|| having the issue of one of my sisters treating my ocs as if they're actually canon characters and the other sister seeming to get annoyed any time i bring up my ocs...maybe that's why I have that nagging anxiety that I annoy people when I talk about my ocs....

[alkasden]

Respond to the following prompts out of character, then tag others you'd like to get to know a little bit better.

Roleplayer name: Nine

Roleplayer pronouns: She/Her

Muse name(s): Alkas & Imp Nine (TBA) / Rosie (In another blog)

▼ More under the cut cause this is a bit long.

Preferred communication: Tumblr. Unless we plot some stuff together and I’m comfortable with you then I’d move to discord but often I won’t initiate on friend requests cause I’m shy. You'll likely have to be the one to send it or bring it up.

Experience: Been on and off RPing since I was able to type on a PC, so a bit over 20+ years ranging from chatrooms to paragraph forums to MMOs to Discord to Tumblr and even some VR thrown in there. Though I’ve helped run a lot of writing groups, I led one for several years that I retired from which was aimed at helping newer RPers learn the ropes based out of an MMO. My reasoning for retiring was simply a lot of pressure as it was around 500+ members at the time and my interest in the MMO was dying out. Though I’ve recently returned to Tumblr, before the nsfw purge I ran fanfiction and headcanon blogs for various fandoms and some light RPing. So I have a lot of scattered experience in fandoms and OC works.

Preferred roleplay type: I’m very flexible honestly as I’ll mirror who I’m vibing with whether it be just dialogue back and forth or paragraphs or even novellas! I don’t mind mixing up genres either as they are welcome to respond to me at their preferred type even if I’m not matching though I’ll often try to match to not pressure them.

Pet peeves & dealbreakers: Honestly, after leading a group of teaching beginners in writing there is not a lot that bothers me. I think a pet peeve I could say that really irks me is metagaming in the sense of not letting me play my character at all and basically writing out all my character’s actions for me unless discussed upon ooc for that scene.

Deal breakers for me are pretty common ones found in roleplaying. I will not tolerate someone claiming exclusivity over me as an RP partner and not allowing me to RP with others. I also tend to play combative or villain characters so someone forcing me to change them just so they can interact is really not something I can do with the exception of censoring certain topics or content for the sake of ooc comfort!

Loose example: I will not make my character nicer just so you can bang them (this one comes from the experience of being asked this more than once in past experiences before Alkas). Gotta earn that development if you want it. Otherwise, I’m all for toxic dynamics and bad endings.~

Other than that, making sure there’s a clear line between IC and OOC is a must. I am not my character and I will dip into themes I do not always see as okay morally.

Best time to write: I work as a 24/7 in-home caregiver, so honestly anytime is good for me. I have to occasionally leave my PC unexpectedly as I’m always on call and I also am awake at odd hours that shift everyday, so I cannot predict a schedule.

Are you like your muse? Personality wise? Heck no, Alkas is almost my polar opposite which is partially the intention. She’s very rude and abrasive and combative to the point she’s unreasonable and aggressively insecure. I think I would cry if I ever acted like she does to another person.

Of course, there are some parts of myself I have in her personality like we’re both Aromantic (though she’s Hypersexual on top of that and I’m Asexual (sex-positive). We both tend to be really awkward when it comes to actual friendships and keeping up with them, too. I also did put her living life close to mine since it was a RL reference just to make it easier on myself in her birthplace and ethnicity. Though I don’t know a lot about motorcycles, I certainly am going to be getting one soon and of course, I love greasers.

Physical wise? I shamefully admit her human form (and body type) is greatly based on myself. You never see it though, so it’s fineee.

For my imp, she's the gremlin that lives in my head based on intrusive and impulsive thoughts. For Rosie, I just try to stick to canon, so kinda in the kind motherly vibe cause people sometimes say I'm like that I guess?

What’s up! ♥️ I’m a 25 year old literate rper (he/him & they/them) looking a 21+ rp partner!

I’ve been itching for a Hazbin Hotel plot where I play Valentino and my rp partner plays Angel. I’m very interested in exploring their early years together and would like to do a plot where they meet for the first time and we can go from there. Or we can do a more current plot where Angel lives at the hotel but they still keep in contact with each other. I’m also open to doing Valentino x OCs and OCxOC plots in the Hazbin/Helluva world. I mostly play Valentino as a top/dom but I’m open to him being a switch if my partner wants it. My only requirements for rp partners are:

• Be 21+ • Have a decent grasp of grammar, punctuation and flow. I’m not strict at all when it comes to any writing mistakes, but I’d like for my partner to be at the very least literate. • Keep in mind that I’m going to be as canon as possible while playing Val, meaning that I’m not going to make him nicer. • Expect ☠️🕊️, smut, and lots of kink. • Good communication is key for me. Please be open about boundaries.

That’s pretty much it! Thanks for reading!

give a like and anon will get back to you

roleplay info. <3 [looking for more rp partners]

making a quick and temporary rp post until the other one i'm working on is ready.

bcuz i lost most of my rps due to quotev being a twat, i decided to start rping more on here. so i wanted to make a post so other rpers can reach out to me.

below will be my rules/requirments as well as a list of fandoms. please follow them all if you wish to rp with me. and if you're interested in rping, feel free to comment or message me.

ROLEPLAY RULES:

- descriptive/story/literate rp only. i'm not interested in rping script/text. 

- i only do double up rps. I’m not interested in just rping the canon character or original character for your rp. I don’t enjoy it and I want to actually be apart of it. rather than just play the love interest to your character.

- oc x oc or oc x cannon mainly. for my side. i usually only do oc x cannon esp if we're doing a fandom rp. obviously i would do oc x oc for an og rp. but if you'd rather do oc x oc, cannon x cannon for your side i'm fine with that. 

- it's very rare for me to do friendship based (platonic) rps, as i would like my side to be romantic. but if you want your side to be platonic, i can do that. 

- please try to copy my reply length to the best of your abilities. i need at least a paragraph or two. 

  - you play my love interest, i play yours.

  - i will not accept mary/gary sues. if i believe your oc is a mary/gary sue i will let you know. i do not mean to offend, i just find them annoying and wont enjoy the rp if your oc is like this.

  - with that being said, please don't make the whole rp about your character/oc.

  - no god modding. your oc/character cannot be the best at everything, give them flaws.

  - no adult x child. pedophilia. child porn. etc.

  - no love shapes. (threesomes, etc. i may or may not accept love triangles (just with crushing) depending on the characters and my mood).

- no incest.

  - no vore.

  - no bestiality.

  - no male pregnancies. 

  - no rape.

  - don't just play your oc and that's it. play more than one character. it's more fun this way.

- do not play my ocs.

  - do not spam me. message/spam me after a week of no reply.

  - be realistic. play the cannon characters properly. don't make them do something they wouldn't normally do. don't heal an injury right away. don't make someone pregnant right after having sex. etc.

  - use proper grammar and punctuation to the best of your abilities.

  - do not delete the rp without asking me first.

  - don't just stop replying, if you are done with the rp, let me know first.

  - don't time skip without asking me first.

  - don't make the whole entire rp sexual.

-my side will be bxg/fxm (girl x boy) but if you want your side to be something else (gxg, bxb, etc) than i am more than okay with doing that for you. as long as you're okay with doing bxg for me.

  - smut, cuss, and gore are all okay with me. but we can keep one or all of these out if you'd prefer. (i will not rp smut/nsfw with minors) 

-on that note, i will only rp with those of legal age. 18+.

- do not steal my forms or my characters.

  - do not write in the first person point of view. i will only accept third person pov.

  - if you have any ideas for the rp, let me know! don't be afraid to ask me anything.

  - don't hold your oc back, you know them better than i do. go nuts if that's how your character is.

that is all for now! thanks for reading through my rules, i know there are a lot, lol! :P to let me know that you have read my rules, please comment 'rat' or 'read' below! thank you!

[hazbinhoteloc-ninlil]

(a message for the mod :D)

sorry if i'm bothering you with this ask, mod. it's fine if you don't answer this. i know that my words can't worth much to anyone on the other side of this screen, but my gosh i'll try to spread the positivity and my appreciation for all RP blogs, so i'll send this in, mod. there could be a better way of doing this, which i have learned is through the art of tagging (yes i'm slowly learning my way through Tumblr because i, myself, am still a huge Tumblr newbie, lol), and i'm too nervous and shy to do something like that haha, so here's a personalized positivity ask in your ask box :D.

first, i love seeing your OC. their design is such a cool one, both of the designs. they are just so cool. i'd wish i could have interacted more but i get crazy anxious with things that i'm not quite familiar with, but i wish to interact more in the future :D.

the lore that you have made with the other RPers is that even a word? i don't know and i hope that i'm not pulling that word from out of nowhere, lol. is literally so cool to see. but that last one before they ascended just tug at my heart strings T^T.

i do hope that those anons/people would stop sending everyone hate because frankly those people have no clue what they're talking about >:(. you all are frankly so cool and lovely people, so >:(. again, sorry i'm bothering you with this rather man, i didn't expect it to be this long ask.

and that i hope that you have a wonderful day/night/whenever you manage to read this ask. don't feel the need to respond if you don't want to, just wanted to send this positivity ask in :D.

you might be able to tell who this is, but in case you don't, i wouldn't want to expose myself, so i hope you understand this being on an account with literally nothing but a tracker of who i've been to already (yes, i made an account just to do this but without any identifiable information on this account :P).

luv you and all that you do for this community :D.

you do what you do best so keep on doing it, mod :3.

-spreading positivity anon :D (the anon account that only interacts with mods unless the characters are in need to raising their spirit :3, even if this is an account.)

(yes i see the contradictory notion of me having this sign off, lol, but i'll also probably be around the other RP blogs and try to spread some positivity with the same sign-off as an attempt to fight off the unnecessary hate that seems to be thrown around :D. and i will become a virus which spreads positivity if i need to >:3)

Ooc: // Hello sweetheart, thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words.

This is what I meant when I said I am so proud of what this community has become, I’m so honored to be able to be apart of something that seeks to lift up and make others smile, while also gathering to support one another through hate.

Those Hateful anons haven’t come near me, and for that I am grateful, it makes me sad that they went after some of my friends however and I’m glad they seem to have stopped. Hopefully they will reflect on their actions and realize flaw in their own behavior.

I don’t expect apologies from them though it’d be nice if they do read this. “It Starts With Sorry” after all. 😉

I love story telling, writing and drawing. The fact I was able to Share Ninlil with you all and you all have been receptive and fell in love with her has made my heart full. I’m sorry I scared people with her almost death in the Last RP. I was not yet aware of the negativity being spread, otherwise I would’ve put a disclaimer stating her soon ascension. I have no plans to leave this platform anytime soon.

I love you all, and I hope you have a wonderful week, have plenty of food to fill your stomachs, may the weather be fair, and may you be surrounded and protected by joy and peace.

My heart bleeds and goes out to those who are unable to be in peace right now, and I hope they find peace soon.

☀️ What’s your rp pet peeve? ✦ Thoughts on duplicates following you? ☣️ Have you ever rp’d with someone you knew for a fact was abusive but tried to give them a chance/to make up your own opinion on the roleplayer? Did they change or did you understand what people were talking about? ♢ Has anyone ever tried to steal your blog? Your headcanons? Icons? All that jazz ♥️ What’s the WORST thing that has happened to you rp wise? ♦️ What was a mildly annoying thing that has happened to you rp wise? :**

the salty af munday meme

☀️ What’s your rp pet peeve?

Blog policing. Honestly, just let people do what they wanna do and enjoy their hobbies. I don't care if you don't like this character or that one. I don't care if this character is evil or problematic. You don't know the person behind the blog. Most people that play problematic characters honestly are the sweetest mods and nicest people, because they have things like empathy. Don't judge people by the characters they like, and just move the fuck on if you don't wanna see shit on your dash. It's honestly that simple.

✦ Thoughts on duplicates following you?

I'm happy for duplicates to follow me (tho I'm the only LepLep Rper I've seen around?), I just ask that they respect my headcanons and that they may differ from their own version of the character, and don't steal them or claim them as their own etc. I love how each and every person brings a unique flavour to canon characters, and we don't all have to agree on things, so long as we're respectful and can discuss things openly (I love my fellow Raphael Rpers and their versions of him! And I am also in awe of your portrayals!) I also think dupes can bounce ideas off each other and we can learn from each other as well. Does it comes with a little bit of insecurity at times? Absolutely! But as an adult, I know that's just the brain being silly, so you take a breath and you keep writing what you love. <3 I also acknowledge that I chose Haarlep over Raphael because I knew I couldn't do Raphael justice in the poetic department rofl. I've accepted that and moved on lol XD

☣️ Have you ever rp’d with someone you knew for a fact was abusive but tried to give them a chance/to make up your own opinion on the roleplayer? Did they change or did you understand what people were talking about?

I don't think so? I'm a pretty chill person, and I think me being antisocial helps keep the bad people away from me? Hahahaha. In saying that, I'm also fucking OBLIVIOUS to drama going on, so if I've followed someone that is apparently evil and bad, chances are I legit have no fucking clue about what's happened in fandom with them XD

♢ Has anyone ever tried to steal your blog? Your headcanons? Icons? All that jazz

In RP? No. Not to my knowledge. As for OC's, yes. I once had someone who took the very unique name of my character and they were VERY similar (same job, colour scheme), and I knew that they were a follower of mine and were reading my series, so it was a little obvious that they took HEAVY influence from my OC. I kindly asked them to rename their OC because the name I had literally made up (my character was named Karmashock in the Transformers fandom, which is an entirely made up unique name). They were good about it, which was good, and said that they didn't intend to steal my character, but the similarities were pretty obvious.

♥️ What’s the WORST thing that has happened to you rp wise?

I let an abusive person abuse me for far too long. For 3 years to be exact. I allowed them to corner me and isolate me because I was too empathetic and couldn't cut them off, always putting myself in their shoes and feeling guilty at the thought of wanting to stop communication with them. We were very close, and we talked pretty much every day, we had a really deep connection, but I now realise that they were a narcissist that guilt tripped me and manipulated me and was a massive gatekeeper. Worse, I wasn't the only one they were doing it to, they involved a mutual who I cared about a lot, and the both of us eventually confided in each other to what was going on, and we found comfort in that, as well as strength to finally break ties. This person was exceptionally jealous and forced me to change my entire blog to suit their jealousy and insecurity. It really fucked me up about getting close to people, though, and I keep my distance from everyone. I have, unfortunately, taught myself not to get close to people because eventually everyone leaves (or bad things happen). Sounds dumb, but it is what it is.

♦️ What was a mildly annoying thing that has happened to you rp wise?

I once drew fanart of my characters (my OWN two OC's), who were half siblings, and as a joke they were kissing. This person came into my IM's and started abusing me about my own two characters... because that's gross and winge winge winge about inc*st and all this other bullshit. One, it was a fucking joke with one of my friends, two... don't trauma dump on me, you're responsible for your own triggers, not me. Three, they're my own fucking characters so get fucked. Anyway, they wanted me to apologise, and I kindly told them to grow up and act like an adult. Do I condone inc*st? No, of fucking COURSE I DON'T! But apparently fiction and reality mean nothing to some people.

☙Not even joking you'll get the block❧

[Heya, Alex here. I'll begin by saying that I'm not new to RP. I've been in the RP scene since I was 14, and I'm 30, so yeah.

A couple of pointers...

I'm going to start by saying that I'm distant, I easily get burned out and I've got many hobbies besides RP. As such I won't make my life here.

Next, even though I'm taken in real life, my partner doesn't mind me writing smut with rpers, as long as it stays as writing.

I'm 30 and grumpy, I don't have patience for people bringing drama so please, keep it out or I will - look at the block sign-

{RP RULES, WARNINGS AND MUSES UNDER KEEP READING}

Rp rules

I admit I'm not a person of rules, but in the RP community for bad or for good it's needed so here I go:

1. No God mode, no fighting power RP's, blah blah, ya know the drill...

2. Smut will come with how captivated our characters get to one another. Chemistry and all.

3. Multiship. No, I won't accommodate or stay loyal. Forget it.

4. I'm a person of descriptions and paragraphs. You don't have to match this energy but you must give me something to work with.

5. No special requests, nothing of the sort. I'm here looking for someone to write with not to write for.

6. Conversation about limits before any NSFW or Dead Dove stuff.

7. Just... respect.

8. I'm not your emotional garbage. I've left RP because people loved using me as their emotional trash. I have problems of my own.

9. No minors. Just, don't even...

A warning:

This place gets triggering, it will, there's no reason to lie or omit. This place is partly for me to cope. I won't give details, I don't have to, so yeah...Dead Dovey as fuck.

Story-wise, listen...I'm not here for fluff, I'm not here for a boring slice-of-life tale. I'm here for intense interactions, fucked up relationships, complicated feelings, complex stories, and hard-heavy topics.

Anything short of a Melanie Martinez song or a Deftones album I'm not interested.

Cutesy dooty stuff is only for people I've been rping for a really long time and that I trust a lot. Which 99.9% of humanity isn't so...there's that.

We absolutely (prioritize and even make it a rule!) discuss limits and triggers, it's the most important part of rping. I will not do anything people aren't comfortable with unless they don't tell me - so communicate, please.

TW: dark humor, heavy topics like drugs, s*xual ab*se, r*pe, s*xual h*rassment, s*lf destruction (including narcotic abuse and self-h*rm), mentions of historical or past bigotry, violence, gore, psychological torment and abuse, dirty kinky s*x, hard pornographic and lewd topics, fantasies, paraphilia, BDSM, fetish...

Lastly, I don't agree or think like the characters I might rp, please, we are all ppl rping stuff we wouldn't do or believe in rl, let's not even pretend or be immature about this, yes?

Shipping:

Of course, I have preferences. But I can work with any character.

Oc friendly, throw them at me! Just don't expect me to become your OC info dump. It ain't gonna happen.

NSFW/Lewd limits: *No minor related shit, No fecal matter, no vomit, no forced impregnation.

*There might be mentions of past trauma but never descriptions of what exactly happened and how.

Rp practicalities:

> [ooc]

> "IC speech"

> Descriptions, actions, and behavior

> - Thoughts -

Characters I rp:

.Angel Dust🕷

.Blitz🦎

.Fizzarolli🤡

.Husk🐈‍⬛️

.Lucifer🍎

.Striker🐍

.Vox📺

Oc:

“ You do the dishes, I'll carry the load, to make up lost time, ”

Hello hello! 20m here, looking for a bittersweet rp between two ocs<3 I'm looking for semi-lit to lit rpers, two paragraphs per reply minimum! I'll drop the plot I have in mind below, and we can add or take from it in dms:]

“ The trash's to the brim and I'm scared of it, ”

Traveling the states is lonely. Muse A knows this, because he'd left when he was young. Turned eighteen, never went to college, and the road was his home since then, driving in some hand-me-down van that's held together by duct tape and dreams. He left everything behind to aim for something he hoped would work out for him.

“ But you always know just what to say . . . ”

Staying at home is lonely, too. Muse B knows this one all too well. He met muse A in highschool, and they were a thing, from sophomore to senior year. But then he left. Not a note, not a trace.

“ And I'm sorry, if I'm coming home too late. ”

Imagine his surprise, when it's raining, and pouring, and he hears three distinct knocks on his door.

There, hair dripping and clothes soaked, stood Muse A. "... Hey. Can I stay for the night?"

Things to keep in mind . . .

1. I'd like more than two replies a day!

2. Looking for someone who'd be willing to play as Muse B! How you make his character is up to you, he can be mean, or sweet, or anything between!

3. 19+ is my limit!

4. While it's not required, I really want a dead dove plot 😞 Bring me your dark characters! Or make new ones - whichever you'd want!!

[autumnslance]

Hey there, Aeryn! I was looking over your fiction writing and saw that you suggest to one writer that a break might be needed due to burnout, how long would you recommend? My personal question is when creating your characters do you write them separate from their in-game counterparts under a different name? Been wanting to play through the story but I struggle to do so as when an idea doesn’t work, the character suffers. Any advice?

I was looking over your fiction writing and saw that you suggest to one writer that a break might be needed due to burnout, how long would you recommend?

Burn out is dependent on each person, and their current circumstances. Real life can have a tendency to cause issues there, and it's important to not beat one self up too much about things outside of control. Handle what can be controlled, what you can change and adjust, and when you start to feel like "Man I want to create something again/I wish I could create something again" that's probably the sign, actually, you're wanting to get back in the creative saddle.

And it's going to be rough and feel difficult and like everything sucks, but you gotta push through that. I fully acknowledge my writing in 2017 and 2018 is much rougher and tentative, as I was getting past some of my own burnout and getting back into the swing of regular writing.

I've seen it likened to opening a long-closed gate in a dam; gotta let the stagnant stuff out before things really start to flow again.

My personal question is when creating your characters do you write them separate from their in-game counterparts under a different name?

Currently my main OCs have their same names in game as in my stories. You can actually find Dark Autumn, Aeryn Striker, C'oretta Khell, and Iyna Cauld on Coeurl. I have alts cuz I started playing before NG+ was a thing, I was an old school RPer who likes making new OCs, and I simply cannot ever fantasia Dark Autumn. None of the "supporting cast" OCs have in game representation (just Anamnesis files).

I don't worry too much about how the characters are in game versus in story. I make some vaguely almost IC decisions or choices based on some things, but even with the same names, the in game characters are just avatars I use for visuals; this is actually why I play Dark through MSQ first, to get my own knee-jerk reactions out of the way. Only sometimes my avatar in game as I play informs the ideas I thought I had for the OCs I write about. When playing Aeryn specifically, I end up thinking about how Aeryn would feel and react, and am often surprised. And then consider: is it worth trying to keep the original idea, or is the new idea better?

Which is how I ended up with a wolnpc ship I never intended, or how I realized she had a jealous streak. I just let the avatar vibe and decided if I wanted that to affect my story ideas or not. And there's plenty I do do in game that has nothing to do with my story portrayals, or vice versa.

But also not all character ideas are going to work, or even need to, and letting a character idea grow and change as you learn who they are and what you really want/need for them is fine.

@driftward actually might have some good advice there too, as her initial ideas for Nyx, written in an earlier FFXIV Write, didn't end up working out. Nor did an earlier miqo'te character that was fantasia'd into the elezen we now know and love as Zoissette Vauban. The stories and character info were written...and then reworked.

Sometimes it takes awhile to figure out what we want and how we go about it. Retcon is not a dirty word. If a character idea isn't working, think on why, and what needs to step back and adjust.

fawn • she/they • 25+ • discord oc rper • usfw; minors dni

WANTED PLOTS. • WANTED FCS. • WANTED OPPOSITES.

rules & more info below cut.

ocs only. third person only. 21+ only, 25+ preferred.

i'm currently only writing on discord. i may try to dip my feet into writing on tumblr someday, but not at the moment. i don't use any sort of formatting beyond usually writing in all lowercase, but i'm happy to do proper caps if you want, just ask. i don't use gifs. i do prefer to use tupperbox, and i'm happy to teach you how! but if you really hate using it that's not a dealbreaker for me and we don't have to.

i’ll match on length, though my standard is usually around 1-2 decent sized paragraphs, or a little longer if i’m establishing a scene or feeling particularly musey.

i play characters of all genders and will write any variety of ship. i do currently have slightly more muse for m/f ships with me as the female character, but that's not a hard and fast rule for me by any means. i am open to doing mumus or having multiple threads / ships, but usually prefer starting with just one to make sure we vibe before adding more.

please be comfortable writing smut, but not only smut. i need at least a little plot to keep things interesting.

i’m a great enjoyer of angst, messy fucked up characters, and kind of toxic relationships. fluff is fun but in moderation. however hard no’s on most things considered “t*boo” i.e. underage, inc*st, nonc*n, etc.

for genres i prefer slice of life / real life, oc celebs, rich kids, crime-related, urban fantasy, supernatural creatures, etc. i’m not interested in period settings, high fantasy, or heavy sci-fi.

when we first begin writing together i have a strong preference for rapidfire threads or at least a few replies a week, otherwise i tend to lose muse easily.

that being said, sometimes life happens and i’m happy to be patient if you need a break as long as you do the same for me. i never delete a server unless my partner fully leaves it, so if you do have to go inactive for a while feel free to come back at any time.

please give equal energy when we’re plotting. don’t just say “i love that” without elaborating further. rp is meant to be collaborative and i don’t want to be doing all the work.

FAQ

Hello~ I'm Queenie and this post is just to answer some basics!

How old are you?

I'm over 21!

Who do you write with?

I'm open to writing with anyone, provided they are 21+ as well. No hate to anyone younger, I just feel more comfortable interacting with blogs closer to my age. This also takes care of any smut on this blog, though that will probably be more selective. I will write with multis and OCs as long as we talk beforehand to plot.

I love pre-established relationships too, so please feel free to come into my DMs and ask! Think your muse met mine at some point? Think they were friends/enemies/rivals/pickle ball partners? Hit me up and we can discuss it!

A NOTE FOR BILL RPers: I write Ford as canonically having had a thing with the triangle back in the day, but hating him post canon. That can be as messy and dramatic as we want it to be, but if you come into my ask box with a Bill trying to be shippy, Ford will not reciprocate UNLESS we have discussed it beforehand. Relationships always vary by blog, of course, so there are some exceptions but if we've never spoken OOC, I will always write present day Ford as hating Bill and rebuffing his advances. Now that being said, I WELCOME those asks regardless because they're usually fun to interact with, but I just don't want someone to feel disappointed with an ask they sent because they expected something else.

Do you tag posts?

Yes! And if there's anything you'd like me to tag, let me know! I'm open to whatever. I have a tag dump of my tags to keep things organized here .

Ships?

I am not against ships on the this blog provided they're discussed and there's chemistry! My Ford is pretty fluid and I like to write stuff like that. That said, I'm not interested in writing Stancest on this blog. I have nothing against it (and even DID write it once upon a time) but don't really want to anymore. That being said, I won't tolerate hate on this blog for ANY ship. Let people live their lives. Me not being interested does not equal being cool with people policing how others interact with media.

How active are you?

Ehh? Moderately. I'm an adult with a job and a life so I'm not here all the time, but I'm fairly responsive and will try to keep replies as frequent as possible. Don't be afraid to gently remind me if I owe you something. Just be nice about it!

Will you write with blogs who write your muse?

YES! I love writing with other Fords, because we as writers already have something in common: we love this nerd. Please don't be afraid to approach me for plots with another Ford!

Do you just write canon!Ford?

Nope! In fact, I have an ever evolving verses list here that will keep growing!

All in all, be chill and respectful and we'll get along fine. I'm open to plotting and talking ooc as well so don't be afraid to say hi!

🤩 Who is someone in your rpc that you admire?

Unconventional munday asks!

🤩 Who is someone in your rpc that you admire?

(( aside from yourself? owo. whose positivity and passion is ALWAYS inspiring? well, i'm gonna limit myself to listing a few people here because if i list everyone, i will be here ALL day -

@midgarwhispers | amazing plots, mature & down to earth discussion, incredible writing, interesting muse, great GREAT dynamics, lovely ooc chat. i have so much admiration for this sweet lil carbuncle ( i say lil, she a giant ) - i've just had so many fun discussions and plots this year with her & ooc-wise, i cannot stress how kind & lovely she is. i just - urgh - 10/10 - massively recommend.

@stingslikeabee | when wont i waffle on about mari and how much i love her? you want mature, well-written content? you want an interesting oc who can squeeze into any kind of universe? you want a down-to-earth, interesting & intelligent mun with whom you can chatter everything from adult chat to films & culture? mari's a legend. i will forever simp.

@cloudvii | anything sayj touches turns to gold, honestly. not to say cloud wasn't already gold but - look - i admire sayj's passion and interest in their muses. their headcanons are in depth and powerful, but they're never without reason. like - they always make sense & make you do a double take and a little 'ahhhh!' when you read them because they're so interesting & in tune with the character. i just really adore what sayj does with the characters that they pick up. and their respect / appreciation for og? *mwah*.

@phoenix-flamed | hot damn, vonny. where do i even begin? i didn't follow vonny until fairly recently-ish. i jumped on them on my sylv blog and was barely there so HAD to grab em with heid and i just- the rpc should consider itself blessed to have such a wonderful write & a wonderful person in their midst. vonny's elwin is so incredibly weaved that i would read a book about him written by them; i always admire someone who picks up a side-character but someone who then gives that side character a well-crafted story, interesting headcanons and pushes it all with infectious enthusiasm and passion? sign me the F up. like, GODDAMN. and as a person? vonny is so incredibly sweet, someone i'd love to bug more honestly because wow. & on a personal note, someone who did something recently for me that really helped me in a great & personal way. i just - <3 - so much love and respect in my soul for this one.

@svnsworn | light is somebody who if you say to me 'recommend a user', im gonna recommend her. she jumps to the forefront of my mind like a lil froggy. i always mess up when trying to run multis but she makes it look EASY. the AMOUNT of times that light has told me a headcanon about a character and i've gone 'holy shit! of course!' she has that knack for spotting those details, and then expanding on them. and no matter who she chooses - from leon to luna - she injects this love & insight into them that they truly deserve. she's really incredible and there isn't a day i wouldn't recommend her. and as a person? light is always lovely. like, alwAYS.

@rikelusshinra & @ofgeneticperfection & @ivory-paragon & @steeleidolon | I DIDN'T WANNA KEEP LISTING EVERYONE CAUSE IF I DO THAT I'LL CRY CAUSE THERE'S SO MANY AMAZING PEOPLE TO WRITE AMAZING THINGS ABOUT BUT I DID WANNA MENTION THESE GUYS -

i look at them and i see original final fantasy vii. i see a love and passion for the media that has spanned years. i see these unique insights into characters / ocs & i just admire them a lot. i see them as being like, the people that all ffvii rpers should look up to and aspire to be. i just admire them a lot & love seeing them on my dash.

Hi, I don't mean to be cheeky but you're not exactly writing dark fic as in yandere level. I have gone through all your stories and it seems au or Aemond acting OOC and everything is clearly labelled for triggers etc. You're a good writer with a wide level of interesting concepts and ideas. Aemond is so called dark but I think your interpretation is interesting and well done. What I'm trying to say is your content is pretty tame without seeming like a bitch about it - if people are complaining about it being too dark then I think they're just trolling or whining about nothing. If you're worried about crossing the line you don't have to - dubcon etc is really common and if it's labelled correctly then it's fine. It's not the type of thing I seek out but you're just writing it as a fic it's not like you're writing pedo fic for your own sexual gratification. As long as you don't write pedo rape fic or stuff sexually abusing animals or rape stories because you feel like raping etc in real life then you're ok. I'm saying this because I am a RPer and there is a male RPer I have had hassle with, (he harassed young females in the community for a long time and has returned under a new URL) and he focuses on threads involving rape, incest, forced breeding, sexual abuse of minors all within a Hotd setting. These are his preferences and what he is personally attracted to. He is acting out his fantasies of he hasn't done it in real life yet. There is warnings about him and he stalks his victims in RL if he finds out their details. His argument is he is into dark content which is bs. It's just his own sexual gratification because that's what he gets off to. That's real dark content. He doesn't care about triggering his fellow RPers either. I'm sorry for rambling but if you tag and label, and keep within boundaries of dark content without it being like him as a comparison then you're ok. RP rules are different to writing fic as it's stricter, things like pro shipping etc don't fly in certain circles and GIFs are not allowed for taboo subjects nor do we gif minors. But you seem worried about crossing lines so it might be useful to set boundaries for your own writing?

hey anon!

thank you for your story. I am sorry you went through that with that one person:(. RP (Roleplay, right?) is supposed to be a fun, nice way to make new friends with your shared interests and he ruined it. I will mind my step for sure, just in case my work somehow attracts him (i dont think so, as i have the habit to age all characters up, so Aemond is often in his early twenties and ocs are often too) ((for my own comfort) I should def set some boundries with writing, i feel like maybe a weekly day to update could be great for starters. I also want to write maybe less dark but at the same time i dont xD. but thanks for your story and giving me resurrence that i dont cross any lines. Im always really worried about that. I wish it wasnt so bad (me caring what others think) but here we are.

thank you, anon.

I hope you found better friends to rp with (if we can even call that person a friend....nope xD) and that you have a good day. your texts made me feel better:)

[cewyll]

hii! i found your blog by accident and i'm mesmerized. i used to play rp on twitter and i really wanted to start doing the same here but idk where to start. could you please give me some tips?

oh hey, thank you so much for reaching out! :D i'll admit i'm not as active on this blog as on others, but it makes me happy to have reached you nonetheless. <3

i'd be delighted to give you some tips to start out! it's definitely a process that feels a bit alien at first, but over time you get a feel for it. :>

i am soooo sorry in advance, this is going to be super long — you picked a wordy bitch to ask 😂 but i'll try to format this in a way that's easier to read!

take your time to go through stuff & no need to read or absorb it all right away. feel free to keep this post bookmarked to look back on whenever you need it as well.

💖 welcome to raine's stupidly-long guide to starting tumblr rp! 💖 qualification: i've had this blog for 11 years. fml disclaimer: still all just from my perspective, i'm just one gal with opinions hehe

start out by making a new blog for your character. (i wouldn't recommend starting out with a sideblog personally, since you can't send asks from them). choose a url that feels relevant. i'm always a fan of the ol "smush two words together that sound nice" technique — ie, my other blogs are huntershowl and icarusplunged — which never seems to fully go out of style. really you can do whatever feels right to you :)

the most important part of setting up an rp blog is creating a rules page and, if you're writing an OC, an about page. the rules set up your boundaries, your wants and don't wants, anything you want someone to know before they follow you. the about page should give new partners everything they need to know about your character — personality, appearance, setting/lore, any backstory you want to display publicly.

feel free to look around at different rpers' rules pages and use them as inspiration! as long as nothing is copypasted and everything is your own original content, which brings me to etiquette.

etiquette!

'tis largely an Unspoken Thing in the rpc (rp community), and breaching it can def make people feel uncomfortable (even though that's something that Should be in rules pages, most of us forget haha). here are the things i can think of off the top of my head:

the way to reach out to new people is simply to follow them. that's all you gotta do! if they don't follow back, don't push, just unfollow them after a few weeks and move on. it's almost never personal!

in that vein, if someone's blog is private/selective/mutuals-only, wait to interact until they follow back.

once they do, it's up to you how you want to move forward — usually i'll wait until they post some sort of interaction call for you to like. a starter call, a plotting call, orrrr if they reblog an ask meme (which is like a list of sentence prompts! you can choose one from the list and send it as an ask, which they can use as an rp starter.) you can also just IM them though :)

don't reblog non-rp content (ask memes, quotes/imagery, etc) directly from another rp blog, it clogs up their notifications! just reblog from the original post instead.

don't interact with other people's threads (liking or reblogging, but feel free to read them and talk about them ooc!), and only respond to a starter if it's labeled as open — otherwise it was probably written for another rper specifically.

try not to prod people too hard if they haven't responded in a while. some folks are okay with being reminded about a forgotten thread a few weeks after replies stall out.

always tag nsft (not safe for tumblr, the other acronym gets flagged/hidden) and very upsetting content — gore, SA or abuse mentions, etc. i've seen some people starting to use "dead dove do not eat" as a catch-all for super dark content, but honestly that phrase gives me the heebiest of jeebies so i prefer to go with individual tags

general platformless rp etiquette rules apply: don't steal other people's content, don't assume or control the other character's actions/thoughts/etc.

be kind to each other, most of all. communicate when you have a problem with someone, rather than making a vague/callout post about them. that being said, i'm a proponent of the block button — blocking people is okay! it's not a big deal. this is a hobby space and no one is entitled to you. advocate for yourself!!

okay that was a long section, whew! lil break. take a sip of water. have a snack mayhaps.

now: RP STRUCTURE (the fun part)

we don't really do "script" style rp on tumblr — it'll usually, if not always, be in prose/paragraph form. formatting is a fun touch, but not necessary. as you can see, i'm using small text here with some little chunks of text in bold/italic or regular size text to add some visual interest. again, not necessary! experiment, figure out what you like!

lots of people will use icons of different sizes — 100x100 is the most common, but they really do vary. i would suggest going smaller rather than bigger (like don't use full post-width gifs or icons, try to keep them under half the size of the post? that's the most common vibe at least.)

icons can be used to "illustrate" your character's expression among a bunch of text, if you want Visual Spice. but they are soooo not necessary! totally up to you.

here are some examples of my icon styling!

there are lots of rp resources out here for cool coloring psd's and graphic templates for ya blog. create something fun and pretty that you like! <3

to reply to a thread, reblog it and add your post.

important: i highly recommend downloading and installing XKIT in your browser. it's an extension that lets you trim posts to the last two reblogs (common around here), customize your blog experience, and just makes it a lot easier to exist on tumblr haha.

ummmm i think that's it actually! you're finally free of my rambling. i really hope this helped!! please let me know if you have any questions, and gimme a follow when you start up a blog — i'd be happy to help you out however i can.

Harmony has more work put into her than alot of OC's I seen, and I love seeing more POC muses around that aren't just anime characters. Nice seeing fellow dark skinned rpers and or characters. You put alot of work into her as well, you should be proud of how talented and cute, and funny Har is.

You certainly inspire me to keep going.

[ Hi, Anon!

You sent me this a little while ago. I'm sorry I haven't had the chance to answer it until now. I hope you will see this. Thank you very much for your kind words. As an Indigenous person, it is good to see more people be more diverse with their muses! That includes OCs. I try to do what I can to represent my identity and well as Harmony's in an accurate and respectful manner. My hope is that Harmony encourages people to consider having more diverse muses.

I do what I can to make Harmony fun to have around. I'm so glad you find her likable. Sometimes, I worry if she comes off as annoying but I know the truth: There are people who enjoy having her around and that is always more than enough.

Your ask adds all the more reason to keep working on her. Though, I have you and all my friends and followers to thank for making her so well-developed. Your involvement both ic and ooc made a huge difference in how Harmony is as a character.

So, thank you for your support and interactions! You are absolutely wonderful! Please keep going with your work and with your muses!]
