I don't think my partner is interested in roleplaying with me anymore. Pretty much all of our threads lately have ended prematurely because their muse just… left the scene. What am I supposed to do with that?

There should be an automatic post limiter for the dash, some sort of filter so the same person who does quick and 2 sentence replies is not all that I ever see.

Hardcore kink rp blogs seem to write the best open starters in the tags. Not all, but nearly everyone that seems like it could be an actually interesting plot is incest, pseudo-incest, cheating, bdsm, drama… while the "pure mun" starters are usually one line like "Where can I find the next toilet? also big boob girl breathing gif" and I'm like… I don't want to write smut, but I also don't just want rp that's dry white bread. So where do I go?

I'm not interested in your drama with some other rper. Stop trying to get random muns involved. Stop sending anons telling other muns to block this rper. I deal with enough drama in real life, I don't need it here

I don't blame the personals who clap right back and ban RP blogs from reblogging their posts because an RP blog came at them in a bitchy way for accidentally reblogging a thread. In all the cases I've seen the personals just wanting to appreciate the writing, and they don't know every single rule the RPC has. You can scream "THEN THEY NEED TO LOOK THROUGH MY BLOG AND READ MY RUUUULES" like a banshee all you want. This site wasn't and most likely never will be RP-focused. And not every personal is intentionally looking to start shit like "Hurhur I reblog what you say not to to trigger the rpc >:)" Some people need to settle down lmao.

If you are triggered by a certain topic then don't follow a blog that heavily features that topic. If an integral part of my muse is a trigger for you, there's no way we can possibly RP together. I'm not going to change my muse's backstory or personality just to write with you.

Comparing my long-term writing partners of 7 years to the ones I made last year, there was a very clear difference and I have the sinking feeling that it will persist: My old partners put a ton of work into our threads. We chat, we plot, we're silly, we send memes, we built the relationship between our muses, we explore AUs and whatnot. It's very satisfying. Whereas, 90% of the new people I encountered last year had an entirely different approach: Writing back and forth with you when your muses click and at first it's fun, letting the ooc talk fade out as soon as we actually want to plot, then ignoring everything we ever wrote or wanted to write in favour of a different writer and muse to whom they do exactly the same. And often, it's based on which show or movie is currently trending before they discard their partners and move on to the next one, when something new airs. Letting your inspiration direct your creative flow and responses is one thing. But in my humble opinion, these RP flings are very unsatisfying and do nothing to enrich the experience in the long run. But then again… that's not what those writers have in mind, anyway. I'm just glad I managed to establish a circle of partners who I know I can always write with. Others, especially newbies, don't have that luxury in this environment. Good luck, everyone.

At this point I rather use AI images than deal with this bullshit drama over whatever faceclaims I took from the internet to portray my muses visually. I don't have the skills to draw and not the money to pay an artists. And I'm tired getting picked on because xyz faceclaim is 'problematic', 'overused' or any other poison of choice. These ppl being absolutely hysteric about faceclaims drive more and more into using AI now to deal with this.

I'm so tired of this person that wants so much from my canon muses for their OC… for them to avoid my OC's… They would often "lose muse" whenever it's their turn to return favor… But yet they shower other people their OC's with attention. This genuinely hurts so much because these people aren't pouring as much effort as I do. I think to just quit musing canons. This is just not worth it.

I'm done feeling virtually unwanted here. I log on and just get ignored by 99% of people. If it wasn't for one person who actually makes me feel like I matter, I would just give up on this hobby. The amount of appreciation I have for that person is overwhelming. I miss logging on and actually feeling like I belonged here. (and no, I'm not acting like I expect people to jump at the chance to write with me when I log on or some shit. I just wish if I posted a hello or a meme or a starter call, it would actually get some kind of acknowledgement instead of being ignored while everyone else writes with each other. Just acknowledge that I exist?)

I keep flopping between writing my canons because I enjoy them and being in the mindset of 'if you don't like me at my OCs, then you don't deserve me at my canons' and I hate it. I genuinely do enjoy writing a lot of my canon characters just for the sake of it, but there's also points where it feels like I'm giving more than I get and getting anything in return for my OCs is a bitch and a half, especially if its with the people that want and want and want from my canons. I just don't know what to do about it and I'm getting burned out on my favorite canon muses

Pardon if this is me misunderstanding the situation. But I don't really see the point in making public posts announcing that you're dropping threads and listing the people you're dropping them with along with links to the threads. This, to me, feels like a personal matter that really doesn't need to be broadcast to every person following you -- a situation where you should instead just message the person directly to be like "Hey, I'm not feeling this thread anymore, would you mind if we dropped it and tried something else?" Why does everyone need to know about this when it happens?

"I am going to deactivate my blog I swear" or just general threatening to deactivate their blog. do people think this kind of threat will get them more interactions?? seriously? it has the opposite effect. what you are doing is chasing everybody away. not a single person wants to start interacting with someone who is threatening to deactivate their blog. it's a waste of time to get invested in threads with someone who is saying that on the dash. even if you don't mean it and you never will, it's the fact that you are STILL threatening to do it, so nobody will want to invest threads and interaction with you because they don't want to invest in something that'll just be deleted on a whim.

I know that most role players want to have followers who interact with them, but sometimes the reason someone whose blog or rules conflict with yours IF you rped together follows you is because they like your writing or headcanons or whatever. It's not a big deal. Just rp with the folks you want to rp with, let the others have fun following your hijinks. If they aren't having fun, they can unfollow.

Them: I’d love to write with [insert male muse name here]! He seems so interesting! Me: Perfect! Thanks so much! What kind of dynamic would you like? Just so you know, he’s only available for m/m ships but I’d love any kind of platonic interaction with your muse :) Them: Oh, ok. Well how about [other muse name] instead? Tell me you only want to ship without telling me you only want to ship. If my guy was that interesting to you, you wouldn’t bail as soon as a ship was off the cards (though it proves you didn’t read his bio too).

45 followers, and I have 0-4 likes on my last 3 headcanon posts. And 0 likes on my starter calls. And no memes in my inbox. I did send memes, I like stuff I see. But it is not returned. Please, if you don't have the energy to do simple things as liking posts or send memes, take a break and don't waste our time…

Every time I start connecting to someone in the community, I tell myself not to get attached. Then I fail and get attached and then they inevitably leave or fall away, reminding me again why I shouldn't make friends.
