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!

PSA: This RP Blog is firmly Anti-AI.

There's been somebody (or some people) using anonymous messages going around certain RPC's threatening people that if they don't become less selective and write with them, they'll use their writing to feed an AI so they can write with that instead.

Not only is this weird and blatantly creepy, as people are allowed to be as selective as they please and threatening someone only looks bad on your end. Even outside of the broad debates about AI, AI generated work has no place in the RPC, a collaborative hobby between artists and writers to engage with another human being.

This blog will not engage with people who openly use AI to generate writing, graphics, or whatever the machine coughs out with stolen work. AI's are well documented to scrape different places for data. You are using stolen work. AI generated content, writing especially, goes against what the RPC stands for. End of story.

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.

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.

[coffeecupmemes]

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.

Just because someone slows down doesn't mean they are not interested anymore!

I have seen anxiety-inducing posts about partners drifting apart and having lost interest when not interacting, but real life happens fam. Yes, when we are low on brain juice, we choose to reply to threads that appeal the most to us at that time to not get swamped in threads too much.

But we REALLY need to stop assuming the worst about our partner right away when our thread is not among the few chosen ones and takes longer to get replied to.

Maybe your partner wants to tend to your reply when they feel less tired, to give you the best they can do? Work and private stress can also take a while to subdue, so please be patient with your partner and don't just softblock because your brain assumes only bad things.

Sometimes we are in a bad place ourselves and need to step back a bit instead of projecting our own insecurities onto our partners in these moments. And taking time for yourself is perfectly okay. Being chronically online is not healthy in the long run.
