also unrelated it’s really nice seeing an infp be portrayed in a semi-cool, almost hero kind of way, even if the majority of it is bravado. Especially considering we’re mostly characterized as the caregiver or teacher and never the hero. So uh- thanks, dude! keep up the rad blog :)

this is the sweetest thing ever omfg!! thank you

you do know this is a roleplay blog for the character dave strider from the popular webcomic homestuck hosted on mspaintadventures.com right

hey no problem!! rping is a lot of fun and for the most part everyone in the tumblr rp community is super chill, youll be in good hands

(heres the homestuckrpdirectory if you need help getting started)

• dont assume that your character and another persons character are in the same place
• dont roleplay on posts that dont belong to you
• dont god mod; aka dont make your character overpowered for no reason, dont give your character the upper hand all the time, dont make your character the center of attention/a victim all the time - trust me on that one, dont have your character “know” things about another character that your character shouldnt know, dont “control” other characters or make decisions about what the other character is doing without talking to the roleplayer!!
• remember that what a character does or thinks isnt necessarily what their roleplayer would do or think!! make the distinction between ic and ooc
• whether or not its “ic” for your character, tag nsfw and common triggers like blood gore death etc (or state that you wont be tagging them)
• this goes with god modding but its very important: dont make any sort of permanent change to another rpers character without their ooc permission (i.e. dont wound them, etc)

some tips:

• dont make too many ooc posts!! this is a common pet peeve of rpers
• make greeting posts when other roleplayers follow you, it helps break the ice and gets the ball rolling
• ask games are really good ways to start interacting with other rpers too
• get a theme thats readable, youll be making a lot of text posts
• dont be afraid to reread pesterlogs of your character to freshen up, it really helps if youre getting off track

good luck!!

ok so a couple of months ago i had planned to make dave commit suicide and i talked for a while on my personal blog about how i was going to execute that

but then i realized that i would have to warn all of my followers here in advance about it to be safe and etc etc and it ended up seeming like a lot more work than i initially wanted to do!! but

a lot of the characterization work/actual serious roleplaying i do for dave never sees the light of day since it happens in private and my dave is really fucking depressed and idk under the read more theres this one conversation i found saved in my drafts from a Pretty Important Day

i feel like i should publish it because it kind of shows you what dave and john struggle with in private and how they interact when theyre alone

(theyre sad kids)
