rpanons | if ur breath were baited, it would smell fishy

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.

you are not your characters though. players still have to communicate with the villain's player. derailing cr for the drama without giving them a heads up or seeing if the player they have cr with even wants to know is shitty.

I play a lawful good type character that has really deeply interesting cr with a few villains/morally dubious characters. they are either keeping their terribleness on the down low, worming their way into my guy's good graces to manipulate him, or are slowly (a year+ of ic) turning over a new leaf.

if the villains were outed from the get go, I would have had none of that, and it would be pretty boring.

da

op has admitted they're avoiding the other players and not reaching out to them. communication is a two way street.

i agree with the derailing other cr point though. op, you should go to the mods of your game about that, it's not cool and i think most mods would look into it.

ayrt

op said they're avoiding their cast because reaching out to them hadn't worked

it's still a huge and unnecessarily dramatic leap to say they all hate op

i know we're all drama hungry around here but assuming that everyone hates you isn't a good way to live your life

No one in this subthread: https://rpanons.dreamwidth.org/91665.html?thread=270662417#cmt270662417

said that all their castmates probably hated OP. I know another anon did elsewhere but it's not productive to conflate other comments into a thread that isn't even close to saying that all OP's castmates hate them. It is crappy behavior on the part of those castmates to scuttle other CR that the OP has, and if someone behaves that way, eventually the mun whose character is the victim of that might stop pursuing them. That is a fairly proportional consequence to ruining other people's CR.

i feel like this is a case where it really, really depends on just what the villain did in their canon and how they would behave when removed from their canon.

like, if the villain from one of my characters' canons showed up in his game, he'd probably agree to a truce just because 1) he and the villain had been colleagues at one point in time and still have a base level of mutual respect for each other, 2) there's no reason for the villain to be doing villainous things outside of the canon setting, and 3) the villain isn't the power-hungry, malicious sort but rather someone who truly thought they were doing the right thing and justified all of the bad things they did in the name of that. he'd likely not out the villain to everyone because he'd be willing to give them a chance and see what they did in the game first.

but the villain from another character's canon? yeah, my guy would be warning everyone he knew right off the bat because that villain is crazy and evil and would be dangerous to others.

op is suggesting that their castmates are ooc tho, there are villains like that

yeah but we're only hearing op's side of things and we have no idea what villain character they're talking about

i've run into way too many people of the 'my blorbo did nothing wrong' variety who tried to woobify their fave villains to just immediately take them at their word

+1

"My castmates not liking my villain character means they're OOC" could be the truth of things, or it could be based on nothing but fanon spun up by people who just can't accept that their fave villain has done horrible shit and isn't owed forgiveness by the rest of their cast.
