idk lmao

nah i really dunno. the first RPs I ever did was animal rps, and then eventually transitioned to "animanga" very briefly (really more just illustrated). my first actual dedicated rp forum was mfc, back in the days where there was no real distinction between the two communities. but since my last major long term site closed down, i've switched purely to animanga. like others have said, i like the freedom and range that animanga/illustrated gives than RL does. but it's also just like... people choose FCs based on the vibe?

And less so if they're actually a fan of the FC itself. like, idk who anyone in hollywood really is outside a lot of the big name actors. i don't really watch live action TV. but i will still laugh if i see someone using the supernatural boys as FCs, or anyone from the MCU. but anyway, like it's been said, RL FCs feel a little more restricting. there are still a handful of RL FCs i have tucked away in my back pocket, for when the time finally comes but until then...

i also think animanga rp'ers are like, more willing to go with the general goofyness of the genre?? i also love the creativity of the animanga rpc, even if some specific genres or fandoms aren't to my taste, yall always seem to be having something new going on!! idk, the vibe is just overall better on the forum animanga rpc to me. so that's why i stay.
