I haven't really roleplayed much since the start of the year. :/
And I haven't roleplayed as any of my other characters in years. <x/

The last DM RP I did was a loooong time ago, back on Gaia Online.
I think I was about 13 or 14 years old and my RP was an adult. At least 18 or 19 years old...
I remember it well because in our RP, our characters got married and shagged often...
Eventually my character got pregnant and we skipped the 9 month pregnancy and went straight to the birth of our characters' child...

And well... things got weird and creepy from there...
As you can imagine. :/

I've since stopped doing private RPs in DM.
I'll only do them in public forums. Even if they are private.

dude, you being 6ish years their junior was plenty creepy to start with x______x i cannot imagine it would go any other way

yeah though you could totally have rules and dice if you'd like x'''D

People often think I'm being a "party pooper" or a "kiss up" to the admins and mods because I strongly support no sexual RPing even in DMs...

It's not that at all! It's for my own safety and I feel the safety of other minors online that people should not be allowed to have sexual RPs even in DM.

Too many things can go wrong really quickly!

One person on another avatar forum I was a part of got pissy because they were like, "I'm fat and ugly IRL and sexual RPing is the closest I'll ever get to having a sexual relationship with someone else" and I basically chewed them out saying that they're better off just using Craigslist or something because sexual DMs are creepy and so much can go wrong!

@ Ava: >->; reminds me of when I used to RP with my ex-friend, and our characters used to "interact" and stuff. At first it was two character romances, but then those were totally dumped by her in favor of just her own character sleazing around with all of my male characters. And I mean ALL of them. Even some of my female characters. <n< Never had resulting children with any of them either. Or developed the relationships further.
>n> Pissed me the hell off when she got credit for the creation of one of my characters acting as her husband, and didn't acknowledge that the credit belonged to me. So as a result, he's all hers now. And all my other male characters she's had a hold of, I've since had to erase and re-write with her completely out of the picture. Which is great because now I can finally develop them the way I initially wanted to. :]
AND they have minds of their own, instead of instantly just agreeing to whatever she wanted. >n>
Glad I stopped my RPs with her before they got even more trying and disgusting..
Also won't RP anymore with private DMs as a result. :/

Maybe we should RP together? :} *shrug* Or not if you don't want to. ^-^; Either way, I don't mind.

shrugs somewhere in the distance because i have no idea what happened here.

@ Barker: <x} hehe, that's pretty much been me with the crystalline event now. *shrugs too*

the event is over. time to sell these tea lights.

:D Yaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy?? /:D *shrug*

i have duplicates of a bunch of items if you need some.

8} Noooo thanks. I think I have all the items I'll need hehe, more than I'll need!
<x} I sure hope Mr. Moon Man has room for them all. Might need to get rid of some. >~>;

if you say so. :0c

hrnghghghg i wanna donate more items to the item exchange but i also like getting things from the item exchange

Ohhh yeah! I've had some RPs like that before too :(
Like, some girls will RP with me but they'll "only play male charas" and thus, forcing me to force a romantic relationship with their characters. >:T

Thankfully, it's been better! I have found some really good RP partners! :D
Unfortunately, I've been struggling with IRL stuff, so I haven't gotten back into RPing properly like I want to. :(

But I would love to RP with you, Merskelly!
Hopefully soon, when all of the IRL stuff gets better, I'll be more free and more emotionally available to RP C:

Same here. <:]
Been kinda goin' through more off/on depressive struggle stuff, irl though.
<:/ Not sure if I'll be ready to RP until after the semester ends for me.
<x{ *le heavy sigh* I'm not even keeping up with the NaWriMoNo stuff! AAaahh! I have to write! And ow I have a headache. x-x;

depression tends to get worse in the winter.

i also write fanfiction whenever the rp server dies down.

i was silly and made a new character and two people have already shown an interest

:] Ah yes. The silly resulting in a new character birth phenomenon.
I'm silly 85% of the time, and sometimes I accidentally vomit out a new character outta nowhere. xD I gotta keep track of all of them because I will forget them if I just wrote down a name, but description/appearance I will recall.

i literally only keep to one or two muses. the current one is that triumphant version of wilson that i use sometimes.

I haven't written much fan fiction either! :c

I also tend to spill out some random characters sometimes when RPing!
But they're usually minor characters, sometimes they don't even get a name. :P
Most of the time they don't get a name, actually...

yeah, it kind of is.

i actually asked my rp partner who i write a romantic wilson / charlie relationship multiple times if it was okay (or, well, they asked gnghgkhjjsk). we're just friends. (we're also the same age.)

yeah, roleplays are like photo-sharing. it's important to stay in the same generation when exchanging outside of the intimate family pool to avoid very unsafe power unbalances. you /can/ do it of course but it's so prone to abuse that it's just not a great idea

also i am going to sound like a grandpa here for a moment but my own personal opinion is that the kind of internal voice someone has changes with age and experience so it's probably a good idea to stay closer to people with the same general 'voice' when writing x''D even if the style and themes vary wildly it is good to at least be able to understand one another

Honestly, I prefer my characters and their relationships to be platonic...
But if they eventually have feelings, I welcome them.

I find RPing to be like blind dates... Like, I don't just jump into them with the knowledge that they will lead to a long term, romantic relationship. Now, if the characters being in a relationship is a part of the plot, then that's cool.... but usually my characters are always platonic nowadays.

Also, I don't do any graphic sexual RPs anymore. If it's not okay for a public forum, it's not okay for DMs, IMHO.

I think that makes sense too. The whole life aspect thing. can make it difficult for characters to relate sometimes. But I find that I don't need to have every single life experience to write about it. But maybe my experiences are different, but the feelings behind them are usually universal.

Ohh! Yeah, that makes sense.

I try to avoid RPs with things like that where I'm not familiar. Otherwise I do loads of research before even posting. :D

I've yet to run into that issue, though...
I tend to pick "safe" plots. Mostly fantasy or lore-based things that are subject to change and can be customized.

There's some things I'm familiar with, but don't like RPing though, like things based on mental asylums or inpatient treatment for mental health and such...

Even sometimes I'm too passionate about my fandoms that I can get kinda nasty when the characters aren't played "correctly", you know?

;u;

I feel like a bad person sometimes lol

golly, it breaks my heart that playing with either of you isn't an option x''D you two understand me so well on that front

i actually really love doing crack rps specifically because of shenanigans and the suspension of disbelief.

do you do any non-wilson stuff?

(elevator music plays)

<U<; *coughs n' bleeds*
I like to do my research too, but sometimes I be an idiot and don't get some things right. :[ I tend to stick to fantasy as a result most of the time. <x} Though sometimes I forget about things I wrote before, and so I have to make sure I get the details correct. <:c I used to really get chewed out on that before.
But I usually keep all my characters very consistent. :] And hard to forget.
<x} Never done a fandom RP tho. I don't really trust those. >u>; and fandoms can get pretty rowdy sometimes..can't go wrong with playing my own characters. <:/

probably prefers to do it in private. can't quite blame them tbh.

yeah, but that can only store so much, which is a bit unfortunate, but given server costs these days...

that's valid.

yee. it's also pretty easy to get into.
