RPC self-care

We all get worn down by life and often we turn to RP for rejuvenation. But more than once I've seen people on here that find themselves burnt out on the RP community itself. With nearly 20 years of role playing under my belt, I thought I'd share some of my favourite self-care tricks.

Block people. You don't have to explain yourself and 'weird vibes' is a legitimate reason. You deserve to feel safe and unbothered in your hobby space, and RP is based on consent. Just like with any recreational activity, you can withdraw your consent at any time and no is a complete sentence.

Turn off anon. This prevents anonymous harassment and gives you great insight into who to block or report if you get non-anonymous harassment.

Drop threads. I know RP etiquette suggests you need to tell your RP partner when and why, and sure, if they ask politely you can give it a go - just know that a pre-written variant of 'not feeling it' is good enough. In my humble opinion, I think dropping boring or vexing threads is everyone's prerogative and doesn't require explanation. Again, no is a complete sentence.

Talk it out. If you like the thread but things took a turn you didn't like, it's time to bring the RP into the workshop. Something like 'Hey I really like our RP so far but I'm losing my spark, can we talk about course correcting where the plot is going?'

Make clear rules and revise them frequently. I'd also advise against spending said rules excusing or explaining why you don't like or want a certain thing - I cannot stress enough how your preferences are not up for debate.

Get comfy chasing. A lot of RP is about inviting others to play over and over and over. Rejection is a part of it. See if you can't find some element of self-care in it - taking rejection well is a great skill to practice in such a low stake environment.

Notice and celebrate the good stuff, instead of digging holes about the bad. Tell your co-players how great they are. Marvel at all the hard work you put into your muses and graphics. Admire your own blog.

Stop. Take a break. Check in with yourself. Do you actually need to face something in IRL? Do you need to rest? A snickers? A walk? Don't bother with posts á la 'offline for the day' - leave your options open to reduce guilt or shame if you want to poke your head back in.

Happy writing. 🌿

Timon watched as the cub scampered after the butterfly, about to call out to him ('Don't go too far'), stopping himself at the last second. He didn't wanna sound like...well, his ma. He bit his tongue, feeling the nudge from Pumbaa, bracing himself for the lecture.

"That's the thing! Ya weren't there! Ya didn't see it before! IT WAS--" He paused, hastily glancing at Simba in the distance and lowering his voice. "It was real bad, trust me. Look, ya don't know the guy! He's a total jerk an' he could've done much worse an' I wasn't gonna let that happen! I mean, what was I s'posed to do? Not stand up for my kid? Please..."

It wasn't like that mook hadn't hit him either. He still had the bite marks from their first brawl and his tail gave an angry twitch every time he thought about it. (Including now.) It worsened at Pumbaa's next suggestion, his jaw unhinging.

"WHAT?"

He wasn't serious, was he? Having that jerk over for dinner? The very idea--! For a moment, all he could do was gawk up at his companion before he found his voice again.

"No way! I'm not invitin' him over here! He'll probably spend the whole time yappin' about himself an' bein' a giant pain in the you know what! Who wants to listen to that? Not this guy!"

"Simba, see that butterfly over there?" Simba nodded watching it flutter around and situate itself on a leaf. "Can you go catch it? It's part of our dinner." "Okay!"

As soon as the cub took off, Pumbaa turned back to Timon pushing him away with his snout to create more distance between the lion and their conversation just so they wouldn't be overheard. "Timon, I didn't really see his face but I DO know one thing." He began slowly. "We're raising Simba and we've gotta set a good example for him. You don't want him getting seriously injured and have that on your conscious because he tried copying you do you?"

The warthog only knew bits and pieces of the tale but one thing was also clear. Centipede wasn't in charge of a kid. They were. "I think we should have him over for dinner soon." the hog mused aloud as he sat down. "That way everybody can be present and we can put our pasts behind us."

"I got it!" Simba called out. "It's...kinda crushed but I think it'll work." "That's great, Simba! See if you can find four big leaves now. We might be having company later." Pumbaa sighed turning back to Timon. "Just how bad was his face? Because it looks just fine and he seems to be pretty happy from the looks of things."

Timon was so caught up in the groove, making the puppet twist and flail around, he hadn't realized that his choice of words was...not the greatest. He stopped short, (and the puppet did the same), mentally chiding himself before trying to assure the cub that everything was okay.

"Heyyy...hey, it's all right. There's no fire here. See? Everything's cool, buddy."

There the toddler goes watching the meerkat puppet break it down to a funky beat. He's not sure what to make of it at all nor what to really feel about the entire dance sequence as a whole. It was odd and yet amusing at the same time. The way the arms and fingers rhythmically flailed about. However, it was when he heard the word fire that Simba became nervous. He didn't want his new puppet friend to get hurt! So naturally, he starts to cry thinking that something was going to happen. "No! No fire!"
