rpanons | but my main character syndrome

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 post personal information. This includes but is not limited to full names, addresses, phone numbers and so on.
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 am finally getting the cross-canon ship of my dreams and i'm so happy about it

happy for you! i'm about to get some of that sweet shippy stuff myself.

right?? its the best — i'm in the same boat and it's just been such a delight

waiting with baited breath to see if this is going to be me... the characters are being terribly domestic but we both do slowburn by preference and they have never said OUTRIGHT they wanna ship it, though we've discussed our characters sticking together post-endgame

After months of being wishy-washy, I've decided to take the plunge and play a character I've been meaning to for years. Because he's popular, I worried I wouldn't do him justice and I had no confidence but now I've decided to just do it anyway. ("Do it afraid," is my new mantra.)

Once I come up with a good journal name, I'm going to do all the crosscanon tags I've been itching for.

right on, anon! i hope you get all the threads of your dreams!

I'm doing the same thing, anon! That's a good mantra and I hope it goes well for you!

i thought i had retired this character for good but i think i'll dust him off for a bit of fun. my main rn is so easy mode i think revisiting a challenging character will be fun

met a bunch of new people on memes and now we're planning some cute psl threads.

just when i was beginning to doubt my rp prowess, i found success on a meme. thank you strangers.

I've been out of the rp scene for almost a year for a lot of reasons, and I decided to dip back in on a whim. I took a chance on a new character instead of falling back on an old reliable and my first hit has turned into a thread I'm insanely excited about. It feels good to have that little thrill back every time I see a new tag response come in from my partner and I can't wait to see where our scene goes.

rereading logs from an old game and feeling a lot more confident about how i'd played that character

is there like a way we can speedrun this for characters we just picked up

omg i'm almost done with my icons and i think my favorite ones are the cry faces so please be sure to make my character cry

my rp partner and i are on the exact same filthy kinky wavelength and it's a great feeling

feeling like tagging out to strangers on bakerstreet, i hope to get some good psls going this year!

it's friday!

this week i'll have my first psl to ever reach 100 comments and i'm really happy about it! i used to be the type of person who'd idle out of 5 comment a month ac, so i'm really proud of myself for how far i've come considering this one's been going for under a month. it helps that my partner is an amazing writer and we're able to introduce all kinds of random elements to the scenes so far.

Congrats, anon! That really is an accomplishment. Looks like I'm headed in that same direction as well, so I understand what a good feeling this is. Keep it up :)

A few to go through here.
I've just started putting effort into RPing again after a bunch of stuff made it too hard to do much more than the occasional casual meme thread for a few years and it's going pretty well.

I'm not game-ready quite yet, but despite most of my characters being either on the obscure or low-demand side, I've gotten a lot more bites on both meme toplevels and tag-outs than I expected. I kept hearing about how obscures have such a hard time on memes, but I guess I picked some pretty adaptable ones and/or really lucked out when I picked who to tag out to.

Despite mostly obscure characters, I recently started voicetesting a supporting character from a major franchise that I've loved all my life but never had fandom involvement with before.
The character is one that gets a lot of hate in non-rp fandom places, but all the castmates and xcanon people I've played off have been really nice and encouraging about them and how I play them.

Got a really cool xcanon CR thread where we're both playing rare-as-fuck characters who turned out to be a perfect match for what could be some neat plotty stuff.

Have found more than one castmate for my most obscure muse. That I didn't beg or enable. Just a total stranger who also picked a blorbo from the same lesser-known source.

our otp is holding hands in our thread and it's the hottest thing i've ever rped

Hey y'all. Nobody probably remembers this thread, but I was the depressed anon who was sad over flaking over everything. We'll I got back in contact with the players like you guys said and started tagging again, and my psls are now alive. Hope that's good news to someone out there.

that's awesome, anon. i'm glad you're feeling better
