#no way. me roleplaying? on my roleplay blog?

[gatheredfates]

Hi all, happy Friday! The Compendium update is happening a little earlier this week; mostly because I'm working on it in between Rabanastre queues (c'mere tomes) and because I can. 🦀 If there's a belated addition, I'll update at the end of this weekend as per normal.

However, as of today (05/24) the following resources have been added to Sea's Community Compendium for XIV Creatives.

LARGE SCALE

Nyanya.studio — Hosted by Nya Nya, this website/community services the gpose and modding community, offering posing, lighting, editing guides, and reshade presets for XIV.

(Thanks to @zylphiacrowley for the suggestion!)

MISC

WOL Prompt a Day — #WOLpromptAday is maintained by members of the “Waltz for the Moon” coalition. @ffxivwaltzforthemoon and offers a daily prompt you can answer for your character(s) in any creative format you like!

CHANGELOG

XIV Daily Question — has been removed due to inactivity.

Want to submit? You can either fill out the google form here, send me an ask with the relevant information contained on the Compendium, or join my Discord at SEAFLOOR (21+ only)!

Is my space suitable for the Compendium? Most of the time, yes! Below the read more is some more information/stipulations. Again, all the below information is accessible on the document! 🐡

Below are the following things I do not accept on the Compendium:

Personal/Single-Character LFC ads.

Content intended for or can be used for bullying, harassment and OOC gossip. E.g. ‘Secrets’ blogs, receipts, callout posts, etc. This does not include in-character tabloid blogs used to generate RP.

Communities that do not have an RP/writing element (large-scale exempt).

Anything I find personally distasteful or goes against the spirit of this project.

Common-sense rule applies.

FAQ.

I want to put my community on the compendium but we have an application process. Is this okay?

Yes! Just note somewhere in your application that's a requirement. The only thing that is mandatory for the Compendium is that you must be open to new members or have a public-facing/accessible facet. There's no point advertising a community if no one can join it in some way!

I want to put my community on the compendium but I only have x number of members —

Also totally okay! People don't start with large communities. Activity is a must but, whether your server has two or two thousand members, if you're looking for new people to join, I'd love to help you find people.

I want to put my community on the compendium but I worry its too niche?

Okay, and? If your Eorzean Fishing Alliance has four members but you roleplay every second weekend, I still want to know about it.

What resources/communities can I add if I'm not the owner of them?

Mutual consent is extremely important to me, so anything that isn't a large-scale community OR a publicly accessible resource must be endorsed by the owner/admin/moderators in order to be added to the compendium. I operate under the assumption that a resource posted to a public space (tumblr, googledocs, youtube, etc) is open to all. A large-scale community is one with a significant member count or openly advertises itself as being accessible to everyone for whatever purpose it serves. If in doubt, please get in touch with me. I'm happy to contact your community owners for you!

How active does a community need to be?

If you find a community has not been active in about two/three months, send me a message and I'll take a look at it. Communities have ebbs and flows, especially event spaces that may take hiatuses depending on member interest/life events. I'm not strict in my implementation provided a space isn't dead. If a link or anything is broken, absolutely contact me about that.

I have [insert a question not stated here]?

No drama! Send me an ask or use the #Compendium channel in my Discord!

Richard,

I hope you don't mind, but I happened upon you deep in thought in the castle courtyard and...well, the sight took my breath away.

I used a Muggle contraption (I believe they call it a camera) to capture these still images. You look almost corporeal...

E 🖤

E, my dear,

I am most intrigued by this Muggle contraption, and even more so — by how well you were able to capture me and my heart with it. And what a coincidence! I must admit, I had no idea that anybody was there at the time as I was most likely preoccupied with matters regarding me... Well, you said it yourself, looking corporal. If you have the time, allow me to explain.

You see, for the past two weeks I have been experimenting with something known as ancient magic. I cannot really see it but I can feel it when I am somewhere near the source, and I can really feel it if I touch it. If I spend plenty of time doing just that and focusing on being corporal — I seem to become so! Well, whatever part of me is surrounded by magic anyway.

That photo you took — I believe it was the first time that I have attempted to fully step into the stream of magic a day or two ago. The reason I needed to conduct some experiments first is rather serious as well: when the magic starts sipping away (and it never holds for longer than one day) I... Well, I am yet to find a way to make the transition back to my ghostly form less painful. As much as I was craving to feel, I forgot that pain is an integral part of life as well.

Needless to say that as fun as being able to be me again was, by the time I walked all the way back to the castle in my human form (and I got lost so many times since I could not just fly above the land toward the castle, oops) I was so tired that I just fell asleep on a bench somewhere near that area your camera captured me. When I woke up — I was a ghost again. At the very least, whatever pain I might have gone through that night, I slept through it.

I do hope that you are doing well, my darling. The sight of me should not be taking your breath away but instead making your heart beat and your soul soar. I hope you continue working on those still images because I did not get a chance to look at myself in the mirror that night. You are my only witness and I am honoured to have you share that special moment with me.

Thinking of you, always,

Richard Jackdaw

P. S. May I hope that someday I would be granted permission to call you by your proper name, my lady E?

#richard jackdaw #The Real Boy Thursday #hogwarts legacy rp #hogwarts legacy #cuffmeinblack #asks #E #tw: death #Ah I was going to do my 3rd Journal entry today regarding my advancements with ancient magic #But your letter couldn't have come at a better time #I am sorry for hijacking your letter for my selfish reasons #I am forever in your debt #[I do not wish to truly resurrect Richard] #[But I do want to roleplay him as an alive character as much as a ghost] #[Was planning to set this whole thing up before I start reaching out to other blogs but you guys jumped on him in the best of ways] #[And I gave in] #[But the goal is: take both ghost and alive asks into account without having to explain how it's possible] #[As soon as Richard figures out his/magic's limitations he will no longer be addressing his experiments] #[I am here for fun rp and everyone is free to pick any other reason as to why Richard is sometimes alive XD doesn't really matter to me] #[Any alternative universe works as long as you somehow manage to convey it in your asks!]

whoever sent sunny that cruel ask I really really hope you realise how much that hurts. as if we don't fucking go through enough living life with a disorder as stigmatised as this. only a few people in my life know that I have OSDD because it faces so much stigma. they make fucking horror movies where the killer has my disorder. I don't understand how someone can feel so much malice towards a stranger that they will not only send them an ask basically implying that they Don't Exist and are Pretend, but also take a jab at their identity too?? why are you so unkind? there was nothing forcing you to go out of your way to make a strangers day worse by telling them that they don't fucking exist. systems and fictives have been recognised by psychologists for years. I am recognised as a system by TWO professionals, including a psychiatrist. They both acknowledge sunny's existence because they are professionals in the field of psychology who actually know what they're talking about. you are expressing so much confidence with your ignorance it makes me feel sick. I've turned anons are off on sunny's blog, he's distraught. you disgust me. I am so glad I will never know you.

#I did not go through YEARS of therapy to unlearn my terror of faking my disorder just for some horrible person on the internet #to treat my system this way. you are awful. #rant #ableism #just tagging for the purpose of people who have those filtered #god. I feel sick to my stomach that was so nasty #for reference this person sent an anon ask to sunny pretending to be a roleplayer and pretending to think that sunny was a roleplay blog. #it was glaringly obvious the passive aggressive tone was seeping out of every letter. it was really awful to read I felt my heart drop #and not only that but they made fun of her fucking pronouns???? #I'll probably delete this later but god it sickens me. we are just trying to Live #thats what I get for being disordered I guess

[pointsfortrying]

everytime i, reblog normal post to an rp blog, i am so curious and fearful of what ppl unfamiliar w/ tumblr rpc's think,

#rye rambles #thoughts that keep me up at night vibes #like?? #im sorry im reblogging your funny post or art w/ song lyric and fancy tag i prommy it makes sense fsdlksd #im not talking about like. roleplaying in the reblogs or tags though just like #example from one of my blogs ''[ visage ] ✧〖 so spread your tale 〗'' and like. #it is So silly but in an /affectionate way #feels like breaking into op's home to compliment their decor but this time im in full cosplay #anyway i wish everyone i've rb'd things to my rp blogs a very wishing you the best ever

[north-park]

Ngl anytime I see an old cosplay photos i cringe as hell because i remember when i tried to get into the 2014 sp cosplay rabbithole how that went into the weirdly bizzarre shipping (always at the scene of the crime) cosplay subculture

#i wonder what happened to that IRL couple that ran the cosplay cryde ask blog #people would actually post gifs of themself acting romantic with their partner for the sake of roleplay #2014 fandom was build differently and in a bad way #it's insane to say it but tweek x craig made us normal. #my post #stuff for me

[foolishnpd]

it's been nearly a year since i've started looking into npd, if i still tihnk i have it by now does that mean anything??

#lilyroaring #actually narcissistic #narcissistic personality disorder #cluster b things #actually npd #self diagnosis #like uh what if i just read the symptoms and got too ass deep into roleplaying it #and have been faking this whole time #like i think at least on this blog #i exaggerate the way i talk quite a bit #but the feelings underneath what i write are very much real #so really it's not much of a stretch- #but am i just wording my feelings to fit my belief of a disorder? #idk give me another ten years i'm sure i'll figure it out #i think i can safely say i definitely have traits of npd. and am just a narcissist in general (non disordered?)

[dorkousloris]

been thinking about the new pkmn legends taking place in kalos (especially in lumiose which btw brought so much memories of that place. its a maze. and i just remembered how i used the outer ring just so ik where im going into the inners of the city itself 😭)

the more i also had been thinking about risa darrell, my pkmn oc i had since pkmn xy came out. formerly lorissa but now they're Risa, and if i had keep playing as them to this day, they would be a married former champion who takes pokemon racing with tyrant their tyrantrum along with their wife- helga who is a photographer journalist. yes helga doesn't change her name other than, slapping galar as her birth place wheezes

anyway. thinking about risa's family actually, 'cause afaik risa moved to kalos was bc its where risa's mom's family lives in. the only reason for this was bc the old lorissa design i had? i gave that design to risa's mom which had made risa... uhhh their dad is kanto-hoenian and her mom's kalosian but they met and lived in sinnoh which is where risa had met helga there as kids but then moved away to kalos when risa's dad get a job transfer.

therefore. i guess. risa's grandma? grandparent? great-grandparent? could potentially had involved in helping with the city. who knows-

#dorkous ramblings #you know the saddest part is that i LOST my pokemon X file :( #my brother one day borrowed it during a family trip then lost it and i dont blame him since he was a kid back then #so all i had left is my old roleplaying blog that had all of my arts #my old poke team and videos i took back in 2013-2014 oTZ #been thinking of drawing a lil comic where helga saw a photo and was like 'huhhhhhhhh risa its that ur mom?' and risa looks over and goes #'oh thats my grans-' #aNYWAY would it be funny if risa's grandparent is named lorissa. #do you think its funny but funky way to go back to kalos but as lorissa again? #also YES risa's old name is WHERE i got my own name from DJSHGSJDHGHJSG #ppl used to call me lori mun so much then shorten to lori #that it tickles in my brain and i enjoy my own name greatly #so i always credit my name to this goddamn game #aNYWAY if you read all to this here skhfjdhg sorry for my silly ramblings!!! #...and yes i was a pkmn roleplayer. bye-

[helpmebbg]

i love that the community fandom is brining back ask/roleplay blogs. feels like the good parts of a 2010’s fandom without any toxic discourse. nature is healing…

#im not super in the community fandom but ive been seeing more character roleplay blogs pop up recently #that was one of my favorite aspects of old fandom that you dont really see much of anymore #so im glad to see it resurfacing in such a nice way #me and my thoughts hd #nbc community

[rambunctioustoons]

sometimes i really do miss writing with other folks. it's fun just shooting the shit or writing something kinda angsty while you both yell at each other in the tags or dms. but i always dunked my head directly under the water and overwhelmed myself with tumblr rp. an old blog sits dead but i still have so many fond memories.

#ramblings #i bow. silly shit was my jam. i wish i would've stayed in touch with more people i wrote with. #same tale. everyone is too awkward to reach out and now their blogs sit dead sfhaskhd #idk. i've been tempted to try again. but i think that's the Devil Talking. I hate formatting and I hate hate feeling like - #im doing jigs on eggshells to make people laugh. i think i'd write a great unhinged sun (psps i have) #but too much interaction made me crumble. also you can't force yourself to be a constant Funny Machine #anyway aaaaaah psa write and roleplay with your friends. i think that's the way to go. write silly shit with your friends afjhsf #delete later /

[orcelito]

Ok though its actually kinda nice to see some of my earliest rps... 15 year old me just having fun 🥺🥺🥺

Might go digging more later. Don't rly feel like getting That into it tonight lol

#speculation nation #the funny thing is that back in 2013 u could still edit people's posts #which with rp i used that to delete old responses so that the posts wouldnt get too long #for the purposes of rp this worked WONDERFULLY so the threads wouldnt get too long on dashboards #but it's also kinda insane to remember that we could just... do that. change posts. fuckin wild Genuinely. #but ahhhh baby me's early writing... so nostalgic #i had 3 characters in this roleplay group. had a lot of fun for the time that i was there #since then tho i havent done any roleplay blogs on tumblr. only ever done one on one roleplays with a select few people #and dnd lol. which counts for the roleplaying aspect. #but for the Writing experience. rp was very definitely a huge thing for the development of my writing. #feeling a little bit emotional almost thinking about the many many words ive written in my life to get to my current skill #ten years ago i was 15 and just messing around with some characters i enjoyed #and now here i am with 663k words uploaded to ao3 and thousands of kudos across all my works #kinda makes me emotional. ive come a good ways since then. #and i have MORE PROGRESS TO GO 💪💪💪💪 i will keep at it. bc at the end of the day i just really love writing.

the ones who live screaming under the cut 💕

i just love rick and michonne’s love SO MUCH. rick’s so broken and terrified (understandably so) — seeing his almost tearful plea to jadis (fucking HATER) and how he tries to shove michonne away … goD 🫠 my heart broke a million times. but it’s him who’s broken, not THEM and i literally cannot wait for michonne to show him that he’s still rick fucking grimes and they can do anything together.

i’m still cackling and kicking my feet that michonne was 1000% not buying what he was selling and threw them both out of a literal helicopter!! a literal leap of faith and we love to see it!!! i cannot WAIT for next week wkfjskdjak i think they just need room and time to BE together and TALK so!! i’m ready.

#PERSONAL NON ROLEPLAY BLOGS DO NOT INTERACT WITH THIS POST #PLS I BEG OF YOU #// #anyway this show got me ALLLLLL THE WAY BACK IN #it’s so damn good like damn #rick and michonne loves of my life #00. // OUT OF AMMO ( OOC POST. )

[meownotgood]

and if I make an aki hayakawa roleplay blog what then? WHAT THEN HUH?????

#a man I love so much that I must become him #okay in reality I am probably way too busy to run such a thing #but it would be fun #I think I have a good grasp of his character #so I think I could roleplay him very well #but I feel like I would be embarrassed posting lolol #it would be super fun though #how would I even promote such a thing? where would I start? #I feel like if I promote it on my blog here it'd ruin the immersion or something #like people are supposed to believe it's aki and not y'know..... just my stupid ass..... #I'll have to just post and be like 'hey a little birdie told me there's this aki hayakawa account you can roleplay with' #'totally not me though guys! totally not me'

[sleepknoot]

You know as a kid, there was such a unique thrill in finding fandom spaces. As far as I was aware, my brother and I were the only people who had ever played the Devil May Cry games or watched the anime.

Imagine my disappointment when I discovered FanFic.net and tried to roleplay with the people in the community during the early 2010s.

#Easily the worst fandom experience I've had. Especially on the roleplay side of things. #Lot of people who saw my 13 year old ass as a threat to their ships? Even tho I never spoke to them. #But these people HATED my OC so much because she was Dante's kid. You know. Because I was a child who adored Dante? #AND I WAS CLEARLY A CHILD TOO. I WAS ALWAYS TRANSPARENT ABOUT IT. #In my rules and bio I'd tell people I was a minor. Posting about ''Guys my first day of high school I'm nervous 🥺''. #I'd be minding my own little business and I'd look at mutual's mutuals blog rules: #''GRRRR BARK BARK BARK. I WON'T ROLEPLAY WITH OCS WHO XYZ (obviously directed at me)'' #See I look back on it and can take the piss (I was as annoying as you'd think) but holy fuck did that alter my brain for the worse. #A young me seeing 20-35+ year old acting nuts over fiction and children being children. #That's why when I see ''I miss the old RPC. People were nicer.'' shit I roll my eyes so hard. People were not nicer. #I was getting rape and death threats from these fucking animals because they felt a weird way about my OC. #zombert.txt #Sorry for the novel in the tags. I just went on a lil tangent.
