#not necessarily in the RP scene of course

Anonymous asked: In the past few days I saw more people open to share their ship preferences for their muses, but most of the tiers (more like all of them) don't include Dainsleif yet. So question for the mun! what do you look for in order to ship? and if it's easy for you to respond, who would you ship Dainsleif with?

I hope you know what you're in for, nonnie— as this is going to be a ride that may contain some salt.

What I look for first and foremost when it comes to shipping is plausibility. Yes, I'm aware that some muns may go like "oh, I like this character so I'd like to ship them with my muse and see if that works" and that's perfectly fine. I am no different in having these thoughts myself, but 95% of the times I ignore them for other reasons that will be stated later. Dain himself is a complicated muse with unique circumstances and background. If the likelihood of him not interacting with a great part of the cast in ways that it becomes meaningful and under normal circumstances is high, you can imagine how it must be the case of shipping.

Which leads me to the next point: because of Dain's complications it is hard to build something with strong foundations that won't crumble at the earliest scenario of him not providing what's expected in a healthy relationship. He has many ghosts of his past and the present time, a mission that was given by someone else or self-imposed that goes above everything ���even himself, as he clearly states that doesn't relish his solitude in Shenhe's miscellany or that he knows about the heartache of the Adepti in Xiao's miscellany, which clearly belies the fact that he's ignoring things he would've preferred for himself for the sake of a grander scheme than himself—, a great trauma of the past that intertwines with self-hatred and guilt. He won't accept easily that someone in the know of all these things would still choose him. There is the Abyss that can warp his senses even if he's done a great job for the past centuries in remaining sane. There is a curse that goes with a chronic physical pain and even more ghosts to add in his mind that exist or the abyssal factors of the curse will ingrain in his mind. And there is the possibility that the Sinner is part of said ghosts in his mind, given that he might be the one who narrates Dain's introduction based on Chinese word choices to say who the author is.

In order for a ship to work with him, the other part has to be aware of all these things and even so be willing to stay by his side —more metaphorically-speaking than personally, because they'll be in for long periods of absence from Dain's part alone and most certainly that other person will have their own responsibilities too—. I love to ship romantically as the next person as much as it looks like I'm adding layers and layers of difficulty to do that, but I don't want to step over key aspects of what makes Dain who he is just for the sake of shipping at risk of making it incredibly shallow and without substance. Because one of the things that I look for in a ship is also development: for every muse in particular and in a personal way and together as a pair.

This is why I'm terribly iffy about ships that not only erase Dain's autonomy, but also ignore completely his own principles for the sake of shipping such as Dainsleif / Kaeya when the latter goes the Abyss road and in all this design Dain is just someone who is there without any word in anything other than to serve. Yes, he was a knight that served royalty in Khaenri'ah. But he isn't some mindless puppet who would throw away everything he worked for or the honor of others who he believes is being walked over unfairly like, guess what, the Abyss Order does. And something in a similar vein happens with the ship of either Lumine or Aether as the Abyss counterpart of the Traveler and Dain in a romantic ship, only that I've seen worse here to the point where they would do with him as they please and treat him unkindly while ignoring completely that he's not only an intelligent individual with vast knowledge, but also strong whose power is indirectly praised by someone of the likes of Skirk.

The last thing I look for in a ship (but not any less important) is communication. Extensive communication with the mun. For one I like to build ships from the very beginning and see how they evolve over the course of time and events our muses are subjected. But I'm also aware that we're adults with responsibilities and priorities other than a hobby that might make this incompatible, and still the interest of creating a meaningful ship is there. Which is why, for me, communication is equally as important as the aforementioned points. If I can't talk with the mun, how am I going to know their feelings on what's happening as our muses progress? There is a void left in my chest at the thought that I can't gush about things that happen with my RP partner in question which I have encountered in the past when I was less experienced in RP and more driven to what the majority used to do— but it simply doesn't work with me. If we won't be able to do things from scratch in a linear way, I want to have the opportunity to talk to my partner and at least build it through extensive discussions. Later on we can always jump in various points of our muses' timeline to observe in IC ways how certain things go. But... communication is simply a must to me. And if I happen to not mesh well with the mun for whatever reason (but still not to the point where IC interactions becomes incompatible, as we can still do IC things without necessarily ever talk if that's how it works between us) or lack that chance to talk things through with them... as much as I hate to say it, I won't ship it no matter how compatible our muses are.

Lastly, and this will be complicated to say so I'll just stick to what I've found the most compatible with Dain to have solid examples. The most 1:1 character I've found that Dain can be compatible with in Genshin is Neuvillette, without a sliver of doubt. There are others that would work well and that I don't necessarily ship (although I wouldn't turn the other way if it were suggested to me) like Xiao. Another 1:1 character I've found compatible with Dain that hilariously is all the way in HSR is Blade.

alright fuck it. i can't sleep and i need to talk about this scene from the last episode of critical role.

because holy shit if this ain't some of the best rp – nay, storytelling in general – that i've ever seen. (buckle up, it ain't gonna be short.)

laudna: i made you a doll. because dolls are for children. and you're a child.

the way she says this is not nice! it's biting, it's snarky. she definitely seems to mean it as an insult – and she probably does! – at first. but laudna's idea of a child is much more expansive than just a cheep insult, as she makes clear shortly.

then ashton's response: i've never had a doll before. this is the nicest thing anyone's ever given me.

i don't know if this reaction melts laudna a little (if it does, she doesn't show it visibly), or maybe she was already coming to the conversation with a more nuanced definition of 'child', but either way, the conversation shifts immediately – and the next two sentences clarify where they're both coming from here.

laudna: i like children. // ashton: i don't.

she likes children! and we knew this, of course. marisha, the god of intentional rp showed us this within the first few moments of laudna's screen-time way back in episode 1. but still! it's worth repeating. despite the bite of her initial comment to ashton, she doesn't necessarily mean it as an insult. i don't know that we could entirely call it a compliment, given the context, but at the very least, i think she intended it as a point of connection.

after all, our data re: Laudna And Kids is not limited to that one scene from episode 1. there's also the parallel scene that mirrors it (with a happier ending) back in episode 38, when laudna first visits the sun tree after her resurrection. we also know (via a 4sd episode that i don't care to dig up right now) that laudna had another friend before imogen, who was a little girl.

and i think it's that little girl that's the most important piece here. we don't know anything about that story except that she exists, but i'm willing to read between the lines and make an assumption that laudna – on average – has better luck getting children to be kind to her (when they've not yet been taught to be cruel) than with adults. there is an innocence there that laudna needs! she needs people who haven't been hardened by assumptions and pre-judgements and all that bullshit. for laudna there is safety – both emotional and literal physical safety – in a childlike perspective.

ALL THAT TO SAY: laudna's associations with childhood are, generally, positive. for a variety of reasons.

but!

ashton's are NOT.

ashton's childhood sucked. from the jump. he was a part of a shitty cult that he barely remembers, and after that they were in an ophanage. their associations with childhood are overwhelmingly negative, and likely associated with feelings of helplessness and loneliness.

whether or not laudna intended that original comment ('you're a child') as an insult, we can pretty safely assume ashton took it as one.

they continue:

ashton: they're awful. // laudna: they're not.

NOW, we're getting into the meat of it. where before they were dancing around a metaphor, it becomes immediately clear what's really being talked about here. ashton is saying 'i'm awful', and laudna is emphatically saying 'no you're not.'

which! first of all, is so insanely generous of her. after what ashton just put her through less than 24 hours ago, laudna has every reason to affirm ashton's assertion that they are, in fact, awful. but she doesn't. ashton knows this, which is why he amends his original statement:

ashton: they can be.

they're saying: perhaps i can concede that i am not always awful, but let's at least agree that sometimes (like specificaly, oh, i don't know, LAST NIGHT) i can be.

laudna: you should remember what it's like to be one.

ashton: i do. it wasn't great.

the LAYERS, y'all. the LAYERS. the important thing here is that it's all in the context of that first comment: you're a child. which is, critically, a statement made in the context of ashton's decisions the previous night. they're talking in generalities here, but they're mostly talking about last night.

so!

when laudna says they should remember what it's like to be one [a child], she also means: you were a child last night, but not in a cool, whimsical way, just in a shitty, immature way. AND! when ashton says they remember, and that it wasn't great, they're saying they know they fucked up last night, but all they know of childhood is an overwhelming helplessness, how can that possibly be spun to a positive?

and this, really, is the crux of their two differing worldviews. these two have a lot in common – much has been said about that in game and out – but this point is where they split. laudna has survived, by embracing her childlike nature (admittedly, to a fault, at times). how to keep from being hurt? just keep everything fun and whimsical! nothing to worry about here, it's all just a silly little game! and she has also needed people who share that perspective. people who are willing to take her at face value and without any of the negative assumptions and prejudices they may have picked up along the way.

ashton, on the other hand survived by growing up immediately. they got through their own shitty childhood by becoming an adult (or acting like one anyway) as quickly as possible and STAYING that way. ashton needs to have a tough exterior (there's the made-of-stone thing again) to feel safe. (admittedly, from an audience perspective, this veneer is basically see-through. but ashton doesn't necessarily know this. they're trying their best. so from their perspective, the tough guy thing is Working.)

laudna: you should find more joy in your inner child.

she's saying two things here:

(1) you can be soft and be safe. those can co-exist, aND!

(2) i need you to be soft for me to be safe. when you have this false tough exterior, it hurts people. it hurts (hurt) me.

which is certainly a resonant metaphor to play with for the literal ROCK GUY who just got literally MELTED into LAVA 12 hours prior.

ANYWAY- that's what i've got for now on this scene. i'll probably never stop thinking about it, and there's even more good shit from later on in the scene when they talk about the doll, but that's it for now.

I'm planning an rp with a friend and we have a character who is going to have a praise kink for like how he looks, because he's been so uncomfortable with his appearance for a long time, but I'm not actually good at praise kink and am really struggling with what to even compliment or pet names other than "baby" "handsome" or "gorgeous," especially since the character doing the praising might also be in a more submissive role. You're really really good at writing sex scenes and praise kink, so i was wondering if you might have any suggestions or advice?

Hmmmmm, well, I'd say that depends on his specific appearance and why he is/was so uncomfortable with it? Like, if he has a weight problem in one direction or the other, if he has some kind of dysphoria, if he looks more femme or more masc than he wants to, if he thinks he's just not objectively attractive or has internalized racism or scars or birth defects or he's just constantly comparing himself to other people . . . like, all of those are at least SLIGHTLY different approaches, depending.

In general terms, though, I would say if I were writing that myself, at least to start I would probably praise/compliment BEHAVIORS that had a visual aspect more than just state objective facts about his looks. "You look so good when you arch your back like that", "I love that crooked smile of yours", "you blush so pretty", "I love how you shudder when I touch you there", "you're so cute when you're horny", things like that. Associating an action with the aesthetic admiration might make it easier for him to hear and accept the praise, since he might feel more like he was "earning" it and also it'd be harder to argue with in the sense of "ugh no I hate just my general features/body/etc and you're just trying to be nice to me". Like, you see yourself in the mirror all the time, of course, but you don't typically see yourself when you're performing certain candid or instinctive behaviors, so he wouldn't necessarily know WHAT it looked like when he did those things and would only have his partner's admiration to "judge" himself by.

bonus possible pet name options: sweetheart, pretty, hot stuff, honey, baby boy, pretty boy, sweetie, sugar, daddy, big guy, babe

Hey, fellow Malkavian players/lovers playing Vampire: the Masquerade 5th edition:

They have finally added what, imo, was the best power in Dementation to V5! Eyes of Chaos!

For those unfamiliar, Eyes of Chaos is basically the ability for Malks to glean information by staring at things - scribbled incoherent graffiti on a wall, a crime scene, a quilt, the swirl of ash around the remains of a vampire, or anything, really. Typically, it can be random, revealing hidden patterns that, through the network or Malkav's blood, can provide information. Not necessarily information that's useful, of course. And while sometimes it can be used with a mere glance, other times it can take nights seemingly obsessing over something before a pattern is understood.

I've had so much fun with this power in past. It's like... pure Malk energy, and it can be really fun to rp or just add to a character's behavior in downtime. Depending on how an ST runs it, Eyes of Chaos can be really...well, chaotic. Like, a Malk stares at a bootprint in the mud, trying to determine if it was left by the SI or is important. An hour later, the now enlightened Malk informs his coterie or pack that if chickens could ever master flight over long distances, we'd all be doomed. Or that Saulot is awake and has taken over Tremere's body. Or that mud is an illusion.

For some reason, Eyes of Chaos for V5 only exists in the Sabbat antagonist book (for now), but nothing about it is tied solely to Sabbat. I took a screenshot of its entry.

I fully encourage any and all STs and Malk players to add this to their games. I also strongly suggest this is a Malk-only power and cannot be learned by those who don't have Malk blood.

# 𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐓𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐄𝐌 , an independent , selective   &   crossover friendly RP blog for original companion 𝐊𝐈𝐊𝐈  —   Specialization: Reaper, from Dragon Age [ TV ] , Mun   &   Muse +25 , taxidermied by Fungi [ she/her; they/them ]  , heavy topics, gore, potential nsfw warning  ,  personals DNI

𝐈. 𝐆𝐔𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐒 + 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐄 𝐈𝐍𝐅𝐎.   𝐈𝐈. 𝐑𝐏 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐒.

𝐑𝐔𝐋𝐄𝐒 :

I. Mun ≠ Muse ; I think that much is clear. Any statements that come up ic are not specifically my own. 

II. No God modding ; Small liberties like change of scene and such are totally fine and do not have to be discussed. You can hurt her, shove her or whatever, just keep in mind that my muse will react accordingly. Do not assume reactions and write my muses actions. 

III. You can always message me for plotting or headcanons if we are mutuals. ; However, I prefer if things play out naturally. We do not necessarily have to plot out every thread till the end. I am more than happy writing and see how things develop. 

IV. You can always send a starter, no need to ask! ; Again, if we are mutuals. Same goes for sending me rp prompts to my inbox, memes, or whatnot. You are also free to tag me in dashgames! My prompts have no expiration date. Just make sure you link the post if it was a meme from a while ago (so I do not lose the last bit of sanity)

V. OC friendly of course. Just be sure to have a little bit of information ready and visible on your blog, so I can look it up before we interact. We stan OCs in this household. 

VI. Post trimming. ; I use XKit Rewritten to trim my posts. It is not a MUST, but I would be thankful if you have a way to trim your posts. Just to keep it nice and clean on the dash. Other than that, I use the small text, cursive, bold text edits, colored text and double-spacing. Don't feel like you have to format in order to write with me. I just like having an aesthetic and enjoy going crazy in my posts :3

VII. I won’t write NSFW with minors. Mun or muse. Please make sure to have the age somewhere on your blog before interacting. If smut happens, it will be under 'keep reading'. 

VIII. Shipping: I am a huge sucker for ships. If said thing happens, keep in mind my muses are multiship, means that every ship takes place in its own universe. I do have to see chemistry between muses tho, let it be through rp or just nerding about them. I would like to have at least a thread or interaction beforehand ♥

IX. No racism, homophobia, transphobia and so on. Don’t be an ass. I can definitely tolerate ic biased opinions on that in threads, just don't bring it into the real world. 

X. Please refrain from reblogging art you are not involved in. I feel honored people enjoy my silly sketches, I truly do, just please let me remind you that this is still a roleplay blog and having a clustered box is sadly very stressful. If I want my stuff reblogged, you will most likely find it on my art blog @fvngus . You can always ask me beforehand, should you be unsure about reblogging my artwork ♥

Anon i feel the exact same way as you. I dont have a solution but i find it works best for me when i think of taekook as a fictional couple that i enjoy and love and that no one will ever be able to take away from me (i read and write fanfiction for one) and then the members as they are i take them as they are and what is presented to me. This excludes their private lives pretty heavily. In real life, though i want nothing more than for them to be ”real”, what i love about them is their bond. I dont go crazy with all the ”theories” that to me all seem like shippers choosing what they believe based on what aligns with their ship. And thats fine! But i cant delude myself like that. So what works best for me is: we will never know with absolute certainty what goes on behind the scenes. And thats how it should be. These are not our lives, its people who are actually strangers to us private lives. When taennie and paris happened, i obsessed over it, followed it compulsively. And eventually i was like. What the fuck am i doing? None of this, NONE OF THIS, has ANY impact on my life. I have nothing to do with it, and no agency in it because its got nothing to do with me. I cant control anything about it. Yes, I want taekook to be real, but at the end of the day, what does that matter to me? If i just want the relationship i can just daydream about it, them being real or not isnt actually going to make me any more part of it anyway (lol). Now i know that not just quitting them and instead staying with them could still be perpetating my problem but i hope i can continue to respect their private lifes. And i realize sending this to a theorizing shipping blog is kind of ironic, i do think theorizing is sort of inherently invasive (and rps in general so like myself included) but utlimately harmless as long as you stay respectful, they are public figures after all (please okay i mean no disrespect to you peachjagiya) So yeah, when that video with jk and the girl came out i was basically over it. My stance is that has nothing to do with me (and if its real i should not be able to see it and thats stalking and a gross invasion of privacy (same with the leaked taennie pics (although they are edited as hell))) so i do not have an opinion. I still love taekook. Are they real? A part of me is always going to believe that. But no, not that we know, and we can never know. But in any case, theyre real to me❤️ Hope this helps, if not then at least know youre not alone feeling this way (unless you dont wanna align yourself with my crazy lol), and i think some sort of distancing is healthy, not in a ”i dont care about them anymore” (like they mean so much to me, how could i ever do that), just another way of thinking about them. Yes its frustrating not to know but only if that knowledge matters to you. And maybe in the ways that matter (am i speaking in tongues rn) you’ll find it actually doesnt? All the love to anon and this blog 🦋💜

Some words for fed up anon and some ways of thinking about it. 💜

Just adding this second clarifying ask from anon:

No offence taken. I actually think a lot of what we talk about here isn't necessarily romantic. It's often in defence of their closeness in general because a lot of people seem to believe it simply doesn't exist. And in the course of denying their closeness, or minimising their importance to one another, there's a lot of anti-Tae sentiment, a lot of painting JK as something he's not, a lot of bending of ideas to fit weird narratives. That irritates me as a Tae/JK bias so I sometimes feel like I'm just battling that.

That's not to say we don't suggest romance. We definitely do. 😌 But you're right. You gotta protect yourself from potential upset or the weariness of never finding out by accepting that you're never operating at 100% certainty.

I don't think there's prizes for loyalty at the end. If they are a couple, there's no bragging rights if you never had a moment of doubt. JK and Tae aren't personally going to come to your house to congratulate you for never wavering. They are real people, not points to be had.

Sometimes we theorise and make jokes but hopefully it's a respectful vibe? I also hope people would let me know if the vibe got disrespectful.

Just because I'm worried how some people get:

Do I think they're a couple? Yes.

Will I continue to view them through that lens? Yes.

Am I putting my life savings and personal happiness on it? Absolutely definitely no.

Thanks anon 💜

Edit to add:

Taekook will stay cute! 🥰😘 😍

[hoodtimewrites]

Yo yo!

I'm somewhat new to Tumblr, but not new to RP. I've come to look for more RP partners that have Discord, as that's my preferred app. Exclusively looking for Female (Cis, Trans, or NB, all are welcome) characters to pair with my Male character(s)! And of course, all races, body types & features are also welcome!

For a lil more info about me personally, I go by HT, I'm a Black writer (which will be reflected in my characters), my timezone's EST, and you can refer to me (as well as my characters) with he/him/his.

Now, to give you a better idea of the things I like and how I do things, my plots, and my Discord handle...

I like RPs where we don't jump into smut immediately and where it's not the only thing we're doing. Obviously I'm into smut and it's what all my RPs have in common, but I'm also into romance, drama, slice-of-life, action, adventure, stuff like that. Potentially sci-fi, fantasy, and fandom stuff as well, but it highly depends. Preference for modern/realistic scenes though!

I'm not a stickler about the length of replies, I understand that they can vary in size based on what's currently happening in the RP, though generally I try to keep mine on the longer side. Of course, good grammar/spelling/punctuation is a must, but that doesn't necessarily apply to character dialogue, since unconventional grammar/spelling can be indicative of your character's slang/accent/manner of speaking, which I 100% respect! Oh, and 3rd person POV + past tense are also musts.

My limits/boundaries/no-go's (for NSFW scenes) are RRP/noncon/dubcon/free-use/hypnosis/vore/inflation/hyper/snuff/using sex toys/receiving assplay/being called "sir" or "master"/drunk sex/high sex/sleepy sex/sweat stuff/ABDL/body swapping/armpit stuff/fisting. As for my kinks, I'm open to pretty much anything else, unless I'm forgetting some things? I should specify that I'm a Switch, so I can Dom and Sub, no preference!

When it comes to roles, I'm not too picky, as long as our characters bounce off each other well and have a fun dynamic I'm cool. I do enjoy enemies-to-lovers stuff, the opposites-attract trope, bickering, just general playful banter and all that, but of course I'm more than happy to dive into other things as well! Do lemme know whatever plots/roles/ideas you got in mind, I love brainstorming and talking things out!

And one more pertinent bit of info about me, is that I don't use FCs for my characters. You're more than welcome to use them for yours of course, but personally I'm way too indecisive and like having the freedom of fully customizing my characters to my liking. So I use written descriptions.

If you've read this far and are still interested in writing together, feel free to check out my plots (hopefully that link works lmao) and hit me up on here or on my Discord: hoodtime

You can also heart this post, or any subsequent posts of mine, and I'll message you!

Lastly, do forgive me if my posts/blog/plots aren't fancily formatted or anything 💀 I'm not the best with technology and I'm worse at aesthetics, so I'll leave that stuff to you guys with magical fingers.

(( Thought I'd put together a little something to give some reference points to new folk around here! There's a full transcription below the readmore; now get out there, be respectful, and have some fun. Cheers! ))

Slide 1: RP TIPS CRASH COURSE!

Hello all! Given the recent spike of fresh activity around here, I wanted to give a few pointers & help make sure that everybody's on the same page.

Slide 2: First and foremost:

A concrete distinction between Mun (the person writing) and Muse (the character being written) is very important!

Your audience and writing partners are gonna wanna know whether a response is in character or not--if it isn't very clear, things can get a little confusing to read.

For example, I keep in-universe HRTech content contained within its own blog separate from my main--this helps keep things organized as well! And when I want to break the fourth wall, I refer to myself as the crew.

Slide 3: When writing with Strangers:

Always ask permission!

It's common practice to plan things behind the scenes with your friends--I do it all the time! But when it comes to other people you might be interacting with, you're going to want to make sure they're on the same page too.

As a general rule of thumb: if you want to involve someone else's character in a plot point or scene of your own, that character's writer needs to be a part of the planning process!

Slide 4: When writing with Strangers:

Having an askblog gives a writer the ability to easily choose what they want to respond to--no one's obligated to respond to anything after all, whether it meshes with their plans, or maybe they just don't feel like it. Who knows! It's just for fun at the end of the day.

While an in-character response doesn't necessarily count as permission from the writer to involve them in other narratives, you can always make an offer out-of-character; or send more asks!

Slide 5: Give and Take:

If you spot a blog doing something you think is cool or interesting, you can help them out by sending an ask about it! Don't worry, it doesn't need to be plot-driven, or even in character--you can ask what's going on, give a suggestion to a character, or even just prompt them for their favorite foods.

It's encouraging and exciting for writers; it shows them that people are interested in the stories they want to tell! When everybody is engaging with each other, everything becomes a lot more fun.

Slide 6: Ask etiquette:

Stuff you'll want to avoid:

-Sending unsolicited sensitive content; stuff like NSFW, gore, invasive questions, personal details, and venting should be avoided at all costs--an rp blog is not the place!

-Spamming; don't send messages to somebody over and over again, especially if they aren't responding to the first one!

-Introducing unrelated or sudden plot elements; collaboration is fun, but works best with planning--you wouldn't want to overshadow someone's story with yours on their own blog!

Slide 7: TLDR;

>Label in-character content for clarity

>Invite every relevant party to planning stages

>Engage with others and they'll do the same

>Keep troubling content out of shared creative spaces

Remember: when in doubt, you can always ask!

⟡ Mun ≠ Muse ; I think that much is clear. Any statements that come up ic are not specifically my own. ⟡ No God modding ; Small liberties like change of scene and such are totally fine and do not have to be discussed. You can hurt her, shove her or whatever, just keep in mind that my muse will react accordingly. Do not assume reactions and write my muses actions. ⟡ You can always message me for plotting or headcanons if we are mutuals. ; However, I prefer if things play out naturally. We do not necessarily have to plot out every thread till the end. I am more than happy writing and see how things develop. ⟡ You can always send a starter, no need to ask! ; Again, if we are mutuals. Same goes for sending me rp prompts to my inbox, memes or whatnot. You are also free to tag me in dashgames! ⟡ OC - and Tav friendly of course. Just be sure to have a little bit of information ready and visible on your blog so I can look it up before we interact. We stan OCs in this household. ⟡ Post trimming. ; I use XKit Rewritten to trim my posts. It is not a MUST but I would be thankful if you have a way to trim your posts. Just to keep it nice and clean on the dash. Other than that, I use the usual small text, cursive and bold text edits. Rarely colored text. You do not have to match my writing or editing style, as soon as everything is nicely readable. ⟡ I won’t write NSFW with minors. Mun or muse. Please make sure to have the age somewhere on your blog before interacting. If smut happens, it will be tagged and under 'keep reading'. ⟡ Shipping: I am a huge sucker for ships. If said thing happens, keep in mind Babsi is multiship, means that every ship takes place in its own universe. I do have to see chemistry between muses tho, let it be through rp or just nerding about them. ⟡ No racism, homophobia, transphobia and so on. Don’t be an ass. I can definitely tolerate ic biased opinions on that in threads, just don't bring it into the real world. ⟡ Please refrain from reblogging my art on here if you/your muse is not involved. I am thankful should you find the little sketches  &  stuff reblog-worthy, but Tumblr notifications can be confusing. It quickly floods my notifs  &  my threads might drown. I have an art blog ( @ fvngus ) where I mirror post everything I am fine with reblogging :3

6, 9, 25, 39 for the oc shipping process game :> - @redwayfarers from main

How easy do you find it to write (or otherwise portray) non-sexual affection between characters?  This might include terms of endearment, "pet-names", descriptions of cuddling or stroking the other's head in their lap etc. 

This has always been pretty easy for me. Even back when I was scared of writing sex scenes in my early days of MMO RP, I never really had a problem with the little bits of affection that happen between characters. These things don't even need to necessarily be romantic. I have written some very emotional and absolutely gut wrenching hugs between friends. I have characters who give pet names to all of the people they care about. I enjoy writing platonic cuddling, lap sitting, little signs of affection that bloom and grow over the course of a friendship that show how close characters have become. It's one of my favorite parts of RP.

How confident are you in writing about or otherwise portraying kissing between characters?  Did this take practice?  How much detail is enough?  How much is too much?

Totally comfy with kissing. I will say that I do not usually tend to get too into the mechanisms of kissing. I will occasionally describe the pass of a tongue or snag of teeth against lips, but I tend to lean into the emotional impact of kissing rather than the physical movement of lips. Not that I would say there is such a thing as too much detail, really. It's just my own personal preference there.

Other than your own characters' relationships, can you give an example of someone who is particularly good at writing or otherwise portraying romantic and/or sexual relationships?  What is it about their work that really stands out for you?

This one is really hard for me to answer since I am exclusively an RPer and do not get too into reading or writing fic, which means that I am not really on the up and up with who to admire in that particular arena, and since I am not supposed to point you towards my own ships, I can't name my RP partners, either. Not that naming them would do much good as they don't really write fic, either. So, you can't get much in the way of examples, which I think in the intent here.

What, if any, is your biggest source of fear or anxiety when it comes to writing or otherwise portraying romantic or sexual scenarios?

My anxieties about this sort of thing come wholly from the perspective of a roleplayer. What I am going to say here won't apply to writing a solo ship at all, really.

My issues here mostly come from worries about bleed and proper boundaries with my RP partners. I have gotten a lot better about as I have found safe people to write with, but there's always the concern that something I write ICly will be taken OOCly and boundaries will be crossed. There is always the risk that someone's interest in a character will bleed over into an OOC interest. But the same can be said for conflict or really... any sort of RP you do. It is not unique to romance or sex, and the only real solution is open and thorough communication.

Oh! I suppose from a not purely RP perspective, I have been wading into romantic and sexual interactions between monsters (werewolves, dragons, etc.) and I am a teensy bit worried I am bad at writing that. But, I'll get over it.

Thanks for all of the asks!! I really appreciate it!

[undeadorion]

This is the first time I've gotten deep into a fandom thing and not had the urge to RP about it. I mean I'd RP Terzo in a heartbeat if given the chance, but the urge to seek an outlet for that hasn't happened. Which is just wild to me.

Where most people found their outlet in fanfiction, mine was always RP. I've been doing online RP since back when not only Yahoo chat existed, but you could make custom rooms. I was doing pseudo RP in random chat rooms before there were proper RP chatrooms on Yahoo. I also trolled the shit out of Christian chatrooms before trolling as a term even existed.

But the fact that I haven't even sought it out and just started making things tells me I've grown and improved so damn much.

I lived on Livejournal then Dreamwidth until just a few years ago, with a few years break to live in the Tumblr RP scene. Both of them suffered the same fate in the end, devolving into the appearance of RP with no actual substance. On tumblr it was about the aesthetics of what you posted, absurd amounts of text formatting and flourishes, while saying very little. On DW people talked (and complained) about RP a lot but you were lucky to get a reply once a week that was 2 sentences long.

LJ/DW was my home for a decade. So I held on to it for as long as I could. It's where I made some genuinely lifelong friends that I still talk to on a regular basis. It's where I developed my writing skills and built my OCs. But holy shit were they toxic. All anonymous, of course. Someone once ranted about hating to RP with me because they hated my writing was so casual and I sometimes used sentence fragments. It's not an fucking MLA formatted essay contest, gdi.

But the biggest issue over there was that it was impossible to get any serious action, the sort you could sink your teeth into, without joining a community (we called them games). But then you were stuck with a limited collection of people you had to play nice with. And if they decided they didn't like you, you were screwed. The final straw that made me finally leave was double layered. The first layer was that with one character I was getting too much attention. Or rather the character was. I was playing as Thor and everyone wanted a piece of him, but just their personal headcanon of him, often replying to me as if I was playing that version with no regard to anything that was different due to his time in that world and away from canon. And they most certainly didn't give two shits about me as a player. So I said fine. Here's my OC Crawford. If you play with him THEN you get to play with Thor. Thor is your reward. Mostly to prove how little they actually cared. They then took to the anonymous communities to rip me to shreds for it. Accusing me of shit like "soul bonding" and that he was a terrible character cause he said "fuck" too much. There was a third layer that was the final blow involving a really shitty friend's reaction to me being upset by it, but that's a story for another time.

I was completely and utterly devastated. I sat at my computer sobbing for like 3 days in a row. It wasn't even necessarily that they hated my character, I knew he was an acquired taste. It was that I couldn't trust anyone anymore. Not just in the game, but that I RPed with at all. Because different anonymous people kept weighing in. Some I could guess who they were but the rest I couldn't be sure. Was it people I trusted? Was it people I'd thought were my friends? I'd put so much time and energy of my life into RPing, what else was I going to do? It was my one outlet. The place I felt most comfortable. I'd been doing it for 20 years.

That was also the last time I was deeply involved in any fandom. And likely part of why I couldn't really dig my fingers into anything since then. Because I didn't know what to do. Because that instinct for wanting to RP as a character was still there. It was still where my brain went, thinking up how I'd approach it, what situations I'd want to throw them into. And part of that was just connecting with other people. It was a moment of immediate feedback. If they responded to me they didn't hate me. If they interacted with me I mattered. They were interested in what I had to say. It was quick and constant validation.

And I've realized...I don't need that anymore. Even if it was just me and my mutuals who also like the fandom in our little corner, sharing the same posts around and yammering headcanons at each other, that would be more than enough for me. A chunk of the fandom actively hates me and I keep finding I'm blocked by more people. If that happened 5 years ago, I would have been absolutely destroyed. Now I'm legitimately laughing about it. Then I go back to making my art. Art I'd be making even if I got zero notes, because I'm making it for me.

Back in 2018 when that shit happened, I'd lost a lot of ground on improving my mental health. It felt like I was trying to climb out of a mud pit with sheer walls and every time I made some progress I'd slide back down into the muck. I didn't know until later that it was a losing battle anyway, because I desperately needed meds to fix my head. But the meds were like someone dropping a ladder. I still had to climb it, I still had to pull myself up. I've made so much progress since then I can't even see that pit anymore. When I was down there, RP was that one source of warmth I could find. A way to escape if just for a moment. And I've only now become aware of not needing that anymore.

It's a serious relief. And I'm still so grateful for all of the wonderful people leaving comments on my stuff. Even when I don't respond, it makes me all warm and fuzzy inside when I see them.

This is for @tmnt-tychou Valentine’s Day prompt.

Immogene and Raphael

1. In which TMNT universe does your pairing exist?

Bayverse, but years later. The turtles are now a Spec Ops unit of the NYPD. They are in they early 40’s and late 30’s. Mutants are more common but tend to keep a very low profile.

2. Introduce us to your OTP.

Immogene (pronounced Imogen) or Gen Waters - She is 42 years old (in this universe), although her age varies depending on the RP or story I have her in. 5’11” and curvy (Ashley Graham is who I use for her body type). Long wavy curly red mahogany hair, tattoos that cover more than half of the left hand side of her body disguise the scarring she has. Her eyes are emerald green and she has fair skin. Within her genes is the blood of an ancient race, known as the Amazons.

Immogene is known for her wit and sometimes sharp tongue. Her skill with a bow and arrow is unparalleled. She is an artist and likes to work on her motorcycle. Kind and softhearted, though she guards her heart fiercely, Immogene has few that are close. Her personality is a mix of class and sass. Some nick names that she’s earned over the years (from various Raphael’s) are: Firecracker, Tiger, Princess (Raphael is the only one to call her that), Iron Butterfly and Candy Apple Vixen. She can be fierce when pushed or when needed. She’s not necessarily empathetic but she picks up on feelings easily. Immogene is often referred to as a badass, feisty and a sweetheart.

*Side Note - I have been often asked if I created an OC that would match Raphael. This question, rather than irritate me, makes me smile. Immogene is me, with very few differences. I choose to have her as an OC to keep my fantasies separate from my reality. In truth, when I first wrote my story, I was attracted to both Leo’s and Raph’s personalities. But, the more I played with them, the more I started leaning towards Raphael. I’ve RP’d with many ‘Raph’s’ over the years and I honestly feel the greatest connection with the Brute. So, rather than me ‘creating’ someone for him, he is actually…the perfect match for me (I’d like to add I support all ships). When this question pops up…I honestly take it as the highest compliment.

Raphael Hamato - He is 40 years old. 6’9, extremely muscular and large with it. His left arm is covered in a sleeve which depicts traditional Japanese imagery. Although he still has his famous temper, he’s learned to use it and fine tuned himself. Raphael is the rogue of the four. He occasionally takes missions with his brothers, but often seeks the ones that no one else wants to do. His brothers never know when he’ll show up for family dinners. He was the last of his brothers to take a mate.

3. How did they meet?

Oruko Saki in this universe is a billionaire tycoon. His alter ego (The Shredder), reigns in terror over the citizens of NYC. He is a collector of fine arts and priceless artifacts.

Seeing the art of Immogene Waters, he decided he had to have it…and the artist herself. Saki arranged to be an anonymous benefactor of her art to get her to NYC.

On the night of the attempted kidnapping Raphael happened to be in the neighbourhood and rescued her. At the time he had been impressed with the fight the woman had put up against the fiend. Although, she hadn’t left the scene unscathed.

Raphael made the decision to bring her back to the ‘lair’, which was now an entire apartment building complex where all the brothers lived. His decision had surprised everyone, including himself. There was something about those green eyes of hers.

Of course, the first time she saw him she startled, but reasoning took over and she realized this behemoth had rescued her.

Through happenstance and an unusual like for each others company, they got to know each other. Raphael discovered she somehow had a calming influence on him. All she had to do was walk into the room and his shoulders would visibly relax. She also had a tendency to challenge him with that tongue of hers. There was also the no end to his amusement with how she stood up to him.

Immogene found someone who accepted her. Who naturally understood her. His actions speaking louder than words. Underneath this brutish figure was a large heart. She, bit by bit softened towards him, letting him past the protection she had around her heart.

4. How is the relationship now?

Immogene and Raphael have an unbreakable bond. They banter together and get so much enjoyment out of it. She’s soft where he’s hard. They have similar dispositions but in ways that balance each other. Nothing soothes him like the way she says his name or when she caresses his jaw.

She’s never felt as safe as she does in his arms. A look from across the room between them speaks volumes. Raphael has always teetered on the edge of going one step too far. It’s what makes him so effective. Immogene keeps him on the side of good. With him, she has found her home. He his her home for a piece of her heart lives within his and vice versa for him. It’s the reason why I chose the image I did. Water and fire. When they meet it’s a blending of the two elements, unless it’s in the bedroom. Then the reaction more…explosive.

6. Do they get married or have any kids?

For the first part of the question, yes, they do eventually get married. It’s a private ceremony between the two of them. For the second part, I will say no, but will not reveal the reason why. There is the chance that this answer could come out in an RP I have, and I’m saving it for that.

7. What is your favorite thing about this pairing? Gush as much as you want!!!

Oh boy. Gushing. Here it comes. I love every single damn thing about this pairing. The way they fit together, the love they have for each other. How they crave each others touch. The way each says the others name. The passion they share. Good grief. *fans self*

The way they tease each other *grins*. They both get so much enjoyment out of it. In a way…it’s a subtle, or not so subtle (depending on who else is in the room), of flirting or even foreplay.

The both of them are unabashedly themselves, with each other they’ve found that one that gets and accepts them exactly the way they are. To this day, it still surprises Raphael that no matter what level of rage he’s in, a look, a touch or her even just softly saying his name can remove that red haze.

Raphael removed the shadows from her eyes. And the thing was, he did without really trying. He was being himself. It just happened to be everything she needed, Brute and all.

Raphael and Immogene. Two souls collided and did not become one, but a blend of the two. Although they are separate…it can be seen that they are intertwined so thoroughly, it would be impossible to untangle them.

[sorin-sunchild]

You know it's a real shame that so many people who roleplay characters who are villainous feel the need to write paragraphs about how they don't think a fictional villains fucked up actions are actually okay (with maybe a side paragraph detailing every slightly problematic thing the creator has done and how the mun doesn't support that either). Like yeah, what? Of course? I never expected that you did?

I'm sorry but the fully hinged and mature first thoughts of a critically thinking person interested in rp with a villain is that ofc the mun and muse are different and you likely do not want the fictional things to be real.

You shouldn't have to specify! You shouldn't have to grovel at the feet of those who judge and harass people over things that aren't real and you should take steps to stop being that kind of person yourself.

Every time I see this happen I just get so sad that we're tying morality that closely to imagination . A person can imagine absolutely anything they have knowledge of and make up absolutely anything. Sometimes your mind does it subconsciously as dreams or daydreams! It's not necessarily a sign of who you are as a person, it's just a messed up thing you thought of! I mean look at Junji Ito, famous example of guy who is the opposite of the stuff he imagines!

It's such a buzzkill on top of that tbh. Nobody can just explore dark topics in safe fake scenes any more without a million meaningless disclaimers and potential harassers waiting in the wings.

[009720kakashi]

Rules

Hey all! I go by Mhiyah and rp for 15 + years meaning yes, I’m an adult :D and so is the character.

I do not want to interact with minors and I do not want them to follow the blog. I’m dead serious on that. No exception. It makes me uncomfortable. Please respect that.  

Please note the following rules:

1. I’m not a native speaker in English. I actually do have an online dictionary open constantly :D. I do my best but there will be mistakes. Please be lenient.

2. No godmodding and don’t force your headcanons about my character on me. I’m very willing to adapt to the things you have created for your own character but not when it comes to my character. Also please note that if I make mistakes with your headcanons it’s not on purpose. I do my best but for many characters there are a lot of headcanons. Usually I try to check them again before replying. This is not possible if I reply on a mobile device though. Just tell me and I change the reply.

2. No pairings with minors obviously.

3. No exclusives.

4. No stress please. I’m a relaxed person and I do this for fun. It’s strictly character here. You won’t find me post all that much completely unrelated to the character or rp on this blog. If I do it will be deleted after a short period of time. I refuse to participate in any tumblr animosities. If people have problems with each other don’t drag me into it. I won’t take sides. I will block the person who pressures me into this stuff.

5. No hate of any kind. If I see any hate (be it homophobic, transphobic, racist or whatever) on your blog I block you immediately without any comment. I don’t want to interact with stupid hateful people. It’s as easy as that.

6. If a rp blog posts too much ooc stuff I will unfollow it. Also I don’t automatically follow back.

7. I won’t necessarily reply to threads in order. That is because sometimes I need to think about it a moment before replying. It has nothing to do with you, your character or your reply. I just want to give you a decent answer because that is what you deserve for taking the time and effort to write.

8. I don’t expect anyone to match the length of my replies. I sure tend to babble sometimes. However if I constantly just receive one or two sentence replies to a long paragraph  I will get the feeling that you are not awfully interested in the thread and then I’ll probably drop it. It’s just no fun for me then. It’s the same if everything I write is ignored. I usually do quite some research especially when it comes to fighting scenes and the jutsus used in these scenes. Fights are very difficult to write. So if a jutsu, attack or block fails (which they should at times of course) please tell me why so I know what to do with it. Usually there is enough room for interpretation after all. Also keep in mind that with battle stuff we eventually will have to go for exits and end the thread otherwise one character ends up dead :D

9. Relationships: Yeah well, that’s a difficult issue. I do not see Kakashi enter into a relationship. He sure has sex but definitely has issues committing to someone. He does not easily open up. Someone would have to be very understanding and persistent I suppose. Never say never though. As for sexual relationships. I think he does have those but no strings attached.

10. I also tend to write him a bit more ‘serious’. There are two sides to him. One being rather goofy and the other being very serious. I think to a certain degree he tends to hide behind the goofy side. Though it definitely is a part of his character too. However he has had a very rough life and lost almost everyone dear to him. 10 years of ANBU sure did not help his mental health either. Caring for Team 7 pulled him out of that darkness a bit but that also was not exactly a win for him considering he did not manage to keep the team together. Sasuke lost to Orochimaru, Naruto went with Jiraiya and Sakura with Tsunade. It was quite a short lived experience. Kakashi has to deal with a lot of guilt and self-doubt and has a very low opinion of himself. That shines through in his dark moments in the anime and manga. I don’t think he ever overcame that really. He maybe can accept that others do not think that about him. It does not change that he thinks himself to be a fraud. He avoids the topic to the best of his abilities.

11. The mask thing: I don’t think there is much depth to this really. Honestly he does reveal his face for instance while eating in the anime and it is absolutely impossible to hide your face constantly. Especially on missions. This is probably the one headcanon I have since it has never been confirmed. For me he started wearing the mask as a kid because he has a heightened sense of smell. To deal with that the mask helped and that’s it. Additionally he does have a pretty face but never gave the impression to enjoy attention. For that the mask also helps. Now he is just used to it and it still has it’s merits. However he will pull it down and not make a fuss about it.

12. Also I have a job.

13. That’s it for now. Looking forward writing with you!
