“Sunset Shimmer is a lesbian.” I say into the mic.
The hasbro executives boo. I begin to walk away in shame when a voice speaks, commanding silence.
“She’s right,” they say. I look for the owner of the voice. There in the 4th row stands: Rebecca Shoichet herself.
There seems to be a bit of an issue when it comes to nonroleplaying blogs reblogging roleplay threads. So I am going to try and explain the difference for you so that you don’t get confused.
A fanfiction is a short or long story that one writes about characters and shows they enjoy. They are able to be shared and liked and enjoyed by many. Authors don’t care if you reblog their fanfictions. Hell, they’re thrilled when you reblog them! I don’t know about you, but if someone reblogs a fanfiction of mine I tend to see if they wrote anything cute in the tags to see if they liked anything. I live for when my stories are shared.
Roleplay threads are a sort of story, where two writers, portraying characters that they enjoy or created themselves, come together for their characters to interact. It may look like a story, especially if you find a good thread where the responses are paragraphs and in depth and amazing, yes I love reading those threads.
Roleplayers don’t mind if their threads are read by others. They don’t care if you press the little “like” button.
But what they do care about is whether or not you leave the thread alone.
Roleplaying is between two people. The two people who are acitively writing the thread together. It belongs to them, no one else.
If you reblog it, you’re asking for trouble because,
a) You have nothing to do with the thread.
b) You are not a part of the thread
c) You are messing up the roleplayers’ notifications, thinking they got a reply only to find that, nope, it was just some asshole reblogging the thread all willy nilly.
If you reblog a roleplay thread, then there’s a good chance the roleplayer will get angry and send you a message demanding you delete the thread. Don’t get a stick up your butt because of their reaction, you brought it onto yourself. Does a roleplay thread really look like a vastly unfinished fanfiction? I doubt it.
If you reblog a roleplay thread, the roleplayers will get upset and block your sorry ass, and, if you don’t delete the part you reblogged, will have to actively delete the thread and start over. You know how fucking annoying that is? It’s so annoying and it’s completely unfair. You could be ruining days or weeks or even months of work the roleplayers put into the thread.
slam that reblog button if you’re a dirty nasty gross multishipper, or just a reasonable person that believes that harassing people over ships is for losers

“Hey, you lost?” Shimmer asked, approaching the figure.
The figure’s shadow was seen through a lone street lamp ahead. It flickered and with each one it grew closer to the woman, until it was too late. Face to face stood a woman, horns sprouting from the side’s of her head and teeth that looked like a shark’s. Her eyes gleamed down as if she was about to sastify a hunger that she had sought to quell for many years.
“If anyone’s lost, I think it’s you.” The figure huffed.
“What makes you think that? You’re in my neighborhood.” She said nonchalantly, seemingly unfazed by the figures height. And Horns. And teeth. Then again, she had seen worse.
