You sound fat

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.

all the steven universe discourse ever, especially characters being "coded" a certain way thus making it "canon" and if you disagree you are evil and wrong

no they won't

all of rp is a desolate coffee-less land in equal measure

for companions, sure. maybe. some of them really still don't have many good icons. but if you're playing a protag, it's pb or having the patience and access to a good enough computer to play through on pc and make your own.

of course. but they want an excuse to have a vapid model face instead.

and there's an mcu hawkeye with model shots wandering around bakerstreet. and i just find myself going why.

do you think a person's choice of characters to rp reflects their personality/who they are, or is there no truth to that? (like people who want attention who pick up loud showy characters, jerks picking up jerks, etc.)

(Anonymous) 2016-05-16 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
people pick characters that appeal to them, obviously. i don't know if the characters work as literal reflections of the player, though in a few cases i've known that to be true. i used to know a very bitchy, unpleasant player who picked up similarly bitchy and unpleasant characters so she could have an excuse to behave like that ic, but i have no idea if this is a common thing across the board.

Not really. Some of the most terrible, manipulative and nasty people I've known played friendly, gentle sweethearts in their respective canons. And some of the greatest people I've known played characters I couldn't stand.

(Anonymous) 2016-05-16 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Not really. The only thing it shows is what interests the player and what sort of things they want to explore in RP.

no truth to it at all.

if someone plays 20 characters and that all have something in common then you might be able to make an assumption of some kind about them, but not in the sense that whatever quality those characters share they also share with the player.

the other day i looked at my muselist and found something in common with almost all of them and it made me wonder if 1) anyone else noticed and 2) if people make assumptions based off that.

i mean, it wasn't intentional or anything and it isn't too immediately obvious, but it made me curious anyway.

in the 80s there was a transformers character named spike and a more obscure one named overload (not to be confused with overlord aka james roberts's favorite dead horse). both of these names have come up again and again throughout the franchise's thirty-year history.

a couple years ago some fans decided that male transformers have penis equivalents called "spikes" and when they orgasm they "overload." then the next time hasbro used those names those fans were all "OMFG HASBRO!! DON'T YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?!?!?!?!?!"

+1/-1??

i agree and disagree, so i'm tagging onto this comment (sorry, airt!)

i think rp is wish fulfillment a lot of the time, not a writing exercise, so what interests the player often reflects how they want to be treated. (ex: someone who likes to be babied and made to feel special will play a lot of ~heart of the group~ types, someone who likes humor and crude jokes will play jerks/buttmonkeys). it doesn't always have to do with who they are, because people are complicated and have their own individual reasons for wanting attention, or being jerks, or whatever etc. but there will be some overlap that may tell you a little bit about their personality!
