Rusty Thimble March Performance

The Rusty Thimble's march performance is this Wednesday March 24th.  Doors open around 9 pm EST and the performance will start around 9:30 pm EST.  Join us on Goblin, Goblet, Ward 24 plot 43.

The Rusty Thimble is a performance company that started 6 months ago.  We have grown to 8 singers and dancers that love to put on an amazing show.  You won't be disappointed, as we have started seeing regulars come back again and again to our monthly performances.

The first half is dedicated to the theme and holidays of March:  sea shanties and drinking songs.  From there our performers will dance and sing to some of their favorite songs.  So grab your dancing shoes and glow sticks and dance the night away in a one of a kind theater.    You don't want to miss this! I have had so much fun growing with this group.  At some point I will make posts about it here and get back into the RP blog.  If you have missed these muscles then please come visit and see us! Also if there is a goblin RP calendar or an FFXIV RP calendar group please let me know so I can join and help spread the word.  Thank you! @balmungrpcalendar

Cross World Linkshell Promotion

Hey everyone, I know I haven’t posted in a very long time, and I will change that.  So much has happened in the past couple of months and I need to get it down.  However, I am helping to run a cross server linkshell that features performers at a steampunk tavern.  Like to perform or want to bartend at a cool place a couple times a month?  Message me here or in game!

FC: The Rusty Thimble <Rusty> Server: Goblin/Mateus Cross World group Leader: Sikona Dhas@Goblin Co-Leader: Garinn Armstrong@Mateus FC House: Goblin | Shirogane | Ward 10, Plot 24 Alignment: Lawful Good Website: https://rusty-thimble.carrd.co/ RP Tags:  Character Progression, tavern, Performance trope. The Rusty Thimble is a cross-server free company and linkshell that is focused on running a tavern with live performances.  Started by performer and dance instructor Sikona, she had a dream to have a community where performers could work together, grow together, and show off their talents.  After obtaining a medium house and starting a free company on Goblin that dream has become a reality.  We are an event company.  Our goal is to have our tavern open twice a month with the stage always filled by singers, dancers, circus acts, and any other performance our group wants to show off.  We also plan on one of those nights to be an even bigger event focused around a certain theme.  Also, we plan on offering our services to other free companies that want performers on stage during their events.  We started off with performing for two halloween events which you can see in the gallery.  Finally, we don't require anyone to transfer to Goblin or join the free company.  Simply join the discord and cross-world linkshell, be active and sign up for performances and events, and join our growing family.

Frustration.

Garinn wasn’t a puncher.  He was a Dragoon.  But sometimes.  Sometimes.  You needed to hit something with your fist.  Hard.  Right now was one of those times.  With light padded gloves and in nothing more then his shorts he attacked the training dummy with vigor.

“Get.....her.....out.....of....your....head....”  Each thought rang out in his head as each fist collided with the wooden statue, thunks filling the courtyard as he slammed into it over and over.

“She’s...with...him..” He hissed out each word with gritted teeth, his fists flying harder as the rage built inside him.  Were anyone there they would see something move behind those hazel eyes as his aggression and anger was transferred into the blows.

“IT....WON”T....HAPPEN!  AHHHHHHHH” 

Garinn roared out, his dragoon power flaring, causing his next punch to fly into the dummy.  It rocked it backwards and caused the ground to lift around them.  He screamed out again, hurling a flurry of blows to the thing as sweat beaded around his chiseled frame.   Finally, he was done, breathing heavily as his head rested against the statue.  The sweaty highlander grabbed his towel before heading inside to find a large bottle of something strong and a hot tub.

Crystal Dance Club Circuit: Wednesday 4/22

I super duper triple checked and the Infinity Club is open!  And they even have a theme for you to go along with your glowsticks:

So you have a chance to put not one but two hero and villain outfits together for Wednesday and Sunday night!  Also in case they don’t have a music station we have my own:

https://plug.dj/techno-viking

In honor of their theme I will be combing through Sound Cloud for club remixes of super hero movie and tv show songs.  Feel free to join me in this endeavor, or just bring songs you love bouncing around to.

Hello! If you’re an active Final Fantasy XIV blog — roleplaying, aesthetic, etc. — could you please reblog this post? It’ll serve as a reference point for people who are looking for new blogs to follow to see who is active from April 1st (not a fool’s joke, I assure you!) and onward!

[naughtyandnicerpmemes]

Reblog this if your muse has a nice butt.

Don’t let roleplay take over your life!

Roleplay is fiction. It’s not real. You are not your character. Real life always, always, always comes before roleplay no matter what.

Roleplay isn’t a priority for everyone. Many roleplayers work full time, have families, go to school, etc. They don’t have time to sit in front of a computer all day writing. Stop “keeping tabs” on your partners like you own them because you don’t. It’s invasive and creepy. Not everyone has the time to constantly answer DMs and threads all day long.

“If roleplay isn’t a priority then you shouldn’t do it.” Fuck off with that. It is a hobby. AKA something done for entertainment that takes a backseat to real life. If your entire existence revolves so much around a fictional world and make believe characters that it starts to affect interactions with others then you need to get professional help.

Expecting constant roleplay from people is unfair and unrealistic. Guilting, inducing anxiety or upsetting people over roleplay is extremely unhealthy behavior. Grow up.

Yeah if they know they won’t be on for a while then it’s good to get a heads up. But it’s not required. Sometimes people need a break or life becomes stressful and they forget or don’t have time. It’s not the end of the world if you don’t get that communication. Of course it sucks and sometimes it will hurt but don’t let it consume you.

People drift apart. Life happens. It really is just a hobby. It doesn’t pay your bills. Chill out life does go on.

[bunniesmemes-deactivated2020063]

An Addition

Don’t use roleplay as a dating service.

If you find the love of your life while roleplaying, congratulations! You got lucky and blessings to you!

But don’t force yourself onto someone OOC. Especially after they say no. At that point you become a creepy, thirsty stalker.

Don’t ruin someone else’s hobby because you want to get laid.

They literally have apps for that so use those instead.

[xgcchocobo]

I can't stress "get help" enough. Im not even sarcastic. If RP is your life Get. Help. Actual pro help.

[gararmstrong]

I dug this up from yesterday because I want to play devils advocate. Yes, this is a game and RP is just for fun. However, it's social interaction. It takes multiple people to roleplay, and it takes some commitment to write out some deep amazing story archs. If this is just some side game you play every now and again you aren't going to get those quality archs.

Im not saying you need to RP every day with everyone. But if you want to develop something with someone you need to set time aside for it. Once a week. 2-4 times a month. Some sort of schedule so they can count on you. And trust me, if you do this you will get amazing stories your character can talk about in taverns.

Also I did date vicariously through Garinn. I never thought there was ooc love. But I did enjoy those romantic dates that I couldn't find IRL. I think that's a separate topic entirely about IC/OOC bleed.

So yeah. You can do this randomly in your spare time. But if you want to get the most out of RP then make it a hobby you commit to if you love it.
