#i miss doing roleplays

[its-yelou]

i have two roleplay ideas that i can't take out of my mind and i don't have anybody to rp about it

the first one would be a canon x canon rp about vergil and the red woman from fortuna (i decided to call her rory). the roleplay could be a about how vergil and rory meet, and their love history. maybe they could be secret lovers, idk 👀

the second idea is about an oc x canon roleplay. idk why, but i really want to rp about my oc fighting vergil and hating each other, but soon they start having feelings for each other. just a normal enemies to lovers rp

so yeah, i'm in my vergil hyperfixation era

#dmc roleplay #devil may cry roleplay #devil may cry 5 #dmc #dmc vergil #dmc oc #roleplay #rp #i really want a roleplay partner #i miss doing roleplays #devil may cry rol #devil may cry #oc x cc #oc x canon #oc

i love it when bad is very specifically a good roleplayer by giving other people good prompts. like casually bringing up wilbur now to tallulah. or when he put missa in the petting zoo. or all those times he Tormented the Lesbians so they could protect each other from him. its just so !!!! I love watching roleplayers be considerate of other roleplayers and gleefully hand over something they Know the other person's character can react to. i've seen cellbit do it, too (that time he handed his knife to bbh. oh my god). it's not a rare thing, and it's possible to be a good roleplayer without keeping that sort of considerate back and forth in mind, but its one of my favourite things to notice. foolish does it too, sometimes- i haven't watched him much, but i did take note of when he Made Sure to bring jaiden along with him on a cucurucho quest. and basically every interaction he had with bad when the eggs were missing. its just so so good

#i think one of the worst things that can happen to a roleplay is for the players to stop interacting with each others' storylines #roleplay is an incredible medium particularly because of that Collaboration and Improv #and if youre just standing around pushing your own story then yeah sure its fun #but its MAGICAL when people engage with it #and its MAGICAL to look at a story #go 'what if i. did something funny here' #and throw in a little wrench that lights a delighted FIRE in the other player's eyes because now they get to go on a rant #or take drastic measures #or just do something a little fun that they couldn't/wouldn't have without that prompting #its like when bad went around telling people he was imposing building laws on behalf of the feds and people were like #actively a little disappointed that it was just a prank and they couldn't go HAM #anyway i miss roleplay. #qsmp why would you make all these people live so far apart from each other </3 spawn is so uninhabitable there is nothing for them #to make pretty or modify its not Theirs there's no reason for them to be there other than to shop #but i am on . a tangent. #and that is its own lighthearted post analyzing the psychology of built and modifiable vs provided and immovable spaces in the game #no its not late at night and i should not be doing other things (lying)

[oceanautumn]

reading over some qsmp posts and tags and comments and stuff. and now that i'm thinking about it

these people came here for a relaxing vacation and have suddenly been stuck in what might be one of the most stressful experiences of their lives. they spend a few days trying to figure out how to survive on their own and then they're saddled with Children. who they have to take good care of under threat of angering this dragon mother.

some of the children are dying of natural causes and one of the children was murdered in charlie slimecicle's attempt to make a deal with the devil to protect his daughter by giving her a gun. juanaflippa then used said gun to kill a man after he broke into her room, killed her dad, and tried to kill her.

charlie committed a literal crime in the process of getting footage of mariana killing her and went on a murderous rampage across the server in his grief trying to kill all the other kids.

quackity went drinking with his multiple-days-old son and doesn't know who the father is.

tomorrow they're having a court case to decide which parent will be sacrificed to bring back juanaflippa.

this is minecraft roleplay. these children are eggs. slimecicle freestyled rapped a bedtime story for his daughter after murdering philza minecraft's child. aforementioned old man has completely fucked up his sleep schedule trying to take care of a minecraft egg. everyone is gay for each other except for jaiden animations. quackity told tilín he might have two dads and tilín asked if that made them a "le tres leches." roier and two of the eggs are blowing up the server. This Is Fucking Minecraft Roleplay

#qsmp #quackity #slimecicle #philza #el mariana #jaiden animations #roier #mcyt #there are probably a lot of things i'm missing here this is just what's coming to mind when i first think about the recent happenings #its like. shockingly easy to forget that this is literally minecraft roleplay #everyone is doing a very good job

Because I think my tumblr buds are more into the Miss Marple fic than my bluesky buds:

#miss marple rhymes with parple #I just think they're neat! #miss marple and the mary sue that paul rutman wrote #for the express purpose of telling miss marple that she's amazing and perfect #which she is! #anyway taking suggestions now #I'm thinking about having them do 'the case of the perfect maid' because that would be hilarious #they'd both immediately clock what was going on but are like 'well maybe it's some weird roleplay thing we don't wanna judge' #and then of course there's stuff getting stolen so they've gotta sort it out

#my art #pokemon #galarian ponyta #digital art #hiiii everyone hello please look at my darling angel Amalthea. shes my partner pokemon in pokednd <3 #most of our pokemon went missing so Mia (my character) took our remaining pokemon to get their pictures taken in case they go missing #i did in fact draw all three of them. am going to work on doing digital versions of the other two #its all of our partner pokemons :3 ponyta. impidimp. and mankey <3 #the sketches i did for the other two are so fun i cant wait to draw them #impidimp's made my cousins all laugh so hard they almost cried #this session was so fun and we also talked afterwards about pokemon we may want on our teams in the future #and honestly my potential line up for Mia feels so good #her next pokemon she gets is very possibly going to be a bewear. absolutely out of left field choice but it works so beautifully #im also thinking good options for her would be breloom. grumpig. wyrdeer. maybe mimikyu. #grumpig and breloom are honestly the top of the list. they suit her so beautifully #wyrdeer is also really good. mimikyu would be up to roleplay #mimikyu and bewear would both play into her animal handling skill #mimikyu would also end up disguised as a sylveon #probably play that as mimikyu wanting to fit in with Mia's team since she's really nice to it and it wants her to be its trainer #bewear on the other hand would 1. work well aesthetically for her and 2. would be fantastic roleplay material what with it being a giant #aggro bear and mia is just this gentle giant who is so fucking good with pokemon so its like well. #the nice girl wants me to be nice so i wont kill you because i like her. she gives me snacks and pets me and treats me well

LITTLE BABY MADE 4 FUN :3

#god i wanna rp warrior cats again #i miss it so much but after playing d&d for so long i just can't go back to that type of roleplay lmaoo #art #nighteyes #warrior cats #they think the night sky is pretty but because of light pollution there's fewer stars lately #so their train of thought is cats die... cats become stars... should more cats die?? #they're not like a killer but they're very morbidly fixated on death and the concept of becoming a star XD #they don't give a shit about starclan's religious stuff. they want to create a sparkling tapestry in the sky #but hurting others is wrong so alas #all we can do is dream

[crescentpaws]

one time i had a dream i really wanted to join a kotlc rp so i searched for hours until i found an open one (since this was a dream though it was sort of happening irl. like we were just all thrown into this big mansion idk) and i decided to rp as fintan of course and the first thing i did when i got there was find a random person and then beat them up for no reason

#like ‘oh yeah this is definitely something he would do’ #kotlc #my dreams #i miss my days of roleplaying in other fandoms tbh #it was fun #kotlc fintan #let him beat someone up in book 10 pls #no pyrokinesis he just punches someone

[weirdo-and-proud]

I think it's so funny that imodna could literally act the most couple-y possible, and the Bells Hells would still not know for sure that anything had changed, because they've literally always acted like that! Like the only thing different is that now they also kiss sometimes 😆

#critical role #like cause the cast knows & they want their characters to know theyll probably interpret things in a way to think that something has changed #but honestly they could EASILY miss it COMPLETELY if imodna does not kiss in front of them #and even that could just be like: yeah theyve been together the whole time right? #but yeah i dont think the cast will do that #cause they want to roleplay teasing them 😂 #cr spoilers #cr #imodna #southern gothic #critical role spoilers #weirdo-and-proud

jdownloader has such a cute "voice" to me. software instructions are typically either neutral or have this kind of annoying overfamiliar chatty copy quality to them, but jdownloader feels like having a conversation with a polite little robot coworker.

#do nothing? #I love that it's like. roleplaying you responding ''what's the matter?'' to it exclaiming that something is missing #it's ok jdownloader you're doing your best

[syn4k]

and then he falls into a lava pit while mining. pixlriffs, everybody

#ray's tag #mcyt #sossmp #pixlriffs #i missed him SO MUCH #fwhip: NO LORE #pixlriffs roleplaying as a chicken with its soul stolen and doing a big dramatic gasp when he's been revived: sorry what was that?

[doodlebloo]

I feel sooo sick thinking about how TommyInnit roleplayed his heart out on a server that convinced him to give a character he played and loved playing for years the world's shittiest ending and then he never roleplayed on another long term server again. We got ONE c!Tommy we got ONE chance at c!clingy happy ending and this is what happened.

#i need another ctommy i need him to roleplay on a server again :[ #(/lh he can do what he wants blah blah.) #also do NOT get into it with me about ''ohh stop acting like Dream MADE Tommy end his character that way!!'' i dont want to argua abt it. #that being said i will if i must. and ill do a good job too #doomposting #dsmp doomposting #wow what a tag to type out in 2023 huh. #sorry I'm in a very I Miss The DSMP mood right now guys 💔 #doodle.txt

[strawberry-seal77]

I have secret lore that you can figure out through sheer chance. or by asking me

#like the marcys burning down applebees #or sasha drinking dirt #there's of course the myriad of WC roleplays that I just never mentioned on tumblr #do I have anything with rwby? I guess someone could miss yorse since I put mostt of it on the yorse blog

[mishapen-dear]

the greatest crime the federation has ever committed has been changing up the spawn. what about DAPPERS SUBWAYYY

#bad changed the colour scheme from white specifically to dapper colours so that it Wouldn't look federationy #and now they do this.... the bastards.... #it looks nice tho the admins did a great job #i would like to kick the federation tho #theyre doing a great job of making themselves look good #but im fucked up that they're doing it by erasing islanders' work #fantastic roleplay choice #i miss you casolonas i miss you #qsmp

[bisexualmultifandommess]

Does anyone remember on Quotev where you could join groups and people would make little RPs for different fandoms and one day Quotev randomly stopped you being able to do that because that was a crazy time for kid me I was really bringing out like 2k rps every day easy but now I struggle to write my 2k fics over the course of a week lmao

I remember you could have massive group ones or do 1x1 RP’s it was a different time I swear things were so much better back then.

#I never learnt if they brought groups back #it just stopped being available to me #but I loved doing rps it was so fun #I started doing them when I was like ten but eventually school got in the way #I miss it #quotev #roleplay #role playing #writing #rp #groups #rp group

|| Magpie's Tumblr RP guide ||

So it's been a while since I made one of these but with the shut down of omegle, more people are joining the site to rp, I figured I'd explain some of the basics.

Now none of these are necessary, you can just do as you do but these are some of the 'norms' here on tumblr currently. They may change and evolve over time, they've done so countless times in my time on tumblr but here's this for now for those who might find it useful!! Please feel free to offer feedback on this, I struggle with giving instructions so I've tried to make it as clear as possible but my brain isn't the best with this kind of thing. I will correct anything that needs correcting and add things as time goes on, so please do check back if you request an explanation/addition to something as I will try to add it asap.

BASICS

---------------------------------------------

Basic Etiquette

Don't reblog roleplays that aren't yours, often this will mess up peoples thread trackers and it's a nightmare.

Rather than reblog asks to continue them as roleplays, make a new post and link the ask in that post. This avoids blog clutter for both parties.

ALWAYS read peoples rules and about pages. No exceptions.

No one is obliged to write their character purely as they are in canon. Canon divergence, au, or just additional headcanons for canon characters is very common. Do not make issue with someone just because their writing for a character doesn't fit with how you see them. It's their character, just don't write with them if you don't like how they write them. Simple as that.

Don't godmod. This means don't take control of a persons character unless otherwise instructed by the other writer, do not assume attacks immediately hit/injure/kill their character without prior planning for such a thing. You can write the attack, just don't assume it lands. This also applies to your character being aware of things - just because YOU know something, doesn't mean your character does.

Mun does not equal muse. Many people play villains because they're fun, don't assume that these people share the viewpoints of such characters just because they're writing them. The RPC would be painfully boring without some villain muses to stir the pot!!

---------------------------------------------

xkit rewritten

The absolute saviour of tumblr rp when you're on pc, unfortunately I don't believe it's available on the phone app but it's super useful for pc users. For chrome you can find it in the chrome extensions, I'm sure it's available similarly for other browsers. The functions on xkit that specifically benefit rp are: clean feed (for blacklisting any content you don't want to see), mutual checker, tag tracking+ and trim reblogs. Any others are entirely up to your discretion whether you want to use them or not. To use 'trim reblogs' the post must be in your drafts or posted, then you can use the little scissor tool at the bottom of the post to snip off older replies and avoid posts becoming excessively long.

---------------------------------------------

Settings

So if you're like me and want a chronological timeline for those you follow? Here's how to do that. Go into account settings. Not the blog settings to edit how that looks, you want the settings that has your account info, dashboard preferences, ect. Click 'Dashboard', which should be on the right hand side menu on your screen if you're using pc. Optional: Enable 'Show timestamps' so you can see how old posts are. I find this useful as it ensures I'm not responding to something that is 5 years old lmfao. Scroll down and turn off 'Best stuff first'. This should make your 'Following' tab chronological, ensuring you see whenever people you follow are posting.

---------------------------------------------

Blog Design

Try to make sure you have a header and an icon for your blog, you can set those using the 'blog settings' tab. Even if there's no picture of your character themselves, try to use an image that captures their vibe - this advice is for both the icon and the header tbh. While not having one isn't bad, it will make people less likely to follow back or perhaps even block you! Often iconless/headerless blogs are spam bots and everyone loathes those.

---------------------------------------------

Meanings of words commonly used by RP accounts:

Mutuals - Your mutuals or 'moots' are those following you that you follow back. Private - This means that the blog only interacts with Mutuals. Selective/semi-selective - Won't roleplay with everyone, they'll rp with people based on their own preference. Thread - A single rp storyline. Verses - Different timelines of characters. Eg. Kidverse, fantasyverse, ect. Mun/Mundane - You! The writer of the blog! Muse/Muses - Character/s you're writing. Faceclaim - The 'actor' of your muse, whether canon or otherwise. Who do you imagine playing them when writing or whose icons would you use for them.

---------------------------------------------

Tagging

When writing with someone it's a good idea to put their username in the tags at the very least, this allows them to find your threads easier. ie: '#magpiesmemes' would be used by others if they were to write with this blog.

Making tags for individual threads is also useful, meaning you can find specific rps far quicker. They don't have to be fancy but some people do like to make fancy ones. A nice simple one would be 'Thread: Threadname'.

Also having tags for specific verses is a good idea, indicating to your rp partner what timeline they're writing it. Something like '#kidverse' will do the job but you also can make those fancy.

Having a tag for rp memes you've reposted is a good idea also, meaning it's easier to find if someone wants to send you something. '#memes' does the job just fine.

Lastly, if you're a multimuse then having character tags is a good idea, indicating to people what character they're writing with. Something like '#charactername' is fine but again, any tag can be fancied up to your likings.

---------------------------------------------

Pinned Post

Having a pinned post at the top of your blog has become fairly standard practice in the rp scene these days. Usually this has your important links on it (rules/muse pages) and some explanation of what kind of blog yours is. For example: 'This is a Private, selective blog for charactername from fandom/an oc. Written by mun. [Ruleslink] - [Muselink]' This would work as a simple rudimentary introduction for people checking out your blog. You can pin a post by selecting the three dots in the top right on it after it is posted, ensuring it's the first thing people see when looking at your blog. This is mine, for example but it needn't be so indepth. I just have zero chill. If you're writing on a sideblog then it's best to also have a pinned post on your main account with a link leading to your roleplay account. That way people will know that you're a roleplayer looking to write if you follow them - and also they may follow the link to check out your stuff!

---------------------------------------------

Making Rules/Muse pages

These are important to indicate to people what you will or won't write, your personal writing preferences, ect. Many people won't rp with people who don't have these as it means they can't be sure of boundaries. People often use a post to do this, linking it in their pinned post to ensure people can find it. [Tutorial on how to link posts here]. That's the simplest way. You can also make a google doc or even make a carrd instead, linking them for people to refer to for this information. Alternatively you can use your pinned post and simply list it there - though there is risk of it cluttering your page if you have many muses. To avoid that, you can use a 'read more' such as the one this post was under. Make a new paragraph and various options come up, you want the one that looks like two straight lines with a squiggly line between them. [This icon].

Things to have on your rule page:

- Things you won't roleplay/triggers. - What is your stance on shipping (do you autoship with people who rp your muses partner or do you prefer chemistry first, ect.) - Writing length preference. Do you prefer short simple threads, paragraphs or more novella style? - Do you use icons? Do you prefer your partner would use/not use icons? Same questions with text formatting. - Tagging requests. Are there things you want to avoid on your dash using xkit's blacklist?

Things to have on your muse/about page:

- Basic description of who your character is, it's best to write it as if you're explaining them to someone who hasn't seen what they're from - even if they're a popular canon character. - If they're an oc with a universe of their own, a basic explanation of that universe would be useful but isn't really necessary if you can't/don't want to. - A picture reference of some kind is also useful, if possible. - A description of the verses you write them in. For example: 'Kidverse - This verse is set when my character is aged whatever and this is a short description of what they're like in that particular verse.'

---------------------------------------------

Advertising Your Blog

One of the many ways people advertise their blogs is by posting self promos. These are usually edited images with a little blog tagline, links to important pages and a short description of your blog. Here's an example of my own. Including tags of the fandoms you write in/write with is a good way to try and draw attention your way. Alternatively, if you're limited in your image making/editing skills you can make a simple post, perhaps with an icon or gif to draw attention. Explain your blog, what you write, who you're looking to write with, ect. Make sure to include tags so people can see it!

---------------------------------------------

More To Do?

---------------------------------------------

Okay, so you've got the basics down, now what? Well, there's a lot you can do to make your blog more functional and/or appealing.

---------------------------------------------

Thread Tracking

So you've got a roleplay but you're scared you'll forget to reply? I recommend RPThreadTracker. There's a how-to use it on the site faq and it's a lifesaver in keeping track of your threads tbh.

---------------------------------------------

Icons

Though not necessary, you can find icons to use usually by searching the 'charactername icons' or 'faceclaim icons' right here on tumblr, be sure to follow peoples instructions for using them though. Some people will want a like/reblog for their use.

---------------------------------------------

Formatting

Many people, like myself, use some form of text formatting when writing. Some of the usual ones are small text, like the one I'm writing in now. That's done either by using 'ctrl+shift+-', 'ctrl+-' or you can use this:

while highlighting text. This tool also allows you to colour your text, italicise, ect. Play around with it in your own time to see what works for you. Some other useful keyboard shortcuts:

'Ctrl+b' - Bolds highlighted selection 'Ctrl+i' - Italicises highlighted selection 'Ctrl+z' - Undo, good for if you've accidentally erased text you didn't mean to erase.
