We mustn't offend the all powerful NPCs!

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.

wonder if my rp partner will get offended if i play with someone else who plays their character...

im just really thirsty and theyre really slow sometimes

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.

every player i've known who needed to be my one and only was unsecretly a neurotic mess just waiting for a downward spiral. i've only put up with it in one case; in general it is a red fucking flag. play with anyone you want, just don't flaunt it. (ex: "omg, new player y is my faaaavorite x ever, i could never do anything like this with other x players!!") but that's common sense.

nah, this is especially ridiculous to expect from a big fandom

the only problem is if you start neglecting your other person because you've found a new shiny. this is the only time i've personally gotten pissed at an rp partner for rping against someone who played the same character as me. suddenly all our threads went dead cold and our conversations were dominated by OMG THIS THREAD WITH ME AND X'S CHARACTER!!! OMG

like that's great that you're having fun and all but holy fucking shit i don't care about your newest meme thread together, maybe tag OUR thread every once in a while

as long as you don't do something really annoying like that, you won't have any problems. not with a sane rper anyway
