Possible New Tumblr RPG???

Shot in the dark here, but I recently got reinterested in D&D, RPGs, and the like, and since I've been stuck on one particular hyperfixation/special interest for a while... it may have spawned a bit of an interest for me.

Would anyone be interested in a new Tumblr managed by me, where I set out a sort of @ask-fantasy-sanders-sides style story? (And for the tag, if you're not comfortable with this, lmk and I won't, I'm not sure if you're the first to do this particular style of game before? But the style is massively inspiring and interesting and feels like it would work well with the story I'm planning.)

It won't be directly related to any fandom, except D&D, and since I don't really actively play canon D&D at all (I tend towards Homebrew RNG RPGs with family), it likely won't align perfectly with D&D lore or mechanics, but I have the DM Guide, Player's Handbook, and Monster Manual on hand, so hopefully it'll at least be recognizable.

And to clarify: it will be 18+. There will be explicit scenes, both in gore and some more mature themes; this may include, at times, themes of sex, kink/BDSM/fetish, drugs, violence, and more. The overarching plot is mostly planned out, but the internal plot points, adventures, and interactions can be suggestions, my own ideas, or mixes of the two. The characters are OCs that were originally based on actors and their characters, but have since defied their origin to the point of their only similarity coming in their personalities, if that, and a slight hint in their backstories.

In terms of a teaser for interest?

...

A secluded Wizard searching for answers to his sudden inability to remember things, cursed with everything around him seeming to go wrong in the perfect ways, and a tower of cursed, blessed, and unknown magicks, tomes, items, and creatures that may or may not play a part in his problems.

A Human with no class, beloved sweetheart of his village, little to no exposure to magic, races, or otherly knowledge, with only one life experience under his belt that could be called an adventure, but otherwise nothing of interest every having occurred, and nothing planned in the future, nor does he have any interest in adventures or quests in particular. Only, the universe seems to see this as a challenge as a single afternoon changes everything he could have thought possible.

An aspiring Bard that appears to be mostly human, if not for his lack of human knowledge, culture, social etiquette, and the occasional non-human event that only adds to his strangeness, as much as an open book as he may be. Despite his Bardic aspirations, he doesn't think himself very interesting... until he meets a terrible band of adventurers that may or may not have saved his life.

A raging Half-Elf of Drow ancestry, defying Barbaric Class and his home and family to prove himself... to himself. And even if he wanted to avoid the terrors that come with the little band of mischief, frustration, and endless headaches, they seem to have already become attached to him. Not that he really wanted to. They seemed to have made him become attached to them as well.

A world that seems, at the surface, simple, but upon closer inspection, contains signs and symbols that don't fit no matter what way you look at it. A point of view that has no reason to exist. Things feel just slightly off, as if the universe itself were... wrong. Just enough to add tension to adventurers' shoulders as they travel, an undercurrent in their added hush when they whisper in taverns, questions of knowledge and possibilities that never existed, but may have existed long ago, or possibly far, far in the future...

Let me know if anyone is interested. I've been working on it for like 2-3 days and I'm so invested atm.
