something big going down in clown town

Rundown: [community profile] 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.

as someone else pointed out, it's bc published works are basically pre-vetted

that doesn't mean they're good, blah blah fifty shades of whatever etc etc, but it does mean multiple people looked it over and said "a decent number of readers won't immediately write this off as schlocky," and then, on top of that, a prospective rper of a canon has to read it and find a character interesting to someone other than the author

none of that is true of ocs by default: they have no editors, and absolutely no one has to find them interesting apart from their creator -- so it's quite possible that the author of xyz manga is using characters or story beats to work through stuff, but other people have gone over it and found it interesting anyway

If you are still looking for this, I am very much interested. Could either play another pokegal (sadly I do not have a Cynthia to offer) sharing their mutual interest in pokephilia w/ Dawn, or simply play her (or wild?) pokemon.

The fact that we're not rping with the original authors is actually the main difference imo. Because this is ultimately more of an ooc issue than an ic one.

If Eiichiro Oda wrote Luffy from One Piece as having stretchy limbs because he's secretly deeply insecure about his own stubby arms, it doesn't matter, because Jane from Accounting is the one RPing Luffy. There's a degree of separation that renders whatever "purpose" the character may have been created to fulfill meaningless.

You can actually see this in play sometimes, such as characters who exist in canon for almost entirely fanservice purposes, being fleshed out as their own characters through rp.

Of course, people can absolutely imprint their own issues onto canon characters too, so it's not even an issue unique to OCs.

I could've written this myself. This was me for a handful of weeks after taking the equivalent of a two-month break. A switch flipped recently, and I feel established again. Keep going, keep being proactive; put yourself in other people's faces, tag into open starters and posts, and ask people to do things. You'll get back on the horse again and feel established once more, but you won't if you expect others to come to you — it's unfortunately not how it works.

The people who won't hold you needing to take time off will be there — connect with them and do things. (Some people will just be difficult to reconnect with, and that's fine; they'll soon see what they're missing out on.)

In the words of Dory: just keep swimming.

Ouai has a good anti-dandruff shampoo. It's kinda pricy but it works great.

Head and Shoulders is not a good one actually. it's so aggressive that it just causes even more dandruff in a lot of cases.
