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.

Still looking for some housewife/teenage girl her son/daughter's age.

what do you guys do to deal with rp insecurity?

do you take a hiatus? do you reread your threads to see what's making you feel anxious? do you ignore it and tag on? im facing this right now because i opened my email this morning, saw my tags and suddenly thought "crap im doing SOMETHING wrong with x. idk what it is but its terrible and shame on you anon for being terrible."

da

wouldn't that be "homoromantic asexual", tho?

sorry you don't have a sense of humour

yeah a couple of centuries ago when the US was being settled they were.

at this point they are native

I reassure myself that every single tag doesn't have to be perfect. This isn't professional writing. It's for fun and to contribute to other's fun. I'll read it over before I post it and do my best but if I get doubts after its posted I tell myself its best to go with your first gut response. Then I remind myself that if people weren't enjoying my tags they wouldn't be tagging me back. Really. No matter what excuse my mind would like to tell me. I DON'T stop writing. Because then it goes from 'not good enough writing' to 'left it to long and now I can't go back because its been too long' and that's worse to fight through.

What my mind thinks isn't always right or accurate of a situation. I recognize that and try to pay attention to when it's being a baby on me. Often, it has nothing to do with my tags and there's something else entirely bothering me but tags are easier to worry over.

Except lack of sexual attraction, not lack of sexual activity, is the actual definition. It can piss you off all you want but that doesn't make you right.

"lack of sexual attraction" being what defines asexual and th split attraction model are exactly the kind of bullshit that has led to people to saying they want to have sex but they aren't really attracted people, or people saying they're heteroromantic bisexual

if you want to have sex, you're not asexual, regardless of how much sex you're having.

Except you're wrong, and just because you don't like it doesn't make you right.

Sparkle-whatevers always exist and just because someone on tumblr or anywhere else says they're some silly thing that makes no sense doesn't suddenly change what asexuality is.

Where do you even start with comment..........

Centuries do not mean anything. That's nothing in evolutionary terms.

I honestly just kick that insecurity in the face and plow through my tags. It's taken me several years to realize I don't have to be perfect (and there are still times where I apologize for my suckitude, bad habit) and know that my rp partners will come to me if I'm doing something wrong.

It's better than letting your brain best you and then just leaving the tags sit until they're archaic, at least to me. I hope you find a way to get through this insecurity!

I don't have thoughts about those people. I'm not a fan of animated icons but they have no effect on whether I play with someone or not.

I used to be confused by this sort of statement until someone told me it really is considered cruel to let cats outside in America. Where I grew up (North England) it was almost the opposite, it was seen as unusual and cruel to the cat not to allow it outside access.

Heck, I adopted a cat from the RSPCA (animal shelter) and they wouldn't let me adopt unless I said I was willing to fit a cat flap so the cat had access to the outside.

I guess it's because of a difference in predators? Though that's just a guess. But in the UK we don't really have any predators like bears or coyotes or alligators that can prey on a cat, so it's much safer. Traffic is still a problem, but as long as you don't live near a busy road then it's not so much of an issue.

I'm having that at the moment.

Even though it has no basis in reality, I can't shake the feeling that all my thread partners only tolerate my tags to be polite and I'm one of the shittier players in my game. It sucks and I wish I knew how to get rid of it other than to try and keep telling myself over and over that it's not true.

I hope your RP anxiety gets better soon, anon!

Pretty much the vast majority of people who use animated gifs for icons use poorly made ones, ones with jerky movements (often due to poor looping), and use them at weird times that don't work well in RP.

What it comes down to is that often it's more trouble for an icon than its worth. Animated icons are better used for OOC stuff than RP.

I allow myself to do what feels like "below-average" tags - just, give them a descriptive sentence, an introspection sentence, and a statement or action to reply to (with whatever filler feels easy), and go on. Don't overthink them. Allow myself not to care too much about length or what my partner thinks. Maybe allow myself to focus on tags I'm particularly amped about instead of ones I need to think more on. And then wait a few days.

My RP insecurity is tied into mood, time of the month, alignment of the stars, I don't even know. I just know that a log I reread and go "UGH GROSS MEDIOCRE AND BORING" one day, I can usually wait three days, go back, and feel proud of that exact same log. It really is just a weird brain-thing that cures itself, usually.

If it's longer-term, canon-review or asking someone to spam some fun easy PSL shit with that character helps me feel in the groove again.

i'm considering you a weirdo for having this "culture"

Tons of people in the US let their cars roam outside. Doesn't mean it's good for the cat or the environment.

do you think a guy liking pegging makes him gay

do you think a straight person who isn't in the mood is temporarily asexual

do you think enjoying the use of a dildo makes you attracted to dildos

i could go on, but the point is that you're using inane logic because you think everyone must experience sexuality the way you do, despite having people sitting here telling you they don't

who are we liking so far?

who wants to help me come up with a burger pun?

...n...ooo....

you have no idea what you're talking about dude

Puns or serious are a-okay but I'd prefer no hyphens. If going for serious maybe something about how his character motivations have shifted from retribution to redemption?

you do realize the dictionary definition is 'person without sexual feelings or desires'.

so, tumblr it up all you want, but if you're feeling tingly in your bathing suit area and you have to be DJ Clitmaster to make yourself feel better, you are not asexual. just because you want a special label because 'but you guys, i'm not attracted to anyone! just myself!' doesn't make you asexual. you can't just change what a word is to suit yourself. that's like saying that because you can objectively say your female friend is hot, you're now gay. that's not what gay is. you can't just change the meaning of the word to make yourself special. find something else to be special about. don't appropriate a term that doesn't apply and make it something it's not.
