#I am a part of an open group so I can rp with those that remained following me.

Not ask-blog related, then, but how would you get into role-playing?

honestly, just find an RP space/community (that's accepting new members) and hop right in. If you're nervous about your writing not being up to snuff, RP spaces are in my opinion the way to build up your writing. We all start somewhere and RP spaces are a great place to start and often full of beginners. You will pick it up and improve very quickly, have no fear. The general rules to be aware of in any RP space is basically just be nice and don't powerplay (which means don't do stuff like start controlling other people's characters, or deciding things for other people's characters without their permission, don't make everything in the RP about only your character, etc etc. Generally just treat everybody else and their characters with general courtesy). Also if everybody else in a space is doing only script or only paragraph format rp, try to match that. And try to make sure your writing is legible as a general courtesy cause otherwise people will have a hard time joining you in RP even if they want to - so avoid letter replacement/typing quirks (unless it's specific to the RP - see: Homestuck, though even with HS rp there is sometimes a site toggle to turn typing quirks off or similar) and do a quick scan to make sure your posts aren't super full of typos or etc.

more advice below the cut cause whoops this got long:

The finding the space is really the hardest part - RP-designated spaces are becoming more difficult to find since forum boards have started disappearing (though they have also started making a resurgence!). My old forum stomping grounds have since become an adoptables pet game site - though I do know a lot of online pet game sites have very active forum communities that usually had plenty of rp. I know for a fact Flight Rising has an active RP community. Rarely you can also find some other forms of RP-designated sites, like MSPARP used to be the big one for Homestuck and had some pan-fandom offshoots, but I don't know exactly what the status is for that stuff over there. I believe MSPARP doesn't exist anymore and I don't know anything about the rest of all that.

I used to also play some RP-dedicated multiplayer games and those can be a great option, depending on the game and your personal tastes. The main one I used to play a.) i would not recommend to people lol and b.) i'm pretty sure is very dead anyways so I don't have any exact recommendations there. I hear Roblox is a good place to find RP servers in a similar vein to that type of stuff but I never got into Roblox so I cannot confirm/deny that. You can sometimes find public Minecraft servers that have rp spaces but those are harder to find nowadays. There's a ton of discord RP communities you can join though. It's a bit more difficult to search around and get a feel for them just with how discord is but there's definitely plenty of 'em.

And I am not very in the tumblr RP community spheres (or other social media rp spheres - though i have dabbled) but to my understanding with those you either find an active group and ask if they're open to new members/if you can join, or you just jump right in to making your own blog/account/etc for it. Make some prompts/rp starters for people to potentially hop in and join you with or otherwise just kind of find you and rope you into their rp group or whatever. And of course you can always start a group with your friends.

The major things with RP is just kind of figuring what type of RP you want to be doing cause that informs everything else. Do you want to do script rp (usually formatted along the lines of [CHARACTER]: *runs around*) or paragraph/prose rp (the "[Character] ran around in circles before coming to a halt before the door." type format)? Do you want to do more of a video-game type rp where you have an avatar? Do you want to do something more like a TTRPG/D&D? Do you wanna do just straight up LARP (i can't really help you with that one much that one. you'd just have to search for local LARP groups - sometimes you can find them at your local conventions)? All those things are going to point you in different directions for what you want to do. In general, if you can find RP forums you can usually find both script and paragraph rp though paragraph rp is more common. Chatrooms and video games are more likely to lean script rp format due to chat limitations though this is not always the case. Social media rp is kind of it's whole own beast and everybody does it differently or different groups do it differently but if you want to do RP stuff primarily on your own and maybe pick up a group as you go then in-character social media can be a fun route for that. Or if you're not particularly looking for collaborative RP but want to do some interactive story stuff in a similar vein, then making an askblog might be more your style.

In general right now though, looking for RP discords is a relatively easy one or you can start your own and advertise it. Tbh if you find Warrior Cat RPers they may very likely have a designated area for non-WC rp (in the past Warriors RP sites/groups/etc ive been a part of, this has been the case in all of them). Also Warriors RP is like, everywhere. You will find it. It's like a constant of the universe or something. Actually doing a quick search i found some newer WCRPG forums and they look beautiful and yes, they do have non-Warriors rp sections. Idk much about RP communities in other fandoms but you can always count on Warriors. And as mentioned before, social media RP is an easy one.

Hopefully something in all of that helps a lil bit.

⭐ Stuff I am NOT comfortable with roleplaying

Let me preface this by stating that I do understand the separation of fiction and reality. I understand that fiction is a place where people may safely explore themes that wouldn’t be okay to do in real life and that it does not reflect who you are as a person. However, the below subjects are personal icks for me, so I’d like to avoid roleplaying them. You may roleplay them on your blog and I have no issue with seeing it on my dash. That is all fine. It’s just that I personally am not interested in roleplaying these topics with my muses (except whether otherwise noted and with extensive discussion and consent), and I appreciate your mutual respect in this matter. Thank you!

Group Roleplays

I do not feel comfortable with participating in group roleplays - this includes both discord servers and group dash events, or any other kind of group roleplay. It messes with my anxiety big time, and so for my own personal comfort, I have chosen to abstain from these kinds of situations.

This means that if you are posting anything related to these events, and it's a tagged event, I will not see your posts, including your art, drabbles, nothing. I will not see any of it because I will have the tags blocked. I promise this is nothing personal against you, the group organizer, or the event itself - it is purely to protect my own mental health, as these events can fill my dash otherwise, and I'd rather not see them.

If you have created something and you'd like to share it with me, that's fine - you are welcome to share it with me directly in DM. I'd like that. It's just that I am not comfortable with participating in the events themselves or seeing it all over my dash.

If you'd like to talk about this in private, you may do so. My DMs are open.

Smut

I am not really into rping smutty stuff. Suggestive or risque humor, implying things, flirting, mentioning it, saying it happened, asking questions about my muses’ sex lives (like in inbox ask meme games), and suchlike is all fine. I don’t mind other people rping smut and following those who do or seeing it on my dash; I am just uncomfortable rping it myself. If in any case an rp starts going in that direction, I’ll have it fade to black or skip ahead.

Excessive violence towards children

It’s okay if it’s part of a muse’s past, and in threads I am also okay with some angst and general childhood things like skinned knees and the like. But I am not comfortable rping actual threads where there is excessive harm being done towards children. Also, it should go without saying, but anything of the pedophilic nature will be absolutely, 100% not tolerated and will result in an instant block if it’s even suggested.

Abusive relationships

Enemies to lovers type relationships don't fall under this category to me - it is specifically when one partner is harming the other with no healing or remorse in sight. It’s when the party/ies are enjoying hurting one another and the other clearly isn’t enjoying it is when it becomes abuse to me and when it makes me uncomfortable. Again, you do you, I have nothing against that, we’re all good, it’s just something I’m not interested in rping myself.

Age gaps in romantic/sexual relationships…

...with THIS very specific scenario: If one of the muses in the relationship is 18-23 years of age, while the other is 30+. It is a personal ick of mine. I have nothing against other people roleplaying ships with this type of age gap and I am okay with following and being mutuals with those who do - it’s just that I am personally uncomfortable with roleplaying my muses being in a relationship with this kind of age gap. And obviously, anything involving minors is an automatic NO.

Any questions, let me know.

My muses being used as NPCs without my consent.

Basically, don’t use my muses in threads without my permission. I also don’t want my muses to be used to facilitate the growth and development of yours without being asked first, especially if it involves inflicting trauma on my muse.

PLEASE NOTE: It is a trigger of mine and therefore I will have to politely state now that I cannot tolerate intentionally disingenuous friendships or relationships of any kind, unless they are discussed with me first.

What I mean by this is your muse intentionally using my muse’s feelings against them and manipulating them because they have feelings for your muse, be they romantic feelings, friendship feelings, familial feelings, any sort of positive feelings. 

I will also not tolerate you, the Mun, using my muse’s feelings towards your muse in this way either without discussing it with me first. Bluntly put, I have had several roleplayers use my muses to develop their muses, abuse them, and then drop all interactions with me afterwards and tell me “nobody owes you anything” while leaving my muses with all the trauma their muses caused them.

This is unacceptable, abusive roleplayer behavior and I will not tolerate it. I will attempt to discuss it politely with you, but any of this “nobody owes you anything” rhetoric will result in a block from me. This is not only for the sake of my own mental health, but again, I consider this kind of behavior entitled and unacceptable in the community and I will not tolerate it.

The key is discussing this kind of dynamic with me first. That is all I ask. I may be open to it for a whole, well-rounded plot. But I do not want people thinking it is their right to traumatize or hurt my muses without my consent. Some character dynamics and plots where one is using and manipulating the other are interesting and I honestly wouldn’t mind roleplaying these - all I ask is that you ask me first, and not try to deal it under the table as I described above. That’s all there is to it.

If you have any questions about this or need further clarification, please don’t hesitate to come talk to me about it. I’d rather us talk about it to clear up any confusion than not talk about it. Thank you.

[thieves-oasis]

hello here’s a part of the project i’ve been working on for a roleplay on ESO. the story is called ‘Shatter Me’ and this was a teaser I posted for my rp group :)

Darkness.

Bitter, cold darkness.

It is all I have ever known. And it is quite possible that that will not change.

Such is the way of death.

I know not my name nor my cause of death, but what I do know is that whatever took me from the realm of flesh did so prematurely. Even if I have no recollection of my time as a mortal being, Death herself has a way to make sure that I am begrudgingly aware of it. Whether it be by blurred flashes of my former face, or a fading memory that reaches towards me only to recoil in fear of what I might do if I were to grasp it, there are moments where I know that there was once more before this. But once those moments pass, I remember nothing of my life, and only that I have been floating here in the nothing since the beginning of time. Perhaps even before the beginning of time. I cannot tell... Time is not a finite thing in the void. I used to occasionally hear voices from the outside speaking of meaningless things such as time, but their tongues have warped and distorted making it impossible for me to confirm anything they say. The voices were never clear, anyways. Whatever shell holds me in its dripping, lifeless claws had always made sure the voices were nothing if not disembodied whispers that just so happened to reverberate around me in a way that I could catch. They used to mean something to me, but I have renounced the need for meaning.

Feeling has also escaped me. I am able to understand brief instances of emotion, much in the way that one understands the contents of an encyclopedia; simple facts with no deeper meanings. I know that a distant part of me is comforted by the notion, as whenever the thought arises, the frigid nothing of the void grows slightly warmer. It is one of the ways that she acknowledges my former mortality; a nod to the feeling that once would have been considered mortal comfort. There are many echoes of emotion that float near me from time to time. I can sense them approaching, but none have ever gotten close enough to warrant a reaction from myself nor from the void. But as of late, each sensation has grown more powerful. Expanding from mere feelings to the strongest of fervors, as if my mortality, shattered and scattered, has begun pulling itself back into one.

There is one emotion that makes the void grow silent when it approaches. I cannot quite feel it on my skin the way that one can feel a hand of pity placed on a shoulder of defeat, but beyond all others, this feeling holds revolutionary ardor. Longing. A burning ache within my shattered self, a magnet that calls to other pieces of my mortality and leads them back home. Even just the concept of longing makes my shell weaken when mentioned. I can hear the voices clearly even if I cannot understand them well, I can see a dull light beyond the cracks of my prison that open and close like a pulsating wound, myself the blood just waiting to ooze out and continue… Continue… What? I know there is meaning to this. This fire that threatens to burn my entire being from the inside out… I had thought that desire had long since abandoned me, leaving the answers somewhere deep within the pitch darkness.

But it would appear that something has the means to become my guiding light.

Feel free to request other characters as well, if I can play them I will try haha

As I said before, I'm extremely partial to playing OCs so any canon character I write is liable to be at least a little out of character if not more than a little lol, but I will try my best :)

Slowly I'll likely post my HCs for each character !

[nectaric]

GET  TO  KNOW  THE  MUN.

what made you pick up the muse you have? i'll pick a few: zeus was because i was obsessed with greek mythology thanks to percy jackson and other books i had read, but specifically with hades. when i stumbled across a group rp waaay back in the day that seemed cool, i wanted to join but hades wasn't available so i went "i guess i'll give zeus a shot" and the rest was history. i added athena bc i watched age of ultron for the first time, saw lizzie olsen and went "THAT'S ATHENA!!" i added demeter bc there were no active dem's at the time and i missed her :(

is there anything you don't like to write? there is very little i won't write, i think, under the right circumstances. i find super mundane stuff boring after a little while, but that doesn't mean i don't like it period. i guess i don't like writing things where my muses feel like punching bags *coughszeuscoughs* but i mean otherwise, i'm game for most things!

is there anything you really enjoy writing? FAMILY DYNAMICS are like. my number one. i love dads getting to bond with their kids. i love sibling shenanigans. i love family taking care of each other, i love family arguing, i love family opening up about their pasts and painful experiences. i. love. family dynamics so much, FOUND or otherwise! i'm also a fan of intense angst situations, too.

how do you come up with your headcanons? pure vibes, man. once i really get a feel for a character as i write them, the headcanons kinda just write themselves. some of my more in depth ones come from a lot of thought and speculation, usually done by talking to myself in my room lol, but i really just... imagine them up. sometimes it comes from talking with others, but that's slightly rarer.

do you write in silence or listen to music? usually without music, unless i actually have a space to myself and can throw on some instrumental stuff. but yeah, its usually just with the ambient sounds and chatter of my house.

do you plan your replies or wing them? sometimes i plan them when i first read them because i have a good idea, but for the most part, i wing it when i get to them.

do you enjoy shipping? for the most part, yeah. i can sometimes find shipping a little... repetitive. so i really do need a strong connection between muses and some exciting stuff to throw in to keep it interesting. i much prefer platonic / familial ships, but i do love a good romantic one, too!

what's your alias / name? renee! which is just my middle name but its a vibe, i like it better than my real name.

zodiac sign? aquarius babyyyyy!

birthday? it was back in feb

favorite color? i am such a sucker for green rn, in all shades, but i also really like baby blue n yellow.

favorite song? i think rn its superstar by lilyisthatyou

last movie you watched? MOVIE? i think it was barbie actually

last show you watched? sword art online kdjfhnd

last song you listened to? life itself by glass animals

favorite food? oh my GODDDDD okay listen up. my favourite food ever is a very specific taco from a tiny hole in the wall shop in san jose iturbide, mexico. its a chorizo taco con cebollas and some salsa verde and i DREAM OF THOSE TACOS. i ate those like four times a week for four months. they're incredible.

favorite season? i'm an autumn girlie at my heart, but canada rarely lets me have a NICE autumn :((

do you have a tumblr best friend? @aetheryic is my literal bestie of like 11 years or something and was the one who ran the group rp where i discovered my love of zeus so :///

tagging: all of you!

[maliro-t]

nat 20, crit fail, prep and tpk!

nat 20: What's the most memorable RP scene you've been a part of?

I know this is technically a question for me as a player but as a DM, there was an exchange with one of my players (in blue) as this little kid NPC (in red) after they'd saved him from a pretty horrible massacre that just went:

"Have you seen people die?"

"Yeah."

"Did you like them too?"

"Yeah. But there's nothing I could do for them. And they're happier where they are now."

"I wish you could be happy too."

"Yeah."

Which just got me real in my feelings about Mr. Mumford and made me real proud of his player :)

crit fail: Have you ever had a character death? What happened?

I personally have not! I think that's in part because the longest campaigns I've been in as a player were only over about 7 or eight months, so I haven't had a ton of opportunity to be thrust into mortal peril. Although I guess you never know lol, especially at lower levels.

prep: How much prep work do you do? How far out do you prep?

I would say it varies session to session, which is probably normal. I've played around with completely homebrewing some shorter sessions, but there honestly isn't a place for that in my work life balance, so I've turned to running published material (namely Curse of Strahd). That takes a lot of the burden of prep off, since I more rarely am designing things from scratch-- although I do my fair share of modification, and there still is plenty of stuff that I have to figure out myself! For most games I will make sure I have the sections that I will need from the book marked out and available, and especially if looks like it's gonna be a sort of open-ended RP game, I'll write out certain guidelines for myself into my campaign notebook so it's easier for me to keep track of things (I also do this for combat, in that I'll usually write a few lines about major figures' goals, if they're relevant, and maybe their first move or two). I try not to prep much beyond what I think will fit in a session (because I frankly don't have time), but sometimes I overestimate, and will end up with notes that last me three sessions. But beyond sort of vague notions of bigger picture building blocks that are moving in the background, I try to only prep stuff I think will be immediately pertinent. And I do trust my improv skills enough where a lot of that will be vague sketching! For example, in CoS there's a festival that's upcoming in one of the major cities, but the book has truly no information about what the festival itself entails beyond sort of a morbid procession, so I went into that game with an opening scene, a vague thought about ring toss, and a vague thought about local card sharks, and just kind of played it by ear from there. And it was one of our most fun games! I do prep a LOT for combat though-- we play on roll20 so I'm cobbling together maps (which usually will take an hour or so depending) and will often times write out entire stat blocks so I don't have to be looking for them. I do use the dnd beyond encounter tracker some of the time, but in big, complicated encounters, I find that can actually make my life extra confusing, so I do a lot of handwriting shit out on paper.

tpk: Have you ever had a game go completely off the rails? TPK? How did you adjust?

I did in fact facilitate a TPK in my current campaign which was !!!! yeah I would say off the rails is putting it mildly! The entire party was slaughtered by dire wolves, which was a random encounter on the way to a completely different objective so. very unexpected. It was one of those games that truly makes you feel insane, and it was almost entirely down to rolls-- I was rolling very well for these wolves (I think I crit 3 or 4 times?) and they were rolling extremely poorly. It was honestly easier for me that everyone went out than just a few people, because it meant that I could make on the fly decisions for the group and no one had to sit out the rest of the session. So, once the last person went down I gave everyone a kind of solo limbo vignette where we zeroed in on some character/backstory stuff for each of them, just to kind of settle everyone (which was really fun to do, especially since there's a lot they don't know about each other's histories, some more than others), and took a five minute recess to figure out what to do next-- I was lucky that unbeknownst to the party, they were on their way to knock on the door of a hag coven, who had their own reasons to want them alive, so I ended up having them all wake up as their captives. Congrats, you made it to where you were going! Sorry, you're still fucked! And THAT ended up being one of the most fun, intense encounters we've run. And I certainly am weaving some threads in the background about how exactly they survived and what the long-term consequences of that are.

[heartsbreaking-migrated]

a lil nico unfiltered thought moment (its not really a rant or negative, just words about my experience in the rpc i guess )

i think the part that's getting in my head about rp recently is like i feel like ive pretty much aced the writing and the graphics part (i mean i can always improve, but i'm confident enough in my abilities that i don't generally feel insecure about it) but the actual social part feels incredibly difficult to me in a way it didn't used to when i wrote on a different site as a teenager. i had a friend group there and like for the main few years it felt like i could just be myself, i understood the social structure and how things worked and even when i was at my worst there, i didn't feel like there was something completely impossible to me that i didn't understand

but here im just kinda lost, and i don't understand the social structure of the rpc at all. like i don't understand how people have groups of friends, i don't understand how people get to the point with anyone where they're so close their muses are interconnected or where they feel comfortable enough with people to just ask for a ship or a specific plot. and maybe its cause i've only been here for three years and there are people who have been writing here for ten+ but i'm sorry i don't plan on being here for ten years and i WANT to have these experiences. i want to understand because when i see groups of muses forming or niche fandoms i'm apart of having rpcs my first thought isn't 'those are potential friends i could make, i should try and interact' it's a trauma response of expecting disappointment so i don't let myself try. it's 'i'm going to be rejected if i try and engage with this group so instead i'll watch from the sidelines until it eventually goes from interest to jealousy to anger to passivity. and i know im limiting myself by not trying a lot of the time, that i'm sure of because i'm only just now starting to work through that. i guess a lot of it's probably a confidence thing, i'm confident in my writing but not in my ooc interactions and i'm also not the most talkative so unless i have a plot idea or something specific to say, chances are our ooc interactions are going to be pretty sparse and i think it takes a lot more of an outgoing person to get to that point. so thats something to work towards maybe

i love my friends, i love my rp partners, nothing about the dynamics i have with people are inadequate, i just see the way people interact here and it's not the way my interactions with people here feel and maybe its a me thing/a trauma thing/a comfort level thing thats entirely on me and I could be the one thats not letting my dynamics progress to that level. i'm completely open to that concept that the only thing stopping me from the types of interactions/experience i want to have on this site is me. im just not sure how to push through that.

i'm doing a lot better than i was two months ago or even one month ago, this like social aspect just kinda feels like the final frontier to me. it's what gets me down when i'm depressed and when i'm feeling good like i am rn it something that just moderately bugs me

anyway if you read this i hope your day is going well and you find $20 on the floor

KNOWING YOUR PARTNER WELL CAN POTENTIALLY MAKE WRITING TOGETHER A LOT EASIER. ( REPOST DO NOT REBLOG ! )

○  name: Kay ○  pronouns: She/Her/Potato

○   preference of communication: Discord once we’ve got an established thing going! :) 

○    name of muse(s): Rebekah & Dany (@theunburntprotector) are my leading ladies, forever and always. These two are here to stay and I have so much fun because, at this point, I feel that I know them like the back of my hand. In recent, I’ve given Hayley Marshall and Rhaenyra Targ a go as well, but write them more selectively. Guess I like my familiar fandoms!   ○    experience/how long (months/years?): I believe my first escapade with the RPC was in my early teen years. Consistency has ebbed and flowed, but I am now an old relic who is enjoying writing more than ever. I love having a great group of people I write with consistently, and find this to be such a fun, relaxing, and creative outlet. 

○    platforms you’ve used: Tumblr & Disco

○   best experience: Meeting the little circle of friends on here who share similar interests. We get to write together, be creative together, geek out together, grow characters together, and really enjoy this thing.

○    rp pet peeves / dealbreakers: Drama, plain and simple. 

○    fluff, angst, or smut: MUST I CHOOSE? I CHOOSE ALL THREE! THE GOLDEN TRIFECTA! However, I would say fluff and angst trump smut for me, and I like to have a healthy sampling of both in my threads at any given time.

○    plots or memes:○  Both! I’m always open to plotting something new and different, especially if we are established writing partners. However, throwing a good old-fashioned meme my way is a fun way to get those creative juices flowing!

○    best time to write: Given I am a psychopath, I write somewhere between the hours of 5am and 7am... I’m an early riser who feels most productive in the morning, so I love diving into a thread over a cup of coffee. It’s weird but it’s me.

○    are you like your muse(s): Not so much. Maybe in small ways (Rebekah and I both hate country music? Daenerys and I both treat our pets like our children?), but for the most part I enjoy writing women who are different from me and different from each other. I suppose we all know what we want, and are ambitious to accomplish our goals, but I am way too patient and kind to be in their glorious ranks. <3

KNOWING  YOUR  PARTNER  WELL  CAN  POTENTIALLY  MAKE  WRITING  TOGETHER  A  LOT  EASIER. (repost,  don’t  reblog)

Name: call me kylie

Pronouns:  she/her

Preference  of  communication:  loud shrugging?  tbh, i’m bad at chatting no matter the platform.  disco is probably the most reliable way of getting me, but really depends on what i’m doing ajkdl;fsja

Name  of  muse(s):  ​cat is here, xayah @rebelquilled​, alina @bloodcrave​, and then i have like... uh... 16 or something muses on my multi @starsweepers​.

Experience/how  long  (months/years?):  since i was eleven... i’m 29 so... 18 years?

Platforms  you’ve  used: n.eopets, p.roboards, and here on tumbs

Best  experience: maybe it’s nostalgia, but n.eopets was always amazing.  couldn’t write as freely due to it being a kids site but.  i miss the guild aspect.  i felt closer to the people i met and everyone was more connected and the like.  you didn’t have to promo yourself and all that.  it was just easier.  the h.arvest m.oon p.roboards i did was also lovely, but just got a bit boring.  on neo i did w.arriors so that was always chaos lol.  it wasn’t perfect but.  i just liked the smaller community and groups more.  tumbs is sometimes just too demanding and overwhelming.  but it’s had some great moments, as well.

RP  pet  peeves  /  dealbreakers: people who never give me effort when i try.  like.  i suck.  so i never expect my partners to throw themselves at me while i am barely doing the bare minimum.  but if i am trying and liking things or doing things for you and you give me nothing?  then i lose my patience and cut off.  i’m not a huge fan of constant n.sfw stuff on my dash... but i try to be open to most people and such.  it can vary, really.  i guess i have a number of pet peeves, but eh.  who doesn’t?

Fluff,  angst,  or  smut: for cat, fluff can only happen with scott technically... so platonic affection/friendship is wonderful.  or familial.  slice of life and action... but love me some angst, too.  smut is not my fave with any muse or any person.  i have done it in small doses with twinnie and kind of with emma but.  if you feel like i’m not interested in a ship because i don’t really smut, that’s not it.  i just don’t write/care for it a whole lot.  

Plots  or  memes:  tbh either?  i think both can lead to interesting situations depending on the muse.  memes can be more finicky, though.  and sometimes i come up with ideas i hate lol.  so plotting is safer and can be super tasty but.  i like the spontaneity of memes at times.

Long  or  short  replies: either.  i tend to write long on cat but short these days has been easier.  a solid middle is also nice.

Best  time  to  write: idk any more, these days i’m just happy when i do write.

Are  you  like  your  muse(s):  cat and i like food... and puns.  but otherwise she’s not really who i put myself into.  same with alina.  i probably have less in common with alina and xayah than cat.  on my multi, i put more of myself into those ocs.  my loves of sports goes into gray and brent, my love of video games/slightly nerdy side into brent, my happier nature into dawn and faith and laila, my desire to make others shine bright into those same ones...  basically go to my multi for muses i have more relations to.  but part of the reason i love cat and alina and xayah is because of their differences from me lol

Be kind and patient to everyone here! That goes for the muses, but of course being mean (IC) or teasing is fine but I am able to reject or put a pause to asks if it is to get out of hand, but everyone seems quite good with this!

Do not be controlling of my muses. Meaning controlling my muse without speaking to me first or it is explained by your Characters lore!

Mun isn’t the muse and muse is not mun, please remember the muses are their own beings and the mun is a person.

Muses are 18+ upon this blog, but please do not be pressured for certain things, and speak to me beforehand with any nsfw stuff, for your and make sake- thank you much ♥︎ [[18+ muns/muses ONLY-]

If anything comes to mind I'll put it here but for the most part just be civil ♥︎

While I am open and friendly I do not want any transphobia, transphobia, bigatory, anything of the such on the blog. anything with Na$i or anything else---

Or if you do not like a certain ship or something else that I do. I really rather keep things up and well for your and my own mental health. We do not need that here.

🌸About me★★★★

I am 21+ and have rped 8+ years now! I'm quite fond of it and enjoy it a lot, as it's another creative outlook ans something to appreciate with other roleplayers. I'm busy most of the week as I deliver but I do reply in good time unless things get absolutely wacky. [[I had a lag period but I am awaken]

About this time of year I should be far more active coming October [2024]. I am also an artist who's art has been on run for some time with posting issues, haha. But, I'll try my best to post pieces here and there♥︎

I've been a part of various fandoms and groups for some time. There will be a short list of fandoms I was in, Transformers and Voltron are my most observed habitats. Though I don't mind other fandoms/muses or OC characters for interactions!

Pretty chill otherwise, but I am fairly busy during the week and free mostly on the weekends. So bigger projects will be mostly tended to on the weekend!

How Vinnie’s friend’s would react to opening his fridge for a snack and only seeing a bunch of energy drinks inside.

Russell: *He frowns shaking his head*"Vinnie, this is not okay. You can't survive on these alone. We're going to the store right now to get you some real food."

Pepper: *Pepper grinned, grabbing a can of energy drink* "Don't mind if I do," she said, popping it open.

Sunil: "Vinnie, I'm starting to think you have a secret sponsorship deal with that energy drink company. Need me to grab some actual food for you next time I'm out?"

Penny: “Vinnie, seriously? Am I supposed to starve every time I come over here? I've been craving a snack, and all I see are these energy drinks. Are you trying to tell me something? do I need to start bringing my own snacks when I come over?”

Zoe: "Darling, these energy drinks are like liquid sugar bombs, you know? Have you ever considered letting me give you some pointers on a healthier diet?"

Minka: "Whoa, look at all these energy drinks! This is like a dream come true!” *starts chugging two at a time* “Let's see if I can break my record!"

Sharukuh: “I’m not drinking that.” *pulls out his phone* “I’m getting a pizza what do you want on your half?”



Per your liking, I will reply to those as Vinnie >:) (and then you will reply as them and then I will again reply as Vinnie and then- basically another rp [not really]) But before that I'm glad you did include Sharukh, idk now I'm really into him being part of their group

with Russell: "What? Sure I can >:(. I have been until now so clearly I can. You're wrong and I'm finally right. But fine, we can go to the store." He's going there with an intent to buy more energy drinks :) and maybe some chips and stuff like that

with Pepper: *no talking actually, he just shrugs and nods in approval. Sure, he'd rather have it for himself but then again Pepper did want a snack plus he respects that she doesn't bat an eye at his fridge's contents. Finally, someone who understands ^^* But like Pepper better buy that back-

With Sunil: "Whhhhat? Nah, if I feel like I need some different food I'll buy it myself. And a sponsorship deal? I so wish I had one, imagine energy drinks just arriving at my door like that! What a dream... Wait! How can I get such sponsorship? There must be a way."

With Penny: "W-what? No... *actually feeling rather sorry* But those do count as snacks, promise! At least give it a try, okay? I promise it's veery good, and look how big of a choice I have, feel free to take any *takes mental notes in the back of his head to have some "other" snacks on him whenever Penny visits*"

With Zoe: "Healthier diet? No thanks, I'm healthy alright. Look, it's not like I drink them all the time, only like... 90% of the time. And liquid sugar bombs? Mmm. I mean, doesn't that mean that they give me a lot of energy and stuff? They are called energy drinks after all, yeah? And you can never have too much energy, right? I'm telling you, Zoe, they're not bad *goes on a rant trying to convince Zoe that energy drinks are healthy*" Spolier alert: Zoe does not end up convinced at all, in fact she's just all that more sure they're bad.

You know what that reminds me of? The fact that quite recently (like few months ago I think) there was this change in Poland (you know, where I live) that now to buy energy drinks you have to be an adult, so eighteen. That had not been a think before at all, you could buy those being any age. I know, I fucking kept forgetting about it and then sometimes they wouldn't sell me those cause I didn't have my ID on me because I never needed it before for that and apparently I don't look 18 even though I'm 22 :'). I mean, it has its perks. Is that a thing in other countries? I feel like it might be, at least countries that are part of European Union, but I don't know for sure.

Anyway, I mean I understand and I quite frankly think this is right, but still, it's kinda weird to think that now in such way energy drinks are on the same level as alcohol, with both of those only being sold to adults. You know, alcohol is such a common thing, you can just easily buy it, but it's so fucking harmful, I genuinely believe alcohol should be banned, for everyone, only used for medical purposes and stuff, not for casual consumption. Okay this isn't the post for that, it's just what I thiiiink.

With Minka: *similar like with Pepper, respects that even if two of his precious energy drinks had to be sacrificed* "Record, huh? You have a record? I didn't know that. You drink energy drinks a lot? Cause I do, I mean, obviously. I mean not that much. But still, how many have you drank in a day the most? I think for me it was like... five? Maybe six, I don't remember. I felt soo good afterwards, you have no idea, I was just soo full of energy and I completed so many things."

And finally with the man of the hour himself, Sharukh: "Aw, why not? They're good! *mildly offended but then-* Oh, pizza? Okay! So I want cheese and ham, lots of ham, no vegetables or olives, yuck! Oh and pepperoni, lots of it too." I like how Sharukh is so unfazed, he's just "I'm not drinking this shit". Then again Sharukh of all people is used to seeing a fridge filled with one product and one product only, cause he has more than one fridge, most likely, doesn't he?

I just really like the dynamic Vinnie and Sharukh have going on, you know?

[sincerely-krp]

okay, so- i’m gonna come with a hot take because i feel like it’s needed.

from a personal standpoint, based on my own experiences in the krpc over the last year (10+ years in the general rp community) and from what i’ve witnessed? a majority of people here, engaging with vent blogs, needs a reality check. go outside, get some fresh air. be open for other perspectives. and i mean this kindly. you are not the center of attention in the rpc.

my point is; from what i see? a lot of people (not generalizing here) are quick to run to vent blogs if they have a personally bad encounter with a group or an admin team, using vent blogs to get out with their frustrations and throw around baseless accusations. but please do know that- those accusations can actually do a lot of harm to groups if they are mentioned, or even writers. i’ve personally witnessed a group that was once very active and always welcoming (we literally felt like a whole family who tried to include everyone), with a lot of applications, end up dying because it was involved in drama on this very vent blog, because people threw around baseless accusations based on an outside perspective. and even though all parts involved made their statements, cleared up things and were okay with nothing but respect towards each other, it still resulted in the group i was in to closed down. and i have a feeling it's because people judged too hard based on things said here, to not give the group a chance.

people submitting baseless accusations (even if the sincerely admin team provides a 24hour window to provide proof before it will be taken down)? it still is a 24hour window that allows people to literally tear a group apart, make their judgements and in the end, condemn the group mentioned. and i can’t tell if someone is just venting here with accusations because they are upset on a personal level? or because they actually want to speak on behalf of a community? but in the end, things can get bad. your words have power.

so- one thing i have come to really treasure and appreciate these days? is the fact that i make friends with my writing partners. i completely understand if you are just here to write and not make friends? but i can 10/10 recommend it for the sake of getting a perspective, but also a healthy community. SO THAT IS WHAT I RECOMMEND TO YOU! i’m not saying you have to be bff’s and share personal details? but, actually talking ooc with others within the same group to get a broader perspective on a situation in a group (i.e. 'hey- i've sent the admins a message x days ago but i feel ignored. have you felt the same way?' or 'i feel like the admins are favoring this muse to the point it doesn't feel fair. have you experienced the same or am i just overthinking things?'), instead of just jumping straight to a vent blog to say ‘they are toxic and ignorant’ ?? based on your own, single-minded encounter? is definitely a better way to approach things, if you ask me.

why am i saying this? because i recently joined a very big oc group. and this group has been mentioned A LOT on this vent blog, which initially made me iffy about joining. but in the end i gave it a shot. and it has been nothing but a welcoming experience. and i’ve had my fun so far, which only hints towards the whole ‘personal vendetta vs. general opinion / experience’ i am hinting at. and i am saying this because some submissions here ARE most likely coming from a personal opinion, but people take them for being generalized. and that can really do more damage than good.

and no- don’t be coming for me with pointy fingers and accuse me of being a delusional suck-up, just because you don’t agree with me! because i am a very open-minded and a realistic person. i don’t judge easily, and i have never been a suck-up. i like to believe myself to be one to see the overall picture and stay grounded, and listen to all sides. in the end, i am simply in the krpc to write and have a good time- and i voice my opinions, thoughts and concerns with my friends (who i talk with ooc) in the krpc before i make assumptions. if i don't feel comfortable with a group or an admin team? i like to ask my friends for 2nd opinions (and in most cases, just venting with friends helps a lot, leaving me to not wanting to submit a toxic, possibly generalizing submission to a vent blog after that because i already expressed my opinion to someone who were able to give me a different perspective that wasn't my own) and that has definitely been the most healthy approach i’ve ever personally experienced through my 10+ years in the rpc. make friends with your writing partners. get 2nd opinions before you turn to a vent blog turn a group / admin team / member / topic them to shreds, because in most cases- it helps. and if a group / admin team / member / topic is genuinely toxic, which has an influence on more writers involved beyond your own? then- use vents blogs to warn others. (on an after note- i understand if there are people here who feels alone, with vent blogs being their only voice to get things out. and you should definitely be able to voice your concerns here. i'm just saying there's a different between saying 'x is toxic bc of this and this reason' and saying 'i don't feel comfortable with x due to this and this reason. has anyone else felt the same or just me?' - there's a difference between generalizing things and expressing a personal experience which you seek other's opinions on before coming to conlusion)

[strawberry-tv]

thoughts on rp and my rules on them :3

(dont have to follow these as there my opinion qwq)

TW:NSFW MENTIONED

1.what type of rp is okay? :3

Any type of rp as long as it consensual though in my thoughts nsfw rps should be between adults(or maybe teens(15+? Or 16+)) who consent to that :D

2.is it okay to rp with someone younger/older than me? (@_@;)

Depands as it can be okay as long as done in the right setting though my thumb of rule is if too young than no go if too old than go find a trusted adult :3

3.is there a way to rp safely with someone younger/older than me? ( ・◇・)？

Yes there are here are some ways to do it safely for all partys :DDD

let start with just a year or month old gap this depands on how old you are but it normally safe to do though if your both under 15/16 it best to avoid nsfw rping ^w^

But what if im rp with someone older/younger than me by alot? ( ´-｀)

it best to ether stop if the age gap is like 13~16 and 21~24 as no sane adult should want to rp with someone who in middle/high school those are 2 different stages of life qwq but if you wish to go on with it than i say join a server with other people in it so it safe for both partys ( ﾉ^ω^)ﾉ

though this may change if you are in the same rping group with them and are rping in the open or if it rping with alot of people you cant tell everyones age though it always best to keep things sfw unless said otherwaise :3

(This part was super long i am sorrys qwq)

4.is it okay for minors under 13 to rp? ?(・_・;?

Yes as long as it sfw and both partys want to as rp is for everyone no matter the age and can help them make friends and learn how to write while it is fun (*^▽^)/★*☆♪

(Sidenote i dont think -13 should be able to be online without the protection of an adult that they trust, probably should be their parent or sibling and not some random adult qwq)

[trollkennel]

TrashWizzard's RP Blog Rules and Preferences

This is not an exhaustive list, but here are some guidelines before interacting with me. These are my personal preferences, not universal law nor judgment of anyone else's style of play. It's simply what I prefer for myself. Everyone enjoys their fiction differently, and that's ok :)

Firstly, I am an adult. I would prefer to rp with others who are 18+.

I am also 🏳️‍🌈very queer🏳️‍🌈, as are my characters. If you have questions about their identities, preferences, or my own please feel free to ask! My OOC pronouns are They/Them.

It goes without saying that bigots, homophobes, TERFs and assorted hate groups DNI. I'm literally Just A Guy who enjoys writing fictional things about made up people. Deal with it 🤙

I'm brand new to roleplaying in Tumblr format, so bear with me as I learn the ropes. I live on Discord, and depending on the circumstances I am also open to rp on there as well.

Roleplaying preferences under the cut:

Yes

✅ Etiquette

Please be familiar with general roleplaying etiquette as well as common terms (such as Godmoding, Meta Knowledge, and IC / OOC). I am an adult with a full-time job and many interests. I will try to respond as often as I can, but please be patient if my replies are not immediate. Usually planning to reply at least once a day, sometimes more if our schedules line up well. I am a literate roleplayer, usually opting for and preferring paragraphs or descriptive posts; however I do enjoy rapid-fire script style as well.

✅ Original Characters Only

Show off your fantrolls, maybe even human ocs? No matter the fandom, I want to see your original characters only.

✅Canon-Adjacent

My characters are designed to flow well with MSPA (or the appropriate fandom's) canon as much as I can, but that isn't an unbreakable standard. Some things I have bent or changed because it's fun, straying just far enough to make unique and interesting divergences from canon. Nothing super crazy.

✅Character Arcs and Ongoing Plots

We love to see it!! It would be awesome to collaborate with other roleplayers I find I really vibe with. I would love nothing more than to create an expansive story with intertwined details among characters.

✅ Alliances and Rivalries

Plotting! Scheeeming! Sometimes this happens naturally, but I'm usually open to planning things ahead of time if it seems fun 👀 No worries about metagaming here, I'm generally very good at keeping OOC knowledge compartmentalized from my IC knowledge.

✅ Mature Themes

!! I do not mean smut, sex, erp, etc. !! I love darker themes and angst in my writing. Most of my characters are probably traumatized in one way or another, and some of those themes may be uncomfortable. I generally keep mentions to vague allusions, or don't go into great detail (especially if it's not private rp or with someone I know fairly well). This might include topics such as substance abuse, depression, mortality and other heavy subjects. Life is not always gentle. But the harder they fall, the more fulfilling the redemption.

✅ Slice of Life

As a lighter alternative, I do enjoy fluff, exposition, and slice of life scenarios. Well-placed comedy in rp is one of my favorite takeaways, and some of my characters can be very silly! This is also a great way to break the ice and get to know new friends/characters, and maybe work our way to bigger plots.

____________________

Ask First

❕Shipping

I am unlikely to ship my characters with a stranger's OCs. I'd prefer to ship with friends, if anyone.

❕Character Harm or Death

Falls under mature themes as described above, but please get my consent before trying anything. I'm usually not opposed to letting my guys have a bad day, especially if it helps with growth or plot progression.

____________________

No

❌ Writers under the age of 18

❌ Erotic roleplay

❌ Canon Characters

❌ Joke Characters

Short interactions with joke characters might be okay but that's not my preference overall. Part of my roleplay enjoyment comes from taking my fake people seriously.

❌ Fully Broken Lore or Unreasonable Selfmade Canon

(MSPA specific) If your glitterbloods and half cherubs bring you joy then I am happy for you; but they don't have a place in my cast's lore, I apologize :( My guys wouldn't know how to react.

A New Pinned Post

Expanding on/tightening up this tumblr's focus since I'm going to at least try to be more active on here now, so here we go!

This tumblr is a singular muse-focused blog centered around an RP character within the world of Eorzea, of Final Fantasy 14. She is a Ravan Viera who goes by the name Kainé, and is currently trying to find her way and her purpose in the world outside the Golmore Jungle; read more below the line to find out more about the mun behind her, as well as her!

About Me: I have been roleplaying for over 2 decades now, so while I am still relatively new-ish to some of the intricacies specific to FFXIV RP, I am definitely not new to roleplay in general. I am looking for long-form back and forths (at least 2 paragraphs, please, but I can adjust within reason as needed), long-term connections for my character, and honestly, mostly just fun. And communication, please! I promise I don't bite. I'm open to dark and mature themes, as long as they come up naturally and aren't shoehorned in for shock value, but am absolutely NOT okay with any kind of phobic/fetishistic OOC ideas/views.

About Kainé: Kaine is a Ravan Viera, a few decades into her exile from the Golmore Jungle, finally comfortable enough on her own two feet to begin trying to explore the world outside her adopted Hyuran mother's textiles shop-turned-teahouse and bakery. Still, she can usually be found in Shirogane, in the private cottage she inherited from the Hyuran woman before her death; if she's not there, she can usually also be found in the Black Shroud, prowling along less-used walking paths in attempts to keep them safe from beasties for lost new adventurers; occasionally, strangely enough, she can also be found in Abalanthia's Spine, visiting a mysterious group of old friends there. However, not all is as fortunate as it seems; for those Viera who still hold fast to the Green Word, the way of the Golmore Jungle, there may be rumors that the Viera's banishment was merely one step in a two-part order, though from who the order hails is a mystery, and the second step may explain well why she is on the run, so skittish around so many of her kin.

My messages are open, and I would love any follows/reblogs/likes/et cetera! Hoping to meet some cool peeps and get this girl out into the world, and hope to post more soon! o7

Introduction Post 🐠🐠

Michael or Julian. Bi, white, he/him in the same way as a transgender fish would be he/him. not nonbinary but not not nonbinary

Blog will most likely will be populated by oc posts, Pokemon drawings, music(ian) fanart, and fish drawings.

Main/spam is @swadloom, which has a directory to even more stuff, mostly Pokemon rp!

Also uhh I spend way more time constructing and editing posts and profiles like this than is necessary so if I come off as like a really formal person or whatever. nah imjust silly

More semantics, permissions and such under the cut!

You may use my art for profile pictures & banners with credit (excluding gift art for other specific people), but do not repost my art to other websites without my permission

I do not consent to my works being used for NFTs or for AI training

I don't do commissions currently

I use Clip Studio Paint! Do not ask me anything about how to use it I know just as much as you 💔

I'm indecisive and worry & will probably re-edit this post like. 50 times

Since I see posts about it going around a lot I just want to say that yes, reblogs are appreciated, but it's literally none of my business whether you do or not and I appreciate likes because I like knowing people saw it. ik this is silly but I want to clarify since I know others are different with this

I'm often going to try to represent people in my writing, including groups I am not a part of. My characters are flawed and when it comes to my own identities I will stand by the stories I write (which can involve death and self loathing), but for those I'm not a part of I will be open to making changes and taking reccommendations. I'm anxious about discourse and new to criticism, but I'll make that my own problem. You don't need a moral reason to dislike what I make but if I do smth problematic I want to know

Enjoy my nerd character freaks 👍
