Jesus christ, I wish to just one day be this pinnacle of wit, horniness, and sacrilege.

(new to the concept of family abolition) so then a "good" family is like a business that treats its workers "fairly," then, i guess? like that hierarchy of boss and employee (or parent and child) still shouldn't have to be in place even if it's working out for this little microcosm in particular, basically, is the thing? because either way capitalism should still be dismantled even if it would make some people a little less comfortable? i think.

v. much so!

not a newbie, but gonna speak as someone with over a decade of tumblr rp experience. my biggest advice for anyone starting out is a two-parter:

Roleplay is communication.

A huge pitfall of this hobby, not just on tumblr but in general, is this weird separation of roleplay from communication or this misunderstanding of where roleplay lies within communication. Roleplay is perhaps one of the most communicative hobbies out there, as its fundamental is based on, effectively, the grown-up version of playing pretend. At the end of the day, you're talking with someone. That's what the hobby is.

What this means is that the standards of communication still apply, and that roleplay is healthier if you step back and consider communicative etiquette. You need to check for boundaries and make your own heard. Always remember that there is a real person behind the screen. Read rules. If you are not interested in things potentially not going your way or having to acknowledge what another person may want out of roleplay, you aren't going to enjoy the hobby. You need to respect the other party's pace, and request respect for your own. Do not assume over-familiarity - mutuals doesn't automatically equal friends, and an rp friend is not the same as a friend who knows your trauma. If you're unsure or don't feel confident, talk it out.

I've noticed overtime that people seem to forget that rp is a form of communication, or, alternatively, that rp is an acceptable substitute of other forms of communication (like the sort of etiquette within an established friendgroup). IMO this has lead to a lot of the drama and stress that Tumblr RP is known for. I think remembering that roleplay is communication, but it's own unique form of communication that requires acknowledgement and respect of the real people engaging in it is critical to having a good rp experience.

2. You've GOTTA curate your own experience.

Tumblr RP is messy. You may feel obligated into following someone back, even if you're not sure about them. You may get overwhelmed if you fill your dash with strangers or feel impulsed to interact with things you don't want to for the sake of appeasing an illusory crowd. If you aren't using tumblr's tools to ensure the rp experience you want, you are going to walk into a lot of unneeded discomfort and maybe drama.

My personal advice: thoroughly vet someone from afar before you follow. Do you like the vibes? Do you have trusted friends you can get a second opinion from? Are you even interested in the other party's writing or character? Really, truly think about it. I promise you, trying to get more interactions is not worth putting yourself in spaces where you are uncomfortable. Be liberal with unfollows and blocking - it isn't an "attack" or an "admission of guilt/wrongness", it's you choosing how to engage the hobby in the way you want to. Filter tags. Consider if there's anything in the hobby that you don't actually like doing, you just feel pressured to.

A strictly curated tumblr rp experience is, frankly, the best tumblr rp experience (imo).

Sorry for the long ask, but wanted to help out by dropping in some RP Veteran advice as it were. Thank you for this blog!

I couldn't have said it better myself.

We shape the people around us just by being alive and shape them more the more we spend time with them. In some ways saying that you like being around someone is saying that you like the shape that them being in your life gives you. I like how you shape me.

Your post makes a lot of sense regarding SCP-5000. I believe it's also implied in other articles though, that 2718 only takes effect if you have knowledge of it and earnestly believe that that is the only possible afterlife. It spreads like a hazardous cognito/memetohazard because people believe that the afterlife will be hellish, which isn't a guarantee. This can further add to the idea that 99% of why 682/682-adjacent things despises humanity is because of bias.

I'm aware! Frankly I just didn't want to fit EVEN MORE rambling in that post haha. I often have to cut down more and more of my thoughts from it to make it even readable, but yeah. 682 is more likely just. Stinky, with a naughty case of confirmation bias. Doesn't let "The Entity" completely off the hook/free of suspicion, but yeah.

Of the 19 hijackers who carried out the Sept 11 attacks:

15 were from Saudi Arabia (a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)

2 were from the United Arab Emirates (also a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)

1 was from Egypt, 1 from Lebanon.

None of the hijackers were from Iraq.

None of the Sept 11 hijackers were Iraqi.

None of the 9/11 hijackers were from Iraq.

Children make up half of the population of Gaza and nearly a million of them are currently displaced. They are forced to take shelter in unsafe buildings and makeshift camps. It is winter in Gaza, so the temperatures are getting colder and it is harder and harder to find warmth and the resources necessary to keep warm. Not even hospitals and schools are safe from bombing. The chicken are not safe from being taken hostage. They do not get enough food or water on a daily basis. The children of Gaza are by definition starving. Over 80% of Palestinian children are suffering from depression. Over 10,000 children have lost limbs in 3 months. They are going through extreme medical procedures without any painkiller or anesthetic. The watch their parents and family die in front of them and then are forced to continue in alone to try to ensure their own safety. And despite the horror that they have to go through on a daily basis, they still are finding joy and hope. They are stronger than every single one of us and if you are able to look at all the images and videos and stories that come out on an hourly basis of what these children are going through and are still not able to take it seriously you are treating them no better than Israel is.
