Knight Eskel is done! 👏💜🐻

I'm actually really happy with how this turned out! I always forget how much fun I have with heraldry design work, it's both incredibly fun and super relaxing to work on.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy!

This was designed to be a deskmat for myself and a friend - if you want one too, it's up on my RB - as well as a sticker of just Knight Eskel (Link in pinned post) 💜🐺

Some shadow company ones- ft my 2 Ocs Oryn and Eskell (may make a post about them later-)

--

Oryn: Ah shit, I forgot.

Graves: Forgot what?

Oryn: How do you expect me to answer that?

--

Eskell: Oh, my God. Do you know what this is?

Graves: It’s a book. There’s a lot of those in here, this is a library.

--

Oryn: I have one foot in the grave but in a kind of fun flirty way, the way one might slip on a fishnet stocking.

--

Oryn: Why would anyone want to harm Graves?

Eskell: Maybe because they met him?

--

Oryn: There's no way he likes me back.

Graves: Eskell would throw himself in front of a moving car for you.

Oryn: Eskell would throw himself in front of a moving car for fun.

--

Graves: Eskell, that’s disgusting. You’re only giving free stuff to beautiful people.

Oryn: Yeah, you should be ashamed of yourself.

Eskell: Oh yeah? *gets really close to Oryn* How about a muffin on the house baby?

Oryn, giggling: I’m pretty.

Graves: I hate it here-

--

Oryn: Come on, Graves. Nobody actually believes that Eskell is in love with me.

Graves, to The Squad: Raise your hand if you think that Eskell is helplessly in love with Oryn.

*Everyone raises their hand*

Oryn: Eskell, put your hand down.

--

Graves: I dare you to kiss the next person who walks into this room.

Oryn: Screw that, I’m not kissing any of you.

*Eskell walks in*

Oryn: Fine, I’ll do it. Rules are rules you know.

--

Soap: Hey, what have you two been up to?

Ghost: We were helping Oryn write their vows, but they kicked us out because Graves was making inappropriate suggestions.

Graves: How is “Eskell, I love your sweet ass” inappropriate?

Soap: this is why I tried to blow him up in a tank.

--

Graves: Hey, what have you two been doing?

Oryn: we were helping Soap with their wedding vows and we were kicked out of their house for making it inappropriate.

Eskell: How is “Nice ass, Ghost” inappropriate?

Graves: not everyone needs to hear soap mention ghosts ass in his vows, Moon.

Eskell: I would-

Oryn and graves: we know.

--

Eskell: Are we really going to let Ghost keep Soap?

Oryn: We kept Graves.

--

Graves as a child: I can’t wait to grow up and have cool adventures!

Graves now: I can’t wait to go to bed.

--

Graves: Legend says that when you can’t sleep, it means you’re awake in someone else’s dreams.

Graves: When I find out who you are, I’m going to punch you in the face.

--

Graves: You can de-escalate literally any situation by asking ‘are we about to kiss?’

Graves: Doesn't work with getting out of speeding tickets, though.

@wanderingwolfwitcher continued from X

"Sounds good. How about we meet near Castel Ravello around...I think nighttime would be best, during all the evenings celebrations? After all, there is a reason Toussaint is famous for it's wines. Everyone will practically be drunk and it will give us more of an advantage to slip away into the night. I also think Nazair would be our best bet in looking for a ship. It's closer to where we need to take off for our destination and if the Empire disturbs us, worry not, I have a card to play for that."

Syanna couldn't help but clutch her hand behind her back at the name of familiar city. Nazair was just as important to her as Beauclair. It was where she had started over anew after being exiled by her own family, being adopted into a new one and becoming something other than she was. It was only fitting for her to return back there once again, following the same footsteps, except trying to do better this time.

"I will also make sure to pack some provisions we may need that could come in handy," she said, grabbing a coin purse as example and shaking it before placing it in a bag with a smug smile. However, her gaze slightly softened looking at him as she realized the risk and position she would be putting him in for this journey alone. If they didn't succeed in this, not only would they have a sorcerer after them, but all of Toussaint as well. And Syanna didn't think her sister could be so lenient with her a second time... "I'll see you soon, Eskel."

And with that, she bid him goodbye and closed the door.

[megraen]

When Fiona Leask first awoke on The Continent, she was pulling herself from the Pontar River that boarded Redania and Temeria. Her body was fatigued, like all strength ripped from her as if she’d been running for days. At the time, she could only remember sitting a distance from Stonehenge in the English countryside of Salisbury Plains of Wiltshire County. She’d been sketching the ancient stone monument in an old leather-bound journal her father had gifted her for her twenty-first birthday just months prior. Another gift from her parents had been an all-expenses paid historical tour of the United Kingdom for her to experience and learn about her ancestors and her homeland. So when she awoke in the rapids of that river, struggling to swim and coughing up her lungs, she had assumed that she had somehow ended up in the River Avon, which ran southeast of the stone monument. With little strength, Fiona had been able to drag herself to a nearby bank, dragging her soaked body across dirt, stones and sticks. At the same time, she fought to regain her breath before finally rolling onto her back to gaze up at the sky, the midday sun looming overhead in a patch of sky opened up between a thicket of treetops. 

Fiona didn’t even get a chance for her mind to process how she’d ended up in the river nor how she managed to just survived such an ordeal when an eerie sound perked her ears. A gurgly screech was like something she’d never heard before. Fiona fought through the pain that wracked her body to sit up on her elbow. But what she saw made her freeze. Her eyes widened as they landed on a trio of bloated humanoid-looking creatures. Skin blue and covered in scales and webbed hands and toes, they hunched over as their large white pupilless eyes were trained on her, moving towards her. Fiona could only lay there as they shuffled towards her like foul monsters out of a nightmare. Not even a scream could force its way out of her clenched lips. They were foul-looking monsters straight out of a nightmare or some grotesque horror movie. With shuddering breaths, Fiona’s eyes slowly closed, giving in and accepting defeat as the creatures came closer, their wet feet padding along the dirt. 

There was the sound of something moving fast, its feet thudding against the riverbank as they moved. Fiona heard the swings as something cut through the air, the sickly sounds of flesh being hacked off in single blows and blood splattering the earth. She finally released the breath she’d been holding when her eyes shot open, taking in the gruesome sight before her. The hulking stranger moved with such speed and grace that it was as if he was dancing between the creatures as his silver blade sliced completely through limbs. Time seemed to move slowly as she watched it all unfold before her, her breathing beginning to return to a steady rhythm. With a final swing of his sword, the man spun, his blade flicking downwards as the last of the creature's blood gripped from the steel. He was breathing hard as his amber eyes focused on the woman lying in the dirt before him, allowing Fiona to take in his appearance. The man was dressed like someone from a Renaissance festival or the Live Action Roleplaying scene with his old worn clothes made from cotton and leather, his brown stringy hair half tied up to keep it out of his face, the right side badly scarred. He was Eskel, a Witcher of School of the Wolf, based out of Kaer Morhen.

[thedemonofcat]

The wolves all receive a short missive from Vesemir one year. It reads: “Picked up a stray. He’s staying the winter at least”

The wolves are surprised, but they supposed it made sense. Vesemir liked to care for things, and he was likely lonely. If he brought home some mutt he rescued, well, good for him.

Except, when they arrive in Kaer Morhen before the first snow, there is no dog. There IS a whole-ass person: an ex slave named Jaskier.

The Witchers of the Wolf School stared in disbelief at the unassuming figure before them—a stray Vesemir had inexplicably brought back to Kaer Morhen.

"Hello," came Jaskier’s voice, soft and lilting like a melody. It was unexpected when Geralt, typically terse, responded first.

“It’s nice to meet you, too,” Geralt replied, extending a hand. Jaskier, however, tilted his head, perplexed.

“You’re supposed to shake it,” Vesemir clarified, his tone patient. With an awkward smile, Jaskier took Geralt’s hand and gave it a clumsy shake that left everyone watching in bemusement.

“Why don’t you get started on dinner?” Vesemir suggested, his voice carrying a note of encouragement. He knew an explanation was due for this peculiar guest.

Jaskier’s face lit up with a mischievous grin. “Alright,” he replied, sauntering off with an easy air.

Once Jaskier was out of earshot, Lambert, ever blunt, broke the silence. “Alright, I’ll bite. Who is he?”

Vesemir let out a heavy sigh. “Jaskier is a Selkie,” he began. “A knight-errant from Toussaint had been keeping him as some sort of... Selkie bride.”

“Doesn’t sound like it was a happy arrangement,” Eskel remarked, his voice low with concern.

“Not in the least,” Vesemir confirmed, his tone sharp with disdain. “That knight treated Jaskier like a prized possession—barking orders, beating him when it suited him. He even kept Jaskier’s cloak hidden to stop him from returning to the sea and had the gall to brag about it.”

“What happened to the knight?” Geralt asked, his voice neutral but his eyes dark with unspoken thoughts.

“He’s dead,” Vesemir said simply, without an ounce of pity. “Got cocky trying to fight a wyvern. Serves him right.”

There was a pause before Vesemir continued, his voice tinged with something close to pity. “Look, you saw how Jaskier didn’t even know what a handshake was. He hasn’t said much, but I gather he was taken from the sea as a child. That knight kept him isolated, ignorant of so many things. There’s a lot Jaskier doesn’t know... yet.”

The witchers exchanged glances, the weight of Vesemir’s words settling over them. Jaskier was more than a stray; he was a mystery—and a wounded one at that.

Ah! I lost another fic! I need to be better at bookmarking the ones I like! I’m 90% sure this one is a completed multi chapter on Ao3.

In this one Jaskier winters in Kaer Morhen. He ends up being very cuddly with all the Witchers (Lambert, Eskel, and Geralt). They all share a bed and really love Jaskier. I remember that lambert makes a comment at one point about how Jaskier will die soon and so they all stop touching him and Jaskier starts to get sad and insecure. Then vesemir goes to bed early since the room smells so sad at dinner. Jaskier all but yells at them asking why they seem to think he is a monster before he admits that he isn’t fully human and freaks out a bit before they all hug him and tell them it doesn’t make a difference.

I can’t remember who Jaskier is in love with. It’s either Geralt or all three of them! Also pretty sure Jaskier is part wood elf and he doesn’t age and flowers live a bit longer than they should. Geralt also makes a comment about how the flowers braided into his hair never wilt and lambert tries to tease Geralt about letting Jaskier braid them into his hair and he shoots back with something like, “shut up, you would let him braid them into your hair too!”

Thank you for any help!

@the-nettle-knight Saved my sanity! Thank you.

Fic found! If I Must Starve- Igneum807. A great sweet read!

⚘ @wanderingwolfwitcher // cont.

Water coursed over his scarred skin like molten silver, tracing every ridge and valley carved by time and battle.  Anri’s gaze lingered, captivated as always, but not merely by the sight of him, though she could not deny the feral beauty Eskel possessed.  It was the quiet comfort of his presence, the solidness of him, how the world shrank to just this space when he was near.  In these moments, the weight of her quest, his Path –  the blood, the ash, the endless press of death and horror – seemed lessened. 

Ever gallant, he kissed her hand.  The Witcher was capable of tremendous ferocity and violence, could mount her with gold-eyed passion, hammering her into bedroll, meadow, mattress – wherever the mood so took them.  And yet, he remained tender.

A kiss to the scar, then, to that unfinished bite.

Anri worked the soap into his skin, her knuckles grazing the ridges of old wounds.  She wondered, not for the first time, if his body ever truly healed – or if the memories of battle imprinted themselves too deeply to ever fade.    

“Mutations or no, I will tire you out,” she teased, her voice lilting with challenge, a sparkle in her blue eyes daring him to deny it.  It was in jest, knowing already that her mundanity was no match for his stamina.  “I will send you into sleep’s oblivion empty, humming.”

He gripped her then, large hands collaring her waist, drawing her near.  Water spray ricocheted off his solid form, covering her body in warm, cleansing mist.  Anri stared up at him, doe-eyed and adoring, aware of the insistent nudge of his arousal against her hip.  It was a dizzying feeling, to be so desired.

Palms roved lower, and she could feel the strength of those hands as they slid to the curve of her back, then lower still.  Her breath hitched when his lips met hers, Eskel’s kiss achingly slow, his mouth a well of worship that left her trembling.  The washcloth slipped from her hand, forgotten, as her sudsy fingers rose to rest on his shoulders.

Cascading water framed her flushed face, her lips parting on a sigh as his fingertips dipped into her, stroking where she was wet and wanton.  That touch sent fire through her veins as she rocked gently, instinctively, against him.  It was as if the world around them dissolved, leaving only the heat of the Witcher’s hands and the gentle roar of water filling the silence.

Eskel drank in her every reaction, his gold-flecked eyes alive with a deep, primal satisfaction.  It seemed to please him to please her.  Pleased him so that he sank to his knees, scattering kisses down her body as he descended, devouring her in worship.  Anri gasped when his hot, hungry mouth found her, clutching blindly at his shoulders, his damp hair, her knees threatening to give way as pleasure bloomed through her.  

She thought to speak, to tease him with some witty remark, but her voice faltered, replaced by a soft, tremulous moan.  Strands of sodden blonde clung to her flushed cheeks as she watched him, as she whispered his name, the sound barely audible above the steady patter of water.  Then, the best she could muster:

“The fair lady knight likes your ideas,” she moaned breathlessly.  “Very, very much.”

[starwrittenfates]

@wanderingwolfwitcher continued from X

His words seemed to calm her. So far, it seemed, he had no issue with knowing she was one of the girls cursed under a Black Sun. Syanna noted how he didn't even flinch, nor look at her with fear or distrust. And was that sympathy? She knew she shouldn't be surprised since he was a Witcher and had faced worse monsters, but yet, there was something about it that made her feel warm. It made her feel...human. And it was a difference she welcomed. "Be careful, Eskel, I may just end up falling for you." She said playfully, chuckling.

Syanna beckoned her horse to continue following once he informed her of a mountain cavern up ahead. Glancing upon it, she nodded. Sure, it wasn't ideal, but it was better than nothing. "I don't mind it. I've been in far worse too, but I'd rather be here than around false knights who don't honor their code. That's another story...let me help you set up camp."

[awitcheress]

So I've been watching way too many cooking shows on Facebook and Instagram lately..

Geraskier modern AU - non magical. Part 1.

Geralt is homeless and has been for most of his life. Jaskier is not. In fact, his family is filthy rich. But they don't approve of what he wants in life which is to be a Michelin star gourmet chef. He's been cooking his entire life because when he was a kid, his parents pretty much made sure he studied, but apart from that they didn't care much. (Very original premise, I know... Lol.)

But the one person who did care for him was the chef of the household. An elderly man who lost his son and wife, when the son was only a small child, so Jaskier and the chef find each other immediately and form a strong bond. Even as a very young boy, Jaskier shows much talent in cooking.

Then, when Jaskier turns eighteen, Chef dies. Jaskier is devastated by his loss and he equates everything good and loving with food. So, he wants to go to culinary school to continue learning to become as skilled at cooking as Chef.

When his parents refuse to allow him this (Surprise!), Jaskier runs away. Unfortunately, he has no way to survive and ends up homeless and alone. For long, miserable weeks, he starves and suffers cold weather, nowhere to feel safe, no one to trust.

Sometimes he even considers returning to Lettenhove...

One day, late at night, he is cornered by a big, muscular man, who beats him up and tries to rape him. It's too dark for Jaskier to see what the man looks like. There have been instances of rape/murders all over Novigrad. Jaskier is convinced he is going to die, when two other men appear and chase Jaskier's attackers away.

Jaskier is profoundly grateful to these two men who introduce themselves as Geralt and Eskel. Well, Eskel introduces them. Geralt only mumbles... (naturally)

Eskel tells Geralt to accompany Jaskier to the city watchmen. He does, but it's useless. Homeless people being raped and murdered? Just as well. It'll clean up the city streets is their attitude.

Geralt doesn't seem surprised. Regardless, Upon leaving, Jaskier chatters away with Geralt. He relies his life's story in two minutes flat 😂 as Geralt "hms" and grunts in his own inimitable way. Jaskier is not deterred. He's in love.

This gruff, tall and broad shouldered man is Jaskier's knight in...tattered old black clothing. His hair is long and the color of the palest cream, and he is absolutely breathtaking. Geralt has a voice that rumbles deep in his chest when he chooses to say something. His legs are long and powerful, his eyes like liquid honey... Geralt's arms are sinewy and strong. Oh dear, Jaskier has to stop himself from melting like ice cream left out in the sun...

Geralt helps introduce Jaskier to the people at the homeless shelter, and he's offered a bed there. Geralt leaves and, again, Jaskier is alone. The shelter is nothing like what he's used to from home, but it's eons better than the last few weeks on the street. He has a roof over his head, even if he has to share living space with others.

Thus, the loneliness is gone quite rapidly. Jaskier meets several people there, among them, Vesemir, who runs the soup kitchen. When he finds out that Jaskier likes to cook, Vesemir invites him to help.

Soon his life is changed into something so different, he feels his head spinning, and Jaskier's days are a million times better. He has access to showers, a bathroom, clean water, he's gets to eat at least once a day. And, cooking, something he loves to do so much, is actually helping others. The love is back in his life.

And then, of course, there's Geralt. Speaking to him, and listening to others, Jaskier learns that Geralt, despite his gruff nature, is a good man who patrols the streets with his brothers, Eskel and Lambert. They're trying to help keep the homeless safe, but there are so many of them...

Several young, homeless, slender and pretty men, like Jaskier, are raped and murdered. Jaskier's description of the man who attacked him is shaky at best... "Big and strong" fits even Geralt and his brothers. The only one who wasn't there is Lambert, who is a bit of a prick.

Geralt and Jaskier over time becomes friends if a sort but Geralt is not responding to Jaskier's attempts at flirting.

A year goes by, and one day, Geralt finds Jaskier in the kitchen with big news....

[lucigoo]

Weekly Roundup: 16th December - 22nd December 2024

I wrote 3 fics this week, with a combined word count of 7,672. Two of these fics are also colabs from the Bagginshield Book Club (BBC) server.

But first ofc, recs!

A Passion For Mushrooms - Chrononautical - The Hobbit (Bilbo/Thorin, huge world building fic and los of cultural misunderstandings)

Summary: There are many trials for a hobbit attempting to make a life among dwarves. A hobbit wants a garden. A hobbit wants to eat regular meals. A hobbit wants friends, good books, and comfortable chairs. Bilbo does his best to carve out a little hobbit life for himself in the mountain. If only there were not one final obstacle. For a hobbit heart wants love, and among dwarves that is a sticky subject.

battlefield manners - theMightyPen - The Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien (Boromir/Theodred, its so cute!)

Summary: Boromir and Theodred live, and observe their younger family members navigating ballrooms and love alike.

An Offer You Can't Refuse - AvoidingAverage - Wiedźmin | The Witcher (Geralt/Jaskier, a clever and emotional au)

Summary: the Mafia/Werewolf AU no one asked for.

Dans l’Amour et le Meurtre - Swankyo0 - The Witcher (Geralt/Jaskier, modern au that I adore)

Summary: The long-haul trucker, contract killers AU that no one asked for.

I'm Lost, I'm Found in You - whisperedstory - Wiedźmin | The Witcher (Geralt/Jaskier, Cat Witcher!Jaskier for the win!)

Summary: After Geralt gets injured on a hunt, he's nursed back to health by another witcher. Over the next few years, Geralt keeps crossing paths with the Cat—first by accident, then on purpose.

end with hope - thewalrus_said - Wiedźmin | The Witcher (Geralt/JAskier, an adorable Knight's Tale au)

Summary: “It’s okay, Lam,” Aiden says. His voice is a little too loud for the situation, but that’s alright. Jaskier’s merry band of boys often struggle with volume control, in groups or separately. “I told Jaskier about Geralt’s fight with Yennefer, and how we came here so he can apologize and get her to forgive him. Because they’re in love,” he adds, unnecessarily.

“You told him what,” Lambert hisses, looking incredulous.

Eskel rests a big hand on Lambert’s shoulder. “It’s alright, Lambert,” he says soothingly. “I told Jaskier about Geralt’s feelings for Yennefer weeks ago, it’s about time he got all the information about the current situation.”

“Geralt’s feelings. For Yennefer,” Lambert says flatly. He throws his hands in the air. “Fuck, sure, fine. Geralt’s in love with Yennefer, and now Jaskier knows and is going to help them get back together.”

Hope oyu find somehting to your liking <3

And now, ofc, my fics 💙

This first two fics were written with my wonderful Bagginshield besties and members of the BBC @shantismurf, @lisellelascelles, @shujinkomononobe

Summary: This story begins: "Once upon a time there was a Hobbit who loved raisins more than anything." 👀

Baggins' Beans - DrakeShadeDShadowheart, Lucigoo89, shantismurf - The Hobbit (Bilbo/Thorin)

Summary: Our second attempt at a story relay game begins with the prompt: "Strong? It's not bad, though, is it? Oh, I appreciate it! Yes, I'll put another order in for you right now."

My third fic was written for the BBC Midwinter Gift Exchange 2024 | Archive of Our Own. If you are a Bagginshield fan, please check out the mix of fics and art choke full of winter fun.

When a monster becomes a beloved mutt (Bilbo/Thorin, written as a gift fic for th eamazing @shipper47)

"How you doing, kid?" Lambert asks, as he plops his arse down next to Ciri. She looks at him, the red headed witcher taking her attention away from the near empty waterskin, and into his murky brown eyes. Unusual, as Geralt had beautiful gold ones, Coën has a very unusual combination of blue and brown in the same eye, while Vesemir resembled the only twice grassed witcher in existence more than he did Eskel or Marek or Everard or Gwain. In a keep of glowing eyes, a relativley normal colour is unexpected.

"Alright." Ciri shrugs, "Geralt rip you a new arsehole for hitting me with the sack of rocks earlier?" She grins as he scoffs, pushing messy red curls from his face, his thick fingers getting caught in the rediculous tangles. No witcher would be seen dead with a comb in their hand, it would seem.

"Bitched on and on for almost an hour. About how I should 'take into accountability how fragile humans are' and 'how you won't be able to learn anything if I give you a broken shoulder'," he mocks, his voice a pitiful imitation of the white wolf's growling nature. "Crock've bullshit, if you ask me. Can't teach you anything with kiddy gloves and gentle taps. Only way you're gonna learn is if we push your arse, but your daddy says no." He scoffs. "I'm gonna put your arse on the pendulum every time he skives off to hunt or if Ves gets him patching up walls, you know that, girl? Nobody's gonna go easy on you now, you know that? A kikimora won't strike slower just 'cause you're not a mutant, a soldier won't give you a second to catch your breath. Your dad won't, so I've gotta take it upon myself to teach you all the dirty, scrappy tricks the white wolf would never lower himself to do. White Knight, he is." Lambert smirks, bumping his shoulder against Ciri's, and she chuckles at him.

"I'm honoured." She grins. "How 'bout you show me a few more sword ticks before you loose a finger?"

Lambert smirks. "Love to see him try, kid."

I'm looking for a witcher fic, Help!

I'm looking for this fic That I know I've read somewhat recently, and I'll break it down below, but I wanted to share some screenshots as well.

First, when I search what I'm looking for I get a snippet of the synopsis right there. I'm nearly 100% certain that that is the fic I'm looking for.

Which then leads me to these, and the fic is not there. There are nine fics under the monarch Jaskier tag, and none of them are what I'm looking for.

Synopsis, as I remember it:

This is after the mountain fight, so Geralt and Jaskier are separate. I think Eskel finds him and invites him/asks him to come help. Over the past few years, Geralt accidentally conquered a town/ lordship area because the Lord was doing some bad stuff. Anyway, they had conquered this area and then left, and then Bandits came into the town and were violent, so the witchers are now trying to basically be the Lords of this area - it's not going great. So they invite Jaskier just to help de-stress Geralt, to be a friend, and then Jaskir ends up taking over. Eventually, he becomes lordship and then it turns out that he's out of the elf and they're doing a lot of work to help non-humans, and they're fighting with the human Lordships and kings, and eventually they crown Jaskier. Throuout this there's talk about how Geralt wants to be a knight, and then he becomes Jaskiers 1st knight.

I'm at a point where someone can find this, I will pay actual cash money for it. I don't even remember if it's that fabulous a fic, it's just driving me insane that I can't find it but I know I've read it a couple times.

Roleplay Ad

Update: Due to not wanting to overwhelm myself. While also providing my current rp partners with quality and relatively consistent rp, my request for rp partners is currently closed! Still feel free to reach out if you like and I'll keep you in mind for if things open up.

Ah, hello Tumblr roleplayers, it has been a while! I am one of many who was left adrift after Omegle shut down and am on the search for rp partners.

I am looking for rp partners in a variety of fandoms, genres, ships, etc. I’ll have all of them listed in a hopefully organized manner below and will do my best to keep this list accurate. If you’re interested, feel free to shoot me a DM or interact with this post and I’ll reach out to you. But please do read through this post fully before doing so, thanks!

A Little About Myself:

-Age: 20+

-Pronouns: She/They

-Experience: I’ve been roleplaying off and on in a variety of fandoms and styles for around 10+ years

What I’m Looking For In A Roleplay Partner:

-Age: Roleplayers who are at least 20+ as well

-Style: I’m open to a variety of styles, I roleplay everything from one sentence “text message” style to multi-paragraph advanced lit. Though my preferences tend to lean towards lit/advanced lit.

-Location: I’d prefer someone who’s comfortable transitioning to Discord, once we agree on what we want to rp

-Expectations: One of the things I loved about Omegle were the casual vibes when it came to when an rp needed to end. So, while I hope for some long term rps, I’m looking for people who will be okay with rps ending when interest dissipates. Without the need for big explanations as to why. This goes both ways! I won’t expect such explanations from you either if we start any sort of storyline and you end up wanting to drop out. The way I see it, this is meant to be a fun pass time and ideally shouldn’t feel like a stressful obligation for either of us.
