they’re just not that into you: tumblr rp edition

So we need to talk about things, we do.

I keep seeing people complaining about feeling ignored. And some weeks I feel ignored, too. And sometimes I talk to people who have tried to say ‘no thank you, I’m not interested’ in 546378 different ways, and people take that as ‘I need to be more creative and persistent’.

It’s time we were honest;

Sometimes, an RPer is just not that into you.

They are begging for threads when it’s their turn on replies. They have a wishlist but they turn you down when you ask. Communication has drawn to a halt. You start every message with ‘hi sorry to bother you’. You nudge them repeatedly and they are unresponsive.

… they are just not that into you.

Here are some reasons why this might be the case:

You’re trying to write yourself into their background and it doesn’t work well with their headcanons.

Your writing styles are just unmeshy things. Oil. Water. Bam.

They don’t agree with some aspect of they way you play your character (and this doesn’t make you wrong; just incompatible). <– especially canons tbh. We all see them differently. Which is great.

They don’t mesh with some aspect of the way you run your blog generally - more ooc than they are comfortable with, too much negativity about fandoms, characters, ships or people, too many photos of your stamp collection.

Your styles clash. One of you likes heavy formatting and structure and the other likes things plain.

What you initially discussed is not unfolding right for them.

They just don’t feel it.

They have a lot of threads and they don’t want to cut down on others for one they’re lukewarm about.

None of these things are likely to be the case:

They hate you.

They think you suck.

This is NOT about ‘quality’ (i hate that word being used around here). It’s about compatibility.

Let me ask you… can you really enjoy a thread knowing you had to harass someone into it? I doubt it.

I am not talking about people who take a little longer than usual to reply, because our lives fluctuate. Or people who have long breaks (hooray, they have lives!). I mean when someone is around a lot and it’s just a constant impasse. Or your messages never get answered.

This does not mean you are a bad RPer. This means one thing: You are not compatible with the other writer. That is all, and it doesn’t reflect badly on you, or on them.

If someone goes on a date and it flops, we don’t blame them, right? And they can still be friends, or civil, or leave on okay terms.

This is a huge world. Really there are thousands of us. It sucks when someone you want to RP with just doesn’t seem that interested. But someone else will be interested. Stop chasing people who aren’t. It will be easier for you both.

Ask my character something you think would be difficult for them to answer.

Send me a ☀ for a popular plot trope inspired starter!

You can find a random generator here.

Babysitter x Parent: Person A is a busy single parent who happens to be desperate to find a nanny for their five year old child. Person B recently got laid off and since they have experience working with children, decide to take up babysitting until they can find another job with better pay. One evening, Person B gets rained in at Person A’s house and Person A insists they stay over on the couch to avoid getting into an accident since the roads are so terrible. After the child goes to bed, A and B open a bottle of wine and begin talking. The next morning, Person B wakes up in Person A’s bed, regretting the decision to sleep with them but not enough to keep it from happening again and again.

Coffee Shop: Person A is a barista at the local hole in the wall coffee shop. Person B is new to the town and is starting to become a regular at the quiet little cafe with the best latte art they have ever seen but little do they know, the art is all for them after they’ve caught Person A’s attention. Will Person A ever gather up the courage to ask Person B out, or will they just continue with their art in hopes of Person B approaching them?

Fake Dating: Person A has a huge family and every other relative their age either has kids or is married/in a serious relationship, this makes family dinners uncomfortable since they are constantly teased about being single for whatever reason. Person B is Person A’s housemate but they are not particularly close. The extent of their relationship is that they live in the same space and have a few classes together/work in the same building. After A finds out that B is free for the weekend, the same weekend A is expected to go home to visit, A begs B to pose as their significant other in hopes of avoiding any further torment from their family members but what turns out to be a small lie, grows rapidly to the point where A and B find themselves having to lie to A’s family more often than what was originally intended.

Friends With Benefits: Person A and B have been in the same group of friends since Junior High and now that they’re older, everyone else has seemed to found love, leaving A and B the only singles in the group. After a while, everyone stops hanging out as much as their free time is taken up by work, family, and their significant others, leaving A and B with loads of free time to be spent together. They love their relationship as friends too much to risk going out on dates and becoming a couple, but that doesn’t mean they don’t get lonely and have needs. Will anything change once they agree to have sex ? Will sleeping together bring them closer or push them apart?

Hate Sex: Person A and B have known each other since they were kids because their parents are best friends and never once have they ever agreed on anything. Playdates turned into boxing matches and debates turned into full blown arguments with screaming and name calling involved. They somehow end up in the same room together, alone, and arguing over the smallest thing quickly ensues. Instead of throwing punches, Person A pushes Person B against the wall and kisses them. Kissing quickly turns into pulling each other’s clothes off and having sex, but this doesn’t change the way they feel or how they treat each other. At least not at first.

Jock x Nerd: Person A is the star of their school’s sports team, Person B is on the road to Valedictorian. A’s grades threaten to kick them off the team, tutoring would look good on B’s college applications. B signs up but is disappointed to find out that the person they have to tutor is A, someone that has bullied them since they met in middle school, but refuses to drop out of the tutoring program and decides to make the best of it.

Seven Minutes in Heaven: Person A is having a party, Person B somehow gets invited and decides to go despite how nervous they are. They don’t know each other personally, and it’s B’s first ever party. What happens when a bunch of teenagers get together and are unsupervised? Hook ups. This time in the form of being alone in a dark closet with someone a spinning bottle chose for you. In this case, B spun the bottle and upon stopping, it pointed at A. Great.

Teacher x Student: Person A just got their first teaching job at a High School, despite their teacher friends’ warnings of teaching teenagers. They’ve heard it all before; “they can smell fear,” “they will purposely try to make you feel uncomfortable since you’re not that much older than them,” and the ever popular “they will eat you alive,” but no one warned them about the whole “developing feelings for a student that holds eye contact a little too long” thing. That’s where Person B comes in, fresh out of a break up and looking for a distraction. The new History teacher is young enough and isn’t too bad to look at either. Oh and look at that, no ring on their finger! What’s the worst that can happen if an affair with them isn’t found out about? They should both be asking themselves what’s the worst that could happen if they get caught.
