Surprise!
On a whim, I decided to spruce up the main a little bit. We now have a new format for our RESIDENTS PAGE to better feature our lovely members! After some snooping I also discovered we needed to still correct the boroughs pages so they’re now functioning and linked properly. It’d be lovely to see some more POCs added to our family, too. We have a severe lacking of them and would love just more people to love here in our group in general.
Hope you guys like it and (don’t forget) HAPPY FALL!

IMPORTANT
Everyone! We need your help because it would appear people’s information is somehow disappearing from our pages. Could you all check for us HERE, HERE, and HERE to make sure all your and your characters’ infos are in there. If they aren’t, please send them into the main and let us know. It happened a little earlier and appears to have struck again. Please like this post to be sure we know everyone has reviewed all this as well and we can get it all sorted. Thank you in advance!
Also, you might want to keep a watch out for your flagged posts. Tumblr also seems to be cracking down on nonsensicle reasons. It’s right under each blog stuff under “Review Flagged Posts” to make sure replies aren’t being hidden. Or if someone hasn’t replied to you in a while, you can try asking because that might be the case as well for them.
#blbcadmin#blbcimportant#admin lil#idky it's doing this but UGHksjdfheu#just send us in the info and we'll put it in for you lovelies <3

PSA: Bubble Rping
Hello, lovelies. We are having a major issue with bubble rping and wanted to make a quick post to remind people what that is.
Bubble Roleplaying is when one character consistently talks to the same few characters and rarely deviates from this small group. This could be a ‘ship’, a select group of close friends, or even just one other person your character really gels with. It’s common in roleplaying as a whole because, hey, our characters might mesh well with other certain personalities, and we might have made some really cool connections with certain characters. And that’s okay! Having those connections, whether they be friends, romantic interests, or exes with drama, help create fun and exciting RP opportunities!
The problem is, we are seeing a LOT of characters only replying to maybe one character and that’s it. Threads are getting dropped or forgotten about. We understand this can happen, but BLBC is supposed to be a roleplay where we can all create unique character connections and foster an open and friendly community. And that means replying to people outside of your friend groups, and replying to people outside of your ship. We all could stand to reach out more to characters we haven’t plotted with before, and we’re all guilty of playing favorites to some degree! If your character only interacts with their romantic interest and that’s it, then you are bubble rping.
We will be enforcing this as best we can. Our recent activity checks have included people who only talk to one person for 3 days straight, as well as those who have not been online at all. And we will reach out with a private warning if we see this issue in characters. Please remember: we use a list of starters that we reblog all the time and update (since the starter tag doesn’t really work any more). If you ever need help finding plots, want a connection, or just need to brainstorm ways to get your character out there more, let us know! We’re here to help.

Attention, members! Possible Task/Event.
For a while now, us admins were trying to recoop from our July 4th fallout and spit ball ideas with each other. We’ve come up with an option that we hope most of you will like. A task/Event combo for the Harry Potterverse! There would be a detailed questionnaire/bio to fill out for the task and generally how your muse would live within the magical realm J.K. Rowling has created. Along with this, on September 1st would be a 2 week optional AU event to set everyone at Hogwarts.
There are a couple options that also come with this.
One is, we’ve have 6th and 7th years for students so as not to severely underage everyone as well as incorporate professors and staff members for those wishing to teach or just keep their ages.
Or, two, having everyone claim a spot as professors and staff and just going of at that route.
As for any ideas of setting it within New York, it would be a much larger task on everyone’s part and due to all of us admins going through things, we figured we best do it on a small testing scale and who knows, try this option another time? What we really need from you all are your feedback! There would be first come first serve to the professors and all that, of course. We can’t have everyone teaching DATDA or even being all being a descendant of a Potter and so on. Details will be hashed and we’ll let you know mid month when to start sending in what you wish to be and more details on that along with it for options! For now, we ask that you all please go HERE and set in your votes. We’ll tally it within a week and let you know the results to proceed from there!
If this idea isn’t what you were hoping for, don’t worry, we’ll have other events and tasks coming on. As always, you’re more than welcome to offer up ideas for us to implement down the line, too! Thank you. <3

In light of a recent event, we just want to highlight a very important factor in our rules. We do NOT allow OOC drama/bullying at all in this rp. Bring all the dramarama you want to the muses to make it as juicy as you like but we're like a family here and protect our own. If you have issues with any of the other members or things like that, talk to them or go through us and we'll discover solutions. But anon hate and pot stirring is absolutely prohibited. Both from our members and outside parties. Basically, act like polite adults to all the fellow muns and if anyone is doing this to you, please come talk to use about it for solutions. We're here for each and every one of you and always have your backs.

Results are in!
With an overall winning vote of 49.37%, we’re doing the staff and student route for the AU! Thank you all for participating in the voting system.
We want to start by saying both the event and the task coupled together will be completely optional for everyone. The task will be a character sheet/survey of sorts just to help you flesh out your own characters and basically just to have fun with imagining them in the magical Hogwarts realm. It’ll be posted within a week or so before the actual event begins which’ll be on September 1st and last till the 14th. Ample time to interact with the other’s and explore possibilities of daily school life there! The time setting will also be present day.
Positions that can be taken will be on a first come, first serve basis and it can be located right HERE with regular updates. All you have to do to let us know is message the main directly on one of your accounts. Either through IM or submission or an ask and give us your character name(s) and the positions you wish (or the random phoenix wand core as it is the rarest) for each to fill. (EX: Logan Wolf, Prestigious Family, 7th year Slytherin Beater & Captain). We’ve linked some of the more confusing categories as well as all the classes professors can choose from so you can find out all the details you wish better by clicking right over their wording. If you have any other questions on the world so far you can always ask us or anyone in the Discord or OOC chat. I’m sure there’s wonderful knowledgeable members here happy to help. <3 Another precaution, you may want to add a 2nd option for what you want for your muse(s) as a safety net.
We’ll have reserves open as of RIGHT NOW and it’ll continue up until just before the event begins! This gives plenty of leeway time for everyone to get in or even change up their minds if and when they choose before it all goes down.
More details will probably released as they come. For now, if you have any further questions please feel free to ask and start sending in those reserves! We’ll put them all in for you guys!

Hey, lovelies! We just wanted to give a quick reminder that while we love having memes and stuff pop up. We ask that everyone limit the amount of meme posts they do to two a day maximum. This is to spread things out and not clog up dash. Thank you!

A little reminder out there to everyone: Some IC drama is fantastic. But when you go around spamming a certain muse over and over again spamming with hateful sayings, THAT is bullying and harassment. We have a ZERO tolerance for that sort of thing. We protect our own. So I suggest the person that does this stops it now or your ass is gone, simple as that. And we do have ways of weeding you out. Grow up and be kind. That is all.

Hey, guys! We’d like to just give a quick public announcement about activity checks. In order to get yourself in the clear once you’re on it, you must reply to two different people minimum in order to be counted as safe. This was a rule that the other admins didn’t implemented as strongly, but we will. It’s only to promote activity as well as social interactions. More love for all! Understanding this is sort of a change, we want to give a pass this week. That being said, the next check, if you don’t meet the requirements, you will be unfollowed. As always, real life can suck and if you need help or just a hiatus or both, please don’t hesitate to come to us and let us know.

Hello, everyone! A torch has been passed and with the sad departure of our former admins, a trio has risen to take on the tasks of keeping this beautiful place of muns and muses thriving. All three of us have been a part of this roleplay for a while. Growing just as fond of it and, more importantly, the people in it as the rest of you. We promise to do our best to make everyone feel safe and comfortable in this creative space as we find our groove with these roles. (Thank you in advance for your patience with this!)
What we wish to bring in fairly soon, along with the norm, is the old gossip blog, new events in which we’d be happy to hear ideas for, and suggestions for faces you might want to see brought to the rp for us to help get in those tags and try to stir up more beautiful people to join. And, whatever else may honestly come to mind; again, we’re very much of the opinion of open contact with each and every one of you! Please, never be shy about stating new ideas to bring to the table, problems we can help solve for you, and anything in between. We’re here for you, after all. Leading by the best examples we can set, as well.
With that, we’d like to personally introduce ourselves to all of you:
Admin Lil
Hey, booboos! I’m both super nervous and excited to be helping take the reins as it were with both these other two lovely beings. I have the utmost confidence in our teamwork that we’re all in good hands. Need anything at all from me and you can message us on the main, or even contact me on one of my children as I’m mostly on Tumblr more than discord (Lil#1687). Though, I’ll try my best to drop by on it every now and again. I hope to be the best admin I can for you guys, you all deserve it. <3
Admin Daisy
Hey yinz guys! I am super excited to be one of the three amazing people that is taking over the main. We are totally ready to take this on and make it the best rp it can be. If you ever want to contact me, just message me on one of my characters or message me on discord ( happilyeverdaisy #4772 ), but I prefer tumblr more than discord. I hope to make you guys proud and if you have ideas or anything, just let us know. I promise that we will make this the best rp in the world because you guys only deserve the best. <3
Admin Eli
Hiiii! I’m over the moon to be helping run this roleplay with two amazing people. All three of us have been in the RP for a long time, with many characters, wearing different hats, so having us at the forefront and here for you to help out with anything is so, so exciting! You can always contact me through the main, through any of my kids, or on Discord ( sproutastronaut #6895 ). We’ll be encouraging other members to let us know if they want to do something fun. Have an idea for an event? Let us know! Think we’d benefit from a gossip blog? Let’s talk about getting one started! We want to hear from you guys and that’s honestly what I’m most excited about- collabing with other RPers!

Quick reminder everyone! We know Tumblr is being a but when it comes to doubling up the replies from mobile to desktop replies. That being said, it’s important to remember to cut those posts AFTER you’ve reblogged it. Just scroll up to the top of the thread and click that little red X that appears in the top right corner. Yes, it only shows your post then but this insures the dash isn’t flooded with just one post and saves people lots of scrolling time. A pain, yes, but also a considerate thing for your fellow members. Thank you!

Due to a rather brilliant suggestion by one of our members, we’ve now added a starter link to the navigation page! It’s right under the ‘General’ category so you all can go there and click on it to hopefully help you search for the updated posts as they come, more easily.

We’ve noticed some of the rules might’ve been confusingly stated when it comes to activity and us implementing what was already in place. So, we suggest you check the details in the rules page pertaining to activity. Basically, we’re asking for each of your characters to interact with three characters minimum. Ideally, two or more muns as well, to avoid that pesky bubbling issue we’ve been talking about. We went more lax on this activity check, but next one we’re going harder with these conditions in mind. If you have any further questions or concerns or anything on the matter, we’d be very happy to hear and help work it all out, as usual! Much love. <3

Hello, beautiful cupcakes. Daisy, Eli, and I are currently about to scrounge up some ads to start working on getting more word out there for some other people to join this great family. We need you’re help though! Comment below with what FCs you’d love to see and interact with around here. The more diverse the better, after all! There is really no limit to the list you can give us as any and all names would be greatly appreciated.

We’re so proud to see this rp thriving and it really is thanks to each and everyone of you! A quick reminder, please be conscious of of the amount of music, musings, and picture posts that you’re putting up a day. There’s no real limit but there have been a lot on dash lately and we just ask to minimize that just a tad so it’s a little less cluttered. (Maybe queue a couple a day or something if that helps stretch them out!) With that in mind, you all keep being your awesome selves.

Hey, sweeties! I feel like I’ve missed putting a starter in our post (Forgive me.) and I wanted to take this as an opportunity to ask people that when you make starters to please send links to the main. It helps us make sure we don’t miss them when we might not be around and keep better track! We don’t want anyone left out. Also, if you made a recent one and it’s not up here, send that puppy in, too. Please and thank you! <3
