i am confusion
When I'm losing inspiration for a character that I love with all my heart and I'm worried it's going to affect my activity in an RP I care about a lot

Right. I just outright ignore those threads. I'm not joining a RP if I can't even read what it's about.I feel obligated as a disabled person to keep posting this here until things change.
If you do not offer an accessible version of your search thread, or just want to keep using your 7.4 grey font, I'm peacing out of your search thread. If you contact me and I see it I'm peacing out of the convo. Every time I come across these threads and how horrible it is on my blind ass I'm like, why? I try my best to offer mobile friendly versions and keep my font and a type and size I know I can read. I feel like it's getting worse.
Please if you're reading this and you do this y'all need to consider helping out the blind people like me. I'm done copying and pasting your test into a google doc and adjusting the size so I can read it.
what kind of jargon are you referring to?When I see lots of roleplay jargon, don't know what it means, feel like I should, and then feel so dumb that I just nope out.
Once saw an RP where gifs of your char were mandatory in the CS. You needed at least three.Maybe I'm just an old fogey, and this has already been touched on, but I really don't understand the impulse a lot of users have to make absolutely insane code for their posts that jam their text into a tiny, scrolling box. When I'm reading a book, I've never thought, "Damn, Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian is pretty good, but know what would have made it even better? If all the text was 6.5 font, had an insanely busy background, an mp3 file up top, and was crammed into the corner of the page with a bunch of pictures of what The Judge is wearing, where he's at, and what his mood right now." Maybe it works better on mobile or something? I dunno.
Also, I don't get it when people use a bunch of pictures in their posts. By all means, use a photo for your character; honestly, this can just help differentiate all the player characters. But do we really need a photo of what their gun looks like, their armor, their ship, the street they're walking on, the new watch they just bought, the toilet they just left, and the guy who just sold them a hot dog? I guess people want to convey exactly what they're imagining with no room for interpretation, so they use pictures instead of trusting their prose to describe it, or trusting their reader to visualize it. In truth, nobody really cares if the revolver looks like this, this, or that. They just need to know your character has a blicky and what they're gonna do with it. I was in an RP once where a player used thisto describe what their character was doing. Like, you couldn't have just said they cutely waved? You had to use that? At what point are we gonna be just playing through gifs and pics? Again, I'm probably just an old fossil lol.
^This. So much THIS.Maybe I'm just an old fogey, and this has already been touched on, but I really don't understand the impulse a lot of users have to make absolutely insane code for their posts that jam their text into a tiny, scrolling box.

I've seen a bunch like that and I don't get it. This is a writing site so I'd rather just describe my characters through writing about them.Once saw an RP where gifs of your char were mandatory in the CS. You needed at least three.
HELP I DID NOT EXPECT THIS TO GET 4 LIKES-when someone wants MxM but they either always want to be the "sensitive feminine boy" or because theres always a "sensitive feminine boy" and a "pervy bad boy" fr.....its giving "i've been on wattpad too much" not all gay couples has to have a feminine boy and to be honest there isnt always one- like same with Lesbian couples there isnt always a "masculine tomboy" all lgbtq couples are different some feminine boys aren't even gay sometimes like some like crossdressing there are different sexualities every lgbtq person is different i dont mind feminine boys but like why must they be treated like "helpless" "crybaby" "pick me" like everyone is different its just annoying and offensive- but thats just me-
Because goblins are evil and therefore not kawaii desu!When I see a fantasy or spacey sci-fi RP, but only human races are allowed for the PCs. Super annoying. Especially when there are fantastical/alien creatures (monsters) or mention of fantastical/alien races in the RP idea. But it's just not allowed for the players. Total buzzkill.
WHY is it SO Futhermucking hard to find a group RP where I can play as an Alien or a Goblin?!

Yep. I can't stand it either, especially when it's two fandoms very different from each other.Crossovers. Call me a purist, but I hate it when roleplays are multi-fandom or crossovers of two or more fandoms.
One that has happened recently is that someone tried using my character's trauma as a prop that theirs had it worse while we were plotting a future plot point. When the plot point was my character was trying to connect with her love interest and reveal a very painful issue from her past.
"Oh I was bullied in school...but *insert other character here* had it worse cause x/y/z"
At least they waited. I've had people leave the convo immediately after messaging them.When instead of telling you they don't vibe with your intro, the other person spends like 2 weeks insisting they'll post their intro "tomorrow" then randomly leaves the convo.
ive had people call my fandoms and tropes i liked stupid and leave.When instead of telling you they don't vibe with your intro, the other person spends like 2 weeks insisting they'll post their intro "tomorrow" then randomly leaves the convo.
Oh God same here. And they always end up being the best damn rps I've ever had when I find someone that staysive had people call my fandoms and tropes i liked stupid and leave.
