Devin Talks Roleplay

@devintalksrp / devintalksrp.tumblr.com

I've been role playing for eighteen years, and I think that makes me qualified to give an opinion on things related to role play. The opinions posted on this blog are entirely my own, and they aren't always nice. If you're looking for nice and friendly, check out my help blog.
This blog is mostly about my opinions on the role play community, my opinions on individual role plays, and my characters. In other words, this blog is mostly about me. My help blog is my warehouse for informative posts intended to be helpful to the community, and I feel most comfortable keeping them separate.
The avatar is Kirsten Dunst. I'm older than she is and I've been role playing since I was seventeen years old. Writing is a passion and it's an art, and I'm admittedly not as good at it as I once thought I was, but you're welcome to read my drabbles.
This is a separate account. I refollow everybody but sometimes unfollow if your content doesn't suit me!

Needing Some Support

This obviously isn't relevant to most of you, I'm sure, but I need to talk. This isn't roleplay related. I'm sorry.

For about five years, I've been writing on Hubpages (a site for writing informative articles for which you can be paid if you're over 18). For about the past nine months, I've been writing articles about pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding

This isn't relevant to most of you, especially considering that "older" role players are so rare, but it's important to me. These articles are how I make what little money I earn, to apply to the things I want and need (like a new computer, or the kitten I want to buy).

Recently, thanks to a request for advice that I made, I've been told that I should pack it in and delete my articles.

We all know how mean the roleplay community can be. This reminds me of those hate blogs.

I'm just needing some support. And if any of you want to read the articles and tell me if you feel that I'm offering too much "advice" on them, I'd appreciate that, since that seems to be the biggest complaint these people have about my articles: That I'm offering "advice" to minors about how to get pregnant, and that I'm not qualified to advise people on their health. 

I've spent the last two days crying, and I feel like a baby about this, but I'm angry and I'm frustrated and I'm so discouraged that it's hard to keep going on. Kind words would be so appreciated right now.

I re-pierced my nose today.

I also colored my hair and bought new clothes. I should have taken a picture.

I'm looking for RP partners!

Does anybody want to roleplay with Rhys or Dawn? They're the only two that I have ready. Most of the necessary information can be found here.

Once you get this you must say 5 nice things about yourself publicly and then send it to 10 of your favorite followers (not back to me, I did it already). Thinking good things about yourself is hard but it will make you feel better so give it a go, for the sake of spreading positivity.

Wow, this was a surprise! Thank you!

  • I have great hair. It's mostly because I know how to take care of it and I work hard to keep it great, but I do have great hair.
  • I pick up languages more easily than most people do, even if I'm still shy to share what I know.
  • I'm a good friend and (mostly) unconditional in my friendship. Even if a friend does something to hurt me, I stick by them.
  • I give excellent advice. A lot of this is because I've studied stuff that helps me to be good at counseling people, but I do give good advice.
  • I am good at coming up with unique character and plot ideas (most of the time), even if I have trouble implementing some of them.

Sending this out to ten more people right now! Thank you M!
