Change is coming...

I’ve been MIA.  I’ve moved and with my new time zone has come many challenges.  I gave up on Tumblr for a number of reasons; I couldn’t come up with anything interesting to say or share, I didn’t have time to commit to always checking in on things, and I quite frankly didn’t like the environment at the time.  Well, I’m back.  I may be a glutton for punishment or just lonely, but here there were always people with interesting things to say and share and many of my friends are still on Tumblr.

With that all said I’m going to be changing my Tumblr since I’m going to be changing my character.  I also hope that I will be able to start writing again and add new interesting things to my little place.  It won't be great but it will be mine.  Anyways, I hope everyone is doing as well as they can and I look forward to enjoying Tumblr once again.

how-to: character conversations

There is nothing more discouraging when your character is trying to converse, but the other character keeps shutting you down or alternately, does not reciprocate.  It can be disheartening, exhausting, and no fun.  Even more importantly, it’s bad RPing. 

Examples of shut downs:

the character keeps giving negative responses

the character belittles or dismisses the other character’s thoughts, suggestions, questions, then does not add anything

the character is too shy or afraid to speak or take any action; waits for the other character to take initiative

the character challenges the other character to impress them somehow, before they decide to engage

the character refuses to engage in any way: refuses to consider ideas, shows no interest, abruptly leaves

the character will answer questions but then will offer no follow-up

there is a lot of internal exposition, but then the character only responds with a word or two

If you realize your character consistently uses a few of these tactics, you may think: “but my character is grumpy/an asshole/anti-social/really shy/scared/bitchy/a loner/hates people/has issues!  It’s natural for them to act that way!“

This might be true, but the Mun/Player does not have to write that way.  There is a difference between the Mun’s character’s personality, and the Mun’s writing. RPing is interactive and it’s a two-way street.  As a Mun, it is your responsibility to figure out how to be engaging and encouraging to your partner, regardless of your character’s personality.

Below the cut are some suggested ways to improve RP interaction, and make things fun for both RP thread partners.

There are three sections:

Classic Improv

‘The Best’ vs ‘Show Your Work’

Are You Not Entertained?

I’m  reblogging this because I have struggled with these situations and it’s taken a good friend to point out these things to me so that I could adapt and learn to alter my rp to be more inviting/inclusive. It’s a work in progress but there has been progress…

Ancient Alphabets. Thedan Script - used extensively by Gardnerian Witches Runic Alphabets - they served for divinatory and ritual purposes, as well as the more practical use; there are three main types of Runes; Germanic, Scandinavian/Norse, and Anglo-Saxon and they each have any number of variations, depending on the region from which they originate  Celtic and Pictish - early Celts and their priests, the Druids, had their own form of alphabet known as “Ogam Bethluisnion”, which was an extremely simple alphabet used more for carving into wood and stone, than for general writing, while Pictish artwork was later adopted by the Celts, especially throughout Ireland Ceremonial Magick Alphabets - “Passing the River”, “Malachim” and “Celestial” alphabets were used almost exclusively by ceremonial magicians
