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!
I would also like to extend my gratitude towards the person responsible for this meme.
Stolen from:
Thank you saffro-bunch~
I HIGHLY recommend doing this if you rp.
RP BASICS
RP Methods
I am comfortable doing:
x Comment: No. I've never liked comment rps- it's bad enough I curse, meaning I can't really share my account with family even if I wanted to. Anyone stumbles upon an rp of mine = Cringe-City for all involved. (Or maybe just me)
I could hide comments... but that'd be kinda conspicuous.
x Chats: I didn't like DA's chat interface all that much. I still am not very accustomed to the commands yet. I hope to use it someday.
✓ Notes: Oh yeah, sure. Please do note me if interested!
x Forum:
/ Skype:
x Google Docs:
✓ Other: Chatzy (Hardly Used), and Discord (for Logging).
OOC/Headcanoning/RP Planning Methods
✓ Skype: Yeah, maybe if I used it enough? Maybe if someone under my contacts would respond?
x Line:
✓ Discord: For those of you who don't have it- at least consider getting it.
Please.
x Twitter.
Participants
I am comfortable with:
✓ One on one role plays:
✓ ✓ ✓ Up to three people: I can't stress this enough. YES.
✓ ✓ ✓ Up to four people: THIS IS EVEN BETTER THAN THE PREVIOUS.
✓ Five or more people: Sure.
/ As big as possible: Maybe someday.
RP Style
I am all right with:
✓ Lit/Para: Para is Paragraph? More than fine- actually better then a few sentences.
/ Script: A scripted rp? Where's the fun in that?
Post Length
I usually write about:
✓ One or two sentences: When tired/brainfarting.
✓ One or two paragraphs: Yeth.
✓ Two to five paragraphs: This sounds about right!
x More than five paragraphs: I don't think my poor brain would be able to handle.
x A few pages worth: My attention span can only last for so long.
I am comfortable role-playing with people who write:
/ One or two sentences.
✓ One or two paragraphs.
✓ Two to five paragraphs.
x More than five paragraphs.
x A few pages worth.
RP Speed
I usually reply:
✓ ASAP (within minutes) after my partner's post: I am not the fastest of typers and can take 1-5 minutes maximum to "set out the scene". Most of the time my replies don't take too much time. It varies as it gets later and later- It may eventually come to the point where I post very little material for one to work off of.
✓ within an hour: Typically yes whenever AFK. Reasons vary.
✓ within the same day: Certainly- unless in some rare situation.
✓ within the same week: If I haven't responded to you within a few days, I'm either AFK, completely offline, or am being kept very busy.
✓within the same month:
✓longer than a month.
/ at random/variable times: That really depends on my partner's preferences. What if I post an they're all like "WALL- I thought we finished!" If this were to happen, this would be me breaking a break.
I expect my partner to reply:
/ ASAP (within minutes) I find it stupid how internally impatient I am when it comes to a partner's response. XD
✓ within an hour.
✓ within the same day.
✓ within the same week.
/ within the same month. (I expect they wouldn't bother- really, by this time my patience would have worn paper-thin.)
x longer than a month.
x at random/variable times: The only exception to this is the establishment of a break.
RP Reminders
I am okay with getting reminders to reply to an RP:
/ when I've mentioned I got something going on irl.
/ when there is a deadline for the RP submission: Ok, as in recognizing a person's rp peeves? Sure, I'll do what I can, though with someone insisting a deadline on me, that sorta drains the enjoyment out of rping, especially when I'm under an AFK matter that requires my undivided attention.
✓after 5 or 10 or 15 minutes.
/ after an hour.
x within the same day.
✓ the next day.
✓ if I haven't replied in a full week: Try not to be rude please, even if you're and inpatient ass like me. (Though I'll understand your feelings) I'm probably on a leave of online absence.
- if I haven't replied in more than one week or longer: I'll try to get back to you onto why I've been unable to post. In cases such as these, I'm not online.
I tend to remind people to reply to an RP:
x when there is a deadline for the RP submission. Deadlines are fucking stupid. So don't worry about that.
✓after 5 or 10 or 15 minutes. Just once as I'd try my best not to bother.
/ after an hour.
/ within the same day.
✓the next day.
✓ if you haven't replied in a full week.
✓ if you haven't replied in more than one week or longer: Out of concern primarily. My imagination would be ill-informing me of your potential demise and would be overexagerating about what the hell happened.
Role-play Requests
I like getting requests from:
✓ Anyone and everyone at any time: Yes, please do. Just know I can decline- though would most likely get back to you when able to rp.
✓ When I ask for role-plays.
✓ From friends and acquaintances: Mostly with friends that I know would be willing, though I'm open to acquaintances.
x From friends only.
Corrections
I am comfortable getting corrections when:
✓ I missed something in your/someone else's post: I'm fine with getting corrected on something I didn't catch. Though it's not really what you say, it's how you say it. Say it wrong, and I'll get, not visibly, but internally butthurt. Just how butthurt depends on how it was phrased. (If you you dont want to sugar-phrase? It PAINS me to say this- try to add an emoji or something. Like so [:3])
And honestly, when someone overlooks something when rping with me I set it aside and may casually adress it later. (This varies depending on whatever you had missed)
I'll make it as un-awkward and painless as I possibly can when informing you what you had overlooked/misinterpreted. That's how I'd want it anyways.
(P.S. I'm a wuss. Sub-Stereotypical Female. Ovaries. Estrogen. X^L)
✓I missed something about your/someone else's character: See previous please.
/ It's realistic/factual. ↑ :L ↑ (Le Paragraph. Also this actually that one form of correction that really does piss me off. I'm sorry current/potential rp partner. ;( )
✓ Other. I am NOT comfortable with getting things wrong. I never am, but if you need to, do tell me in a polite manner. Just because I do not like it doesn't mean that you should not tell me. I'm just saying that I might be ashamed or not feel like rping for a bit after I've made a mistake. I'm just a wuss like that, sadly.
(I declined to add my own input on here out of the characteristics in which me and
Rinny-Kins have in common when it comes to being corrected. I hope you don't mind Saffron.)
x Never.
Expectations
I expect my RP partner to:
/ Have read my character app before we RP: If one of the character is out, it would be nice for them to read it, but it is certainly not necessary. I usually provide info anyways.
(Again, same Saff. And I may just be getting thumb-lazy. Not everyone does memes from a desktop gurl.
)
/ read as much of my character app as is reasonable to go on before we RP: That would be very lovely indeed- though obviously this isn't a requirement. It'd just be nice.
/ read more of my character app as it becomes relevant/necessary.
ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS
** Important: Communication is the key to a real life relationship, it shouldn't be abandoned for a fictional on either! Be sure to talk to your partners when considering romance!
(Fuck. That's gonna be a little awkward if I do decide to...)
Shipping
I am comfortable shipping my characters:
/ Never.
✓ Our character know each other deeply: Ew. I dislike how deeply was substituted for "very well" or "profoundly". MMH OMG WTF TMI.
✓ Our character know each other deeply, and I know I can trust the role-player.
/ Only if the role-player and I plan it: Depends- I'd like a heads-up though do like surprises in this field. I'd prefer us being as realistic as possible with shipping.
✓ It depends on the character.
If you wanted a cannon ship to sail between our characters, I'm alright with a character hinting at it, and may even do the same with mine. (Though do be informed I'm a turtle when it comes to suggesting/asking for a ship)
Same applies to non-cannon ships.
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: Probably my top preference here.
✓ Talk to me about it once they both have some feelings for each other.
✓ Talk to me about it when they finally decide that they want to go beyond hugging: Please do.
Until it is official, don't say it is please- and thanks~!
Speed
When shipping my characters, I like the romance to happen:
✓ Swift as lightning! (Specifically for non-cannon)
/ Fast, but not super fast. (Potentially for Cannon, talk with me about it.)
✓ Happens in about three months.
/ Slow and steady wins the race!
/ Slugs know what's up! (Depends on the shipping and/or characters. Chat with me about it!)
/ My relationships know no speed. They happen if they happen.
Cannon=Realism
Non Cannon=Fantasy
Smut
When my characters get intimate, I prefer:
/ To skip the act entirely: I can imagine this as being the option if I'm shy/uninspired/not in the mood/tired/brainfarting. Otherwise -insert pervy grin face here-
If I have knowledge you being uncomfortable with it, we can skip, no problem.
/ 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: Sorry guys- But I'm perverted.
Romantic Artwork
When it comes to artwork depicting our relationship please:
/ Do not post it at all without talking to me. Tell me first, otherwise it's fine I guess. But you'll have to credit me and mention that it is not a canon ship (Unless we have agreed to make it canon).
✓ Post it if it is cuddles and hugs.
✓ Post it if it is kisses.
✓ Post it if it is much more: Depends on the ship, but usually sure thing ^u^ Long as you don't get kicked off of dA for it lol
x Do not post it at all if it depicts sexual acts! (OR AT LEAST IF IT DOESN'T MEET MY FLUFF LIMITATION -insert rule listings here- LIEK, WITHIN THE REASONING OF DA'S POLICY ON PRON POSTS)
x Do not post where I can see it, but draw what you like! A part of me wants to follow the "What I don't know won't hurt me" way of thinking, but for now just keep it where I can see it please. And no hardcore. KEEP IT PG-13 THANKS)
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!!
(Which also applies to the smut bit.)
Violence
When it comes to violent situations, I am comfortable with:
/ Verbal arguments are welcome: I added the slash because I once had a character correct my character about a hole in what they had been saying- I was unaware onto how space wouldn't exist without time, (or something similar) the obviousness of that making sense angering me because I couldn't understand how that was true due to anger and butthurtness at the time.
Otherwise yeah, I welcome verbal fights.
✓Mild violence, such as sparring, slapping, light mutilation, accidental hitting/falling upon.
✓Strong violence, such as heavy mutilation, torture, anything life-threatening.
If you are going to do something violent, please:
✓Talk to me about it first: If you want. Depending on how gorey exactly- if it involves my character getting split in half, please do ask me first? X^D
- Surprise me!: Yea boi!
- Only if it's within context! Awright.
Dramatic Artwork
- Do not post any dramatic scenes that that happened between our characters.
✓ Talk to me about it before posting!
✓ Post what you like!
OTHER
Touching
I am okay with my characters being touched if:
✓ It's not romantic/sexual.
✓ It's not violent.
✓ It's something that usually happens
/ You check with me first.
✓ It depends on the character.
I'll tell you from the get-go if the character I chose likes being touched, but most of the time it's cool.
(Text Plagiarism- GAHH!)
General Artwork
I am fine with art being done of my characters:
✓ if it's IC. (Feel free to feel free to do what you'd like- though I'd prefer if you did check with me first. It'd be a little weird for me seeing a dick like Altekam act as Benevolent as Xolan, and vice versa, DEPENDING.)
✓ if you don't know me/barely know me. Ask me then.
✓ if you are my friend.
✓ if you ask me first.
x only if it's a finished/polished piece. (My shit's messy as messy gets, so checking this off would make me a hypocrite.
Triggers:
- Thou shall try not to make Impolite Factual Corrections
- Thoe shall try not to remind me to post every passing 5 minutes
- Thou shall not Nitpick
- Thou shall not commit Character Puppeteering
- Thou shall not harbour Completely Impervious Mary-Sues/Gary-Stus in my presence
- Thou shall not create Rushed posts presenting vague material to work off of (disregard if rper is worn out)
- Thou shall not make Single-Sentenced Starter Posts (Because I'll make an even shorter one)
- Thou shall not assume rp involves cybersexting exclusively and attenpt to do sexes/yiff without request (pleeeeeeeease.)
- Thou should be aware that I could call the rp off anytime (and would probably inform you of the reason(s) why in due time)
- Thou may want to elaborate when necessary- one word answers don't sit well with me (though this varies depending on the given subject)
- AND THOU SHOULD NOT BE INTIDATED BY THESE TRIGGERS- I'm pretty understanding of one potentially being so. (Because I probably would be put-off)
Seriously.
I'M A FRIENDLY FUR-FAG.

When it comes to crack, I'm okay with:
✓ crack in general.
