he asks questions.

kasumi presses her lips shut and does not answer.

( she does not wish to be seen; kasumi avoids the look of mirrors nowadays. )

( too much is there to be hated. )

i swear, i have become the lady doing math meme at seeing sites perform the trifecta of putting their apps in profiles, putting their auto-update claims in a sortable member list, and then hiding both from guest-view


but wait why hide them from guest view

I'm actually quite curious there, if you'll indulge me. Can you articulate what's uncomfortable about it for you? I don't think there's anything wrong with people writing younger characters--after all, many books featuring young characters are written by adults. So on this case, I have some trouble understanding why it's an issue or concern.

I like writing teenage characters, as I enjoy the more emotional volatility that comes with being young, and I enjoy the bildungsroman genre, so most of the stories I want to tell are like that too.

All the sites denying me that have always made me wonder if I'm unwittingly running afoul of some understanding shared by others but sadly not me.

I'd be happy to learn why this is a concern in the roleplay community.
Again, I'm only speaking for myself, not the RPC. And as someone who actively works with children 5+ hours a day and has experienced so many things good and not so good, I like to separate my online hobby of RP from real life and the many experiences I've had now regarding school-aged children. Not saying all people would make things a little questionable for "plot purposes," but when children are involved, and I have had to sit through 10+ hours of training regarding their safety, I don't jive with seeing them being written as characters for RP.

Also, again, I separate novels from RP just as I separate Pokemon as a video game versus RP. Yes, books have children as characters, but it is a final product that has gone through many, many levels of editing and rewrites. It is not a back-and-forth where there can be some questionable scenarios, and the character is only 12.

I'm not sure if any of that makes sense, but as a teacher, I have my own personal limits, and that is why you won't see me on sites with the school as the setting (this goes for specific franchises, too [Harry Potter, etc.]). Just my own personal take. Everyone's going to be different. :)


very late to the discussion but as yet another person working within the education sector i have to third, fourth, fifth idk at this point this pov. i don't necessarily have bad faith that people aren't going to be weird with writing children or necessarily have an issue with them being written, but i personally will steer clear of doing it and most likely will steer clear of sites that allow it. it's more a case of separating irl to RP as well as the safeguarding issues ー and unfortunately, i've had to hear about far too many cases of both ALTs and full time teachers + inappropriate scenarios regarding students as it is. i just don't jive with it now at 27 as i might have done writing a 14 year old or something when i was 14 in the rpc. it's as much a personal limit as it may be other reasons for others

ZETTAI ZETSUMEI - A FEUDAL JAPAN-INSPIRED FANTASY RP

shinjima is enveloped in a freak snowstorm, and the entire land is buried in several metres of snow far beyond what it's used to in history. the leaders of the various territories will mobilise to help their own populace, as well as their allied territories where applicable. trade routes are temporarily closed off due to the perils of the roads, with the mountain range that cuts off the eastern territories being nigh impossible to traverse. some are caught in the wilds, unable to find their directions. days pass. the snow shows no sign of melting. some are pointing fingers at the divine, others are coming up with crack conspiracy theories - who knows what's responsible for the sudden disaster, far beyond what shinjima has ever known?

and some may well be ready to take advantage of the chaos, if they thought they had the power to.

EVENT 001: SNOWSTORM.
