liking a character for what they have the potential to be even though in canon they’re a lot less faceted that what you want to envision in your head
I am by no means trying to tell you what you should and should not do, nor am I aiming to police the internet. If you’re comfortable with some of the following, that’s fine but this is a list based on my own personal experiences and what I have learned from them and it’s to help as a warning to those who might not know what to look out for as they’re new to RPing.
((If you choose to reblog this post for others to see you may do so only on the condition that you do not tag or mention anyone who you feel is one of these partners. This is not a call out freebee, that’s not what this post is for!))
These are Partners who become easily jealous when your muse interacts with other muses. They don’t like the idea that your blog is a multiverse/ship blog because theirs is not or whatever reason they give for it. They might even go as far as to contact others anonymously to tell them to leave you alone without even consulting you first. Some of these parters appear to become upset or aggressive when you don’t know everything about their muse or you refuse a plot suggestion from them. They will try to isolate you in such a way that you are only able to write with them.
Those that don’t like what has happened in a thread or that you’re writing with someone they don’t like and then threaten to leave the site if things don’t change. That it would be your fault if anything happens to them or their blog, even threats to alter their muses relationship with yours. This is an attempt to control how and who you interact with. This is manipulative behaviour and should not be stood for.
These partners are those that come up with the plots only they control everything in the plot, your muse isn’t allowed to actually be your muse because it effects their muse or their plot. In the end you must consider if you are writing your muse or if you are writing an NPC for them. You owe these people nothing you don’t want to give, no matter how controlling or guilt tripping they then become when you confront them.
Similar to the Game Masters, these partners smother your muse with threads but every single one of them is centred around the needs of their muse and not yours. While their muse grows and develops, there’s no breathing room for yours to do the same. You burn yourself out in keeping up with their threads but don’t feel like you or your muse are getting anything in return.
They ask for all of your URLs and it can be quite flattering, only they become annoyed if they find another blog of yours elsewhere you haven’t mentioned, or that you don’t interact with them through a certain muse of yours. These people might just be excited and eager to write with you but they have no right to expect you to do so on any of your blogs.
This one always, always plays the victim ooc. Whatever you do that they don’t agree with suddenly turns into vague blogging, sending anonymous messages, setting their friends on you or blatantly ignoring you in the IMs. It turns into a public call out post in which they expect their followers to side with them no matter what and deny you the chance to explain your side of the situation, yet they do not block or unfollow you, wanting to see the chaos play out. When eventually reasoned with, this usually results in a sob story from them in order to get your supposed forgiveness and as if you might return to everything as normal… beware the apparent victim.
These are the partners who blend whatever is happening in character into out of character things. Sometimes it is just a one off and many, many people have done it in the past, but when it keeps happening there should be red flags and warning bells ringing. If your partner cannot differentiate between OOC and IC expect considerable drama!

i am so so so so so sorry for going AWOL, it’s just that i’m focusing on a few projects, one of which i want to see through before anything else. so, mostly, @despairmade, with a couple parts “for funsies visual novel project” and “i am more than likely going to reboot one muse and combine them with another for a trio-muse blog”.
sorry for the lack of responses! it might be a while before I’m back active on this blog, it’s just that I want to finish despairmade while I’m putting myself to the grinding, you know?
