The RP Comfort MemeA meme I made to help people out who may have trouble communicating, or who wants to share their preferences with people before a role-play begins!
Also reusing an old journal again...

RP Comfort Meme
A valuable meme for any role-player!

Role Play Basics
Locations
I am comfortable doing:
- Comment
Ⓞ Chats : generally only for group chat
- Notes
- Forum : never really tried this
ⓄⓄ Skype/LINE : preferable; limit the expression in RP and become a hassle having to save the chat log; perfect for head canon, casual, crack and AU RPs
ⓄⓄⓄ Google Docs : most preferable; saves having to organize chat RP logs later and allow for broader expression in text
- Other
Participants
I am comfortable with:
ⓄⓄⓄ One on one role plays : best and most comfortable ~~~
Ⓞ Up to three people : read below, though sometimes RPing OC and NPC conversation would be necessary if relevant
Ⓞ Up to four people : read below
Ⓞ Five or more people! : it depends; if the RP's focus is told through a single OC's PoV versus having to switch to several OC viewpoints, this can work!
- As big as possible! o<-----<
Post Length
I usually write about:
Ⓞ One or two sentences : for casual rps
Ⓞ One or two paragraphs
ⓄⓄ Two to five paragraphs : usual post length around this range
Ⓞ More than five paragraphs: this happen when things are getting real aka emotional
- A few pages worth
To go along with this part, I personally am flexible in terms of waiting for post replies, people have RL, too, to worry about. However, just be aware that the longer it takes, it may be more difficult it is for me to go back and get myself back in character in order to reply.
I am comfortable role-playing with people who write:
Ⓞ One or two sentences : fine for casual/headcanon/crack
Ⓞ One or two paragraphs : no problemo
ⓄⓄ Two to five paragraphs : generally most comfortable reading with this -- when it makes sense anyways since quality > quantity
Ⓞ More than five paragraphs : in the right moment with the right amount it is /)////-///(\
- A few pages worth
Role-play Requests
I like getting requests from:
- Anyone and everyone at any time! : um, no
- When I ask for role-plays
Ⓞ Anyone in the same group that the character I submitted is in : of course, haha. Just shoot me a msg/note/whatever o u o
Ⓞ From friends and acquaintances
Ⓞ From friends only : always <3
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 : read below
Ⓞ Our character know each other deeply, and I know I can trust the role-player : this and to take it easy and see how things emerge in canon RP without trying to force things to happen; natural progression is best!
- At the first sign of flirting! : nope
- Only if the role-player and I plan it : BIIIIG mistake I made in the past myself; I learned the hard way that this really doesn't work and, in fact, kills my drive to continue RPing
Ⓞ It depends on the character : sometimes certain characters just fundamentally don't mesh well and when that happens, got to learn to let go
If you want to ship with my characters:
- Talk to me about it from the start : RP doesn't always have to be about shipping (and is probably best when that isn't what's set as the focus to begin with)
Ⓞ Talk to me about it once our characters know each other : to be honest, the best way is to let things develop naturally at first and see how it goes with no labels or promises; promises tend to bring me pressure... if I have to conform a certain way to make the RP fit, then the RP will cease being something that is fun and become something stressful
- Talk to me about it once they both have some feelings for each other : read above
- 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 : THIS since no relationship is the same; each have their advantages and consequences
Smut
When my characters gets intimate, I prefer:
- To skip the act entirely
Ⓞ To write the build up, but skip the act : when it's suitable
Ⓞ To write the act only if it is very special, but otherwise skip it : this, but it's also fine with me if the other mun want to imply and skip everything
- To write the act all the way through.
Romantic Artwork
When it comes to artwork depicting our relationship please:
- Do not post it at all without talking to me
Ⓞ Post it if it is cuddles and hugs : only if in character (IC)
Ⓞ Post it if it is kisses : only if IC
- Post it if it is much more
Ⓞ Do not post it at all if it depicts sexual acts! : I'd prefer if it's something sensual or endearing instead! Oh and OC domestic moments...
- Do not post it where I can see it, but draw what you like!
Basically if my OC and yours don't have a romantic relationship or inclination in the canon rp to begin with, please keep the drawing platonic to avoid making things awkward
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 : uh, please don't ;;;;;;;;;;;
If you are going to do something violent, please:
- Don't do it at all
Ⓞ Talk to me about it first : anything above mild violence
Ⓞ Surprise me! : I don't like surprises unless it's below mild violence
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! : ALL THE FEELS (ones that are IC, anyways, and especially ones from canon rp !!! )
BONUS — Other Relationships
Not original template but expanded part by
Van-Reille| Non-Ship Relationships
I like it when my character has _______ with/over another character:
ⓄⓄⓄ A friendship : naturally occurring or per-established are always nice ///-///
ⓄⓄ A rivalry : have never really had OC having this kind of relationship with others except in head canon but I think it could be fun
ⓄⓄ Enmity : same as rivalry
ⓄⓄ Superiority/Inferiority
ⓄⓄ Civility
ⓄⓄ History
When establishing relationships between my character and someone else’s:
Ⓞ I’m open to others’ suggestions : it depends on the context but it can work!
Ⓞ I would rather let the role play determine relationships : sometimes it's just nice to see what goes
- I like random/surprise relationships : ha.ha...um..not really ;;;;
| Family Relationships
When creating family ties between my character and someone else’s:
- I’d rather not.
Ⓞ I would like to headcanon family ties but would keep their relation details open-ended.
- I would like to headcanon family ties with specifics.
I like my RPs and ideally would like it to be a balanced mixture of serious and silly moments. Above all else I seek RP flow with help of the mun and adore focusing on character and story development (as opposed to shipping) and I want myself and the Mun I RP with to be able to have fun with it~!!
