No, I don’t at all, I honestly love conversations like this- or debates lol. No worries from me :) I’m too chill a person to get mad. Funny story, I’ve only gotten mad once online and I have been in the world of social media for a while now. ANd let’s just say. .. it took a lot to get me that mad- sighs :)

I'm sure this is all true, but in the spirit of not turning this into a space to debate each other's pet peeves and RP styles, Ima leave it alone :)

When rps die before they even start.
I'll have so many great ideas and be really passionate about it, someone will say they want to join, our writing styles match, and then jt just never takes off past the first response. Or first few responses. Or even the character sheets

This 😭😭 there have been times when we don't even get to character sheets.. it's annoying
when that happens I feel like they never wanted to let me into it (if it's oxo) and they were just being polite, that's definitely me being anxious and stuff but it's very very very annoying generally

OK so. Nobody hate me.
I'm apparently just an incredibly selfish human being XP

But yet another pet peeve of mine is that sinking feeling when you're joining a group rp, and you see that one person whose style you don't jive with, or who you just know is going to be the reason the rp dies, ask to join.

Im also about 103.7% sure I've been that person before, which makes it more annoying XD

sighs i know that feeling. . .
I’m typically the reason it dies sobs
But mostly cause I forget. . .
I jive with plenty of styles. The only one I don’t (le gaspe another pet peeve) is when they refer to their character in the first person. . .

@ElderGod-yellowqueen

Ugh I hate first pov. At least for rps. Reading is different

language

Oh god not first person povs they feel like self-inserts half the time

@ElderGod-yellowqueen

Another pet peeve is when like the person I'm rping with does something that give me second hand embarrassment. Like, I might quit an rp over that depending on bad it is. And I don't mean like, oh its in character for your oc. Like that's different. But like when they do something so out of character you just cringe

this will sound extremely dumb. but using all caps for dialogue that it doesn't fit into. Like unless they're screaming at the top of their lungs I think it looks extremely informal and it makes something in my brain go hrgrhhgsmshdhshsm
So small and for me not worth ditching an rp or anything over but it just makes me go a little rabid and feral in the not good way

language

When someone who you know isn’t really good at roleplaying at all (Bad punctuation, doesn’t follow set writing style, no sentence structure, etc) asks to join a group rp. . . and gets accepted.

This is more a thing I do but when ppl you know irl or are really close to someone ask to join an oxo. It just makes me feel nervous

4) Not Communicating (guilty); People who vanish without a trace. If it’s in your bio that you do that, I don’t consider it ‘without a teace’ because you said you do. And that’s technically communicating. I know people AP have real lives (unlike me), but please do try to say ‘hey, I!ma be gone’

I promise, I do have it in my bio- I do disappear for long periods of time.

It (probably) wasn't directed entirely at me, since I did also kinda say I was going to be not roleplaying for a bit at some point in the Chicken Chat-

But I am genuinely sorry about disappearing.

Naw, not you. I always read people’s bio’s before I bug them.
(Unless you’re Davadio, then I just bug you for the sake of bugging you /j)

People who fancy themselves writers but have the apparent reading comprehension of a potato. Especially adults. If you can't follow dialogue between more than 2 people, don't join a group rp. Sorry.

People who refuse to world build together. They either let you do it all, or refuse to take your ideas and do it all themselves.
