a note to personal blogs;
// love you dearly & appreciate your support but… you guys with personals / fandom blogs have really gotta learn etiquette when it comes to interacting with, following, & reblogging things from rp blogs. it’s not the same as a personal or a fandom blog. different things are ok to reblog with rp blogs and many things aren’t ok to reblog from rp blogs unless they specifically say otherwise.
if an rp blog posts a promo, even if it looks like an edit, a lot of them don’t want you reblogging it off them and many will even say in the post “personals do not reblog”, etc.
additionally threads ( writing between one rper and another ), starters ( writing posted by an individual rper ), headcanons ( unless otherwise stated ), and in character posts are almost always NOT to be reblogged. MOST rp blogs are fine with you liking the posts. almost all rp blogs are fine with you messaging them about things re: a headcanon you like, a thread you enjoy.
if you see a post from a roleplay blog and you’re not sure if it’s ok for you to reblog it: ask them. if they say no? don’t reblog it. if they say yes? reblog to your heart’s content.
things that are usually NOT OKAY to reblog from rp blogs if you’re a personal / fandom blog:
any in character posts ( including threads, starters, open starters, ic updates, drabbles ( unless otherwise stated ), answered asks, etc. )
most out of character posts
things that usually are OKAY to reblog from rp blogs if you’re a personal / fandom blog:
edits they’ve made if tagged
edits & images they have reblogged from other fandom / personal blogs
posts tagged “ok to reblog” or variants thereof
your own interactions with them ( say you send them an ask and they publish it or they reblog something off of you with a comment )
reblogging these things spread things that are meant to be private within the rp community ( hell, sometimes even just private for that specific blog and person ), a lot of the times they’re things rpers don’t want spread outside the community. that can cause understandable anxiety in addition to just generally messing with the flow of rp and making it difficult to keep track of threads if it gets notes as the result of personals / fandom blogs reblogging it.
just be courteous to rp blogs. we know a lot of you just don’t know.
