✖ How has Tumblr RP changed since you started?
Oh hmm. I’ve been here for almost 6 years now, and I don’t know how much of what’s changed can be attributed to hopping fandoms/characters, how much is that I grew as a roleplayer and acclimated to the culture, and how much is legitimate change. Tumblr has definitely changed in terms of functionality. Between Tumblr updates and XKit, I like rping via browser way more than I used to. Now, if the app would just get it together.
✿ What do you think about public call out posts?
Honestly, I find them really unnecessarily negative and dramatic most of the time. I feel like I should add the caveat that I don’t necessarily feel that way about all of them? It’s mostly about intent. Call out posts because someone is mad/salty/had their feelings hurt/is trying to humiliate another RPer make me super uncomfortable and leery of writing with that person. Call out posts that warn of a legitimate danger/have evidence/etc. are something else. I have a really low threshold for drama though, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
♦ What was a mildly annoying thing that has happened to you rp wise?
I’m kind of hard to annoy, and most of the time things that annoy me in the moment are just funny later. The most recent thing that comes to mind is, I was writing with someone where our characters had just absolutely no chemistry in any romantic sense, and it was a character I explicitly said in my rules that I didn’t feel comfortable shipping, and the other person just kept more and more blatantly trying to seduce my character and then getting offended when it didn’t work. It’s one of those things that was really aggravating in the moment, but it’s kind of funny now.
❣ How salty are you feeling right now?
Maybe a 4.5 on the salt scale. XD
♒ Thoughts on the fandom you’re currently rping in?
I’m kind of straddling two fandoms right now, which is interesting, and culturally very different. My experience so far has been that the Marvel RP community is a little bit more serious business than the corners of the Doctor Who community I hang out/hung out in. I’d never even heard of having a rules page until I started Bucky. I enjoy them both, though <3
