Out of the really popular pairings in your fandom, what’s your nOTP? hoo boy uh. def wincest. any of the angelcests, too. anything incest at all!!! that seems to be really popular in this fandom and i just Don’t Get Why tbh. What has been the biggest mistake you’ve made since you started RPing? uh, so. i kinda tend to be the sort of person that desperately tries to keep up with trends but isn’t good enough at putting in the effort? so like, i’ll use box themes, but i don’t put in Sweet Graphics. and i’ll make self-promos but they’re somewhat halfhearted. i use formatting but i don’t use extreme formatting. i make my tags pretty but not where i have to c+p weird symbols into them. i guess a big mistake is that i’ve put myself in this position where i can’t backpedal on these things and therefore lose respect, but i also can’t dedicate time and effort and photoshop into properly trying. i’m in a weird in-between bit and i just dislike it i suppose What’s something you really hate seeing on your dash that seems to be popular with almost everyone else? to gratuitously contradict what i just wrote, everything aestheticky. i hate (hate!!!!!) psds. especially because they go super fuzzy when i scroll and it messes with my eyes. i hate the double ampersand thing like why do people do that. i hate themes that are difficult to read (and i know i gotta sort out my own). and i hate the complex tagging system.
this isn’t to try and stop anyone from using these things, btw. it’s just my personal pet peeves.
@everyone PLEASE tag #spn spoilers because it is the tag that Most People use and i literally cannot be bothered to start saving other people’s fancy tags in place of it because of your roleplay aesthetic. also if your tag does not have the word “spn” in then it will! not! block! is it really so hard to just use a normal tag for ONCE like seriously
…… when I see someone on my dash defend the writers for charlie’s unnecessary death.
Charlie’s Death was nothing but manpain fuel and I challenge anybody to tell me otherwise. She died specifically to cause Dean pain to tip him over the edge and send him into a rage. That is the very definition of manpain and it’s a disgustingly lazy and overused plot device in SPN. There were probably a hundred different ways to send him over the edge that didn’t involve killing anybody off, especially since we know that the mark was starting to take over again anyway.
Seeing people say “it was just her time to die” is bullshit, because she didn’t. They could have easily wrote her off as going off to Oz and living happily ever after with Dorothy in S9. I would have been fine with that. That’s a perfectly acceptable ending for her. I and many other people would have been happy with that. There was no real reason to bring her back in S10 except to kill her off, and considering killing off female character is something the SPN writers have been criticized a lot for in recent seasons, is absolutely shitty.
And what’s more infuriating is seeing people quote Jensen at recent conventions and ESPECIALLY from San Diego when he said we were lucky to have her as long as we did. Does nobody remember the convention directly after the episode aired, where he was furious about her death? Where he told an entire room full of people that he’d gone to the writers room when he’d read the script and told them “No.” and exactly how bullshit he thought it was? All the shit he’s saying now is stuff he’s probably being told to say because he was pulled aside after that first convention and told to knock it off because it was bad PR.
I’m sorry I went off on a tangent, I just have a lot of feelings about this.
SINCE I JUST POSTED SOMETHING ESSAY-WORTHY IN SIZE, I’LL KEEP THIS ONE SHORT. racism can happen to white people, sexuality phobia can happen to straight people (though it is rare), and cissexism can happen to men, no matter what Tumblr’s Finest want to think. I LITERALLY JUST THOUGHT “WHAT’S AN OPINION THAT EVERYONE HATES TO HEAR” AND THIS CAME TO MIND TBH
❧ – other websites i’m on
i’m on tumblr, facebook, twitter, poss youtube?? ,,,, snapchat and skype don’t count as sites do they?
✾ – tv series i love
look 2 supernatural tbh
◆ – opinion of you
OK SO. i’m gonna be 100% honest whether you like it or not. when i first saw you, it was just your url on my dash at times — AND I STILL LOVE YOUR URL SO MUCH WHAT?? literally it’s great i’m just. cries — and then i eventually followed and loved your character so much tbh. at times i got a bit unnerved because you’d send me memes that were quite personal for characters that hadn’t met, and i wasn’t sure what you expected of me (AND TBH I DIDN’T ALWAYS ANSWER THE MEMES BUT THAT’S NOTHING PERSONAL SINCE THEY END UP ALWAYS PILING UP AND THEN I HAVE TO DELETE A BUNCH TO BE ABLE TO ANSWER ANYTHING). but seriously you seem like such a lovely person, i promise i love you to pieces AAAND I DON’T EVEN KNOW YOU THAT WELL AT ALL. also i’ve forever in debt for you making me this Rad Theme for my sideblog (pls everyone go check out peaceific’s wonderful theme-making skills)
this is verging on masochism, your obsession with my angry rants. ALSO I’M HAVING TO THINK ABOUT THIS because there are a million things i could (and wanted to) rant about but i’ve forgotten them all :/
UM. i’m gonna go DEEP INTO THE HEART AND SOUL of the roleplay community on this one, since i’m that problematic. i’m going to talk about formatting.
OKAY SO FIRST THING’S FIRST. because of formatting, i’m nervous to do stuff on mobile. i don’t like my icons because i haven’t spent loads of money on downloading photoshop and i haven’t spent loads of time making them look pretty with some psd on them. i feel self-conscious about everything i DON’T do that the general crowd has made their new trend, and then i feel awful about everything i HAVE done trying to keep up, because it puts me under the kind of pressure i don’t want.
let’s be real – 90% of the roleplay community have a hierarchy based on how someone replies to something, and the top of the hierarchy involves BOLDING, ITALICISING, UNDERLINING, PSDS ON ICONS, WATERMARKS ON ICONS, PUTTING SENTENCES INTO COLUMNS, CHANGING FONT SIZES, s p a c i n g out letters, putting && instead of “and”, and my least favourite that i won’t even attempt, the double-tiny writing.
i do some of these. i don’t do others. i understand that this makes me a hypocrite and my opinion is worth 0. BUT I DO SOME OF THESE THINGS BECAUSE I KNOW IF I DON’T, I WON’T APPEAR GOOD ENOUGH FOR SOME PEOPLE. AND I WANT TO BE CONSIDERED GOOD ENOUGH. I WANT TO BE CONSIDERED THE BEST, BECAUSE THAT’S JUST WHO I AM.
i’ve spent my life thinking i was good at writing because everyone around me told me i was good at writing. now, apparently, i don’t need to be able to write. i need to have the money to run photoshop and the time to alter my entire icon collection (or make all my own, because everyone gets so angry about using them from wider sources) and i need the ability to bold and italicise everything in sight.
to be frank about this, sometimes i see the people with the absolute worst grammar / spelling roleplaying and everyone thinks they’re the best because they use the fancy “” symbols and use columned text blocks. i’ve fallen into this trap and i hate it and i hate that (WHETHER EVERYONE WANTS TO ADMIT IT TO THEMSELVES OR NOT) most people will decide on your roleplay quality not by your WRITING ability but by your aesthetic.
