I just think my last attempt to get into RPing left a sour taste in my mouth

well tbh. I think that whole premise was doomed from the start

Im just like

An old Rp fogey

Who is like "back in my day"

>we're an rp set in the twenties!
>but we're going to be really really restrictive and realistic about what KIND of characters can be there in an environment where mostly anime characters are played

It's just like. I get where people were coming from but at the same time I was like "if this is how it's gonna be then I'm not gonna bother"

Even if I changed things to make things okay for them, I would've already felt ousted and unwanted

it just, spoke a lot of lowkey insanejournal elitism to me, what did they think was gonna happen if they were like "well. your character HAS to be American, it's not realistiiic for a Japanese person to be there"

sorry, I was thinking about it when it happened like yeah you messed up too but it's not like they gave you any room

It just came down to what they considered erasure and I was like I get it and I don't feel like arguing now

And it cost me a good friendship that I'm still trying to recover

But I've just been wanting to rp again but I'm afraid of doing something that I'm not aware isn't okay in this era of roleplaying

weird when they were the ones who were like let's do SUPER REALISTIC HISTORICAL RP

you just can't do that in dwrp

Right now I have no job and I'm not in school so I have all this free time and the reason I haven't really looked into RPing gain is because I'm worried and also once I am working and going to school I might not have time anymore

could just psl?

Is that like one on one?

I don't know terms anymore

ye it stands for private storyline

it can be one on one or with multiple friends

Log style was always my weakness

I think if I found a game I was comfortable in, I'd wanna play Link or Wilbur again

I literally haven't picked up any new characters

But I think both those characters are ones i would feel comfortable playing in almost any setting

Cause Wilbur is the kind that would be accepting of whatever he ends up in

And people could hold Link's hand and walk him through his new life

Sit him down and be like okay you're doing this now
