RP Etiquette for Non-RPers

A lot of posts about what is or isn’t okay for non-RPers to do never seem to make it to personal blogs, so I thought I’d try one. These are true for the overwhelming majority of RPers I know on Tumblr, though nothing is ever 100%.

Do not ever reblog someone else’s RP posts. These aren’t edited and have a small, mostly contained audience. These are not like fanfic which an RPer has purposefully posted for anyone to see. It is seen as incredibly rude.

Most RPers are fine with you liking the RP posts, though. Most actually appreciate knowing other people enjoy them.

RPers sometimes follow non-RPers for various reasons (you might post a lot about their fandom, they might also follow you on a personal and want to keep track of your posts, etc.). They’re not normally expecting you to follow back.

Non-RPers can follow RPers, just keep in mind that they won’t interact with you the way a non-RP blog would. Sometimes RP blogs might also be suspicious, because of the tendency to get followed by nsfw and spam blogs.

You can send in Asks, anonymous or not, to the character (called a “muse”). RPers love getting questions for their characters to answer or memes that can be done with anyone (for example, there are memes about specific ships, just send in a ship you like to the RPer).

You can send in Asks, anonymous or not, to most RPers (who are called “muns”) about events, characters, etc. in their canon, as long as they relate to their character. Everyone likes to talk about their own opinions!

You can also use Anon asks to RP with most RPers (send in asks making it clear you’re a certain character, someone they’d know from canon, and ask questions or make commentary for them to respond to).

And you can always ask an RPer for information about RPing if you’re curious. Most RPers are happy to give answers or direct you to someone who would.

An experiment. Will you please reblog or like this post if you are an RP blog?

Groups included with the likes if you could. I’d love to get an idea of how many people are writers on here and just how big the RP side of tumblr is.

Send “So this is what you listen to” and my muse will share a song on their playlist with yours.

Tell my muse what animal they remind your muse of and why.

“Mun and I will be back online sometime next week. It’s nothing serious, but she is feeling under the weather.”

“While we’re away, however, she mentioned to me that she was writing an event for myself and the blog! It may not be finished when we return, but she hopes it will be finished before spring comes around.”

“Meanwhile, mun and I are queueing some ask memes to answer when we return. Take care of yourselves, we’ll be back before you have the chance to miss us!”

True to his word, the RK900 spoke his mind right away, “Caring.”

He was... rather surprised with his answer, and a flustered blue blush darkened his ears. “I-I mean-... yes, caring would be the answer.”
