no nuance november except its the rpc edition. 30 of my takes for 30 days.
people use the word “cliques” too often and most of the time, they’re just describing a group of friends
group chats are fun and help build chemistry that help rps grow
bio rps are restrictive and are often unfair because players are expected to fit an admin portrayal down to the last detail with no room for creative liberty
semi-appless is the superior application form because it’s easy but also leaves room for some initial development
bring back apartment rps 2k20
admins are the most disrespected member of the rpc and honestly, none of you deserve to have good groups anymore
caring about aesthetics doesn’t make you a bad writer.
the reason groups don’t gain traction like they used to is bc the rpc doesn’t stick around long enough but instead complain that groups die too fast
sometimes people just don’t have writing chemistry. it’s not bullying.
admins aren’t your babysitters.
learn how to reblog gif packs instead of just liking. content creators never get the exposure they deserve.
rph blogs are taken for granted and are often overworked for free labor
playing characters of color should not be as controversial as it still is in 2020
normalize discord rp groups
twitter rp would be so much fun if some people didn’t self-insert or quirk their way through every group
poc-only groups should be more common. yall are just racist.
ooc interaction on the dash should come back. interact with edits & character headcanons & selfparas like we used to
the “golden era” of rp (circa 2012-2014) was problematic as fuck. y’all are just fooled by nostalgia
pre-plotting builds more depth & chemistry to a dynamic and should be a part of rp groups prior to opening.
build more platonic ships
character-development tasks are what makes creating ocs & writing characters more flavorful
theme-makers charging for their work is completely valid.
normalize replying to things you have more muse for first.
discord ooc chats are not your venting space
stop asking admins if their groups are active. if you want to know, join.
if you’re not willing to take the time out to write, don’t join groups.
mumu groups are overwhelming & a low character cap is ideal
the only reason groups don’t last more than 2 months nowadays is because people lose interest quickly
tumblr rp should adapt to forum rp rules re: activity being longer than a week (forum rps have a 1 month activity limit) to enhance longevity
admins don’t owe you anything.
(because im extra) stop saying “theres nothing good in the tags” it’s rude and invalidating to the admins who are trying to get their rps out there
