if they got jealous, i'd see it as a red flag tbh, depending on how they react.
like my otp partner thinks she's not good enough for me because apparently i'm really good (LIES) and it helps that i don't take rp seriously/personally like some other people in our fandom do. but she's not a tantrum-throwing baby about it who constantly cries that she's not good enough for me or that i deserve a better partner or wah wah wah. right now she feels guilty that she's on an rp hiatus and not motivated to rp but she doesn't constantly cry about it and beg for pity parties. i love her anyway and don't mind chatting with her about other stuff until she's motivated to rp again. uwu and if she never feels motivated to rp ever again, that's okay because she's a good friend and we can at least chat about our dumb otp and other fandom stuff.
personally, i wouldn't give a fuck if one of my partners played with other people who played my character. not every (character) player is the same and maybe they'd enjoy seeing the difference between interpretations. or maybe another (character) roleplayer is willing to rp something that i'm not, and that's okay.
being "exclusive" seems pretty common in tumblr rp in my experience and i just don't like the idea of feeling like somebody's "property." if somebody only wants to play with one version of a character, whatever, that's their choice, but "we can only play this ship together!" seems a little possessive to me.
i wouldn't really ask about their threads with the other roleplayer because i wouldn't want to seem too nosy, but if we rp ships together i might joke about (their character)'s harem of (character i play)s.
