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.

have you ever had an rp crush? not the "I wanna date my rp partner/I wanna date the other half of my character's ship" type of crush. the type where someone is so good you just want their attention and their tags make you happy, the "other mun senpai notice me" type.

what became of that/those crush(es)?

kept entirely to myself. it can be fun to play this up when the both of you are shipping something, but that depends entirely on if the other person also plays along but keeps it entirely to themselves, never acting on it or mentioning it or even hinting at it.

speaking from experience. i've had stalkers/wankers over "hey i have a crush on you WHOOPS it's just the pairing" type bullshit.

oh yeah. the first couple ones, i fucked up. with one, i tried to distance myself so i wouldn't come across as annoying or needy, and instead i came across as disinterested i guess. we never got very close and we both moved on.

sort of the same thing with the next one, except we were barely more than acquaintances. i was too nervous to ever try to break in to their circle. they were just really cool and already had a ton of friends and people who would swamp their posts, i felt like i never had a chance. idk where they are now or what they're doing.

the last one? i decided fuck it. took the initiative, went after them in pm, let them know i was interested in playing stuff out with them. it's gone fucking great. we talk on the regular and we always have at least one ongoing thread together.

i have one rn but it's not going much of anywhere. the person seems chill about playing with me but never initiates threads or seems too interested in ooc interaction, so i'm trying to keep it on the down low until it inevitably fizzes out. sigh

if you're who i think you are it's bc you're a godmoder, not that good at your characters to start with, and interacting with you oocly is a giant annoyance due to your terrible tumblrina opinions

if you're not who i think you are maybe try growing some balls and talking to the other party instead of wallowing in your own woe

damn that was out of left field

anon are you okay

here's a hundred bucks, seek therapy

woosah

I once knew a whiny bugger like this. She would post in the same memes as the rp crush while longingly waiting for them to make the first move, without realising what was turning the crush off from tagging her. Granted the crush always brought the threads she started to completion (leading her on inadvertently) so she probably didn't get it.

that seems like a stupid situation all around. if said whiny bugger still went and tagged the person instead of waiting around for tags, what's the problem? and if the person kept tagging back and never told her they didn't want to play with her, how is it anybody's fault but their own? if you're complaining about people for being unable to read your mind, the problem is you.

Minimizing OOC contact helps a lot when playing against players who have grating personalities. Or it could be a lack of options, such as when the number of people playing close friends/ship partners is limited.

I'm threading with a player of this sort and while I wouldn't be inclined to start threads with them, I'd tag them if they tagged me.

i don't get this attitude at all. if you don't enjoy threading with them, why respond at all? why not just let them know you're uninterested, or ghost on them until they get the hint?

usually it's because they're incapable of taking hints, and will throw an enormous whiny tantrum and trash you to everyone they know if you tell them you're not interested.

it's a whole fucking pile of drama nobody needs, and it's a lot easier to just tag the whiny assholes back and hope they eventually get bored and wander off to hump someone else's leg incessantly.

There's a space between hating someone so much you don't even want purely IC threads with them (which is extreme and rare) and being best buds. Playing with someone while never being that close is not going to raise any eyebrows, but sometimes this gets misinterpreted through thirst.

Yeah, a few. I have no clue how to describe them as resolved since I'm still friends with them and play with them regularly so it's not like there's a before and after.

It's 10000x more embarrassing to me when it looks like multiple other people also have "crushes" on the same person as I do. I have no clue what to make of this.

it was a mutual crush. we wound up in a weird situation where she tried to make me jealous by psling and enthusing over someone else who played my character and i froze her out because she was coming on wayyy too strong and i wasn't sure wtf to do with it.

we no longer talk at all, but the memory is still hilarious.

We're still good friends who talk daily and send each other gifts now and then. It won't ever be anything more than that for a whole sack of reasons, which I knew from day 1, so I spent the whole crush just enjoying crushing on her. We played a fantastic, torrid, epic ship during the time period when the crush was worst (but I was definitely crushing on her before that), but we burned out on that after a year or so and now we just fritter around with new ideas and keep each other company.

It's really nice, tbh. I think it worked out well because I never even allowed myself to entertain the notion of admitting to the crush. It was a foregone conclusion, but it was nice to know I could feel that way about someone again.

sounds a lot more like the first type of crush op described than the second, tbh.

I have so many of these, all the time

some of them fizzled out, some have been maintained, some are new, but I'm also the kind of person who develops crushes left and right anyway

i have them pretty often, but i've got a huge rp crush on one of my current partners. one of those anticipating their tags, trying to keep it cool in ooc convos so i don't scare them off kind of things.

but we're planning another psl and are hundreds of comments in on our first one, so idk if i could scare them off with my enthusiasm at this point.

I had a minor crush on an rp partner a long time ago. They were really cool, and I definitely had the "I hope senpai notices me" feelings. They were just a really cool person, and even though our characters weren't shipping, I really enjoyed talking to them and playing with them. We shared a lot of game- and non-game friends, and became friends outside of RPing, so we kept in contact even after we stopped playing. Years later, we happened to be in the same area, and became RL friends, although we don't RP anymore. Long story short, 12 years after we originally met online, we're married and totally in love.
