let people…rp….what they want??
Maybe it’s not the people ‘shirking what the server has to offer’, instead it’s them RPing what they want without the server ripping them in half over their character being remotely different or unique. Perhaps they want to actually roleplay in an environment with trusted friends without dealing with the blatant screaming that the deafeningly loud minority of this server likes to do on a constant basis over ANYTHING that they deem REMOTELY ‘odd’, or ‘dark’, or ‘non-inclusive’.
I say let them. And Tumblr allows for long, beautiful writing posts that otherwise wouldn’t fit in game. You can’t do multiple paragraphs in the city without someone whining that you took up the entire screen. Or RP in massive groups without someone screaming on the sidelines ‘lol this is so dumb lol lol gay’ or trolling.
I will always promote and adore all writing mediums used by people to create their character’s story.
On top of that, some people also just need the space or simply don’t have the money. If you enjoy them enough to want them back, then you should enjoy them enough to RP with them over their preferred mediums. I’d be really upset if during the time I needed space someone was just prodding me to come back, but never doing anything with me. Hell that can be a reason someone leaves too, you can help by giving them some of your time and enjoying their company.

We will provide information on how to properly handle online bullying and in-game bullying, as well as provide resources on how to properly contact Blizzard via Tutorials, Anon asks, Messaging, and Submissions.

I’ll post this here since I know a lot of my followers on this blog are still from my RP blog.
WrA RP Community About OOC Smears:
Oh my god stop the callouts it’s so much draaaamaaaa just love each otheeeeeer!!!! Stop telling that person that’s trying to sexually get involved with a 16 year old while being 30 years old that they shouldn’t do that! Tell that person that’s exploiting nudes out of women and threatening to blacklist and shame them if they say anything that they are a human too and doesn’t deserve the hate they’re receiving!! We’re all here to write!??!?!
WrA RP Community about IC Smears:
Oh my god stop hurting my character!! DELETE THAT! Don’t say those things about make believe! I’m here to write about what I want, and if you don’t take it down you’re just creating drama in a setting where drama exists!!! Your concept is toxic to the community, even though I have a choice not to RP with you or acknowledge what is being said. I don’t have to opt-in, and I won’t, but I’m going to fuss about it OOC and send people to attack you IC because screw you!!
Wyrmrest Accord, can we just stop and take a moment to breathe and actually focus on what’s important?
Writing and healthy interactions are what’s important. Help during OOC acts of injustice, and stop focusing on dumb, harmless IC shit and focus on the real harmful IC shit that can get people in actual trouble.
Step the fuck up.
It blows me away that every time an abuser/abuse is exposed that people only seems to focus on how much the “drama” from said exposure harms their dashboards, and some even near self-victimize how much the drama is draining them. I get it. Drama can get annoying and be tiring to constantly read. But seriously?
There are more important things than your aesthetic. Real life people are being hurt and exploited and that should NEVER stand. IRL is ALWAYS more important than RP. I’m sick to death of people trying to cover up exposure because it isn’t all happy-doo-dah when bad things get talked about. Sometimes things suck, yeah. But you gotta stand up for people in our community if you want it to be a good place to be.
Abusers are not welcome. Abuse is not welcome. Anything that might fall under a criminal act is not welcome. And it shouldn’t be. Instead of getting upset that anything like that is being exposed and the level of exposure annoys you, take a moment to think about the fact that real life people are/were being hurt by this and it’s not all about your dashboard’s positivity levels.
This is CLASSIC erasure and it only ever serves to harm people, and prevent them from talking about it. And that’s the farthest thing from positivity and love that I can think of.
WrA needs to be a place that we can comfortably be, and giving abusers a pass to continue their abuse because you don’t fancy hearing about it is not going to make that happen.

But you’re literally using anon to talk shit and be shady yourself? If the old guard tried to rule with an iron fist, why did my guild never have a boundary issue with them? You’re literally promoting bullying and rumor mongering right now by posting this verbal vomit. You can peace out and find some help, because it’s fucking RP lmao.
If you follow Starsworn Knight please go ahead and unfollow me.
I’m not even joking. To be called a liar and drama starter by the man who stalked me in game and Tumblr… Not cool.
Not only that, Starsworn-Knight is islamophobic and homophobic.
He used to post a lot of hate speech before on his old blog and proceeded to lie saying he had a twin brother who did that which is obviously a lie.
He’s been unfollowed and blocked, my friend. I couldn’t handle anymore of him either.
Thanks guys and gals. I just hate him trying to say I made all this up when I have SS of in game stalking and ppl in game who witnessed him do it to me.

I closed the Tumblr app earlier. Guess what I did next? I opened it back up.
I spend most of my time daily going “Hmm, what should I do?” as I do nothing and then go to bed.
Mutuals if you are leaving Tumblr (ever for any reason) please let me know where else I might find you so we can remain in contact.

Though honestly, I already know where to find several of you.
