Let me explain you a thing; possessiveness is not a nice trait and when faced with OOC asks, don’t answer them publicly. Now let me tell you a story involving me, my partner (K), and my other partner (T).

First things first, we all have independent roleplay blogs that are multi-verse and multi-ship. It means that none of our threads collide. We’re also all part of the same fandom and play canon characters.

Now T’s character is “madly in love” with K’s character and they’ve been roleplaying for quite a while. Then I come along with my character and begin to interact with K. Our muses hit it off splendidly and we decide to get a thread going which is all fine and dandy. The thread is mainly implied past angst that caused them to go their separate ways (but ultimately they’ll realise their feelings and reconcile).

T posts a public ooc message saying that because of my thread with K, her muse is being all depressed so she can’t reply. This made us both kind of uncomfortable but we brushed it off. But it happened a second time, but now it was that she was “too miserable” and “have lost all will” to make her muse work.

Of course I messaged T ooc about it and asked why she was miserable. Her public reply was that the drabbles K and I had written (along with our thread) made her feel like a bad person and that her character should just give up and let our characters be happy. Our plots are completely separate; there is no overlap anywhere. I tell this to her and she just says “I can’t help it *shrug*” and proceeds to say that it’s just really weird to think of K’s character together with mine.

By now I’m feeling extremely irritated about this immature nonsense and decide to talk to K about it. Not only does T whine about our thread, she completely guilt trips K about interacting with me at all as well as getting extremely pissy about the fact that we haven’t mentioned T’s character in our thread.

News flash, babe: it’s not all about you.

K and I have decided to continue on and ignore her passive aggressive attempts to make us drop the thread but this is far from over… perhaps there’ll be a part two to this.

Eyes are eyes. There is absolutely nothing wrong with writing “His violet eyes widened in shock”. Using ‘hues’ and ‘orbs’ doesn’t make your writing look any prettier; if anything it throws the reader off.

Look, it’s OK to not like my character. Really, I understand. I also understand not wanting to play your character with mine. Quite frankly, I find your character obnoxious and cloying and I don’t want to rp with her either. But you know what I don’t do? I don’t publicize my distaste. I don’t go WOW I HOPE I NEVER ICC WITH -character name here- AGAIN LOL NO OFFENSE. I don’t go OH YAY AN OPEN THREAD! OH NO ITS -character name here- >__> because there’s something called being polite. I’d understand if I tried to get you to play with my character, but I don’t. I don’t ask you to icc, I don’t ask you to thread. I want nothing to do with your character. So shut your stupid face.

So this character claims she has never attended school or received any kind of education.. Yet she is capable of reading, writing poetry and pretty much as more knowledge than any college student.   This is really absurd, considering the universe this character belongs to has schools.  Unless your character is part of a “chosen one plot in which she can send education to hell cause she was born with the ability to read any language.”  You’re just being ridiculous and a mary sue.

Bonus points if it’s the male character who mentions this.

Insanity isn’t a mood, it’s a mental disorder you stupid insensitive pricks.

I recently stopped rping with someone, let’s call her Jane, who had a knack for taking a canon character from our fandom and making AU’s for them. Alternate Universe characters are fine, and when done well they can really provide a wonderful exploration of canon and provide a chance to rp with people outside your fandom, if you’re normally uncomfortable with that. 

But Jane made her AU’s SO alternate that they ended up being just bare bone parodies of the original characters. It was to the point where just about everyone in the group noticed that her character was so far from canon as to be almost completely unrecognizable, and when anybody tried to bring this up to her, Jane would plead loudly that it was an AU and she could do what she wanted, and didn’t care. 

This eventually led to people drifting away from her, including me. I love AU’s and OC’s, but when there’s no distinction between the two it’s almost like a smack in the face to the character you’re attempting to play. 

Based on the previous meme. When characters speak another language in the rp ..and the translation is not included, this is really annoying because it means you have to find a way to translate whatever the character is saying just to know whats going on. Even if the people involved know whats being said on or share the same language it’s still rude for the rest, especially if youre in a chatroom with other people.  If you only want a selected group of people to find out whats going on with your character to the point of not adding the translation for everybody else.. Then maybe you should reconsider rping in private next time.”
