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!

This is true in the case of other crimes as well, but the key to deceiving one’s enemy is to suppress one’s own emotions and to act entirely contrary to ordinary human nature. Because humans tend to judge the thoughts of others against their own, once they make a mistaken judgment, they do not notice their own error.

I'm kinda sad. I thought the ending would be everyone would have this one epic battle in the End for so long. Since the End has been off limits for so long I though they were going to do something with it when everything ended and the left the DreamSMP for good. Like everyone would enter through the portal, all ready for this epic battle, everyone would be against each other, picking sides, teaming up, betraying, all at the same time. Fully decked out in Netherite armor, then they would see the dragon and everyone would start screaming in confusion. Some braver people like maybe Technoblade, or Wilbur would try to kill the dragon. (Guess that isn't happening.) Others would try to hide and run away from the people they made enemies with who are trying to kill them. And admist the chaos and confusion of everyone involved, someone would kill the dragon. Then as the dragon floats into the sky and turns into a show of purple lights, people would hug each other, say goodbye, 'cause the world is going to end before their eyes, then black. And everyone logs off for the final time.
So summary: I thought the DreamSMP would end in an epic battle in the end and when the dragon was killed, everyone would log off. It would be a cool way to end it. I guess not. :(
I won't keep you long. Here are the facts:
Siraj Abudayeh @siraj2024 is a Gazan journalist and a father of three.
He and his family have been displaced 7 times.
They have survived multiple recent massacres in Khan Yunis.
They live in a tent that feels like a "convection oven".
He can hear tank fire across the street.
His parents and siblings escaped Deir al-Balah and are now homeless; he has to care for them too.
He needs to raise $5,000 CAD / $3653 USD by the end of the day.
He's probably gotten a hundred thousand notes on his posts at this point.
This has been meaningless. His campaign moves at a glacial pace.
The Palestinian genocide is the fault of the US, UK, Israel, and the imperial core in general.
When we in the imperial core do not donate to people like him, we perpetuate the genocide.
