not to be dramatic but

hi hi

so i was laying in bed and being all depressed and when nostalgia hit me harder than my toes against the couch.

yo what happened to rpr? a while ago I came back hoping to see a nice rp to join and be active (bold of me to assume when i dont even get time to rest), but anyway. once in a while I access the site to check on it and all, and everything changed drastically. If we all used to complain how places before were fast to die, then what about now? rps barely collect 60 favs then perish.

I was stalking here and there, my old rps, my friends' and my old rps and EVEN older rps. I recalled how once so many users came across with ideas how to make the site better, add useful features, like you know, we tried to contribute to the site in order to make it pop. I even remember us advertising rpr on aff Imao for promotion to bring new users, good times.

again, Im busy myself cause adult life, having kids, being married, buying a new car, a new house, starting a business (somebody probably fits the description but not me, im a loser), yet thinking about those times really just made me smile and rethink again my schedule and find time coming back on the site, at least for a little bit. Its been years, yearssssss of my teenager era that I spent here.

let's not forget the amount of people I met here (idk if yall left or just changed uns mfs), so many nice cracky people, then also those groups everyone wanted to be a part of, cliques, drama, and ofc the blogs LMAO those drag blogs, ngl ty this aight happening much lately. we grew out of that phase where we would be dramatic and call people out in public, with that being said, I came to my personal conclusion that most of us just grew out of the site.

I miss the place that it used to be with all my heart, I miss the people I ever lost cause of our petty asses and I miss us all being active and cracking dumb stupid jokes, id say I miss roleplaying itself cause I really do but only if I had the time and wasnt emotionally drained, but I actually miss the emotions and warmth this place used to bring. I miss how my mom used to stare at me when I was on rpr and laughed and smiled at my screen.

i've arrived at the same conclusion myself these past few months, and it's a bittersweet realization. the kind I didn't want to say out loud for fear it would spook what remains of the creativity i've got left for this site. back then the aura of excitement and the energy everyone put out could be felt everywhere you went. now it feels like... a dilapidated chat forum, hanging by it's last thread. at least as far as the nonau realm goes. and trust that I've wanted to roam back into au territory but there's probably only three rps out there that are remotely active, none of which have caught my interest or have been capable of jumpstarting the original character building component of my brain. . retiring from this place is going to be hard.. but I can't think of any another place I've made quite so many memories. 10+ years, from highschool through college, life long friends too, man. it's like letting go of a small part of myself. but i'll eventually log off for good. maybe a couple months down the line if it continues to be as stagnant as it is today.

retweet fr. i would always look back to see some active roleplays on here from afar without joining because knowing myself i have no time being on here like i used to but </3 i've been on instagram rp this whole time but this place hits different!

most people just moved on, so we tend to see the same group of people in every rp. i noticed that i rarely meet new people in every rp i join or make, which is actually really sad considering how lively rpr was before. i've been thinking about making an exit for a while now but i love writing and i can't really be bothered to try other platforms because they're too strict about activity. :(

It really feels like a lot of people have either moved on or are just too busy for the website nowadays— which is fine but it does make the website feel a lot more unrecognizable with these new accounts. The standard of interaction has downgraded quite a bit in my opinion.

lmao the last part. you’re so cute

as for the rest, i doubt rpr will ever be what it was, most people from back then are probably not on this site anymore, ways of interacting have changed, people are just not as welcoming or inclusive as they were?? and also everyone keeps opening non aus one after another, that’s why they die so quickly, it’s something i’ve come to accept but i do miss what it was
REMEMBER WHEN WE GOT CALLED OUT IN A BLOG KDJKDJDJJDJD fun times ???

As someone that usually sits in an an even when it dies it really awkward when nobody is around to talk to. Ngl I got into nonaus when the *dies in 3 days* was a thing so I am honestly surprised whenever I find spaces that last over a month
