RPC self-care

We all get worn down by life and often we turn to RP for rejuvenation. But more than once I've seen people on here that find themselves burnt out on the RP community itself. With nearly 20 years of role playing under my belt, I thought I'd share some of my favourite self-care tricks.

Block people. You don't have to explain yourself and 'weird vibes' is a legitimate reason. You deserve to feel safe and unbothered in your hobby space, and RP is based on consent. Just like with any recreational activity, you can withdraw your consent at any time and no is a complete sentence.

Turn off anon. This prevents anonymous harassment and gives you great insight into who to block or report if you get non-anonymous harassment.

Drop threads. I know RP etiquette suggests you need to tell your RP partner when and why, and sure, if they ask politely you can give it a go - just know that a pre-written variant of 'not feeling it' is good enough. In my humble opinion, I think dropping boring or vexing threads is everyone's prerogative and doesn't require explanation. Again, no is a complete sentence.

Talk it out. If you like the thread but things took a turn you didn't like, it's time to bring the RP into the workshop. Something like 'Hey I really like our RP so far but I'm losing my spark, can we talk about course correcting where the plot is going?'

Make clear rules and revise them frequently. I'd also advise against spending said rules excusing or explaining why you don't like or want a certain thing - I cannot stress enough how your preferences are not up for debate.

Get comfy chasing. A lot of RP is about inviting others to play over and over and over. Rejection is a part of it. See if you can't find some element of self-care in it - taking rejection well is a great skill to practice in such a low stake environment.

Notice and celebrate the good stuff, instead of digging holes about the bad. Tell your co-players how great they are. Marvel at all the hard work you put into your muses and graphics. Admire your own blog.

Stop. Take a break. Check in with yourself. Do you actually need to face something in IRL? Do you need to rest? A snickers? A walk? Don't bother with posts á la 'offline for the day' - leave your options open to reduce guilt or shame if you want to poke your head back in.

Happy writing. 🌿

|| 💛 ||: ❝ I didn't say TV remote, did I? ❞

|| 💛 ||: ❝ But also yeah you're not going to see me naked until you put them back. I can turn fully invisible now, darling, so good luck getting around that. ❞

"I don't watch tv. I also have no shame! Come on Hax, i know you can give me something better than that~"

[oflostinfound]

|| 💛 ||: ❝ No I'm only going to rip a couple seams so they slowly melt off when you least expect it. I'm also hiding the remote. Put the spices back. ❞

"All i have are like.... 7 pairs of shorts. You'll see me naked more but that's not an issue for me."

Dwight sheepishly pokes his head in. “It’s just that…it’ll be a waste of food if I don’t eat it. I mean, I’ll dust the food off before I eat it.”

She simply sighs, and sets Rin back on his feet. Though she does still cross her arms and level a stern stare at him.

|| 🔷 ||: ❝ Why were you trying to get her to listen? I thought you two had agreed to give each other space. ❞

🌀 He deflates slightly are her obvious disappointment.

"I didn't know what else to do...! I was worried, and it was the only way I could think of to get her to listen." 🐈‍⬛

She will set him down, eventually, but not without some answers.

Eath will pop out of a portal and attempt to grab Rin by the back of the shirt and lift him into the air (yes she smaller than him but you know-)

🌀 "UwAH, what's happening!!?"

"Eath?!" He stops struggling once he sees who it is. 🐈‍⬛
