[a-hell-of-a-time-archive]

Respond to the following prompts out of character, then tag others you'd like to get to know a little bit better.

Roleplayer name: Jo

Roleplayer pronouns: She/Her (also receptive to they/them)

Muse name(s): Andrealphus, Octavia, Dawn (OC), Caim (OC), Yui (OC), Yukitaka (OC), Peter White (HNKNA hellaverse crossover), Shuren (Bleach Hellaverse crossover)

Preferred communication: Discord, Tumblr DM's

Experience: I've been roleplaying since 2009, and on Tumblr since 2011. I am still fairly new to this RPC (About 7-8 months now?) but not new to rp'ing itself! I've been in many fandoms and rp groups during my time on here, and my main blog is a collection of my muses to date (my most active and cherished ones, actually).

Preferred roleplay type: Anything goes by me, but I prefer crackier, shorter styles of roleplay. However, I will not say no to multi para/novella type rp's (they will take longer for me to answer though!) I also love angst, fluff, and everything in between and am a huge shipper.

Pet peeves & dealbreakers: Anything that's in my rules that I won't touch with a ten foot pole, along with the basics (godmodding, forced shipping, etc etc.) I also don't like people who are into drama and live for callout posts/reblogs, especially if they are not serious in nature or something that could have been handled privately via ooc communication. Unless the person is legitimately dangerous (aka a known pedo/groomer/abuser, etc. I do not give a rat's ass what people do with fiction and will block shit I hate like a normal person. Leave me out of it. Also: Do not bring me drama involving people who have changed/are in the process of changing, and do not dictate who I follow/don't follow. I will make my own decisions with my own judgment because I am an adult. I am far too old for this shit and have too much irl bullshit to deal with as it is.

Basically, do not be a pushy asshole, a bigoted asshole, or an asshole in general and read/adhere to my rules and we will be fine.

Best time to write: Whenever I get a day off and sleep, so usually some evenings and weekends!

Are you like your muse? Not 100%. I will put bits of myself into each of my muses, or see bits of myself reflected in them, but I will never be any of my muses.

hello all!! this is a roleplay blog for gojo satoru from jujutsu kaisen, written by milk. on my pinned post, you'll find all relevant links/info here for my blog. though i am not completely caught up with the manga (i've read up to around chapter 180), i have a general idea of what is currently going on up to the most recent chapters. if i'm not here, you can find me on one of my other blogs: @blastintriumph @muryonokansei

please be sure to read my rules before interacting/following.

for ease of access, my rules are placed under the cut!

I will interact with mutuals only. If I follow you I want to interact, so don’t hesitate to send me asks or IM me with plot ideas! I’m willing to RP with OCs & characters from other series. Personal blogs, please do not follow/reblog/like my posts.

I’m okay with one-liners, crack, multi-para, novella… everything! Feel free to send in any ask memes if we haven’t roleplayed before. Ask memes are a great way to break the ice so I really don’t mind. If I follow you that means I want to rp with you so if you’re ever unsure and worried you might be bothering me, don’t. I’m duplicate friendly.

If I haven’t replied in two weeks (and I’m not on a hiatus) that means I probably lost our thread or it’s sitting somewhere in my drafts and I haven’t noticed it, so please message me to remind me about it. I won’t be annoyed or upset. I drop RPs sometimes out of a loss of interest but please don’t blame yourself. It is always a personal thing that has nothing to do with anyone else as a roleplayer. I’m always happy to start/write more regardless of dropping previous threads.

I have some ships i might gravitate to, but I prioritize chemistry above all where RP is concerned. For now, my blog is multi-ship, so any relationship my muse develops will be in a separate verse unless stated otherwise.

Don't involve me with drama or send messages telling me to reblog callout posts or anything like that. I don't care for getting involved with petty rp drama. If it's something actually serious, I've likely already seen it on the dash and have taken note. Seriously, I will hardblock anyone that pesters me with nonsense drama.

There will be NSFW content on this blog so if you’re uncomfortable with that just blacklist the the following tags, as i tag all my nsfw posts with the following: “cw nsfw”, “nsfw //”, and “( nsfw. )”. Additionally, I will cover dark topics. There will be mentions of murder, blood/gore, toxic/unhealthy relationships and so on featured on my blog. I will of course tag what I feel needs to be tagged. Feel free to ask me to tag anything you need tagged.  I am 26, so if a roleplay should ever come around to it I will only write smut with partners that are also of age & that I feel comfortable writing smut with. If you’d rather not roleplay smut publicly, I’m cool with continuing roleplays on discord. I’m also open to just private RPs (not necessarily smut) on discord too, just ask/lmk you’re interested!

Finally, I ask that minors DON’T follow my blog/DNI. I don’t want to be the reason anyone sees something inappropriate for their age. If you’re a minor & I accidentally followed you, let me know & I’ll unfollow you immediately.

(For the mun questions meme! Have you ever written a canon muse that you first thought of ‘meh’ when they appeared in their canon show/movie/book? Who is your favorite OC? Have you ever developed a ship based on writing with a certain other character / mun?)

Questions for the mun.

Have you ever written a canon muse that you first thought of ‘meh’ when they appeared in their canon show/movie/book?

Hm. I want to say definitely, I'm sure I remember doing that... but it took me a while to actually place any characters who match that definition. I think a couple of main examples would have to be, firstly, Janja (Lion Guard), who I played on one site for a little bit; I hadn't found him a compelling character at all when I'd watched the show, but decided to try him there for whatever reason and found him surprisingly fun to write as.

The other would probably be Flutt.ershy (ML.P). I mean, granted, I kinda first thought "meh" about the entire show when I first learned about it and only started watching it because someone told me that I was most like Twilight out of the cast so I got curious; but I know Flutt.ershy took me longer to warm up to than any of the others. Then at some point she abruptly grew on me (was it because of a certain episode that made me like her more? I honestly don't remember) and - after previously only having written her Discord-corrupted mean version as a joke character once - I played as her on several sites in rapid succession because of that!

Who is your favorite OC?

Of my own OCs... I think I know who everyone's probably expecting me to say, since Lauren's the only OC I have on this blog. But honestly I think the answer has to be Cinnamon, from my doggie characters story idea. Cutie little mail delivery puppy who's super serious about her job but also a big sweetheart, I just love her so much :D

Have you ever developed a ship based on writing with a certain other character / mun?

Oh, for sure. I know for just one example, Margo / Antonio (Desp.icable Me) was one. I started Margo's blog absolutely convinced that I was never going to play any such relationship between the two after the way he ditched her in canon... and yet, interacting with this one Antonio roleplayer, bouncing them off each other, I just really came to love the dynamic we were building; and by the time she reached the point of forgiving him when he was genuinely regretful, I was fully on board shipping it! (Albeit only with that one mun; writing with anyone else who portrayed the character would definitely have had to start from step one all over again.)

I mean, come to think of it, that was where my absolute OTP Patch/Angel ship came from too! I'd never even considered the characters together before they began bouncing off each other with Patch's first player on that one site; but even though I was still VERY much a RPing newbie at the time, and I would cringe to look back at those posts now, every interaction the two of them had made me fall in love with them as a pair. Thirteen-and-a-half years later I'm still shipping them, so you could say it definitely left an impression on me! xD

I practice character-exclusive shipping, so I will only ship with one version of a character. My deku is @mightiboy and my todoroki is @celesticlnstcrs, so they are the only deku and todoroki i'll ship with. Additionally, @mightiboy is my exclusive deku period, so they're the only deku i will write with.

Although I am 27 years old, I won't be writing explicit smut on this blog. Suggestive jokes might appear, but nothing explicit. Non-sexual nsfw (heavy or triggering topics, violence, etc.) will be present and tagged. That being said, I have no issues with others writing it and I don't have any triggers I need tagged. If you do, please feel free to ask and I will tag anything you need.

guidelines

i will interact with mutuals only. if i follow you, i want to interact, so do not hesitate to send me asks or im me with plot ideas! i'm willing to roleplay with ocs, and characters from other series. for personal blogs: please do not follow/like/reblog my posts. doing so will result in an immediate block. i’m okay with one-liners, crack, multi-para, novella… everything! feel free to send in any ask memes if we haven’t roleplayed before. i’m duplicate friendly.

if i haven't replied in two weeks and i'm not on hiatus, that means i probably lost our thread or it’s sitting somewhere in my drafts and I haven’t noticed it, so please message me to remind me about it. i drop roleplays sometimes out of a loss of interest but please do not blame yourself. it is always a personal thing that has nothing to do with anyone else as a roleplayer. i’m always happy to start/write more regardless of dropping previous threads.

Don’t god mod. My character is mine, and yours is yours. Little things to move the thread along are fine with me, but don’t kill Childe without even checking if that’s fine with me first (ask memes that call for it are an exception though, of course).

where RP is concerned i heavily prioritize chemistry. for now, my blog is multi-ship, so any relationships my muse develops will take place in separate verses unless stated otherwise. that being said, i absolutely love shipping but i think childe (the way i portray him, at least) is kinda difficult to ship with romantically so keep that in mind.

DON'T involve me with drama OR send messages telling me to reblog callout posts or anything like that. i don't care for getting involved with petty roleplay drama. if it's something actually serious, i've already seen it on the dash and taken note. seriously, i will hardblock, anyone that pesters me with this nonsense.

There will be NSFW content on this blog so if you’re uncomfortable with that just blacklist the the following tags, as i tag all my nsfw posts with the following: “cw nsfw”, “nsfw //”, and “( nsfw. )”.  Feel free to ask me to tag anything you need tagged.  I am 26, so if a roleplay should ever come around to it I will only write smut with partners that are also of age & that I feel comfortable writing smut with. If you’d rather not roleplay smut publicly, I’m cool with continuing roleplays on discord. I’m also open to just private RPs (not necessarily smut) on discord too, just ask/lmk you’re interested!

Given that Childe is a morally gray character, I will not stray away from this nature of his or soften it in the slightest. Even though he is a playable character in game and a friend to the traveler, he is still unapologetically a harbinger and doesn’t show remorse for his actions. I will approach writing his character with this mentality. Additionally, I will cover dark topics. There will be mentions of murder, blood/gore, toxic/unhealthy relationships and so on featured on my blog. I will of course tag what I feel needs to be tagged. 

I ask that minors DON’T follow my blog. I don’t want to be the reason anyone sees something inappropriate for their age. If you’re a minor & I accidentally followed you, let me know & I’ll unfollow you immediately. 

[straye]

the salty af munday meme. (reformatted from here!)

☠ What does someone have to do for an instant unfollow from you? untagged / uncut smut roleplay, any display of bigoted or hateful views, guilt-trippy words, vagues, pity fishing. new one bug misgendering me (she/her and they/them are NOT my pronouns: I LITERALLY HAVE MINE LISTED EVERYWHERE), making jokes or fun of my name (newsflash: yin yang jokes are actually racist when i'm asian.) i've developed very low tolerance levels for all of this.

♥ What's the WORST thing that has happened to you rp wise? uhhh that one time a duplicate (who was an adult) stalked and tried to turn an entire community against me when i was sixteen because I wouldn't give in to covert measures at discouraging me from writing this specific character. and then ANOTHER duplicate of that same character tried to do the same thing but she went the extra mile to have her lackeys send anon hate while gaslighting me about it when i confronted her directly.

♦ What was a mildly annoying thing that has happened to you rp wise? Um. There's a conversation to be had about RPers preferences for cis male characters.

♢ Has anyone ever tried to steal your blog? Your headcanons? Icons? All that jazz YES. OH MY GOD. While I block all duplicates on a principle so I can avoid seeing it again, I've had it happened to me way back on the characters I played when I was 16 and it's like. WHY. YOU'RE EVEN FOLLOWING ME AND THE SAME PEOPLE I WRITE WITH TO DO THAT. Don't get me started on when I rped a character that was a popular fc among tumblr rps at the time because I'd find my icons on their blogs too and once I got so fed up that I just released all icons I used (shy of 900 total).

♚ How many people don't like you? I'm sure I've got plenty, but for my peace of mind, I'm not trying to think about it.

⚜ How many people do you not like? For everyone's peace of mind, I'd like to leave this one unanswered.

✮ Have you managed to stay away from drama? Somewhat. But because this place is that place, it inevitably crops up.

☄ Have you ever been in the middle of drama? Yes, but like, when I was sixteen.

☯ Have you ever tried to bring peace to a situation? Yes, and I got ganged up on for it.

☼ How long do you stay mad? Depends on the severity of the situation; I tend to hold grudges when I don't get apologies, though. ( And like, real ones. Not 'Oh, I didn't mean to do so and so. I'm sorry.' )

☀ What's your rp pet peeve? Triple space, purple prose, heavy font formatting, 5x5px icons. I ... don't have the best eyes, and a lot of people don't either. It gives me a message that people don't give a fuck about accessibility. I also hate when people use a lot of passive voice.

☁ Have you ever forgiven a partner when you shouldn't have? No, because the North remembers.

☂ Have you ever been forgiven when you knew you shouldn't have been? No, because I tend to not reconnect with people I've cut off and vice versa.

☢ What fads/trends are you so over? See my rp pet peeve. Can we PLEASE try to be accessible.

☣ Have you ever rp'd with someone you knew for a fact was abusive but tried to give them a chance/to make up your own opinion on the roleplayer? Did they change or did you understand what people were talking about? I'll do you one better: I dated one and rped with one and it was good for a year until I realized how much the callouts ended up actually being true of her behavior. (smiles) Needless to say....... sigh.

♨ Have you ever made a public call out post? No.

❀ What has made you completely lose your chill? Being gaslit when I tried to approach someone about something their friends were doing towards me. I don't expect you to be people's keepers but if your people are coming after me anonymously in your name, you can't just sit back and do nothing and tell me I'm overreacting like be serious.

✿ What do you think about public call out posts? They're good when they're necessary. They're dumb when the 'evidence' are the allegations themselves and not actual proof or just clear signs of stalking.

✂ A fandom that you feel isn't open and accepting? Idk. Most canons; they don't really care much for crossover interactions as much as they say they do, and they certainly don't care much for OCs.Some canon spaces don't even allow OCs.

✉ A fandom that you feel is open and accepting? OC 'fandom'(?) have my hearts. Other OC writers go above and beyond to help get some interactions going, and they're some of the strongest writers on the planet to keep going, despite how much this plaform has stacked against them.

✧ Do you agree with reblog karma or is it forced interaction? Considering I don't want people reblogging memes and stuff from me, I don't practice it. However, if I see a meme on my feed, I'll do my best to send something in to engage.

✖ How has Tumblr RP changed since you started? In ways, it's gotten better. While it's not by a huge margin, the fact that people are generally more enthusiastic at having marginalized characters or characters with these traits added to certain canon characters in their spaces says a lot about where we are in society. I also love that we're more quick to call out weird people and whitewashing. Where I was in Tumblr RP back in 2012-16, you couldn't really imagine much of this since it was kept under horny wraps. People also won't put straight up korn with the p on your feed without their proper tags the way they did back then, so that's a major plus.

Okay, I actually have a serious question. I'm working on making a new blog for Dmitry since i think the lack of updated aesthetics here might in fact be keeping people from interacting. There's also the fact that I've been focusing on other things rather than actively seeking out interactions like I intend to do, but that's not the point.

Anyway, as I work on the new blog setup and especially the aesthetics and graphics of it, I was wondering a few things concerning accessibility in particular.

I'd greatly appreciate input on this, as disability inclusion is very important to me.

Font options

Are tumblr's default font options for text posts accessible to low-vision users and users who rely on screen readers? i'm particularly thinking of the small font option and the colored text options, as well as the chat font:

This is a chat font sample.

I am aware that fancy unicode symbol "text" doesn't parse well with screen-readers and, from my own experience, can be difficult to read. I'm strictly referring to whatever text formatting can be done using Tumblr's built-in text editor and regular keyboard usage. I often write from my phone, so I'm aware of some readability issues with some formatting options people use (like extra spacing and indents), both in text posts and in outlinks such as carrd documents and the like.

Images

When it comes to graphics like on pinned posts and promo posts, or the header graphics people use in replies: is this a problem for screen readers? Additionally, for icon and gif usage in replies, how should alt-text address these?

Information Pages and Outlinks

I'll be real, most carrd pages and google docs I've seen are terrible in terms of accessibility. I flat-out won't write with people whose pages I can't read for this reason — if it won't open on my phone or it's micro-sized on my huge laptop screen, I won't bother. I'm very partial to Tumblr's own custom theme options, which allow pages to be added: it doesn't rely on third parties, you can format with HTML tags, it's always there, and it's neat and easy to link to. I intend to write my information pages on the custom theme most likely, but I'm wondering if there's been issues with opening those links. For example, would it be better to have a mobile version of the links where the information is on separate posts that can be navigated to? I don't know, just brainstorming here a little.

Bottom Line

As a roleplayer, how can I make my content more accessible for users —particularly visually impaired, but anyone's welcome to chip in— and what are common problems you've spotted in this regard?

hello all!! this is an indie, private, & highly selective roleplay blog for arlecchino from genshin impact. on this post, you’ll find all relevant links/info for my blog.  i am completely caught up with the archon quest, so this blog will not be spoiler free (i will tag if i mention leaks, though). if i'm not here, you can find me on one of my other blogs: @impishsensei @fatuispolaris @blastintriumph @muryonokansei @yuujitheevessel 

please be sure to read my rules before interacting/following.

carrd || interest check (wip) || pinned credit

for ease of access, my rules are placed under the cut!

i will interact with mutuals only. if i follow you, i want to interact, so do not hesitate to send me asks or im me with plot ideas! i'm willing to roleplay with ocs, and characters from other series. for personal blogs: please do not follow/like/reblog my posts. doing so will result in an immediate block. i’m okay with one-liners, crack, multi-para, novella… everything! feel free to send in any ask memes if we haven’t roleplayed before. i’m duplicate friendly.

if i haven't replied in two weeks and i'm not on hiatus, that means i probably lost our thread or it’s sitting somewhere in my drafts and I haven’t noticed it, so please message me to remind me about it. i drop roleplays sometimes out of a loss of interest but please do not blame yourself. it is always a personal thing that has nothing to do with anyone else as a roleplayer. i’m always happy to start/write more regardless of dropping previous threads.

Don’t god mod. My character is mine, and yours is yours. Little things to move the thread along are fine with me, but don’t kill my muse without even checking if that’s fine with me first (ask memes that call for it are an exception though, of course).

where RP is concerned i heavily prioritize chemistry. for now, my blog is multi-ship, so any relationships my muse develops will take place in separate verses unless stated otherwise. that being said, although i absolutely love shipping, arlecchino is absolutely someone that's difficult to ship with because it's not romance is nowhere near her list of priorities... sooooo it'd require a lot of build-up and work.

DON'T involve me with drama OR send messages telling me to reblog callout posts or anything like that. i don't care for getting involved with petty roleplay drama. if it's something actually serious, i've already seen it on the dash and taken note. seriously, i will hardblock, anyone that pesters me with this nonsense.

There will be NSFW content on this blog so if you’re uncomfortable with that just blacklist the the following tags, as i tag all my nsfw posts with the following: “cw nsfw”, “nsfw //”, and “( nsfw. )”.  Feel free to ask me to tag anything you need tagged.  I am 27, so if a roleplay should ever come around to it I will only write smut with partners that are also of age & that I feel comfortable writing smut with. If you’d rather not roleplay smut publicly, I’m cool with continuing roleplays on discord. I’m also open to just private RPs (not necessarily smut) on discord too, just ask/lmk you’re interested!

Given that arlecchino is a morally gray character, I will not stray away from this nature of hers or soften it in the slightest. Even though she is a playable character in game and a friend to the traveler, she is still unapologetically a harbinger. i will approach writing her character with this mentality. Additionally, I will cover dark topics. There will be mentions of murder, blood/gore, toxic/unhealthy relationships and so on featured on my blog. I will of course tag what I feel needs to be tagged. 

I ask that minors DON’T follow my blog. I don’t want to be the reason anyone sees something inappropriate for their age. If you’re a minor & I accidentally followed you, let me know & I’ll unfollow you immediately.

689803029405401088 I know that was going to be your last reply, and I'm not going to reply again either, because this is just going to go around in circles. But I want to add my input, because there are some things here I'm a little iffy about.

Some of the commenters mentioned people who don't roleplay at all. I think it's valid to be frustrated by that. I've seen people make five, ten, fifteen blogs, one after the other across months, across years, and literally never make a roleplay post. Ever. I'm not exaggerating here, sadly. And if they literally never roleplay, it's not a matter of "when" they roleplay. Because they never will. That can be a huge muse killer. It does make me wonder why people label themselves as roleplayers when they're only here to post like a fandom blog, when writing stuff comes implicit in the word "roleplaying". It's natural to expect a roleplayer to write something, anything. When someone writes literally zero words, and only posts fandom content unrelated to roleplaying, muse headcanons, etc, it's natural to wonder why they aren't a fandom blog instead. It's great to be into a character, but it doesn't always mean someone wants to roleplay them.

Personally, I'm a low-activity blog who has waited months, and years, for partners to reply IC and OOC. But I also want people who will, at some point, produce something. I can do a little, but I can't do zero. I'm a little hurt that this is being considered "possessive", which has such a huge negative connotation. People can roleplay one week an entire year and I'll be happy, but there is a huge difference between getting something and getting nothing. Not even being given the courtesy of knowing this will happen beforehand so I can avoid someone is crummy.

Roleplaying is roleplaying. Unless someone's personality makes a mess of things, it's fun and no-pressure no matter what level you're on, how you approach it, or what your style is. I grew up on proboards, gaia online, and other PBP forums, I know what roleplay was like (and still is like, on a few forums). But the whole "one-liners with asterisk actions" is not the only way to roleplay. Remember, a lot of roleplay communities separate roleplaying by illiterate, semi-literate (gaia online tended to fit those two styles), literate, advanced literate, and novella. All are acceptable. I thought it was strange how in your ask, you seemed to separate "serious" roleplayers (advanced literate, novella, long-term I guess?) from "the public/indie rpc", when those "serious" roleplayers are a part of that public/indie rpc. They're all roleplayers. We're all using the same aggregating websites to find partners and share our muses. Certain communities may have more of a bias towards certain roleplaying styles, like tumblr with frequent muse changeover and shorter threads, but it doesn't make the other styles less valid. Elsewhere, the way people approach things here are considered unpopular.

You seem to have conflated people who want to see any kind of roleplay activity, even if it's just a post or two every now and again, with people who are asking someone to post every week, or x times within a certain time frame, like, "hut hut hut, post or else". That isn't the case, at least for anyone who isn't a dick. I've waited enormous stretches of time for my partners to give replies, and I'm low-activity myself (as much as "low activity" feels like a dirty word, with social media insisting you have to be online and creating things all the time). I know that some people have more free time than others, and I'm sure many other people know this, too. This does mean, though, if I don't have tons of free time myself, I'm going to spend that precious free time interacting with people who are as guaranteed as possible to actually roleplay, and who show signs of that intention in some way.

People judge others based on the info they're provided with. People notice context clues, and they need some kind of indication. Maybe you have a bunch of long standing blogs, but the problem comes when people don't know that. If all someone ever sees is the short lived ones, because you never mention the long standing ones (for example), link to them, etc, they can't be expected to stick around because the information currently available to them is telling them something else. They shouldn't be expected to draw conclusions based on a lack of info. (So that's another reason it's good to communicate. "I keep both experimental muses and long-term muses", for example, says a lot without being lengthy or too revealing.)

Most people who want longer-term, consistent interactions really try to avoid short-term roleplayers, and not control people. If someone is a long-term roleplayer, it can actually be scary to describe what they're looking for in their rules. If someone says they only follow older blogs with more established muses in their rules, they're often attacked and told, "lol this is a hobby not a jobby are we supposed to fill out a CV while we're at it?". This is a hobby, yeah, and people who like longer-term things know that, so that kind of reception hurts a lot. Like I said above, "roleplaying" encompasses a lot of roleplaying types. There are so many kinds. Nobody is disagreeing that roleplay isn't for fun. And a lot of people HAVE fun "taking rp seriously". They like to push themselves as writers, and they like to have detail, which does require more involvement from partners (who should obviously enjoy it too, otherwise, they're just a bad match lol and neither mun should be roleplaying with the other).

Most long-term roleplayers tend to keep their distance (I know at least me and my partners do) from blogs that appear to be short-term or spontaneous. And because there are so few of us in the first place, honestly, we're not going to affect any real change in the RPC, or make any real ripple effects. I can count the number of long-term roleplayers I know on both hands. We're kind of just there, sitting in the corner. So the muns who you describe as being discouraged or feeling pressured and giving up, while their feelings are understandable, I don't think they actually feel pressured by us in particular, inherently, as long-term roleplayers. There's a much higher chance the pressure is coming from elsewhere. And I honestly haven't seen a single roleplayer's rules, or a PSA, suggest this is something that requires x amount of replies within x amount of time, or anything job-like, in years. It's quite the opposite.

But I'm running my mouth now. Like others said ad nauseum already, everyone just needs to communicate, and understand not everyone is built the same, or works the same (whether they are spontaneous or consistent). It can solve all of this. Unless someone is a legitimate ass (who will get angry no matter what, and believe me lol, I know there are a ton of people like that out there!), nobody cares how other people roleplay unless they lead people on. I want to close by saying I appreciate what you've said on this topic, and it's given me a lot to think about, even if this ask doesn't convey that.

In response to this ask about this submission.

[crescairis]

I was wondering if you had another source that otherlinkers were explicitly excluded from the original definition of otherkind in 1990? The source on AnOtherWiki leads to a 2001 FAQ that doesn't mention anything like that. Also, otherlinkers aren't the same thing as KFF.

(just as a warning, this is going to be a LONG post, but i'd rather not put it under the cut for archival reasons, in the case that for some reason this blog disappears)

firstly, i'd like to apologize for phrasing things as if KFFs and otherlinkers were the same thing; a better phrased way to say things would be for me to say that i think many KFFs would be otherlinkers, were they to acknowledge that their experiences don't fit the definition of otherkin.

something else i'd also like to note that i've been thinking about (while it isn't exactly related to this question) is that perhaps people are misinterpreting the terms "voluntary" and "involuntary".

i feel that many people think "voluntary" simply means the initial decision to willingly take on an identity, which is, in part, true! however, voluntary identities are very likely to become involuntary, simply because it becomes too emotionally/mentally difficult to separate oneself from the identity that they've chosen.

being drawn to something, or someone, enough to take it on as an identity can often be a sign of something deeper! i would see this as a form of awakening in and of itself—like cracking open a geode, or perhaps like putting on training wheels before you experience the real thing.

but back to your first question: the way i initially phrased that post was also rushed, as we were trying very hard to write it during a single lunch break at work.

the term otherlinker is a very recent invention (coined in 2018 on the alt-h discord server, while copinglink was coined in 2015 by who-is-page), as being otherkin has always largely been considered a serious, personal experience. only recently have people NEEDED to specify that it's involuntary, so the only sources i can give you are ones that cite otherkinity as being intended as a serious identity, as well as those that state that otherkinity is not as shallow as a game or roleplay.

also important to note is that many of these pages were made and existed before fictionkin were a largely documented (let alone accepted) presence, thus they are scarcely mentioned, (and typically with skepticism or even scorn,) save for on their own, smaller pages. for our own personal comfort, we will not be listing sources that discredit fictionkinity completely.

firstly, here's a full timeline of otherkin history by orion scribner, to show the scope we're looking at

Otherkin Lexicon by Orion Scribner: "Otherkin are real, non-fictional people who identify as other than human. Otherkin identify as creatures from myth and legend, usually elves, faeries, and dragons. This is a sincere identity, not role-play. Many otherkin identify as other than human for spiritual reasons; that is, they classify their identity as otherkin as a personal spiritual belief. Being otherkin is a very individualistic thing: each otherkin reaches his own explanation for how and why he is an otherkin. Some of their common spiritual explanations include that they are other than human in spirit, or they were other than human in past incarnations.187 Although spiritual belief is often involved, “otherkin” isn’t a religion. As such, each person who identifies as otherkin practices whatever religion he individually wants. It has always been the case that most of the otherkin community practices Neo-Pagan religions, and so that religious perspective shapes the common views and ideas in the otherkin community. Some otherkin don’t use spiritual explanations. Some otherkin believe that they are physically other than human, or that their ancestors were."

A Field Guide to Otherkin by Lupa: "The definition for Otherkin I will be using for this book is: a person who believes that, through either a nonphysical or (much more rarely) physical means, s/he is not entirely human. This means that anyone who relates internally to a nonhuman species either through soul, mind, body, or energetic resonance, or who believes s/he hosts such a being in hir body/mind, is in my own definition of Otherkin. Some people do have more stringent standards. However, for the purposes of this book, I am including a wider range of people.

"This is not a roleplaying game. When a person says s/he is a dragon, or a wolf, or an elf, s/he is not referring to a character that s/he only becomes during a gaming session. That which is Other is a constant part of the person; s/he is the Other at all times. Grey, a wolf therian,says it marvelously: “Perhaps I should say that if a being is a color, or a sound, I am two items merged to form a different color/sound. The two are within each other. Sometimes plain to see, sometimes deeply mixed.”"

A Simple Introduction to Otherkin and Therianthropes by Orion Scribner: "Some real people think of themselves as kinds of creatures from mythology. These people call themselves “otherkin.” An otherkin has the belief that he is a creature from mythology, such as an elf. He says that elf is his true self. It is his identity. This is real to him. It isn’t a pretend person that he plays in a game."

The Otherkin Resource Center: "1 : one who identifies with various mythological archetype as vehicles of spiritual evolution and self-expression, similar to Native totemism only with a stronger level of self-identification.

"2 : someone who believes in reincarnation, and that not all of their reincarnations were as a human."

What are Otherkin? by Tirl Windtree: "By far the most common explanation from those who fit the definition (even if they don't claim this specific label) is that whilst their physical forms may be human, their essence, soul or equivalent term is not.

"Of those, the majority make their claim based on reincarnation - what they have been in a previous incarnation so strongly affects their current incarnation that they still identify with it. Obviously this requires a belief in reincarnation, and in the transmigration of souls. Both are reasonably common in a number of religions and spiritual beliefs across the world."

"The most frequent accusation is that all otherkin are lost in fantasy, they've played one too many D&D games and gone over the edge. Personal study seems to indicate this is actually one of the least frequent explanations. Most roleplayers know they are roleplaying, even if they are also otherkin, and roleplaying can be a very useful tool in self exploration."

The Lostkin Project by Gazer: "Otherkin are the supernatural among us. They are the elves, dragons, nymphs, and trolls that used to live more openly amoung humankind. Some are from other dimensions and other places. You may occasionally see them refered to as Otherkind. Otherkin is the more generally accepted term."

Otherkin Coalition by Kreyas: "What is Otherkin?

In a nutshell, Otherkin are a coalition of people who share in common the belief that some internal part of them is somehow incongruent with the rest of the human race. Beyond that, beliefs vary too widely to classify them into any one group.

Some of the most common beliefs are that the soul is somehow different from human. This may go in hand with a belief in reincarnation and “imprinting” (in which a past life as another species leaves an imprint on the soul which is then carried over into the next life), or the individual may believe that this is his/her first life and they are simply different.

Above all, Otherkin is a spiritual belief.

"Are Otherkin really a bunch of delusional, socially maladaptive kids like I read on that website?

NO. As with any group, not everyone fits the stereotype. Any community is going to have its bad apples which stand out in people’s minds better than the typical members. In my experience, Otherkin are usually levelheaded and able to question their beliefs and function in human society.

"Is it a Roleplaying thing?

NO. While some Otherkin may participate in roleplaying, strictly speaking the beliefs are separate from the roleplay - even if they are roleplaying as their identified “kintype”."

Otherkin FAQ v 4.0.1 by Arhuaine, Miaren Crowsdaughrer, Thistile Kachunk, Golden Syrpent, Knight of Ghosts and Shadows, Jarin Dreamsinger and The Crisses: "The Otherkin are those people who believe themselves to be spiritually and/or physically other than human. While mythological species (elves, satyrs, fairies, dragons, and so on) are widely accepted as being included under the term "Otherkin", many people in the community prefer to include aliens, vampires, furries, extraterrestrial humans, and other nonhuman races. A mythological or literary equivalent is not necessary to be included under "Otherkin"; there are types of otherkin that have not shown up in known legends or fiction (star-dragons, Elenari, etc.)."

What are Otherkin, Anyway? by Adnarel: "Otherkin is a term that is generally used to describe people who, In some way or another, physical bodies aside, do not feel that they are “human” in the conventional sense of the word. We (they) feel as though their spirits are not human, nor have they ever been, despite our physical bodies and outward appearance. Some otherkin have testified that they feel that this is their first time on this plane of existence, a.k.a. Earth. Others feel that they have been here numerous times to teach and to heal people. Maybe once they were here in their “true forms”. Otherkin use the term “true form” to describe what they feel to be the shape and nature of their true selves."

What Are Otherkin? by Arhuaine:

"Put simply, someone who is Otherkin feels that they have a soul (or souls) other than human. Usually this encompasses what are commonly regarded as mythical beings such as elves, dragons, fae, satyrs and so on. A broader view of otherkin might also include therianthropes (were-creatures) and those with animal souls (such people are sometimes known affectionately as "furries"), and also perhaps people who consider their souls are alien (often called star-born). The lines between Otherkin and Furries or Star-born are often blurred.

"Most Otherkin feel for most of their lives as though they don't belong. Human society seems alien and unfamiliar in many ways. They may feel isolated and unhappy, yet unable to explain these feelings at first. Then, perhaps they may begin to remember a life other than their own. Sometimes it is not easy to understand such memories, and sometimes the awakening to Otherkin-ness is a difficult and frightening process, especially if they are going through it alone. It is something not easy to share with others, for fear that they may consider you crazy.

"Being Otherkin is not something to crave, nor is it glamorous. It is a difficult and lonely path to tread, and sometimes it seems to bring only sorrow. Memories of loved ones long lost, a home that can no longer be reached, cause great pain. And yet, the life of the Otherkin is not all sadness. It is a life filled with wonder and magic, and a way of looking at the world that humans can never understand. Because magic is so much a part of an Otherkin's outlook, they may be drawn to Paganism or other New-age philosophies."

Are You 'Kin? by Gazer: "To really find out if you are otherkin takes searching. No, not on the internet, inside. You have to reach inside yourself and really look at yourself. This ,for the most part, is an inner journey. You have the answers, not me or anyone else. If you are otherkin then it is a PART of you, but you may be the only person able to find it.

The best others can do to help you is to provide pointers. Show you ways to search inside yourself, tell you how they found something inside themselves. We can hold a mirror up to you, but you won't see anything unless YOU do the looking, and what we see from our side of the mirror may not be the truth."

Otherkin Phenomena: "Otherkin are people who believe themselves to be something other than a human being on a spiritual, psychological, energetic and some even on a biological level, and choose to identify with that non-human fragment of themselves to the point where they count it as a permanent and ingrained part of their personal mythology and/or identity."

and there's plenty more! i'm just tired

i hope this helped answer your question, and perhaps gives others some insight as well!

[rpersanonymous]

  One thing that has ALWAYS been a roleplayer red flag for me are the muns who publicly post at length (and seemingly ad nauseum) about their own bad RP experiences on their RP blogs. They will literally go looking for specific posts so that they can use them as an excuse to wax and wane about whatever happened to them.

  'If anyone was wondering, this is why I do this RP thing this way; I was TOTALLY traumatized by this former partner and now I'll never be the same! Let me tell you how it all began - !'

  We weren't wondering. How you choose to do things on your own blog is your business. No, I don't need to hear about your drama from four years ago for the fifth time this month, thanks.

  People who go fishing for sympathy like this set off all my internal alarms. 'Oh, poor me!  Give me love because this mean person hurt me, and, yes I know it's just RP, but I swear they broke my heart!'* And if they actually name names or offer to IM their followers with specific blogs? Yikes! That is a serious hard pass for me.  If you're still PUBLICLY reliving drama from YEARS ago, then you are not someone I want to write with.

  And for those who might say, 'But it takes time to heal, etc, etc.!'  Believe me, I know.  I've had bad experiences, too.  Time definitely doesn't heal all wounds.  But I also don't plaster those experiences IN DETAIL across my RP blogs, or blog/name drop the people involved - especially YEARS after the fact.  I refuse to be a drama-monger.

  And for the record, I also don't care too much for the people who choose to believe those kinds of posts (especially if names have been dropped) without asking for proof first.  They're just all, 'OMG!  That's awful!  Tell me who hurt you so I can block them EVERYWHERE!'*  Those kinds of people are just as much of a red flag as the ones making the posts.  Sycophants do not good partners make.
