#like dark superhero vibes with eldritch horror

[dykekarkat]

thinking about the full miraculous au rewrite i will never get around to writing where becoming a miraculous holder always leads to insanity because you are taking a God into your brain for extended periods of time and eventually there's nothing left of you besides that God and it would b eldritch horror esque while giving marinette a valid reason to just go fucking crazy on everyone she wants fr

Comics

I have found myself falling down the hole of binging comics on Hoopla.

There's a wide variety of stuff, involving non-humans and/or queer relationships.

Save Yourself

By Bones Leopard and illustrated by Nichole Matthews, Kelly Matthews

Super cute, queer-filled story about magical girls who are bad guys and the monsters that fight them are, often, the good guys.

The story is about humans realizing the magical girls are evil, after a young woman saves a mysterious stranger from the superheroes.

There is a character death that takes place in the past and a death that happens on screen, but it's not bloody. Victim is just gone.

Art was bright and cheerful. Had a cartoon vibe about it, so nothing explicit or gorey. Again, super cute.

The Me You Love in the Dark

By Skottie Young and illustrated by Jorge Corona

Definite monster fucker story. It's a horror story with gore and domestic abuse vibes.

An artist rents a creepy house in the Midwest to renew her ability to paint. An being (ghost, I think, but form is more eldritch horror) lives in the house that the artist makes contact with.

Don't Call Me Dirty and Don't Call Me Daddy

Both stories created and illustrated by Gorou Kanbe

No monsters involved, but is full of gay characters.

Dirty is about a 26-year-old liquor store clerk befriending a houseless man. The clerk is known by those around him as gay and is even in a relationship with another man. Though that man ends up breaking things off with him. The concept of "dirty" is applied to both the clerk and houseless man, one in a homophobic sense and the other in a physical literal sense.

Daddy is actually about the clerk's father and a long-time friend. The long-time friend actually was helping the father raise his son for a time, but felt horrible that his son thought he and the father were married.

Both of these made me cry. Hiding your own feelings from yourself, apologizing to others for who you are, just wanting to be loved, being given kindness of facing cruelty for so long. Just oof.

I highly rec both of these, if you can get over some art issues. (Occasionally, the characters have, like, super tiny hands.)

The Song of Yoru & Asa

By Harada

Gay relationship, but no monsters.

Oh my goodness, this had very explicit sex scenes. Haha. I was not prepared for that when reading.

This one is about two guys who are in a band together. Asa can be mean at times and Yoru can be pushy about sex. But it just feels more like a dynamic than serious problems.

TW for sex still happening even when one or other tells the other to stop. (They don't seem to mind or have problems with it, but in one instance it does result in pee, so... yeah. I kind of wish they talked about having a safe word so they know for sure to stop.)

Oh, TW for self-harm attempt, as well. There's a stalker fan who pulls out a blade to cut herself with when she's rejected.

Art was really good in this one.

Kiss Me, Satan!

by Victor Gischler and illustrated by Juan E. Ferreyra

Yes, monsters are involved. No queer people, though. :(

Demon is trying to get back into heaven and is given a mission to help a witch flee the werewolf mafia. Interesting premise, but it falls prey to misogynistic tropes and art.

There's four women characters the demon guy is supposed to be keeping safe. Three of them die. The last one ends up fucking the main guy.

Art is relatively good, if you're into comics with more of a western feel. There are gratuitous shots of ladies' underwear during fights or unnecessary nudity.

Story is intriguing, but I kind of feel it was more of a guy power fantasy. You eventually see the guy's demon form and it's pretty kick ass.

TW for gore, death, and discussions of killing a baby.

Local nerd in search of angstTM

Hello! My name is Owl, I am over 20 living in Europe. It has been a while since I've had a satisfying 1x1 roleplay that wasn't in a group or TTRPG setting and I am really hoping to find something I enjoy again! That being said, let's get into some basics!

THE BASICS

I play 3rd person paragraph. I tend to match partner length, but I like having more than a sentence to reply to!

I try to reply at least a few times a week, with maybe some days in there where we're lucky and can have a rapid fire chain.  

I prefer playing female OC's, but I have an army of OC's I am down to use, ranging in sexuality, gender, ethnic background, personality and even setting!

I do not double a lot, but I think other characters are very important to drive a story forward sometimes. I am down for trying whatever my partner wants. 

I like mostly F//F and F//M

I like moodboards, playlists and making art of my characters or other's characters or even scenes in rp! 

I love OOC chatter. Send me memes, talk about plot, show me art. Throw sad or angsty ideas, it's all good!

I do not do smut. Sorry! I'm not saying characters will never pork in rp, I just don't want to play it out. Fade to black is fine!

SETTING

I love both original and fandom settings!

Fandom

Harry Potter

A:tla and A:lok

Puella magi madoka magica

Naruto (oof i know but childhood nostalgia yo) 

The Mortal instruments / Shadowhunters

World of darkness (white wolf games) 

Dragon Age

The witcher

MCU

Original

High fantasy (ala DND, I think it'd be kinda cool to rp using dice as well, adds an element of unpredictability

Horror - give me cool gothic settings. Small quiet towns where eldritch horrors hide in the misty forests. Abandoned churches looming over a desolate landscape. Yes. Creepy... small town... horror

Urban fantasy - Doesn't necessarily have to be dark but... given my love for world of darkness content... I kinda do dig that. Vampires, werewolves, fay, all that good shit in a gritty urban setting is great

Magical girls! But preferably with a bit of a dark twist cause I live for angst. 

Superheroes!!!! I eat that shit up!

Random characters who have never gotten a full arc

Weird, but maybe some of these appeal to you? Maybe you have a character that would vibe well with them? A plot that fits their story? Hmu!

Vall - A drow druid who through a series of unfortunate events ended up having to raise herself alone in the woods. She is feral, unused to contact and just a mess. Her unlucky ass got captured and ended up in a gladiator arena. In her original story, her arc was all about redemption, having to step up to become a hero, yet she always felt like she was bad because of her actions in the arena. 

Lieve - A newly turned vampire who misses the sun. Oh how she misses it. She is a hippie, with a background in abusing drugs but also being a chronic do-gooder and promoter of change. It is love however that lead her to make some even more questionable choices. The man who turned her into a vampire is now gone, and will be for a while, and she has to find a new purpose in this strange new... and dark... world. 

I am however not stuck to these characters of course! I play anything under the sun and am more than down for developing new OCs for out RP. 

THEMES AND LIMITS

If it wasn't clear yet, I love dark content. Drama, angst, hurt/comfort and action/adventure are things I love to have in rp. I'm okay with almost all subjects. 

I tend to get bored rather quick, so I like my rps action packed and engaging. Slice of life tends to get dull to me quickly. That doesn't mean that it has to be high paced all the time obviously, but I do enjoy a lot of things happening. 

I also love subjects of found family, redemption and power being in vulnerability and kindness. It's good shit. But also not a must. 

WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR

18+ preferably

Someone who loves angst and action and will keep me on my toes! Here for shooting those messages of "oh I just had a horrible idea >:3c" 

3rd person paragraph, reply at least once a week. 

Either play OC or Canon characters! I don't mind which!

Open for OOC banter and plotting

Will let me know when they have to disappear or lost interest, it's fine! 

HIT ME UP!

I do like it if you send me what part of my ad you were interested in, or immediately pitch me ideas or plots you like! It gets me psyched and lets me know you really are interested! 

My email is : Syrupowls@gmail.com 

Contact me there, but if you prefer to rp somewhere else that is fine with me! I'll move with you!

Species: cursed/blessed human

url: seereclipse

inspirations: manic pixie dream girl archetype, cool grl monologue, ‘tiny tyrannical tomboy’, modern day witches, fallen-angels, valkyries, ‘strong girl™’, jean grey, female brawlers, the activist social media stars/comedians the one who sees death. teenage atlas. god is a teenage girl.

abilities, information

form a: “normal” form, she looks like a normal nineteen year old. she has telekinesis, light blasts, telepathy and minor healing though it hurts her too.

form b: “hallmark card form” she has lovely white silvery wings that reach out. her skin glows slightly from the inside and she has a translucent halo above her head that you can notice when it catches the light. her powers are stronger and her healing is stronger as well. however, she starts to lose herself and has to try to keep herself centered.

form c: eldritch horror form. in this form she gets a second pair of eyes below her original pair and all two pairs of eyes glow bright white. her wings expand. when she opens her mouth, not only does it glow white, but she can’t speak words, she insteads communicates through telepathy and mental images. the only words you hear from her are screeches. alina can rarely control herself in this form, and in this form she just wants to do good, but her good is only based around making people ‘feel better’ and she can grow deranged. in this form alina either knocks herself out or she just can’t control herself. when she reverts to normal, she’ll feel very very cold and sick and will want to be alone.

abilities, what she can actually do

empathy: alina has the ability to feel the emotions of other people like their her own, she does not have the ability to manipulate or change people’s feelings but she knows it’s there. she has a form of off-brand telepathy because she can hear the thoughts associated with them. in her normal form it’s a humdrum in her head, and she can try to ignore it.

resurrection: an extreme factor of this is the ability to resurrect others, she can bring someone back by ‘restarting’ their body. however this has major consequences, for the person resurrected they’d most likely be traumatized because they remembered they died and have trouble with remembering what happened before them and that’s assuming she does everything perfectly. if her resurrection isn’t perfect they can be a half-dead, half-alive thing and it’s painful. for alina herself, resurrection drains her of nearly all her energy and will usually pass-out right where she is and be placed in a hospital. 

muse info, in-depth (opt.)

vibe she gives off: brown goth taylor swift. beautiful in that ‘edgy not like other girls way’ has a wild look about her due to her lack of care of her appearance. tends to look younger than she is due to a round face and dimples.  every arctic monkey’s fan manic pixie dream girl fantasy. boho goth. has that kind of infectious laugh that warms people up to her.

backstory:

born in paris, france. her mother, anais, was an artist and college professor and her father, steve, was a retired american soldier. they decided to live in paris because anais wanted to watch her grandparents, but anais was also a part of a criminal gang of people who abused their powers and anais didn’t think it was time for her to leave paris yet.

alina’s childhood was mostly that of a nice jewish girl, she spent her saturdays with her grandmother and her life-partner, spent her days as a figure skater. she was your typical tomboyish child and had a lot of male friends.

she saw her powers on her twelfth birthday when she could move things with her brain and feel people’s emotions. she hated it, and had trouble controlling it. her mother revealed her own powers and made alina feel better with herself.

she got her ‘curse’ six months later. she was snuck out of her house to meet a friend so they could visit a haunted location without their parents knowing. they walked down the street hand in hand terrified of the dark but excited. however, her friend got hit by a drunk driver and alina could hear was a ‘thump’

understandably, alina was emotionally devastated and tried to use her powers to keep him with her, but he died and alina was attempting to bring him back but she couldn’t. another magi happened to see her, or sense her, and asked if she wanted to be able to help him. alina said yes, and the next thing she knew, she woke up in a hospital, her parents were furious (but happy she’s okay) and she learned her friend was in critical condition.

when alina visited him, she could hear his emotions and all she could feel was him hating her because of the fact that she put him in pain. he later died due to ending life support and alina felt guilty.

in general alina wanted everyone to think she was cool, and became a popular girl in high school. she was not a mean girl but she was one of those people who hung out with a lot of people both out of a genuine care and out of a ‘look at how cool and nice i am, i’m hanging out with nerds !! ‘ she got into acting in fourteen and her first role was as a younger sister in an indie movie.

her mom left when she was fifteen and left them a note explaining her past and saying bad people caught up with her and that she would either be dead or arrested. her mom leaving devastated alina and her father and her father turned to drinking and eventually left to go back to america, leaving alina to live with her grandmother.

alina was depressed and angry and that left her in a vulnerable position. when she was sixteen she met a twenty-one year old musician who complimented her on her musical taste and that was enough for alina to fall in love. in a few weeks alina showed him her winged form and he didn’t leave her and loved her for it. showing that he had the ability to manipulate blood. at the time alina was trying to be a good quiet girl for her grandmother and the perfect dream girl for everyone else and hayden wsa a chance for alina to feel herself. and after six months she moved in with him.

originally their crimes were just minor vandalization and armed robbery, alina was angry about what happened to her mother that she thought that humans in general, but more specifically ‘authority figures’ deserved it. she also wanted to impress her boyfriend.

because they gained a bit of a reputation in the criminal underworld they became closer to guns for hire.

alina started to lose faith when she saw an innocent witness killed in front of her and ended up staying out of fear rather than belief.

a few months ago, hayden thought she was going to the police so he killed her by poisoning her and put her body in a box and put a box in the river, but she was still alive. when she was eventually found and put in the hospital the headlines was ‘young actress suffers horrific assault’ she got a job offer in new york and she’s going there. she’s thinking about going to college but doesn’t see the point.
