WHAT LOW ACTIVITY & SLOW REPLY MEANS:
- it means i want to be here, i really doĀ
- it means that i have, whether i like it or not, more important things to do than roleplay at the moment
- it means that replies are going to sit for a moment
WHAT IT DOESNāT MEAN:
- that i care any less
- that i donāt want to talk / plot with you
- that you arenāt allowed to IM me or ask for my disco
Sometimes Tumblr has to take a back burner, and thatās fine! Roleplay will still be here when we get back. So take that day to yourself. Donāt worry about drafts. Donāt worry about howĀ āslowā you are being. Everything is okay!

OC STRUGGLES IN THE RPC
honestly writing an OC in this community is another set of issues.
- the soul crushing feeling when you seeĀ āno OCsā in someones rules
- constantly having to dumb down your canon
- adjusting to adapted canons
- the amount of your own canon and lore you have to sacrifice to do that
- when you mention wanting to write a canon, people that have never shown any real interest in your OC jump out of the woodwork to encourage you to do it
- when you do it, and that canon gets more attention than your OC ever did
- the alternative of that: when your first character was canon and you transition to writing an OC, people suddenlyĀ disappear
- fandom OCs that outgrow their fandoms and muns that feel they have nowhere to put them
- endlessly worrying if your character is too sue-ish, even after x-amount of years
- TRIPLE THAT IF YOUāRE PLAYING A FEMALE OC
- oh my god female OCs need their own post
- female OCs constantly being underestimated and dismissed; being held to a different set of standards than other OCs
- honestly i know people that are straight up afraid to write a female OC for these reasons. theyāre discouraged before they even start because they know they will never get the same acknowledgement
- people assuming simple, stupid things about your muse (can we all agree to stop guessing whose muse is taller and just lookĀ from now on?)
- feeling like you have to jump through hoops to keep up with everyone else and keep your character fresh and interesting so people donāt lose interest
- canon blogs that shit on OCs
āyou realize you were OCs too right? what would the original writer of your canon think? - no seriously, it can be so discouraging writing an OC. how many ideas are you killing by snubbing OCs? the future of creative media is in our hands!
- has someone stolen my canon?
- is my canon too similar to someone elseās?
- do they think iĀ stole theirĀ canon?
- and what do you do when somebody doesĀ steal your canon? it can be so hard to prove and itās so easy for it to be dismissed
- having your OC written off because of the face claim choiceā that face is constantly typecast, nobody can take it seriously, theyāve been overplayed and ruined. (we love you, nina dobrev and 1D OCs, youāre doing gods work)
honestly, iām sure i could keep going. if you ask your local OC muns, theyāll be able to tack a few of their own struggles onto this list. hell, i encourage you to!

- Continuity errors (especially for long-running threads)
- Whether your RP blog is a sideblog
- Your RP blogās aesthetic

- The chance to make friends with you
- Entertaining and challenging ourselves as writers
- Our thread(s) contributing to the development of our muses
- Having fun
- Looking forward to seeing where our story will take our muses
- Growing as a writer with you
- Having fun
