Don't complain about how "hard" tumblr roleplay is when you're the one making it worse
Before anyone complains, I'm not talking about rping itself, I'm talking about formatting. Not the graphics or icons, because those are just things you make ahead of time and just post it, I mean those people who edit the text itself to make it look "fancy" and fit the "aesthetic".
And then turn around and go play on discord because it's "easier".
??? Of course it's "easier", you're not spending 30+ minutes on your post to make it look pretty!
If you wanna make it fancy that's your choice??? I don't care what you do to make yourself happy??? But if you're literally going to another platform so that you don't have to worry about it, then you're REALLY blind.
Here's a solution: make some pretty icons. Maybe post borders. Focus on your writing. Done.
I garantee that if discord had "formatting" options like tumblr did forever ago, this stupid elitist attitude would still be running rampant, and you people would be making that "harder" too.
And before anyone whines at me, I don't mean fleeing to discord to avoid tumblr drama. I totally get that and don't blame you, this is JUST about formatting.
For Pete's sake guys just keep it simple if it's that hard for you, jeez.
If you want to do a certain plot, go ask the people you want to do it with
Nothing drives me nuts more than someone posting "you know what would be fun! This plot (a) here with my muse! Anyone wanna do it with me?" And of course I get excited like "yeah, that sounds like fun, my muse can do that!" and they go "cool, thanks!"
Radio silence after that. A few days later? "you know what would be fun! This plot (a) here with my muse! Anyone wanna do it with me?"
Like wow, okay, fuck you too.
I've seen a lot of posts trying to reassure people that they're not ignoring them when they don't answer asks, or make starters from starter calls, or whatever, etc etc. with the whole "I promise I'm not ignoring you!" They're meant to reassure people, and to release the pressure from people's expectations. And that makes total sense for people who get a bunch of asks/likes/interest and just don't have it in them to do them all. Writing is hard, definitely understandable. (And of course, if you're on the other side of this and see the person you sent it to had a bunch of others do the same, please understand it really is an "energy" issue, not an "interest" issue.)
But we have to admit that the only reason most people have this fear is because this has happened in the past.
Whether these people are still around, or they've left the rpc, the reality is the damage is done. So many people are going to have this fear of "oh they want to do this thing, but not with my muse" because, go figure, that really is how some roleplayers acted, and legit ignored the people because instead of being honest about what they wanted, they just posted memes and open things with "certain" people in mind because they didn't want to reach out themselves.
This is also part of the reason "interest checkers" are starting to bug me. I totally get "shipping calls" because not everyone wants to romantically ship, and it's easier to get a general feel for who's open for that. But needing to make a post saying "give this a like if it's okay for me to bug you and throw plots at you! :D" makes zero sense.
You guys are mutuals. You literally followed each other for the purpose of roleplaying. Why tf wouldn't it be fine to bug them with plots???
Unless of course, we want to admit a lot of roleplayers don't like their mutuals anymore for some reason :/ Boy, makes us sound bad, doesn't it?
If we want to fix this, we need to just bite the bullet and be specific about what we're looking for. Either in wishlists, opens, or whatever. That way people will know for sure that they can approach, or just wait until later. Because then you'll have to reject them and a) make them feel bad, and b) come across as a jerk.
Keep opens open. Otherwise just go to the partners you want.
Honestly a part of me wants to say "don't use callout posts ever" but I don't want to open the door for a legitimately abusive person to get away with stuff.
Look, I get how it started. Good intentions to warn people of dangerous, manipulative individuals. But the thing is that more and more people are using it for drama, not actual toxic behavior. There is a huge difference between someone legitimately abusing you, or someone who just happens to trigger you because they do something you don't like.
Unfortunately, most people on here can't tell the difference. And everyone jumps on the bandwagon.
So this isn't aimed just toward the people making the callout posts, it's all the people who get swept up in the emotions and drama and help spread the fire- without evidence, support, or even one iota of common sense.
So here's the new criteria: how about we only use callout posts when you feel like someone is in legitimate danger? Like someone is stalking people with intent to hurt or kill. Because at this point I don't know how else to get people to stop ruining people's lives and reputations over stupid stuff- some of which, it turns out, isn't even true.
No this isn't criticism. No I don't care how you run your blog. I just notice we tend to get excited and maaaaaaaaaaaaaybe take more than we can chew. Maybe then we won't be overwhelmed. OTL

I propose every artist on every platform just fill up every tag on every website with terrible scribbled doodles to mess up all the AI algorithms. Don't know if it would work but hey, may destroy quality and make us feel better for a while ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Â
Just because you use canons as self-inserts doesn't mean everyone else does
Before anyone freaks out, I don't ACTUALLY care how you portray your muse. If I don't like it, I move on and find someone else, and that's how I feel people should act. So do NOT use this post to excuse any bullying or harassing over someone's portrayal. If you want to go canon divergent, that's your choice! And if your portrayal is different due to headcanons and the like? Then hey, no hate here! Go ham and let your flag fly!
But for Pete's sake, actual OCs and self-inserts get so much hate and flack even when they don't deserve it. And worse, people who decide they want to play villains or "problematic characters" will get so much harassment, because people have gotten so used to people only writing about things they "like" or "want" or "condone" that they don't understand the concept of exploring plots or themes or characters- which is integral to budding authors to sharpen their skills.
Chances are the people who harass people for writing "problematic" things do so because they and all their partners only write characters they directly relate with. Which is fine. But they forget that other writers don't always work like that.
Here's something people need to remember: we need writers and actors to portray villains in order to write stories- that's the reality.
I'm not just talking about fiction. What about historical re-enactments? What if we need someone to write or play an old dictator, or criminal, or you know, just a bad person for a historical movie or book? You realize they're literally a necessity to be able to accurately tell the events, right? How will we do that if you scare off anyone who tries to write a "bad" guy?
You're like a kindergartener who sees an actor play a villain on TV, then is scared of the actor because they don't understand the difference between fiction and reality. Or, in turn, you idolize someone who plays a "hero" even if, in reality, they're not actually that great of a person. You don't know how "acting" works.
And on another note, why are we all hating on non-canon characters when about half our community is filled with thinly veiled self-inserts disguised as canon characters? It's basically the pot calling the kettle black.
So yeah, if you start changing canon characters so you directly "relate" with them, just make an OC. Make a self insert. Make it easier for the rest of us so we can see who's actually interested in writing out the canon character, or who wants to explore a completely different plot. Either way works.
And for Pete's sake don't go bothering the writers who actually play different muses because they enjoy the art of storytelling- seriously, it's annoying.
Go into this hobby understanding that people are human and will need breaks, dropped threads, wait times, and the like
I know there's a lot of posts already trying to remind roleplayers they don't have to feel obligated to their partners- especially when life gets in the way and health concerns prop up. This is aimed towards the people that make them feel that "obligation" in the first place.
Look, if you've read my last posts you already understand how I feel about bothering people for replies. Go do other hobbies so you can pass the time doing something else.
But here's the other thing you need to remember: you can't be in this hobby and expect people to cater to your every desire and inspiration.
We are different people with different wants, needs, and desires. A lot of people have different partners and a lot of different threads, and certain things just "scratch the itch" differently for people, that's just the truth.
And for a lot of people, writing is a ton of work when you have a bunch of other stuff sapping your strength.
If a dropped thread is that disappointing to you- or if a plot or idea rejection is that hurtful, then you have underlying issues that need to be addressed. I'm sorry but that's the truth. There's being "excited" for something, and then there's putting everything on a fictional plot or character.
So ask yourself before you get into this hobby: am I okay with people dropping threads or not being interested in a particular plot?
If the answer is "no", then maybe find something else to do. The rest of us want to talk to roleplayers that aren't gonna bite our heads off if something happens and we need to change some stuff.
Actually, you ARE a machine- but that's a good thing.
So lately people have been using the phrase "You're not a machine" to remind people to be gentle with themselves, and to counteract capitalism's toxic productivity culture. But when I stopped to think about it, I realized that comparing myself to a machine actually did make me feel better.
Machines need fuel. They run on electricity, oil, hydropower, whatever in order to work properly. If they don't get the right fuel or the adequate amount? They won't even run let alone work right.
A lot of machines need ventilation. This is to help regulate temperature so the parts don't overheat and fry. So really, even machines have to be kept at the right temperature to be ideal.
Did you know a lot of machines need lubrication? I can't list every machine and how they work, but there are many that need an oil or grease along the parts to keep everything working properly, otherwise the parts with seize and it will stop working.
Not all machines are meant to run 24/7. A lot of them actually do need to be turned off regularly to "rest". If they don't? You wear out the machine and break it a lot sooner.
However, if you DON'T use a machine for a while and just let it sit and be neglected, it can rust or worse. Either way, it can stop working from lack of use too.
Even machines break. A part comes loose, or wears out, and you need to a specialist to come in and fix it.
So remember to take care of yourself. Eat, go outside, hydrate, sleep, exercise, and go to the doctor's if something is wrong. You are a very important machine, and if you don't do proper maintenance, you won't function properly. Heck, if even a car can't last without proper maintenance, what makes you think you can?
Don't worry about your production output- especially not when it comes to drafts, roleplaying or whatever. Your body is already working just to keep you alive. This is an extra activity, not a priority. If you're "not feeling drafts"? It's probably because your brain is overworked with other things, and it knows that this is not a survival priority. Fun? Yes. A priority? No.
So please take good care of yourselves- and on the flip side, understand when OTHER people need to take care of themselves. Even machines need proper care, and I promise that we as people are WAY more important- and complicated- than machines.
This is aimed at the people who feel the need to criticize roleplayers who do "problematic" plots, or even play villains. Why? Because they think they're actually doing good in the world.
First off, roleplaying is not the same thing as published media. Threads are made only for the player and their partner, no one else. If someone else HAPPENS to come across and read it, that's not on purpose, that's just how the internet works. Don't blame the players for that.
And second, even if you spend the time to lecture someone about some toxic relationship they play, or an evil character, or even just some dumb plot that isn't instantly "happy and wholesome", that does nothing to help people who are actually in that situation.
You want to make the world a better place? How about you get up and go do something. Volunteer in an abuse victim shelter. Go move to a dangerous neighborhood and join programs that help troubled youth. Go donate books to prisons and offer to foster animals from overcrowded shelters.
Or, better yet, go join task forces built to catch actual child predators. They will literally pay you to catch the bad guys and make the world a better place. Yes they're real, look them up. See? Win win for everyone!
What's that, you say? You can't? You have anxiety/depression/insecurity/work/family responsibilities? Wow, it's almost like the actual work it takes to help people is really fucking hard and takes a special kind of person which isn't you.
If you want to ACTUALLY do some good, go find the people on X, reddit, here, or where ever the HECK they are, who are proudly calling themselves zo.ophiles, ma.ps, or abu.sers, then report them to the proper authorities. Not the website itself, that will just get them banned, they need to be investigated. Google the branch responsible for these things in your country, and then report to them.
There are actually people out there who are trying to legitimize their perversions, behavior, and abuse and refusing therapy, and as it is now? Kids WILL come across those profiles/posts, they WILL start to believe them, and they WILL start to condone these acts in the future.
You want to prevent that from happening, go out and criticize real people and media. Go make real change in the real world. Don't go around shoving your fictitious morals in the faces of people playing pretend with their friends.
Because that's literally all you're doing. You're ruining someone's game. You are the SAME type of people who go around raving that "video games cause violence", even after it's well proven that's not the case.
Also, if anyone tries to "report" any roleplay blog, or even fanfiction that has any of these acts in them, not only will the authorities roll their eyes at you, they'll be pissed you wasted their time. They have limited time and resources, and it's a race against the clock to try to save an actual victim. You would be stealing time and effort away from catching actual criminals. Unlike you, they know the difference between fiction and reality. I seriously don't recommend doing it.
So yeah, get off your high horse and go learn about reality. It might do you some good.

Now I'm not talking about people posting wishlists, or shipping calls, or memes or whatever, because then it's pretty obvious what you're looking for, and good on you for making that easier for the rest of us! What I mean is telling us why you made the rp blog in the first place.
Some people don't have specific plots in mind yet, and that's cool. Some people just want to make friends, get some ideas, and see where the plot takes them. Alright, anything goes!
Others are budding writers who want to expand their repertoires and test their skills, and hey! more power to them!
But some people make their blogs just to ship with others, or just to write smut, or just do cute domestic stuff- and there's nothing wrong with that! You do you and have fun!
But if someone who lives for heavy, dark themes and complex plots happens to find a "muse" that looks fun, but they're actually someone who only wants to do silly dialogue interactions with others? It's just a headache for both parties waiting to happen.
Don't get me wrong, I know our moods can change based on what we and our muses want, and we can't help that. But there is a BIG difference between "man I've only been writing angst lately, I want some cute stuff for a while" and "all I want is sappy romance and cute plots and silly little things to enjoy and escape my life u.u"
This is what I mean. We need to be upfront- either in our rules or about or something- about what we will be actually interested in writing. That way people who just want cute domestic stuff can find each other, and then the people who want all the crazy stuff can find each other. If both parties are open with their preferences right off the bat, it makes everything run smoother. Maybe even just adding "I want to do these kinds of plots on this blog" will make things a whole lot easier for everyone.
And just an extra note: THANK YOU to everyone who already does this. It makes it so much better for the rest of us u.u
If you want to see a "perfect" characterization of the canon character, go consume the canon media
This is aimed at the people who feel the need to criticize people's portrayal- even when it's not wanted. They have some bizarre, self righteous delusion that it is their duty to tell people when they're portraying someone "wrong" or "differently" or even purposely divergent from canon to... I dunno, protect the source material? Have their wish fullfilment? Or, I dunno, remember that we're all fans and not the official writers?
Fic writers do so for their own enjoyment. They have an idea and write it out, and show it to other people in the hopes that they enjoy it too. They are not obligated to keep it true to canon, and they sure as heck aren't obligated to try to write it as "perfectly" as possible. But they may do so anyway to share it with the understanding that they're opening themselves up to criticisms. They share it and understand that some people will enjoy it and some won't, but either way they are basically trying to "entertain" people enough to continue reading their material.
Roleplayers are not here for that.
We don't want "fans" anymore. We want partners who share the same funny, crazy need for creativity we do, and are willing to go off the rails and do something that would literally never happen in canon (or in some cases, what we wish would happen in canon). The only people we want to please are our partners, and that's because we want them to keep writing with us. We want them to enjoy our portrayals so that they're inspired, and in turn will stick around for more crazy plots and shenanigans.
If you don't want to partner with someone because you don't like the way they play someone, then don't. You can go and find someone else to play with and everyone will be happy. But then your criticisms don't fucking matter.
Sorry, but that's the truth. If you're not gonna write with us, then we don't give a shit how you feel about our writing.
If someone actually asks then yes, be honest if you don't like something about how they write. They want to hear the truth, and you should give it. But if they don't?
Guys...everyone on tumblr is messed up. Vast majority of us have some form of mental illness. We can support each other, and use this site as an escape, but the sad reality? We just end up triggering each other.
No one wants to admit it, but it's the truth. People can be vicious online, or we wind up walking on eggshells around each other because we don't know how to act. If you're struggling and you need serious mental help, do not rely on tumblr to fix it.
Try 7cups.com. It's literally a mental health site with listeners, forums, and even has a log of therapists you can choose from for relatively cheap. It even has step by step wellness programs that are designed to help in your recovery.
And hey! I'm sure there's other websites and programs out there dedicated to mental health!
My point is, please do not come on here asking for others to fix you, or help you. Most of us have learned how to manage our own symptoms, but that doesn't mean we can help others. If we could, we'd be therapists lol.
We're not professionals, don't turn to us for help. Go find other resources, then come on here when you want to zone out, blow off steam, or just interact with all the other silly folks. Social media was made for people to stay connected, enjoy hobbies, or find online friends for shared interests- not to fix our broken brains.
Obviously I'm not saying you can't make friends here. Please do. I'm talking about using people as free therapy.
I don't say this because I hate you, I say this to warn you. If you try to rely on tumblr to make you feel better, I can promise you it won't work.
if you just want "attention" for you and your muse, go write a fanfic
Pretty sure this will make half the rpc leave lol but I am DONE with this so I've got to say it:
Roleplaying is an interactive hobby. It's two people taking turns writing, planning, and creating a plotline that both people can enjoy. You literally cannot do it by yourself because roleplaying, by definition, is the interaction between two or more people.
But what I am INCREASINGLY seeing is people constantly reblogging memes, posting commentary, asking for plots, interaction, etc etc and then not reaching out to anyone else- and worse, ignoring them completely.
I have seen AMAZING roleplayers leave their fandom or this site because all their partners sucked them dry. Even when I tried to send them in memes, or askbox things, or even just interaction memes, they still had to leave because I was literally one person out of, like, twenty. And I got it because I understood. I cannot stress enough how exhausting it is to constantly reach out to people, and send stuff, and try to have fun, only for a majority of your so called "partners" giving nothing in return.
We get it, you love your muse. You enjoy writing them and that's why you came on here, join the club. But if you have literally zero interest in anyone else's muses or what happens to them, or any of your partner's plots or wants or interests, then you don't want roleplay partners, you want fans. And if that's the case, then go write a story and leave us alone.
Fanfics have readers. They have followers. They will send you kudos and compliments, and share your love of your muse with you, and literally all you have to do is write about your character- which you do anyway. I can promise you that you will be much better off there because it has everything you're looking for.
But roleplayers aren't here just for "attention" for their muses, they're here because they want to write with other people. They want to make their muse interact with others, and make friends, and share their love. They want to see what other people have to offer, and make crazy stories and interactions and all sorts of stuff. So having people in the rpc who just want "attention", and have literally no interest in giving others anything in return isn't just demoralizing, it's soul-sucking and defeats the purpose of this hobby. Writing, sending in memes, and making comments all take energy and effort. We can't keep giving it and getting nothing in return.
So please, to make everyone happy, go write some drabbles and post them on a fanfic account, while the rest of us find partners that actually want to write with us. I promise it will make everyone happier in the long run.
If you feel the need to demand replies, go find a second hobby
This has gotten so bad that people literally have to put it in their rules now. "Please don't bother me for replies", "once or twice is fine", "if you harass me over replies I will literally block you".
If that's the case, then we've got a problem.
Look, I get it, roleplaying is fun, and when you see a reply from a mutual you get that little spike of excitement and eagerly read whatever beautiful, glorious addition they have made to your plot, and then you get to add on and continue the story. It's the whole reason you've started this hobby, and why you followed them in the first place. I get that! I feel the same way!
But
But
No one can dedicate all their time to writing.
We have school work, family. We have other responsibilities that drain us. Sometimes we feel "inspired" but the literal energy and effort it takes to type out those paragraphs is just too much for us. Or hey, maybe we just aren't in the mood for that particular genre of writing. Whatever the case, people can't always write back right away. If you are SO impatient for a reply, and cannot help yourself from bothering them, then go find a second hobby to occupy your time.
Try coloring. Reading. Writing your own personal story/fic, anything. Heck, go outside and go for a freaking walk. If someone can't bring themselves to reply to you right away, then there's probably a reason- that has nothing to do with you- and they just need space.
Go find other projects. Go find more partners and start up other threads. Write some drabbles. Whatever it takes to stop bothering other people with their time and effort. You're impatient- that doesn't mean you need to take it out on others.
Are you paying these roleplayers? Are you providing them with some other service that will benefit them and make their lives easier? No? Then you have no right to demand anything.

Please remember not to take roleplaying personally
This one is going to be hard. Writers, artists and creative people in general are naturally sensitive, and don't always like criticisms. Totally get that. But when it comes to roleplaying, you have to remember that people will "judge" your character, writing style, or even graphics, but not you specifically.
We don't know anything about you. We don't know about your likes or dislikes, your other hobbies, how you talk or how you dress or act in your day to day. The only thing we know about you is that you love this character, and that you enjoy rping.
So if someone decides not to follow you back, or that they're not really feeling a plot you suggest, remember it doesn't say anything about you as a person. It's your character, their mood, their inspiration and preferences, and a lot of things, but not them saying they dislike you.
Unless you get anon hate trying to call you annoying or smt. Then feel free to get mad and defend yourself :/
Point is if someone not doing something you "want" makes you personally feel bad, or legit takes hit on your self esteem, then I think you need to step back and focus on yourself. Remember that while your writing is definitely important and an extension of you, it's not your personhood. It would be like if you took a history test and for whatever reason got a 60%. Sure, you may feel bad because you didn't succeed, but that's something you did, not something that defines you.
Yes we want you to have fun, and I hope you find partners that love playing with you as much as you them. But if your first thought is "oh they don't like me" when someone doesn't want to rp with you, then you need to take a step back and figure out how to remember that you're more than just your writing.
