#and a rody soul muse in bnharp

[disaster-catalyst]

I'm mostly going to be talking filo anirp twitter, but I think this goes for any social media I've roleplayed in

so I've actually been roleplaying for YEARS now but dropped it after being constantly harassed at how I portray the character (which, back then, used to be an oc :/) and just picked it back up a year ago after finding the filo side of hqrp and let me tell you it's fucking GREAT.

one of the best things I've seen there are 'bases.' I'm not sure if this is also in intl rpw but over here we have bases for people interested in certain aus or just wants to be part of a group. the admins/founders of said bases typically have strict rules that need to be followed to keep the community a safe space for everyone. I've met some of my closest friends there and am actually managing one right now with them :D.

and along with all of that, people in filo rpw try their best to keep the WHOLE community a safe place. since most of the time roleplayers of age and underaged interact with each other, it's an unspoken rule to respect each others boundaries (especially when it comes to sensitive topics) and keep the mun out of things, typically that is.

we may had our issues there, like, a stupid lot of them, but we were able to help each other and move past them.

and this isn't even mentioning the roleplays themselves! muns dedicate lots of time to the aus (if there is any) they give to their muses/ports. ones I can mention have to be the music related aus where plenty of covers being posted ranging from guitar, to drums, to vocals. although you don't have to put this much effort into your aus (I don't personally), they are definitely great and are well appreciated!

plus, character portrayal isn't an extremely large deal here unless you put strictly in character in your bio. and even with that you don't really get problems from other people about it. same with the way you roleplay, with desc lit, semi lit, and non lit being optional for everyone! you don't have to reply to a desc lit post with just desc lit and you won't be harassed for it either (which I've seen happen too many times now in intl rpw).

honestly, some of the few problems I have with it are the toxic relationships being formed sometimes and the amount of people lying about their age but we're trying to fix that problem too. :)

I could go on for a while with how much I love filo rpw, but I think this is an adequate enough appreciation post for it. To filipinos with an interest for roleplay, come visit filo anirp/rpw on twitter. And if you're not filipino, then use this post as basis for rpw communities you're in! have a fun and safe roleplaying experience everyone

the filipino side of rpw is the most stressful but also the most fun and accepting place I've been in actually
