#i dunno the lore the drama the rp stuff

“I’m gonna give you a chance to run, and go tell every single person who you know about what just happened today. I want you to tell Rat, I want you to tell everybody. This… this is what I’m capable of now.”

Crappy drawing I made as quickly as I could, I dunno exactly all the lore in the Content SMP but one too many @doctor4t videos has done this to me and my curiosity—

c!Lux belongs to @luxintrus and c!Blake belongs to @winsweep

[ungarmax]

so here’s that thing from my drafts i was talking about earlier.  i didn’t read it over or anything so it probably doesn’t make any sense, but SHRUG EMOJI.  @nekosd43 @epersonae @siobhanrobotnik

i’ve been thinking kind of obsessively about a taagnitz royalty au idea i had the other day.  celeste and i were talking about starting a new rp and throwing ideas around and i randomly said, “taako is a prince and magnus is a stable boy!” just as a generic idea, but then.  THEN.  i started to think about it.  and i added kravitz, which made it at least 50% better.

there’s an elven nation called the felicity wilds ruled by a set of twins from the animus clan (edward & lydia).  in this nation, twins are considered royalty because they tend to only show up in families because, i don’t know, elven genetics or something.  there are also other races living there, primarily humans and half elves.

there were probably seven royal houses at some point, but elves live a long time and have a lot of time to murder each other, so we’re gonna say only one house/clan remains in power.  the other families have died out or scattered.  sometimes people claim to be from one of the clans, but it’s usually just bullshit.

taako and lup were definitely from one of those clans, probably disgraced or something a long time ago, or maybe it’s sort of a “hide your royal babies who are gonna get murdered in this coup d’etat” situation.  either way, they were raised in a human orphanage at the very edge of the country for a long time without the knowledge that twins are royalty, etc.  at some point, someone figures out who they are, and they find out they’re part of the phoenix clan.  the current leaders aren’t the most popular monarchs and so it’s easy for them to get political support, and they’re not planning on taking over anyway.  at least not right now.

anyway, they get some like...off brand royal titles like duke and duchess or something.  no actual political power, but good for popularity.  they both think it’s dumb as shit, but they enjoy having things for basically the first time in their lives.  they get to go to wizard college and stuff.

meanwhile, the next country over is a more human based country, although a lot of dwarves live there too.  this country is actually called shadowfell (based on the raven queen’s actual location according to d&d lore), but due to the fact that most of the industry in the country is excavating and polishing precious gems, residents affectionately call it the crystal kingdom.

shadowfell is also known for its necromancy.  specifically, their good necromancy.  no zombies or skeleton friends here.  their necromancers are generally very respectful of the dead and have an abiding consciousness of the soul and body’s connection to one another.  dark necromancy, like raising undead, or becoming a vampire or a lich?  very frowned upon.  punishable by doing time in the eternal stockade, or even by death.

residing over the nation is the raven queen, the ‘raven’ part being a ceremonial title for whomever wears the crown.  her real name is unknown, but those close to her call her ruby.  her partner is ????, and she has a grown son, kravitz, who is looking to get married.

there are maybe some border disputes or a trade agreement that could be beneficial to both countries, something like that, and also the shadowfell royal family isn’t opposed to having some magic mixed in with it.  i guess they’d also have to be cool with like a half elf in there too.  idk it’s possible necromancers have longer lifespans than regular humans/dwarves/whatever because of their close connection with death itself, so half elven lifespan is pretty average to them.  the POINT was that edward and lydia known an opportunity when they see one and decide to foist their problem twins off onto the crystal kingdom.

i think it’s lup that they send with the intention of marrying her off to kravitz.  i don’t want to say there aren’t magical or just scientific means for trans women to have babies in this world, but i do rather like the idea that it’s kind of a ‘fuck you��� to kravitz & co. when they know that heirs are important.  if you want to get into skeevy bullshit, maybe edward was courting taako and taako was like “no thx bye” and he figures he might have a better shot with taako if lup is gone away.

taako absolutely travels with lup, as does lup’s handmaiden, lucretia, who is also secret girlfriend.  and they arrive at the palace and, oh no he’s hot.  taako gets a crush on kravitz literally immediately, and kravitz, bless his little gay heart, can’t even see lup.

but lup is the one who is supposed to be courting kravitz, and taako is here for emotional support or whatever.  kravitz wants to do what’s best for his country, even if it means marrying a woman, so he spends a lot of time with lup, who isn’t really particularly interested.  he’s nice?  he’s definitely not really into her, and she’s definitely not really into arranged marriage or whatever.  she’s probably not into this entire trip, but that’s not really kravitz’ fault.

so taako is bored as fuck, but he likes horses and this country has a lot of open places and nature to explore.  so he ends up going down to the stables and borrowing a horse almost every day.  and he gets to know the guy in charge of the stables, who is of course magnus.  they sort of bond over stupid jokes about horse dicks and their shared love of nature and horses.  romance happens, because that’s what this dumb story is about.

meanwhile, lup has met one of the more dubious members of the shadowfell court, a necromancer named barry whose family had gotten into some Bad Necromancy Shit when he was small and had gotten removed from their place in the shadowfell nobility.  barry is working on making up for what his ancestors did and was begrudgingly allowed to return, if only because he’s a brilliant scientist who has made great advancements in the field.

lup and barry hit it off instantly.  and since we’re doing ot3s here, in this house, lucretia is cool with lup being poly, and lup has lucretia’s blessing to pursue this bluejean-clad nerd.

thing is, kravitz and taako also have this mutual flirtation thing going on whenever they happen to meet, and it’s very clear to pretty much everyone that they’re into each other.  taako, however, is dating magnus at this point, so he kind of tries to keep his distance.

but since lup and kravitz aren’t into each other, someone at some point makes the suggestion that taako marry kravitz instead, which would solve all the border disputes or whatever was the issue, and that would also keep taako from having to go back home to be courted with by edward, which he Does Not Want, so it’s Hard.  they don’t get to stay here if no one is marrying kravitz, after all.

but taako has a boyfriend!!!  but staying here would solve a lot of his problems and he doesn’t want to go home!!! but it’s hard!!!

and then lup is like, hey dude you know i have a boyfriend AND a girlfriend right, maybe you could, like, you know, do that too.  and taako is like wow what a great idea let me go talk to all my boyfriends and make sure they’re all right with this.  except probably with more worrying about everything for drama or something, man, i dunno.

anyway, then he marries kravitz and continues dating magnus, and lup marries barry and/or lucretia, and everyone is happy.  and they adopt angus and he can be the next king after kravitz.  man, i dunno.

also, i tihnk merle is one of kravitz’ advisors for some reason, even though he is down an arm and it’s pretty much kravitz’ fault (don’t ask me how yet i don’t know).  davenport’s from felicity wilds and traveled with taako and lup.  i don’t know his job title exactly.  maybe he’s kind of a “””handler.”””  they call him dad because they know he hates it.

Things I like my RP partners to know!

Like to be called: Nevi, Eugene, whatever character name I’m on if you can’t remember

Gender: Transmasculine nonbinary (he/him or they/them)

One thing you should know about me: I’m just really not that sociable with people I don’t know, but I’m also not actually that hard to get to know, just start doing a thing near me for a while and eventually we’re friends, not entirely unlike cats. (Please don’t just slide into my DMs every day with absolutely nothing to say other than ‘hello how are u’, I’m really shit at small talk and neither of us are going to enjoy that.)

A second thing you should know about me: I’m hella burnt out right now and not even really logging in other than to maintain stuff, so...

One thing you should know about my character(s): They’re all varying kinds of dumbasses. Some of them hold opinions I really don’t agree with. Don’t fall into the trap of assuming they’re me, it’ll just get Real Awkward, Real Fast.

First language: English, but I can at least read French mostly and I’m passable at Japanese if you don’t mind me being slow (my speaking is pretty fluent, my reading.......eeeeehhhhhn, give me a few minutes with a dictionary, I’m rusty on kanji).

Highlight

RP Blog: Contains OOC Posts | Does not Contain OOC Posts | Single Muse Blog | Multimuse Blog | Aesthetic Blog

While I do have a sideblog for @lenneth-andrew specifically, everyone else shares @smol-nevi. I’m not big into aesthetic unless it’s something super good, and even then that’s mainly just a Lenneth kind of thing because he’s a frilly bastard.

Age Range: Under 13 | 14–17 | 18–22 | 23–25 | 26–29 | 30+ | 70+

I’m old, okay.

Am I ok with NSFW?: Yes | No | Depends

I like ERP and general smuttery if the situation’s right, I don’t mind injury and some darker topics, but sexual assault or hard drug use/addiction as topics are gonna be a hard No from me. I don’t care if I know that it’s going on in social proximity to me, that part doesn’t bother me, but I really don’t want to hear the details or end up in any of the plots involving it.

My favorite most common thing to RP is: Angst | Fluff | Smut | Crack | Action | Slice of Life | Plots | Events | Canon Lore | Non Canon Lore | Other

I dunno, I used to be more slice of life and eventy, but I’ve kinda gotten tired. I like plots that go somewhere and action lately. I’m not into stuff that blatantly breaks canon. Plays with it, sure, sign me up, snaps it over its knee with crossover characters or stuff that literally can’t exist in lore...not so much.

OC friendly?: Yes | No | Depends

I mean, basically everyone’s OCs except for the few canon-character RPers (and more power to them, I fully support doing whatever the hell you want to do, and don’t take any of my preferences as me saying that you shouldn’t do something because I don’t like it), but at the same time I’m not interested in super high-powered characters or RP, because I prefer to write fairly low-powered stuff with more interpersonal drama than blowing shit up drama. If most of the tension comes from someone being able to kill people by looking at them mean or something I’m kinda not onboard.

[kusunokihime-a]

Knowing your partner well makes writing together a lot easier. Tag this with people you enjoy roleplaying with,  but want to get to know better!

BASICS  !

name : Sylvéra. Peeps call me Sylvie. Or Sylv. Or...silverware if you’re Cupid

age  : 26 for like...another month and a day (gods no not another birthday OTL)

pronouns : She/her or they/them or...whatever, honestly

zodiac  sign  : Libra

taken  or  single  : Single pringle cuz lbr I’m a Mess™ nobody wants to have to clean up

THREE  FACTS  !

1. I did choir all four years of high school and I really like to sing. So long as no one hears me uwu; I’ve posted a song on here before but uh...dunno if I’ll ever do that again, aha

2. I have an elemental altar in my room based on the religion in my fantasy series lore cuz I’m a nerd .w. It’s even got several real animal skulls on it! (All of which were found out and about, I can’t even squish bugs mkay - I’ve had the cow skull on it for like...fifteen years?)

3. I collect dragon and owl figurines. Not...really sure how many I have by now

EXPERIENCE  !

platforms  used  : Tumblr, ff.net ims, and gmail ims. And I guess a lil bit on Discord. But honestly I way prefer Tumblr than anything else. Discord’s good for short stuff, but unless you make a group with a channel, going between RP and chat is a lil messy for my tastes .w. And I’ve been on Tumblr for just shy of three years, been RPing overall for almost seven, and writing in general since I was a very wee bean, like...six years old, lmao

MUSE  PREFERENCE  !

female  or  male: Don’t really have a preference, really. I’ve got all sorts on the bloggu - male, female, non-binary, trans...gender isn’t really a factor in my muses, it’s more if they intrigue me or not

least  favorite  face(s): I am...not sure what this means...?

multi  or  single : Multi. I can’t blog juggle to save my life, and...tbh I don’t really have the heart to start any more blogs from scratch - idek how I stuck with this one through its initial phases .w.;;; That stuff’s hard, man

WRITING  PREFERENCE  !

fluff  /  angst  /  smut : Mmm...depends? I really like dramatic stuff (not necessarily angst, but angst is also good): stuff that’s complicated, maybe political-ish (looking at , OMaM and DL). I dunno, if I’m gonna THREAD something, I want it to have depth. Consistency. That being said, I also really like fluff cuz...I have enough sadness and drama in my life, aha. Smut can be fun, but...I have to be super chill with the mun first, cuz...some experiences elsewhere have made writing it super hard at times. I don’t want a repeat of feeling used for smut, mkay?

plot  /  memes : Why not both? I will admit, memes are easier to just sit and do, and some have led to some of my FAVORITE threads. I don’t plot much, but a few plotted threads I have now (mostly DL with @yukaikokorowho is an angel and writes all my fave AUs with me) are just...super fun to write, and it’s nice to have some direction, though winging it is fun to. It kinda just depends!

TAGGED  BY:  I stoled it .w.

TAGGING: Any peeps who wanna do, so I can see what yours are!

Send 🔪 for a fandom you refuse to associate with

lbr it used to be mcu/marvel in general with the exception of literally one person. However I’ve found my little circle of nice people in the rpc and things are better. I guess… i dunno I’d never rp in the fast and furious rpc if there is one? uhm, most crime drama shows i definitely refuse with the exception of @fbiartist being a great criminal minds oc. lol. But like law and order, stuff like greys anatomy, house md, ncis or csi. i Just don’t dig the shows. bones however, bones I’d associate with

(note: My selectivity with marvel muses comes from how awful I’ve seen some muns be in the rpc about OCs and especially ocs who do not fit the description of a cishet person with pages of intricate and confusing lore behind their story. As Well as issues with abusive behavior towards muns who do not comply with popular fanon for any reason. The marvel fandom in general can be really toxic leading me to just not enjoy being active in it. It’s not that i hate marvel Or specific people. It’s simply elitism that i hate. And cliques.)

let's get salty

How has Tumblr RP changed since you started?

OH BOY. Well once upon a time, all you needed was some gifs and a few lines of dialogue. You could make a post with a gif and a simple line as ‘what did I miss’ ( insinuating that they missed something on their dash between their friends while they were away ) and then wham bam, you’d get a few notes of their said friends hitting you up with some drama or funny stuff. It used to be so simple and so much fun. Muses were intertwined, cheating, DRAMA, friendships, it was better then. I felt like my characters had a world. Instead of multiple worlds and one dimensional interactions. It’s so political now too. It’s all about your theme, your icons, your writing style ( which jesus fucking christ has gotten so ridiculous ), how tiny your text is, and your graphics/promo’s. 

Most of these new changes I can deal with. The tiny text is annoying but I manage. However the new hip writing style annoys me. Capital letters matter, proper comma usage matters, and there is a such thing as being too extra. Writing should be creative, so I mean, if that’s how your creative juices flow then by all means do you but I don’t understand how it’s popular. 

Another thing, if you don’t follow the new hip trends, you’re ignored. Regardless of how well you write or how deep your character’s lore goes. People see that your blog isn’t aesthetically pleasing, they don’t even bother? This is the biggest change. I remember when themes weren’t containers and the only thing people cared about was if you had an about page. Now you don’t even have to have that if your theme is ‘pretty’.

Lastly, the stigma of female original characters has improved but now it almost feels swapped. I dunno, Gen just wants some female friends she can talk dicks to and do lesbihonest things with. Can’t seem to find any that want this. Maybe it’s me, Sarah, the mun.

I don’t know man, but this is how tumblr rp has changed for me over the years. I honestly miss the old days and the weaved friendships. Maybe I’ll make a post about that. Get some going again with some of Gens friends.
