although i haven't written for it yet, my newest roleplay showcases my skeleton dumbass cal.
this man wouldn't hurt a fly unless it was comically obviously evil, but i know for a fact i would get a solid lecture on how much i've made his life hell. i tried to make a joke character and then he...
watching movies, tv, or youtube is something i generally only do while working on something menial, like washing dishes or doing laundry. that's mostly because if i'm watching something, i want to watch it, and i don't divide my attention well (read: i can't watch something if i'm playing a game...
i'm not certain i can provide anything more to the discussion than what's already been discussed by other users, but i'd like to try tossing in my two cents regardless.
i want to touch on this point a little bit - some people just don't like sitting down to watch movies or tv shows. i certainly...
i've been told by a few people my writing style is reminiscent of terry pratchett's, and my response was "whaaat? noooo," then i read good omens for the first time and was like "holy shit they're right." that might be because grim reapers and apocalyptic horsemen come up in my writing very often...
i always hated when i would forget about characters i made for one thing or another, so i (tried to) created a list that had every oc on it. once i see their name, it was always easy for me to recall who it was and what information i had on them. when i got a toyhouse account, i devised a...
as someone who has participated in this sort of thing before, character interviews are tons of fun! they're also great exercises for familiarizing yourself with ("getting into the head of") characters that aren't as developed as some others you may write for. especially if there's a plethora of...
as a writer, i can't pick favorites and i love all of my characters equally. but we all know that isn't true, so i can easily say my favorite oc i've made is my character nicholas.
child of the grim reaper turned horseman of death, you'd think he'd be a dark and brooding spirit of pure...
a guy bluffs his way into a god's inner court by convincing him he's the reincarnation of another god formerly in the court, but by the time the god realizes his mistake it's too late, so now they both have to play out this lie so that their subordinates won't turn on them
i could go through and list all the memorable rps i've had over the years, but i think the most notable one is a group roleplay i joined on a whim at the end of 2020, during the three weeks i had to quarantine when my parents got covid.
as expected, after the first few days of being locked up...
honestly, crossovers and multifandoms. it's always been one of my favorite things to mess around with, but every day i see them less and less. it's not even just "x canon character meets y canon character in y's canon setting," but crossovers of genres as well. i see more original crossover...
i always tell myself i want to start an rp and develop some of my characters that have been on the back burner for years, but i always struggle to find a plot or vibe that gives me the push to do that, and so when i do start rps, i usually find myself doing the same sort of things on repeat...
so since there's been two points brought up in this thread, i figure i should address both of them with my reply.
i am definitely the kind of person who comes into a roleplay with an oc on hand, but that's because i have well over a hundred at this point and a lot of them have never seen the...
what it feels like to experience something touching an exposed bone (really just how it feels for a person to have their bones touched or grabbed). if i a nickel for every time i've written a character having that sensation i'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but weird that it happened...
as someone who leans more towards 1x1 roleplay rather than groups (i lack the time to keep up with a group roleplay), the first dm to a potential partner.
i don't know if there's like some secret formula for messaging somebody about their rp search, but i swear every time i do it, i do it...
i've always looked at coding as a kind of "you do you" sort of thing. some people enjoy coding character forms, some people think it's more trouble than it's worth, but at the end of the day, it doesn't have any effect on the quality of your writing.
i enjoy coding to a degree, but i always try...
i'm in about the same boat is you. sometimes i'll go back and read roleplays i had with people 3, 4 years ago to see how different characters and ideas were, as well as how different my writing style was in the past. it gets to a point where i cringe a little at anything before i started...
man it's so rough when that happens. there was once a superhero/metahuman rp i was in, and it went on for about two years before my partner took a permanent hiatus from writing. i went for a few years hunting for another version of that, and i've still never found anything that hit the same...
one that i've picked up more recently has been subnautica.
i've been interested in the series since the first game came out, but i only just now (in the last couple months) had the opportunity to play it and below zero. the world and lore are so interesting to me in the same way james cameron's...
i have a very specific plot that has been a guilty pleasure of mine for a very long time that i have finally gotten an rp partner for. it's your stereotypical western-style equestrian rp about A Guy From The City coming to Smalltown USA so he can learn to ride and take care of a horse he's now...
i've never been what you would call an avid consumer of music. everything i listen to comes from one massive playlist that i've been adding things to since i started high school, and so it's pretty much a mix of what my tastes were and what they are now. everything in it ranges wildly between...
