In order to make my rules more accessible to mobile users, I’m posting them here-

Please follow these rules or risk being unfollowed, soft blocked, or blocked;

While I am primarily a para/multi-para role-player(with a dab of novella mixed in), I have also done some semi-para and one-liner role-play. It typically depends on what I’m giving. That said, if I get too little, I will ask for more because I need some form of content in order to reply. If I send you a reply or starter and it’s too long for you (I’ve never run into this problem, but I have friends who have), please do not ask me to shorten it for you. I likely won’t be able to.

You don’t have to tell me you’re dropping a thread. You don’t have to keep up with a constant Ask Box oriented role-play. I don’t need constant interaction with you to keep following you. That said, I will likely drop threads and whatnot. It’s not for any particular reason. I only have so much time and so much energy. This isn’t a rule so much as a fore warning; If dropped threads bothers you, then perhaps starting them with me isn’t the grandest of ideas.

While I, myself, will have triggering content on my blog, I do attempt to tag EVERYTHING. I will be posting a tags list on my blog with a list of tags I use for triggers, but if you need a very specific tag used, please do not hesitate to message me. Triggers and appropriate tags are extremely important for me as I want my blog to be safe for everyone who follows me.

Shipping with Kaiba will probably actually be very difficult, if shipping is your intent. Please do not auto-ship without express permission. I prefer slow builds and relationship development. As well, if you don’t play your character in a way that I can see us shipping, please do not be upset. I adore all forms of role-playing; Friends, enemies, frienemies, etc. Please give me more than just mindless ship fodder. Plus, I will not change how Kaiba acts or responds just for the sake of friendship or any form of ship. I play him a certain way and I like how I play him.

I take a while to reply sometimes. I have a soul sucking job (I have literally watched so many people crack and fold here, man, it’s not okay.) and I have a lot of personal stuff that can make me too exhausted to reply immediately. Please do not pressure me for replies. As well, there are very close friends I role-play with here and they typically take priority. And remember, the more threads I have going, the slower I’ll be. Simply put, I very much appreciate your patience, but if you can not be patient, then perhaps I am not a suitable role-play partner.

I use icons for some of my blogs! You do not need to. Obviously. If you want to use my icons, feel free to. I don’t mind. They took me two seconds to make and are just cropped doujin images with a blue filter. That being said, I do NOT condone stealing other rper’s icons. A lot of people worked really hard on theirs and are really proud. It’s awesome that you think they look cool, but please don’t steal other people’s icons. Also, if you use fancy text for your role-plays or fancy tags, that’s awesome. I typically do not. If that bothers you for some reason, simply leave.

I don’t like elitism. We’re here for fun. So instead of mocking new people or calling them trash for not having fancy layouts or whatever, how about instead offer to help? Someone’s layout being a more mobile oriented one doesn’t mean they’re a bad role-player. You’re no better than the rest of us. We’re all just nerds writing about OTHER nerds. Like, how is elitism even an issue in this fandom, I don’t even– Just don’t do it. I likely won’t interact with you if you are.

While I originally was not very particular in how I role-played here on Tumblr, I’ve found some peeves that I have. If I answer an in character ask and you can’t make a new post, just tell me. You can reblog the ask and then I’ll make the new post, but please do not continue the role-play in thread comments, because I will absolutely lose your reply. Do not reblog an ask without telling me first. I don’t mind doing the grunt work to make the new post, though. So just- Communicate. I also do not role-play in private messages. If you want to role-play privately, I use Discord for that. If you do not use Discord, then you’re just out of luck.

If you are not involved in the role-play do not reblog or comment on it. At all. Like it, read it, move on. Maybe message me or send an Ask about it, but that’s it. I appreciate you enjoying my work, though.

Unless you are a very close friend of mine, don’t come to me with your drama. While I’m known to be pretty outspoken on my views here, I don’t just get involved in everyone’s stuff, even if I’d agree with you and take your side. I’m too tired for it. That said, people need to stop creating drama in the first place.

I won’t give you any “warning” if you break my rules to the point of me blocking people. If I block you, just leave it alone. If I even hear a whisper about “Someone please ask @radiant-blue-eyes why they blocked me”, I will go out of my way to never address any utterance of your existence. If I block you, deal with it. It’s simple. I don’t know why everyone has an issue with that. I’m sure plenty of people have me blocked, and I don’t even remember their names.

I try not to be selective. I like being open to most people. So if I don’t follow you back right away, it’s probably because I just haven’t gotten around to it. Please be patient with me.

Any nsfw role-play replies will be put under a Read More, so I will only do those replies on my computer. They may take a bit longer. This include smut, gore, and extreme triggers. While my role-play partners don’t need to do this, I will do it always.

This concludes my rules page. I understand that they’re much longer and more in-detailed than my old rules page, but after a few years, I think they were due for an upgrade.
