Do you have any hard rules about what rp is abd isn’t allowed? Like owning legendaries or witnessing canon events? Sorry if this is a stupid question by the way I’m just very used to warrior cats rp forums which get run like the fucking navy 😭

// I don't really have any hard rules for the directory! It's kinda just like. Are you pretending to be a Pokemon trainer who runs a website? yes/no. lol and like. if you're rping as a protagonist then ofc they've witnessed canon events and probably have a legendary!

Found a new resource to add to the site! Neither me or Stahl have the time to do so right now so I'll just link it here for now! - Homura

// thank you for all your web resources! I want to make a site but I'm worried just rping as a basic trainer is going to be boring for people. Do you have any tips for what to post about or stuff to add to your website for interest?

// ooh that's a tough question! I'm going to shamelessly self-promo my main PKMN/Rotumblr/Neoskitties site and point you over to https://steel-type.neoskitties.org

Steel Type doesn't focus much on my Pokémon OC, a Gym Leader named Stahl. Instead, it focuses on steel type Pokémon! I'm slowly writing care-guides for every steel type, written as Stahl who specializes in that type.

Stahl does have a little personal journal section on the site, but it's rarely used.

Focusing on world building is probably my best suggestion. That, or just looking at a ton of personal sites and mimic how real people talk about themselves and how they use their sites.

Your character is a berry farmer? Maybe talk a ton about berries & share berry based recipes.

Maybe they're a Pokémon breeder and talk about caring for newly hatched Pokémon.

A trainer doing the gym challenge might blog about the friends they meet, keep a battle win/lose tracker, brag about how cool their Pokémon are or share travel tips!

A backpacker might share info about their favorite hiking trails! A Pokémon Ranger would likely share safety tips!

I think focusing on expanding canon trainer classes is probably a good starting place.

I hope this helped!

Hey, is this blog still active?

I really like the idea of rping as a pokemon trainer, maybe on a sideblog, and I like playing around a lot with markup so I think there's a possibility I could try to become a member.

The only issue is, I find rotomblr really comfortable as a host site since liveposting is pretty easy. Would you still accept a blog hosted on rotomblr? Or would I have to use neoskitties/host my own site?

// Hi! really sorry for the slow reply! I've been so busy lately lol. Unfortunately Neoskitties is for websites only, not blogs or social media... That said, your website doesn't have to be anything big! A small 'about me' or something in-character would be enough to get you on the directory!

[neoskitties]

// life is fighting me rn, I promise I didn't abandon this blog though! I still check notes on a regular basis in case I have asks :)

[neoskitties]

// Do I have to be active on Rotumblr to get added to the directory or is it enough to have a site? I’m very new to rp, especially on tumblr, so I’d like to test the waters as a website first

// Hello! You don't have to be active on Rotumblr! As long as your site is in-character, I don't care how active you are!

[neoskitties]

Sorry for going MIA, life got busy for both me and Stahl at the same time! how unfortunate! Stahl's still working on stuff, but I'll pester him about making time to check his email for any new friends for the directory. - Homura

// I was prepping for my first ever anime con & first ever cosplay contest! I won in the novice division, which is super cool!! I am currently Halloween prepping + slowly working on my next cosplay (even though I have a full year before the next anime convention I'll be going to). But yeah. I've been busy, sorry!

[neoskitties]

can i join the directory thing if i don't have a site like entirely about pokemon? i was planning on adding a goomy shrine but idk what else to add ^^"

// As long as the page is in-character, then it's okay!

[neoskitties]

hi im new to this how do you get into rotumbr? not used to rp like this

// My #1 recommendation is to send in-character asks! That's the best way to get some mutuals! From there your in-character posts should get some interactions from your new found mutuals.

// Good luck soldier 🫡

// I uh never thought I'd have to make a post like this but this is a silly roleplay blog about convincing people to make websites.

// I don't have the energy or knowledge to make sure donation requests are not scams.

// I'm really sorry but I won't be answering those kinds of asks...

Why do you uphold the past?

-Ninetales

That's a very interesting question! I think "upholding the past" can be a great way of expressing yourself in a way modern social media restricts! You can make anything you want, so long as you have the skills to do so!

If the past makes you more creative or allows you to have more fun, then I think bringing it into the present is a wonderful idea! - Homura

This is a revival, preservation and modernization of a dying hobby! I wouldn't consider it upholding the past but if that's how you see it then my answer is "why wouldn't you want to uphold the past?" The past is a huge part of who we are as humans and as Pokémon! - Stahl

HTML tutorial?

// Unless you get more specific, no. There's so many better resources for learning the basics of HTML than some guy rping on Tumblr 😭

like I'd be happy to make small tutorials for little things (like the magic of CSS' 'transform: scale(1.1)' which, as simple as it is, I only recently learned) but like a from-scratch tutorial? for someone with little to no experience? I'd rather point you to freecodecamp or w3schools for that!
