this is a tumblog dedicated to all of your secrets you wish you could say but cant.

send your concerns or suggestions to our ask box. submit your anonymous secrets or send in your not-so-secrets in our ask box.

be as anonymous as you want. this blog is just about getting our secrets off our chests, the ones we aren't comfortable with telling our closest online friends, and the occasional bitchrant.

the only real rule we have are no mentioning anyone or site by name or being incredibly obvious about who you are talking about.

saying that your site is going to change the face of the roleplay world is not only really fucking annoying and arrogant, but it’s also a death sentence.

have fun having your site die two days later.

i can’t stand it when people just simply don’t reply to a pm asking if they want to continue our plot or not. seriously? just tell me if you don’t want to, instead of leaving me in limbo trying to decide if i should delete the character from my tracker. it’s not going to hurt my feelings. it’s so fucking immature to just ignore me because you simply don’t want to tell me the truth. what are we, in middle school?

I’m jealous of the power she had over everyone, to make them miss her. I’m supposed to be your best friend, and it hurts that even when I have to leave for weeks at a time you don’t seem to miss me that way at all.

The reason that no one ever replies to your open paras is because, quite frankly, you suck as an rper. You have atrocious grammar, vocabulary and syntax, and your characters are cliched and unoriginal, and your assumptions that everyone wants to be their best friend or wants them sexually is irksome, to put it lightly.

Get a clue. Please.

The Epic list of ‘augh’

* i hate when the layout and genre/plot have nothing to do with each other. mob site? nyc site? wtf do you have skinny female models just posing on your layout? relevancy dudes. show it.nothing kills me more when you can’t tell the genre of the site by the layout. it’s sick and sad if you can’t tell a layout is for a harry potter site. you’re telling me that of all the magical shit and craycray media stuff around harry potter that you can’t put a wand, a snitch, or an owl up in that shit? instead, you get your default model or musician and call it a layout. what does cintia dicker, lana del rey have to do with your site? what does some chick modeling for sears catalogue gotta do with your small town/city site? one of these days those victoria secret models are gonna sue your ass. they do not look like chicago. your pictures for your tumblr/ads for the site you’re advertising/teasing…. tells me nothing. and i refuse to wait around and try to interpret your abstract teaser and flatulent model pose. You know what’s a fun game? looking at rp sites and trying to tell what the genre is just by their layout graphics… without looking at the summary/blurb.

* i’m tired of the seven deadly sins/virtues, especially as member groups. first of all, people aren’t black/white. they’re varied. secondly, it makes more sense to use the seven sins/virtues to represent cities… not constantly involving individuals. why has no one thought of that?

* your layout is ugly. your colors are ugly. your fonts are ugly. the five-head victoria secret model you used on your layout is ugly. did i mention your color scheme makes me wanna vomit? I genuinely think there are certain colors that should not be prominent in a layout. pink is at the top of the list.  the very top.

* spirit rping is the lowest part of rping and i dun care who wants to fight me over it. just write a goddamn fan fiction. hasn’t the rp world evolved enough to move past playing bootlegged rip offs of fandoms? it just perpetuates the whole issue with over popular fandoms taking over via face claims. now they take over via full on characters! ya’ll need to consolidate this spirit rp shtick into one site and stay in a corner. it’s getting ridiculous. if i join one, i’m making a hamtaro fucking gang. just email rp with a special partner and make your fanfic. 50 shades of Disney.

* black people, asians, hispanics, indigenous, etc people exist. and so do homosexuals, asexuals, bisexuals and etc. the fact that i see nothing but white straight people on your canon list makes me wanna dry heave myself to the next rupaul drag race.

* you’re not an elite/literate site. stop acting like a bitch and get down to everyone’s level. you just look like a fool floating on top. your nepotism is showing.

* if you’re going to make a nyc site. please use all the boroughs and realize nyc is not just one area of manhattan. i know it’s big. i live there. but please, for the life of me… stop perpetuating this ‘manhattan is the only real part of nyc’ bs that keeps flying about. also, do you know there’s no wallmart in nyc? also ny has shopping outlets and plazas… but do you know we only have like 4 malls?

* i’m only 22 and to be honest, i would rather not rp with anyone younger than 16. yeaaah. I started out as 14 but I was on neopets bro. Then I moved on at like 15/16. Pg-13 sites aren’t my thing either. 18+ pls. Whenever I see a 13 year old rper on a cbox I step to the left and have the urge to watch power rangers. No lie.

You know something? It kinda hurts that you don’t ever ‘brag’ about me openly, like you do your other partners. I know it’s stupid, but…seeing you talk about they’re your ‘favorite X!’ when you don’t even mention me in passing…kinda sucks. I know I don’t play the same character as them, and that you say I’m ‘your Y’. I also know this is a really stupid and petty thing to be hurt over but…I kinda wish you’d praise me some too, instead of making me feel like your ‘dirty little rp secret’. ^^;;

tl;dr: Anon is upset that her partner doesn’t ever praise her like anon’s partner does other people she rps with…and admits it’s silly to be upset.

“omg this site is so original and i can’t wait for it to open. srsly guys it is going to be the best thing ever it’s just so different and amazing. you all are going to love it and join it and it’s going live forever because me and my fifteen co-admins are super popular in the roleplay world. it’s going to be fabulous.”

oh really.

i find it really disgusting how the only reason you were upset that she left was because of all the pairings you’d lost with her as a result.

not cool dude. really not cool. i thought you were here friend?

I feel like sometimes I can’t relate to a lot of my friends who roleplay. They have multiple roleplay partners and have no qualms roleplaying with other people.

Yet I’ve had the same roleplay partner since 2009. She was my first, she’s been my only, she will be my last. The first time we started roleplaying, we just clicked right away. Not only is she my partner, she’s my best friend, my twin and my soul sister. We may fight a lot and argue quite a bit, but we could never leave each other. We both know that.

So I might not be able to relate to these people who change partners or have multiple partners, but I’m quite thankful I’m not like that. I don’t want to roleplay with anyone else and even though I feel bad turning down my friends who roleplay all the time, I couldn’t roleplay with them if I wanted to. It wouldn’t feel right, it wouldn’t be the same. When you have a partner who is more than just someone you roleplay with, you just have that bond that you can’t create with anyone else.

This is a bit of a long secret/rant so please bear with me.

I roleplay in detailed script and guess what? I enjoy it. When people say ‘if you roleplay in script then you can’t roleplay’ I actually think that’s completely judgmental on someones abilities to roleplay. 

For starters, I could write in those long detailed paragraphs people call ‘roleplaying’ if I wanted to. Why? Because I write creatively on a daily basis. For college, for fanfiction, for a web series I’m creating, for fun, for a novel I’m also planning. My life is nothing BUT writing endless paragraphs upon paragraphs of creative nonsense that sometimes frustrates me to no end.

I get A*s in English and have gotten A*’s in every creative piece of writing I have done since primary school. I have won certificates and awards for being the best English student of my year. I’ve been reading adult literature since I was around about eight or nine years old. My life, soul and passion is English and Creative Writing.

So the next time someone says people who roleplay in ‘script’ are not properly roleplaying, I’d like them to actually think about the person who is actually doing the roleplaying. I want to enjoy roleplaying, not for it to feel like some needless chore that I have to do. My smuts are still detailed and descriptive and mine and my partner’s plots are always complex, thought through and well played out. 

Three different sites have ripped off my ideas without bothering to credit, ask, or even -join- my site when it was open. I heard from so many people about how interesting and unique my site was. But in the end, my site was a failure because no one would actually -join- it, just linger around to steal my ideas, apparently. It happens all the time in this hobby— I’ll see a site use a concept and three or four more will appear blatantly ripping them off. People don’t even try to hide it anymore. I wish there was something I could do about it. I just don’t see the point of making a site if you don’t have something unique to bring to the table.

do you know how hard it was to not insult the hell out of you? really hard actually. i think i was rather diplomatic considering. i hope someone treats you exactly the way you treated me, though to be honest - i wish the someone was me. you don’t deserve to be my friend.

heckhouse WHISPERED:
it's really off putting to see roleplayers fetishizing homosexuality so freely. their characters are almost always steeped in sex and drama. it makes everyone in slash look bad. is it that hard to look past the destructive stereotypes and just make a genuine character? one with aspirations, shortcomings and insecurities?

dear ex-twin xoxo

i can’t understand why people are excited for your sites all the time. not only have you stated that you don’t like actually being an admin, you just like making the site but you ditch it after a max of three days? why even bother getting people excited when you know you’re not interested in being an admin? i wouldn’t mind if your sites were remotely attractive but they’re not. i wouldn’t even mind if you could rp more than two hundred words a post yourself on it, but you can’t. you’re actually everything that’s wrong with the rp world and i hope to god that someone realises it soon. 

why do guests ask if a site is dead/active? i can understand wanting to be assured but this is getting ridiculous. are people incapable of scrolling and reading for themselves?
