rpanons | Makin' my blorbos smooch is what gets me through the hard times

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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

- do you listen to the character playlists you come across?

- do you make playlists for your characters or ships?

- yes but i'm very picky, if they have songs on there that i don't think are a good vibe for the character i stop listening because they're clearly wrong about them

- yes all the time, with the correct choices (obviously). my spotify wrapped is a disaster area for random songs from my hyperfixation of the moment

-yes and then i get mad bc my music taste is too picky for someone who's constantly thirsting for new things to listen to

-no bc i'm lazy and busy getting mad at other people's music

- no and yes. i listen to playlists by one person because i know we have similar tastes. everyone else isn't good enough. i don't wanna hear it, but i'm happy that they made a playlist anyway

- yes. my playlists are fire but i bet ppl look at them and scoff. these ppl are tone deaf and misguided

- no because I don't care rly about other people posturing over their deep cut picks

- yes but they are private I don't share that shit because who cares about my taste in music and how it relates to my blorbo

idk I think it's all a bit self important tbh

ik it's kind of the point of this thread but you somehow managed to sound just genuinely like a miserable person to be around

or maybe...it's just a fun little exercise if you like listening to music and like thinking about your characters?

not everything has to be about posturing anon.....

hahaha wtf

watch out we got a badass here

- yeah i'll check them out if i stumble on them. i like finding new music and sometimes there will be something new to me that slaps

- i like making playlists of my own for characters i've been playing awhile. less for sharing around, i rarely post em anywhere...but i'll throw it on to help me get into the tag groove

Yes and yes because I like music.

yes. it doesn't happen much but it's always fun when that happens.

nope. i rarely seem to really notice, if a song applies. but i got a whole folder of poems that remind me of my characters.

aw the poetry thing is lovely, anon. i need to read more poetry

+1 to the poetry

who are your favorite poets for finding character related material?

i ask because some bands' lyrics tend to be easier to slap onto character trauma than others, so i figure poets may be the same

- no, you guys have mediocre elder millennial hipster taste no matter the genre :(

- no

what's your taste anon

thats like complaining because a dog likes dog food.

-i don't listen to the whole thing but sometimes i check out the lyrics to see how they fit the character

-never made one for ships. for my characters, only like... two or three times since I started in lj. this is not counting info posts with singer character's canon songs.

- sometimes

- yeah but i get self conscious about my limited music knowledge bc my taste leans mostly instrumental and the amount of bands that do tracks with lyrics that i know can be counted on maybe four hands tops

instrumentals are great tho! what kind of instrumentals do you like, anon?

- sometimes when i pick up a new character i look up character playlists other people made and it makes me happy when i know i have the vibes right by the song choices and i might find new songs for my playlists like this

- i have several very big playlists for all of my characters! making a playlist for a character is pretty much the sign that a new character has achieved blorbo status and we're in deep

no

no

i don't understand their appeal admittedly. like i know people said it helps set the mood or it makes them think of the character or something but it has never worked that way for me.

same with having pinterest boards or image collages and the likes.

- back when 8tracks was fully functional, yeah, or at least I'd often check out playlists for characters from canons I was into if I came across them. (most of the characters I actually rp are OCs adapted from tabletop, so.) I've never gotten into it the same way with spotify, but maybe I should?

- if I've been playing a character long enough then yeah almost guaranteed. I also like the challenge of trying to follow the old 8tracks rules with them. playlists for ships not so much, though a character's canon (from their original tabletop game, with OCs) relationship(s) will def inform their playlist.

itt: i miss you 8tracks 😔

-no, but mostly because I'm a basic bitch and I don't like a lot of super indie music that a lot of people seem to be into :( this also bothers me when I take those silly uquizzes because I never know any of the songs in the lyrics question and the lyrics just don't hit me as much when I don't know or like the song

-barely, I usually only associate like two or three songs with a character and that makes for a boring playlist...

I think the problem is that I just don't listen to enough music. I only got Spotify in 2018 and to this day I have only short over 1k songs saved.
