Let’s Pretend I Didn’t Wear Myself Out By Doing A Shit Ton Of Dishes, And Instead Say, Here, Have

"Damn, Don. You always bring me to the /nicest/ joints."

“well, you know, i try. if i don’t, who will, you know? i mean...” at this point, don clammed up for a few moments, reassessing the area. yes, everything looked clear, clear as day, but that didn’t mean he was about to let his guard down.

( and he knew he had to stop talking for a few moments. he was getting to sound a bit ridiculous at this point. )

after a few moments of silence, he allowed his shoulders to relax as he turned back to nat. “...better an empty warehouse than a crowded bar or something, right? there’s bound to be dna samples here.”

The Seven Deadly Partners

I am by no means trying to tell you what you should and should not do, nor am I aiming to police the internet. If you’re comfortable with some of the following, that’s fine but this is a list based on my own personal experiences and what I have learned from them and it’s to help as a warning to those who might not know what to look out for as they’re new to RPing.

((If you choose to reblog this post for others to see you may do so only on the condition that you do not tag or mention anyone who you feel is one of these partners. This is not a call out freebee, that’s not what this post is for!))

1. Possessive Obsessive

    These are Partners who become easily jealous when your muse interacts with other muses. They don’t like the idea that your blog is a multiverse/ship blog because theirs is not or whatever reason they give for it. They might even go as far as to contact others anonymously to tell them to leave you alone without even consulting you first. Some of these parters appear to become upset or aggressive when you don’t know everything about their muse or you refuse a plot suggestion from them. They will try to isolate you in such a way that you are only able to write with them.

2. Guilt Tripper

   Those that don’t like what has happened in a thread or that you’re writing with someone they don’t like and then threaten to leave the site if things don’t change. That it would be your fault if anything happens to them or their blog, even threats to alter their muses relationship with yours. This is an attempt to control how and who you interact with. This is manipulative behaviour and should not be stood for.

3. The ‘Game Master’ 

   These partners are those that come up with the plots only they control everything in the plot, your muse isn’t allowed to actually be your muse because it effects their muse or their plot. In the end you must consider if you are writing your muse or if you are writing an NPC for them. You owe these people nothing you don’t want to give, no matter how controlling or guilt tripping they then become when you confront them.

4. The Stifler 

    Similar to the Game Masters, these partners smother your muse with threads but every single one of them is centred around the needs of their muse and not yours. While their muse grows and develops, there’s no breathing room for yours to do the same. You burn yourself out in keeping up with their threads but don’t feel like you or your muse are getting anything in return.

5. The Stalker 

   They ask for all of your URLs and it can be quite flattering, only they become annoyed if they find another blog of yours elsewhere you haven’t mentioned, or that you don’t interact with them through a certain muse of yours. These people might just be excited and eager to write with you but they have no right to expect you to do so on any of your blogs.

6. The Victim

   This one always, always plays the victim ooc. Whatever you do that they don’t agree with suddenly turns into vague blogging, sending anonymous messages, setting their friends on you or blatantly ignoring you in the IMs. It turns into a public call out post in which they expect their followers to side with them no matter what and deny you the chance to explain your side of the situation, yet they do not block or unfollow you, wanting to see the chaos play out. When eventually reasoned with, this usually results in a sob story from them in order to get your supposed forgiveness and as if you might return to everything as normal… beware the apparent victim.

7. The Bleeder

   These are the partners who blend whatever is happening in character into out of character things. Sometimes it is just a one off and many, many people have done it in the past, but when it keeps happening there should be red flags and warning bells ringing. If your partner cannot differentiate between OOC and IC expect considerable drama!

Send ✤ plus fandom name and I'll describe an AU version of my muse from that fandom.

PSA

Hey followers. I’ve seen a couple of call-out posts on my dash over the past couple of weeks, highlighting the alleged bad behavior of certain roleplayers. Whether these posts contain truth or not, I just want to share this with everyone:

It’s OKAY to say NO. It’s okay to block someone the moment you feel threatened, uncomfortable, scared, or manipulated. 

Yes, it’ll hurt their feelings. They might get upset. But your safety is more important. Don’t write/do/participate in anything you’re not comfortable with. If you’re terrified or anxious of confrontation, just block them and let it be done!

Your concerns are vallid. Your fears are valid. This person might be triggering you and sure, they might not have the context! If you feel comfortable with explaining it to them do it. If you don’t, or if you do and they don’t seem to care or understand, block them. Say no. Cut out what you can in life that makes you upset or anxious, because you will have a lot to deal with offline already.

Please be safe. Please use the block button. Please turn off anon if you keep getting garbage anonymous messages. Please say no.

If you don’t know how to “soft block” people –

Block someone, then unblock them immediately. This will make them unfollow you unknowingly and simultaneously have you unfollow them, too.

If you need to block certain words/phrases/usernames from your dash – use the extension tumblr savior . 

And the most powerful tool of all –  If you’re scared, upset, triggered, feel guilted or uncomfortable – 

LOG OUT. 

It doesn’t have to be forever and you don’t have to delete your blog. It doesn’t have to be for very long at all – you don’t  have to announce it! 

But Tumblr should not affect you once you sign out. It is a website. You have higher priorities. You are a living, breathing, beautiful human being who deserves to be treated with respect and cherished. It’s so easy to see people as simply text on a screen when you’re online, even subconsciously; that anonyminity can encourage people to be mean, to take out their problems on others.

Don’t be that person and don’t be the victim of that person. You deserve better. You deserve to enjoy Tumblr as a hobby and a place you visit online. Do not feel bad about saying no or using the block button – that’s what it was created for!

Take care of yourself and your friends. You’re going to be okay.
