Hello--- it's meee

Hello from the other side!

It's been forever since I last made a blog entry! (And this is the very first entry on my new account so this is kind of like I'm losing my ity)! 

And it's been a while since I was active on rpr with my old account so like I have mentioned in the few rps I'm in, most of you guys don't recognise me anymore! So! As someone who is something of a veteran here, I wanted to share a few things I have watched and noticed regarding rpr and role playing in general. 

Back in my days (oh wow I sound old) there were so many au-roleplays and I myself only join au roleplays for several reasons. I don't feel comfortable keep with non-au but that's a personal thing honestly. What I noticed too is that back then it was perfectly normal for rps to be silent because people mostly rped on walls. Nowadays people are active in rooms and spam rooms and so on and that is fine too! I love this fact honestly! What I don't love about people right now is the constant need to... how do I put this... pressure themselves and others with the way they are creating their posts. There seems to be the trend going on to use words while writing that no "normal" person would ever use while writing. And sometimes a post gets exhausting to read because of the way it is written. It's too fancy, too pretentious and I have to ask myself if people really enjoy role playing like this or if this was born out of the constant pressure to be better, to become a "popular" rper.

And boy do people lose interest fast these days. Back when I was here with my old account it didn't matter if people were answering the posts fast like hell- because let us be honest here for a moment, real life is stressful and horrible and we all have real life friends and family too! But this habit of letting rps die is something awful I have witnessed. 

I miss those fantasy and historical au rps honestly. I miss the old days when people weren't face chasing that much, when it was normal to create characters that have backgrounds to be revealed and not already written into their information boxes. I miss role playing like we did in the old days. 

I think that people should stop pressuring themselves into role playing, it should be an activity to relax and be fun. Create stories that would be fanfictions or novels, create legends that could be movies or dramas. Take time to get to know each other and rp without pressure.

Well I have found people to so that with, have found happiness in one of my rps with one my characters and it truly took a while before this happened. I took my time to let my character fall in love with this person and I couldn't be happier with how they are developing as a couple. I am thankful for meeting this person with my character. I truly am.

But I think we all forgot the true purpose of rping my lovelies: to create stories, to write stories like an author would-- but with the help of several people or only one by your side. Create something you can be proud of and can't help but to go back to read it over and over again. Have fun while writing, challenge yourself while writing, enjoy the writing.

That's basically it. I just wanted to take my blogs ity ♡
