Okay!! So, I think I’ve done about as much as I can on the new blog without burning myself out today aka I’ve set up a rather massive queue of inspo posts from various character tags and it’s currently at 200+ so yeah. I’ll keep filling it though as I haven’t even touched any of my relationship tags :’) Not gonna reblog all (I would if I could but wow no) but I’ll do what I can + get into some other casual tags I backtrack a lot on this blog. 

The new blog is over here: @accumulatemagic (ill come up with a better url one day…. maybe) and I’ve already followed a few peeps to get me started. There’s still a queue running on this blog btw, about 33 posts so you’re welcome to stick around until it’s done or unfollow right away <3 I’ll most likely reblog that stuff over to my new one anyway. 

If I don’t see you over at my new blog, thank you for following me and interacting with me at some point, if you did! This blog has served me well for 4-something years and I’ll miss it dearly.

So I’ve seen almost no social media promotion for it, but someone created a website where people can list/find aromantic friendly professionals like therapists and doctors. It’s a little sparse at the moment, but almost all of the information is crowdsourced, so if people know of aro-friendly professionals I encourage you to submit a recommendation! The more people add to this, the better it will be as a community resource!

hi neen :) how are you today? I was just wondering if you had any tips or advice on running a rpg? I'm interested in adminning but don't really know where to start? thank you nonetheless!!

First, ask yourself if it’s really worth it. I don’t mean that in a condescending way, either. Being an admin is genuinely hard and like... I would go as far as to say there are more downfalls than rewards. This is going to be a mess of things I’ve learned & this is just how I make it work, but it doesn’t work for everyone.
  1. My first advice is if you’re doing your own graphics and theme and already Know what you’re doing in terms of plot, to start with graphics & theme first. That stuff is the most frustrating because writing you can bang out when inspo strikes but there’s nothing worse than having everything done but every graphic attempt you make isn’t working out.
  2. Double up your graphics. If a theme requires 200x200, go 400x400. If you’re making promos, 540px should be 1080px.
  3. Lead by example! Play diverse muses & people will follow suit. 
  4. Ask people to look over your page! I make this mistake often as I use two computers that have 4k/retina & then my theme looks shit on other monitors. 
  5. Take accessibility seriously!!!!! Take anons & opinions into account!!!!!! Listen to people offering feedback!!!!!
  6. Have a starter blog to reblog starters. They will disappear from the tag, I’m afraid. 
  7. Don’t try to finish it in one night, you’ll get burnt out. 
  8. People are annoying with their “DoN’T PoSt PerSonAl AneCdoTes On YouR PromO pOstS” because like???? I love a good joke in the tags???? I love to read about your life & nonsense??? Avoiding negativity is good, but fuck, I don’t want to join a roleplay run by a robot!
  9. Having a TL;DR blurb for your plot is a good idea and I’m not saying this because people are lazy, but because someone casually browsing the tags is more likely to forgo reading a massive plot without a hook. 
  10. Activity 4/5 has always been best for my groups but 5/6 and 6/7 are also known to work.
  11. Some people are going to have bad experiences in your rp. If your one, two or three people trying to run a group of 20+ other adults, you can’t control everything. People might blame you. Move on. Ignore it. Do better if you were at fault, but don’t let it get you down. 
  12. Start promo on a Wednesday or Thursday. Everyone opens rps on weekends and honestly, I find it’s when much of the RPC is most busy, so I never really understood that. 
  13. Taking time on your rule page benefits you more than anything. Trust me, when you run into trouble, it’s so satisfying to say “It’s literally in the rules”. 
  14. You can turn away an applicant. You can delete an app if you want to. Literally, nothing’s real. This rp is for you and it’s okay to be a little selfish sometimes.
  15. The way that Twitter and Tumblr rpc functions are very different and it’d be good to really be familiar with your platform before opening a roleplay. It’s also a good idea to be familiar with your subgenre too!!! (i.e. appless rp, full app rp, horror rp, college rp, etc...)
  16. The temptation might be there to steal borrow ideas from other roleplays. Don’t do it. Just don’t. The fastest way to not be taken seriously. 
  17. Forgo Discord chats unless you really enjoy them yourself!!!! Don’t feel like you have to have one. The RPC survived a long ass time with OOC tags. 
  18. Mobile navigations are important. 
  19. RPC opinions and reviews are almost always useless and might even harm you. Shoutouts are your friend. Trust me, some people will give you unwarranted opinions anyway JNGSNDKGD. 
  20. Do not avoid promo blogs!!!! They give me 90% of my traffic on my rps. 
  21. Have most wanted lists ready for when those anons come. They’re always the first. Prioritize diverse suggestions. 
  22. The ‘no banned list use your common sense’ route might be tempting but 9/10 times having a banned list actually saves you HEAPS of trouble. But stay consistent with it.
  23. I can’t think of anything else atm but if you have more questions, I’m available! & remember that if it isn’t fun for you, there is no reason to feel like you have to keep a roleplay going. Never run yourself into the ground.

Hello!! Dude I am so so so sorry for this delayed response;; 

TUTORIAL: REMOVING PANNING FROM A GIF

  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Notes:
  • You MUST have the Timeline Option in photoshop (if you do not have Photoshop Extended or Portable, then you will not be able to do this I’m sorry;;)
  • You should have prior knowledge about photoshop and have a general understanding of how the timeline option works
  • You should know how to make gifs prior!

This tutorial will show you how to go from this:

General PSA: I’m totally fine with starting over! If we tried to write together once before and the thread fell flat or got dropped, I’m game to try again. Not all first interactions are going to be golden, and sometimes it takes a few tries for us to understand how our characters might merge together in writing. I’m still interested in roleplaying with you, so feel free to send asks / like my starter calls / hit me up in the DMs!
