“thank you bamsara” we all say in unison ❤️
I think that one thing people fail to understand is that unsolicited literary criticism coming from an online stranger who is reading with no knowledge of what the authors intended goal is, is not going to be received the same as say: the authors beta reader or friends who know what the authors intended goal and has the sufficient knowledge and input to help the author reach that desired outcome.
"But I'm only trying to be helpful" How do I know you have the knowledge and literary skill for you to be able to actaully do that when we don't know each other and you are essentially a stranger to me? Are you applying this criticism based out of personal biased experience and desire to see the story or characterization be driven in another direction or tweaked, or do you know the author's intentions for the character? If the story is incomplete, are you basing your criticism of a character on the incomplete narration with only partial information available of them or are you building up a report until the story's completion? Did the author provide you with the information needed to make a fully informed criticism?
Have you discussed with the author what their plans are or are you assuming them based off the narration, especially if the narration is proven or implied to be unreliable or missing key points of the plot? Are you unbiased enough to help them reach their desired outcome for the characters and story regardless of your personal feelings towards the characters/antagonists and setting? Can you handle being told your specific input isn't wanted because you're a reader and/or have no written anything relating to their genre or topic? Do you understand and respect that the author's personal experiences might influence their writing and make it different than how you would have done it personally? Do you understand if an author only wants input from a specific demographic relating to their story?
If it's for fanfiction or other hobby media, are you holding a free hobby to a professional standard? Are you trying to give criticism because you feel like the author has produced 'subpar job performance' of their fic? Are you viewing their work as a personal intimate outlet or something that must conform with mass media? Are you applying rules and guidelines when the fic is shared for simple sharing sake? Is your criticism worded appropriately and focused on the parts where the author has requested input on rather than a general dismissal and or disapproval?
Have you put yourself in a place where you assumed you have the input needed for the story to evolve better, or have you asked what the author needs and what they're having trouble with? Can you handle having your criticism rejected if the author decides their story doesn't need the change and not take it as a personal offense against your character? Are you crossing that boundary because you think you are doing the author a favor? Are you trying to be helpful, or do you just want to be?
I think sometimes when people hear authors go 'please don't give me unsolicited writing advice or criticism' they automatically chalk it up to 'this author doesn't want ANY constructive feedback on their stuff at all' and not "i already have trusted individuals who will help me with my writing goals and- hey i don't know you like that, please stop acting so overly familiar with me'

Monday morning rewatch thoughts:
I am in my feels, very angry at this episode.
Annie had little to no story so skipping her this time around.
Ruby & Stan:
- Stanimal trying to get the girls to strike was great, and I want to see him (not Beth) run the strip club so bad. I hope that is the storyline they take us down.
- Ruby and Stan once again are king and queen of communication. These two are such an excellent example of healthy and happy marriage.
- Ruby biting a lime at Stan’s replacement gave me life in the montage
Beth & Dean:
That’s who Beth gets paired with this week. Dean. Not Rio. Because that’s how mad I am at her.
- Dean on the bike ride scene was once again far too long and wasted precious screen time. I forced myself not to fast forward through that scene. And you know what I noticed? Dean literally compares being sexually assaulted in prison to being someone’s wife on a honeymoon and being forced to have a baby put inside you. Because that is how Dean sees his fucking wife and marriage. Literal other convicts sexually assaulting someone in prison is like them thinking you’re their wife on a honey moon. Let that fucking sink in. And no, I don’t think that was intentional characterization by the writers. That is just existing as a metaphor these writers chose to use while trying to continue a Dean redemption arc.
- Dean leaving the hot tub when the other guys were shitting on Beth for being a buzz kill was an attempt at showing “growth”. But it’s not. It’s fucking table stakes. See above mention of non consensual sex being like a wife.
- How Beth does not realize this is another of dean’s idiotic schemes and poor money decisions is beyond me.
- I am relieved only in that Beth looked upset after getting Rio arrested this time. Good. Be upset. You had a choice. I’m so mad at Beth right now. I’m honestly starting to think she deserves Dean.
- Beth, honestly you think Rio would hurt your kids? Then why turn him in? You’re so scared of him then why risk it? Choosing him would have meant protecting your kids if you look at it factually, he threatened your family if you turned him in. Like she’s just dumb at this point? The writers have characterized her as dumb. Did she conveniently forget season 1 when he got out? I mean for real? Do these writers even watch previous seasons?
- Beth being with Dean literally undermines all feminism about the show. I have said that before and will say it again. Dean is a cancer on this show’s fun. Pun intended.
- Beth uses her sweet housewife voice on Nick. Literally everyone but Rio. And she literally flirts with Nick. You’re literally married Beth. Divorce Dean before you flirt with yet another person.
Rio & Nick:
- Baby Rio looked like Rio I thought. Him drawing a boxer was heart breaking. Because he literally wanted that his entire life. The last flashback scene made it seem like he wanted it for money. Nick tells him he doesn’t need boxing because they have a way to get money now, but Rio literally wanted boxing from childhood. And Nick ripped that away from him. Nick gave him no choice. Not because he wanted him to learn a lesson, because he wanted to use him. Rio is Nick’s designated fall guy.
- Rio = good egg, Nick bad, better be fucking FORESHADOWING FOR RIO GETTING SOMETHING NICE FINALLY THIS SEASON. At least the writers told us that pretty openly.
- The champ champ champ now all makes sense
- Who is Rio’s coach and can we please have a cheesy storyline where the coach is the only one to ever be on his side
- What is he having them print for? The girls point it out like why does he need all of that?
- Him telling Beth he does need her? No he doesn’t. That was actually a very sweet line. The way he looked at her, he’s in love with her guys. Like his face said yes I need you because I can’t seem to give you up. He doesn’t need her for money. It’s unfortunate they chose to dirty it up with him threatening her family.
- Rio grows from the ashes. He is the designated fall guy who rises from the ashes to be untouchable. Hence Phoenix I guess. Sure.
- I actually like Nick being in the show. First because I’m mad at Beth. But mostly because he is the only character introducing a new dynamic. He is the only thing that’s not repetitive. The only fresh storyline. And he’s already making her talk about Rio. But also, would it fucking kill either of them to say the man’s damn name? But also I like the actor and think he’s pleasant to look at on screen, sue me.
- Oh look, Nick, another man telling Beth Rio is too dangerous for her when she LITERALLY SHOT HIM. Do you all REALIZE SHE IS NOT A DELICATE FUCKING LAMB.
- I am no longer convinced that Rio had a plan all this time, not after rewatching the car scene. It seems like Rio was ready to kill her, mostly because he doesn’t know another choice, and Nick pointed out the obvious. Unless Rio is playing Nick. But truth be told, Rio threatening her family was ooc. And I’m holding on to the fact that he said family, aka Dean Annie Ruby who he has threatened before, and she took it to mean kids. I’m also holding on to the fact that Rio puts on masks. He puts on cold gang banger mask, he tries to manipulate and find new ways to incentivize beth. If you look at it that way, as him trying to get her to choose him rather than a plot of trying to get her to turn him in, it’s heartbreaking. He is so desperate to get her to pick him he literally pulled out his final option. His only remaining incentive that he hasn’t tried on her. EDIT: UNLESS Rio is playing Nick too. Because now? SS trusts Beth. And Nick trusts Rio. Nick thinks Rio and Beth aren’t on the same side. That Beth turned Rio in and Rio’s murderous over it. And Rio can use Beth to take Nick down without Nick seeing them coming. I hope they’re going for that. Because that would be genius. And would really be Rio 100 steps ahead, and would make the whole episode make sense in terms of his characterization.
- The arrest scene was heart breaking. The complete betrayal in his eyes was so sad. As others have stated, choosing to slam him on a table, while yes it is realistic to how he would likely be treated in the real world, was not necessary. He wasn’t resisting and was literally just standing there. Idk why the writers feel the need to be “realistic” in some moments and not in others. Poor choice. But what I did appreciate was him staring at Beth. Like she was forced to face him this time. With his face shoved against a table while she stands there being cuffed gently. She did that. She didn’t see him arrested on tv. She didn’t run away after shooting him. She had to stand there in his gaze looking at the betrayal on his face. Good. I’m sorry but she deserved it. She needs to face the damn consequences of her actions. Sorry I’m upset with her RN.
- At this point I believe Rio is in love with Beth. And it seems the writers are actually pushing metaphors and moments that make us sympathize with Rio and see Nick as the bad guy. I do think Beth will eventually get there/realize her feelings for Rio later this season but it might be too little too late. Time will tell.
Promo/Thoughts going forward:
- I like Phoebe and don’t mind her being around
- Rio and Beth on a bench again is good news to me. On the same bench.
- Idk if it’s a time jump but Rio comes in with a fresh hair cut, new wardrobe, and a tan looking like he just had a hot girl summer and is feeling great, over his ex, and is ready to fuck shit up.
- I want to see Rio remind Beth that she betrayed him personally. I want her to have to face that. It’s not just she betrayed him professionally. I want to see him reject her, I want to see her flirt or bat her lashes at him and him to be like nope sorry. Just for a minute though like just one episode lol. And only because I think it will make her realize her feelings for him.
- Beth and Rio v Nick please. Just give us something fucking new.
- These writers had an amazing path they could have gone down of the housewife partnering with a gang banger. It would have been fun, plenty of comedic gold available, and plenty of options for conflict between them and with external forces. And instead they chose this. I feel sometimes like this show would have been way better if it wasn’t on NBC. This story, this chemistry, belonged with writers who would realize its potential. That’s what I find disappointing.

"The good news is that no one’s going to do a lot of boo-hooing if you kill one. The bad news is, sometimes that’s not a solution."
(OOC: Once again, I have used one of your prompts to write a LONG and self-indulgent fan-fic. And it is dumb. Ever so dumb.)
Pyro gawked out at the small, pastel-colored creatures that surrounded them. They shouldn’t be moving, but they were.
“They’re obviously mechanical devices. Or else very small actors in suits. Either way, nothing of value will be lost,” Sebastian continued. “Maybe if we kill a few, the rest will get the message.”
“Will you be our friends?” The small, orange-furred bear asked again, stretching out its paws with a smile. If it was mechanical, it was a veryimpressive model, with a mouthful of teeth, and eyes wet and alive. It’s belly was white, with what appeared to be a picture of flowers dyed in.
“We can have lots and lots of fun in Care-a-lot! It’ll cheer you right up!” Another bear exclaimed, pink with a rainbow on it’s white belly.
“We’re not interested in your little amusement park or puppet show. Surely you can see we’re adults. Childless adults, with no intention of wasting money on whatever you’re selling. Run along now.”
“See? I told you they’d never be our friends!” said another bear. It folded blue-furred arms over a cloud symbol on its belly.
“Don’t give up, Grumpy!” exclaimed yet another bear. This one’s brown fur might almost look natural, if not for the red heart symbol on its torso. “They just need a little tenderness and caring!”
“It’s like a drug trip, ain’t it?” Pyro said to Shaw, not really bothering to whisper. A shocked gasp rippled went through the pastel animals.
“Drugs! Drugs are bad!” cried what appeared to be a purple racoon. “They are not a bright idea!”
“They’re dangerous!” trembled a pale green lamb.
“I don’t do drugs!” Pyro protested, not sure why he was bothering to justify himself to what might possibly be Chucky-esque demonically possessed toys. “Well, nothing hard, anyway,” he added in response to Sebastian’s snort.
“Pyro definitely has a drug problem. You should help him,” Sebastian said, smirking.
“Fuck off, Shaw!” Another gasp from the bears.
“That’s a no-no word!”
“He needs a friend!”
Pyro was losing track of what horrid little pastel nightmare the high-pitched voices were coming out of, but they were starting to advance on him.
“Oh no, he’s the one who needs a friend!” Pyro said, pointing at Sebastian rather desperately. “His heart is made of stone! No feelings at all!”
“No feelings?” said a green-furred bear. “Everyone’s got feelings, they just have to find them. Maybe we can turn his luck around!”
“Oh, for fuck’s sake, Allerdyce,” Sebastian groused as the bears turned towards him. “Must you? Look, we’re not buying whatever you’re selling with this…this….performance art. Why don’t you go get real jobs?”
Bright tinkling music from no discernable source began to play, and the bears pranced from side to side, circling around Sebastian.
“Everyone has feelings, I bet you have feelings, too!” The bears sang. Pyro realized, with a faint sense of nausea, that the rocks and trees of the Lisa Frank hellscape surrounding them were singing along, with happy, smiling faces. “Just look around, they’re not hard to find, they’re sitting right there inside yoooouuuu – “
The song ended suddenly as Sebastian punted one of the bears, who flew in an arc far across the horizon.
“Bedtime bear!”
“That was mean!”
“No, it was self-defense, against your assault on my ears, common sense, and basic decency.” Sebastian was brushing off his pant leg and shoe, as if it had been somehow dirtied.
“Gosh Mr. Sebastian, you really are mean,” said a pink elephant. “Is it because the only woman you ever loved died right in front of you? You must have lots and lots of sad feelings about that!”
“WHAT?!” Sebastian was suddenly standing up very straight, hands clenched into fists. Pyro felt a chill run though him. This wasn’t funny anymore.
“We can see inside your heart, Mr. Sebastian,” said the brown-furred bear. “We can see all the sadness in there. Just like we know Mr. St. John is afraid people will reject him, just like his parents and his granny did.”
“Okay, what the fuck?” Pyro snapped.
“There’s that no no word again!” said a turquoise bear with a shooting star symbol. “I wish you’d watch your language.”
“He just uses naughty words because he doesn’t know how to express his anger,” said a panda with a rose on it’s stomach. “We can help him learn to be more polite!”
“Mastermind! It must be Mastermind,” Sebastian said. “Even Emma wouldn’t stoop to such childish tricks. Do you hear me, Wyngarde? Your ridiculous little game is over, now drop the illusion!”
“We’re not trying to trick you, Mr. Sebastian, we just want to be friends,” said a lilac penguin. “Don’t be so cold. We know there’s a cozy place in your heart, you just have to find it.”
The penguin squealed as Sebastian kicked it, far aloft and away.
“Enough, Wyngarde! I’ll not put up with this nonsense!” Sebastian yelled.
Meanwhile, Pyro realized with a jolt that some of the animals were approaching him again. A blue rabbit thing zipped and clung to his leg.
“He needs a hug!” It chirped. “Hurry up and help him open his heart to friendship!”
“That’s right, Mr. St. John,” said a lion-like creature, holding its arms out as it advanced. “Be brave enough to let yourself love again. We promise we won’t abandon you like Dominic abandoned you in Iraq.”
“Get away from me!” Pyro yelled, prying at the rabbit, which clung to him with a surprisingly strong grip.
Meanwhile, Sebastian was continuing to kick and punch at the furry creatures, whose soft bodies seemed largely unaffected.
“All your ambition will never fill the hole inside you, Mr. Sebastian,” said a yellow pig before it was punched to the ground.
“Sharing is cari-augh!” Another purple bear went flying.
Meanwhile, a monkey had leaped onto Pyro’s back, and he fell to the ground as the lion grabbed at his other leg.
“We love you, Mr. St. John!”
“Let friendship in!”
“Let us hug you! Hugs!”
More furry bodies piled on.
Meanwhile, the creatures around Sebastian were regrouping.
“This is tough one, guys,” said the brown bear. “I think it’s time for the Care Bear Stare!” The creature lined up, and suddenly bright colored light shot out of the symbols on their stomachs, striking Sebastian squarely in the chest.
Sebastian stood for a moment, his stern anger melting away and bringing an alien softness to his face. Pyro couldn’t see any more, as the pile of furry bodies covered him. God, there were so many! Grasping and squeezing at him, shrieking, “Hugs! Hugs! Hugs!” There was fur in his mouth, he could barely breathe.
Over the din, he could faintly hear Sebastian.
“My God, you’re right. You’re so right! All my life, I’ve closed my heart to love. I’ve put ambition over friendship. I’ve hurt so many…..Harry, Lourdes, my own dear boy Shinobi. Thank you little creatures, for opening my heart to let the sunshine in….”
“See? Open your heart and feel your feelings,” said a tiny voice in Pyro’s ear. He turned his head to see a flower with a face, smiling up at him.
Pyro screamed, and a fireball burst outwards from him, searing hot, burning away the lavender grass and horribly anthropomorphic flowers. There was a chorus tiny screams in his ear that quickly died away. Pyro lay gasping on the ground for a moment, before shakily sitting up.
The soft pastel world was now an ashy grey landscape, with the happy tree faces frozen in a rictus of pain and horror. Pyro was surrounded by a pile of small skeletons.
Sebastian was still standing a few feet away, clothing in burnt tatters, no longer being struck by the bright light. For a moment a look of deep sadness washed across his face, like a damned soul plucked from Heaven. Then, his shoulders slumped, and he heaved a deep sigh of unmistakable relief.
“Oh, thank God,” he muttered. Sebastian turned and offered a hand up to Pyro. “I’ve never said this before, and I’ll probably never say it again, but – well done, Allerdyce.”
There was a sound, and both Pyro and Sebastian looked over to see a black square, a door opening in the landscape. A young woman popped out dressed oddly like an old-school film usher, red cap on her short brown hair. She rushed over and began pacing in quick circles around them, gesturing wildly.
“Omigoshomigoshomigosh!!!” She babbled. “It’s a disaster! Family friendly fun gratuitous violence angry parents angry calls everything ruined not G-rated traumatized kiddies we’ll lose our jobs our careers our livelihoods everything is ruined scandal scandal scandal – urk!” She stopped abruptly, clutching at her chest, and collapsed on the ground, eyes wide and starring.
“Uh…..is she dead?” Pyro asked, poking at her with his foot. She didn’t move. Her tongue lolled theatrically out of her mouth.
“Does it really matter?” Sebastian responded.
“Don’t worry, she does that all the time. Excitable little thing,” said another voice. Pyro looked up to see a tall, gray-haired man emerging from the door, his expression much calmer. “Up you go, Minor-Domo.” He pulled the girl upright, and pressed something at the back of her neck, and she abruptly popped back up again.
“But what are we gonna do Major Domo?! They went off-script, he’ll be so angry!” The girl said, clinging to the man.
“Oh, so that’s what this is all about,” Sebastian exclaimed with a look of exasperated disgust. “Mojo. We’re in the blasted Mojoverse. Major Domo, tell your master that we have no time for his silly games.”
“Not games, programming!” said the girl. “Ratings star power serious business!”
“Wait, so this is all a TV show?” Pyro said, gesturing around. He was faintly familiar with the Mojoverse, although only what he’d heard in passing. He wondered if Spiral was anywhere around, and if she’d help out an old team-mate. Not likely.
“You are part of Mojo’s action-packed super-hero extravaganza,” said Major Domo, never raising his voice above a snide monotone. “Rejoice performers, for his favor shines upon you. And bear in mind how quickly the light of fame can fade.”
“So this was all just special effects, then,” Pyro said, gesturing to landscape, and the horrid little piles of charred bones everywhere. “These were just robots, right?”
“Oh no, nothing so valuable as an android, thankfully,” said Major Domo. “These were just lab-grown living bio-constructs who are genetically programmed to love you unconditionally. We’ll make more.”
“Oh. So, uh…..they’re probably not capable of feeling pain, right?”
“On the contrary,” Major Domo responded, tapping at an I-pad-like device in one hand. “We doubled their pain receptor sensitivity to up their empathy levels. In fact, based on our sensor readings, they spent their last moments of existence experiencing 20% agony, 20% fear, and 60% sadness that they could no longer hug you as their little arms crumbled to ash. Hmm, interesting. We’ll take note of those numbers for the next batch.”
“No one cares,” said Sebastian. “We are not slaves to the Mojoverse, we’ve signed no contracts. I can respect your master’s business sense, but we won’t tolerate this disgraceful treatment.”
“Ah, you want to negotiate terms?” Major Domo raised an eyebrow. “Well, we need to reboot the whole series anyway, since this program is obviously a bust. But a bust with…surprisingly high ratings, I must say.”
“Yes, take us to Mojo. Let’s talk business,” Sebastian smirked. There was a flahs of light, and suddenly the four of them were in what appeared to be a central control base, with complicated panels of dials and lights, and massive TV monitors broadcasting video feed all over the walls.
Pyro was ready for the sight of Mojo, pale and slug-like, eyes permanently hooked open and mouth stretch in a horrible grin. He was not ready for the smell. He gagged and swallowed bile.
“Mojo, you’ve no legal right to keep us here,” Sebastian began. “I demand you return us to Earth at once.”
“No legal right?” The creature cackled. “Don’t flatter yourself! You’re just on a trial run, baby! Work for exposure, all eyes on you! Like and subscribe! See the views go up and up and up! If you can pull in the viewership, then we’ll talk about a contract! You should feel lucky for this chance for a big big break!”
“Enough nonsense! We’re not going to participate in this, and we’ll fight our way out, if need be.”
Sebastian raised a fist. Pyro did the same, letting a warm little ball of flame rest in his palm.
“You dare to raise a hand to Mojo, your magnificent benefactor of stardom riches attention?! I’ll broadcast your executions live!” Mojo screamed, jiggling with rage.
“More importantly, violence won’t rescue your friends, will it?” Major Domo put in. “They have also been granted a chance to participate in Mojo’s glorious programming, and you’ll never find them on your own. If you want to be reunited, I’d think about signing a contract. Maybe we can find an ensemble show for you.” He gestured at the monitors.
On one view screen, Maddie and Claudine were perched on a rooftop. Maddie swung a gore-covered chainsaw at the zombie hordes that climbed up towards them, while Claudine took expert, carefully aimed shots with a rifle.
“Come and get me, you demon bastards!” Maddie was yelling, red hair whipping wildly around her face. “You’re not dragging me back to hell! I own you all!”
“Weird. That one was supposed to be a sitcom,” Mojo muttered. He turned and pointed at a different screen. “That’sthe one that was supposed to be a horror flick!”
On the view screen, college-aged youths of varying degrees of hotness were gathered around a campfire, with one large, hulking figure in a hocky mask crouched among them. Next to him, Haven was strumming a guitar, leading the crowd in a folk song. The masked figure was clapping along, singing incomprensibly, with a machete forgotten at his feet.
Shinobi wandered on screen holding a pitcher, with his arm around a black robed figure in a white Scream mask.
“We made more magaritas!” A cheer went up from the campfire.
“None of you are playing the roles properly!” Mojo exclaimed. “Such prima donnas! Creative control is for the executives!”
“But, your Corpulent Excellency, the ratings are through the roof,” Major Domo pointed out, showing him the numbers. “People like the unexpected twists.”
On one monitor, Maddie was chain-sawing the head off a zombified Kramer. On the other, Haven was helping the bulky figure lift up his hockey mask to eat s’mores.
“Hmmm, yes….but where will we go when the shock value wears off? Everything must be fresh fresh fresh!” Mojo declared. “Time for another reboot!”
Another flash of light, and suddenly Madelyn, Claudine, Shinobi and Haven winked into existence in the control room.
“This time, we’ll split them up! That’ll make them behave! Double the programs double the ratings double the fun!” Mojo declared. He began pointing at each of them in turn.
“You, a gothic soap opera! You’re the ravishing red-head with a mysterious past!”
“You, Vampire Diaries!” This to Claudine.
“You, one of those Super-Sentai giant robot shows.” He pointed at Shinobi.
“That’s racist,” Shinobi protested.
“Yeah, it really is,” Pyro agreed.
“You, wonders of the Outback! Aussie bush explorer!” Mojo declared, gesturing at Pyro.
“Ugh, not that Steve Irwin Crocodile Dundee bullshit!” Pyro snapped. Although admittedly spending time with animals didn’t sound bad, Mojo would turn it into a twisted nightmare. “At least let me be on the Gothic soap opera.”
“You, Baywatch!” Mojo pointed at Sebastian without skipping a beat. “Let’s see you rip that shirt off and show those rippling muscles!”
“I’ll not save a single person,” Sebastian declared. “I’ll stand on the beach and watch them drown.”
“And you – Bollywood! Singing and dancing and saris, oh my!” Mojo pointed at Haven.
“That’s racist!” Shinobi and Pyro both exclaimed at once.
“None of us are going to do any of that!” Madelyn said. She lifted the chainsaw. “Have you noticed you’re outnumbered? Your little robots can’t save you.”
Pyro noticed that Major Domo had discreetly stepped far back, with Minor Domo hiding behind him.
“Yes, Mojo, you’ve lost all your leverage by reuniting us,” Sebastian agreed. “Now I suggest you let us go or face the consequences. You may have noticed, Allderyce here is especially violent and unhinged.”
Pyro didn’t bother feeling insulted, instead he gave his nastiest grin and manifested a flaming skeleton to loom over Mojo. It honestly would feel good to barbeque that slimy creature, but maybe he’d let Maddie get a few hits in first.”
“Wait wait wait my lovelies!” Mojo screamed. “What about transport? You’re in the Mojoverse, baby, there’s no escape! No escape except a contract! Kill me and you’ll be stuck here forever. Sign a contract and I’ll very generously let you go after a mere fifty years service!”
The group paused to look at each other.
“You know, we could probably just steal a spaceship,” Pyro said.
“Yes, but we’re in a completely different dimension,” Maddie put in.
“That’s not an insurmountable problem,” Claudine said. “I’m sure I can make modifications to whatever transport we find.”
“Maybe we could just talk this over?” Haven suggested.
“Enough!” Sebastian’s voice cut across the conversation. “I will not spend another second on this ridiculous circus of a world. We are not going to sign any contracts, Mojo. You will send us back to Earth immediately.”
“Stars don’t make demands, lovelies!” Mojo said. “Who do you think you are, directors? Producers? Oh no I think not!”
“I think so,” Sebastian said. “Or we’ll unleash one of the most powerful forces of the American legal system. Copyright law.”
“Copyright?” Mojo laughed. “There’s no copyright in the Mojoverse, baby!”
“I think you underestimate the reach of certain companies. Disney, for example, would have a great deal to say about that ‘Shatterstar vs. the Forces of Evil’ cartoon you’re running.” Sebastian pointed at a monitor.
“You can’t intimidate me, darlings! I’m Mojo! I rule this world and the airwaves! I am your broadcast god!”
“And yet, you operate in a capitalistic world of contracts and bureaucracy,” Sebastian continued, undeterred. “The contracts wouldn’t exist if there wasn’t some legal system in this place. And all of your broadcast programming could be affected. I believe those horrid little pastel monsters you placed me with belong to American Greetings. Jason Vorhees, New Line Cinema. Seinfeld, NBC. All I have to do is make a few calls,” Sebastian held up his cell phone. “And this place will be swarming with lawyers.”
“Don’t you dare threaten me with lawyers!” Mojo quivered, but with anger or fear? It was hard to tell.
“Imagine all your programs shut down by a cease and desist! No more Hellfire’s Kitchen, no more Real Housewives of Attilan, no more Summers Brothers Comedy Hour. I have access to the finest legal team in the world, Mojo, and I will unleash their full power upon you to avenge this humiliation you’ve inflicted upon me and my son. I will shut down your entire programming line-up of derivative, brainless pablum.”
“They’re….they’re homages! Parodies! Fair use!” Mojo exclaimed. He glanced over at Major Domo, who shrugged.
“Maybe best to let them go, sir. Sounds like this batch of stars is more trouble than they’re worth. Besides,” he leaned in close enough that Pyro barely caught the last words. “We’ve got their genetic material There’s always cloning.”
“Ugh, fine!” Mojo yelled, throwing his arms up. “Consider yourselves blackballed, you ungrateful divas! You’ll never work in this dimension again!”
There was another flash of light, and suddenly the entire group found themselves back aboard the Marauder, sprawled on the deck.
Everyone gradually picked themselves up. Claudine and Madelyn were covered in blood, Maddie somehow still clutching the chainsaw like a grotesque souvenir. Shinobi was holding a toasted marshmallow on a stick, but quickly popped it into his mouth, while Haven pulled leaves from her long hair. Pyro realized, looking down at himself, that his uniform was covered in little scorched bits of pastel fur.
“Well,” said Sebastian in a brisk tone. “Let’s never speak of this again.”

I think the death thing was about Moriarty. There is an excellent video essay I will try and find about how Sherlock trivialised death.
They never fully explained how Sherlock survived.
They teased Moriarty being alive even as far as the s4 closing credits.
They killed Mary and then had her be present in the other two episodes both as a ghost and through video messages.
A bunch of people believed Mary wasn't really dead despite the fact we saw her die and it wasn't just people who were unsatisfied with her ending or the circumstances of her death, they just thought they wouldn't commit to killing her off.
They hinted in TAB that Moriarty's body was never recovered and then the writers said they believed Doyle was always going to bring back Holmes because his body was never recovered.
People are still debating which TAB scenes in the modern day were real and if any were.
The Final Problem broke the show's own rules.
Mycroft is willing to swordfight a clown and shoot him with a gun hidden in his umbrella not even questioning why there is a goddamn clown in his house. Also that image of grinning Fisherman Mycroft.
Mycroft sees a grenade that he knows is motion-activated and only warns the others once they have already moved. And that is coming from me, the number one person defending the way Mycroft was written in TFP from people saying he was OOC.
Sherlock and John hurl themselves out of a second story window and "boop and they're fine".
Mycroft somehow got himself and Mrs Hudson out of the house in a couple seconds, after having to get up a flight of stairs and they are both uninjured. They even lampshade this by having Sir Edwin lie about Mycroft being in critical condition.
The skull somehow survives the explosion despite the fact that bones disintegrate when burned.
Eurus put a dog bowl with the name Redbeard in the room when she had no idea that Sherlock remembered Victor as a dog.
There are bleeding paintings.
John's feet are chained to the well but he gets out using a rope.
Eurus shoots John clearly using a real gun but they changed it to a tranquilizer when there was no reason for her to shoot him in the first place other than for a cliffhanger.
And then there is the fact the show closes by saying who Sherlock and John really are doesn't matter after having an entire good-to-great-man arc for Sherlock.
Etc etc.
The Final Problem was so unbelievable people thought it was made as a joke. It didn't help that it was leaked a day early via a Russian website, that the writers advertised the leak instead of trying to take it down when people's entire blogs were taken down for leaking a promo image too early or messaging HLV spoilers. People were laughing about how bad TFP was when they believed it was a troll episode.
One can like TFP. One can believe it was a good finale and a great episode. Moffat and Gatiss explained they meant the episode to be full of transgressions. And it's their show. They can do what they like. But as a storyteller, you have a responsibility to your audience.
You can't start off as a detective story with some British humor thrown in and end up with Saw Shutter Island The Ring Silence of The Lambs Hanging Garridebs Secret Sister.
You can and they obviously have, but Eurus was a retcon. They only thought of her in S3. The Holmes parents were also only S3. Originally they were going to have the Holmes family torn apart because Sherlock deduced his father was having an affair.
Redbeard was originally a dog and the Holmes brothers' phone call was about how their parents told Sherlock the dog went to live on a farm and Mycroft teased him for that.
Hell, there is a video out there of Steven Moffat claiming if you focus on Sherlock's backstop you are doing something wrong.
For some context, I got one of my first expressions from the Sherlock Is Garbage video by HBomb. (Not the first one ever, I watched Elementary first with no knowledge of ACD, then I saw an out-of-context clip for that Moriarty/Sherlock scene). So I went into this show expecting to like it, but think it's not that clever. And I was impressed.
There were some hints and subtext I noticed that no one else did. There is one scene I read completely differently than anyone else.
I love this show. It made me. It saved me. I was not the same person from back before I watched it.
It helped me accept a very dark part of myself that I spent years suppressing and realizing my increasing anxiety was not going to be better until I learned to love all of me. Only then could I truly be free.
And I got sidetracked again, sorry. This is all my opinion.
i have like. a lot to say about why sherlock failed as t.v. show bc i think as a writer it’s a really crucial study in how to ruin a good premise/beginning and tbh if not to just … study how not to handle characters it’s pretty fascinating bc there are some truths which i feel it’s necessary to point out:
nobody likes to feel cheated at the end of the story.
death only matters if it’s forever and it’s rare.
on that note, there should be consequences for actions.
trust your characters to be interesting without unnecessary drama.
throwing plot at your characters feels less real than having their desires make them walk fully into the glass door of plot
if you’re going to make one of your characters “a sociopath” or disabled with ptsd or any other mental or physical illness, do extensive research into the personal experiences of those who suffer it and handle it with gravitas; don’t just vanish a character’s disability because it’s inconvenient to have them use a cane etc.
when there’s a good plot twist with nice foreshadowing, the audience loves it. when there’s just always plot twists, the author loves plot twists more than his own story.
surprise isn’t always a good thing.
“it was all a dream/joke/mirage/spell” is literally the weakest form of writing yourself out of a corner and is incredibly annoying to read/watch
queerbaiting is ugly
ride rollercoasters, not a broken elevator. have some stretches between plunges. your story can speed ahead and stay interesting without diving into hell again. 
having a Big Bad Evil doesn’t make the story interesting; in fact having “monster of the week” problems feels more authentic and enjoyable 
write your women like people and let them have plots that have nothing to do with men.
just because you’re good doesn’t mean that you are above critique or getting better. you should always be challenging yourself to outdo your previous self, not resting on the laurels of a previously effective moment
characters don’t have to be overpowered to be interesting 
if a character’s emotions all exist on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the most emotion that an emotion can be (the saddest/angriest/broodiest), do not let that character hit a 10 until you are ready to be done with them forever 
when you are done with them forever, be done

bloodsport
hello!
My name is Emmy! i'm going to make this fairly short (or at least try to haaA). I am looking for 1-2 new rp partners!
I am currently in uni full time and work 2 part time jobs so please understand this is a hobby for me. My posting speed ranges from once every few days to once every couple of weeks. I am almost always available ooc though, esp through google hangouts.
I am in my early twenties and prefer my partners to be 20+. I love detailed plots and stories; crafting good posts is a huge part of why I love rping. I match/mirror my partner's length and put a high amount of importance on compatibility as writers. Good grammar, punctuation, spelling is A Thing for me. I tend to switch capitalization OOC but as an English minor, when it comes down to posting, I put 110% in.
If you want a partner that's invested in writing together and all the joy that brings, I'm your person! 
what do I write?
I write a few fandoms, but not many. If I’ve got plots listed, they’re the ideas I have, but I’m totally open to yours as well. Stars denote how much I'm craving them. I'll also list the canon characters I write after I list the fandom!
Fallout: New Vegas & 4: Arcade Gannon & Elder Maxson, Paladin Danse - also got a ton of ocs for both ***plot for fallout 4 a: We explore the cut ending to the Brotherhood of Steel questline, wherein the Sole Survivor and Paladin Danse refuse Maxson’s final orders for Danse, and fight for Danse to become the leader of the Brotherhood of Steel. Would likely require you playing Maxson or Danse and me playing the other, with one of us playing the Sole Survivor.  ***plot for fallout 4 b: Your/my oc is a double agent for the Railroad, with the mission to infiltrate the Brotherhood of Steel and send intelligence back to the agents back at home base. Your/my oc becomes unexpectedly attached to elder Maxson through work and circumstance. Eventually, your/my oc must make a choice of where their allegiance lies: within the arms of Arthur or with the faction they are fighting for. (potentially, we could double and do plot a & b at the same time.) 
Mafia 2: Vito Scaletta  *plot for mafia 2: we explore the dynamics of a relationship between Vito and your oc. Your oc could be in a position of great risk- think outside of the mafia, possibly a police officer, prostitute. Some position where power dynamics could be played with. If the pairing is m/m we could also deal with the themes of internalized homophobia and coming to terms with one’s identity. 
Bioshock 1, 2 & Infinite: Brigid Tenbenbaum, Andrew Ryan, Frank Fontaine & Eleanor Lamb, Sofia Lamb & Booker Dewitt 
**Marvel Cinematic Universe: Tony Stark, Steve Rogers - get @ me with your Stony plots (do people still write that??)
***greater Marvel Universe: Logan Howlett, Carol Danvers, Jean Grey  ****random plot: We do a crossover and we ship Sharon Carter/Carol Danvers. I just. Uuugh I have a lot of feelings about them and I have hella muse for these babes. Lemme know if you’re down to give this a shot I will love you forever no word of a lie. 
But honestly where my heart lies is within oc rp. Here are a few plots i have of mine, stars denote how much i’m craving them:
****(m/m) power & politics: My oc is a prestigious state senator, who lives a double life. He is currently in the closet with no intent on leaving it anytime soon. However, a certain someone falls into his life, making him question what he thought he knew for certain. Your oc breaks down the walls my oc has put up and changes him into a softer, better man. However, with an upcoming presidential campaign on the horizon for my oc, the limits of the secret relationship will be pushed and pulled beyond what both parties have ‘signed up for.‘
****(m/m) the guardian: Your oc is a newcomer to the nhl but is quickly making waves- think Connor McDavid style. He’s young and impressive, but mostly, impressionable. He starts to get battered around by both his teammates and opposing teams. After a few hard hits and fowl play within the game that have cost your oc bench and recovery time, the team’s coach calls in reinforcements to boost the team’s morale and serve as a protector to your oc. My oc is a player who hasn’t got the talent part but has got a huge heart. Not to mention… huge hands. Good for makin’ fists. Good for fightin’.  My oc protects your oc during the games, coming to your oc’s aid, picking fights for your oc and protecting him on the ice. As such, the two players grow attached to one another.. perhaps too attached for the captain to be comfortable with. Possibilities for a love triangle and other complications, for sure
***(m/m) too good to be true: Our ocs start out in the whl, both as promising wingers. Their good chemistry is vital to bringing back their team’s success. However, one of our ocs starts to get too attached to the other, and when an nhl draft separates them, one of our ocs is all too eager to cut contact and try to forget. The two excel in their nhl careers without one another, and end up on nhl teams with a history of deep rivalry. Occasionally, the gloves hit the ice, fueled by the tension of unresolved feelings and the pressure of the respective teams to keep up the rivalry. The two are reunited when they are both chosen to play nationally for the same team, and are forced to reconcile what they have both buried so deeply within them. 
***(m/m) big money: These two ocs play for rival teams in the nhl. While their teams have a history of tension, our two ocs take it to the next level. Audiences are more excited to watch these two fight than they are to watch the game itself. There’s a market in the violence between these two, and a reputation to maintain on both ends. If the public found out that these two were secretly seeing one another, their careers would both be over. 
**** (m/m) sugar daddy: My oc is a law student studying in your oc’s country in order to get their degree abroad. They’re from eastern Europe and uh. broke af. They settle into an arrangement with your oc where your oc agrees to ~pay him for his company~ after they meet while my oc does camming online to make ends meet. We could take it anywhere- your oc could whisk mine off his feet and 'save’ him or. Be toxic & trashy and make my oc’s life hell.
Okay and, here are just some general prompts that could be intertwined with the plots above, or could be something we use to springboard into our own rp:
my oc has serious commitment issues. they often go around ‘ghosting’ individuals after 4-5 dates, with little to no explanation of why. your oc falls for mine, and is the first to confront my oc about their shitty habits. 
your oc and my oc were best friends, but they lost touch over a stupid fight they had when they were preteens. they can’t believe that they’re seeing one another in a bar, halfway across the world from where they met. 
your oc and my oc were flames. my oc proposed to yours, but yours turned them down. they never spoke again… until they were sharing a crammed elevator, with my oc being completely intoxicated, and still confessing their feelings for your oc. 
your oc is a huge fan of my oc’s nhl career/political career. your oc wins a contest to meet and have dinner with my oc. while my oc expects a boring night out, my oc is completely surprised by how well they hit it off with your oc. 
my oc, your first oc and your second oc all grew up together. your first oc has always been pining for my oc’s attention, and is thrilled when my oc and your first oc finally get together. they develop a long term relationship, but my oc knows it would devastate your first oc if they told them that they have been seeing your second oc for most of the relationship. 
I recognize that a lot of these focus on the nhl/the lives of professional hockey players- please don’t be worried about hockey knowledge/nhl jargon/whatever else goes through your head! I’m more interested in sport as a realm for drama than i am for following the rulebook and being 100% accurate to life when it comes to hockey. There’s a lot i don’t know and am still needing to learn, myself! If you know a lot, great!! If you don’t, let’s figure things out together! as for general oc ideas, here’s a list:
professor x student
veteran x civillian
cop x criminal 
** OC superheroes (I have a lot of muse for this one!)
street racing, fast-and-furious-esque setting
rival gangs 
** nhl/hockey based (lol obviously)
small town canadiana or americana 
fun, fluffy romance based modern settings
historical setting- preferably, the second world war/1940s-1960s 
light worldbuilding - new to this but wanting to learn
honestly whatever you can pitch to me that isn’t high fantasy :)
I can expand on and work with any of these ideas, these are just like, topics. Whatever i do with you, I promise it’ll be fleshed out, with tons of opportunity for drama. 
how do we get started?
pleaaase send me an email at [email protected] ! I will get back to you asap, but please give me some of your thoughts/an idea of why/what you'd like to write with me!
I am also almost always around on google hangouts.
We can sort out the brass tacks there and figure out if we're a good match. :) 
Thanks for your time and I hope I hear from you!

SHAME SHAME SHAME
everybody's people watchin' everybody’s punch clockin’
hey how are ya my name is emmy and i’m here to search for a new rp partner. a bit about me, i’m 22, canadian, work two part time jobs and attend uni full time and i go by she/her pronouns. i reside in the mountain timezone and i am thrilled to hopefully start writing with you. 
why should you write with me? because i promise that if i pick up an rp with you i’m gonna put 100 and 10 percent of my effort into our story. i’m looking for a long term gig, someone who i can really weave a plot with, someone who digs the cut of my jib. i want us to be able to sob over our characters together late into the night. i want us to exchange songs, playlists, posts found on the internet, aesthetic boards, whatever reminds us of our characters/our plot.
i will probably spam you with pictures of my character’s playby and i want to see mad pics of yours, too. i want us to go through our character’s struggles together as well as be able to cheer together when our characters get a hold on their situation and come up on top. i want us to inspire one another with our writing. it’s gonna be great. you & me honey. 
right now I'm looking for 1-2 new rp partners who are interested in something long-term and fully fleshed out. think 'mains'. 
gee, that sounds nice! i’m inclined to agree! but a few things you should know before you go any further: i write anywhere between full lit to lit + to novella style, so expect posts of at least 4 - 6 paragraphs baseline. sometimes i crank out 10. or just 5. depends entirely on what’s going on. i write according to situation, with a great amount of detail spent on what my character is thinking/feeling in response to yours. the replies you get will be fully fleshed out & enthralling. i am a stickler for grammar and spelling, though nobody’s perfect, i do occasionally have my slipups. all lowercase text is strictly kept to ooc communication. i can be sporadic with capitalization ooc but still keep good spelling. i will never pressure you into posting or writing ridiculous amounts just to match my post. i want you to have fun too! if i’ve had a bit too much to drink or am about to hit the hay, i’ll wait to post until i can give my post my full attention. usually i’ll be able to post at least once every week, sometimes multiple times a week depending on work & schoolwork. i'm available for ooc chat almost all the time. i also totally understand life happens and sometimes we just need a breather. ♥ i have bipolar depression, and sometimes my depression kicks my ass, but i’ll let you know when that happens.
oh goodness, what else? i write predominantly m/m pairings but i am open to m/f and f/f as well. i do not write high fantasy settings, sorry doll. my interests mostly align with modern day, slice of life kinda stuff, aside from the fandoms i do have. i don’t have many limits besides excessive gore, scat, mpreg, and writing smut for sake of smut. i love my romance just like anyone else does, but it’s got to have plot. our characters have to have chemistry or else i get bored. i haven’t doubled before but i think i’d be down for it with the right plot. usually i prefer that we play one character each, or we play multiple characters within a plot, but not usually more than one plot at the same time. but!!! i am totally willing to try new things!! just be patient with me as i learn m'kay? i have had several threads going at once with one partner which can be super fun. also most of my characters are pretty kinky but like, i prefer that we talk about kinks and limits one on one as opposed to airing out my character’s laundry. also- i wanna be your friend ooc. let’s chat. i find it’s so much easier to have muse and post if i enjoy the virtual company of the people i’m writing with.
ok but what do you write? 
what *don’t* i write? kidding. here’s a bit of fandom for ya. if i’ve got plots listed, they’re the ideas i have, but i’m totally open to yours as well. stars denote how much i’m craving them. i’ll list the canon characters i write after i list the fandom: 
mafia 2: vito scaletta  ***plot for mafia 2 a: we explore the dynamics of a relationship between vito and your oc. your oc could be in a position of great risk- think outside of the mafia, possibly a police officer, prostitute. some position where power dynamics could be played with. if the pairing is m/m we also deal with the themes of internalized homophobia and coming to terms with one’s identity. 
*bioshock 1, 2 & infinite: brigid tenbenbaum, andrew ryan, frank frontaine & eleanor lamb, sofia lamb & booker dewitt 
**marvel cinematic universe: tony stark, steve rogers
***greater marvel universe: logan howlett, carol danvers  ****random plot: we do a crossover and we ship sharon carter/carol danvers. i just. uuugh i have a lot of feelings about them and i have hella muse for these babes. lemme know if you’re down to give this a shot i will love you forever no word of a lie.

darker themes such as addiction, abuse, etc - i find it cathartic sometimes to write about violent material buuuut this has to be really fleshed out between us
historical setting- preferably, the second world war/1940s-1960s 
light worldbuilding - new to this but wanting to learn
honestly whatever you can pitch to me that isn’t high fantasy :)
i can expand on and work with any of these ideas, these are just like, topics. whatever i do with you, i promise it’ll be fleshed out, with tons of opportunity for drama. 
hell yeah let’s do this pal 
if any, and i mean any, of this piqued your fancy, pleaaaase shoot me an email at 
i will respond! but please send me something thoughtful! i’d like to hear what part of my ad that you’re interested in/why you chose to contact me. i am most wanting to rp over email and talk over google hangouts but i can be open to skype, too.  i sure look forward to hearing from you!   ♥

PEOPLE WATCHIN'
shame, shame, shame
hey how are ya my name is emmy and i’m here to search for a new rp partner. a bit about me, i’m 21, canadian, in university, and i go by she/her pronouns. i reside in the mountain timezone and i am thrilled to hopefully start writing with you. i'm hoping to find a new partner or two to write with as my semester winds down!
why should you write with me? because i promise that if i pick up an rp with you i’m gonna put 100 and 10 percent of my effort into our story. i’m looking for a long term gig, someone who i can really weave a plot with, someone who digs the cut of my jib. i want us to be able to sob over our characters together late into the night. i want us to exchange songs, playlists, posts found on the internet, aesthetic boards, whatever reminds us of our characters/our plot. i will probably spam you with pictures of my character’s playby and i want to see mad pics of yours, too. i want us to go through our character’s struggles together as well as be able to cheer together when our characters get ahold of their sitch and come up on top. i want us to inspire one another with our writing. it’s gonna be great. you & me honey. 
gee, that sounds nice! i’m inclined to agree with ya! but a few things you should know before you go any further: i write anywhere between full lit to lit + to novella style, so expect posts of at least 4 - 6 paragraphs baseline. sometimes i crank out 10. or just 5. depends entirely on what’s going on. i write according to situation, with a great amount of detail spent on what my character is thinking/feeling in response to yours. the replies you get will be fully fleshed out & enthralling. i am a stickler for grammar and spelling, though nobody’s perfect, i do occasionally have my slipups. all lowercase text is strictly kept to ooc communication. i will never pressure you into posting or writing ridiculous amounts just to match my post. i want you to have fun too, ya hear? if i’ve had a bit too much to drink or am about to hit the hay, i’ll wait to post until i can give my post my full attention. usually i’ll be able to post at least once a day, sometimes multiple times a day if we’re in the same or a similar time zone. final exams and papers are coming up for me though so i'll be a little slow posting-wise, but still around ooc, until dec 15. i also totally understand life happens and sometimes we just need a breather. ♥ i have bipolar depression, and sometimes my depression kicks my ass, but i’ll let you know when that happens.
oh goodness, what else? i write predominantly m/m pairings but i am open to m/f and f/f as well. right now i am craving m/f with me playing the f buuut i'm also down for m/m as well. i tend to write pretty high-strung alpha males as characters, so i'm wanting to play a role other than that to challenge myself and try my hand at a different kind of character. i do not write high fantasy settings, sorry doll. my interests mostly align with modern day, slice of life kinda stuff, aside from the fandoms i do have. i don’t have many limits besides excessive gore, scat, mpreg, and writing smut for sake of smut. i love my romance just like anyone else does, but it’s got to have plot. our characters have to have chemistry or else i get bored. i haven’t doubled before but i think i’d be down for it with the right plot. usually i prefer that we play one character each, or we play multiple characters within a plot, but not usually more than one plot at the same time. but!!! i am totally willing to try new things!! just be patient with me as i learn m'kay? also most of my characters are pretty kinky but like, i prefer that we talk about kinks and limits one on one as opposed to airing out my character’s laundry. also- i wanna be your friend ooc. let’s chat. i find it’s so much easier to have muse and post if i enjoy the virtual company of the people i’m writing with.
ok but what do you write? 
what *don’t* i write? kidding. here’s a bit of fandom for ya. if i’ve got plots listed, they’re the ideas i have, but i’m totally open to yours as well. stars denote how much i’m craving them. i’ll list the canon characters i write after i list the fandom: 
fallout: new vegas & 4: arcade gannon & elder maxson, paladin danse - also got a ton of ocs for both *plot for fallout 4 a: we explore the cut ending to the brotherhood of steel questline, wherein the sole survivor and paladin danse refuse maxson’s final orders for danse, and fight for danse to become the leader of the brotherhood of steel. would likely require you playing maxon or danse and me playing the other, with one of us playing the sole survivor.  *plot for fallout 4 b: your/my oc is a double agent for the railroad, with the mission to infiltrate the brotherhood of steel and send intelligence back to the agents back at home base. your/my oc becomes unexpectedly attached to elder maxson through work and circumstance. eventually, your/my oc must make a choice of where their allegiance lies: within the arms of arthur or with the faction they are fighting for. (potentially, we could double and do plot a & b at the same time.) 
mafia 2: vito scaletta  ***plot for mafia 2 a: we explore the dynamics of a relationship between vito and your oc. your oc could be in a position of great risk- think outside of the mafia, possibly a police officer, prostitute. some position where power dynamics could be played with. if the pairing is m/m we also deal with the themes of internalized homophobia and coming to terms with one’s identity. 
*bioshock 1, 2 & infinite: brigid tenbenbaum, andrew ryan, frank frontaine & eleanor lamb, sofia lamb & booker dewitt 
**marvel cinematic universe: tony stark, steve rogers
**greater marvel universe: logan howlett, carol danvers  ***random plot: we do a crossover and we ship sharon carter/carol danvers. i just. uuugh i have a lot of feelings about them and i have hella muse for these babes. lemme know if you’re down to give this a shot i will love you forever no word of a lie. 
but honestly where my heart lies is within oc rp. here are a few plots i have of mine, stars denote how much i’m craving them:
****(m/m) power & politics: my oc is a prestigious state senator, who lives a double life. he is currently in the closet with no intent on leaving it anytime soon. however, a certain someone falls into his life, making him question what he thought he knew for certain. your oc breaks down the walls my oc has put up and changes him into a softer, better man. however, with an upcoming presidential campaign on the horizon for my oc, the limits of the secret relationship will be pushed and pulled beyond what both parties have ‘signed up for.‘ 
***(m/m) too good to be true: our ocs start out in the whl, both as promising wingers. their good chemistry is vital to bringing back their team’s success. however, one of our ocs starts to get too attached to the other, and when an nhl draft separates them, one of our ocs is all too eager to cut contact and try to forget. the two excel in their nhl careers without one another, and end up on nhl teams with a history of deep rivalry. occasionally, the gloves hit the ice, fueled by the tension of unresolved feelings and the pressure of the respective teams to keep up the rivalry. the two are reunited when they are both chosen to play nationally for the same team, and are forced to reconcile what they have both buried so deeply within them. 
***(m/m) big money: these two ocs play for rival teams in the nhl. while their teams have a history of tension, our two ocs take it to the next level. audiences are more excited to watch these two fight than they are to watch the game itself. there’s a market in the violence between these two, and a reputation to maintain on both ends. if the public found out that these two were secretly seeing one another, their careers would both be over. 
okay and, here are just some general prompts that could be intertwined with the plots above, or could be something we use to springboard into our own rp:
my oc has serious commitment issues. they often go around ‘ghosting’ individuals after 4-5 dates, with little to no explanation of why. your oc falls for mine, and is the first to confront my oc about their shitty habits. 
your oc and my oc were best friends, but they lost touch over a stupid fight they had when they were preteens. they can’t believe that they’re seeing one another in a bar, halfway across the world from where they met. 
your oc and my oc were flames. my oc proposed to yours, but yours turned them down. they never spoke again… until they were sharing a crammed elevator, with my oc being completely drunk, and still confessing their feelings for your oc. 
your oc is a huge fan of my oc’s nhl career/political career. your oc wins a contest to meet and have dinner with my oc. while my oc expects a boring night out, my oc is completely surprised by how well they hit it off with your oc. 
my oc, your first oc and your second oc all grew up together. your first oc has always been pining for my oc’s attention, and is thrilled when my oc and your first oc finally get together. they develop a long term relationship, but my oc knows it would devastate your first oc if they told them that they have been seeing your second oc for most of the relationship. 
i recognize that a lot of these focus on the nhl/the lives of professional hockey players- please don’t be worried about hockey knowledge/nhl jargon/whatever else goes through your head! i’m more interested in sport as a realm for drama than i am for following the rulebook and being 100% accurate to life when it comes to hockey. there’s a lot i don’t know and am still needing to learn, myself! as for general oc ideas, here’s a list:
professor x student
veteran x civillian
cop x criminal 
psychiatrist x patient
street racing, fast-and-furious-esque setting
rival gangs 
nhl/hockey based (lol obviously)
**small town canadiana or americana 
**something themed around equestrian life, like rodeo or english riding sports
fun, fluffy romance based modern settings
darker themes such as addiction, abuse, etc
*historical setting- preferably, the second world war/1940s-1960s, or like, 1980s old time hockey small town kinda shit 
honestly whatever you can pitch me that isn’t high fantasy ☺
i can honestly expand on and work with any of these ideas, these are just like, topics. whatever i do with you, i promise it’ll be fleshed out, with tons of opportunity for drama. 
hell yeah let’s do this pal 
if any, and i mean any, of this piqued your fancy, pleaaaase shoot me an email at 
i will respond! but please send me something thoughtful! i’d like to hear what part of my ad that you’re interested in/why you chose to contact me. i am most wanting to rp over email and talk over google hangouts but i can be open to skype, too.  i sure look forward to hearing from you!  ✌ & ♥ emmy

EVERYBODY'S PEOPLE WATCHIN'
Tumblr media
everybody’s punch clockin’
hey how are ya my name is emmy and i’m here to search for a new rp partner. a bit about me, i’m 21, canadian, in uni, working a dece part time job and spending the rest of my time volunteering. i go by she/her pronouns. i reside in the mountain timezone and i am thrilled to hopefully start writing with you. 
why should you write with me? because i promise that if i pick up an rp with you i’m gonna put 100 and 10 percent of my effort into our story. i’m looking for a long term gig, someone who i can really weave a plot with, someone who digs the cut of my jib. i want us to be able to sob over our characters together late into the night. i want us to exchange songs, playlists, posts found on the internet, aesthetic boards, whatever reminds us of our characters/our plot. i will probably spam you with pictures of my character’s playby and i want to see mad pics of yours, too. i want us to go through our character’s struggles together as well as be able to cheer together when our characters get a hold on their situation and come up on top. i want us to inspire one another with our writing. it’s gonna be great. you & me honey. 
gee, that sounds nice! i’m inclined to agree with ya! but a few things you should know before you go any further: i write anywhere between full lit to lit + to novella style, so expect posts of at least 4 - 6 paragraphs baseline. sometimes i crank out 10. or just 5. depends entirely on what’s going on. i write according to situation, with a great amount of detail spent on what my character is thinking/feeling in response to yours. the replies you get will be fully fleshed out & enthralling. i am a stickler for grammar and spelling, though nobody’s perfect, i do occasionally have my slipups. all lowercase text is strictly kept to ooc communication. i can be sporadic with capitalization ooc but still keep good spelling. i will never pressure you into posting or writing ridiculous amounts just to match my post. i want you to have fun too! if i’ve had a bit too much to drink or am about to hit the hay, i’ll wait to post until i can give my post my full attention. usually i’ll be able to post at least once every couple of days, sometimes up to multiple times a day if we’re in the same or a similar time zone. i also totally understand life happens and sometimes we just need a breather. ♥ i have bipolar depression, and sometimes my depression kicks my ass, but i’ll let you know when that happens.
oh goodness, what else? i write predominantly m/m pairings but i am open to m/f and f/f as well. i do not write high fantasy settings, sorry doll. my interests mostly align with modern day, slice of life kinda stuff, aside from the fandoms i do have. i don’t have many limits besides excessive gore, scat, mpreg, and writing smut for sake of smut. i love my romance just like anyone else does, but it’s got to have plot. our characters have to have chemistry or else i get bored. i haven’t doubled before but i think i’d be down for it with the right plot. usually i prefer that we play one character each, or we play multiple characters within a plot, but not usually more than one plot at the same time. but!!! i am totally willing to try new things!! just be patient with me as i learn m'kay? i have had several threads going at once with one partner which can be super fun. also most of my characters are pretty kinky but like, i prefer that we talk about kinks and limits one on one as opposed to airing out my character’s laundry. also- i wanna be your friend ooc. let’s chat. i find it’s so much easier to have muse and post if i enjoy the virtual company of the people i’m writing with.
ok but what do you write? 
what *don’t* i write? kidding. here’s a bit of fandom for ya. if i’ve got plots listed, they’re the ideas i have, but i’m totally open to yours as well. stars denote how much i’m craving them. i’ll list the canon characters i write after i list the fandom: 
fallout: new vegas & 4: arcade gannon & elder maxson, paladin danse - also got a ton of ocs for both *plot for fallout 4 a: we explore the cut ending to the brotherhood of steel questline, wherein the sole survivor and paladin danse refuse maxson’s final orders for danse, and fight for danse to become the leader of the brotherhood of steel. would likely require you playing maxon or danse and me playing the other, with one of us playing the sole survivor.  *plot for fallout 4 b: your/my oc is a double agent for the railroad, with the mission to infiltrate the brotherhood of steel and send intelligence back to the agents back at home base. your/my oc becomes unexpectedly attached to elder maxson through work and circumstance. eventually, your/my oc must make a choice of where their allegiance lies: within the arms of arthur or with the faction they are fighting for. (potentially, we could double and do plot a & b at the same time.) 
mafia 2: vito scaletta  ***plot for mafia 2 a: we explore the dynamics of a relationship between vito and your oc. your oc could be in a position of great risk- think outside of the mafia, possibly a police officer, prostitute. some position where power dynamics could be played with. if the pairing is m/m we also deal with the themes of internalized homophobia and coming to terms with one’s identity. 
*bioshock 1, 2 & infinite: brigid tenbenbaum, andrew ryan, frank frontaine & eleanor lamb, sofia lamb & booker dewitt 
**marvel cinematic universe: tony stark, steve rogers
**greater marvel universe: logan howlett, carol danvers  ****random plot: we do a crossover and we ship sharon carter/carol danvers. i just. uuugh i have a lot of feelings about them and i have hella muse for these babes. lemme know if you’re down to give this a shot i will love you forever no word of a lie. 
but honestly where my heart lies is within oc rp. here are a few plots i have of mine, stars denote how much i’m craving them:
****(m/m) power & politics: my oc is a prestigious state senator, who lives a double life. he is currently in the closet with no intent on leaving it anytime soon. however, a certain someone falls into his life, making him question what he thought he knew for certain. your oc breaks down the walls my oc has put up and changes him into a softer, better man. however, with an upcoming presidential campaign on the horizon for my oc, the limits of the secret relationship will be pushed and pulled beyond what both parties have ‘signed up for.‘
****(m/m) the guardian: your oc is a newcomer to the nhl but is quickly making waves- think connor mcdavid style. he’s young and impressive, but mostly, impressionable. he starts to get battered around by both his teammates and opposing teams. after a few hard hits and fowl play within the game that have cost your oc bench and recovery time, the team’s coach calls in reinforcements to boost the team’s morale and serve as a protector to your oc. my oc is a player who hasn’t got the talent part but has got a huge heart. not to mention… huge hands. good for makin’ fists. good for fightin’.  my oc protects your oc during the games, coming to your oc’s aid, picking fights for your oc and protecting him on the ice. as such, the two players grow attached to one another.. perhaps too attached for the captain to be comfortable with. possibilities for a love triangle and other complications, for sure
***(m/m) too good to be true: our ocs start out in the whl, both as promising wingers. their good chemistry is vital to bringing back their team’s success. however, one of our ocs starts to get too attached to the other, and when an nhl draft separates them, one of our ocs is all too eager to cut contact and try to forget. the two excel in their nhl careers without one another, and end up on nhl teams with a history of deep rivalry. occasionally, the gloves hit the ice, fueled by the tension of unresolved feelings and the pressure of the respective teams to keep up the rivalry. the two are reunited when they are both chosen to play nationally for the same team, and are forced to reconcile what they have both buried so deeply within them. 
***(m/m) big money: these two ocs play for rival teams in the nhl. while their teams have a history of tension, our two ocs take it to the next level. audiences are more excited to watch these two fight than they are to watch the game itself. there’s a market in the violence between these two, and a reputation to maintain on both ends. if the public found out that these two were secretly seeing one another, their careers would both be over. 
okay and, here are just some general prompts that could be intertwined with the plots above, or could be something we use to springboard into our own rp:
my oc has serious commitment issues. they often go around ‘ghosting’ individuals after 4-5 dates, with little to no explanation of why. your oc falls for mine, and is the first to confront my oc about their shitty habits. 
your oc and my oc were best friends, but they lost touch over a stupid fight they had when they were preteens. they can’t believe that they’re seeing one another in a bar, halfway across the world from where they met. 
your oc and my oc were flames. my oc proposed to yours, but yours turned them down. they never spoke again… until they were sharing a crammed elevator, with my oc being completely intoxicated, and still confessing their feelings for your oc. 
your oc is a huge fan of my oc’s nhl career/political career. your oc wins a contest to meet and have dinner with my oc. while my oc expects a boring night out, my oc is completely surprised by how well they hit it off with your oc. 
my oc, your first oc and your second oc all grew up together. your first oc has always been pining for my oc’s attention, and is thrilled when my oc and your first oc finally get together. they develop a long term relationship, but my oc knows it would devastate your first oc if they told them that they have been seeing your second oc for most of the relationship. 
but honestly one of my favorite things is coming up with plots with partners based around our OCs. let’s figure something out!!
i recognize that a lot of these focus on the nhl/the lives of professional hockey players- please don’t be worried about hockey knowledge/nhl jargon/whatever else goes through your head! i’m more interested in sport as a realm for drama than i am for following the rulebook and being 100% accurate to life when it comes to hockey. there’s a lot i don’t know and am still needing to learn, myself! if you know a lot, great!! if you don’t, let’s figure things out together! as for general oc ideas, here’s a list:
professor x student
veteran x civillian
cop x criminal 
psychiatrist x patient
OC superheroes (I have a lot of muse for this one!)
street racing, fast-and-furious-esque setting
rival gangs 
nhl/hockey based (lol obviously)
small town canadiana or americana 
fun, fluffy romance based modern settings
darker themes such as addiction, abuse, etc
historical setting- preferably, the second world war/1940s-1960s 
light worldbuilding - new to this but wanting to learn
honestly whatever you can pitch me that isn’t high fantasy ☺
i can expand on and work with any of these ideas, these are just like, topics. whatever i do with you, i promise it’ll be fleshed out, with tons of opportunity for drama. 
hell yeah let’s do this pal 
if any, and i mean any, of this piqued your fancy, pleaaaase shoot me an email at 
i will respond! but please send me something thoughtful! i’d like to hear what part of my ad that you’re interested in/why you chose to contact me. i am most wanting to rp over email and talk over google hangouts but i can be open to skype, too.  i sure look forward to hearing from you!  ✌ & ♥ emmy
