now presenting a review for lasriohq !

          @lasriohq​​, a 21+ plotless, small town rp based on tumblr

first impression

my eyes took a minute to adjust to your icon and figure out what it was, but it’s pretty! i love your theme and the aesthetics, i feel like it’s going to really fit what you’re all about!! onto the plot!

the plot

um, wow, i love the plot! also, you okay’ed grammar check and i literally didn’t notice any mistakes in your plot except a “>” typoed into the third paragraph. wow! i swear, i always catch an error in plots, lol. 

i think the only suggestion i’d have is to make the part about the Peshlakai family its own paragraph the way the Espinoza’s is! so, “... both of which felt they would provide the best for the town. / BREAK HERE / The Peshlakai family housed on the East side of the river was known for their love of nature.” i think it would just help set focus on them after mentioning that they’re feuding.

i think your plot is the perfect length! no unnecessary wordiness. it tells me all i need to know, and is the perfect amount of detail without being too much. i love it!

the details

your rules look clear and complete to me! however, some of the links that are meant to be in place are missing.

your navigation is BEAUTIFUL!!! i love the page, i love how easy it is to look through <3 all of your pages are fantastic, honestly! i miss this level of dedication from roleplays.

one thing i expected to find but didn’t was if characters from the two families could be played, and if yes, what their exact ethnicities are! we can make assumptions from the plot and their names, but it’d be good to have it clearly stated. :) 

you have locations on the topbar, but it’s not on the navigation page, so i’d add that on <3 same with the neighborhoods, it is in the mobile nav but nowhere else.

love love love your sideblogs!

organization

your organization is great because of your use of page themes! i think your use of pages is really setting you apart. everything is so easy to look through, navigate, and read! 

atmosphere

i love this atmosphere! you all seem sooo lovely. i can tell through your posts alone that you are friendly, caring, and excited about your roleplay! through messages that is even clearer. y’all are very sweet! i think you’re setting up a lovely atmosphere anyone would be happy to roleplay in. 

i really do like mun caps, personally. however, you mentioned being worried about traffic not coming through, and i would like to point out that sometimes mun caps actually scare people off instead of drawing them in. it can create a sense of fear of them either not being good enough to get in, being worried about not being active enough to take a spot, make people think the group is cliquey, or too small to join in on the fun, etc! so that could be taking a part in why there’s less traffic

accessibility

i don’t have much thought on the activity limit, i think it’s in a good time range. besides, i have the feeling you’re the type of admins to be helpful with those that may need more time!

your page is PERFECT for accessibility. everything is very easy to read, easy to find. literally the ONLY thing i’d recommend is changing the text color on this nav

diversity

on your pinned post about acceptances, i’d change “POC FC’s only” to “FC’s of color only” 

there’s no rule in the guidelines about diversity, and that’s something i typically really appreciate. 

however, your taken faceclaims so far are absolutely lovely! love to see it!

tumblr: theme/graphics

i LOVE your theme and page themes! one thing i noticed you could edit is that your pages backgrounds are all white, but your main theme is black. not only does it mess with the flow of your theme, it can be a little hard on the eyes.

if there was anything i’d change about the graphics, it’d just be the fonts. the two main fonts i see being used don’t match each other, and the font used on things like “Pinned Post” doesn’t match the plot either, it feels very 1920′s. also, the brush font seems a bit outdated. but hey, we are feeling nostalgic for the old days, so why not? lol

however, if you like the look of a brush theme, i like these ideas with your theme and graphics:

here, here, here

for the non-scripted font, that would match the ones linked above (i really love the middle one and think it’d look LOVELY with your plot):

here, here, here

overall

i can’t see why you don’t have more traffic or more apps, really. i’m going to pm you about promoing, perhaps!

because i really loved everything about this! anyone interested in a town rp with some spicy familial drama behind it to push events would love it too.
