#aniroleplay

[yaboiozzy]

I'm gonna be real here. I hail from Deviantart, Aniroleplay, and Gaiaonline roleplaying. So I really have no idea what I'm doing here. I'm just copying what I've seen other people do.

Any tips would be appreciated because I really do want to get some rp partners.

[yagirlaki]

AAAAAAAAAAAA!!

I could barely tell it was AI! Fuck this!

[futurama]

you know lots of people are trying to guess where this could have taken place but none have yet to get it right! after myspace became completely unusable around 2010ish a lot of roleplayers migrated to a site called roleplayer.me where the events i described previously took place

back in 2013 i would go on a roleplaying website and i had a group of friends there who all rped gravity falls stuff and there was this dude who was our designated soos and he was the shit. anyway his profile disappeared one day out of nowhere and we all mourned him until he randomly came back a month later and we were all like soos!!! what happened dude where did you go! and he was like sorry dudes i was in jail

[diabolocracy]

My time in the MSN roleplay group gulags has me wondering how best to go about replicating it.

Discord servers just aren't the same as being able to make a separate messenger account for Blorbo McGee to fully get immersed. As in, once you log into, you're Blorbo McGee, IMing your pals, meeting up "face to face" in singles or group chats, doing shit that has IC consequences, everyone's got their own things going on, one on one chats weren't public and people's characters were sometimes blind-sided by this or that, persistent world bluh bluh type shit.

// People are sharing how long they've rped for so... I've been rping since 2003. I know, I know I'm old. I started on xanga, then went to MySpace until it died. Then I went to aniroleplay until discovering Tumblr(I still have one account on ani)

message in the timeline: 𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐃 𝐀𝐍 𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐉𝐈 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐌𝐘 𝐎𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐎𝐍 | @acoldsovereign : 🌌 canon divergencies + 🤹‍♀️ OCs related to canon characters + ⛓ RP timelines {{ you already know what time it isssss I 𝐀𝐂𝐂𝐄𝐏𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆

🌌 canon divergencies : I really have no problem with people going the canon divergent route. Sometimes it's something you HAVE to do even if you love that respected series with all your heart. I will say there are people that go a step too far with it, for instance let's say someone turns Videl into a super saiyan because she technically had saiyan DNA in her (Pan). Okay cool..that's your canon and I respect it but bitch don't force me into seeing your vision. Respect that it just won't be my vision. (disclaimer: I love Videl)

🤹‍♀️ OCs related to canon characters : I can't really be subjective to this one because if I like you I don't care give Trunks an extra brother in the future we'd vibe. Then I'd be that SAME person to tell a stranger with an OC related to my canon muse and then i'm supposed to play along like they've always been a thing?! Nah work for it. But honestly don't let THIS post discourage ya from making an OC or self-insert that's related to a canon character. After all you do it BECAUSE you love the media..just don't casually point it across and expect everyone to play ball is all i'm sayin.

⛓ RP timelines : Imma keep it a buck with y'all. I have NO idea what this meme means by RP timeline but if I had to make a guess it's askin' bout where I started until I eventually got here. So yeah, first roleplaying started on a social media-like site called Vidilife. Y'all whippersnappers ain't gonna know this, then from there I migrated to Myspace. That was where I roleplayed the most at the time...er if you could call what I did as roleplaying cause honestly it was just one liners and terrible grammar. From there it was a sight called Oneworldroleplay where I spent maybe eh a month or two? From there I migrated AGAIN to one site called Sitemodel which is like myspace where there are tons of roleplayers from different media coming together. From there it was another site called roleplayer.me and it's sister site aniroleplay, a few years after that my boy recommended I come here and I've been here for the last...Maybe 5 years??

Rules and terminology of roleplaying with people

While roleplaying is a fun medium that is mostly a free place for people to express their creativity, there are some rules, terminology and regulations that you would have to follow, to have a good reputation in the roleplay community, and if you want to attract experienced roleplayers to you.

Let's start off by a few sites I use to roleplay

SITES

Aniroleplay - a good place to roleplay, mostly consists of people playing original characters or characters from animated media.

Roleplay.me - much more populated than Aniroleplay, and quite fun, for me personally. My preferred rp site. You will find a fix of real life and animated characters on there, though most people play their original characters.

Flist - mostly adult rp site, but if you're looking for that? That's gonna be perfect. It can be a bit difficult to navigate at first, but after you get it, it's wonderful. The profile making is very in depth, so that's fun too.

Quotev - this is mostly a reading site, like wattpad, but what makes this different is the group option, which is mostly used by people to roleplay. This will be the most different style of roleplay, if you've never roleplayed before. I'll explain more later in the post. There are two methods to find a rp on here. Either write the Fandom you want in the Quotev search bar and go into group section, or write on the Google search bar Quotev directory and look through them. Roleplayers have made up directories to find rp groups much easier!

Tumblr - another unconventional rp platform. It's quite common for people to set up accounts as a character and interact with others like that. It's a fun way to interact with the community and at the same time, roleplay.

Those are the main places I roleplay on. Now, I want to share some of my "wisdom" about the unspoken rules I learned of rping with others and some terms you might encounter, which might confuse you.

RULES

- preferably, use third person. On cai you will most likely use second or first person to roleplay. That's a big no no for rping with real people. It makes your reply look cheap and most don't enjoy that format.

(example of pov writing)

First pov (I ate ice cream)

Second pov (you ate ice cream) (using you as the pronoun to talk about your character)

Third pov (he ate ice cream)

- make your reply descriptive, use various words. Don't use the same words, or make the reply simple. The fancier or better sounding the better. It makes people excited to reply, and makes them add more flavor to their text. People aren't like ai, they like substance.

- one paragraph and up. The more you write, the better. Sure, you can discuss to rp in shorter sentences, but the rp will grow stale and you will get dropped, or drop the person.

- space your stuff with paragraphs. Don't wrote everything in one huge block of text. It's hard to read and people will not want to rp if you make it hard for them

- don't rp in script. I'll explain what script is, but the rp usually gets stale fast, and no descriptive rper wants to rp with a scripter.

- don't interrupt 1x1 rps. I'll explain what that means later down. It's rude and you can get people mad at you.

- don't control what the other person does. It's annoying, and will quickly get you a bad reputation in the rp community, and you might start seeing that good quality rpers don't want to roleplay with you.

- There is a social dynamic in rp communities, especially aniroleplay and roleplay.me. If you are an asshole, impatient or create mary sue characters, you will start getting rejected for rps by high quality roleplayers.

- Be patient. These are people you're roleplaying with. They will not reply to you as quality as AI does. It might take hours, maybe a day or longer. It's just how this shit goes.

- Read the person's profile. They might have rules, original character information or just other stuff you might need to know before you can roleplay with them.

- Don't jump straight into a rp from the get-go, unless the account says they accept starter greetings. Discuss the rp beforehand and make sure your partner is okay with what you want to do. If you want to do nsfw roleplays, discuss it beforehand as many people are uncomfy with that sort of stuff.

- When discussing stuff outside of roleplay, add a little marker to make it clear you're talking out of character.

(Example)

-

()

[]

/\

- They are not your friends, so don't make the first message you write something like "hi, how're you?". You guys are here for rp, so get to the point. If they have rules, include that you read them, and if you have a specific idea you wanted to try with them, include that in the message. Make the rp idea no longer than 4 sentences, as you can discuss the details together later.

- Avoid sending prewritten greetings. It's very easy to notice when you are doing that, especially if it's a long message. If you have to gave a prewritten greeting, keep it short, and add more info to it, based on the profile you are contacting.

- Don't use text language in rp. It makes your reply seem cheap and can turn a lot of people off. It also takes out the soul of your reply.

(Example)

u

totes

lol

TERMINOLOGY

Double up - It's a style of roleplay where you play two point of views. One being your original character and the other is the love interest of your rp partner. This is a popular roleplay style on quotev.

(Example)

Mary walked down the street, sighing.

----

Bakugou was mad that he couldn't see him today.

1x1 - It's when you rp one on one with someone. It's in other words, a private roleplay.

group rp - It's when you roleplay with multiple people at the same time, in the same roleplay, each taking a role, and adding onto each other. *I don't personally like this, as it can get messy*

rp - stands for roleplay

pov - stands for "point of view". I explain the different povs in an earlier part of the post.

AU - Alternative universe.

"You add, you message first" - Something you will often see on accounts that take a more serious approach to roleplaying. It means that If you add them, you will have to message them first, or they will delete you out of their friend list.

Script - It's a style of writing.

(Example)

John: I guess that's weird

Descriptive - It's a writing style

(Example)

John sighed, shrugging his shoulders. "I guess that's weird"

Mary sue/Gary stu - cliche characters that usually make your character overpowered, or not fit in the setting at all.

godmodding - Taking control of your partner's character. Very frowned upon.

IC - It means "In character". It means the person will talk to you as their character.

OOC - It means "Out of character". This person will talk to you simply, not playing their roleplaying character.

OC - It means "Original character". It's the character you play, if you create them.

Admin - A term used when a person has more than one rp account. It's usual that you only contact and rp with one of the accounts under that one admin.

I hope this helps. If anyone has any questions, or need any help or anything related to roleplaying with real people, feel free to dm me!

[justiceiswrath]

I wanted to talk about my Roleplay existence and how got here today because I was laying awake yesterday as one does when they can't sleep and this made think about all of this.

FACEBOOK ERA: So I started RPing on facebook as teenager with no friends and....like RPing there was like wild west man. We were unhinged and I didn't write very well (Still write very well but, eh)

Aniroleplay Era: All my facebook RP friends died out and well...I moved to site called Aniroleplay and...I had alot while adventure there but, I met some of the MOST toxic Roleplayers I have ever had there but, to be honest I do remember it being wild RIDE.

Tumblr ERA (Current): I moved here after Aniroleplay kind of died or al least crowd I rped with. Tumblr been a bit of messy ride too but, I have had enjoyable moment.

I would love to hear how some of you all started your adventures into RP land.

[astralfist]

Dash Game: Behind the Mun

Name: Celes

Most Active Muses: Craig, sometimes Christophe, and some muses on my multi (Tweek mostly, though aside from him probably sometimes Enjolras and Moze)

Experience: Uhhhhhhhh.... xanga???? Myspace... Does facebook count????? I think I kinda tried to write on gaiaonline before. MSN, skype, AOL... I was also on a Fire Emblem RP forum, but I don't remember the website. It's probably dead anyway. Aniroleplay, oneworldrp (idek if that's a thing anymore, but anirp and owrp are basically myspace 1.0). There was also sitemodel which was the same as anirp and owrp, but I think that site got hacked long ass time ago??????? idr. I'm kinda old btw.

Fluff, Angst, or Smut: I'm a huge sucker for angst. Fluff is good too. I am strictly selective on smut.

Long or Short Replies: IDK it kinda depends on the thread????? I try to match lengths with my partner. Sometimes I'll write short replies. Sometimes it might be long replies. -shrugs-

Pet Peeves: DON'T FUCKING GIVE ME ONE-LINERS. If it's just mere shenanigans, sure. But for threads???? NO! BAD! I WILL DROP THE THREAD IMMEDIATELY! If y'all really dunno how to respond to our thread(s), I'd rather the thread just be dropped tbh.

Are You Like Your Muse: Well... I'd be lying if I said Craig wasn't really a mood for me LOL. Not saying we're EXACTLY alike either though, but Craig is a guy who tends to be tired of people's bs, and well, that's a big mood for me too lololol. This still does not mean I'm Craig and Craig is me, even though I cosplay the guy. I am me. Craig is... Craig. The guy that's known to flip people off.

Time to Write: I'd say barely or rarely now. I use to have a lot of freetime to write before I became a friggin adult. But now... I barely or rarely have time to write these days :( Also hence me being selective cuz I'm not always around. I'm slow as hell with replies ic or even ooc. Sometimes I also get overwhelmed that I take a break for who knows how long.

This is actually a question for Mun, if you don't mind!

I'm putting together a roleplay blog myself, and I was wondering if you had any advice? I've never put myself out there in roleplay beyond accumulating small rp communities/friends on Discord, and I'm kinda intimidated by being Perceived on a platform as big as tumblr /lh

Advice on making the blog appealing to other roleplayers and any general rp advice you'd be willing to share would be very appreciated <3

|| Hi there! I don't mind a single bit! Sorry for the delay, I wanted to make sure I made sense and gave you good information :)

First off, it's so awesome that you're looking to start a roleplay blog! I am huge on encouraging people to write and join the hobby, and it's always nice to see new writers getting started and sharing ideas!

As silly as it sounds, my biggest piece of advice is to NOT be intimidated. Don't be afraid to put yourself out there, follow characters in your fandom, share things, post your HC/drabbles/favorite ships/ideas/storyline ideas etc and reach out to other writers or groups for interactions! The more friendly you are, and the more you put your writing out there, the more traction you'll receive as opposed to just lurking around and liking stuff here or there. : ) I'm still new to roleplaying on Tumblr, but the first thing I did when I decided to make a blog here was look at other writers to get a general idea for how my blog should be set up. It's helpful for a writer to see right off the bat who your character is/their fandom/the writers writing style, and rules. Some writers are very cautious about writing with minors and won't interact if you don't have your 'age bracket' right on the front page where they can see it. Your blog doesn't have to be super big or flashy, but I always like seeing a writer with open starters posted, a simple list of rules and hashtag categories so I can easily find something if I look on their page. But the main thing I look for are recent posts with active writing! Someone can have the coolest blog in the world, but if they don't write it's kind of a let down! Even if it's timeline banter-- which I absolutely adore-- it shows you're an active writer, and that's what we're looking for. : ) Other general roleplay advice is this; Don't be afraid to check out other platforms. Tumblr is big, yes but there are other platforms/sites/forums you can write on! If you're on Discord and not opposing to branching out, you can search for your fandom (Disney roleplay for example) on Disboard and it will show you different roleplay groups listed there. When I first started with Kuzco and realized how dead the fandom was, I made an account everywhere. Here, Twitter, Facebook, Roleplayer.me, Aniroleplay etc. And I just started posting. IC statuses, drabbles, headcanons-- whatever came to mind, and started following as MANY people in related fandoms as I could find. You slowly build your friends up as you go, and can branch out and sometimes form connections between characters you never thought would cross paths, which is a lot of fun. I'd also say to keep in mind that it is ALL about the QUALITY not the QUANTITY. If you can write 1500k+ words each reply? That's awesome! But if you can write a beautifully descriptive reply in 500 words, that's just as amazing! Don't pressure yourself to do more than you can just to make someone else happy! Work at your own pace. Last but not least; HAVE FUN WITH IT! There's always something new to learn, but don't be afraid to jump right in and get your feet wet. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help you as well, I'd be more than happy to in whatever way I can!

TGIF!!!

Every Friday, Sea of Sin RPG has their Verdict Day. It's on this day that we sort through auditions and by Midnight, CST, you get your answer.... We have a base site on roleplayer.me, as well as on aniroleplay... We have a public discord server for potential members interested in learning more about our rpg, and then we have the place for our members.... A members only discord server, as well as my privately owned forum site to write on. We accept, most verses. The verses we don't accept simply have no place within the Sea of Sin universe that we have created, or they are triggers for one or more of the members. The best way to learn what we have, in a quick ideal manner, is to check out our discord, where we can get to you much more quickly and of course offers you the opportunity to speak to our existing members. Along with allowing most verses, we accept most genres, and respect both within their worlds. For example... We do have roughly 7 different types of wolves, wolf packs they are in, and within the locations they live. Witches and vampires are the same. Obviously our Twilight vampires/wolves are not the same as The Original ones. Perks of being a member: - You can have multiple characters. - You can bring in original characters. - You can bring in Gotham characters. - You can bring in Marvel/DC characters. - You can aid with story-lines, events etc.

Our Activity Checks are perhaps the easiest you'll get short of those rpgs that don't have an AC at all. Discord us to learn more!

Get to Know the Mun!

———  BASICS! ♡

(PEN)NAME: Sleepy, or just Jessica if we’re on a personal basis.

ZODIAC SIGN: Gemini

TAKEN OR SINGLE: Happily married to some Scotsman I met on this hellsite

THREE  FACTS! ♡

1: My very first RP experience was over ye-olden YouTube, when channels were more personalized and you could leave tons of comments. I was 11-12ish, so that was certainly an experience. For the record, it was Pokémon related. Yes, I was fucking awful.

2: I'm a mother of two beautiful babies under two (a boy and a girl). Once you get past the learning curb of caring for a naughty toddler and a dependent infant, raising small children gets easier as the months go by. Just need to get my son to stop tossing his food off his high chair when he decides he doesn’t want to eat no more.

3: Never ask me about anything Pokémon mystery dungeon related. You will be subjected to 100 years of endless info dumping about my love for that series. This also goes for Viva Piñata; my soul cries as I am the only fan left alive to speak it’s name before the series dies it’s last death. C’mon Rare, you know ya want to revive the fucking IP.

——— EXPERIENCE! ♡

PLATFORMS USED: Tumblr primarily, Discord secondary, Twitter (tried and failed + Lots of horny players), and aniroleplay (SEXPESTS UNITED DOT COM)

PLOTTING / WINGING IT / MEMES: Winging it most of the time, DEF prefer if we plotted to get a solid story going. Memes? That depends if it’s just a warm up or part of a plot, or maybe we’re just winging it for a day.

———  MUSE  PREFERENCE! ♡

GENDER: I’d say I finally found my balance of rping as both genders after maaaany years of playing exclusively males. Thank u Honey, ya broke the curse.

LEAST FAVOURITE FACECLAIM(S): I guess I don’t bode well with anyone using IRL face claims. Just a little weird imo, but I ain’t going to stop no one from using one.

———  FLUFF / ANGST / SMUT! ♡  

FLUFF: Not something I’d often do, but boy do I crave it. Please, a little morsal goes a long way.

ANGST: YEAH BABY, always down for it!

SMUT: For personal reasons, this is restricted to Discord depending on who may ask. NSFW memes do not count, but if it were to become a thread? Needs to go straight into DM’s.

[roleplaypositivity]

Ever since i discovered this blog. I have never stopped finding the time to come and take a look at what gets shared, and if i can share my own experiences and give a little positivity to those that genuinely wish to share or receive any. I notice the refresh of the blog and I'am rooting for you and your friend, Peachy!

So…

I would like to share, how beautiful and magical roleplay is. The amazing surprises that comes with connecting with others to the point that you form, unbreakable long term friendships. Especially growing together with your writing partner + best friend of 15+ years, give or take.

I've been roleplaying for as far back as i can remember. And it's been a great way to escape the harsh realities of life. As well as aided in learning and understanding phrases and words I would never have known any other way. I can say, that roleplay is bot a stunning hobby and a tool of growth, through knowledge and creativity. Speaking of! The beauty is within the fact that you can create, develop and have your character grow alongside others or more. Here's to a beautiful year of memories and good vibes! This blog is truly inspiring me to once again see the good in other roleplayers - of course, among the new people i have been interacting with in the rp verses I have been vibeing in. Much love and appreciation! This blog is also inspiring me to make a community page, for Aniroleplay. I just have not yet decided! >w<

❤️❤️❤️

This is so lovely! I hope everyone can read it over and take something away from it. Keep creating. Keep thriving! And if you do make that page give us a follow! We would love to show support!

[diabolocracy]

I wish there were more Undertale & AU roleplayers on Aniroleplay.

[phantasmalnightmare]

NAME?: Phantasma

PRONOUNS?: She/her

MOST ACTIVE MUSES?: Currently, Gundham, Mikey, and Bakugo. I've been writing Gundham on and off for a loooong time and have used him often, and in group RPs. Mikey has been pretty popular, as I have two different threads with him. Bakugo I've been using on discord mainly for my Hinata and our crossover crack ship that's become so cute lol. Junko I use fairly often as well. I wish I had a chance to use more of my muses though, really!

EXPERIENCE/HOW MANY YEARS?: This always makes me feel old LOL but I've been RPing for 20 years now. I started on xanga, a blog site, as Bankotsu from Inuyasha. I just one line god modded everyone, but it was fun. After a couple of years, I begrudgingly moved to myspace cause everyone else did, and I really got the hang of RP. I learned to do multi para/novella and really develop my characters. After the death of myspace, I tried aniroleplay and made some friends that I still have there, but then I found tumblr and thought it was a unique style of RP and fell in love.

FLUFF, ANGST, OR SMUT?: Fluff and angst are definitely my favorite things to write. I think I like fluff just a bit more, but it needs the angst and the drama to make it better. I love writing slow burn romance, as well as dark and messed up stuff. Smut.. I will do and I can enjoy, but only after I've built up a slow burn romance and it ends up leading to that.

LONG OR SHORT REPLIES?: Long! My default is 3 but I can definitely do more than that. I can work with two for sure if that's what my partner wants. I really, really struggle with less than that though. Funny enough, I can get writers block much more easily with shorter things, because I don't have enough to go off of in order to determine where the story is going.

PET PEEVES?: Most of the stuff on my rules really lol. Rushing me for a reply: This is a hobby, not a job. Luckily, most people I RP with are more patient then I deserve. Starting drama: It's RP and I've never understood why there always has to be drama. Telling me to block or unfollow someone because YOU have a problem with them. Not cutting your posts, because then I have to endlessly scroll through them. And the #1 pet peeve: Asking me to write a starter and then never replying. I put a lot of thought into my starters and make them at least 3 paras, so it's such a waste of my time.

ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE?: The vast majority: no. I enjoy writing characters who are very different from me, since the whole point of RP is writing as someone who you aren't. However, I would say I'm pretty similar to Aqua, Akane, and Robin.(Funny enough, they are my 3 muses at the bottom of my muse page in a row). I'm a logical thinker and an old soul. I'm also kind, empathetic, and I care about my loved ones like crazy.

TIME TO WRITE?: Usually in the afternoon, or early evening. I work mornings, so I sometimes write when I get home from work, or if I go to the gym after work, then even later.
