8. Name any three things about the rpc that bother you. /spill the fucking tea im ready
1 . Shy beans uwu . Like I would class myself as a shy person , but . . . but there’s honestly nothing I hate more about the rpc than people using shyness or anxiety as a kind of get out of jail free card for putting zero effort into initiating or sustaining interactions with other people . Yeah it can be scary approaching someone ? But if you want interactions sometimes you have to be the one to bite the bullet and get over yourself in that regard , but here we are and at least once every 3 days I’ll see some romper room fuckery post all like “ I’m anxious and I’ll unfollow / block you if we’ve followed each other for X amount of time and we haven’t interacted ” from someone who blatantly makes zero effort to initiate that ? Like . . . you’re so anxious that you can’t message someone to say “hey would you be interested in plotting” or just send them a random ask meme , but spicy , guilt trippy vagues for all the world to see are fine somehow ? RP is fucking entirely based on communication and people can’t engage with someone or something that doesn’t engage back so ?? Write fanfiction instead if all you can’t handle having to communicate with another human being .
2 . “Don’t write in tiny text because I can’t read it” well , you can zoom in , so that’s not my problem , Helen . I hate passive aggressive psas about “aesthetic” blogs , as if having nice graphics or formatting your posts in a specific way somehow devalues your writing in any way ? Yeah , there are definitely blogs who focus heavily on aesthetics and overlook / ignore blogs that don’t align with that but . . . that’s such a small minority of people ? Most of them don’t care about your personal aesthetic , they just want their own shit to look nice ? And a lot of these psa posts about blogs with “fancy graphics” sound like they come from a really embittered place when literally ?? Everyone learned to do their graphics from somewhere , just ask instead of shitting on the fun of people who have something you don’t ?
3 . Impulse deleting . It’s not real , let’s be honest . There are multiple steps involved in deleting your blog(s) and you can think about it every step of the way , you don’t just hit a button and “oops I’m so impulsive I deleted all my blogs and set my disco to invisible” , only to remake like a day later (miraculously with all the coding and pages saved and up to date with when you deleted) in the hopes of an influx of concerned messages . Don’t get me wrong getting away from tumblr is great for your mental health and I’d 100% recommend we all just delete but . . . this habit some people are in of deleting without saying a word to their friends and leaving them to worry isn’t a healthy coping mechanism to get away from distress , it’s a calculated decision and a big guilt trip , like just download a mindfulness app pls.
