This is part of the reason my partner retired from dming.
That and when cell phones started becoming a big thing and all the members (sans me bc I didn’t have one yet) would just play on their phones and not pay attention to the story or quest.
wtf i refuse to believe this is normal. That is a whole other level of rude. Like idk. I dont even go on my phone while talking to someone outside my famkly (it is legal to be rdue to my family.) it doesnt seem like the phone ks the problem, but the people :x



I don’t think it is. My first group was amazing and would never have done that. But these people would pull out their phones when it wasn’t their turn in a battle and not to check their spells (I have the deck for my wizard tbh bc I don’t bring my phone to games).

It is heartbreaking to put the work in and have people like that in the group.

I’d love a new group.

Yes! Not knocking hoyo since I use them too but I really enjoy seeing faces from outside the box. And I love love original art so much. I wish I had the money to properly commission some characters too! Some day!

It might be a long shot since you might have already looked at us but: xsparksx.jcink.net/index.php?act=idx

We do allow and love original artwork.
We love partners that come with their own friends (I enjoy just reading other threads when I have a chance!)
It’s not supposed to be slice of life even if some of the threads so far have been that way. I’d love to have more writers that want to explore the meat of the premise!
I myself have been slower (rl bs) but have plans to get some plotters and requests up soon but we also have a good group of active writers too!

Anyway we would love to have you but good luck regardless! ♥️

king of the hill
words cannot describe how much i love king of the hill. is this your first time watching it? who is your favorite character? for years, my best friend and i in each other's phones were nancy hicks-gribble and john redcorn LMAO


my friends and i have like, a whole list of shows we're watching together, and just pick based on our mood. tv has honestly become enjoyable for me again, watching it with other people, bc i am that pos who talks when watching stuff.

- supernatural
- criminal minds
- star trek (og)
- ink master



It’s not. I watch it pretty regularly!
My favorite character is Dale.
And I love telling ppl it’s my favorite anime. It ticks off certain ppl but the right ones get it.

me: haha at this point I'm gonna hit 70 tonight!
me: /checks my character
me: partner? I don't know when but I'm already 70

I think we ran through the last 2-3 dungeons and I had already hit max level haha!

Why run multiple sites, when you can just run one site with multiple themes?



For me I am working on a second site bc I want to do one with rl faces, I don’t like mixing face types. They are also different genres, one is modern the other is not. Plus my friend is head admin. ;)

I just don’t see the faces as a problem. If somebody asked me to share (and I have offered for example to let somebody play the younger version of a face I use) then no issue whatsoever.

It’s the sheer number of characters made vs how many are actually written. I just am baffled by how many people need to make 13 right NOW but then when you give their accounts a Quick Look, they are only writing actively with one.

Now I don’t expect anybody even with 2 characters to always have muse, time, or plots for every character, ALL the time. So don’t get me wrong. I absolutely make room for life and breaks.

But it’s baffling to make all your free characters AT ONCE. With no intended plots and no seeming intention to write as them any time soon?

If the only reason for this is “I wanted to make sure I got x face” then I’m believing I might end up making a no claims site next time.

"Well I want people to put in what they're taking out of my time to review their 56th cat boy" sounds more appropriate.
at the end of the day this is mostly the only reason.

like no offense, staff members are not here for your convenience and I don't really care to spend a bunch of time out of my day doing something for someone who has no respect for my time. i pay for the site, not the other way around, and i don't think it's nannying to put in my rules that you should post with your already accepted characters before asking me to review more.

my next site will also have "canon slots" and while it's technically OCs, it's personified public domain characters and I'm only allowing one interpretation per character. It does not feel fair to allow one person to take 20 different canon roles if they don't even post all that often. It's nothing personal, but it's more out of courtesy to everyone else and to give new members a chance.

if you post often enough, you won't even feel the restrictions anyway.



Yea this is where I am at now. We started with 10 free characters of all kinds and a shop purchase for anything after that. I thought the purchase would be like the “activity” but we gave a lot of generous rewards so it was pretty easy to just keep churning out character after character.

I do not care about face claim “hoarding” or dopamine rush. I want people to be able to do what they want.

But when it comes to me, I was a single admin working on apps alone. And I would be absolutely flooded with characters. I felt I had to get through those before I could even do anything fun for myself on the site. So I enlisted help but then that became a problem (long story won’t get into it).

At the end of the day though if you have 13 characters and only 1 had any posts and we even define comm as activity the problem is not with me. I have many activities for people to do like bingos and missions and prompts. I can only do so much as a person.

I also have a lot going irl. A lot. Let’s just say my mental health is tanking. edited for some personal things, sorry.
