RP Comfort Meme

Posted 5 years, 10 months ago by YourLoveOnly

My RP Comfort Meme. 

A valuable meme for any role-player!

Come display your comfort levels so your role-play partners are aware of what they can do, and of what they should avoid! A healthy relationship between role-play partners is the key to a good time!

While this meme shows the basics, please remember to communicate with your role-play partners!

Role-play Requests
I like getting requests from:

- When you're in a RP world I'm also in. 
- From friends and acquaintances.

Role-play Pace
I usually reply within 24 hours.
When I'm slow, I tend to reply within 3 days.
When I'm really really busy, I will reply withing 1 week.

I prefer that people reply...
- Immediately.

I tend to remind people to reply...
- If I feel like I'll lose grasp on the RP if the RP doesn't stay active. 
- If 7 days have passed since the last post. 

I don't mind you correcting me/asking me to change a post:
- I made a typo  (unless there's a bunch and it really messes up the message/intention of the post)
- I missed something in your/someone else's post 
- I missed something about your/someone else's character 
- It's realistic/factual 
- You're unable to come up with any in character response causing the RP to stall 
- A lot of IC time has already passed and the RP has already moved on 

Expectations:
- I expect us to chat regularly about our RL and other things outside of RP 
- I expect us to bring up IC/RP concerns OOC and discuss them together 
- I expect us to pick some kind of plot or brainstorm ideas for the RP before it starts 
- I expect us to determine the outcome of a RP upfront (i.e. the result of a fight, predetermining two characters will fall for each other etc) 
- I expect each of us to read the profiles of characters in the RP (at least the basics like personality and summarized history) 
- I expect us to read previous RPs involving each other's characters

Romantic Relationships
** Important: Communication is the key to a real life relationship, it shouldn't be abandoned for a fictional one either! Be sure to talk to your partners when considering romance!

Shipping
I am comfortable shipping my characters:
- Never. 
- Our character know each other deeply. 
- Our character know each other deeply, and I know I can trust the role-player. 
- At the first sign of flirting! 
- Only if the role-player and I plan it. 
- It depends on the character. 

If you want to ship with my characters:
- Talk to me about it from the start. 
- Talk to me about it once our characters know each other. 
- Talk to me about it once they both have some feelings for each other. 
- Talk to me about it when they finally decide that want to go beyond hugging. 

Speed
When shipping my characters, I like the romance to happen:
- Swift as lightening! 
- Fast, but not super fast. 
- Happens in about three months. 
- Slow and steady wins the race. 
- Slugs know what's up! 
- My relationships know no speed. They happen if they happen. 

Smut
When my characters gets intimate, I prefer:
- To skip the act entirely. 
- To write the build up, but skip the act. 
- To write the act only if it is very special, but otherwise skip it. 
- To write the act all the way through. 

Dramatics
** Important: Always be sure to communicate with your partner individually if you think you are about to go outside their comfort zones even just the slightest bit!!

Violence
When it comes to violent situations, I am comfortable with:
- No violence at all! 
- I'm fine with verbal arguments! 
- Some violence, like a paper cut, or an accidental elbow to the face. 
- Mild violence, such as punching, kicking, hair pulling. 
- Violence, such as stabbings. 
- Beyond violence, such as torture and more. 

If you are going to do something violent, please:
- Don't do it at all. 
- Talk to me about it first.  (if it's strong violence or beyond)
- Surprise me!  (if it's within the verbal/some/mild violence levels mentioned before)

Artwork

When you post general art work of my characters, I'm fine with...
- Out of character. 
- You don't show it to me at all. 
- If you haven't at least looked at my OC's profile 
- If you don't know me and haven't RPed with me. 
- If you know me and my character. 
- If I commission the piece. 
- If you RP with me and the character you're drawing.
