My least favourite new-ish trend for tumblr rp is with the rpers who are in it only for the #a e s t h e t i c doing ridiculous and annoying shit with their text alongside making it weirdly small. Weird fonts, spacing, breaks and starting everything their character says with like ------------. It's all like, it's okay they don't gotta be all fancy with text, it's words, the harder they make it to read the less people are going to want to read it.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE CHARACTERS INTERACTĀ
IF I WANTED TO SPEND 8 HOURS FORMATTING MY POSTS IāD GO BACK TO GAIA
OR WRITE A FUCKIN POETRY BOOK
But thatās the thing, people think itās fancy and they are ALWAYS theĀ āselective && privateā elitist type, and that makes people want to do it too because they want to be able toĀ ārun with the bestā.
When in reality theyāre just, literally, razzle dazzling you so you canāt tell their content is crap and full of purple prose for 5 paragraphs, and by the end of it you have maybe 2 sentences you can actually reply to.
