I want to find other rtc rpers I'm like...like AGHHH. But I know the tag rtc rp is filled with rtc rp ask accounts and I don't think they would do semi lit? I don't know, if anybody wants to do a semi lit or lit rtc rp with me hmu 😢😢 I would love to make one of those rp ask accounts here but it's too overwhelming, tumblr is not the app for me sadly

Are you worried about the pcu nelf guild claiming amirdrassil and trying to police who is allowed in there and bullying others out?

From all signs it does not look as if Dirge of Teldrassil even has the steam left inside it to run. The whole purpose of the guild, revenge on the horde etc, has been either accomplished with the battle of Darkshore or has been put aside with the ending of the faction conflict.

Amirdrassil in actuality likely represents the anathema of the PCU fascistic mindset of total war and total destruction against the perceived enemies. That said there is always a need for vigilance if they try to impose themselves upon the 'new thing'. The PCU are utterly unable to innovate new ideas themselves so there is a risk of them trying to cannibalize any night elf RP revival attempts for their own gain.

Travis Confesses His Love (Newest Uni)

Word Count: 1,227 Genre: Romance//Roleplay Characters: Travis & Jasmine

Disclaimer: only Jasmine is my character; Travis is my friend's.

Click below to read the scene.

She beamed. "Friends and good views," she agreed, clinking her bottle with his, watching him as she took a sip from hers. Just as she took her first sip, she heard her phone go off and apologized as she glanced at it and pocketed it immediately without replying. "Sorry, that was my friend, Lawrence. He was asking how long you're going to be in town." She paused, glancing at him with her head tilted. "How long do I get to have you for?" She asked, not thinking about how she worded the question.

He had been taking a long drink when the message came in, and a flash of... something shot through him.

"Just a few days." He admitted, "I have to  go back to get fitted for a new leg. And then Monica asked me to watch Lillian."

"That's too bad," she said with a little smile. "It sucks being away from everyone." She took a bite of her sandwich, looking distant for a moment before her phone buzzed in her pocket again. She pulled it out to put it on silent fully and then ate her sandwich more.

"I bet." He agreed, "it's weird not seeing you and Claire together all the time, these days." He took another bite of his sandwich, glancing to her phone, "So is Lawrence... just a friend?"

"With benefits," she answered casually, sprawling her legs out to the side of the blanket and taking another deep drink from her bottle, completely oblivious to his reactions to the phone. It lit up with another message as she glanced at him, head tilted. "You have any new friends back home?" She asked curiously.

He hid his reaction by taking a long drink from his bottle, "Nah. Stick with my usual people. Less headaches." He said with a shrug.

She smiled. "Ain't that the truth," she agreed as her dog started barking and wrestling with Ghost, wagging her tail profusely. Jas' eyes slowly made their way away from Travis to watch the dogs and she called hers, telling her to get off of Ghost. When she obeyed, Jasmine glanced back at Travis.

"New friends can be scary, but it's healthy." She smiled and groaned, laying on her back and gazing up at the sky, taking another bite of her sandwich. "When are you gonna start dating again? It's been a while since you've had a girl in your life."

He snorted as Ghost trotted back over, plopping down with a yawn, "Lazy ass dog." He muttered, then glanced to Jas, "not for lack of trying in that area, but not many girls interested in dating an amputee veteran. At least, that don't already have someone." It wasn't entirely true. There were girls interested in him. He just... didn't want them, so he stuck to the occasional one night stand.

She hummed at that, and took another bite. "They're fools," she said, again tone casual. She waved her hand in the air and stared at the clouds above her head. "You're very dateable, so if they don't see it, they're idiots."

"Hm." He hummed, finishing his sandwich, then his beer, watching her. "None of them felt right anyhow. Doubt they'd stick around long, even if they didn't mind. Definitely wouldn’t have been there during the healing process."

She snorted, annoyed at that. "You'd have to be selfish to leave someone while they're going through what you've had to deal with," she said, shaking her head and taking the last bite of the sandwich, still completely oblivious. It had been so long, she figured they would always be friends, if something was going to happen, it would have by now. She figured it was healthier to accept that and just be the best friend she could be.

"One day you'll meet a girl that accepts you like I do, and she'll set your heart aflame. You deserve it." She smiled to herself and took a sip of her beer.

He was quiet for a moment, considering his options. Were these comments too subtle? Fucking hell, Ghost (the human) was probably laughing at him struggling. He shouldn't be listening to Monica's advice, obviously.

"I doubt there's another girl like you, Jas." He said, trying one last time, "you're... one of a kind."

Jas sat up at that, staring at him for a second, face flushed. "Well... of course... no one's me. I'm me," she said slowly, trying to gauge how he'd meant that. "But uh... just because I'm willing to be there for you, doesn't mean... no one else will..." she added, eyes narrowing, trying not to let herself hope. There was no way... after all this time.

Oh for fucks sake, Travis groaned mentally, "I like you, Jas." He said bluntly finally, "I am attracted to you, of course no other girl is going to measure up. You're a goddamn wonder."

Jas' mouth dropped at that, a small sound of surprise escaping her while her brain short circuited and she struggled to grasp what he just said. "I um..." she started stuttering when she finally was able to speak again. "I-I mean... of course you like me, friends should always like their friends," she stammered, still refusing to believe that after all this time, he was telling her [exactly what he was telling her].

"Jesus Christ." He muttered, moving some things so he could shift his weight onto his good knee and stretched forward, pressing their lips together in a kiss that hopefully left no room for questions.

Jasmine's eyes shot wide at the kiss and she froze, shocked. Her face turned bright red as she slowly seemed to come to realize what was happening; however, she was still too shocked to kiss back, brain frozen in place.

He pulled away after a moment, adjusting to sit comfortably once more and cleared his throat, "Maybe now with Lawrence you aren't... I was blind, all these years. I knew you liked me. I hadn't thought much of it until after my discharge. You were... so fucking good to me. I was miserable. But you..." he trailed off, suddenly wishing he had cigarettes. He wasn't a regular smoker, but every now and then... It was a good stress relief. A reminder of his times in the front lines with his boys.

When he pulled away, Jas stared at him, face beet red and struggling to get her brain back to full functioning. "I... I can't..." she stammered, struggling to get a full sentence formed in her shock. "Is... is this a prank? Did your sister put you up to this? Marcus?" She finally asked.

"I'm... I'm sorry, I just..." she began, biting her lip and staring at him one more second, leaning closer and letting her hand fall on his chest. "after all this time, I figured..." she tried again, though she couldn't form a full thought quite yet. She wanted this so long, it almost felt like a dream it was finally... he finally…

"Like I said, it took time. Separating Claire's friend and the girl who makes me really fucking happy." He sighed.

no offense anon but thats not as easy as you think, at least imo. first you need to see if your fandom had a (character) x reader fanfic. if they don’t, why not write one yourself? but what if you aren’t a writer? you can commission someone! but what if you’re broke? you can find a roleplayer, but finding one is tedious nowadays cuz:

- could find a good roleplayer but they hate oc x canon

- dry roleplayer or a roleplayer who expects you to type out the bible as a response back

- a roleplayer who’s rarely active

what im tryna say is sometimes its hard to find a roleplayer who matches your flow AND is into oc x canon. or maybe its just me idfk.

plus, not on ai’s side, but tbf c.ai has kind of helped people get out of writing block, learn a language, help them communicate, and just help them mentally. cant say that for everyone but at least theres some good to it?

i dunno, i hate ai but i don’t think c.ai is much of a threat like ppl say it is. i feel in a way chatgpt might be more of a threat. c.ai is just there sometimes. if anyone wants to tell me that im wrong be civil be mindful and demure, cuz im open minded n willing to hear ppls sides out.

RULES

don't be mean, basically.. u can make comments about certain roleplayers, but they have to be positive! otherwise, literally anything else is allowed. just dont be mean. its also 'crossover' friendly as in u can confess something like 'i wish (certain kyouka rp blog) interact with (certain pjsekai rp blog.'

it can also be ab roleplaying itself, like the flaws of the community or anything like that . ships allowed too cuz why not ? (ex. 'i ship swimminginyokohamasrivers x dazaisrealbf') (yes i know theyre like. actually together ists just an example.

HOW IT WORKS

i'm sure u've seen other confessions blogs, but if u haven't: u send in an ask, we turn it into an image with ur ask as text over it. we don't usually ACTUALLY answer asks, just see it and then make it into an image. if ure still confused, just search up bsd confessions and ull understand

A not so quick, very messy little write up about David, his ex wife Helena, and their daughter Alexis.

So, something that roleplayers often do is pick a face claim to represent their character. It’s kind of like fan casting for a book adaptation and as you probably know, I’ve picked Stephen Dillane to represent David. He’s closest to Stephen from series 1 of The Tunnel in both age and appearance, for the sake of logistics.

David is 57 years old, Helena is 52, and Alexis is 12.

David and Helena had been married for just over five years when they were shocked with news of a pregnancy. It had been a very big, but very happy surprise, and the two would stay together for five more years.

Helena had been the one to ask for a divorce. She’d confessed to falling out of love with David, and to her growing feelings for another man. It’s important to note that she did not act on these feelings, though. She just knew that their presence meant that their relationship had ran its course.

David was heartbroken, but he understood. The split was relatively amicable, and they agreed on a joint custody agreement. One week with mum, one week with dad, alternating holidays and weekends.

Alexis is very much a daddy’s girl, and the feeling is mutual. She’s the reason David bothers dragging himself out of bed and down to his dead end job. Her visits are the highlights of his life.

Finances are a big source of stress in his life, though. David isn’t exactly dead broke, but he’s not far from it. He’s the type of parent that will do without for the sake of his child, though. Like, he’s put off buying a new mattress for years but his daughter has always had new clothes, school supplies, and toys. He’s happy to do it for her.

His ex doesn’t bleed him dry or anything. She pays her part, and then some. She’s actually in a moderately better financial position than David, and frequently offers to cover things for him, but he refuses unless he absolutely has to. It’s a point of pride, you know? Like, what kind of father can’t get his daughter new books for school?

The one time he’s let her pay for something was the Christmas after he’d lost hearing in his left ear. Money was especially tight with medical bills, and he just flat out couldn’t afford to pay rent and buy presents. Helena had bought a few extra gifts and said they were from him.

David remembers crying like a baby on his sofa that night, feeling like the world’s worst father.

- 𝐎𝐎𝐂: Calling all BSD (and OC) roleplayers! Since it's (almost) Valentine's Day, how about we do a silly roleplay game based on it. All you need to do is..

1. Ask a random BSD roleplayer ANONYMOUSLY. (OC or canon/AU BSD character) It's like a secret santa, but don't tag yourself in the ask. You (The receiver) can find out who it is. Probably the way they type, or how they do their formats! (And because if you reblog, your rp account is shown, just use anon asks. It shouldn't be a lot to the receiver, because they probably have too many notifications..)

2. Either, you confess to them or give them chocolates (Use this emoji: 🍫 or not, it's optional.) in a roleplay way.

3. Have fun roleplaying with them! (You can make things romantic or something, a bunch of comedy, perhaps?)

Use this hashtag in your posts too. #Bsd rp!valentines (You can reblog this post to spread it more to other roleplayers!!) This challenge is until Feb 13—29, 2024.

Anyways, Happy Valentine's Day and have fun doing this silly challenge!

Deepspace letters how abt we go on a date..Give you some cuddles, hugs and kisses😍 I mean.. nothing..

....why are you trying to rizz me up? are you sure you have the right inbox?????

[consequencesofargentdawn]

Huh, a two-week break from posting, eh, CoAD? And a team of, what, five or more people run this blog? Weird how you all took two weeks off at the same time. Did you all go on holiday together?

Or - and I think this a tad more likely - this blog really is just run by one individual pretending to be part of a “team”. I mean, you’ve even claimed to have a webmaster. I’ve known small businesses with the same number - if not a lower number - of employees, and yet you expect people to believe that a Tumblr blog that makes ~1 post per day and has a daily view count in the hundreds requires a team of five people including a dedicated webmaster?

Come off it, CoAD.

Yes actually we do. It may surprise you but as our team is also international in nature it does require us to plan in advance for any meet ups. We are all actually friends, not that something as transactional and predatory as the PCU would ever understand that.

We're not even going to humor the conspiracy theory tier nonsense you're spouting, we have on numerous occasions over the years provided evidence to who we are, even some of us offering to put our faces online, again nothing the cowardly PCU would dare (though you utter lettuce brains forgot to cover the paper trail of all your alt-right rant posts on the AD Facebook page from years back. OOPS.)

Again, you us transactional terminology and compare us as 'employees' we do this as a hobby. The fact you constantly bite back is just justifying our existence further.

Finally, let us give you some of our ultra secret sauce on the kind of activity we have. Courtesy of our webmaster, (as you so called them) 351.2 average page views a day. Considering that this blog is almost entirely pointed and intended to engage with the Argent Dawn EU World of Warcraft RP community and very little else (we've made sure of that) 350+ views a day consists of around probably half, in conservative estimates, of the actual RP community.

These are, to make note of, unique views and not taking into account those who bypass the main page and go straight to hotlinked specific pieces we've written up. We understand, it's not nice to be on the other side of the boot is it? It's not nice (for the PCU and other awful groups) to have their oppressed rise up and largely throw off their fascist overlords.

People are, whether you like it or not, more interested in what we have to say and have said in the past than what the PCU, the DiCU, The Elf Cabals or any other "big man rar me powerful me ego, me hate women, me hate minorities" incel tier rejects are saying or trying to offer to the wider community. The winds, or perhaps more accurately the HOWLING GALES of change are blowing over the server and you can either bend and move with the times or be swept off to whatever place of exile many of your former leaders have scurried off to, like the rats who fled to Argentina after 1945.

In short, why don't you get off it? Why don't you go and sit down?

Not to beat a dead horse, because I'm pretty sure we're all actually in agreement that some people use concrit as an excuse to troll or be gross, and some people think they're being polite but worded things badly...but people are actually right on the money with RPers being obscenely sensitive, and it's easy to believe them when they say they are being civil because I see it too. It gets worse the younger people you're around. Maybe it's because the RPC attracts a certain subset of people who really want validation, or who are dealing with stuff at home and don't actually want anything that isn't shining positivity, even if they think they do, who knows. But the scenario where someone asks for feedback, then reacts disproportionately if they get anything that isn't a perfect compliment, isnt a new thing. I looked at two confession blogs and found these in five minutes of searching.

01 INTRO | WRITING LONGER POSTS

Many roleplayers get their start writing short posts, be it script style, ‘one-liners,’ etc. You may also see this called ‘rapidfire’ or ‘semi-literate’ or even ‘illiterate.’ When seasoned writers do it, they seem to prefer ‘lazy-lit.’ Let me be clear from the get-go: there is nothing inherently wrong with short roleplay posts. In fact, short-form RP in real time can be incredibly fun and immersive — which also explains why it’s so popular in the ERP world.

In any case, it’s not uncommon for those accustomed to this style of roleplay to eventually want to branch out and try writing longer posts. (Which go by just as many names: para/multi-para, descriptive, literate, novella, etc.)

A common question you can find posted on any roleplay discourse platform is:

How can I write longer posts?

These roleplayers tend to elaborate, given the obvious answer is to, “write more words.” They don’t know what to write. When they want to be more descriptive, they struggle to picture the setting or the character. They’re not sure how to write more without controlling their partners’ characters.

This will be a ‘deep dive’ series since there’s so much to say on the topic and I like to keep my posts light and digestible. The series will be tagged, so track #writinglongerposts if you’re interested.

Without further ado, the first thing to consider is:

Why do you want to write longer posts?

If writing a lot does not appeal to you — if writing an essay’s worth for a roleplay post sounds like more work than fun — please don’t feel obligated to do it because you think everyone else is. Don’t feel like it’s the only way you can become a “good roleplayer.”

Roleplaying is a hobby. It is for fun. The very moment it becomes not fun, it becomes a chore. There is no reason to add unnecessary chores to your life. There is no reason to roleplay if you are not having a good time doing it.

That said, if you love to write and you’re ready to write more, or just want to try longform posting on for size, read on!

The no-no list

Before we get started, here’s a quick run-down of what you don’t want to do when you start beefing up your RP replies:

Filler. Never, ever add useless description just for the sake of making a piece of writing take longer to read. Remember that you and your writing partner’s enjoyment are equally important and tied for first place on the priorities of roleplay list. Reading stuff that’s longer for the sake of being longer is not fun.

Railroad the plot. Too much action is perhaps more egregious than too much description. (Sound like a tightrope act, yet?) This is because progressing the action too much in a single post removes your RP partner’s ability to have their character react/respond in ‘real time.’

Multiple conversations in one. A prolific issue with novella posts when two characters are chatting is the phenomenon in which their conversations become many. Look how strangely this reads (and pretend it’s much longer):

Sue smiled. “Thanks for doing that,” she said. Then she sighed and gazed out the window. “With my husband off fighting in The War, a lot of things are piling up.” She stirred her coffee. “Even with Bobby Jr. around, there’s more work on the farm than we can handle.

”You know don’t have to thank me, Sue,” said Hal. “I’m happy to help you with anything, because I lo—” He cut himself off, deciding it wasn’t the right time to confess. “I heard it’s almost over, and they’ll be home, soon…” He gazed into her coffee. “I’d like to keep helping with the farm. There’s a lot I can teach Bobby Jr. about horses.” ”But I do,” Sue insisted. “Bobby Sr. won’t like that you’ve been here helping us.” What had he almost said, just then? “Wait, what?” It almost said like he was about to lay all his feelings on the table, as the plotting portended. She nodded. “That’s right. He’ll be back in two months if it goes as planned.” Twirling a lock of her hair on her finger, she said, “I don’t know. I think Bobby Sr. will shoot you if he finds you here when he gets back.” ”Fuck Bobby Sr.,” Hal blurted. When she asked him where he’d been going before he stifled his words, he put his head in his hands. “I love you, Sue. I’ve been in love with you for months. It’s awful… I’ve been hoping you’d get bad news… I’ve been hoping we could be together…” He laid his elbow on the table and sighed. “Bobby Jr. has a way with horses. A knack for riding. Maybe when Bobby Sr. starts working again…”

Notice how the conversation between Sue and Hal starts to fragment. Their reactions to one another’s compelling statements lose spice, because rather than a rising crescendo leading to the love confession, we get this roller coaster of high drama and casually discussing Sue’s son. No matter the length of the post, only one conversation should be happening in it per pairs/groups of characters talking to one another.

Descriptive posting tips

Further posts will go into detail, but for the intro — and because this has gotten lengthy already — here’s a quick start for stretching your posts out effectively:

Internal thoughts. This is a tricky one, because your writing partner can’t respond to your character’s thoughts. However, cluing them in to what your character is thinking and how they feel can provide fun insight. You can typically get away with more internal monologuing in RP than in novel writing, because people love to read about how their characters are perceived and to get all the nitty gritty on the ship dynamics. Just make sure to throw in actionable dialogue in your response!

Set the scene. You don’t need to dump exposition or describe the minutia of the surroundings. Instead, consider what might best paint the picture of the setting, and what’s most important to know. Focus on that, and make sure it doesn’t feel like a pair of people talking to one another inside a white void. Let your character’s behavior act as a clue: “She dipped her chin underneath her scarf,” or, “She rubbed her hands together then tucked them into the pockets of her jacket.” Remember to go beyond the visual! Think about the temperature, the cleanliness/tidiness of the surroundings, the smells, the atmosphere.

Action beats. A lot is said in the unsaid when two people are talking.

“What’s wrong?” Hal asked.

”Nothing.” Sue’s lips smiled, but her eyes didn’t. She shook her head and her eyes turned glassy. “Nothing at all.”

“Did you hear that?” Sue asked.

Hal heard it. He swallowed thickly, but said nothing. There was no second-guessing the heavy footfalls in the barn attic — no way that was Bobby Jr. up there. His father had come home.

[upsidedownapple]

The tsams community is so fucking toxic. I've only been on tumblr since, like may or something, and I've seen,

Insest ships

Aphobia

People tagging what is clearly tsams as fnaf

People getting mad over ships for no reason

People harassing others who don't ship what they ship

People getting mad at roleplayers like my friend @//escapetheslaughter

And now the whole biased confession blog stuff

This is just what I can think of off the top of my head. Seriously, people, stop. There are MINORS like myself in this community.

[the-haunted-office]

A little confession from the mun, with it being munday, and I felt like opening up about it.

Something that I feel insecure about a lot is, I get worried that people in the roleplay community think that I don't find their muses interesting because my muses don't express physical or sexual interest in theirs, because I know how big of a thing that is in the rpc. It's okay that that's a big thing in the rpc, I'm not knocking that at all, but it's true that the majority of my muses don't comment much on physical appearances or come onto people right away or easily or flirt as openly and that sort of thing. I just hope that people don't take that as meaning that I personally am not interested in their muse or don't find them interesting, because I feel like some people in the past have taken it that way.

My muses are more geared towards getting to know other muses on a more personal and intellectual level, and admittedly that's largely due in part because that's how I operate as a roleplayer. Like, I'm open to shipping and all, but I also thrive more on the plotting and world-building and relationship building end of things. I love putting our muses together into deep introspective threads where they really get to pick at each other's brains and inner-workings and go out and do things together and get into trouble together.

But yeah. Take it from me, even if my muses think yours is cute or pretty or even if they're attracted to yours sexually, they're not likely to express it in an overt way. They're likely to be more subtle about it. And I really really hope you guys don't take that as me personally not thinking your muses are interesting! Like I said, it might sound silly for me to be saying this here and now, but I have had past experiences where people have taken it personally that myself and/or my muses weren't explicitly commenting on the physical appearance of their muse or openly flirting with them, and it's made me a little insecure myself I guess.
