now, here’s a problem i have with the rpc lately…

i always see mutuals stating they need to ‘tackle’ their drafts, or say they need to work extra hard during their free time to just push out due replies.  i, myself, say & do the same thing —— & while roleplaying, yes, is between at least two people with keeping a thread going… i can’t help but wonder—

have we, at least myself, lost sight of what’s important by roleplaying?

most of us spend all of our time on here TRYING TO CATCH UP.  in a way, forcing ourselves to write out replies, that we at times might not be happy with.  i know i’m guilty of that, anyway.  at the end of the day… if we’re stressed over catching up, posting stuff we’re not proud of  ( at times ), constantly trying to balance between real life & piling up drafts, allowing ourselves to work on writing to threads we might not be inspired for… WHY DO WE DO IT?

i feel like the rpc, & the mindset of us as a whole, needs a change.  if any of you is like me, you might get what i’m trying to say!  don’t force yourself to feel like you need to catch up all the time.  post stuff you are proud of!  do what you’re inspired & motivated for.  don’t push yourself to respond to things here every chance you can get— take some time for yourself, as well!  this way of structure is… kind of unhealthy tbh.

i hate the feeling of constantly “needing to catch up” & it makes me not enjoy roleplaying as much.  believing that our friends / mutuals / rp partners will grow to resent us due to owing a reply for so long which can be SO ANXIETY INDUCING.  can we all learn to just do what we find most fun without being so stressed over our slowness or pickiness??

Sometimes, it’s not a lack of muse or short attention span or lack of time. Sometimes we’re too afraid to write out the reply we had in mind in fear it’s inadequate or written too fast. Then we send replies days, or even weeks, later that we had thought out in our mind since the beginning.

//I see a whole lot of posts going around these days about whether a character is “good” or “evil” and what fellow fans should do and say as a result. The “should”-ing ranges from statements as malicious as those that morally judge and police other fans for liking a character (occasionally justifiable, if said character is, for instance, a sexual predator of children), to statements as benign as the witty retaliation “I love this trash character, don’t try to stan them, don’t call them a cinnamon roll, they’ve done  tons of things wrong and that’s why I like them!”

I posit an alternative mode of character categorization that exempts consumers of fandom media from moral or ethical evaluation of any kind: is the character INTERESTING, and can you RELATE to the character?

Because a cast of characters functions not because they are all good, or all evil, or some good, or some evil.  They function because we can IDENTIFY WITH THEM MEANINGFULLY, and ESPOUSE THEIR MOTIVES: OR BECAUSE WE CANNOT.   This is why people like the characters they like, write the characters they write. Sure, embedded in that relatability is whether you and the character SHARE a moral code, but moralilty and ethics are actually a SUB-component of  RELATABILITY VERSUS DISCONNECT. 

There is also a whole rich and wonderful world of discourse (despite the …oddly negative connotation it has via new Tumblr fads) in which issues of social, political, racial, ethnic, sexual orientation, and other dimensions of audience vs character identity can be explored, when you look at it this way. 

Let your arguments in fandom be guided that way. I honestly think that 9 out of 10 times it will make fandom more enriching, and more enjoyable, and discussions therein far deeper.  And it bypasses the whole “if you like x character and not y character, you must be a bad person” thing.
