⭐ Heyo! 20 y/o (They/Them pronouns) here in search of a fellow RPer who's at least 18+ and wants to try a MxM crossover RP with me.
I don't know if there are any Incredibles fans still around, but I'm looking for someone who can write as Dash from those movies, while I write as Hogarth (from The Iron Giant). Always wanted to see how the former would approach the latter, explore the differences between them and whatnot.
As an aside, bonus points if you're okay with doubling as Linguini (from Ratatouille), even if only as a side character. Since all three works are from the same director, it'd be fun to see him interact with the duo in some capacity.
I had this AU for them in mind where the two are just ordinary kids in a sort of realistic setting (Dash doesn't have superspeed and he's more of an athletic-type runner, Hogarth never met the Giant, etc.), but that can be negotiated. We can have it take place in the same timeframe as their movies (1950s / 1960s) or in the modern age, and I'd be happy to hear any headcanons you might have.
I want to stick to their canon ages, so it's going to be a SFW-ish RP. There can be some teasing between the two, but outright NSFW is strictly out of the question.
Lastly, I don't care much about how many paragraphs the reply needs to be, but please no one-liners. I usually reply more often on weekday nights and in the weekends so bear that in mind.
I can do the RP on Tumblr or Discord or RpNation. Like and/or comment on this ad and I'll get to you as soon as I can.
⭐ Thanks everyone!

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
My name is Robin! Nice to meet you!
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

~ I use he/they pronouns, trans
~ I like books a lot!

-fanbots and canon bots RP welcome to interact and start RPs
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Robin Info/lore:
A fanbot from the SPG universe, created in 1900
Most parts made from copper. The teal parts being oxidized after years of use, the more typically coloured copper parts being frequently replaced because they move a lot and can damage easily
Originally designed as a delivery robot in 1900, long after his siblings, he has wings to fly to delivery destinations and more complex and extensive facial mechanisms because he works in customer service. Ironically he has social anxiety and a fear of heights.
His siblings were not often at the mansion, instead touring and putting on shows, so Robin went a long while having never met them. They made friends with the Walter Workers but still felt very lonely most of the time, wandering the giant mansion alone. He looked up to his siblings greatly, and when they finally came back to the mansion and met him he nervously asked to join the band, they accepted happily.
He’s not trans in the same way that Rabbit was. He was built as a “female” robot (never had any genitals, but was programmed to “act like a woman” and view himself as a woman). But while in the Walter Manor he read magazines and news papers and articles about “transexuals” and “pansy performers” and identified with it, with how they presented themselves. That’s what he wanted to look like. The first time he ever met his siblings Rabbit talked about being trans and she helped him discover himself.

Koumei & The 5 Fates Update Thoughts
(I've only been playing around with this update for a few hours, so of course my opinions may change in the future)
The new mission type (Shrine Defense) is nice; despite the name, it's more like a mini Interception (though without a timer, which is greatly appreciated as I play solo so Interception is a pain in the ass for me) hybridized with Plague Star (the infested enemies, the tanky final boss, the fact that you'll have to do it enough times to get sick of it, and that Vay Hek is there). The randomized buffs from Koumei offer a nice bit of variation.
The music that plays during the mission is also lovely
When I saw we'd be picking up this mission from Saya, I was happy to see her return to the story and agency a bit, since her introduction in the Saya's Vigil quest sees her operating entirely as a plot device for the two men who are in love with her. Then I saw that, by "talking to Saya," the game actually meant talking to Konzu, and selecting the Saya option. Once again this poor woman is an extension of men. Don't love that!
The fortunetelling minigame is cute, though, and I deeply respect Warframe's commitment to expanding the world with new mechanics and little minigames when they feel like it, AAA-shooter-brain be damned.
Koumei, like Voruna before her, has her special resource (fate pearls in this case) used both to get her blueprints and as an ingredient in them, a mechanic I find annoying and confusing and which I'm displeased to see return. Voruna at least had a chance for parts to drop during her missions, which Koumei doesn't (ironic, that random drops don't come into play when trying to build the warframe themed around randomness...). edit: this isn't true per community response, thank goodness! Per the wiki, you need ~330 pearls to buy the blueprints, and then 330 102 (edit: wiki was wrong yesterday) more as components, for a total of 102-432 pearls to craft, and 14-18 drop per mission...
When I realized this I got so grouchy I left Cetus 😅
I'm not used to the new arsenal UI yet, but it'll happen
As a Caliban Enjoyer, I have mixed but mostly positive feelings on the Caliban rework (much like the Hydroid one before it, as I had hundreds of hours logged on Hydroid even before they made him SP-Viable (TM)):
I actually preferred the old Razor Gyre, wonky and ineffective as it was... hear me out. The new and improved Razor Gyre is almost exactly the same move as Reave: a fast short-range traversal that heals when interacting with enemies. Which is fine (it's a good ability!) but Reave is Revenant's Helminth ability, so I already could put Reave on Caliban if I wanted to. What I can't do, now, is heal by spinning in a silly little circle and ragdolling enemies continuously. I miss that. It was also the most Sentient-enemy-flavoured of Caliban's abilities, which was always fun for me from an RP perspective; something I loved about earlier Warframe content that it seems to be sadly moving away from is the joy of, after seeing an enemy use an ability (or weapon) to kill you, unlocking the ability yourself to use on them with a vengeance.
The 2 Feels the same, but buffed, which is nice, because it's an excellent and underrated CC ability.
The new Summon Caliban Babies utterly slaps, no notes. I love the tactical choice of 3 different baby types to use, and the Summolyst just feels immensely cool in general.
The 4 was a giant fuckoff laser, and is still a giant fuckoff laser. 😎👍
The companion changes are much too large in scope for me to have grasped them enough to form an opinion yet.
I will say, though, all these new mods are going to take a ton of endo to grind, and I would have preferred an endo gift as a sign-in instead of 5 forma (which I probably won't need to use on the new content anyway?).
And most importantly:
Mid-Shrine-Defense I heard an Ostron child yell "I believe in you, Tenno!" and 🥺🥺🥺 the synchronicity of childhood belief, dreams, fate, and the power of stories... I need to lie down

My pal @kbthebearcat and I have been playing around with (and ultimately developed brainrot for) an Iron Giant AU featuring the kids from our ongoing RP, so I ended up sketching what Cricket might look like as a human since she'd essentially be filling the role of Hogarth. I also designed a couple extra outfits for fun, specifically based on my ideas for human Cricket's favorite outdoor interests and activities!
Cricket has something called acro-facial vitiligo, which is a pattern of vitiligo where skin cells on the face, hands, and feet lose pigment (as well as the knees, elbows, or armpits in certain cases). It's supposed to serve as a visual equivalent for the dark patches of fur found in her canon rat design. I always enjoy trying to preserve some aspects of the canon character when creating things like this ^^

Earlier this year, I drew Ki-Hana with Chip in VF, which is based on an old idea for RP purposes of them getting along in Vehicle Voltron. Anyway, I was led to wanting to draw Ki-Hana in a VF setting again. And I decided the best way to go about him is to accidentally traumatize the cadets. Look, he doesn't mean to, but his tears are naturally dark and like ink or oil. And it can be startling when he cries. He's probably crying about a movie again. In the RP, if memory serves right, someone left The Iron Giant on and it made him cry so much, he traumatized a handful of crewmates and even pilots.
Anywho! I hope y'all enjoy this one! Commissions are open and available on my Ko-fi. Until next time!

Skyrim Stuff Part 3!
At this point I'm hoping that my Skyrim save doesn't fall apart. I still have like a good forty or so entries left so... we'll be good for now! To be honest the most upsetting part of the possible save death would be all the time I have put into writing these. I've delved into Elder Scrolls lore to try and ensure that it all makes sense. With my specific fascination with Wayrest I even went and got Daggerfall started and running so I can mess with the Knightly Orders and Nobles there. Fantastic and free game you can play through Daggerfall Unity. Though I doubt anyone reading fucking Skyrim modded playthrough RP is unfamiliar. Thank you to all that do read this, even if you don't like it. Anyways, enough rambling, back to some more entries!
Last Seed, 18th, 4E 201
This place has turned itself into some form of giant death trap. I do not know what the Nords of old were trying to protect but I am left wondering how long these contraptions of death have been left swinging. I managed to easily dodge through the swinging axes, and was perceptive enough to notice the hanging jars of burning oil, ready to be released. Another note to self, do not burn these undead. The smell was nearly enough to make me throw up right then and there. Would have been a terrible way to go out, mid swordfight. Nonetheless, as I venture deeper inside the purpose of this Golden Claw became apparent. Another wall with symbols on it required my touch. The Golden Claw was no more than a key! To be used to enter this large cave area. I found an excavation site nearby, and gathered a few remnants from it. However that was hardly the oddest thing that happened. There was this wall, etched into it some form of runes. A language long since forgotten, perhaps? What matters most is that as I approached this wall, I found myself absorbing some type of magic. Just like the runes, I can only assume that this magic is ancient and esoteric. I only hope that whatever it is that I absorbed is not evil in some form. It was quite heavily guarded after all. Maybe this is what the undead here were trying to protect? I will have to speak to some local wizards, to help understand what I have uncovered. There was one last undead foe that rose from their tomb, though they were still easily dispatched. It also seemed to shout at me, propelling magic through its voice. It was unlike anything I had ever seen. I found another piece of possible treasure on its corpse (though it was technically already a corpse), some slab of rock with something etched into it. I lived through the catacombs, but now I just have more and more questions.
Last Seed, 19th, 4E 201
I went down from where that catacomb left me, and decided to head back to that quaint little town I had seen earlier. Riverwood is what it is called. Along the way I stumbled across another piece of odd architecture, though unlike the catacomb. I don't know what it is, but I found a note nearby, and I am yet to read it. Will do so after this entry. Anyways, after resting at the local inn (that makes two), I stopped by the local merchant to acquire supplies and food. Apparently the Golden Claw was some relic of his, which I kindly returned. Got paid 400 septims for that, my first quest complete, even if I completed it unknowingly. I am pretty well stocked on food now, and also managed to tackle another little trouble-spot. A nearby mine. I had seen bandits near it, and so I went in assuming that the mine was being attacked by them. Little did I know, the bandits had completely taken control of it. They were still weak compared to me, easily felled by my blade. The poor miners inside though, I found a journal that spoke about how they were enslaved by the bandits, forced to mine the iron in the cave under cruel cruel conditions. I hope that they receive a pleasant rest, from the Divine Mother. I am headed back to Whiterun, I need to meet with the court wizard there. Maybe they can help explain what magic I absorbed in that catacomb.
Last Seed, 19th, 4E 201
I have arrived back in Whiterun. After some shopping, I have decided to relax at the Bannered Mare. This will be the last journal entry for today, as I plan on getting myself drunk. Though, there are already plans for tomorrow. I read the note I found on the unknown structure. Apparently it was Dwemer? Either way, I have the remains of someone to find. Sounds like it'll be fun. I also spoke with the person who owns the inn, a lovely lady by the name of Hulda. They were not kidding about Nord size, as the woman towers over me! Anyways, the lass spoke of some odd going ons in the town of Helgen. I checked my map, it is not far from Riverwood. I have no clue what that is about, might be related to the tensions I have heard about going on in Skyrim, with the Stormcloaks and the Imperials. Either way, another place I need to check out.

Open RP: George
Sitting in an open field sits an incredibly huge iron golem, it is at least double the size of a normal one.
Its eyes look down upon you as you come closer
Will you communicate with the iron giant?

⭐ Heyo! 20 y/o (They/Them pronouns) here in search of a fellow RPer who's at least 18+ and wants to try a MxM crossover RP with me.
I don't know if there are any Incredibles fans still around, but I'm looking for someone who can write as Dash from those movies, while I write as Hogarth (from The Iron Giant). Always wanted to see how the former would approach the latter, explore the differences between them and whatnot.
As an aside, bonus points if you're okay with doubling as Linguini (from Ratatouille), even if only as a side character. Since all three works are from the same director, it'd be fun to see him interact with the duo in some capacity.
I had this AU for them in mind where the two are just ordinary kids in a sort of realistic setting (Dash doesn't have superspeed and he's more of an athletic-type runner, Hogarth never met the Giant, etc.), but that can be negotiated. We can have it take place in the same timeframe as their movies (1950s / 1960s) or in the modern age, and I'd be happy to hear any headcanons you might have.
I want to stick to their canon ages, so it's going to be a SFW-ish RP. There can be some teasing between the two, but outright NSFW is strictly out of the question.
Lastly, I don't care much about how many paragraphs the reply needs to be, but please no one-liners. I usually reply more often on weekday nights and in the weekends so bear that in mind.
I can do the RP on Tumblr or Discord or RpNation. Like and/or comment on this ad and I'll get to you as soon as I can.

A little late for this but here I am ⭐
I'm a 23 year old RPer who goes by any pronouns, here in search of a writing companion who's 18+ and is in the mood for a Meet The Robinsons RP.
With the movie having turned 17, I feel like this is a good opportunity to give this a try since it's my all-time favorite, and both Lewis and Wilbur were the first ever cartoon loves of my life.
For the RP itself, I don't actually have a set plot in mind. It could take place before or after the movie, and I'm also open to any AUs or crossovers (I'd personally love to do a crossover with either Big Hero 6 or The Iron Giant, though you can ask for a particular fandom and see if I'd be interested in crossing it over with). I'd also be happy to hear whatever headcanons that you might have.
I don't have a specific preference over who I want to RP as. I could be either Lewis or Wilbur (as well as canon characters from the fandoms that I'd do a crossover with) depending on which one you choose first. Note that if there's going to be some NSFW, the characters will need to be aged up to at least their late teens.
I'd very much prefer to do the RP on Discord, but I can also try it right here on Tumblr in the DMs. Like or leave a message if you're interested.
😄 Thanks for reading this and keep moving forward!

(long ass post)
this all happened so long ago that only the oldest, most loyal residents of irisgard remember it. with the combination of two young kingdoms and one very large and prosperous one, history–currently captured in the scrolls of monks and song and dance–is fluid. you can hear these tales in the voices of the elders that loiter at the bar or watch the ships leave. if you’re braver, you can cross worlds into the nether to look at the ruins for yourself and theorize whether dragons are real are not. i’m the author, so i know it’s a true story, but for everyone else it’s not a well-remembered one. irisgard is focused on rebuilding, anyway. there are far more important things to be attended to than ruins and old wives tales, right? especially in the wake of something like the plague of silence. if there’s no evidence of it why bother? and there’s plenty of evidence of other magic in the world. witches, the fae, the spirit of the land who still is prayed to (in secret, without talking to the church). there are iron automatons that can speak human language, and orcs and even faraway giants. there is an entire alternate realm full of inhuman creatures that live within a bustling and cultivated civilization. and the princess is marrying one right now.
all this would be well and good if it were not for the war of the falling skies… historical event! the nether was overrun with dragons. most of the ancient dragons were born there, out of the fires of the depths itself. they split into three factions, living in the basalt wastes, in the dry soul sand and the forest. however, enough dragons followed one leader (from the wastes) that when this leader began to covet gold, it meant that kingdoms and civilizations of the nether were buried under rubble for it.
netherite and gold were the favorites of dragons, because they could use them to enforce their scales. eventually the two became status symbols: dragons drained the nether of its wealth to rise to the top their society. and when they felt the nether was empty, they burst out into the overworld. it was there that old irisgard (name tba) and the kingdom el would inherit joined their forces. the war was named ‘falling sky’ by humans because of the destruction that rained down: hellfire from the air. eventually, the nether kingdom rallied the more peaceful dragons to fight, and they were the ones that defeated the dragons of the waste. those then spread out, in the overworld and under. they became other species or hid themselves around the world under the skin of mountains or in the depths of the ocean.
kicker is that the dragon of the waste is said to live on as a spirit, maybe even a vengeful one, along with other prominent dragons who died. reincarnating into various people until it finds the right host.
-faye :3
I FUCKINH LBOR UOIU I FUCKING LOVE YOU I LVOE YOU FAYE...............GRIPPING AT THE EDGE OF MY TBALE........YOU DONT UDNERSTAND HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS. THE WORLD HISTORY IS SO RICH AND FUFILLING AND THERES SO MUCH FOR US TO WORK WITH AND BUILD ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I SEE WHAT YOURE PUTTING DOWN. GOING ABSOUTELY INSANE. HELLOOOOOOOO... the dragons forged from the fires of what is essentially hell........................................ grgrjgrgrgjr i love our silly rp server sm

I started a website to gather my meta writing separate from the RP and interaction here. I'll continue to post updates here as well!
-----
Continuing the pattern of Dark Souls, which exiled the Undead to Lordran, Dark Souls 2 places them in the small town of Majula. In this case, Majula is neither an asylum nor a jail meant to contain the undead - rather, it seems to be a gathering place built by the exiles themselves. 
Historical lands of exile tend to be dangerous, faraway, barren, or all three. The undead village of Majula is certainly far from the centers of power: Iron Keep, Drangleic Castle, and the abodes of the other kings and people of note. With its narrow, treacherous cavern leading to the Huntsman’s Copse, but a formidable gate to hold back the hunters, it seems to be out of the long reach of the Old Iron King. The Queen of Drangleic seems to have turned her back on it, without so much as a single Drangleic soldier or operative to bring her word of its changes. Even Aldia’s lands are separated from Majula by another gate mechanism.
Majula also seems to fit the bill of barrenness. Its rocky sea-cliff geography doesn’t allow much in the way of agriculture. Feral pigs inhabit one of its corners, posing a threat to any undead weak enough to be overwhelmed by their charges. Perhaps one might fish off its ragged coastline, but there is no obvious dock, nor any easy way to descend to the shore itself. Worst of all, a corpse has fouled the town’s single well. Fortunately, the undead seem to have little need to sustain themselves on food or water.
While Majula itself is rarely dangerous, a gaping, surprisingly well-constructed pit occupies the center of town. The Laddersmith informs the Bearer of the Curse that the few residents of Majula use the pit to discard their own refuse, including bodies. The opening is a hazard for an unwary dash across town as well as a gateway to the unknown below.
Paths lead directly from Majula to historical battlegrounds. In the Forest we find relics of the Giants. In Heide’s Tower of Flame, we find the quiescent knights of a land so comprehensively lost that only its name, and a handful of tower tops, remain. Gates separate Majula from a handful of truly deadly areas, such as Old Akelarre, an area drawing its name from the Basque word for a Witches’ Sabbath. While on the one hand they may contain the undead that settle there, they also protect them: from huntsmen and sorcerers, from the servants of all of Drangleic’s major powers.
Even as an exile, Majula itself seems to be maintained by its inhabitants as best they can. It’s in relatively good condition, considering how the rest of Drangleic and its surrounding kingdoms are moldering apart. The town itself is sufficient to keep most of the undead out of reach of kings and queens, in the last place in Drangleic that remembers how to be a home.
As is often the case, thanks to @lidrens for their excellent contributions!

Artists, writers, and assorted friends (alphabetical, not exhaustive alas):
Any link will just take you to my blog with the tag searched.
an0n-1o1 - One joke post about how Knack interacts with a goblin in the second game.
animegal19 - No posts of her own yet, but prompts chibifox2002 about their AU or asks questions through the ask box.
ari-draws-things - Several art pieces. Ohh I can't pinpoint my favorite thing, but if I look at them too long, I fear I will die. The shapes? and the style is so cute? I see lots of drawings of Gundahar, Rothari, Knack and Lucas being adorable.
at7outof10 - One post of digital art of Little Knack, along with some non-KNACK characters. And apparently, one post where they made a Knack Mii, like from the Wii?
bestbuybathroom - Shared a one-shot fic I really like, and made some image macros, jokes, and opinion posts. I like their sense of humor, but it is perhaps not for kids heheh.
bm13 - so far, a page of Little Knacks. So cute!
celiasvalley - I see an opinion post and possibly a joke.
chibifox2002 - Adorable digital art! This person has an AU and sometimes posts sibling shenanigans involving Knack, Lucas, and an OC named Penny.
chrisophur - Some screenshots of the ps4 game and I think of the sadly-discontinued Knack's Quest.
creamsodathe1st - So far, a cute digital piece of Robo Knack, aka Player 2 of KNACK 1, petting a beetle. Also some of their OCs.
crimmy10 - Super cute sketches and colored pieces! I'm noticing lots of art of Knack romantically paired with an OC.
dbnogaming-blog - One screenshot of Abominable Knack, aka Ice Knack.
discoknack - it me! I'm a chatterbox who rambles and complains a lot. Sometimes art.
doubleleaf - One drawing of Viktor propped up by one of his robots. Very technique; me gusta. Seems to be an art blog.
emmatheward - Probably one of the most ambitious pieces I've seen so far of Giant Knack's upper torso and right shoulder in meticulous detail.
frenchie-sottises - So far I've shared a post of theirs where Knack has a dinosaur tail, scales and also a bellybutton. So cool! And in full color, too.
gummiscr1bblez - Two art posts about their escapades playing the games.
hervygervy - looks like discord screenshots and memes mainly.
indoobs - One photo of a little crochet plush of Knack made as a present.
kyledahl - An animation cycle of Lucas skipping. This seems to be one of the creators, but I reblogged it on purpose because they deleted the original post and I'm under the impression they won't get notifications.
littlebomba - Uh oops, this person mentioned working at PlayStation,, Plus they shared what looks like a promotional image or poster or wallpaper of some kind, which I have reblogged. Also several more adverts which I have not. I hope they don't look in this direction O_o
thelivingrelic - I have in the queue what looks like a very old roleplay invitation that was never responded to? And the blog itself used to be an RP blog. Sadly this person seems to have deactivated, but I can occasionally find posts from deactivated users if someone still around had reblogged it.
majorpepperidge - some screenshots and cute sketches!
munchiemooz - one GIF of Knack in the trailer for KNACK 1 assembling for the first time.
mypunkpansexualtwin - shared some screenshots of Knack in a character appreciation post.
n-jay79 - Drew one very nice colorful sketchy Doctor Vargas and shared some in-game screenshots. Haven't seen any more KNACK stuff, but this person does draw other middle-aged men on the reg if that's your thing.
pepperishstudio-blog - One "warmup doodle" of Little Knack.
pit--rat - One short text post. If I say more about it I'll spoil it.
playstation - oh shit, the actual PlayStation? and not a fanblog pretending to be playstation? I may be stupid.
robertamew - Several posts of screenshots of Iron Knack, Metal Knack, however you'd like to call him. Also an art piece of Knack, and another of an OC.
sbb-thumbnails - SuperBeardBros apparently did a playthrough series and this person makes the channel's thumbnails.
sonicasura - Crossovers! Some art, mainly talk? I think they're neat, but I am not familiar with the other works being crossed with. A lot of idea stuff.
speedartist-skyliner - Drew two pieces of their version of Knack; one of him small and one of him around six-and-a-half feet tall.
stealthknack - Ugh such a cute but short-lived blog! Shared edited screenshots of the game.
totally-jammin-bridget - Shared some things on a post about how they liked Knack 2. They go by a different name now, so I'll update it soon.
thewizardlywyrm - Two (I think?) super cute digital pieces and one celebratory post about Knack 2.
woodenplankstudios - one comic about Knack, about 7 feet tall or so, breaking into the "mascot lounge" and being obnoxious for four panels. I have to admit, the art is well done.
