A lengthy ass-post about poly-shipping no one asked for

So I'm gonna go ahead and choose passive aggressive violence, in the form of an informative, lengthy as fuck post I think some folks need to read.

I won't be adding the post here, as I don't wish to direct potential harassment to the original poster (no matter how heinous I found a majority of the list), but if you're on twitter/"X", I'm sure you've seen a lengthy notepad list of RP "hot takes".

While I agreed with some of the points made, I feel it necessary to clarify some things, particularly about the points regarding polyamorous shipping.

If you don't want to read the blurb between here and the actual point list, just scroll down until you see green font.

Most know that I myself play a polyamorous character; I ship my character with other characters belonging to different players. I've been poly-ship for YEARS, so I feel I have some experience and can say some things about it.

Some points made in the "hot takes" list alluded to people using polyamorous shipping/multi-shipping as an excuse to just ERP and mess around with multiple people without consequence.

Sadly, yes, this does happen. It's unfortunate that selfish people only looking for specific things use it as an excuse for their behavior, but the only thing people can do is be aware of what to look out for when it comes to polyamorous shipping.

So rather than allow a negative light be painted on a valid means of shipping and roleplaying your characters in relationships, I think a quick lesson is needed.

Disclaimer: these are just my personal opinion on how I feel polyships should be handled, and some red flags I have seen during my time being a polyamorous OC player. By no means is this a rulebook, more like a guide so new and veteran roleplayers alike can be aware.

What a responsible poly-shipper will do:

Introduce you to their other partners - Communication is key in any relationship, this is not just for monogomous ships, but even moreso for polyamorous. A poly OC player will be open to introducing you to their other partners; while no one expects you to be best friends, it's good to be aware of just who else you'll possibly be regularly seeing around.

Share time and effort among your partners equally - A polycule relationship should be even across the board; one partner should not be treated better than the other. Treating one or more partners better than the other(s) is just a recipe for people getting hurt, both IC and OOC.

Be open and up front at the very beginning of IC interactions - A poly OC player will be up front and honest about the nature of their character if they have an interest in possibly shipping with you, or in case the possibility of it happening is there.

Encourage communication and prioritize problem-solving - This isn't just for poly ships, but ships in general. A good writing partner will encourage and WANT you to tell them about how you feel with the ship, especially if it's a problem with an easy solution.

Always make it known if they wish to bring another partner into the polycule & pose an introduction OOC - This is the most important part of being in a poly ship, making sure EVERYONE knows if there is someone new who will be joining the ship, and making introductions before a ship is made.

What a responsible poly ship player wouldn't/shouldn't do:

Hide the status of their ships - If your partner is hiding who they are shipping with from you, in my experience, this just means a person is going behind their partner's back (and is possibly cheating on them).

Brush off any possible issues you may be having with one of the partners in the ship - A responsible partner would aim to mediate the situation, and listen to all sides.

Discourage their poly partners from seeking other partners - Not every poly OC is monogomous with their poly partner, sometimes one poly OC will be shipped with another poly OC. Your partner would not expect you to drop your other ships to be with them while they continue their own, they should respect your decision to ship with your other partners.

Keep attempts to ship with other characters a secret - A responsible poly partner will make it known when they are attempting to or want to ship their OC with another as soon as intentions and wants are known. Not after a ship is already established.

Discourage those in the polycule ship from associating with each other - A partner in a healthy polycule would never discourage their partners from associating with each other; intentional separation more than likely is a means of hiding something, such as blatant favoritism, or even to keep ships a secret (in my experience).

Anyways I'll get off my soap box. I apologize for the lengthy post, but some things I've been seeing regarding this hot takes list were so blatantly heinous, I just felt like something should be said.

Have a good evening y'all; hug your pets, tell your friends you love them, and don't let jaded people online project their problems onto you.

Stay golden

((Following from the last PSA, I'm also gonna turn off anon.

I would also like to point out that I absolutely don't use anon myself to send asks.

I never have done in all the years I've been writing on here, so if in the instance anyone gets a really horrible ask claiming to be me and/or tagging me in it, report, block, delete.

Stay safe out there, pals ♡))

Okay so.

Mentally, I am. Having a really bad time.

I’m really sorry to you all, but I don’t know when I’ll be able to write again. I hope it’s soon.

Things have just been so scary and it feels like everything is spiraling out of control…I just don’t have it in me to be creative.

I’m getting some new meds that hopefully should help. Thank you all for your patience.

// A little PSA.

If we have an active thread and I haven't replied in, like, two days, tell me. I try to get replies shortly after I receive them. Silence means that I think I'm caught up with my replies.

Please please tell me. I can't reply if I didn't catch it for some reason.

This goes double for when tumblr decides to not tell me about a reply.

Thank you for your patience with me.

//Just a little mun appreciation post for rping on tumblr:

I love how I don't have to apply for a character and get judged for my interpretation in an application

I love how there's not anybody who will complain because your plot isn't canon

I love how there is more freedom to choose who to interact with and if you don't like their style you can simply go to someone else

I love how patient people are and how people don't slander you for taking too long to reply or completely skipping you

You can keep track of threads

You don't have to worry about your character getting taken away.

There is just so much more freedom when playing a muse on tumblr compared to a dumb server on discord that deems your skills as far less or of little potential if you get one or two things wrong on your sub.

Sorry for the rant but mun is unfortunately in a low mood and needed to remind xemself of something positive.//

Aside from any JoJo’s Bizarre adventure reblogs, if your reblogs contain anything insulting Rise Donnie, could you please tag it as Josie don’t look? I would really appreciate it. I’d still love rottmnt moots, but just please.

#mun psa #otherwise I might have to unfollow #rise!Donnie being one of my f/o's #reading anything insulting is just rub the wrong way vibes imo #but that's just me #-shrug noises- #feel free to remove me if you agree #rottmnt #rise!Donnie my beloved <3 #but I thank you to those who follow my rule <3 #& am grateful

“I see you rping Doc as a parental figure for characters and I would like this.” Do it. I don’t even care if your character is an animal that isn’t walking on two legs. Do it. This man apparently knows Thumper and Bambi canonically, according to those Disney Comics and that’s quite a trip for me. “I am not part of the Disney universe but I would like warm and fuzzies.” Do it. This man flirted with Walter the Wolf. He will absolutely give his heart to anyone from any studio. We got friends from Cyberchase. We got friends from video games that aren’t Kingdom Hearts(because I say so, come fight me). He will give his heart to any OC. Are you non animated? He’ll do it. Feel more comfortable with his non-animated verses? Yoooo. “I want to make Doc suffer.” Do it. Buddy, you and me both. Go ahead. You are allowed to attack him so long as you don’t kill him. >:D Nah you gotta put on a show for that. Entertain us. Or ask me. “Can I be part of Doc’s extended family/anon as his family?” Do it. /found Satan! Yeah just know his daughter is alive and bopping around and, as of right now, flirting with his roomies. He doesn’t know. Shhhh. Scotty doesn’t know.

Listen my pain meds kicked in and this felt like I should write it and I have no idea why so go with my paranoia right now. I think it’s because there are a lot of new followers and I want you to know there’s not many rules here other than be cool. Be excellent to each other. If you’re confused on what’s allowed/not allowed, ask. I know I write stuff while I’m medicated all the time since I’m in pain so just ask. I’ll always explain...cause y’know. Hard to deal with me, the chronically ill/chronically pained/disabled fabulous person.

If you find a meme you like from me and reblog it, please just send in a ask from that meme. because im starting to feel like im a meme resource and its making me want to just straight up quite rping here on this platform all together. to me it feels like its just a common courtesy to send in a ask if you find a meme you like on a fellow rp'ers blog. it lets me know that this blog matters to some of you and isnt dead in the water. (which to be honest ive felt like it is for awhile because my replies arent queue based/draft based. you send in a ask 99% of the time i will answer and post your ask the same day the only time i dont do that is if im going to be away from my laptop and i wont have wifi for my phone.)

i feel like im unappreciated and it doesnt help with the blatant favoritism ive noticed thats rampant in the rp community as a whole. and this isnt a call out or anything but if you feel like it is thats on you. not me. because im not calling out anyone. im 30 fuckin years old i dont have the energy or time to be a petty asshole that does callout posts. i am also a stay at home mom which means i have a lot more free time than someone who is working all day so yes thats why i dont queue base my replies. (im also forgetful to reply so please remind me if we have threads and i havent replied yet... ive probably forgot)

Not to bring negativity on the feed, but because I feel the need to say something, I will; unless someone has done extremely heinous shit (or said; I'm talking homophobic/transphobic, racist, etc, things like that but not limited to just those), please do not come to me to "warn" me about someone I've interacted with.

I've dealt with this so much on twitter, and 9 times out of 10, these "warnings" are based off petty beef someone has with another over things that are not my concern. I'm too tired for the petty "they said this, they did that" back and forth.

Please just don't do this, because it's honestly the quickest method to get me to never want any interaction with you at all.

Also I literally have maybe two friends on this website and they're inactive so everyone else is a complete stranger, like one interaction a friendship doesn't make bruh.

#OOC #Mun PSA #Literally I get not wanting to see someone you don't like in your circles #But bruh I am a complete stranger to you and vice versa #I owe you literally nothing nor do you get to dictate who I talk to #And if you're gonna come into my DMs saying shit about someone you better bring proof #Literally we're all adults and we're still doing the “don't talk to this person” shit apparently and I am sick of it #My block button is gonna get some work put into it at this rate #I am just tired y'all forgive me

((Just wanted to share this because I worry about this a lot. You know, more than normal haha

I absolutely will never rush anyone for replies, I completely understand that people have priorities and some people have preferences so I'll absolutely never judge for that.

Take all the time ya wish with me, I'm more than happy to wait.

On that note, if it gets to a point where you're not wanting to write with me anymore or maybe you wanna drop things? Again, not a problem.

You're more than welcome to just let me know and it's all good.

Just putting this out there ♡))

So I’m super stressed out, trying to sleep cause we gotta head to court tomorrow, and depending on what happens, it will either be very quick and painless, or very terrifying for me, as I would have to testify as a witness.

So if I’m not like…in a good headspace tomorrow, I apologize. I don’t really want to discuss it in depth, because I just want it to be over.

But it is killing my creativity and causing me extreme amounts of distress and…I don’t know what to do about it. Distractions aren’t working much.
