hello, i’m nine and i’m here to tell my truth, as ridiculous and stupid that sounds, because you people have been only reading one side of the situation and i don’t think that’s fair.

i joined with nailea devora to a group recently after more than a year of not even getting near to groups in general because as a lot of us know, people can’t control themselves and the hate they throw on a daily basis is honestly gross and my mental health can’t deal with that, but alas i was back for something i thought was fun, playing a dumb nepo baby who gets whatever she wants and plays dumb about it but in reality she had her ups and downs. she took me a while to figure out because i do love my characters and writing them

during the first party of said group, there was a mixup and characters had to dress up and poppy’s group (she was the manager) decided on cowboys, now tell me, what would you do? because i jumped onto pinterest and found several pictures of nailea wearing a cowboy hat and i picked the cutest ones i found

did i check her age at the moment? no, because nailea is 21 years old and my character as well... why would i (and i quote someone from said rp) carbon date the pictures of my character?

so i posted it and kept the party, poppy was around all day and as of the day i dropped her, she had the most tweet count in the entire group (if that tells you anything)

during the party she was flirting with another character she liked since day 1 and they’ve been talking and it wasn’t a sexual relationship, just flirting like literally everyone in that group or the entire rpc for that matters

him qrt that picture and poppy jokingly said “you let a cowboy ride you” or something like that, she never said anything actually inappropriate on main because she didn’t even say it on dms.

and this is when things get wild because the yuqi fc started fights with everyone and i get that some characters are just assholes, i love villains in media, but in my opinion, some kind of ooc talk must exist before you right on attack someone on main, out of good manners at least (but we all know not everyone has that privilege)

poppy ended up blocking the yuqi fc out of principle, she wasn’t gonna let some biter bitch to ruin her night (which ended with her sleeping alone btw, seeing as how much they care about my character’s sexual life)

after that, the yuqi fc kept posting indirects or very direct attacks to my character, at one point it was all they posted and ignored it, i don’t like to get into drama that way and if they couldn’t kept poppy out of their mind.. well everyone has haters, right?

this went on for WEEKS and poppy only cared about it when her friends sent her ss of the post cai made, and she was annoyed because her friends used to confront xem only for cai to laugh about it and not even give a good explanation

i talked to the admins about changing my fc or even drop the group but i was convinced to stay because i haven’t been done anything bad.

guess what? the bullying kept going.

when i dropped the group for a day, i was tired of it (and other problems my chara found herself into even though it wasn’t plotted, again) and as soon as i left, cai mun posted an “apology” to the tl saying how it was a ooc thing that went ic for some reason.

now to clarify, i have no idea who this person is and honestly i don’t want to give them the privilege to meet me or talk to me because someone with that much hate in their person is just not someone i want in my life.

they claimed that the picture with the cowboy hat was of nailea being underage, which i can’t say 100% sure, but nailea deleted all of her underage pictures from instagram and this one was posted 3 years ago, when she was 18/19 years old.

yes, younger than the limit for the group, but that doesn’t mean she was underage or even that i was using that to “infantilize” her, poppy was a very complex character and i don’t see how someone who was blocked for 90% of the time could say something about the way i played her...

and speaking about the “sexting on main” i never did that and feel free to stalk my old account, the only “racy” thing i posted was a tiktok and it wasn’t even that graphic and again, it was posted for another person poppy was talking (not in a romantic way)

but i don’t know, let the person obsessed with mario bros and calling themselves a “princess” for the entirety of the group to tell you who’s being childish

ㅤFor muns with multiple muses, past and present, on any blog. Fill out the form according to which muse suits each title best. (The same muse can have multiple titles.) Repost and tag. Feel free to add more!

ㅤ— just me casually referencing byan along with my two boys over on @nagweon. could i include my canon muses? sure, probably. but i'm an oc guy now.

Favorite Muse: ...b-byan (don't tell the boys)

Most Character Development: also byan. despite being the newest, they've had so much more of my attention and thus more time to develop.

Trash Muse: byan, duh. absolute shitchild (affectionate)

The Meme-Lord: still byan

Most Likely to Start a War: again, byan. they're too violence-inclined to not take this one.

Worst Personality: okay this is getting repetitive now. byan. the other two are like, actually good people with more positive traits than negative ones

Best Singer: hmm... byan if they put the effort in, otherwise si-u?

Most Attractive Muse: asjdksjf two of my muses are minors (even if their fcs aren't), so we'll go with minjoon. if we were to go based more on fc though... this might change. maybe. stop looking at me like that

Biggest Heart: i wanna say si-u, but it's probably minjoon. he's just that tiny bit more empathetic and a lot more forgiving. forgiving to a fault, a lot of the time.

Falls in Love Quickest: none of them fall very quickly, but considering he has the least amount of trust issues... probably minjoon.

Most Likely to Drop Their Phone in the Toilet: joon again tbh. he's not even that clumsy, but he is a little careless

Ice Ruler: ...si-u? where byan runs hot when angry, si-u runs cold

The Edgelord: obviously byan. punkass knife kid who picks fights and hates the world.

Most Tragic Backstory: i'd say both the orphans are pretty equally tied. if we were to go based on verse though, i'd say si-u is the more tragic one in undercity verse and byan is just a little more tragic in modern verse

Best Case of Puberty: ...byan. v babyfaced kid who grows into... i mean. *gestures at jk*

Most Awkward: si-u, for sure

Busy Bee: joon, probably! the only adult and only one with a job lmao

Most Clueless: byan? byan. v lowkey thembo energy

Most Likely to Forget Their Wallet at Home: joon. byan is too obsessive about their things and si-u is too AnxiousTM to forget anything

Best Dressed: byan wins this one by default as the only one who cares about what they wear. but they're also very fashionable in their own eccentric, cutesy, punky way

Biggest Flirt: byan. flirting is a weapon they wield to get what they want

Most Dramatic: byan once again

Least Likely to Show Up Late: si-u. the other two literally just don't care about being late.

One with Weirdest Habit: that's actually a hard one... it's gotta be byan or minjoon. joon lets his familiar answer the door and byan will spontaneously give themself a tattoo just about anywhere or paint their nails in an alley while jamming to music. ...it's probably byan.

Most Likely to Be Caught at the Gym: byan by default as the only one who remotely cares about fitness. they may or may not actually start going to the gym in their college verse too tbh, haven't decided yet. the other two though? never. both for very different reasons.

tagged by:ㅤ@babyitsmagic ty!! ♡

Video

youtube

I know we still have roughly three weeks until @chromosome23hq officially closes shop, but I wanted to make sure I made this and posted it when: 1) I had the time, and 2) people are still lurking around.

The longest RP I ran was for eleven months in 2016. At the end of its run, a member posted a video they had planned on posting on our one year anniversary (but, by then, I was the only mod and I wanted to die). This has stuck with me and, even now, I still go back to watch it every now and again.

Mind you, her editing skills were far superior to my own and her formatting of the video was very different (but gotta keep it organized, right?). In any case, credit to her for inspiring this.

Now, into the spiel:

C23 has truly been the best roleplay experience of my entire career. Every character was so unique, every mun was such a brilliant writer, it felt like a family, and the admins genuinely cared. Be it because of member inactivity or admins losing motivation, it’s so easy for RPs to die within a week nowadays, but this one truly thrived! And I thank the admins so much for that. Every plot-drop was just as exciting as the last, every narrative point was just as fun to explore.

I don’t know if I’ll ever find another open RP that is even slightly akin to this one. Like... I literally had a thread with Gray where Vera and Ezra were vivisecting each other and loving it... I just don’t think things like that, and FCs like Abe Sapien and King Shark, happen very often in the RPC! And I am so grateful that we got to branch into the strange and outlandish here.

Izzy, Kashia, Tin -- thank you for making this such a wonderful experience. And Tibby, wherever you are, thank you for the months you spent refining, too! Every time I get dressed for my ‘Jason’s victim’ role, I think of you. This admin team is absolutely beautiful and I’m so glad I got to know each and every one of y’all. Care about the RP, care about the members! I hope you all enjoyed it just as much as we did.

Finally, Tin? I hope this RP lasting ~15 months longer than you thought it would was worth it! That sounds sarcastic, but it’s not!

#q !#<- queue'ing this so i dont become a huge sap when it publishes!#(also this is not my official goodbye i do still plan on doing a couple replies but. like. read the first paragraph for why im posting #it already LHFADKS)#(for folks who dont get on the dash anymore but are still in the ooc chat. like. i do plan on posting this there. but gotta not be a sap!)#i hope everyone likes my imovie usage!#(also i had to do tibby's characters by memory so i am so sorry if i forgot some!!)

... 𝔞𝔟𝔬𝔲𝔱 𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔪𝔲𝔫 ; 𝔱𝔞𝔤 𝔪𝔢𝔪𝔢

name: skye

pronouns: she/they , i fluctuate between the two so idm

preference of communication : tumblr ims , mainly because i’m getting very forgetful on discord but for some thread partners i’ll def offer it

name of most active muse(s) : right now i’m obviously on my aeron targaryen bs as he’s a trial muse and i’m enjoying feeling him out (he’s also completely new as a muse to me) , but generally speaking i’m feeling vik , aeron , lia and vida. i adore all my OCs though , so none are really ever inactive on unloved.

platforms you’ve used : don’t @ me okay , it was neopets like 14 centuries ago agfhraf. tbh thats where i learned custom html and page editing with graphics , etc. so i kind of cut my teeth aesthetic and world building-wise there. there was a brief month or so where i discovered that rp was a thing in the game ... but then someone on one of the forums mentioned that i should look into tumblr as a platform. that was probably 13/14 years ago

best experience : aside from the wholesomeness of meeting people in this community , honestly i gotta give a nod to the fact that i learned so much and was able to really evolve my creativity skills with likeminded people. i’ve also loved when wholesome collaboration leads to an amazing rp world / group , seeing people love and flourish within a rp group that i made / make and run is a really awesome feeling.

rp pet peeves / dealbreakers : it’s always been , for me , muse collecting or fc collecting. like within a group with no muse cap , people who snap up the most Aesthetic fcs and have 8765 of them , barely use them or they’re all the same character seasoned slightly different .. and in the indie world it’s that and when people like ?? duplicate storylines that you worked hard to create with a different muse/mun without even checking? i’ve had so many ideas stolen that way. another one of mine that’s always been an issue is when you put in a lot of effort to establish details and content to give your partner ample things to react and interact with and then they give you back like ... two lines and maybe three syllables of dialogue. and also people fetishising my masc muses and leaving my fem muses to the wind , ick , get ready to catch an unfollow and the dropped threads if i feel that way.

fluff, angst, or smut : it’s angst , smut and then fluff for me — my muses dont lend themselves to over-softness and fluffiness , i usually have one ( lia flowers rn ) who is a softer character but just happy-life-no-drama-wholesomeness bores me ajkf gimme chaos and something i can delve into and explore the ic reactions , monologues , psychology , etc of it.

plots or memes : i always live in fear of the mistake of over-plotting ... like when you flesh out so many ideas that the concept of writing through the known journey and storyline loses its appeal. i like a good skeleton plot and context and then to let the muses flow as they see fit , i have definitely grown to love the meme threads because i feel like it’s a perfect way to dry-run your muses against another - whether an au or not.

long or short replies : i am incapable of less that two thicc af paragraphs and i will not apologise ( yes , i will , endlessly, it’s my toxic trait ngl )

best time to write : late afternoon - evening time for me , which is a dangerous game because when i should be sleeping or getting ready to wind down all my fkn partners are coming online ajkfh.

are you like your muse(s): there’s pieces of me in all of them ; vida knows how to live off the land and how to stand through poverty and not having a home , errick channels his anger into physical activities and upped his skills because of it , branden guards himself and his secrets without flinching to protect himself and those he loves , lia looks to achieve praise for her diligent work because she criticises herself endlessly , vik doesn’t want to be tied to family expectations but is too moral to abandon them , and tiathia’s moral compass is modeled after my own. the intricate details such as personal habits , likes, affinities , etc ; they’re inspired by things that i like , and lbr here .... the Spicy Blog and my muses Spicy Details come from my own brain.

#𝔱𝔥𝔢𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔢𝔡𝔯𝔦𝔣𝔱𝔢𝔯 ⸻ an independent and fandomless OC blog hosting a story-driven, layered character. Medium activity. Penned by an old crow, Rudy Grimm

From a normal man to a beast on the full moon, Gabriel became a monster. Wanted for the arrest of murdering his lover, he fled the country again, and now wanders the world. It's not just the law he's running from, but the Australian Centre for Disease Control. Having already been poked and prodded by scientists before the crime, Gabriel fears becoming a live experiment for the government. Chased by the law, private investigators, and a grieving family seeking answers. It changes you. Turning to a life of crime to line his pockets with more money, Gabriel has become a drifter, going from town to town, city to city, forever running. Will he ever find closure? Be apart of his story, and discover what becomes of the were drifter!

THE BLOG : Medium activity with high spurts, verses are modern day supernatural which is the main, split into 3 separate timelines for development purposes, princess bride(loose medieval), human, mafia, zombie apocalypse and a separate guest villain. Muse is gay. Only straight for @malka-lisitsa . M x M for romantic and smut. Open to platonic, friend and family plots. Please read my rules below the cut before interacting.

Please refrain from liking the post!

Tag directory | Verses | Prompts | Romance character sheet | About

Please have tumblr etiquette in regards to asks or I will unfollow. If you answer an ask and it continues beyond that initial post, please make a separate post, if you reblog the ask itself, it cannot be cut and clogs my feed. I will still engage you. I am NOT mutuals exclusive. If you have a tag for that, I can simply block the tag, and remain following.

I don't roleplay on discord.

I will not engage with anime, video game, cartoon fcs, or muses with no fcs. In hand with this. I will NOT write doubles of Drew Van Acker or Nina Dobrev. These faces are lovingly taken by @oceanicxeyes & @malka-lisitsa.

I will not engage with smut blogs. The only exception to that is @wickcdmindz. and @writtensins. Story > smut However, if you give me development or slow burn, your chances will sky-rocket.

No forcing a narrative. Natural chemistry is required. Muse is in his 30s, the youngest he'll be romantic with is 28.

Don't bring your drama here. If I see you engaging in negative OOC callouts/witch hunts etc, I will block you.

Gif usage is not mandatory. Icons and gifs are 150 x 150. Additionally, icons for verse 2 are done by the wonderful @mermakes! Gifs are pulled from public gif packs and pinterest.

God modding | Meta gaming: You are the only person in control of your character. This means that you cannot control another character, assume the outcome of an engagement before I've had a chance to react, or have your character know something that is only known out of character. The only instance this is allowed is if it was agreed between us. If you are concerned that you might be, just ask.

I strongly prefer one thread per partner because I overwhelm easy. I make exceptions, you just need to ask me.

Threads will be auto dropped at the 2 month mark if I’ve heard no word.

My character is multi-ship unless stated otherwise.

Inclusive: I will write with any nationality, or race. If our stories can mesh, have at thee!

Mun is a ND (neurodivergent) which in simple terms means I have ADHD. I am disability friendly, and autistic spectrum friendly! Let's be silly together!

I can handle and communicate uncomfortable conversations, and would like those who engage with me to be capable of the same. I’m an adult, and cannot do hints or assumptions. If you need to drop the thread, or you are seeking clarification, please ask me. I swear I'm sweet!

Dashboard reply speed: I am in the social worker field, so I’m very drained and I’d prefer quality over quantity but I’m always available via IM.

I do occasionally reblog non-reply posts. I will also reblog homosexual gif sets from time to time. This can be blocked, as can all tags on my blog by visiting the tag directory above so you aren't forced to see anything you don't want too. Audiences have the right to curate their dash. ALL NSFW content should be with 21+ muns; a strong preference to those closer to 30 and over.

Most importantly, I will no longer be making an attempt to reach out if people follow this blog. The amount of energy I have spent reaching out to every single one of my followers in the past has reaped very little reward. I reward those who have idea we can start with, no matter how bare bones it is. Don't prefer to plot? Jump in my prompts tag and send a prompt! I appreciate people making any effort, Gabriel is a deep character and I want to share my passion with other passionate writers. This does not apply if I follow you first/reblogged something from you that shows my interest. I will come to those I follow.

sincerely-krp · 4 months

you just need to know where to find one but if you want me to list out a few, i can help! // anon, plz say more. i want to get back into forum rp but when i left the jcink platform the whole community was attacking anyone using a korean face as a fetishizer. has that changed? or are there actual krp's on the platform now?//

as long as you dont solely use korean fcs on non krp forums, you're eager to plot and as long as your character has a solid background for development opportunities, the jcink rpc is pretty chill after a lot of very huge resource site shut down. the issue was a mess too, causing a lot of people to leave both from lack of resources available for public use for free and people just decided to focus more on irl things now that half of the community comprises of mature writers. but the remaining peeps who are still actively contributing are very eager to help anyone willing to join! my advice is to check the member directory for each site to see if there's a diverse range of faces used. but dont use this as an excuse to make only korean characters and try not to use exclusively korean faces. also, reach out to other members for plotting opportunities as well!

some of the sites i'm in and have heard of are:

driving towards death (a supernatural rl town set in alaska) has a pretty diverse range of characters and supernatural creatures, including east asian and southeast asian mythological creatures. https://drivingtowarddeath.jcink.net/index.php

@lucidjcink has a very strict rule on racebending and the portrayal of korean culture. it's an idol/supernatural rp set in seoul with tons of species and idol groups to choose from. i haven't had the time to drop by to say hi but i have been lurking on the forums and have plans on making a character soon. this rp is invite only and you're required to fill in a gform and answer a bunch of questions as part of the screening process though so do take your time.

sleepless in seoul (rl crime) is a newly established rp, but the members are pretty active. i also haven't had the time to make a character but the rp has an interesting premise with lots of interesting character requests to grab! and the admins are always happy to welcome newcomers and im sure they're happy to help you get situated on how jcink roleplaying works <3

https://sleeplessinseoul.jcink.net/index.php?act=idx

seeing double (rl scifi about clones/crime), my current humble abode, has long been established with a small amount of members but they do have tons of canons and character requests to choose from too! so you'll always have pre-established plotting opportunities with the other members. there's plenty of character opportunities available due to the diverse nature of the site's lore. there's canons for idols/ent industry and college student characters and many others as well, so im sure your character will fit in just nicely. this rp is pretty quiet and activities are lax (most muns are mature writers with irl responsibilities), but do come over and make yourself known. i would definitely make a character solely for you :') https://weseedouble.jcink.net/index.php?act=idx

golden era (historical fantasy) has a pretty diverse range of races too! i have seen someone use exo's suho and actor kim soohyun for their characters and was pretty active mingling well with the other muns. i was on this site last year before i have to leave due to irl responsibilities but this site was fun to join! they're still running despite the low activities but dont let that deter you from joining. it just means that posting requirements are lax and very forgiving <3 https://goldenrpx.jcink.net/

overall, these are the sites im in/was in/have heard of that are pretty welcoming with asian faces! im pretty sure there's many more western forum rps that are pretty welcoming with poc faces but i dont have any experience with any other sites besides the ones listed above so i cannot say much. i would also like to add that the roleplayers in the jcink rpc are mostly in their mid 20s to late 30s, meaning that everyone are adults with irl responsibilities, so thread replies can be pretty unpredictable. but dont let that bother you or make you sad because the rp is inactive! the jcink rpc in general is pretty lax with their activity and wordcount requirements. hmu at discord @loeykji_ if you need to get situated to forum roleplaying 🫶🏻

phantom-overdose · 8 months

Text

Hello! My name is Sapph! Welcome to my RP blog!

This blog is for a few (secondary) indie OCs for the band Phantom Overdose. This blog will be very low activity and highly selective, it's mostly just a sideblog to go with Cassia's blog so that if anyone wants to write with any of the boys in her band, they can! I hate to word it this way- but if you don't also write at least a little with Cassia, I probably won't write with you here. She's my primary muse and I'm very open about the fact that I will be prioritizing her over this blog. Again, this blog is more just a side blog for a little extra world building and such.

I'm currently working on putting a page together for the band that will give slightly more in depth information about them! For now, though: THIS IS A QUICK RUN DOWN OF THE CHARACTERS! I'm willing to write any of the band members, current or former, as well as their manager and road manager, though the current band members are the ones I'm focused on <3

(Last Update: 9/9/2024)

Here are a few things to know (Feel free to read just the bolded stuff if you’re in a hurry, the unbolded just elaborates):

Mun is 25+ and will only rp with those who are 18+! If you aren’t 18+ please don’t interact. I’m just not comfortable with it.

I don’t write much smut, so I apologize if things head that way and I end up dropping the thread without warning (I don’t usually drop threads intentionally, it’s probably just stuck in my drafts until I’m in the headspace to write it, but that day might never come, so I apologize).

I have a separate side blog for nsfw content! I'll reblog some smutty stuff over there, though in general I prefer to write it on discord. It's not a smut shaming thing and I'll never judge anyone for writing it on their main blog! I just don't feel confident in my smut writing abilities so I like to keep it a bit separate sometimes. I will also never shame you for kinks or anything! To each their own <3

I’m super slow with replies most of the time. Totally feel free to give me a nudge if it’s been a while since I’ve replied. (On this blog, I'd say if it's been more than 2 months nudge me.) I lose track of stuff so easily and then feel like I’m not allowed to reply to it when I remember it because it’s been a while ^^;

This blog is going to be highly selective and very low activity. It's really just meant to be more of an extension of Cass's universe than something fully stand alone.

I won't be doing a lot of shippy stuff on this blog. That doesn't mean I won't do it at all, but I'll be highly selective about shipping, too. I want to focus more on the characters as themselves than as parts of ships. That's not to say I won't ship them from time to time, it's just not a priority for this blog. I just don't want anyone coming over here with the intention of shipping with one of the boys because they like the fc and then it not happening and them getting disappointed. So please come into this with the thought of befriending the boys and such, not so much with shipping in mind.

REBLOG KARMA: I try to be respectful and reblog things from the source or from a meme blog or whatever because I understand why people don’t want to be feel like they’re being used as a meme source. If I ever reblog something from you that isn’t a reply, I’m sorry. I try not to let it happen, but sometimes it does.

That said: REBLOG WHATEVER YOU WANT FROM ME. Seriously, it doesn’t bother me at all. You don’t even have to send me a meme to reblog it. Just... go ahead. Reblog it. It’s totally fine by me <3 (Though I would definitely prefer if you sent me a meme when you reblog.)

OOC conversation can be really hard for me. I try and usually I’m fine when it comes to plotting, but I drop the ball a lot or come off as cold a lot because I just don’t have the energy to talk ooc a lot of the time. Please don’t take it personally, it’s just that my social battery is usually at 40% or less in general oTL I also have AvPD which makes social interactions extra difficult for me. On bad days, you might see me on dash but not get an ooc answer from me. Again- it's nothing against you! I'm just bad at social interaction.

I may add more rules at a later point, but I think these are the most important ones <3

MUSES THAT RELATE TO THE BAND: Eric Brentwood- 22 - Lead Vocalist / Pianist James Miller - 22 - Rhythm Guitarist Nicholas Key - 21 - Bass Guitarist Lucian Turner - 21 - Drummer Jesse Midfield - 22 - Former Lead Guitarist Manuel Reyes - 56 - Band Manager Kevin Whitton - 43 - Road Manager

OTHER AVAILABLE MUSES: Pogue Parry (from The Covenant 2006 film) Tyler Simms (from The Covenant 2006 film) Aidan Keller - Cassia's Father Grace Eaton - Cassia's Mother Joseph Eaton - Cassia's Stepfather (I would also be willing to write Caleb Danvers and/or Reid Garwin from the Covenant, as well, but I have no real experience writing them, so...)

**The PSD I use for replies is by underesources and can be found here! Other Blogs! Rogue Multimuse (main) Multimuse (secondary)

For the mun... Do you only ship with one person?

// No not at all. I'm very much multi-ship, it's just that dontcxckitup is the only person who ships with me at the moment so they get all my shippy attention the poor thing (I'm so sorry haha!). They are amazing though and we have so many ideas <3

I do/did have other ships but the blogs have all dropped off, or mostly have.

I think people find it hard too because I will absolutely stick to how Maria feels and her taste. She's 40-50 in general verses, she likes men of the same age but has a preference for the older man. There absolutely has to be the right chemistry or idea. (A lot of FC's, now, especially, are quite young and if someone is using a much younger FC but saying the character is older - aside from supernatural stuff - I have trouble believing it/parceling it out in my head. Probably because mun is old haha!)

@rangersinclair said: Unanswered questions 1-5!

[ x ]

1 - Are there any characters in your fandom or faceclaims you refuse to RP with? Who and why?

There are characters a few I likely wont RP with mainly because while I am fine with making “villains” or “bad guys” a bit sympathetic I don’t like erasing aspects of the character that is clearly written. In this fandom people in the GA tags tend to erase the racism that some characters exhibit. I will let you fill in the blanks on why I likely wont RP with these characters cause I don’t want to condone racism. In terms of faceclaims, there are not fandom specific faceclaims I wont RP, I do have faceclaims I wont RP with because either I know the actor personally, or a few other reasons.

2 - Are there any plot tropes you are sick of/refuse to RP? If so, what are they and why?

Fluff that has no end point. I am not opposed to fluff, but if it is just fluff for the sake of fluff meandering through then I can’t do it. And honestly the same for angst. I love angst ask anyone, but I need an end point. I always try my hardest in angst threads to have some type of building moment for my characters so that it isn’t just replies upon replies that are circular in their writing trying to find new ways to describe a character’s inner turmoil.

3 - As a mun, what are three of your biggest flaws when it comes to being someone’s RP partner?

First, I am so bad at responding to messages, and talking to people ooc and reaching out. Part of it is because I am on a sideblog here, but the other part is I am just so scared of annoying people with my mere presence. Then there is the I am shit at small talk. My longest friends from RPC know to check on me every once in a while but if it is simple small talk they can safely take that to someone else and I wont be annoyed. Like vent to me about your work day, but like go straight into the “oh my god my coworker is being a bitch because” no need for the preamble with me. Second, I am so bad at sending memes because I am a sideblog but because I am nervous I am annoying people and in this fandom I can never tell if people have a preferred Will half the time and don’t want anything to do with me. So I am just like sitting twiddling my thumbs praying for interaction which isn’t how this works. Third, I tend to go quiet or not check up on my friends because I get busy or just forget until I see a post on the dash from them. But I always worry about people, I am just shit at keeping contact until I run into you like four years later in another fandom. I feel awful about it, but like it stems from me not wanting to bug people.

4 - Have you ever dropped a thread because someone refused to ship their character with yours? If no, have you ever dropped a thread for another “unpopular” reason and if so, what was your reasoning?

No. I tend to not have shipping as my main focus in writing partially because I am asexual, secondly because half the time I am too scared to assume someone wants to ship. Will is the first that has more or less at least an unrequited love on my end that is canon that I don’t have to worry if I am pushing it on someone because it is seen as unrequited right now. I have dropped threads because smut was happening and I didn’t want to write it (not on Will cause i don’t write that here but on other muses that are of age etc.), and most commonly I will drop threads if after a few replies I am the only one actively trying to move the plot forward, and if I stop that the other person still doesn’t try to move the plot forward. Basically for this last one, if I am doing all the plot work in the thread and when I stop no plot work is being done then I will drop the thread.

5 - Have you ever RP’d with someone simply because of their character’s faceclaim, even if you did not like their character’s personality?

Nope. Faceclaim choice does not drive me to RP or not RP with a person. With alt FCs of characters, or OCs I tend to trust the judgement of the mun that they feel that that FC works for their interpretation of the canon, and for OCs, the mun knows their OC more than I do obviously. With the exception from above of my reasons to not RP with a certain FC usually my personally knowing the FC.

RULES & GUIDELINES >>

Welcome to my single muse blog for fandomless original character LANDON B. WYNTER: a photojournalist ( or filmmaker depending on verse choice) featuring various aus. This blog is written by a 25+ mun, known as ash, she/her @ est timezone. Ya gurl is a bi disaster boo here to write & create with other people. Been writing for ages and used to do forum groups. Tumblr is a 5+ year writing experience now. My blog is rated 25+ so any future followers/writing partners must be at least this for me to follow and interact. This space is highly selective & private. Please do not follow if you never plan to reach out or interact. I’m mutuals only so if you unfollow me, I will unfollow you so PLS softblock so we are no longer mutuals if you wish to break. I will hardblock those who do not follow this or anyone I do not want to see in my sphere. It’s nothing personal. I PREFER NOVELLA. I write detailed, continuous stories. Short threads and short back & forth don't do it for me. I lose interest fast.

If you have my fc banned I block for both our comfort & if you interacted at one point & ban my fc that’s a perma blacklist for my comfort. Zero interaction equals me breaking mutuals by softblocking as I’m upfront about being an equal energy roleplayer. I don’t drop threads often but I will if I feel you are no longer interested. I thrive on ooc communication & interactions on my posts. I gladly return the energy. Mains are prioritized with affiliates always being a focal point. Transparency in how I run my blog is important so I stop replying as frequently if: I feel you lost interest, never communicate, ghost in messages & stopped communicating as often, or I just do not get anything back frequently. It’s pretty telling. I will also reply to what I have muse for from now on & most often it’s those who show me equal interaction, replies and ooc. Equal energy means putting forth effort so actions speak louder than words in this rpc.

Read my exclusives linked on my opens first before responding. If you use someone already on there I will ignore the response. For posts: I use small text, a few bolded words in red here and there. I WILL interact with mobile users as I always cut posts anyway. Use gifs, gif icons, static icons it’s cool with me! I can go gifless as well. You don’t need fancy aesthetics I personally just like making them. Format + use whatever you’re comfortable with.

There will be serious topics & darker themes that Landon may cover, investigate & explore as a journalist. He may create & produce darker horror oriented fare in his filmmaker universe. THIS BLOG IS PARTLY A HORROR BLOG. Horror themes will be present so be cautious of this while following. There are a few things I will not write: s.exual a.ssault, r.ape. No cheating / love triangle plots due to Lan’s past toxic relationship. These are triggers for the character and it will honestly not give much in terms to work with. Cross shipping is a big no and if happens I will end the interaction. No interest in heavy kink stuff or abo. Smut will appear only with established ships. I won’t do it for first interactions & we can fade to black, imply, write it out or whatever you prefer. I’m honestly selective in following smut only blogs so if it’s smut only all the time I won’t be following.

I practice reblog & meme karma. If you send me things I will send things. So pls REBLOG FROM THE SOURCE. Keep in mind my inbox is the slowest part of my blog. I much prefer threads / plotting over memes. They tend to sit a while. If you send me a meme for a first interaction & haven’t actually talked to me with ideas it’ll take much longer for me to respond.

Following me over and over will get you a hardblock. I won’t follow back those who write child muses, if all your muses are under 21 (Landon is a grown man so if it’s not one of his ship universe kids no thanks); I will not follow blogs that post a lot of irl politics. I run an rp blog and it’s my hobby escape. Call outs and vaguing will make me unfollow. Keep ooc drama out of my realm please. Due to experiences from now on I will not follow blogs first.

Dms are open to mutuals only. Yes I have discord, no I will not give it out randomly. We have to talk a lot ooc and if we gel + you have genuine interest in writing together then I’ll feel comfortable to. I DO NOT WRITE ON DISCORD so please stop asking.

Straight up I am someone who practices exclusivity with others. It’s a huge preference. I have had to unfollow people for face chasing/collecting or making me feel uncomfortable seeking my muse’s face AFTER we have plotted and/or interacted. So consider this me saying I do not rp with others using my muse’s face. He is part of a bigger universe I have created connected with my side multi @wyntertales reserved for mutuals from this blog only. If you already write with my fc and follow, I probably will not follow you back. It’s nothing personal but I’m good with my current space of writing partners.

Lan will have romantic relationships with female presenting/f/nb muses. Preferably won’t ship under 24 & never below 21. Gifs are dropped on smut threads. Smut is tagged: usfw, usfw tw, suggestive tw, as i whisper in your ear i wanna tear you apart. smut.

Banned thangs. This list is short & I truly ain’t vibin or wanna follow:

Amber Heard Ariana Grande Ezra Miller Gugu Mbatha Raw Ed Westwick Madelyn Cline

others using Penn Badgley (for obvious reasons)

blogs writing celebs as themselves

child muses

personal blogs

rp groups (some have followed before and I don’t know why lol)

about : this is an oc college rp on discord following the lives of the students at northview academy after the disappearance of caroline diaz , a junior at the university . the university is a prestigious institution mostly known for their ameircan football team , the eagles , and their engineering majors , located in the countryside of massachusetts , about an hour from boston . following the disappearance of the young student , the university administration is now strict on students , who will communicate on campus only through the northview academy app . all muses should be connected to caroline in one way or another and plotting is encouraged . the plot will move along as more information about the investigation comes up through plot drops , events and tasks . this group is inspired by shows such as elite & gossip girl .

please read the rules and instructions below thoroughly before applying . questions can be redirected to my inbox . template credits to hosiieok on deviantart .

* : 𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐈𝐓 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐊𝐒 .

what is the northview academy app ?

the northview academy app , also known as just ‘ the app ’ , is an app that the administration of northview academy developed to enforce stricter on-campus rules to its students and professors . all virtual interactions on campus should be made through the app , which also contains feed and photos features ( think of it like twitter and instagram within the app ) . there will be public chats / groupchats or the option to make private ones ( as explained below ) . keep in mind that text threads and social media posts and interactions will all happen in the app and not through other apps .

private text threads .

this group will be slightly different than your usual college rp as i intend to give you the option to make text threads private , meaning only me ( as the admin ) , you and your rp partner will be able to see the chat , if you want to . i believe this will add an interesting mystery element to the group , as all virtual interactions will take place in the northview app . everyone will have a private ooc channel where you can @ the admin and request to open a private chat . para threads will be public .

social media .

there will be a feed channel where muses may post whatever they want , anonymously or not . it will work in a similar way to twitter or facebook , and people can comment on feed posts . additionally , there will be a photo feed channel that is similar to instagram , where people can post photos or videos , and people can comment as well . finally , there will be a profiles channel where the basic info of all muses will be made available .

* : 𝐑𝐔𝐋𝐄𝐒 .

disclaimer : this is an experimental kind of roleplay for now - the way it works is subject to changes as i’m still trying to see if it works .

one . basic roleplay etiquette . any form of disrespect , ooc drama , racism , homophobia , xenophobia , godmodding , racebending , etc. will not be tolerated .

two . you may agebend your muse up or down three years and may apply with one muse for now . muns and muses should be over the age of eighteen . muse age range goes to eighteen to twenty-eight ( freshmen to postgrads ) . there will be no banned fcs for now - if you’re not sure about a certain fc , you can ask me or quickly search up any possible controversies involving the celebrity in question .

three . this is not a first come first serve group and i will go through all apps before acceptance . diversity and muse’s backstory will be taken into consideration when accepting . there will be twelve mun spots ( + me ) .

four . interest checks will be held every four days to ensure everyone is still interested and we can move along the plot . you will have twenty-four hours to react before being removed . please apply only if you have time and genuine interest in joining !

* : 𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐋𝐘 .

( faceclaim , fc age , pronouns ) do you think FULL NAME has anything to do with caroline’s disappearance ? i heard that the AGE IN LETTERS year old MAJOR student is a COLLEGE YEAR ( junior , sophomore , etc. ) and their relationship with caroline was CONNECTION WITH CAROLINE . it’s just a rumor , but i heard that SECRET OR RUMOR . juicy , right ? let’s see if the investigators will think they’re a suspect .

alright, i’ve tried to keep quiet because i truly believe in karma and wanted this rp to close through the admin’s own actions and not give them any opportunities to blame it on me instead. it also felt like beating a dead horse, because i was sure they’d close the rp after losing a huge proportion of their active members and the majority of their diversity. however, after seeing multiple people sharing their experiences today, they are still posting promo posts and starting their event. so yeah, here’s my experience with @thevillagerp

NOTE: i no longer have screenshots from my conversations with the admins, as i blocked them when i left the rp for the sake of my own mental health, but i did save the text in my drafts, so the messages below are copy pasted. i have not edited them in any way. They also deleted my original anonymous messages off of their blog.

TRIGGER WARNINGS: racism, very vague allusions to homophobia and transphobia

so i was a member of this roleplay for around two months. during my time there, it was startlingly obvious that white fcs were preferred and prioritised, both from the fact that they got more plots and interactions in general and from the fact that admins never promoted diversity on the main. even now, they repeatedly say they “would still love to receive some more male and non-binary apps” while ignoring that they currently have a ratio of 8 fcs of colour to 24 white fcs. their diversity rules at the time were that 1/3 of a mun’s characters had to be played by an fcoc. so people could easily just play one or two white characters.

a while ago, i sent an anonymous message to the main asking if they had considered perhaps changing this rule to be 2/3 characters instead of 1/3, since there were so few muses of colour in the roleplay (as i said before, they’ve since deleted this from their blog so i cannot provide a screenshot). they responded that they had been thinking of upping the character limit to four instead of three, with a rule that 2/4 must be played by an fcoc. i gave them the benefit of the doubt and the time to enact this change, but nothing happened.

so a few weeks later, i sent them this message on anonymous:

I was wondering if you had thought any more about the diversity rules here? I know you said before that you were considering increasing the character limit, but I noticed that hasn’t happened and I wanted to know if that was a change we’re going to see or if you would consider changing the rules in another way? I’m really disheartened by the lack of diversity in the roleplay

at the time there were 18 characters of colour out of a total of over 60. they responded (again, i’m sorry i don’t have the actual wording since they’ve deleted the messages) that they had thought about it and decided against upping the character limit, but instead would be having a weekly “poc acceptance day,” where they would only be accepting apps with fcs of colour. they also said they were doing this “now that the waitlist was mostly cleared,” which meant that the rp was mostly at capacity anyway, so they needed to look more at how to encourage their existing members to promote diversity, since there weren’t spaces open for new people to bring them in.

i responded with another anon expressing my disappointment and pointing out that they had done more to prevent having too many celebrity characters than too few muses of colour, as at the time they had a ban on celebrity muses. i wouldn’t usually suggest a ban on certain fcs, but as it was something they had done for celebrity characters, then i supposed it was a reasonable option.

they didn’t even respond to this message and instead posted on the main asking me to come off anon to discuss it. so i did, and i sent them the following dm:

i didn’t want to come off anon because i honestly feel really ostracised in this group and didn’t want to make it worse, but i don’t want to drop this issue and you aren’t comfortable addressing it publicly so here we are i guess. like i said in my previous message, i really don’t see how a “poc acceptance day” is going to make anywhere near enough of a difference. people will just wait for the opportunity to play their white characters. there are only 18 characters of colour in a roleplay with over 60 characters. that’s less than a third, which is obviously concerning. what’s even more concerning for me is that these characters are more often than not overlooked. i am often ghosted when plotting, or people don’t even reach out at all when i like plotting calls or intro posts. and then i have to watch characters like leo almost exclusively interact with white women (i’m sure that’s not the only example, but it is the first that comes to mind as he is one of the more active characters).

so this issue goes so much deeper than there just not being adequate representation in the rp. i really tried to help, i suggested making it a rule that 2/3 characters need to be poc in my original ask and you mentioned upping the character limit in response. i was worried that my concerns were being brushed aside, but i waited a while to give you the benefit of the doubt and the space to discuss the issue. so you can understand why it was really upsetting today to learn that the one thing you suggested was dropped and instead replaced with something that is barely scratching the surface of the problem. and i don’t know if it was your intention, but by saying that you were waiting for the waitlist to clear, it comes across as not wanting to receive any backlash from people who would want to join with only white characters. and even if people did want to join with faceclaims of colour, they can’t because the waitlist is cleared. like i suggested, you could change the rules so that 2 out of 3 characters must be people of colour. or, as was your proposed idea, up the character limit to four. you could also put a temporary ban on white faceclaims until the ratio evens out. as i mentioned, it’s really distressing that this was something you were willing to do for celebrity characters, but not to aid diversity.

i also just want to make it clear that these have been the only anons i’ve sent, i know you’ve been getting other ones, but those weren’t from me!!

( for context, they were receiving anons from someone else claiming that they felt left out in the rp ).

i had hoped that coming off anon would show them that this was a very real issue which was affecting their members, as well as giving them a space to discuss it privately instead of on the main. they responded with:

Hi Em, thank you for coming forward. We really, really appreciate it and we understand it’s not an easy thing to do. We also appreciate you flying the flag for diversity so strongly. We can always strive to be better, we are on the same page with you here.

Let us just explain our decision making. Firstly, just to address the waitlist, that was certainly not at all our intention when we brought it up. It was a logistical decision with 5+ applicants having already waited a week for acceptance and aware of their position on a waitlist.

When we decided against upping the character limit (and therefore the 2/4 POC character rule), we thought a POC acceptance day could be a good alternative course of action. In our eyes, this was something that would probably bring more POC characters to the group than the 2/4 rule because we knew there weren’t going to be many muns taking up an additional fourth character. This was a rule we’ve seen other groups enjoy success from so we wanted to try it out here. Plus, we think a day that explicitly highlights diversity every week would bring the message to the forefront of everyone’s minds. As we said, we’re going to monitor this over the next couple of weeks to see if it brings any improvement because we’d really like to have it as an ongoing rule.

The non-POC ban is actually a measure we’ve spoken about too and we are considering putting one in place should this fail. Thank you for raising your concerns, know that we’ve taken them very seriously and we hope that you’ll trust our judgement in trying this rule out first to see where it leads.

first of all, i don’t think i even have to mention the wording of “flying the flag for diversity.” but the real crux of the issue here is that they supposedly wanted me to come off anon to discuss the issue, but instead just explained their idea further and didn’t take anything i said on board. they didn’t even say a single word about how i told them i felt ostracised and regularly got ignored. i knew from speaking to other muns in the rp who played muses of colour (and just from looking at the dash) that they felt the same way too, but of course was only speaking from my own experience.

i thought long and hard about how to respond to this, as i was so disheartened by their unwillingness to listen to their members and the fact that they didn’t care that i felt left out. it felt like they had asked me to come off anon just so they knew who was messaging them and therefore put a target on my back, so honestly the thought of being on the dash or talking to the admins made me incredibly anxious. before i had a chance, however, they responded again with:

Hi hun, we’ve continued discussing this issue over the last couple of days and we wanted to let you know that we’ve decided to put in place a non-POC ban instead. Thank you again for holding a mirror up to the group. We do hope that this will recorrect the balance.

so i waited to see how things would play out. they posted about this new ban here and pinned the post to the top of the main:

[ IMAGE ID: a screenshot from thevillagehq of an admin update, which reads: in the interest of keeping the village a diverse space, we are currently only accepting applications for POCs. please note that any apps or reserves submitted to us for faceclaims that are not POCs will be deleted. we will lift this rule once we see fit.

thank you for your understanding and your efforts in making this group a brighter, more inclusive and diverse place for all. /END ID ]

this rule remained in place for around two weeks, during which time they made almost no effort to promote it. the above post was pinned to the main page, but that was the only mention of the ban anywhere on their page, they didn’t update the rules page or even put a note on the application page about it. during this two week period, the admins posted 10 promo posts, none of which suggested fcs or even mentioned the ban or diversity at all. the ban was then lifted suddenly when the pinned post was removed and the admins just went back to accepting apps with white fcs. the ratio had only evened out in those two weeks (from 18 out of 65 to 24/50) because of people going inactive or leaving, and there was nothing put into place to continue to promote diversity after the lift of the ban. in the three days after the ban was lifted, the admins posted over 10 promo posts, the same amount they had posted during the entirety of the ban. it was clear that they had no intention of actually making changes in their rp and had only done so because i refused to drop the issue.

again, i thought a lot about what i wanted to message them. i knew at this point that they didn’t want to make any real changes, but i still felt like i had to make it clear to them how disappointing their actions were. once again, i was messaged before i even had a chance, this time for bubbling.

as you can see in the above correspondence, i had told the admins point blank that i felt left out and ignored in the rp because of the characters i played (aubrey plaza, mj rodriguez and keiynan lonsdale fcs. all of my characters were queer and used either she/they or they/them pronouns). as a general rule, the only people who wanted to write with me and have interesting plots with me were people who played other muses of colour. the rp had a rule that you must reply to 3+ muns on every character, which i had been doing. i had only been back from my hiatus for a few days at this point and had responded to 6 different open starters the day prior. their message to me read:

Hi hun. There’s something we wanted to address to you directly. It’s been expressed to us by multiple members during these last few weeks that they have felt excluded by your character within the group, especially when it comes to the friend bubble that has formed between Mars, Bowie, Luvena, Asher and others.

While we encourage the development of friendships and trust that this isn’t intentional, we have a zero tolerance for bubble roleplaying at The Village. We are aware that our three mun activity rules have been met by all parties involved, however, bubbling is usually a little more nuanced than that and it seems it has unfortunately begun to create a bit of a divide within the group.

We have already issued individual warnings to a few people within the bubble, however with multiple members still expressing their concerns to us, we decided it would be better to address the group as a whole. We hope that by pointing this out to you, you will try and branch out to your fellow members a little more from now on - and try and be a little more inclusive when it comes to everyone else in the group.

We take such matters very seriously as admins, and while we hope it won’t have to come to this, there will be consequential steps taken should we not see any changes in your interactions in the weeks to come.

as you can imagine, i was incredibly upset to receive this message after already telling them i didn’t get plots from many of their members and they had done nothing. even people who i had previously messaged continued to only write with the same few white characters. i don’t deny that we definitely had a friendship group between our characters, but there were multiple people in that roleplay, including the admins, who only cared about ship plots or plots with the same few muns. me and other people who received the same message had all previously told the admins that people aren’t plotting with us and gotten ignored, so receiving this message made it clear that they neither cared about us nor wanted us in their rp. and so i responded as below:

yeah i literally told you i felt left out because there are multiple people only writing with white characters and you never addressed it, so this message is honestly insulting. i have reached out to almost every new member, responded to multiple open starters and have tried to plot with as many people as possible. like i told you, i am often left on read or people don’t even message me at all. if people do message me, i am usually expected to put in all of the effort and if people aren’t interested in actually developing plots with me then i am obviously not going to force my characters on them. all of my characters are queer, non binary people of colour and the harsh truth of this roleplay is that people don’t care about them. i even wrote out a whole list of 20 detailed suggested connections in an attempt to get more plots and nothing came from that either. i’ve even gotten anonymous hate saying that offering to explain my characters’ pronouns was “patronising,” which i didn’t feel like i could approach you about because, when i told you about how i’m feeling excluded, you didn’t care.

so if i only have actual plots with the people who actually care about my characters, i make no apologies. i also don’t even have threads with half of the characters you named, asher being the only one, and have literally only just come off hiatus. so please explain how i am bubbling, because this really just feels targeted at this point.

you’ve made it endlessly clear that this rp isn’t a safe space for people who want to play diverse characters. the main was practically silent while you had a ban on white faceclaims, which you never actively promoted, and then you dropped that suddenly without putting anything else in place. you also deleted my initial anonymous messages asking about diversity as if you were trying to hide that there was ever an issue. you turned anonymous messages off, so that no one can safely criticise you. because i did that off anon and ever since it has felt like there is a massive target on my back. my characters have been “accidentally” on the activity checks multiple times despite me being on hiatus (people get a notification that they were tagged even if you remove their name from the list btw). plus when i asked for an extension on my hiatus, you said that you would allow it “just this once” which now makes me feel like i can’t come to you if i’m busy. right now, for example, i am in the middle of moving house, but i’m also stressed about trying to stay active because you have made yourselves completely unapproachable.

the ratio only evened out slightly because members left. then suddenly after the ban you’re posting multiple promo posts a day??? you couldn’t get more obvious. i came to you about diversity in good faith, hoping that it was something you were unaware of, but you have made it abundantly clear that you actively do not want to promote diversity in your roleplay, we are just here to be witnesses to your ship. there are multiple members who are actually bubbling who have been brought to your attention, but nothing has been done. leo continues to only write with the same three white and white passing characters. charlotte pretty much only appears to write with leo and post a vague “message me for plots” post that wasn’t even tagged. both of you only put effort into your ship threads with each other and the occasional text threads. even with something like group events: while i’ve been here, there’s been a pride event that neither of your characters were even in new york for (an event where i was the only one reaching out and posting multiple starters, by the way); there was no event last month, and this month all you’re talking about is this housewarming party.

i’m really disheartened that it’s come to this, but i can’t be here anymore. please post unfollows for all my characters. you’ve said multiple times that we should trust you as admins, but this message shows again that i simply can’t do that. from the disregard of trigger warnings, to the way you treated being held accountable for the lack of diversity, to how you respond to people asking for hiatuses, this isn’t a safe space. even if i stayed, the target you have placed on me is making it insufferable to just write my characters in peace.

the other muns who received the same bubbling message (copy pasted btw, we all got the same one word for word) all responded with their own concerns and criticisms in responses of a similar length to mine. none of us received a reply, our unfollows were just posted the next day without any further responses from the admins. a few of the other members who had written and plotted with us chose to leave as well, which the admins wrote off as us just dragging them with us as opposed to them being able to make their own decisions and being aware of the situation (which was incredibly obvious. no promotion of a white fc ban, suddenly being active on the main once they try to stealthily drop the ban, then the majority of their muses of colour leaving???)

i haven’t paid the rp much attention since i left, as i mentioned above i blocked the main and the majority of the members just for my own mental health. but from a quick scroll through today i can see that the only change in diversity rules is that now instead of your third character having to be a poc, it is now your second. however, you still only have to have 1 character out of 3 have a fc of colour. so very little has been done, but of course i’m not surprised in the slightist.

these admins don’t want diversity in their roleplay. if you play any character who isn’t a rich, white, cishet neurotypical, please avoid it at all costs. it’s not in any way a safe environment.
