GET TO KNOW YOUR ADMIN !!

name — Stella, or Stels by close friends

pronouns — She/Her or They/Them

preferred comms —I mostly start off on Tumblr, due to the fact that I have had people harass me in the past on Discord. Therefore, I will gauge and see if we click well, and if asked, I will provide my discord. This is just for my comfort.

name of muse —I'm a multi-muse account, having muses from Ffxiv all the way to Resident Evil. For the moment, my must-active muses are my FFXIV ones, preferably Stella, Hiroto, Hikari, Y'shtola, and G'raha, with other Canon characters too, but those ones are the most loud right now. If anyone is interested in interacting, I did redo my career with all the messages I currently have motivation to write for.

experience in RP —I started RPing when I was 21, I think. It started off mainly in a different app, but due to various reasons, I stopped for a bit before coming back to Twitter. Eventually, this led me to Tumblr, where I have been writing for about 11 years now. Although I have been writing since I was really young, it was not in the RP style. I have been working on writing characters since I was really young.

best experiences — Probably the best experiences that I have had this year have been with these two sweethearts. It’s not often that you find people who actually enjoy hanging out outside of RP. They make the same effort as you to spend time together and genuinely listen to you gush about your characters. They have sincerely made my year a lot better, and I am thankful for them each and every day. The laughter we share brings a much-needed light to a challenging year. I also just feel like being able to focus more on original characters has been so much fun too. In the past, I was mainly getting requests for canon characters only, so it feels nice that people want to interact with characters that I have built so much lore into.

pet peeves / dealbreakers —I think my best pet peeve is people's vague postings. It’s one of my rules that I will soft-block or block if I see people doing this. I also do not appreciate pushing ships. Just because I have a dynamic with a close friend and you might be writing the same character doesn’t mean that you will also get the same dynamic. Each dynamic I have with other people is something I have discussed and worked on. I am a slow-burn type of person, so I want to see those characters relationships develop over time. Keep in mind that I have rules for shipping, which are on my carrd too.

The last thing I can think of is just guilt-tripping to reply to a certain thread. Sometimes I only have inspiration for certain threads, and that shouldn’t be seen as a problem. This is a place to have fun, not a job. I’ve been made to feel bad about taking too long to reply to threads before, and honestly, being pressured to reply isn’t going to make me answer it sooner.

muse preference ( fluff, angst, smut ) —I honestly prefer fluff and angst over anything. Anyone who’s written with me for a bit knows that I love combining the two. Not all the time, of course; a balance is needed, but if I had to pick ones that are more my style and what I prefer to write, it’s those two. Emotions are honestly a huge thing that I try to focus on, and these two are perfect for conveying that. It does take me a bit to reply to more angsty threads, though, depending on the context, because it sometimes takes a lot more energy to respond to them.

plot or memes —I like either one; memes are a great way to let me know you are interested in writing with me. I do enjoy plotting, though, as certain meme starters can eventually lead to developing dynamics between muses. So if you're nervous about talking to me, send in a meme starter from those that I reblogged. Please keep in mind that some are for ship partners only, but I do reblog ones for platonics and such too.

Long or Short replies—I think by now most can see I am a fairly long-reply writer. I don’t mind shorter threads, as long as there is some effort being put in by both of us. I just have had too many experiences in the past where I will put a lot of love into a starter and the person will only reply with a few sentences, which isn’t enough to continue the thread and makes me feel like I need to be the one guiding it along.

But I don’t mind shorter threads; sometimes it’s nice to just have something short and sweet. But all I ask is that some attempt be made to return the effort of writing back.

best time to write —This varies for me, especially since I have a full-time job. I try to work on things throughout the day on my breaks, but most of the time it feels like my best writing is done at night.

are you like your muse —I feel like so many of my muses have parts of me in them. It just helps to develop a character when you know some of the things they are feeling or going through. I experienced bullying for most of my life, which allowed me to understand the challenges Stella faced for years. Stella endured the mistreatment from the tribe and the negative thoughts that can arise when people make her feel a certain way.

Stella is also very forgiving; she cares so much about others. which isn’t a bad thing, but it has led to her giving up a lot to try and be there for them. In the end, I feel like Stella has so much of my love in her as well as Hiroto. The two are honestly combining parts of myself in them a bit; they are of course their own characters, but certain things I do see connecting to them from myself.

sorry but if you want to work at getting better at writing then you need to read actual books. yes I know "real books" aren't inherently better than fanfic, but traditionally published fiction generally has a higher standard of editing and story craft that you need to familiarize yourself with if you want to write at that level.

I didn't start roleplaying or writing fic until my mid 20s, and I was genuinely amazed by how people instantly adored my writing style. turns out that being a voracious reader since I was a kid gave me an inherent understanding of how to write compelling characters. I wasn't perfect and I've improved tons since my first fic 2 years ago, but I definitely had an advantage starting out because I already loved the written word for years before making my own, you know?

maybe that's why you wonder why you haven't improved despite rp'ing for the last 10 years. have you actually read and internalized stuff higher than your own level, or have you just read and written 50 word rp replies and called it a day? which is fine! but you can't expect to improve from that! would you expect someone to be able to run a marathon if they only walked 1000 steps a day, or someone to cook a michelin starred meal if they'd only ever tasted basic bland food?

I really don't mean to be a dick here, but I think you underestimate the amount of inherent story knowledge that these popular writers who write 20k fics like it's nothing have. and you can only gain that from reading and analyzing good quality fiction. there's no short cuts

I mean, my rp replies aren't THAT short unless I'm rping SUPER casually. But there are still people I see that can do like. Wat heavier longer replies and it sometimes makes me feel inadequate ya know?

And yeah I've. Been meaning to read more books I just haven't had the time/energy/focus/money to really dedicate to it. I haven't even read much fan fic the past couple years because of how chaotic my life has been.

I do know that reading is a big part of it though. Just. Gah. Trying to focus and shit is so hard.

Munday Asks • 17 & 30 !!

munday asks

17) what was your first muse?

my first ever, ever, ever, ever muse was one of my Unis on Neopets. >xD i couldn't for the life of me tell you which one, though, because i had dozens and most of their names are lost to time. i tried googling my original account, just now, but i guess... it got erased? does neopets delete/deactivate long-inactive accounts? idk.

THAT SUCKS, because i had some rare ones--i've never been more betrayed in my life [/hasn't acknowledged them for years]

my first muse as far as tumblr is concerned is THIS fella. pretty sure i started RPing for dol back in 2011. it was either toward the end of my freshman year in college or the beginning of my sophomore year; but i want to say the former. i've literally been writing this asshole for a decade. what the fuck.

30) what are your favorite RP tropes to play? (angst, hurt-comfort, etc…)

that KIND OF varies with who i'm currently writing because my favorite RP tropes change with what my character "needs" or areas for them i really, really want to explore. so, i'll answer with dol in mind!

with him i definitely love writing hurt/comfort situations, and not just with him as the focus--i like having him on the comforting end because he is NOT GOOD at it and getting to write him struggle to figure out how to most effectively help someone (while not making the situation worse) can be really interesting.

if i have an opportunity to explore his softer side as a whole, i love taking it. he tends to be blunt/hard/biting/purposeful in driving people away from him. so, give him a moment where he lets himself be a bit more vulnerable or actively goes out of his way for someone else is 👌 and i enjoy angst in the light of him opening up about stuff, be it his past life with his biological family or lab experiences or hating how quick his temper is to consume him. i don't enjoy angst for angst's sake, if i'm going to write it i need him to grow from it somehow. if that makes sense!

and, of course, i love writing with the handful of ships i have BECAUSE they tend to lead into dol's softer side and pieces of himself that he reserves for those he feels safest around and trusts the most. like, if i get to write him letting out a genuine laugh at something and being unguarded? i've ascended. any day i get to break out one of his icons with a sincere smile or grin is a good day.

Dear Famers,

I’m going to start off by saying this is going to be long lol. You don’t have to read this, but if you do - thank you in advance.

I can’t believe we’re having our appreciation week already. Can you? 2020 has been... a year. And to say the least, I think appreciation week is needed more this year than ever before. We’ve all faced so much this year - no matter where in the world you’re from - but one thing we have in common is that we're overcoming it together. I’m gonna be honest and transparent, you guys kept me going this year. You gave me the strength to keep going and something to focus on - both as an admin and as a member - and it helped get my mind off of everything that was thrown to us worldwide. I don’t think any of us could have ever predicted a pandemic, human rights movement, killer wasps and just about everything else that could have possibly came out of 2020. I’m just so happy we had each other to rely on and be there for each other. Through it all, we kept pushing through and I just want to tell you all how proud I am of each of you for tackling this year and still going strong. I can’t even put into words how much you all made me grow as a person. Remarkable what one year can do. I’ve learned about life, loyalty, love... you name it, it was thrown our way in 2020. So much has changed, but I think we’re going to come out of this even stronger with a bigger sense of community than we already had.

I need to sit back and give a genuine thank you to the admins of this group. I don’t think you all understand how much work and effort the team puts in every single day. From helping with graphics, checking the main, coming up with new ideas like the thirst blog... the admin team is just... phenomenal. Shannon, Marie, Clary, Autumn, Lee and Chloe - I would have absolutely crumbled without all of you. You not only keep the main afloat, you equally keep me afloat too. You all are some of the best friends I could have ever asked for and you care so much about the roleplay that I know it’s always in good hands. Each one of you works so hard and has so much love in your hearts - it just makes me smile and it’s really such an honor to know you all and have you in my life in some way, shape, or form. I will always defend, love, and have all of your backs - now and always. Getting to know each of you personally has been such a blessing in my life and I don’t think you understand how much I value each of you as people. Because I do - so damn much. I couldn’t do any of this without you and I’m so glad I get to call you all my friends. From the bottom of my heart thank you, thank you, thank you for everything that you do. And to all the previous admins at HFRP - Alex, Grace, Lottie, Elliot, Rose, Heather, Mickey, Nicki, Jay, Marie, Kendall and Mackenzie... thank you as well. I’m so grateful for everything you’ve done and all the work you put in previously. You all not only played such a pivotal role in Fame, but you taught me so much personally and professionally and it’s something that will carry through in Fame for years to come and with me personally as well.

To the members of Hollywood Fame... I don’t even know where to begin. I know we’ve been saying it since the day we’ve opened - but you all are Hollywood Fame. A group is only as good as the people in it and... we’ve got some damn amazing people here. You guys literally leave me in awe. I come on the dash and every day there’s a new plot, new friendships, new connects, new backstories... it blows me away. Your creativity knows no bounds and my God, I hope you all never lose that spark. Please always remember the feeling igniting in you when you write something that you’re passionate about. I can guarantee you - everyone will be looking and reading. You all are not only some of the most creative people I know, but also some of the friendliest and kindest people I’ve come across. I see the way people look out for one another here, how you all reach out in the ooc blog, I’ve seen heartwarming screen shots between muns... that means something. We’ve all been together for almost 4 years in this group - and I didn’t even count the years some of us spent in other rpgs with one another! We are a family. At the end of the day, we spend a lot of time with each other and while it may only just be virtually - connections are made, friendships are made (both IC and OOC) and lifelong plots are established. That’s notable. And I give every single member here all the credit in the world for that.

You know, RPGs come and go all the time - and I’m a realist enough to know that one day our time will come, too. But not yet. Not for a long while. We still have so much to do! You all still have so much to write, create and unfold with your FCs - even if you don’t know it yet! Don’t let the craziness of this year hinder you from exploring your creativity. Let it influence you and write it all out. Roleplaying is a form of expression, after all. We all roleplay for a reason - and whatever reason that is for you, hold on to it. Remember, rping is supposed to be fun - never lose sight of that. Since the day we opened, I always said that this group could have five members and I’d keep it going. That’s something I still stand by to this day. I promise I will never give up on you guys. I know we’ve hit snags in the past and I will never say we’re perfect - but what family is? I want to thank you all for never giving up on Fame, for giving us a chance, and for calling Fame your home for all these years. This roleplay belongs to all of you. It always has, and it always will.

Love always, Riley.

hi hello it’s my turn to announce what happening to this blog when V8 starts airing. it’s getting archived/revamp because i’m not gonna lie i’m 100% walking into V8 believing Clover is getting that Jon Snow treatment. foolish i know, but i bought my clown shoes back in V7 epi 12 so might as well wear it amirite lmfaaooo

i have a VRV subscription and on here i’m only going to be reacting/voicing opinions on the airing episodes with proper spoiler tags and under read mores. i will not post or reblog any screen shots or images until the volume’s completion. if you need to, block the tags:

rwby spoilers

v8 spoilers

rwby v8 spoilers

spoilers

as for the blog come saturday, all threads/inbox meme are getting dropped. what’s being carried to the new blog is ships/bonds, most headcanons, and most verses. that’s it. i’m very sorry to everybody! if you like a thread to continue let me know and i’ll get it out once the new blog is up and running! i will work to not be so overwhelmed and fix my pacing on replies/inbox memes. i was terrible for months and honestly someone should have taken a bat to my head.

under the readmore is about how i will be writing Clover in the future regardless of what happens in V8, but I just want to let everybody know that: please relax and take a deep breath. shit is hitting the fan so please be nice and please be kind to everyone! especially the writers, voice actors, and animators!

now everybody and their mother around here knows i’m bat shit crazy for Clover and fg, but genuinely I would never drop RWBY just because my fav stayed dead or a ship wasn’t made canon. if we make it to the end of the volume and Clover still dead, well, i’ll be very very sad, but i’ll keep going as I did before where I rp up until the point he dies in v7 and have a verse where he lives.

it’s not a deal breaker for me if Clover remains dead.

BUT you know what would be amazing? he does come back. just know somewhere in the world Kay will be flipping her shit like that kid who found a shiny ponyta (volume warning!) the moment Clover rises up like the great JC

i’m telling you all right now. when that clover revival episode drops and Clover breathing again PLEASE COME FIND ME AND CALL ME A FCKING AMBULANCE. gonna buy everybody a beer! we poppin the biggest bottles!!! we gonna lose our damn minds! serotonin levels through the roof!

anyway i’m done clowning myself again lmfaaoo

i will pin this post come saturday and once V8 starts airing consider this blog frozen. no rping activity at all and you are welcome to unfollow if you like, but most likely the new blog will show up maybe towards the end of the volume or when the volume ends officially, who knows. this is also like a good break for me cause i got some books to read and focus on myself a little bit.

if you read all of this i’m so sorry for being so damn annoying

i love you all btw ;;u;; <3

#ooc.#psa.#pinned post.#manifesting clover's bloody pin in the intro

——— BASICS!

NAME: gio

PRONOUNS: she/her

ZODIAC SIGN: leo

TAKEN OR SINGLE: taken uwu

——— THREE FACTS!

i went to a comic/art academy for three years instead of university and worked with ppl who drew for marvel and disney. they all said that the higher ups in disney are all Basards and honestly??? i believe them

i enjoy cooking a lot!!! it’s far from being a relaxing hobby bc LEMME TELL YA I STRESS A LOT but seeing people happy because i cook or bake them something good fills me with the purest joy so its a stress i love going through :°> also i mean im italian im forced by contract to enjoy good food and cooking

i ADORE dnd!! i’m currently in two different sessions - one as a player and one as a DM - and boi lemme tell ya i miss playing and rolling dices

——— EXPERIENCE!

PLATFORMS USED: i started in italian RP forums, eventually moving on Facebook, making 237894 different profiles im genuinely surprised are mostly still up to this day, and while i was there i was also playing on IMVU dontjudgeitwascringebutitwasMYcringe; after a while FB annoyed me so i moved on ask.fm where i discovered the magic of using icons, skype, e-mail and eventually tumblr, starting with askblogs and then going for properly (?) written rp stuff, and jumping on discord RP thanks to Best Bot aka tupper also ill never forget that one time i rp’d in chatchat for the sake of being stupid with my bff and we ended up actually rping some hurt-comfort heavy enough that made us both cry.

——— MUSE PREFERENCE!

GENDER: i can barely call it a preference but,,, i find myself getting muse for mostly male characters

MULTI OR SINGLE: LOOK i adore single blogs, but. i learned from experience (aka getting 2983473 urls in the pokemon rpc) that theyre uhhh. kinda hard to focus on :^) im slowly learning to check on multis if i have less than 3 STRONG strong strong muses or if i know that i have generally low muse for them, but i’d much rather keep my multis fandom specific. so far i got four and really helped my current mental state so :^) thats good ig,

FLUFF / ANGST / SMUT

FLUFF : oh i’m gonna sound terrible here ansfmdg buT!!! ok look i adore fluff but i need it in. somewhat little doses? mostly because i get easily bored with stuff that is nothing but 100% fluffy uwu everyday coffee shop au stuff, i need drama and action in my stuff asfmdg this said hurt/comfort???? that’s one hell of a fluff i’m always in for this is very good

ANGST : heheh hohoho look. look in my FB days i was known to be an angsty bastard enough to make my sona into an angst-eater and,,, yea i always need to remind myself not to overdo because boi. i love myself some angst. not specifically sad crying angst i just. enjoy writing about strong strong emotions, i love exploring my muses in their darkest moments and lemme tell ya fight threats in which things are truly fucked are my favorite kind of rps so,,, yea also, again: hurt/comfort gr8

SMUT : i like this, but out of all three of these type of threads,,, this is the one i need to be Truly in the mood for to rp, and even then it’s the kind that takes me the longer to answer generally. i cant write about dongs and stuff while chilling i need to feel the horny vibes you know??? also i’d much rather play it with someone i can feel like im truly vibing with to begin. also lemme tell ya finding synoyms for dong every single post is stressful fasdmg

PLOT / MEMES: turns out im terrible at plotting asndfmg. i enjoy memes much more than plotting generally, but i tend to go with the flow and prefer threads from dash commentary and unprompted asks way more. this said plotting is also fun and for big big heavy stuff i’d rather have a general idea of where i’m going/what are the limits

I’ve had nothing but pure love for this group for a bit over six months now, and it’d only be right for me to tell each and every one of you why you’re so wonderful to me. Muns are listed alphabetically!

Ally: Let’s kick this off with something I know I said before but I can’t help to say it again, you amaze with how dedicated you are! I freakin’ love that about you, and it’s an honor to get to be around that. As someone who fawns over all the ships, you know I’ve always loved yours and I love what you put into all of yours replies. They each so well written and I couldn’t feel more blessed to know you. I want the whole world to know what you all you put into your roleplaying so they really know what it’s like to put heart into something. @hqmaia

Becca(EST): Oh man, you really bring me back. When I think about what RP used to be like, I’m thinking of 2012/13 when everything was so with the flow and that’s what you are. I feel like I’m back to when things were easier in life, when it wasn’t so stressful, when RP was a proper escape to submit all of your creativity into. Every time I’m on here and I see you on my dash, I get taken back to that time, and I love every bit of it. You put so much into making this group feel like one and it wouldn’t be the same without! @liliisms

Becca(GMT): My precious Becca, where do I begin? I gotta keep these relatively simple or else this is turning into a novel, so let me focus on just how much you’ve made me fall for your muses! Truly Taylor and Niall couldn’t be more perfect, and I don’t know how you do it but you do. I am such a sucker for Taylor and Louis, and you do such a wonderful job at giving that ship what it needs to thrive, and I’ve never had so much with a Niall before! Even if it’s me seeing him on the dash most of the time or him being cute with Ari, he genuinely brings a smile to my face. Thank you for having them here and blessing my dash with every single post you make. You’re such a crucial part of this RP like everyone, and I couldn’t be happier that you are one. @teylcrswift

Beth: Talk about some who is so unapologetic with the MURDER you inflict on my with you and your muses both, Miss Beth. You know what you’re doing when you’re doing it and you don’t care how much it kills me as long as I find it perfect and you know I always do! If we had an awards for one who plays their character so well in regards of the real celebrity, it’s all yours hands down. I already loved Jack from what I had saw of him and I wasn’t prepared for what would happen when I came here, but you have completely caused me to nose dive into the pool of infatuation with your Jack. All of your muses for that fact, they bring a lot of emotions out of me, and that takes a lot of skill on your part that I honestly can’t go without. I don’t know what the polls are yet, but you’re definitely an All Star. @jocklowden

Charlie: Is it okay for me to start this by saying I love you? Because I do, I really do. You are a part of my every day life now and I honestly wouldn’t want it to be any different. Even if I’m too stressed to get on the dash or not feeling good, you’re still there to be an amazing person to me and somehow want to talk to me! I think Charles and Ariana is what really kick started the two of us talking to each other back in February and it’s seriously been a wonderful almost four month getting to know you. I’m constantly amazed by how fascinating you are and what you do with yourself, even if you don’t believe me when I say it, you are truly one of the coolest people I’ve ever met and I’ll gladly brag to anyone I know that I also get to know you. Thank you for everything you do, everything you contribute, and everything about you that’s made you a perfect human to me. You’re one hell of a friend and I couldn’t imagine it being any different. @madelame-x

Dee: I know you’ve been here before, but since you just got back, I thought I’d take the opportunity here to welcome you again! I’m excited to RP with your Brie and if you want to plot, Ariana/Fionn/Darren are all yours! Thank you for giving us your creativity and time, I know we’ll all appreciate it. @briannelarsonx

Emily: Girl, you know how to make someone feel loved and their muses feel loved so well, I can only hope that I make you feel the same way! I think everything started with Ari and Troian’s friendship and it’s snowballed in a big ole’ bundle of love for all of your muses since! It’s so easy to write with you and I can feel the chemistry for who we play flow right out when I’m doing my replies! Our friendship means to world to me and no matter what happens and wherever anything takes us, I know I want you to be there with me to write it all out. @hqsofia

Faith: This may be a weird way to start things out for your segment here, but I have to say it. I’ve never met another writer that is so damn good at dry humor the way you are. I mean, there are so many funny people here and I love every bit that they give, but Aaron is one of a kind and damn do I love seeing him on my dash! I haven’t had much experience with others who play him, so having him here really is like a rare gem for me! And you sure know how to make him shine. Him and Lizzie both, with the way they talk to each other, I’m entirely pulled in and each reply is perfect. And oh, don’t let me forget, you know what you’re doing with drama as well! I’m so blessed to get to partake in it with you, and I hope you can forgive me for my lack of activity for our bbies Aaron and Darren, the troubling two. It’s already one of my favorite friendships and that’s largely due to you being the far better half, so never change! You’re wonderful the way you are. @aarcntveit

Ina: My sweet, sweet Ina! If there’s one person that I just want to wrap my arms around and give the biggest hug to, it’s gotta be you! You’re always bringing a smile on my face even when you’re not doing anything but posting in the ooc blog or reblogging a photo of Gen and talking about how pretty she is. I do the same, I mean. I’m obsessed with Ariana so we’re in the same boat of those who totally adore their muses, and I adore yours! I need to get on it with more threads with you because I know I’m missing out on the perfection! You’re a wonderful roleplayer and an absolutely stellar admin that I feel lucky to be around in this group, and it’s been an hour to spend these past seven odd months here with you. @itsgenevievegnt

Jaq: I can’t even begin to properly put into words how wonderful you are, Jaq. A bit of time had passed of me admiring your characters from what felt like a far, but once we had something going for them, their chemistry practically wrote itself! Not to mention our own because my friendship with you blossomed quick and has been one of my favorite to ever experience through RP. I know we’re both busy and have a lot going on nowadays, but Ariana will never forget the threads she’s had with your muses, and I can’t wait for more to come with Cami and whoever else you may ever play. You’re so funny and you don’t mind when I say something utterly dumb on discord and that calls for one hell of a friend because I feel like I say a lot of dumb stuff. And before it slips my mind, I want to add that I hope you had one hell of a time in Maui! You deserved it. @hqcami

Katie: Strike me down right now for not having more going on with you! I adore Diana so much and love seeing her on my dash, I demand I get my ass in gear and get some stuff going. Especially now that I have Darren, even though she’s best friends with Lizzie which we shall access properly, I’d love to have more going with such a wonderful muse played by a fabulous person! And my god, you’re one hell of a cutie on the main. You’re so sweet and I love seeing your posts with Emilia even if you’re just promoting for more people to join. Feel free to message me whenever and about whatever you want, I’d love to get anything started on any of my bbies with you. @diannahq

Kay: Another case where I’m totally ashamed of myself for not having anything going on with such a perfect muse! One, I might add, that’s brought my precious Dove and her muse a lot of joy which makes me love you all the more, because Samantha deserves all the perfect ships and you do one hell of a job to give her one, and that’s makes a pretty great cookie in my book. Please come to me for whatever you want and I’ll have it on your way. I’ve been so tempted to make more promos on my own character just to get you the rest of the 5SOS boys cause I’d love for you to have them around and see the band thriving, and your Luke has been the best one to see around in my years of RPing, thank you so much for gracing us with him. @hwl-hemmo

KJ: I just want you to know that you have been a total staple to my experience here at Hollywoodland, KJ. From your muses to the way you personally are, I get so much enjoyment out of your presence here that I marvel at the way you are. From being a wonderful writer with your characters to being absolutely precious out of character, especially when you had met Eliza and gifted us with the cutest meet and greet photos I’ve ever seen, you’re exactly what this place will always need and I’m so happy that you’re not only a part of this family but one of who helps keep it rolling on the main. From a talented writer to a caring admin, you’ve got it all and my muses will forever love yours just like I love you. @kjapayo

Lara: How can I say that you make my stomach hurt without it sounding bad? I mean, I’m sure Jordan can say it and end up turning it into a flirt! But honestly, you’ve made me actually cry with how funny you are. I have to hide my laughs at work, but it’s all out when I’m home and I’ve had to take time to recuperate when I laugh so hard! Ariana just loves Jordan to bits and she’d do anything to have him around as much as possible. I can’t stress it enough but you really do have a talent with yourself and your muse for cracking me the hell up and I think we all need someone like that in our lives, so thank you for being in mine! @jordnconnor

Laura: I need to message you pronto because if I don’t have more with your perfect muses soon, I may very well go a bit mad! Just what bit I’ve had between Tom and Ariana has been so very dearly loved and I know I’ll enjoy everything that’s written with you, especially since I enjoy reading everything you post! Not to mention how much I love the spread of muses you have, it’d be a crime not to get some for myself so I can enjoy it that much more. I’d love to plot with you even if we all know from the dozens of times that I’ve said how I’m terrible at doing so! @tmhclland

Mal: I know you haven’t been here long, but I really do hope that you find this a place to stay! I see the dedication that you put in your replies and wow is Emilia such a cute little bean! Please feel free to message whenever you’d like if you want anything going with any of my muses, I know I’d love to have something going with your precious girl. @clarkesitos

Maree: Let me take a moment absolutely applaud you for having such a fascinating queen to enjoy on my dash and in this roleplay! I don’t think I’ve ever had the chance to RP with a Stefani this much in all of my years of being on Tumblr, and that’s such a shame because she truly is so beautiful and talented and definitely deserves more recognition in the community. Yours especially deserves all of the attention she can get for being so wonderful and bringing a smile on my face whenever you’re around. Not only are you blessing us with such an underused faceclaim to enjoy on the visual standpoint alone, but also with beautiful writing and skill that makes everyone want to fall in love with her. Bless this queen. @stefgaga

Minnie: The DIVERSITY with your muses, I swear! I’m still shocked by it that I had no idea you played them all, and that takes such a talent to differentiate muses when you have a good amount of them, a talent that you for sure have! I’m just in absolute awe with what you do with and for them, and you’ve given me beautiful ships to admire from a far. Beth definitely knows what Jaoirse means for me, and even though I’m not a part of it, I enjoy being in the front row with a box of popcorn ready for the show, no matter what it is that you’re writing for them! We can’t forget how much I love GMax as well, though! You and Ina write that ship out so beautifully and I’m so delighted that I get to see their relationship and marriage continue on, I can’t wait to see what else you have in store for me. @irishxseahorse

Nikki: Your name is right in the middle of this list with the way I organized it, but I might have had to save it for the last one that I’ve written out, and that’s solely because of the fact that I knew how emotional I’d get over writing this out, and I may need to take the rest of the day to regather my composure afterwards, Babe. Where do I even start though when every single thing about you bring my pure happiness and makes me love you more and more every day? How can I properly explain why Harry and Joe bring me so much joy enough to bring them justice? Because that’s what they do! They make me smile with everything they do, and that’s exactly what you do as well. You know how I feel about you and our ship with Fiorry and friendship with Jariana. It’s the world to me, and I’m tearing up right now just thinking about how you’ve changed my life for the better. You’ve gotten me through more rough times than I’ve even let you know about because all I had to do was talk to you for a few minutes and I immediately feel better. I can’t believe how lucky I really am to have you in my life and I hope you can get a sense of what you mean to me even if all I can do is pour my heart out through messages like this and through the writing of my characters to yours. Yep, I knew it, I’m incredibly emotional and I might have to splash my face with some water after this, but I just can’t get over how great my life is now that you’re in it, and I can’t wait for every day from now on because I now they’ll be spent with you in them. I love you to death, Nikki, and I want to go on about what Fiorry means to me as well, but then I know my tears really won’t let me see my computer screen enough to type it out.. Fuck it, they’re the world to me and Harry has done with you did for me but for Fionn. He’s changed his life entirely and I know Fionn couldn’t possibly be more happy about it. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for them and their future together, and even if I don’t know what it is yet, I know that it’ll be perfect. This is coming to be a ridiculous amount of me pouring my heart out to you, but I can’t help it. I love you, Harry, and Joe more than you’ll ever know and I owe all of my happiness and gratitude to you. @hcurly

Raven: Thank you so much for bringing us the beautiful Zendaya that I feel is rarely played nowadays! Even in the past, I don’t think I’ve had much experience with one, and I’m glad that you’re who brought her here. She’s so well played and such a beautiful soul, I can’t wait to see what all you do with her here and I hope to be a part of that! So whatever you want, if you want, I’d love to plot or get more threads going. @dayaxxcole

Rose(PST): Hello, 1/2 of one of my all time favorite ships here! God, you really know how to deliver such cute material between Brett and Haley, I can’t help but to enjoy every bit of it! Just in general as well, I enjoy everything that you bring to the table and this RP really wouldn’t be the same without you. There’s such a talent in your writing, and don’t think that I didn’t notice what you were able to do to me during AU week! Brett had my heart absolutely breaking with a lot of emotion that I adored so much, and it really takes a talented writer to bring that out of a person! Thank you for having your skill here for all of us to enjoy. @brettdicr

Rose(GMT): ROSE, ROSE, ROSE, what a lovely human being you are! I’m so happy that I get to be a part of a roleplay that has such a wonderful and dedicated player like yourself. I mean, just tear my heart out and use it as an offering to the gods above that granted us Sprousehart to enjoy in this world.. Was that dramatic? It might have been, but who cares, I absolutely adore Cole and I love how he is with Lili. They’re perfect, you’re perfect, please don’t ever go anywhere because I know I couldn’t take it. You inspire me with what you do for your ship and what you do for Becca, all ships should get the chance to experience what yours is like, it’s just so beautiful and you’re amazing at writing it out. I can’t wait to see what else SH has to bring us. @hqcolem

Sadie: You know what I just realized right now? That you’re only playing Lizzie! And what amazes me about that is that you’ve planted so much of yourself in my RPing experience and have become such a big deal to me that I would have sworn you had more characters, but no! You’re just spreading it all around with your perfect Lizzie that I adore so much and feel so honored to have a plot with. Granted, it’s very sad and dramatic and I just want to hug her so bad because of it, but that’s what makes things so exciting. You make things exciting! You’re so good at running this place as well, don’t even let me forget what a great admin you are to us. My god, I just feel so lucky to be here with you and to read what you put out on my dash, it’s such gold every time! Lizzie has such a humor that I’m addicted to and an attitude that knows how to break my heart when it comes out. Thank you for blessing me with your written talent. @ohlizzo

Sam: BBY, OH THE LOVE I HAVE FOR YOU! Let me get my heart shaped boxing gloves out because I’m ready for another battle to see who can say they love each other the most. You’ll see that I win because nothing can beat out the total adoration I have for you and Grant. How well did our bbies click right off the bat? Sure, it started out just with a common admiration for sushi, but it took off and Ariana is practically in love with Grant. In a friendship way of course! With their cute sushi dates and precious hugs, they’re one of my favorite friendships I’ve had for her, and she misses the hell out of him every day on tour! There’s so much more that I want to do with you, especially on my other muses, but for now just let me thank you for always bringing a smile to my face and gracing my dash with a perfect muse like Grant. I truly can’t get enough of you. @theflashgrant

Samantha: Oh my god, you’re just so amazing. I have to start with that because it’s the first thing that comes to mind! You’re seriously so wonderful, and I can’t believe how much I have in common with you. You love Starkid, you watch Dead Meat, we both have terrible sinuses with allergies. I mean, there’s just so much there. I’m not even afraid to share with you when I’m at my dumbest like chester drawers. I feel such strong chemistry for both our friendship and the ones that our muses have together! I knew in the beginning that I’d want something for Doviana but I had no idea that they’d click so well and I think it stems from the way we click! Thank you for being a friend to me and sharing everything you have so far. It’s an honor to call you my friend. @dcvescameron

Sarah(GMT): Bby! I know we don’t talk much and my characters haven’t had much time with Meryl, but I know I want to change that! It’s so lovely see a FC that’s so underused and I’ve always been a big admire of both the real actress and your muse, so I wanted to thank you for gracing my dash with her when I get to see it! Hit me up any time if you want, I’d love to give you all my muses so we can get some fun started. @xitsmerylstreepx

Sarah(EST): I find it quite fitting that you’re here since they do always say to save the best for last! I know I made this alphabetical, but shh, we can say it was planned. I truly am so happy that you’re here and you joined not too far off from when I did! Come to think of it, it might have been around the same time exactly with Vanessa even if you picked up Bella a bit later, so if you think about it, you could say that we really have taken this RP journey together and it’s been one hell of a time! I absolutely adore you and the chemistry that our muses have, and I’m lucky that I get to be one half of Beliana. I know we don’t often get that much time to write together, but when we do get to, I love every bit of it and Ari’s life wouldn’t be the same without your Bella! Thank you for being here with us and for having that feisty mama for us all to enjoy. @b-hxdid

#[ OOC ]#[ hwlappreciation2019 ]#( I really hope that I have everyone listed here!#you all deserve to know how much i love you <3 #and tumblr better have this tagged all correctly for you to see #i love you so much #please forgive that graphic #i hope my messages make up for it )

{{ “Be Honest” mun meme

{{ Questions list taken from here:

https://www.tumblr.com/dashboard/blog/hellhaeths/182092480007

What would prevent you from following someone? Not trigger-tagging, or not using cuts for ns//fw scenes. (I have really intense emet*phobia, so if you don't tag for that, or won't tag for it upon request, I absolutely cannot follow. Savior catches most posts for me, even if they're not tagged, but there are just So Many Euphemisms and Various Ways to Describe It that it only works 75% of the time.)

Are aesthetics important to you? If they are, why? As far as blog theme, not really-- I just like fiddling around to find something that evokes their General Vibe, and seeing what themes other muns like! I won't judge by them though. When it comes to thread aesthetics, I actually prefer to leave them utterly unformatted and plain-text as possible. I have ADHD and Fancy Unicode and Symbols and All That makes it really hard for me to focus on what's going on in the thread, not to mention I don't have the attention span to match another mun's Styling like that. (Also, fun fact: I always have my Tumblr Dash at 75% zoom, and Dove’s theme already has text at a Very Readable Size, so nothing ever needs to be Smallified for me.)

What current rp trend do you hate? I don't think there are any I "hate", though I get confused on all the Different Verses that everyone has. (In all my years of writing fanfic, I've only ever written Exactly One (1) AU, and I never read them outside of rp. AUs just aren't my thing.)

How do you explain rp to someone in the real world? "Taking turns writing what the characters are doing." Everyone afk has been pretty supportive. (They all know I'm a writer, so like... it's Nothing New.)

Do you prefer interacting with male muses or female more? Why? I genuinely don't care either way! Guy, gal, nonbinary pal: as long as they're fun to write with, I don't mind a bit. (And Dove has no preference, either.)

Do you prefer writing male muses or female more? Why? Statistically, I have 3 female muses (4 if we count Evangeline as her own person and not just A Part of Dove Manifested)... and only 1 male. (And technically, both Srentha and Leyla are genderqueer, so it's really only Dove and Kary that are cis women.) But that's not intentional? Evangeline is feminine because Dove is feminine, and Kary was originally my girlfriend's-- if she was a male I still would've hardcore adopted him. It just kind of worked out that way. I just enjoy writing people, not gender roles.

Name any three things about the rpc that bother you. 1.) The aforementioned Verse Thing. (It doesn't really bother me, I'm just easily confused by Similar-Except-Vaguely-Different Things due to the ADHD.) 2.) Some people still don't know that godmodding isn't okay. 3.) The distaste for OCs??? I guess that doesn't exactly "bother" me either, because people are allowed to have preferences... but, I mean, I spent several years active in, and then Actually Running, a group of 1300 members on dA completely DEDICATED to OCs, and it was a blast, so I just don't understand why people don't like rping with them as much as canon characters. I personally find OCs more satisfying to explore, more surprising in every thread because you just don't know what to expect, and you have a LOT more freedom for plotting and reactions! Like! You can Shed the Constraints of Canon and Revel in your Newfound OC-Based Freedom!! Truly Become your Character's GOD!!!

What is your opinion on exclusivity? Do you practice it? Why / why not? Nah, I love the variety different muns can bring to the same muse! Other people can stay exclusive if they like. Being an OC mun, it doesn't exactly affect me. 8F

Have you ever had a bad experience with commissions? As either someone who makes them or as someone who buys them? (I don't really know how this pertains to RP?) But there was one time when someone gave me a really vague commission request, out of the blue, for a fandom I know absolutely nothing about, and just kept saying things like "Whatever you think they'd do!" when I asked for plot, characterization, or preference details... I never finished it because I Didn't Even Know how to START.

What do you know now about rp that you wish you knew when you first started? The reply doesn't have to be perfect. Or dramatic, even. Not every reply is going to shatter someone's heart or absolutely make their day. And that's perfectly okay!

Have you been involved in drama? Do you regret it? Nnnnot on Tumblr. (There was a LOT of drama amongst admins of the dA group, which strongly attributed to the decline of me RPing on dA, but I definitely do not regret standing up for myself. I do wish I'd been able to foresee it, though, and brought someone else on staff who was actually going to, you know, do the job they applied for?)

Have you ever thought about leaving rp? What caused it? What changed your mind? Never! Well not on Tumblr anyways. There was a period where my favorite partners were all going inactive, and I couldn't find anyone who wanted to interact with Dove, so of course I was despairing, wondering if I'd ever get to explore what I wanted to explore with her. But then I decided, you know what, so what if I can't find any canon Titans to advance her Tumblr timeline? I'll just fill in the blanks with fanfic canon, and work from there! Making that decision was so freeing.

Do you think rp has had a positive or negative affect on your life or you as a person? Oh, positive, absolutely. I may be too busy to really attend to it much nowadays, but my writing style has improved DRAMATICALLY, I've made so many friends, and I've learned things about Dove that I never would've discovered in the stories alone. (Or at least, it might've been discovered on a ten-year delay. 8F)

How has rp changed you personally? I was able to find fast friends, make connections with people over common interests, and my very first experience with leadership happened because I hung around a TTOC dA chatroom (because, specifically, I’d gotten ADDICTED to rp), came to love the people and characters, and decided, when the current admins had to step down, I would like to step up.

If you could change one thing about rp on tumblr, what would it be? Why? I'd like tags to stop breaking, that'd be nice. (But that’s an issue with Tumblr itself, not the rps.)

Have you ever sent a message to yourself on anon? Why? Pff, no. Mostly because if I really want something to happen, I'll either post an open, OR I'll do what I'm doing here, and just answer the questions myself. 8F I have a lot of fun doing this with headcanon question lists.

Have you ever sent hate to yourself on anon? Why? No, but that's because I'm all about learning (+spreading) positive self-talk, de-escalation, and avoiding drama. Drama doesn't serve anyone.

Do you delete anon hate or post and address it? Why? I address it and then block the sender, because I want everyone to know I don't stand for that. And I have this stubborn streak about standing up for myself, so, you know... Gotta Address It First. (And I've defended Dove from Mary Sue accusations since I started posting about her in 2006, so it doesn't bother me, but I love pointing out all the reasons that, Jack Rider voice: You Are Wrong!)

Have you ever felt pressured to write something you weren’t comfortable with? Nope, but that's because if I can't or don't want to, I'm open and transparent about it. (Not on Tumblr, anyways. There was one particular person in the dA chats that kept trying to make RPs All About His Muse, but we shut that down too.)

Have you ever followed someone because you felt like you had to, not because you wanted to? Hell no! I've never Automatically Followed Back, and it's right there in my rules, I need a little communication before I start interacting.

What would make you block someone? Anon hate, reblogging/replying to rps that don't involve them, starting their own rps on my posts, Bad Takes in the Tags, shipping something I genuinely can't stand... I use the block button pretty liberally. I just don't need that stuff in my life, in my tags, or on my dash.

Have you ever stolen something from someone else? Well I have adopted a couple of headcanons re: Canon Characters from the teentitansheadcanons blog. (Like hc that, one time, Beast Boy was a bug and someone almost squished him, so now they put all the bugs outside, just in case. I love that for some reason, so I adopted it.) And every now and again I'll see something in fanfic I like: Azarath Has Two Suns, I saw that in a fanfic and it just felt so RIGHT, so I adopted that too. But, I mean, rping as an OC, there's really not a lot I can steal. 8F

Have you ever had something stolen from you? If so, how did you handle it? Not on Tumblr, but somebody once stole a picture of Srentha from dA and used it in a random webs-page blog about their dreams? ??? I have no idea why they used him, or how they even fOUND him, but I kinda just shrugged and let it go.

Are you open to duplicates? Why / why not? (Isn't this basically the same question as "are you exclusive"? Because I have the same answer. I am, because I like seeing other muns' interpretations of the same character.)

How do you feel about vague posting? Use your own judgement for your own blog, but it's not something I do myself. If I have to vaguepost to vent something, I'll usually go on a more private blog, or at least stick it under a Read More.

Do you follow people even if they don’t follow you back? Yes! I like reading rps almost as much as I like writing them.

Do you read people’s rules before following or interacting? Always.

What is your opinion on “reblog karma” and do you practice it? I try to! Sometimes I can't figure out what to send in for the blog I get in from, but most of the time, I'll send something any time I reblog something. I really appreciate it when people send something in before reblogging from me, personally. c: (I get it if you can’t or don’t want to. But it sure is nice!)

How have you responded to popular slang used on tumblr? Do you use it in every day life? Do you use it at all? Not really, but I rarely use slang at all. Unless I'm actually talking about rp, muses, muns, etc, then I'll use those words.

Is there something you don’t know the meaning of but you haven’t asked anyone because you think it’s supposed to be general knowledge? Was there ever something you had to ask someone to explain? I'm that Ravenclaw who always asks questions as soon as I encounter I don't know, and I don't use words without knowing what they mean. Kinda defeats the purpose of words that way.

Have you ever experienced discrimination? Well, Dove has, since people have that "I don't like OCs" mindset. Or "she's related to a canon character, so she's automatically a Mary Sue". It's not as big of a Discrimination as sexism or racism, don't get me wrong! But it HAS limited our scope of interaction, and I personally think it’s a little unfair to make judgments like that.

How do you feel about personal blogs following your rp blog? Go for it.

Have you ever cried while writing a reply? Mmmmaybe once? More often my heartrate just raises a little in an exciting moment, or I write out a ten-paragraph response in a one-hour fit of delighted manic wordsmithing, but I've definitely been touched. (I'm just... not very good at crying when I'm focused on writing. 8F)

Do you read other people’s threads or do you only read your own? There's definitely a bias towards my own! (Before my EHD died, I had about a hundred and fifty rps saved as word documents.) But I also enjoy reading others' threads.

What’s one thing that other people seem to hate that doesn’t bother you? Hmm...Spelling and grammatical errors. When I was copying chat rps to word docs, I started editing the replies for readability, and that habit kinda transferred to Tumblr, so when I'm not in a hurry, or I have an Unusually Long Attention Span, when I copy the replies, sometimes I'll just edit them, but I'm not mad about it. Just got into that habit.

How do you feel about tagging triggers? Do you tag them? How do you determine what is triggering content and what isn’t? It is absolutely ESSENTIAL for me to have triggers tagged for ME, so of course I extend the same courtesy to others. I don't presume to know what triggers people; I've made it very clear that if anyone needs something tagged, they just have to ask, and I'll tag it. No questions asked. (Though if they want to vent about it, I'm open to that too.)

What advice would you give to someone new to rp? Just GO for it! I know it can be scary and intimidating and overwhelming to see a great writer and think, "Gosh I want to interact with them So Much".. .and you know what, sometimes you will get rejected. Sometimes you just won't mesh with muns. Sometimes your characters don't have a very exciting dynamic. But you'll never find those Goldmine RP Partners if you don't at least ASK.

How did you start writing? I've never been a writer and the thought of writing something literally never came to my mind until well after i started reading fics, so i'm curious to know how writers i like got their start. Specially in your case bc you also draw. How is your relationship with writing different than the one you have with drawing?

Ooooh, excellent question! Unfortunately, my answer is probably less than helpful, because I’ve been making up (usually incredibly bad) stories for longer than I’ve actually been able to write them down. My brain churns out action and chase sequences while I’m out running, softer emotional scenes when I’m listening to music and cleaning my house, and dumb dialogue ideas while I’m in the shower. And, really, I’ve always been that way, right from when I was a toddler playing with plastic animals.

But, I’m gonna morph your question slightly and hopefully give you a little more of a useful answer: it’s been more recently that I’ve started really started to put together long, coherent plots with some complexity to them. Where I got my best practice doing that was actually while RPing with close friends. It allows you to collaborate and come up with story ideas with someone else, and bounce around ideas. On top of that, it motivates you to actually write, because your partner is waiting on you. If you have the right partner(s), it really gives you a lot of ability to grow as a writer too, because you catch other perspectives and you can get pretty good at balancing complex characters. I’ve taken creative writing courses, but I’m solidly ‘meh’ on how effective they are. Learned a LOT about pushing boundaries (especially from some modern poetry stuff that I did) and weaving together plot from the classes, but learned far more about character interactions and dialogue from RPing with buddies.

As far as writing vs drawing... I’ve been drawing for a long-ass time too, but I sort of see them as two ways to express an idea. I write if I want to communicate a series of events to form the idea or feeling, and I draw if I want to communicate a single moment to form the idea or feeling (or if I want a visual representation of that idea/feeling). I try to keep both skills sharp, because I genuinely love doing both and I enjoy having both skill sets. I’ve actually had a very, very long interest in graphic novels, and would love to write and illustrate one one day, but it’s a lot of work. I may adapt some scenes from FR&H into comic form at some point, actually, but I need to focus on the story itself first.

Hopefully that was helpful, or at least interesting!! Thank you for the question! <3

How to enter a fandom - RPC

Hey guys, time for a friendly PSA from yours truely~

So I’ve been in and out of a lot of fandoms, made friends, enemies, frenemies, grave mistakes and happy accidents. I also see a lot of people come in other fandoms. Most of yall do great but I see some people carry in this weird sort of self deprecating attitude that can immediately turn rpers away from them, which results in; more of that self deprecation. So Im here to hopefully help out with the best ways to enter a fandom or an rpc, make your presence known and make lots of wonderful friends.

Now the first, and most important thing, and I notice a ton of people struggle with it is:

General attitude.

Let me give two examples of some first time posts.

“Hey! I’m new to the fandom. I know my bio and my theme sucks but would anyone like to rp? Maybe?”

VS.

“Hey! I’m new to the fandom. My bio and rules are located here, though they’re still under construction I’m really eager to develop them with interactions!”

Now I know the first one is tempting for a lot of reasons. You might not even feel like its all that bad, but up next to the second one it actually sounds a little...depressing, monotone, dry. Even though they start the same, one ends with me feeling like: this person really doesn’t put effort into things, they dont even really want to be here. All my threads with them are going to be lazily written or probably written with half baked enthusiasm.

The second person is happy to be here, eager to interact, admits that since they’re a new blog not everything is perfect. Yet, they don’t talk down on themselves or make it seem like anyone who talks to them will only be taking pity on them.

This is actually a big problem I see in the rpc. Making people take pity on you for interactions and the rule with that is simple:

don’t make people feel like they have to take pity on you.

It’s a knee jerk reaction, I know. We’re all awkward humans on the internet who want to play up our faults. Who wants to say “My stuff is SO awesome! It’s the best”???

Well. You do. You’re new to a fandom. People already have established relationships, character arks, possibly with another version of the muse youre playing. Backstories so detailed it’ll make your head spin. You are literally selling yourself to these other rpers. Don’t sell them “A vacuum cleaner that sucks. No, not sucks up the dirt, it just sucks. Like me, Im trash and dont even have a working vacuum” No one wants to buy a vacuum cleaner that sucks.

Hate to break it to you, but when you say you suck, or your stuff sucks; people are gunna believe you. Or they’re just gunna pity you. And thats not great either.

Heck you might think; why not? So long as they rp with me, whats wrong with that?

Well... lots of things but mostly; pity isn’t a good feeling. Nobody wants to feel guilted into rping with you. Imagine seeing someone on your dash constantly posting about how no one likes them, their character or interacting with them. How they wanna die because they never get asks, no one likes their starters. (Sound extreme? I’ve seen it.) It makes you feel bad right? It makes you wanna like them but like- where do you even start??? They don’t even like them?? What common ground do you have?? “Hey, I see you hate yourself... uh... I hate you too?” Not great. Actually bad. You don’t know how to approach this person without becoming an emotional crutch, and you know they’ll latch on to you and suck every positive emotion out of your body so how do you win?

So lesson one is; People don’t want to be forced to feel so bad that they rp with you, they want to feel inspired to. Inspire some dudes! (or non-dude identifying people)

Presentation!

This is everything. Present yourself. You don’t need flashy icons or a cool promo- let me tell you, I’ve made some shitty promos in my life. See Here

That was my promo for a long as time. Until it was THIS that a friend made for me (A friend that I made. Through how awesome I presented myself. Thanks Vee, if you see this I still love you)

I can’t stress enough how important attitude is because I’ve had both a shitty attitude and a great one in the RPC and let me tell you, nothing kills a blog faster than a shitty attitude. Wanna make a self deprecating posts about that meme that you got 0 asks for? NUH UH. Think again. PITY = BAD, SHORT LASTING FRIENDSHIPS. INSPIRED = SUPER AWESOME HAPPY FUN TIMES FOREVER.

Yo, present yourself in a way that makes people wanna approach you. Get them interested, say something wacky or edgy or if your character is self deprecating then self deprecate through them but DO IT IN A FUN WAY. The people who care about icons and fancy promos usually aren’t worth lasting friendships either. Sometimes they literally spend more time formatting than writings something worth while for you. (some of you really balance it and just love formatting but u know im not talking about u Im talking about those that literally wont talk to us that dont)

So present yourself well and be genuine.

--- WAIT WAIT WAIT- be genuine?? What if my genuine self is self deprecating and negative?

[JOHNNY TEST NOISE]

HELL NO shut the what up I know you’re not, I know that’s a reflex to cover up how insecure you are, I know you hate how pathetic and small you feel so you point out all the things wrong with you before someone else can. That’s not you, and you are capable of more than that.

Dude. (and non-dude identifying peeps) I’m gunna say it again. I’m gunna say it a million times; one day it will sink in. Everybody feels that way.

What?? Octo ur so cool and confident tho

You know how you never noticed?? CANT SEE MY HANDS SHAKE THROUGH THE COMPUTER.

DONT KNOW HOW LONG I HESITATED BEFORE SENDING THAT ASK MEME TO YA.

The internet is a playground because you can trick people into believing whatever you want about yourself. YEP even good things!!! You don’t have to wear your flaws on your sleeve, and you certainly don’t have to wear them like a full body cast that prevents you from doing anything fun in your life.

Take the cast off, take a risk. You literally have nothing to lose. Especially if no one interacts with you as is anyways.

Be mindful

This is more of a trick I use to make myself feel better. I don’t follow a lot of people so my dash is pretty slow. It’s fairly easy to tell when people are and aren’t active/online so I literally have to trick myself sometimes but;

If you reblog a meme and get nothing, step back and ask yourself; am I sure anyone even saw it? and are the people who did maybe to shy to send anything? Or maybe nothing in that meme applies to their character.

As a mute character I am VERY restricted to what memes I reply to. As a character who speaks VERY LITTLE I am VERY restricted to what dialogues I can send at all. This means I’m required to edit memes a little (this is allowed by most meme creators btw) or I need a very good relationship with a character in order to say/sign that many words at them.

And worse case scenario, queue it and reblog it again/later. Its no biggie, some memes don’t make it.

Self reflect

Check out people on the dash. Do they have interactions? What are they like? Is their character more welcoming? Maybe you’re character is more intimidating. You might need to actually seek out interaction.

Tumblr has this huge enigma where everyone wants asks but no one wants to send them. Curious anons come from someone, magic anons come from your peers, followers, friends. Some of them are pretty obvious. Want asks? Send them. We really need to get the ball rolling with this because its honestly a problem. Show some initiative and reach out. It actually feels pretty good seeing someone react to your outrageous anon. And its a lot of stress relief if you play an otherwise very serious character to get to branch out and be silly.

So you send asks, you like starter calls- why isn’t it working?

Well, a stranger knocks on your door and tries to get to know you. Its a little awkward- it can work sure in some cases. But in most you’ll probably close the door and phone the police.

The RPC isn’t as strange as that but what’s easier? Talking to a muse you’ve never met from a blog you’ve never seen before? Or writing a thread with your best bud, throwing in inside jokes and references to your favourite shows- teasing each other about that one embarrassing thing that happened to your muse- yeah. Yeah you get it.

If you have history or at least an idea what someone is like, you will want to interact with them more. I don’t know if you’re some mean... meanie pants whos gunna smack my muse because he offered you a cookie. And maybe you are, but if I don’t know you, or know that your muse is deeply traumatized by cookies, I might take that as you saying “Ew no get away I never wanna rp with you”.

It sounds harsh, but I KNOW it happens. It STILL happens to me, even with people I’m friends with. Even if someone has multiple blogs and I get on fine with one muse, if the other hates me I might get uneasy about sending in asks cause I feel like I’m directly bothering the mun (who I love on this blog but WHAT IF THEY START HATING ME THERE TOO???)

Separation is tricky. We all get jealous or feel neglected when our partners focus on another thread/ship or send mean angsty replies which is why its important to check yourself remind yourself you have value, mun =/= muse and that it’s all in good fun.

Have Rules

UGH no!!! Not rules I hate rules, I dont want to restrict anyone!

Listen. I get it. I was a rule-less blog for a long time. But you know what? You need them. Not just for you, but for the people who wanna interact. I still feel the need to ask people who have rules what they are and aren’t comfortable with. You might not realize it but shit can go down in rps especially in certain fandoms. Even if its just the basics. Write them. They matter.

Unless you’re fine with someone literally controlling your character, or a blog you dont even follow who RPs David Letterman tags you in a smutty thread where your muse and him are married and he’s heavily pregnant with 4 narwal baby’s I- I think you can see where I’m going.

If its just the basics, thats fine, everyone loves seeing that. No god modding, not forced shipping, ect- great. Less for me to remember. Add to it if you need to. Everyone experiences rp different. Make your experience a comfortable one.

(And stay tf away from me Preggo-letterman)

Step away.

If you’re feeling negative, just step away. Do not make a big post about it alerting everyone who follows you because they might not all respond well. If you have close friends in then fandom you can go to, talk to them, vent a little, or just remove yourself and get those feelings out. But remember that no one here is equipped to be your therapist, and we cant all be expected to take the burden from you. It is up to you to regulate your emotions. Use coping skills but please don’t make the fandom or your blog a toxic place to be.

You don’t feel good, and no one reading your posts feels good, and building friendships on not feeling good is just... completely not good.

Im not saying you must be sunshine and rainbows all the time, but feeling bad feels bad and even though rping is just a hobby and a past time you are still reaching into other peoples lives. Leave a good impact, try to be someone you would want to meet in the rpc. Make it a better place.

Tips and Tricks

If you leave with nothing else, please take these:

Send Messages.

IM people, send them asks, get to know them before RPing.

Be kind.

Be generous.

Be enthusiastic.

Be happy.

#PSA!!!#Im so so so SO sorry its so long #I tried really hard to make it entertaining #anyways I just get a lot of people asking me how to enter the RPC and...#I wish I had heard this shit when I started lmao #rp #tumblr rp #roleplay

hello pace! we’re a newly revamped skeleton rp about a group of gifted vigilantes trying to protect their decaying city. could we please trouble you for an opinion? thank you so much!

hi there ! of course you can ! because this is the first opinion posted on this blog, i’m just gonna start with a little disclaimer both so you know, and for anybody who also might want an opinion in the future, but the rest is under the cut !

DISCLAIMER: my opinions/reviews are kind of a two in one, and always going to be worded as kindly as possible. everything i say is only said with the intention of helping to improve an rp so it can reach its full potential and thrive, both as somebody with a personal opinion on most things, someone who’s been an admin before, and someone who knows what the rpc is like and what they’re usually drawn to. i’m always going to be nice and try to focus on the positives before critiquing the negatives, and i fully understand and appreciate the hard work that goes into creating an rp; nothing sucks more than having your hard work ripped apart and i will never do that. everything will be split into sections that i think are important, just so i can keep track of what i have or haven’t said yet, and so it’s easier to read and doesn’t look like an intimidating chunk of Opinion ! and finally and most importantly, my opinion is just that ! an opinion ! in the grand scheme of things, the opinion of one person ( yours truly, in this case ! ) really doesn’t matter if i say something you disagree with and don’t wish to change, as you’re free to run your rp as you wish ! however, if at any point you wish for me to take this post down for any reason, please just ask and i’ll happily oblige. i’ll make the most private, but shoot you an im with the link to the private post so you can still refer back to it if you so wish !

spoiler: y’all are going in my rec tag !

FIRST IMPRESSION. immediately, i’m happy ! your theme is clean & tidy, and everything looks really neat and easy to navigate. all important information is easily accessible, and would definitely make me want to navigate around the main further even if i weren’t about to do so for opinion purposes ! your graphics are bloody lovely, and the first post i see when i load the main is a skeleton specifically for a non-binary character, and with a nb fc as one of the suggestions, so already i’m happy, and would be more inclined to consider applying if that was why i’m looking ! genuinely, i wouldn’t change a thing about the main’s appearance, i love it.

CHARACTERS & FCs.i actually really love skeleton rps ! i could be wrong, but i feel like that’s actually an unpopular opinion these days ? but i love a good skeleton rp myself ! and i think you’ve found a really great balance between giving enough information to spark muse but leaving enough room for creative freedom, which can be hard ! it’s not often that i’m drawn to more than a couple of skeletons at most, but every single one i looked at is intriguing as heck. they’re such well-written characters that it’d be hard for anybody to create a muse that doesn’t end up being multidimensional and interesting —– at least i hope so. i love that there’s nb rep, skeletons specially made for characters of colour, and encouragement for ‘older’ characters. really, it’s great stuff. and writing the skeletons in second person ? genius !

PLOT.genuinely, i love the plot and the way it’s written. there’s enough information there to get a full grip on the rp and the plotline, but the way you’ve written it makes it easy to read, and you can get all the information required without being faced with a big block of text that a lot of people find intimidating. usually, i’d be put-off by the genre of superheros ( nothing to do with it as a genre, i’m sure it’s great, but it’s just not my thing, y’know ? ) but with the way the main is run and the plot in itself would really make that not matter to me ! i’m just a little bit in love with it. the world you’ve built is so intriguing !

GENERAL ADMINNING.again, this seems to be a very well run rp ! asks are answered with kindness and openness, and i’d personally have no problem sending an ask your way if i had any questions or approaching you via the ims if i needed to as a member. your dedication also shows in the fact that you guys have recently revamped, and whether it’s to give the rp a boost or to fine tune some things, it shows that you’re dedicated to your group and the members who’ll be joining, and would make me more inclined to apply, too — i love nothing more than dedicated admins. the only thing i’d say on a tad more negative note is that the gif icons you’re using might be a little small for my taste, but they’re nice and bright so don’t cause too much trouble when it comes to seeing them ! your activity limit being six days is very reasonable and considerate, and very much appreciated, and i also love that your rules state not to write godmoddy starters, as i feel like that’s often neglected when it comes to what people think gomodding is. the banning of any text smaller than , the inclusion of a mandatory triggers to tag list, the lack of specific age-bending rules, the opportunity to add any fcs that make you uncomfortable to the app, the fact that you state that anonymous can be turned off or not enabled in the first place, and the fact that properly using people’s pronouns is in your rules… all brilliant, brilliant things. the rp is obviously a safe, inclusive space, and you make that clear by showing and not telling, and it makes me more inclined to want to join and recommend to friends. i also think your starter rule is very fair, as i feel like a lot of rps take it too far as of recently, and make interactions quite limiting by forcing people to reply to starters that don’t fit their muse, or forcing them to take on more threads than they can handle. i think you’ve got the perfect balance, though, and encourage inclusivity and the lack of bubble rping without taking it too far. however, i’d perhaps say that if you’re allowing minors into the rp, the writing of smut at all might not be the best idea, even though the rules you have in place are appreciated, and to maybe add the banning of autoplay on character blogs.

EXTRAS.including questions about the muse in the app is such a brilliant idea ! both for your sake and helping to decipher who is the best applicant to fill the skeleton, but also for the folks applying, as it’ll lead to them to think about their muse a little deeper and think about things in the long-run. i really think it’ll help weed out the people who aren’t looking to stick around, even more than a full-app rp usually does !

ENDING NOTES.my friend, you’ve created something really special here. i genuinely, truly wish you the best of luck, and hope you thrive as it’s really well-deserved ! i know i tend to end up giving the lovechild of a standard review and your average opinion, but my opinion is that this rp is fucking glorious. i’m gonna finish each of these on this blog by asking myself would i consider joining this rp if i were looking for one, and the answer this time is a very firm and enthusiastic yes ! congratulations on your revamp, and for sticking to your rp and the ideas for nearly two years, and good luck !

Hi, listen, you’re very important to me and I hope you know that because I probably don’t say it enough!

I’ve known you for a long-ish time, Internet Time wise. A few years? Definitely more than a couple. Initially in that time range we didn’t really interact too much -you were mostly RPing with other people, I was mostly RPing with other people, but I remember spending a lot of time wanting to interact more and more because I admired the quality of your writing so much (and the fact that you seemed like an incredibly sane and level-headed person behind the screen).

You are seriously so talented, whether you’re writing stories or poetry, and I genuinely look forward to reading what you put out when I see that you’ve posted something -- even if it’s just something you’re reblogging from the past. When you were going through the process of stepping away from the game I was genuinely concerned that you were going to stop creating. Please don’t -- even if it’s not WoW related, you have stories to tell and they’re worth putting out in the world.

At the end of the day I’m so glad that I pushed myself into getting that “more” that I wanted. All the RP we’ve done together has been great, I enjoy chatting with you in Discord and pushing you asks through Tumblr. You’re having to deal with a lot right now, and I know I’ve already said it a few times but I’ll say it again: Take your time, focus on you and what you need to do for yourself -- I’m not going anywhere anytime soon, and if you need anything you know where to find me. You’re my friend, and that makes you important to me.

As far as your characters go - you have so many so I’m gonna stick to the ones that I’ve interacted with the most:

Dicenne - This was the first character I ever met you on, so Dice is pretty special to me. He’s probably a lot of people’s favorite because he’s your big “outward facing” persona. My favorite aspect of him is how family-forward he is. I love getting to hear about his sister, and how he’s moved forward after great loss in his life. He’s always been such a positive force towards everyone he meets in spite of all that’s happened to him.

Talonoa - Lyn will always look back fondly on the time she spent working for him. She misses sparring in the mornings, but sometimes things end for one reason or another. He’s always been one of your more mysterious characters for me, because you had so much going on with him before I got into your stories. I adore his interactions with Naralinthe, their interactions with Gaebral & C. Also hey, the world always needs its badass silver foxes.

Pollux - Gosh I love Pollux. He’s got a lot going on, and he’s got a lot that you haven’t had time to write, and this is one of the characters that I think you have a lot of on going potential for -- which isn’t to say that you don’t have that on your other characters either -- but he’s also one of you’re (relatively) newer guys and he has some good connections to other characters that give you a lot of room to explore a lot more. He’s one I very much look forward to seeing more from.

Xylaes - Oh Xylaes. Swoon. He’s such a mess. Delightfully a tragic, wonderful mess. I have a similar feeling for him with what I said above; He’s newer, you have so much room to run with yet, and I’ve already been so engaged with the backstory bits and pieces you’ve been putting out. There’s so much I want to see happen for him, and you’re probably going to break my heart about it in various ways because that’s what you do.

Anyway, thanks for being awesome @turning-through-the-never!

#it did say to gush right #it truly means the world to me that you've kept in touch #I'll never forget that #long post #turning-through-the-never

Important OOC

Hey guys, Scythe here. I’m the mun of Karkat, obviously, and I have a couple of things I’d like to say. I’m sure those who need to will understand that they’re being addressed.

First thing is first, if you can’t make it through this with an open mind, then you shouldn’t have started talking in the first place, let alone using me as a fucking weapon against one of my best friends. I’ve known Little for a couple of years now, and I’m sure I know a hell of a lot more about her than a few hypocrites who sling the word “pedophile” around like they won’t completely ruin the life of someone who doesn’t deserve it if they say it in the wrong place.

To start off with, let me just say that I really fucking hate that you dragged me into this. I did not consent to be used as weaponry in another tumblr witch hunt, and at the time this all started, I was going through Navy boot camp, with my only connection to my friends and family being letters that took weeks to send. It was one of the most stressful things I’ve ever gone through, but I made it through with my head high. I still had and have a long way to go, but I was proud of what I had accomplished and was excited to get back into roleplaying. RP had always been my escape from stress and I looked forward to being able to go back into doing what I loved.

Instead of that, though, I came back to find out that people had started going after my friend. I barely even had a chance to enjoy my newly regained freedom before I was being plunged into a whole world of drama. I had a lot on my plate already, I was starting up school and had other shit to deal with. I wanted to do something, but I was already struggling to keep up with what I had already without adding online drama to the mix.

I did what I could with the spoons I had, which unfortunately wasn’t much, but thankfully things had *seemed,* from where I stood at least, to die down some. That was a relief to me, I could focus on my classes and worry about just getting through my schooling.

But then the whole fucking thing exploded.

I’m exactly three weeks from graduating. I have a test worth twenty-five percent of my grade coming up. My GPA is the lowest in my class, and if I fail this it means I don’t get to go home for Christmas. It means that I’ll get set back and potentially lose the job I have lined up.

And here I am, writing this and sharing personal information that I really would rather keep to myself. Why? Because what I want doesn’t matter. Because personal things about me were released without my permission or consent, for a problem that had been resolved long before anyone decided to stick their noses where they didn’t belong, and because they decided to take matters into their own hands without the full story. Because tumblr wants to play witch hunt. Because tumblr wants to find something that someone did wrong and demonize them for it, but no one wants to get the whole story from the two parties that actually matter before going off on a tangent about how awful and disgusting someone is. Instead of asking Little for her side or asking me, the “minor” that you all suddenly want to “protect,” you jump to the worst conclusion and then poison the minds of others - not that that’s hard, the people you’re poisoning are just like you, ready to turn on someone at the drop of a hat without ever thinking to ask the two people in the situation who actually matter what their side is.

Then you demand to know their side, only to twist and tear their words into sharp pieces that you can use to nail them on their cross with, because you don’t actually give a fuck about “protecting the minors” or “revealing the truth about awful people.” All you want is to feel high and mighty, to feel like you’re doing good and making a difference.

Well guess what! You certainly made one hell of a difference! You absolutely made an impact. You made an impact by taking something that someone did ages ago back when they didn’t know it wasn’t okay and hanging it around their neck like a dog shaming photo. You made an impact by making it seem like I, someone who is perfectly competent, fully capable and sound of mind, was manipulated and used for things I didn’t want.

You know what I didn’t want? I didn’t want to be weaponized. I didn’t want to be treated like I wasn’t fully capable of making my own decisions. I didn’t want my best friend to be thrown into trouble over something that we didn’t know wasn’t okay until after I fucking turned 18. Which, for the record, it was clarified that we didn’t know better and that after we did learn that little tidbit, we were both significantly more careful about watching for ages.

I am so. Fucking. Sick. Of high school level bullshit. I got out of high school and went into boot camp thinking that maybe FINALLY people would be able to act like adults. Nope, still a bunch of babyfaced idiots too big for their britches treating each other like children and acting like high schoolers. Maybe, I thought, my classes will be different. Nope, everyone is still acting like they’re in high school, even the 35 year olds.

And you all are the exact same way. You want to pitch a fit about an issue that was long resolved, you want to spread rumors, you want to tear someone down, you want to be bitter and kick someone while they’re down over something completely unrelated to make yourself feel good, because that’s all you care about. You all got upset because Little was roleplaying with a minor. Okay, that’s all fine and dandy. But then you’re going to go and act like children yourselves. You’re going to bitch and complain about her rping with a minor and then you’re not even going to act like fucking adults. You don’t get the full story. You don’t ask who matters. You listen to and spread nasty rumors. When she makes a statement explaining herself and the fact that the issue was already resolved, you want to keep dragging her through the dirt, because you don’t care about the truth. You don’t care that she made an honest mistake and made up for it. You only care about feeling like you did something worthwhile.

Congratulations, you made an impact. You made an impact on me and my life. You’ve stressed me sick and made my grades drop when failing could genuinely fuck up my career and my life. You’ve made me afraid to pick up my phone in case there’s more shit out there using me to hurt my close friend. You even made me hate the idea of getting on my own fucking blogs because you drove my friend off of the whole fucking site.

Congratu-fucking-lations, you made an impact. I hope you’re damn proud of yourselves. Good job protecting the minors from those dangerous people out there via manipulation, petty actions, and straight up bullying via unasked for art critique. You are the mature one, it is you.

Good job nailing the bad guy.

♡ preferred name: Cecil ♡ age: 23 ♡ pronouns: they/them, or he/him preferably at least online (not out irl, so that changes things in that regard as far as referring to me when in person tbh) But I don’t care as long as you give my identity respect, whatever i’m labeling it on any given day. I’m not 100% on my identity, but i’m at least 99% certain it isn’t completely cis. So just. keep that in mind regardless of what you use for me. ♡ sexuality: Ace and Queer ♡ height: 5′2″ ♡ hair colour: Brown with vaguely red undertones. ♡ relationship status: Single

FAVOURITE THINGS:

♡ favourite colour: Lavender and cerulean ♡ favourite song: I have no clue whatsoever. I don’t really have a favorite song??? I’m bad on the spot idk. ♡ favourite band / artist: aHHH. IDK TBH. I’M BAD AT THINKING ON THE SPOT AND I’M NOT SURE I HAVE A FAVORITE RN. ♡ favourite youtubers: for the sake of things we’ll just say it’s a lot of asmrtists, don’t look at me like that i’m an anxious trash panda it’s so soft and easy. ♡ favourite food: Spaghet ♡ favourite family member: probably my twin sister ♡ favourite bird: I,,,, loVE ALL BIRDS. YOU’LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE I CAN’T PICK. ALL BIRDS ARE PURE AND GOOD AND DESERVE MY LOVE. ♡ favourite animal: Cats, birds, small fuzzies. But I do like reptiles on the low-key as well. ♡ favourite celebrity: i genuinely don’t have a favorite celebrity, i don’t think. I generally like most celebrities if I’m enjoying what they’re in. But I don’t really,,,, keep up with any of them. So I have no idea. Bellamy Young? Idk I’m kinda gay for her don’t look at me. ♡ favourite time of day: Nighttime probably. ♡ favourite holiday(s): Whatever holiday in any given year was the most enjoyable at the time. Don’t have a set favorite. Not really a holiday person, never grew up with proper traditions so it just never settled in me to have a favorite without other people getting really into it and thus encouraging some level of enjoyment in me. ♡ favourite season: Probably like,,, early summer. Don’t like the wasps, but the answer still stands. ♡ favourite fruit: Strawberries ♡ favourite flower: snapdragons. u can squeeze them and make them look like they’re talking. but pansies are also cute. ♡ favourite emoji(s): 👉😎👉 ♡ favourite app: y’all idk. I really don’t. ♡ favourite hobby: it’s either reading, or RPing here on this hellsite. I don’t have other hobbies, I’m boring as fuck. ♡ favourite country: I don’t know. I have only ever been the US, but I also don’t want to say US, because the US kinda sucks ass sometimes. ♡ favourite weather: Where it’s warm, but not too hot, and not too cold. ♡ favourite element: Air. ♡ favourite language: I only know how to speak and understand English at the current time, hOWEVER. I love the look and vibe of ASL and one day want to learn how to do the sign language thing. I’d learn through books during time while I’m not in any classes for it because,,,, that’s a process and I have anxiety out the ass. But I don’t process visuals well unless someone’s physically doing it in front of me, and fuck my memory’s bad. But ASL. It’s a beautiful language. Love it. I’ll fuckin’ learn it one day. One day.

NAME OF:

♡ name of your crush: I literally don’t have any crushes. ♡ name of your pet(s): So there are like,,, seven cats (Lana, Wheeze, Winston, Floof, Abelas, Frisk, and Pounce), and four birds (Regis, Peeps, Mimi, and Boo Boo.) ♡ name(s) of your best friend(s): Reilly, Jan, Arin, Six, as far as online friends are concerned. Also my twin sister.

THIS OR THAT?

♡ introvert or extrovert: Introvert, I’d love to be extroverted but I’m easily burned out by lots of personal contact and also I have really bad social anxiety to boot so it’s just a horrible mix of things that lead me to having mostly online friends. and only like two IRL friends that aren’t family. ♡ nerdy or sassy: Punny. ♡ tall or short: do you mean, myself or preference for people? I myself am short. Preference for others I almost by default have to say tall just because most people are taller than me. But generally don’t mind either way. ♡ looks or personality: Personality ♡ homesick or traveler: Homesick ♡ musician or artist: Either or. I love them both. ♡ woods or city: City ♡ tv or youtube: Youtube, probably. ♡ phone or computer: Both, but in a scenario where I could only have one for a period of time I’d say phone. I can use it like a computer for personal reasons up to the point I’m able to be back on the computer, and if I need a computer for something specific then I borrow someone’s for a minute. But I like having both. ♡ family or money: I don’t know. ♡ books or movies: Books. Movies are great, but I have ADHD and can’t focus on them 95% of the time. Books almost force me to focus on them if I’m gonna do it at all, where as movies are easy to not watch. So books. But I do like a good movie once in a while. When the mood strikes. ♡ food or sleep: Actual good sleep, I’m always fucking tired. Food is fine, it tastes good, I like it. But eating is tedious, making food is hard i’m bad at cooking. And I have ADHD so it has to be simple or I lose all will and motivation and focus to actually make it half the time and most things require more energy or concentration even if it’s easy than I can handle at any given time at the moment. It’s also tedious. So for now I’d rather have sleep.

SHIPPING

I am multi-ship and multi-verse, so anyone is open to ship with Lily.

I love shipping. I am shipping trash, HOWEVER, I never go into an interaction pursuing or assuming a ship.

I ship chemistry.

Feel free to approach me if you’d like to ship— don’t be shy.

Do not force or assume a ship on me.

I do not do pre-established ships.

The ship can't be the central focus of our threads. Merely an element.

CONTENT

Mun is well over the age of 21, so nsfw friendly. It will be tagged appropriately and placed under a read-more. I will not RP nsfw content with anyone who does not mention being over 18 on their blog. I do not care if your country’s age of consent is younger than that.

No rape, suicide, detailed gore, or active drug use, please.

If you have any triggers, please let me know, I am not psychic. I myself do not have any triggers.

The closest thing to a trigger that I have is drug use and abuse, and addiction. You do not have to tag it, but just keep it away from threads with me, please.

All art featured on this blog is not mine. Banners, side images, icons, and promos are constructed by me but do not contain my own artwork.

Though rare, and only with muns whom I am comfortable with, there may be smut. It has to fit with the story. I am also cool with time skips, fading to black, and non-descript poetic summaries. Or, you know, just not writing smut in general.

KEYS TO WRITING WITH ME

I love plotting and communication. It’s my favorite part of RPing besides the writing part. I love being able to talk about our muses, threads, plotting, memeing it up, etc. I will not follow people who refuse to communicate with their mutuals.

I much prefer multi-para to novella. I am not picky and do not expect novella, I myself cannot always manage to write that much. But single liners do not motivate me. If you only write single liners or less than a paragraph, we won’t make great writing partners.

I’m a little iffy on thread hopping. If you lose your muse so fast you can’t even make it 2-3 responses into a single thread with me, I will likely lose all motivation to write with you. Nothing against you, but it can sometimes take a lot of time and energy to write, so it really bums me out when my threads with someone die immediately. I’m only comfortable with hopping around our muse’s timeline once they are familiar with each other. But constantly dropping threads kills my motivation to write and if you do this, no shaming, but we may not be the best writing partners.

I am a flexible roleplayer. If none of my muse’s verses work with yours, I am willing to create verses better suited. We just need to talk it out a bit as the verse may stay between the two of us.

Be patient with me. I have an extremely stressful and physically exhausting job. Most days I do not have the energy to write a ton. So please, do not pester me for a thread response. You may ask only once and only after a week has gone by.

I try to respond to my threads in the order in which I receive them. I try to not play favorites.

I will not inform you if and when I have dropped a thread because I don’t even know when I’ve dropped a thread.

Please do not god mod, even the slightest bit without my consent. This is the biggest mood killer for me. I won’t even say anything, I will likely just stop responding to the thread because god modding is the most common sense no-no when it comes to RPing.

My muses are dynamic characters with backgrounds and depth who will experience character growth and express different parts of their personality. Do not typecast my muse and run with it like they're a joke.

So you notice I am reblogging and responding to memes but I haven’t responded to your thread. Yes, along with 10 other threads so do not take offense if I am memeing it up while owing you a thread response. Sometimes it's easier to meme than to think up and write a thread response.

I will ignore passive aggressive nudges. I will soft block you, or block you entirely if you become hostile or aggressive.

I do not believe in reblog karma, however, I believe it’s stupid not to interact with your mutuals and memes are the best way to break the ice, so if I reblog something from you, expect something from me in return. Maybe not right away because I may be at work and sometimes it’s a pain to deal with on mobile, but I will send something in! Only exceptions being shippy memes.

Partaking in witch hunts and call out culture, even if the other party is a guilty douche nugget, will result in me unfollowing you. I have zero tolerance for people who get involved with that kind of stuff.

You get bonus points if you comment on this post letting me know you’ve read this.
