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.

how do you know he was cool? he didn't have hardly any lines?

and nah, i'd prefer a smuggler like han to a bounty hunter like boba fett. even if it's temporarily and just for money, a bounty hunter is somebody's bitch.

idk if this is the same thing as what you've seen, but i sometimes use capitalization in a way that's not quite emphasis, but more like...distinguishing? like uh

so, obvs in english we leave regular nouns alone but we capitalize proper nouns. capitalizing a noun or noun phrase gives it a slightly different connotation - a school is a school, but School implies something formal about the school, either that it's a specific school the reader is familiar with or that it is not just a school, but the institution of school or something like that.

i think it's part of the family of jokes/ironic internet dialect that's all about clowning on formality. it's fake-pretentious, but the pretention is supposed to be funny. you talk about mundane things like some kind of eighteenth century naturalist for shits and giggles. alternately, it loops back around to genuine and you're capitalizing to evoke that proper-noun feeling instead of stopping to specify schools in general vs the common institution of schooling or whatever.

in your example, i guess capitalizing Sentence could be, like...the joke i'd read from that is that is that there are sentences, and there are Sentences, and that one was a Sentence somehow. either it's genuinely a focal point in the post, or it's an irony thing where the post is dumb and the sentence is dumb and you're acting like it was serious and important and that's the joke.

Idk about the test drive. For false memories, talk to your castmates to make sure stuff lines up. So far for me, everybody has been really friendly and enthusiastic about including my character in the fake lives of their own. Also there will probably be a cr meme after the next round of apps, so you can talk to people about coordinating false memories that way too, if you do decide to app.

im not the one dropping them numbnuts

not a problem! I'm happy it worked for you. css is a confusing beast I'm still getting the hang of myself, but a lot of experimentation will often help to learn what does what in your code. Just be sure to have an unedited copy of your original code when you do!

actually having reread ayrt the joke would definitely be that they're writing like their post is some kind of legal document where things are serious and meaningful and Sentences are Defined And Proper Things, and the exaggerated seriousness of the post is an ironic self-clowning thing indicating that you shouldn't take it seriously.

because someone got mad when told that pressure for representation in japan from the fujoshi part of the fanbase and lgbt activists is probably not high enough for atlus to add gay romance to their niche games, because japanese game companies like atlus tend to listen much more closely to japanese input than western input

no one was even saying wanting more representation is bad or undesirable, just that there are cultural differences in priorities that are part of the reason why it hasn't happened and is probably unlikely to happen even if western fans ask for it

dang, that really is perfect.

for student loan anons

[(Anonymous)]

or any anon that has had one, i got a two part question that i could really use some advice on.

1) has anyone here ever dealt with Texas Guaranteed? is so, what was your experience with them?

and 2) would it be easier to try to negotiate payments through the collector (like TG) or just letting the loan go to the Department of Education? the last time i tried talking to TG they weren't really sympathetic to the fact i can't pay them over 100 dollars a month but now they are saying i can make payments as low as $5. needless to say i'm skeptical af.

i'm not sure what i should do tho i know i need to do something. i never should've taken this loan out to start with but we're long past that point. any advice from anons with experience with any of this would be greatly appreciated.

Re: for student loan anons

If you're not in default you need to go through the government and apply for an income-based or income-contingent repayment plan unless the situation is temporary. Your loan serviced is probably trying to put you on temporarily decreased payments for you to do that.

I'll play it, but I've sunk real world money into the JP one so that's going to stay my main, I'm sure.

But since my Japanese reading skills are pretty poor though, I'm quite excited for official translations to the story.

harry hart or merlin would be a weird but amazing mix with newt here. au-ing or one of their canons or whatever!

fluff and maybe a slow burn? i got a few other ideas too, depending on AUs

[codemona]

I have Morgana here and an Ann (cakebuffet)! I haven't done a lot in the way of icons yet since I'm still not quite finished with the game (soon though) but I plan to be tossing both of them around a bunch once I'm done. c:

i play an otaku character so i worry about this sometimes

their personality and tastes are completely different than mine but i still worry people will think i'm self-inserting when i draw on subculture knowledge i have that makes sense for them to know or have them be genre-savvy even though they do make some meta commentary in canon

my solution so far has been to underplay that aspect of their character so it doesn't feel as in your face and potentially grating
