OC STRUGGLES IN THE RPC

honestly writing an OC in this community is another set of issues.

the soul crushing feeling when you see “no OCs” 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 suddenly 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 YOU’RE 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. they’re 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 look 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 don’t lose interest

canon blogs that shit on OCs– you 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 else’s?

do they think i stole their canon?

and what do you do when somebody does steal your canon? it can be so hard to prove and it’s so easy for it to be dismissed

having your OC written off because of the face claim choice– that face is constantly typecast, nobody can take it seriously, they’ve been overplayed and ruined. (we love you, nina dobrev and 1D OCs, you’re doing gods work)

honestly, i’m sure i could keep going. if you ask your local OC muns, they’ll be able to tack a few of their own struggles onto this list. hell, i encourage you to!

“Where’d ya’ get him at? From the Great Marsh maybe?” She asked, kneeling down so that she was at eye-level with Skipper. 

“He looks strong!”

If I post an open starter, and you want to respond to it,

                                           DO THE THING!

❝ But the starter has already been replied too by someone else! ❞

                                           I don’t care, do the thing.

❝ But you posted it hours/days/weeks months ago! ❞

                                          Do. The. Thing.

❝ But I don’t know if I can… ❞

                                         This is your permission.                                          Do the thing.

❝ But you’re so quality, and I’m not! ❞

                                          I don’t care, do the thing.

Look, there’s nothing more depressing than making a starter, big or small, and having no one reply to it. It just sits there, empty, unused, unloved. If it happens enough the role player will stop posting open starters all together, defaulting instead to people who they know will answer them for sure. Or in some extreme cases leave the community. 

Open starters are open for a reason. Any one of my followers can answer them hours, days, weeks, heck even months after they’ve been posted. That’s why they’re tagged open.

So please, if you ever, ever, see a starter post tagged open that looks interesting to you RESPOND TO IT! 

You’re not going to annoy me, in fact you will make my day. You’re not going to see it but I’m probably going to do a little happy dance in my seat, or grin like an idiot, or make high pitched squeaky noises, or all of the above, because you, yes you, responded to the starter I posted.

“Well, I don’t know of any place to get a drink, but you can smoke just over there.” Hayley responds, pointing towards an area a few yards away. 

“So who are ya’ anyway? Never seen you around before.”

Send me a ★ to see what one of my character’s Pokemon did to your character.

You can specify the Pokemon if you’d like! 1. Tripped your character and caused them to fall into a mud puddle. 2. Stole your character’s lunch. 3. Pounced on your character and proceeded to lick their face. 4. Gave your character a random item. [perhaps something that my character owned.] 5. Curiously sniffed your character before biting them. [playfully or not] 6. Stole an important item from your character. 7. Pretended to be wounded just for attention. 8. Lead your character back to my character. 9. Scared them. [By jumping out from behind a chair, by sneaking up on them, by using an attack, ect.] 10. Started chasing your character.

It certainly wasn’t any secret that Celio was no Pokemon trainer, but that was precisely why Hayley had decided to give him the bundle of fluff that was contained in the Quick Ball she had placed in his hands. His Pokemon were typically free to relax and do what they wanted.

    “Of course I’m sure! That little guy is too timid to battle. I tried to train ‘im myself but he just didn’t want any part of it. I think he’d be much happier with you.” She explained. 

     “Why don’t you let ‘im out and say hello?” She was grinning from ear to ear. She had a good feeling that he would love the little Electric-type.
