#how to tumblr rp | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

If someone were to want to start roleplay blogging on here, how would you advise they start?

FASCINATING question, I won't lie tumblr rp blogging is a bit convoluted but I'll give a go at writing a start up guide!

First; choose your muse! (Muse here means the character you are playing, as apposed to the 'mun' which is you the writer) This is harder than you might expect since the advent of the multimuse blog boom, but if you're just starting I would recommend picking a character you both really like AND can easily put in situations. Trust me, being a 'no AU or crossover' rper on here is a trial.

Second; Make a blog for that muse! Now listen, people have managed to make rp side blogs from their personal fandom blog and rp that way, but trust me it's a major hassle and it is best to keep your personal account and your rp account seperate. This however does mean you need to make an account with a whole different email etc etc it's a massive pain BUT it's short term for great benefit. Now! The things you 100% need on your rp blog somewhere easily accessible;

- RULES! Take a look through other peoples blogs and their rules to get a kind of idea of the point of them and keep updating your own as you go!

- Information about your muse, who they are, a blurb about them especially if they're an original character, and any canon divergences or specific HC's you have for the canon ones.

- VERSES! I know this sounds like a late game thing, but try to divide up your muse's life into defined sections depending on massive changes in their life or character so people can get an idea of what they'll be rping against. And think about how you want to adapt your muse into different universes that you might want to rp in and make 'AU verses' out of them, it'll expand the numbers of people you can interact with immensely.

Third! Find people to follow; Again this can be harder than you might expect, rp communities are all connected by thin threads and you'll find more people as you play. But in general just typing '(fandom name) rp' into tumblr search will get you somewhere. Find blogs you like the look of, check their rules to make sure it's all good and follow them. If they follow you back, congrats! You have a mutual and now you can do things like send them meme sentence starters when they reblog them or like their starter calls (posts that say' starter call' somewhere that you like and the person might write you a starter rp post from their character to yours)

Fourth; Roleplay! So, people will have different preferences in terms of rp length and type, but in general all replies should have three things;

-something for the other person to reply too, an action or comment originating from your muse that they can reasonably turn into a reply. Try to make sure you're not just reacting to what happened in the previous reply, engage with it too, and if you can't then go back to your rp partner and see if you can work something out over IM's.

- An acknowledgement of who you are interacting with. This can be anything, but try not to get too caught up in your characters response that you forget who they're responding too. In general characters won't react the same with a child as with a 1000 year old vampire or whatever etc, respond to WHO your partner is, keep it unique for all your partners and you'll all have a good time!

-Something for you! You have to leave your sense of cringe at the door in this business, think about what things make you enjoy your muse as a character and include them in your replies, even if it's just drawing attention to a particularly cool scar or whatever, your partner will engage with it and then you'll be excited to reply next time!

RP Courtesies to remember!

- If you see someone reblog a sentence meme post, try to send them something from it before you reblog it yourself. It's just polite and makes sure people are getting interactions.

- If someone's written a starter for you, like it before you put it in your drafts. Even if you never reply to it, it polite to just let them know you've seen it at least!

- Don't pester people for replies, everyone's busy and replies are a fickle business.

- Tag anything that's not roleplaying or HC posts or the like as 'ooc' so people can keep their dashes clear for just rp if they wish too.

- Don't reblog other people's rp threads!!! tumblr rp relies a lot on notifications and messing with it can make it difficult to see when you need to respond.

Thats all I can think of for now! Hope it was helpful

Here you have it! Apologies for the delay in posting this on day 1, I hurt my back pretty bad, and then had to fight a couple different tools and websites to get a decent layout for this to look nice. Take whatever approach is most fun for you, with this!

#mayqo'te #gpose #gpose challenge #miqo'te #ffxiv gpose #gposers #ffxiv #ffxiv rp #ffxiv screenshots #tumblr killed the image quality #but I still got this stupid chart thing done despite all the pain - literal and metaphorical #since Miqomarch tends to do VERY specific XIV related prompts that are similar year to year...I wanted to make something not so XIV-relate #but they can be whatever you want them to be! Interpret words how you want!#the Mayqo'te poll has spoken!#most ppl voted for 3 prompts a week - but the dual prompts lets ppl do more if they want to!

So apparently, according to to Emma Tammi (director for FNAF movie) Foxy's arm spontaneously combusted once on set?? It’s honestly so fitting for him lmao. So, I thought this ancient #drawthesquad meme was perfect for this.

And yes, I saw the movie, and I can honestly say I liked it a lot. There was much left to be desired however.

PSA: THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT BLACKLIST TAGGING

About Tumblr's Filtering Options:

Tumblr's tag filtering can only filter out the exact tag as is actually on the post.

Wildcards (*) do not work with tumblr's tag filtering system. As such, blacklisting #*example* to catch as many possible different tags as possible doesn't work. Even if it did, it would also then pose the same false positive issue as content filtering. Exact wording is important!

Correct spelling is necessary for tag filtering to work. Do not censor your tags.

Symbols and fancy copypaste fonts do not usually work in the tag filtering system.

Neither do they tend to work in URLs, meaning your tags might not work for navigation on your own blog.

Tumblr's post content filtering searches for exactly what the user asks to be filtered.

This may lead to false positives if the filtered word is part of another, unrelated word (example: posts about "writers" will be filtered for people who block "rite").

Tumblr's post content filtering is limited to 200 filtered words and/or phrases.

Both systems only support adding filters one at a time, and only to one system at a time. This can be both time-consuming and/or exhausting for some people to do, whereas it takes less time and energy for you to tag in a simplified manner.

for more information: Tag and Post Content Filtering [Tumblr Help Center]

----------

How Many, Many People Wish Content Warnings To Be Tagged:

______ tw

______ cw

______

Nothing more, and nothing less. If your posts even mention a thing, simply tag it as that thing, because each extra word you add to your tags is another tag that has to be filtered.

It is more helpful to have it tagged as the full content itself for filtering, and you state in the body of the post and/or in additional tags that it is only a mention, vaguely referenced, etc. rather than explicit descriptions and/or details.

Birds of a Feather

(closed RP with @muuuumin)

Things were not going according to plan.

Tim really didn’t like it when things didn’t go according to plan.

Sadly, that was the nature of Gotham City, which was exactly why Tim had backup plan after backup plan, accounting for every conceivable variable. He’d written an algorithm just for this case. There was a stack of paperwork heavier than Tim was.

And yet, somehow, none of that accounted for faulty construction of the barrier along the route Tim expected to chase the criminal along, and just like that all 27 of Tim’s backup plans went out the window, and he and this thug were tearing through the streets of Gotham City.

Fortunately, Tim had always been quick. Maybe not quite as strong as some of the other bats, but he was balanced in agility, which was useful when it came to jumping over the wooden palettes that had been knocked in his way.

He’d been chasing this guy for months, the leader of a trafficking ring that made Tim’s stomach turn with each new detail he learned. Finally, Tim had him… nearly. Weeks of careful planning were reduced to instinct, fueled by the base knowledge that whatever happened, he had to catch this guy. Because of that, he wasn’t particularly paying attention to where the man was running, only that Tim needed to catch up to him.

Tim was getting close. His chest burned with it, but he was closing the distance. The leader was about three times Tim’s size, but that made him slow, which Tim used to his advantage.

One last turn lead them down a long alley with far fewer obstacles to jump over, and Tim took that as his chance. Putting one last burst of energy into moving forward, he could reach out and touch the man before him. So, he did. He leapt forward and used all his momentum to send the both of them tumbling to the ground, pinning the man’s arms behind him.

“Get off- you little shit,” the criminal squirmed violently, pinned face down as he was. Tim was fully sitting on his back, using his entire body weight to keep him down and frankly unconvinced that was enough. Tim was strong, but he couldn’t hold someone like this forever. “I ain’t getting taken down by some pipsqueak-ass kid. I’ll fucking kill you.”

Tim used his position to secure handcuffs around the man’s wrists, trying to catch his breath. He might’ve secured them a little tighter than necessary, but knowing what this man did Tim frankly didn’t feel bad about it.

Things hadn’t gone exactly according to plan, but Tim had gotten the criminal in the end. This would just serve as… something to keep in mind for the next time he had to make a plan. Always double check the strength of the barricades along the predicted potential chase route.

Breathless and full of adrenaline, Tim forgot another much more important rule: Always pay attention to where your target is leading you.

#jaytim rp #Is the title overused? Possibly- but I couldn't come up with anything else lol #I haven't rped on Tumblr in years so idk how to format an rp post #Hopefully this is correct? Eh I'm sure if I mess it up someone will let me know

apocalypse au. cannibalism. corpses. Offscreen loss of loved ones

-

“Some leather armour,” Bad notes, tugging curiously at the straps of the corpse’s armour. “Euagh, almost broken, though.” The armour gets tossed to the side. “A granola bar? Okay, we’ll take that.”

Cellbit twitches at that. He wants to ask, “Do we have to?” but there’s several reasons why he doesn’t. Protesting a backup food supply is never a good idea, for one. It’s not worth it to risk starvation just because he’s worried that the backup food supply will become their primary. He tightens his hold on the bloody sword and insists again. It’s not worth it. Instead, he says, voice rasping, “There’s too many. It’s all going to rot.”

“You think so?” Bad looks up at him, then runs a critical eye over the little encampment. Ten bodies, some larger, but all fat deposits slimmed by lasting hunger. Bad licks at the blood left on his hand from looting the corpse, considering their haul thoughtfully. “I don’t think things rot that fast, Cellbit.”

He twitches again when Bad says his name. It wasn’t an admonishment- it was barely even an opinion Cellbit should validate, knowing how long it takes Bad to consider something rotten -but there is something yearning and grieving and desperate slinking between the muscle fibers of his heart that squirms to hear that disagreement. He’s shaking. He hasn’t stopped shaking. He wants to bite the edge of his sword hard enough that his teeth will crack into sharpened splinters. He wouldn’t need the sword, then. “I don’t- we should cook it,” he says. “Some.”

Bad snaps his fingers triumphantly, as though he’d remembered something. “Pre-digestion!” he exclaims so loudly that Cellbit flinches. No birds fly away- they’ve already been scared off. “Oh! You want to save some for later? Yeah, sure, we can do that. But we should eat what doesn’t fit in the car.” Cellbit doesn’t know how to explain that he can’t eat as much as much as Bad. Not even cooked. It fills him with- it’s not envy but it isn’t not envy, either. Some dissatisfaction.

Back in the— when he was small Cellbit had always assumed that it was Bad’s size that lead him to take the larger portion of their meals. It made sense, and he always got his fill so he was happy with it. Then, when he was grown, it was frustrating. Bad could eat an entire corpse in one sitting; Cell couldn’t even get through an entire leg. He’d realized then, gnawing at bone and just waiting to be done, that Bad couldn’t have possibly eaten an entire corpse. It was childish dreams made memory, morphed by the horror and the trauma and the things he didn’t think about. And now they’ve met up again, and these are their first corpses but Cellbit knows that despite their looting Bad’s share of the resources are always depleted, even when they come across a feast and- The clever part of him is wondering how much he’s really misremembered after all.

Bad seems oblivious to Cellbit’s thoughts. “We can smoke some of this and it’ll last you a bit longer,” he suggests thoughtfully, starting to dig through the corpse’s clothes again. “It might take us some extra time, but this place is safe enough that they set up camp, and we don’t know when we’ll get the chance again. Good idea. Do you want to carve the meat or set up the smoker?”

The thing in Cellbit’s heart writhes almost giddily at the praise. He thinks that he hates it. He misses when he could fool himself into thinking he deserved it. “The meat,” rasps its way out of his throat, proving him right.

Bad lights up. Cellbit can immediately tell that he’s up to something. “In that case- I have something for you that might make it… a little bit easier.”

“What is it?”

“Close your eyes!” The bleeding part of him wails at the thought of the vulnerability, but this is Bad. He’s only alive because of him. Fitting to die because of him, too. Cellbit closes his eyes and continues to shake. The back of his teeth are dry. There’s the sound of rustling as Bad does whatever, and then a triumphant, “Ta-da~!” Cellbit gratefully takes this as his cue to open his eyes again.

Badboyhalo is holding a knife.

Badboyhalo is holding a kitchen knife. Thumb and fingers pinching either side of the blade, handle out, an offering. It’s clean, except where Bad’s hands have stained it red.

Cellbit had been calm, before, the way you are when you’re doing what you were made for. Then he had been satisfied, and excited, and then jittery and bad and happy and satisfied and dreadful. Longing and hatred and benediction and fulfillment. The sight of the knife fades all of that out. When he grabs it, those feelings turn to static. Still there, still hunting him, but forced to back away in the face of its armed prey. The world smooths out a little and hurts a bit less.

Badboyhalo has given him a knife.

“Bad-“ he says, and doesn’t choke up about it.

Bad smiles at him. Bad beams at him. “I was waiting for a good time to give it to you. I know you’ve got your sword, but I remember you telling me that knives are your favourite. Is that still true?”

Overwhelmed, Cellbit nods a little. “Thank- thank you. Obrigado, Bad.”

“De nada!” Bad chirps, cheerful as anything. He pats Cellbit on the shoulder, gently, as his tone shifts. “The sky is still blue, Cellbit. Remember that.”

He wanders away before Cellbit can bring himself to mutter, “Mas às vezes está nublado.” But it’s just Cellbit now, and his knife, and the bodies, and no one living can hear him.

He’s already dropped the sword, he realizes abruptly, clinging to his knife with both hands. He needs to pick it up and clean it before the blood coagulates. There is meat in front of him, still warm and waiting to be processed. Still, he manages to pick up the sword and wipe it in the vicinity of cleanliness on the body’s clothes, his other hand still clinging to his knife. He cuts the clothes, and drops the sword to the side.

When the knife cuts flesh, he starts to grin again. The world turns into a loving red, and he gets to work.

-

Bad feels bad.

He doesn’t dwell on it. Guilt or grief- they both started with g. It’s probably even better, even, feeling guiltier than griefier! Take away the question of accountability entirely, hold control, do what he has to do. And he has to do this.

The log in Bad’s hands cracks. He giggles at it, then takes several quick breaths as tears rapidly pool in his eyes. He doesn’t wipe them, just carefully lays the log down into his makeshift fireplace.

Bad doesn’t like hurting his friends. It’s like a bad prank that leaves lasting damage; it leaves a bad taste in his mouth. But it’s not really all that bad, all things considered. Bad isn’t hurting him or putting him in more danger. If anything, Cellbit is safer with him. They’ve done this before- anything Cellbit can’t eat, Bad can, and they know Cellbit can eat Bad. It’s better. It’s what needs to be done.

There’s a loud lowing in the distance. Bad stills as he listens to it. Out of the corner of his eye, he notices Cellbit still carving. They found someone else tonight. Bad feels some tension leak from between his shoulderblades. They’ll be fed and full, and slow in the morning. Cellbit and Bad will have more than enough time to get packed up after a rest.

Cellbit has someone left. Bad is giving him a gift, but he can’t give it yet. Bad knew exactly what he would do if it turned out his own loved ones were still around, and he knows what Cellbit would do, too.

If Cellbit knew that Roier was still alive, he’d leave.

#it has been a While since ive watched cellbit i reserve the right to be incorrect about characters 🙏#theres a lot goin on rn but as i said when in doubt write cannibalism #throwing these guys at each other in my big ol sandbox #anyway CANNIBALISM #APOCALYPSE #CODEPENDANCY!!#one of my fave things pre purg was when cellbit and bad had That Talk and i fuckin Yearn for a universe where they rp more together #one of my fave sandboxes to play in is also apocalypse aus #thus:#feel free to ask questions about this au idk how much if any more ill actually write #i have no name for it yet but it can be summed up as Two Fuckers Spiralling #qsmp badboyhalo #qsmp cellbit #blood #cannibalism #mishapen words #this was fun tho its been a while since i just fucked around :]#fun fact i wrote this all in tumblr mobile drafts #eat the living au

Reason resigned Dark seasons' design

Spring's promise of sun is honored When winter's weighed down on us

Visions in white Raw fury in flight

Clear as diamond, yet fragile as ice My heart is racing

- Return to Oblivion (Shiva Eden's Refulgence Theme) Shadowbringer goes Rock

An edit of a clip I made a while back of an Au Ra I've wanted to make for a while, now. Details below the cut!

So, I realized that the first version of this I shared had the mouse cursor pop in for a few frames, and I got annoyed, so I went back to edit that out...and ended up having a hard time fixing it since there's audio, and I can't just remove those frames at the point at which the mouse came on screen! That said, I ended up making a better version of what I was trying to do the first time! (Microsoft Clip Champ is actually really good - especially considering how shit most Microsoft stuff is. I've found I don't even feel tempted by their premium plan, either, with how much good stuff is free.)

#ffxiv #au ra #ffxiv oc #gpose #ffxiv gpose #ffxiv rp #gposers #husky the geek #Shiva #my alt #look I am SO pleased I figured out how to have that frame sort of crystallize like frost on a window /chef's kiss #time to find the original and delete it! It will bother me forever if I don't #funny how tumblr still eats the quality some
