I have come to the point where I am no longer going to ask for my existence as a writing partner to be recognized.

I'm making it a blanket post to address the behavior because it's rampant on my blog.

If you write with me you as an adult are going to need to take accountability for the threads and in character engagements we participate in.

I have multiple people asking me to remind them to respond or to come to them if I feel ignored.

I am not responsible for policing how other adults treat me if you're ignoring me it's not on me to point it out in a soft gentle way.

I will set my boundaries but I am not going to come and ask for attention or participation in writing from other adults who are making it otherwise clear they have no intention in participating ic.

I am not going to beg for attention when it is being made clear through actions that others only want to engage in romantic ships and not platonic.

Not the case??? Increase communication with your partners. Additionally not my job to come to my partners and say ' I notice you're only engaging in romance lately'

Believe me I tried something similar and more neutral and I was labeled ' anti shipping and anti smut uwu'.

I give months of leeway for responses and time to engage in meaningful ways.

If I don't see any ic movement that tells me you're not interested. Not the case? Communicate that.

Don't have the muse for it? Communicate that.

I am beyond patient and provide plenty of grace and understanding so step up and begin being accountable. Use that grace and patience.

I am quite frankly too depressed to continue tolerating this behavior any longer.

All I ask is that individuals increase communication and accountability in how others are treated and considered even if they are just a writing partner.

you just sit there and look pretty. i'll handle everything. (GABBY. For the lolz)

" thanks Gabby!" Catalyst called making himself comfortable on.top of a shipping container, his slushie and his broken shoulder completing the bloody outfit. Every time Gabby hits a goon he shouts out a score.

Every time it's an 8 or above. Catalyst isn't a stingy judge because Gabby is a deadly expert she just chooses to be different. A true inspiration and a great influence on him.

He cheers as two men are thrown through the air.

" excellent hustle, Gabby!!!"

Five guys go soaring past to crumble to the ground.

" That is my wolverine!!! Gaslight! Gatekeep! Girl boss that loser!!"

"LET ME HELP YOU" PROMPTS *  assorted dialogue, adjust as necessary

here, i'll take care of that.

why don't you sit down and let me take care of it?

you must be exhausted. i can finish up.

i know you were struggling. that's why i did it for you.

i'm your friend. it's my job to help you out.

oh, it's no trouble at all. let me take care of this.

this won't take long!

you just sit there and look pretty. i'll handle everything.

no no! i don't want you lifting a finger!

this is my way of thanking you.

i've got everything under control.

you do so much for me already. it's time for me to return the favor.

i know how much this means to you.

let me help you, dammit.

i put everything away while you were asleep.

hope you don't mind.

it was never going to get done without me.

i like helping you out.

you deserve some good rest.

it's no trouble at all.

i'll tell them. you stay there.

i've got everything under control.

figured you could use my help.

no need to thank me!

i wanted to help you out here.

i heard you needed some assistance.

they said you needed help, so i stepped in.

oh, don't mention it!

everything will be just fine once i finish this up.

you've done so much for me already.

i wanted to thank you for helping me out.

this is my show of thanks.

let me carry that for you.

don't move a muscle.

it's clear you needed some help with this.

i'm not gonna just stand here and make you do all the work.

where can i help you out?

what can i do? put me to work.

that's easy! i can do that for you.

let me try for a second.

you've done quite enough! it's time for me to take over!

i stepped in and finished the job while you were away.

i took over the project.

i saw you struggling with it. i didn't want to say anything.

oh that? that wasn't hard at all!

i care about you. i wanted to do this for you.

when's the last time you let someone help you?

you never let me help out.

you can't do everything by yourself.

listen to me. i want to help you.

i'm not going anywhere until you let me help.

this is too hard for one person.

it would mean a lot to me if you let me help.

i hate seeing you struggle alone.

"... WHERE ARE WE?" PROMPTS *  assorted dialogue, adjust as necessary

what is this place, anyway?

why did you bring me here?

this is it? this is what you've been talking about this whole time?

i'm not sure where we are.

do you have any idea where this is?

does anything look familiar to you?

i could have sworn we came this way.

we've been walking in circles.

should we split up or keep moving?

do you have any idea where we are?

this isn't good. this doesn't look familiar.

that's the third time we've passed that tree.

bit dark in here, isn't it?

are you sure you know where we're going?

what did i just step into?

should we press on?

i have a feeling we're not in kansas anymore.

i thought you said you knew where to go.

where are you taking me?

if we just sit right here and wait, someone will come looking for us.

have you ever been here before?

you seem familiar with this place.

i don't recognize anything.

i knew we made a wrong turn back there.

you've been leading us in circles.

this isn't my street.

that house doesn't look familiar.

do you have a map?

we're already lost. i'm not planning on getting even more lost.

maybe we should ask for directions.

i don't think we should have come here.

my phone's dead. do you have service?

we could try retracing our steps.

could you help me try and figure out where we are?

oh my god. we're going to die out here.

quick! look for familiar landmarks.

i've never been here before.

oh no. i'm staying right here and waiting for help.

is this the place you've been talking about?

so... where is here?

of course. just my luck. i get lost with you of all people.

how much longer do we have to walk?

are we almost there?

you couldn't find your way out of a paper bag.

you should have trusted me with the directions.

this seems like some kind of underground passage.

where does this door lead to?

we've been walking for hours.

oh great. we're lost.

i'll see if i can get a good view from up there.

i don't think we should be here.

maybe we could try calling for help.

i don't want us to get separated out here.

it'll get dark soon.

we're going to die out here, aren't we.

i'll just sit here and wait for my impending doom.

the last thing i wanted to do was get lost with you.

is that your way of helping us find our way out of here? because it's not working.

when you’re in Mexico and your alien gladiator best friend and crush keeps getting sunburns but he won’t wear sunscreen, so you tell him to go buy a hat.  [ID: A greyscale digital drawing of Rictor and Shatterstar. ‘Star is wearing a white tank top, shorts and ridiculously large sunhat while holding a map in his hands. The hat leaves most of his face in the shadow, but his mouth is in unhappy grimace. Rictor is standing in front of him, back to ‘Star. He’s also wearing a white tank top and shorts. Rictor’s shielding his face with one hand while covering his mouth with the other, trying to hide his laughter from ‘Star. Both of them have their hair down and Rictor has sunglasses on his forehead. There’s following dialogue in the picture: ‘Star: “You said I needed a hat.” Rictor: “I sure did.” ‘Star: “… I know you’re laughing, Julio.” Rictor: “Oh I would never.”  end ID]

Love how they're talking about fetish mining but hmu when people in the rpc actually warn each other about pedos. I've had 3 target my blog over the last 7 years and each one has been a horrifying and scarring experience.

No one warned me about serial offenders or abusers in the rpc when I first joined and no one would communicate or intervene with what was happening when gr**ming was being done.

These people all still are active in the rpc and I just can't take anyone talking about being a safe space seriously.

Fortunately I now run with people who are better friends and I have a better eye for catching them. But it's been as early as last year I caught one trying to sneak into my circle to get Cat. It's infuriating. It's disgusting. Its isolating.

These people don't come to you asking out right. They befriend you first and they become a good friend to you. They're the worst of the worst and when you try and speak up about what they tried to do they usually try and manipulate things so you were the one in the wrong or you were being insensitive etc.

Or even better they try and manipulate images or delete things etc. Like that shit still happened but no one believes you. Then if you say anything you get caught in the your word against there's and you're perceived as not being responsible enough because you're the mun of the minor and its your job to keep them safe

The double standards are wild.

Protecting Yourself from Fetish Mining.

The rise in fetish mining anons has become horrifically rampant over the past year in RPC. Unfortunately, many folks have fallen victim to them due to the nature of fetish miners. The purpose of this PSA is to aid in spotting fetish mining anons within the Tumblr RPC.

Before I continue, please proceed with caution as this topic is adult themed but is a PSA for everyone. I will not go into detail about any fetishes. To learn more about general fetish mining, and what to look out for, check out this detailed PSA by BeckiiCruel, and this PSA about fetish mining within the art community by BluSilurus.

What is Fetish Mining?

Fetish mining, within the Tumblr RPC, is the soliciting of fetish content through Tumblr's inbox via anonymous asks. These asks are sent without the receiver knowing their true purpose and without their informed consent.

People are allowed to have fetishes, but fetish miners thrive off their victims being unassuming and unable to give informed consent. Fetish mining is a nonconsensual fetish and exploits their victims into giving them fetish content.

What to Look For.

Fetish miners within the Tumblr RPC use the anonymous inbox feature to conceal their identity, evade accountability for their actions, and come off as nonthreatening. They'll most likely come off as playful and exploit the fun in receiving anonymous asks within the RPC.

Fetish miners prefer targeting SFW blogs over NSFW ones. Why? Fetish miners want to claim their asks are not of fetishistic nature and to deny the receiver consent. They rely on plausible deniability in order to continue sending asks to their victims.

Please note that anything can be a fetish. Fetish mining asks will appear as innocent as possible to trick unassuming victims into giving them fetish content. They can also be super subtle or extremely obvious. Here are a few behaviors and examples of what to look for:

– Persistent or fixated on the same topic, action, request, or question over an over again. – Pressuring the receiver to answer the ask/s in a playful manner. – Pulling or stomping on a muse's tail, limb, hair, etc. – Putting your muse in a scenario where they're stuck in something. – Transforming your muse into an object, creature, or adding new features. – Cloning a muse repeatedly over several asks. – Feeding a muse over several asks. – Tickling a muse over several asks. – Fixating on muse's underwear, shoes, or other specific garments. – Wanting a scenario of a muse's scent or smell in detail. – Any kind of bathroom talk, including the discussion of diapers, the sender wetting themselves, discussion of any bodily fluid, and so forth. – Giving a muse a kind of potion, magic etc, that will force the muse into their desired effect ( changing their size, making them pregnant, expanding or shrinking certain body parts, laughing fits, the muse becomes lustful, or anything listed above, etc. ). – Super detailed scenarios featuring any of the listed topics that is without any plotting or context. – And much more as anything can be a fetish.

All instances above have been reported in the RPC throughout the years. Here is a Goodle document with current records given by victims. Please take a look to see real examples of fetish mining. You are free to submit your own instances if you have the victims consent. Instructions on how to do so are in the document.

How to Protect Yourself.

If an ask feels off to you, trust your gut. You do not need to answer every ask that comes into your inbox. If you're still uncertain check with trusted friends, or cross check the Google document listed above. Block any anon that makes you feel off, uneasy, or unsafe. Set your own boundaries, but be warned, fetish miners will not respect them if you leave them unblocked.

If you feel you must answer the ask, take a screenshot, block the anon, and then put the screenshot and your answer in a seperate post. Remember anons must be a member of the tumblr community. Unless they have another account, blocking them will keep you safe from further fetish mining attempts.

If you think someone is being fetish mined please reach out to them and inform them. Victims rarely realize they're nonconsensually playing into someone's fetish. Victims should not be shamed or told they should know better. Stay vigilant and stay safe. Look out for your fellow rper if you see anything that could be fetish mining.

"I DIDN'T KNOW YOU COULD DO THAT" PROMPTS *  assorted dialogue, adjust as necessary

when did you learn how to do that?

that was... weird.

that was you, right? you did that?

i'm imagining things, aren't i? that didn't just happen.

i'm going to pretend like i didn't see that.

who on earth taught you that?

that was a bit scary, i have to admit.

i didn't know you were capable of that.

could you always do that, or was that something you just learned?

just felt like you could spring that on me, i guess?

i have... so many questions.

so... when were you going to tell me about that?

i must be dreaming.

i guess i don't know you that well after all.

did they teach you how to do that?

where did you learn that?

so that's what you learned while you were away.

all right. start talking.

you can't just pull that out without telling me!

warn me next time!

that was... that was incredible.

was that magic?

we'll talk about whatever that was later.

a little warning next time would be great.

wait wait wait, before we go any further, i need an explanation.

don't just walk off! tell me what that was!

and here i thought i knew you well enough.

i don't like it when you keep secrets.

next time, tell me beforehand. that way i'm not freaking out the whole time wondering what's going on.

you don't see that every day.

can you do it again?

show it to me again.

i liked that a little more than i should.

give me a second to pick my jaw up off the floor.

you never told me you could do something like that.

you can't just do that stuff and expect me to be okay with it!

so that's what you've been learning.

could you teach me how to do that?

how long did that take you to learn?

i'm beyond impressed by you.

now that's more like it!

that was excellent.

you really are extraordinary.

i've never seen anyone do anything remotely as cool as that.

that must have taken you years to perfect.

show me again, and this time, let me see if i can do it, too.

when we're through with this, i'd like you to teach me how.

i never thought i'd see the day.

my heart's pounding.

you're starting to really impress me.

PROMPTS FROM HITCHCOCK'S STRANGERS ON A TRAIN *  assorted dialogue from the 1950 film, adjust as necessary

oh, excuse me!

i beg your pardon, but aren't you [name]?

i certainly admire people who do things.

i suppose you think it's corny.

it must be pretty exciting to be so important.

people who do things are important. i never seem to do anything.

wish i could see you play.

there i go again. too friendly. i meet someone i like and open my yap too wide. i'm sorry.

that's all right. forget it.

you'll have to drink both of them.

when's the wedding?

what would anybody want to go there for?

do you know if there are any vacant seats in the dining car now?

sure, i went to college. three of them.

nobody thinks i'm anything special.

my father hates me.

i want to do everything. i've got a theory you're supposed to do everything before you die.

i'm not like you. you're lucky. you're smart.

i'm your friend, remember? i'd do anything for you.

let's not talk about it any more.

i may be old fashioned, but i thought murder was against the law.

my theory is that everybody is a potential murderer.

you can't go around killing people just because you think they're useless.

i'm afraid i haven't time to listen.

what's your hurry?

i got over being jealous a long time ago.

let's talk in there.

it's pretty late to start flirting.

do you know, i think you're hansomer than ever?

what are you trying to say? come out with it.

you always smile when your picture is being taken for the papers.

so it's really serious between you two?

keep your voice down.

i never want to see or hear of you again.

who would believe you?

i know how you must feel.

you're so restless lately.

you have that "look." i can always tell.

you can always make me laugh.

i do wish you'd take up painting. it's such a soothing pastime.

don't you stay out too late.

what are you doing here? at this time of night?

you don't seem very pleased to see me.

it was all over in no time.

we planned it on the train together, remember?

we'd both be arrested for murder.

you think you can get away with that?

you've got me acting like a criminal!

don't you call me that.

i've been a fan of yours for a long time. in fact, i follow everything you do.

just two more days left.

i've got to get some sleep.

when a murderer is caught, he must be tried. when he is convicted, he must be sentenced. when he is sentenced to death, he must be executed.

you seem very interested in the subject of murder.

i suppose i'll have to get a gun from somewhere.

what about a little poison?

let me show you what i mean.

you're a mad, crazy maniac and you ought to be locked up.

come on. pull yourself together.

have you got a car here?

what did i have to do with it?

i want you to tell me.

i'm sure this thing must be some practical joke.

i wish i understood what this is all about!

don't just stand there... do something!

the killer is here tonight.

i've never seen this man before in my life!
