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.

RECOMMEND YOUR OBSCURE CANON

[(Anonymous)]

honestly this show is so funny and it's soup for my retail worker soul

I heard you told your friends that I'm just not your type. If that's how you really feel, then why'd you tag me last night? You say all I ever do is just control your plots. But how you gonna lie like that, how you gonna lie like that?

You're playing a character from an obscure book canon it's unlikely that anyone but you cares about. You've decided to use a PB because paying people for art is cool, but you are poor. The character has some specific descriptions, but they have a combination of features that are extremely hard to find in a PB.

You've found two options:

A, who has the right hair but lacks the expressions you need and is probably 10 years too old.

B, who has exactly the face and is the right age, but has the wrong hair.

What do you do?

keep looking.

i have a good friend i met through rp but they quit for various reasons a few years ago. we've kept in contact but lately i feel like they just don't really want to talk to me at all. it sucks so much. i wish we still had rp in common so we could at least talk about that again.

[(Anonymous)]

i feel like i'm going through this now with someone i met through rp. :(

do you guys have any other hobbies in common? books or movies that you both enjoy? maybe you could jump into a new hobby together! online gaming or something!

[(Anonymous)]

How unusual is it to be playing out a ship with someone in a game and to barely ever talk about the ship together oocly?

And by talk I don't mean in a creepy way, just in a general "hey I'm really enjoying this ship and I think it'd be adorable if they held hands on the ferris wheel! what do you think?" sort of way.

Do some people just not spend time chatting about the cute and fluffy things their characters are up to? Seems a little odd to me.

[(Anonymous)]

to each their own. i don't chat oocly a lot in general. some people like it, some don't. as long as we're both playing, who cares?

ITT: CHARACTER TYPES YOU ALWAYS HATE

[(Anonymous)]

I hate the anime trope of aloof big brother who's a shithead to his younger siblings but always gets forgiven because people believe the "cruel to be kind" myth. They're pricks but because they're so amazing their younger sibling just takes their garbage.

Re: ITT: CHARACTER TYPES YOU ALWAYS HATE

[(Anonymous)]

the blatant fujobait

their visual design is purposefully designed to cater to the BL crowd as much as possible, and everything else is just bland, bland, bland. written in the dullest, most uninteresting way possible with no actual discernible character traits. usually tossed into kind-of-gay-but-only-if-you-squint scenes with a specific male member of the cast, which fandom creams itself over as the flagship pairing despite said scenes only taking up about ten minutes of the entire series. gets the most merch, the most attention, the most fanworks, so if you dislike them or even hate them you're shit outta luck.

ultimately, without fail, the character dwrpers pick up most in any given show and flanderize into a nonstop buttsex machine.

and just so i'm equal opportunity salty on both ends of the gender spectrum, i also can't stand the girl next door types who inevitably wind up paired with the male protag. specifically the ones who only exist to get the dude's dick wet and coo over them constantly, don't do anything of note and are basically interchangeable with each other because they're so goddamn boring, yet somehow have defenders and stans lining up to screech at you for hating their STRONG!! FEMALE!! CHARACTERS!! who can do no wrong ever.

CONFESSION TIME

[(Anonymous)]

what's the most Extra thing you do or have done for rp?

Re: CONFESSION TIME

[(Anonymous)]

if i'm really loving a thread i'll spend hours making the perfect ~~emotional~~ fanmix so i can listen to it and think about rp even when i'm not rping lol. i've never told my partners this because it feels silly and self indulgent

sometimes i also make a dumb pop fanmix just 4 fun

[(Anonymous)]

anons! i'm getting a cool new gaming pc soon and i want to try playing an mmo rpg. what are your favorites?

[(Anonymous)]

in order of favoriteness:

1. final fantasy xiv! pretty, lots of fun, all around a great game that also happens to be a great final fantasy. also, a bunch of people here play it.

2. elder scrolls online: if you miss skyrim but don't want to play it all over again, eso is actually a pretty decent elder scrolls game. that said, the community is verrrry toxic.

3. guild wars 2: in general it's very pretty and well done, but the story is kind of egregious in parts, and you can't not do it, unfortunately.

77. wow: a good game to get into if uh
um
uh

how cute

Slightly off-topic, but since RP is supposed to be a writing-based hobby I figured I'd try.

What sites/boards/forums/etc. do you turn to when you want concrit on something you've written? Preferably that don't feel stuffy and uptight but aren't so lax that quality sucks. I'd like to try sending stuff out to literary journals again, but I'm at the stage where I know my work's not final draft quality, I have no clue how to fix it, and I'd actually rather not have people I know critique my work because their opinions hit too close to home. (I know, babe of the tit, something I have to work on especially if I want to be a writer, but I'm trying.)

Thanks!

[(Anonymous)]

you sound like you might be past the point where internet randoms are going to be much help. giving actually useful concrit on writing that's already not bad takes way more time and effort than most people will be willing to give out for free (this coming from someone who sought it constantly before realising that i was asking a bit much of people). sucks but you might be at the point of having to seek out Actual Professionals.

[(Anonymous)]

when there's somebody you'd really like to tag on a meme because they've got good writing and a neat character, but you're only active with one character yourself and their canons are so completely and utterly disparate genre and tone-wise that you can't think of a good way to tag into their toplevels for the life of you. and even if you did, your characters probably wouldn't click bc they have absolutely zero in common anyway

so you just have to gaze at them wistfully from a distance, like ships passing in the night

i wish i could actually rp more than one character at a time so i had more options for problems like this, ugh

[(Anonymous)]

Just because characters are disparate doesn't mean they can't click or have good chemistry. Opposites can be fun to play.

Try not to overthink the negatives. You might be standing in the way of your own fun.

[(Anonymous)]

I have a problem. I play from a few more obscure fandoms, and usually as characters who don't get as much attention. Tagging out in games is never an issue, but when it comes to memes I'm too afraid to approach anyone, even if I think they might play well off of one another. I worry that because I don't play from X fandom or play Y ship, I'll end up getting ignored or judged. Is it okay to tag people you don't know, even if you don't play from their canon? I'm not sure what the proper etiquette is.

tl;dr anon is shy and wants to thread with people but is too afraid to.

[(Anonymous)]

yeah i do it all the time, and every now and then you'll see anons gushing about being pleasantly surprised by tagging meme randos and getting cool threads out of it

the worst that could happen is they don't reply. but there'll be people that do

a good strategy to try is keeping an eye on who posts to various memes and noting the people who consistently tag back whoever tags them,since they're likely to tag you back too, etc

ITT: Quotes that make you emotional

[(Anonymous)]

based on the thread about songs, what quotes have had a big impact on you, anons?

Re: ITT: Quotes that make you emotional

[(Anonymous)]

"I used to think I was the strangest person in the world, but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too. Well, I hope that if you are out there you read this and know that, yes, it’s true, I’m here, and I’m just as strange as you."

is anyone on keto?

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

i felt horrible the whole time i was on it. i lost some weight but there's no way it could ever be a sustainable diet for me. but then again, i don't really like meat/cheese/nuts/eggs/avocados/coconut oil/olives/cauliflower so there was almost nothing that i could eat apart from vegetables and gross meal replacement bars. if you have meatier food preferences and you love to cook, it might work for you. if not, it's just a huge pain in the ass.

personally, i've had much more success with counting calories and gorging on vegetables instead of following arbitrary good/bad food rules.
