#random rp ramblings

[archaiclumina]

As someone who hasn't done a lot of in-game RP before, I thought I'd just type up a little bit about my experiences so far for folks like me who are a bit newer to that scene! So far I've managed to go to 4 RP events over the past couple of months! 1 was the open world RP at the Gold Saucer, which was just a small gathering but loads of fun! I've also managed to check out three venues now! I'm just going to mention them all here, both for me to keep a record and remember what I've done, but also to link their deets for folks who might be looking for places to peep into! Details below the cut!

Tonight we met up with a German friend to meet their OC and checked out a performance event at The Still and Strings, which was really impressive! It was loads of fun, but not as easy to meet new OCs without prior arrangement like the event at the Saucer. We kept most of our RP to party chat because we didn't want to interrupt the performers and their routines, but it was definitely cool to have the atmosphere of a bar with a "live band" going on while our OCs talked. Also the mix up of songs was a great, eclectic vibe, there was a style of performance for everyone's musical preferences! Last month we visited The Jabberwocky on Zalera, which is a really gorgeous venue with such entertaining bar staff (I used to tend bar so I am always impressed when bartenders can rp some good flair haha) Plus it has a fun little gambling idea which can serve as a neat premise for attending in and of itself! We also checked out The Fireside on Balmung last month, which is just the coziest place with the cutest menu! The staff are super attentive too and very good at giving the place a nice homely atmosphere with their interactions! Also, they run things in the late night NA/OCE/SEA timezone so if you're like me and in a weird part of the world that's very handy c': (They are also having a thing next week which you can find the info about here!) On the actual roleplaying part, if you're very new to in-game RP there are a lot of things that can be overwhelming. The chatscroll being one of the biggest offenders. I like to give the people I know I am going to be interacting with a little icon by using the "Assign Friend Group" function. (You can find that by going to your friends list and right-clicking their name.) That let's me scan easily for their posts between everyone else's. Of course if you don't know anyone there, that won't be an option. In that instance I tend to just make my chatbox as big as possible and pray c': (If I find any good resources for making in-game RP more user friendly, I will post them for sure!) Open world was a bit scary at first, but then once we got started and got into the flow of things, it was really fun. I did keep my shout chat in a different window to keep things from getting confusing and I think that's a very good option for people who are venturing out into open world RP for the first time. Both the Jabberwocky and the Fireside have a bit more of an easy premise for interacting with strangers than the Still and Strings did, so for brand new people to the community, I'd suggest either of those as great venues to dip your toes in without being intimidated by a lot of chat scroll from different directions like the crowd and the performers. But if you're in a little group, the Still and Strings is a really good option where you can enjoy some RP with entertainment as well!

Me and @hhoneycloves need to be BANNED from writing murder scenarios and the following grief

[vanessa-hyde]

♥ glaring "could you tell me things when they happen maybe? I embarrassed myself. It already ended..dumbass. "

@tea-cup-tyrant

I didn't tell you right away cuz you were still recovering Riddle >:[ plus seems they have enough help and again- Jamil is in time out he's already being punished-

Surprisingly a snake flute worked on him....don't ask where I found it or why-

Research purpose? :]

[fandom-trash-xl]

You ever just take a look at an alien species and go "you know what, I like you, I just want to explain how you work" for no reason

(This post is absolutely about Frieza)

If intimacy is a new concept for Astarion, can you imagine how it would be for Durge? For followers of Bhaal, affection equates to violence and murder; it would be hard to piece together what their version of intimacy would be beyond sexuality and pain.

They would learn about hugs, cuddles, nuzzles, kisses, and other cute forms of affection. They would also learn what pet names the other liked and what the other's love language was.

The two of them would be like teenagers all over again.

Personal problem but everytime my phone autocorrects Rinzler to Rinzlee a part of my soul dies.

For XIV roleplayers!

If you like, in the reblogs and replies, you can elaborate a bit more on your rp habits - whether you like to keep scenes relatively realtime or would rather allow time (hours/days) between responses, post lengths you prefer, if you like using emotes or gposes to accompany your rp, etc. Might do a poll for those kinds of things later, but for now this is just about where you're actually getting your playtime!

ETA: this is just for fun and idle curiosity, as always with my highly unscientific polls

Intro

Hello, I guess I should tell you about myself?

I'm Lynda! I'm 35 years old and bigender, going by she/her he/him.

Born the 31st of January.

I research legendary pokemon in my off time, chasing legends and rumors about new ones. I find them very fascinating!

//Current Arc: none at the moment!

//Finished Arc: Fool's Faller

My main team is

Espeon (He/Him).

Raichu (She/Her).

Charizard (pretty sure he's a clone 'zard...) (He/Him).

Sceptile (He/Him).

Greninja (He/They. Demi boy).

Hydreigon (She/Her)!

As for my champ team? You'll need to challenge me to find out~

I also have a Giratina named Oblivion (He/They/It).

I like calling him Blivie. I don't really use him in battle or keep him in his ball, but I can call on him when I need to. He has his own account! @oblivionthegiratina.

I'm married to @silveredfeathers, so no funny business, got it? Really not into flirty banter unless you're him... or @timetravelerpyrite, recently a boyfriend.

I guess I should put this here now since its out now...

The link above will tell you what I am.

Sometimes members of my team will steal my phone so-

⚡: Sparky (She also likes using Yellow for her text.)

🐱: Espie (He likes using Purple for his text (He doesn't like pink))

🦎: Riptor (He likes using Green for his text.

//Mini events that have happened/are happening.

//Shadow Creatures (A mini takeover event)

//Extra info under the cut.

//Ooc. This is a sideblog! Unreality. Mod is an adult and goes by the same pronouns. All art I use is my own! I follow from @theshadowqueenofthedistortion ... Here's some of my other accounts as well!

//Link to her trainer card!

//Semi-Serious blog, I will participate in active silliness and also write serious stuff. Will sometimes touch on death, abuse and a few other things, I will tag the serious stuff with their appropriate tw/cw tags.

//No magic anons, Lyn has been through enough and I personally don't like them.

//I will not ship with anyone who isn't my BF (and myself, but that's a note for later), just for my comfort. Lyn's universe is a mix of pokemon and abunch of other things, if she goes to hang out with someone he'll likely go there with a portal.

//I am very open to crossover stuff! My character in herself is rather crossovery and his universe has dimensional travel, her world is separate from others and Giratina like screwing around with that (Palkia? Whos that? /j)

//Pokemon in his universe have human levels of sentience, however she is aware of places that have Pokemon that aren't sentient, so he won't find that odd.

//Real life animals exist along side Pokemon in her universe, like divergent evolution (not the pokemon thing, the science thing)

//I don't bite! (But my character might-)

//What the tags mean.

//Shadow Mod Speaks: Mod speaking.

Random Lynda Rambles: Lynda just saying random things, non serious tag, silliness encouraged.

//It is now Lyn Chats.

Lore Crumbs: Me sprinkling little tasty crumbs as a treat (Lynda info).

//Not used much anymore

//Mod Reference: Me and/or Zorana making references for Lyn and/or Silver.

//Shadow Art: Art by me that isn't a ref/finished.

Shifting Explorer: Closed and/or serious RP. I will also use this tag when responding seriously to something.

Espie the Espeon: For ease of finding Espie's posts.

Riptor the Great Gecko: For ease of finding Riptor's posts.

//To do: Make a important pokemon list, make a general info background thing for Lyn (like those wiki pages for celebrities), make a public ref sheet for Lyn and her Pokemon (4/7 done), write out a public history thing for Lynda and @silveredfeathers (With help from Zorana (Silver's mod), again like those dumb wikis), get the courage to talk to other people (ongoing) /lh

If you had the chance to visit Galar, would you be interested in trying out Dynamaxing?

Ohh, probably! It sounds neat. Only issue is that from what I've heard it's pretty regulated, and you can only really do it in gym battles. And Galar is weird about their gyms. So.

In a more unrelated sense, I'll probably end up visiting Galar at some point just because of my Grandpa, and the fact that all dragon trainers know each other for some reason. Don't ask me why it's like that I honestly have no clue. Raihan's a neat dude, and he does double battles. If I were to challenge any of the Galar gyms I'd want to do his.

Keeping the school from burning down really-

*totally not alot of chaos going on in the back as they speak*

Found this blue alien creature thing earlier- and ummm...it currently thinks Ace is food? Should probably deal with that now thinking about it....

[aries-rp-corner]

I’ve been thinking about something for Aries, a hard choice. Since Cipher is being pieces of dirt to Neo Plasma (sorry guys ;-;), and they want to cover the world in shadow black ice, she is running low on options and energy. Since she finally found a new spell that can capture Shadow Pokémon, especially a new method through purifying them. However though, there has to be a final straw that made her thought of making this choice: Joining an Organization temporarily until Cipher is defeated and they scurried off to a different region. Which she will follow them to the ends of the earth.

Y’all want to share ideas? ;w;

[tvrningout-a]
