#but because this is s fantasy thing and regular people and elves and vampires and all live in it

[whiteredrose13]

"So,"Qamar began, throwing his legs over the arm of the chair and leaning languidly on the other. "How was your 'walk'?"

Vincenzo shrugged behind the bar. He uncorked the wine with ease, tipping it over three thin-stemmed glasses.

"They're all dead, if that's what you mean."

An affronted look leapt onto Qamar's fine dark features, offended by the very notion he might even imply Vincenzo had failed.

"Well, of course they are,"Qamar said, as if it were obvious, because it was. "We sent you. You've never disappointed us."

Vincenzo neglected to mention the several points of their past life where he had disappointed them. Instead, he preened under Qamar's gaze. With a smile most pleased, he made his way to the hearth, handing Qamar his glass. Faint red smudges stained the stem as he passed it over. Qamar grinned at him over the rim, all fang and golden eyes.

"Thank you, dearest. Now, tell me: Did they scream?"

-----

Oh my gods, y'all-- It's been so long since I've done a full piece. The background on this thing kicked my ass. There were so many times I went back and Ibis took more than a few seconds to load and I was SO sure it would crash ;-;

But! I didn't! And I got to bestow The Man upon you! And here we see Vincenzo enjoying a nice post-murder cigar. (He is reformed here! They were going to murder his partners, and as head of the royal guard/royal spymaster, he did his duty to the crown and dispatched them.) He deserves a little treat~

I will be writing out the full story soon, so make sure to keep an eye out for it on my writing blog: @thistleanddown!

[insert catchy title here]

hey, i'm tea (like the beverage). i'm in my early 20’s, and i live in midwestern USA so my timezone is central. i roleplay exclusively through email. i’ve tried other mediums and they just don’t stick for me. there will be an ooc thread for plotting/planning/talking and an rp thread for the actual roleplay. my ads never fully format properly after i submit them so i’m sorry if some stuff bleeds together or if there are huge blocks of text.

for the rp itself, well. i’m looking for a small array of things, so i figured i’d make an ad as a catch-all instead of doing something like one ad per request. i will only do oc/oc romance, and i only do m// and/or f//.

i’m currently looking to roleplay ocs in the following universes: fallout, percy jackson, harvest moon, and atla/lok. and for a purely original setting, apocalypse/post-apocalypse (zombies are good in my book! i like ‘em with a creative twist, though) or horror romcoms.

style; ☆third person. ☆past tense. ☆novel or multi-paragraph; i can snap out four paragraphs or 20, usually novel but like i can work w/ anything. ☆good handle on grammar, maybe some spelling errors if i’m responding from my phone. i’m very relaxed with typing OOC as u can tell but i go all out with actual writing, don’t worry.

characters; ☆varied in personality and backstory, i usually make new ones for rps but sometimes a character sticks with me. ☆i can handle various roles at once; side characters or recurring roles aside from mains are welcome. ☆doubling or tripling is alright. ☆i don’t use FC’s and prefer written descriptions, but i’m a hoe for pinterest and moodboards and use that for character references. i’m super into aesthetics. ☆i get attached to our characters so i’m into talking about them and making content. expect me making pinboards or drawing things or sending u vines/songs and being like “this is them.”

smut; ☆required. i don’t fade to black. ☆switch characters by default. i will die if you come to me with the intention of only playing bottom characters. ☆no incest, pedo, bestiality, toilet stuff, noncon, mpreg. please don’t contact me if u support any of that stuff in any way. i’ve had people contact me who have links online and i’ve found out they’ve written incest or pedo fanfics, so like… in general, stay away plz.

i prefer my partners to be 18+ minimum, 20+ is best case scenario. none of the characters will be underage and would be in their twenties or older.

AND NOW… ONTO THE UNIVERSE RELEVANCE… i’d looove to play any of these, but asterisks are for particular cravings.

FALLOUT; i’ve only played F3 and a little bit of F4 i know i’m a newbie. 😞 everyone tells me to play NV and i will! i’m working on it. i have no plot in mind other than it could be fun to make our own setting/area of the US they haven’t explored in canon, like mountains or something. but otherwise staying in canon areas is good! ☆ghoul/non-radiated person ☆fresh-outta-the-vault/wasteland veteran ☆sole-survivor/oc ☆lone wanderer/oc ☆regular oc/oc!

PERCY JACKSON;*** i never read heroes of olympus or any other riordan book beside the original PJO books. BUT i love the original series so that will be my focus. for the plot, i don’t have anything, but i’ve seen a couple ads floating around with some interesting plot bunnies? so anything is good! there is one proposal i’ve seen around that i think would be really fun, which is ocs in pjo in another time period. what can i say, the combination demigod/mythology + aesthetics from the 18th or 19th century just gets to me, i’m rlly into it atm! dashing adventures on cobblestone streets and deadly weapons hidden in skirts and tucked into the lining of carriages. PLUS U CANNOT DENY HOW PERIOD PINING KILLS U… brushing pinkies… longing gazes… i’m so down. but any time period to be honest, from ancient greece BCE to modern day. i’ve got a couple plot ideas + character ideas i’d like to try out so i’m ready when u are. some pairings ideas: ☆big three demigod/extremely minor demigod kid ☆demigod/satyr or spirit ☆demigod/someone who can see through the mist ☆demigods with a parental rivalry ☆BEST FRIENDS bro CHB is like. peak best friends to lovers scenario

STORY OF SEASONS/HARVEST MOON; alright, this one is pretty different. this would be very video game-like: heart events, character gift preferences, festival events, the whole nine yards. i have a couple of ideas for a town setting, but mostly i’d like to make one with my partner:

☆fantasy-based, like rune factory. along with humans, there could be dwarves, elves, mermaids/mermen, selkies, magic-users… maybe a shape-shifting dragon ☆supernatural-based, maybe a halloweentown vibe? or something more sinister. along with humans, there could be vampires, werewolves, demons, witches, ghosts, et cetera. ☆pokemon-based. instead of regular farm animals, they’re pokemon! miltank, combee, mareep, sudowoodo, et cetera. this could be suuuuper cute and fun. ☆LOZ-based, in hyrule. there could be hylians, rito, zora, et cetera.

A:TLA/LOK;** i’d prefer something set either before a:tla or after lok with our own avatar and group. could be fun and interesting to explore and make our own story. i have an idea for an avatar just because i’ve been thinking of avatar in general but i really don’t have a preference for the role so lmk if you’d rather play it. i also have a few little plot ideas, depending on what the timeline we shoot for is. ☆avatar/bender helping them master an element ☆avatar/non-bender ☆airbender/firebender ☆any/any!

APOCALYPSE/POST-APOCALYPSE;*** what can i say? every once in a while, i get bitten by the apocalypse bug. i’m used to doing post-apocalypse, where people are living on in the world after it’s ravaged, with it being the only world they’ve ever known. which is fun! but i’m also down for a current apocalypse, where people live their daily lives and are forced to adjust to the world following a catastrophic event. i’ll be honest, i prefer this genre with some sort of monster. usually zombie and I KNOW they’re overrated and everywhere ok but it’s a classic. i’m into zombies mostly in the vein of tlou or have a more creative twist but i’m cool with any. and that said, doesn’t have to be zombies! i’d love to do an apocalyptic rp with a different monster, from the supernatural to the paranormal to the extraterrestrial. a character being immune to whatever’s going down would be fun too.

HORROR/SUPERNATURAL ROMCOM; i prefer horror-comedy like the addams family with quirky horror stuff, so i’m not looking too much for anything genuinely frightening (but that could be super fun too! lmk how u feel). accidentally summoning a demon, someone accidentally selling their soul, vampires who have only been vampires for like a year, horribly unlucky witches, people investigating mysterious supernatural happenings in their town, roadtrips to hell, stuff like that. any and everything is good, my options are beyond open. also in general i prefer human/non-human pairings, so anything along those lines in a setting like this will work. werewolves, demons, vampires, witches, send them all my way.

My WIPs: The Others, Book #1 of The Others Series

I thought I would give an overview of my WIPs, as I would like to post more about their progress in the future. I will make an initial post about each WIP, then post updates accordingly with the proper tag.

The Others (The Others Series, Book #1)

It is mostly complete, but the drafting process is going to be long and vigorous. There is going to be some rough and merciless editing. No matter how much it hurts me to remove certain things, they have to go. (Shoutout to @stolenavalanche for being the only person reading and editing this trainwreck thus far btw.) Fantasy world set inside the human world. Supernatural creatures. Werewolves. Half-humans. A Troll or five. Some Spirits/Ghosts. No unicorns, sorry!

This is going to be really hard for me to explain, I failed every English assignment that included summarizing. But, here goes nothing.

It is a pretty normal good vs. evil fight, but it has so much leading up to that point that I can't even begin to summarize it. This would be 10 feet long. (It already might be.) Basically, there is a fight to save their kind, and possibly human kind, from the world domination of an evil, extremely powerful mofo.

The plot centers around a young woman named Divinity Lea Matthews, or Divinity No Last Name when she finds her own kind. She later becomes Divinity Lea Gray-Richards. Divinity has been a freak since her birth, constantly suffering in the human world, until Chandler Berk finds out who and what she is and brings her to the mansion to be kept safe. It is there that it is discovered she will be the savior of their kind.

Let’s visit the basics.

The World:

This WIP is about two kinds of creatures created by spirits breeding with humans. There are the Darkling's, or the Kindling's. These two species' are called, overall, either Others of Halfling's.

The Darkling's, despite their name, are not inherently evil. Nor are Kindling's inherently good.

The Halfling's, as the main characters prefers compared to Others, are created when a spirit inhabits a human man and breeds with a woman.

The Dark Spirits do this by force, possessing a man who is already cruel and twisted. They proceed to devour the human's memories and soul, until they can pass as the host they inhabit. No one is ever the wiser.

The children of this coupling are powerful half-humans with a slew of superhuman powers. They look like humans, mostly, however a form of transformation can take place when they are angry. They must be taught to control this, and their powers.

Good Spirits, which create Kindling's, make a trade of sorts with their hosts. The human retains full control of their minds, souls, and usually bodies. They get longer, fuller lives without sickness. In return, the spirit gets to experience life again.

Kindling's are also gifted with powers, but they are more defensive. Many are healers. Some can see the future. Some are used as vessels to bring prophesies into the world. Unlike fortune telling, these prophesies are guaranteed to come to pass.

All Halfling's are unnaturally attractive. The children are bordering on ethereal.

The world itself is on earth, and it has all the normal, modern things we see today. There are a couple things maybe a little sci-fi-y, but it's pretty normal overall.

It is centered mostly around a mansion set below a mountain in a fictional part of California. However, the opening chapters are in Nevada. There are a few parts that are in Washington and Oregon, fictionalized, and Russia, also fictionalized.

The Dynamics of this world:

Halfling Powers:

Halfling's powers, or gifts, come in a wide range. The most prominently mentioned among Darkling's are:

Telekinesis.

A few different versions of Telepathy, or The Touch as the main characters choose to call it.

The ability to tweak time, to a reasonable extent. NOT TIME TRAVELING.

“Retrievers” who feel others of their kind.

The ability to make others feel things (physically) that are not there. (Itching, bee stings.)

The ability to imbue objects with feelings, emotions, and sometimes the product of others powers. (Calmness, levelheadedness, bravery, energy, healing.)

Shields, they come in all different strengths. (Pretty self-explanatory otherwise.)

Reading the future or seeing the outcome of certain decisions.

Healing. (Very rare in Darkling's but there are some.)

The ability to converse with animals.

Kindling's can have all these abilities as well, but they are usually less offensive.

Kindling's are most often:

Healers, all different strengths. Some can only heal bruises or scrapes, others can bring their people back from the very brink of death.

Prophesiers. Unlike fortune tellers, what prophesiers say comes to pass. No matter what.

Powerful affinities to plants and animals.

(I freely admit that I don't focus as much on Kindling's. They stay to their own, mostly. They are more secretive by nature. My main character often sarcastically compares them to elves.)

All Halfling’s have the ability to Dream Walk, or enter each others dreams to communicate. They also have extreme control over their memories, so much so that they can either: A: Watch a memory from a third person point of view. Or B: Relive the memory like they were there all over again, from inside their (past) body.

Power Limits:

If Halfling's overuse their gifts, they can become weak or even die. Even my protagonist, dubbed the strongest of her kind, is shown to have some limits. Her Shield is especially draining in battle.

However, their gifts can be exercised and built like muscles. Some are simply weaker than others by nature, but they all have something about them. It is a very diverse power system.

Magic:

While I find magic fun, and it receives quite a few mentions, it is not a focal point of the first book, nor the second. There is no clear magic system, except that some people, human or otherwise, can use it and some can't. Magic is mostly mentioned when speaking of the mansion where Halfling's of North America dwell, as it is heavily enchanted to deter trespassers. (There are some fun loopholes that cause lots of juicy problems, though.)

Werewolves, when they appear, are more frequent users of magic than Halfling's. Which brings me to...

Other supernatural beings:

There are, of course, my original creatures that I created. (Including their reproduction!) But there are also other supernatural creatures.

Werewolves perhaps get the most plot time besides Halfling's, and they're pretty normal for folklore. There are some differences, like the way the Pack is run. It is split into Domestic Affairs (more like a regular government) and then the Pack Alpha and hierarchy that we know and love.

Third most mentioned supernatural creature after werewolves is Spirits and/or Ghosts.

Not your run-of-the-mill pale white, nearly invisible ghosts. When they walk the earth, they are in full color. Their edges are transparent and sometimes flicker, but they can touch others.

Spirits, on the other hand, are usually non-corporal versions of ghosts. They are not generally helpful, and are often the typical we think of with ghosts. Stuck between death and life. They can be the same ones that possess human hosts, but I honestly don't go into the distinctions much. (I probably should.)

There are also mentions of trolls, which the antagonist has in his army of general evilness. Trolls are human beings, twisted by dark magic in a bid to gain superhuman strength. They become stupid killing machines, with no sense of self. Easy to control by anyone with evil intentions.

There are mentions of vampires, but they are NOT what you think when you think vampires. I won't go into it much, but they are evil spirits of a different kind. Only corporal and vaguely human to feed, they are utterly uncontrollable and created from the darkest magic.

And then there's skeletons or dead people, resurrected by necromancy to fight the war that occurs in this book. Again, evil, twisted spirits will be called into dead bodies to reanimate them. Extremely strong, and hard to kill. Unless you've got a match and some lighter fluid on your person.

God(s):

Halfling's do not believe in any gods and have found no proof, however there may be some confusion near the 2/3ish mark of the book on this point.

A character dies and goes to a dark, empty abyss. There, they are met by Death's Mistress, or what is referred to as Reaper. Reaper then gives them a new prophesy, and a life lesson, before breathing life back into the character and sending them back to the living to continue the fight for Halfling kind.

Reaper continues to aid the characters throughout the book, even allowing certain spirits to return to earth for brief moments to speak to their loved ones. At a ceremony, Death himself appears alongside Reaper and loved ones near the end to witness the turning point in Halfling history.

Whether Reaper and Death are gods, that I leave up to personal opinions. (For the first book, at least. I'm toying with revisiting this as a sub-plot.)

Life Span, Health, Boring Physical Stuff:

Halfling's can live anywhere from 100 to 300 years, on average. In some rare cases, they can live up to or over 500 years. They are NOT immortal, although users of dark magic or gifts can twist themselves into becoming fairly close to it.

They are immune to most diseases, and burn off most drugs completely or at least very quickly. Some drugs, specifically created by Halfling's or werewolves, do work on them. They have to drink A LOT to get drunk.

Briefly mentioned somewhere around the 1/3ish part of the book, Darkling's have a distinct mark on their backs. It is personal to each of them. (Honestly I should revisit this too and elaborate because damn I missed some great sub-plot by only mentioning it in passing ANYWAYS MOVING ON.)

They have major reproductive issues, theorized to be due to their origins. Not quite human but not quite spirits, their bodies are different. This causes a drastically different way of continuing their race, with nearly 80% of pregnancies not making it. This causes children, whether their own or others, to be cherished.

And finally,

Characters!:

I won’t go into all my characters and their personalities, that would take days, but here are some of the main characters physical features we see regularly through the book:

Divinity Lea Matthews: Darkling. Hazel eyes. Dark brunette hair, red-gold highlights. Five feet two inches. High cheekbones, full cheeks. Medium breasts. Full hips and thighs. Sarcastic little shit.

Marcus: Evil monster of this series. Will not describe because hate his guts.

Chandler Berk: Darkling. Jade green eyes. Sandy hair. Six feet four inches. High cheekbones, native features. Muscular. Wide shoulders. Also a sarcastic little shit.

Darius Samual: Nasty human that doesn’t deserve recognition.

Detective Marx: Not gonna lie, I never really described Marx. He’s a big guy, weather worn, but gentle. Nice human that deserves more recognition than I give him.

Alvin The Cuddle Moocher: A cat. He deserves all the cat treats.

Elaine: Alvin’s slave. Kindling. Long bright red hair. Vivacious. A bit crass. Very sassy and head strong. Puts Divinity in her place, which takes mad ballsiness.

Nathaniel Gray: Storm cloud gray eyes. Reddish-brunette hair. Six feet. Kinda a wuss but it gets better once his Archilles Heel is out of the way.

Lucy Gray: Light blue eyes. Platinum blonde hair. Four feet eleven inches. Gentle, soft facial features. Full breasts. Tiny, birdlike. Loving. Mothering. Hoarder of knowledge and creepy books. (Surprisingly one of my favorite characters somehow.)

Bane: Darkling. Blue and silver eyes. Dark brunette hair. Six feet. Strong boned, sharp jawline. Muscular. Sexy as fuck. Sometimes sarcastic. Sometimes badass and scary. Usually very sweet and kind. Caleb Richards: .....How to describe very sexy werewolf that I would definitely bang. He hot. That’s all I’m willing to be forthcoming about. You just gotta read him to believe him.

Word Count: Nearly 235k. Might be more or less by the end of editing, who knows.

(Apologies in advance for shitty summary. I tried!)

[insert catchy title here]

well hello there… i see my title has caught your eye… -u-

introductions first: hiya! i’m tea (like the beverage), i’m in my early 20’s, and i live in midwestern USA so my timezone is central. i roleplay exclusively through email. i’ve tried other mediums and they just don’t stick for me. there will be an ooc thread for plotting/planning/talking and an rp thread for the actual roleplay. god i hope this looks okay because it NEVER formats well after i submit it and can be grueling to read when it’s a long ad like this.

for the rp itself, well. i’m looking for a small array of things, so i figured i’d make an ad as a catch-all instead of doing something like one ad per request. i will only do oc/oc romance, btw! the only exception to this is one fandom, which i will specify when i get to it.

i’m currently looking to roleplay something in these veins: fallout, percy jackson, story of seasons/harvest moon, avatar: the last airbender/legend of korra, and original (supernatural/demons/generic spooky things). read on if you want to know more.

style;

☆third person.

☆past tense.

☆novel or multi-paragraph; i can snap out four paragraphs or 20, usually novel but like i can work w/ anything.

☆good handle on grammar, maybe some spelling errors if i’m responding from my phone. i’m very relaxed with typing OOC as u can tell but i go all out with actual writing, don’t worry.

characters;

☆varied in personality and backstory, i usually make new ones for rps but sometimes a character sticks with me.

☆i can handle various roles at once; side characters or recurring roles aside from mains are welcome.

☆doubling or tripling is alright.

☆i don’t use FC’s and prefer written descriptions, but i’m a hoe for pinterest and moodboards and use that for character references.

☆i get attached to our characters so i’m into talking about them and making content. expect me sending u vines or songs and being like “this is them.”

romance;

☆yes…it is required by law (i am the law).

☆i am mainly looking for M// romance for ocs at the moment! F// is good too tho, esp when doubling.

☆hit me with every trope under the sun, i will be into it. i love cheesy stuff.

smut;

☆required. i don’t fade to black

☆switch, but preference can be discussed and swayed when doubling. i will however die if you come to me with the intention of only playing bottom characters.

☆no incest, pedo, bestiality, toilet stuff, noncon. please don’t contact me if u support any of that stuff in any way.

i prefer my partners to be 18+ minimum, 20+ is best case scenario. none of the characters will be underage and would be in their twenties or older, i don’t really like playing older teens (18/19) much even if they are of age and are legal adults. it’s just what i prefer.

AND NOW… ONTO THE UNIVERSE RELEVANCE… asterisks for cravings.

FALLOUT; i’ve only played F3 and a little bit of F4 i know i’m a newbie. 😞 everyone tells me to play NV and i will! i’m working on it. i have no plot in mind other than it could be fun to make our own setting/area of the US they haven’t explored in canon, like mountains or something. but otherwise staying in canon areas is good!

☆ghoul/non-radiated person

☆fresh-outta-the-vault/wasteland veteran

☆sole-survivor/oc

☆lone wanderer/oc

☆regular oc/oc!

PERCY JACKSON;*** ok i’m gonna be honest. i never read heroes of olympus. or any other riordan book beside the original PJO books. BUT i love the original series so like. u knowwww. for the plot, i don’t have anything, but i’ve seen a couple ads floating around with some interesting plot bunnies? i love the idea of demigods in a different time period. i don’t want to steal anything though, LOL. basically anything’s good! some pairings i like:

☆big three demigod/extremely minor demigod kid

☆demigod/satyr or spirit

☆demigods with a parental rivalry

☆BEST FRIENDS bro CHB is like. peak best friends to lovers scenario.

STORY OF SEASONS/HARVEST MOON;***

i love the harvest moon series & have been playing the gay ROMs lately so i’m really feelin it. this is the only fandom i will do canon characters for! specifically, canon/canon, either between bachelor/ettes or bachelor/ettes and the corresponding farmer for the game. i have a few favorites in some of the games i’ve played, which i’ll list here.

friends of mineral town/MFoMT: all DS/DS cute: all except carter. i loooove muffy!

sunshine island: all

animal parade: all; chase, toby, calvin, anissa, candace.

tale of two towns: all; kana, hiro.

a new beginning: all except allen; iroha, witch princess, sanjay, amir

story of seasons: all; raeger

of course, ocs in a story of seasons/HM setting would be so sick! i’d love to make a town with side characters. this would be very video game-like: heart events, character gift preferences, the whole nine yards. i have a couple of ideas for a town setting, but mostly i’d like to make one with my partner:

☆fantasy-based, like rune factory. along with humans, there could be dwarves, elves, mermaids/mermen, selkies, magic-users… maybe a shape-shifting dragon? ☆supernatural-based, kind of a halloweentown vibe? along with humans, there could be vampires, werewolves, demons, witches, ghosts, et cetera. ☆pokemon-based. instead of regular farm animals, they’re pokemon! miltank, combee, mareep, sudowoodo, et cetera. this could be suuuuper cute and fun. ☆LOZ-based, in hyrule. there could be hylians, rito, zora, et cetera.

A:TLA/LOK;*

i’d prefer something set either before a:tla or after lok with our own avatar and group. could be fun and interesting to explore and make our own story. i have an idea for an avatar just because i’ve been thinking of avatar in general but i really don’t have a preference for the role so lmk if you’d rather play it.

☆avatar/bender helping them master an element

☆avatar/non-bender

☆airbender/firebender

☆any/any!

ORIGINAL;

this one is the loosest i’ve got. i love small town horror vibes — think NiTW or OTGW. i prefer horror-comedy or like, quirky horror romcom stuff, so i’m not looking for anything genuinely frightening (but that could be so fun too). think a dude accidentally summoning a demon, someone accidentally selling their soul, some people investigating mysterious supernatural happenings in their town, stuff like that. any and everything is good, my options are beyond open. also in general i prefer human/non-human pairings, so anything along those lines in a setting like this will work. werewolves, demons, vampires, witches, send them all my way.
