I feel like this is a good time to remind people in the RPC to...

Respect people's wishes of not wanting to engage with any posts, related to our current world's events.

Just because someone isn't posting or talking about it in their RP blogs, it doesn't mean they are being X-phobic or a complicit™️ to anything.

Just because someone has asked their mutuals to tag certain subjects, it doesn't mean they are turning a blind eye to the situation.

I hate to break it to some people, but reblogging a post onto your RP blog in a dying community in a dead platform, isn't making any difference at all. You are not contributing to anything, and in most cases, you are simply spreading misinformation or outdated stuff. Which can actually, cause a lot of problems.

The world is going through some very rough times, and many people turn to RP as their preferred method of escapism from our reality. So please, be kind to them, because we need this more than ever in these trying times.

Friendly reminder to the rpc: it is up to YOU to curate your space. If your mutuals are doing their due diligence to tag any triggering topics on their blog, it's YOUR responsibility to blacklist the tags and URL you don't want to see. If you don't properly mute, blacklist, or block, you have NO right to whine on the dash or make callouts why you're seeing xyz and it's triggering you ESPECIALLY when it's tagged. Don't use the internet if you can't take care of yourself. Strangers on the internet are not your babysitters.

[confessionsofa-roleplayer]

People really need to just curate their own space already. Stop accussing other people of real crimes over fiction. Jesus christ just because someone might enjoy writing fucked up as hell shit in fiction doesn't mean they like that shit in real life. Ya'll who bully and witch hunt others till they delete are genuinely horrible.

Boy howdy I love how stupid people are about pro-shipping and what it actually means to a fucking reasonable person. Its base philosophy is "Ship and let Ship", meaning they let others ship what they want as much as others let that person ship what they want, but this is with the subtext of WITHIN REASON. Most reasonable people who are "Pro-shipppers" do not accept any of the unacceptable relationship types that most of us will scream about not doing. Incest and Pedophilia being the obvious fucking ones. The term has lost all meaning these days when people run around making it a bad label because they encountered one or two people with lacking judgement who are okay with the no go stuff. Hell, I've had people block me assuming I'm some pro-shipper of that sort when I've made clear I only ship and let ship within reason because I'm not one to give people a hard time.

"my muse is in a mood" "my muse is sad :(" "my muse is so horny" 🧍‍♂️ weird way to tell a dash full of people you barely know that you're horny/feeling some type of way. maybe keep that to yourself next time, we see that thinly veiled post and we're grossed out. especially if your blog has no 'self insert' identifier. i would've avoided it if it did.

There's a few too many people getting complacent in threatening varying levels of self harm (from minor to very serious) after something doesn't go their way RP wise. Like a concerning number I have noticed. And they generally have their break downs to their friends, treating them like therapists. Let me just say this: Doing this shit is not okay. You should not be threatening your physical safety or wellness over something RP related, nor using it to manipulate your friends. Equally if you encounter people who do this even once then cut them off; they're comfortable enough that they have likely done it before to some success to get what they want. Nobody needs someone threatening that stuff over literal small beans RP stuff when things are not quite going their way. The fact I even have to avoid the proper word for the more serious threats they make is proof of how much of an issue it is.

“I want long-term storylines!” You know that requires replying to threads, right? That requires… plotting? That requires… not doing the cycle of show up for a month, post three things, and disappear for 6 months—right???????? Look. Yes, we have lives. That is a fact. But if you want “long-term storylines” as you cry about it for, then you need to actually put the effort into your mutuals to HAVE those long-term storylines. You have to actually CONTINUE threads, you have to PLOT things, you have to ENGAGE and REPLY to things. You have to take your partners’ time and investment seriously. If you do absolutely none of that, your stuff is going to go nowhere, and as a result you need to quit whining on the dash about how you want things.

If you don’t like the “reblog from the source culture”, then don’t follow people who have it as a rule. If you are okay with people reblogging off of you, that’s great for you. If someone isn’t okay with it, that’s great for them. There is no right or wrong way. Everyone has their own way of doing things on here and people are simply asking for their rules to be respected. It’s really not a big deal to respect someone’s rules.

Roleplayers that don't return your energy ever are the scourge of this place. Roleplayers that don't give you anything to work with conversation wise, whether that be plotting or just talking? You're exhausting. I hate myself when I return that energy to them because I'm not that person. I love being friends and having friends. I know I'm a good friend. But when you're only conversational when it's something YOU want to talk about? And then suddenly you have droves to say but nothing else when the conversation isn't centered around you? Then I relish giving them one word answers. I like making them feel like they made me feel. Fuck you. You get what you give.

Tumblr is doing some stupid AI shit so go to blog settings > Visibility > Prevent third-party sharing.

My vibe about ships since forever tbh

Just because you're over 18 doesn't mean you no longer have to abide by age requirements on people's blogs. For example if someone says their partners need to be 21+ and you're 18-20, don't try to get around the rules by simply labeling yourself 18+ and banking on the mun trusting that you're at least 21. That isn't okay. It doesn't matter that you're an adult, you're still disrespecting their rules and lying to them.

personally i feel like most of the dislike surrounding using faceclaims of those who have passed on is just virtue signaling. maybe i am wrong but that's how it feels to me. i can sorta understand why people feel weird?? sorta. not really i guess… maybe it's because i see it entirely different. people think it's disrespectful but i think it's only disrespectful if that's how you're using it. to me, it's keeping that person's wonderful memory alive. it's no different than rewatching movies where the actor in the movie has passed away… do people just, never watch movies with those actors in it anymore or is the dislike for seeing the face of the deceased only exclusive to writing? what about animated faceclaims whose voice actor passed away? doesn't make sense to me. it's the same thing in my eyes. i rewatch those movies to keep their memory alive, to remember how amazing they were in those roles, how great actors they were. and i think using them as a faceclaim for a character, is like… giving them a new acting role, and keeping their memory alive. to me, seeing their face in writing is no different than seeing their face on screen in a movie or a tv show. and just a side mention: what happens if an actor has an accident or something happens and they unfortunately pass away as a result? i dont expect every person using them as a faceclaim for a character to just up and change their character's faceclaim. that's a massive change, you may not think it is but to those who use faceclaims and match the character to the face, it is massive. but my main point is i personally dont mind and i think it keeps the memory alive rather than pretending they dont and never did exist and just… erasing them from history by never seeing their face again anywhere. please dont eat me alive for this personal view lol

In case people haven't noticed it yet!

Tumblr has rolled out a pretty nifty feature, essentially reverting back to let us check out a previous reblog with ease!

Use it to your hearts content!

I don't think some roleplayers have the capacity to realize what emotional vampires they are. They will cry about not getting interactions, but every other post will be ooc negativity about something. Literally, any small thing! It's not your writing, my friend. It's the fact that nobody wants that anchor! And, I'm saying this as someone who has severe major depression and is just out of my own 'I wanna die' cycle. Nobody wants to deal with your bullshit when we're dealing with our own! Harsh, I know. But you gotta save that for your friends and family or personal Tumblr, not the dash of your rp account. I'd understand a vent once every once in a while, but these people who do it every day have no ability for introspection… like "Gee maybe it's me running of future writing partners… Maybe I should talk to someone…"

[confessionsofa-roleplayer]

Ohhh, okay, so THIS NEEDS to be said. I'm sorry but the "Chronically overloaded roleplayer who always has to delete/drop everything because they have 50+ threads and it's toooo much uwu" is fucking tiresome. I'm sorry, but can we admit they do it to themselves yet? And we gotta stop feeding into the ones who can't manage themselves? No, you DON'T need to like that starter call, send that meme, post ANOTHER starter call, exc, until you get your current drafts down a bit. BEFORE you get overloaded! Do anything about them. "but it's a hobby not a jo-" Shut up…! you guys at this point are using that as an excuse at this point to NOT COLABERATE!

[confessionsofa-roleplayer]

If following my own rules and boundaries is wrong I don’t wanna be right
