RP Comfort Meme

I saw do this, so I wanted to do it too!

EDIT had a nice key for her comfort meme thing, so I'm borrowing it:

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!


Key:
✓ : DEFINITELY, HECK YEAH.
~ : Maybe / Up for Discussion
✘ : No thank you.

Locations
I am comfortable doing:

- Comment (✓)
- Chats (✓ )
- Notes (~)
- Forum (~)
- Skype (✓)
- Google Docs (~)
- Other (✓)

My fastest replies are on skype and discord--though I'm still new with using discord so bear with me if my typos are bothering you. I think my keyboard or the pc just lags with it a bit but otherwise it's pretty fun. I have both on my phone along with dA so really, I can quickly reply at my earliest convenience. As for docs, I tend to forget they're there so you'll have to ping me.


Participants
I am comfortable with:

- One on one role plays. (✓)
- Up to three people. (✓)
- Up to four people. (✓)
- Five or more people! (~)
- As big as possible! (✘)

I get pretty intimidated in rping in a large group unless it's a large group of my closest friends. I'd rather do an rp session with a few people than say like, a massive huge rp. I am flexible on huge rps if there's an rping order but it tends to lose me after awhile because everyone is everywhere and it gets hard to keep up.


Post Length
I usually write about:

- One or two sentences. (✓)
- One or two paragraphs. (✓)
- Two to five paragraphs. (✓)
- More than five paragraphs. (~)
- A few pages worth. (✘)

First and foremost--I try to match my rping-partner with whichever roleplaying style they use, be it lit or script.

However, I haven't been very comfortable with lit style rps since I was in 8th grade--yeah... I know. Long time. Script rps are a tad easier for me because it's something I can easily reply without having to think too hard about everything that's going on in the scene. Plus, it was a lot popular when I got heavily into rping  back in the day. I've noticed lit rps are becoming more of a thing again, so I'm trying my best to keep up. Sometimes, though, there are a few characters I have that don't have much to say so it becomes challenging in a good way to give a good reply but by that point it becomes a scenery rp rather than dialogue. Personally, because of work schedules and my off-and-on sleeping habits, headcanoning is easiest. Straight and to the point. But headcanoning also leads to rps and vice versa.

_{Also I'm a weenie at starting rps or instigating them, so yeah...}


I am comfortable role-playing with people who write:

- One or two sentences. (✓ )
- One or two paragraphs. (✓ )
- Two to five paragraphs. (~)
- More than five paragraphs. (~)
- A few pages worth. (~)

As long as the reply is interesting and easy to work off of, I'm comfortable with the length. I do get overwhelmed if you suddenly throw multiple paragraphs at me without warning beforehand--so I'd like to talk about what kind of rping we'd do before actually rping. At least get the ground rules out of the way so I know what to expect. XD



Role-play Requests
I like getting requests from:

- Anyone and everyone at any time! (✘)
- When I ask for role-plays. (~)
- From friends and acquaintances. (✓ )
- From friends only. (✓ )

Friends that I know well are always welcome to rp with me. Newly made friendships and cordial acquaintances are definitely included. But strangers and passer-bys, I get very wary and concerned at because you never know who's out there and who's rping into what. Odds are if I come and ask you for a roleplay, though, you've already reached buddy-status.



** 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!

Shipping
I am comfortable shipping my characters:

- Never. (✘ - obviously, lol)
- Our character know each other deeply. (✓ )
- Our character know each other deeply, and I know I can trust the role-player. (✓ )
- At the first sign of flirting! (~)
- Only if the role-player and I plan it. (✓ )
- It depends on the character. (✓ )

I'm an unashamed shipper, but I usually break out the shipping flag at other people's ships. Not my own, because I consider those to be a bit private and might wanna discuss first with the intended party I want to ship with. IT's all fun and games throwing out random names out there, but crack doesn't become canon until there's understanding about what's going on and how the character works in it.

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.
- Talk to me about it once they both have some feelings for each other. (✓ ✓ )
- Talk to me about it when they finally decide that want to go beyond hugging. (✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ )

Majority if not all my characters once they're created, are a blank slate with shipping from the start. There are exceptions where I have to be firm and explain why they can't be shipped, but they're usually side characters to the main character I'm using and it wouldn't provide a meaningful rp/romance/what have you. I'd prefer the ships to happen after the characters know each other and do have a firm friendship to build from.


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. (✓✓ ✓ )

As much as I love Disney, the love at first sight thing always bugs me in rps because--really. Do you know anything about them? They might fart in their sleep or something! Close friends do know that we tend to talk about it a lot before they meet so of course, there's a few exceptions but generally speaking, I like the romance to happen with a slow build with the speed going by how the characters are personality wise.

Smut
When my characters gets intimate, I prefer:

- To skip the act entirely.
- 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. (✘--I'm a vanilla weenie)

RPING SMUT IS LIKE I HAVE TO BREAK OUT THE DICTIONARY AND MEDICAL TERMS AND FANFICS...it's hard. I tend to just go to write the build up and then skip the act because I'm a chocolate vanilla ice cream swirl with it. I'll write the act if it's special but otherwise.... /SKIP AHEAD SKIP AHEAD.

_{I can doodle smut easily though. Just ask if you want one.}

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. (~) -- if it's purely platonic, go for it--but if you want to imply something, then talk to me first.
- Post it if it is kisses. (~)
- Post it if it is much more. (~)
- Do not post it at all if it depicts sexual acts!
- Do not post it where I can see it, but draw what you like! (✘ -- nah i wanna see it regardless lol)

Communication is Key~! I like to know things. Bottom line, I hate being left out of the loop so if you have art or a piece of writing, please tell me and show me before showing anyone else. If they're openly official and it's just special gift artwork that's fine, but if they're not or you're coming up with an idea, then tell me~ _{Even if you're shy about it, I'm shy too.}



** 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.

If you are going to do something violent, please:

- Don't do it at all.
- Talk to me about it first. (✓ )
- Surprise me! (~)

Godmodding is always a no-no with me. IT's not fun for everyone and it gets tiring. I like a good fight that keeps me on my toes but there has to be some legroom for me to reply with and counter--or-not-counter, because what's a good fight without an actual fight?

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! (✓ )

This one, I don't mind surprises. Fights are like watching a trainwreck, they're exciting to watch and a weird surprise to behold (as long as no one's hurt lol). But if you wanna talk to me first, feel free!!

If anyone has questions or wants me to elaborate further, feel free to do so! This was fun. c:</s>
