sa

oops, i accidentally hit post comment before getting to the scintillating conclusion: it takes time to get over the loss of someone you love. sometimes a long while. but it does pass.

what kind of shipping dynamics are you interested in? i've got cross-canon ships going on with players/characters i don't personally know and if i had to say why it works out when it works out, it'd probably be that we vibed on what kind of ship dynamic both of us wanted to play out

there are those of us not in games and thrive off psls. depending on what you're looking for, i'd be undetected in working something out.

I don't know most of the canons on Bakerstreet, either. The TFLN memes can help you find out which characters will vibe well with yours and can lead to some fun threads and PSLs. Try posting on the latest enable me plz (https://enablemeplz.dreamwidth.org/47291.html) meme. You might get some bites for the ships you're looking for or find people interested in cross-canon things with one of the characters you want to play.

also asking what dynamics you want to play, as well as some of your characters! i can see if any of mine fit with yours.

therapy will help you a lot more than i can but i'll try. the core of cbd is learning to step back, assess your own views, and then to question them. it's also learning to think of things in our hypothetical "reasonable person." so in the interim try to practice that.

we'll use your friend breakup here. first of all, how do you know that they're happy? how do you know that they're not hurt and sad? what proof do you have of that?

then ask yourself this: i'm a part of this equation. i'm sad and i'm hurt! i can understand that the other person feels the same way! how do i want that other person to respond? if i'm sad and hurt then i want them to be sad and hurt too, but do i want them to share that with a bunch of strangers? do i want them to drag me through the mud? if i were a third party, would i want to have to take sides and go through loyalty tests?

if you start to ask yourself questions like that then you will realize that the answer is usually that 1) you would want to be treated with basic respect and not have your personal conflicts aired in a semi-public space or to have people "take sides" unless it was a situation where somebody killed your dog or whatever instead of petty rp drama, and 2) you would not want to focus on how sad you are, but focus on what you do have and things you enjoy with the friends that you still have.

other than that, i suggest looking up the "no contact rule." it's mostly used for relationships, but it works for friendships too because it's about detoxing and retraining your brain. basically erase any possibility of acknowledging that person for ~90 days (60-90 days being what constitutes a habit for the brain) or longer depending on your needs. don't gossip. don't look at what they're doing. just don't. i've got a lot of friends overlap so after the 90+ day mark i tend to reevaluate and am able to be civil with the person. in the interim, the idea is to focus on yourself and making yourself happy and improving your relationships in a really positive and forward thinking way and i think that's really important! Develop new hobbies, pick up meditation, physical activity, etc. (if you have a bit of cash.... i use "headspace" personally, and if you don't have cash i'm sure you can download the lessons. but meditation is hugely helpful in general, but especially if you're the "get stuck in your own head" type.)

though i do want to emphasize: a decent person will seem happy and fine without you. a reasonable person might say that they're sad and express what hurt them, but a gross and toxic one will make every effort to whine and cry and moan about what a victim they are while making you feel bad... if you have the former, then take comfort in knowing that you were dealing with a decent person instead of regretting not knowing a toxic one.

hope that helps. if you have any questions i'll try to answer but i'm not a professional and not all that smart, i've just been in therapy for most of my life so i've picked up on a couple things. if you ever need someone to talk to please feel free to hmu - again not a professional, but i'll try to pass along whatever therapeutic tools i've been given.

When they app. People tdm and reserve all the time without following through so I don't want to make it an issue before it needs to be. The point of apps is deciding who to let in and keep out.

same here, I love cross-canon and tends to prefer it over castmates

Hey anon, going through similar right now. I’m not super good at giving advice, but offering some sad feels solidarity.

I guess there’s some comfort in remembering I have been through this before and eventually healed. I don’t know if this applies in your case obviously, but I think back to that old friendship and recognize there’s no longing or pain anymore. It was another me another lifetime ago and while the pain was raw and real at the time it’s now just a memory. I can get there again. Time is an amazing healer.

Focus on giving love to those still in your life. It feels so good when you’re sad to give love. I can’t recommend it enough.

I feel like

pumpkinhollow has a pretty even gender ratio but I'm not up to doing math about it lmao

But there are plenty of female characters there for sure!

there you go! happy holidays

aw haha, it's just something little i can do... they've been sent! happy holidays to you too

i use photofiltre. heard about it from someone else and it does the trick. nice screencap icons. good quality with shrinking resolutions.

-1 If they put in a reserve and you know they are pre-banned, they should be told at that point. It's shitty to let someone put in the effort of writing up an app if you are already dead-set on denying it.

I would not let them know at the interest check/announcement plurk stage unless they contacted me privately to check and see if they were prebanned. I've had a few people with bad DWRP reputations/who had been prebanned from other games check in with me to see if they would be allowed over the years.

If I saw them TDMing, I would contact them privately at that point if I recognized who the player was and knew I wouldn't accept an app from them, but I can't guarantee I'll spot people on the TDM or recognize that they're played by someone who's banned (especially if it's a new character/account.)

At the reserve stage I would absolutely PM them. I would not let someone write an app knowing that I was going to reject it.

i agree that the best time to tell them is at the reserve stage. especially if you have a unique app, why would your make someone waste their time like that? conflict avoidance is the only reason

nonnies, i have a question on how to balance out playing a character who's canonically in a relationship/has feelings for that person and isn't the type to cheat with being able to ship without being too ooc.

i want to play a film character that i find really compelling, and i'd like to play him with the option of shipping because it opens up a lot of interesting avenues to explore. for the duration of the movie, though, he's fixated on a character he doesn't actually know that well based on canon events, and does seem to genuinely love her despite that. in the first half of the film the relationship goes from 0-100 really fast based on a few friendly encounters, and ultimately they end up married. their relationship is a thread that runs through the film as a motivator for him to do the things that he does, so i can't just handwave it as never having happened if i want to ship him. the problem is that the love interest is (in my opinion) a very flat character who just kind of exists to be the classic one woman in the film/love interest as a prop for my character (because the movie isn't complete if he doesn't get the girl etc), and the relationship and dynamic just isn't remotely interesting to me, so it just wouldn't be fun to play out the canon option. she's not detailed enough to be sympathetic, so shipping would be crosscanon for him.

my question is mostly how to handle this without being ooc - how do people have their characters develop interest in others if they're married/genuinely seem to love/think they love their canon spouse or love interest? how do you write that kind of 'moving on' arc, if you even do?

i'm not talking about writing out his attraction to women or anything like that, just a way to ship him with female characters that are like, well written and three-dimensional and interesting to play off of. the character's from a super obscure canon i've never seen anyone play from in my multiple years in dwrp - and the lady who ends up being his wife is a main character but arguably doesn't have enough detail to be apped without the bulk of everything being headcanon - so if i end up being in a game someone apping the spouse isn't really a concern. i just need to figure out a way to keep my guy in character as much as i realistically can if i want to play out this kind of thing.

thank you for any thoughts!

I've played a few characters who are in canon relationships but from wildly obscure canons/their relationship partner is mostly offscreen and thus wouldn't be appable/etc.

Here's what I usually do:

- Don't have the character immediately give up on their relationship as soon as they get into a game. If the relationship was emotionally meaningful to them in canon, it's going to be something that continues to be emotionally meaningful in a game!
- Lean towards games that are set up to minimize/eliminate the "when you're done here you get to go home" element of jamjars. If your character is someone who spends the duration of their movie holding this romantic partner in their heart as The One They'll Go Back To, it's going to be hard to explain why they wouldn't be able to do that in a DWRP game. On the other hand, if they're a million miles away in space/fairyland/horror Stepford/etc and there's no way home, he really has no way to hold onto that relationship without committing to never having romance in his life ever again.
- Allow romantic/shippy CR to develop naturally in game, don't have him actively seek it out.
- Add a little bit of emotional conflict about moving on from his lost love
- Enjoy your new ship.

this is perfect... thank you SO much. saving this somewhere

A (my character) is a teenage girl (13-17) who for whatever reason winds up working as a hooker, either streetwalking or some sort of escort/call girl setup.

Two scenarios here I was thinking of:

1) Basic just... idk, prostitution scenario! you play a john (or jane???) who wants to hire an underage hooker and pay her for sex acts. up for really anything other than gross stuff, gore, bestiality, etc. maybe different scenes across multiple clients. drug use/alcohol are very fun here too.

2) our heroine happens to work in the patrol territory of a cop/couple of cops who, rather than detaining her and bringing her home or whatever, decide that they're going to abuse their power and force her to fuck them or else they're going to get her in trouble with the law. would absolutely love it if it's two cops who DP her, but otherwise this can be as nonconny or dubconny as you want.

PM me!

i'm in horrific shape! putting up decorations really wore me out. i have to lose this weight smh

looking for ship or smut threads! or both in one, of course.

at the moment i am interested in mostly playing within the realm of canon. with ishmael, i'd love to explore her time with ahab aboard the pequod and how their view of each other might have twisted over time as ahab's obsession with the whale became stronger, especially since ishmael used to idolize ahab. though, i will not say no to playing them during or after the time in the whale's belly, or any AUs. with hermann, i'd love to explore what their relationship might look like after hermann takes ahab in at the end of canto v. leaning towards pure smut for this one. i imagine ahab would play very different roles with both women respectively. ahab being hermann's dog >>>

i'd prefer to play ahab! can attempt ishmael but i can't say i'm confident with her.

Looking for a long term M/M PSL with lots of smutty scenarios.

Interested in doing a couple of scenarios where A is a prince and anthromorph forced to live away from society and B is a human.

1) A is looked after by a handful of servants and groundskeepers under his father's orders, and B is sent to become one of the servants/groundskeepers. B has only ever heard the whispers of the king's mysterious child, and becomes fascinated when he actually meets A. A isn't used to the attention and starts crushing, and B feeds it by constantly wanting to be around A and learn about him. Things end up happening with B putting the moves on A once he realizes A is into him, curious about being with someone non-human. Bonus points if B purposefully teases A (who is a virgin) to get him flustered and wound up.

2) A can't go far from him home, but he ends up finding B who has been hurt/is sick. A sneaks B into his home and nurses him back to health while trying to keep B hidden from his servants. They end up getting close and catching feels, and things start happening while B is recovering. It starts with small things like groping and grinding and eventually escalates. Lots of sex ensues.

3) Omegaverse option: B is an omega who enjoys wandering through the woods. One day he wanders too far into the woods and finds the manor A leaves in out in the woods. B ends up going into a heat while he's out and about and it lures A, an alpha, out to find what's so enticing. They end up fucking in a lot of different places in a lot of different ways. When they're both back to themselves, they have to figure out what to do about the situation but can't keep their hands off each other.

Looking to play A! He is a drawn OC, dog anthro. Open to canon or OC characters of any medium.

Some kink ideas: Virginity loss, knotting, biting/scratching, possessiveness, multiple orgasms, heat/rut, omegaverse, size difference, face fucking, thighfucking

Hard Nos: Urine, feces, inserting anything into urethras or foreskins, vomit, feet
