DWRP Glossary

2024-05-23T07:27:45Z

Activity check (AC): Turning in a minimum number/size of threads, or a check-in post or summary, to prove you're still active.

App: Application; most games require at least a minimal one, sandboxes generally don't. A summary of the character containing stuff like how you play them, what you want to do with them, any superpowers they have, their backstory, maybe some threads you've done with them in the past, depending on what the individual game requires. Mostly it gives moderators an idea of what to expect from a character they're not familiar with and some level of assurance that they won't break the game.

AU: Alternate Universe. When used to refer to a game, this usually means that the premise of the game requires or strongly prefers that characters be played as a version of themself adapted so that they were always part of that setting instead of one that was transported there directly from their canon universe. When used of a character it can also mean that they're from a version of their canon where events unfolded differently or the setting is different, including ones that were shown in the canon but not incorporated into the main continuity as well as fan-made ones.

Backtagging: Tagging at play-by-post speed instead of real-time speed, or continuing a thread started quite a bit earlier.

Bakerstreet: bakerstreet. Specific Dreamwidth community that provides lots of RP prompt memes to play around with.

Boomeranging: Tagging rapidly back and forth on the same thread with minimal interruption. May or may not preclude writing tags in other threads, depending on player preference, speed, and multitasking ability, but prioritises the boomeranged thread.

Canon point: The specific time or episode of canon that the character came from before entering the game.

Canonmate: Characters from the same canon as yours, whether played by other players in the same game, NPCed, or hypothetical.

Community: Dreamwidth feature; a multi-user group journal that any member journal can post to. Games will usually have a minimum of two (an IC community and an OOC community) but may have separate ones for memes, navigation, RPing in a specific location or within a specific faction, whatever the mods think is useful.

CR: Character Relationship. Can describe both the relationship and the character your character has the relationship with.

CRAU: A character who carries over their memories, character development, and any lasting scars/injuries/transformations and/or new powers from one or more previous games instead of coming directly from any point in canon.

CR chart: Page on your character's journal for short descriptions of their relationships with other characters in the game.

Dressing room, musebox, sandbox: Low-commitment RP venue, often used for testing.

Fourthwalling: Most prominent meaning is pointing out to them ICly that another character is from a work of fiction in your character's world (also sometimes called canon-puncturing); also an umbrella term for things that interact with the fourth wall or the conventions of Dreamwidth RP, like acknowledging previous instances of the same character who had different players or pointing out that two or more characters share faceclaims/PBs.

Friendslocked: Describes a post that's only visible to certain people instead of everyone, in this context usually players who've been accepted to the RP. The term comes from LiveJournal, where 'friends' was the only group that could be given this kind of selective access to individual journals.

Gagtag: Posting a silly tag that's not intended to be a canonical part of the thread (often a meme), which is then edited or deleted and replaced with the real continuation of the thread.

Godding/godmod(d)ing: Dictating what someone else's character does in your tag without consulting their player.

Handwave: Summarising events instead of threading them out.

Inbox: Either your Dreamwidth inbox (which is where notifications for tags appear) or an IC contact page on your character's journal specific to one game.

Infomodding: Having your character know things they have no reasonable way to have learned IC.

IC: In Character. In-universe, diegetic, etc.

Jamjar: Setting that the characters can't ICly leave, based on an old joke about games set inside "a spooky jamjar".

Journal: Individual Dreamwidth account. One per character, except sometimes NPCs or characters being tested out will share one collectively or share with a player character.

Log: Starter posted as a journal entry. The community where most of the RP happens will often be called the logs community.

Lone Canon Warrior (LCW): Character who doesn't have anyone else from their canon in a game.

Meme: A RP meme generally means an open-ended, low-commitment prompt. Can also be the usual meanings of meme.

Mingle: A player post that allows other players to put their own top-levels and thread with each other in the comments. Often but not necessarily used for IC parties and social gatherings.

Mun: Alternate term for player, not used much anymore but may show up in old posts and resources.

Muse: Alternate term for character

Network: IC social media/mini internet facilitated by computers and/or smartphones, or magical facsimiles thereof. Not all games have them (two of the three I've been in don't, and the third only barely, technically does), but they're common.

Not here: Subject line used when adding a comment on someone else's thread to show your character reacting from a distance without affecting the main thread. Usually a single comment but can start spinoff threads, either with other characters who reacted or with one of the characters from the first thread.

Notifs: Short for notifications. Can refer to either the ones in your Dreamwidth inbox or the ones that (unless you turn them off) get emailed to you when you get a reply or a thread you're tracking updates.

OOC: Out Of Character. Player-level processes like applications and activity checks. (Can also be used in the fanfic sense, to mean a character not acting like themself or like they do in canon.)

OTA: Open To All, used on starters.

PB, faceclaim: Real person, most often an actor or other celebrity, used to represent what a non-live-action character or an OC looks like face-to-face. PB stands for Played By but the full phrase is rarely used.

Plurk: Plurk. Messaging/social media website heavily used for OOC communication among DWRPers, to the point where Dreamwidth has a built-in function to link to a Plurk account.

PSL: Personal StoryLine. A one-on-one (or sometimes 3- or 4-way, but not much larger) thread not attached to a game.

Regain: IC items or powers given to the character for completing an OOC process (usually, turning in threads above the amount for an activity check). Originated from games where characters started out missing all or most of their powers and/or memories from canon and gradually reclaimed them.

Reserve: Calling dibs on a character so you won't lose the slot to someone who writes an app faster. A mandatory part of the apping process in some games.

Tag: One comment in a thread. Originates from telling people "tag, you're it" when you post on their thread.

TDM: Test Drive Meme. Attached to a game but often not 100% canonical to it. A place to test characters you might app and make sample threads.

Threading: RPing in threads.

Threadjacking: 3rd+ character joining a 2-way thread, either turning it into a 3+ way thread or pushing out one of the first two.

Thread tracking: Pressing the little bell button on a thread to be notified about new tags in it. Usually this is for interesting threads you're not involved in, but tracking the thread makes it easier to stay up to date if you're participating in a thread with more than one other character.

TL: Top-Level. Starter for threads. Comes from the Dreamwidth function to view only comments at the top of threads, but can also refer to a starter posted as a journal entry in a community.

I broke both my laptop and my phone within 24 hours of each other and now I have to squeeze what functionality I can out of my old tablet and my even older netbook, neither of which will run the Discord app! I also can't get into my tumblr because I have 2-factor authentication on and it goes to my phone! This sucks!

The phone is probably salvageable if I can replace the screen (shattered into nonfunctionality against the cold uncaring pavement of a Chapters parking lot when it fell out of my pocket), but the laptop depends on whether I can get Windows working on it again or if I have to give up, scrape its hard drive, and lay it to its final rest. It's pretty old, all the built-in repair options failed, and it was acting squirrelly for a few days before this.

If you can't make your own beard, try a different recipe

2019-09-09T06:43:03Z

(Crossposted from Tumblr, written for the Transgender September challenge)

Wilson may or may not have himself figured out before adolescence, but it makes very little difference in the long run when puberty blockers won’t be invented for another 80 years or so. However, he picks out his new name as a teenager; his exact choice, Wilson rather than William or perhaps something like Wilbur or Wilfred, and the way he discourages people from casually shortening his name to the first syllable, may be slightly pointed.
His parents aren’t thrilled, but they don’t disavow or contradict him over it, and this is hardly the first time they’ve acted like they would prefer he was someone else. They maintain that their middle child has always been a son. By their standards this is being supportive.
He goes through university and grad school presenting full-time as male and returns with diplomas in the name of Wilson P. Higgsbury. At some point around then it’s possible that he follows in the footsteps of Alan L. Hart and Karl Baer and undergoes gender-confirming surgery, though without the kind of media attention for being a pioneer thereof that would support a Wikipedia article about him solely on that basis a century later. (Certainly it would be more convenient later in life when he gets stranded in an alternate dimension consisting primarily of small unsettled forested islands.)
His greatest scientific success as an independent chemist is what he refers to as his “beard formula”, an artificial androgen that in particular promotes vigorous hair growth. Early trials result in various animals developing thick, bristly black hair, as well as that one time he spilled it on the rug and it still managed to stain and fluff up the completely inert fibres. Eventually he deems it suitable for self-experimentation, and afterwards develops a talent for growing several inches of beard over the course of mere months or weeks. It actually seems to grow faster the longer it gets, up until it runs out of steam around knee-length.
Unfortunately, he never manages to patent the beard formula before being sent to the Constant, partly because of difficulty reproducing the exact formula he used on himself and partly because of unchecked ADHD making it much harder to keep good records or follow a predictable schedule.
By now he exists in various records as a young man with his current name, so the thought of being drafted into the Great War and subsequently outed by the medical exam causes him quite a bit of anxiety. When he actually gets called up before the draft board in 1918 the officers dismiss him for being short, underweight, and sickly-looking before they even get to that point. Wilson is simultaneously relieved and insulted.

This is, like, purely focused on my own personal enjoyment and not addressing the practical concerns even of other locals let alone any other current or future problems caused by climate change, but I hate how there's looking to be no such thing as a nice summer in Vancouver anymore. If it doesn't stay overcast the entire time like in 2016, holding the temperature in the hoodie-and-jeans zone except that the added insolation means you really should wear sunscreen, then the province catches one single glimpse of the sun and immediately catches fire. Either it's too cold to go to the beach, or it's hot as hell and about equally incandescent. You can't trust it to be 28C and clear for more than a weekend before either it clouds over or the countryside combusts and smog starts rolling in. Some of the ways that summer's gotten worse since I was a kid are just part of becoming an adult, but in this case it's objectively worse. It didn't always do that.

The waters of the Constant

2019-06-02T02:24:47Z

Level -1: Shipwrecked. A self-contained world from which egress is difficult and limited, lacking a few of the dangers of the Constant proper but replacing them with tropical horrors of equal or greater lethality. Its edges wrap around to each other through transcendental fog. Even reaching the world of DST from here is a challenge.

Level 0: The recently-made-passable ocean of Return of Them, and the occasional saltwater lake enclosed inland. It has small waves, it has seabirds, it has wind but not to excess, it has kelp, and it has outcroppings of rock which cannot be mined and are fit only to smash holes into poorly steered boats. It can be used to access the opposite end of the island, or the fallen moon, or further places. Even on the outskirts of the true ocean, the shadows cannot seem to reach you in any tangible sense.

Level 1: The ocean across the border of the world. Darker in colour than the familiar ocean, whose waves reach perhaps a few feet into it and then break on an unseen barrier. The surface is utterly still apart from the immediate wake of whatever boats may sail upon it. No seabirds land here. The wind can still be harnessed but does not disturb the water’s surface. Dropped items fall through the seemingly solid deck of your boat to the waters below.

Level 2: Things do not stay in one piece from instant to instant. The parts of your own body are constantly flickering in and out of existence and clipping through each other, as are the parts of your boat. Your hair is visible through your flickering hat. Your scalp is visible through your flickering hair. Insides can be seen through outsides. The world can no longer be mapped. The wind is still here. The sun rises and sets. The shadows can see you, but they cannot catch you. The hounds, however, sometimes can.

Level 3: You and your boat become invisible except from a few specific angles, and cannot even be seen by a disturbance in the water. Sound still works reliably, as does nonvisual perception, and may be your only way of changing course to return to the world.

Level 4: You can no longer be seen at all, nor can your boat.

Recent innovations in boating technology have made it possible to pass from the outer reaches of level 1 to level 3 without ever seeing the telltale space-rending effects of level 2, but its existence - if that is the correct word - has already been documented. Whether the current state of affairs is a shortcut, a suppressant, or level 2 being subsumed into its neighbours has yet to be determined.

There may be further levels, but I haven’t visited them, and I know only one person who has.

crossover time

2019-04-14T08:11:39Z

In honour of 4/13, I present to you my thoughts on what the survivors would be like as trolls, compiled from previous brainstorming sessions:

Wilson: His hints of an upper-class or upper-middle-class upbringing make me think cerulean; he’s not beefy enough to fit in with the higher highbloods and too snobby to be, say, a yellowblood. I don’t think he’d have any mind powers though, he’d be more like Mallek or Elwurd. There was a time when I thought he could be a tealblood for basically the same reasons I gave for cerulean, but Hiveswap Friendsim showed that the two centremost midblood castes have significantly more regimented lives than the castes directly above or below them.

Willow: Probably an urban lowblood; I like the concept of her having fire powers, which could probably be wedged into any blood colour below green but makes the most sense for a psionic yellowblood or maybe right on the brown/yellow boundary (we do have a Homestuck-canon example of a yellowblood with more brownblood-like psionics in Zebede, so the reverse might be an option).

Wolfgang: He comes across as a working-class country bumpkin in canon but his powers are straight out of the high blueblood playbook, which is difficult to place. He might fit in as a rare male oliveblood given that Konyyl is also huge and buff and can punch through walls, although as far as I know even really buff olivebloods aren’t on the same level as STRONG bluebloods.

Wendy: I can’t see her as anything but a redblood with all the death stuff she has going on. A necropath, to borrow the term from ceescedasticity‘s no-sburb fanfics. She and Abigail are still twins, but not psychically conjoined like the Soleils (I am of the opinion that that was only possible for them because of wacky purpleblood psychic powers); they may have hatched from the same egg, though. Some misfortune befell Abigail when they were ~5 sweeps old, and her fairly powerful ghost is following her sister around.

WX-78 is still a robot but, like, a robot with horns. (The horns also work as antennas!) There was some grisly and needlessly detailed speculation about them having blood anyhow, possibly taken from other trolls, but I’ll spare you that. Mostly they’re the same as they are in canon.

Wickerbottom: …I really want her to be a psionic yellowblood who can throw lightning around with her brain, but if she’s older than about 20 in human years (and it’d be very disconcerting for her to be the same age as everybody else) that’d probably result in her being stuffed into a helmscolumn and Spaceship Wickerbottom is not exactly what I was looking for. I did float the idea while I was brainstorming this that she’s a technician in the Fleet who since childhood has been hiding the strength of her psionics and hacking the official records accordingly; however, it would be a lot simpler if she was a teal or jade archivist. Her hatchname was Wicker but her adult title is The Librarian. (Yeah, yeah, it’s nine letters, fight me.)

Woodie: He’s easy to place – he’s a brownblood who lives in a forest and has a huge semibipedal beaver monster for a lusus – but I don’t know how to work the werebeaver into it more directly. Maybe he like… astral projects into his lusus involuntarily when the moons are both full, either instead of or in addition to communing with animals in a more standard brownblood fashion.

Wes: A Wholesome Purpleblood. He excels at chucklevoodoos and circus tricks, but sucks at fighting physically even compared to trolls much lower on the hemospectrum. Which is just as well because he’s not interested in casual murder anyway.

Wigfrid: Oliveblood would make a lot of sense, for similar reasons to Wolfgang. She could also be the high blueblood in this scenario. It wouldn’t even be implausible for her to be a purpleblood since they combine theatrical performance with violence in a vaguely similar fashion.

Webber: Has horns that look like his headlegs. That might pigeonhole him into being a yellowblood since they all have at least partially doubled horns, although I very clearly and distinctly see him as having animal communion powers rather than telekinesis, which is more of a brownblood thing. It’s extremely strong and compelling towards invertebrates, but when used on other creatures it‘s at best feeble and at worst causes them to fly into a rage and attack him. Most mammalian wildlife has the latter reaction, sometimes before he’s even consciously tried to use the power. His lusus is essentially a spider queen; he thinks of her broods of giant six-legged spiders as his siblings, and they’re the first to come to his aid.

Winona: Olive seems logical given her very working-class attitude and lack of flashy powers in DS canon. Moirails since wigglerhood with Charlie, who’s the same blood colour but about a sweep younger; it seems like the closest equivalent to sisterhood for trolls’ lack of family ties, unless I wanted to put in another set of monozygotic twins.

Maxwell: I put him as a tealblood pre-Friendsim, but for the reasons I outlined in Wilson's entry, cerulean might be better if I didn't want the troll version of him to be railroaded into law school as a young man. Having said that, I immensely enjoy the concept that in the troll version of the Don’t Starve magic system, the Nightmare Monarch’s avatar automatically turns into a tyrian-blooded seadweller no matter what blood colour they had before. I also enjoy the concept that post-throne he still has the fins but his blood’s changed back to normal and now he's effectively a mutant.

Walani: I could see her as a brownblood since she’s very fond of animals. She lives on the coast and is one of the few lowbloods who likes the ocean, possibly because she has a posse of marine life and the occasional amphibian that’d fuck anyone up if they tried to start something with her on the beach. Her lusus could be something like the Tiger Shark or a Crocodog.

Warly: The only actual seadweller here, although he leaves off the usual seadweller arrogance (except occasionally when confronted with a culinary abomination). Wants to travel the oceans, meet interesting sea creatures, and cook them.

Woodlegs: An elderly and frankly insane cerulean pirate who might have just stayed on Alternia on his pirate ship when all the adults were ordered into space hundreds of sweeps ago. If this is indeed the case and he’s roughly contemporaneous with the Summoner, both his age and his ability to evade the authorities are squarely in “how are you still alive” territory. He’s very good at what he does, even though he has no idea what century it is anymore.

Wilbur: A monkey lusus whose troll charge died long ago. He just kind of wanders around Alternia doing whatever he wants, often accompanied by ordinary Alternian monkeys who gravitate to his natural leadership.

I have no idea how to incorporate Wilba or Wormwood, I don't know Wheeler and Wagstaff well enough yet, and I don’t think Wortox would be very different (he’s not from Earth or the Constant in the first place).

I used to think Canadian bilingual food-and-other-grocery-store-things labels didn’t do much to improve the French fluency of Anglophones several provinces away from Quebec, but vaguely recalling a word that appeared on some packaging has been very helpful in the first half of the Duolingo French course. I’ve basically been going around for years with a French vocabulary consisting almost entirely of nouns and the occasional adjective, and just now learning verbs and grammar to make actual sentences out of them.

I got my glasses lenses replaced!

The left side is perfect, which is good because it was far enough off before that I went to a concert in a smallish theatre last spring and couldn't read the text on the band's kick drum out of that side, and also it had a nasty scratch right down the centre from when I smacked myself in the face with my umbrella that one time. The right side seems to be ever so slightly fuzzier than it was before, or at least fuzzier than the left side is now; the optometrist said my prescription had changed slightly and at this point I can't tell whether that was a mistake or if my eye had been compensating for the focus this whole time and just needs to get used to not having to over-correct. (I get so many damn headaches from stress and poor sleep/eating that I'd probably only notice chronic eyestrain by its absence.)

The lenses were, unfortunately, expensive as shit, so I'm not sure what happens if it turns out to be the former and I need a new one cut. Especially since I told the eye people "nah, you can toss the old lenses."

Clearly I have made some progress in Understanding Chuubo's, because I've started assigning miraculous arcs to my characters. I don't have an arc for every character or a character for every arc, but matchups are happening now. There will probably be more later as I figure out how more colours of arcs work. (These are extremely tentative because I don't actually really know what I'm talking about yet. It's a first draft.)

Joss - Reality Syndrome (Sickly Gold), at least based on the effects of her main power though not necessarily compatible with the themes of it
Dora - Creature of Fable (Frantic Red), for all that a bunch of the arc powers just kind of stick out at odd angles for Dora's character concept, the core seems appropriate
Tamsyn - parts of Creature of Delirium really work and parts of it don't particularly, but nothing else I've yet encountered seems applicable. For thematic-color-coding reasons I really want her to be on a Red arc (Black is her other theme colour but Mystic Black doesn't really line up here) and while I did give Creature of the Light a chance I think a Sickly or Frantic arc suits her better. ...Although with the right focus Spiritual could work.
Sid - Called Away (Sickly Green) - an arc that goes with the original version of his powers when they were going to spill out into the world more, before I refocused it because another player introduced a very similar thing while I was still planning mine
Thurlow - Frantic something (Renegade, maybe, which got moved around and renamed and I think it's Frantic Silver now), although Wounded Angel is a secondary possibility given all the tampering with forces beyond human comprehension they do
Emerson - Gatekeeper (Immortal Blue), many of these typings are tenuous but this one actually seems perfect for him
Milo - Become Somebody (Frantic Orange), I got a strong feeling that he needed to be on an Orange arc and I swear it's not just because his colour scheme is brown-orange-gold

I'm sort of wondering if I should spring for a rename token, because 'cameoappearance' isn't taken on here, I just went with 'cameoflage' because it was the username I used on LiveJournal. (I did the same thing on my InsaneJournal.) It took another few years for 'cameoappearance' to definitively take its place as my standard username -- that might actually have been spearheaded by the fact that I used it for my Tumblr, come to think of it, 'cameoflage' was a rival for Top Cameo Pun Username eight to ten years ago rather than a fallback username -- so at the time I wanted seamless mirroring from LJ more than I wanted consistency on that specific point.

The Swineclops wasn't released when I wrote the second portion of this on Tumblr, but I imagine Emerson would be helpful there for the same "the tanks tend to die several times" reasons as Wilson. Libby's debuff doesn't work against melee attacks and he uses only those, so she would actually be less effective against him than against the Boarrior. I'd recommend giving Joss the Blacksmith's Edge at that point since her combustion works at least as well as a combo with the parry special as WX-78's shock, only it's damage-over-time rather than damage with a stun. Gareth's a good second tank for the Swineclops but his intangibility dodge means the Blacksmith's Edge is kinda wasted on him, so give him a hammer or something. Aggie is probably my third choice for a Swineclops tank, just because of their vast ocean of hit points.

(Originally posted July 2017)

This game has a lot of jargon and I am here to explain it to you so that both of us can keep it straight. Inspired by the enduring popularity of the Changeling one, which continues to get a slow but steady drip of notes to this day.
This cheat sheet is derived purely from Promethean 1e. I’ve tried to be as accurate as possible to 1e lore and mechanics, but if you’re using it with 2e there will be inaccuracies wherever I reference something that was changed between editions.

A Lone Wanderer I haven't used in forever but went to the trouble of rescuing from LJ:
Joanne Bryant | Fallout 3 | thekidfrom101

Muse that didn't work out, but might come back with the right prompt or sufficient prodding:
No Name McGee the zombie | Hanna Is Not A Boy's Name | beganwitha_d

Don't Starve characters that available space, energy, or my desire not to flood the cast list prevent me from putting in a game at the moment:
Wendy Carter | Don't Starve (Together) | fullofemptiness
Webber | Don't Starve (Together) | two_souls_wedged_inside
Walani | Don't Starve (Together) | moisturized_inmylane

TTRPG OCs:

52 Robert Sheehan Icons
