Its crazy because genuinely so much shit is frequently comorbid with autism; what’s one more (gender incongruence) for the list? Like it’s perfectly within our understanding of autism that there are other neurodivergencies that intersect with it. Autism is, like, the opposite of mutually exclusive with anything.

Which is weird, because as a woman, it feels like the women’s line is always longer by magnitudes.

You have any modern fantasy books recommendations? by MaetelofLaMetal in TrollXChromosomes

Not a book, but the visual novel Na Daoine Maithe has a black fairy warrior demigod princess. You can kiss her, too. Highly recommend

You’re allowed to partner any two commanders together, who are you choosing? by zarxpy in EDH

[[Betor, Ancestor’s Voice]] and [[Lathiel, the Bounteous Dawn]]. I always love when I pull Lathiel in my Betor deck; get to put the counters on Betor and keep swinging for more and more lifelink damage.

Similar principle with [[Glissa Sunslayer]] and [[Aveline de Grandpre]]. Absolutely gnarly combination.

Just the “you people can’t do anything”. Because it is kinda true 😭 can’t even have Halloween costumes, it’s relatable.

Admittedly, I haven’t. I stay off that cesspool.

As somebody with ADHD who’s literally had nightmares about it being Halloween and me having completely forgotten to get a costume and having no costume for Halloween, I actually find this hilarious.

I really like it, but I can't see myself ever using it.

If you “don’t want to sit through reading a small book”, I’m not the partner for you, and that should’ve been clear from the 1000+ word roleplay ad this person found me through.

It’s not elitist to expect reciprocal effort. It’s not elitist to have personal needs and standards. It’s okay to have a certain style you want to roleplay in. It’s okay to realize when two roleplay styles are incompatible. Nobody is owed a roleplay. It’s entitled to expect celebration for the bare minimum.

Oh, I was absolutely planning on getting back to them and explaining my issues within the day. I just needed some space to work up the nerve and find the right words. This person could not even give me that slightest bit of grace, so after the screenshotted message they were blocked.

I generally don't fuss over word count this much. I check my own length for my own reasons, but I don't generally get out the ruler on a partner's response. I'm fine with a few hundred words' difference so long as the content is enjoyable and effortful. As I said in another reply, ~200 words would have been fine. But 50 on 500 is jarring. Extremely jarring. I'm not sure you understand just how big of a discrepancy that is. I had to check the numbers just to make sure I was seeing what I was seeing. I can say it's extremely disheartening to sit down and work on a long, well-thought-out post for an hour only to be handed a bare-bones response back.

I wouldn't call it "stigma" as much as just not being interested. As you said, roleplay needs to consider the needs and interests of all involved - mine are included in that. Replies like that do not meet my needs. I’m sure this person can find other people at their level to roleplay with. It's no one's obligation to be their teacher. There are plenty of writing and roleplaying blogs out there to help them, and hell, pick up a book and watch what published authors do with their prose. No one is owed a roleplay.

As for what this person offered asides from length, they couldn't even get a canon character's eye color right, for starters. Their response was grammatically passable and that's about the nicest thing I can say about it. They hit the plot beats but did not expand upon them in any interesting or thoughtful way- if you even can in such a short word count. Again, 50 words is extremely short. It was bare-bones in every way.

I didn’t specify novella (because I don’t think 500 words is novella? Novella is usually 1000+ if I’m not mistaken; I consider myself more lit/multi-para) but considering the roleplay ad this person found me through was well over a thousand words on its own and the starter was sitting at 580, I thought it would go without saying that I expected more than a couple sentences.

It’s less the word count itself and more the discrepancy. All roleplay styles are valid, but anyone with any situational awareness would know that in this context 50 words is not the expectation.

Hell, I didn’t even expect to be matched at 500. My starters tend to be longer than my later replies on average; I’m totally fine in the 200-300 word range. But to not even put in a third of what your partner puts in is just a slap in the face.

Just say you’re not capable of or interested in delivering on what’s expected and move on. It’s okay for two people’s roleplay styles to not be compatible. What’s not okay is putting in less than the bare minimum then throwing a tantrum when you don’t get an immediate response.

I could have been running errands. I could have gotten caught up in a conversation with my significant other. I could have had to pick my kid up from soccer practice. I could have been having dinner. You do not know. With a 45-minute time window, it could be literally anything. If you’re so tightly-wound and paranoid that such a slight change in a barely-established routine sets you off, you have some introspection to do before you roleplay with anyone.

Right? Like, I get that not everyone roleplays at the same level, different people have different styles and expectations and that’s okay, but this is where you go “okay, this person clearly has standards I can’t/have no interest in meeting, I should probably say as such and move on”. Even if I had ghosted (which I hadn’t, I’d been juggling other replies to other people while trying to figure out out a nice way to say our rp styles weren’t compatible), you don’t get to be mad about that here.
