good luck to your dad on his path to downton abbey BNFdom

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.

yep! although it was actually shinier in the prequels/back in the day, and the in-universe explanation for that is the shift to sturdiness and utility over aesthetic and elegance once the Republic collapsed and the Empire took over. as far as the Empire's concerned, pretty things are very low priority, and if it's crude but cheaper and gets the job done, they'll pick cheap every time. not to mention the financial imbalance in general across the galaxy once the Empire hit--aside from the people at the very top, most everyone just can't afford shiny and sleek

it's pretty neat tbh

literally the only person who cares about your medical/sexual/gender/personal issues is you. put it on your plurk or post your story on tumblr, but I'm here to discuss fandom and RP.

unrelated to anything, but dude, your icon is the fucking worst. can you find one made in the last decade maybe?

(Anonymous) 2017-02-23 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
it might be from another age but i think it's cute

let yodamod have their bordered gif icon if they wanna have it, it's as ancient as yoda anyway

One of my favorite games of all time was Glaxcin Prison.
This sounds kind of like that. I'd play in it.

Just a game for that. No apps. Massive meme that keep running. That's what I'd make if I had some time.

i dont necessarily buy that imperial tech emphasizes functionality over looks when their ships, interiors, and set pieces are significantly cleaner looking and more lean in shape than anything else in the series.

compare the sleek, angular, almost art-deco star destroyers to the clunky ass mass of shapes that are the alliance ships, for example.

Re: dda

(Anonymous) 2017-02-23 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
yeah like i said that could be a finance thing too? naturally the imperials will pour what money they've got into their war machines (see: star destroyers, the death star), whereas the alliance was never exactly rolling in legal riches

either way everything was a lot more artsy all around back when the republic was around for sure. kinda like sliding from handcraftsmanship to the industrial revolution, i guess? but we all know the producers just wanted to show off some shiny cg with the prequels after the special effects limits of the 70's original trilogy, so all this guesswork floating around is just nerds trying to align those changes to the universe anyway lol

it is a fact that imperials don't really believe in patronage, at least non-propaganda related patronage, the way the republic did, but just coming from a design perspective, outside the canon reasoning for it, the imperial tech just looks cleaner, sleeker than anything else in the movie. the republic was kind of the same. get off coruscant and stuff was mostly pretty ugly, with few exceptions.

yeah, i hear you there. though the naboo queen's shiny-ass cruiser was def a matter of pretty form over useful function too. now that you mention it, even the republic wasn't completely immune to that financial imbalance either probably, lol

neat stuff either way. ngl im kind of fond of the alliance's raggedy barely-holding-together probably-patched-up-a-thousand-times aesthetic. you could tell they were using everything they could get their hands on off the imperial grid. like an above anon said, it's a fun contrast to the usual shiny scifi

This might be a weird question, but... Do RP communities in other languages (namely, spanish) exist? I kinda miss playing in my first language.

(Anonymous) 2017-02-23 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
kinda ot but your mentioning the naboo queen's cruiser reminded me, i just read a few days ago that captain phasma's armor was apparently made out of that cruiser's hull

no wonder it's so fucking shiny lol. i'm probably late to the party but that made me laugh

(Anonymous) 2017-02-23 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
i have seen a spanish-language roleplay group on ij (for percy jackson, i think). i wouldn't know how to go about finding them, but there must be a few more like it.

(Anonymous) 2017-02-23 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
yeah dude i see roleplays in other languages on tumblr all the time

Kiinda? He reprogrammed K2-SO after all. Then again, this is a universe where a precocious kid in a desert hovel can cobble together a protocol droid.

formally requesting that you add more borders and shitty unreadable song lyrics to your icon, yoda mom.
