#rpc rant

(We RPers need to branch out)

(After 12 years on this site, something I've noticed is that RPC tends to get insular. There's not much movement between fandoms, when we could make such great friends by reaching out. Kamen Rider RPC should interact with Sailor Moon RPC. Marvel 616 should interact with Mass Effect. Pretty Cure should be allowed to interact with Power Rangers.

Making a verse is one thing, but really you just need to invoke "Multiversal Shenanigans" as the vaguest reason for why Sailor Mercury and Lt. Cmdr Data are friends. You don't need a big dissertation to explain why SHAZAM and Vox Machina work well together. You can have Godzilla show up to wreck the Reapers and save the Alliance, no questions asked. Why? Because it's fun. And that's what RPing is all about, right?)

Sometimes I wish I wrote more popular muses so that I could get more engagement with my rp blogs than I do with my ocs. But at the same time I do love writing them a lot with the few people who come my way.

I feel like I might lose an rp partner I have enjoyed writing with in the next days or week. I hope I am wrong about this because I adore writing with them. I have just been noticing a lack of muse from them for our threads recently, though it tends to come in waves from them when it comes to engagement.

Do you ever just want to go back writing with an rp partner after like months even some years, but knowing that they have moved on or they deactivated completely. I miss so many plots with people I know I can't write with anymore.

I know that irl comes first and sometimes your rp/writing momentum can drastically decrease (12hrs in game rp session to 2-3 replies on discord). I know that it's okay and shouldn't be hard on myself. But after hearing my rp partner saying that they like rp in game more, find in game rp more engaging, doing/writing multiple rp with others at length while giving short reply to our own rp, I can't find myself to rp anymore. Our last in-game rp session was basically similar to our multiple old scenes. Even though the session only lasted 2 hrs, I was looking forward to the end just 10 minutes in. At this point I feel like my oc is just an npc in their story.

my partner only does fast replies when it comes to smut but we've done so much smut it's the last thing i want to do. all of our plots turn out the same. and if i bring it up to my partner they get defensive and start going on and on about how their writing sucks, etc. which is not what i'm trying to convey. i'm so frustrated with our plots (or lack thereof).

(I am sorry for posting this just now, it must have been sitting in my inbox for a while, please feel free to submit other vents) I wish I could offer you some advise, but if they don't understand what you are stating plainly then there is nothing much that I see being done in this situation.

Ugh, I or tumblr messed up and sent an rp meme from my main instead of on anon and I am not sure whether my partner knows that that's me. Well, if they remember it cause I told them earlier so idk we'll see how it goes. I'm just glad that we are going to write with each other again.

Its fine to have favorites but don't let your other partners and friends go ignored when you do. We deserve attention too and no one likes being the flavor of the month and getting put on a backburn when you get someone new and shiny to write with.
