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.

I was telling one of my offsite RP friends about the anon culture on here and her response was along the lines of, “it sounds like no one there has a life.” It’s really funny to hear outsider opinions about us. Either no one knows we exist or they think we’re a bunch of weirdos. No wonder we don’t have any new blood lmao.

do any of you have a friend who is into the same fandoms as you but you two dont talk anymore because they have immersed themselves in twitter discourse about the fandoms

sure feels fucking awkward

DC any verse - Dick/Babs or Dick/Kory

I play Dick! I tend to lean on preboot characterization for him but I’d be thrilled to play with either of these ladies from other mediums/universes and either treat it as a cross-verse meeting or give the equivalent Dick a try. Smut is a possibility, but it’s not a must for me and tbh I’m a lot more interested in playing out the slow burn of getting together/staying together.

(Anonymous) 2019-11-23 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
yes, but it's reddit/discord discourse instead. like to the point they pretty consistently post salt based on said discourse. and i keep wanting to shake them by the shoulders and scream "GET OFF THE FGO REDDIT/DISCORD IF EVERYTHING THEY TALK ABOUT PISSES YOU OFF THIS MUCH" like curate your fandom experience if it's bothering you so badly, because nobody in other spaces is talking about the shit you're whining about.

the thought that I have to eat my vegetables (do the tags I owe) before I can have my dessert (do the tags I want to write) is really killing my writing drive altogether lately. and it sucks, because I also feel guilty as hell for holding up someone else's cr because my brain just wants to jump on this other thread.

Watched S3 immediately and I need to play this boy. Just picked him up, so looking for canon or fantasy genre crosscanon to work on his voice! Canon familiarity not required for cross canon. Happy to tag into Gen Meme TL's or post my own, at request! Feel free to PM this journal!

If people want to play off him at an earlier canon point than S3, that's fine too, just lmk!

i totally have one of these "life" things and live so much life. plucked it from the tree of life like other normal human beings. because life and enjoying life is important to me.

fwiw, and I know this is a controversial opinion around here w shouts of 'flakes' in games all the time — but I'd rather someone did what they wanted while it was fresh and exciting for them and either dropped their thread w me or got back to it later. I don't need or want phoned in tags, AND i genuinely don't want people forcing themselves to do something un-fun just because they're afraid of looking like a flake to me.

I get it. Sometimes you're more hype about one thread/storyline/character than another. Sometimes something is just easier to write for some reason. Like...I'd probably be a bit bummed, esp if I had been excited about the thread, but ultimately we're humans and this is our hobby, and I'd rather someone did something they wanted even if it's not with me.

I think it's really only an issue if it's happening all the time/you never communicate about dropping threads/it becomes a pattern that disrupts game CR and timing more than once or twice. It requires some level of reading the room and being respectful still, but I really think this panic-inducing 'I don't want to be seen as a flake' culture we're perpetuating w anon comms is stifling creativity in some of the dwrp writers who force themselves to ignore things they'd rather be writing.

Clary and Nero are fine. The players know doing an IC relationship for them in game wouldn’t be possible given both are happily spoken for in their source material so they keep it strictly ooc. This is about mod favoritism and mods mishandling their NPC for the sake of a shallow ship that sprung up way too fast and favored one player way too much.

this is a hobby that is self-indulgent by its very nature. start embracing it. don't completely fuck off your other threads but go ahead and double-tag the threads you're excited about. strike iron while it's hot. you'll thank yourself later when you re-read the thread and see how much further its gone since you didn't reign yourself back.

my friend is starting to veer down that path

we're in a tiny group chat (just 3 of us) and i can tell our third friend is starting to get tired of it too. we try to gently change the topic whenever salty discourse comes up

Re: -1

(Anonymous) 2019-11-23 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
clary and nero are player characters, who cares. if they start shipping in game, who cares. there are no advantages over the rest of the game

my advice to the mods would be to actually let rey struggle and face ic setbacks. i have a lot of faith in this mod team, as they handled everything else really well, but right now it looks like they want to have their cake and eat it too without upsetting this one player

start with one or two tags that you want to do, to get your writing brain going and then circle back to the tags you have to do. It's like having fancy canapés before the main course.

part of what's killing your drive (possibly) is that the anxiety about what you need to do can get a little overwhelming. then you don't want to do anything. but once you buckle down and get those outstanding tags done, you'll feel so much better and you'll be more productive going forward.

you can do it, anon!

no she didn't and i felt too bad about it to tell her, because she was really putting her heart and soul into them
