What current rp trend do you hate?

This isn't specific to RP by any stretch, although I do see it crop up in these spaces with at least enough regularity to find it offputting every time. To phrase this as succinctly as possible, I find the 'proship/antiship' framework bafflingly reductive, and have no interest in engaging with it or pretending that I think it's a dichotomy conducive to fostering mature, nuanced discussions or perspectives about...anything, really.

Name any three things about the rpc that bother you.

⚙️ I believe we all fall into this trap sometimes, but I think that RPers can sometimes be much quicker to ask/invite/expect others to do the work of reaching out, sending thoughtful asks/prompts/messages/feedback, plotting, etc. than they are to offer that service or take that initiative themselves. It's fine to ask for things or want others to do the work sometimes, but it's also important to look inward and assess exactly how much thoughtful, meaningful effort you're putting out there yourself.

⚙️ When 'drama' happens, it often balloons in a way that isn't remotely necessary simply because people feel the need to weigh in and talk about it on the dash even if they're uninvolved. You know how traffic will sometimes pile up for miles on the highway, and then when you get close enough to the source to realize what the issue is, it's just a minor fender-bender on the shoulder that everyone for some reason feels the need to slow down and gawk at--? Same principle. Mind your business and move the fuck along.

⚙️ In a nutshell: it often seems as if players want their characters to be seen as 'kinky' simply because they assume that 'vanilla' is a bad thing, rather than because they actually have any understanding of or appreciation for what kink means, how kink dynamics or spaces work, etc.

What’s one thing that other people seem to hate that doesn’t bother you?

I don't think the English language contains words that could adequately convey the sheer immensity of the fuck I do not give about people reblogging memes or whatever from me instead of from the source, or if they reblog it without sending me anything. I don't know if the optics are different on my devices or what, but I've always seen other people say that it messes up their notifications when people 'use their blog as a meme resource' or whatever, and I've always found that utterly baffling simply because I've never had that issue myself. So, people can do whatever as far as I'm concerned. It really doesn't make a difference to me where people reblog their memes from.

Hello, I'm Mango. I'm 25+, my pronouns are she/her. I live in Canada and my timezone is PST.

This is an indie rp blog for Yusei Fudo of YuGiOh 5Ds. Sometimes I use animated icons, sometimes live action. Yusei's FC is Haruma Miura.

Below are some handy links:

Rules are below the cut.

𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠:: I'll have days where I'll lack muse and I'll spam the dash with pretty gifs of my muse's face. It's just how I roll but I figured I'd be up front about it so people who consider following me know what they're in for.

The Basics

I’m a selective/mutuals only blog. Mutuals are people I’m following and who are following me back. If one of us is not following the other, we’re not mutuals. All starter calls, memes, opens, etc. are for mutuals.

If you want to continue an rp that started over an ask, please make a new post instead of reblogging it. It’s neater that way.

Please trim your posts.

Do not reblog rps you’re not a part of. It messes up my notifications.

Don’t godmod.

Original Characters.

Love ‘em. They gotta have an about page I can read otherwise I won’t follow. I’m not going to rp with an oc that keeps me in the dark.

Format.

I write in past tense, third person. Sometimes I’ll write in the present. I’m not fond of first or second person, I find it confusing. I also format my posts in small text but you don’t have to.

Contact.

Discord is for mutuals only, same goes for tumblr IMs. I prefer discord and it is the best way to reach me.

I prefer my partners to be 18+ for my own comfort. If I happen to make a mistake concerning this, let me know and I'll unfollow. I don't like soft-blocking but I realize it has become a "necessary evil" in the rpc. Many people request to be soft-blocked if you wish to no longer remain mutuals and I respect this.

Conduct.

Don’t nag me to reply. It’s irksome and I’ll get to our rp when I can. Sometimes muses are fickle and only want to do certain threads. I also have a job so I may forget.

Gentle reminders are okay, impatience is not.

Don’t send me or my mutuals hate.

Don’t send me chain asks like “pass this onto x amount of people.” I consider it to be spam and I’ll delete it.

If you wish to reblog a meme, please do so from the source.

Shipping.

I am open to shipping, however there has to be some chemistry. Discussion is also welcome but not always necessary. Certain ships may require some discussion beforehand. Malk is a difficult character to ship with due to his past experiences with abuse so please keep that in mind.
