideration if the player does turn them down.

why are you getting defensive when ayrt already said that not all people who only ship with one person are overinvested, though

there are def sane reasons that people don't ship with strangers but it's pretty common for people to have reasons that are pretty overinvested even if that doesn't directly apply to you. the same people tend to dislike playing gen against other versions of that character too, and op never said that they were only gunning for a ship, so...

that wasn't defensive you delicate tismbaby. there's a thing called discussion.

The winking smileyface tells me that you are overinvested in your ship.

Some of you are just way too interested in assuming things.

I only play against one person's version of a particular character because I have limited time to rp. That doesn't mean I wouldn't be flattered to get a PM asking if I'd be up for another PSL.

"I have limited time to RP so I only play against one player's version of X" =/= "Toes have been stepped on because someone asked me to play against their version of X".

The first is understandable and common and the second is a sign that someone could potentially be overinvested. If a player gets offended or upset over a politely worded request for a PSL or meme thread, that's a red flag in my book. Not enough to label them a psycho, but I would be wary.

lbr, most people turned down for a psl tend to think they've stepped on someone's toes/they're being snubbed/the person turning them down secretly hates them, and will read upset into even the most upbeat and cheerful refusal. dwrp collectively cannot manage to comprehend people responsibly managing their thread load and not having room for "just one more, really".

then THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOU

how are you all this socially nonfunctional that you have to start hysterically screaming and flailing because nooooooo oh god someone dared to offer another viewpoint and tried to have a discussion on a discussion comm

take your meds and go have a nap.

are you new here? like 60% of the posts here are people hysterically screaming and flailing because noooooooooo oh god someone dared to offer another viewpoint and tried to have a discussion on a discussion comm

people don't want discussion, they want echo chambers. that's why plurk supplanted aim, infinitely more useful for people who want to shut themselves off from reality

how are you all this socially nonfunctional that you have to always show up in threads explaining your snowflake reasons why you aren't like those people you are talking about at all!!!
