I find it incredibly odd that post order isn't the default on this site, as it has been on literally every other RP I've ever done. XD
OK so there's a simple way to have a post order and still let conversations continue organically. OOC discussion. Let players split into groups for social...
@Werepunk I too had an RP partner try to make my gay character straight with her female character. She got the message about him being gay, but continued to act her character as though she was in love with him ... but without saying so. They had a platonic master/servant kind of relationship but...
People being passive aggressive OOC, holding grievances but only expressing said grievances as sneakiness or snarkiness instead of putting them forward in a way that something can be done about them.
I've been thinking on and off about a plot I once had in a roleplay that didn't last longer than one post (mine), where the initial idea was the partner's but the actual scenario we came up with together, and really wanting to write that story myself. I always get stuck as to wondering if it...
Thanks @Daisie @Musician 💖
Yeah it was pretty hard when I had to give up pretty much everything I enjoyed doing one after the other, and just now getting back into some rp makes me believe that maybe some day I can gradually get back into other things too (like work, socialising, other...
Rediscovering the joy of sub-one paragraph RPs. I have a chronic illness and it's made it super hard to rp the last 6 months or so because thinking and reading (never mind writing) are hard right now. But recently I joined a discord group for a fandom and its an absolute blast. The OOC is...
Nah the opposite is when there's an original RP in an original setting with all original characters, and someone submits Uzumaki Naruto as their character and gets annoyed when asked to read the lore document.
When someone joins a fandom rp without knowing anything about the source material, makes an oc and then gets arsey when told it doesn't fit the setting.
I'm not annoyed so much as baffled. 😂 Although I was a little annoyed that they got arsey
What is the thought process behind this?
One hundred percent this ^^^
Honestly using big words to make yourself look clever then choosing words that don't actually mean what you think they mean is the quickest way to look the opposite of clever.
I have literally read whole posts where none of it makes any sense because they have...
My feeling is that if you need a thesaurus to write your posts the poor partner is gonna need one to read it. Therefore please people please do not abuse the thesaurus. 😭
You could probably think about what he was like before he started doing this, and why he does it. This quirk is so outrageous it probably overshadows most of the rest of his personality, but in essence anyone with any personality could have this quirk.
Explain to me why you think gay/trans characters should only be gay/trans if it's relevant to the story? Gay people are gay doing normal things that don't require them to be gay or rely on being gay. Same with trans folk. Yes, it impacts their life but it isn't the entire focus of their life all...
And most importantly a flexibility issue. If you're only interested in one or two fandoms/specific genres for your entire life then of course it's going to be hard to find RP regardless of age.
@Murdergurl I'm going to agree with you that most American movies of the last 20 years are trash (although I did quite like the Ghostbusters one, but then sue me I'm a liberal) and that the art of screenwriting is pretty much dead (especially in America but also there's a lot of lazy writing in...
No, you're not weird. I haven't been RPing much lately but when I have it's been on discord - even when it's been with people I've met on here.
I think this site has a lot going for it other than public rp threads so I'm happy to stick around and read/participate in discussions when I'm in the...
