HEEEY MACARENA (ALRIGHT!)

Here's some long overdue BP and HH asks :) I tend to combine the two since there's not as many as the RADs, so this starts with BP and then moves into HH/Gen qs.

BP

MUAH ~ (I actually doodled this some time last year for fun and whimsy, based on those long mouth kiss meme pics XD)

A very quick overview of these types!

Vescordem: Maneaters/cannibals, excessively tall and strong.

Aleores: Minor dealmakers (goods and services). Jaw can unhinge and has venomous bite.

Sollicio: Major dealmakers - soul stealing ability. Often very good looking, has ichor powers.

Voxter: Ability to project 'thoughts' into someone else's mind - you ever have an intrusive thought? Same concept. All have a unique mark across the top part of their face.

Caumacies: Maneaters/cannibals, very strong. Has a third eye which sees only in heat vision - rarely opened simultaneously with normal eyes.

Hmm M or MA15 i think 🤔

You know, i actually have an idea for a game that has nothing to do with anything I'm currently doing XD One day i'll actually have time to make it, maybe. But anyway currently my actual project is i'm planning on making a comic \o/

I AM PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE that i have thumbnailed like 70 pages of this bloody thing and i'm still only in the first quarter of the planned chapters lol OTL Once i finish thumbing the chapter I'm on I plan to go back and render the pages properly before starting to post them :D

...which should hopefully give me a buffer as i repeat the process for the next chapters |D

You know, the concept of my characs being comfort characs for someone will never get old for me. It just tickles me pink ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ This answer will have two levels to it.

It's fine to RP or ask blog with Rire - he's one of my more "known" characs thanks to BTD so as long as credit is given (and it's made clear I'm not running the blog so it's not canon) then it's cool.

I'd prefer if no ask/RP blogs are created for any of my other BP or HH characs, as they are not as known yet. This may be revisited once i actually get the BP comic out but for now it's a no, sorry! (Though, if you are RPing in like...a private Discord with other friends who know who the characs are then I'm a bit more lenient with that.)

The reason for the BP/HH level is that ages ago when I had started establishing my own characs more, I randomly happened to find a forum where someone was RPing as Izm and .D but no one else knew who the characs were and so they clearly thought the RPer was the original artist and creator. Said RPer was not dissuading anyone of that notion. That has stuck with me for forever because at the time i never anticipated that someone would...actually try and do that with an OC. Like, bro srsly?!

One pet peeve for everyone:

.D: Willfully stupid people

Izm: .D smoking. He could care less if anyone else smokes but .D is not allowed on his watch

Marcus: Having decisions made for him without his input

Zeke: "How's the weather up there?"

Wei Ren: When people think he can't understand English cos he has an accent and so they deliberately speak slower and louder

Geez Caleb why are you damn RUDE

Here's one i prepared earlier! 😌

I'm not sure why you included Marcus as a demon, he's a human lol.

HH/More Gen

There are clubs which are created by students but need approval from the adults to exist.

HH is one of the better boarding schools which generally turn out successful alumni. The "obvious problems" we see are not actually obvious lol.

He doesn't need such manipulations.

Thanks! I hope you are inspired to go forth and create stuff! :D

One of the only perks of being a prefect at HH, really :d

Absolutely not lol

↓

4. These types of qs are always amusing to me only because you guys expect me to know but i absolutely do not XDD. Do normal people actually have a fave animal?? I dont even have a fave animal!! Anyway offshoot aside sorry that i can't even randomly assign anything, but if you are interested here is what they might be AS animals lol.

They actually don't have names because they were randomly designed NPCs i drew as like, placeholders |D;

Not including Rire or Nurse Isla:

.D is asexual, Izm is bisexual, and everyone else is straight probably. Caleb and Desmond are violently straight (as in Des is like very 90s stoner bro adamantly vocal about being straight and Caleb will actually try and break your neck for insinuating anything).

I have some female characs but I dont draw them that often as they are more side characs in BP and HH. The ones ive's drawn at least once are Isla (who looks like this, also doodled above), Tish (Des's sister) and Kenzie and Kelly (Zeke's sisters).

Every once in a blue moon i get an ask saying this but whenever i go to check nothing is wrong, so...nothing is wrong they do work |D; As the age old tech saying goes have you tried turning it off and on again? :d

Aren't those kind of things supposed to be...based on yourself??

[spiralingnoodle]

Since we're on the train of not clogging the TMA tags with posts about The Magnus Protocol, let's also please stop tagging posts from your RP blogs with the character tags.

Reblog so this reaches more people in the fandom and those who may need to see it can see it.

If you do this, I don't hate you. But please let's be mindful.

I know you want your blogs to be noticed and to get interaction, but tagging every rp post with a main character/fandom tag only clogs said tags with RP posts. Not only that, but many use heavily edited fonts and that, I've been shown, breaks text-to-speech horribly. It makes disabled people's browsing of the tags very difficult because (as said by disabled friend) "every five post, I get a scrambled nonsense audio that takes like 3 minutes to read on the text-to-speech, let alone try to read it by myself with my poor eyesight to figure out if it's and actual fandom post, RP or what".

I hate making these posts because I feel like a bit of an asshole, like, I know most of you aren't doing that to cause trouble or to intentionally clog the tags, but it's difficult to browse non-RP posts when the tag is half-flooded with RP posts. Please stop doing this and remove the main tags from your previous posts (there are ways to mass delete a tag, I think it's ab X-kit thing!).

I've spoken to other people who are also noticing this issue and as a former roleplayer I felt I should speak up.

(Also, please if you know someone who does this, do not send hate to them. This is not a post to incite that. This is just me sharing tumblr RP etiquette from back in the day when I used to RP here in several fandoms. Do tell them, politely, but do not harass or be disrespectful)

Tumblr has no algorithm, and yet half of the posts from character tags I follow are from RP blogs even though I don't follow any nor have liked/reblogged their posts. How? Because these blogs tag their asks, their starters, their IC posts WITH THE MAIN CHARACTER TAGS AND THE MAIN FANDOM TAGS.

As a former tumblr RPer, I'm asking you not to do this. Instead I bring you a suggestion. What can you do instead of tagging your RP posts?

Make a promo post.

Yes! A promotional post of your blog with all the info, you can even add an edit (but please ask for permission if you use someone's art and credit them). Kind of an intro to your blog so people know "ah, I might like following this person's RP" or "cool! I'd like to RP with them!". I did this a lot and it helped enormously! And yes, you may tag these with the main character/fandom tag, but they're ONE post. They won't clog the tags like tagging every single one of your RP/asks.

Somethings Need to Change

I wasn't going to get my hands involved in this. I initially skilled through harkre's post yesterday and thought nothing of it. Until someone brought it to my attention because there was fighting in the comments. Now while I would like to slug it out in the replies. However...that gets messy. So instead I'm going to put everyone's replies into a reblog and credit them. Cause that's what you're supposed to do when there's drama on tumblr. Make it easier on people to read and know what the fuck is going on. Which will be below the cut.

@dutifullylamps: Summary: A bunch of things that hurt my feelings and I didn’t like so now I’m trying to cause other people to not like this person because I still have a middle school mentality and I’m bitter.

So for those who aren't aware, Harkre's whole post was about how he was signaled out and believed to be a godmodder. I've gone through similar things myself all because for whatever stupid reason people do not know how to communicate on WoW when it comes to rp. Despite it being a major unspoken rule in roleplay in general. Something that's followed on forums, on tumblr, and other mediums. Why it's not enforced on WoW is stupid.

Now when you bring it up, you're treated like shit who have never gotten out of that Mean Girl high school mentality like dutifullylamps has demonstrated. So here let me be helpful and show at least some guides to roleplay since the community seems to neglect that part. These will emphasize on communication.

I would like to point out that ironically one of the ways we learn how to communicate effectively is by pretending we're doing a role and we can talk out what we're going to do, which is different from rp. So why rpers can't communicate is kind of ironic when you think about it in adult type scenarios. Something I was skimming over trying to find the sites above.

Except people will try to say "but it ruins the story. It makes it seem too ooc." My brother in christ you do not work for Blizzard. Who the fuck cares? I don't want you to hit my character without my permission. Though to argue I feel bad for Harkre cause Residiuum events are always clusterfucks. I try not to get involved because they are. Usually someone pre-determines what my character is doing. Sometimes people whisper me what I want to do when I'm the middle of writing my response.

Another thing I don't get with Moon Guard is the need for someone coming forward with clear issues with someone else. The communication line has been dropped or there is none because again...for whatever fucking reason, people on Moon Guard or well....WoW in general never learned how to properly communicate or even roleplay. Which is honestly mind boggling to me as someone who has rped on forums, and tumblr for many many years. I learned how to roleplay. I learned how to communicate. I come to Moon Guard and what I knew about rp was eviscerated. But anyway the thing that ultimately annoys me aside from the lack of proper communication is that people will attack the clear victim, gang up on them, and then support the abuser. And it's always the enablers of narcissists. Why is that?

Then again I that's also a tumblr issue as well. It's happened in other fandoms on tumblr so I shouldn't be surprised. Our reaction shouldn't be "oh I'm sorry that happened." We should be angrier about it and demand more action. We are all in a community and it's up to us to make this community better. One where victims are properly heard and the narcissists gets kicked out and running for the hills and not the other way around.

@onetimeblog: Instead of sending every single residuum member screenshots and claiming how I "stole" your idea for a minecraft server (really?) and thrashing and kicking and just making yourself look even worse?

And now for the moment we've been waiting for. I'm going to break this section by section because oddly, Niklos decided to put this in the replies one at a time and not a reblog. But even then I'd still break it down.

Anyway, the thing is Harkre probably couldn't hold it in any longer because he kept seeing you get away with shit constantly. Usually what happens when you're abused by a narcissist so long. You hold it in, think you're the problem. You try to do things one way, which is the right way. However, that doesn't work. And trying to ignore the problem doesn't work.

You constantly see your abuser handling things normally. While you have to duck out of places because they somehow manipulated everyone around you to make it seem like you're the problem. I wonder if this sounds familiar Niklos cause it's something that you have been doing for years. There's evidence of it. You can only sweet talk your way out of a paper bag for so long. And DARVO only goes for so long. After awhile you finally have the courage to speak up about it.

Problem is you got caught again. Though this time you don't get to talk your way out of it.

When you know damn well Agonyn doesn't listen to anyone. He kicks who he pleases and nobody can say persuade him to, or not to, otherwise. You were kicked out of Midnight Repose because according to THEM, you ran into their voice chat and started yelling loudly and when told to stop, you didn't. I know now, the one that I thought was your friend, was actually you on a second account. And I also know that you have been the one -

I'm going to point out I don't know what point leads to where since reading through the replies is a pain in the ass. So forgive me if this looks wonky.

I honestly doubt that. I seem to remember Brady saying that he was blacklisted from every other guild because of your shit. Honestly another deflection. "Oh they can do what they want." That and the "you have no friends, it's just on another account." Is some serious bullshit. You don't know anything. You're just trying to make someone be your scapegoat.

Find some new material. You suck at this.

when I was AFKing in the cemetery and I got your PM bomb and a link out of nowhere about Tyragonfal and I had to pan my camera around to see Tyragonfal walk by, so far away I couldn't even cast on her. WTF? And now I know - you were stealthing after her, on your lv20 trial, while on your paid account you were PMing everyone she walked by as far as your camera can see, in the same way you did to me for weeks. To a point where you pissed enough randoms off you got -

Tyragonfal doesn't have many people who like her. For all you know it could have been some random that has the same information.

This information that your buddy is a notorious sex pest. Yeah. I too have the dark knowledge of knowing that and I received it from someone else. I can't remember who linked me it. I know for a fact it wasn't Harkre. But Tyragonfal has other people that don't like her and would try to track her down and do the one thing most trials do in Stormwind...and no it's not look for erp.

Inform the public that there is a piece of crap in our midst and maybe they will stop playing the game. But sure let's turn Harkre into the scapegoat cause he's the ONLY person outside of Brady to actually say something against you.

So like… don't blame me. Nobody pushed you out, you pushed yourself out. The people reporting to Agonyn? Not me - it's all the people that fought your toon while your wore the Residuum tag only to see you log out after hours of emote combat - of which I wasn't even involved in. I just was told. And when a player told you that they don't want to RP with you anymore? You told him "You are involved whether you like it or not." And now you are hyper fixating on me.

Bullshit. Bullshit. Bullshit. You're one of the principal people organizing the Residuum events and you're always the stare of every single show. There is NEVER a Residuum event where you're not there. Either as the main star or the supporting actor. Never the extra.

Residuum has to do things exactly as you planned it. For example after the week long attack you had Residuum people at the funeral vigil thing as candles. I thought it was weird when a guildie at the time had to take part in it. Even weirder that they were there again as floating candles. I thought nothing of it.

But it's plainly obvious that you control everything. Much like how you control the Cathedral. Ever thought it's odd on how there's no one else that does their own thing in the Cathedral. Everyone has to tow your line. Gee....I wonder why that is? Maybe because you're a control freak.

I wouldn't put it past you to whisper to Agonyn and tell him to kick Harkre or even complain. You did it with Brady. You did it with the Divine Inquisition. That's your thing and even Irwin said it best. You act as thought the Cathedral is yours. Except it's not yours. It never was.

reported and suspended. So like.. harkre? Find a better hobby at this point. Everything you claim, I have receipts on. And now you just openly outed yourself as the level 1 troll that's been harassing me on two accounts - and I know you have a third account you are happily RPing on as well. Because you just don't hide yourself that well. Why don't you focus on that third, unblemished, untouched character and just enjoy RP -

Oh, bullshit. You have jackshit. You have ZERO receipts. If you did you would have posted them already. That's the thing with narcissists like yourself, Niklos, you talk a lot of hot fucking air. A lot. You bullshit more than a politician. But when it comes down to it, you won't produce shit.

And the best part of it is....there's evidence of you constantly bullshitting.

Even your so called post about Brady's accusations, you came up with no screenshots. No fucking evidence. Give it up, Niklos. You should be the one who should play a different game. You should be the one making a new unblemished character. Maybe start anew on Wyrmrest. You'd be great at it. Best part about it is...

There's no one there that you can abuse. Hell you can move your whole guild there.

Let This Be a Message To ALL Community Leaders:

Your role in a community is to not treat everyone like they're your Barbie.

Your role is to facilitate roleplay in a concise manner that makes it fun for everyone. It is not meant for narcissists.

If you cannot fulfill this role, then maybe it's High fucking time for you to step the fuck down.

I'm sick and fucking tired of narcissists getting away with shit. Getting away with treating people like shit for simply saying no. For standing up for themselves after being doormats.

Moon Guard needs to fucking change and for the better.

Edit: Thanks to @certifiedooc for pulling up the related posts. I added it for clarity.

A much needed Post

Good evening everyone, I hope you're all having a good day.💜

Yes, I probably tagged you in this, dear stranger. Before you click off, I ask you to give me 5 minutes of your time. Just 5, then you can go about your day. But I would appreciate it, if you listened to what I have to say, because it means a lot to me and many...many others.

I'm posting today, because this topic has been on my heart lately and I wanted to share my thoughts with you. I'm sure you've already guessed that this is about the whole Kisame-anon chaos.

Before we begin, I want to get this out of the way: This post is coming from a genuine and loving place. My goal is not to point fingers, nor placing blame or justify anyone's actions, including my own. This post is about me, trying to understand the entire situation and providing my sentiments to it.

Act I: Why do I not just shut up?

Why do I get involved you might ask? It's not so much that I want to get involved. It's more that any anon who begins their journey here, gets inevitably sucked into it. We are faced with angry posts, confusing explanations and forced to choose who to believe and support. If you don't, you walk on eggshells filled with guilt and if you do, you're being blocked by the entire half of the disagreeing party.

This is not what I signed up for.

I come on to Tumblr to Roleplay and have fun. I've been having a splendid time here. You guys are making me so happy as of late, allowing me to play freely and giving me a space for all my creative ideas. And I want to continue doing so.

I want to be able to chat up anyone, without fearing that someone else will jump at my throat for it. That includes Kisame, Hidan, Orochimaru and many more of you wonderdul RPers.

Recently I have noticed that I've been blocked by several people and I can guess, what the reason is. And it saddens me because...I like you guys. We were talking and sharing fun experiences, only for me to discover that I am suddenly cut off from it. For no other reason than that I interact with a person they have a quarrel with. And that is just...not the solution. So what is the solution?

Act II: The Anon War in a nutshell

Now, from my understanding, there is a big rift between two groups.

1) Those who have received digital harassment in form of hate/rape/death threats (and believe Kisame-anon to be the culprit)

and

2) Those who defend Kisame against those claims, or, like me, don't just blindly hop onto a hate train they saw on the internet

Again, my goal with this post is not to be the divine judge over who is in the right here. It is, objectively, pretty much impossible from an outsider's standpoint. And additionally, I don't think either of you is necessarily to blame for your individual reactions.

I absolutely feel for you guys, Hidan-anon and your friends. I, too, would be seething if someone I love was harrassed in the way Hidan (and co) has been. I do not know the extent of the harrassment. But I believe you when you say, that you've suffered. And I am very sorry you have been through that.

I also feel for Hidans friends, who, (bless their hearts) really are trying to protect them from further harm. An absolutely understandable sentiment.

I do however, also really feel for Kisame, who, (bear with me here) is probably being framed. They have been faced with a lot of backlash from party 1, have tried to defend themselves to no avail, up to the point of having to retreat. And all that...for what?

Act III: The Point I'm trying to make

Do none of you realise, that you're being pinned against each other?

There is a person (or perhaps several) that has harrassed Hidan-anon with very vile threats and they are getting away with it. There is someone out there, that is having the time of their life, watching you scratch each others eyes out, causing pain and suffering for everyone involved, while they sit back and watch the show.

Kisame-anon has not sent you these messages. They have proof of it. Wether you believe them or not, is up to you, but...

Do you really want to keep hurling hate at a person, that is just as much a victim as you are? A person who, themselves, is a victim of sexual abuse and would never even think of the idea of sending someone rape threats?

Would you not rather work together to bring that (pardon my french) asshat to justice, that is playing sick games with the both of you?

And mind you, it's not just Kisame you're isolating. You're isolating their friends, who are doing the same as you: Protecting those they care about.

You're isolating kind strangers like me, who just want to roleplay without the drama, by blocking them by mere association.

And you're isolating oblivious newcomers, who might have the misfortune of stumbling over the "wrong" blog at the wrong time.

This is not okay guys.

And coercing others into doing the same (blocking by association) is further doing damage, because many people just want to stay away from the drama and thus do as you say without much thought. The whole thing is harmful in itself, but it's worse, because you're doing it to the wrong person.

Kisame has evidence that they're innocent. Kisame also has a quite solid theory who it is. Do you not want to at least have a look at it?

If you truly care about the safety and wellbeing of your friends, I strongly suggest you do. Because the actual predator is still out there.

I am glad that Hidan went to the police. I hope that they find who is behind all of this and that they get taken care of for good. Because like things stand now, you're about to drag an innocent person to the guillotine and letting the true perpetrator go. And you're dividing an entire RP fandom, that used to be a safe space.

I don't want this to happen.

Act IV: So...what now?

I want this post to be a wake up call. A wake up call for all those who are as confused, as I was and unsure what to do; but also, especially, to Hidan-anon and friends. Please, let us put down arms and find a solution.

I care about you. And I care about Kisame. And I love this little RP space we built and the friends I made here. I want us to stand together, acknowledge each other's suffering and grow as people. Let us talk things out.

I want this post to be a safe place for exchange. Feel free to add your thoughts and sentiments in the comments. Everything is welcome, as long as it is respectful and communicated calmly. I am more than happy to provide you with a neutral ground to talk things out. My DMs and Asks are always open for anyone who needs an ear or a shoulder.

We, as Naruto fans, more than anyone else, should know that hate creates nothing but more hate. So let us lead with compassion and patience. And listen to each other. Thank you for your attention.

[minediamonds]

I'm up really early today. So maybe that's why I'm feeling so blah.

But there's also the fact that since moving to this blog, I keep losing mutuals and idek why. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate all of my mutuals who are still here. But I just found out someone soft-blocked me and I was looking forward to interacting with them. Sent memes and everything, and nope.

I genuinely adore all the threads I currently have. I adore all my RP partners so much. But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't discouraged a bit by this. I don't understand the issue and I wish I did. I'm the same person I always was and so I don't see why people would not want to interact now if they previously did. And listen, I would much rather people who don't want to interact not force themselves. But it's still discouraging, you know? It still sucks feeling so easily replaceable in the RPC.

I don't know what the solution is, tbh. I've been trying to ignore these feelings of mine and just focus on having fun. But it's hard. Very hard. How can I have fun when I feel I'm not needed or wanted here? It's tricky, because I say this when I have so many threads that I really do love, with RP partners I genuinely adore. But the fact that I keep losing mutuals is getting to me. Idek why it's bothering me so much, it just makes me feel so bad.

I genuinely don't care if I lose a mutual on my personal. So ideally, I could approach RP the same way. But somehow, when I lose a mutual on here, it feels more personal. Even though it's not meant to, it still does. I don't know the solution. All I know is I need to find one, before I quit RPing for good.

I don't want anyone to force themselves to interact with me. But am I really that bad a writer/rper? Maybe I am. Or maybe it's nothing personal and just keeps happening coincidentally. But it certainly feels just as sucky either way. Hopefully, I will figure out how to deal with these sucky feelings. Otherwise, I might have to leave.

I just want to say that I bear the person who soft -blocked me (and all the other mutuals I've lost) no ill will. It's not your fault , you need to curate your space I get it. But two things can be true. You need to curate your space AND me always being the one removed is getting to me, making me feel bad. I don't know what the answer is, yet. But I do hope I'll find it. Because I do genuinely love all my RP partners. And all the threads we have. And I would love to stick around for them.

[helreginn]

Hey! I know this seems random, but I’ve been looking for people to rp vikings and I’m Norse, have you found many people? I would make a blog for a Viking character if I knew there were people out there. Let me know, thanks! - ooc.

@mcu-pep

Hope you don't mind me posting this publicly. I myself am in search of people. I even resurrected @theroleplayingedda (a masterlist of rpers) in hopes of finding people with limited success. But I did find as many active (this year, at least) blogs in my followers and in the tags that I could. So I figured I'd put this here in case others were having trouble too.

Really hope you guys do not mind me tagging you like this... If not, lemme know and I'll remove you. :)

RP PSYCHOLOGY: SELF FULFILLING PROPHECY

Britannica defines a self-fulfilling prophecy as a "process through which an originally false expectation leads to its own confirmation.”

It’s something we see often in the roleplay community; people who are posting ads are often doing so because they aren’t deriving enough from the hobby. They aren’t fully satisfied with the volume or quality of the RP they’re getting; they aren’t doing one of the plots they want to do. They aren’t writing as or against a character they want. They may have been looking for a long time.

⚠️ It should be noted that there is nothing wrong with not feeling that you’re getting enough from the RP. It should not be frowned upon or an immediate cause for current partners to worry. ⚠️

Many, many people consistently putting ads out there or responding to ads have been burned a lot. They may not have any RP going on at all, and we all know how frustrating that can feel. Ghosting is prolific. On top of that, many conversations between prospective writing partners go south and become hostile quickly. People run into enough flakes or creeps that they become jaded. The slightest hint of a red flag raises their hackles.

In these scenarios, the self-fulfilling prophecy can look something like this:

“Ten minutes and no response. Guess you’re gonna ghost me like all the others.”

Ordinarily, this person might not take a ten minute period of silence as a red flag. However, after being ghosted for the dozenth time, they flare up at the earliest whiff of phantasmic activity. The recipient of that message might have been using the restroom. They might have been eating a snack, taking a nap, or any number of innocuous activities they felt free to do. Upon returning to that message, however, you can guess what they’ll do next. 👻

It happens all the time. Being ghosted by this person only exacerbates the prophet’s negativity. They might add something to their ad like, “I HATE ghosts. If you’re just gonna ghost, don’t even bother.”

This tells others that this person is frequently ghosted. That in and of itself could indicate an issue with the RPer, even if in reality it was just rotten luck. It also tells them they’re angry — which makes them less courageous about confronting them if there’s an issue. To avoid conflict… they ghost.

So what’s the actionable step to being a better roleplayer and crafting better ads?

Don’t use your ad to vent or gripe about past prospective partners. Don’t complain about getting ghosted when you’re trying to get to know someone new. It’s frustrating and maddening, but these are not the times. These are not the places. And doing so is going to make the other person more likely to ghost, not less likely. Never in the history of haunting has a ghost thought, “Oh, but that person said I can’t ghost… so I’d better be up front and let them know I lost interest.” Ghosts gonna ghost.

[eraserisms]

Your portrayal sticks out because it represents the only time I've ever fallen in love with a fandom just because of 1 RPer, never mind that I agreed to RP with you on this account despite my usual apprehensions about interacting with fandoms I don't know. I trusted you & I'm glad I did. You're so patient yet passionate when it comes to summarizing scenes of the show & relationships between characters--but that's over IMs, OOC. (Yes, everyone, the mun is kind & funny, in addition to be being a great RPer.) ANYWAY!

Shota's 1 of my favorite characters to interact with on here. I don't have it in me to go read or watch all of MHA, but I'm always finding myself asking questions about Shota or wondering what he'd do in ___ situation. & you know his voice, so you know the answer. & then there's all the work you put into developing parts of him that aren't canonically talked about. This is what the writing part of fandom is meant for. I don't know if you write fanfics, but they'd be enjoyable as fuck. I love reading your metas & HCs for Shota, no matter how long, because I CRAVE THE INFORMATION!! Also he's my dad (lol).

TL;DR - you're my only Shota & I love the effort you put into your portrayal. Thanks for introducing Kylie to his first boyfriend.

In reference to this post

You're so sweet. I am so glad that you gave me and Shota a chance! I have to say though, I feel the same way about the characters that you write. I honestly had forgotten how much I enjoyed X-men and Marvel things and didn't plan on doing too much interaction with those fandoms despite BNHA being a superhero based fandom. Thank you for reminding me, truly.

Also I am always ecstatic to answer any questions that you have about the fandom and storyline-esque things. Your active interest in something that you are unfamiliar with is really flattering within itself. I feel that you've also been so incredibly patient with me as far as explaining things goes because I have forgotten so much about those fandoms. Also the only comics I've ever really read as far as Marvel goes have been The Incredible Hulk, Captain America & Hawkeye. So, you filling me in on stuff I don't know about has been incredibly helpful especially considering that so many other Marvel RPers have reached out to me here.

I haven't written any MHA fanfictions yet but maybe sometime in the future. If I were to do anything like that , it would likely be some sort of one shot because I'm terrible at writing them to be honest. I think that's why I end up writing a lot of long-winded headcanons/metas here instead. & Shota is more than willing to 'dad' you any day of the week, being a dad is one of his many talents.

P.S. - I do a lot of shippy things with the person who introduced me to Shota who also plays All-Might. I actually made this blog with the intention of building familial/platonic & student/teacher relationships with Shota. Also given Shota's asocial nature, I didn't think that I'd be writing too many romantic relationships for him. But, given that we had written with each other in the past I was more open to the idea of shipping with you in general. & I have to say; I am happy to have started shipping Kylie with Shota. I feel that they compliment each other so well.

⭐ Hi y'all! 20 y/o male RPer here.

Lemme get straight to the point. I'm looking for any 18+ writers who might be interested in trying an RP involving my Dipper (from Gravity Falls) and a character from any of the fandoms I list below.

I already have a very basic plot for this, taking place some time after the final episode of GF, in which Dipper is back home at Piedmont when he stumbles upon said character. I know it's pretty barebones but we can work something out depending on which character you can RP as. I'm also pretty open to any headcanons you might have.

So here's a list of characters that I'm looking for (Those written in bold indicate they're ones that I'm interested the most):

Dippy Fresh (Gravity Falls)

Stanford Pines (Preferably any of the younger versions of him) (Gravity Falls)

Stanley Pines (Same deal as Ford above) (Gravity Falls)

Wendy Corduroy (Gravity Falls)

Robbie Valentino (Gravity Falls)

Norman Babcock (ParaNorman)

Wirt (Over the Garden Wall)

Gregory (Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach)

DJ Walters (Monster House)

Raz Aquato (Psychonauts)

Lili Zanotto (Psychonauts)

I'm certain there are plenty of others, but these are the ones that I'm interested in the most.

I don't have that many limits, but I want to stick to the characters' canon ages, so NSFW is forbidden. Also note that I don't usually do doubles in an RP as it's harder for me to focus on more than one character, though I'd be willing to try nonetheless.

I'm open to do the RP on Tumblr, Discord, or wherever else of your choice.

Like or comment on this ad and I'll reply before long ⭐

😉👍

☙Not even joking you'll get the block❧

[Heya, Alex here. I'll begin by saying that I'm not new to RP. I've been in the RP scene since I was 14, and I'm 30, so yeah.

A couple of pointers...

I'm going to start by saying that I'm distant, I easily get burned out and I've got many hobbies besides RP. As such I won't make my life here.

Next, even though I'm taken in real life, my partner doesn't mind me writing smut with rpers, as long as it stays as writing.

I'm 30 and grumpy, I don't have patience for people bringing drama so please, keep it out or I will - look at the block sign-

{RP RULES, WARNINGS AND MUSES UNDER KEEP READING}

Rp rules

I admit I'm not a person of rules, but in the RP community for bad or for good it's needed so here I go:

1. No God mode, no fighting power RP's, blah blah, ya know the drill...

2. Smut will come with how captivated our characters get to one another. Chemistry and all.

3. Multiship. No, I won't accommodate or stay loyal. Forget it.

4. I'm a person of descriptions and paragraphs. You don't have to match this energy but you must give me something to work with.

5. No special requests, nothing of the sort. I'm here looking for someone to write with not to write for.

6. Conversation about limits before any NSFW or Dead Dove stuff.

7. Just... respect.

8. I'm not your emotional garbage. I've left RP because people loved using me as their emotional trash. I have problems of my own.

9. No minors. Just, don't even...

A warning:

This place gets triggering, it will, there's no reason to lie or omit. This place is partly for me to cope. I won't give details, I don't have to, so yeah...Dead Dovey as fuck.

Story-wise, listen...I'm not here for fluff, I'm not here for a boring slice-of-life tale. I'm here for intense interactions, fucked up relationships, complicated feelings, complex stories, and hard-heavy topics.

Anything short of a Melanie Martinez song or a Deftones album I'm not interested.

Cutesy dooty stuff is only for people I've been rping for a really long time and that I trust a lot. Which 99.9% of humanity isn't so...there's that.

We absolutely (prioritize and even make it a rule!) discuss limits and triggers, it's the most important part of rping. I will not do anything people aren't comfortable with unless they don't tell me - so communicate, please.

TW: dark humor, heavy topics like drugs, s*xual ab*se, r*pe, s*xual h*rassment, s*lf destruction (including narcotic abuse and self-h*rm), mentions of historical or past bigotry, violence, gore, psychological torment and abuse, dirty kinky s*x, hard pornographic and lewd topics, fantasies, paraphilia, BDSM, fetish...

Lastly, I don't agree or think like the characters I might rp, please, we are all ppl rping stuff we wouldn't do or believe in rl, let's not even pretend or be immature about this, yes?

Shipping:

Of course, I have preferences. But I can work with any character.

Oc friendly, throw them at me! Just don't expect me to become your OC info dump. It ain't gonna happen.

NSFW/Lewd limits: *No minor related shit, No fecal matter, no vomit, no forced impregnation.

*There might be mentions of past trauma but never descriptions of what exactly happened and how.

Rp practicalities:

> [ooc]

> "IC speech"

> Descriptions, actions, and behavior

> - Thoughts -

Characters I rp:

.Angel Dust🕷

.Blitz🦎

.Fizzarolli🤡

.Husk🐈‍⬛️

.Lucifer🍎

.Striker🐍

.Vox📺

Oc:

.Samyaza🦁 [headcanons]

And to finish:

Ask me and the characters anything and we'll answer. Make sure to specify to which character or if it's OOC.

If you're interested in plotting and rping on Discord or here please interact below this post or DM.

[baraste-legacy]

Wiredraw was one among this band of fine SWTOR fanartists, fanficcers and RPers whose antics I used to watch from afar during SWTOR's heyday: @asceticcyan, @damarlegacy, @thegarbagechute, @ezroad, @miss-madwell, @awkwardtimezone, @heychief (are they back? 🤔), @amarearts, @lisjonok, and so, so many more, my comfort food and inspiration in times of growing stress.

A few of these incredible people aren't around on Tumblr anymore, quite probably out of frustration after having to purge their blogs in every successive wave of censorship, or maybe simply having outgrown it.

The thing about Wiredraw is that much of her distinctive art still survives the shutdown of her Tumblr, as reblogs by her peers and other admirers. Normally, as a fan art hoarder and compulsive reblogger 😅😓, I'd rather have the artist be reachable (via links to their Tumblr or any alternative) so that people can enjoy more of their art and commission them if they sell their wares, but in her case the only available links are her old DeviantArt (last updated in 2015) and a Twitter that hasn't been updated in a year and a half (and whose content doesn't have to do with any of this anyway, so, it might not be the best idea to link it).

Given things, I think I'm going to reblog her art whenever I find it, because I'd hate it if it would disappear out of sheer social media entropy. I saw @swtorpadawan collect a whole lot of it already, and I was hesitating because of the lack of contact data, but I know I'd regret not joining in.

If anyone still keeps in touch with Wiredraw, it would be great if they could ask her if this is okay with her. And tell her that we miss her and her OCs 🙂.

This is SWTORpadawan's EXTENSIVE collection so far (which I'm oh-so-going to raid and reblog 😅), and this is what I got at the moment, myself. Expect a ton more.

[nytehavyn-circle]

Oh, something else I'm gonna bitch about now that I see way too much of on here and in peoples' rules.

You fuckers that shame anyone who RPs taboo subjects? You either need to get out of your house, away from the internet, and actually see the world, or lock yourself in your room and hunker down away from reality.

I know you love to say "I use RP as an escape!" Well, surprise here, but so does everybody else! But sometimes they like to interject a little taboo into their RP without being fucking judged, made to feel guilty, or being run off of Tumblr.

Oh, and you people who refuse to play with anyone who even dares RP taboo subjects? Piss off. You can RP with someone without RPing those taboo subjects with them.

Yes, you curate your own RP experience, and you can follow and/or block anyone you want, but some of you are seriously missing out on some wonderful RP partners. But, no, you're too stuck on actually shaming the mun behind the muse.

I've explored some taboo subjects in my RPs. And I plan on doing it again, and again. So, might as well unfollow me. Never mind that you can fucking BLOCK said taboo threads/tags. And if you have Xkit, you can even block the thread itself.

But no, you won't do that. You'd rather ignore the whole person. Or shame them, whichever brings you the most pleasure. And it's usually done on Anon, which also makes you a coward.

Same goes for you people who refuse to RP with anyone who has a dead FC (I'm talking multimuse, you know, where there is more than one muse you can play with?), or 'problematic' FCs (on a multimuse, where you know, there is more than one muse you can play with?)

Another thing? Refusing to RP with people who only RP white muses or PoCs... what if the mun is white and feels uncomfortable RPing PoC's because they can't understand what PoCs go through? What iff the mun is a PoC and is uncomfortable playing white muses? Some of you bitch muns out for not RPing PoCs or white muses and some of you bitch muns out for paying PoCs or white muses. So which is it? They should be playing PoCs/white muses or they shouldn't?

And that attitudes I've mentioned above? Is exactly why so many people are SCARED to RP on here or ask people to RP on here, or even seek people out. Because, inevitably, a good chunk of the Tumblr RPC will find something to tear those RPers apart for, or chase them off of the website.

Because if you don't want someone RPing something that they RP, instead of leaving them alone, you would rather run them off for being 'problematic'.

I LOVE RPing on this site, and I will never leave it, no matter how many death threats and shit I get... but the Tumblr RPC, as a whole, is fucked up beyond belief. Most of the time, you people don't even know what you want.

To the rest of you in the RPC:

If you RP taboo subjects, I love you. If you RP PoCs? I love you. If you don't RP PoCs, I love you. If you play twisted, sick muses, I love you. If you play Mary Sues or self-inserts, I love you. If you use animated FCs, drawn FCs, dead FCs, I still love you. If you write smut, I love you. If you don't write smut, I love you.

I DON'T love you if you make people feel like shit for the above.

[chernayavidua]

Are there any ships you can’t stand, why?

OUT OF WIDOW !!

i will preface this by saying that if any mutuals reading this write any of the mentioned ships, please do not take offense to my opinions. these are opinions formed due to fandom's takes on these ships/characters not rp. if you ship these wonderful ! i'm sure you do a much better job than like 90% of fandom !!

                 meren i don't know if you're doing it on purpose or not but you sent me the questions i can rant about for days on end. love that and you ! so this might be a spicy take or not who knows but the ships i can't stand are the ones that fandom really likes. stu.cky is one of them because most of the things i've seen over the years on here are posts about how either steve or bucky are these useless cinnamon rolls that need to be protected and bubble wrapped as if one didn't willingly fight during a damn war and the other wasn't turned into a trained killer. the blogs/fans who write them likes this usually write steve and bucky as being too dumb for modern technology and like they can't work a toaster. which really is, in my opinion, an insult to not only the characters themselves but also the fans who know how to write them properly. ( steve literally memorized the map from the compound in cap 1 due to the serum but yeah, let's just forget that for shits and giggles ) as a steve writer myself, i could go on about this but i'll stop here by simply saying that steve and bucky are complex and those that only see them as uwu soft bois only take the movies at face value and can't look deeper / not willing to go beyond cotton candy fluff. i will say that i have read some pretty darn good stu.cky takes on my dash over the few years i've been rping here. it isn't the ship itself but how fandom has twisted it and almost fetishized it that makes me not like the ship tbh

                 another is ste.ggy and this is mainly because of the fans, the actress, and the writers of what if. ( and to an extent chris too ) peggy shooting at steve in cap 1 is not the Female Empowerment move everyone thought it was / thinks it is. it was a move prompted out of jealousy for someone she hardly even knew all because she saw him kissing another woman. which i'm pretty sure is frowned upon by many when male characters do it and they aren't even shooting bullets at anyone. and steve going back in time to a woman he knew for, say, a handful of months at best makes no sense when taking into account everything he'd been through since being taken out of the ice. steve literally saw how peg/gy had moved on and made a whole life for herself and he chose to meddle with that why? bc chris wanted to kiss haley again? yawn. natasha and ban/ner is another one but i think everyone collectively erased that from their mind because it was so out of freaking left field it made as much sense as the makeup department deciding bleaching sj/o''s eyebrows. however, i think this ship can be written a million times better by rpers and i could get behind it in rp. ( i've read some good interactions with these two tbh )

                 again, most of the things i've seen on the fandom side of tumblr about these ships 100% exclude their female counterparts in canon ( comics ) and hate on not only the characters but also the actresses ---mainly emily--- which is very gross. and of course my favorite female characters aka natasha and sharon are pushed aside and turned into the bad guys for keeping the uwu yt boi away from their true love because apparently men cannot be friends with other men and breath in the same direction as them without it meaning they're in love. platonic male friendships are extremely important not only irl but also in fiction. i believe that people can in fact ship these characters together without diminishing, villinizing or slutshaming the important women in their lives, but majority of fandom simply doesn't see it that way.

mun questions ➢ always accepting

[shimmerbeasts]

NAME :　Miss Tantabis, usually called Miss T or T for short.

PRONOUNS:　She/Her, might wanna see how I feel about Them.

PREFERENCE  OF  COMMUNICATION: Discord. While I can use the Tumblr IM and use them as icebreakers, I have gotten more used to using Discord nowadays as it is far more reliable.

NAME  OF  MUSE(S): My primary muses are Jinx, Silco and Vi. My secondary muses are Naafiri, Sevika, Vander/Warwick and Kindred. When it comes to my secondary muses, they are not all equal and sometimes one goes more silent while the other one is far more awake. I tend to go where my muses lead me when it comes to replies.

EXPERIENCE  /  HOW  LONG  (  MONTHS  /  YEARS? ): I started rping around the time I finished my A-levels aka my school graduation. That is nine years now. I started on Facebook and forums during these three years when I was in the advanced levels of high school. However, I quickly moved over to Tumblr. I think that was either already in 2014 or at the very least 2015. Though, if we wanna go by writing alone, I have been telling stories since I was six. That means over twenty years worth of writing by now.

BEST  EXPERIENCE: God, this is a hard question. I had many experiences in so many different rp communities. Not all of them were pleasant. However, I believe what I would deem my best experience, is the fact that through rp, outside of meeting amazing rp partners, I also made some very close friends. Some of these people, I have known for years, and they helped me through strife and tribulations. I cannot thank them enough for being the awesome human beings they are. At the same time, I am just so happy with how rpers give me a chance and how they have helped me so much with my ability to world build and finally embrace my own creativity. It may be an ongoing struggle, I still sometimes have, but I know I have people here who adore my ideas and my style and for that I cannot thank them enough.

RP  PET  PEEVES  /  DEALBREAKERS: I think the only real dealbreakers I have are things like blatantly expressed homophobia/racism, etc. Basically, people being dicks. Though that isn't really a surprise and not really RP-related. I think, in that regard, something I really despise is when people try to tell you how to write your blog, your muses, what you curate on your dash. I am not a big fan of one-liners either and normally, prefer multi-para replies. At the same time, if you can give me something to work with and the passion is there, I can also do shorter stuff. I also do not like it if communication does not happen, even though I know I too have to work on that sometimes. RPing is a two-way street and many of my pet peeves relate to that street being disrupted.

MUSE  PREFERENCES  FLUFF,   ANGST  OR  SMUT: I tend to say that I am predominantly a horror writer. Both due to my themes, my choice of characters and my writing style. Because of this, I absolutely love angst, whether that be heavily emotionally taxing angst or gory and violent angst. However, I am not opposed to fluff either, though I prefer if it is coming out of angst. I think that is called hurt/comfort. Smut is something, that while I do enjoy writing it sometimes, is not my biggest strong suit. I can normally only do certain types of smut and even then only with people I trust deeply and where my muses really have chemistry.

PLOTS  OR  MEMES: While I love using memes as an ice breaker just to gauge how our muses would interact with one another and whether our writing style mashes, I am more of a plotting kind of person. I still have to practise this craft a bit more. However, I prefer to have at least an idea of the dynamic we attempt to build with our muses and I always enjoy discussing potential scenes and plots we can do with that dynamic. If we manage to do the proper groundwork, most plots write themselves.

LONG  OR  SHORT  REPLIES: I prefer long threads and replies. I thrive on multi-para to novella roleplays. Threads, which are filled with details and characterisation. I love it when I can really sink my teeth into what has been written and when the reply challenges me to bring forth my A-game. Longer threads keep my passion going and usually make dropping things harder.

BEST TIME TO WRITE: I normally write in the early morning hours or afternoon. I do not think there is a best time to write. I am trying to learn to be able to write at pretty much any time. However, I also always check what I am in the mood for. Or I plan to try to finish specific replies. It does not always work.

ARE  YOU  LIKE  YOUR  MUSE(S): From my primary muses, the one I relate to the most and the one who is the loudest and easiest to write for me, is without a doubt, Jinx. While I may not have psychosis or the tendency to commit acts of murder, when it comes to Jinx's personality like her creativity, her wrathfulness and her tendency to overthink, those are elements, with which I deeply connect. By now I have written Jinx and built her and the world she inhabits in a way, which makes her both similar and different to the version of Arcane. This version of Jinx is very dear to me and in my eyes indeed shares some of my qualities.

[galaxicide]

IMPORTANT CANON DIVERGENT POINTS: many of my divergency points are made due to the sore lack of context in the movies, messy writing, and a bit of downright terrible writing. most of these are probably already featured in my carrd. but this post will be directly accessible via my pinned post because the divergencies are important.

the og trio ALL survive, ben too. kylo injures han (the severity is up to rpers). leia does not die, neither does luke. why? well, I don't agree with the narrative of wiping out the old for the new. nor having kylo kill off han because harrison wanted out. given how close han and ben's relationship once was, this simply doesn't fit for me. and I also don't think there can be any true healing after the war for ben without his family there. this family is the HEART of the entire franchise. killing them all off was a bad move...as much as I enjoy a tragic narrative.

Luke did NOT try to kill Ben. Ben finding out his relationship with Vader triggered his fall to the dark side, and he accidentally summoned a force storm during his rage (fanned by snoke too) that razed the entire temple, its students, and luke too, under bens impression. believing he'd murdered his uncle, ben ran. and wasn't seen again for some years. Though this divergence is negotiable if Luke rpers would prefer to write the actual canon!

Kylo does NOT kill Snoke. Snoke is the big bad here for me, not sOmeHoW pAlPaTiNe rEtUrNeD. Therefore, Kylo does not become supreme leader. He is so brainwashed by Snoke, that even though he suspects one day Snoke will eliminate him, he is still loyal. Snoke is ALL he knows.

I do not write the dyad as a romantic bond, at least not with rey and ben. their relationship is utterly atrocious, and kylo does exactly to rey what snoke is doing to him. it's manipulative and abusive and is not a good foundation for any relationship. i think they can achieve something akin to siblingship one day. but that's years away after tros.

ben's identity as kylo is only known to VERY FEW, including snoke, some highers up in the first order, and a few in the resistance. it's probably less than 10 people altogether. he NEVER removes his helmet in public for various reasons not related to this post. so if you're unsure whether your muse is or might be one of those 10 or so people, please feel free to ask.

it's honestly not as obvious in the movies as it should be imo, and is not a canon divergence. but it feels like it needs to be said often cus people still want to dismiss this fact in 2023. ben solo is a victim of decades of abuse and manipulation. no, it doesn't excuse his actions, but it gives context and explanation to them. i will never not make this point enough.

annnnd here comes the maybe controversial one. might depend on how well i explain it. han and leia are/were not purposely neglectful parents, nor perfect people...please, keep reading after that sentence. take a step back and think about it in terms of real adult life, okay. both of them are important people. leia is a senator. it would literally be impossible for her to be around all the time for ben. you simply cannot be a person that powerful and have a well balanced family dynamic. han, on the other hand, we know canonically was ben's primary caregiver for 6 years, which is a hot win, imo. stay at home dad, excellent. but he, too, eventually goes back to training pilots at the academy because it's what he's good at, and he deserves to continue it. i am in NO WAY saying that han and leia are bad people or parents. far from it. I've no doubt they tried endlessly, and they still are, even with ben falling to the dark side. they're just doing normal things that adults do. just because you have a child does not mean you stop being a person. BUT their busy adult lives paved the way for Snoke to move in and do what he wanted with Ben, which was to slowly turn him against them and make him believe he was unwanted and unloved by them. and that's not han and leia's fault, they didn't know what was going on. Ben was a child, and Snoke was an abuser that easily slipped through the cracks because he couldn't be seen. i realise this also wasn't really a canon divergence, but it needs to be said some more.
