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.

What are these "more relatable ordinary people" canons that you'd prefer to see in dwrp?

[(Anonymous)]

SOL anime, maybe? 🤔

The Love Hypothesis?

the extended Hallmark Christmas movie universe?

[(Anonymous)]

NA

I can easily think of some very popular "ordinary" canons that lots of people know but aren't really DW popular:
The Bear, The Sopranos, Mad Men, Fargo, Baby Reindeer, Fellow Travellers. Sitcoms like The Big Babg Theory (I know, sorry), The Office, or Friends. Hospital or crime serials like Grey's Anatomy, Bones, House MD, How To Get Away With Murder, CSI. Teen netflix romance (eg Love Simon, To All The Boys I've Loved Before). Classic novels. Slice of life anime, non-powered stuff like NANA or K-on!, I think sports anime is a little more popular here - honestly the more I think about animes the more I feel like maybe paradoxically that's where all the No Powers players are.

are you an ai chatbot or are you just naturally bad at understanding questions?

[(Anonymous)]

sa actually i apologize, you might genuinely have the bad taste to want to see people repping sheldon and the big bang theory here on dwrp

[(Anonymous)]

people do rp the bear, house, fellow travellers, etc

it's not as common as more fandom-oriented stuff but it's not unheard of

big bang theory and shit like that would get laughed out though

[(Anonymous)]

doubtful. i've seen a few characters in my years on lj and dw. people do play from comedic canons.

[(Anonymous)]

sure, but bbt isn't comedic and it's specifically hated and mentioning it is why another anon thought the comment was trolling

[(Anonymous)]

I've seen quite a few NANA and K-on! folk over the years actually.

[(Anonymous)]

i've seen people playing from every single one of those canons within the last few months so it goes to show what you know about dwrp

[(Anonymous)]

i think their broader point is stupid too, but they explicitly said these canons aren't popular in dwrp, not that they're not represented at all. they're right.

[(Anonymous)]

ok

[(Anonymous)]

who is playing from mad men 🥺

da

[(Anonymous)]

i actually have a don account i took out a handful of times, mostly to tag into meme top levels.

[(Anonymous)]

da

the ones i've seen have been don and joan, but it wouldn't surprise me to see others.

[(Anonymous)]

i saw duck and peggy a while ago

I tried playing Ginsberg for a few months before the nipplegate episode, and my friend knows someone who was better at it and played him for longer. Plus I've definitely seen Dons and Joans around.

[(Anonymous)]

You say that stuff like classic novels or Mad Men are "ordinary" canons, but depending on the game or meme, someone like Jean Valjean is going to be seen as an outlier/novel/not ordinary/etc. because he doesn't know what a fucking phone is. "Ordinary" is entirely context dependent.

heat (1995)

Sitcoms, plenty of movies, plenty of series, all the slice of life content under anime including idols, sports, school, office etc. There are tons of non-powered content that focuses on regular people.
