An Earthen Storm in the Making

A young hellhound wanders into the hotel's lobby. She's looking around as she approaches Charlie, in awe at how big and fancy this place looks. She herself looks exhausted and worse for wear.

"um, excuse me, miss...? could i maybe get a room for the night...? i know you mainly deal with sinners, but i just need a place to clean up and rest for a little while..."

{Charlie looked at her, and was able to tell that she probably wasn't in the best situation, and felt bad for her.}

"of course you can, we're open to all kinds of people who need a place to stay."

{Charlie said, opening up the guestbook.}

Nova would quickly get settled into her room. She would take a nice hot shower, inspect herself for any new injuries, and get comfortable in bed...

I'm working on some group activities for today."

Let me say that again-

STOP👏🏻PLATFORMING👏🏻TOXIC👏🏻ASS👏🏻ANONS👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Stop responding to people who send weird or uncomfortable asks.

Stop posting their threats and their disgusting words that they use to try to bully you.

Stop. Giving. These assholes. A reason to stay on your blog.

Your attention is what they crave. Your time. Something they waste when you post their words. Post their hatefulness.

Delete it. Report it. Give it no mind. Because they will realize you won’t play the game they want to play.

Normalize deleting anons that step over the line.

Normalize taking the power from them.

This seems to be a rampant issue in the RPC. And it is extremely draining for your partners if your muse and your narration do nothing else but react to your partner's post. Let me explain through an example:

"Hello! What are you doing?"

"I'm birdwatching."

The partner can have their muse answer with "Nice. Bye." and just end the thread, or ask a different question to try and keep the thread going. You leave it up to your partner to maintain an engaging interaction and it also gives an air of lackluster. Just a reaction is often not much for the other muse to react to in turn.

Instead of just replying a question, throw the ball back at your partner's muse, keep the interaction interesting for both. Maybe half of your reply being reaction, the other half new things for the other muse to react to.

"I'm birdwatching. Do you want to join me?"

That way, the other muse can either join or decline and maybe suggest an alternate activity for them to do. It's already more engaging and you signalize your partner that you are interested. You can always take it a step further, too.

"I'm birdwatching. There is this rare bird in this area. Check it out!" The muse shows the other muse a picture of the rare bird. "Do you want to join me? I could need an extra pair of eyes."

It's just like that in normal conversations. Yes, I know first-hand that it can be exhausting to ask a friend questions back and maintain a conversation, but having your friend/partner do all the legwork is even more exhausting for them and selfish from you, to be honest.

You're not public figures. You're not celebrities. You are just people who are having fun with your hobby. It is COMPLETELY fine if you're feeling burnt out.

It is FINE if you don't feel like posting. It is FINE if you want to curate your own space and be selective. You're within your full right to.
