              ❝𝙶𝚄𝙴𝚂𝚂  𝙳𝙸𝙽𝙽𝙴𝚁’𝚂  𝙾𝙽  𝙼𝙴  𝙵𝙾𝚁  𝚃𝙷𝙴  𝙽𝙴𝚇𝚃  𝚆𝙴𝙴𝙺,  𝙷𝚄𝙷?❞  𝚂𝙾𝙻𝙾  𝙾𝙵𝙵𝙴𝚁𝙴𝙳 𝚆𝙸𝚃𝙷  𝙰𝙽  𝙸𝙽𝚂𝙾𝙻𝙴𝙽𝚃  𝙶𝚁𝙸𝙽 ,   though he knew even as he said it that a week’s worth of hot meals wouldn’t come close to covering the cost, not with the current price of bacta on the black markets skyrocketing to the point of absurdity.  ❝an’ who says i need bacta?❞   wishful thinking for sure, but a man could always dream.

the truth was han didn’t want the bacta, albeit not because he wouldn’t make good use of it.  stars knew he could use a dab if only to staunch the blood still trickling down his right side.  but bacta had long since become a luxury item, thanks to the empire’s ever-tightening grip on the galaxy’s supply—a situation he, in a twisted bit of irony, helped to worsen by aiding the rebels at yavin.  with the rebellion’s status now upgraded from a minor nuisance to a serious thorn in the empire’s side, bacta was rarer than ever, flat-out unobtainable in some sectors.

han couldn’t—wouldn’t take more than what jyn had freely given him.  the idea of accepting more, knowing the potential stakes—after directly involving her—made his gut clench in a way that had very little to do with his injuries.

besides, growing up under shrike, this was hardly new. there were plenty of times he should’ve ended up in the medical bay, but since the bastard had never bothered, too tightfisted to even consider first aid, han learned early on to endure affliction like an unwelcome but familiar guest.  this was fine; he could handle it.   what gnawed at him wasn’t really the pain itself anyway, but the way it always dragged him back to a past he’d been trying for years to bury.

          ❝can’t say for sure what set ’em off. didn’t do much except ask the right questions.❞ or the wrong ones, given the mess they were in now.   the men who jumped him could’ve been thugs unrelated to his recon, or maybe they’d originally planned to cash in on his active bounty, but something clicked at the last second and they realized killing or kidnapping him wasn’t worth the inevitable headache—unless, of course, they wanted the rebel princess, the last jedi, and an enraged wookiee crawling up their asses within the week.

❝i’d say they didn’t take kindly to people pokin’ around, especially not some corellian with a military background.❞  his military career wasn’t anything to brag about; short-lived, full of as many commendations as reprimands, dishonorable discharge — but that didn’t negate its legitimacy.   ❝might be a shot in the dark, but there’s a decent chance they think i’m corsec.❞

although his official discharge was more than a few years ago, it wasn’t uncommon for corellians who’d washed out of the empire’s forces to end up in the ranks of corellia’s law enforcement agency, corsec.  they were always on the lookout for fresh blood, for men and women who didn’t quite fit the empire’s mold but had the grit and street sense that corsec thrived on. corellians, after all, weren’t exactly known best for toeing the line.  they had a reputation for living fast and loose, guided more by personal codes than by any official rulebook.  but when it came to corsec, there was an undeniable harmony han had observed firsthand, a strange but compelling mix of corellian pride and shared understanding that seemed to keep his people in check.   maybe it was a deep-seated sense of identity across history, or maybe it was because corsec only recruited the best of the best, the ones trusted to uphold a reputation that was more legend than law.

either way, any crime organization with a modicum of self-preservation would be wary of attracting the attention of an outfit recognized as one of the most effective police forces in the galaxy, especially for those operating anywhere near the corellian system.

❝got one problem with that: no sclavoj would risk taking out a corsec officer,❞ han continued after a measured beat, mostly to distract himself as he blindly reached for the scalpel again, overshooting it once, twice, the throbbing pain in his leg making his head spin as though someone had set fire to the remaining fabric still squeezing his lower half.   he glanced down, hands trembling, then sliced through the fabric drawn taut across his hips, letting out a near-audible sigh of relief as the material snapped apart to reveal a mottled expanse of bruises, ugly mauve splotches fanning from below his waistline down the length of his swollen upper thigh.

            to hell with modesty, han thought, collapsing back onto the ruined couch, now half-naked and fairly delirious from blood loss.   nothing sexy about looking like an old piece of beaten-up fruit.   he turned his head slowly, welcoming the rough grind of thick hair against the couch as it anchored him to the present moment, to reality.   ❝you—uh, ever run into ’em?❞

over the past few months jyn had worked on and off again with solo, she'd seen him in worse conditions than this. to be as reckless and mouthy as someone like him is, he has to be more resilient than the average sentient. that's not to say his current appearance isn't in a sorry state . . . yet she's seen him walk out of fights he shouldn't have survived with a smirk on his face and a swagger in his step. there's a look in his eyes she so rarely sees, the kind of look that comes from staring some fragment of your past in the face. whatever had happened in that fight, it's not the physical injuries that are currently hurting him most ; instead, it's the equivalent of what happens to her when she's reminded of something that she'd shoved deep down in the cave in her mind but it hadn't stayed down.

but if he's going for levity, then she'll follow his head. there are some lines that she won't cross and this is one of them. despite herself, she cares for solo –�� not enough to play nurse for him, yet after she tosses her medkit to him, she remains in close proximity, just in case. " yeah ? " she retorts, the easy air to her words at odds with the tension in the room. once he reveals the dark mess of his leg, she winces in sympathy, though doesn't move from where she stands. if he needs help, he'll ask –– they both know he's more than capable of patching himself on his own. " will dinner and drinks cover the cost of all the bacta you're using or will this be more of a dine and dash sort of situation ? "

based on his injuries, it looks like the situation had been more than just a simple mugging. she gives him plenty of shit but solo can take care of himself. besides, he's got the look of someone that makes other people look twice before messing with him. while the two of them may not blend in with the upper echelons of society, they certainly fit in a place like this ; when she leaves the flat, she ensures that she's visibly armed. this, combined with what he tells her next, cements her belief that this hadn't been a random mugging, but rather something personal.

her hands tighten into fists. there aren't many people she cares about in the galaxy but the ones she does . . . when she speaks, she keeps her voice, calm, level, though there's an undercurrent of a promise of violence woven throughout it. " you do anything to piss 'em off ? " she asks, even though it's more rhetorical than anything else. ( knowing han, the answer is probably yes, even if he'd been in the right. ) she perches on the arm of the chair next to him, hawkish eyes observing him as he patches up yet another wound.

the iriso neg gilto –– it does ring a bell, if only barely. other than having heard whispers of the organization and their underground slaving ring, she knows very little. " not much, " she admits. " whispers, same as you. the kind of boogeymen parents tell their kids about to get them to behave. " but if what han's saying is true –– and she believes he believes it, at least, seeing as he wouldn't lie about such a grave matter like this –– then there's a much bigger problem on this planet than the alliance had originally imagined.

though this has nothing to do with the current operation she'd been tasked with, she has no intention of letting solo deal with this on his own. slavers are some of the worst scum in the galaxy, even without the empire's influence ; she wants nothing more than to clear out the entire organization at once, to cut one of the head off of the hydra. " so –– what now ? if it's them, then they've already made it clear what they'll do to you if you get too close again. " as she thinks, she drums her fingers on her leg. " 'sides, you're not going anywhere 'til you heal up a bit. " capabilities aside, pain and injuries will make even the best agent sloppy eventually. in her mind, there's only one path forward, at least for the time being. " i'll give it a few hours, then head out myself. " she's an unknown factor –– for now. " you got the coordinates of where you were jumped ? figure i'll start there, see if i can catch a lead. "

rain what are ur fav books!!!!!!

hi romy!!!!! sry this is late sldkfjsi this weekend got away from me a bit --

i have a good few!!! some of them are more modern, some aren't but in no particular order:

the book thief; a modern classic at this point! super beautifully written, very touching subject matter pls do read this if you haven't already !!!

dreams and shadows; this is one of those books where there were sentences that sent me spiraling like i had to take a lap of my apartment multiple times when i read this book just to like reconsider the meaning of LIFE

any jane austen novel; but i mean pride and prejudice is like... the most popular for a reason, though i will say emma does have a special place in my heart too cause the main character is so like... flawed and kind of annoying but in an endearing kind of way

picture of dorian gray; oscar wilde's only novel, and my go to answer if someone asks me my fav book/novel of all time bc like... its just so lush, the prose is unmatched and trapping ur immortal soul in a painting to then act out all the carnal sins of the flesh while sustaining no damage in ur physical body? a VIBE tbh.

starling house; this is a newer book! i've recoed it to a few ppl but it contains one of my favorite subgenres of like urban fantasy/magical realism which is: anthropomorphic house!!!! i love a good living house u__u

the secret history; bc im NOTHING if not dark academia TRASH like for a solid few months two years ago, i went through and read every single book that could be categorized as dark academia yeah. yeah. also donna tartt really knows her way around a gooddamn sentence

every heart a doorway; another more recent one, it's actually a novella! the first in a series of novellas by seanan mcguire (another one of my current fav authors) -- i realized that i just adore portal fantasies ??? like it's another subgenre of fantasy i fucking cant get enough of and this is one of the best, imo. again, writing is so lovely and visceral and there's good representation in this one too! the mc is openingly asexual!

daughter of smoke and bone; bc laini taylor will always be one of my favs. AGAIN. her prose is so gorgeous. also who doesn't love a cosmic level love story complete with angels and demons and also like an earth-shattering war?

the great gatsby; there are lines from this that are such SICK burns esp when describing tom and i just -- i can't stop laughing every time

a midsummer night's dream; one of those shakespeare plays thats not like THEY ALL DIE AT THE END ukno? also its just silly and fun times. everyone falls in love with the wrong person and chaos ensues; so many BANGER lines tho -- the rly famous one of love looks with the mind and not with the eyes and thus is wing'ed cupid painted blind? that one? from this play!!!

rebecca; another classic, tho it's not as old as some other "proper" classics so it's easier to read -- like it reads like a normal novel, there's not like a weird syntax barrier (like im struggling with with jane eyre right now sigh) and its like the og southern gothic novel of like woman moves into a big house and Weird Shit is happening

lolita; this is a controversial one, so thread carefully, but no one can argue that nabokov is one of the true masters of the english language and a genius to boot. like. you know a book is good if it's been banned and this is i believe one of the books in history (for obvious reasons) but still

Persona RP Search

Hi there! I'm looking for some Persona-based threads, and here's some quick info on what, specifically, I'm looking for in a partner:

18+ only. No exceptions!

Discord only (maybe email, but I won't write here on tumblr)

3rd person only; present tense preferred but I'm willing to switch to past tense

Looking for 2-3 posts per week; more is fine, but please don't expect daily or rapid-fire posts from me!

Substantial posts (multi-paragraph and/or novella-length). On discord, I exceed the post limit multiple times, but I'm more than willing to pare that down to 5ish substantial paragraphs if you'd prefer!

I am wanting to include NSFW content (not looking to fade to black), and I would prefer we discuss limits when you reach out! Please note, tho, that I'm not looking to arbitrarily 'age-up' characters!

I'm only looking for canon/canon pairs right now, and I have no issue doubling/writing multiple characters if there are multiple we both agree on! Characters I'd rather write will be in purple (tho I try to be flexible). Specifically, pairings I'd love to write include:

Akechi/Akira

Ryoji/Minato

Akihiko/Shinjiro

Shinjiro/Kotone

Akihiko/Kotone/Shinjiro

Adachi/Yu

I'm also willing to include any of the following side pairs (YukaMitsu, JunDori, YukiChie, NaoKanji, Fuuka/Natsuki, MakoHaru, SumiTaba, RyuKita, AnnRyu, AnnShiho, MaruKichi).

I do have some plot ideas, one of which is a crossover which basically tosses Maruki, Zenkichi, and Adachi into a makeshift Shadow Operative mission; please feel free to ask about it if you're curious! Other characters I'd be willing/wanting to include would be the wild cards (plus Aigis), Naoto, Akechi, Mitsuru, Akihiko, Fuuka, + Ryoji. For this idea, I'd most enjoy writing multiple characters a piece, but it isn't strictly necessary!

If you're at all interested, please feel free to reach out: either through a DM on here or on discord. You're welcome to add me there; my username is Resoan.

I hope to hear from some of you soon!

              𝙽𝙾 𝚂𝙴𝙽𝚃𝚁𝚈 𝙳𝚁𝙾𝙸𝙳𝚂 𝙼𝙰𝙳𝙴 𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝚁𝙾𝚄𝙽𝙳𝚂 𝙰𝚃 𝚃𝙷𝙸𝚂 𝙷𝙾𝚄𝚁.   not when it was well past the usual check-in time, and on a rotation his captors didn’t normally bother with feeding their only prisoner.  shortly after the incongruity, the lone glowpanel in the corridor flickered off, a coincidence too conveniently timed to ignore.

vader might have dismissed the peculiarities if it were just a matter of an hour’s discrepancy.  he would’ve suppressed his mounting restlessness, the persistent urge compelling him to seize control and impress upon his captors that their foolish dallying would inevitably lead to dire consequences.  but these deviations reached far beyond routine breaking.  vader had meticulously committed to memory the specifications, designs, and routines of every sentry droid he encountered in this confined space.  none of them exhibited a silhouette quite akin to the one taking shape meters away from where he resided behind prison bars.

for over long moments, the dark lord stared into the pitch-black depths of the corridor, waiting as the anticipation of long-awaited company set him on edge once more.

yet, there was nothing.  nothing but the hushed ambiance and the disquiet he had furiously shoved aside days ago, after coming awake to a profound stillness, the realization that the world around him had plunged into a deafening silence, excruciatingly unresponsive and opaque.  his captors had taken from him everything, severing his connection to his intuitive compass and leaving him unmoored, isolated from the vast galaxy and its myriad wonders.

for this crime alone, vader would see to it his captors tasted a comparable form of suffering, at least before he crushed their throats.

vader didn’t witness the event—he didn’t require visual confirmation, even without the guiding touch of the force—but he discerned precisely when solitude was no longer his companion.

across the dim expanse, where the meager light of a single, flickering glowpanel fell short, stood the same humanoid outline from hours earlier, now with more distinct features.  it wasn’t merely another manifestation of imagination bleeding into reality, a newfound symptom induced by extended exposure to a force-inhibiting device, but real.  tangible.

              the silhouette then cleaved itself in two.

after enduring hours of anticipation, the impending visit had lost its claim to enthusiasm.  vader’s response to the pair in close proximity presented as a less-than-enthusiastic scowl—an expression, upon consideration, that may not have been the most cautious choice for a first impression.  then again, vader harbored substantial doubts that this encounter remotely resembled a first impression.  these two, whoever they were, preferred to maintain a distance, opting instead for the use of surveillance devices: holocams embedded in the walls, strategically positioned in high-up cracks that caught the light at specific times of the day, and electrobugs discreetly welded into the metal frame of the cot.

from the outset of his incarceration, numerous eyes scrutinized his every move, listened intently to each breath, and captured every soft curse muttered.  and for what purpose?

from the corner of his cell, vader continued to observe the hooded figures, his demeanor composed as he settled into his seat, long legs extending with an expectant air.  eventually, the taller one of the two stepped forward and dropped their cowl to reveal a pale, angular face branded with intricate patterns, tattoos he’d seen somewhere long, long ago, in another life…  nightsisters, was his belated realization, the specific designs belonging to a nightsister of the long-dead talzin clan.

❝took you long enough,❞ vader chided, his tone a facsimile of cordial.  ❝i assume you have a good excuse for keeping me waiting.  did you get lost on the way here?❞

eyes the color of burnished steel further narrowed as she assessed him, her plum-red lips twisting into a contemptuous sneer, as though she had expected more than just the one good-looking fellow seated all by his lonesome.

❝i hope your delay means you’ve prepared a formidable defense, for your sake—❞

like a kodashi viper, the nightsister struck with lightning-fast speed and more strength than vader had initially attributed to the petite woman; her closed fist met his jaw in less than a second, the force of the blow sending his head snapping downward.  pain rocketed up the side of his face, pricking the bottom of his left eye until it twitched repeatedly.                 big mistake.

jerking his chin to flick a loose curl from his face, vader turned slowly, his eyes sharp and steady as he gazed up at the woman from beneath his brows.  he worked his jaw—partly for show, partly to assess the exponentially growing ache—before licking his lips, the metallic taste of blood spreading fast on his tongue.

❝get to the point.  you went through a lot of trouble to capture me.  care to share the reason behind it?❞

unsurprisingly, the nightsister offered no answers; instead, she pivoted, signaling to her companion who swiftly removed the rucksack slung over their shoulder, delving into its contents until they unearthed what they sought.  their cowl came down with one fluid motion, prompting vader to arch a brow at his second captor’s newly revealed face—a young adult zabrak with features too similar to mistake him for anything other than her closely related family. 

❝master,❞ he intoned in a low, gruff voice, evading vader’s probing gaze.  in his outstretched hand was a string of beads, jewelry crafted from carved wood and colorful shards of perforated stone.  a sinister energy emanated from it in waves, its force power so distinct and potent that it somehow counteracted the effects of the force-inhibiting cell.  it was then vader noticed the door behind them was open, unguarded, and a mere handful of long strides away—the yearning made itself known again, settling deep in his bones and itching somewhere in the recesses of his chest.

               a warning, feeble and scrabbling, given to 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐇𝐎𝐒𝐄𝐍 𝐎𝐍𝐄 through the opened conduit.

❝attempt to use my lifeforce, and you’ll unleash a wrath you can’t comprehend.  my life is not a bargaining chip.  release me.  now.❞

at this point in his life, the young prince should be used to the assassination attempts, kidnappings, and all the other inconvenient nonsense that came with being imperial royalty. yet here he is, flooded with disbelief and frustration. his palms press against his eyes as the holovid of his grandfather's capture plays on repeat for the umpteenth time.

did the sanity of vacation time mean nothing to these villains? were they so debased and cowardly that they could only dare an attack while Vader was stark-ass naked in a hot spring? was this a group of vindictive 'saber-wielding darksiders or a bunch of aggressive perverts? matt knows that it's the former — at the very least he hopes it's the former, he isn't sure how he'll react if it's the latter — and that he must act swiftly and cautiously. every precious second that passes is another moment that endangers his grandfather's life. like hell he'll leave his precious Master alone with those promiscuous assailants for longer than necessary.

the prince shuts the holovid off. he needs quiet to focus. matt sits with his back straight, legs crossed, and palms resting on his lap as he settles into deep meditation on the floor of Vader's room.

please be all right, he pleas through their bond. even now there's a disconnect in their bond — it feels so strange not to be able to speak with his grandfather, to hear him speak back — cut off by what Matt knows is a force inhibitor. still, the young man continues with no small amount of hope that the force will give even a whisper of his concerns to the man he so desperately wants to find. please be safe, gran'pa. and please . . . at least have pants.

but whispering pleas down a blocked bond will not save the emperor; it might, however, help to find him.

it's almost like a game of hide and seek, Matt thinks to himself. a game he used to play Luke years ago, one that taught Matt the very skill he uses now. the next time he sees his papa he's going envelop him in a crushing hug for these precious teachings.

hazel eyes close and with every breath, he falls deeper and deeper into concentration as force guides him along the fading teether of his bond with his master. images of the darksiders flash to his mind causing his focus to intensify. somewhere in the wide expanse of the cosmos, that emperor-napping group sith-wannabes gather together, foolishly believing that they could keep his Master hidden away, but Matt will find them. he'll find his grandfather; he'll bring him home.

minutes or hours pass as his search continues, the force guiding him to what he seeks: visions of a star system in the far reaches of the galaxy, of a desolate planet that seems near forgotten and dusted in snow.

shrouded in a thick, suffocating cloud of darkness stand tall monuments carved from stone lining a path littered with jutting sharp stones that lead to a temple. Matt's teeth grind together anxiously. of course they took him to a Sith temple. at least he knows where to find his grandfather now.

Matt offers his deepest gratitude to the force for guiding his search before he raids his Master's closet.

a pair of pants, a tunic, and a robe are stuffed into his pack before being slung over his shoulder. he can't be too safe or too sure when it comes to the perverse treatment of his grandfather considering his kidnapper's method of capture. as matt heads toward the hanger bay he mutters a quiet hope that they at least gave Vader the dignity of a pair of shorts.

landing closer to his destination might have been easier but it'd only serve to alert the enemy to his presence sooner than later. that, and he wasn't exactly sure where on this planet the temple he sought was. walking is the only option viable, and it takes what feels like hours for Matt to reach the temple on foot.

though, for the last bit of his trek, every step feels heavier and harder to take. the shadow cast by the temple smothers him in darkness so familiar and yet so oppressively worse than he's grown to know. vader's presence had never felt so. . . terrible to him. not like this. it causes his stomach to roll and churn with anxiety, and every hair on his body stands on end.

"kriff!" nausea blooms in his gut from the curious, demented tendrils of darkness looking to draw out pain and terror. Matt nearly doubles over and empties the contents of his stomach by the time he makes it to the entrance of the temple.

the sudden noise of alarm that comes from the magna droid startles him. matt nearly forgot about his friend. somehow, he manages a smile. "i'll be okay, Iggy. just uh, ya know. pretty intense force stuff. ha ha ha." not the most eloquently put, but Matt doesn't care for waxing poetics at the moment. at least he's not alone on this mission; that's a plus.

he leans against the temple wall as he attempts to calm himself from the onslaught of darkness whispering that this rescue will fail, that he will fail; he refuses to believe it. he can't afford to. there's too much at stake for the young apprentice to fail his Master.

he knows it's only going to get worse before it gets better, and it might not get better at all. but he'll suffer this torment if it means he can retrieve his grandfather and deliver him back home where he belongs.

"don't worry, gran'pa, i'll find you."

with newfound resolve and determination despite the oppressiveness looming all around him, Matt takes his first steps into the temple —

— and promptly retches.

hi there! ✨ i'm on the lookout for some Persona 5 threads! have some quick info about what i'm looking for:

18+ partners only; smut (no fading to black pls!) + nsfw content is expected. pls note i have no interest in arbitrarily 'aging-up' characters

only looking to write over discord. i could be convinced to switch over to emails, but i don't write on tumblr

2-3 posts per week would be ideal; i can't keep up with daily/rapid-fire posts. third person present tense is my preference, but i can switch to past if you're more comfortable with that! i won't write in first person, tho, and i can't write with someone who does either

mostly looking for novella writers (long-form prose that exceeds the discord limit), tho i'm also down for something a bit shorter in the multi-paragraph range (5ish substantial paragraphs at least pls!)

i'm pretty much only looking to write akechi/akira (with a preference to write akira but i'm comfortable with either). canon divergent plots are where i like to play (shujin!akechi, akechi joining the PTs earlier, etc), tho i'm also happy to hear your ideas! not interested in any non-magical/non-metaverse aus, tho!

i'm not really looking to double here, and i have no interest in including ocs right now.

i do also have an idea for a more crossover-based au from personas 3-5 that would involve tossing people like maruki, zenkichi, and adachi into the shadow operatives (loosely, since i haven't really played arena). would be happy to discuss plot and pair(s), and just for clarity's sake would be wanting/willing to include all three wild cards (plus aigis), mitsuru, akihiko, akechi, naoto, fuuka, & ryoji.

if you're interested, pls feel free to like this post and i'll reach out!

give a like and anon will get back to you

PREFERRED ROLEPLAY TYPE: TTRPG, definitely. Pen, paper, character sheets and dice all the way. But lack of time and language barrier keeps me from doing it as often as I'd like.

PET PEEVES & DEALBREAKERS: Non-con in general is a big no. Also antropophagy. Harm to children and animals needs to be in a fade-to-black, or only briefly mentioned. I don't like overtly violent interactions (as in, torture sessions), but I can roll with it if I know what's coming next (please warn me if you intend to kill one of my muses please).

PLOTS OR MEMES: Both! I like memes for inspiration, even if they don't become threads (work is biting my ass lately so short threads have been a respite for me due to lack of time to write).

LONG REPLIES OR SHORT REPLIES: Both! I love para-novella, but I also love quick banters, especially if it's some unhinged funny shit.

BEST TIME TO WRITE: I write at night, or in quick spaced breaks during my shift, but mostly at night (after 21h Brasília Time).

ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSES: NAH, Nyssala is my complete opposite personality-wise and GOD FREE ME from being such an asshole like Erala. I wish I could be such a strong character like Jaheira, tho.

halfway-ish through threads of power, documenting my thoughts because I hope they change.

overall feeling so far is sadly quite meh, like I enjoy it but it's not nearly as exiting to read as the previous in the series.

it's the typical fantasy curse where you get a bit too many plotlines so it takes way too long between character chapters. I'm almost 300 pages and the plot has just barely started.

I also don't think most of the flashbacks so far where necessary, this coming from someone who adores flashbacks. Especially the kell and lila ones give me a similar feeling to the alucard novella, which is that they just do exactly what was eluded to in the regular chapters in the exact way i would have predicted anyway. You can just say "since kell doesn't have powers lila taught him how to use knives/swords", that was really obvious and I did not need multiple chapters of them sparring to communicate that. They worked really well when introducing the new characters tho, especially nadia, so I don't think they shouln't be there at all I just think more editing was needed. Also in general when catching up with characters through flashbacks I really prefer it to be big stuff, like rhy introducing ren to kell and lila for the first time or tierens death (which we did kinda get but only with rhys feelings).

I also hope lila will have a little more character develpment before the book ends, I never had issues with her in the original series the way most do but that's in big part because she was a teenager and it felt kinda fitting then. That same behavior gets tired really fast coming from what is supposed to be an adult woman.

to end on a good note tho (I promise I do actually like the book), the new characters are really interesting and I enjoy them so far. Especially tes powers are really cool, I was a bit scared she would feel too overpowered but it feels very even so far. I also don't like holland so I was scared of kosikas plot being too much about him, but she really stands well on her own. The situation with nadia seems a little too perfect for everyone involved, but I love her relationship with rhy and alucard so I don't really care.

hi i’m 25NB in est looking for 21+ writers with blorbos to spare. i default to fandomless but i’m open to involving fandoms if we happen to have similar interests. i like science fiction, supernatural, & psychological horror plots best. i will lose interest in smut without some kind of framing plot, but i do love my smut. i’m BIG on worldbuilding, whether it’s elaborate lore sharing, pinterest boards, musing collections, or text rp to supplement the story.

i’m experimental and open to most kinks. my guilty pleasures are 🕊️ noncon/dubcon, (extreme) size difference, psychological play, mindbreak, huge power imbalances, micro/macro, robot/ai sex, vore, “soft” doms, weird toxic obsessions, & hypnosis, but these definitely aren’t required!! almost all of my muses are bratty subs convinced they are actually doms. you’ve been warned.

we are discord 1x1 hours here. roleplays will be housed in a server, not in dms. my replies can be as slow as once a week, or as quick as several in the same night. i prefer to jump between several threads with the same person. as such i’m very willing to double up and that sort of thing. i have a bajillion aus for every blorbo and i’m always excited to speculate about new ones. i tend to lean towards para/multipara tho i can and will pop out a novella every so often.

i work full time and then some, so occasionally i will take time away from certain muses, threads, or genres, to avoid burnout. i will discuss hard boundaries/triggers first thing. be aware that many of my muses are trans, genderfluid, and/or gender nonconforming in some way. i write about what i know. if that’s a turnoff, or you won’t write certain gendered pairings, we probably won’t be the best match.

aight this is long enough already. like this post or message @detriital on tumblr if interested ✨

hiya!! indulgently posting a rp search ad looking for anyone who is interested in writing gale dekarios from baldur’s gate 3 against an original character/tav (half elven female druid)! and i would be more than happy to write a canon bg3 companion (or any other npc or oc idea you have should that be preferable!) against your original character in a multi-muse rp on discord in return (aka playing multiple characters between just the two of us!) if interested, IM me or like this post and i’ll reach out to you! some additional details for what i'm looking for are under the cut!

i (she/her) am 28, so i'm looking for partners who are 21+!

i only write f/f, m/f, and nb relationships

i am happy to write or headcanon nsfw content but prefer to have a rich multi-muse experience containing all kinds of plotting, threads, themes, and otherwise, so i'm more of a 70/30 story to smut ratio kind of partner! i am also more than happy to use a fade to black method, or a mix of both! partner comfort before all else!

additionally, i prefer shorter replies to novella replies! especially in a multi-muse setting, longer replies can get cumbersome or overwhelming, particularly in threads that include all our characters. keeping replies to around 1-2 paragraphs tends to help keep the rp progressing better in my experience! quality over quantity! this isn't a hard rule tho, i'm fine with going over or under 1-2 paragraphs! like if you want to reply with just dialogue when the moment calls for it, and i am also known to go over/match my partner if we're writing a particularly important thread that gets lengthy 😂 im just here to have fun!

i am 100% ready to be invested in your original character and the canon character or oc you'd like me to write against them! i want you to have fun and indulge and just have a blast exploring backstories, relationships, side plots, and all the rest! i hope to see the same interest and attention in my partners as well, please don't reach out if you're only wanting to double to get the ship you want and don't genuinely have any interest in writing the other ship.

lastly, some themes i prefer to avoid in rp include: explicit themes of sexual abuse/assault, child abuse, animal abuse, slavery, and nsfw content that is age inappropriate or unclean (such as bathroom play)

[yetanotherrpfinder]

[ he him - 20 y.o - queer bipoc - 18+ only, 20+ preferred tho ]

what i want to write: genshin impact but specifically chiscara (childe x scaramouche). im usually flexible with my muses, but with chiscara i tend to exclusively write scara. i love having multiple threads and am down for basically anything plot-wise! au or canon and whatever else in between (: being okay with nsfw/erp is also highly preferred

how i write: 3rd person, present/past tense, and i Usually default to novella; however i am currently just barely recovering from burnout, so my replies will be semi-lit most likely, sorry abt that (“: i also write exclusively on discord and highly prefer to use “tupperbox” (you don’t have to tho!)

things to keep in mind: i’ve got a life as does anybody else and this is just a (very passionate💀) hobby for me. and overall, my activity/rp replies will most likely be pretty sporadic—this has nothing to do with interest tho! it’s just how i function unfortunately (bc.. also adhd).

so it’s super crucial that you’re okay with that, and i will give you the same grace as well! checking in is totally fine though, just don’t spam me pls! i’ll do my best to warn you about any gaps in activity too

i really like to get into my rps, from discussing scenarios/headcanons and characterizations, playlists, to overall just gushing abt our stuff and having fun etc etc—so you being the same is so very appreciated and preferred!

— aka, just looking for somebody to brainrot chiscara with cause they’ve got me real bad atm LOL

[ if anybody’s down pls do hmu! my discord is @sluuze ! ]
