About Roleplaying...

I will most likely RP with:

COTL Canon Characters

AU versions of COTL Canon Characters

COTL Original Characters

I might RP with:

Canon Characters from other fandoms that I know

Original Characters that might not be based on COTL, but can still fit within that world without breaking immersion

I will not RP with:

Personals/Real People

Characters from fandoms that I don't know or no longer have interest in

Immersion-breaking characters (Ex.: Humans, characters that break the 4th wall)

I usually reply to 1-2 threads a week, just to keep myself from burning out too quickly.  This might change depending on much muse and freetime I have. Most replies that you DO get from me will usually turn up within a two week time span.  However, you’re allowed to message me once or twice if I forgotten to get back to your thread within a month.  Sometimes I do tend to forget threads if I’m busy, or tend to drop them suddenly due to time constraints or I’m just not feeling for it anymore.

    However, if you feel I haven’t gotten to you in a while and you want to keep a certain thread going? Feel free to let me know.

I do not accept oneliners.  I find it very hard to work with replies that are very short, as it doesn’t give me much to work with.  The only exceptions for this rule are asks or people sending rp memes.

I might at times do some shorter "shitpost" or "crack rps" that can break character a little and will generally not effect my muses "canon". But outside of that I do not really have interest in RPs that break immersion. (Ex.: Something random happening that does not make sense in-universe)

Before trying to RP with me, please read Warnings and Rules as well

Want to RP with me?

NOTE: I will NOT answer these asks publicly so make sure either your Tumblr dms are open or you put another way of contacting you into the ask

Then send me an ask with this information:

Which of my muses/characters are you interested in roleplaying with? What characters/muses do you play? What themes, tropes or kinks are you most interested in? Hurt-comfort? Angst? Smut? Getting more deeply into plot and worldbuilding? What are your limits/ things you don't want to come up in the rp? What is your preferred RP platform and how can I reach out to you? What are your ideas for what we could RP? Where do Marigolds bloom? Optional: Give me a sample of your writing or even a prompt we could start our RP with

this is not really a question to strange sorry. do you have any tips for roleplaying? i’m trying to get into it but i’m not very good at it.

Create a blog for that.

Create your rules.

Research about the character you want to RP.

If you want to RP in different verses, specify them in your blog.

Write a bio page for your character so people who don’t know them.

Talk to another writer before just starting to RP with them, some people find that rude.

Read another writer’s rules before just starting to RP with them.

Write starter calls and publish them under your character tag.

If you’re an adult, do not RP anything not allowed for underage people, such as gore, blood, extreme violent stories, smut, NSFW etc.

If you intend to RP the things above, ask the writer if they’re adult before.

Do not RP such things with someone who doesn’t want to.

Avoid spamming people, unless they want (like me, I love being spammed with asks and reblogs).

If a person isn’t very interested, don’t be toxic.

Specify how long you normally take to reply, if you’re busy, if you’re accepting different verses or not, what kind of things you want to RP, what kind of things you don’t etc.

Talk to other RP blogs, ask them if they want to RP, take a look at their writing style and how their RPing is like to see if you’re interested or not before inviting them.

Don’t be rude to people, don’t offend people and don’t be upset if a RP partner just stops RPing. Normally it’s not personal. people need inspiration to write and sometimes, people aren’t in the mood, so yeah, don’t get too involved and don’t get too dependent on RPing, see it just as fun. I have great RP partners who just are too busy or not interested in it anymore and it’s okay, it was great while it lasted.

It’s okay to drop threads and start new ones, as long as you talk to the person you’re RPing with. They might think it’s rude if you drop the thread and disappear, so leave a note explaining why you’re not going to RP anymore etc.

Decide with the other person if you’re going to use icons or images or not and what kind of images.

DO NOT CONTROL THE OTHER WRITER’S CHARACTER. It’s considered a very rude thing to do and it sort of ruins the point of RPing. The fun in writing a story together is that each one controls their own character, if one person wants to force the story into something or control the other character, then it stops being fun and it becomes one sided. What the other character thinks, does, their wishes, their will, that’s up to their writer to decide.

DO NOT CREATE CHARACTER THAT INTERFERE WITH THE OTHER CHARACTER’S CANON WITHOUT ASKING THE WRITER FIRST. Like, my character is your character’s father/son/wife and I didn’t ask the other person first.

If you want to plot a story, talk to the person you want to RP first. Some people (like me) prefer act and react stories, meaning I don’t want spoilers for my own RPs, I like the story to flow. Other people like everything plotted.

Decide the type of RP you want to do, like, long text RPs, very short RPs, Ask blog style RPs, private RPs etc.

Don’t keep RPing if you’re not into it anymore, it’s supposed to be fun, not work.

ooc-

My mind has been all over the place these past days. I knew these last weeks would be hard but.. This is worse than expected. 

I can´t focus in work, I can´t focus in rps. I want to be self indulgent but.. I can´t even seem to figure out what to pick to indulge myself. I have no money for shopping sprees and is not healthy for me to eat my problems away, I´m tired. 

Anyway, I´ll try harder. 

Probably doing more asks and new threads in Kurt´s blog could help! 

[sweetlittlevampire]

I have a reply to be written over at Ariana’s blog, and some RP-based discussion with another blog for a potential thread, and what does my brain do?

CAT VIDEOS. OMG. MUST. WATCH.

...guess I’ll try again later.

Do you know anyone who RP?

Well I rp for starters and so does @dutchlovergirl, @onlygodcanjudgeme-sh and @thearchangelmoose if you wanna send them a message or an ask.

 --- I am not a good roleplayer.

But I am a good roleplayer in my own extent.

No one’s perfect. Just let that slide under and enjoy yourselves.
