21+. She/Her. Looking for some fandom roleplays.

Please be 21+!

I write on Discord (through DMs or servers) or through Tumblr messages. I write in third person, past tense and usually around 2-4 paragraphs. I can't reply every day. I try not to make anyone wait longer than 3-5 days for replies.

Canon x canon pairings (MxM, FxF, or MxF ; please be open to writing at least two of those ; I don't write with people who only do MxF) are my favorite. I'm okay with doing some canon x OC ones (MxM or FxF only). I like my threads to be set within the universe so no AUs that are way off the beaten path. I do prefer writing romantic ships with NSFW/smut involved but also with a very healthy dose of plot. If you'd rather keep things clean and/or do platonic ships, I'm willing to take that into consideration.

All characters will be 18+!

I'll be listing my main muses for each fandom. I have my favorite ships, but I'm willing to try just about any so we can discuss those together. Any character in bold, I'm especially interested in writing as right now.

21+. She/Her. Looking to get some threads going for my four-ish biggest fandoms right now. 👻

About Me: I like to plot on Tumblr and don't hand out my Discord until I know we'll be doing something together. I write in third person, past tense and usually ~2-4 paragraphs. I can't reply daily because of work and just a general busy RL. I try my hardest to get replies out within 2-3 days. I don't double and have no triggers but that doesn't mean I'm willing to do everything.

What I'm Looking For: Mostly romantic ships with a healthy dose of plot and some NSFW/smut. I'm willing to forgo both of those but I'm really interested in them. Canon x canon ships or canon x OC (although, I am a bit picky with OCs so don't be offended if I turn your OC down). MxM preference but can do MxF and FxF.

Please be 21+ to interact and communicative!!!

I'll just be listing my main muses for each fandom. I have plenty of favorite ships, but I'm willing to discuss doing just about anything.

Game of Thrones/House of the Dragon: Alliser Thorne, Beric Dondarrion, Daemon Targaryen, Daenerys Targaryen, Gerion Lannister, Jaime Lannister, Lyn Corbray, Margaery Tyrell, Otto Hightower, Petyr Baelish, Robb Stark, Roose Bolton, Stannis Baratheon, Thoros, Tywin

Marvel: Benjamin Poindexter, Billy Russo, Bruce Banner, Bucky Barnes, Carol Danvers, Eddie Brock, Frank Castle, James!Harry Osborne, Loki Laufeyson, Nathan Summers, Willem!Norman Osborn, Andrew!Peter Parker, Ray Nadeem, Tony Stark, Wade Wilson

Supernatural: Alastair, Arthur Ketch, Azazel, Balthazar, Benny Lafitte, Chuck Shurley, Crowley, Dean Winchester, Gadreel, Lucifer, Metatron, Mick Davies

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Charlie Hewitt Jr., Drayton Sawyer, Johnny Sawyer, Nubbins Sawyer

If you would like to work something out, I do highly prefer that you message me. My last account got shadowbanned (and never fixed by Tumblr) because of the whole messaging too many people first thing. If you really don't want to message me first, I'll reach out to you. It'll take a lot longer, though, because I won't be sending more than one or two first messages a day now.

"Wonder why I couldn't have been born an Asgardian," there was a bit of irritation in her voice. She certainly had the warrior spirit, unfortunately was just an earth born created mutant. "I hold three doctorates, Chemistry, Biology, and Genetics." And boy did she work her ass off for all three. "I say I have the intelligence thing down just fine." Lyn was growing considerably suspicious, why was he complimenting her this much, "perfectly glowy? A blue mutant who sticks out like a sore thumb compared to the others?" However, she was curious, did he know some of the other so-called death machines she knew? "So who else have you met under the criteria of 'death machine'?"

Hoo, boy. "Well, first and most obvious, the Manchester Gods, which were literal machines of death-by-industrialization fueled by the Red King, blah blah blah. Void, although I don't like to talk about that one, Norman Osborn when he was in one of his bad phases--my bad--Hela, obviously, myself, Doombots, if we're being literal again, your dear old daddy..." Loki was counting on his fingers. "Honestly, I don't have enough fingers or toes to count them all. Oh, the Angels of Heven, them too, some of the Fear Lords probably count...uh..."

“I know you’re new to the whole me thing, but there’s something incredibly attractive about a death machine in a cinematic package. Seriously, every B-grade action film of the early 2000s made use of that, but they usually lacked some believability in the musculature department.”

There was, of course, also the fact that the Loki Who Was had had some dealings with her father, and that rebellion was inherently flirty. Even if he was actually cool now.

[askaudax]

Hey! I'm Harry Osborne from earth 7777520, and the tech support for this earth's spider and my adoptive father, Sterling or the Fog-Weaver. He'd say hello himself, but my younger brother Bryce convinced him to help him with his rose bush or something. Feel to talk to him, he may come off harsh, but he's very nice. You can thank Mommy long legs for that being more prominent. We also have a cute dog, her name is Lyn!

Hello!! it's super nice to meet you! also please pet Lyn for me, she sounds like such a cutie

Their main genre of music is rock (both indie and heavy), but they have experimented with other known genres such as rap, hip-hop, and even funk. The Unit comprises of 9 members.

Ryuji Sakamoto’s Skull’s first debut in music was in a series of videos he and his friends with the help of ATLUS made known as Dancing in Starlight. ATLUS and a young girl in blue claimed that these videos were made as a tribute to Dancing All Night, a segment that was made by idol Rise Kujikawa and her friends for the Love Meets Bonds Festival. This lead to Ryuji’s Skull’s honorary idol debut during a New Year’s Even celebration in Shibuya by the idol group, Kanamin Kitchen. With the help of his friend, the newly appointed CEO of Oscorp Industries, Harry Osborn, he performed with the Idol Unit, KUROFUNE. Then, he made his official Idol debut with his first written song, Treasured Hearts. Then, he participated in his first Dream Festival where he came in 3rd Place and went from Rookie Idol to True Idol with his new song, KEEP RUNNIN’ DREAM. Then, in the Dream FES the next year, Ryuji Skull had formed his own Idol Unit, Skul5, and they came in 2nd Place with their song, Hurricane.

However, due to their idol training, they moved in with a family friend to be closer to D-Four Production. They both joined the Idol Unit, Margin Horizon. However, after their first Dream FES, both twins were dropped. However, Ryuji Skull saw potential and recruited them into his Unit. Both twins are fun loving and are skilled athletes.

Matsu Oka grew up living at a shrine owned by his grandfather with his parents, his older sister, and younger twin brothers. He, like the rest of his family, would be trained to become a priest at the shrine. However, his grandfather saw his path lead somewhere outside of the temple.

Favorite/Preferred Brand: Flow terrace

Bio

Azuki Arai does not speak mostly of himself outside of the time he was in middle school and high school. In middle school he was friends with Haruhi Fujioka, a young woman who would become the wife of Tamaki Suoh, the president of the Ouran Host Club and currently a highly successful businessman. During his summers off, he would work at his uncle’s produce store in Karuizawa. It was at Karuizawa that he was scouted and became an Idol, moving to Tokyo for training at D-Four Productions. So far, he only appeared on stage as a substitute for certain Idol until he was officially recruited into a Unit, Skul5, and made his official debut at his first Dream FES. Arai is also shown to be intelligent, industrious, thoughtful and tolerant.
