joined a thread bc I thought it'd be fun... only for it to be the opposite and to have my character get mostly ignored. sighs. this is why I wonder why I should even bother. :/


God I hate when that happens. It doesn't happen too often that I swore off group threads, but sometimes it feels like what I typed wasn't even read. I'm sorry that happened to you.

Also lol, Traveller, I was screaming that developmental disability to you? Also that is a joke, I am fully aware I type like a deranged person and understand nothing.

You could not have been more obvious, though I disagree that you type "like a deranged person".

Bad sarcasm there, but yeah, I really am super obvious about it. That's why I'm not fighting with anyone here about anything. I welcome different perspectives, I just might not rp with you based on those perspectives so I feel we can both communicate effectively on a shared reality and wavelength. I honestly don't care too too much about anything but contracts are contracts because yknow, law.

While I find it risible to suggest serious people are treating things "like a job", I can tell from your reaction I reacted too strongly. I apologise. I simply wanted to point out that as wonderful as flexibility is, some people are just born rigid and have difficulty navigating the world when they have no certainties.

Anyway, there's no hard feelings from my side, and I hope there are none on yours either.
There’s no hard feelings at all. I’m very terrible at not wording things very strongly and text tone is hard to read so nbd. I merely wanted to say more or less that “x char treatment doesn’t equate no communication.” If people do commit to things I respect it but I do mention that I dislike hard commitment to a plotline in advance if people are in dms plotting with me, leaving out the obvious want ad. I never take up space someone else could have if I am unsure I can work it.

I tend to have a lot of energy for plots, ideas, threads, and such, but then that little voice in my head tells me to rein it in or sit on my hands. Sometimes I'm afraid I have too much gusto that it can be overwhelming for an rp partner, especially if I'm being speedy about replies or wanting to jump right into something because I'm super excited and muse filled. Or that voice starts trying to send doubts my way :')

Me: Let's goooo!!

I know this feeling! Sometimes I go crazy on ideas and accidentally spam people cause I am just really hyper about it. Lol

I honestly adore people like this tbh. I think it really fills me with joy to feel like my partners enjoy what we have cooking. More often than not I like to jump into things than wait.

Waiting is what gives me the anxiety LOL

hot take: do it anyway. be hyper. be excited. be speedy. be overwhelming. jump right in. i guarantee you 9 times out of 10 other people bounce off energy given, and enthusiasm without apology does wonders in lighting up the whole damn room. to those that do have a problem with it, also 9 times out of 10, it's rlly smth on Their(TM) side of things — personal unhappiness, inability to voice discomfort, jealousy, insecurity, wanting something else, whatever else. that's not something you're responsible for if they aren't telling you "hi would it be alright if we slow things down a bit, i get that you're excited but i'm still catching up". 

life is short, we do rp for a good time, so embrace that good time. don't tone yourself down for feeling "too much". it's enthusiasm like what you're voicing that makes the social aspect of rp leagues worth it. energy is infectious, and those vibes are the kind of vibes anyone would (ideally) like to have coming into a creative hobby.



coming soon.

Tbh, I'm super glad I found out about roleplaying. Collaborating with other writers to create memorable and fun plots is such a good feeling. <3


Gotta say, I am glad to hear! New role-players are a rare commodity, so it is great seeing some come into the fray. <3 I hope you keep enjoying it and have a lot of fun!

i really cherish the memories of all the rp partners / friends i've had in the past who i really clicked with. getting back into dragon ball after a while and just remembering old plots and ocs i shared with people really warms me up.

even though i don't talk to / rp with a lot of them anymore, i will always keep their characters close to my own. that goes for all the other fandoms and genres i've written in.

:")

Sometimes I have seriously considered adding an ‘Associated Triggers’ section to the applications of characters whose themes, histories, etc revolve around heavy topics. I just feel it may help communicate for people who need it if a character is worth interacting with or so we can work together to figure something out so they can avoid the trigger if the thread is considered a ‘need’ for plot development purposes.
