when someone replies to you on a monday and it’s friday and you still haven’t replied

its been five-ish days

but now that person left because “no one paid attention to me” or “no one loves me”

the problem with rps is that they’re so fast paced — the fact that they might die in a week makes people who like to take time with replies or just don’t have time in the week to reply either get left in the dust or something else of the sort

i’ve done this before— left people mid plot or mid reply

it but usually i try to be like “hey you want to continue in pm or something?”

i do take a while to reply, anyone who has rp’ed with me knows that

i’m a busy girl unfortunately

i also procrastinate LMAO

but these days i just don’t have time during the week

like i will reply maybe on the weekend

but my weekends aren’t exactly open all the time, because i do have a life

the school week usually consists of me going to school and checking in on rpr every once and while and just REMINDING myself that i have to reply

i know i do — and i will, once the weekend comes

if our plot is very heavy or just very uh plotty ??? then i might take a while

BUT I KNOW GOTTA REPLY OK

usually the things i don’t reply to are wall posts that are just us casually talking. i don’t know why — if we talk in rooms then i don’t see the point of having both... unless they’re both different ???

idk

i just don’t see a problem with taking a little while to reply, as long as you’re giving updates to your partner

”i’m busy! replies might take a while!”

because that shows that you remember

usually plotting replies aren’t something i take a while on but ehhh you never know

Have you ever tried to actually be mindful or put yourself in another person's shoe? Role play is a two person (or more) show. You want to take your time? Great, but make sure you have a partner that is fine and more laid back about replies. Honestly, reading this post, it sounds like you simply don't have the time to roleplay. Do you at all hope that everyone will be on standby for you? They have their lives too but they manage to find means and time to get around to replying to you. Are you not appreciative of that aspect? To me, a person role playing with me means they want to role play and constantly having a partner that doesn't have the time on top of desire to roleplay sometimes makes me think and feel like the other person isn't all that committed. I'm here to role play and I like to consider myself a patient person, but I want to roleplay. I'm putting my effort and time, finding and making time, and I don't feel respected as a partner if I don't feel like I'm receiving any feeling of commitment. If you had a partner that took the same time or more as you did to roleplay, what would you think? How would you feel? Are you still going to be interested in role-playing or replying when a roleplay is slow and not going anywhere? I think your situation is that you have a full plate on your hands and you need to ask yourself if you really can commit to a roleplay. Other than that, you need to find a partner that best fits to what you're looking for and remember that your partner is also a human on the other side of the screen with a life of their own. Everyone is busy with their own lives. You're no different.
