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 feel like i've noticed...... lmao

good for you though. no reason not to if you enjoy it

+1 to the anon above me and tbh I think people should stop AI hunting artists and writers alike.

the mod has treated everyone they've interacted with like this so the whole burnout thing holds no water

I liked your game idea, fwiw!

aww this post is really relatable. you have rp partners who happily tag you back, so obviously you're a good enough writer that there's no reason to beat yourself up over your tags. not every tag is going to be a winner and that's ok, and most of the time it has nothing to do with the tag that went unanswered and everything to do with Person B's schedule, interest in the thread or (their own) character, or even their own insecurities. even the risky tags!

it's definitely worse at certain points in my cycle so you could look into that (fyi amabs have hormone fluctuations also). but tbh what helps me the most is anxiety medication, because it isn't just tags i spiral with

full sincerity mode here, this does beg the question on how to avoid mod burnout in the first place without being a jerkface. do you just write everything ahead of time or what?

+1, I'm still friends with some of the former players. And the reason why a lot of them dropped was because they or their friends were treated horribly. Not solely because they couldn't keep up the game or RL got in the way.

Just don't reply asap when you're emotional. If you're feeling overwhelmed at that second, you got to hit the brakes and breathe and relax. Lashing out is an emotional response to that exact moment, and you can act so much better if you take just five minutes to calm down before responding.

Also be honest with yourself. If you are feeling burnt out, accept it and trust your players to understand. Most players do these days because majority of us are old enough to know RP isn't everything and mods are just people. If you have to end the game early for your own mental health, do so. I have seen mods end games within a month and just be honest about it, and I don't recall them getting wanked over it. People get disappointed, but that would happen every time a game ends, no matter how close or far endgame is.

reposting!

the thirst is real, and i am seeking a childe to play out some shippy shenanigans with. i'll be offering wanderer (or scaramouche)!

in vein with most of their ship content, specifically interested in expanding on what was originally a fwb (coworkers with benefits? lmao) relationship between them. it could be in the thick of it during the scaramouche era, or afterwards when childe has forgotten everything but for some reason is very interested in this weirdly familiar stranger.

a combo of ship + smut would be peachy. pm this journal if interested!

1. Accept help when it's offered. Trek was very insistent on running the game theirself and never accepted offers of help with so much as checking AC/updating the taken list/generic regains. It was only in the last few months that player plots were allowed to take some of the pressure off, resulting in some pretty neat events.

2. Communicate with your players. For the love of god, don't ghost, go silent, offer snippy one-word responses to player questions without saying 'hey, I got some feelings going on.'

3. One of the things Trek did do that is worth (positive) note is they didn't always hold themself to a strict event schedule that was cramped and put extra pressure on them to deadline things. Sometimes things would go up later than anticipated. Sometimes a month would be event-light with more global effects in the setting than true events. That's okay! The players in Sail were very good at actively making their own fun.

reposting my comment from last post, please hit me up in pms if you're interested! <3 would love to play any of these or a combination of them

- any sort of slice-of-life in a high fantasy setting. focusing on the daily lives of people who happen to be living in a world full of magic; domesticity, jobs, food, the everyday realities of life, all that jazz. think studio ghibli vibes but less distinctly japanese and more western-type high fantasy, with elves and dragons and all that stuff

- slow burn romance that develops as the characters are forced by circumstances to spend a lot of time working together; maybe they're coworkers or members of the same organisation or whatever, maybe they're snowed in somewhere in the woods and have to keep the fire going and hunt for food and so on, maybe they're in the middle of a long-term project of some sort that has them working closely together... a romantic relationship built on mutual respect for the other's skills, passion, and competence

- i'm weirdly self-conscious about how vanilla this is, but. size difference. i want to play a tiny lady with a big partner; partner's gender doesn't matter to me, i just want them to be able to easily lift her and carry her around, to be like two feet taller than her, that kind of stuff. smut would be delightful but completely optional

gotcha. well, no harm no foul in my book.

When will I get to write topping again, anons? Tomorrow? Next week? In 84 years?

I know it's on me to keep trying to find an RP partner but I thirst. I'll keep at it.

newbie here just chiming in to say that i love everyone in this bar, old and new

Ceremony and Devotion - Ghost

Not usually big on listening to live recordings but it is taking me back to seeing them live. The energy is different than just listening to the albums.

op

i saw this when i woke up and the bit about the shadows to one's personality made me feel a whole lot better (and reminded me that i really ought to replay p4 sometime, lol). being gentle with myself has always been something i've struggled with, so the reminder to stand back and be kind to myself objectively was a lot more helpful than i realized... it's been a while since i've had therapy for these kinds of things, so thank you for the reminder.

op

oof, the reminder to take my own meds... maybe i should talk to my psych about starting me on anxiety medication again. let me go get the depression pills in though...

knowing that i'm not alone in these things — that there are at least two other nonnies out there who sweat bullets over these types of tags enough to reply here — actually does help a lot. i hope we thread someday so i can happily field whatever dangerous notions you might have!

WHUPPED

BATMAN'S AAAASSSS

i always have more luck finding people who want a top than people who want a bottom or a switch! i mostly play switches, maybe we'll run into one another in the wilds.

where else did they get banned? i thought it was just emp

Here.

Pls delete if too off topic but i love these threads

akira toriyama died and i'm bummed out beyond all words

I had to wonder if I wrote this in my sleep. All I can say is that you're not alone, nonnie! I agree with first nonnie's advice (and will be taking it on board myself).

Sometimes, what I do is float the insecurity by a few of my good friends and ask if they've ever felt that way. Most of the time, they have! It always helps me to know that I'm not alone.

But please consider this a "You're not alone" comment, too. ♥ You rock, nonnie, and I wish I could rp with you!

i hate that i've reached the age where the people who defined my childhood are passing away
