something big going down in clown town

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.
Do not solicit money, Dreamwidth points, or other currency unless you are offering a good or service in return.

I’ll give it a shot when she calms down some. She doesn’t work or do much of anything but rp, so I do want to encourage her to develop some other interests too… getting so heavily invested and freaking out when things don’t go as planned isn’t good

most likely have to work three 12 hour shifts in a row starting tomorrow :(

mostly supernatural horror. gothic horror. psychological horror. monsters and all that. basically, if it sounds like a guillermo del toro movie, i'd probably be into it lol

Life is too short to die mad over people playing shittily on dreamwidth dot org.

I'm getting real tired of my trans guy friend going through a Shitty Misogyny Phase and have no idea how to talk to him about it because he's prone to getting hyper-defensive and strawmanning when things like this get pointed out.

started playing honkai star rail and i think it's so fun.

i also get to play it in my favorite place (bed) with iPad/controller combo. a piece of heaven

Apologies, totally forgot this part. I'm fine playing the female or the male! I do have a preference for the one doing the comforting but I'm happy to play the hurt part two or even two hurt people comforting each other.

I always have mixed feelings when people say this about others who don't want to thread anymore with flakes. On one hand, I get people should be kinder and more understanding of other people's situation. On the other, I think they should also be allowed to be upset when someone constantly drops things on them and not want to deal with that. Consideration goes both ways, and if you won't finish anything you start and just keep starting new things, then it isn't on the other person to keep the doors open.

this is a longshot but i'd really love to write some smut of dream witch/fem chars! favs are fiona, alice, mary, sangria but i'm open to any adult female characters. socks are fine, DM me!

The very simple answer is to let it go, anon. Do not pursue more tags with this person. You (general) have to also follow your bliss, but don’t have to get mad at someone for not meeting expectations. Close the door and find your happiness elsewhere. Stop starting new things when you know how it goes.

Rl > rp every time. That’s ok to not want to deal with, too. Gotta be responsible for yourself and only yourself.

I just need a jar of bog water, nothing fancy

I do 4 in a row, it's a Lot. Hopefully your job has some chill down time too.

fistbump. don't have good advice because i admittedly once lost a friend to this (i got real tired of having to point out bizarre boomer stereotypes in every conversation), but don't feel bad if you take a step back or abandon conversations; it is not your job to hold someone's hand and point out why offensive takes are offensive.

for a different yet infuriating flavor, instead of anger some are just flippant, and childishly baffled. what do you mean, their character only blurted out another character's deep secret in public, or said something shockingly sexist, or was creeping on someone. why is your character mad at theirs? why are you so serious about rp lmao~~

walk away entirely, anon. I think i know who they are, but even if it isn't her, the story always ends the same way:

nothing you say will ever help. she's gone through a slew of others who attempted to be supportive for her, and either driven them away, or dropped them when they weren't reassuring her over her daily hate spiral over roleplay. you'll burn yourself out before she'll ever change.

Fuck or die dubcon scenario. Two strangers wake up in a jamjar place where some immediate threat to their lives is apparent and the instructions they are given is that if they don't want to be dead in a few hours they have to do increasingly explicit tasks. Neither of them really want to be doing these things, but they want to die less, so they come to a mutual understanding that this bs has to get done and they comply. I'd prefer to emphasize the dubcon over straight up noncon, because the characters cooperating despite not wanting to is a big part of the appeal to me. I'm flexible on what exactly the threat is or what the tasks/etc are.

you're both right

i think you're projecting a bit tbh

Always looking for historical OCs from the Jazz Era, either originally 1920's flavour or AU'd, but also canon characters from the period, especially looking for characters from Downton Abbey, Miss Fischer's, Boardwalk Empire, Peaky Blinders and various Agatha Christie stuff!

If you've got anything like this hanging around your headspace, shoot me a PM and we can figure something out. Sylvie is an OC, info this way and permissions here.

Tropes I'd love to explore are arranged marriage/lavender marriage, soulmate au's, meet cute scenarios, royalty/commoner, bodyguard scenarios and similar! However, I can play both shipping and gen, actually preferring to start out with the latter and see how it develops. For shipping, I'm open to F/F and M/F with a slight F/F pref.

Thank you for your interest.

i'm glad you're having so much fun with it! imo, the characters just keep getting better and better as the game goes on, and in the current area that's just released in 2.0, all the characters are amazing. the events are also really fun as well, and as a new player you'll still be able to access the major events that happened in the past!

AYRT.

I'm willing to have them back in my life, but only if they tone it down and genuinely understand that I'm in a game. As long as I'm in a game, it's always going to be more important to tag back to than some silly TFLN or "Rate that ass" meme.

Their "why do I even bother?"/ "maybe I should just give and disappear and keep to myself." vague plurks broke the camels' back for me. And by the way, when I said the weekend was around the corner, anon, it was literally around the corner. I told them on a Friday to let's hold off until Saturday to rp together, and they threw a tantrum.

Picked up a character from an old-ish canon that I don't see many people playing from these days. Ended up shipping a rarepair with them. I've been looking around for a month or so now, but I can't find anyone who still plays from it that might want to thread this ship with me.

It's small potatoes, but I'm just feeling super bummed about it.

I agree with you, and most times I just don't ask for new things with them even for my friends because I don't want to be their fun dispenser only when they're available then get dropped in the middle of a thread repeatedly.

I think I just get tired of people treating like people who drop flakes being the one who isn't compassionate. Especially if the one accusing is the one who keeps flaking on you. Both sides are people behind a screen with their own lives and their own circumstances, and curating your own fun in the way that works best for you should be the default, not some weird stigma.

This shouldn't need to be said because we're all adults here but if you can't tell the difference between "I should be allowed to be upset" and "I should be responsible for what I do with my upset" then you need to do some growing. You can control your behavior and the words that come out of your mouth/fingertips, whatever your feelings. You cannot control other people, their behavior, or their circumstances so just put that to the side.

Manage your behavior better even if you're feeling hurt or inconvenienced. Full stop!

one of us one of us

glad you're having fun nonny!
