An Introduction
I've decided to take a new approach to my request thread as of the recent changes. But first, I will subject you to learning about me. Naturally, this is optional. You can skip this area and go on your way. But if curiosity compels you then please, continue. I personally just enjoy talking about myself. For anyone who cares, I am NB with she/they pronouns and will happily respond to she/her/they/hey/you stop stealing my food. I do present femme and I also didn't want to make a new request page. I am an age that I sometimes remember. Most of the time I find I am tired and that is my life.

There is something I feel people are mistaken about. I don't come on here for a turn on. I enjoy mature themes and adult writing. If you ask me about the kinks I will do, it really has nothing to do with what turns me on. I play to my character, the things they like are not necessarily thing I enjoy. It's not about that. There are many talented people here, everyone here is an adult(I hope), and I have a lot of fun experimenting with characters and ideas.

I could probably give you a range of experience, but at this point I can no longer remember. I've simply been roleplaying and writing for quite a few years. In fact, I have an English degree and focused on creative writing and I am well aware that I am probably screwed in the job market. So that's fun. But I write because I love it. Characters, story, drama, adventure, magic. I love it all.

Availability
Generally speaking, I like to be available to reply at least once a week. I will try to let you know if something is coming up, but if I just up and vanish, chances are I will return and explain. I lead a hectic life these days and somehow working from home I have less time. Honestly, feel free to nudge me if I have seemed to completely vanish, most likely I didn't realize I was gone that long. I am also not always capable of replying if I AM online. I actually check Bluemoon on my phone but I prefer to make replies when I have a computer available. So don't be offended if my profile says I'm online and I haven't said anything to you.

Roleplay Mediums
PMs. I may consider e-mail, but primarily I will roleplay through PMs. I've tried threads, I don't enjoy them and it has never gone well for me. Please don't try to convince me otherwise, I assure you it will not work.

Contacting me
I hope I don't have to ask given the rules. Please don't post here. Just message me. This is here as just a reminder, I want to make sure it's there. Also, I know this is a long looming thread, but I honestly really don't mind talking to people. In fact, I really like it when my partners like to talk outside of the rp. Sharing ideas, music, etc. So don't be afraid to just talk to me.

On a side note, if you find zero interest in roleplaying with me but are someone who wishes to have long conversations about musicals, feel free to message me.

About You
So, personally I don't really care who you are on the other side. Male, female, a bear who learned to type, what have you. You don't have to tell me except if you're a bear because I have questions. The only thing I ask is that you not be a jerk.

Definitely not happening
My F-list is below, but there are some definite buzz kills here that I will go over.

Same sex main character love interests as the only pairing: This is just something I haven't dabbled in enough and I am a little nervous writing. I am absolutely willing to have a pairing of the same sex I would just like some comfort zone buffers is all.

All sex no plot: This is the most boring thing in the world to me. I'm not the person for this. In fact I'll state it here, spicy scenes are bottom priority for me.

Modern day without supernatural/fantasy elements: I live in today, why do I want to roleplay it, too?

Avoiding conflict/drama: I don't know if you've ever enjoyed a story, but in most cases conflict is needed. Avoiding it is just terrible. When something is thrown at a character and they just go 'oh hey, it's fine, no big deal!' then why the hell am I here? It all just falls flat and there is really nothing to continue on with.

Romance only roleplays: I love romance in a story, I do. But if that's all, it gets stale fast.

First person perspective: This is something that I cannot seem to stand in roleplays. It is unappealing to me and a little disorienting when I write in third person perspective only to get something in a different POV.

One Liners/tiny posts: Nothing kills me more than me putting so much effort into a post and receiving one to two lines in response. I just can't do it. I feel like we should both be working to move the story along in scenes and just saying 'yeah, and then they did that.' and ending it there is truly disheartening. I understand not every post needs to contain many paragraphs, sometimes certain short posts move the story along no big deal. But when it is only a couple of sentences that does not move anything along and this becomes the trend of responses, I will very quickly lose interest.

The good stuff
Now down to the reason you're here. My interests and ideas. I know it's listed above, here is my F-list. Most of my maybes are negotiable as I do play to my character so my own likes and dislikes are generally irrelevant. So, onto things I DO enjoy.

Third Person Perspective: This is the POV I write in, and this is the POV I hope that all my partners respond. I know that sounds harsh, but it has happened to me too often after stating I will not do stories in other perspectives.

Already established relationships: I like to be able to jump into something and not have to have a whole introduction and how they met, etc. In romantic relationships it is interesting to strain them and see how much they can take or if they'll survive. And even break up, romantic love is never perfect and these bumps in the road pave the way for interesting character growth.

Revolution/Rebellion/Uprisings: It's one thing to fight each other, it's another to deal with the relationships of people who are in constant danger in fighting their rulers. And beyond that, how they interact with people on the other side.

Secret Relationships: I love the tension of needing to sneak around because it could result in death or ruin a reputation. There are interesting hoops to hop through and it's always a lot of fun.

Cruel guys with sweet girlfriends: There's something adorable about a guy who is willing to cut off the fingers of one person with a sweet lady he spoils. These probably work best with side characters, but still a concept I enjoy.

Jekyll and Hyde types: There's something interesting about seeing the worst side of a person completely manifested into one and then switching back to someone kind and reasonable.

Drama/Conflict/Tension: A story is nothing without it. Well, it's not enjoyable to me without it. If there is nothing in the way and it is all a smooth journey, then why do it? Everything has a consequences. Embrace it and the story will be better for it.

Fantasy: If I haven't said it enough, it is my primary go to. Unless we're going medieval/Victorian/past nonsense, I am unlikely to do anything that does not have fantasy or supernatural elements. It doesn't need to be heavy or normalized in the setting, I'll work with varying degrees.

Flawed Characters: I feel like I shouldn't need to put this here, but here it is! No one is perfect. In fact, perfect characters are really just flat and uninteresting. I don't care if your character is a loving Adonis. Who cares? I'm more interested in the mistakes to come and the scars that will be gained.

Dying Healers: I love magic having a cost and with that comes my love of playing dying healers. That the cost of being able to save lives is to slowly lose their own.

Adventure: Going from place to place discovering new things and new dangers. It's one of my favorite things.

Revenge: Being consumed by revenge can lead to different paths. In some cases acceptance. In others, destruction of oneself. Insanity. And so on. It's all rather interesting and I find it fun.

Convoluted Stories: Hell, if we're making it, why not make it as complicated and dumb as we want. Obviously there are some limits to that, but I don't mind having a billion hills and valleys.

Love triangle/squares/shapes: There's a lot of fun in messy relationship situations. This person loves this person, but they're into someone else and so forth. I thrive on conflict.

I will destroy anyone who has harmed a hair on your head: No notes. Just a thing I like.

New Ideas: Honestly, don't be afraid to bring up new ideas. I'm actually craving it. The worst I can say is no. Even if it's not my speed, maybe we can formulate something completely new.

My Ideas
I'm not going to put up everything about a story here because then you will know just how insane I am. So, instead, I will give a brief description and pairing ideas. I'll give the rest in a PM. If pairings are listed, the bold one is the role I plan to take.

Particular cravings:

The Coldfire trilogy. Nothing specifically from there, more taking some elements going on from it. If you're read this trilogy, go ahead and just message me because I have some thoughts and I need someone to talk to about those.

Vampires. I'm viewing a lot of media based on vampires and I'd like to explore some ideas of them. Whether it be taking a gothic approach of the monsters that represent our fears and desires or exploring the more urban fantasy struggles of them. Either way, I'd like to check it out. Heck, I might even be interested in toying with some Vampire the Masquerade classifications. I'm no expert but it'd be fun to try out. My biggest interest is exploring someone like Lucy who I believe to be the biggest threat in Dracula, someone who acts as prey to lure in her meal rather than go hunting like the other vampires. Also Astarion happened, so there's that.

Demon apocalypse human rebellion. Got some complex ideas, I just wanna do it.

Bored Tryant. I got through some inspirational stuff in Final Fantasy 14, and I liked Zenos. So I would like to toy with an utterly twisted relationship.

Forever
Vampire/Immortal

He knew loving a mortal could only ever lead to pain. So why? Why was he so foolish to fall for her? 'Till death do us part' was a vow he knew he would have to face if she did not take his eternal curse. It came swift, it took her too young. But when she woke again, she was a new person.

Cursed
Demon trapped in a warrior's body/Runaway

When you hear true love in a fairy tale, it is always the young hero who wins the maiden. The brave and handsome warrior. Not the monster he is meant to kill. So why is it, then, that the damsel in distress they found prefers the monster? What secrets does she hide?

Breath of Life
Reckless warrior/Healer

Life was complicated from the moment she was 'blessed' with the ability to save lives. The only cost was her own. Losing herself a little each time she used her gift. Yet still, she chose to follow a man who went without care, losing his life as if it was something easy to dispose of. In a world so dangerous, why did she choose him?

Obsession
Love triangle!

She was young and easily pawned off to a rich man who would stop at nothing to have her. Forgo a dowry, give the family a comfortable sum of money. Keep her in his home even before a wedding had taken place. He had to have her. Yet he scared her in every way possible. How foolish of her to think she would be able to enter a marriage for love. Perhaps that was what made her vulnerable to an affair. Yet what safety can their been under the roof of a jealous man?

River of Styx
Hades/Persephone

I would just very much like to do anything with these two. Whether we go with the classic myth or decide to do a modern twist on it all. I'd be happy to hear new ideas or share some of my own.


Fandoms
This will be a short list. I almost exclusively do canon/canon ideas, though. Not all of these have to be done in the original settings.

The Adventures of Duan Surk
Agnis/Duan

Final Fantasy VI
Terra/Locke
Daryl/Setzer

Final Fantasy XIV
Au Ra/Hyur
I more want to work in the setting rather than anything canon.

Mixed Final Fantasy
Locke/Terra/Cloud

Legend of Mana
Heroine/Elazul

Valkyrie Profile
Lenneth/Arngrim

Dragon Quest V
Bianca/Hero

Experimentation
As of late, there are some things here and there I would actually just like to try or incorporate into a roleplay. They're really closer to prompts.

The Gothic: Crumbling/decaying homes and lifestyles. The sense of horror and dread at what is happening. Insanity, fear, or debauchery that looms over and plans to destroy their lives.

Something inspired by Drakengard: This one is weird as I have never played any of them. However, I am interested in trying something inspired by 1 or 3. The price of pacts and the like. The unhappy or bittersweet endings. Or things that are just outright strange.

Concubine out for blood: I don't have a complete idea for this, but it's something I would like to test out. A faraway princess captured and forced to be the usurper's concubine. Only for her to be plotting to kill him and take her birthright back. Perhaps have an affair with her former betrothed and plot together how they will take the kingdom back.
As they danced together she says "You know I belong to someone."
He says "I know." With a grin and dips her, "you belong to me."


Mystic Messenger Inspired: I found myself back in this game. I wouldn't know how, but I certainly wouldn't knock anything inspired by it. Even bad endings. Especially bad endings. Unless it's Zen or Yoosung. I just...no. 707 is always my favorite. And Unknown.

Star-Crossed: I would just like to try something that will always end in failure. If it is repeated or if no matter what they do it simply cannot be. An element of futility is sort of interesting. Knowing that no matter what is done the result will be the same because the stars are so angered you must be punished.

A list of things I've read, don't want to roleplay but include ideas I like: The Remarried Empress, Under the Oak Tree, When Fate Finds Us, The Last Straw, I've Become a True Villainess, Like Wind on a Dry Branch, Karina's Last Days, My Happy Marriage, etc.

So, I love Twilight Princess but it is not a good game. It’s just a pretty box of wasted potential. It tried to have more characters and such but they become irrelevant super fast. So there is so much that everyone thought about, but then I dunno they ran out of time and money? All of those things are possible. But I don’t really feel like Nintendo has a lot of love for it, which I get. So, I’ll just sit in my shake cube with it.
 
So general question for anyone who actually reads this: what are your death plans? Not how you’re gonna die but how you want things handled. For me? Cremation and turned into a diamond. Haunted jewelry for my family.
 
And I have people who know my wishes. No cremation, home funeral if they can hash it, and then just burn me up and make me a diamond. Oh! And no casket or anything, just the cardboard box thing since they can’t directly put you into the flames. Ideally, I would want my partner to be the one to press the button if they allow it. I don’t really want my family putting a whole lot of money on a funeral. And if I die in Japan I want specific people to partake in the ceremony where you get the remaining bones and put them into the urn with chopsticks because in the US they have to take any remaining bone pieces and grind them to a powder before family members can receive them. I would personally love it if someone was able to keep parts of my bones and use them for something. Like a charm on a necklace or whatevs. Put my diamond in my own bones!!!! It sounds super weird but like, these are the things I want. And if you’re like ‘but Haunted jewelry!’ Or whatever, that’s like the goal for me. I’ll be hanging out haunting people by being like ‘you forgot to turn out the lights yo!’ Or ‘your taste in shows kind of sucks’ maybe just watch them garden or something and be like ‘save the bees.’
 
Viera are super pretty but I’m too attached to my Au Ra character to change over. Kind of the whole reason I started playing FFXIV. Ah well, I get to see neat designs now.
 
You know what would’ve been a cooler story than Fantastic Beasts? A story about the founders of Hogwarts and what exactly their falling out was or something. There would’ve been no expectations other than you know by the end Salazar Slytherine is a jerk and split up the four.
 
I personally don’t think they’re going to change anything about it, but I hope The HD version of Rune Factory 4 fixes the insane jump in difficulty.
 
I’m in the final chapter of Rune Factory, which becomes accessible when a random event comes around, and the difficulty went from kind of hard but not impossible to I can barely get through a room without dying. So, that’s fun.
 
So a thing I’ve always found disturbing about the stage version of Phantom of the Opera is that he wrote a play to make Christine be seen as a sexual object while simultaneously using it as a means of gaining ‘consent’ from her to make her say she has ‘decided’ to be taken by him.
 
So a change in Phantom from being adapted into a musical I always liked better was narrowing down the Final conflict to ‘Save Raoul and marry me or let him die.’ Because everything about that is a bit stronger than ‘marry me ooooor everyone dies because I’ll light the mass amount of gun powder under the Opera.’ Like, this selfless act is closer to a trolly problem than a true decision she had to make. It also gives more character to them and Raoul begging her to just let him die because all he wants is for her to be free and she would rather sacrifice her own happiness and freedom and know he lived than watch him die.
 
So in the most recent performance of Phantom I saw, they gave Christine considerably more agency. In turn they gave the Phantom more of an infantile angle. Where he treated everything more as playthings and the only precious thing was music. So they kind of have the good back and fourth of her intrigue and absolute fear of him.
 
I'm just gonna bump this thread and start maybe working on messages to people I have vanished on. So, gonna work on that. But otherwise my life will hopefully level out eventually since some things are getting better.
 
Nothing much has changed in terms of not going out, I already wasn’t gonna leave the house, but it feels so much worse when you’re like ‘well I wasn’t GONNA but now you said I can’t.’ And when I wanna order food drop offs, I feel hesitant because I also don’t want them to come out.
 
I’ve been just listening to every musical I own the sound track to....it’s only a matter of time before I use Spotify to track down the ones I don’t. The madness will sink in, soon.
 
I feel like Lion King on Broadway was the first and last time tried to do something interesting with a cartoon property turned stage musical. Because I watched the Frozen stage musical that had some interesting effects to make everything look magical and cool, but was basically the same thing as the movie with things that were added but completely forgettable. I think there was a maypole scene at the beginning? And Elsa got pants in act 2 that they never explain but look neat. And because I saw the touring version, Anna and Kristoff bond together via arguing while climbing up to a bridge. They had a song....I think.
 
So did anyone know Bring it On had a musical? I do, because I saw it. And listening to the soundtrack years later I’m like “yeah I don’t remember any of this.” And it kind of fails the test of figuring out the story on the music alone. Like the fact that the main character gets sent to a completely different high school at the beginning. But whatevs. Just gonna live it’s life. I suppose.
 
I’m just gonna say it, Jean Val Jean has every right not to be trusted by Javert. Like the first big conflict they have he’s like ‘hey, lemme just get this woman’s kid and I’ll be right back!’ And Javert rightly replies ‘yeah you broke parole so like, I don’t know if I can trust you, man.’ And then they have an admitted pretty cool sing off that ends in Javert getting knocked out. But like, Jean Val Jean didn’t come back. I mean, I know Javert wasn’t giving him a chance so like, deal voided, but still. Then he shows up again and is like ‘don’t worry bro, not gonna kill you. If you still want to arrest me, Javert, here’s my address.’ And Javert running into him again in the sewers and Jean Val Jean going ‘hey I need to take this guy to a hospital, arrest me later?’ Javert has his whole big thing about not wanting to be in a convict’s debt, except he let him go in the sewers....so doesn’t that make them even? Either way no reason to jump off a bridge, just saying.
