i am a shy roleplayer. messaging people first doesn’t come easy to me. i go to send someone a message and then my mind goes a million miles an hour; what if they don’t like my writing, what if they don’t even know who my muse is, what if they don’t like the fandom, what if they’re roleplaying with someone who roleplays the same muse, *rereads the rules 10000s times but still gets paranoid im brekaing a rule*, what if they aren’t following me, are the mutuals only, what if they don’t like the plot i have in mind. and basically it fills me with so much nervousness and fear i just back away and continue to watch from afar. this doesn’t mean i never message first, when i’m confident the person likes my writing style/blog i find approaching them a little bit easier. this isn’t anything personal or me trying to be superior in any way. i am shy, have low confidence, and am very unsure of myself and my writing. if i follow you and never message you, i’m sorry, i truly am. but i adore each and every one of you and love to see you all. if i had it my way i would speak and roleplay to all of you. i hope you all can understand and forgive my unhealthy way of thinking (✿◠‿◠)
YO PSA!!!
If you get a link like this from one of your tumblr buddies, DON’T OPEN IT!!! IT’S NOT THEM THAT SENT IT!!!! IT’LL FUCK UP YOUR TUMBLR AND SEND THE LINK TO OTHERS ON YOUR ACCOUNT.
EDIT: Shit! I might have to make a new account. This is screwing up my tumblr and one of my side blogs has been deleted.
Too bad I didnt see this sooner. If you get some random message from me guys, heres a thing.
Ughhhhhh this fucked up a blog I had been running for 5 years and I lost so many followers and i got locked out of my messenger, my ability to tag things, my whole theme/page setup, access to archives, everything. If you ever get a link like this from me or crying-for-the-moon (personal blog) DON’T CLICK IT. It sends a message to every mutual you have if you let the virus in. This link sent messages to hundreds and hundreds of people from my other blog and fucked up their blogs too. This shit is bad news.
I understand people are afraid. I understand people are mad. I understand people feel miserable and helpless right now. But there’s something that’s more evil and terrifying than President Trump. Something far more dangerous than a selfish and ignorant leader.
And that is despair.
I see a lot of people threatening to hurt or kill themselves on my dashboard. As someone who has survived multiple suicide attempts, I am legitimately concerned for the mental and emotional well being of my followers and mutuals. This level of hopelessness is not one I believe anyone should go through. At the same time, I’m a woman who knows my limits. I don’t have the emotional strength to help everyone on my own.
What I know for sure is that you shouldn’t kill yourselves for something so pointless. You can’t let fear control you because it’s exactly what people like Trump and his supporters want. You still have a chance to make a difference, but you have to keep living and fight for the right thing. If you die now, then everything you believed in would disappear in vain.
I can’t say my words will reach everyone, and I understand that. But if people want some comfort, I’m willing to try and break down some barriers tonight. I’m heavily considering hosting a livestream where people who are feeling under the weather can reach out to each other and talk while watching a show. At the very least there would be comfort in a bit of humor and community. Plus, with all the media coverage, I think we need a break.
Here’s some ideas I’m considering in terms of entertainment. If anyone wants to add to the list, feel free to do so.
1.) Reruns of the 80s Legend of Zelda cartoon
2.) A Christmas Tree (a horrifically animated Christmas special my friends and I laugh at)
3.) The Legend of Niel
4.) Bobobo-Bo-Bobobo
5.) The Princess Bride
I’ll host this if enough people are interested in taking a break. I’ll have to establish a lot of rules since this is touchy and finish homework early, but please comment if you want to have a livestream break or not.
Please don’t die. I’ve been there and I’ve seen what happens when a family loses a loved one. Don’t let fear ruin you like this.
I am probably one of the worst rp partners in the history of the activity. – I drop threads. – I lose threads. – I take my threads in odd directions that should probably never be explored. – I go through phases where I’ll only respond to two or three of my partners. – I go through phases where I’ll only respond to a single thread, and you’re left wondering why I’m not responding to you.
Sometimes I can be a really great partner – – I might be really on top of replies. – I might have everything in my ask box answered. – I might be perfectly in synch with where you’re trying to take the thread.
Sometimes I’m not.
But the great thing is that it’s okay! – When I drop a thread you like just tell me! Chances are it’s in drafts or I’ve lost it. – Even if we try a dozen different things and nothing sticks, don’t be afraid to start a new thread with me or come to me with an idea. – Sometimes I’ll be overwhelmed by everything I have going on, and I’ll have to put you on the list of rp’s to start. – Sometimes I’ll jump right on the thread and then drop it after a few days. – Sometimes we’ll carry the thread out all the way to the end, and have a grand old time getting there.
But please, remember that each of my rp partner is valuable to me. – Even the ones my muse doesn’t like. – Even the ones I’ve only done a thread or two with. – Even the ones I used to rp with and don’t any more.
Knock yourself out, there’s plenty to choose from.
I actually find this information REALLY HELPFUL when I visit someone else’s gallery and like their OCs. Not everyone is comfortable with fanart and few artists post whether or not they are.
Fan art, fan fic, whatever you want, I want to see it.
