“Poor you. Complaining because you’ve no Samurai to kill. What a tragedy!” Aku blinked away imaginary tears.
“AT LEAST ONE OF US CAN DO WHAT WE SET OUT TO DO CORRECTLY. AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED I AM THE ONE TRUE AKU. THE MASTER OF ALL OTHER AKU. BECAUSE UNLIKE THE REST OF YOU, I KILLED THE SAMURAI!”
“What’s that?” Aku cupped a hand beside his head as if cupping it around an invisible ear. “I could not hear you over…” He summoned forth the sword and held it between his forefingers.
“THE SOUND OF THE SAMURAI’S BLADE COLLECTING DUST IN MY TROPHY CABINET. For I have also slain one of the Samurai, which in turn means there are TWO True Akus!” He grinned proudly. “You see, I was busy while you were away.”
Well that was certainly a surprise. He hadn’t expected that in the
slightest. He however slumped in his chair a bored expression spreading
across his face.
“WELCOME TO THE CLUB THEN. THERE IS NOTHING TO DO AND NO MORE SATISFACTION IN DESTROYING ANYTHING WITHOUT SOMEONE TO RUIN IT. IT IS A STRANGE FEELING WITHOUT THE SAMURAI…. I HAVE NO ENEMY NOW THAT CAN DO SO MUCH AS HARM ME….. ITS JUST FAR TOO EASY NOW.”
“What you might call boredom, I call r e l a x a t i o n. Now you can focus on things besides the Samurai, like expanding your glorious reign of evil to encompass the entire universe.”
“But I warn you not to get too comfy. There are still more Samurai out there in other timelines. Not to mention other enemies, some worse than the Samurai. You have not forgotten about the gods have you?”
me at 14: lmfaoooo all those “dont trust strangers on the internet” psa’s are sooooooo laaaaaame. like! i love talking to so many friends around the world about anime!!! i love rping!!!!!!!!!
me at 20: theres a deep and insidious culture within rp communities where the majority of folks who joined them as young teens were preyed on and abused by much older adults and i wish i had more guidance on how to avoid these situations as a child.
can i just
PSA for teens:
the people in your rp group are most likely older than you are. make sure that it is an established thing that you know their ages, or at least whether or not theyre 18+, AND that you’re a minor.
you do not have to give away any personal information that you don’t want to. the people you rp with might start to give out their names, where they live, and other personal details as you all get to know each other. if you’re pressured to giving out any personal info, you might want to reconsider your trust in them.
if it’s something impersonal like omegle where you’ll probably never talk to the other person again, be wary. you don’t know if that other person is 16 or 30. at some point probably ask out of character about their age, or just straight up say you’re a minor and see if they’re cool with it.
you do not have to rp sex scenes. especially with older people, and no matter what your IRL experience. i was pressured into smut rp when i was 15, with a person who was at least 21. i’d never even had my first kiss before at that point. don’t do it.
it’s okay to say no to scene ideas. no matter what they are, if you don’t want to do them then you don’t have to.
make sure that the people you rp with censor or tag explicit content. if they don’t, or if they make fun of you when you ask, that’s probably a big red flag.
PSA for adults:
censor your shit. everything from gore/violence to smut– if it would put the rating of a movie up to at least a PG-13, tag it.
if you don’t want to rp with kids, find a group that’s 18+. there’s a bunch out there.
if you DO rp with kids, remember that they are just teenagers. 17 year olds now were born in the year 2000. 16 year olds are still in high school. they don’t have the life experiences you do, and you need to take that into account.
do not make fun of people who don’t want to do a scene. don’t pressure people, and take care with how you prompt someone who’s a minor.
don’t rp sex scenes with minors. like. yall
if you see another adult pressuring a minor into doing smth, or if they’re just interacting with a minor in any weird way, privately message them and remind them. i was doing a smut scene with someone my age, and another rp partner seven years older than me was lurking in our private chatroom to watch it. nobody else said anything. don’t let that shit be normal.
i can’t think of more tips but tldr: communicate!!!!! keep each other safe!!!! god
PSA for EVERYONE
It’s not all about adults preying on kids. Adults can pressure other adults into doing things they don’t want to do. I was over 18 when I started RPing and was pushed into ships and playing smut that I didn’t want to play but was too nervous to say ‘No’ because I didn’t want to upset anyone. Likewise, kids can pressure other kids into doing things they don’t want to do, too. Just like in Real Life.
Rule of thumb: if ANYONE is pressuring you to do something you don’t feel comfortable with, hit the X button and never talk to them again. If I’d only had the balls to do that when I first starting RPing, I would have saved myself a lot of trouble.
Also, if you’re under 18, DO NOT PRETEND YOU ARE 18+ IN ORDER TO PLAY SMUT WITH AN ADULT. This hasn’t happened to me personally but it does happen. Please respect people and stay in your lanes. If an RPer’s rules state they don’t play with kids, RESPECT THEIR RULES.
