:p
Alright, let’s talk about it: Everyone keeps complaining that no one interacts, but at the same time, the only thing I see is "interact with me/my blog" and then? Nothing...
So, instead of just shouting into the void, why not write what you actually want? Angst? Fluff? Silly moments? Drama? Long-term arcs? Just say it, and people will know how to approach you!
1. Use the Resources Available!
I have already built multiple blogs to help people interact, but they only work if you use them!
→ The @bsd-rp-masterlist sorts everyone by organization, AU, etc. It’s literally designed for you to find people easily!
Example: "I have an OC in the ADA. Let’s check who else is there and start a conversation!"
The Masterlist also collects independent characters: consider recruiting them into organizations or even founding your own! If you see someone missing, help me find and add them!
→ @bsd-yokohama: This isn’t just a generic rp setting. It’s a city I carefully mapped out based on BSD’s unique version of Yokohama. Many places in BSD don’t exist in real life, so I used Google Street View to find the location where it could be and marked them accordingly. I’ve included key spots from the series and made sure to create a city that feels immersive and alive. Use it to place your character in specific locations and build natural interactions!
→ @bsd-bdays helps you check who has a birthday coming up so you can throw maybe an rp party!
We all live in the same city. Why don’t we act like it? If we were actually in Yokohama, we wouldn’t just sit at home screaming "Interact with me!" and then sulk when nothing happens. We’d go out and do things. So let’s create events and shared moments:
I already made 2 missions, but I also want to introduce city-wide events. And not just any events, but events that make your characters feel real. What are they passionate about? What skills or professions do they have? Let’s bring that into the city!
→ A writer could host a book reading or a literary discussion at a café. → A painter might hold a vernissage at the Yokohama Museum of Art. → A detective character could get involved in solving a high-profile case. → A journalist might uncover a major scandal. → A chef could organize a ramen contest. → A scientist might present a breakthrough discovery. → A local bar could host a karaoke night that gets wildly out of hand.
Think outside the box! Yokohama isn’t just a backdrop! It’s a city waiting to be lived in. If you have an idea that could work as a mission or a city-wide event, tell me (@bsd-yokohama)! I’d love to incorporate it!
Something I love from Vampire the Masquerade (which I rp in real life as pen&paper) is forming small groups, "coteries", even across enemy factions:
→ Why not have an ADA, Port Mafia, and Guild member who always meet at the cemetery for goth picnics?
→ Or create independent gangs, new organizations, or just a group of friends who always hang out at the same bar?
Think beyond basic interactions – build something that lasts!

Rare pair:
Spanish(the language) x Japanese(the language).
I feel like they flow into each other really well.
None of this means anything to me but being able to read the lines is funny in concept so I'm screenshotting it just in case someone else wants to look at it. Also the fact that he gets warnings towards the end there cracks me up (this is the screen while Fyodor is setting up the elevator to flood in Meursault)
I'm running out of things to say...
hi
Oh fuck. I forgot to credit the person that did the english translation of Fifteen! Credits to DarkestJay868!
Happy Birthday Chuuya!
Searching for memories that aren’t there, this heart of mine Closes itself up, languishes like an old moldy box of trinkets And then there are these sunken cheeks, these cracked lips- Bitterness bred in cruelty comes rushing out in silence…
I’ve grown accustomed to it all, and have leaned to bear it But sometimes any degree of loneliness can bring you down And while I cannot know for sure, sometimes it seems as if These tears are no longer tears for having loved someone…

Soiled Sorrow: today too snow falls on it; soiled sorrow: today too wind blows on it.
Soiled sorrow is like, say, a fox’s fur; soiled sorrow in its torpor dreams of death.
Soiled sorrow frightens me piteously; soiled sorrow can’t be remedied, and the sun sets…
- Nakahara Chūya, “Soiled Sorrow” from The Poems of Nakahara Chūya
Now in this world full of sadness, Don’t let your heart harden. For the sake of whatever intimacy we could have, Don’t let your heart harden.
Hardened, the heart is oblivious to the world, And words fall silent on the soul. Nurturing serenity, man returns to that dreaminess Known at the beginning, and can make sense of it all.
- Nakahara Chūya, “Untitled” from Poems of the Goat

You are the Dark Queen—the most powerful being of your entire universe. Your lair is breached by an aspiring hero—a pitiful thing, easily crushed.
Except they keep coming back.
