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.

Nah, he's hot. Shame that cock is unhoppable unless riverdale is doing his character a serious disservice.

That is a shame.

I looked at Lowreaches last night and they seem really dead. Is there just one person trying to post or what? Any info out there on events or game timeline? How are the players?

you forgot one of the most important things. writing about your partner's character.

i've rped with people who don't do this and who then complain about getting their threads dropped. they focus entirely on their own character, how they feel etc instead of switching some of that focus externally. it's important to do so, otherwise it can feel like you're smutting in isolation and using the other character as a kind of prop.

your character is in a smut scene. ideally they're reacting or acting in part because of another character. this character is a pretty important aspect to your character right now. your character's perceptions of that character are also important. that's going to be part of the drive behind their actions or reactions.

it also acts as a bit of ego stroking tbh. rpers love hearing about their own characters in other's writing. it's just a thing. in the case of smut threads, it can help keep interest alive.

jesus. tbh that's a shit tier reaction. it takes guts to admit to an eating disorder. my friend's mother has bulimia but she has never admitted it. i've seen the toll it takes on her though and i wish you had friends who were more understanding. you could at least trust to confide in them then.

really fucking sorry anon. i hope you find people who are understanding some day.

There's Youtube videos and I'd definitely watch or skim a few of them. I don't think you need to watch the entire storyline, but there's things like Old Joseph yelling at Young Joseph as well as Caesar available that'll answer some of your questions.

haha wow not the post i wanted to anonfail on, thanks mousepad

but yeah, i'm sorry man. eating disorders are particularly bad for this for some reason. it's a hard blow to finally open up to someone about it just to have them reject the possibility.

sometimes people are just shitty friends, sometimes it's because they don't know how to approach it, or it's tinged with their own experiences. it doesn't make it any less awful to you, but it's made it easier for me personally to forgive folks i've needed to forgive. and to cut ties with those i don't.

i hope you're in a better place now, regardless of which is right for you

Icon-wise, someone on here said they open Photoshop or whatever and set the canvas to 100x100, then size or crop the image as they see fit. Just don't put borders or text in there and you should be fine.

Yep, he's an original so say so.

if they're genuinely depressed then you shouldn't be expecting a thank you. that's not how depression works. if they're depressed then they already feel like shit and trying to cheer them up is likely to make them feel guilty for wasting your time too.

that said, if you're disappointed at the lack of gratitude or that they're 'stuck' in this state, it might be best to move on. sometimes people can slip back into heavy states of depression; this person could be this way for a while. as you said, you're not very close and it sounds like you're only interested in the rp side of things?

which isn't an accusation btw. i'm not saying it's a bad thing. this is a hobby and like the other anon said, you are not their therapist and it isn't your job to lift them up. so if you're fine with moving on and you're done with waiting, i'd say move on.

or at least limit contact for a while. cut back, or whatever. don't expect anything from them until they feel better. if that happens.

it's not selfish to want to move on. you're in this hobby to write and to have fun, i assume. if they're not writing, you don't need to stick around. some people like that can unfortunately be very draining.

if it's a world you wrote entirely yourself: original character

if it's a character you wrote entirely yourself, in an established media world (like lotr or doctor who): canon OC

good luck!

not so much? there is a network post about phone sex going on right now, and i've seen a couple of other network things turn smutty. mostly it's just asking about the bingo cards, what certain kinks mean, offering hookups and the kind of thing that then leads to closed logs.

also, some characters need cr before smutting and not all characters have chemistry together or match each other's prefs. also, not all players want to smut with everybody, like the players who are fine with underage gen cr but not smut. so there are gen threads going on in the game, too.

Aww, you're very welcome! If you have a sock account, we can always try to confirm if I have the right person (or I can provide a random journal I hardly use). Otherwise, I'm glad you came back, if only brief, and take care!

Character Squatting

(Anonymous) 2017-02-15 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
What do you consider character squatting? Is it something you'd bring up with that person because it might effect your character or bring it up to mods? I think games need to be a little stricter on character squatting. People who only do the minimum comments for AC or people who never finish threads but talk about rp all the time on plurk or app in 100 games but never finish plots with people and leave people hanging.

afaik unless they've changed it due to backlash the showrunners have said this version of jughead's not asexual.

and there are spoilers down the road that are pointing to him being interested in someone, unless it's a massive red herring.
