I started roleplaying at that time when Twitter K-Idols RP worlds are rare. In fact, I could consider ours to be the first one. And I would like to tell a story from which one could learn from.
So, here it goes. I started roleplaying about 3 years ago.. So there was this independent RP world that had no base account. Well, you see. No base account means no rules so. Kaboom. Then, I was clueless. For all I thought that I had to do then was to tweet and keep my account active. I joined because I was.. bored. I could say that again for you. I joined as a SM member group. Not mentioning which for my own sake. And my group members came one by one. Time flew by and I went online there 24/7. I never stopped tweeting and I always talked with the co-roleplayers I have there. Then, my hyungs started to have a couple. I thought I should have one too. I mean, it won't hurt right? But I was wrong. I started the relationship with the thought of what I was benefiting from it... which is still a mistake I can't get over with. A relationship should be a two-sided love wherein both sides get satisfaction from the other. Because of my foolishness then, I started to lose quite some of the friends I made. And I made it sure I learnt from that mistake. And the lesson is, to not to become rash in making relationships. Take your time and always make her happy.
After a year and a couple of days of remaining true to only one rp, I started joining new rp-w that just popped out. I joined this fiction world and I earned new friends. I was happy. But then the rp places I joined keep on closing. Oh, for goodness's sake. I mean seriously. We switched about 5 times up until this date.
I don't understand why. Why the same mistakes happen from time to time. The rp closes either because of the so-called plagiarism or because a member bad-mouths us. And that hurts a lot. I've been trying to keep myself from ranting in those accounts, to be honest. But these days, I just can't shut up anymore. Really. Who has the right to judge a person. Nobody is perfect and I am sure everyone IS highly aware of that. But no. He isn't. They are not. There are just these roleplayers who don't care about others' feelings. They voice out their feelings bluntly as if no one will get hurt and that was never the essence of roleplaying. Roleplaying is done for fanservice. But these days. It's just the exact opposite. Those roleplayers unknowingly ruin their idol's image and I hope for it to stop. But damn, that is impossible.
Can I just rant for a while and talk sense to new roleplayers... I have been roleplaying for nearly 2 years in Twitter, entirely as Kpop Idols and it sucks to see how the RP worlds are so ruined these days. Maybe not all, I salute those who can control their agencies but to those who don't. Let me rant at you. I know, I know, a perfect rp-w never existed. There will always be that person who is too much. Too much drama, lovey-dovey, rants, etcetera, etcetera. They are not aware that by doing such things little by little, they ruin someone's image in the eyes of the people they co-rp with. Clueless people. Let me sigh at you.
Because for all I know, a roleplaying account is not made for ranting, making dramas, having relationships, and others of the like. It has always been, or at least it used to be, for fanservice. The fanservice our idols can't do. We do them. Why? For fan satisfaction and for fun, but fun- not to the point when we just troll around all the time. Do not misunderstand.
One by one, I shall talk sense into you guys. First to the drama queens, let me tell you this: You are not in an opera. You are not joining a rp-w to get a damn Academy Award for being such a drama queen. You should be here with the thought of wanting to become a good roleplayer. And a good roleplayer does not make dramas. Well, if necessary then go. But never go overboard. Pity the people around you.
Second, to the lovey-dovey peepur. I know you love each other (do you? /wiggles eyebrows;) but, damn it. Stop spamming the damn timeline with your lovey-dovey omg. Can you not live a day without showing affection? Are real life couples like that? Do they spend every single minute of the day kissing, hugging etc? NO. They have social lives too. And real life-- lives. Well maybe, a little lovey-dovey is fine. But then again, never go overboard.
To the ranters. High five. I am one of you guys. But- there are two types of ranters. Those who rant to talk sense into people and those who rant for the sake of ranting. AKA those who rant whenever they feel like voicing out their thoughts even though when it's not necessary. I give you one advice. And that is to chill. Cool down. Though, if you can't just click that sign out button and walaah- you are out of that world.
Being a roleplayer in twitter since 2011, It hurts to see how roleplay worlds just get so disorderly and uncontrollable. Roleplayers tend to leave as if it does not matter when it actually does. When they have problems, they run away from it. How? They deactivate when that's never how all problems should be solved. Because when you just runaway from your problems, not facing them in any way, the problem will never disappear. It will remain in your mind and heart.
