I genuinely have no idea what kind of mushroom usually comes on pizza. I just go "hello pizza maker employee, please give mushroom" and they're like I got u fam
it's definitely bucky, hands down. I'm confident that he's dominant, the whole getting off on control thing makes total sense for his character, and it allows me to do like really specific or creative scenarios
most surprising smut thread was a short term PSL I had with Bucky and Cassandra Anderson from Judge Dredd. I was and am still completely canonblind but for whatever reason the D/s chemistry worked great between them
in which of the split community timelines do you believe troy and abed got married and started a legit mainstream morning talk show and lived like oprah for the rest of their days, and how did one or the other propose
I do tend to err toward male characters. I started mainly with Rose Tyler from Doctor Who for years, then I watched Supernatural and picked up Dean back in like 2011, not because he was a dude but just because I loved him and he felt relatable
1 - there's been an opinion floated that most popular media struggles to portray female characters in a way that hits on the same feelings or themes that male characters do sometimes, and it may just be I haven't found a lady that touches the same stuff in my brain as these dudes have
in any case it doesn't have anything to do with ease of threads, although I'm aware that's something a ton of people that play chick characters can struggle with
lord5982: all of them but the bad end and the one where childish gambino left to be famous and cool. abed does the thing people do in movies where he puts an engagement ring in a champaign glass, troy does the sweetheart gasping
-deadpan / sarcastic / witty sense of humor -intense unwavering loyalty to one or two people -people who have something completely different going on under the surface than what they outwardly express
-good hooks, or the ability to pick up on one of mine and then use it to help carry the thread, not just react and leave all the heavy lifting on my side -good understanding of your character's motivation / personality so you can kind of go 'yeah i could see that, makes sense' -a decent amount of narrative so that i have something to respond to
it doesn't have to be a novel, even just a couple paragraphs works, but I can't do the 1-3 line tags, I start to fall off in interest. I get the most motivated with at least a glimpse into thought process / body language / scene setting / whatever & it makes me want to build on that
-when people sort of retrospectively change the tone of a tag you sent them to better suit their narrative, idk if I'm explaining it properly so let me try and do an example here
character a: [smugly] what's the matter, you look lost, are you gonna cry? character b: nah man i'm cool [shrug.] character a: hahaha its so cute when you get all riled up [condescending introspection]
-doing the writing/rp equivalent of [moans.] where it's all reactionary and doesn't help move the thread along at all. like every once and a while is fine but consistently, it starts to wear down my motivation
-ic/ooc line blurring, both in terms of pushing a character to do something that doesn't make sense for them, or taking something that happens in character and dragging it ooc.
but some people you just fall in sync with and you vibe real hard and you wanna hit shit back and forth to the gd moon. unfortunately it's something you can't force but when it's there
39% bakerstreet memes, when somebody tags my TL with a good hook or vice versa, and the tags just stay goodgood, then like 20 or 30 in u finally just dm one another and go "ok but this shit is legit tho"
re: from "rp buddy" to "friend", I think the line here can be thick and blurry because it means something slightly different to everyone and there are different levels of friendship, but I would say
once you start routinely talking about things that aren't directly related to your characters/game/rp in general - on a consistent basis, not just the occasional one-off - you start leaving hobby buddy and start hitting casual friend
I tend to be a pretty mellow person so my tactic is generally to just disengage and go kind of grey rock. Polite but detached. There are probably healthier or better ways to handle it, but I'm not a very emotive person so esta que esta
typically there are several that crop up that I'm known for ignoring because of that whole 'benefit of the doubt, maybe I'm being cynical or judgemental' thing, but every single time it winds up burning me
best tropes for me: -slow burn UST -friends to lovers -au'ing aus to the fucking moon, all things au, 6 layer aus -doing AUs of movies or shows, like "what if that one episode of black mirror, but with our characters tho" -opportunities for one character to be disloyal but instead displaying heart-beakingly unshakable loyalty
-love bombing is a pretty common one. when you meet someone new and they seem attached too quickly & enthusiastically -"subtle" conversational manipulation tactics; this one is a little harder to define, but growing up with a parent that had narcissistic personality disorder has made me really perceptive to like
stuff I've been itching to play: -got a dope ass cast in ethyraia that just opened up so I'm excited about all things there -pretty much anything with my OC in that game too bc aliensmeme.png -i honestly feel like I'm itching for Something with Dean but it's this weird maybe adhd-induced feeling of like
i don't know what i want, but i know i want something, and when i hold up options like "orange?" no. "banana?" no. that's not what i want. "what do you want??" soMETHING!
but again I'm not necessarily the best person to take advice from re: assessing interpersonal relationships, because a few of my buds that eventually got to know me have informed me I'm
I've been called Daria on more than one occasion tbh, my outward expressiveness is not a very accurate reflection of my inner excitement until I know a person pretty well
