#roleplayer help

I usually will get a song I like off of youtube and then google "youtube to mp3 converter". Sites change all of the time so I use a different one each time. But once I have the mp3 file I upload it to jukehost. Copy the URL for the song and then paste it here:

oooo boy have i dealt with people like this before ! ( i've probably also BEEN this person tbh ) . honestly , if you think you can gain anything from it / they'd be the kind of person to take on and respond to constructive criticism , then absolutely 10000% approach them gently and tell them about your experience and list out examples of when you've been effected by this behaviour .

i'll admit though , even sometimes with the talk . . it won't be enough . people need to realise some things for themselves , and they don't realise what they're doing until they really take a step back and say ' hold on .. did i just hijack this whole plot ?? ' ' hold on , not many people are wanting to plot with me . . so maybe theres something more here that im missing '

self realisation and self reflection can be a beautiful thing , but no harm in giving an extra push to show this person how it can be slightly exhausting and difficult for u to want to plot with them !

Mae presents you with a guide on → Getting into a canon character

*This guide is merely made up of my own ideas and opinions. These may not apply to every roleplayer.

Hi Mae!

Sorry this is in a submission, it got too long for the ask box, I hope that’s okay.

I have multiple characters in one RP. I just dropped one because of time constraints, and when I chose to drop him, I had been debating between him and another of my characters because I didn’t have much of a muse for either of them. In the end I chose the one I did because he was a less important character for the plot and I wasn’t leaving any plots in the lurch, and I hoped that dropping him would give me more time and energy to focus into the other so that I could re-find my muse for him. He’s a main canon character in the fandom and there are still unresolved issues with another character which are proving difficult to solve so I wanted to make sure, for her sake, that they could be sorted out IC before I considered dropping him. However, it’s now been a couple of weeks and I still haven’t got him back. I feel incredibly stressed out whenever I think about it, and when I told my partner, she said we would sort something out but we still haven’t talked about it. I don’t know whether I should keep trying, and if I do what I can do to regain that muse, or if I should just drop him, too, but I know if I do that, he’s a popular enough character that someone else will take him up and I might regret it.

Hi there, Anon! Don’t worry about it, submitting me things is totally fine. 

Firstly, I would recommend that you speak to your partner and maybe the admins of the group once more. I know you’ve already gone through this step but just make it very clear that this whole ordeal is stressing you out and so you may need to no longer play the character. 

Please try and remember that roleplaying is supposed to be fun, I know that you are just trying to do the right thing by your partner but you shouldn’t be getting stressed over things that are supposed to be enjoyable. 

I can understand the fear of someone taking up that character if you let them go (nevermind how selfish it may seem, we all feel that way). I would suggest that you take a step back. Let the admins know that you need to take some time away from that character for the while (maybe even the roleplay?) as you don’t feel like you can be giving him everything you could right now. They may be a little cautious if you don’t know how long you may need but good admins should understand that people need a break. 

Let them know, take a step back and just relax. Concentrate on the characters that you are still managing to enjoy at the moment and, if you decide that you would still like to keep this character, start to work on getting back your muse. I have a guide here on trying to get your muse back but just remember to take your time if you decide to try again. 

Take as much time as you need and don’t allow anyone else to push you into going back. You will know when you’ve got your muse back, not them. If, after you attempt to get your muse back, you are still feeling stuck, I think you should have a good think about whether you would be okay with dropping him. You may get a little sad if someone else takes him up but sometimes we have to just admit defeat and move on. 

Some advice for tumblr roleplayers under the age of sixteen, especially those joining the community for the first time.

I've been part of the tumblr roleplay community for a little over a year, and I'm turning sixteen in less than two months. In that time, I've learned a few things I thought I'd share! Though in many ways the roleplay experience similar for any age, there are a few things that younger roleplayers, especially those new to tumblr roleplay, might want to keep in mind.

           Short list of things to help with tumblr rpers. Some of these things can probably be found on various other rp help blogs but these are things that I have picked up/figured out/or personally use while roleplaying on tumblr. So ya know, here ya are.

Aesthetic based resources;

messletters --- you can find symbols, edit your text to look really ｃｏｏｌin about a million ways and just about anything else text based here.

visitor/online tracker --- you can customize this however you'd like, it's just a tracker that shows how many people are viewing your page at the time.

follower tracker --- same site and works the same as the online tracker. Displays and tracks your followers in case you're into that.

cursors-4u --- cursors! just pick the cursor you want, and copy the code you want, and from there follow the application instructions. Usually it's just to post them into your description or your custom html.

RPers dash help;

xkit --- hopefully you know about this but if not bless you poor baby here is xkit. it's an extension for tumblr that will fix your dash and more basically. 

Reblogging as text ---this is important for anyone knew to rping who reblogs as a link and can't figure out when the post theiy're reblogging is being cut off.

Trimming your posts --- please trim your posts, geesh.

Other things;

befunky ---a very good, free resource where you can edit icons; you can make them beautiful, round the corners, do whatever you want here. Helpful if your muse has a little known fc and you have to make your own icons, but don't have PS.

tumblr static img uploader ---if you're editing a page and you need to use image urls to insert your images, it's useful to put them into tumblrs static image uploader first. That way you don't lose them if the original site or poster deletes the image, and tumblrs static uploader is hosting, so it will load quickly~.

theme-hunter ---really the only theme resource I use; I get all of my themes and pages from here about 99% of the time.

kiwi6 --- it's a site that you can hotlink music from as an alternative to dropboxing your music into a music player for tumblr. It's quick and easy and it stores all of the songs you upload.

There are two ways to make font small. You can use the code so it looks like this:

this would be sub

or you can use , which makes it look like this:
