SKELETOR IS ON THIS MEAN GREEN PEEN MACHINE AND HE IS HERE TO POISON YOUR CROPS AND SHAME YOUR KINKS.

[skeletorb]

I’VE BEEN UNEARTHED FROM MY CRYPT, AND NOT A MOMENT TOO SOON.

WHAT IN GOD’S NAME IS A CHERP AND WHY SHOULD I GIVE A SHIT.

[skeletorb]

Just remember Skeletor: You so money(supermarket)!

I WOKE UP FROM MY SLUMBER TO ASK, TRULY AND SINCERELY, WHAT THE FUCK?

[skeletorb]

what happened? :(

SHORT ANSWER: I’M TIRED.

LONG ANSWER: I’M TIRED ON AN EXISTENTIAL LEVEL THAT PREVENTS ME FROM BEING INTERESTED IN THE THINGS THAT USED TO BE MY PASSION. WHETHER OR NOT THIS IS PERMANENT REMAINS TO BE SEEN BUT I FEEL THAT NOW IS THE END OF AN ERA AND IT’S BETTER TO CLOSE THE BOOK TOO SOON THEN TO HAVE IT DRAG ON PAST THE POINT OF ANYBODY GETTING ANY GOOD OUT OF THE CONTENT I PUT OUT, SO SKELETORB, THOUGH WE LOVE AND CHERISH HIM, IS LEAVING FOR GOOD. THE MAN BEHIND THE SKELETON MIGHT RETURN ONCE HIS DRIVE AND ENTHUSIASM DOES, BUT YOUR DEAR OLD PAL SKELETOR IS GIVING HIS OLD BONES A REST.

THANK YOU FOR ALL THE GOOD TIMES, FOLKS. I KNOW WE’VE HAD OUR SPATS, BUT EVEN THE PEOPLE I’M NOT ON GOOD TERMS WITH HAVE HELPED MADE THESE THREE YEARS BEARABLE. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES AND REMEMBER:

[skeletorb]

WELL, FRIENDS AND FAMILY, IT’S BEEN A GOOD RUN, BUT YOUR DEAR OLD PAL SKELETOR IS GETTING THE AXE. FARE THEE WELL.

[skeletorb]

THE OFFICIAL CHERUBPLAY DISCORD HAS A CHANNEL SET ASIDE FOR SUGGESTIONS FOR THE SITE, AND BECAUSE OF IT, CHRISTMAS HAS COME EARLY FOR YOUR DEAR OLD PAL SKELETOR. IF YOU’RE INTERESTED IN HELPING TO SUGGEST NEW FEATURES AND IMPROVE THE SITE AS A WHOLE FOR EVERYBODY, YOU CAN DO SO BY JOINING HERE.

CHERUBPLAY CONTINUES TO BLESS US MERE MORTALS WITH THE NEWS THAT TROLLS IN GROUP CHATS ARE A THING OF THE PAST. NOW, IF YOU’RE THE ORIGINAL POSTER OF A GROUP CHAT PROMPT, YOU HAVE THE POWER TO REMOVE UNWANTED MEMBERS FROM THE CHAT INFO PAGE. TEST IT OUT NEXT TIME FUCKHANDS MCMIKE THINKS HE CAN GET IN THE WAY OF YOUR POLY RP AND ENJOY!

[skeletorb]

GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE. 

GO INTO THE INFO PAGES OF YOUR GROUP CHATS AND NOW YOU, TOO, CAN CHANGE YOUR HANDLE AS YOU LIKE. GONE ARE THE DAYS WHERE YOU FEEL THE SHAME AND AGONY OF BEING THE ONLY ONE WITH A MISSPELLED WORD. GONE ARE THE DAYS WHERE EVERYBODY ELSE’S HANDLE IS A FUNNY MEME AND YOU PICKED THE BORING CHOICE OF JUST THEIR NAME. GONE ARE ALL OUR FEARS, OUR WORRIES, OUR HUMILIATION, AT THE HANDS OF CHERUBMOD.

[skeletorb]

@h-otokichan is this what happens when ppl post group chat prompts in the homestuck fandom

IT’S NOT EVEN THE HOMESTUCK FANDOM, WHICH IS THE SUPER FUN PART. IT WAS FOR OCS IN AN ATLA UNIVERSE.

[skeletorb]

wahhh boo hoo trolls R mean wahhhh

IT'S NOT THAT THEY'RE MEAN, I'M A HELL OF A LOT MEANER ON A BAD DAY, IT'S THAT THEY'RE THE ONLY ONES THEY'RE ENTERTAINING AND I'M NOT ALL THAT FOND OF HAVING MY CHAIN YANKED FOR SOMEBODY ELSE'S AMUSEMENT. AT LEAST MAKE IT WORTH MY WHILE.THEY AREN'T EVEN GOOD AT TROLLING IF THEIR IDEA OF MASTER LULZ IS SPEWING SLURS THAT WOULD MAKE AN 11 YEAR OLD PLAYING COD ROLL THEIR EYES, THAT'S LIKE BABY'S FIRST /b/ POST.TRY HARDER.

[skeletorb]

@nimbocumulus IF YOU REALLY, TRULY, SINCERELY DIDN'T WANT ANYBODY TO SEE YOUR POST OR COMMENT ON IT, THEN LEARN HOW TAGGING WORKS. IF IT WAS HONESTLY, ACTUALLY, GENUINELY FOR YOUR OWN PERSONAL REFERENCE AND NOT FOR ANYBODY ELSE TO SEE, THEN MAKE SURE THAT IT'S NOT TAGGED "CHERUBPLAY" WITHIN THE FIRST FIVE TAGS. FIND AN ALTERNATIVE TAG. DON'T ACT LIKE POSTING IN A PUBLIC FORUM MAKES YOU IMMUNE TO CRITICISM IF YOU ONLY STIPULATE AFTER THE FACT, "BUH-BUH-BUT THAT WASN'T FOR YOU," WHEN MULTIPLE PEOPLE ARE JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE PUTTING OUT THERE COMES OFF AS ENTITLED OR DOESN'T CONSIDER THAT THERE ARE OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES AT WORK. THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT.

[skeletorb]

“WHY ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE TELLING ME I’M WRONG WHEN I MADE A PUBLIC POST ON MY PUBLIC BLOG AND PUT IT IN A PUBLIC TAG MEANT FOR DISCUSSION, DON’T YOU KNOW THAT RESPONDING AFTER I OPENED MYSELF UP TO CRITICISM IS ILLEGAL?!”

[autopastries-moved-deactivated2]

when you see a rly good prompt on cherubplay but they’re only accepting cis characters?? fuck of???

[skeletorb]

I, A TRANS PERSON, DON’T WANT TRANS CHARACTERS ON MY PROMPTS BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF CIS PEOPLE WITH A BASIC MISUNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BE TRANS CONNECTING TO EITHER A) TURN THEIR CHARACTER INTO A GROSS FETISH OR B) TURN THEIR CHARACTER INTO A WALKING SADSACK WITH NO PERSONALITY TRAITS OUTSIDE OF BEING TRANS AND MISERABLE. THERE IS NO IN-BETWEEN.

NOT FUN. NOT COOL. NOT GONNA HAPPEN, NOT ON MY PROMPTS, THANKS.

[autopastries-moved-deactivated2]

also i hate when i’m really enjoying a roleplay and the person just stops responding and like i get it but also it makes me feel like a bad writer and i would honestly rather they simply d/c rather than leave me hanging like that.

[skeletorb]

PEOPLE HAVE THESE THINGS CALLED JOBS. AND LIVES. AND RESPONSIBILITIES. AND HOBBIES THAT DON’T REVOLVE AROUND PRETENDING TO BE FICTIONAL CHARACTERS ON THE INTERNET. IT’S FUNNY HOW THAT HAPPENS.

[skeletorb]

i love how that person censored "motherfucking" but didnt bother to censor out the n word lmao

KEEPING IT CLASSY AND PEE-CEE, AS THE KIDS SAY. THAT’S HOW GOOD TROLLING WORKS, RIGHT?

[skeletorb]

FUN STUFF.

[cherubplaying]

tbh in terms of paragraph length, I know full well that sometimes I tend to ramble on a certain detail that I feel needs emphasis and ‘wow!’ ? It’s just my writing style, and It’s how I like to do things! But when you roleplay for long enough, you start to tell the difference between levels of effort in regards to your partner’s reply.

Like, I’ll never ask you to match length if that kind of thing isn’t your thing. (Especially when reply length in itself is a fluctuating thing! It varies depending on a bunch of infinite factors.) 

But I’ll probably be able to tell if you actually put effort into the reply, regardless of paragraph length. 

That’s the deal breaker for me, tbh. Not paragraph length, but an extension of effort - bc I put effort into everything I write. Both as a perfectionist and someone who just loves to write.

I love each of my partners who do the same, y’all beautiful and I love u. 

[skeletorb]

A WORD TO THE WISE: IF YOU CAN’T REASONABLY BE EXPECTED TO PUT OUT AT LEAST HALF OF YOUR PARTNER’S PROMPT LENGTH FOR THE FIRST REPLY, DON’T EVEN BOTHER TAKING THE PROMPT. THIS ISN’T EVEN ABOUT BEING A LENGTH SNOB, IT’S BEING FAIR TO THE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT WAS PUT INTO CREATING A STARTING PROMPT. 

IF SOMEBODY HITS THE DOUBLE DIGITS CRAFTING AN ELABORATE SCENARIO FULL OF DETAIL AND GIVES YOU ENOUGH TO WORK WITH FOR AN OPENING, GIVING THEM A SINGLE PARAGRAPH IS A SLAP IN THE FACE WHEN THEY PUT IN A GREAT DEAL MORE EFFORT THAN YOU, LOOKING AT THE BARE FACTS. 

SAY YOU FIND A PROMPT THAT’S 8 PARAGRAPHS, YOU REALLY LIKE IT, YOU KNOW IT’S FOR YOU, AND YOU WANT THAT SUCKER, SO YOU TAKE IT. YOU KNOW YOU CAN’T MATCH LENGTH, BUT YOU ASK WHAT THEY WANT ANYWAY. BE PREPARED TO WRITE AT LEAST 4. I DON’T CARE IF THEY AIM LOWER, THEN IT’S THAT MUCH LESS WORK FOR YOU, BUT BE PREPARED TO WRITE AT LEAST HALF AS MUCH IF YOU NEED TO, AND DON’T COMPLAIN ABOUT IT, DON’T TRY AND NEGOTIATE, BECAUSE I GUARANTEE IT WOULD BE WELL WITHIN THEIR RIGHTS TO DEMAND THAT YOU MATCH THEIR WORDCOUNT EXACTLY. 

THERE’S NOTHING WORSE THAN HAVING YOUR EFFORTS LOWBALLED AND GIVEN 15 MINUTES OF WORK FOR SOMETHING THAT TOOK HOURS OR DAYS OR EVEN WEEKS OF YOUR TIME, SO PLEASE HAVE SOME RESPECT FOR PROMPT WRITERS AND EITHER SHOW THEM THEIR EFFORT WAS WORTH SOMETHING OR PICK PROMPTS THAT CATER MORE TO YOUR PREFERRED LENGTH. THEY’RE OUT THERE, I PROMISE.
