    Hi Upscalerat!

    I'm so glad to join this site and see that quite a few people like us are coming back to the old fashioned rp sites. I've been rping since 2012 and I've even gotten my partner to engage in rps as well. It's certainly a rewarding way to connect with people.

    I am also interested in starting a new fantasy rp, so if you're interested, feel free to message me!

    Hello!

    Oh, very agreed- not to mention that it's nice to flex the creative muscle more often than the occasional NaNoWriMo. I'm terrible at keeping at my hobbies without making a sort of obligation, haha. And props on getting your partner to try it! I haven't tried with mine, but he's more of a math and hockey guy.

    And absolutely, will do- and sorry for the delay!

    Definitely, I've really been needing to practice my writing lately, considering I haven't written in a couple years. It's sad to see that my writing skills have declined since I've first started using social media like snapchat and Instagram (it bugged the crap out of me that people who don't write don't know the difference between "your" and "you're." I thought they were all pranking me for a while till I realized it was just bad grammar xD)
    Hey, nothing wrong with just math and hockey!

    No worries about the delay, I'm glad you responded

    Oh my god same- when I first got a phone my family used to make fun of me for correct grammar/spelling/punctuation! Took me a few years to give up and allow shortened words/acronyms into my text, but I like to think that my emoji usage really packs a punch now since I use it so rarely.

    And very true!

    Isn't that sad! My first phone was a flip phone, one of those with only 9 or so keys, and even though my friends had to wait an extra 10 minutes at times to get my response, I would always respond grammatically. Surprisingly, that caused a lot of confusion, not only due to the timing but also since text-talk is a completely different language and has different words, despite the similarities between text-language and formal language. Mind-blowing.

    I gave into the use of emojis pretty early on though. There are some circumstances that I'll never use emojis, like in a formal writing or even with certain people, but I tend to use them the most with my partner simply because of spamming.

    Hahaha yeah! I also had a 9-key (10 if you count 0 but I don't think I could use 0 for letters/punctuation), and I'm sure that some of my friends must have thought that I was upset or something when I ended a text with *gasp* a period. I've generally modified how I message someone on, say, discord to be a bit less anal about it, within reason, and luckily all my friends are nerds so we're all pretty much on the same wavelength there. My mom does still text me like, straight up gibberish though. She blames it on touchscreens and thought I was weird for having a Blackberry up until last year.

    Oh, that is incredibly valid. I find myself mostly using the eyes one or a sobbing one to really express a point, and I'm sure there are plenty of opportunities that I'm missing for that. And, naturally, the rat emoji, just about anywhere I can. (How dare there not me a rat emoji on this site to use right now.)

    Dude, yeah, I kept a "dumbphone" until my first year of high school despite everyone starting to get iphones and shiz by like 6th grade.

    This site has more emojis than I have ever seen, but no sign of rats. I'll have to put a word in to the admins...


    ...cuz rats deserve so much more attention. I've always wanted to keep rats

    Same! Though I am guilty of having had an iTouch in middle school, so maybe that gets me less merit, haha. But you'd think that the people with smartphones would have been the ones with better spelling at the time, wouldn't you?

    True- and I do appreciate what they've got here! But a lack of rats is tear-inducing.

    I totally recommend rats as pets! I had a few with my roommate in college and they were great. Very quiet, they keep themselves clean, and very smart and nice to train. Not to mention that they were a convenient disposal system of my veggie scraps, since I didn't know how to make stock.

    Isn't that ironic! Ah, life is so humbling...

    I've contacted the staff about it. They officially don't have a rat smiley, but they need to make one in order to keep people like you and me happy here.

    It is great to hear that an experienced person recommends keeping rats. I've never talked extensively with anyone who has rats, but I used to do a lot of research and would watch a bunch of how-to videos on them. I got chickens instead since my mom hates rats. They're good for food disposal too! They also pay their own rent

    If you actually reached out to the staff about it, then that's hilarious.

    That's entirely valid. And if you have any questions I'd be happy to share more about my experience with them! I'm certainly not comprehensive or an expert, but I can still pass along what I know. Though I have to admit I'm kind of jealous of you having chickens- my partner and I are very excited to be able to buy a house so we can raise chickens and have other housepets, because my apartment complex is awful and doesn't allow pets to rented units.
