general reminders to make you role play days easier .

allow yourself to set boundaries !

clear your thoughts and concerns with your partners !

ask when you are uncertain !

allow yourself to say no !

let go of any unnecessary guilt !

it's better to have messaged one time too many than one too few !

ask for help !

allow yourself to clean out your inbox and threads !

take breathing breaks !

the amount of likes do not define you or your content !

role play is mean to to be fun, and the second it starts affecting you or your health negatively it's a sign that you need to realign your priorities. ❤️

be proud of your original characters. it's no easy task to create a character from scratch, to make them believable and real and human. it takes time. it takes dedication. so what if they aren't perfect right away? so what if there are still things you're only now figuring out after time? characters evolve, they go through changes and arcs and stories just like real people do. and it's okay if your character develops over time, you don't need to have it all figured out right away. there are some things that will only ever clear up after writing them for a while, finding their voice, and seeing the way they interact with other characters. but this is your character, your creation, and you deserve to feel proud about it no matter what.

Reblog to let your mutuals know. . .

that they are appreciated. that they are important. that they are amazing. that they are creative. that they are loved.

No matter how long you take to reply, what mood you are in, how insecure you are feeling about your writing, or how active you are — your presence is still very much enjoyed. You never have to apologize or feel bad for taking a while with a reply, or not answering an ask right away. Life can get busy, energy can fluctuate, interest can shift, and emotions can change. You are human and these things do not make you a bad person/partner.

We write together because it is fun and enjoyable, not because it is expected of you to answer every little thing at the snap of fingers.

► reblog to let your mutuals know that... YOUR RP BLOG IS NOT TIME-SENSITIVE!

...That there is NO time limit or expiration date on asks, memes or threads.

...That your partners NEVER need to feel they have to apologise for not responding to a thread or ask yet.

...That you welcome replies to "OLD" threads and memes, even if they've been sitting quietly untouched for weeks or months.

...That there is NEVER any pressure or obligation for your partners to reply until they feel the drive and enthusiasm to do so.

...That YOU will happily respond to things at YOUR OWN leisure, and you would like your partners to feel comfortable doing the same.

Not everybody enjoys running their blog this way and that's a-okay. But removing the idea that RP interactions are something that can "expire" or that the asks in your inbox have an unspoken "due-date", takes the pressure off of both your partners and yourself and can help bust feelings of stress/anxiety from the hobby. Reblog to let your partners know that you're just jazzed to receive new writing from them, whenever it comes.

Let us have infinite threads, let us write countless timelines, plot endless interactions. The important thing is that we're having fun!

just a heads up to the rpc for today, jan 15 - it looks like tumblr is still glitching a bit and a lot of things keep breaking. double and triple check you're saving drafts regularly as you write them, and don't trust mutual checker if you use it, because it appears to be breaking too! don't assume someone has softblocked when the feature itself is messing up!

✿‧̥ the way you portray your muse is amazing. don't discredit all the love you pour into your blog. from your threads , headcanons , and other posts. no matter if they're an oc or a canon , the rpc is so lucky to have you as part of it. thank you for being here and making this space a better place ! thank you for sharing your portrayal with us ! never let anyone take away the joy you have in writing your character , because you being in this space does matter.

Reblog if you will NOT roleplay with those under 18.

NOTE TO MINORS: Many of those who reblog this and similar posts are adults who write mature content, which may include sexual content, and as such it is for their legal protection as much as yours that their blogs are age restricted.

friendly reminder that characters' chemistry comes from communication between the authors. you can't expect to gain the same chemistry as another author unless you communicate, and even then, it cannot be guaranteed. chemistry between characters is dynamic and cannot be expected to appear in the same way for every character.

Don't use your muse(s) to vent your out-of-character frustrations or give yourself an ego boost.

I've seen this happen many times over my 10+ years of role-playing on this site. I've met a lot of muns that tend to use their muses as a means of airing out their grievances, or making themselves feel/seem important.

Example #1: I once met someone who would speak through their muse whenever someone on the dash (a writing partner or just a mutual) angered or frustrated them. They wouldn't directly call the target out, but to those in the know, it was clear who they were talking about.

Example #2: I knew someone that I would plot a thread out in advance with, we both agreed that was how it was going to play out so both of us would be happy, and then when it came down to writing the thread, their muse unexpectedly vilified mine in order to make them seem like they were "special" or "more important" or "the good guy."

This is incredibly frustrating and off-putting. Writing is supposed to be fun for everyone involved. It's not meant to make any one person seem or feel more important than anyone else.

If you're doing either of these things, rest assured that you are the only one having fun.

it's okay if you aren't writing right now. it's okay not to be online. it's okay to take breaks. this is a hobby, not a job, and you should spend your time however you want to, not how others may want you to. don't stress yourself over not being around enough; it doesn't matter if you take days, weeks, or even months — it's okay to do things the way it works best for you. and if that means taking longer to reply, then so be it. people are usually far more understanding than we give them credit for.

[actionmemeplay]

Even if you’re not writing together right now…let your RP mutuals know that you see them and appreciate them. Liking a HC or OOC post takes zero effort…but it can greatly uplift your partner’s experience on the dash to see their friends and partners taking an interest. It takes next to no time to pick out a meme option to drop into a your partner’s inbox, but will surely make them happy and may kindle unexpected interactions between your muses.

Little gestures sustain the hobby by making folks feel wanted and appreciated. And people who show frequent, small kindnesses to their mutuals will usually see it returned to them in equal measure.

PSA: The talk of alleged upcoming raids is causing a lot of unnecessary panic in the rp & askblog communities. It's almost certainly fake, though. Same old hoax, same old reblog bait and fear-mongering as we've seen a million times, like pridefall, which didn't happen.

Think critically when you see a post saying something bad is going to happen. Who is making what claims and what sources do they have for those claims? "I heard from Suzie-Q they were gonna do it" with no elaboration on who "they" is? That's not a source.

If you're really worried about it, go ahead and disable asks with media.

There is no need to panic over this. You're gonna be OK. Take a deep breath.
