All the pretty little anons

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.

idk i quit for two years and now im getting back into it and i feel fresh and inspired again

maybe take a really long break? worked for me

don't force it or feel like you have to. ime a lot of the people who have longterm trouble are the ones who'd be happier doing something else for a while (a different type of rp, vidya, writing fics, something less nerdy) but just keep on doing the exact same thing because idefk why.

oh also i quit plurk/most ooc contact outside my already established long-term friends and that's helped a lot too. it's not like i didn't enjoy talking to people, but i found i would talk about roleplaying more than i would actually... roleplay... like we'd talk out a whole thread and then have no motivation to actually write it.

(Anonymous) 2016-10-07 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
they're roleplaying, anon. it's a game. read the whole thread. the prize is paid time.

Nice that you think everyone has the same opinion as you, but I loved the shit out of this movie and so did everyone I went with.

You're right on one count, though: this is stupid bait. Everyone who loves this movie's already heard it all a thousand times and rolled their eyes straight out of their heads.

yeah, pretty much. the main cast in hanamaru's probably gonna be a lot of cameos in ufotable's anime. ufotable's main cast is probably a lot of the cameos or side characters in hanamaru. that's what i'm expecting at least.

this is me. it's even worse because i keep joining games, flaking within a month and then feeling so embarrassed that i don't ever want to app to a game again.

there's a character i really want to play but i know i shouldn't even bother because i'll just idle out after my intro

That's just the price of listening to shit on the radio, but on my own time, hell no I don't want the clean version.

Sorry MM anon, it was Undertale.

(Anonymous) 2016-10-07 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
just homestuck really, and the shame isnt as bad as it was in like 2012

(Anonymous) 2016-10-07 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
i don't really have that problem, i still enjoy one-on-one threads because that seems to the most common way of psling. i didn't even think other people did this, threading with multiple characters per player. i guess i assumed most people would call it playercesting and be judgey about it. it's definitely more fun for me, though. i have one friend who plays multiple characters with me all the time.

(Anonymous) 2016-10-07 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Is it weird to tell someone that you've been stalking their character's threads for a long time, that you're a fan of their writing?

What about if they've since dropped that character and you have/wanted to take that slot?

(Anonymous) 2016-10-07 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
at least people play the other half of your ship at all. :C

(Anonymous) 2016-10-07 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
if it were me, i would be so flattered and i'd be excited someone else wanted to play that character!

(Anonymous) 2016-10-07 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
shit i was doing so well tagging tonight and all of a sudden rp anxiety has just punched me in the face to make me think i'm shit at everyone i play and every tag i write.

this is not what i needed tonight thanks brain. i was having fun earlier dammit.

what's chafing your butts today?

(Anonymous) 2016-10-07 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
personally i wouldn't bring it up unprompted, but if it comes up in conversation i don't think it'd be too weird to say something like 'oh i saw some of your threads a while back, you're a great writer!'

i'd avoid saying you're their fan or anything like that though, i think that'd be a little off-putting

(Anonymous) 2016-10-07 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
i know that feeling anon, it sucks big time. i hope you can push through it and get back to enjoying yourself soon!

as for me, i'm trying to make la icons for the first time ever and getting frustrated because i just want them to look nice but everything's so dang dark!

(Anonymous) 2016-10-07 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I haven't heard back from a pm I sent a while back. I tried to let_it_go.mp3 but I was being dumb and got bummed when I saw they'd been active recently. It was my own fault for flaking in the first place but :(

Are you using photoshop? I've found a curves layer (or three) can help lighten and color correct at the same time - dark LA screencaps tend to get either super blue or super green and it can be frustrating.

(Anonymous) 2016-10-07 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
it's driving me batty. i almost wish i could say something to my plurk list, but i'd feel too awkward/too much like i was begging for buttpats, so i'll forebear.

have you tried putting a soft light layer on top of the original image? down to like 10-12% opacity just to lighten it a bit without it looking too weird.
