PSA: "NO NEED TO APOLOGIZE".

Had a long day at work? Maybe you were out partying with friends. Or maybe you just didn't have enough energy to really get to anything today. Maybe you were sick! You have coursework that you had to get to. Hundreds of factors can cause inactivity / lack of interactions for days, weeks, or even months. It is in many people's nature to apologize for their absence.

But before you profusely apologize for being inactive, ask yourself;

What did you do wrong?

What negative impact did your actions / inaction cause?

If someone is genuinely upset by your behavior, why?

If you can't think of a concise & reasonable answer to all three, there's no need to apologize. No reasonable person will claim that you not being on the dashboard for days or months is directly harming them. If they are, they frankly shouldn't be putting all of their rp eggs into one basket. Plot with other people, understand that this is a hobby. Not something we clock in and out of.

Don't shame people for being a 'chronic apologizer', either. God knows what people have been through in the RPC. Just understand that inactivity, especially unexpected inactivity, which pulls you away from hobbies is a part of life.

PSA: YOU DO NOT "OWE" PEOPLE EXPLAINATIONS FOR LACK OF ACTIVITY, NOR JUSTIFICATION.

A lot of people in the community tend to make little ooc/personal posts explaining that they may be inactive for a bit for say, vacation, mental health, or just broader work reasons from time to time. This is absolutely fine, and always will be! Sometimes people simply want to communicate that activity may be bumpy especially during a transitional period in their life that may have them be on hiatus for a while.

However, many pockets of the RPC has expected this form of... Overcommunication, it feels. I get it. Your RP partner being gone for what, a few days at a time with no warning? Can sometimes make you wonder if they're alright. At the same time... Some people probably just don't see the need to constantly make little out of character status updates, while other people do.

People are not required to explain why they were out for 2 days instead of one. While we are on a social media platform, some people are just different with how they communicate. Sometimes folks are only active 5 times in a year, and that's fine! Just don't demand an "explanation" out of people. Take a step back, remember that this is a hobby, and there's no time limit. If you put a harsh time limit on yourself, this is no longer a hobby, it's an unpaid job.

PSA: WHAT IS BLOCKING?

Blocking is;

A way to not see a particular user & their posts

A way to cultivate your space

A way to avoid conflict

Blocking ISN'T;

Inherently selfish & immature

Something you need an explanation for

'An awful thing to do to someone'

There's this odd movement of people trying to de-normalize blocking users. Trying to hide behind excuses such as "you need to communicate with your partners, it's immature to block someone out of the blue" and... No??? No. More likely than not, people who tend to get blocked the most by users are strangers they don't vibe with or rp partners they didn't even interact with that they no longer see themselves interacting with for any reason. More people need to see it as a red flag when people get super genuinely upset when one of the billions of people on the internet block them "out of the blue". If you cannot handle being blocked online, whether it's someone you apparently know, or some random who might've just fat fingered the block button and doesn't even know you exist, you shouldn't be online. Are there freak scenarios where someone shouldn't block someone? Maybe, but people should prioritize their mental health and simply block someone instead of engaging with someone out of obligation. This is a hobby, I can click what button I please. Not to say people will block their mutuals willy-nilly or you should be walking on eggshells, but it's time to stop viewing blocking someone as a "bad thing" or a "last resort".

psa. let people unfollow you. let people soft block you. don’t harass them. don’t vague. don’t demand to know why they did it. don’t sit and watch their blog. too many times i’ve heard from mutuals who are too worried about the reactions of others that they haven’t followed bc it’s easier to just let it be than rock the boat. that isn’t okay. people shouldn’t be fearful of your reactions. let people unfollow and block you without worry of being vagued or harassed.

Sessionbox, but without paywalls.

Out of sheer spite, I have taken the Sessionbox extension and molded it to remove unnecesary blockers (e.g., session limits, free tier limitations, the need to update and give a company that once had this product for free like 100 dollars for the new hobbyist version)

What is Sessionbox you ask? It's the ability to run multiple accounts in tabs, rather than making individual profiles on your browser just to sign into another account. Pretty useful. I use it for switching blogs on the fly.

👉 The extension file is in this zip. 👈

Enable developer mode for extensions.

Unzip the file. Put the folder somewhere you won't move it.

Load this folder into your extensions by hitting "Load unpacked".

That's it, yippee

optional, throw me some [KROMER].

👉 Here's a Firefox version. 👈

Unzip the file.

Drop the .xpi file in about:addons.

wahoo ur done

I want to make my own version for all to use, but until then, this is an immediate fix. I'll update the link as issues arrive, but feel free to message me here to let me know if things break.

be proud of your original characters. it's no easy task to create a character from scratch, to make them believable and real and human. it takes time. it takes dedication. so what if they aren't perfect right away? so what if there are still things you're only now figuring out after time? characters evolve, they go through changes and arcs and stories just like real people do. and it's okay if your character develops over time, you don't need to have it all figured out right away. there are some things that will only ever clear up after writing them for a while, finding their voice, and seeing the way they interact with other characters. but this is your character, your creation, and you deserve to feel proud about it no matter what.

PSA: 'IP BLOCKING' ANONYMOUS MESSAGES.

Let's say you're getting anonymous hate for... Whatever reason. And part of you doesn't want to turn off anonymous completely but people who are dumb enough to send anonymous hate thinking it makes their side look better often have too much time on their hands.

You may have heard of the term 'IP blocking', but are unsure how to do it. Here's a quick step by step;

Click on the 'meatballs' on the asks and click on the 'block @/anonymous' option.

2. Click on the 'block' button. If your blog is a sideblog, the second option may be a bit glitchy and I'm unsure if it even works so just stick with the block. Again, make sure you want to do this as this person will be unable to send asks to you.

Essentially, this makes tumblr stop letting asks from this person's particular IP get through. So you might get a notification, but no asks from this person. There used to be an issue where people just logged out to send more anonymous messages, but tumblr no longer allows anonymous messages to be sent from non-users, so that's no longer a problem.

By the way, if the anon is especially gross, you can also report it which, if staff does actually do something, get the blog from where the anonymous message was sent from deleted. Just an FYI to weirdos still sending anonymous hate in 2024.

Again, even if you think the anonymous hate is 'justified', it always makes your 'side' look bad in one way or another. Be better. Block and move on instead of dwelling on it.

☠ ― Send '📁' for a fun fact about my muse's canon! Can be about my muse, their universe, behind-the-scenes facts, anything goes!

(Alternatively, send "fun fact!" if you cannot see the emoji.)

[spookmemepls]

☠ ― Send '👄 + a topic' and my muse will give advice based around that topic! Can be good or bad.

(If you cannot see the emoji, simply say what meme it's for, and the topic.)

[spookmemepls]

☠ ― Send me a scene from my muse's canon and I will write it in my style!

[spookmemepls]

Gentle reminder that in an RPC;

Things don't have to happen on the tumblr dash to be considered "canon" for your OCs/Muses--DMs/alternative social media interactions can also be valid

Introductory threads aren't MANDATORY

Timelines who??? More like who CARES, jump around if you want to

You can reclaim depictions of "Canon" characters that you don't like/agree with and make them your own

Headcanon whatever the hell you want

Embellish whatever you want

You are allowed to soft block/block people on your dash that just don't vibe with your style--it's YOUR dash, curate it how YOU want it to be

On the other side of that, don't take offense/take it personally if someone blocks you. That's their right just as much as it is yours.

Feel free to reblog/add any other points you'd like
