❛ death has left its mark once again. ❜ ❛ the talk, i surmise, is of you. ❜ ❛ i feel as if i've been in your debt from beginning to end. ❜ ❛ don't you dare. unless you want to die like a dog. ❜ ❛ not only are you incompetent, but shameless to boot. ❜ ❛ i apologise for any offence given by my bearing, but i'm quite unable to move, you see. ❜ ❛ i just wanted to get the apology out of the way, beforehand. since you're so scary and all. ❜ ❛ oh, my dear... had a change of heart already? ❜ ❛ i see. then you must kill me. ❜ ❛ beautifully fought. my thanks, 'twas more of a challenge than i envisioned. ❜ ❛ i want to be like everyone else, but i'm just too scared. ❜ ❛ are you so far out of your mind with fear... you've divested yourself of all reason? ❜ ❛ it is safe here. you may let down your guard. ❜ ❛ you are fated, it seems, to die in obscurity. ❜ ❛ someone must extinguish your flame. ❜ ❛ i suppose you'd like to know then? what awaits you on the path ahead? ❜ ❛ you will witness true horror. ❜ ❛ forgive me, i've been ... testing you. ❜ ❛ no secrets lie with me, not a one. ❜ ❛ you, yeah, you there! stop pretending you can't see me. ❜ ❛ you bloody halfwit. picking a fight with a dragon? ❜ ❛ a man cannot kill a god. ❜ ❛ perhaps it is foolish to say this to you of all people, but i am sure of my skill with the sword. ❜ ❛ if it's on the cards, i'd be glad to meet again. ❜ ❛ though the suffering cannot be undone, i can still mete out justice. ❜ ❛ never met someone with a taste for crab i couldn't trust. ❜ ❛ and when the fighting is done, then you may lay me to rest. ❜ ❛ honestly, i don't know what's going on anymore ... ❜ ❛ i know... i'm asking you to commit a cardinal sin. ❜ ❛ the depths of wickedness never fail to surprise me. ❜ ❛ perhaps before my departure, i needed someone to say farewell to. ❜ ❛ i always resented these hands. their pale complexion, a far cry from any warrior's. ❜ ❛ tell me a story... about the big, wide world... ❜ ❛ kill me, please... ❜ ❛ i hope you understand the weight of my words. ❜ ❛ what are you waiting for? a kiss goodbye? ❜

Vent about the RP community in general under there.

A lot of people like to say that they don't care about your aesthetic or how your blog looks as long as they like your writing style and can see your muse interact with theirs. This is false. Just because a blog looks good aesthetically, like a really nicely edited pinned post, a really fancy carrd, fonted and colored writing style, small and nice icons, does not make them a good writer. They can still be illiterate, keep repeating same words, not be creative. But that's not what matters for most people from MY EXPERIENCE that I've seen. But they always seem to get a lot of followers and a lot of people want to interact with them. However, you can be the best writer, someone who makes the roleplay fun, exciting, someone who makes people eagerly wait for a reply. And if your blog doesn't necessarily look fancy, it's a higher possibility you won't get a follow back. This is very sad. And I'm speaking from experience because I fell for this before too. Just because someone doesn't have cool gifs and small icons doesn't mean they don't put in effort. maybe they just can't. Maybe they don't know how to. And just because they do put in that effort, doesn't mean they can write that good. This is not to down anyone, I promise. I'm just speaking from what I have observed. I've had tons of mutuals on here who didn't necessarily have anything fancy going on. And I would see them keep making starter calls and ask for interactions. Then I look at fancy blogs and they speak about how they got tens of threads, hundreds of asks, they're getting overwhelmed by it, which is really nice, I suppose? It's so cool that people want to interact with you that much! But if your blog was half as fancy, would they? Please think about this guys. And please give people chances and actually read their writing instead of just seeing their promos and stuff and decide if you want to follow or not based on that. I hope no one takes offense to this, my fancy blogged, colored writing mutuals I love you all so much. I'm just talking about how unfair it is around here. Because it's so sad to see people who write so well get little to no interactions because their icons aren't nicely edited, you know?

When Worlds Collide

As the camera starts out staticky, you can hear a dark chuckle. Once the static clears out, a rather strange, mixmatched, dragon-like creatures comes into view.

"Hello, everypony! Should I say everyone. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Discord, spirit of chaos and disharmony!"

"Originally, I wasn't scheduled to make my Tumblr debut until much later, but a certain mod informed me that desperate times call for desperate measures. Something on the line of... 'notifications'?"

"Though as exciting as it is for me to show my face early, my only complaint would be the fact that I have to SHARE this blog with others. But I suppose this will have to do for now. Perhaps if things go well here, I'll be able to have my own personal blog down the line..."

"With that being said, let's get this show on the road! I've been sent here to summon several muses here that I'm sure you'll be happy to see! After all; a lot of them are people you've met before I assume?"

And with that, Discord snapped his fingers. Just like that, tons of people(and one pony), appear. They look around in confusion before turning to face the odd creature that was before them.

“UwaaaaaaAAAAAAHHH!!!”

The spikey-haired boy ran into hiding. Oddly enough, two of them looked and dressed exactly like him. One went after the more timid version to check of him, while the other had bandages, all over his torso, arms and legs(I have no sprites for that one! T_T)

"W-what that f&ck is that?!?!"

'Kyaaaaaaah! It's a monster!'

"I'm going to assume that this is the creature who brought us here. But... why?"

Discord was rather disappointed by certain reactions as he turned away.

"A simple 'thank you' would've sufficed! But I suppose most of you aren't much a fourth-wall breakers now aren't you...? How rude! To think I actually did this to help you all on your current predicament-"

Before the draconaquus could finish his sentence, a certain pink pony zoomed in and gave him a super tight hug from behind.

"GYAAAAAGH!!!"

"Discord! Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you sooooooo much for bringing us all together! I'm so happy to finally be able meet all my neighbors at once! I thought it going to take like... foreeeverrr to meet a few of them at a time! And I SO thank our mod a bejillion times for this too! And that best part is... you now get to be a part of this too! This is the best! Decision! EVERRRRRRRR!!!"

"C-can someone... please give us a promo... before Pinkie Pie... breaks me in half...?"

(Hello everyone. Mod Princess here. So basically, this is a chaos blog mashing @ask-timid-makoto-naegi, @danganronpa-v3-demo-au, @your-pink-party-pony, and @sole-survivor-makoto-naegi altogether. This is being done due to the recent changes on tumblr regarding the notifications. I figured that I'd have some fun and add Discord from MLP into the blog as well.

So this is what's going to happen from here on out. Every event and starter I decide to do regarding any of my other blogs are going to start off here from now on. You also can also RP on the chaos blog if you'd like. It will just require me to use other blogs to respond depending one which of my muse(s) you are interacting with. I will also be using this blog for any and all RPs that I didn't get notified on.

Aster recommends this to me as an alternative option to constantly pinging, and so far it seems to have worked after @unofficialuserluser tested it out. So now I'm giving it a go. Fingers crossed this continues to work!

Edit 5/5/2023 - Okay so I wasn’t informed until like… just now the the problem has been fixed. REALLY wish someone would’ve told me this sooner before I went ahead and made this blog. Nonetheless, it’s here and people are already interacting. So I’ll need to figure out an alternative. If you still want to interact, go ahead and do so.

@unofficialuser(anyone you want), @werewolf-makoto-naegi @slimemakotonaegi @ask-ghost-boys @yui-samidare-reborn (anyone you want), @japanese-ultimateautism @special-encounters (surprise me), @laylayeh @tobys-multiverse-official @lre123 @ask-ultimate-personas @ask-the-ultimate-matchmaker @alizachan @coldwisped

As always, anyone who isn't tagged can also interact

RP PROMPTS: From my own works

I went through some of my old cringy (and somehow popular) wattpad works and took quotes from them for people to use as rp prompts and starters

"That was so corny..."

"Why would they ever forgive you?"

"Maybe it's time to relieve you of your guilt..."

"I broke my promise...I promised I'd come back safe..."

"Can't disappoint them, can we?"

"Oh, you're the sweetest thing!"

"You were...Un-awake. Yeah, I forgot the right word, sue me."

"So...where are you headed?"

"I hope you weren't talking about me."

"What am I going to do with you?"

"When were you going to tell me about this then? Or were you going to hide it from me forever?"

"Answer wisely, you wouldn't want to upset me."

"You are not in any fit state to leave this room! You're sick!"

"You are not to tell me what to do!"

"Who do you think you are, telling me what to do?"

"Wow, didn't think you had the capability to be serious."

"I love you, and I know it is foolish to do so...but you see, I have always been a fool."

"What utter nonsense.."

"I wish things were...more fun around here...everything is just so...boring."

"Oh, a game? I'm down."

"What are you reading? Sure looks interesting."

"And...what is that supposed to mean?"

"I may be an idiot, but at least I look good."

"I can think of 20 different ways to shut you up, and they would all work. I know they would."

"I am this close to losing it. This. Close."

"Will you leave me be for one minute, you wanted me to fix this for you. I can't do that with you pestering me every 5 minutes!"

"I am friends with...what I can only assume...is the only person who can tell someone's got a secret just from looking at them"

"Diamond's may be a girl's best friend, but music is her sister."

"Grow up, will you?"

Okay so people who kind of pay attention to my posts (so, like, four of you) might know that I have had a WILD (pun intended) reintroduction to Animal Jam Classic after over half a decade, it’s still a cesspool of either novice door-to-door salesmen who wanted to be furries or furries who wanted to be novice door-to-door salesmen, I love it, it has my heart. BUT! I do have QUESTIONS! So if you’ve stuck around Animal Jam in the time that I’ve been gone: HELP???

1) Is the pillow room actually gone?? Am I delulu? Where I could have SWORN the pillow room was is now the club, and I could have sworn that the club got the boot ages ago to make way for that stupid alpha museum thing?????

2) WHAT THE FUCK IS AN R.I.M.????

3) THE INFLATION IN JAMAA IS WORSE THAN CALIFORNIA holy fuck. ONE LONG for THREE HUNDRED DIAMONDS??? Um?? That is 100 days straight of logging on just to afford what used to be the standard value marker of Animal Jam? (“Oh yeah a den beta is valued at about three plain black spikes” NOT ANYMORE IG) You know what I sold my spikes for back in the day? 3-5 diamonds. 10 if I was trying to scam highball someone. Nowadays you can see someone trying to sell a BASIC ADVENTURE ITEM (like Sir Gilbert’s chair or something you’re guaranteed to get) for 15 DIAMONDS. What the shit? What triggered this inflation??

4) Didn’t all adventures past the first three use to be members only? New AJ classic is making me question my sanity.

5) Are the good animals coming back. This isn’t even funny. Where are the rhinos. They’re supposed to be one of the starter animals. Wtf.

6) have roleplays just. Died. You go into the township and it’s all “CHEAP LONGS MY DEN, JAG FOR PRICE BARGAINING” and “COLOR SWAP MY WORN”. Not one single “Warrior cats rp my den, my wall for roles!” Where did they go? Did we lose all sense of joy in the world??

HOW TO INTERACT WITH TUMBLR RP BLOGS

Hello friends! I've gotten quite a few non-rp blog followers on this account— thank you, and I'm flattered that you love Louis enough to follow me here! However!!! This is a ROLEPLAY blog, and as such, there is a slightly different etiquette code than regular tumblr fandom blogs.

Normally I just block folks who don't read my rules, but I figured I'd make this comprehensive post for archival reasons anyway. So! What are the do's and don'ts of tumblr RP etiquette?

DO: read our rules! Every rp blog has them! Mine are linked in my pinned post! You can also find them here! Rules are different for every single rp blog, so it's important to read them to understand what kind of interactions they're comfortable with

DON'T: REBLOG OUR WRITING!!!!! DO NOT REBLOG FROM RP BLOGS PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST, THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE.

The first reason this is considered rude is because roleplay writing is NOT for you. is it cool to read an rp blog's threads and cheer from the sidelines? absolutely! I LOVE getting little messages from people following along and commenting on what makes them excited! But rp is a contained writing format between two people, so taking someone else's writing and putting it on your blog is just....not good! it's not like reblogging fanfic! it feels more like stealing!

The second reason this is considered rude is because rp blogs on tumblr use the notes system to track our writing threads and other activity. when people reblog from us, it fucks up the note count (deadass some of y'all almost made me delete this fucking account when one of my amc salt posts got out and i had like 200 notes to wade through overnight. please don't do it).

There may be certain exceptions to this rule— for example, on my rules page, I state that I'm okay with folks reblogging my non-writing related content (aesthetic photos, musings, etc.). But for the most part...reblogs are kinda off-limits

DO: send in questions from headcanon/character building prompts! Basically, any question set that's meant to be answered out of character, referring to Louis rather than me writing as Louis. Here are some examples of what I mean: x, x, x

DON'T: send in in-character sentence starters meant for other rp blogs! Whats a sentence starter? Here are some examples! (x, x, x) Basically, any prompt that is meant to be sent in FROM ANOTHER RP BLOG, to be replied to in-character on my part. If you send me an anonymous message with a line of dialogue from a sentence starter, I can't do anything with that, because I don't know who my writing partner is supposed to be. These are for established character blogs only.

DO: send in random questions or comments! I do love interacting with y'all and I don't want you to be intimidated by all the rules I just laid out! If you have a question for Louis, please feel free to ask him and I'll reply in-character! If you have a question you want me to answer ooc, feel free to ask it! As long as you're respectful, it's all good!

#SORRY THIS GOT LONG!! #I hope this doesn't come off as cunty like seriously I hope this is actually helpful #I'm just a little overwhelmed with this blog lately so I'm trying to set boundaries <3 #ok for other rp blogs to reblog #*【 ❛I'm not the spirit of any age. ❜ 】 ➤ OOC #;psa

tension rp starters 🎀 : your muse brushes my muse’s hair .

Hanma lets his eyes slide close as his back rests against the side of the bed from where he was seated on the ground. It was the only spot where Draken and Hanma could both be able to sit comfortably as the blonde brushes through Hanma's long hair. They'd already had the height difference before, but the time that had passed had also seen the difference in height increase as Hanma kept growing. Hanma doesn't particularly mind though; even just the rug was more comfortable than some places he'd had to crash at.

Having someone else brush his hair was a strange sensation. Strange, but not unpleasant as his shoulders relax - each day a bit more of the tension seems to be able to fade away. Hanma won't admit it, but he does feel better after the shower - even if it had almost involved Draken dragging his ass from the blankets and into the waiting shower full of warm water.

A quiet croon leaves the reaper when the brush disappears and is replaced by Draken's hand in his hair. He half expects to feel yank for no other reason than because Draken could, though the thought doesn't really make much sense if he thought about it. Either way, it never comes. There's just fingers gently combing through his now brushed hair, soothing in a way that makes something hurt inside his chest.

He lets his head fall to the side, resting against Draken's thigh as the fingers soothe and brush his hair for no apparent reason. He supposes the long hair is a radically different look and it's only been a few days. In the past he knows what he would have done, but that's then and this is now. He stays still for a moment, still allowing the touch that runs through his hair before he speaks up.

" I can make dinner tonight, if you want. " He finds his voice and speaks, low and deep compared to the usual musical taunt his voice has held. " Make you something new I've learned. " He offers, rolling his head back and opening his eyes so he can look up at Draken. It was the least the he could do, he supposes.

RP Starters from "The Munsters" (2022)

Geez, conceited, much?

Simply dropping ice-cold facts.

Zombie problem solved.

You know, a man is more than the sum of his parts.

What do I look like, a moron?

Well, I suppose you have a better idea.

You'll kill us both!

I could have altered mankind's place in the universe.

I have pictures of my fuzzy little nuggets!

Cute little fella.

I'm gonna go...

I want a man who makes my blood run cold.

Let me guess... he's broke again.

That's not something you see everyday!

Don't you dare touch that dial!

Beauty goes skin-deep, but ugly goes down to the bone.

I'm looking for a vision... a queen.

Which dress says I'm very, very interested, but not miserable and depressed?

HEY, NUMBSKULL!

When they made me, they broke the mold!

We're dealing with some serious brain power here!

Dazzle me with your side-splitting wit.

I knew the moment I laid eyes on you that you were special.

I'm just a regular gal living a boring, normal life.

If there's one thing I know, it's that the rest of the world melted away as soon as you appeared in my life.

Perfect husband coming up!

Everybody's in a dancing mood tonight.

You know I never drink wine.

You're the hemlock in my veins.

My sweet pussycat.

All I ask is that we spend the rest of my lives growing disgracefully old together.

What a cream puff!

Can someone please call 911?

He's your bloody problem now, mate!

You know how wolves get after a few too many.

I would hate to think I just threw my life away marrying a blockhead!

I hate to say it, but old Paris is overrated.

You look so continental and suave!

And she swore she would get revenge on me.

Bottom's up!

Who's side are you on?

So manly!

Over my dead body.

You gotta get ahead of the curve if you wanna swerve.

Scram.

Have you fellas heard about the new glass coffins?

Don't argue with me.

Well... now what?

i will not forget the time i was told “i forget people think that’s a good way to characterize x” and detailed everything they didn’t like about my starter 🙃 it’s okay if you don’t gel with someone. it happens and not every rp works out. not everyone will have the same interpretations but i don’t want to hear how wrong i am about a fictional character or have the media i like insulted. this is supposed to be for fun

Glaciation and Oblivion

// An Offscreen Story/RP Starter for Muse Mixup Madness (event credit: @normal-paldean-student)

(OOC Disclaimer: I just wanted to let y’all know that this storyline is not going to be canon to the rest of Pandoria’s lore as it is for an event. Also, I’m usually pretty low stakes, but this is an exception.)

(Prompt: Into the Spotlight (Chosen AU))

She was once again restless.

When Pandoria awoke, her hands were cold. Her entire body was cold. A faint throbbing could be felt in the back of her head and her body was growing weak. Was she sick? Had too much exposure to this world made her sick? But that conclusion made no sense at all. Something was clearly wrong and she needed to figure out what it was.

But stars above, she was in pain. The numbness almost felt as if her body was beginning to freeze over. It didn’t make any sense. The temperature seemed fine in both her lodging and outside. She faltered to the floor and clutched her head, the headache growing ever stronger.

And then she heard a voice. One that she did not recognize.

Hearken unto me, child of the stars. You and I are more alike than you think. If you listen to my words, this pain will cease. But if you refuse, you shall suffer my wrath.

“Who are you?!” Pandoria called out. She was met quickly met with deafening silence.

The voice spoke once more.

I am an empty vessel of something much greater, yearning to be whole again. I had lost something that I cherished long, long ago, and now I remain a husk of who I once was. I too fell from the stars. I too know how it feels to be alien and alone. I too am missing an aspect of who I truly am.

Pandoria’s body continued to shake, both in due part to her skin feeling like its being pricked with an icy needle, and that she is utterly terrified. How did this random disembodied voice know she was inhuman? How did it know that she was yearning for someone who was literal worlds apart and felt alone in this unfamiliar world?

“Stop…please.” She managed to mutter.

You know it to be true, starchild.

“Why are you doing this to me?”

To see if you are worthy to wield my gift.

What in the worlds was it talking about? A gift? If anything, Pandoria felt like she was being cursed.

Bur at the same time, she was morbidly curious to see what this mysterious voice had in store for her.

“…What is this gift you speak of?”

The voice let out a guttural grumble in response before speaking again.

I shall grant you a small aspect of my power. I only do so for kindred souls and those who I deem worthy, and you are one such person. But this power has its limits. You will not keep my strength for yourself. On the eve of sunset, this gift will wane forever and you will return to your normal state, forgetting that this even occurred. This will also be a test of your conviction. Your strength. Will you use this gift to fuel your own ambitions and succumb to the maddening cold? Or will you defy the odds and use this gift for something greater? The path is yours to choose.

Pandoria closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Was this really the best idea? This whole situation was crazy in her mind; a literal disembodied voice was offering her powers. But she hadn’t a clue what they were. If she said no, she would incur its wrath as it had previously stated and she was already in immense pain. It said that it would give her a choice, but she was ultimately backed into a corner.

The deal had to be made.

“I…I, Pandoria of the Ultra Reconnaissance Squadron accept your terms.” She stated firmly with resolve.

Then it is final. My powers shall flow within your blood and body only for a fleeting moment. What you do with said gift is up to you. Now arise, Chosen of the Boundary!

As the voice spoke, its voice resonated within Pandoria’s mind. The pain that was supposed to stop increased a thousandfold. It almost felt as if her body was turning to ice. She cried out once more before it all subsided, and fell to the floor of her motel room unconscious.

What was done, was done.

Vent I think? Not really I'm just very confused

Can someone please give me advice on what I'm supposed to do when I keep try to interact with a mutual but they don't seem very interested? I sent them messages, they actively post but don't respond. I sent them an ask from a prompt. I liked their starter call and specified the character. And no I don't think it's because they don't feel like rping in general because they do reblogs replies to other people, and answer prompt asks from others. Not that they don't want to rp with my character in specific either, I saw their character RP with someone else who muses my character. What am I supposed to do? Would it be overwhelming if I message them again? Should I let it be? If you are not interested in rping with me why did you follow me back 😭

Get to know the rper - RP related

Send me a ♔ for me to describe a favorite rp character of mine.

Probably Matt. Mainly because writing him forced me to change how I approach writing a character. All of his replies are written without any references to sight. I reread my partner's reply countless times so I can make all of the references Matt would need to navigate the situation; heartbeats, sounds, scents, perfumes, shampoos, temperature, etc. Maintaining a healthy balance between this information, inner monologue, actions, and dialogue in every single one of his replies has been a challenge but I love him for it.

Send me a ♕ for me to describe favorite rp character of someone else’s.

@honorhearted's Ben Tallmadge. Turn is such a small fandom so I have no idea how the hell I found them but so happy I did! They are so wonderful and patient. Their Ben is the hidden gem of Tumblr, I swear. Ben's voice is so accurate along with his mannerisms and some of the headcanons we have for Clint and Ben are hysterical. To make it all so much (and I absolutely love this fact) they actually research what would be accurate for the time period. Lobbycock! They are such a joy to see on the dash! If you are not following, I would highly recommend!

Send me a ♦ for me to describe a plot that I’ve been wanting to do.

I've been really wanting to do a plot around Matt and his hatred of swimming. First off, he can swim. He's not Michael Phelps but he is skilled enough to keep himself alive. Water really messes with senses, both overwhelming and "blinding" at the same time. I've been dying to do something around this but I'm also very hesitant to because I fear the thread would turn into Matt being mocked. The whole thing is supposed to be a moment of vulnerability and chance for a deeper connection with another muse but I really worry it would be Matt being mocked for being afraid of water, which he's not.

Send me a ☮ for me to describe an amazing rp experience.

I wrote a reply to very heavily angsty/emotional thread. Like I was tearing up writing the reply, which is extremely rare for me. I posted and was eagerly waiting for my partner to read it and I got an anon in my inbox. Someone who apparently reads my threads (?!) had cried when they read the reply. I was FLOORED. I didn't even know anyone but my partners even read my threads so that alone was a massive compliment. Then to find out that the reply had brought them to tears! Any time I doubt my writing or myself, I just think back to the anon. I don't know who they are or if they still follow me or not but they really made me smile. It's been years and I still think of their anon when I'm feeling down.

Send me a ☠ for me to describe a terrible rp experience.

So it was a toss up between this and the time I was bullied to the point I nearly left tumblr.

Someone had followed me but I hadn't followed back. They sent a message to my inbox asking me if I would write with them, that they love my blog, yada yada yada. I caved. I said let's do a test thread but I wasn't going to follow back because they wrote mainly very short threads, a few sentences to a paragraph, and I didn't want all of that clogging up my dash. They were excited and instantly going on and on about wanting to be best friends. I explained that I had just gone through a fallout with someone a few weeks before and I wasn't interested in getting close to anyone at the moment. All I wanted to do was write and that's it. They said they understood. We did some plotting and they wrote a starter. A few days after they posted the stater, they asked me when I was going to reply to it. I explained I am a slow rper and that it's in my rules. A couple more days pass and they ask again. Once again, I explain I am slow with replies. Over the course of 10 days they asked me 4 times and each time I would say they same thing. Also, over the 10 days they are constantly messaging me; telling me how much they love me (not my writing, me, as in I love you), giving me a play by play of their daredevil rewatch, and so many headcanons. They really ignored the boundaries I set in the beginning. Day 11 I break and softblock them. They were causing me so much stress. Within minutes, they send me a message chewing me out, cursing me out, and wishing bad things on me and blocked me immediately. Holy shit. They don't respect my rules and boundaries that I very clear laid out multiple times to them but I am a piece of shit? That was almost two years ago and I still remember the blog name, just in case.

how do you ensure inclusivity for new members? as someone relatively new, i've had one person total reach out for plotting. i understand it's a two way street but how is someone new supposed to incorporate themselves into a setting that everyone else already seems comfortable and established in? especially when new members aren't aware of what connections already exist. please don't take this as hate, it's just a genuine request for help with navigating this as joining was already overwhelming

we appreciate you reaching out & understand that being new to a group with established connections can be quite daunting, so we’re more than happy to help! for our new members we do ask that at least two starters are answered from our exitium.starter tag before posting a starter of your own. this is just to integrate your character onto the dash in order to get things going. as with any rp, replies aren’t always immediate and with everybody running on different schedules, that is entirely normal. similarly, different players have different methods of forming connections. some prefer to jump right in with replies and wing it ( me hehe ), whilst others like to reach out with plot calls. if you feel as though your plot call hasn’t been responded to though, please don’t be afraid to reach out to the group either via the discord (if you are apart of the server), or by sliding into blog dm’s if you you would like to plot with somebody. we’re all here to write for characters that we love, so nobody is going to begrudge a message asking to plot! if anything, we encourage it! also, i've found from personal experience that bios are our best friends. lots of our lovely members have some wanted connections tagged into their bios, which again is fantastic for establishing connections for new players. we're still a fairly new group ourselves, so it's a learning curve for us too, but we're big believers in ensuring that everybody feels included and will do everything in our power to make that happen!

@dcviated asked: 10 and 15!

Munday Writing Stuff - Accepting!

Something that bothers you to read in RP specifically?

Two big ones would be muses with no discernible faults or weaknesses (the Mary Sue/Gary Stu sort of muse that should be appealing and attractive to everyone. I have chosen not to follow blogs for this very reason: decent writing quality, but too-perfect muses), and quiet/brooding/introspective muses whose threads don't leave much to interact with or respond to. Closely followed by replies that answer questions from your previous reply, but don't add anything else to the thread.

But a Danganron.pa-specific annoyance? DR muses whose talents never factor into their lives. Yes, they're written as being admitted to Hope's Peak Academy based on such-and-such talent, and then the muns...never show them engaging with that talent. Not even schoolwork.

As fun as high school stories can be, the whole point of Hope's Peak, at least in the Main Course, is to gather students who are incredibly skilled in specific talents while aiming to have them be wholly and completely defined by them, in order to obtain the brightest possible future. A secured career for life, money, fame, etc. That's a lot of pressure for a 16 to 18 year old! There's even canon characters who don't want to be defined by their specific talents, and some who want to pursue other interests but due to their status at Hope's Peak, they can't.

And I really wish more DR muns would explore those topics: how did their muse's talents end up shaping their muse? Did they peak in high school? Did they eventually go on to the success the school promised?

This is more of what bothers me not to read in RP, but I think it still qualifies.

How many times do you reread a reply?

I talked about how many times I read my own in another reply, but here I'll share how many times I reread someone else's starter to me/reply in a thread:

Around a dozen.

Especially if the reply is long and/or there's a Big Dramatic Moment going on.

This is mostly due to my own writing process which involves something like this:

get tagged in reply and/or starter

read said post

Immediately get a few dialogue options that I scribble down for later

think on it for a little while/overnight/while I do something else

sit down to write properly. Read through the post at least twice more.

Put the kettle on for pot of tea #1

Look at my earlier/immediate notes and either decide 'there's something here that might be okay' or 'well this is crap and I have no idea how to match my writing partner's quality and make them feel All The Things'

Decide I need to put on a playlist. Immediately get distracted by whatever random track Spotify thinks my Daily Mix needs.

"Well, I'll read this again and then do some google searches for thread ideas. For accuracy, you know."

This inevitably leads to a deep dive of: blogs, reddit, wikipedia, and/or YouTube

"Oh, this would be a great idea for another thread/a future thread! But wait, I was supposed to get inspo for -this- thread"

Goes back to read the reply a few more times

Right around here is when I try to write the first paragraph and yell about why I can't form words good. I'm an absolute imposter of a writer because why am I not turning around thousands of words per day.

Someone messages me on discord with something inevitably more appealing than trying to write this reply. I engage with it because that's a cute meme or great idea for muse shenanigans

Put on the kettle for pot of tea #2 while browsing the dash

Laugh at some dashcomm, send some memes, immediately forget where I was going with that thread reply

Read the reply once again while the tea steeps

...finally write and queue my reply to the reply, possibly while annoyed this took so long.

This is also why writing more than three replies or starters per day for me is a real achievement. Because each time, I go through this process. I'm sure there's a better way to focus and do things but I've yet to figure it out.
