Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not post personal information. This includes but is not limited to full names, addresses, phone numbers and so on.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.
Do not solicit money, Dreamwidth points, or other currency unless you are offering a good or service in return.

my first choice for a journal name for a particular character was available! shocked no one had taken it but it's mine now!

at least you have people open to it lmao. I initiate all the time and always get a gentle ‘maybe’ followed by ‘never reaches out again beyond tagging me on a meme’

I'm not saying this you're the same person and I doubt anyone would have my same reaction but the only guy I know who has a thing about people using actors for PBs is also obsessed with assuming that those people have weird sex things about the people they use as PBs and just kind of talks like he's the only Morally Good RPer so that's the kind of flags a game like that would set off in my head. He uses it to argue for AI not for anime though

when you have an inbox with extremely wonderful tags but none of them are the one specific tag you want the most

(I love all of them I've just got an itch)

this comment is an example of why it would be weird, op

(Anonymous) 2024-10-17 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
i wouldn't be bothered by this at all if it was just an aesthetic preference, but if it's because you're morally against using real life faces i would think that was really weird

(Anonymous) 2024-10-17 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
I'm fine with cross medium interactions myself, so this isn't a game I'd personally join. But I will be honest and admit that I am a little creeped out by celebrity rp on ij. but that doesn't turn me off from LA pbs all together.

selfish monster and selfless monster hunter, but the monster hunter is the more monstrous-looking one and also there's a lot of angst about loss of bodily autonomy and choosing one's own path in life

Or those rewashable period panties, they don't leak and don't feel gross, from everything I've heard! ^^

Re: RL WOES

(Anonymous) 2024-10-17 11:04 am (UTC)(link)
da just dropping by to chime in on period panties because I started using these a few months ago. I havent had any problems with leaking unless the blood flow gets really bad and the elastic bands on the side start getting tainted too. those bands will transfer the blood onto your pants anyway. so change the panties on time when you're having an extra heavy day is the lesson there.

what I AM having problems with is washing these things. I'm following instructions (wash the immediate damage out with cold water, wash fully with neutral detergent and warmer water later, rinse properly) but the functional area of the panties has turned a little stiff and weird after only a few washings. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if this is normal :/

bottom line: not sure if I'd recommend this option.

when you love all of your cr but there is one person that wedges their way into every single thing your character does and just won't stop stepping on your dick

i super get it, we all want to be involved in something but maybe it would be cool to do something without it being an all cr on deck situation

maybe said character needs some space and by extension the player does too.

i'm watching this happen as a third party with some of my cr in a game. it's really stressful to watch. one player has their character get involved with everything our mutual connection does no matter what it is. i'm not sure they're even asking before they get all up in their business. the worst part is they've decided to play up a jealousy angle so now 80% of our collective threads are about calming down this one dramatic jealous asshole.

i've suggested my friend go to the mods about it but we're not sure how you're even supposed to phrase it as a complaint. "this player is playing their character in an annoying way" doesn't seem to be breaking any actual rules you know?

my boiler broke at a time when i'm already thin on patience. i haven't managed to call the engineer yet because every time i think about it i either start crying or have a (mild, brief, but genuine) panic attack.

it's not even the boiler, really, it's just that the stupid boiler feels like a capper on a massive pile of other stupid petty shit going wrong (and it's SAD season). and also even if i do get someone out to look at it, that means i have to deal with a person, so i have to pretend to be an adult human being who's coping and not a panicky mess of jelly who's procrastinating on rpa at work because their brain is broken.

eventually (like, hopefully right now) i'm going to put on my big-boy pants and call the engineer but god i don't wanna.

p sure you're not in the minority, most people here find the tales of celebrities rp on ij strange and off-putting

the vast majority of people who play from live action media in dwrp do, actually, know how to separate the character steve rogers from the actor chris evans over the course of a thread. so it's weird when somebody implies they can only fixate on chris evans in the icon to the point that they can't envision cap america interacting with their character at all

that's because this isn't a mod complaint right now. your friend needs to ask this player to stop tagging them, or otherwise lock threads to specific characters. if those things are ignored, then it's a mod complaint.

it sucks because it's an awkward conversation to have, but it's one that you do need to have. people have different expectations of what's acceptable or fun in rp. you have to let this person know that it's not fun for you.

this right here. why do some people always jump to tattling to mom and dad as the first option instead of remembering they're adults and trying to communicate first. by all means, if you've brought up you're not okay with xyz behavior and they continue, then go talk to the mods, because then you can actually show proof of attempts to change things. but if i were a mod and players came to me to complain about ic behavior, then my first question would be what had they said to the player regarding it. if the answer is nothing, then i'm going to insist that you, the player, talk to the other player, like an adult to express in words that you like/don't like the thing they're doing.

i'm not going to preemptively give someone shit/a scolding/a warning/strike/ban when they haven't had a chance to alter behavior they might not even know is offputting.

could you lead a seminar, because some mod teams really suck at understanding and enforcing that. it's just who gets their report in first

when do you accept that there isn't a place for you in dwrp anymore?

i came back a little over a year ago and can't get anything started. everything feels like it's going great until suddenly it isn't. people have asked me for second threads only to ghost me a few tags into them. they've said such lovely things about my characterization and writing but my inbox is still empty. it feels like every time i get comfortable, i end up blindsided by how suddenly the other players lose interest.

i love rp so much but i don't think the feeling is mutual...

i feel you anon, sometimes it's hard out there. all you can do is keep trying until you find something that sticks, but in my experience it takes time and you're lucky to get two months of rp out of one person.

try playing more characters and looking into popular canons, you might have more success with them.

ty anon. if it's rare to find people that want something long-term then maybe it is time for me to go.

Re: RP WOES

(Anonymous) 2024-10-17 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
da but idk if it is that rare. i've happened across people on bakerstreet that i've ended up playing with for 12 months+ just because we vibe

like i wouldn't be able to tell you what the magical formula is, because the character i play is pretty rare (i've seen one other person play him in 2+ years), but it does happen

Re: RP WOES

(Anonymous) 2024-10-17 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
please don't give up! there are players out there who are interested in long-term things. i've lucked out on bakerstreet, rpanons and enablemeplz. if you're enjoying tagging someone, are you tagging into them again on another meme? are you pming players to let them know you're enjoying the thread/s? posting ads? i've had to put myself out there and initiate quite a bit to find the players who are interested in threading and building consistency across memes, but it's been worth it.

(Anonymous) 2024-10-17 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. It's sometimes very tiring, especially when I have to keep initiating with one person.

But I've found myself pleasantly surprised when someone initiates with me. Doesn't happen often, but it does. I hope you get a pleasant surprise like that soon, anon.
