꒰♡꒱ —  YET ANOTHER LABELS MASTERLIST.

i was going through my masterlist tag and saw that i have quite a few for labels so i thought it’d be a good idea to compile a lot of those labels into one big, long list  (as much as i’d like to include all of them, it would be way too long). i’ve also decided not to include any sort of description for the labels so that they can be left up to interpretation~ under the cut, you’ll find a grand total of #111 ideas for labels. if you find this post useful, please consider giving it a like / reblog so that i know ♡♡

⠀⠀as  in  many  countries,  in  brazil  we  have  some  differences  in  the  way  names  work.  with  that  in  mind,  i  have  put  together  some  tips  for  if  you  want  to  name  a  brazilian  character  and  don't  know  where  to  start.  it's  also  a  very  useful  point  to  know  in  order  to  respect  and  understand  how  our  culture  works.

⠀⠀⸻⠀⠀𝐌𝐈𝐃𝐃𝐋𝐄  𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄.

⠀⠀i  believe  middle  names  are  one  of  the  biggest  differences  between  brazilian  names  and  names  from  other  places*.  this  is  because  in  brazil  we  don't  have  what  is  called  a  middle  name,  in  other  words,  our  naming  structure  doesn't  include  two  names.  the  most  common  structure  is  as  follows:

first  name  +  mother's  surname  +  father's  surname for  example:  ana  silva  pereira.

⠀⠀we  inherit  surnames  from  both  sides  of  the  family,  although  the  paternal  surname  carries  more  weight  when  naming  a  child.  when  a  child  has  no  father  or  mother,  they  usually  inherit  both  surnames  from  their  parent.  therefore,  it's  very  important  to  think  about  this  when  creating  your  character's  name.

⠀⠀even  so,  there  are  cases  of  compound  names  (  e.g.  ana  maria  silva  pereira  )  and  cases  where  the  child  inherits  both  surnames  from  both  parents,  although  the  second  one  is  very  rare.

*some  latin  american  countries  also  use  a  similar  structure  to  brazil,  but  as  i'm  not  very  familiar  with  them,  i  prefer  not  to  comment  on  this  and  leave  it  to  those  who  understand  each  latin  american  country  better.

⠀⠀⸻⠀⠀𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐒.

⠀⠀brazil  is  known  for  being  an  extremely  ethnically  diverse  country,  which  is  why  we  have  many  different  types  of  surnames  in  use  here,  many  of  which  originate  from  other  countries  and  cultures.  therefore,  it's  more  than  possible  for  a  character  to  have  a  surname  of  portuguese,  italian,  german,  african,  japanese,  or  other  origin.  when  choosing  a  surname,  it's  important  to  consider  these  details  and  understand  a  little  about  the  different  regions  of  our  country.  for  example,  in  the  southern  region,  it's  very  common  for  people  to  be  of  german  descent,  which  can  cause  a  person  to  have  a  very  german  surname.

⠀⠀however,  we  have  a  huge  number  of  surnames  that  are  specifically  brazilian  and/or  of  portuguese  origin  (  silva,  santos,  oliveira,  souza,  pereira,  viera,  costa,  rodrigues,  lima,  alves,  barbosa,  batista,  castro,  etc.  ).  therefore,  it's  important  to  think  about  this  when  choosing  a  surname.

it's  important  to  note  that  many  brazilians  have  surnames  from  other  countries  and  aren't  necessarily  direct  descendants  of  that  culture.  as  brazil  is  very  diverse,  this  is  possible,  and  above  all,  brazilians  are  brazilian  first  and  foremost.

⠀⠀⸻⠀⠀𝐍𝐈𝐂𝐊𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐒.

⠀⠀as  everywhere  else,  nicknames  don't  have  a  specific  structure  or  rule;  after  all,  it's  just  a  way  of  shortening  or  abbreviating  a  name,  mainly  in  a  personal  way.  however,  here  are  some  of  the  most  common  ways  of  doing  this.

⠀⠀the  first  is  by  shortening  the  name.  so  if  someone's  name  is  paulo,  a  common  nickname  is  paulinho  (  which  literally  means  little  paulo  ).  it's  an  affectionate  way  of  addressing  someone,  but  it  doesn't  necessarily  shorten  the  name.  in  some  cases,  this  also  happens  when  the  father  and  son  have  the  same  name,  where  the  son  ends  up  taking  the  diminutive  form  of  the  name.

⠀⠀the  second  way  is  to  use  the  first  syllable  of  the  name  as  a  nickname.  in  other  words,  a  woman  named  juliana  is  usually  called  ju,  something  short  and  very  personal.  it's  also  possible  to  use  the  first  two  syllables,  so  rafael  is  usually  nicknamed  rafa.

⠀⠀in  addition,  we  have  some  names  which  already  come  with  nicknames.  josé  commonly  becomes  zé  or  zezinho,  roberto  becomes  beto,  maria  eduarda  or  eduarda  becomes  duda,  carlos  eduardo  becomes  cadu,  fernanda  becomes  nanda  or  nandinha.  therefore,  when  naming  a  character,  it  is  possible  to  think  about  variations  of  nicknames,  especially  because  many  people  here  are  better  known  by  their  nickname  than  by  their  full  name.

⠀⠀⸻⠀⠀𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐄𝐈𝐆𝐍𝐈𝐒𝐌𝐒.

⠀⠀some  names  from  other  countries  end  up  being  used  here,  precisely  because  of  our  inclusive  and  openness  to  cultural  exchange.  however,  we  end  up  ‘brazilianising’  some  names,  transforming  them  into  almost  new  names.  for  example,  michael  in  brazil  would  be  maicon,  or  brian  could  be  used  as  braian.  so  don't  be  surprised  to  find  some  versions  of  foreign  names  made  in  a  brazilian  way  that  better  suits  our  language.

these  are  just  a  few  points  on  the  subject  to  help  creators  think  more  carefully  about  the  names  of  their  brazilian  characters,  considering  our  culture,  which  is  both  broad  and  specific  to  us.  if  you  have  any  questions  about  this,  feel  free  to  ask  me  ♡

its so sad, nobody tries in discord ros anymore they join just to never be active and then the rp dies bc how are the admins supposed to do anything about members not trying, when they've done what they can to inspire activity

i mean ………….. ur right lol.

as an admin u can have events, tasks, even reach out to every member and start a thread/text with every one that responds to u and they’ll still somehow not do anything …….. it’s the very reason i’m so hesitant ab being an admin again :)))) not to say i’m the perfect admin but like …. The cookie keeps crumbling so maybe im just not meant to be a baker yk

[ghostrpt]

remember six months ago when there were like 10 different slice of life discord rps…………….miss that

[aangs]

for anyone who's writing a turkish muse, this is my favorite site to find turkish names! not only are there thousands of names listed, it also provides you with the meaning, origin, and popularity of each name. it was created by a turkish lexicographer, so you can trust its accuracy. hope it helps some of you!

[ghostrpt]

might fuck around and finally do something on my indie tn …

[gavetawrtes]

hey there, just a lil heads up: if you are gonna add ‘trans woman’ to ur fc directory then make sure to tag the cis people with ‘cis woman’ too. like add the adjective. because trans woman and cis woman are woman, so if you are adding the adjective to one then add it to the other too, please. 

[ghostrpt]

so dumb but I want a zombies rp ……… like gimme an rp set in seabrook ty

[ghostrpt]

hey, i'm a little confused on how to join rpcdirectory because i can't see a source link anywhere on the main blog? i can never seem to find source links. sorry if this is a stupid question, i'm just really struggling to find places to advertise my group!

Here’s where you’ll find the source link (at least on mobile); I will message Lux tho since it looks like the most recently posted link is expired!

[ghostrpt]

what type of rps do you like

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i’m willing to look at most things, but i genuinely don’t understand (multi)fandom rps so i tend to avoid them

[ghostrpt]

the twins thing, but take it further and just siblings in general. if someone is playing their own sibling in the same rp i find it so weird. like wheres the fun in that. whenever ive seen people do that, its always just so they can bring more attention to one of the sibling they actually want to play. albeit ive only RP-d in Twitter & discord so maybe its different on tumblr.

I’ve only ever seen people play siblings a few times, it gets rlly unhinged when the mun decides to fill the gc with the siblings fighting with each other. Like … go write a book or smth dude

[ghostrpt]

anyone got discord rp recs?

[ghostrpt]

imo if twins or triplets are all being played by the same mun it’s almost definitely nothing to do with actually wanting to flesh out 2 different characters or explore sibling dynamic, it’s something they’re doing just bc they want to be able to ship that face with more than one person.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA valid take imo

[ghostrpt]

why do twins written by the same mun weird you out lol? kinda cool to explore how one household can raise vastly different characters!

That is true. And even I have had twin muses, who share the same fc, but I don’t put them both in the same group. It’s genuinely just a red flag that you have no desire to be diverse in who you play, especially when your preferred fcs are all white.

Plus, i tend to see it with people who don’t make their characters very diverse in personality, either. Half the time their muse’s personalities are basically the same with some slight differences, but at the core they’re the same muse. It’s very rare you find a singular mun playing 2-5 muses with the same fc that actually does it right.

I can be weirded out by it and decide not to join a group because of it, just like you can be okay with it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Its all personal preference and I’m just not for it.

[ghostrpt]

I’m all for allowing twins (or even triplets in some cases) in rps but if they’re all played by the same mun, that’s when I get weirded out……..like …. Huh
