Teen Wolf made a lot of mistakes but not letting Peter Hale be the sleazy but not evil basement uncle who just shows up to be irritatingly attractive and fashionable while he does something ridiculous like knit or embroider in the background while not actually turning out to be any kind of big bad again will always be one of the big ones.
I have never reblogged something so fast in my life
it’s exactly what you think it is
it’s exactly what I thought it was.
It has been, 500 years.
THIS IS MY JAM
TELL ME WHERE IS GANDALF
December 20th, 2013
I'm sorry to bother you, but I wanted to ask if you'd be willing to be a mod for my mcu rp community? I don't really know that many people but seeing what you've done in Only In Gotham, you're a great moderator and I may need help if the community takes off at all
//ah, im not big on marvel! i probs wouldn’t be mega active rping, but i’d check in to make sure no scammers or bots wiggle in, so if you do, i’d be happy to help
// thank you so much!!
Please Reblog is Your Blog is Safe for Non-Binary People.
If my mutuals can’t rb this then we can’t be mutuals
Ive said it before and ill say it again all kind people are welcome here.
If you don’t support nonbinary people, then get the fuck away from my blog
Besides it’d be really weird if I didn’t support nonbinary people considering that I’m agender
What the person above said.
Ugh my birthday is on the 26th and I can't not dread it. And then the week after I start junior year.
Does life really fall off after childhood? Is it really that bad?
Wakey wakey
eggs and bakey
i’m up.
good morning. I think
it’s morning now for me
1:35 am
it’s afternoon for me. 4:30PM.
oh wow
yeah.
no eggs and bakey for you
fuck.
sorry bub
it’s okay, tony soprano.
IM NOT
you are.
we’re divorcing and im taking our son.
we’re not even married. you can’t take fatson.
YES I CAN.
@theonlyfatsontodd
Will you be seeing red after taking this quiz?
I can only read “dogs” and only see anything in one other. I see nothing in any other.
8/10 but fuck, OW.
8/10 also!
I was born to live and read on Mars ig (or in a poppy garden)
I was born to live
and read on Mars ig (or in
a poppy garden)
Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
4/10 oops.
Why are you so freaky
You say it like it's a bad thing.
I like to interact with redhood, but now whenever i hear over to his page, the first thing I see is wierd flirting you too have going on
And it instantly kills my mood
Good!
Means more interaction from me and only me
Damn what do you even see in hood???
Things none of you will ever find.
??????
Ugly ass
The real question should be what does hood see in YOU
Why not ask him?
He says your fun
Damn, you're just a plaything eh
That and more.
Are you more or do you wish you were more?
We are more and will be wishing for more.
Huh? Like, what more?
That's something you're not gonna find out.
What the hell man, I bet you've written redhood x reader smut
I've written and read Superboy Prime x Red Hood fics, actually.
Look at how pathetic this is
That Ao3. Check here on Tumblr.
For refrence
More people ship him with his BROTHERS than you
I don't think 143 is comparable to the several thousands is it
Ohh. You're that kind of fan. Ugh.
Pseudoincest. Tsk tsk.
?????
Never once have I mentioned liking them
I'm just pointing out how irrelevant you are
That's an AND (&) and not a SLASH (/) tag Hater-Anon. Those two are different.
Alright then, I've done some filtering just for you
See how your name isn't even ON the list?
Jason gets shipped more with fricking DANNY PHANTOM than you, and he isn't even IN DC
Again, Ao3.
Ao3, is the voice of the people
Eh. There's a lot of sites were people can read fanfic.
What are you a Wattpad user????
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised
No hate on Wattpad users out here, but I'll let you know I am more. Guess you don't go much around sites that gives fanfic huh?
It shows.
Sigh
So you are one of THOSE people eh
Dude, just because you use some niche or rusty old site doesn't mean you're a fanfic expert or whatever
Lemme see, fanfiction.net is old and archaic, if you use deviant art for fanfictions you're CRINGE
There's that space thingy website that I've used for some one piece fanfictions
And if you use Tumblr for fanfictions, what are you doing with your life???
There's more oldy shit out there, but I don't really care about them so
And you're tryna be a fanfic expert now? Wow. Hey everyone! Look! The Anon-Hater is an expert in fanfics!
. . .
See how no one reacts? Cause no one cares.
Oh my god, what breed of moron are you????
There is nobody there because we are two figures typing shit out, one on one
OFCOURSE no one else is going to react
Absolutely dumbass
Me. A moron. Yikes. You're getting low on vocabularies Anon-Hater. Just so you know, we're totally on Tumblr right now. I have like, a lot of followers and friends who definitely sees this on their FYP.
I think you need to get yourself checked out.
"who definitely sees this"
Boy don't you dare try insulting me to get myself checked out with grammar like that.
And also, where are your many friends?
Where are your many followers?
Why haven't they stepped in to defend you?
Cool argument. Still sucks.
Well fuck you and your sad cat too
Two can play that game
You forgot Quotev....
America is an interesting country shaddup
Sadly it is
The gods wished for America to have a very interesting life. That was a threat.

Hey Tumblr people?? I need y'all's helppp.
So I found this Tumblr post on Pinterest years ago and I forget who the reblogs said the angel was. Basically it was:
"Two people are arguing about something stupid and an angel comes down from the clouds and speaks in a majestic and sweet voice while covering their mouth: No."
Can y'all help me find the angel?? Iirc, she had a very complicated name, too. Like more complicated than most angels ig?
I try to search it but all I get is adult content and ship stuff even when I put the text post filter. And uh. I've spent like 5 straight hours looking.
Mainly asking the Christian side of Tumblr bc the angel is one of your people so...pls help
How does the audit thing work?

SO, YOU’RE NEW TO ROLEPLAY?
A Friendly, Beginner-Safe Guide to Tumblr RP (G1N Edition)
Welcome!! If you’ve wandered into the Gotham 1 News inbox and thought:
“What does mun mean?”
“How do people write as fictional characters??”
“What is a private RP?”
“Do I have to be good at writing?”
“Do I even need a special account?”
“Why is everyone yelling about multiverses?”
“What am I supposed to DO?? 😭”
Then congratulations — you are exactly who this guide is for.
Tumblr RP can look intimidating from the outside, but it’s actually incredibly welcoming once you know the basics. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know, step by step, using clear examples and friendly language.
And at G1N, we specialize in being beginner-friendly — so you’re safe here.
✨ What “mun” means
Mun = the real-life person behind the blog. If someone runs an account as Wonder Woman, she is the muse (the character), and the human typing is the mun.
It just helps people know whether you’re speaking as the character or as yourself.
Extra info: Some people will write their OOC (“out of character”) comments in parentheses so you know which voice they’re speaking with. Examples:
((OOC: I’ll reply later!))
((Mun Note: Sorry for the delay, life is chaotic!))
— The Mun
You NEVER have to do this in a perfect or specific way. Everyone has their own style.
✨ What an RP account is
An RP account is a Tumblr blog where you pretend to be a fictional character. You “write” as that character in asks, posts, and threads — like acting, but through text.
There’s no special setup required. Your blog is your character when you talk in-character.
You can make your own storylines with that character and it does NOT have to be related to canon at all.
You can even change the character to be anywhere from slightly to completely different from that character's canon (we call this the Multiverse: Anything can be explained via different multiverse, timeline, or dimension!!)
Extra info: On Tumblr, most RP blogs fall into loose categories, and you don’t have to pick one — but here are the terms you’ll see:
Canon Blog: Writes the character as they appear in the official source.
AU Blog: “Alternate Universe.” The character is changed but recognizable.
OC Blog: “Original Character.” Entirely created by the mun.
Crossover Blog: Mixes fandoms (ex: Naruto meets Batman).
Crack Blog: Chaotic, meme-heavy, not serious.
Serious Lit Blog: Writes long, descriptive prose.
ALL of these are valid. You don’t have to “fit” in any box to RP.
✨ How RP interactions work here at G1N
You can send asks to us as your character, and we’ll respond as Gotham 1 News, like you’re in a shared universe.
Totally beginner friendly! You don’t need fancy writing or special formatting — just talk as your character would.
Examples:
“Hello G1N, this is my detective reporting a strange creature sighting—”
“My hero would like to submit a tip to the newsroom.”
“My witch character wants to yell about whatever just came out of the sewers.”
We accept: ✔️ Canon characters ✔️ OCs (That means your own Original Character; someone not written into the canon of a universe, but instead you created it to be there, like if you wanted your character to be Tony Stark's kid in the Marvel universe; that's an OC! For another example, Gotham 1 News is actually an OC!) ✔️ Crossovers from literally any universe ✔️ Multiple versions of the same character ✔️ Silly, serious, chaotic — whatever your vibe is
If you ever get stuck, just ask! We’re happy to help.
Extra info: You can write in ANY length:
One sentence
A paragraph
Multi-paragraph
A meme-style dialogue
ACTIONS in asterisks
Or just vibes
There is no “wrong” way to RP here.
✨ What “THIS IS FOR A PRIVATE RP” means
Sometimes people want a news story written just for their storyline.
If you add:
THIS IS FOR A PRIVATE RP
that tells us:
We’ll write the news report
But other people won’t jump into your thread
It’s only for your character and whatever story you’re working on
We won’t treat it like an open starter for everyone else
If you don’t write this, we assume others are allowed to join in and interact with the news post. Sometimes, a roleplay thread will say "CLOSED RP". This is the same thing; they're asking for it to be private.
Extra info: Public threads = great if you want to meet other RPers. Private threads = great if you’re building your own dedicated story.
Both are equally valid.
✨ What is a pinned post?
A pinned post is a post we put at the very top of the blog so it’s the first thing you see when you visit. It's not required; but it makes RP so much easier! Think of it like the front door sign or welcome desk of the blog.
It’s where we put:
how to interact with us
what this blog is about
important info for roleplayers
quick guidelines so you’re never confused
any rules you want for interaction (i.e. This blog is 18+ only! or No NSFW please!)
any artwork of your character (if you want!)
description of your character (again, not required, but still fun!)
yours and/or character's pronouns
character's backstory
Make sure to always check another RP's pinned post before interacting! It will save a lot of confusion. If you’re new, start with making yours — it tells everyone everything they need to know before jumping in!
Extra info: Pinned posts can also include:
DNI lists (Do Not Interact)
Trigger warnings
Shipping rules
RP preferences
Connection lists
Verses (different versions of your character)
Again: You DO NOT need all of this. You can add things slowly over time.
✨ What if I don’t know how to ‘sound like’ my character yet?
Totally normal. Most people grow into their character over time.
You can:
Write short replies
Use emojis
Write however feels natural
Change your style later
Ask questions whenever you need to
RP is about fun, not perfection.
Extra info: A lot of RPers start off nervous and gradually become SUPER confident. There is no timer. You learn by doing.
The ONLY rule is: Have fun.
✨ What tags you should know
Not required, but helpful:
IC = in-character
OOC = out-of-character (you speaking as the mun)
RP = roleplay
Ask = a message someone sends your blog
Starter = a post you can jump into to start an interaction
Thread = the ongoing back-and-forth between characters
Mun — the real person
Muse — the character
You’ll learn the rest as you go — promise.
Extra info: Other common tags you might see:
Queue — pre-scheduled posts
Headcanon — your personal take on a character
Mains/Exclusives — people you RP with the most
Verse — a specific AU or storyline
Dash-only RP — RP happening on the dashboard, not in reblogs
Reblog Karma — “If you reblog a meme from me, send one back” (optional rule)
You DO NOT need to use these unless you want to.
✨ So basically:
“Mun” = the real human behind the blog
You send asks as your character
We reply as Gotham 1 News
Write “THIS IS FOR A PRIVATE RP” or "CLOSED RP" if you want a story only for you
Crossovers and beginners are 100% welcome
You do NOT need special formatting, skills, or experience
You’re already doing great just by asking! If you need anything — explanation, tips, or help starting — we’ll happily walk you through it 💛
✨ How to Start Your Own RP Account
Starting an RP account on Tumblr is way easier than it looks — promise! Here’s a simple step-by-step guide so you can jump in without stressing:
1. Make a new Tumblr blog (or turn your current one into an RP blog)
You can:
Make a sideblog just for RP
Or turn your main into an RP blog if you prefer
Most people use sideblogs so their regular posts stay separate, but either way works!
2. Pick your character
Your character can be:
Someone from any canon (DC, Marvel, anime, etc.)
A completely original character (OC)
A version of a canon character you changed or customized
A mash-up, AU, multiverse variant — literally anything
There is no wrong choice. Pick someone you love or someone you think would be fun to write.
3. Choose a username
Your username can be:
Your character’s name
Something themed (“batboy-archives,” “star-witch-files”)
A pun
Something aesthetic
Or literally anything
Don’t overthink it — you can always change it later.
4. Write a pinned post
This is your blog’s “welcome desk.”
It usually includes:
Who your character is
Your boundaries or rules (if any)
How others can interact with you
Whether you’re okay with private RPs
Your pronouns
Your character’s pronouns
Anything else you want people to know before they start writing with you
RP blogs without pinned posts tend to confuse people — this one step makes everything easier for everyone.
5. Add a small bio or character info
Not required, but very helpful.
You can include:
A short personality overview
Abilities/powers
Appearance
Their job or role
Their universe
Doesn’t need to be long — two sentences is totally fine! You can always expand later.
6. Make an intro post
This tells the RP community: “Hi, I exist!”
Your intro can include:
Who you write
What universes you’re comfortable with
Whether you accept asks
Whether crossovers or OCs can interact
Your general vibe
Tag it with:
#rp
#roleplay
#rp community
#open rp
#ask game
And tags related to your character (like #dc rp or #marvel rp)
This helps other RPers find you.
7. Start interacting
You can:
Send asks to others as your character
Reblog someone’s starter post and join the thread
Reply to open starters
Make your own starter
Answer asks people send you
Chat OOC to make friends
React to posts in-character
There is no wrong way to start.
8. Don’t worry about writing style
Some people:
Write long paragraphs
Write short sentences
Write in scripts
Use emojis
Don’t use punctuation
Write like it’s a novel
Write like it’s memes
Whatever feels natural is correct.
You’re not being graded. RP is creative chaos. Enjoy it.
9. Learn as you go
Every RPer learns by doing — everyone. Even the 10-year veterans.
You’ll pick up:
Formatting styles
How threaded RPs work
How to plot
How to make a starter
Your character’s voice
What you enjoy
You do not need to know everything up front.
10. The golden rule: communicate
If you’re confused, ask. If something feels overwhelming, ask. If you want to start a thread but don’t know how, ask.
RP is built on communication, not perfection.
✨ New RPer Checklist (So You Don’t Forget Anything!)
A super simple list to help you get started without feeling overwhelmed:
Before You Start
✔️ Pick a character (canon or OC) ✔️ Decide if you want a sideblog or main blog ✔️ Choose a username ✔️ Set an icon + header (optional, but helps people recognize you)
Set Up Your Blog
✔️ Write a pinned post ✔️ Add your pronouns + your character’s pronouns ✔️ Write a short bio or character sheet ✔️ Add tags to your pinned post (so people can find it) ✔️ Set up a tag system if you want (like #ic, #ooc, #starter, etc.)
Make Yourself Visible
✔️ Write an intro post: “Hi, I write X character!” ✔️ Tag it properly (#rp, #roleplay, #open rp, etc.) ✔️ Follow other RP blogs ✔️ Like or reblog posts from the RP community so they know you exist
Start Interacting
✔️ Send your first ask (IC or OOC) ✔️ Reblog a starter ✔️ Respond to asks people send you ✔️ Write a small starter post of your own ✔️ Communicate your comfort level (length, tone, whatever makes you comfy)
General Good Habits
✔️ Be nice ✔️ Don’t pressure yourself to be perfect ✔️ Tell people if you need time to respond ✔️ Put “THIS IS FOR A PRIVATE RP” when needed ✔️ Reblog memes, ask games, etc. to help people interact with you ✔️ Take breaks — RP should be fun, not stressful!
✨ Common Mistakes New Roleplayers Make (And How to Avoid Them)
RP is easy once you understand the basics, but beginners often fall into the same little traps. Here’s how to dodge them like a pro:
❌ Mistake 1: Overthinking everything
People worry: “I don’t sound like my character!” “My writing isn’t good enough!” “What if I mess up the rules?”
✔️ Fix: RP is improv. Jump in messy. You’ll learn by doing, not by waiting.
❌ Mistake 2: Not reading someone’s pinned post
Every RP blog has different rules and preferences. Missing those can cause confusion.
✔️ Fix: Check pinned posts before interacting. It solves 99% of misunderstandings instantly.
❌ Mistake 3: Thinking you need long paragraphs
You don’t! Some people write two words. Some write novels. Both are valid.
✔️ Fix: Write whatever feels natural. Length does not equal quality.
❌ Mistake 4: Panicking about formatting
Fancy formatting is optional. Bold, italics, icons, gifs, fancy dividers — all optional.
✔️ Fix: Start simple. You can evolve your style later.
❌ Mistake 5: Feeling like you need a huge backstory before starting
Many beginners freeze because they think they need a full wiki page.
✔️ Fix: Start with a few facts. Build the rest as you RP.
❌ Mistake 6: Taking on too many threads at once
You get excited, jump in everywhere, and suddenly have 20 RPs to respond to.
✔️ Fix: Start with 1–3 threads. Add more once you’re comfortable.
❌ Mistake 7: Comparing yourself to veteran RPers
Others might have been doing this for years. That’s okay.
✔️ Fix: Don’t compare — everyone starts somewhere. Veteran RPers love new people.
❌ Mistake 8: Thinking you “missed your chance” to reply
Some beginners think: “It’s been too long. I can’t respond now.”
✔️ Fix: You can always reply. Days, weeks, months later. RP time is fake.
❌ Mistake 9: Not communicating when confused
Everyone gets lost at first.
✔️ Fix: Ask questions. RPers love helping new folks.
❌ Mistake 10: Not having fun
If it feels like homework, something’s wrong.
✔️ Fix: Write what makes you excited. Your joy is the best fuel for RP.
✨ How to Send Your First RP Ask (Step-by-Step)
This section is for the absolute beginners who don’t even know what an “ask” looks like yet. Here’s a simple guide:
1. Decide if you want to send the ask IC or OOC
IC = in character
OOC = out of character, you speaking as yourself (the mun)
If IC, write like your character would speak. If OOC, write like “Hi! Quick question—”
2. Go to their ask box
On desktop: blogname.tumblr.com/ask On mobile: scroll to find the ask button.
3. Write your message
Examples:
IC examples (your character speaking):
“Gotham 1 News, this is Detective Hawthorne. I’m reporting smoke rising from Crime Alley.”
“My witch found something glowing in the sewers. Should we be concerned?”
“This is Captain Solaris of the Starship Astraeus requesting a broadcast frequency.”
OOC examples (you speaking as mun):
“Hi! New to RP — can my character interact with your latest post?”
“Quick question: what’s the best way to start a thread with you?”
4. Add “THIS IS FOR A PRIVATE RP” if necessary
Only if you don’t want others joining in.
If not, leave it out — most people love open interactions.
5. Hit send
That’s it. You’re RPing now. You did the thing.
6. Wait for their response
People reply at different speeds. Hours, days, weeks — it’s normal.
7. Continue the thread
When they reply, you:
Reblog their response
Add your character’s reply underneath
Keep going back and forth
That back-and-forth is “a thread.”
8. Don’t be afraid to send follow-up asks
You can send silly asks, serious ones, chaotic ones — whatever fits your character.
RP thrives on interaction.

No lice. And I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go and get my hair cut sometime this year. Just depends on when I remember.
