Hey friends! So, for any first time roleplayers out there who’re interested in joining but are nervous about the actual roleplaying part... Don’t worry. Because we’ve pulled together a simple and easy guide on how to roleplay here for you. This will be useful for everyone though to make sure that you’re fitting with our formatting rule. So, let the guide begin... - Mods x
XKit is what helps and allows you to cut your posts (as you’re required to do so according to our rules).
First off, (assuming you use Google Chrome or Firefox) head to the app store and download it. It’s this one. The new one.
After downloading it, when you head to Tumblr, there’ll be a new fun button along the top. It’s the second one from the right (the round one with lines through it).
Click that button and a small window will pop up. Head to ‘Get extensions’ and search for the “Editable Reblogs” extension. Add that one.
Now, when you go to do replies, a small edit button will appear. (the little pencil icon)
Make sure you click that button. It should turn from white (like in the picture above) to agree. That’s a signal that it’s worked and is done.
Now you will be able to delete your entire previous reply (like shown ABOVE), and only have your roleplay partners reply (like shown BELOW). This is known as cutting your post. Huzzah.
First and foremost, we really recommend that you do not rely on the gif search button to find your gifs.
To find appropriate gifs, you’ll want to search “https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/firstname-lastname-gif-hunt”.
For example, I search https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/olivia-holt-gif-hunt for Bryoni.
Most gif hunts will let you know what size the gifs are and quality. You want to aim for medium to small HQ gifs. It is in our rules that we ask you to not use huge gifs.
From here, you have two options.
You can either save the gifs to your computer and always have them for whenever you want them (A guide on how to save gifs from a gif hunt can be found here). Or you can just open gif hunts when you need them and copy and paste a gif when you need it.
To add a gif that you have saved, click under your reply text and then click the small camera icon (the one on the far left).
To add gifs straight from a gif hunt, you want to right-click and copy the URL of the gif you want, then paste that URL into the reply where you want the gif to be. The URL should turn straight into the gif.
Hopefully that has helped and we’re always happy to explain things/help where we can.
