This conversation is interesting.

I've been "in" the clique and "out" of the clique, but here's the thing: they're unavoidable. We're humans and we gather with the like minded of our herd, sometimes not realizing this does us more harm than good. Digital tribalism at its finest. A community is only as good as the work put in by the villagers. It takes a village to make a site work, and some admins forget that they need new blood to keep the heart pumping; whilst members, used to one another, need a reminder that a leader's role is to lead. I would expect an admin/moderator/etc to exact fair dealings with their member base without being bias — does that happen, though? Not as often as we'd all like. Which ends up boiling down to conversations like these being had, rehashing certain talking points. We're all on the same page mostly. No one likes being treated like an outcast. Everyone has their favorite (s), too.

Though I've learned that not taking things too seriously is the key to keeping a level head about the RP community. Not everyone will like me (and for good reason, I was… not cool to be associated with once upon a time); not every site's community will embrace me into its thick of plots. I had long since realized the clan I used to rock with, follow along, join every site made and lovingly created… don't mesh. Sad at first, but we cope with harder things in our lives, lmao. I'll live and so will they. Make your own community. Live by the rules to seek to be followed. I think most RP sites should be privated or invite only nowadays. We are seeing a trend of people saying "I like xyz's site idea!" But it's a crapshot if they actually join it; lotta bark, no bite. It's great to show interest, but only walking that walk and talking that talk will get us back to those "golden days" where sites were flowing hot.

This got off track but I swear there's a message in there. It's 3am.

anything small town/modern times related but with a twist (superpowers, gods exist and work normal 9-5's, mafia/gang related shit, etc). I love fantasy but idk, I wanna make goofy meme references and have it actually make sense.

also game of thrones. I take back everything I said for a GoT site.

I kind of realized something very eerily similar to the above post a month back: I write / rp best when a depressive episode puts me into a hole so deep all I can manage to do for myself is the bare minimum (eat - barely - and go to work). It was such a visceral, ugly epiphany for me that something I once enjoyed had become the thing I fall back on when I am mentally unwell. I'm at my most creative when I am sad, when life isn't going so great, when all of my mistakes catch up to me - I write, and I write fucking good. And honestly? I don't like that when I do get out of this hole, clawing myself out of it and barely escaping the call of the void - I no longer feel the urge to write. I cannot rp. I literally recently just... went MIA from one site I was actually excited about because of this.

I hate that I can link all my distinctively awesome writing "arcs" to periods in my life where I was in shambles for some reason or another. But I think it was my way of coping with the fact everything was falling apart. I want to rp when I'm happy, too. But I just haven't gotten to that point. I wonder if I ever will.

sorry this is so long I meant to just say I can relate lmaooo

I like using characters as face claims are are usually side characters in their respective source material; they might have 100+ (i.e. Matou Sakura from Fate/, Rhea from Fire Emblem) pages of art or like… less than 10 pages of “quality” / usable art (i.e. Quanxi from Chainsaw Man, Ghislaine Dedoldia from Mushoku Tensei, Riza Hawkeye from Fullmetal Alchemist). I favor playing women, and if you know me from previous sites I like playing women with… erm, big assets.

Yeah I like big boobs, yeah I’m a coomer, what of it. :clueless:

But before my break I was leaning out of that. Nowadays I prefer buff or androgynous women. I also like playing male characters that are bald for some reason (I really want to use Rude from Final Fantasy as a face claim one day…) I also have a soft spot for buff male face claims. Toudou Aoi my beloved. Uzui Tengen please call me back. Halsin… save me…

This post gave me whiplash because why was Tenkai the last server that I had the most emotionally heartwrenching rp ever conceived by mortal man.

I need that back, man. Whew.

· My s/o met my family for the first time. I was very nervous but my dad and grandma love him and to this day ask how he’s doing constantly. This is the first time my parents have met anyone, so in a sense that is a personal milestone for me too. He’s a good man and I’m grateful for him.

· I got my first pet earlier this year! Her name is London Tipton and she’s obnoxious, but like any freeloading cat who pays no bills yet lies around the house doing absolutely nothing, she is loved and cherished. I had a minor freak out when I thought she got out of the house a few days ago (she’s 100% an indoors cat), but she ended up just being inside of my empty luggage under my bed? Nearly gave me a heart attack anyway.

· My partner and I celebrated our 1 years anniversary around the time he met my family. He’s laying next to me now, snoring up a storm like a hibernating bear. To say he makes me happy is an understatement.

· I distanced myself from rping. Realizing I was taking all of it (the drama, the nonsense, the absurdity of it all), I backed off from it—maybe for good. I come back here every now and again to see who’s still kicking, though. It was good for my mental state and I’m proud of myself for being self aware enough to know I needed to step back from what does not benefit me. I still like to write but I’ve found better avenues to express my creativity that don’t burn me out as fast. Every now and again I consider coming back to it, yet I feel as if I may have outgrown it at least.

· Falling back in love with reading has also been a pleasant surprise for me this year. My s/o bought me all of the Redwall series, which I haven’t read since I was in middle school. I think it was this book series that made me appreciate writing for the love of writing and began to write myself. The author has a way with words that is full of whimsy and hope that I’ve always wanted to emulate. I’ve been spending a lot of time reading, writing, painting/drawing and even got into volunteer work with animals. Indulging my interests have done great for me mentally and physically.

…But yeah, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone! Now I go back to playing BG3 (I’m romancing Gale this time after kissing Wyll for three consecutive playthroughs).
