Oh that's interesting. I've never used tumblr much less to role play. Is there an example one you refer me to so I can see how it works? It would be much appreciated but if it's too much trouble then don't worry!

ah, there's not really any specific blogs that come to mind, but if you search for things like "[fandom] roleplay" or "oc roleplay" quite a few blogs will pop up.

usually from what i've seen people create seperate blogs just for roleplaying, and then they can post their starters in the relevant tags and someone can reblog with a response. there's also little askbox interactions too. i've also seen a lot of people use little gifs/images of their character's faceclaim or actor in their responses. and there's just generally a lot of Fancy Post Formatting when it comes to replies.

I used to RP on tumblr A LOT.
By blogs are here, here and here, but all inactive because I don't RP TF2 anymore.

I can see you deleted your blog because you're anxious - and that is something I really had to overcome on Tumblr RP. It didn't take me long to realise that EVERYBODY was tagging their posts / writing OOC notes about how shy they were and how they couldn't bring themselves to send asks / answer open starters, etc etc. So I figured that even though I was shy, I HAD to take the initiative because not doing so would result in no RP ever because EVERYONE over there is shy.

I personally had a good time over there - the public RP format was really good because it felt like a community. People could see RP in progress and jump in or make commentary. Ask memes were fun for jokes and character growth. I met a few of my good friends over there!

But yeeeh, it can be intimidating. But don't worry - everybody is nervous and just hoping somebody wants to RP with them. You honestly aren't going to be hurting any feelings by reaching out to others.

ah yeah, thank u a lot for the advice!! it just makes me very nervous because i have a lot of anxiety around posting my writing on the internet and sharing my OCs, it took a lot of courage for me to sign up for this website and this is the only website where i really share my writing + OCs with others. i'm trying very hard to overcome it but. yeah. generalized anxiety disorder is fun.
