please. do not. reblog an roleplayer’s posts. hear me out: it’s not because we aren’t happy that you follow us, really, we appreciate it ! it’s awesome that someone who isn’t a roleplayer takes pride or likes our work. you’re WELCOME to enjoy our characterizations, and you’re welcome to do show appreciation. but when you reblog our headcanons, interactions, self promos, or anything of the like, it can be a legitimate cause of discomfort and panic for numerous reasons. here’s a few i’ve heard:
it messes up activity feeds !! we as roleplayers are trying to keep track of replies, and memes and followers && all kinds of things. when you reblog our things ( even pictures too much ), it can be confusing and hard to wade through personal blogs reblogging something to find things that we need !! it can be a little problematic.
it puts our blog in public spotlight in places we don’t want. in the fandoms we love, we enjoy a character enough to roleplay them. but the issue is that not all fandoms are welcoming && it can be a large anxiety to have to realize that people are now going to see our blog && see our work when we may only want to keep it private and out of public eye. it can cause anon hate to an influx of people that have nothing to do with roleplay && it can make roleplayers uncomfortable. please be courteous !
it makes our headcanons easier to steal. yes, that’s a legitimate problem. it’s not that we aren’t happy you like our headcanons, it just makes it very easy for fic writers && other enthusiasts to steal or rip off a headcanon we worked hard in making without permission. we’d appreciate that you like us enough to give us publicity, but the idea that people who aren’t so honest or nice could use it is very discouraging.
it adds hassle to interactions. when you reblog an interaction from an rp partner, it can mess up the entire process of a thread && even cause some roleplay partners to become very confused. we don’t want this, since tumblr and roleplay can be stressful enough ( esp. if you have a large follower count ). so please, don’t reblog interactions.
again, this is NOT us telling you to unfollow OR that we don’t like you.
just please be courteous && respect a roleplayer’s desire not to be reblogged. && please, if a roleplayer asks to delete a post of theirs, please do it. it can make them very nervous. have a nice day !!
