EMITTING WHITE NOISE.

[swynlake-rp]

Water. Earth. Fire. Air. What magical powers can they create? Join us in Swynlake and find out!

Cornelia Hale (Cornelia Hale, W.I.T.C.H.) - You asked to be exceptional, but not in this way! You only wanted to be a figure skater, twirling, leaping into the air to land impressively on one skate, that was what you trained for. Not to be some plant-magic freak! Ugh! You're going to shake this stupid destiny one way or another!

Lumière Charmant (Lumière, Beauty and The Beast) - Does one too many good times really warrant getting cursed? Well, your ex-partner would say so. Can Swynlake rid you of your fiery little problem?

Bradley Nicholson (Bradley Nicholson, Milo Murphy's Law) - It's not easy walking around like some Frankenplant armed weirdo, but someone has to do it! And that someone is you! Ha. Haha. Will you be able to reverse this magical mishap?

Shuǐ Silvermist (Silvermist, Tinkerbell) - Since coming to the Enchantra Hollow, all your family has wanted to do was prove that they are a part of the Enchantra community. Everyone has fit in seamlessly but you want to do more than fit in. You want to catch the attention and praise of the Queen!

Sox Peters (Sox, Lightyear) - You welcome a good roadblock! A door closed is just one less door to worry about tampering with, and you refuse to let them get you down. As you embark on step one to your career path in Swynlake, you only pause to think one thing. Get ready world, here Sox comes!

Majd Carine (Magic Caret, Aladdin) - Imagine your surprise when you, a mundus (?) began manifesting the ability to fly! As you settle in Swynlake after growing up traveling the world, you hope to discover why that's happened, and maybe find treasure while you're here...

[askthenewdigitalcircus]

can I have names of the full member? And maybe draw them with my oc? (And start a smallll rp with it?)

I do suppose I could go over the group again

(I am assuming that you only want the next gen kiddos as well as my other OCs so here you go)

Anni is the daughter of Pomni and Ragatha

Saito and Katti are the children of my two OCs Kandi and Sox

June is the daughter of Keke (my sona character) and Jinx (genderbent Jax)

Zoola is the adopted daughter of Zooble

Princeton is the adopted son of Kinger

Kandi and Sox are my two Digital Circus OCs and also Saito and Katti’s parents

And of course Keke is my sona

———————————————————————

Now a little bit about the whole thing of me drawing Pomni like she’s swapped with Caine is because this is a timeline I thought of where Caine was a sort of mentor for Pomni as she was getting adjusted to the digital world and whenever she came to accept her fate, Caine decided to retire and have Pomni take over the digital circus as the new ringmaster

Everyone else is.. practically the same because I dunno what to do with them really

———————————————————————

Also I wouldn’t mind an rp! I have been roleplaying since my very early days on the internet back when Google+ was still a thing (uh.. people remember G+ still, right..? Or am just getting that old xP)

I however, had never really been the best with starting roleplays so if you wouldn’t mind starting that would be great!

Fanart is also welcomed :3

Reblog, don’t repost. 

Since its Pride Month I drew my LGBT-DnD characters. At least the ones I know are LGBT, quite a few others may just be aromantic as well mostly because I don't wanna RP flirting being aroace myself, but that'd take too long to draw literally all of them...

The characters are Leaping Frog the bisexual tabaxi cleric. Everything about him was decided by a dice roll, including his sexuality (he's also married to a male triton, it never came up in the oneshot he was played in though that was just the life the dice decided to give him.) Kisses the genderqueer kobold artificer. I've never actually played Kisses but I hope to one day... Their partner is Hugs. Twitter the aroace kenku bard. His familiar is a giant worm no a string because why not. Hugs the nonbinary kobold rogue. Doesn't actually understand the concept of gender so they're kinda just enby by default. Hugs and Kisses are both also sexfluid and take turns being "mom" and "dad" to their many many offspring. Sox the pansexual lizardfolk druid. Another character who's entire life was rolled randomly... I don't think I actually rolled for her sexuality though I just decided to make her pan cuz it just fit her. Jaz the aroace kobold bard. If I had a nickle for every time I made an aroace bard I would have two nickles, which isn't a lot but its weird that it happened twice. I do it on purpose to avoid the "horny bard" stereotype. I have a third bard, but he's heterosexual so he's not valid this month. (He is an ally though and has a openly gay brother.)

Safe Word // Sign&Countersign

The question keeps being asked: how can you send a message that means something other than what is being said.

And it's pretty simple: Word replacement.

In certain situations, such as role-playing, a "safe word" is implemented that means "cease all rp, I feel unsafe, stop" it has to be an assigned word because some people enjoy er.. "that kind of RP" that pushes past what is typically expected.

An interesting thing to note is that most people's safe word is "pineapple". If you ever want to screw with somebody's head about knowing things you shouldn't.

The military uses sign/countersign as a password. It's usually a benign line of conversation "hey, how about them dodgers" if that's the current team that's winning you'd be expected to say "I hope they go all the way".

Like asking "what's the password" without explicitly saying it.

The military also uses this to signal "signs of duress" if, for example, a terrorist climbs into your vehicle and tries to force you into an area they're not supposed to be in.

So when they say "Hey, how about them dodgers" the duress countersign might be "I'm a red Sox fan". This signals that, yea, you're one of us, but. Something is wrong. They might let you in base, to go a few feet before being apprehended, they might arrest you immediately. Depends on the protocol.

So basically, in the example of Trump's he could signal any number of things to people he's already set up these kind of signals with.

His favorites? MAGA, AmericaFirst, well, any number of things you can think trump would say can be used as a signal.

For example, and none of this is true, he might say MAGA to imply "we have nothing to worry about" or he could say "It's a witch hunt" to imply that "they know everything, burn the evidence" or "Hunter Biden's Laptop" to tell cronies just to "make some shit up for cover".

That's how he *could* talk to people, or release information he's not supposed to simple passwords, boy scouts, and childhood tree fort nonsense.

If you didn't know, now you know.

To be clear, that wasn't a sign to anybody. I don't have friends I trust that well.

who doesn't love a city rp ? and who doesn't love the summer of 2004 when my beloved red sox broke an eighty - six year old curse placed upon them by a grown man named babe ? come join and possibly relive that exact moment with us !

[belovedstars]

NAME: cassidy PRONOUNS: she/her PREFERENCE OF COMMUNICATION: discord! you can ask for it if we're mutuals MOST ACTIVE MUSE: my most active muse at any given moment is harry hook, over at @hookd. as for here, maybe sox. muse isn't always super easy for me here, idk why. harry takes up most of my brain space. EXPERIENCE / HOW MANY YEARS: at least ten years. one memory that places a date is 2012, but that was a good few years into my ~career~ already. PLATFORMS YOU USE: tumblr. i've done discord in the past but the auto-response sort of atmosphere overwhelms me. BEST EXPERIENCE: uuuh. it's so cool that i can't think of anything. RP PET PEEVES: i've got lots of em. people that preach inclusiveness but won't send anything in if you haven't sent them something. people that use their roleplay tumblr blogs as a diary (which isn't the same as making ooc posts, i mean like, the people that make me go "ok literally nobody needs to know that i'm just here to play pretend"). just the general rpc vibe these days is really shitty. FLUFF,   ANGST,   OR SMUT: all of them PLOTS OR MEMES: memes are easier for me, i'm not very creative with ideas, but i definitely like plotted things too, once things have been established! LONG OR SHORT REPLIES: i like shorter replies, after a couple paragraphs i start getting overwhelmed. if we're both into it, though, that's not as much of a problem. BEST TIME TO WRITE: afternoons or evenings for me, usually! ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSES: i'm probably like some of them, like kaylee (although i don't know if she counts since i made her). others, not so much.

Cardinals RP allows 4 straight HRs vs White Sox in ML debut

CHICAGO (AP) — St. Louis Cardinals reliever Roel Ramirez became the first pitcher to allow four straight home runs in his major league debut when the Chicago White Sox hit him around in the fifth inning Sunday. Cardinals RP allows 4 straight HRs vs White Sox in ML debut

[crimsonbluemoon]

Crimson's Current WIP Masterpost

Okay, so I am having a hell of a time getting my head on straight with my writing. I have so many ideas and thoughts regarding what I want to write, from old stories I never got around to write for other fandoms, to new ideas, to stories that are currently 70% written but I can't figure out what to do with it. So, to just update people on why I keep talking about writing but not actually producing anything, I figured I'd throw them out here to prove I'm actually trying XD

If you wanna hear about any of these or have questions, don't hesitate to ask. Bouncing ideas always makes me writer better. Some of these concepts I just need a wall to throw ideas at and see if they'll stick.

Just a Thought

FBI story: George and Karl become key witness for an FBI case, which puts their lives in danger. George, in danger of losing his visa if he doesn't finish his grad school dissertation, refuses to go into protective services. Enter Agent Dream and Sapnap, tasked with making sure the two don't get murdered before the case. Status: Super early process, random thoughts but no way/shape/form of actual plot/outline.

Autoshop story: George doesn't even own a car, so how does he keep running into the cute annoying autoshop owner? Simple: his friends are idiots. Status: Basic ideas of each of the interactions, but no concrete outline.

Dating SIM Game: When a new rp/dating game releases, everyone is obsessed with unlocking the creator's 'hardcore route'. George has no interest, only agreeing when his boss makes him write an article on 'DSMP'. He plays it, focusing more on the mysterious narrator, Dream, than the storyline. After the final interaction in the game, an 'error' pops up on the screen before all the servers go offline. Annoyed at the bugged game, George goes to bed, planning to return it.

And then things get really weird. Status: Ehhhh *wiggles hand* I've had this thought for years and years, but never been my main focus. Just in bare-bone thoughts. Torn between two very different routes I want to go with this one, so its hard to create an outline without knowing which one I want to do.

The Captain: Mr. Beast hosts an IRL MCC sort of event for DSMP members, with groups of 5 lettering the Feral Bois play together. Dream is chosen to be their captain, but some comments online and his own anxiety about IRL meetings makes him question their choice. Cue wholesome shenanigans. Status: Not sure if I'll even write this. There's really just one scene from this idea that haunts my dreams.

Rollercoaster: George is an up and coming songwriter who works with country newbie Sapnap at 404 studios. When writing a song about a summer romance five years ago, he catches the interest of a fellow masked songwriter, Dream, from XD inc. When Dream's singer, Karl, and Sapnap go up against each other for new artist of the year, George (sorta) meets Dream, and the two instantly connect. Too bad everyone seems to have a secret. Status: I'm really in love with this idea, have a playlist and everything going for the songs being used, most of the concept is done but the outline is still in the works.

Outlines Only

Homerun to my Heart: Karl is a single parent who is raising Foolish after Foolish's mother died in a car accident. Sapnap is a designated hitter for the Red Sox who has to 'clean up his image' after being arrested the year before. When Quackity posts a video of Foolish playing ball with Sapnap's t-shirt and gushing about his dream to meet the designated hitter, Karl doesn't think anything of it. That is, until Twitter does its thing with cute stories and the all-star replies. Status: Stole this from an old moodboard I did years ago, so the outline is pretty much done.

Merman story: George is a merman prince who is poisoned and left to die as a human on the shores of Florida. Dream is a struggling artist helping Sapnap run a souvenir shop while he decides what to do with his life. The two cross paths one early morning, and its up to Dream to figure out how to save George from his dismal fate. Status: Same as the previous one. Totally stole it from an old moodboard, and I always wanted to write it, but never got the time. Outline is done, story not started yet.

Bar Karaoke story: Secret Youtuber Dream finds guitar playing George at a bar doing karaoke and falls in love. This is the awkward (yet hilarious) story of how, with some 'help' from his friends, Dream tries to court him. Status: Whole outline done, not a single word written for the story itself.

First chapter land

Can't See Jealousy, I'm Colorblind: Everyone knows Dream 'simps' for George; it's half the reason their fans ship DNF so much. George doesn't mind, knowing their feelings are totally platonic. So when George sees a video of Dream acting similarly with another Youtuber, he shouldn't care. He shouldn't feel his breath stop, heart drop, stomch turn cold. George should be fine with it. Funny thing about the word should. Status: Outline is done, few pages into the start of the story.

The Four Fs: George has never gone all the way due to a sexuality crisis in college and Youtube distracting him afterwards. He decides he wants to change that, and who better than his more experienced best friend and housemate, Dream? But Dream has some concerns, and so the deal is set: They'll go through the 'four F's', and if George doesn't change his mind by his own birthday, Dream will have sex with him. Status: Outline all done, and a few pages into the first chapter.

Year of Love: George gets broken up with before New Year's Eve. While trying to process his feelings, George finds Kinoko cafe, a new shop down the street from his job. He meets the owner, Sapnap, and a man named Dream that he accidentally loses a bet for. Follow his year of feelings and flirting, told by holidays. Status: Outline is done, I believe three holiday visits are finished. But there's like, ten or so in total so it's not even close to done.

On our way!

I Don't Dance: Sapnap doesn't dance, until he meets Karl. (Or the 6+1 about Karl and Sapnap being in love through dance) Status: Four of the seven chapters done. Chapter five has given me a hard time so I'm stuck. >.<

Redolance: Rework of the Redolance story I started pre-pandemic. Basically, what happens to the DSMP crew when a virus hits that changes how all facets of society function based on their scent. Status: Reworked idea, plotlines, character points, and have about 13 chapters done. Only two relationships in the story, but the whole DSMP crew is intertwined.

So that's my list. Wow, I have way more ideas that I thought I did. >.> Anyways, if any of these really tickled your fancy or you want to see done before the rest, let me know. I'm trying to dedicate time to the ones closer to being done or at least started, but some of the others (*cough cough* Rollercoaster *cough cough*) are totally taking over my brain.

Will update this each month to let people know where I'm at! ^.^

im a white sox fan and i hate nothing more than interleague play like banish interleague play or adopt the dh im so tired!!! also anti dh people are so annoying i saw that video of the p*dres rp hitting a grand slam off of scherzer 385924 who cares ! ohtani is the only pitcher that can hit and that's why every1 is talking about him!!!! i like them as pitchers but kershaw greinke degrom set the baseball world backwards so much by literally batting just above the mendoza line

Okay yeah pitchers that hit just barely above .209 and everyone using them as an example of “see pitchers can hit” like no! If he was a normal hitter slashing that line he would never make the starting line up 😭🔪

10 Under The Radar Free Agent Options (for when the Yankees decide to get cheap again)

With free agency getting closer and closer, Yankees fans are dreaming about Thanksgiving dinners headlined by Gerritt Cole signings, Anthony Rendon level flirtations and a Francisco Lindor level trade. The reality figures to be a TOUCH smaller than that unfortunately. The Yankees may make one big move and go "all in" but the idea that they're going to open the floodgates and turn into the Yankees who spent to win in the mid 2000s is probably off base. What's most likely is that they'll make a big splash early (Paxton in 2018, Stanton in 2017) and then calmly tiptoe through the offseason making sound decisions and occasionally flirting with a big name here or there. Remember that the Yankees two best signings, at least offensively, were financially sound and prudent depth moves that paid off big time in the long run with Gardner (1/10) and DJ LeMahieu (2/24). The Yankees do not have a bushel of needs to be filled outside of a starter, maybe another bullpen arm and some sort of solution on the infield. They do have some wants though and maybe these players will prove to be affordable wants who wind up filling needs down the line.

1. Cole Hamels, Chicago Cubs Will be 36

7-7 3.81 ERA 141.2 innings pitched 117 ERA+ 1.391 WHIP 9 H/9 3.6 BB/9 9.1 K/9

Why: Was apparently the back up option if the Yankees couldn't secure a deal with Toronto for J.A. Happ in 2018. Hamels has a proven playoff pedigree, has the prototypical fifth starter make up (gritty innings eater who survives with declining stuff) and the Yankees tend to prioritize left handed pitching given that the Redsox tend to be historically loaded up on lefties. The Yankees just lost CC Sabathia who clearly had a role as a veteran left hander who was capable of getting a competitive start each time out. Seems open and receptive to a one year deal.

Why Not: I mean they DID choose J.A Happ over him for a reason. Hamels, like Happ, was somewhat inconsistent in the juiced ball era with elevated contact rates (despite a lower home run per 9 innings than the four years prior) and elevated walk rates. Hamels has not thrown for 200 innings since 2016 and went for under 150 innings pitched in two of the last three seasons. Soft tossing (by today's standards) flyball pitchers tend to not do so hot in Yankee stadium.

2. 1B Eric Thames, Milwaukee Brewers Will Be 33

.247/.346/.505 25 HR 61 RBI 51 BB 140 K's 117 OPS+

Why: The Yankees have a potential opening for a platoon 1B who can mash righties and Thames had that going for him (.254/.348/.529 slugging for a 131+ OPS). He's got a sweet swing for NYS and would help balance a Yankees line up in serious need of a masher from the left side. Veteran lefty pop for a small fee would be insanely valuable for a Yankees team in need of more power from that side (with Didi likely gone). Has made spot appearances as an outfielder as well.

Why Not: Is he too much of a three outcome hitter (K, BB or HR) for a team loaded up with three outcome hitters? A nonstarter vs left handed pitching limits his appeal. Not a good fielder in the slightest. A poor defensive fit for 1st base or the outfield so he values more as a lefty DH type. Isn't this Mike Ford's job to be for a smidgen of the price?

3. (S)RP Drew Pomeranz, Milwaukee Brewers Will Be 31

2-10 4.85 ERA 104.2  innings pitched 88 ERA+ 1.433 WHIP 9.1 H/9 3.8 BB/9 11.9 K/9

Why: Completely rebuilt himself as a specialist out of the Brewers bullpen, racking up a cool .141 average against and a sparkling 2.39 ERA out of the pen. Could be a lefty specialist weapon to save the likes of Britton from making an early appearance. Reinvted himself in Milwaukee as a power pitcher out of the bullpen and curtailed his walk rate with a new pitch mix. Has been AT TIMES a successful starting pitcher in a pinch.

Why Not: Are you willing to invest 5-10 million dollars on 32 some odd innings of work? Has struggled in the past with walks although it was slightly less of an issue as a bullpen piece. Pomeranz has a continued issue with home runs even out of the bullpen (17 home runs in 77 innings as a starter, 4 in 26 innings as a bullpen arm).

4. C Alex Avila, Arizona Diamondbacks Will Be 33

.207/.353/.421 9 HR 24 RBI 36 BB 88 K's 100 OPS+

Why: Avila is an established name at catcher who has settled into a back up catcher role. Big OPB bat with a 17% walk rate last year for the D-Backs. Another lefty who hits righties well (near .800 OPS). Could provide a reliable back up and a mentor for Gary Sanchez. Not Sanchez-esque with his arm strength but has proven to be tough to run on.

Why Not: Has been on a steady decline since around 2016 both on offense and defense. Doesn't hit for much power or average. A step down from former back up Austin Romine.

5. IF Wilmer Flores, Arizona Diamonds Will Be 28

.317/.361/.487 9 HR 37 RBI 31 BB 15 K's 118 OPS+

Why: Across the last two seasons, he's played 2nd, 3rd and 1st. Has played shortstop in the past as well. Coming off a career year in Arizona with a career high 118 OPS+, average and slugging. A high contact hitter who could potentially alleviate the overreliance on mashers/deepen the line up at the bottom of the order.  Already used to the platoon infielder role with limited starts so there wouldn't be an adjustment period. Also let's not forget that Flores was a Met for five seasons and understands the demands of playing baseball in NYC.

Why Not: Has not played shortstop since 2016 and that would probably be the only spot he would see consistent time at. Flores has not been as good defensively as he was in the past and may be on the decline from a defensive standpoint. How much of his offense is courtesy of the juiced ball era and if they deaden the balls, will he turn back into a below average hitter?

6. IF Eric Sogard, Tampa Bay Rays Will Be 34

.290/.353/.437 13 HR 40 RBI 38 BB 63 K's 116 OPS+

Why: Another versatile all contact bat who can pinch hit across a variety of locations. Could provide a more experienced version of Tyler Wade in terms of versatility and the ability to play for contact. Was really good with consistent playing time for the Rays. He's coming off his career best offensive season which when combined with his versatility and ability to chip in at a number of spots, the Yankees would be wise to poke around. Also it's another lefty bat who could balance this lineup that right now features righties Giancarlo Stanton, DJ, Aaron Judge, Gleyber Torres and Gary Sanchez.

Why Not: Primarily a contact guy with a career high 13 HRs this season. He doesn't hit for much power and doesn't really walk much either, painting a similar picture to what the Yankees have with Thairo Estrada.  He's never been necessarily reliable for a full season. He might actually go from affordable to expensive for his skill set given that bad teams are going to try to sign him so they can flip him in July.

7. SP Brett Anderson, Oakland A's Will Be 32

13-9 3.89 ERA  176 innings pitched 1.307 WHIP 9.3 H/9 2.5 BB/9 4.6 K/9

Why: If the Yankees are god fearing about flyball contact then a guy with top 10 groundball rates might be of great interest to them. A left handed pitcher who could bounce between a long relief role or a spot starter job for this team. He had a 3.22 ERA away from Oakland so maybe leaving the Coliseum can further unlock Anderson's value.

Why Not: Always be wary of the dudes who are coming off career years that aren't THAT impressive. As such, Anderson with his somewhat questionable stuff coming off a career year might be a risky venture. His 176 innings were a career high and he's been oft injured since 2016. Is he any better than J.A. Happ as a #5 guy? Do you want to progress stop on Jordan Montgomery?

8. IF/OF Ben Zobrist, Chicago Cubs Will Be 39

Why: A reliable professional hitter who doesn't K much and draws plenty of walks. Outside of one season, he's played in 125 games or more for eight straight seasons.

Why Not: Approaching 40 years of age off a shortened season and has an OPS+ under 100 in 2 of the past three years. You figure at some point he is bound to decline and lose value. While he's versatile, it is worth noting that Zobrist doesn't play SS or CF aka the two spots the Yankees figure to have the most available PT at.

9. IF Brad Miller, Philadelphia Phillies Will Be 30

.260/.329/.565 13 HR 25 RBI 15 BB 45 K;s 125 OPS+

Why: A super versatile handyman who can play across a variety of spots. Has seen time at shortstop where the Yankees could use some help. Coming off a really great September where maybe something unlocked for him offensively.

Why Not: I mean the Yankees had him once. He was in their farm system as a veteran hand in case of emergency to start 2019 and then they dealt him away once Gio Urshela proved to be legitimate. He's a career journeyman type who bounces around and is wholly unreliable to stick. Most of his damage as a hitter was done in September (.327/.339/.800 (!) with 8 HRs) so he's probably just riding a hot streak as a hitter. Has been all downhill offensively since 2016 when he hit 30 home runs for Tampa.

10. IF Brock Holt, Boston Red Sox Will Be 32

.297/.369/.402 3 HR 31 RBI 28 BB 57 K's 101 OPS+

Why: Another chess piece who plays a variety of spots and another left handed bat who can add some depth to a righty happy Yankees lineup. A consistent .275 to .290-ish hitter if batting average is your deal.  Lauded in Boston for being a big community guy and clubhouse glue type.

Why Not: You probably have to pay a Yankees tax to get him to leave Boston.  Has truly no pop whatsoever and in terms of impact, he's a long ways away from his cameo as an All Star back in 2016. Has had issues with injuries recently.
