A Mundane Mystic
all my characters come with knives

Well hello there! I'm using this space here for my fandom cravings. These will be mostly plot-based, but I am also looking for some smutty intrigue to go along with the fluff and drama. My typical writing style for pairings includes strong relationships between the characters marred more by difficult circumstances and events out of their control than by interpersonal conflict within the couple. That said, I'm happy to get into drama and conflict if that's something you prefer in a doubling scenario. So if these are things that interest you, please do read on!
To get the semantics out of the way, I tend to be a pretty casual RPer in terms of post length and frequency. I work a full time job so I completely understand burnout and needing breaks. But, I've long since come to terms with the fact that RPing is my number one hobby. For the most part I'll be willing and able to get out at least one post a day. My typical length is flexible, preferring word quality over quantity, but I do try to match my partners to the best of my ability. This just means that if we're trading longer posts it may take me more time to respond. I don't deal in one-liners, usually posts are going to be at least 200+ words. Usually I try my best to match my partner in length, to give as good as I get so to speak. I prefer to plan and play in PMs. I am also more than willing to double, and your pairing is wholly your own to dictate so I'm happy to work with Canon x Canon, Canon x OC, or OC x OC. I will play any gender against any gender for my partner! And if you see a character on this list you want me to play for you, I don't mind at all if we both play the same person for each other. My biggest pet peeve with doubling is post length for both halves. I will be doing my best to match lengths between characters, writing roughly the same amounts for both halves. This is something that can make or break RPs for me, so while I'm by no means expecting perfection if it seems like one character is getting more "screentime" than the other it can really ruin the mood for me. As mentioned, I do want to include even just a little bit of smut, but these characters are highly plot-based. If the dynamic comes up at all, I tend to lean more submissive with my female characters. But I'm up for playing whatever dynamic you prefer for any doubled pairings!
All in all, I'm flexible on posting schedules and happy to accommodate whatever needs and desires my partners may have! With that all out of the way, see below for some of my elevator pitches on characters/ideas! I tend to be low on judgment for OCs, we're out here to have fun and enjoy all the drama and wish fulfilment our silly little hearts desire. Some suspension of disbelief is expected in general, so if you're also looking to play an OC don't be afraid to have fun with it. I'm a hype woman above all else!
I will do my best to include any potential trigger warnings ahead of time that may come up with any characters. I like things a little bit dark with my OCs, so I prefer my partners be informed!
Criminal Minds:
Full disclosure I haven't finished the original series and it may take me a while to get to that point. I'm currently somewhere in season 13 though, and I'm not bothered by spoilers whatsoever! This is one of those OCs that I could talk up an absolute storm about, she's got lore on lore on lore so I'm putting her at the top of my list!
Stranger Things:
Here are another few characters I have quite a bit of lore for. Would love to see them in action!
Red Dead Redemption 2:
I'm hitting a stride where I'm really missing this OC, not to mention just this game in general. Expect some spoilers for the game. Most plots will be based in the period of the game, but I'm willing to talk modern AUs as well!
Justified:
And now for the real long shot, because I was thinking about comfort shows and this came to mind. I have a big sentimental attachment to this 2010s FX gem, to the point that I have an unshakable interest in those rural, Appalachian settings in general. I've never seen anyone RPing this before, but I just figured... why not shoot my shot?
I won't be too concerned with canon in this case, especially since one of these guys is a pretty minor character. I'm operating on vibes alone here.
I do have fandoms I'm familiar with that I don't have any particular inspiration to write right now. I am not currently seeking the fandoms below for myself, only the ones above. I will gladly double for these but I am NOT looking for them as a standalone option. I'll leave them included in a list here as things I will gladly double for but am not actively seeking!
As of now that's the extent of ideas I have. I may update with more as I see fit, but please do DM me if anything in particular catches your interest! And if you've read this far... feel free to tell me what you're listening to, I'm just curious!~

The OC: Katerina Schovajsa AKA Katya AKA Kitty ~ The Other Genius
The Elevator Pitch: Kitty and Spencer were childhood prodigy best friends who lived right next door to each other growing up. These two were almost inseparable in that way where their parents collectively assumed they would end up together. After Spencer graduated from high school early and went on to better and brighter things, the two of them drifted apart. Now after years of estrangement that I could talk a lot about, the two are reuniting for the first time under the impression that the other hates them. (Spoiler Alert: Neither of them does.)
Pairing Buzzwords: Childhood Friends; Unresolved Tension; Rebuilding Bridges; Making Up for Lost Time; Scary in Sync; Hurt/Comfort in All Directions; Pestering from the BAU-Fam
Potential Settings: Both are BAU Agents (Canon-based); Spencer as an Agent/Kitty as a Victim (Canon-based); Both are Agents, but this time in an X-Files-esque Unit (AU); Spencer as an Agent/Kitty as a Spy (Loose Canon/AU); Spencer as an Unsub/Kitty as his Stalking Victim (AU)
Trigger Warnings: Mental Health Struggles including Severe Depression; References to Suicide Attempts/Suicidal Ideation; Death of a Family Member; References to SA/Manipulation; Stalking (Not in the fun Dark Romance Way); Stalking (in the fun Dark Romance way); All the General Criminal Minds Content

Here are another few characters I have quite a bit of lore for. Would love to see them in action!
The OC: Beatrice Buchanan AKA Bea AKA Bebe ~ She Rose Again
The Elevator Pitch: Once upon a time, Beatrice was practically a teacher's pet and on track to fight for the valedictorian title. After an unfortunate accident in a freak lightning storm, she was left comatose and covered in scars that should have healed but never did. Now that she's awake and her appearance brands her as a freak around Hawkins, she's more willing to claim that title and live her authentic "weird girl" self. That dormant strangeness may come as a surprise to her new pal Eddie, but it's probably a welcome one.
Pairing Buzzwords: Good Girl Gone Weird; Nerd Girl Blushes Easily; Otherworldly Banter; Sharing Music; Movie Nights; Intro to D&D; Nosy Friends
Potential Settings: Mostly Canon; Scooby-Doo Style Mysteries/Monster of the Week (AU); Music Industry/Fame (AU); High Fantasy/D&D Campaign-based Setting (AU)
Trigger Warnings: Allusions to a Near Death Experience; Drugs & Alcohol; Bullying; Dangerous Situations in General

The OC: Henrietta Kaine AKA Henri ~ Dustin's Original Babysitter
The Elevator Pitch: Hailing from Dustin's original hometown in New Jersey, Henrietta is down on her luck after aging out of foster care. With nowhere else to go, the Henderson family elects to take her in until she can support herself. What Steve expects to be competition in the Henderson's Best Friend department winds up being the mother hen that might just help him get over his rough break-up with Nancy. At least Henri seems like she might be more on-board with the plan of six kids and an RV.
Pairing Buzzwords: The Babysitter's Club; Lonely Rich Kid/Lonely Poor Girl; Finally Someone Else Gets It; Meddling Kids; Dancing; Hurt/Comfort
Potential Settings: Mostly Canon; Scooby-Doo Style Mysteries/Monster of the Week (AU); Surviving Every Horror Trope (AU)

The OC: Rosie-Mae Gillian AKA Mae AKA Rosie ~ The New Neighbor
The Elevator Pitch: Rosie-Mae Gillian and her aunt mysteriously appeared in Hawkins overnight, moving in to a small house right next door to the Byers. All anyone knows is that they came from Kentucky and barely brought anything with them. Rosie-Mae doesn't fit in, much like her new friend Jonathan, but there's more to it than that. She's definitely running from something, which means the rest of the town is quick to speculate about her sudden appearance and all the trouble it may bring.
Pairing Buzzwords: Us Against the World; Photography Buddies; Twee Before it was Cool; Fiercely Family-Oriented; Talk Shit Get Hit; Hurt/Comfort
Potential Settings: Mostly Canon; Scooby-Doo Style Mysteries/Monster of the Week (AU); Community College Competition (AU); Arranged Marriage (AU)

The OC: Lorelai Walker AKA Lorie AKA Lo ~ The Unofficial Doctor
The Elevator Pitch: Lorelai is a medical professional who finds herself in trouble after helping a couple of injured outlaws escaping a gunfight. With nowhere left to turn, she joins the very outlaws she helped and becomes a fresh member of the Van der Linde Gang. She's wholly out of place in the world of organized crime, but tries her best to accept a life she never imagined for herself. Luckily, she's caught the eye of one of the most reliable and morally correct members of the gang: Charles Smith.
Pairing Buzzwords: Borderline Toxic Work Ethics; Fish out of Water; Learning New Tricks; Patching Up Wounds; Comfortable Silences; Hurt/Comfort

The OC: Charlotte Ross AKA Lottie ~ The Mouthy Rookie Marshal
The Elevator Pitch: Charlotte joined the Marshals hoping to leave her old life behind. It doesn't matter to her that she's been assigned to the middle of nowhere Kentucky, as long as it's not her hometown. She fully expected to throw herself into her work with no thought at all to getting into a relationship, but her natural chemistry with fellow wise-ass Tim may complicate things. They have an undeniable draw, even if they do work together. It's only Charlotte's hesitance to get involved with anyone that really keeps them apart.
Pairing Buzzwords: Endless Witty Banter; Inadvertent Flirting; Drinking Buddies; Surprisingly Effective Work Partners; Secretive Past; Hurt/Comfort
Potential Settings: Kentucky Marshals (Canon); He's a Small Town Cop and she's a Mysterious Newcomer (AU)
Trigger Warnings: Allusions to a Near Death Experience; Potential Alcoholism; Past Abusive Relationships; Stalking (Not in a fun Dark Romance way); Mentions of Emotional Abuse/Manipulation; Mentions of Gaslighting

The OC: Imogene Maitlaw AKA Genie AKA Immy ~ The Green Thumb
The Elevator Pitch: The youngest member of the once infamous Maitlaw family, Imogene is the secret genius behind the family's grow operation - not that her older brothers would ever let her believe she was smart. After being run out of their home in Virginia, they've decided to set up roots in Kentucky. Now they're trying to align themselves with the growing Crowder enterprise, but Boyd may be looking to cut out the middle men once he realizes Imogene is the most even-tempered and useful Maitlaw. Combine that with the growing attraction between her and Jimmy, and Harlan may just be a fresh start.
Pairing Buzzwords: The Most Innocent Criminal Around; Plant Girl Just Wants to be Useful; The First Person to Treat her Right; Vaguely Star-Crossed Lovers; Protective Bodyguard Instincts; Hurt/Comfort
Potential Settings: Bluegrass Crimes (Canon); Going on the Run Together (AU)
Trigger Warnings: Abusive Family; Gaslighting/Manipulation; Brainwashing Victim; Drugs & Alcohol; Violent Criminal Activity
Since Jimmy is a pretty minor character in the grand scheme, I see him as something as a blank slate. Feel free to take whatever liberties you'd like!
