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.

ciswoman here, I get on with transmen like a house on fire, but unfortunately a metric fuckton of transwomen I've met still hold onto a bizarre kind of aggressively male privilege from growing up with the boy facade and it just makes a lot of them unpleasant to deal with.

Can't have discussions in female safe spaces about reproductive rights because weh weh we should be thankful we can have babies at all. Sally Sue needs an abortion because she was raped? Tch. Throwing away a gift. I shit you not.

ive had to witness the Pink Frenzy or whatever it's called when some transgirls morph into offensive stereotypes of bratty teenage girls. it's uncomfortable as fuck. some have gotten in-your-face aggressive and nasty to me, just like how some men do when you tell them no or turn them down

obviously not all transwomen are awful, and some transmen are douchebags too, but dang.

i'm appin', are you

yarne, don, merrill, and stork stand out to me, but i'm liking everyone so far

Yep. Additionally, when playing against characters like Hannibal, I'll add some info about my character's behavior and psyche that someone like Hannibal would likely pick up on, a lot of people do, in my experience, so long as they know it's ic for your canon (and this one's pretty iconic, so you're in luck!).

I'd focus more on getting his voice right. His astuteness and insight into his opponent can be faked convincingly with ooc canon knowledge and a bit of help from your rp partner. Most people like talking about their character and their inner workings, anyway. So if you'd enjoy playing him, go for it!

"appin'"

uh huh so why do all "asexual" people who have sex conveniently have sex with people they're attracted to and usually of only one gender if they're not sexually attracted to them, and how do they pick out the person they want to have sex with if they aren't interested in having sex with them?

fuck if you're a man and you constantly want to have "asexual sex" with women because you think they're "a-sexy" then you're straight, bro

Looking for other players! I play this shitlord at

forestcovered! Would love to see even some maybes.

so my partner is apping to a dw game and i want to go with them and theyre most likely going to futurology which is cool and all but im kind of scared if i might not be able to like keep up with the pace or something

its my first time ever rping on dreamwidth outside of small things on bakerstreet and i dont know everything

i guess like... my question is "should i look somewhere else" and maybe also "pls describe the futurology experience if possible"

(i didnt know if i should be posting this on this thread or not sry)

I'm itching to make play Hanzo, but I can't think of a name atm :(

the split attraction model is stupid fucking homophobic bullshit

i've had it with lgb ppl adding 'ace' to their identity like anyone fucking needs to do that. you're the ones reducing orientation to sex.

just say bi.

that god they told everyone. they should where a big R on their shirt so everyone knows

Sorta

as far as keeping up: what is your usual tagging pace? in my experience, pace in futuro is pretty flexible. most people will tag a thread about once a day or so, some more, some less. You'll usually be able to find someone to boomerang if you want to, but you won't fall too far behind if you can't tag for a few days. the plot is there and you should be keeping up on it to know what your character should be aware of on an IC level, but it's not too grueling. log participation is optional and you can control your thread load if you need to. generally there are about 2 major plot logs/happenings a month, and they will be announced and scheduled on the monthly calenders (http://axiology.dreamwidth.org/43511.html like this one!!) so you can be prepared for them/let people know if you'll be busy during them.

oocly ac reqs are pretty low (two of either a 5 comment log thread or a 10 comment network thread) and the community's generally pretty laid back and flexible about both tone and speed. the app queue isn't too competitive rn either, so honestly I'd say app in and give it a shot, anon! worst case scenario, it doesn't work out and you drop, best case scenario, it does, and you stay! I bet we'd love to have you.

I'd have no problem with that. And I wouldn't mind pointing out the occasional blatant mistake to help the person become more fluent, I just wouldn't want to proof every single tag.

Thanks! I think I know what to do for Marco, and gonna use your suggestions for the other two.

Now for the time consuming task of icon making...

tampons or nothing

I cannot handle the diaper feel of pads at all

It took me a bit to figure out how to get tampons in so they were comfortable, but now it's easy

sometimes I'll freebleed for a very light/spotting day because my underwear are mostly old ugly cotton anyway

Whoops, sorry, for some reason my mind went to crazy, over-the-top anime reactions when I read it. So no, she wouldn't be a good choice for that.

there is a wonderful nick valentine in hadriel.

i've also seen a courier six and deacon in savrou.

then you shouldn't own a car!

In addition to the tips other anons have given, I'd say be very careful to not infomod or have him become outright psychic. He is incredibly observant, and there's that whole memory palace perfect recall stuff, but he is not superhuman.

Ideally other players would clue you in on exactly what Hannibal would be capable of picking up from their character like an anon above mentioned, but there's an abundance of players obsessed with their characters being The Best, and may not cooperate. Because they hate fun, I guess. Just ignore those types and move on, their pissing contests aren't worth it.

I haven't seen NBC's Hannibal but I'm familiar with Hopkins' and the novels, and personally I'd love to see one being played and encourage you to try him. I played Ed Norton's Will Graham ages ago on LJ and never did encounter any decent Hannibals, it was a shame.

tbf vaping is completely different the smoking

for one secondhand vape isn't a health issue

I assume the Kirby's just doing this for fun, as I can't see him being really viable in a game. I mean, he can't really speak.

~~We have enough of that bullshit with Reira.~~

yeah, i have considered characters like him in the past and i think they might just be the hardest character type to play. One quality about them that I haven't seen brought up yet (and part of why they're so tricky) is that they notice things that are so pinpoint that often the characters themselves don't notice them. like hannibal with will and starling, he notices stuff so precise that i'm not sure any rper gives it thought (lbr how often does shaving even come up in rp, let alone an rper knowing what kind of shaving lotion their character uses?)

Add to that the very easy pit of infomodding that you can fall into plus that these kind of characters tend to have irascible personalities that rub both players and characters the wrong way and you have a character that plays kind of like preparing a puffer fish, very delicious if prepared in an exact way but toxic if you slip off the rails even a little bit. i used to know a sherlock player who just infomodded like crazy, they drove me nuts but after considering how i'd play the character i started understanding how easy it'd be to fall into that trap

i'm not saying don't play him, but definitely know what you're getting into (and it sounds like you do)
