Why does tragedy exist? Because you are full of rage. Why are you full of rage? Because you are full of grief.

on canon characters and headcanons

alexsrpshit:

     My headcanons for my character are mine. Some of my headcanons for my character are based around canon and were probably what the author intended me to take from it. Some of my headcanons may completely and/or blatantly ignore canon. Some might just be there because I like them.

I’m not saying you have to agree with all my headcanons.

     But you do have to keep in mind that they will be a part of how I play my muse. Please respect them, even if your opinions differ.

IF YOU ARE OKAY WITH ICONLESS ROLEPLAYS REBLOG THIS SO YOUR FOLLOWERS KNOW !!

like as much as i love icons and a good psd, sometimes its just tasking to do. and not everyone has great resources. so if you’re okay with having threads with no icons, please reblog this so that people know you’re okay with it. i feel like roleplayers today are too focused on the aesthetics and won’t follow people who use base icons or even none at all. it’s not about icons, but about the writing !!

I think hell is something you carry around with you. Not somewhere you go.

in terms of riven’s body type, by my own headcanons some of which i mentioned briefly here, she is built to say the least.

she has a lot of musculature, she is not like huge / bulky or anything, like i said — she is somewhere between welter and middle weight in class, and much closer to the latter. her legs are strong, undeniably so, due to exercise (i.e. more-so cardio based elements of her ‘workout’) and her thighs are on indeed the thicker side. but admittedly her upper body is where a lot of her muscles are: strong arms, defined shoulders as well as well-toned stomach and substantial back musculature… carrying and wielding a long sword for as long as she has? has done much for her upper body strength.

at bare minimum? she can bench her own weight, if not close to double her weight. it took practice, it took years. her legs are toned as well due to this in conjunction with being a genuine fighter and all the walking, hiking, etc she’s done in being nomadic. (side note: in her modern verse, she is an mma fighter.)

rp-ask-memes:

one thing I believe should be more heavily influenced in the roleplay community ( that really isn’t respected ) is the RIGHT OF REFUSAL. not everyone has to say yes to a roleplay, even if you delivered sugar-coated candied comments abt their portrayal / characterization / etc. if you give those things, it should be from your HEART, and not because you are attempting to ENTICE them into writing with you.

with refusal comes MAJOR ANXIETY — most writers don’t feel comfortable saying that they don’t want to write with someone, and it is because they want to avoid hurting their feelings. believe it or not, there are KIND ways of telling someone you don’t have an interest in writing with them — and those ways should be respected. do not make someone FEEL BAD for not wanting to write with you; and do not FORCE them to tell you their reasoning. as long as they are kind, you should respect their decision and not be rude towards them.

please respect the right of refusal.
