• Greetings, my fellow nerds, pervs and horny weirdos!
  
  The names Mythic Hedonist, and welcome to my strange lil corner of the internet. I've been around the block a few times, so to speak, and I'm currently returning from a bit of an unplanned hiatus. Real life can be a bit of a bitch sometimes, y'know? So I'm easing back into things, and I'm looking for… well, pretty much anything and everything. My interests are broad-ranging, swinging from one extreme to another. Seriously, sometimes I wish I could just pick a lane and stay in it. But nah, I'll write anything from epic fantasy adventures, to the lewdest, slice of life smut fest, to an apocalyptic character study, to pretty much anything you could want. Doesn't really help narrow things down, does it?
  
  Oh well. Hopefully, though, whatever you're looking for, there should be something in this thread to interest you. Be warned, I do have a little bit of a tendency to ramble on and write a lot. But, y'know, we accept that size doesn't matter, right? So hopefully all these big, thick paragraphs don't scare you off.
  
  Anyway, if you see anything you like, shoot me a message and let's discuss. Or hell, even if you don't see anything you like but you think I seem like a cool dude(Which I totally am), then hit me up for a chat and let's see what we can come up with together.
• TL;DR - An entirely optional section you can check if you wanna learn more about the loser who created this dumpster fire of a thread.
  
  I am a thirty-year-old dude from the UK. I love to read, write and play video games. I'm a huge nerd, and some brand of queer. I used to think of myself as pansexual, and if you forced me to pick a specific flavour of gayness, that's probably what I would choose. But I prefer queer. It gives more wiggle room.
  
  I adore anything and everything fantasy-related. It's my favourite genre to write in, to play games in, to generally just consume. I love it in all its forms, though I slightly prefer anything that's packed with magic, monsters, fantasy races, badass swords with equally badass names, y'know? But I also quite enjoy science fiction. Again, I'm open to all different flavours of sci-fi, but my personal favourite is anything with galactic spanning quests, a myriad of aliens, and cool spaceships clashing in epic space battles. So basically Mass Effect. But aside from all this, I'm open to pretty much anything. Post-apocalyptic, historical, modern/slice of life, whatever. You name it and I'm down to give it a go.
  
  |n terms of what I'm currently consuming, there's too much. I'm replaying The Last of Us, have just started yet another Cyberpunk playthrough that I'll never finish, and am dipping my toes into The Alters. As for books, I'm flitting between Shadow of the Gods, The Poppy War, and A Darker Shade of Magic. Oh, and I've just finished Ironheart and though it was pretty good. Honestly, probably one of the stronger Marvel TV shows. I'm also low-key kinda pumped for the new Superman film. I've got some high hopes.
  
  Another fun fact about me is that I get whiplash from my taste in music. Like, one day I can be listening to rock/metal, then swap to country, then to classic rock & roll, then to some basic pop vibes(transitioning to a focus on Sabrina Carpenter if I'm feeling slutty), followed by indie music, Disney music, Eminem, etc. You get the idea. I dunno how I live like this, it's like I'm a Sim and somebody's just fuckin' messing with me.
  
  I consider myself to be a pretty friendly and open guy. While we might be here to write all sorts of erotic and cool stories, I also like to make friends. If you wanna keep things strictly biz, that's fine by me. But if you wanna chat, get all nerdy and geeky together about good books or games, then I'm totally down. Feel free to chat with me about absolutely anything, everything, or nothing. It's up to you.
  
  Following on from that, it's wild that I should have to say this, but I know what men can be like(they're absolute trash, just the worst). I'm not here to cyber with you or try and start anything. I'm happily married with 2 dickheads cats, and 1.5 kids. Sometimes text can be misinterpreted, so if ever the vibe seems off or too flirty in our chats, just call me out on it. But trust me, I'm not interested in whoever's behind the keyboard. Unless you happen to be my wife. Or Ncuti Gatwa, but I doubt he's interested in fat, depressive white bois.
  
  Anyway, that's enough about me, I'm really not that interesting, so let's move on!
• TL;DR - Multi-paragraph writer. Literate, detailed & open to any ratio of plot/smut. First or Third Person. Messages or Threads, Discord is a maybe. Replies once a week, maybe more.
  
  As I mentioned in my intro, I'm open to pretty much anything. I don't like to put a number or a percentage on it, but I'm happy with any amount of plot or smut. I love 'em both. I'll happily write super simple, filthy smutfests with the barest hint of a plot. I'll also just as happily write something intense character study, or an epic plot with multiple characters and themes all woven together. So just lemme know what you're in the mood for and I will provide.
  
  I'm super queer, so I'm happy to write with anybody, and with any kind of pairing. I fuck with girls, I fuck with dudes, and I fuck with non-binary kings/queens/whatever. I am admittedly mainly looking for heterosexual pairings, probably because that's what most of my actual sexual experience is. But I'll play any roles, male or female. I don't care what your gender is, and I am open to some more… fruity roles if you've got a good idea in mind, so don't be shy.
  
  Like most people on here, I assume, I enjoy writing. When my mental health isn't spiralling, I'd say I love it. It's a hobby, a passion and something I wanna pursue in life. So, that said, I like to think I'm not half bad. I'd say I'm decently literate and capable of putting a few solid paragraphs together per post to move the story along. That said, I'm aware this is just a hobby. We're on here for fun, so I'm never gonna be too intense. Plus, mistakes happen. As long as your posts make sense and aren't riddled with mistakes and errors, we should be fine.
  
  As far as post length goes, I don't have any real requirements other than at least one decent paragraph. I don't do one-liners. I need something to work with, and I just feel like there's not much you can do with one line. I tend to offer at least two decent paragraphs, and I don't really have an upper limit. It all depends on how excited I am and where we are within the story. Opening posts are obviously much longer, while action or dialogue-heavy scenes will likely be shorter.
  
  My wiring style varies, and I try to tailor it to my partner so that we mesh well. I can happily write in first person or third person. I'm also quite fond of taking a sorta DM role as well, guiding your characters on their adventures, giving you choices to choose from, etc. Though it's worth noting, I don't really do system-based plays. It's been far too long since I've done anything like D&D and I dunno all the rules. Typically, I tend to stick with a freeform style with the option of some incredibly basic mechanics if you want.
  
  Personally, I'd prefer to keep things on Blue Moon. I'm happy writing via threads or messages, and Discord is a maybe. I've never been very good at juggling multiple sites, so you'll have to convince me. Or be like, I dunno, the coolest person in the world.
  
  I don't really have much of a schedule, being the disorganised man-child that I am. Generally, I'd say to expect replies from me once a week, and then anything more than that is just a happy little bonus. Between family and work, my schedule varies quite a bit. Some weeks, I've got time to fire off replies so fast they'll have your head spinning. Then other weeks, I've barely got the capacity for one reply. But as long as you're patient and don't try to make me feel shitty for not replying fast enough, we should be grand.
  
  I will say, I'm very, very patient, and I'm also ghost-friendly. So if, for whatever reason, we're not vibing, don't feel like you need to give me a big explanation. I'm a big boy, I can handle rejection. Also, if real life gets too much and you disappear for months at a time, just hit me up when you're back. I can pick up a roleplay after several months, not a problem.
  
  Something that's pretty important to me is brainstorming and communication. Part of what makes roleplaying so fun is throwing ideas around with somebody else and seeing what we can come up with together. I don't necessarily need you to plan out every itty bitty detail with me, but I want a partner who will contribute some ideas. If you're open to having some healthy OOC communication to throw some ideas around, then you'll be my new bestie! And feel like you need to agree with my thoughts or ideas. I love it when people tear my ideas apart and stitch them back together, so don't hold back.
  
  When it comes to brainstorming and planning, I tend to utilise visuals a lot. Faceclaims, outfits, weapons, locations, even sexy stuff. I just find it helps me to build a mental picture of everything. I tend to incorporate these into my posts as well, just as a sprinkling of something extra. Obviously, if you'd rather I didn't, just let me know. Also, my preferences tend to be for real images or artwork with a more realistic style.

• Despite how much I've written, the below list of kinks is far from exhaustive. I know, crazy right? But if you find yourself wondering about something I haven't listed, just ask! I consider myself to be a pretty open-minded guy. The most I'll do is politely decline, but I'll certainly never shame anybody for their kinks.
  
  Also, just because I've written a lot of the descriptors in first person, I do realise that we are not doing these things to each other, we're writing about characters. Which is crazy that this is a thing I have to say, but there it is. Also, all links are completely NSFW. I'm a horny perv and I like to share, so enjoy.

Original Ideas​

Starborn
Setting: Space Opera
Pairing: DM x Wannabe Space Pirate/Mercenary
Kinks: Pretty much anything you could want
TL;DR: Let me DM your adventures in a galaxy full of action, adventure, cool spaceships and exotic aliens?

Details

For decades, the name Morgan Starborn was known throughout the galaxy. Depending on who was telling the story, he was a fearless adventurer, a cunning mercenary, a brave rebel, or a vicious pirate. The exploits of Morgan Starborn were told in every corner of the galaxy, until, one day he disappeared. Leaving no trace, all he left behind was a wife and young daughter on a backwater farming planet.

Now, fifteen years later his daughter of the same name is ready to leave her mark on the galaxy. She was born and raised on the stories of her father and hungers to leave her small world behind and explore the stars and, just maybe, see if she can discover what happened to her father.

So yeah. I'm looking for somebody to take the role of Morgan Starborn(name not set in stone) as she manages to claim her first starship and ventures out into the galaxy seeking fame and fortune. Will she become a feared pirate, or will her name become a beacon of hope in an otherwise dark galaxy? The choice is yours. I wanna DM your adventures, so hit me up and lets chat. I'm pretty open and easy, ado this could be super story focused, an action packed space romp, or something smutty. Lemme know what you're in the mood for.

Monster Bait Wanted!
Setting: Fantasy, modern or medieval
Pairing: Female x Monster
Kinks & Themes: Monster Sex, Dub-con/Non-Con, possible bad ending.
TL;DR: Wanted! Beautiful women to act as bait in a professional monster hunt! Generous danger pay offered and safety guaranteed!

Details

The age of industry and science is upon us. The civilised races of the world build their cities taller and wider, belching smoke into the sky. But there are still many forces in the world, and wild, save creatures that stand in the way of progress.

Your character is a young woman who has accepted the above job, acting as monster bait for a professional monster hunter. Perhaps she's down on her luck and in dire need of quick cash. Or perhaps she's eager to break into the monster hunting industry? Either way, she's eager for the job. But things soon go wrong. The monsters that plague this world are dangerous and savage, and the hunter is soon bested by the beasts, leaving your character at her mercy. But to her horror(or perhaps excitement?) they don't wish to harm her. Much. Instead they long to have their way with her body, and she soon finds herself getting ravaged and used by a pack of horny monsters. Is this how she meets her demise? Or does this become a longer term story following her descent into corruption, depravity, and breeding?

An alternative idea is that the hunter is something of a scholar, with rather perverse ideas. He longs to study monsters, and uses women as bait to observe and study their mating habits, tricking these women, leaving them at the mercy of the creatures. This one would likely focus on a rotating cast of women as he studies different monsters.

Let me know what you think. I see this as being rather smutty, but I'm open to adding in some more story.

Of the wild and all that dwells there
Setting: High Fantasy, possibly with some renaissance or victorian vibes.
Pairing: Explorer x Orc
Kinks & Themes: Adventure, Romance, Discovery, Taboo Relationships, Monster Sex.
TL;DR - She's not like other girls! She just wanted to explore the wild lands, be free and maybe fall in love with an enigmatic Orc chieftain who's nothing like she expected.

Detail

The Wild has fascinated Lady Isabella Gwenithar for as long as she can remember. But, of course, she wasn't exactly interested in the Wild in the same way that her peers were. She didn't long to see great dragons trounced by valiant knights like other young ladies. Nor did she share her mother and father's beliefs that the Wild was a thing to be hunted, broken and tamed. No, Lady Isabella longed to explore The Wild as a scholar, to learn its workings and study it's secret, wild magics. In particular, she longed to lead an expedition into The Western Badlands to catalogue the peoples and monsters of The Wild. Whether it was Orcish tribes, Goblin packs, Centaurs, great dragons or yet more exotic and unheard of beings.

But alas. Such an interest is not deemed suitable for a proper young lady. Instead, Isabella is expected to focus on finding herself a suitable husband of good standing and money. As her mother informs her, her goal in life is to marry well so that she may live a comfortable life. But, of course, such things hold no interest to young Isabella. Her father, warden of the west, bound to protect the kingdom from the creatures that roam the badlands, was always hunting. Every so often, some savage beast would roam too close, and he would gather his men to fell it, bringing home a trophy from the slain beast. As much as Isabella detested her father's love of hunting, she would often try to sneak into his hunting groups in disguise, desperate to see the creatures of the Wild in the flesh.

However, when Isabella's parents were killed by a drake on one particular expedition, she found herself with much more freedom and significantly more money. She inherited their estate and wealth, much to the abhorrence of her peers. So after a suitable time spent in mourning and fending off vulture-like suitors, she did the only logical thing. She arranged an expedition and set off for the wild. However, she did the one thing no other expedition has ever done. She enlisted the help of a local, an Orcish chieftain. However, upon meeting her Orcish guide, Isabella discovers that he/she is not like other Orcs. They are rather inquisitive and also search for knowledge and understanding of the world around them. As they travel together, Isabella can't help but feel a growing bond between them, bordering on romance, held back only by her societal taboos. What happens when she breaks those taboos? Is she open about her love with the Orc Chieftain, or does she try to hide it? And will she take him back home with her when the time comes? Of course, that requires them to survive their perilous adventure through the Wild.

So basically I'm looking for somebody to play as Isabella(name not set in stone) while I take a sorta semi-DM role. The Orc Chieftain will be my main character, but I figured I'd also control the world around our characters, guiding their expeditions. I figure this is going to be mainly story focused, with a fair amount of romance. But I'm open to including more smut, letting her get fucked by more monsters, whatever.

I'd love to hear any thoughts and ideas.

The Photoshoot
Setting: Slice of life
Pairing: Girlfriend/Daughter x Photographer & Assistant
Kinks: MMF, Dub-Con, Possible Blackmail, Photography & Videography.
TL;DR: A hot girl is tricked into fucking on camera by a perky photographer and his assistant.

Details

I have two different ideas for this one but they both follow the same kinda trope; a beautiful woman being seduced/tricked/blackmailed by a perky photographer and his assistant.

The first idea is that your character is a faithful, loving girlfriend. Her boyfriend is out of town for his birthday, but she decides to surprise him with a sexy phtotoshoot. After a bit of research, she hires my characters. At first she's a little nervous, but my character seem professional and a are rather charming, helping her to feel comfortable around them. Little does she know they have taken a liking to her and are eager to see just how far they can push her. Everything starts professional enough, taking a variety of pictures in different outfits; cosplays, sexy dresses, whatever else. But then they push her a little, telling her how much her boyfriend would love some pictures of her in some racy lingerie and, eventually, nude. Then once they've got her out of her clothes, they really start to have some fun, turning things sexual. Maybe she's really naive, and they convince her that if it's for the photo shoot, it's not cheating. Or perhaps they blackmail her with the nude photos? Or they could have been giving her drinks and take advantage of her being tipsy?

The second idea is very similar, except it focused on the rebellious daughter of wealthy, conservative family. The kinda rich family that have family portraits done every few years. This time, everything has been done apart from your characters individual portrait. When your character arrives for her photoshoot, the guys can tell how much she hates it, and they prey on her rebellious nature. It starts innocent enough, as they encourage her to let her hair down and style herself as she pleases for the photoshoot. But they things take a turn.
"I bet your dad would hate it if you undid a few buttons, showed some skin, y'know?" One of them says, slowly talking her into wearing less and less, until they've got her on her knees, looking up at the camera as she takes a cock in her mouth.

I see this as being rather smutty and short term/a one-shot, but I'd also love to discuss ideas to turn it into a longer term plot.

April Fools!
Setting: Slice of life
Pairing: Siblings
Kinks: Incest, Romance, Anything else
TL;DR: Aprils Fools joke goes wrong, leading to accidental incest.

Details

Our characters are siblings who have always been a little bit too close. They've never crossed any lines, but it's not far away. They're far too comfortable sharing a bed, getting changed around each other and talk about absolutely everything, including their sex lives. One day, however, their parents inform them that one of them is adopted. Our characters handle it well and slowly, over the course of the day both of them come to a realisation.

The feelings that they've had aren't actually wrong then, and soon both of them are acting on it. They could go all out and fuck, or it could just start small, with first kisses and a hot and heavy makeup session. But then that night, the parents reveal that it was an Aprils fools joke, the revelation filling our characters with dread. And yet, the line has already been crossed. They've had a taste. Both of them want more, and they're not sure if they can resist.

So yeah, that's the gist. It could go a lot of different ways, whether it's a dirty, depraved smut fest, or a bit more of a slow burn. Either way, lemma know what you think and lets discuss some ideas.

All that glitters
Setting: High Fantasy
Pairing: Adventurer x DM
Kinks: Pretty much anything you could want.
TL;DR: Let me take you on an adventure in a vibrant, diverse fantasy world full of magic, quests and danger.

Details

The realms of Orgosia are vast, and bountiful. They stretch from soft, southern shores to the frigid peaks of the North; from the western coast broken into a labyrinth of rocky islands, to the eastern cities where explorers sail through stormy seas to wild and unnamable lands. Fractured into a dozen kingdoms, Orgosia is full of opportunity and danger.

Many adventurer has made their mark, achieving fame and fortune. There are always quests to be found and monsters to be slain. There are countless ancient ruins promising wealth and mystical artefacts for those that can avoid their traps. Lords and kings always have need for an adventurer for hire, not to mention mercenary groups and less savoury organisations that offer more shady jobs for those willing to get their hands dirty.

You are, well, we shall soon see exactly who you are. Your story is an old one; born of humble origins and dreaming of adventure. Well, events will soon transpire that change your life forever, setting you on the path of adventure. The one matter to be decided is whether you will become the greatest adventurer of your time? Or will you fall at the first hurdle, like so many before you.

So you get the idea, right? I'm looking to take the role of DM/storyteller, opposite your character. As for who the hero of out story is? Well, that could be anything; a holy knight, a barbarian, a cunning rouge, an aspiring villain, or whatever we can think of. Vibes and kinks wise, this could include pretty much anything you want. We could enjoy some easy, light hearted adventures, or we could explore something darker and grittier. Let me know what you're in the mood for.

Also if you wanna take the role of DM instead, then let me know, we can discuss.

Behind the facade
Setting: Modern
Pairings: Heiress x Bodyguard
Kinks: Taboo Pairing, Risk, Romance
TL;DR: An unlikely romance between a stoic bodyguard and an infamous heiress.

Details

When my character is assigned as the bodyguard to a notorious young heiress, he thinks he knows what to expect. After all, it doesn't take much research to put together that she's just another spoilt rich girl spending daddy's money, getting not trouble for the fun of it and to boost her social media following. He's had plenty of jobs like this before, so it should be easy money.

And then they meet for the first time, and he gets a startling glimpse behind the facade. He's surprised to find that this young woman is witty, feisty, well-read and intelligent. She keeps him on her toes, and more time they spend together the more he gets the sense of something sinister, more so than just a controlling, manipulative father. Over time, feelings begin to grow between the two of them until neither one can deny it any more.

Do they run away together, seeking to start a new life away from everything they know? Or is her father into some shady shit that threatens their lives? Or hell, maybe he's part of some sinister plot, and the daughter feels compelled to stop him.

Hit me up if you're interested and let's discuss and flesh this out a bit more.

Xeno Scum!
Setting: Fantasy or Sci-Fi
Pairing: Monster Hunter x Monsters
Kinks: Alien/Monster Sex, Taboo, Possible Dub-Con, Possible Corruption, Possible Bad Ends
TL;DR: Sexy huntresses and warriors discover the pleasures that their targets can bring.

Details

So this one is pretty basic for now, but I'd love to discuss some ideas revolving around monster hunters getting fucked by all manner of monsters that they are supposed to hunt. I've got loads of possible ideas for this that I will eventually list below. Does it start off somewhat non-con, with your character learning to love monster cock? Does your character use her feminine charms to her advantage? Do we follow a rotating cast of huntresses who fall to a monster and meet their end?

Whatever you're in the mood for, lemme know and let's chat. I figure this could easily be any kind of fantasy setting, or even a sci-fi world full of aliens and spaceships.

Villainous
Setting: Anything you want
Pairings: DM x Villain
Kinks: Anything you want
TL;DR: Let me DM your villains attempts at evil and villainy?

Details

This is a pretty basic one, but I'd love to do something revolving around an evil character, in whatever setting you want. Could be an evil sorceress, a mad scientist, a corrupt politician, a supervillain, whatever you want. I wanna explore their descent in evil and rise to power as they attempt to accomplish their goals. Of course, it's up too you if they are actually successful, or get thwarted at every opportunity.

Survival at all costs
Setting: Zombie Apocalypse
Pairings: Siblings
Kinks: Incest, Twisted Romance, Risk, Toxic Relationship, Evil Characters.
TL;DR: Siblings find love with each other in the apocalypse as they do what they have to do to survive, slowly becoming the villains of the story.

Details

So the idea with this one is that our characters are siblings that have survived the zombie apocalypse together. They've learned to rely on each other and, being alone for so long, have formed a more intimate bond than that of siblings. I figure the story would start about a year into the apocalypse. Our characters have lost everyone and everything. They rely on each other, and a twisted form of lust and romance has been building between them. Neither of them can deny it any longer. But eventually, our characters find an opportunity for safety when they are welcomed by a walled settlement. It's a rare opportunity to find a new normal. But our characters soon realise they don't want normal. They want each other. The trials they've faced have warped them, and in order to guarantee each other's safety, they decide the only way is to take control of their new home. So they navigate the politics of this settlement, doing whatever it takes to convince or eliminate those in their way.

So yeah, I wanna play the bad guys, and I think it could be fun to explore their fall/corruption and the things they start doing for each other. One idea I have was that they could be seen together by somebody from their old life and, fearing what they might say, the siblings kill them, sparking their bloody path to the top. Just a thought, but either way, there's definitely a lot we could explore here.

 

[Mythic Hedonist]

Bump!

It's been a hot minute since I was last on here and I'm looking to get back into the swing of things. This thread is a bit of a work in progress, but hit me up if you see anything you like, I'd love to discuss some ideas.
