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.

it sounds a little like you need a break from this character for a little while or at least some of your threads. if this is a game, maybe go on hiatus for a bit? if it’s psls, maybe tell your partners you need a break and will get back to stuff later

in the meantime, maybe focus on another character or bakerstreet or do a rpa ad or something

i also don’t mind helping out and trying to thread something lighter or at least like closer to what you feel like playing right now, whether that’s your character getting comforted or just a casual thread

Looking for a place to find wolf icons (or werewolf icons) for a canon character that I throw into AUs. Black wolf/werewolf and I wouldn't say no to blue eyes for the wolf, but I know that's a hard ask. I only need a handful or so (different moods/stances) but I'm having a hard time with my brain juice lately in looking for places that would have it. Any suggestions are loved.

It's an Australian brand so I'm not sure it's widely available but it's My Muscle Chef!

thanks anon! you're very sweet and i would be interested in a lighter thread. you can pm me here!

said character that inspired this isn't in a game and I have mentioned to my partners I'm not going to be writing him for a while.

sadly my character type tends to often fall into the mom-friend/caretaker/etc and I am so used to it that it's proving difficult to step out of that role in threads, even when there is opportunity, so some of it is on me. and I really should focus on a completely different character type, it's just a matter of finding someone new.

deets?

I started this as a oneshot with someone else and would love to continue it.

An AU where for one reason or another Ganondorf and BOTW!Zelda are thrown into an arranged marriage. This can either be light and fluffy with the two of them eventually coming to actually love each other all the way to something darker in tone.

Feel free to PM me if you're interested!

da but seriously who even thinks that 'dns/dnt' means that the player is claiming the icons are their own art?

like, it could be! or it could be something they commissioned. or it could be that they specifically asked the artist for individual permission to use their art for icons. who knows.

but dns/dnt just means don't take the icons, nothing more, nothing less.

Friend apped the other half of my ship to my game, but it seems like they're only interested in playing with me, and barely. I feel like their tags often lack effort, but it wouldn't be a problem if they were actually active. But they're not. I link them to posts their character might be interested in, I try to get them engaged with events, but there's only so much I can do. The other character should be the outgoing type who drags my character into situations, if anything, so it's hard not to have that color the in-game relationship. I don't want to plot important things without them, but they're never in the mood.

I like this player as a person and a friend, but their behavior as a castmate and RP partner is bringing me down. I feel terrible, though, because they're always so stressed about RL that I can't possibly ask them to prioritize RP. I don't want to be a dick or make demands of someone's time, I'm just aching to RP a ship with a fun little in-game arc, and this ain't it.

I have this OC who's a pastor (Lutheran minister) that I'd like to play some historically relevant and maybe religious-centered plotlines with.

While he heralds from 1904, I would be willing to play him from any period between ca. 1800 to right before WWII, so any characters - OC or canon - from that period would be very welcome.

He has info in journal, but basically I'm looking for him to meet people to interact with in a religious setting (church or, like, theology studies or similar). He's Danish, but I'm willing to have him move out of a Danish context to engage with characters from other countries or cultures. Honestly, I'm pretty open, I just really want some theological discussions and/or religious angst with proper resolutions, please.

M/M for shipping, expect period-typical thoughts and reactions to this, though I'm looking for eventual happy endings to any romantic CR. Gen is very, very welcome, too and can take any form!

PM for interest!

it isn't that hard to make icons of whatever art you want, why take someone else's anyway? i just assume people have their reasons and respect it and do my own thing.

oh, I've been there. sometimes people you like who you know could do better just...don't. it sucks especially when it can feel embarrassing to have them not be around or only tag you, almost?

Yeah, that's definitely a part of it. It feels horrible saying "I'm worried it reflects poorly on me," but people do notice this kind of thing, and it's contributing to the unhappy vibe. I know my own activity is lagging because of their absence, and I wonder if it wouldn't be best to just drop. I don't see it getting better, and I don't want to end up in a situation where I resent a friend for it. Having an invested castmate is important to me, and it's emotionally exhausting to get the wind knocked out of my sails again and again.

honestly i've had people neg at me over castmates i have had who have been inactive so i do get it. sometimes it feels like you're responsible for them but while you wish they could do better...you can't force it unfortunately. having a convo with friends about their activity is hard, does not always go well, and does not really feel comfortable when you are not a mod and do not want to like be responsible for what someone does or does not do.

i have tried to just work around flake castmates but you can get in trouble for that too...i would not blame you for dropping

I don't have anyone for you at the moment, but this character is great and I hope you find the psl of your dreams

Yeah, I think I've been as up front as I can about my own wants without overstepping my bounds. Like you said, you can't force it, and I don't want to make them uncomfortable by asking too much. It's especially tough because this is the character and ship I want to play right now, and I would be over the moon if they would just show up a bit more.

Thanks for the supportive words, anon. May all your tags be swift and juicy.

Thank you for letting me know! If you ever pick up anyone that you'd find fitting, you're always welcome to hmu!

I hope it works out for you, anon! it's a super relatable problem.

did they app because you asked them to? i've seen this happen before when someone has been enabled into a game for a ship but they don't actually enjoy the game itself, so they stay just for their rp partner and scrape by everywhere else.

you might have to cut your losses and either wait for them to throw in the towel or for their irl stress to improve and see if they're more able to commit to rp at that point. but you're right that you can't force it. nagging at them might make them feel more stressed and even less like wanting to rp.

sorry anon, it's a crappy situation all round.

There's TONS of icons for both wolves and specific werewolves in general towards the bottom, including black ones for wolf and werewolf.

you are a saint. thank you.

No, it was their idea to app, though I did want some version of the character in game. I was worried about this exact thing happening, so I was reluctant to encourage them too much, since, yeah, apping primarily for a ship rarely goes well, and this player has a history of activity issues. Kind of wishing I'd been a bit more firm about my doubts before they apped, but there's no nice way to do that, especially to a friend. And I wanted to give them a chance.

I get that a character just doesn't click sometimes, and I'm dealing with RL and mental health stuff too, so I'm sympathetic... but the longer it goes on, the harder it is to be patient with someone who is always saying "next time" and then running out of spoons. I don't want to call it flaking, but to put it bluntly, it's a real confidence killer to be constantly reminding myself that I don't have any real right to feel disappointed when someone doesn't keep a commitment, because it was unrealistic to expect that it would ever be a priority in the first place. I feel like a jerk for being invested, to be honest.

I blew a lot of money on him. He took all my sanity.

Worth it. Beautiful man.

Ps. Tag him anyway :3

my friend's favorite character to play has turned out to be as dull as drywall and our ship is failing to keep my interest while they're really really into it... they have many interesting characters but their focus is largely on this one. Ugh

inb4 "You're a bad person/friend" i didn't realize this when i agreed to write shop stuff, it has turned out to be this way over time

i dunno if i’d say you’re a bad person or friend. everyone has different tastes and sometimes they don’t align even when we wish they would

unfortunately i don’t have any advice, i feel like it’s probably better to be honest that you’re not really feeling it/something isn’t clicking for you. you could probably ask for a change of scenery or skip forward if it’s a psl, but those seem like short term solutions if the problem is the dynamic doesn’t interest you
