A little list of resources and alternatives to get through you chatbot addiction :) Distractions are always helpful, so I recommend trying a bunch of these!
If you have anything to add, please contact me on tumblr or discord and I will happily add it to the list :D
sending love <3
Alternatives
- HOBBIES! ANY HOBBY. They are amazing distractions, I promise
- Self-insert fanfiction!
- WRITE fanfiction!!!!!!!! It can be shit, it can be short, it can be stupidly, it can be cringe, it can barely make sense… but it’s yours!
- blogs like @soft-selfship-imagines. You don’t have to think of yourself as a selfshipper for these to work! Just imagine one of the bots you chat with the most <3
- Worldbuild! What does your cai world look like? Draw it! Write about it! Make it in the sims!
- boyfriend/girlfriend/partner asmr. Hear me out, this one is known to be crazy cringe but honestly give it a try if you’re truly struggling.
- Fandom OC ask games
- Roleplaying with real people. This one can seem intimidating, but there are hundreds of people on Tumblr and Discord and other platforms that would love to do this. You can even make a roleplaying blog where you Roleplay as a specific character. Just make sure to be safe!
- Roleplaying on Roblox/Minecraft/etc. Yes, it’s known to be ‘childish’ but if you’re not into the freakiest of rps this is a good alternative.
- Oc Social Network (OCSN) kind of like Twitter but for all your oc’s and favourtie characters! You can post, rp with others, etc.
- Create Pinterest boards inspired by your characters/canon characters. It’s very fun lol
- Write songs/music inspired by characters. It’s okay if you can’t play an instrument, it’s a really fun experience. I recommend making a rap about them lmao.
- Bonus points for the last one, make a diss track.
- Make outfits inspired by your characters/characters you chat with on cai. This can be on Pinterest or irl.
- Make some silly fake texts or fake tweets of conversations between you and other characters heres a list of more!
- Oc Maker
- Make a music playlist for an oc/character. Here’s a checklist
- Drawing the characters you Roleplay with/as! If you can’t draw, use picrew!!
- Add on to the last one, here is a Reddit thread of a bunch of character-maker games (like picrew)
- Incorrect quote generator. Just insert your ocs or characters and it spits out funny little dialogues!
- Reality shifting! (Be CAREFUL. This can cause delusions and mental health issues.)
- r/roleplaying be careful, always! A lot of rps are NSFW and it’s common to get ghosted by rp partners.
- r/roleplay same as above, requires less karma to join!
- youraislopboresme a super fun website where you get to pretended to be an ai for people :)
- Tomadochi Life: Living the Dream is a game on Nintendo switch with little characters called “Mii’s”! It’s a sandbox game that lets you do anything you want with your little characters!! (GENUIENLY SO FUN)
- Podcasts, audiobooks, and comfort audios on YouTube.
- Rolemate: an 18+ mobile roleplaying app that helps you find rp partners.
- Interactive Visual Novels: Games like Episode or The Arcana are super fun! (they also often include 18+ scenes, fyi)
