To me bubble roleplaying is when someone only talks to one or two people, even if everyone is online in a group. It is not talking to someone more because they are online at the same time as you. As long as you’re still talking to everyone who is around, I don’t think it’s bubble roleplaying.
Bubble roleplaying, to me, is when groups get clique-y, and roleplayers only ever roleplay with a certain group or people, whether it be because they like them IC or OOC. More often than not they'll only log in every so often and only reply to those people, just to scrape through activity. It sucks.
Today I’m going to pose a question for the crowd. I have a list of these that I was thinking I could pose once a week as like a theme day thing. So today I ask you: What is your definition of bubble roleplaying?
psa: wbsrpg
I am beyond floored.
I have been so grossly mistreated today that my instinct was to crawl upon my bed, wrap myself in my sheets, and sob. But I know myself, and I know I cannot allow myself to give in to that instinct. I need to channel this hurt into something, something that can serve as a kind of warning.
I’m not sure what else there is to do.
I just need to contextualize all of this and say that I was astounded at the quality of We Bleed Silver roleplay, and it was with excitement that I applied and awe that I joined. I felt as if I could take on the world when I was accepted, and the fervor with which I roleplayed for my short time there reflected that. I attacked paras and chats left and right, plotted out of character, and wrote poem upon poem and letter upon letter for my character, Juliana Provos.
Today I was kicked out of the roleplay. I would be lying if I said I didn’t shed a few tears, as much as I tried to remove myself from the situation and recognize it was just a roleplay on the internet. The truth of the matter is that I am a sensitive individual, and these things have a way of affecting me.
The story of my ejection from We Bleed Silver does not span days, only hours. The fact that just this morning I was writing a six-hundred word para reply chills me. I didn’t know the kind of emotion roller coaster I was about to board today.

If you follow the same blogs I do, then I can only assume that at some point you’ve seen this post floating around (the original has been deleted for the benefit of swiftofrph, and I support that). Let me just be blunt here – I wrote it. When writing the post, I wished to remain anonymous, though I knew that the person it was directed at would know it was me. Clearly that point was misunderstood to her, as my name was explicitly used in her response.
I’m going to start by saying this – I don’t regret it, and I believe every word written. If you know me at all, then you know I don’t like to get involved in things like this, so why would I suddenly get involved in something that she calls ‘false’ unless I knew for sure it was true? I wouldn’t. And I haven’t. For the first time ever, I have involved myself in something like this, and I stick by it – I don’t regret it.
Throughout this whole drama, though, I’ve only regretted one thing – involving whereforequidditch-rp. When writing the post, both Beth and I were in an emotionally distraught place, and it was wrong of us to involve the RP which is co-admined by somebody I’ve come to the conclusion is quite kind and doesn’t deserve this. I’m sorry it was done in the nature that it was, and I hope WQ doesn’t receive backlash for it. The post was meant to involve one person, and including a RP of which is not theirs alone was unfair, and probably catty, on my part, and I’m sorry.
I’m sorry I’ve caused more drama then I wished to, as well, but still, I don’t regret it. If you wish to talk about this further and ask for why I still believe Beth, then go ahead – I stick by her, and I’m sick of being quiet about it. No one deserves to be bullied to a point of causing panic attacks, especially not Beth. Why would we lie about something like this? For attention? I didn’t even want attention in the first place – I wanted to be anonymous. We’ve both had our own panic attacks over this situation and we’re both sick of it. I’m sorry if I ‘disappointed’ people, or made them upset/angry, that wasn’t my intention, but I’m not going to apologize for writing the post. Once again, I stick by it, and that’s that.
If you have any questions regarding this subject, then please direct them towards me. I would hope that you didn’t, but I’m not going to deny you the right of being curious, even if it is unnecessary. I will answer as many as I can, and in the meantime, I am putting myself on a semi-hiatus. My real life is too busy at the moment to get further involved in things like this.
Once again, I’m sorry for any unnecessary drama I caused, and I hope you can forgive me for that. Thank you for being patient so far, and thank you for remaining patient with Beth and I during this stressful time.
Love, Tri
PSA ABOUT TARTLEWRITES
This PSA is going to be a bit of a mumble jumble of negative vibes. I’m going to have to go a few years back to really make sure you fully understand the manipulative nature of this girl. In short,this post is calling out @tartlewrites.
The main culprit here is Kacie (tartlewrites). I, myself, have known Kacie for just under two years, but the main victim here has known her for much longer (we would both prefer to remain anonymous). Both the victim and I were involved in Kacie’s roleplay War at Hogwarts from 2014-2015, and there Kacie continuously bullied her fellow admin (behind her back, mind you). That admin/member was constantly sent anonymous messages(receipt #1) about her inactivity on her blog, and eventually Kacie kicked her out. Later on in the RP, Kacie’s own activity completely fell, just as the other’s had, and yet she passed that off with a mere apology, rather than admitting that she was doing what she had previously kicked people out for.
I, personally, lost contact with Kacie after that RP fell through. I fell for her fondness, though, and still remained positive towards her when I occasionally came across her in other RP’s. She was never really my best friend, or anything; in fact, we never really got close, but for some reason I always craved her attention. My friend, on the other hand, was her best friend. Remember that main victim I was talking about earlier? Yeah, same person. My friend (I’m going to call her Jane, but that’s not her real name), confided in Kacie with some very personal things, and Jane trusted that her personal feelings were safe with Kacie. Jane ended up receiving multiple anonymous messages last year, including messages telling her to kill herself, and she talked to Kacie about how these things were really getting her down and triggering her anxiety/depression. I, myself, received messages regarding my activity of the RP’s in which Kacie was in (receipt #2), but I thought nothing of it.
Here’s where things really start to grow blindingly obvious – a few weeks ago, Kacie approached Jane and told her she couldn’t be friends with her because her anxiety and depression made her ‘an attention whore’ and ‘manipulative’ (unfortunately I cannot give evidence, as Jane wisely removed Kacie from the media on which the messages were received). Jane then discovered that Kacie was now friends with the people who told Jane to kill herself a while back, and that these were the same people who were causing trouble with the RP that Jane had opened in July of 2015 and Kacie was a part of.
Kacie was consequently kicked out of said RP, and not long after, Jane received messages from a tracked IP (tracked to Kacie, of course) in regards to how she kicked Kacie out, calling her ‘insecure’ and a ‘catty bitch’ because of it (receipt #3 & #4). Jane was shaken up, but she didn’t wish to cause a fuss, and thus left it be. Kacie persisted however, sending even more messages regarding the other RP the two were in together (receipt #5) and calling her even more names (receipt #6).
This was when the situation was brought to my attention. Jane has reached a point of falling into an episode due to these messages, and yet still it seems they persist. Not only were there messages, now, but it seemed Kacie thought it would be fun to start up her own RP (whereforequidditch-rp), which is nice and all, except for the fact that she persists in gathering up past and present members of Jane’s RP, possibly just to spite Jane. These past members have been told terrible things about Jane, and were convinced to also send nasty messages to Jane. Not only this, but this RP is strikingly similar to@fairveronasrp (a RP of which Jane and Kacie are both are part of), particularly character wise (and this can’t just be blamed on the fact that they’re both Shakespearean RP’s).
Now Jane and I just don’t know what to do. We need people to be aware of the type of person Kaciereally is, since it seems she’s intent on pretending it’s not her that’s sent messages like those (even though there’s evidence), and continues to post about how she wishes to be a better person at the same time that she does things like this. Her RP seems to be gaining popularity, and it makes both Jane and I incredibly nervous to think that that many people might be rallying behind her. Kacie is, when it comes down to it, manipulative and nasty, and on top of that, two-faced, and we don’t want what has happened to Jane to happen to anyone else. Please, if you can, spread the word by reblogging this post – Jane and I would both really appreciate if people knew who she really was.
Thank you for your time x

I hate when you join a roleplay that claims it’s super active and within the first 48 hours of joining there’s only been about 10 posts. It’s not super active. It’s dying. I get that it’s a technique used to draw people in but it really doesn’t make people want to stay.
When someone constantly messages you to plot but they don’t know which character they want to plot with. Or what plot they want. Or anything. They just go chasing you for plots and then expect you to come up with everything. If you chase someone for plots at least have an idea of what you want.
Can we talk about face claims for a minute? If you run an appless roleplay you can’t dictate someone else’s initial face! In fact it shouldn’t matter at all if someone wants to change their face later down the line. It in no way affects you unless they do it like 10 times to the same character. But on that note you also don’t get to choose who they change faces to. You don’t get to tell someone that because you don’t like someone, that person can’t play them.
And on that note if you do that and say no to someone’s face, YOU CAN’T THEN GO AND RECOMMEND THAT FACE TO SOMEONE ELSE! You can’t go on and on and on about how you hate someone to one person and then say another person can play them. You also can’t only accept a face on the proviso that that character ships with yours so you can have a FC ship. It’s not fair to the player and it makes the player feel like all their character is is their face.
Last night I got an ask on a character that I play in my own roleplay. An anonymous one that I’m still trying to wrap my head around. Someone asked if I could make one of my characters straight so that they could make a female to ship with him. Well more accurately, “make someone who would actually want to ship with him.”
Now if anyone is wondering this character’s face is Chris Evans. He’s loud, he’s a troublemaker, he’s a lot of fun, but he’s also a sweetheart. I’ve been playing him for almost a year now and this is the first time someone has come to me about his sexuality. Wouldn’t it be some form of Godmodding to force someone to change their character’s sexuality?
And another thing, even if that ask had come off anon and I had changed him... why would I want to ship him with your character anyway? You’ve just told me that he would only be wanted because of his sexuality. Anyway I started to feel like I was being told that all my character is is his sexuality and that really annoyed me. So I went to bed angry and stewed on it all night.
If you get someone calling out a group, and the group admin or another member comes and proves that it's bullshit/not exactly truthful, will you take the post down? Because people do petty things, I've seen it happen, and innocent groups get completely trashed because of it. Which, is something I may send you a horror story about.
If that happened and the group admin or other members came to me off anon so we could talk about it privately, I would take it down and then maybe write a quick thing about this is what was said, however it has proven to be untrue and this is how easy it was for me to get to that conclusion. I’ve been there too and it’s not fun getting accused of something that didn’t happen.
However if someone just said on anon “that’s not true” or something, well I have no way to prove that and all it really does is start people trying to attack each other through my inbox. I know this is a place to vent, but it is not a place to attack.
But definitely send me some stories about that happening.
Okay, it’s late which means I’m going to have to go to bed. I will return in the morning to continue my checking out RPH’s to follow, and posting another story or two based on my experience. Anyway if you have been in a terrible roleplay, been treated like crap by members of your own, or just plain find something annoying, my ask box and submit are always open. Feel free to have a rant, it will make you feel better and I will more than likely sit here on your side. And if you send your story via submit it will be copied into a new text so you will remain anonymous. Even feel free to IM me, even if it is just to say hi. I’d really love to get to know some more people in the community. Alright, good night and I always want to hear your stories.
PSA ABOUT MIAMIBEACHRPG
Please know I didn’t write this but it is very important you spread this around. Also know I will not be answering any questions about this as it’s not my experience! Thank you - Taylor.
ALLNIGHTRP began as a boarding school rp back in August 2015. I began it with a friend of mine because a roleplay we’d been a part of had ended. Over the next few months my friend became busy with school so I in turn, took on a few more admins.
As we progressed, there was some drama with a few members in the rp who had a problem with, what at the time they expressed to be strictly with me. I was called some names in a very immature fashion and these players decided to leave. That was fine until they, along with one of our admins, took it upon themselves to create their own rp that was almost exactly a carbon copy of ours; the plot, the set up, their gossip blog, nearly exact copies. If that wasn’t enough, they went around messaging other members of our rp telling them to join theirs instead.
Now I understand that some of these players had negative feelings toward me, but that doesn’t give them the right to take someone else’s work and use it. When confronted about these things, each admin had a different answer in which they took turns blaming one another. At one point, the slightest bit of truth slipped out. One of them told us they’d decided to “continue” our rp, without the permission of the two original admins who designed the rp in the first place. When I explained that they couldn’t just “continue” a roleplay where the original concept and ideas didn’t belong to them, they said “that’s kind of what we’re doing now? lolol.”
We’ve received many anonymous messages since they opened, many of which we have not answered, informing us of things that look copied and how they continue to talk shit about us. But even then, after all of this, we’ve moved on. However today we received an anonymous message telling us that they had taken another one of our tasks, this time from two months ago, and used it as their most recent task. The write up is so similar to ours, even swiftofrph said it looked like it was copy/pasted from our page.
If you feel unwanted in a rpg and want to leave, that’s fine. If you want to start your own rp afterwards, that’s fine too. But it’s actually against the law to take someone else’s work and claim it as your own. It’s called plagiarism and it’s not only disgusting but inexcusable.
So I just got my new sidebar and I am actually in love. It is perfect, so again thank you so much for it! So I will be around for most of the night, I’ll be drafting my own stories but I would certainly love to see yours. Whether it’s an admin talking about being attacked for enforcing their own rules, or people complaining about some that they don’t like seeing, send them to me.
Same anon, hi love. I do understand all of that, I really do, however a lot of the time we ban an FC is because the people playing it have given it a bad reputation. People such as Ariana Grande, the 1D boys, ect, are known for illiterate rpers. And that is purely the fault of the people who play them. Some people don't understand that you don't have to use that faceclaim, you can very well pick another one you like.
People who have moved on and have a good about of resources AWAY from Disney, Nick, all that stuff are perfectly fine. It's those who are very stuck in those places that we cannot accept into certain roleplays. Think about it this way- someone using Selena Gomez (who has most of her GIFs from when she was about 16) in a smut rpg.. There are bans for a reason. All I'm saying is that it's irritating when people give you shit, without even asking or thinking about the implications of using a certain faceclaim in the group. I wasn't hating <3
This blog is for venting, whether it’s yours as an admin or anyone else’s. Don’t worry, Hun. I completely understood what you were saying. I was trying my best to be objective and talk about both sides of it. I’m still wrapping my head around attacking both you guys and the other members. That is so very very wrong. Also it goes back to what I have posted before, the faceclaim is not the character. And I liked seeing that, an admin venting about something like that. That’s what I’m here for. Unload on me your worst roleplayer stories.
In response to your 'peeve' about the fcs being banned- us Admins have many reasons. And it peeves us off when we get attacked for it, as I have in the past. We take a lot of shit for things that we shouldn't, I and my members have been called 'illiterate fucks' because I refused to let a Justin Beiber into my group. It's not right. It is our decision and if you don't like it, don't join the group.
I think you’ll find the peeve actually says it’s annoying when the list is so vague. I personally have banned faces before. I’ve banned Phoebe Tonkin because of how horrible one roleplayer made our roleplay feel by using her. I’ve also be called many different variations of the term “whitewashing bitch” for it.
“AT LEAST GIVE AN EXPLANATION TO YOUR RIDICULOUS BANNED FC LIST” is exactly what the reblog says. I reblogged it, I didn’t write it. I did add the end bit because if you ban everyone who has been on Disney or Nickelodeon you would not be able to use most popular face claims today. But I do agree with parts of it. If you ban all musicians you ban literally everyone who has released some form of a song. It’s just a case of being specific.
What you mentioned, yourself and your members being called “illiterate fucks”-- that isn’t right. It makes the person doing it seem pathetic. You’re right, just don’t join the group. And anyone who attacks an admin or another roleplayer over something like that, especially if they do it anonymously, you wouldn’t be welcome in that roleplay anyway. Why would they bother accepting you with a different face now? Admins aren’t stupid either, most of the time they know it’s you.
My biggest pet peeve
THE FACECLAIM IS NOT THE CHARACTER!
I hate when my character straight off the bat gets treated like their face or a popular character their face plays. I once played Tyler Hoechlin as the sweetest ball of sunshine but everyone treated him like Derek Hale. I’ve played Lily James as a total bitch, and everyone acted like she was a child playing a part. Hollywood RPs I do kind of understand, but Original Characters are not their faces! Treat them like a character, treat them like themselves.
