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.

Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 3,000. Please refrain from spamming so we can stretch these entries for a little longer. We don't need several threads soliciting photo evidence of body parts, and we already know that we only care about yaoi. Failure to comply will only result in deletions and butthurt. "People may notice site slowdown/cache error pages. We're working on fixing. You can help: finish posts at 3k comments, not 5k or more." - Dreamwidth@Twitter

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.
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.

I was friends with a girl back in the days of GJ. We'll call her X. I cannot for the life of me remember how I met her, I think we might have joined a game at the same time and just clicked? But we were very fast friends. I was still in high school, but I'd stay up for hours when I should have been sleeping just to talk to her and RP. She played the other half to my OTP and happened to be friends with someone who who we will call Y.

I met Y through X during a group chat, and hit it off with her, too. I wasn't in a game with Y, but she also played from a different fandom I was interested in picking up a character in. I eventually did, and started spending a lot of time talking to Y.

At some point after I'd become sort-of friends with Y, X started disappearing for long periods. This was upsetting, obviously, because I really liked talking to X, but then I started spending more time chatting and RPing with Y. Eventually it became clear X was no longer speaking to Y, having fed her some story about her mother dying or something, I don't even remember, but X was still talking to me and begged that I keep it a secret. Fine, whatever.

Y and I developed a pretty good friendship, and I introduced her to the canon X and I had been playing from for about a year and a half. She immediately wanted to pick up the protagonist from the canon, which was, guess what?! The same character X had been playing. I started playing the 'ship with Y in a musebox while also occasionally tagging with X, who was still pretty spotty about being around.

About a month into this, X found out that I was playing "our pairing" with Y and flipped the fuck out, calling me on the phone to sob and accuse me of replacing her, send me long emails about how much she missed our time together, the whole nine yards. I was, idk, 16-ish at this point, so I totally fell for it, soothing her aching bottom at the drop of a hat.

I only started blanching when X demanded I drop Y and never speak to her again, accusing Y of doing all sorts of terrible things to X like spread rumors and "steal" all her rp partners.

Well this went on for about a month before even my 16 and infinitely patient to bullshit self got fed up, and everything culminated in X accidentally outing herself as having been pretending to be about 6 different people in the RP circles I ran in before officially dropping off the face of the earth.

I maintained a good friendship with Y before she too went a little batshit, and that was the point I moved over to LJ rp officially and made up a new persona for myself.

lmao this is so very tl;dr but it was fun to think back on all that bullshit.
