#I have not done RP in soooo many years so I'm sorry I'm so behind on what is typical these days!

Winifred 101; 

Full Name: Winifred “Freddie (Winnie if ya nasty)” Abbot

Pronouns: she/her/hers

Age: 25

Hometown: London, England

In so many words:

She’s a rich kid who got too big for her britches and was sent to the Cove by her parents in order to “get her life together”

She’s only been here for 3 months 

She’s the youngest of 3 and that’s very apparent in everything about her

She’s at a big turning point in her life where she doesn’t really know who she is and I’m really hoping to have her grow up through the help of the people she meets here

She can be annoying for many reasons, mostly since she is a snob and thought up until this point anyone that lived in a small town was probably a farmer

At her core she’s a true people pleaser and wants to be liked, but she’s so used to trying to impress other rich kids that she’s rusty on the charm and it can come off differently than she intended

She loves art, specifically theatre and visual art, since her dad was a West End producer and her mom an art collector

She even went to college for Art History and works as an intern at the art museum in town, but her knowledge of art is still very rich and western, so she has a lot of room to expand her horizons

She dabbles in art a bit herself, oil painting being her favorite, but doesn’t consider herself to be very good

I was inspired a lot off of Jane Austen’s Emma and also Cher from Clueless when I started writing her

So obviously she LOVES sticking her nose in other people’s business, especially playing cupid

In the end, she’s young, lost in life, a little annoying, and is still waiting a bit for her parents to come in an save her, but she has so much room to grow as a person!

Potential plots/connections/relationships:

Anyone involved in the art world who might encounter her at the museum for literally any reason, be it they’re an artist themselves or just a frequent visitor

I can see her having a roommate in Fisherman’s Warf since she doesn’t have much money anymore. They would most likely butt heads a bit before maybe then forming a friendship? Depends on who, I suppose! But I think it would be a really interesting dynamic she would have with whoever she lived with

Some locals who can tell from a mile away she’s a fish out of water here and whether they would want to help her or would like to her move away as fast as possible lol 

She doesn’t quite know how to make friends here, but is still an extrovert so she’d probably frequent poke her nose into a lot of the local businesses to try and make up for that, so any business owners or employees I think she could have an interesting relationship with

Any two people that she thinks should date, lol, like I said she loves to play cupid and try and push two people together and that can help, but sometimes it can’t

Freddie was a party girl back in her hay day in university so anyone who she can let lose with from time to time she would try and make a fast friend

Any of the rich Avalon Circle type people she could have a bit of a love/hate relationship with because they remind her of her old life which is nice but also ouch

Just anyone who is the polar opposite from her I think would be a hilarious dynamic I’d love to have whether it’s enemies to friends or enemies to still enemies but we have a deeper understanding of each other

Or any ideas you might have! I honestly think there’s so much potential with all the awesome characters you guys have here there are endless ideas

If you like this, I will message you, or you can hit me up if you already have an idea!

hey,

i'm glad you're having this discussion! i wanted to put my experience in if that's okay? i wanted to try the rp cus i saw people doing it and everyone seemed so enthusiastic and i was having trouble making friends (also didn't think too much about it because i wasn't able to tell the difference between smut and that), so i gave it a try and i immediately felt so uncomfortable. it felt so wrong to be acting as if i was someone else, even if i was just pretending. i'll be honest and say i don't know if the difference between smut and that is as stark to some people, as there are definitely people who write and engage in smut in a similar manner.

but it almost made me feel uncomfortable engaging in the content of the group because i felt so unworthy and gross. i felt like i had to act that way to talk with the people on the blog, too and there's such a odd pressure to perform how people want, you sort of get egged on. i felt very dehumanised and realised that it was exactly what i was doing to the idol by proxy.

this isn't to say that my actions weren't my own, i made that choice and i regret it. i stopped very promptly because i prioritise the group more than anything. i completely respect if you think bad of me, i'm ashamed i did that. but i wanted to put forward the way the anons might be feeling. sorry if you're not interested in hearing that, but i thought it just might be useful to get the other pov of it too.

oh! wanted to say, if me having done that in the past makes you feel uncomfortable with me following you, i will absolutely unfollow you, no hard feelings. this is your space and i don't want to intrude in anyway.

i hope you took time to feel better about yourself post experience because you, as an individual, matter the most. and you're right about how one views smut, because 18 year old me thought that smut was necessary to be lewd, graphic for it to be considered but 20 year old me learnt that beautiful, poetic smut is my favorite. and maybe all of these people are still getting to know what is what. but that being said, my whole issue with this role play thing is the anonymity behind it. you are not aware of whom you are sending these messages to, and if you did know, why are you doing it on the feed? can't you just take it to the dms?

firstly, thank you so much for sharing your experience. it's always eye opening to hear it from another pov and for this, i am so so grateful. i understand the stuff we all do under pressure to fit in. we all learn from experiences after all, you and i. i do want some of these anons to know that there are soooo many people on nsfw stayblr that are willing to have normal conversation to be friends with you; to be ready to engage in normal conversations with you.

not every choice we make is right and that's alright, as long as we learn. i just really hope you are doing better. the pressure you talk about exists and i know. it took me a long time to come to terms to put out what i want to put out on my blog instead of what the reader wants. (i did in the beginning and that led me to make horrible choices and made me feel like a horrible human. but i've learnt from those mistakes.) i know how a smut work will always do 10x better than a 20k worded fic without smut. and it's the same pressure that prompts me to put out even the smallest smut in those fics just so that i can get people to read the plot. is that smut-baiting? i guess? /laughs/

in the end, i do hope you remember what i said earlier. there are people here to talk to about how you feel, about how good/bad your day went, and about how much you know you want to be in an e2l!au with lee minho !! /laughs/ i respect you so much for telling me this and like am so glad i get to hear a different side of the same story! you don't make me comfortable! 💗

here's to happier existence in tumblr, nonnie. 💕
