These are more like loose ideas floating around in my head. I might eventually update my RT for this, might not, a bit slammed on RPs as is.
So, flavor of the month for me (and I will not apologize for this) is very much just smut/smut-adjacent plays. No, that doesn't mean two characters instantly stripping naked and going at it like their lives depend on it. I want characterization. Dialogue. Backstories & history and a good reason why these two are fucking. (other than both being hot, of course - but like, that's such a bare-boned reason). I want to write sexual tension almost as much as the sex itself, but alas, I've been writing so much plot in the past few months that I'm genuinely afraid I'm gonna forget how to write smut at the rate I'm going LOL.
But on the other hand, and I'm aware these two cravings are inherently in opposition with one another - I really want to write characters struggling with their attractions to someone they shouldn't be lusting after. I'm a bit of a sucker for the pinning, the how easy would it be to just g i v e i n. But nope. Call me twisted, but as the writer I derive way too much amusement making my cast struggle with themselves. Along similar veins, I'm really in the mood to write opposition. Light & dark. Divine & profane. The forbidden. The ex MC never got over. Something fucked up and intense, basically. Hate-sex? The I fucking hate you with every fiber of my being, and I fucking hate that I scream your name into the pillow and the voidness that is my heart. You are going to pay for this. I kind of want to write a modern setting? I'm almost afraid to say this because my muse is so inconsistent for modern. But I wanna write fast cars and girls draped upon the hood of said cars. Or the backseat, not picky.
BUT, and of course there's a but, I'm also in the mood for light & humorous? Lay on the b a n t e r. The, you think you are the boss? Think again. Perhaps it's telling that I've been writing a ton of 'charmers'. Guys & gals that wield their charisma like a weapon, who may or may not actually be dead inside. Mostly because I highkey want to write flirtation. The back and forth, the will they or won't they. The tension too thick to slice through. I wanna write bad girls and haughty whatevers, who might find themselves in quite the predicament. I wanna write pride's folly and the consequences thereof. One of my current rps got me really into the idea of relative inexperience against way too experienced. Being shown the ropes literally and figuratively? Kind of hot.
What does this mean in terms of plots? Who the fuck knows, man. I tend to find that my muse demands specific character dynamics/relationship dynamics than anything else. The characters are just vague blobs that can be filled in, but it's how they interact that makes me wanna write.
