RPC self-care

We all get worn down by life and often we turn to RP for rejuvenation. But more than once I've seen people on here that find themselves burnt out on the RP community itself. With nearly 20 years of role playing under my belt, I thought I'd share some of my favourite self-care tricks.

Block people. You don't have to explain yourself and 'weird vibes' is a legitimate reason. You deserve to feel safe and unbothered in your hobby space, and RP is based on consent. Just like with any recreational activity, you can withdraw your consent at any time and no is a complete sentence.

Turn off anon. This prevents anonymous harassment and gives you great insight into who to block or report if you get non-anonymous harassment.

Drop threads. I know RP etiquette suggests you need to tell your RP partner when and why, and sure, if they ask politely you can give it a go - just know that a pre-written variant of 'not feeling it' is good enough. In my humble opinion, I think dropping boring or vexing threads is everyone's prerogative and doesn't require explanation. Again, no is a complete sentence.

Talk it out. If you like the thread but things took a turn you didn't like, it's time to bring the RP into the workshop. Something like 'Hey I really like our RP so far but I'm losing my spark, can we talk about course correcting where the plot is going?'

Make clear rules and revise them frequently. I'd also advise against spending said rules excusing or explaining why you don't like or want a certain thing - I cannot stress enough how your preferences are not up for debate.

Get comfy chasing. A lot of RP is about inviting others to play over and over and over. Rejection is a part of it. See if you can't find some element of self-care in it - taking rejection well is a great skill to practice in such a low stake environment.

Notice and celebrate the good stuff, instead of digging holes about the bad. Tell your co-players how great they are. Marvel at all the hard work you put into your muses and graphics. Admire your own blog.

Stop. Take a break. Check in with yourself. Do you actually need to face something in IRL? Do you need to rest? A snickers? A walk? Don't bother with posts á la 'offline for the day' - leave your options open to reduce guilt or shame if you want to poke your head back in.

Happy writing. 🌿

[So. It's been a long while, more than I anticipated. But... well, things have been difficult on my end, for many different reasons I will not go into in any detail here, partly because privacy and partly because my main focus has been moving forward and not dwelling unhealthily on certain things. But I am slowly feeling more, comfortable with returning to Tumblr again after yet another unplanned hiatus.

[What I have noticed, however, as I once again try to test out new blog banners and the like - a commission that's still in-progress but nearing completion - is that a LOT of my lore-pages on the Blog itself are rather outdated, or at the very least somewhat bloated from older content that I am not sure if I will be keeping at this rate. That includes things like how I structure it all to begin with, as well as the Blog Pages for Relationships, Timelines/AUs, Predecessors, Equipment, Powers, and more. I hope to try and get that revamped a bit in the next week, maybe two depending on time, availability, energy and inspiration, but above all else I do want to try and (re)connect with my mutuals on here, maybe reach out to potential new ones, and plot things out more again - both to either resume, restart, and/or recycle old threads and drafts into something new again, or revamp/add new shout-outs/mentions in the aforementioned Blog Resources as I work on the new changes.

TL:DR - I'm slowly working my way back to activity, but I will be dusting some things off as I do - don't be a stranger!

So, for the Pathfinder game I’m GMing for, there is an annual bardic competition that the party is attending for the first time. In preparation for this event, I studied up on some rules regarding performances and other relevant skills, and came across this doozy. xD

Apparently, if your bard rolls high enough, according to the vanilla rules, fucking angels could literally materialize from distant planes of existence just to watch him or her sing.

So, for the love of all in existence, please do not sing “Let the Bodies Hit the Floor” so epically that you awaken Lord Cthulu.

ATTN VILLAIN WRITERS:

you do NOT have to give your muse a REDEMPTION ARC to write them. YOU ARE WRITING A VILLAIN. do not be apologetic for the bad/horrible/mean/morally unethical things your muse does. they’re the bad guy for a reason.

// PSA.

I do not intentionally mean to drop threads randomly.

I do not intentionally mean to forget to reply.

I do not intentionally take forever to reply.

I do not intentionally favor other writers.

I will always LOVE writing with all of you!! just because I do the above things =/= me having lesser interest in our interactions. this has been a PSA.
