Hi! I was just wondering if you know where I can find any family tree type themes? Thank you!

I can’t think of any off the top of my head, but personally I’d create one on my own just on MS Word or Inspiration 9, take a screenshot, and post.

That way, you can edit the tree to fit the family you’re trying to map out rather than move around a template that might not suit the family at all.

Hope it helps!

EDIT: haileyroleplays said: @ last anon, i use familyecho to make family trees :D

How long does a pregnancy last in rp time?

I’d say anywhere between a month IRL to three months — or as long as it takes you to get through all the paras. (i.e. morning sickness, doctor’s consultations, struggles of being pregnant, how hormones affect your character’s personality, friendship/relationship complications, when her water breaks, having the baby, etc.)

Hope it helps!

what makes something an lsrp?

The standards of being a LSRPG are as follows.

Don't use a monochrome/gradient colour scheme

Do not base your group in/around Hollywood

Have a legitimate plot/setting

The group must be administrated by people that are serious about roleplaying.

Zoey, I hope you have time for this type of question/not so much a question. Dunno how to describe it. The point is, I'am making a OC character, who I don't know how to describe her personality. Because I don't think she falls into the description of a bitch, I hope you can help me in finding a adjective to describe her because is kinda of crucial for me. She's sarcastic, and she tends to respond a little bit of rude/sassy sometimes, yet, she's not impolite and she is not egocentric.

I think the word you're looking for is acerbic. The definition of this word is sharp and forthright. Hope it helps!

important: do you, or anyone, know how to upload gifs while avoiding the grey boxes? it does not work anymore. is this the end of all gif-rp-chats cause if you can't upload them, and copy & pasting is too much work cause you gotta keep the gifs somewhere. please help ?? thank you zoey!!

The way I’m inserting GIFs now is by typing the image URL directly into the text post. It should automatically convert into the GIF, and as far as I’m concerned, whether or not you’ve deleted the number and period before the “media.tumblr.com” part of the image URL doesn’t matter anymore. Grey boxes do not exist on Tumblr’s platform anymore.

Hope this helps!

Hi Zoey. I need a little input/advice. I'm thinking about applying to an rp, a first for me, and as usual I'm finding a warning about what the rp might contain (drugs, sex, etc), which isn't surprising. The 'problem' is the warning about the rp might contain sex/smut. While I'm of age and completely fine with seeing it on the dash, I'm just uncomfortable writing it. Most scenes I write so far are gen so romantic scenes freak me out. Should I still apply or don't bother? Thanks for the help.

Hi lovely!

Most roleplays put that into the rules as a precaution, since mature themes are a part of life so there's the chance that it'll appear on the dash. As long as there isn't a rule stating you must write smut, I wouldn't worry about it. The admins and your fellow writers should respect the fact that you aren't comfortable writing smut and allow for you to fade to black if you're about to smut.

In short — I think you should apply regardless. Just let the admins know you're uncomfortable writing smut and would prefer fading to black if those scenes ever arise!

What does 'cw' mean, in tags? I THINK it means content warning but I'm not sure. and what's the difference between 'cw' and 'tw'?

You're right — it does means content warning, anon. The difference (taken from here) between cw and tw (trigger warning) is that cw is a tag for "content that is not as graphic or that is mentioned only in passing."

Hope it helps!
