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.

are language headcanons really that big of a deal? we don't know anything about the planet Cassian is from.

ok anons so say you were all hype about apping to this game, you talked about it on plurk with your buds, felt out your potential castmates, had a great time on the tdm and everything, and then when you finally get in and start playing

it's not what you thought it was in execution, or it doesn't scratch the itch you thought it would, or the ooc atmosphere doesn't quite agree with you, etc. for whatever reason you're like uh oh... je regrette

would you drop immediately before you get too involved in the game despite all your previous hype, or give it a month or two just to see if it clicks after all?

considering nobody would accept a character like spartacus speaking klingon, yes. yes it is.

eh. playing devil's advocate here since era doesn't exactly have a good track record, but couldn't the justification be that it's a stand-in for whatever language they actually speak on cassian's home planet? i mean, why are we willing to accept that biologically identical humans exist in entirely different galaxies and that those humans can have a spanish accent, but they can't have developed a spanish-esque language?

klingon is a fake language, spanish is not.

if basic is meant to be like english, who's to say there isn't a spanish-like language out there in the star wars universe as well?

please stop trying to justify era being an idiot and shoving her virtue signalling into yet another character.

then maybe don't enter a discussion about whether it's canon or not if you don't know canon.

Re: ELUVIO

(Anonymous) 2017-02-14 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
having a character with a spanish accent speaking spanish is barely a reach.

Re: ELUVIO

(Anonymous) 2017-02-14 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
it is in a canon that has fuck all to do with earth. you're making yourself and era look worse than she already did. please stop.

Re: ayrt

(Anonymous) 2017-02-14 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
i'm not trying to justify the other stuff era does because i barely know them.

i just think it's stupid getting worked up about a language headcanon based on a real world language for a canon that has made up alien languages. it's barely virtue signalling.

Re: ayrt

(Anonymous) 2017-02-14 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
i'm not saying it's canon you troglodyte i'm saying i can buy it as a stand-in for a hypothetical other language for a character that already has a spanish accent, in the same way that i'm pretty certain the other characters aren't supposed to be speaking in literal english, and in the same way that plenty other scifi/fantasy franchises mix real and fictional languages in settings that aren't earth

at least the chinese river tam wank was a real issue this is just dumb

(Anonymous) 2017-02-14 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
not on my end, at least. i just got two notifs and when i looked, the time stamps were all within a one minute window.

da

(Anonymous) 2017-02-14 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah i've had the same thing happening for a couple of mine too

it's probably either dw or gmail?? the notifs dont show up in my gmail inbox until way past the dw timestamp, so idk

Re: ELUVIO

(Anonymous) 2017-02-14 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
it's a canon that has nothing to do with earth but the common language is still english.

just admit that this is a tiny thing to get worked up over and not at all the same thing as changing a pb for a character in television canon.

aka who you're thirsty for but you don't play a castmate so you're afraid to approach them in memes/thread with me threads because...you're just some rando.

you can have a specific character dynamic in mind ("i just really want to play tony stark/samus aran") or only the character you want to play with ("idk i want to play with a faye valentine").

well while we're on the topic of era and cassian, is he also some master hacker?
