We mustn't offend the all powerful NPCs!

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.

pretty frustrated. my period started today, a whole week and a half before it usually does, and since i hadn't been expecting it i was wearing a nice pair of white underwear. i scrubbed it for over half an hour and my fingers are all red and sore now, but you can still tell where the blood was when you hold it up to the light. it'd be nice if i could have pretty clothes without them inevitably getting ruined, but i guess that's just not my life.

best of luck to you anon! i hope it goes well!

You can talk to me (and the rest of rpanons). What have you been working on?

Good luck from me as well!

Anyone who's considered responding or posting to the KYWtP meme but feels shy should give it a try!

Did so for the first time 3, 4 months back after being a long time RPA lurker and am having a goddamn amazing time. Netted several PSLs that have become full museboxes with more plot and character development than I've gotten in plenty of games.

Wishing I could buy all my new anon rp partners a round,

A former shy lurker

Renne in trails in the sky? though her backstory is mostly explored in 3rd, which isn't out in english yet - will be soon, though!

if all goes well I'm hoping to have my work published for the first time. it's a small non-profit thing but it's a start right? I've made huge strides over the last year in pushing my work to be of higher quality but I feel my relationships have suffered for it. I had a really bad break-up last year as well and it's really warped my view on friendships. I threw myself into my work and I still feel really empty at the end of the day and I want to chill out and not be a wreck who feels like everything they do is wrong.

I know it's not cool to talk about a lack of confidence here and tbh I don't like talking about it either! I'd rather talk about fun things! But after that break-up I don't know how to reconnect with other people even on a casual level and it's all very stupid and sucky. :/

extremely stressed out and dealing with someone who is always on the verge of a panic attack and not helping the situation.

heh

i've got a yew for you anon, pm ~puppyhat?

feeling the money stress, like i do every year around this time. between all my monthly bills, plus car registration, car insurance, taxes and the fact that my car needs a new serpentine belt, i'm feeling really pinched right about now.

fuck, why does everything have to get dumped on me all at once?

dang are we all synched up or something

how come everyone is on their period right now

(mine is starting this week and i'm angry already)

let's look at the picture prompt memes as an example.

if you go into the smut one, you're going to see nsfw stuff. if you go into the shipping one, you're, hopefully, less likely to see it.

shipping doesn't automatically equal smut or nsfw content, which is important when and if people are rping around underage people or family or w/e. sometimes it's because the chars are underage and they just want fluffy schmoop shipping. sometimes it's because the players aren't comfortable with graphic smut (think the ftb types). so those types of people will enjoy shipping, but will back the fuck out of any smut memes or not go in them. most smut players don't give a shit and will play all over the fuck. gen only players won't go in either.

so because there is a level of nsfwness in the concept of it, it makes it three different categories. gen (which, btw, isn't always nsfw, but it's just nsfw in the context of porn), shipping (which can be fluffy, schmoopy, kids in puppy love or shy glances), or smut (which is what it says on the tin. you're in their for tits and ass and dick and balls). yes, you can mix and match them, but they are, for the purpose of people playing in them, three separate categories.

no one's offended by the connection. they're saying that for the purpose of categories on backerstreet, there are three separate categories, of which memes are usually evenly balanced on. so there's 19 smut/shipping and 9 gen? seems skewed until you separate the two smushed into one category and work it as 10 shipping, 9 smut, and 9 gen. then it's more even.

less ammo for your argument, but fair.

mine should be starting in a day or so. this is odd.

That's not the point, though, because we're talking about this in the context of the need for a gen-oriented community. So in that context, putting ship/smut together naturally makes sense.

Pretty much every OC I've found completely insufferable has fallen under the "obvious self-insertion or projection" category. If it looks like a negative response to your character could be taken as a negative response to you, I'm just gonna avoid the hell out of that character.

I mentioned it above, but we've gotten pretty off topic. The reason we're talking about ship/smut in this thread is because bakerstreet has more of these as opposed to gen memes. So for the purposes of this thread we're talking about them as non-gen memes due to the goal of the thread.

In addition, ship/smut memes are more likely to have overlapping audiences with each other than with gen, so in terms of organizing and running a community, it makes much more sense to treat them as a unit. Technically we already have a smut comm (TLH), so anyone who cares about the distinction will be looking there more often than BS.

no. it was taken as a consensus of gen being swamped out of bs. and in relation to it being ONE OF THREE categories, which is a fucking thing that you don't get to just sweep under the carpet to make your point, gen is not being swamped out. gen is evenly on par with the other TWO categories of the comm. it may feel like it's being swamped if you have no interest in shipping or smut, but it's on an even playing field with the amount of categories in it, which are gen, ship, smut. that's how it's always been categorized. you don't get to change it because you're making a point that isn't.

and from what i saw of the conversation, there were mentions of putting shipping (at least) memes in the 'new gen comm', so maybe you all want to talk among yourselves as to what you expect from this. you can't smoosh part of a category in the 'no' section, then say 'well, that part of the no is okay, but only that part... which isn't actually part of that other dirtier part'. almost like it's its own category.

inception.

is matching heavy multi-para replies or you're an asshole still a thing over here because i've been rping on a site where people don't give a shit about post length

i kind of want to come back to dw but not if it's still got that weird 'etiquette' of trying to either always match or out-do the other person's paragraphs

from the original post.

"What about a BS alternative, one that focuses on those memes which are not relationship based? They wouldn't necessarily be banned outright, but one that would discourage a weekly "mid-fuck" or whatever have you meme."

tlh is actually the 'smut' comm, but i suppose if you're only in it for gen and fluffy cuddles, bs seems more smutty. still. it wouldn't be a gen only comm. so why put ship/smut together when it's not being treated the same in the suggestion?

Thank you

Like, shipping is part of smut. Not all players writing ships will rp smut, but ffs you can't have smut without a ship TO smut with, even if it's for that one thread only. Jesus Christ.

After the Spidey trailer my Pepper voice got stirred up. Are there any Tonys up for memes or PSLs?

no, anon. 'we' are not. you are. the rest of the comm is capable of actually treating things as they are. you don't get to relabel because it doesn't suit your narrative.

the comm suggested will 'allow' relationship memes (ship, btw, in case you didn't know it), so if they'll allow that and not smut, then there is a clear definition between the two, and lumping them together when doing a count to prove how skewed the numbers are is not okay.

especially when what the fuck did you expect? you might not count it as 3 categories, but the actual comm does. so it's evenly distributed. you're not making a point. you're trying to start an argument over semantics and you've got them wrong. 'wah, this comm that caters to everything is evenly ratioed between them and there's the same amount of gen as there is everything else. i feel like gen is getting flooded out, even though it's pretty evenly portrayed. wah'.
