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.

i don't mean to sound unkind, but they probably gave you the excuse because they knew you'd take it personally

i get like this at times through no fault of the other person and usually i just go radio silent and then tag a few months later when i'm feeling it again. my favorite psl partners pick it right back up like it ain't a thing and that's why we click, i do the same for them when they're feeling burned out

people take things way too personally in this hobby.

I have to disagree with your last point. I don't think it's "this hobby" more than any other. People should be allowed to feel disappointed if someone they've been interacting with disappears suddenly.

being disappointed is fine, but the way ayrt stalked their writing partner to find out whether they were playing with anyone else was overinvested. it reeks of those people who keep an eagle eye on comment counts out of mad jelly

and people do that a LOT in this hobby. idk if it's common in others but it sure as shit is here

i know this has become commonplace but you guys have to acknowledge just how weird this behavior really is

tbf they could have the other person on their plurk timeline and just saw them gushing about the other psl and talking about tags all the time. ia stalking is super creepy and if op did that shame on you and ia it's common here, but there's ways of seeing what a person does without stalking them down.

I love how people also jump to "they're overinvested". We have no clue how OP found out this person is boomeranging with their buddy. They could happen to have seen them in an open meme. Or they could have happened upon it while looking for an old thread to read. Or they could have been looking for a new game and saw this person was playing in it or so on. There's plenty of ways this could be found out with little effort on OP's part. The only fact that we have is this person was doing this in a place where OP could find it. Seriously, most people are shit at lying and shouldn't bother trying. It's always worse to get caught in a lie than it is to tell a harsh truth.

Wow, except you have no idea if they were stalking or "overinvested." Someone may have mentioned something and they went to look at their partner's musebox or a meme or whatever just to confirm. Is that stalking? I don't think it is. It sounds like they had reasonable suspicion of something and received confirmation. That's literally all we know.

It seems like your definition of "overinvested" means "enjoys the psl more than the partner". Maybe they were more invested than the partner (because two individuals obviously have to have the exact same level of investment, right?), or maybe they had been looking forward to the psl, and it was really disappointing. And with the dishonest behavior, yeah, it's very likely they'd take it personally.

I hate that nobody takes responsibility here. It's always the fault of the person whose feelings got hurt and not the fault of the person who should have just been honest from the beginning.
