OOC QUESTIONS ;

RULES: Answer the questions you’ve been given, then write your own and tag 11 people.

1. what is your favorite thing to write when it comes to rping?

i’d say it’s definitely fluff omg i feel like i write that most and it always makes me feel good. in the same vein i like writing silly stuff too! most of the time fluff and silliness go hand in hand in my responses. i’ve found i’ve been doing silly stuff a lot recently and i’m not sure if it’s just bc i don’t have much inspiration for longer responses so i default to short lighthearted stuff?? lmao that’s probably part of it but i also do really enjoy writing fun lighthearted scenarios.

2. what do you struggle with the most when it comes to rping?

ACTION i feel like i’m so terrible at writing action. which sucks bc i’m always wanting to write scary dangerous scenarios but i don’t think i do a good job at describing them. i do try to keep in mind though that it’s so easy to be hyper-critical of your own writing so what i think is poorly written might not come across that way to others.

3. do you remember the first character you ever rped ? if so, who were they?

haruka was my first muse so it’s him! but i guess if you want to be really technical then it was hisoka kurosaki. i “role played” him on gaia for a brief time and i’m using quotations bc i’m so sure he was the most ooc portrayal ever lfhgisj i was really only rping him for fun with my friend and it was solely for the sake of us wanting to indulge in some tsuzuki/hisoka nonsense.

but hey what came out of it was tsuzuki banging hisoka against a kitchen counter so that was fun.

4. if there was one thing you could change about your writing, what would it be and why?

i definitely wish i could be better at describing settings. i just really wish i could create the perfect setting/atmosphere that i envision in my head. but every time i try to do that i feel like i write way too much about the setting that it just doesn’t work well. it either comes across as too “wordy” or it doesn’t make much sense and i feel like i need to focus more on the dialogue instead.

i think in general i want to be able to have a clever, impactful way with words. i want to be able to use phrasing and dialogue that creates a feeling when you read it if that makes sense? i’ve seen some people who write such amazing one-liners that punch you in the face like “WOAH” and i wish i could do that lol

5. what personality type do you favor the most when it comes to characters you rp?

i’m such a sucker for tall rowdy tough girls who steal other girls’ hearts and soft gentle boys who are clumsy ass fools 👀👌 i think i just really love characters who defy gender norms? like i love lady characters who are more masculine and loud and outspoken. i love ladies who don’t take any shit and they aren’t “delicate fragile creatures” and they’re ready to fight everyone lmao i really love a lot of different personality types but in general i’ll either go for the “rough tough character who’s kind of an asshole but also lovable and loyal” or the “sweet kind character who wants to help everyone way too much and is the backbone of the group that keeps everyone else going”

6. what do you do to help yourself get over writers block?

generally listening to music seems to be a good way to get my inspiration back. i sort of just need to turn up the volume and really focus and get back into the mood of writing for a character. i also find that it helps to listen to music while i’m doing other things and play out a scenario in my head to “prepare” for a response. if i’m totally stuck on how to answer an ask then i’ll daydream and imagine a scene playing out in my head and maybe i’ll be like “oh that might be a good line to use!” or “i like that part i’ll write that down on the ask so i can incorporate it as i add the other details leading up to it”

7. who is an author you look up to the most and who inspires you when it comes to your writing? if you do not have a favorite author, is there another roleplayer who inspires you?

i’ve read like a total of 6 books in my lifetime but i feel obligated to say that n.eil g.aiman is my favorite author bc i absolutely love c.oraline and i started reading a bit of his book t.rigger w.arning and i barely got into it but i already fell in love. i don’t know if he’s really “inspiration” for me but i do admire the way he writes and how he’s able to paint such a clear picture of a scene which is exactly what i aspire to do.

honestly both @sorrowscars and @daturida inspire me and i’m so in love with their writing. they don’t use overly flowery language that’s almost impossible to understand and they don’t really focus on “romanticizing” their character themselves so much as focusing more on their character’s feelings which i find all the more impactful. also i just admire the hell out of how they keep their writing styles fairly simple and completely understandable but still so beautiful?? they write so incredibly without needing to use purple prose or any of that nonsense and i’m always blown away by their writing and just!!! maddie and equinox are huge writing inspiration for me and it’s such a joy to read their stuff ;u;

8. do you rp characters who are similar to you in personality or complete opposites?

this is a good question bc i feel like i relate to haruka in a lot of ways but also not at all. i relate to him in the sense of being distant and quiet and pretty detached emotionally. but i don’t relate to him at all in terms of intelligence and thoughts. on my multi-muse @wovencircle i’ve put some of my own personal traits in each of my ocs. sakuya is sort of the confident person i wish i could be, chiaki is the shy person i am, hiroto is the gentle person who wants to make everyone feel included, etc. overall i’d say i’m probably drawn to characters who are opposite to me in personality but they have personalities that i wish i had.

9. what is your biggest pet peeve rp-wise?

i guess the lack of lesbian muses?? i don’t even know if that counts as a pet peeve lmao but i’m always really disheartened by how lesbian muses almost seem non-existent. ofc it makes me so happy that there’s wlw muses in general but there really is a lack of lesbian muses. just muses who love women and only women. as a lesbian it’s always so difficult to find lesbian material esp since tumblr absolutely hates lesbians. don’t get me started on how they treat masculine/butch lesbians in particular like HOOO BOY

i don’t know i’m sure i’m being selfish and whiny but i would just truly, truly love to see more lesbian muses who are only attracted to women and being domestic with women and all that sappy stuff. i guess esp since 90% of the time when i find wlw muses they’re already in a relationship with a male muse or all their ships are only with male muses. i totally get that part of that is likely bc there’s just more male muses that exist in general in the rpc so it’s much easier to ship with them. but still i’m a whiner and i’m always hoping for the day when more lesbian muses suddenly sprout up out of nowhere like daisies in all their gay glory sifhgks

10. what is one of the best experiences you’ve had in the rpc?

my best experiences have always been with my love my light @kessaichi and one of them by far was souta and haruka confessing that they believe they’re soulmates. it wasn’t even in a huge emotional thread or anything and it only happened in an ask but it was still one of the happiest moments for me bc seeing them openly admit that they think they’re soulmates and getting so so happy was just the most heartwarming thing omfg /w\ honestly everything souta and haruka do is one of my best experiences lol but them just loving each other more than anything in the world is always beyond incredible and i love them so much.

11. what advice would you give to mutuals who are afraid or too shy to reach out to you?

please never aver be afraid to reach out!! i completely understand feeling way too shy and nervous to talk to someone since i used to feel that way all the time (sometimes i still get it a little) but you have to remember that no matter how popular someone might seem or how intimidated you might feel, they’re simply another person. they’re just like you and frankly more often than not, they’ll be more than happy to talk with you. we’re all a bunch of losers writing fictional characters online okay we’re just here to have a good time <3
