Where are all the cool kids finding their role play buddies these days? Used to go to Omegle for that or sham.chat, sometimes Tumblr too. Most sites are dead now.

Anyone got any tips?

I have found a... really sad but growth opportunity for myself. As I was going through my role playing archives I found many familiar patterns. Choosing red flag people, open passion for unavailable people, but really the worst one to face is watching every last character ghost the love of their life.

Gobsmaked. Beside myself. Maggie? Yep. Rhoz? Oh yeah. Not looking forward to doing that one. New character? Chata. Effing. Stropic. Life ruiner. I wanted to deny I knew her, but I kept reading and she was fully more me than me, more me than the character that was my "higher self".

I know I will keep reading and understand WHY, like with Maggie but... it's rough to face.

It's fair, okay FAIR that they are taking control of a situation by eliminating themselves as an option. Most of the time, it's been the *right* and logical choice in the situation. But...

Ayyyyyyy but ... It's kinda taken away the agency of the other person involved with them to have a say. If I was that RP character I would have felt so helpless & disempowered.

When you have to face the ways you were a theoretical bad guy, how many times you might have done that IRL, and low-key wish that you'd made thoroughly certain that chat RPG had "after care"

Join Lone Minstrel!

Lone Minstrel is a text-based roleplay discord server. The community is neurodivergent and lgbt+ friendly! There are several settings you can play in, known as ‘Sonnets’ within the Discord Server.

Lone minstrel currently has 3 Settings to play in, but can house up to 6 settings at a time! We allow any player to make a sonnet. So it is simply first come first serve

The Sonnets are as follows:

Drakentide:

In the lands of Lythera, there are only humans, and dragons. Dragons take up all fauna in this world, instead of cats you have Tatzelwurms, instead of turtles you have dragon turtles, Salamander heat human homes and mandrakes become a horrifying Draconic pest to any farmer. Then there are the Draken. These supersized dragons are by any regards people as humans are, but though careful propaganda they have been seen as devilish beasts that must be hunted down for the good of humanity. You can play as Human or Draken, and uncover the muddy history between Human and Dragon.

Ebbingway:

In October, in old abandoned houses, or deep within the woods. There is a door to a place separate from earth. This plane of existence follows the four seasons, each located in their specific little town. Ebbingway is the town of Autumn. Where one can encounter and play as any number of creatures. Skeletons. Vampires, horrible eldritch entities beyond comprehension? The choice is yours! But, despite the haunting, but quaint exterior, something does lurk under the surface, threatening to destroy the livelihoods of all that live there.

Proton Call:

Space is massive and unfathomable. It could be millennia and we would still never uncover all its mysteries. But damn is Discovery and Innovation Enterprise sure gonna try! You work for this company as one of many alien species, and perform many different jobs! Are you a lab worker? Testing on newly discovered species? Are you a field agent? Exploring foreign planets to learn (and survive) the flora and fauna within? Or are you a janitor? Cleaning up the messes when someone gets eaten by the two headed ferret? Up to you!

This project has been an act of love by me to make the things I want to make, and I hope that any who join can see the passion I have for this place.

Please join, and if you don’t want to, please spread the world, so we may brighten the day of someone who does.

I used to fight things like this on old MUDs back in the day when MMOs were text.

I love kabumisu, but yall focus on mithrun's development too much. What about kabru. What about the things mithrun helps kabru with. What about the things kabru realizes about himself through his interactions with mithrun. He people pleases so hard he accidentally starts thinking about himself, that's such a funny concept. why aren't there more pieces around it.

Maybe I’m sick, maybe I’m fucked in the head Cause I’m not really scared of the consequence

Play with fire and you’ll get burned Everybody rolls the dice and it’s your turn

You put the gun to your head - all I did was pull the trigger So don’t ask for my pity when I’m not the only sinner

i mean it when i say we've gotta bring back askblogs. bring back making character chat posts with poor choice text colors over random backgrounds. bring back blogs dedicated to what outfits you think characters would wear.

fandom is an ecosystem, not a numbers game. these types of blogs/posts/etc still exist in concept, because people still want to make them and they're a great way to get your thoughts of an idea out in a simple format, but most people make them on like tiktok or instagram reels and that's where the problem lies. Those videos don't go anywhere. The format doesn't allow for the discussion to spread through the community and they're less likely to be engaged with in general. And to make them most people have to either show their face or figure out editing software, so the barrier to entry is higher (editing) and/or they have to forfeit an amount of privacy.

those types of posts/blogs are the first rung of the ecosystem. they're the perfect environment for younger members of the fandom to begin safely interacting with the larger community and putting their own thoughts and ideas out there. roleplay is the other major spot for that and those communities are diminishing as well, honestly (if you know of an rp forum board site, cherish it. and if you can make one, make one). they allow younger fans to begin engaging with the source material on a different/deeper level, but still at a very low barrier to entry, and begin conversations with other fans, which also helps them build skills which in turn may encourage them to pursue other avenues within the fandom (fic writing, other formats of askblog - which itself usually leads to art, cosplay, also fic writing, etc). Without those places to build those skills, they might feel discouraged from trying to begin when surrounded by curated people who have built their skills up for years.

And those conversations they foster also in turn help the community, by offering ideas to artists or fic writers to extrapolate on or building community jokes. And that text/blog format specifically is extremely beneficial, because it allows younger members of the fandom to remain anonymous and keep their privacy without concerning themselves with having any platform or having anything attached to them (very important for young fans figuring themselves out and navigating online community spaces for the first time, since they can remove themselves from spaces easily if they decide they don't like it and they're protected, rather than PUTTING THEIR FACE ON THE INTERNET). And those posts they make will spread a lot more into the community since they're in a significantly easier format to be reposted (few people are gonna be reposting tons of random short-form videos versus spamming their instagrams with reposts of 10 random fandom images yoinked from tumblr, or reposting to pinterest or something). Like, don't repost art, at the VERY least don't repost without credit, but also I am not ignorant to the fact that my art is not just the first google image result for "pjo pride" and related searches, but also the 4th, the 6th, the 9th, the 10th, the 11th, etc etc., and pops up in the search results before the official ReadRiordan does simply because people reposted my work more (most with credit, thankfully).

For fandom to be a community, it needs to perpetuate itself. There needs to be engagement with one another and conversation. If that bottom rung is cut off, then new fans won't be able to grow into the other niches of the fandom, and the fandom will be solely reliant on the source material and die out extremely quickly, and there won't be a community. There's no conversation! There's no reason to stay beyond the original material! But if you don't have points of entry for new fans, they won't have any way to build the skills needed to move into those niches, or engage with the community in a healthy way.

tl;dr: Bring back askblogs and character-based text post blogs. They are vital to fandom ecosystem.

Message me on here if ur interested!!!
