PSA -
VILLAINS ARE VILLAINS.
Villains are not a precious little punching bag that’s going to stand there and take your shit and be sassy with their hand on their hip. If you mess with the bull you get the horns – if you push a villain, you will get the wrath of a villain. If your character is rude/disrespectful to a villain, especially one in a high place of power, and the villain lashes out (whether it be verbally or physically) –
THEN YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE UPSET ABOUT IT. WHAT DID YOU EXPECT TO HAPPEN?
Don’t write with villain/cruel/evil characters if you can’t deal with a villain/cruel/evil character being less than nice to your precious cinnamon roll of a character. Surprise! That’s not how this works! If the villain suddenly kills your character without having spoken to you first, then you have absolutely every right to be mad. But if your character receives a verbal lashing or non-lethal physical response that is in character for the villain to give, then you need to deal with it.
I’m also sick of this sense of prerogative way of thinking certain characters hold when it comes to villains. This mindset of, ‘oh this person is evil, bUT OBVIOUSLY THEY’LL LOVE ME AND I’LL BE THEIR SPECIAL SOMEONE THEY WON’T HATE ME OR TRY AND KILL ME.“ NO. STOP THAT. You cannot go into interactions with villains expecting them to absolutely fall in love with your character/be best friends with them. This is why it’s most times excruciatingly difficult to ship/bro-ship with villains. And even if this does happen, you should expect a villain to still be aggressive and/or rude from time to time.
A VILLAIN DOES NOT STOP BEING A VILLAIN JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE IN A RELATIONSHIP.
I’ve written villains for a long time now, and one thing has been made perfectly clear – you will get shit for writing your character too IC and you will get shit for writing your character too OOC. You will be fucking cursed out for your character being aggressive to those who are rude to them, and you will be blasted for writing them being nice even just from time to time. So fellow villain writers – just let your villain flag fly. Don’t fucking listen to people who try and give you shit either way for your portrayal. To those who do not write villains – respect them. Just because your character is sassy and spunky, doesn’t automatically give them the right to try and be disrespectful to someone who is most likely superior to them.
TL;DR IF YOU CAN’T STAND THE HEAT, GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN. IF YOU CAN’T DEAL WITH SOMEONE BEING CRUEL TO YOUR MUSE, DON’T WRITE WITH VILLAINS.
i’m sorry. i’m sorry. i’m sorry. i’m sorry. i’m sorry. i’m sorry. i’m sorry. i’m sorry. i’m sorry. i’m sorry. i’m sorry. i’m sorry. i’m sorry. i’m sorry. i’m sorry. i’m sorry. i’m sorry. I AM SO FUCKING SORRY. it should have been me. i know it should have been me.

“That was really close this time. Too close. Please, promise me you’re gonna listen to me and be more careful in the future.”

burnbooking:
roleplayers are people, not just accounts.
this is something that i’ve been meaning to talk about for a while now. it’s begun to weigh heavily in the community that i write in as well as those of others. it’s the idea that we should take pride in callout culture and completely obliterating accounts. that a callout post needs to be written for any and all transgressions, that one half of a story is gospel, and that roleplayers can be judged as problematic by association.
let’s start with face-saving apologies. the type of apology that a roleplayer will half-assedly give just to have a receipt of one. to appease those they hurt when the harm was intentional and in no way plan on improving themselves as a person. the kind of apology that is issued so they will sympathized with rather than ridiculed. these apologies are absolute bullshit. if you’re going to vague or be a bully or act out, own your behavior. i’m aware this sounds hypocritical coming from a burn book but what happens on the dash is a lot different than sending something to us. when posting on the dash your content is broadcasted to a direct audience. the same community. here, it gets thrown into an aggregate void and spat back out. don’t vague or talk behind someone’s back and believe that it won’t get around to them.
it shouldn’t be a goal to attack someone over petty shit. don’t criticize people for liking or not liking something that isn’t heavily problematic. you can dislike the vampire diaries but write with a stefan salvatore. you can hate damon salvatore as a character and still like the vampire diaries. what doesn’t need to happen is posting harmless opinions on your own blog and then being attacked for them. if someone is so hurt over another rper disliking their fandom then maybe roleplay isn’t for that person. stop being so fucking petty.
to attempt to destroy a persons reputation over hurt feelings is a stupid, selfish thing to do. keep your friend circle bullshit in your friend circle. nobody needs to be put on blast or shunned for actions that were not purposely or outright abusive or otherwise disturbing. you cannot claim to be looking out for your own mental health by seeking to turn people against another roleplayer who may have hurt your feelings. not only is it immature, it puts the other person’s mental health at risk and while some people on this website believe that the world revolves around them, i can assure you that it does not. nobody in this blue hellscape is judge or jury.
finally, it saddens me as well as the other mods to hear constantly from people who have been turned on by their friends and partners and are now having panic attacks because they’re afraid that they’re being slandered in private; that i, as well as many of my close friends, have become too paranoid to interact with certain people after negative experiences with roleplayers similar to them; that we’re still having to hear that people are being called “abusive” and “manipulative” and “toxic” for hurting another roleplayer’s feelings accidentally or handling a situation badly and then having such critical language thrown on their name.
behind every roleplay account is a person with a life and family and friends and feelings. they’re not merely account names to drag through the mud. think before you wild out or gossip or act like an asshole. it’s not all that difficult to have some god damn tact everyone once in a while.

█ ▌—— AMERICAN BEAUTY/AMERICAN PSYCHO LYRIC STARTERS
All of your flaws are aligned with this mood of mine.
I didn’t come for a fight but I will fight till the end.
I love the way you hurt me.
You’re second hand smoke. I breathe you in, but I don’t know what you’re doing to me.
She’s an American beauty.
I think I fell in love again.
We’re the things that love destroyed.
You will remember me for centuries.
I never meant for you to fix yourself.
You look so pretty, but you’re gone so soon.
I could scream forever.
And maybe I bit off more than I could chew.
And in the end I’d do it all again.
I think you’re my best friend.
I’m yours.
It’s our time now if you want it to be.
And I can’t get you out of my head.
You’ll find your way.
I’m the last one that you’ll ever remember.
And I’m trying to find my peace of mind.
Did you ever love her? Or did you never want to be alone?
Fight off the light tonight and just stay with me.
Honey, don’t you leave.
The sweetness never lasts, you know?
Because they took our love and they filled it up with Novocaine and now I’m just numb.
I don’t feel a thing for you.
You and I were fire.
You and I were fireworks that went off too soon.
I said I’d never miss you but I guess you never know.
May the bridges I have burned light my way back home.
I’ll be as honest as you let me.
You are my favorite “what if”. You are my best “I’ll never know”.
And I’m starting to forget.
What did it ever mean to you?
Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean any of it.
I just got too lonely.
No, don’t tell me you’re crying.
Oh, honey, you don’t have to lie.
I wish I’d known how much you loved me.
I wish I cared enough to know.
Do you remember when we drove through the night and we danced?
You were the song stuck in my head; every song that I’ve ever loved played again and again and again.
And you can get what you want but it’s never enough.
I can’t remember just how to forget.
They say we are what we are but we don’t have to be.
I try to picture me without you but I can’t.
I don’t want to remember it all.
And I just need enough of you to dull the pain.
I only appeared so I can fade away.
I wanna throw my hands in the air and scream.
I have been through the wreck but I can string enough to show my face in the light again.
