The longer it stays in my head, the more I want to make a combined Bayonetta x Devil May Cry site. I'd be 50% of the way there if I just knew how to transfer my random coding scribbles to an actual jcink forum.

i understand what it’s like having a problematic fav when one of mine is a lusty conniving biblical character reimagined as a twink with a harp and aninterest in investment

Surgery is a week away and I was nervous at first but now I'm just feeling numb. It's hard to explain.

I think whether apps are important is up for debate, which frankly is partially what is happening here. 

I don't even get why people are prescribing how you have to do certain things or behave in certain ways in order to be a roleplayer. I totally get this is a hobby that involves writing and reading, but by the same token, that's not how you use a semi-colon, and why are others who complain about how you should do x or y not using proper capitals to signify the start of sentences, given that writing in all-lower case hampers the readability of your posts? If the writing and reading part of roleplay is so incredibly important that everyone must read apps, then why don't all people follow proper writing conventions and format their posts correctly?

And this isn't aimed at you but in general:

It's incredibly easy to complain about people not doing things the way you want them to happen. But just because you think that's the way to roleplay doesn't mean that it is the only way to roleplay.



This thread, as I have said every post, is utter shit. It's designed to shit on people for not approaching this hobby the same way you do, and pretends to have some high ground over being an authority on what constitutes proper roleplay. Lots of people talk about roleplaying as an escape from things, and many more consider creative ventures to be something not constrained by rules.

So why do we need to have unwritten rules about what constitutes a "proper roleplayer", and why are we making threads designed specifically to shit on people for not following your unwritten rule?

Is the intention to drive people away from roleplay because they're not proper enough? 


EDIT:
And yes, I know I am being combative here, but I absolutely do not agree we should be telling others how to approach this hobby. If you do not want to roleplay with them, for whatever reason, then that's fine. All up to you. But while Sharp is willing to defend their decision, it's well worth to remember there's also people who will read this and feel called out or treated with hostility. Building a community shouldn't be about punching down, it should be about lifting up.

i think it’s valid to think an app is too poorly written to be a valuable document and that’s on the writer. but if you don’t want to read then why are you in a writing hobby lmaoooo not trying to be a hater this is just a headscratcher for me

edit: actually nvm i will be a hater

thinking about it we gotta bring actual biographies back y’all. if someone aesthetics dumps in the app then i’m still going to skim it but i’m going to be grumpy the entire time. this is a game sheet for your peers!!! please make it usable!!!!! if i wrote a wall of poetry about how sad my character is and i don’t know whats going on then i forgive people for not reading it 🙏🏼
