Canvas is a world entirely comprised of black and white, with the occasional light grey. It’s completely empty of resident life, but has a few from the multiverse beyond. Other than that it’s a blank canvas. 

 This is where the characters come in, they bring colour to the land with their trait colour by interacting with each other and exploring. By coming to the dimension character’s colours change, they’re left with black, white, and their trait colour, no matter how colourful they are beforehand.

They stepped into another dimension, immediately falling over, everything felt wrong(right?) they landed on their face with a grunt, sprawled on the ground. 

They pulled themself into a sitting position, eyes closed they rubbed at them a bit to make sure there was no dirt in them, their face felt weird, so did their hands, the usual fuzz gone. 

They opened their eyes (iris’ a deep brown, faded) and their pupils intermediately dilated no no no they weren’t supposed to have hand no they were supposed to be clawed paws. This wasn’t right, this wasn’t, they weren’t, they can’t, they’re cursed! they they they can’t be normal again!

Their breathing rate increased, fast and shallow breathes, chest heaving, hands grabbing at their head, tugging on their hair and curling up on themself. They leaned against a tree, legs drawn up close, rocking a bit, making little noises. 

-okay, umm…’ Lewis rotates in place for a sec, before starting off towards the sound of rushing water. ’…this way!’

Bandit nodded, following Lewis til they could see the stream, but were far enough they wouldn’t bother any wild animals 

        I feel the 𝘵𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 on my shoulder,               I turn around in an 𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙚 —

FIRST OF ALL:

Read! The! Rules! More often than not a mun will have a statement on how they feel about personals. Most are cool but a certain few of them have just had bad experiences with personals and you’ll get blocked. You’d save yourself a lot of time and energy by checking the rules first!

LINGO:

Mun = mundane! This is the writer behind the blog. Indie = independent, not affiliated with an RPG! RPG = role play group! Muse = the character they’re playing!  OC = original character! Canon character = a character that appears in a canon piece of work, a book, tv show, movie, musical etc. “I have muse for” = this is a character I could see myself playing! OOC = out of character! IC = in character! Meme = askbox meme, usually reserved for other rpers or character anons, unless they’re questions! Godmod = when someone takes another character’s actions and make them do something that the character didn’t do with the mun’s permission. (ie = if I were playing a character named Hazel and she was talking to a character named Nathaniel, I can’t go ‘Nathaniel punches Hazel in the face’.)

ON PERSONAL POSTS:

These are usually marked in tags as ‘mun’ or some form of ‘ooc’! We, as rpers, ask that you DO NOT REBLOG these posts unless we explicitly say so. Some rpers are a lot cooler about this concept, but most really don’t like it becuase IF the post gets a lot of notes we can’t see the replies we owe. It’s best to just NOT REBLOG AN OOC POST unless we explicitly say so (ie = ‘ok to reblog’ or some sort of indication in the tags or post itself!).

ON RP POSTS / ASK RESPONSES:

Don’t reblog interaction posts; it messes with the activity and the notes of a thread. if you like reading an interaction, feel free to enjoy reading, but just don’t reblog threads if you aren’t involved in it. Some people will allow you to like the interactions, those will be in the rules as well! When you send it, don’t rush the muns. Roleplayers have lives and there’s only 24 hours a day, whether it be work or school, rp isn’t a job. Rp is supposed to be a hobby, so don’t rush people to reply to things since it’s not fair to them to have something that’s supposed to be fun be ruined by other people.

ON SENDING ANONS:

I can personally say I love getting anons asking about my characters! I very often find myself asking for people to send questions to or about my character. There are certain things that are absolutely OFF LIMITS to some muns or muses, though. Going back to my first point, these things can be found in the rules. But here are a couple of other things to keep in mind.

                - ALWAYS ASK THE MUN FIRST.                                   (you can’t go wrong in simply asking the mun / mod of the blog if they’re okay with a certain topic and you’ll always get an answer!) – this also goes for other muns you want to include in the ask. like much things in life, consent is key!

                - JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE AN ANON DOES NOT MEAN YOU’RE GOD.                                     (don’t godmod! don’t do it. that’s disrespectful to the writer. don’t even think about it.)

Please note none of this is said in a romantic or sexual context but all of it was said by one person. Watch out for weirdness in this.

Hell did not break loose

if you’re like me you tend to stockpile replies like you’re preparing for the apocalypse, and there are times when i look at that large number (across multiple blogs whoops) and wonder WHAT THE FUCK HAVE I DONE I WILL NEVER DO ALL OF THESE.

BUT FEAR NOT. i have compiled a list of tips i’ve gathered over my 13+ years of rping that have made chugging out responses as stress free and fun as possible. take them or leave them, i hope you find some use in it!

       1. never ever EVER EVER give yourself a “due-date” DON’T DO IT. PLEASE DON’T. I MEAN IT. you can set a goal, that’s awesome. say, ‘hey! i want to get x amount of drafts done today’, but don’t ever tell yourself you HAVE to. this is a hobby, for FUN. when you go into your drafts with a due-date, you go into your drafts with initial stress and if you don’t meet your self-determined quota you’re going to feel bad and you should never feel bad when you write for fun. when you sit down to do drafts just tell yourself, i’m gonna work on these today and see where i get. as long as the only concrete goal you give yourself is to try, then you’re already on the right track!

       2. first thoughts, jot them down! when you go to draft your posts/like it/save it/whatever you do to keep track of your drafts, you should try to jot down a few “first thoughts” before you do so. this is just something i do personally, it’s always helped me out. when i get a reply from my partner, before i go to draft it, i make some bullet points where i would respond; my muses initial internal reaction, possible dialogue, and my muses initial external response. even if you come back to it a week later and take a gander at the reply in your drafts, you can gloss over what you wrote down to try and bring some inspiration back for the reply. you can change your mind, keep it the same, whatever. it just helps brings you back to how you first responded to the reply and spark some creativity.

       3. respond in the order you want to, not the order received this isn’t a job at the local diner, you don’t have to rotate drafts like FIFO (first in first out.) your reply isn’t going to ‘spoil’ the longer you have it in your drafts. if one draft jumps out at you more than the other, DO THAT ONE. your rp partner will (they should) understand muses can be fickle and you have preferences. when you force yourself to do a draft, it tends to come out less than stellar, or not like you wanted, and you’ll just frustrate yourself further.

       4. when you DO decide to sit down and write drafts, get comfy! listen to music? like white noise? need some generic background noise? put that shit on! even if you’re responding mobile in class (shame on you) or at home naked in your bedroom, try to make yourself as comfortable as possible. me? i prefer silence or soft ambient music in the privacy of my room, but that’s just a preference. i tend to write better when i feel the most comfortable. 

       5. TALK TO YOUR RP PARTNERS!!!! trust me i doubt they are going to mind if you head into their im/skype/inbox/whatever and ask questions you have as they come along. if there’s something in their reply you want clarified to help you in yours, ASK! even if there’s no question, i highly encourage you talk to who you’re writing with, especially for longer, more plotted threads; it’s no secret that you tend to write better with people you know/get along with. ask them to chat about their muse in that specific setting, maybe talk over a couple possibilities in the near future, get some inspiration just by chatting. i understand for some of us, talking with others we don’t know is a daunting task, but just try to remember we’re all here for the same reason; we want to write, and have fun, and be creative. the worst thing someone can say to you when you ask for feedback or input is ‘no’, and tbh if they say that then i think you’ve dodged a bullet lmfao

       6. PRAISE YOURSELF for the love of god don’t be ashamed to say HEY I DID ONE DRAFT TODAY GO ME. even if its one out of 100, you still DID IT and that’s AWESOME! the more you congratulate yourself and the more you believe in what you create, the easier creating more will be. 

       7. don’t be afraid to back out of some things this one is the hardest for me to follow, because i love everyone i write with and i tend to not want to let go of threads. but if there’s that one draft you constantly look at every time you try to get some done and it just makes you sad because you’re not sure, you’re never sure how to respond, maybe it’s time to move along. that feeling effects your overall mood and tends to make writing for other drafts more difficult. DO NOT FEEL BAD WHEN YOU DO THIS, DON’T YOU DARE. think of it more as…putting it aside for the time being. you can always revisit that particular plot/scenario at a later date, and your rp partner will understand. if they don’t, if they pressure you to keep a draft that only proceeds to upset you when you go into your drafts, you do not need to write with them. repeat after me, my lovely creative nuggets, you do not owe anyone anything. you don’t. i repeat, THIS IS FOR FUN. this is a hobby. you are not getting paid and unless your rp partner is paying you by the word, do not let them control what you reply to and when. 

       8. don’t be afraid to start NEW things don’t punish yourself. i see it all the time, people joke about having too many drafts and yet they do starter calls, reblogs memes, whathaveyou. THATS OK STOP FEELING BAD ABOUT IT! if you need some creative juices flowing, and your drafts don’t look appealing, then reblog that meme! ask for some starters! as long as you keep writing, inspiration will find you in time, i promise.
