Now when I say this, I'm not referring to all rpers, there are some who are nice people, and I don't have these issues with. However more often than not, most rpers i've delt with have gotten me so frustrated that i simply need to make this post. 1. SAY SOMETHING: this is the BIGGEST and MOST COMMON problem I face dealing with these people, but if you're too busy and unable to rp, or if you simply don't want to rp with me for some reason, then instead of just ignoring me and pretend I don't exist, maybe you should JUST SAY SOMETHING. Like is it THAT hard to just simply say "no thanks" or "not interested" or "currently busy"? and heck honestly i've lost some friends and good rpers who just decided to do this out of nowhere. What is the problem? Why is it so hard to tell me you're not interested or busy? 2. Me being flexible is a problem somehow: i've dealt with many people who despite me being very flexible, able to take suggestions even sometimes for my RP when it's my turn i'm almost always open to ideas and game for almost anything, yet this is somehow a problem? i've had multiple people say they are no longer interested or turned off because i said i'm open to ideas. Why is this a problem? Why is me being flexible such a big turn off? and sometimes if i ask for something and they don't want to do it, and i said then we don't have to do it, they then say they don't think it'll work and just reject, just because i suggested something they didn't like and said didn't have to do. 3. So you told me what you want to do, so I'm going to do the exact opposite: This is another very common problem. But usually when I ask for something to be done in an rp, or if there is a certain line I would like to be said, and the rper does their hardest to just completely go around it and say something else completely, or just do something else, and of course a lot of the time my suggestions and things I want are just completely ignored. Now i can admit i can be guilty of this sometimes but it's usually because I'm an idiot and forgot or i didn't understand exactly, but just simply explain and I'll understand and fix what i messed up, however when i ask the same from these people they just ignore me and continue to do what they want to do, especially when it's my rp idea. also please follow my rules, I have rules for rping, yet some people can't help but break them. 4. ok...sure...yes/pulls out pocket watch...you are in my power now and will obey: Gonna go ahead and lump these 2 together since they have the same issue and are similar enough. Giving me one-word answers...I feel like I don't need to say more than that. But then we reach the hypnosis part, again sometimes mixed with issue 3, but I have dealt with so many people who simply use their method for one post then the next one they give out commands to make my character do whatever, on occasion using the method and having 100% control being in the same message, I don't know how I can explain this problem despite me trying so hard to tell the rper, but I want the hypnosis to be slow and relaxing, I want my character to slowly relax and be calmed and relaxed, not just a 1 and done so we can get to commands quicker, this is probably the most common out of all of these problems possibly tied with the first issue, but it's annoying how I want my character to be soothed and relaxed and gently put under a trance, yet despite me explaining this most rpers I've rped with just simply have my character just be instantly hypnotized and under just like that. I don't know about any of you, but I think the induction should be prioritized just as the commanding, but I guess alot of people don't care about putting someone under slowly as much as just having someone be a mindless slave. (and in case you are wondering, yes, i hate hypnosis via drugs, attachable devices, and anything that puts someone under with little to no effort on your part) 5. Yes, I'm able to do hypnosis... (5 seconds later) oh no, i don't do hypnosis: yea...i don't even need to go into detail. but another one that can be said is when people don't even give me a reason why, or even flat out hate me for asking. Sometimes makes me feel like people hate me for even existing. 6. yes we can rp, just give me a minute...(5 days later)...*checks on them and sees they've been rping with tons of other people this whole time: this one i've been seeing TONS more of lately. Look I get it, i'm not the only person in the world and there are other people you want to rp with I get that, but to just ignore me while also giving other rps tons more replies during the time i'm waiting again makes me feel like people hate me for even existing. 7. maybe able to rp, but first i need to take care of the other 36,891,745 rp's i'm currently in the middle of: just something i'd be cautious about when you rp with someone, if they have hundereds of rp starters then there is a good chance you might not get far, not saying the people who do this are jerks (although alot are from my experience) but I don't think it's a good idea to do so many rps at once since you won't be able to stretch yourself enough to give everyone a good rp. 8. checks rp starter "I'm only sub" checks another "looking for dom" checks another "sub ONLY": I get it, of course alot of people want to be subs, including me, heck if it was up to be i'd be 100% sub, but if most of us our subs then there won't be enough doms, that's why I usually offer that if someone can be dom for me then i'll be dom for them, unfortunately not many are willing to take that as they only want to be sub 9. We're not gonna Rp, you don't add periods or capitalize beginning of sentences:...SERIOUSLY? IS THAT SUCH A BIG DEAL THAT YOU HAVE TO JUST REJECT ME AND NOT EVEN GIVE ME A CHANCE, JUST BECAUSE OF A STUPID DOT 10. Ive made an rp starter and everyone is welcome, looking forward to rping with you, sends them a note to express interes, except for you: this can be mixed with issues 1 and 6, but I’ve had tons of people open rp starters and are willing to talk with people about it, yet when specifically I message them showing Interest they usually ignore me, don’t give me a chance, even though their rp starter was open and they Talked about looking forward to rping with people, so why do I usually get singled out 11. posts rp starter, i message interested, "great, now let's chat on discord": I don't have discord and i'd rather not get it, it's much easier to use notes, but why do you post a rp starter on DA then say that they RP HAS to be done on discord? It's like if you go to an ice cream shop and get the certain type of ice cream you want, but then when you go to check out you are then told you have to go to another location in another city to pay, it's just too much when Notes are the best place to Rp 12. well you ruined Rping for me/I don't want to rp with you anymore: seriously? and not even gonna give me a reason why? 13. me: I see you have a certain rp in mind but I have my own ideas, how about if you do mine then I can do yours, them: NAH, I ONLY DO MY OWN: do I even need to say it? I'm willing to do the idea they want if they just do mine first, however they don't since they can ONLY do their OWN ideas 14: me: I had an idea for my sub, them: NO, FOR YOU'RE SUB I'D RATHER DO MY OWN IDEA: similar to 13, I let them do whatever they want for their sub, yet when it's my sub and I have my own idea, they just decide that they want to do another one of their ideas for my sub, not letting me have my own say, luckily this one isn't as common as 13, but when it happens I hate it


15: Them: I’m not gonna rp with you anymore because this one guy showed me a spiral and I’m now his hypnotized slave: I feel I don’t need to say much about this one, but I’ve seen a lot where guys post spirals (a lot of them say for girls only) and the comments are full of people saying they are hypnotized slave and will obey, and one person I was rping with just stopped rping because she saw a guy’s spiral and was posting all over how she was his hypnotized slave 16: Finish our current Rp and I tell them what I want next for mine, but it's your turn so what do you want, them: I want to do the idea you wanted, me:...: not much needed to say here, just taking the idea I wanted for yourself 17: I do hypnosis, but I don't do the "you are getting sleepy" hypnosis: personal bias pick since I love the sleepy kind of hypnosis 18: "Sure we can do your idea" me: alright, ready when you are "oh...sorry I changed my mind": I get it, people can change their minds and all that, but still frustrating and angering when you lead me on like that 19: "this person seems interested in a similar idea maybe we can work something out" checks page, no reply for years: this one is extra upsetting especially when someone has an interesting idea you want to try or they seem like they'd be willing to give your idea a try, only for then to reveal they haven't commented, faved, uploaded, or done anything for years Sorry for the longer post, but for these past months I've been dealing with these problems from rpers, losing friends and nice rpers because of these reasons, and simply being stressed out, and I just HAD to get all of this off my chest. But if we RP, PLEASE don't do any of these.

I checked my page again and Wow, it’s kinda crazy to think that it’s been almost a decade since I joined deviantart, and knowing soon it’ll be the 10 year anniversary of my time here

And I’ve done a lot, enjoyed tons of amazing art Made some art with gmod, made a few manips, started series like “rate the hypnotist” “tournaments” and “hypnotic or not”, made a good amount of friends, but sadly also made TONS of enemies and dealt with changes to the page I didn't like

but it’s still mind blowing how much I’ve been able to accomplish in these past 10 years and I look forward to continuing to grow my page and deliver more deviations, wish I could think of something for the 10 year anniversary, hopefully I think of something

but still thank you all for the support over the years, I never expected To get 1k watchers, so I thank you all for your support and hopefully you’ll all stick around for more

thank you for reading

not going to say the user, but there is one user who makes really good pokemon anime art, I wanted to commission her something hypnosis related for a long time, and now that I had my chance I asked but then told me she doesn't do hypnosis related content anymore, so all my waiting for my chance to commission, then when I got it she told me something she used to do I can't ask for few months later I saw something from her pop up, A BRAND NEW IMAGE SHE MADE LIKE 3 DAYS AGO, SHE DIDN'T LET ME REQUEST BECAUSE I WANTED SOMETHING HYPNOSIS RELATED, NOW SHE DOES A COMMISSION INVOLVING HYPNOSIS so yea I didn't want to block her for rejecting my commission because it has hypnosis since while it hurt and I was mad, it was her decision, BUT now since she lied to me and still makes hypnosis art, yea she's Blocked
