i am begging all resource makers to please use the rpr wip tag. it is honestly the best tag iâve ever witnessed in my ..... ten years on tumblr. itâs everyoneâs to do list in one place that you can reference before you make your own to do list so youâre not overlapping to do lists with someone else. please use it.Â
iâve been seeing some posts in the tags lately about apprehension regarding established rps, especially in terms of their lengths. personally, i think if you see your dream group but you notice itâs already established then go for it. the chances/odds that an established rp is going to last long enough for you to develop your muse are much higher than new rps, so donât let the intimidation get you down. under the cut, iâm gonna put some tips and tricks iâve picked up over the years both as being that member of an established group and as someone whoâs joined them and seen it work & not work out for me.Â
please note that everything i say here comes from my own personal experience and may not work for everyone or be true in every case.Â
1. i would say the first step in this is to do your research. the good thing about an established rp is that thereâs lots of pages and character blogs and such that you can check out to see if this game is a good place for your muse. you can check out the character blogs to see how active the group is, check the starter tags to see if people get replies, and check the intro tag to see if new characters are getting likes. you can also go through and see how the admin has responded to certain questions and issues and if the group seems to have a lot of drama, just stay away. i know not every group with recent drama on the main is going to die, but generally i let them get their shit sorted and donât introduce myself to the rp right then. if the group is smaller, i might even take the time to check out a few of their characters intros and notice what types of characters they might be missing if i donât already have a muse in mind. or if thereâs a muse with a really similar plot to my character, thatâs always good to know too. idk this might be excessive, but honestly if that stuff is available to me, iâm going to creep. i canât help it.Â
2. have ideas in mind and go for what you want! if the group is established, itâs likely that a lot of members have #1 on their plot wishlist filled â but YOU donât. so donât be afraid to ask for it, to point out what you really want to do on your intro. if you donât get those key connections filled right away (i.e. âthe best friendâ), donât worry about it. new members will float into the group that need those types of connections too, so stick it out and donât be nervous to point out plots you want because often times, members will be very receptive. if they love their group, theyâll want you to stick around and develop their muse too, and usually when i see a new member, i try to do everything i can to fit my character into the essential bits of their story that they need.
3. donât be afraid to reach out! one of the biggest things i see in rp is someone new joins, they post their intro, and then they never log on again or message me back after i say hi. i know it can be intimidating to rush headfirst into a group of people already rping, but SLIDE INTO THOSE DMS. anyone who likes/reacts to your post, message them! this is basic rp 101 at this point, and itâs definitely newer in the past few years, so if youâre returning to rp after a break, you might not know this. but youâre totally good to message anyone who likes your intro. also, if someone posts a starter but you donât know how to respond, feel free to message them like, âhi, i want to reply to your starter, but i was wondering if we could plot something first?â...also, sometimes in an established rp, the dash can move really fast. donât be afraid to reblog your intro or your starter or message the main to post the link, especially if youâre not showing up in the tags. admins are there to help.
4. donât give up too fast. if you feel unsure, give it a couple of days. try a few threads. having established plots and intricate connections take time to build on, so you have to give it that same time and effort back. you might feel discouraged seeing other members with intricate plots several threads deep, but if you stick it out, you will get there too. sometimes it really doesnât work out, yeah, but that can happen in a new group too. so, give it a chance for a while and give yourself some time to get comfy. established plots take time.
5. donât expect to ship right away! just like established plots, these things take time, especially in groups where there are a lot of plots going on. sometimes people have chemistry right off the bat and thatâs dope, but all of my best ships have happened a month+ into the group. once i was in a group for six months, rping and doing threads with this person, before we realized...yo, they might be...something...and it was a slow burn friends to lovers but it was the cutest shit iâve ever done. if you really just want to do ships, i would say focus on 1x1s, because group rps are about multiple plots and you might not get all your wanted connections at once.
HOWEVER, it is a huge pet peeve of mine when people enter a group and i see other members fail to greet them, or you join a group chat and no one stops talking to welcome you. that shit is so disheartening and itâs common sense. if you like your group and want it to last, you have to be super inviting to new members and new characters. otherwise, youâve just got a slow death on your hands.Â
fucking!Â
welcome someone when they enter your group chat.Â
like intros and realize that people might be shy, so donât be afraid to message them first
try to wrap them up in your storylines and fill their connections as best you can
feel free to message them things like âiâm going out, but welcome to the group! iâll message you about plotting tm!âÂ
i feel super passionate about established rps and i think a huge issue in the rpc is the hype around new rps...hype that dies very quickly because people are intimidated by an established group. donât be afraid of that shit, embrace it. if it doesnât work, it doesnât work, but the odds of getting to develop your muse in a lasting rp are better that way.
iâm not saying DONâT join new rps, because you totally should â new rps are the shit and itâs so fun to be somewhere since the beginning. but if you see a plot you really like, donât let the fact that itâs been open for a few weeks scare you off.Â
hey friends!! iâm working on an aidan gallagher gif pack atm but iâd like some input on what i should work on next. pls vote and let me know who yâall wanna see!
yo ! so, themes with scrollable headers are pretty popular in the rpc and they look Damn Good, but if youâre like me ( aka lazy asf ) it can get a little tiring having to scroll past said beautiful header every time you refresh / visit a new page.
luckily, thereâs a really simple solution to this ! just wrap the headerâs html in the following:
{block:HomePage}
{/block:HomePage}
this way, it will only be visible on the home page of your blog, making that great first impression, but all subsequent pages will be header-free; no more scrolling ! click here for a visual example of the above variable in use.
anyway, i hope this helps anyone who may have been wondering how to go about it !!
