RPC self-care

We all get worn down by life and often we turn to RP for rejuvenation. But more than once I've seen people on here that find themselves burnt out on the RP community itself. With nearly 20 years of role playing under my belt, I thought I'd share some of my favourite self-care tricks.

Block people. You don't have to explain yourself and 'weird vibes' is a legitimate reason. You deserve to feel safe and unbothered in your hobby space, and RP is based on consent. Just like with any recreational activity, you can withdraw your consent at any time and no is a complete sentence.

Turn off anon. This prevents anonymous harassment and gives you great insight into who to block or report if you get non-anonymous harassment.

Drop threads. I know RP etiquette suggests you need to tell your RP partner when and why, and sure, if they ask politely you can give it a go - just know that a pre-written variant of 'not feeling it' is good enough. In my humble opinion, I think dropping boring or vexing threads is everyone's prerogative and doesn't require explanation. Again, no is a complete sentence.

Talk it out. If you like the thread but things took a turn you didn't like, it's time to bring the RP into the workshop. Something like 'Hey I really like our RP so far but I'm losing my spark, can we talk about course correcting where the plot is going?'

Make clear rules and revise them frequently. I'd also advise against spending said rules excusing or explaining why you don't like or want a certain thing - I cannot stress enough how your preferences are not up for debate.

Get comfy chasing. A lot of RP is about inviting others to play over and over and over. Rejection is a part of it. See if you can't find some element of self-care in it - taking rejection well is a great skill to practice in such a low stake environment.

Notice and celebrate the good stuff, instead of digging holes about the bad. Tell your co-players how great they are. Marvel at all the hard work you put into your muses and graphics. Admire your own blog.

Stop. Take a break. Check in with yourself. Do you actually need to face something in IRL? Do you need to rest? A snickers? A walk? Don't bother with posts á la 'offline for the day' - leave your options open to reduce guilt or shame if you want to poke your head back in.

Happy writing. 🌿

a shitty guide to tumblr for people who have never been on this godforsaken website

yeah so ive been thinking about making one of these posts, because tumblr is pretty unlike a lot of popular social media today and because i lost the ones that used to be making rounds. this is mostly for my own use so i dont have to reexplain tumblr every time i try to introduce people to this website, and i can just send this post to them instead

this is more to help you get started with no context of how tumblr operates, its not really a strict guide for you to follow fyi. you could ignore this completely if you want, this is generally for people who are confused, lost, and need somewhere to start. this post also mostly expects you to know what the buttons do, or at least be able to figure out what they mean

quick table of contents for this post: 1. setting up your blog 2. how to use tags 3. tumblr algorithm 4. tumblr etiquette [as of this post] 5. common lingo [also as of this post]

1. setting up your blog

okay, so. tumblr has a hugeeeee bot problem. these bots typically have default pfps, nonsensical or overly average urls, no personalization to their blog with everything as the default, no reblogs/posts or very few of them. i, and many others, tend to block these. however, if youve just gotten tumblr and havent customized your blog yet, you might be confused for a bot. so the first thing you should do is something to show that youre a real person, like changing your banner, pfp, or blog title. people also tend to hide their following and likes, but thats up to you if you want them hidden

if youd like to add more information about yourself, such as having an introduction to your blog that doesnt fit in your bio, put it in an intro post and pin it to your blog to make it your pinned post [if you arent sure how to do that, press the three dots on the top right of the post and then press pin post]. ofc your pinned post could be some other post you really really like, such as a pinned reblog of a funny post, a post you made that you thought was a banger and encapsulates your blog, whatever. but keep in mind it will usually be what introduces people to your blog.

for me, my blog introduction has a short introduction to me, what i post, my main tags [ill get into that later], and masterposts. masterposts are posts that you use to link to other posts, typically for posts that are all connected in some way. some examples would be for an art challenge, an au, or a story that spans across posts. it just helps compile and keep track of things.

and ive seen that one repost of that tiktok post. you dont have to prep like its professional or smth [unless you want to ofc]. youre fine, tumblr is informal as hell. just be kind and respectful of others and you should be fine. also, random thing i didnt know where to put elsewhere. go into your settings. you can put stuff like a theme for your blog, add timestamps to posts (which i highly reccommend, keeps you from reblogging warnings that are out of date n such), and whatever else you can find in there.

in addition, you can make side blogs! side blogs are attached to your main blog, and are used for a variety of things. some examples include: gimmick blogs [a blog whos whole purpose is to do one specific thing], ask blogs [a blog where you rp as a character and answer asks as if you were them], au/story/comic blogs [just to keep all of it in one place, if you dont want to use tags], fandom blogs [to split up your blogs by the fandom they post about], and more!

2. how to use tags

people here on tumblr can be veryyyy particular on tags. if you misuse them badly enough, you will likely find out the hard way. so, to prevent that from happening, here a quick crash course in tumblr tags!

dont spam unrelated tags if you make a post about blorbo and tag bingus, despite him not being in the post, that is using an unrelated tag and people will probably get annoyed or mad at you. you tag what is in the post. im looking at you instagram users. you tag the character[s] featured in the post, the fandom/story theyre from, and as [fandom] fanart, [fandom] fanfiction, or whatever it is. [pssstt fyi instead of fandom in brackets you put the fandom the character is from!]

dont main tag vagueposts a vague post is when you talk about someone, without naming them. this is typically done to shit talk the person its about. if you reallyyyy need to talk shit about someone that badly, dont tag it with the main tags you both interact through. ngl i think its just petty and shitty to make vagueposts in the first place, but you do you.

dont main tag critique/hate of people, ships, or characters lets say, for example, you really hate a ship in your fandom, and it bothers you to the point you feel the need to make this dislike known. you do NOT tag it with the name of that ship. people go into that tag to see people talking about how much they like that ship. that is a quick way to get a lot of hate. if you really need to, use that tag with crit slapped onto the end of it. generally, dont walk into someones house, shit talk it, and be surprised when they punch you in the face.

dont censor tags youre not going to get murdered by staff if you say suicide in your tags. if you put tags using censored terms like sewerslide or suc1d3, that only makes it so people who have those terms blocked will get those posts on their dashes. tag that shit and dont censor it, for the sake of the people around you.

now that thats out of the way, heres the other cool thing about tumblr tags! as i mentioned in the third to last paragraph of the previous section, you might want to put your main tags in your pinned post. tumblr allows you to search blogs by tag, so if someone wants to search for all of your posts that are tagged #blorbo, they can!

as an example i have 5 main tags listed in my pinned post that i use, the tag with all my art, the tag with all my writing, my tag for random textposts i make, my tag of reblogs, and my mutuals tag so i can look back and be like yayyyyy i love my moots :3. and while i dont have one, people tend to have an ask tag, where they can put all the asks they answer

3. tumblr algorithm

hate to break it to you pookie, but tumblr doesnt really have an algorithm like other social media. i lied. im sorry. im stealing your spleen. the for you page is... there. but no one uses it most of the time. tumblr operates more like websites used to, and you have to go hunt your posts down in the wild.

here on tumblr, we have the dashboard! it shows the posts from the people you follow in reverse chronological order. this means that, as a tumblr newbie, your dash will be empty. so, go into the tags and follow people who post and reblog things you like. however, that is step one in the circle of life here. you can stop there, of course, but you must keep something in mind.

if you like a post and want to share it with your followers, reblog it. a like will not get it onto their dash. a like is more like telling the original poster you thought the post was neat or that you saw it; this would be more like vent posts, posts about their private life, stuff like that. if its a post youd like to share with your followers, you reblog it; this is usually someone spitting facts you want to show your followers you agree with, a post you thought was funny, cool art, and whatever else you might want to have on your blog.

fyi, when i reblog i typically leave a like. it lets me know that i have interacted with this post before, and helps me so if im looking through a mutuals or someones blog and theres an awesome post left unliked, i know i didnt reblog it. however, thats just how i like to do it

4. tumblr etiquette

tumblr is a very old website, and that comes with a lot of unspoken rules the community has learned over time. heres a quick list of some rules you might need to keep in mind!

dont repost/steal posts a common thing i see on instagram and twitter is people reposting art, animation, or copying posts they thought were clever to farm likes. here on tumblr, we have reblogs! if you want that art on your blog, just reblog it. for example, if you run a gimmick blog that focuses on posting about one character, dont repost someone elses art [especially without credit]. just go reblog the original post, and let them know how much their contribution to the fandom is appreciated in the tags.

dont derail/hijack a post if you see a post thats completely unrelated to blorbo and about a different character completely and go, wow this is so blorbo coded! talk about it in the tags, or go make your own post. we build posts together here, we dont tear them down.

blocking you dont like seeing someone on your dash or when youre looking through tags? dont go and yell at them or something, or make a vaguepost. block their ass. how dare you interpret blorbo in that way. explode. get out of my sight. block tags you dont like. block keywords you dont like. block people you dont like. curate your online experience.

youve dicovered youre blocked oh no! someway, somehow, youve discovered youre blocked! oh the woe. dont make a vaguepost about it. dont go and make a hate mob because of it. it was likely nothing personal. maybe they just didnt like the way you typed. who literally cares. move on.

mutuals whenever you make a mutual, you often get bonded through blood together. i may be be posting about dogs and youre posting about taylor swift now, but through whatever led us to become mutuals, we are forever intertwined through our experience. the dash needs some diversity anyways. however, if this mutual has, for example, spontaneously started reblogging and posting about heinous shit you hate? block. begone. curate your online experience

someone posts something you dont like so you dont like what someones posting? what should you do? nothing. just leave them alone. dont send an ask, dont leave hate in their replies/reblogs. just block them if you need to, and move on

replying to reblogs you want to reply to someone in your reblogs, but you dont want to make a whole reblog or separate post? @ them in the replies of that post and chat with them there, or go to their dms and talk there

5. common lingo

heres some common terms youre likely to run into on tumblr! ofc this can vary from fandom to fandom, but from my experience these tend to span across fandoms.

op - original poster. the origin. the person who made the first post youre reblogging

moot/mutual - a person who you follow and they follow you back

<- prev - used in tags, to denote tags taken from the previous reblog. this can stack, to denote prev prev prev, but just screenshot the tags and add them in a reblog at that point

<- ops tags - used similarly to prev, but specifically for ops tags

blorbo - a term to describe the character that has taken over your mind like a parasite

scrimblo (and its variations) - a term similar to blorbo, but with more of a scraggly tinge to it

tumblrina - a gender neutral term for tumblr users. its not used all that commonly anymore, but i felt it was worth mentioning

yuri - term for a ship between girls

yaoi - term for a ship between boys

headcanon/hc - an interpretation of a character that is not canon. usually is a trait that falls in line with their canon portrayal, but not always

id/alt text - an image description. it describes an image in text, so that if the image is not loading or someone is blind, they can still know what it is/what it says. heres a helpful image for how to write one

asks - when you open your askbox, something you have to do through your settings, it allows people to send you messages that when you answer it posts as a whole tumblr post on your blog. you can also customize your askbox, only by changing the text from 'ask me anything!' to whatever you want. also, it might just be a me thing, but i like to tag who sent the anon in by their url or anonymous if theyre on anon

anon/anonymous - what we use to refer to people who are sending you an ask while on anonymous. some people have them off, because many people dont have the balls to send... unsavory asks on main. this is also why when people are getting hate, anon is turned off

queue - something ive actually neglected to mention! when you add things to your queue, it will post a certain amount of posts over time at the rate you set it to, during the time range you set it to

communities - tumblr communities are a more recent thing that was added to tumblr! you can go join them if youd like. quick warning though, communities that are open tend to get the occasional porn bot posting links in it. report it to a community moderator. this also means that communities that you have to be accepted into likely arent going to reject you. its probably just there to help prevent bots from getting in

porn bots - bots that post links to porn. they spam tags, communities, and spam follow people. report the porn as spam or sexual content, block, and move on

of course, there are way more terms used on this website than this, especially fandom specific ones. i couldnt possibly include them all, but this should be enough so you can understand what people are saying most of the time

in conclusion...

thanks for reading! i hope you enjoyed this post, or found it helpful. make sure to be kind to people around you, stay respectful--even of things you might think are a little odd, cringe culture is dead--, and most of all, have fun!

happy blogging :3

[pssstttt hey tumblr users, if theres anything major you think i missed, let me know in the replies or a reblog and ill add it.]

"my friends are my power!"

kingdom heart 3's sora, as written by leon (he/him, 19)

a study in: best friendship, sacrifice, longing, blooming love, unending rage, and much, much more...

this blog will be in character as if sora was posting, but i'm also open to plotted roleplays!

since this is a sideblog, likes and follows will come from @/sevensecondstilltheend.

below the cut are my rules and headcanons for sora!

Rules:

I'm a real person behind this account, with feelings just like you, so please be polite when interacting (or specify if it's the character being rude if that's what's going on lol). I also struggle to understand tone over text so I may ask for clarification. Apologies in advance.

Please no inappropriate/NSFT (or anything related) asks. Muse (the character) is a minor (so it would be weird anyway) and mun (the person behind the account) is an adult, however such asks usually make mun uncomfortable. Unless previously discussed, please don't send asks in that manner- I probably won't respond to them. Light jokes are fine, however keep what I just said in mind.

I will not be on my accounts/this account all the time, it's just a fun side thing. I also run around 8 or 9 blogs (I believe) and just have other things going on in my life. I'll try to respond as quickly as possible.

Basic roleplay etiquette is expected.

Don't spam me, especially about shipping. I probably won't answer questions about shipping. And don't involve me in drama.

Speaking of shipping, if you want to pair our characters together romantically, then discuss it with me first. I won't auto-ship anyone, and I will assume the type of relationship the characters have in canon (friendly, enemies, etc) unless otherwise discussed.

I will be as close to the canon character as possible, however of course I will add my own headcanons.

Other:

Original characters are always welcome!

Feel free to send in asks, starters, etc. Consider my posts in-character as rp starters, so feel free to respond to them (unless otherwise stated)!

I tag things that make me think of Sora as "heart of light". I'll come up with a tag for those posts in character/role-playing some day, for now they're just left untagged

Here are my headcanons. These will be updated as needed:

Sora is 15-16 here. I'm not exactly sure how old he is in Kingdom Hearts 3, but I'm pretty sure it's around that range.

Sora is bisexual.

Sora is transgender FTM.

Sora is part Japanese (on his mom's side) and part Puerto Rican (on his dad's side). He knows some Spanish (mostly curse words and basic phrases) and knows more Japanese (still mostly basic phrases) and English (main language).

Sora's dad's job requires him to leave for a few weeks at a time.

Sora is bad with technology.

Sora REALLY likes hot chocolate. He also enjoys apple juice.

His go-to comfort meal is animal crackers. It's a quick snack and easy to prepare. Easy to eat too.

He's a fluffy blanket enjoyer.

He oftens has nightmares about losing his friends- mainly Riku and Kairi.

Sora suffers from some depression and suicidal ideation. Often times he'll put on a smile to hide how he's truly feeling, and it takes a lot of effort to get him to come clean about how he really feels. (This will be tagged accordingly if it comes up in an rp)

Sora really likes Paramore and Avril Lavigne.

Sora might have autism and/or adhd but hasn't gotten diagnosed yet.

Sora REALLY likes spicy food. He also likes peanut butter. A lot.

He gets scared easily from movies like Scream.

He's the type of guy to act like he's dying when he just has a cold.

I remember sending this to a bunch of dsmp blogs (starting with elmhat I think ?) bc I like when people share ideas/opinions who diverge from the main consensus because I find it the most efficient way for people to stick to canon and not fanon since people can have different interpretations of event

And it was super interesting to see the one about the experimentation being after prison rather than before (loved the two LN and Q ones too but as you said they were a bit more common. Would love to see your take on c!slime though now)

(And I wouldn't have a problem with you giving unpopular opinion about the fandom either but to be clear I was not trying to start anything with my first question, I just like seeing uncommon takes)

Don't worry lol I didn't assume you were trying to start shit. Ok, so c!Slime is pretty interesting in that he's the closest thing we have to an NPC in what is otherwise a roleplay, which implies certain things about how he can be used in the narrative.

A little bit of quick background: I spent a LOT of time as a kid doing RP online (it was an original story set in the Death Note universe and it happened on a website that went bankrupt in like 2017 and no longer exists lmfao don't worry about it) and idk what RP etiquette is like in other communities, but in the community I was a part of, it was sort of frowned upon for players to outsource heavy plot/character development material to NPCs. It was allowed and people did it, but it was seen as sort of a cop-out. The underlying idea being that if you're gonna bother to do RP, your character's most important interactions should be with other PCs, in part because it helps build/strengthen the RP community and in part because it better entrenches your character's storyline in the storylines of other PCs, which in turn encourages other players to keep RPing and keeps the story going. Again, creating NPCs was very common, but players were discouraged from having entire arcs or character trajectories be highly dependent on NPCs. It was seen as sort of a cheap, low-effort way of progressing your character's development without having to coordinate plot beats with other players, and doing it too often was seen as sort of antithetical to what RP is trying to achieve as a form of gaming-storytelling. To me, c!Slime is a classic example of when an RPer outsources a little too much narrative weight onto an NPC.

First of all, I wanna clarify that it's kinda difficult to define what an NPC is or isn't on this server, but I'd say c!Slime is more of an NPC because even though he's played by a CC with some degree of improv, we know that cc!Quackity specifically wrote c!Slime's character to fulfill a narrative role and asked cc!Slime to play that character - as opposed to alternate characters played by CCs of their own accord (Sam Nook, Dream XD, Sam Bucket, Mexican Dream, etc.) So, for example, I don't see Sam Bucket as an NPC but I do see c!Slime as an NPC. c!Slime wasn't an original creation on the part of the player, he's a narrative tool (which is fine, but it does mean that what he can and can't do in the story is limited to what cc!Q needed him to do.)

There are some things I think the addition of c!Slime did accomplish. For one, Q's interactions with him provide a platform for more introspective character work on Q's part. And while I that character work could've been done by having Q interact with a PC instead, I do think Slime is better positioned to act as an apprentice figure because he had almost no lore prior to Las Nevadas and didn't enter the story with baggage or ties to any other major characters. He's a blank slate, which makes him really easy to use as a narrative device. Q voices thoughts and ideas to Slime that he can't voice to other characters (usually because it would be OOC for him to do so, or wouldn't make sense in context), which means that Slime is sort of a vehicle for delivering Q characterization to the audience.

This is all fine and I think a lot of it was done fairly well. I like cc!Slime's acting and I think the character is a fun addition to the LN crew. That said, I don't think the payoff was great. Slime being an NPC really undermined what I assume cc!Q was going for with End of Las Nevadas, in large part because he doesn't have well-established relationships with other characters. Aside from Q, Slime basically only ever interacts with Tommy, Foolish and Ranboo, and even those interactions are limited to a really tiny handful of streams. Punz capturing and manipulating him, Slime helping c!Dream confront Quackity...all that stuff could have been a lot more interesting if it had more time to marinate. Like, I love the IDEA of Slime and c!Dream interacting, but we don't really get any meaningful interactions between them outside of Slime's function as a storytelling tool. He's there when he needs to be, and only ever when he needs to be.

For instance, I would've loved to see what Slime thinks about Q's slime army. It's really weird to model your mindlessly obedient slave army after your friend. That was a weird ass thing for Q to do, and it would've been cool to see Slime react to that. But because he's more NPC than PC, and because highly scripted lore like the LN series doesn't really encourage deviation, we never get to find that out. Slime doesn't ever really get to be his own character, which in the end kinda undermines a lot of the character development he triggers for c!Quackity because at the end of the day, it's really transparent that Slime only exists to be a prop. It's a kind of one-sided relationship that's unique to RP.

I think End of Las Nevadas was weak for other reasons too, but uhhhh yeah the Slime stuff bothered me a bit. Would've liked to see him do more. And he disappears after pushing Q off the ledge and, to my knowledge, we never see him again! If he had been more PC and less storytelling tool, presumably other characters would've had opportunities to react to Slime's role in the events of that stream, or notice that he's missing/back again/missing. But instead, he's able to just vanish from the story after he's fulfilled his role because that's all he was ever supposed to do.

“Did I remember to turn off the oven? Hope so!”

-Sprout 🍓

“Ahem- Is this thing on?… Looks like it is. How do you introduce yourself again-

I’m Sprout the strawberry! pretty sure that was obvious… This is my Askblog, where you.. ask.. the blog. And the Toons on it

You can Ask anytoon, and even the Handlers—just be respectful of boundaries. The Toons running this Blog are Yours Truly, Cosmo, Dandy, and Glisten.

(Not Connie anymore because she took some things too far… But she is still Askable.)

(Edit: Connie’s Back… yay…)

Let’s get some Rules straight…:

-You can Ask whatever (just don’t get too nosey…) [/Ooc: This can be bent a lot! just choose carefully who you ask, some Toons can be pushed for more information than others! c:]

-Don’t get into any NSFW, or Violent topics on this Blog. Not in asks, not in comments, not in reblogs. [*/Ooc: Cartoon Violence? Sure. But no realistic Gore.]

-Don’t bring Political things into this either [*/Ooc: This is supposed to be a goofy roleplay account, with a side of AU Lore…]

-Be nice to Cosmo.

-Bully Glisten for all I care, he hacked into my Account anyway

-Don’t stir up drama. [*/Ooc: Basic Etiquette…]

-Don’t harass anybody (except for Glisten with asks about his glass :) )

-[*/Ooc: Remember Toons will not answer Asks if they break these Rules, or are a Magic Ask they wouldn’t want to happen.]

-[*/Ooc: More Rule details below the RP Intro! Alongside Magic Anon Rules!]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Other Ask Blogs: Here!

Hello! Welcome to yet another Dandy’s World AU Roleplay Account!

*Dandy’s World, and Character’s from it, belong to BlushCrunch.

*Any OC’s, and AU Storylines, are the only things I own really…

⭐️Brief Story on this “Shelly’s World” AU!

(Aka the “Reformed!Dandy’s World AU”… Unless I think of a better name.)

This is a Universe after the events of the Ichor turning all of the Toons Twisted. Everyone has long since been recovered, and with new CEO’s and staff being hired—A New Show was started; Shelly’s World!

With the other Mains (discluding Dandy, he was not present for a while…) feeling unable to take the New Role as the Star of the Show, Shelly was chosen because of her Honest, Brave, Kind and Caring Nature!

Current Status:

(Last updated: April // Might take a while to answer throughout the next couple months (<originally noted: March))

(My inbox is kinda dead often anyway x,D)

-Asks are open!

-^May take a while to answer sometimes… I will be on-and-off due to my interests changing randomly—I will still answer Asks though!

-Please check out my other blogs!

Extra Notes:

-Every Toon is Askable, so are OC’s and Toon Handlers!…

-If you want to know more about OC’s or OC Handlers you can always ask Ooc or Mod about it! (Just note clearly that you are Asking the actual blog Owner!)

-Toons access the Blog through their Phones or Computers, so you don’t send Asks to their brains or anything…

-Asks do not take effect until a Toon or Handler answers one.

Characters open for Asks:

(In Lore, these Characters have direct access to Sprout’s Ask Blog—so they are the Mod Toons of the blog!)

-Sprout (Of course.. Unless he’s absent for whatever reason.)

-Cosmo

-Sam (Sprout’s Handler - Tries to Moderate the Blog, doesn’t always go very well)

-Dandy…

-Glisten (Wasn’t invited but whatever :D)

-Connie (Somehow has been allowed back as a Mod…)

-! Note: You can ask other Toons outside the ones Listed! (Even Christmas Toons, outside of Christmas.. well, most of them.)

-! Note Make it clear which Toons you’re asking—if you have one in Specific you want to Ask!

! Note: You can ask me about the AU also… If you doubt the Toons will (or can) answer. :)

Ask away! Just follow the Ask Rules please! :D

-Sprout’s Pronouns: He/Him (*For simplicity…)

-Owner of Acc: She/Her

-You can talk about other Fiction/Fandom on this blog! Feel free to ask the Toons which things they know about! (On my other Blog, @lilythecaattt, I note some Fandoms and such I am/was in :>)

-Other Roleplay Blogs are allowed! Or even other AU’s of the same characters!

-Magic Anons are allowed, but there is a limit to what you can do. I’ll note some examples in “Rules for Asks” below vvv

-Sometimes I add extra stuff in tags, so maybe check those on these posts… :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

!! ASK RULES !!

-No NSFW, or Realistic Gore. (Preferably avoid suggestive things…)

-^That means: DON’T BE “FrEakY” basically.

-Don’t make Diddy jokes… From the little I have heard, it is not funny.

-Please do not rant about really serious things.. If you’re just having a bad day, and need to vent a bit, that’s okay! But if you need help with Mental Health stuff, please find a number or something. (/I don’t mean to come off rude or anything….)

-Do not use slurs.

-Do not send M!A’s (Magic Asks) dumping Water on Vee or anything like that. No plucking Dandy’s petals either—You know who you are.

-Don’t spam the same Ask repeatedly… Resending it a couple times if Tumblr is bugging is fine, but it gets obvious when that isn’t the case.

-Smaller thing but like, don’t go calling Coal, Bobette or Dandy “Fat” or whatever.

-DON’T add to the AU Lore, either through roleplay or otherwise. Or making a character bring up nonexistent larger plot-points and acting like it’s part of THIS AU specifically—because then you’re kind of painting on another persons canvas. (Just something I felt I should note.) <This does not go for a character being unaware they’re not in the world they think they are.

Important Notea:

Because it is the Toons running the blog in-lore, they will not answer any Asks that go against these Rules.

Please don’t take it personally if I don’t respond to an ask… Either they would delete it, I had no clue how to respond, or it went against a Rule.

If character deletes an Ask, it will be in the SW!Lost Asks tag. With the reason for its deletion/whether the Toon or character just didn’t like it.

YOU CAN:

-Swear in Asks; Just *preferably* do not swear at me or the Toons…

-Send characters objects, basically anything (that isn’t against the Ask Rules)… But if you were to say, give them a full on Rifle, they might get in trouble for having that…

-Roleplay as a Toon or OC! Just don’t pretend it’s specifically from the same AU. I have some specific ideas for each of the Toons… By default. Roleplaying as an in-game Toon will likely make them assume they are a “Cousin” (Clone) of a Toon.

-Be a little bit mean to *some* Toons. Mostly Toons that are a little mean anyway—Glisten, Vee, or Sprout—Just don’t take it too far! (You could send a goofy threat to make Sprouts family bald, for example… But going into great gory-detail on a death threat is an obvious no.)

-^You can bully them a bit, but do not harass them. So don’t go sending “I grab Cosmoc and smooch him 2 million times :333” or ANYTHING like that.

-Interrogating them with deeper questions is fine. Just pay attention to see if they’re getting too annoyed—because then they might start ignoring those Asks otherwise… (Not that I’m mad at you, but the Toons might be, and I try to stay in character with what they’d do…)

…

! MAGIC ANON LIMITS !

-MAGIC ANONS Can effect up to 5 Asks. But only 2 if it’s a more drastic change.

-Giving a Character an Object can be infinite: if the Object itself isn’t physically magical in some way. (Sending Cookies or Flowers can stay with characters, but a Magic Wand would only last a few Asks.)

-You cannot change a Character Physically. No changing a Toons Object, or turn them into an Object. (Sadly no turning them into jellybeans either)

-Don’t go stealing control of an SW!Character. You can’t just; “The Shelly from this AU kidnaps Cosmo, stabs him, and ties him to a heavy object to drop into the Ocean!”

-IF you want to have a longer-lasting effect.. you cooould try and manipulate convince a Toon to do something that will be of interest to them. Or bribe them, if you will… :)

Alright so this entire situation is absolutely insane, but someone apparently accused me of being an anti for some reason, so I wanted to make a post with the full explanation of what's going on so that hopefully if anyone else sees this account, they know what's happening and I hopefully won't continue to get blacklisted from the Batman fandom for absolutely no reason.

Basically, I'm new to the Batman fandom as a whole, and a few months ago I decided to make a Twitter account that was specific to JayTim in hopes of meeting new friends who were also fans of the ship. The fandom friend group I'd been part of previously wasn't great for my mental health for a few reasons, so I was really really excited to join a fandom entirely disconnected from that group and hopefully make new friends. I know how antis can be, so I also made a new account disconnected from my main to protect my anonymity.

I forget where exactly I saw it, but I think it was in the replies of a tweet one of my mutuals replied to? I'm really not sure, but someone mentioned having a proship RP partner search blog on Tumblr. Immediately, I was ecstatic. I've been struggling finding people to rp with in general, and even moreso for JayTim, so I was really excited to meet new people and find new people to write with on this blog. It had been years since I'd been on Tumblr, but I made this account as a new sideblog specifically for the purpose of posting an ad to that account (I later learned you can't send in asks as a sideblog, but oh well)

I DMed the mod of the blog on Twitter to make sure my ad followed the rules and also let them know that my blog was new because it had been made new for the sake of posting an rp ad. I submitted the ad, they posted it on the blog, everything was great. While I waited for replies, I scrolled through old posts on that Tumblr account to see if anyone else was looking for a JayTim rp, and I found in the comments of one post the link to a Discord server specifically for BatFam rps. Immediately again, I was super excited. I'd been looking for a Discord server to become an active member of, and this seemed absolutely perfect, I was really incredibly excited about the idea of being part of a community. I know I'm beating the dead horse about how excited I was but I really want to emphasize that all of this was happening to someone who was utterly ecstatic about the idea of making new friends in a new fandom.

I joined that server, posted an rp ad there as well, and I got a message from the mod of that server about the ad suggesting we start a JayTim rp together. The conversation goes like any other with a potential new rp partner. Discussions of writing styles and preferences, I shared a sample from another JayTim rp I was doing at the time, things were looking great.

So then I decided to check Tumblr again to see if there were any updates about the post. To my surprise, I see that my post has been taken down, I have been blocked by the RP blog, and I have been blocked by the blog mod that I messaged on Twitter initially. There was no message about what I might've done wrong, no warning, nothing. No context, no conversation, just Blocked with no explanation. So of course I'm incredibly stressed out and confused because I have absolutely no idea what I did. It's been a while since I'd been on Tumblr so maybe there was an etiquette rule I broke? I know I'll block people who post a lot of a ship I don't like just because I don't want to see it on my TL, but my ad was specifically for JayTim in the first place and the mod approved it, and this wasn't a personal Tumblr this was a place to find RP partners.

While this is happening, the Discord mod is still chatting with me about ideas for our rp, and I apologized for seeming a little off suddenly and explained what happened and that I was really stressed and confused about it. The discord mod said they understood, and that it did seem odd. A few minutes later, they mentioned having to go to bed.

A while after that, I check Discord again to see that I've also been banned from that Discord server and blocked by that mod. Again, no explanation, no context, nothing. At this point I wanted to cry because I didn't understand what I was doing wrong or what was happening. I thought since I'd been talking to that mod about how confused I was about the initial situation, maybe they'd contact me to give me context, but no there was nothing. No way to contact anyone, no closure, just getting blacklisted from the new fandom I was so excited to join with no explanation.

At least a month went by. Finally I want to try and find more JayTim rp partners on Tumblr again so I look for a tag, and to my surprise I see that initial Tumblr rp partner search blog has unblocked me. So, I send them a message explaining what had happened and expressing my confusion. I'm just going to copy paste exactly what was said:

Me: Hi there, I'm admittedly a little confused. I posted an rp ad ages ago on this account, the mod proofread it on Twitter and I sent it in and it was posted. A few hours later, the post was taken down and I was blocked on this account, and the mod who I was in contact with also blocked me on Twitter. There was no explanation and I'm really not sure what I did or why I was blocked? But I was just looking for an rp and noticed I'm now unblocked on this account. The mod on Twitter still has me blocked and I'm still very confused. I'm not sure what I did wrong or why I was blocked in the first place, or why I'm no longer blocked now. Is there maybe a different mod in charge of this account?

Blog: Oh heck i guess it mustve gotten lost in the mix

(Maybe they didn't read my initial message? I thought maybe they were going to add more information, but no they just left the message at that for 2 hours)

Me: The ad? No it was posted. It was up for hours, and then I was blocked by this account and the mod's twitter account with no explanation or context to why

Blog: Ohh yeah no it was reported that you are an anti and this acct is not for you so we took your stuff down

I was then, again, blocked, and at this point I'm even more confused and baffled than before. I'm not, nor have I ever been, an anti. I have literally no idea why they might've thought I was one, and I couldn't ask because they blocked me. At this point this is driving me nuts and I've been stressed out and frustrated about this for months. No one is listening or talking to me, I'm just being ignored and I don't understand why, so at this point I'm not going to let it go.

I logged onto my old Tumblr account from years ago and messaged the blog again saying that I'm not an anti and don't understand what happened or why they think I was, I'm trying to be understanding and non-abrasive but I don't understand how this even happens and why the mods would handle a situation like this. I also went onto an alt and contacted the mod on Twitter. At this point Elon Musk has removed the ability to DM someone you are not mutuals with, so this entire Twitter conversation is happening in the public replies of one of her tweets. (The Tumblr account never responded to my message)

Me: Hi, I know this may be inappropriate to message you on an alt, but you didn't give me a chance to explain before you blocked me again. I'm not an anti. I don't understand why you think I am or who told you I was, or what I possibly did to indicate to you that I was an anti.

Mod (responding immediately. This mod has consistently been replying basically immediately): Hi i have been told you have been blackmailing people and telling them that youre going to post callouts about them writing incest and underage if they dont write these things with you and that you evaded server bans on discord for the same reasons

Me: Okay, I have never done any of those things, so could you please expand on who said I did these things and what evidence they provided of that claim?

(A day goes by, no answer)

Me: I'm not sure if you're busy, if so understandable, or just not responding to me, but I'd really like to talk to someone and try and figure this out because I don't understand what was happening. Did someone say it was my account? Or was there an assumption that I'm associated with another account that did these things? I'm sorry for being so persistent about this I just was really excited about joining this fandom and really don't want to get blacklisted from it for something I didn't do and no one is talking to me about it

Mod, Immediately : I messaged the person that reported you to see if they have anything to chime in about this maybe being a case of mistaken identity. please be patient.

Me: Okay, no worries. Thank you

Me: No rush to respond to this but I forgot to mention that if it would be helpful to provide my main account and ao3 and anything else, let me know, I would just prefer to do it in DMs

Mod: I'm waiting for the other person to get back to me right now i will let you know if i need anything further from you <3

(4 days go by, nothing. So they're not asking for my word on the situation, they're not looking at the active JayTim Twitter account I've been running for months, there's absolutely nothing I can do and no one seems willing to have a conversation with me about what happens, it's all just waiting on this mystery person to add context.)

Me: Hi there! It's been 4 days so I was just wondering if there were any updates on the situation?

Mod: I've gotten into contact with the person who reported you and they said they would look for the screenshots when they had a chance

(So, they didn't already have screenshots? From what I can tell, someone told them I was an anti, and the mods felt no need to actually verify that? And just blocked me and blacklisted me from everything, no questions asked, even though I have nothing to do with whatever I'm being accused of and no idea what's happening.

A week goes by. Nothing)

Me: Hi there, it's been a week, has that person managed to send you the screenshots yet?

The mod hasn't responded to that message, it's been two days. I'm trying to be patient and understanding but I'm so sick and tired of being ostracized, blocked, banned, and ignored for something I had nothing to do with. The information I've copy pasted in this message is all I've been told, I don't know anything else about whats going on or how this happened. I'm just so frustrated because I was so happy about the idea of joining a new fandom and making new friends, and now suddenly I'm seemingly blacklisted from the entire BatFam rp community for reasons no one is even actually telling me.

The most I can tell so far is just that someone said "hey that person is an anti" and despite having no evidence to back that up, the mods just decided to kick me out of everything and tell everyone I'm an anti?

I'm not sure that anyone is actually going to read this, both because I have one follower and also because this is a long post, I guess I partly just wanted to type it all out, and also just wanted to tell my side of the story because it stresses me out so much every time I think about it. And I was talking to that Discord mod about how stressed and confused I was when I got blocked the first time but still, no one thought to take a second look? No one thought to give any amount of context or even talk to me?

If anyone knows anyone who could help me with this situation, that would be greatly appreciated. Also if anyone knows a good place to find more JayTim fans or people to RP with, I could really use some new friends right about now. This is a side blog so I can't follow back or comment, but feel free to send me a DM or an ask!

Edit: there is an update to this post. It is.... a lot. Here's the link

[dutyworn]

@bloodsalted said: What would prevent you from following someone? Are aesthetics important to you? If they are, why? What current rp trend do you hate? How do you explain rp to someone in the real world?

the be honest meme    /    ACCEPTING ↷

What would prevent you from following someone? :: Among other things, having individual names/urls on a DNI list. I really don't care if someone is genuinely trying to warn others about someone else in the rpc and has no malicious intentions at all; I don't fuck with that. I consider it inherently a form of harrassment and it honestly reminds me of middle school bullying culture. If someone disagrees they are free to disagree, I don't really care, it's a personal opinion/boundary that I am very strict on; I've cut ties with rp partners I was friendly if not friends with, over them adding that sort of a DNI list, like people I was talking casually about non-rp related things on discord with, so it's not something I am willing to let slide even if we had rapport. I don't feel safe with that type of behaviour even if the DNI was "warranted".

Are aesthetics important to you? If they are, why? :: Other people's? Not at all - I don't care if you use icons, if you format your text at all, what your blog theme looks like, etc. It doesn't affect my enjoyment of our writing together.

My own? Yes, very important. Icons and formatting for my own replies are a need, not a want - I have a lot of executive dysfunction. Creative writing is not easy. My formatting system gives me a canvas; I've made the analogy before, of how writing without formatting feels like I'm trying to paint on tissue paper, whereas writing with formatting feels like painting on a proper canvas. One would be easier than the other, yes? It's the same feeling of how I have a fun, easy time writing a drabble to be precisely 100 words long, but a difficult and not enjoyable time trying to write a drabble to be somewhat around 100 words long. There's a set canvas on the former; there's the technical work (adding formatting, trimming to 100 words, you name it) that's easy to make the creative work that's not easy, more manageable.

I don't care about my aesthetics in the sense that I don't give a fuck if other people think my blog looks pretty or "professional" or whatever, though. I care that I enjoy my own blog. And I enjoy it more with my aesthetics.

What current rp trend do you hate? :: Hate is too strong of a word for anything like this (mostly I'm like "eh I don't vibe with that"), and I don't know if it counts as trends, but I don't like... sideblogs for different things for the same character? Like, having a sideblog for mature content, or for aesthetics posting. I understand why people do both, like when people feel self-conscious putting smut on their main blog, or if they feel like they are reblogging too many gifsets or whatnot and are insecure about it. So it's not that I dislike people doing it, I just hope it doesn't become something that's expected in the rpc.

I don't know what the etiquette is with sideblogs for mature content. Am I supposed to follow if I'm open to writing sex scenes with your muse or only follow if we start writing them? I feel like I'm being a creep if I just follow those sideblogs without already shipping our muses sexually, but then I have no idea if me not following them makes it look like I wouldn't?

I support people running their blogs the way they enjoy. But I am never going to do that with my blogs; I feel like there's enough internalised shame about writing sex scenes and "spamming the dash" as it is, so I'm just going to sit here and write freaky kink on my main blogs and reblog all the gifsets I want and actively reject any feelings of shame I might have about it because fuuuuuck that. I don't think people having sideblogs means they are shaming others at all, but if it became expected it certainly would contribute to people feeling more ashamed and less liberated in how to run their own blogs.

How do you explain rp to someone in the real world? :: Internet is the real world as much as other aspects of the world are but like. How I explain roleplay to someone who doesn't roleplay? Oh boy. I talk about collaborative creative writing and talk about how you write from your character's point of view and the person you write with from theirs. If people are familiar with TTRPGs I can compare to that as well.

I did talk about roleplay to my psychiatric nurse last year and enjoyed shocking her by telling her one of the characters I wrote as was Hannibal Lecter, because, you know, sometimes it's fun to dishevel your psychiatric care professionals a little bit.

[sunhated-a]

Hello! Welcome, this is a blog I've created to curate inspiration for Muzan Kibutsuji. But I am open to interactions, so I may dip my hands in some writing for him as well.

My portrayal of Muzan is quite canon divergent and based on equal parts headcanon and canon material.

I'm very laidback on this blog, so expect minimal formatting and icons, sporadic activity, and varying post length.

Guidelines under read more.

Basic RP etiquette applies. Do not control my character without my permission, in character =/= out of character. Muzan is a very abrasive muse. So please don't take his rudeness personally. If you are a personal blog, you may follow me and send in asks or like headcanon posts. I have anon enabled if you'd prefer to use that. However, I would ask that you do not reblog my headcanons or threads. Please understand you are a guest in this space and be mindful with how you engage. Other than that, you're welcome on my blog! I hope you enjoy!

Fandom is a space meant for everyone to enjoy. Period. Bigotry of any kind, racism, sexism, transphobia, etc. Will not be tolerated. If I catch you engaging in any of these behaviors it's an immediate block from me.

Do not involve me in interpersonal drama. Roleplay is a fun hobby to me, and drama exhausts me. And to be frank, I am too old to care to keep up with who did what and why. I don't engage in dogpiles. I am just here to write my characters and stay in my lane. However, if any issues were to arise, I'd prefer to talk it out like adults. But if you'd no longer wish to interact for whatever reason, feel free to hard block me. There will be no hard feelings.

I am neither pro-ship nor an anti, nor do I care what camp you fall into. I'm just here to do my own thing. I will be exploring darker content on this blog: Including manipulation, abusive relationships, cannibalism, obsession, twisted dynamics among other things that come with the muse. I do have hard limits, however. I will not interact with you if you engage in noncon, underage smut, or adult / underage muse ships. All triggers will be tagged accordingly. And as always, if you need something tagged do not hesitate to let me know!

I run my blogs primarily on an interest basis, I also manage a household and I work. So my activity will fluctuate and be sporadic. I manage chronic depression and unmedicated ADHD both so I will probably be all over the place. IRL > Anything else. I will always prioritize the comfort level of a mun over writing and roleplay.

This is a canon divergent blog, as it says on the tin. There are a lot of aspects about Muzan and his story that I interpret differently, or omit entirely. If something about my portrayal isn't to your liking, I completely understand. You are entitled to your opinion, but please don't try to argue with me. Feel free to unfollow or block.

OCS. I love them. Feel free to send them my way, just be sure to have a page where I can read about them and we're golden. I am also duplicate friendly.

I am not open to shipping on this blog. I, however, will make exceptions if we have interacted OOC or if we're on the same page on what we want out of a ship. I'm uncomfortable shipping with people I don't interact with, this is purely for my own comfort and because of personal experiences in the past. But, if we've interacted and you think our characters would mesh well and have a good dynamic, by all means feel free to bring it up. I will not be posting smut or sexual content on this blog. So anything veering into that territory, I will ask to move to discord or another platform.

[ask-squip-hq]

(( Thought I'd put together a little something to give some reference points to new folk around here! There's a full transcription below the readmore; now get out there, be respectful, and have some fun. Cheers! ))

Slide 1: RP TIPS CRASH COURSE!

Hello all! Given the recent spike of fresh activity around here, I wanted to give a few pointers & help make sure that everybody's on the same page.

Slide 2: First and foremost:

A concrete distinction between Mun (the person writing) and Muse (the character being written) is very important!

Your audience and writing partners are gonna wanna know whether a response is in character or not--if it isn't very clear, things can get a little confusing to read.

For example, I keep in-universe HRTech content contained within its own blog separate from my main--this helps keep things organized as well! And when I want to break the fourth wall, I refer to myself as the crew.

Slide 3: When writing with Strangers:

Always ask permission!

It's common practice to plan things behind the scenes with your friends--I do it all the time! But when it comes to other people you might be interacting with, you're going to want to make sure they're on the same page too.

As a general rule of thumb: if you want to involve someone else's character in a plot point or scene of your own, that character's writer needs to be a part of the planning process!

Slide 4: When writing with Strangers:

Having an askblog gives a writer the ability to easily choose what they want to respond to--no one's obligated to respond to anything after all, whether it meshes with their plans, or maybe they just don't feel like it. Who knows! It's just for fun at the end of the day.

While an in-character response doesn't necessarily count as permission from the writer to involve them in other narratives, you can always make an offer out-of-character; or send more asks!

Slide 5: Give and Take:

If you spot a blog doing something you think is cool or interesting, you can help them out by sending an ask about it! Don't worry, it doesn't need to be plot-driven, or even in character--you can ask what's going on, give a suggestion to a character, or even just prompt them for their favorite foods.

It's encouraging and exciting for writers; it shows them that people are interested in the stories they want to tell! When everybody is engaging with each other, everything becomes a lot more fun.

Slide 6: Ask etiquette:

Stuff you'll want to avoid:

-Sending unsolicited sensitive content; stuff like NSFW, gore, invasive questions, personal details, and venting should be avoided at all costs--an rp blog is not the place!

-Spamming; don't send messages to somebody over and over again, especially if they aren't responding to the first one!

-Introducing unrelated or sudden plot elements; collaboration is fun, but works best with planning--you wouldn't want to overshadow someone's story with yours on their own blog!

Intro post/Pinned

First and Foremost: THIS IS NOT AN RP BLOG. This is a fictionkin blog! Please be aware of that and be respectful. I'm happy to be kind to those with good-faith questions (even the "dumb" ones) but please be kind in turn.

This is a sideblog of mine that I made to talk about my fictionkinity alone, so I'll only be going by the name Alhaitham on this blog. I use he/it pronouns, and I'm 21. I'm auDHD, so please be aware of that. I don't plan to mention my other kintype here much, but my only other kintype is an oceanic dragon. (if you want my other blog bc you're a similar kintype or smth, feel free to DM me. I'm not keeping this blog hidden perse, just separate.)

I am Alhaitham. I am also a Seelie. These kintypes are not separated, to be clear; in my canon I was a Seelie descendant, which in my case made a full-blooded Seelie. I'm very far from Genshin's canon, in many ways. I plan to use this blog as a place to talk about my experiences as a fictionkin, from the beginning. I've only known this part of myself for a few days as of making this blog. Questions aren't just accepted but encouraged, send me as many asks as you'd like! This blog is for journaling about my fictionkinity and discovering this part of myself more, so I'm open to being asked things I may not even know yet about my identity. (Or, hell, whatever else you'd want to ask about.) "Doubles" (other Alhaitham fictionkin) can absolutely interact and I'd be happy to chat as long as you're kind.

My interests include: Writing, Genshin Impact (duh,) Sky COTL, reading, horror as a genre but I'm so picky about it that it's nearly impossible to navigate, witchcraft, arts and crafts type shit of various flavors (this does not mean I'm good at it,) Minecraft. Definitely lots of others that I'm forgetting.

DNI: I know DNI's are pointless, but this is more to let you know my stance on things than anything. Basic criteria, just have basic kindness and respect and I don't have a problem. The only thing I think outside of that is that antishippers/anti's, while I don't hate them, would probably hate me since I think that I'm technically proship. That doesn't mean don't interact, just don't harass me. Honestly I'm still not clear on what the whole debate is I've just been told that I count as proship because of my views on fandom etiquette. Be nice, I block freely, that's all.

I intend for this blog to be safe for everyone who isn't hurting someone. Let me know if something I post needs tagged!

RULES

CONTENT

- NSFW will be likely on this blog but not a constant. If you’re uncomfortable with murder, gore, blood, abuse, etc. (or any mentioning of these things); Then this blog isn’t for you. Sexual things may occur from time to time but it’ll be rare and tagged accordingly!

- Most art I use on here, whether for icons or other means are not mine, nor do I take credit for them. All things that I draw specifically will be tagged as such! Artist credits are as follows: koda_mint, shandzii, sanchesky, fluffpillow, deceptiveshadow, (more tba + links)

- I’m personally triggered by very little, but if I follow you back, if you could tag the following things for me I’d greatly appreciate it. Otherwise tumblr savior won’t work: emetophobia / trypophobia

- Again this blog is going to be full of adult themes and scenarios at times because despite these two being silly daycare attendants, this is still FNAF after all! I’m fine with role-playing serious topics, HOWEVER! Please message me or plot with me beforehand when it comes to heavy topics like this so we’re both on the same page.

- I WILL NOT post about fandom discourse, nor will I engage in call-out posts, vague-blogging, or anything else related. This is a fun and drama-free environment for both me and my friends. If you start drama, harass people, bully, or send hate of any kind towards me or my mutuals, you will be blocked and reported. As Sun would say, if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all!

RP ETIQUETTE

- Personal blogs that follow me will usually be blocked. If you have a sideblog that’s your roleplay blog, message me and let me know, or have it stated somewhere on your blog so that I’m aware! I’ve tried in the past to let personals chill here but after weird inbox messages and nonstop spam in different areas, I no longer tolerate them.

- I don’t usually care about reblog karma. I will always personally reblog memes and prompts from their sources, and I won’t get angry if you reblog from me and don’t send something in every single time. However, I WILL get upset if you start to use me as your CONSTANT meme or prompt resource. This means, if you constantly reblog memes from me and never send even ONE back in to me. I will probably say something to you! This is a roleplay blog, and it gets discouraging after a while if you take everything I reblog and never bother to try and send anything back.

- I will ALWAYS read your rules page before I follow you. I will also do my best to make sure I send in passwords or any other form of verification. HOWEVER, I follow A LOT of people so if I ever break a rule of yours, I can assure it was probably an accident. Just message me privately and let me know and I’ll fix it, no problem!

- I have anxiety and my memory and attention span can be shitty and sporadic at times. So it’s totally okay to remind me of replies I owe if it’s been a week or so since I’ve replied! HOWEVER, do NOT harass me or constantly pester me to reply to a thread. Otherwise I’ll drop it completely, and may even soft block you if you become hateful about it.

- Going off what I said above, my memory is bad at times. I also follow a TON of people. I WILL forget things. I may forget about replying to threads, I might also forget about replying to ooc messages, and even certain rules or headcanons about your blog or characters. I can PROMISE you this is not intentional though, and I encourage you to nudge or remind me of things if I DO forget!! Just again, do not be rude about it or hateful. I promise I’m doing my best.

- Sometimes I may get overwhelmed by the amount of threads I’ve accumulated. Or I may not know how to continue a thread if it hits a dead end and I can’t think of anything to keep it going. If this happens I’ll most likely drop a few that I may not be feeling atm. If this happens I will do my best to message you first if I decide to drop a thread of ours!

INTERACTING

- I will ONLY interact with MUTUALS. This means if you follow me and I am not following you back, then I’m probably not interested. My inbox is always open though to anyone even if we aren’t mutuals!

- I will interact with ocs and canon characters from different fandoms. But again we have to be MUTUALS, and I do ask that you have an about page or post somewhere that I can get to, just in case I’m not familiar with your character.

- I WILL NOT interact with personal blogs, or anyone under the age of 18!! This is for my own comfort and even safety. You don’t have to put your age on your blog, but if I ever find out you’re underage, you will be blocked!

- This blog will be multi-ship and multi-verse! I don’t do mains or exclusives, though I may have certain people I respond to quicker just based on the fact we’re close friends or mutuals.

- In addition to running this blog, I run another RP blog, and I also have a job irl. So my activity on this blog, as well as in general, will be sporadic.

11. What’s your biggest pet peeve when it comes to RPing?

This is going to make me sound like a picky jerk, but there are a lot of behaviours in the rpc that piss me off these days. It's kinda hard to choose one, and I could write a novel about it, but...well, I'm tired and I can't English that much, so I'll pick one thing. Namely how self-centred and uncaring the RPC has become.

Ofc, we're here all here to have fun and handle our blogs. Get interactions for them, share our ideas, have fun for ourselves, and so on. However, at times I feel like this has become an extreme focus to some RPers, to the point that they forget that RP is supposed to be a two-way street, and not just something you get amusement from. It's not just about you, it's about your RP partners too.

More often than not I see people disregarding the most basic etiquette, as liking HCs posts or sending in OOC memes just to reblog the same fucking meme 30 seconds later. And don't get me started on people, on one hand, forcing their HCs on others or, on the other, completely disregarding their partners' HCs / canon divergence /etc.

I honestly find this behaviour incredibly disheartening. It kills my motivation to reach out to people, to be curious about their ideas and muse, and in general to show interest, when I know that they won't give a damn about my ideas. Not even to make sure we can mesh them together so that they work for us both. I can't find the will to engage with them because I'm too old for that shit, plain and simple.

Aaand, I'm stopping here, because I've already said too much. Just, seriously? Have a look outside your lawn from time to time, folks. It's not that hard.

12. What’s your biggest pet peeve when it comes to the fandom you RP in?

Since it wasn't specified, I'm assuming that this ask was implicitly about Hazbin Hotel / Helluva Boss.

Well, very unpopular opinion, it really gets on my nerves how most of the fandom states, first and foremost, how they are against the creator. It seems to have become a must in the fandom and it makes me extremely uncomfortable? I'll admit that I don't know all the details of why people seem to have Viv so much, but from what I gathered is all about fictional stuff?? Which confuses the shit out of me because...it's not real.

Yeah, I'm one of the people who doesn't think that fiction equals / influences reality. It's stated in my rules, I don't tolerate people bullying other over fictional stuff. If you're following me, you should know that. Not to mention that I've been clearly open about this, several times, so...

I like her stuff, just as I respect that some people don't. It's all the hate that's thrown out without a proper, actually relevant reason that I don't get. I mean, sure, you do you, and if that's what makes you comfortable, I won't argue with that. But it means that you must respect that I don't agree with it in return.

[melodic-haze]

Just out of curiosity, I'm a new comer and saw your "about the blog" post and it said you don't write for males, but I came from your Himeko x amab post. Was that just the occasional one off or has your rules changed? I'm asking as I don't want to do anything that makes you uncomfortable if I decide to request stuff in the future. Also apologize if this was too formal and wordy, I actually never used tumblr until recently so I'm still confused on many things such as etiquette. Also I hope your therapist situations go well and more so will your gacha pulls be blessed.

FIRST OF ALL DON'T APOLOGISE HAHAHA I've only been here since like April or May and I used to have some other Tumblr acc way back when but I'm. Still very confused a lot of the time I fear. AND THANK YOU FOR BOTH WISHES 💪💪 I'll roll today and I'm planning to call them up tomorrow

As for the meat of the matter (what a silly thing to say), there Might be a bit of confusion here which like. Fair enough I got a bit confused myself at first and I'm the one who made this fucking blog 😭 but to put it simply and VERY possibly cancel-worthy, I don't write for male-identifying people

I WOULD LIKE TO CLEAR UP THOUGH FIRST THAT I DO NOT HATE MEN PLEASE 😭😭😭 all of this sounds so very riskily worded idk how else to say it I'm so sorry :(

Long explanation utc but tldr: I just don't feel comfortable for my own reasons (such as my writing being self-indulgent), I differentiate sex from gender so afab and amab are different from fem, male and gender neutral, the Himeko ask wasn't a one-off but more of a compromise, and THANK YOU FOR DECIDING TO ASK AND CARE FOR MY COMFORT :(((( ily new anon I HOPE I DON'T SCARE YOU OFF BC OF THIS OMG 😭😭😭😭😭

Ok now if you don't mind my long-winded explanation, I use the terms amab or afab as a form of distinction between genitals in my smutposting bc I'm fine with such a thing, it's just writing for the male perspective that....bothers me? No that's not quite right, I do Discord rp and have played as men before, I think it's just more the fact that I write not just for other people but for myself too? If you read the dialogue for my demos and stuff, you'd probs be able to tell that this is all VERY self-indulgent—the reader's responses aren't really as neutral as I want them to be, leaning towards actions and phrases that I would use rather than cater to the general 'neutral' audience

Maybe it makes no difference in the end, bc everyone's their own individual and beyond the whole stereotype thing and the gymbro testosterone-esque macha-alpha bs you see sometimes, there aren't?? And really shouldn't be much of a link between genders and personal thoughts ig, if you catch my meaning. But I just Don't Feel Right writing ig. I don't think it helps that I've had a bad experience with a few men in my life, which while it doesn't define my view of the gender bc what the fuck man, it does define my comfort levels in writing

The reason why I wrote the Himeko ask with an amab reader was bc the og ask was with a MALE reader, which I've explained to you just now about. I could happily, EASILY do gn reader who was born male/has male endowments, but the mind is a whole different thing so I came to some kinda compromise instead bc I REALLY really did wanna write the request itself. At the end of the day, it all falls to semantics I suppose, but a gyal can't be blamed for being kinda specific ab stuff, right? 🫠🫠 Yeah no this wasn't a one-off, nor have the rules changed—if you look through my page, you can see Multiple Works of me writing a gn reader with an implied dick/strap alternative for people with fem genitalia haha

I DO appreciate you for asking beforehand though! Questions like these make me happy bc it shows yall care rather than just. Getting into it and jumping the gun I suppose!!! Sometimes my stomach just twists when I get a req for the male identity and it's a whole thing :(

[moonlight-eternal]

OOC

Whoever is sending that "man who speaks in hands" spam ask, stop it. You've sent me this shit three times now across two blogs and I will not be answering it.

Because the last time someone made the mistake of answering your bait, you decided it was appropriate to accuse my friend of murder. That's way out of line and just bad RP etiquette.

Besides, this is an Undertale thing, right? Why would you think either Gwyndolin or Fluttershy would know what that is? Even OOC I only played through the first 90% once and only once and I didn't really enjoy it. According to my friend who knows Undertale a lot better, though, you're very mistaken about your own bait here and are referencing speculation/fanon about a character who never actually appears in game.

In conclusion, fuck off. And don't do this to any other blogs either.

Independent. Highly Selective. Multiship/Multiverse. Private Roleplay blog for Von Lycaon from Zenless Zone Zero. This blog will run off of both canon and a lot of headcanons. All headcanons are shared with SHANELLE, LILY, CRESS, THE CURATOR, and SHAE. Anything of mine you see posted by them, WAS NOT STOLEN. They have explicit permission to use anything I make whether it be GRAPHICS, HEADCANONS, or ANYTHING ELSE that falls under such matters. If you see @rosedreamdesigns that is Shan and I's graphic design blog.

Blog && Carrd still under construction! Until it’s finished construction, here is a easy rules post for you:

I am private. I may follow, I may not. no offense to anyone.

Don’t try to push ships on me.

I don't have the best vision, so I would ask that if you use icons smaller than 70x70 to refrain from using them in replies with me. It strains my eyes to try to see them.

Don’t think whatever my muse says to yours is how I feel. muse =/= mun.

Crossover fandoms are acceptable so long as I know the fandom.

I am of age. Smut may happen on this blog, as well as themes of gore, rape mention, abuse, and other triggering things. All such things will be TAGGED and put under READ MORE for viewer discretion. If you clicked on something while knowing it was tagged for such, this is your own doing and not my problem.

OCs are accepted so long as they have an about page and are fleshed out. I’m extremely picky over them so don’t feel offended if I don’t follow you.

I’m extremely busy, I will reply when I can. Reminders are welcomed, hounding is not.

m!as are not allowed.

No godmoding. if you need to have my muse do an action in your reply, IM me first to see if it checks out. Other than that, standard RP etiquette applies.

I have given my Von Lycaon the first name Arian. Your muse will most likely not know this as he only gives this name to those closest to him.
