i’m finally watching the gray man, and to anybody who gifs this movie, you have my absolute condolences because the colouring of these scenes are NOT friendly. it’s blue, it’s orange, it’s purple, it’s red. it’s dark, it’s light, it’s somewhere inbetween but it’s never really right.
Hi ! Did you saw the new tumblr f**k up where it puts 'alt' on all of the gifs on a post? The way it just bugs roleplaying that way... i'm speechless.
I haven’t seen it in action, but I have seen people talking about it on my dash. I don’t think GIFs are entirely required for roleplaying, but they can and do help with visualising muse interactions. I mean, I’m using them now here because it brings attention to a post + makes it more noticable in the tags, to drive traffic towards my blog. Tumblr has tried to do the right thing here, and offer an alternative for those who are visually impaired. But, just like the deletion of blogs who ‘spam’ (i.e. promotional blogs) and the issues with javascript, Tumblr’s not the friendliest of places for roleplayers and the community anymore. Hopefully this will change so that image descriptions can be submitted by users themselves for the GIFs they specifically use, and so that people can opt to remove the [alt] on their specific dashboard if they do not need that adjustment.
hi there! sorry to bother you, do you have any name ideas for a podcast? my character and a good friend of hers will be running in it the rp we are part of and we are stumped on names, any ideas? the podcast will pretty much talk about everything and anything, thank you so much!
You are not at all a bother! I’ve been heavy into the podcast game lately, and I’m super happy to help. - The [NAME] and [NAME] Podcast. This is a pretty basic one. Inspired by Vittorio Angelone’s podcast which is literally just called Vittorio’s Podcast. (or just NAME & NAME) - Sun, Sex and Sacrilege. This works best if neither characters are particularly religious, and if they live somewhere warm & without committed relationships. Inspired by the Ramsey’s Shagged, Married, Annoyed podcast, which is a play on Snog, Marry, Avoid. (There was a TV show called Sun, Sex and Suspicious Parents in the UK. Good days.) - This Ain’t A Scene, It’s A Podcast. Inspired by FOB, obviously. - Conversational Midnights. Everybody knows the best conversations happen after dark. - The Bitches That Came To Tea. Ripped from the iconic The Tiger That Came To Tea. You can describe yourselves as something other than bitches, but I personally think it works. - Knocking on Wood. Pretty self-explanatory, it’s just a cool saying. - Learning From Failure. We learn from failure, not from success is a line from Stoker’s Dracula that I think could be a great title!
I hope one of these work for you, or at least inspire you! I’m sorry I couldn’t give you more recommendations.
you...got upset and made a psa about somebody messaging you to plot? that's some karen shit but ok
myself + multiple members including admins: were being harassed and gaslit. y'all: she just wanted to plot youre a karen
oh and btw, i know this is either liv or leah. y'all can't and won't harass me and make me out to be the bad guy. i'll also just leave you with this lovely little link from admin shade where she further expands on what a terrible person liv was in seance and how her behaviour has been truly gross.
This is so ridiculous, I can’t even believe I’m writing it. Everyone please be aware of Liv/Olivia (@/vexinspo & @/vexwrote & liv#7729) when interacting with one-on-one or in a group setting.(Please note that this is only my direct story with Liv. I know for a fact there were multiple other issues, but I won’t speak on someone else’s behalf.)
When I joined Seance in March, I was immediately welcomed with open arms. However, shortly after opening, Liv began to incessantly message me. At the time, I was having some personal difficulties, and expressed in the main chat that this was the case - I would be in the gc, but not in DMs. Eventually, I believe Liv wracked up somewhere north of 10+ messages over the course of two weeks, each one effectively being like “hi, hello” or “do you want to plot?” or some other variation. (Remember - this is after I had said I would not be replying to DMs publicly, which Liv had seen.)
And then came the deletion. Liv began to delete messages that they had sent me privately so that all is currently left is a small handful of seemingly innocuous messages (that are date stamped five days apart). I would see the push notifications on my phone, and then 2-3 hours later they would be gone. Eventually, I spoke to the admins about it, where they dealt with the issue as best expected. Honestly I thought I was being paranoid, and that Liv was being friendly and I was just being awkward. However, I was/am not the only person that Liv has done that exact same thing to. Liv also then proceeded to @ me publicly in the group chat, after being asked by the admins to stay away from me, and received a timeout for that.
After that, I sent Liv a message asking why she was so obsessed with me, and compared them to Joe Goldberg. I received no response. Through the admins, I received a half-assed response/apology from Liv that was effectively “I messaged Luna so much because I was anxious about what happened with [redacted] before, and I wanted to be welcoming.”
Eventually, Liv left the group. And now, seven weeks on from the final message that I sent Liv, she has decided to pop back up and begin to follow me here. Liv gaslit me, violated my boundaries and is now continuing to do so on a blog that I did not even know existed, with a blog that she had no right to discover. Liv is also known to use VPNs, so an IP block may not work.
Liv has made me uncomfortable, my friends uncomfortable, and members of this community that I adore uncomfortable. This is not a way to send hate towards Liv, but I wanted people to know that someone like that is out there and she will make you wildly uncomfortable and almost ruin a group if you give her the chance.
i got my septum pierced and had a tarot reading done, which basically told me to drop out of university + that my dad is haunting me still. how are we all? how are our friday feelings?
To the anon in my ask, and to any future anons: I appreciate any and all support on my post. I always do, on anything I post. But I won’t be commenting or posting any of them. I don’t want to create a hate thing against the anon that sent me anything about the “novel” or anybody who disagrees with me. I don’t want my blog to be a source of drama or to instigate anything. That’s exactly what my post was about. I am not defending, nor attempting to offend, anybody. I simply just want this place to be as escapist as we can make it, while still existing within the realms of what is/isn’t acceptable or offensive.
I posted that previous anon because it made me laugh with it’s Lea Michele insult. But I don’t believe that dog piling on drama (for lack of a better term) is a good or helpful way to eradicate the aforementioned drama. I don’t want my blog to become a discourse blog. Be mindful of one another, and know what is or isn’t serving/bettering you.
novel? it’s a few paragraphs and it’s not that long. anon is secretly lea michele
My whole post is about being anti-drama so I really didn’t want to engage with this but the dig at Lea Michele was so funny, I couldn’t not. And then I started thinking about Lea Michele reading my blog and it just really fucking sent me, the idea that she’s reading the blog of some daft 22-year-old who is constantly on the edge of breaking down. Oh, I’ve had a giggle tonight. Quality that.
Who asked you stfuuu nobody’s reading your novel in the tags dumb ass
right i am a little bit bevved, which also makes me just about brave enough to say it. will you lot fucking knock it off with the drama? right, i’m not being funny, but it feels like the past 2-3 weeks of the roleplay community have been nothing but toxic drama. we all come here to have a laugh, to escape the amount of shite that is the real world and generally just have ourselves a good time. and instead it’s one call out post after another. it’s one complaint after another. it’s one more act of policing on top of another act of policing. and i’m not directing this at any one individual, one roleplay, one community. but just in general. like... are y’all not tired? are y’all not sick of logging on and having five to six anons trying to gossip and cause shite?
if you’ve got a problem with someone, message them. if you’ve deemed an incident important enough, then bring it up and vocalise it, but control the narrative. so many times i’ve seen shit end in discourse utterly unrelated to the original fact. also give people some fucking grace. we’re not all plugged in all the time. half of the people i reblog gif packs of nowadays, i don’t recognise. i couldn’t tell you any “favourite” fcs in the roleplay scene, or favourite roleplay themes. we don’t all know who is okay or not anymore. we’re expected to, but we shouldn’t be. we all just come on here and write in an effort to escape. you don’t get in this game if everything’s alright at home. and yes there are some toxic and shitty people out there. and yes we should be aware of it and make others aware of it too. but we’re literally turning on each other, and for what? we’re taking sides and becoming divided, for what? for some words on a screen? it’s not worth it. i promise you, it’s not worth it.
and this is not an excuse of the bad and terrible things that people do. but look at something, and ask yourself if this is worth your time. if this is worth your afternoon. it’s so easy to become entrenched in the drama, but it’ll be a hinderance in the end.
While I watch the draft and drink my silly little big girl juice, lets chat! What’s going on with y’all? What rps are you in? What rps do you want to see? What rpc trends are you tired of? What rpc trends do you love? Controversial opinion? Popular opinion? Lets go, lets talk, lets engage hun.
@thelastgleerp is really trying to bring down the glee rpc despite the efforts of most other glee rpers who have been trying to better the tiny community that we are. they're already allowing lea michele to be used and I think it's safe to say they'd allow blake jenner as well considering they think if you change the fc of a canon character "it's no longer that character" 🙄😐
I really, really thought you were joking at first cause it was so astounding absurd to me. I’m not going to get into straight up just slewing glee rps, but like... you can’t be allowing people like Lea Michele in your roleplay when so many people - glee cast members included - have spoken out about her being a piece of shit. Regarding the Blake Jenner thing; I don’t think that they’re allowing Blake, but how you would be in the glee community and not know about the abuse seems wild to me. Anyway, this roleplay made my whole head hurt. I’m all for bringing this to everyone’s attention, cause it is relevant, but I wouldn’t expect them to last past the end of May (and that’s me being really generous.) Birds of a feather flock together and that, so I think whether the rpc shuns them or not, they’re going to be gone and have a new roleplay by the end of the season anyway.
Your upset and discomfort with them is totally valid and bringing it to the attention of others in the roleplay community is definitely necessary, but I see them having the longevity of a fruit fly. Try not to worry about it so much, protect your community of gleeks where possible, and block them, cause I can tell you now they won’t learn. Their argument for allowing Lea was that “nobody else could play Rachel” which is truly a load of horseshit. Some people just don’t have the capacity to learn.
By clicking on the source link, you can find 500 gifs of CRISTIN MILIOTI as Sarah Wilder in Palm Springs (2020). Cristin Milioti is white, so cast her as such. All of these gifs are 245x160 and were made entirely by me! You can crop them, just credit me. Do not use these gifs to portray someone under twenty-one or in a real life roleplay. Honestly just don’t be weird with them. You can find more extensive rules here.

LISTEN Bobbi rpt once did this whole ass rant against people who drop threads for their mental health calling these people weak, insensitive and bad partners. They are unhinged.
oh my god i beg you say sike right now.... what the fuck is this please?? if you have a link or other receipt of some kind please drop it cause this cannot be for real. tell me you’re a really, really shitty person harder babe!!!! it’s honestly giving me disney adult energy and i cannot be fuckin arsedddddd
anyway that stupid blog blocked me ( good riddance ) and is now trying to compare those of us who are not stupid idiots to those of the right wing. it is not ‘conservative’ nor ‘pearl clutching’ to not want to roleplay minor characters, or interact with minor characters. as well as simultaneously compare us to children. but if i was a child i would maybe want to interact with a child. your math is not mathing!!!!!! bro i get uncomfortable reading books from the pov of a seventeen year old, and you want me to interact with someone that plays as one on tumblr dot com??? are you freaking kidding me??? i also do not want a single anon asking me why we shouldn’t roleplay as minors cause i am not entertaining this shit today.
if you think that roleplaying as someone under the age of eighteen is, in any way/shape/form, acceptable, block me. don’t just unfollow me, cause i don’t wanna see your stupid shit on my fucking dash ever. and if you do think this shit is acceptable, then let me know so i can scrub my blog clean of your foolishness.
anyway if you wanna roleplay children, want to roleplay with children, or are in fact a child (under 18) then you have to stay away from me, my blog and any/all characters i create. this is not a safe space for you.
Please would you or someone within the community be able to explain why it was not okay for Andrew garfield to take the role of a transwomen?
Here’s the thing, I am a ciswoman. It’s not for me to speak upon trans issues - I can amplify trans voices, but I cannot (nor will I) speak for the trans community. Instead, I’m going to link you to three articles that centre on cisgender actors portraying trans characters. None of these articles specifically discuss Andrew’s role, but the point is still the same. Why Cis Actors Should Never, Ever Play Trans Women As Eddie Redmayne Admits ‘Mistake’ - Pink News. Why Scarlett Johansson - Or Any Cis Actor - Should Never Play Any Trans Roles - them. Why It’s Wrong For Cis Actors to Take on Trans Roles - Rainbow and Co. If none of these manage to quite satisfy you, I recommend googling the issue, as there are plenty of articles out there regarding the subject.
