#(But like I said: it's more likely I'll add verses for Sonia if I get interested blogs wanting those verses)

[more-than-a-princess]

@tricksheart asked: Have you made any new blogs or added any new muses this year? How have they been going?

End of the Year Asks - Accepting!

Oh my goodness, no. This blog keeps me plenty busy! And I'm reluctant to make a multimuse RP blog because, generally, my focus tends to be on very few muses at a time (by at a time, I mean years), and I wouldn't want to get someone's hopes up when they ask for a muse I'm not feeling up to writing.

A lot of 2022 was making sure I don't take on more interactions than I can handle, so I focused mostly on my reboot of this blog. So no more than one blog, no multis, and reply to threads in a timely manner unless they're dropped or finished!

That said, if I were to take on new muses? These would be the contenders:

Anime/Manga:

Fujiko Mine (Lupin III) - Probably my highest contender. I wrote for her a little on her own blog, but it was too hard to maintain this blog and Fujiko's. I also have the most flexibility in terms of different verses to write in, which is, in my opinion, crucial in the indie RPC community to find writers. Your fandom likely won't be popular forever: being able to write in different verses and AUs is important.

Misato Katsuragi (Evangelion) - Not as interested in writing her outside of the Evangelion universe, so I haven't pursued writing her again.

Julia (Cowboy Bebop) - Ditto, but I prefer to only write her in the Cowboy Bebop anime verse.

Books/Movies/TV:

Bridgerton:

Francesca Bridgerton

Penelope Featherington

I could pretty much write the Bridgerton muses I like in both their Regency verse and in a modern AU, if needed.

A Court of Thorns and Roses / ACOTAR (ahahaha here we go...my new fandoms):

Nesta Archeron (probably the highest priority out of all my favorite SJM potential muses!)

Morrigan

Gwyneth Berdara

Emerie (hi yes I really like the Valkryies how can you tell)

Elain Archeron (mostly I'd want to choose between writing Gwyn or Elain. I wouldn't write both, and Elain already gives me some Sonia vibes, though she's way better at household tasks!)

Throne of Glass / ToG (Full disclosure: I'm a little more than halfway through my first read of Kingdom of Ash, and once I'm done I'll have finished the series):

Lysandra (my ToG fave! A little easier to put into generic fantasy than the ACOTAR ladies, imo, but she'd have to retain her abilities)

Yrene Towers

Generally, my interest leans more towards book (and TV I guess) muses than anything else these days, but there aren't a lot of crossovers in the anime RPC and the book/TV RPC, or at least the communities I'm interested in.

What's more likely? Adding an ACOTAR/ToG/SJM verse for Sonia eventually (yes, this means giving Sonia a fantasy verse. Finally. RIP/someone help me). I have a basic/underdeveloped Bridgerton verse for her already. The thing is, I've already got quite a few verses that aren't being used, so I'm reluctant to add more (and spend the time developing them more) if no one wants to interact with them.

That said, if I have mutuals who write Bridgerton RP, ACOTAR RP, or ToG RP and want to plot? Please let me know!

🛒 What's on the list? Any plots or ideas? Something you wanna write?

RP preferences meme - Accepting!

Things generally come to me when I get engrossed in some new piece of media and then it becomes "Oh, that could be a cool plot idea or a new chapter in a longer storyline!"

I can say these days it's harder to be inspired by memes, especially quote memes where it wouldn't make sense for most muses to say a quote line by line, doubly so with lyrics quotes. And situations can be iffy: I like slightly longer prompts with more of a scene set up in it versus a simple gesture prompt most of the time.

That said, I'm really hoping with the popularity of shows like Bridgerton and next year's release of the new Rose of Versailles movie that there will be an even larger interest in historical fiction, alternate history, and historical romance! I've written once with a Lady Oscar and once with a Charles-Henri Sanson from Innocent and, while done in contemporary settings, they were a lot of fun to indulge in. And I've done a few alternate history threads with Code: Realize crossovers, and even tried one with a Hakuoki muse, putting Sonia in that mid-19th Century Japanese storyline the otome game covers while trying to add real life historical elements as to why a European would be present. I love being able to use historical details and inspiration from both real life and historical fiction in RP, but it's not too popular in the Danganronpa fandom or other fandoms that tend to visit my blog.

tl;dr: Give me your historical muses from around 1750 to 1940s.

And while I've tiptoed around this sort of thread, I've never really gotten to do a long-term storyline in a non-despair verse of Danganronpa muses attending a school reunion, seeing what their lives have turned into after high school. Usually when muns have DR muses, I find they tend to want a high school storyline in non-despair or a post-SDR2 storyline. It's actually one of the reasons I love writing with OCs, particularly those not affiliated with Danganronpa: it gives me a chance to explore Sonia's life outside of the school, the killing games, and the canon in general. I enjoy writing how her experiences as a student shaped her as an adult (and not always with the crippling angst the canon provides).

Finally, I'd love to write with Danganronpa muses I don't usually see on tumblr! There's a handful that I tend to see often, on single or multimuse blogs, and while I don't mind writing with them I'd love a bit more variety: DR has such a large cast and so many muses go unrepresented (but this is 2024 and a lot of DR writers have moved on).

Specifically, I'd be thrilled if a mun is a multi-para writer, interested in building a long-term storyline, and writes somewhat consistently for:

Akane Owari*

Peko Pekoyama*

Celestia Ludenberg*

Kyoko Kirigiri*

Byakuya Togami*

Ibuki Mioda

Nekomaru Nidai

Sakura Ogami

Mondo Owada

Sayaka Maizono

Mukuro Ikusaba

Gonta Gokuhara

Kirumi Tojo

Ryoma Hoshi

Tsumugi Shirogane (purely to have cosplay-focused threads, because I'm biased)

The stars indicate my ship preferences because I'll be shameless like that

And while these characters are slightly more common, I've yet to have much experience writing with them:

Rantaro Amami

Kaede Akamatsu

I would add Maki Harukawa here but I have a feeling all I need to do is cut back on some threads and say the word and Bryn could be convinced to provide her girl.

In short, this fandom has such a broad cast of characters and yet hardly anyone writes for at least half of them. It's sad. :(

Anything else though, I generally just wait to be inspired by something or have a mun suggest "hey, what if our muses got into this?" That's how some of my favorite interactions have unfolded.
