I’m gone.

tell me all your dark shit. i promise that i’ll stay.
keep me in the dark , &you’ll push, push me away.
there’s nothing you could say that would change you & i.
but not trusting me , not opening up, very well may.

Anonymous asked: I have an issue where my long time roleplay friend really likes to take full control of any scenario. It feels more like reading a book rather than letting scenes play out how characters interact. And then they have with their own characters be like this amazing thing that can save you from anything, and then my characters are ‘helpless’ and 'need saving’. Its made me really reluctant to rp, and I don’t even enjoy it anymore. 

Yeowch, well, that’s a form of godmodding actually! Someone who takes over your characters, and the surroundings, to the degradation of the quality of the RP? That’s called a puppetmaster if you want to label it more specifically. People don’t like that crap. You’ve experienced why. Hint to readers: Wow do not do this, please only RP your own character and your reactions to the other characters and setting. You should never try to take that character away from another person, or ‘Well if I don’t get to play my character, why don’t you just play everyone, and I’ll just watch?’ might be the salty comment on the tip of your partner’s tongue.

So honestly you should talk to your friend. Communication is the best medicine. You need to create boundaries when playing. Typically, in roleplay, you only move your own character except in extraneous circumstances (RE: Your character is passed out, and you’ve signed out, but they have to drag you). Explain to them that roleplay needs to have balance, and while you’re RPing your character they need to focus on their own. It can be hard, but if you’re good friends it shouldn’t be that much of a fight. Like they say, if you can’t communicate how things make you feel and how to fix them, how good of a friendship do you really have?

You might suggest that they write fanfic instead of RP if they need to control the entire situation and don’t feel comfortable letting go. It’s an need some people have, and it’s unhealthy to push onto a partner if they’re uncomfortable or unwilling, but fanfic is a great way to express that. They need to recognize these boundaries, at the very least to keep harmony between the two of you. Talking is best.

In a worst case scenario, you may have to break the ‘one rule of improv’ which is to never deny anything. It keeps the scene flowing, but it means you’re forced a certain way. If they describe your character doing one thing, take that and change it. Make bold decisive movements. Break their hold by doing things they did not prescribe for you. “Their eyelashes fluttered as they hesitated” might be their statement, you can reply “well, if they had hesitated, but instead they stood up, confronting the other directly.” This is, once again, a worst case scenario. Try talking first. Communication is important! But this might force them into conversation if they refuse to understand or change right out of the gate.

Good luck.
