hello.

A little about me

I'm 28 and live in Central Time America, looking for someone 21+ to do a one-on-one with.

Remember Gaia? Who does? I started roleplaying there when I was 13, so I'm experienced in rp and consider myself semi to adv. lit.

I try to post once a day, but most likely will post a lot more than that if you let me

I prefer playing m/f pairings, and can write male and female pov

Singling or doubling - I love them both and prefer we play one boy and one girl each if we double.

I love side characters so much that if they become a huge part of the plot or story - we can post in their pov as well. I've done this before with another partner in the past and it was the best rp I've been in! Side characters can be played as needed. Bonus Point for if there's a Big Bad Guy pov.

I prefer to play over discord, but please reach out to me here first.

I adore plotting and world-building, so out-of-character chat is always fun for me.

No fandoms please.

What I'm thinking

I don't mind adding in darker themes or plot devices, I actually welcome it and am always excited to see it pop up during plotting. If there's something that makes you uncomfortable, please let me know! I'll do the same.

I am actually dying for a good slow-burn romance. Please.

Ideas

Please let me know if you have an idea or plot of your own, if you'd like!

Hunter x Hunter (not the show)

Enemies to Lovers, historical or modern, drama, action, fantasy

The world knows monsters are real. Vampires, werewolves, necromancers, chupacabras, banshees... the people need someone to protect them! Unfortunately, our characters met in the monster hunting academy and are constantly in competition and trying to one-up the other even after graduation. Now they've been assigned on a mission together. Things go wrong and naturally one is blaming the other for it.

Royal x Assassin

Espionage, historical, drama, war/revolution, fantasy, politics

Seems like the royal house is in trouble. Rumors are spreading that the emperor/empress is a heretic who gained power by dealing with the devil. While some roll their eyes, others believe it's true. Fortunately, their personal bodyguard just retired. Who's better to take charge of the royals safety then a plant who's in league with an assassination plot?

"Romeo and Juliet"-esque

Forbidden love, historical or modern, political/arranged marriage, drama, friends to lovers

The characters met when they were teenagers and became good friends who loved enjoying each other's company. Unfortunately, their families despise each other and separate the two the moment their families find out. It's been years since the two last saw each other. Now adults, a chance encounter brings them back together. The problem? Not only do the families still hate each other and are in competition, but one is engaged in an arranged marriage deal while the family of the other is trying to play match-maker.

"If voting changed anything they wouldn't let people do it-" grabs your face THEY DIDN'T JUST "LET" PEOPLE DO IT, MOST PEOPLE COULDN'T VOTE FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS. PEOPLE OF COLOR ONLY GOT THE FULL RIGHT TO VOTE 50 YEARS AGO IN THE US, THATS BARELY A GENERATION.

IF IT DIDNT MATTER AT ALL WHY WOULD THEY SPEND SO MUCH TIME GERRYMANDERING THE SHIT OUT OF EVERYWHERE?? WHY CAN'T FELONS VOTE?? WHY CANT PUERTO RICO VOTE? WHY DO THEY KEEP SWITCHING DATES AND LAWS AND TIMES AND WHATEVER THEY POSSIBLY CAN TO STOP PEOPLE FROM VOTING?? WHY DO THEY MAKE EFFORT AT ALL??

BEING DISILLUSIONED IS A REASONABLE RESPONSE. BUT PEOPLE FOUGHT AND DIED AND ARE STILL FUCKING DYING FOR THAT RIGHT, DONT SPIT IN THEIR FACE.

Jean-Baptiste Pointe DuSable was born in Saint-Domingue, Haiti (French colony) during the Haitian Revolution. At some point he settled in the part of North America that is now known as the city of Chicago and was described in historical documents as "a handsome negro" He married a Native American woman, Kitiwaha, and they had two children. In 1779, during the American Revolutionary War, he was arrested by the British on suspicion of being an American Patriot sympathizer. In the early 1780s he worked for the British lieutenant-governor of Michilimackinac on an estate at what is now the city of St. Clair, Michigan north of Detroit. In the late 1700's, Jean-Baptiste was the first person to establish an extensive and prosperous trading settlement in what would become the city of Chicago. Historic documents confirm that his property was right at the mouth of the Chicago River. Many people, however, believe that John Kinzie (a white trader) and his family were the first to settle in the area that is now known as Chicago, and it is true that the Kinzie family were Chicago's first "permanent" European settlers. But the truth is that the Kinzie family purchased their property from a French trader who had purchased it from Jean-Baptiste. He died in August 1818, and because he was a Black man, many people tried to white wash the story of Chicago's founding. But in 1912, after the Great Migration, a plaque commemorating Jean-Baptiste appeared in downtown Chicago on the site of his former home. Later in 1913, a white historian named Dr. Milo Milton Quaife also recognized Jean-Baptiste as the founder of Chicago. And as the years went by, more and more Black notables such as Carter G. Woodson and Langston Hughes began to include Jean-Baptiste in their writings as "the brownskin pioneer who founded the Windy City." In 2009, a bronze bust of Jean-Baptiste was designed and placed in Pioneer Square in Chicago along the Magnificent Mile. There is also a popular museum in Chicago named after him called the DuSable Museum of African American History.

The idea that uni protesters are "elitist ivy-league rich kids larping as revolutionaries" on Twitter and Reddit and even here is so fucking funny to me if you actually know anything about the student bodies at these unis. Take it from someone who's going to one of the biggest private unis in the US, 80% of the peers I know are either from the suburbs or an apartment somewhere in America, children of immigrants, or here on a student visa. I've heard about one-percenter students, but I've never met one in person. Like, don't get me wrong, the institution as a whole is still very privileged and white. I've talked with friends and classmates about feeling weird or dissonant being here and coming from such a different background. But in my art program, I see BIPOC, disabled, queer, lower-income students and faculty trying to deconstruct and tear that down and make space every day. So to take a cursory glance at a crowd of student protesters in coalitions that are led by BIPOC & 1st/2nd-gen immigrant students and HQ'd in ethnic housings and student organizations and say, "ah. children of the elite." Get real.
