I had a bit of debate about this. I initially was just going to delete it like I did the other messages, since it’s clear my mutuals only rule is getting ignored here. But I decided instead to try be a bit more helpful (this might just come across as rude so oops but oh well).
Personally, and I know some other RPers feel the same, I really dislike all variations of asks like this (I think we’ve all gotten “RP?” “Wanna RP?” etc asks before). I mean, yes I appreciate that someone wants to interact with me, but there are other ways to initiate it, ways that seem more thoughtful. This isn’t really about the issue of ignored rules, but rather how to approach people.
If there’s someone you want to RP with, sending an ask is good, but I suggest the ask has some sort of idea within it. And some sort of greeting too, otherwise it’s quite rude.
Think about your muse and the muse you want to interact with, come up with a few different plots/thread ideas or admit you don’t have an idea and ask if they have any ideas they would wish to RP with your muse.
Message them like, “Hey there! I really love your muse and portrayal and I would love to rp with you sometime.”
If you have an idea, add it on like, “I was thinking it would be cool to do a thread with our muses doing *insert idea* or *insert other idea*. If those don’t interest you or you have another idea, let me know.”
If you don’t have an idea, say something like, “I don’t have a thread idea yet, but if you have one, I’d love to hear it. Or we could look through some sentence starter memes and plot together.”
That’s how I see it anyway. And obviously before you send any sort of message to an RPer, you should read their rules.
