Rundown: rpanons is an anonymous community for fictional character 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.
Do not solicit money, Dreamwidth points, or other currency unless you are offering a good or service in return.
Discussion of or soliciting RP for celebrities or other non-fictionalized versions of real people is not allowed.

Re: ITT: NAME A THING YOU DON'T GET AND SOMEONE WILL EXPLAIN THE THING

i feel like it's escapism and wish-fulfillment in the same way that a lot of fantasy scenarios are. okay, sure, going and grabbing a coffee is a far more accessible activity than being chosen by a magic artefact to go and save the kingdom and woo a bunch of maidens in the process...but we always have so much background shit going on in our lives, always something to be stressed out about. like the fact that coffee is so expensive now, and if i buy the fucking coffee i ACTUALLY want and not a plain black americano (which is STILL overpriced), couldn't i have put that money towards something more productive? i'm skint as-is.

...but sometimes just putting your character within the peaceful mundane and writing a scene off of it can be just as if not more relaxing than doing the damn thing yourself, because writing makes you look through someone else's eyes and notice all of the little enjoyable things you might not have when you were getting scam-called in the line at the Starbucks and then they made your drink wrong. your character goes to Starbucks and they fall madly for the barista, and when they spill their coffee because they're so dumbfounded and tripping up over themselves, that's cute comic relief and not "aw hell i should have just saved the money for bus fare after all"

i might not be selling this and might just be making myself sound very sad. anyway,

mundane slice of life stuff can definitely get stale after a bit. personally i feel it's more like...a nice breather. something to dip into now and again that's low effort and enjoyable without being taxing. good for when you've got a lot of irl stressors and you just want something low-key and maybe a lil sappy or shippy or silly. but also The Character is at the center of all of this. for example i hated my university years and am in no rush to relive it, but i have some characters whom i'd love to write some school years scenes with because they never got to experience that kind of mundane life in their canons...i think it would be interesting to watch them go from hard-knock circumstances to a comparatively chilled out school life and see how they cope with the change of pace, plus get to see how they handle getting to make friends and having to balance their schoolwork after years of fantastical anime teenage protag bullshit.
