Chats your Dreambubble

FNAF Movie reignited my blorbo juice, I made a FNAF chat on Dreambubble that allows human OCs, characters from the books, the movie, and the games. Timeline is currently sat during Security Breach but less rambunctious so we have a steady setting :)

[dfnkt]

Honest to god I miss ~2013 msparp sometimes when people were complete freakozoids as a rule. People were weird IC and OOC. Every John on the website blushed, stuttered, typed with ~ :B and there was no such thing as in character in general pretty much because 99.7% or greater of the population just sucked at roleplay and some of the ettiquite was still evolving.

[foone]

what is msparp?

It was a roleplaying website for MS PAINT Adventures. Mainly Homestruck. Basically you set your name and text color and you got thrown into a random chat with some other roleplayer and then you could chat.

I wrote the original code and handed it off to others to run. Apparently it's been gone for a couple years now? But the code is on github, so it could be resurrected.

[egberts]

not sure if any of you have even been here long enough to remember but i did occasionally just outright rp as john egbert on this blog in 2012. and everyone played along! it was genuinely very fun and social, with replies and asks and other blogs all rping as characters. occasionally we would even go play games on other websites or host massive chats on MSPARP. i'd share links to games and it would crash websites from how many people would join to rp. lowkey miss it but also you'll never catch my grown ass rping publicly again. talk about embarrassing LMFAO

Welcome back campers, to this weeks episode of TOTAL, DRAMA, HELLSITE! On this weeks episode, me and my handy Chef Hex will be cooking up a delicious meal of parpy goodness! But the campers will have to roll a single... WITH A PROMPT! The first one to get a proper Roleplay going gets the immunity marshmallow. Now watch out, cuz this ones gonna be a doozy, dudes!

Your September 2nd PARPdate: "Remember that time on TDI where they called god to make it rain? That happened" Edition.

News this month is sorta slow- those of you In The Know already know this, but Hex is being forced to move again. This hasn't impacted Dev TOO much, honestly, and I'm gonna break down WHY in this wonderful little post!

Ok so if you remember the August update, you likely recall us showing off our shiny new mod features and how we can now play funny roleplay police state in order to nail rulebreakers and bandodgers.

If you're also a huge Bubblehead (which is what you're called), you're also likely familiar with this bastard:

(Image description: The red miles, basically. Its a message failed message repeated like ninety times in a row in red font. Thanks to Alienoid from the server for posting this screenshot for me to steal!)

This is because, somehow, these new mod features almost completely broke Dreambubble in ways that make no sense (the new features use Redis, but for some reason their introduction is making PostGres, a completely different system, go absolutely haywire)

So, Hex decided to move forward with their pet project to rewrite Dreambubble. Normally, this would mean a development delay on Parp2 and I'd feel pretty bad about laying this on yalls feet after two years of parplessness.

But hey wait isn't this literally just how they made parp last time.

The answer is yes! The previous Msparp version was built using what is now Dreambubble as a skeleton, evolving on itself into the rickety but lovable RP site we knew before she tragically passed away last February after choking to death on fresh air. As such, Dev is actually going pretty good! Hex has been COOKING through the bones for Dreambubble 2, getting a ton of barebones stuff working right off the bat:

(Image description: A barebones but functional chat window using Felt theme; complete with system connection messages, text preview, and quirking)

Along with our first new feature preview in a while: PUSH NOTIFICATIONS!

(Image description: A felt-theme settings menu showing the ability to turn on and off push notifications, as well as a browser popup in the bottom corner showing that it's been activated)

These are also working on Android! What this does is it pings you when the chat you're in gets a new message, operating on a system level instead of a site level so you don't even need to have the tab, or the browser, open to keep up with your chats! This is gonna be especially useful for mobile users, since this means they can navigate away and use their phone for other things, and their phone'll just ping them when their partners' next message comes through. (These are gonna be off by default, btw. You'll have to turn them on yourself on a per-chat basis in the final release)

It should also be noted that we've Snagged Ourselves A UI Guy recently from the userbase, so we've got a dedicated Make It Look Good person for when things get closer to launch!

That's all for this update, though. Absolutely thrilled to be showing off some progress after the restart. Hopefully we'll have even more to show off next month!

Until then, cheers!

@tekr4s replied to your post “@tekr4s replied to your post “fun fact the way i...”:

OKAY so. I was basically obsessed with being on msparp (and when it became mxrp this never changed) in the fantroll rp communities and if you were ever present in fantroll / oc themed groupchats (I could NOT do one on ones) (usually the dreambubble type chats) from 2015-16 onwards you definitely saw some kind of early tekras. he is so old now because of my antics over there. its all canon. eventually

okay but see EXACTLY. the group chats are the things i COULDNT do. they make me soooo stressed. i learned with one on one. theres so much happening at all times. why are we going so fucking fast. plus i just never have had fantrolls or ocs. so i couldnt just NOT rp a canon character i didnt have those. (to this day i struggle making original characters.)

ALSO big respect on the being welcoming because i remember every other tumblr hs roleplay community i tried to get into it was super difficult. and to a degree i still feel it but i have had a rly good run. and now i see other communities growing and im like… 👉👈 because for some reason the rp urge never ends

YEAH theres been... uh... many many more closed cliquey areas in the hsrpc. which even i was just locked out of but i kinda saw them and didnt rlly try to ... get in there? it was entirely up to others if they wanted to be welcoming or have a wide interaction net and i didnt rlly take it very hard if g2 wasnt in that circle! at the end of the day im just here to write my goofy wreck of a nerd. that sense of not taking initiative is a double edged sword but when anyone DOES approach me/g2 i gladly interact back. im very thankful about it in fact.

much encouragement to try those other communities!! just go in it to have fun!! enjoy your rping!!

[chansaw]

they did it. those mad lads actually did it msparp is fucking BACK what if i made a yellowjackets chat

[msparp-hell]

On the person calling everyone pedophiles, I see them entertain asks that like, suggest having Underage means grooming is easier and as a victim I kinda lost my shit because my grooming happened from people who were morally against underage, noncon and incest. Like, straight up the fictional morals didn’t match their actions, I was groomed through the ro community on a few different occasions.

And basically I’m tired of the rhetoric that like, it’s safer if you ban that topic because you get rid of the grooming tool. Which no, you don’t. The roleplaying is the grooming tool and there’s no wat to get rid of it to protect it. I want, so desperately, for people to stop pretending that like, there isn’t a cognitive dissonance with people who hurt kids, and that these people don’t openly say they hate and want to kill pedophiles as well.

It’s tiring and frustrating and just enables grooming and as someone who never takes part in these discussions, I hate that I am always triggered under the guise of protecting survivors and kids.

It makes me feel like they don’t care about grooming survivors UNLESS they got groomed by underage, which, hate to break it to everyone who was groomed by it, it’s actually very rare for sexual content or porn to be used unless the minor was already engaging and positive to that, because it’s too risky.

Grooming is about building trust and rapport, Roleplaying is so easy to do, and to gain an emotional investment in the characters.

And considering at no point did I rp a minor with an adult (unless you count a sfw parent and child RP between me and my groomer, after we had characters that were adults in a relationship beforehand), and I still ended up being groomed, I think these people are stupid and I’m sick and tired of being triggered because people are acting like my groomers and their enablers 24/7 when talking about an ADULT ONLY RP SITE!!!

I don’t even really use MXRP except to write with my partner nowadays, but like, I can guarantee I have seen more open pedophiles in sfw, anti-pedophilia chat groups than I have nsfw/18+, underage allowed chat groups.

Because one typically has a higher rate of minors than the other one. And typically these people get into positions of power and make friends with people in charge and then get away with it. They’re usually beloved by communities or friends with people who are.

Openly being into lolisho and underage content typically makes that very hard and harder still to get into consistent contact with minors, especially to build up trust and rapport.

i mean yeah what's gonna have more groomers, the "18+ no kids allowed and if you're even 51% suspected of being a kid you get banned" group or the "this is a safe place for kids to be uwu" group??? no fucking brainer lmao

i would be much more concerned about children being around adults who bill themselves as Safe For Kids Trust Me than ones who are like "begone minor" like, uh, every single platform (sans older iterations of msparp) ive ever seen that has underage content on it lmfao

people act like parp inherently had groomers bc it allowed underage when it was really bc its old management (and that of adjacent sites e.g. charat) were just... straight up groomers who allowed and encouraged minors writing nsfw on the site

[mxrpchronicle]

Back when I was under age and on old msparp I regrettably rped under age characters because I was...under age. I LITERALLY ADMITTED MY AGE IN A GROUP CHAT THAT WAS FOR ADULT/CHILD (FiCtIoNaL) RP, then I was groomed. Was it stupid? Yeah. Was I under the impression I was doing this to cope when it was actually a form of self harm, because adults in the same space were telling me that? Absolutely.

Anyway, hopefully that shit is never brought back to mxrp, I think I'll actually throw up. This isn't a post for pro CP rpers btw, I know you guys don't care about victims because you don't think it hurts anybody or w/e and frankly interacting with you makes me ill.

[horrorknife]

i would give ANYTHING to see my old msparp chat logs. i know i used to use it all the time when i was like 14 and i would LOOOOOVE to see how bad it was

            ⋆｡ ﾟ☁︎｡ ⋆｡ ﾟ☾ knowing your partner can potentially make writing together a lot easier !

BASICS.

♡ NAME: raven ♡ PRONOUNS: she/ they/ he, i use em all babey ♡ SEXUALITY: full demi ♡ TAKEN OR SINGLE: uhhh complicated

THREE FACTS.

♡ i'm a tarot reader ! i own about five decks now. i haven't been able to do it in a while because i've been busy with school and work, but my intuition is something i can pride myself in. ♡ sorta alongside the tarot reading, i am pagan and i worship loki. i haven't been able to do full on rituals like i want to, but i continue to leave offerings on his altar and do devotional acts. ♡ i stream on twitch sometimes ! another thing i haven't been able to do because of work and school, but still on my list of hobbies.

EXPERIENCE.

♡ HOW LONG (MONTHS / YEARS?): i was on the internet far too young and started rping in chat rooms at around 9 to 10 yrs old. so, i've been about it about 13 to 14 years now. what was i rping you ask? wolves. i was rping as a wolf. ♡ PLATFORMS YOU’VE USED: tumblr, discord, skype, msparp, deviantart, blogs made by me & my friends on webs, chatrooms. my heaviest rp scene was deviantart, however. i'm a lot newer to tumblr's rp, and i've been on and off with it for years but i've stuck around for a while now. ♡ BEST EXPERIENCE: i've never had a bad experience that i can remember. i guess the best experiences would be all the friend groups i created and the rp groups we had. unfortunately, they all drifted away after a while. i'm only in contact with a few of the people i used to rp with WAYYY back in the day.

MUSE PREFERENCES.

♡ FEMALE OR MALE: male, but i do have female muses. my male muses just usually end up more popular. ♡ FLUFF, ANGST OR SMUT: all of it ! i think that overall i'm more angsty when it comes to writing and ideas, though. ♡ PLOTS OR MEMES: i'm so awful at plotting, please just send me memes. especially when we're first interacting. if it's like, plotting OFF a meme that's so cool and awesome. but me ? outright plotting ? very rare. ♡ LONG OR SHORT REPLIES: long for sure. shorter replies like one-liners are usually saved for silliness. ♡ BEST TIME TO WRITE: i can write at any time really, but i usually end up writing in the afternoon/evenings because of work. ♡ ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S): i want to say no but my friends always find a way to prove me wrong every time. i do let certain aspects of my personality effect my muses sometimes, or use parts of my life/things i've experienced to influence them. right now, i keep getting that i'm like husk and it's a punch to my head every time.

MXRP RE-BUILD BETA IS LIVE

And as you look upon the body, you hear something you didn't expect; a heartbeat.

THE BACKER-EXCLUSIVE BETA IS GOING LIVE! PHASE 1: GROUP CHATS

The ever-powerful Hex has finished up all we need to launch the initial beta of the MXRP 2023 REBUILD in all its (unfinished) glory. As stated before, though; this phase of the beta will be primarily focusing on group chats in order to test chat functionality, stress test network connection, and gauge reception to the new stuff we have cooking. It will also be exclusive to those who backed the original Kickstarter, the previous Patreon, and the CURRENT patreon prior to this post going live. Once I hit post on this, I'll be shooting all of you your beta codes. Slowly. (Because there's a lot of you and I have to do it one by one).

THINGS TO NOTE:

As the site is still in dev, pretty much everything you see is subject to change. The visuals aren't final (we've actually discussed something internally that we're not ready to speak on yet in regard to this, but I'll announce if we end up doing it), the settings menu is a little sparse, etc. In one weeks' time, I'll be posting a survey to collect feedback for me and Hex to shovel into our slavering maws and guide our hands going forward.

As this is a functionality beta, several features are currently a little fuckity wuckity (don't work). These include:

Quirking

Chat User editing (IE, acronym, name, color, etc). Site admins can change someone's defaults if they really, absolutely need it. It's a top priority to get patched in after the beta starts though.

Kicking (Kind of redundant, and the logic is weird. Hex is getting to it later)

Bbcode does not reflect live in the editor, but it does render in messages.

Certain parts of the new in-chatbar formatter don't work right (Blockquotes, etc)

The beta will also be updating periodically, as Hex will be patching features in as we go along.

For those of you who have a Beta Code from the old Patreon:

Go on your Patreon account and click Community, from here navigate to Direct Messages. You should have one from a now deleted account that looks something like this:

(This is my beta code but i own the site so uhhhhhhhh steal it from me I guess who cares ill generate myself a new one.)

For those of you who have a Beta Code from the old Kickstarter:

Check your emails- like, not recently but check 'em. Somewhere in there you should have a message from Kickstarter containing your beta code! If that fails, check your Kickstarter messages themselves! You should have a beta code!

If you encounter and wish to report a bug, or have a feature suggestion and can't wait for the survey, please use This Link! (Click the green NEW ISSUE button!)

Welcome back, MxRP-

No, welcome back MSPARP.

EDIT: I FORGOT OOPS HERES THE LINK OOPS FUCK
