psa since it apparently needs to be said:
AN RPER CAN ROLEPLAY WITH MORE THAN ONE VERSION OF A MUSE IF THEY WANT.Â
I have seen it happening a lot lately and I donât know what the fuckâs gotten into you all, but a few friends have been getting shit or been made to feel like shit, whether intentional or unintentional, for roleplaying with more than one version of a muse.
Let me repeat: WHETHER IT IS INTENTIONAL OR NOT, IT IS NOT OKAY TO MAKE PEOPLE FEEL GUILTY OR FEEL LIKE SHIT FOR WANTING TO ROLEPLAY WITH MORE THAN ONE VERSION OF A MUSE.
Doesnât matter if threads are similarâof course theyâre going to be similar, theyâre the same character, written by two different people. Which brings me to my next point.Â
WRITTEN BY TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE. Threads may be similar but you bet your butt thereâs gonna be a lot of differences. Maybe an rper wants to explore different angles of an idea, different aspects, and sometimes that canât happen with just one version of a muse.Â
And you know what? Itâs perfectly okay for that to happen. NO TWO THREADS WILL EVER BE THE SAME BECAUSE MUSE B IS BEING WRITTEN BY TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE.Â
If youâre one of those people that donât like it when your rp partner roleplays with more than one version of a muse, then Iâm sorry, but youâre just gonna have to deal with it. Itâs not up to you, itâs their blog, and if you donât like it, just donât roleplay with them.Â
Whether you mean to or not, guilt tripping someone for roleplaying with more than one version of a muse really fucking sucks. Just donât do it.Â
And another reminder; This is roleplay, not a job. Relax a bit, mate. Take it easy.
some people might not like that. âexclusiveâ or âprivateâ blogs might just prefer one specific version of a muse.
you canât just go and say all this without exploring that thought. if people are being made to feel like shit for roleplaying with more than one of the same muse, then thatâs people being assholes and not a roleplayer as a whole problem.
the guilt tripping is a problem but it has nothing to do with who people prefer or what people prefer. even if itâs the reason; thatâs still no reason to just. jump up like this.
while i personally roleplay with as many variations as i can, there ARE certain versions i prefer the most and will exclusively only roleplay with them. for example: my girlfriendâs sona.
while this may need to be finished with (guilt tripping and general roleplayer harassment), this really isnât a point that needs to be said. itâs pretty much general thought.
i do appreciate, however, you bringing this to peoplesâ concerns. this is more of a point on roleplayer to roleplayer harassment than a general understanding of roleplayers.
