here are a couple of plots i’m thinking about a lot that i would really like to rp. they’re all inspired from a few different kdramas/manhwa i’ve read.
˚ ༘ ೀ⋆。˚
1. a free-spirited girl decides she’s going to take a vacation in a local beach town and just be someone else. she uses a different name, tells a few white lies, and becomes the person she really wants to be. she’s living a new simple life. a guy happens to visit the town, they meet, they fall in love, and it’s real. aside from the fact she’s lying about who she is. he’s extending his vacation and telling her he wants to turn this into a relationship. but his work hits a snafu and requests he comes back home, so they promise to stay in touch. but when he comes back, she’s gone. until he runs into her one day, and is really confused why people are calling her by a different name.
2. she’s just started a new job at a large company that just welcomed a new boss. her best friend’s parents keep setting her up on dates and hoping she’ll settle down. instead, her best friend can’t be bothered and asks our girl to go in her place and ruin the date. the guy - he’s a bit uptight, maybe he’s being set up for the same reasons as the friend, but this all fun and games. until he calls her and says he wants to go out again. shit. then when she goes to work the next day, look who’s her new boss! double shit.
3. tw: death - a married couple are getting a divorce. she’s served him papers after all these years. their marriage was a sham set up to keep both families’ business afloat. or was it? because when she thinks she’s finally out, he gets into a fatal accident. ding! the clocks restarted themselves to when the couple first got married - is this a sign that this marriage is not supposed to be over? maybe she needs make this work so the same tragic fate doesn’t happen to him again.
˚ ༘ ೀ⋆。˚
i am pretty terrible at explaining my ideas but reach out if you’re interested in any of these scenarios.

ship: f/m
quero jogar com: topo qualquer um
inspirado em: quinn e sam (glee)
MUSE A é uma jovem que enfrentou muitos problemas na vida amorosa, logo tão cedo em sua vida. desacreditada no amor, ela está destinada a ignorar os homens e só usá-los, como fizeram com ela. mas como resistir à doçura e ingenuidade de MUSE B, que está apaixonado e decidido a conseguir uma chance com ela?
.
ship: f/m
quero jogar com: topo qualquer um
inspirado em: quinn e finn (glee)
MUSE A traiu MUSE B com seu melhor amigo e acabou engravidando. não disposta a deixar um erro acabar com o relacionamento, ela mente ao dizer que o filho é de MUSE B, que já está apaixonado pela criança que nem nasceu. quando descobre a verdade, termina o namoro e diz que não quer ter mais nada a ver com nenhum dos dois, engolindo a tristeza por já ter se afeiçoado à criança. (aqui ela pode não saber a paternidade da criança e a gente deixar pra decidir durante o jogo se a filha é biológica dele ou não)
.
ship: f/m
quero jogar com: topo qualquer um
inspirado em: -
MUSE A é a típica patricinha, meio tonta, meio malvada, fashionista e muito preocupada com dinheiro e status. MUSE B é o garoto caipira, inteligente, que ganhou uma bolsa na faculdade da cidade grande. entre zoar suas roupas cafonas e fazer piada com seu sotaque caipira, os dois ficaram cinco anos se provocando e alfinetando. até uma noite em que a patricinha acabou bebendo demais em uma festa após quebrar a cara com seu namorado (se é pra ser clichê, vamos colocá-lo como o jogador de futebol popular, rico e babaca), e foi encontrada pelo caipira. ela o beijou, ele cedeu. os dois dormiram juntos. já sabe o que vem depois, não é? ela engravidou! um mês antes da formatura. MUSE B estava voltando para sua cidade pequena, quando foi abordado por MUSE A que foi lhe contar a verdade. expulsa de casa e deserdada pela família, ela se viu obrigada a ir morar na fazenda com a família de MUSE B, que apesar de detestá-la, assumiu a criança.
.
ship: f/m ou f/f
quero jogar com: topo qualquer um
inspirado em: joey e rachel (friends)
MUSE A e MUSE B são amigos há dez anos ou mais, até que A se apaixonou por B, e não era correspondidx. elx se declarou, mas não quis arruinar a amizade e esperaram o crush passar. anos depois, MUSE B começa a se sentir atraídx por MUSE A, que agora já superou e surge namorando outra pessoa. não querendo arruinar a amizade, MUSE B tenta guardar o que sente, mas está sendo difícil disfarçar os ciúmes e incômodo ao ver MUSE A tão feliz com outra pessoa.
.
ship: f/m ou f/f
quero jogar com: topo qualquer um
inspirado em: ashton kutcher e mila kunis
MUSE A e MUSE B são atores que trabalharam juntos na adolescência em uma série muito famosa. os dois se mantiveram amigos com o decorrer dos anos, mesmo afastados, seguiram suas vidas, até que se reencontraram na casa dos 30/40 anos, sendo um par romântico num filme em que o roteiro é muito semelhante à história delxs, e agora estão confusxs se os sentimentos são puramente dos personagens ou algo está surgindo.
.
ship: f/m
quero jogar com: muse male
inspirado em: augustine + betty + james
eu gostaria de jogar com o james, mas eu gosto tanto do plot com a betty, onde ele acaba traindo a namorada e depois se arrepende e precisa correr atrás dela para recuperar o seu amor, quanto gosto do plot onde ele trai a namorada e se arrepende, mas não consegue superar o que sentiu quanto estava com a amante. então, esse plot fica aberto para duas partners: uma será minha betty, e outra minha augustine :)
.
ship: f/f
quero jogar com: topo qualquer um
inspirado em: -
parecido com o de cima, porém é uma mulher casada e infeliz no casamento, acaba se envolvendo com outra mulher e tendo uma vida dupla. seria interessante se esse plot se passasse antigamente, tipo anos 50, onde um casal de mulheres não seria bem visto e elas precisam esconder a relação. a amante quer que a outra largue tudo e viva com ela, mas a casada não está disposta a abrir mão de sua vida confortável (ou de sua herança!!! o pai é rico e só liberou a grana quando ela casou com um homem e lhe deu netos).

it is legit bizarre to me how hard video game creators and film directors and showrunners try to pretend that fat people don't exist. can you think of the last time you saw a fat person in a lead role? god forbid a fat woman? i can walk down the street or go into a shop or restaurant and see fat people everywhere but then i switch on the tv and suddenly it's like a glimpse into an alternate universe where no one has a bmi over 24. insidious and weird
#i don't wanna sound dramatic but it's just so crazy that it's like this and nobody even talks about it#tbh disability is like this too - you don't see fat people and you don't see disabled people unless it's a joke or a plot point#'we don't want to glamourise obesity' it's not 'glamourising' anything. it's showing the world as it is.#sure you can create a world devoid of all the people you don't find aesthetically pleasing but at least acknowledge that you're doing that#fatphobia#weight talk cw#ableism#be shh now#containment breach

challengers inspired rp plots!
hi everyone! i am not sure if i am alone in this but i have been having deep, deep challengers brainrot. so i thought i would take the opportunity to share some tennis-themed/challengers-inspired plot bunnies with you. with a couple of these, i’ve had the absolute pleasure of playing out or at least, brainstorming with some of my current writing partners.
all titles are from the soundtrack - ty trent r & divider is by @cafekitsune
some of these have more darker and mature themes, but can be adapted to work at any level. all of these can be adapted to work with any pairing as well. and probably sport — if you squint.
if you’re interested, feel free to reach out about any of these if you'd like to write together.
also feel free to take them and make them your own! enjoy!
𝐋𝐔𝐋𝐋𝐀𝐁𝐘
muse a is a young rising star in tennis (think tashi in the first half of the movie). they are on everyone’s radar as the one to go down in history and join the ranks of the past greats. adidas already has them in a campaign. and soon, they’re probably going to turn their whole family into millionaires. however, during a game, they suffer a traumatic and freak injury which looks like it will derail their entire career. muse a is devastated as everything they’ve ever wanted or worked for will come to an end. enter muse b — an older, successful surgeon — who decides to help a depressed and lost muse a. fixing broken body parts is part of their job and they are able to do so easily. even kinder, they support muse a through their recovery and physical therapy. unbeknownst to muse a and everyone in their lives, muse b has been grooming them — giving them treatment beyond what a medical professional should offer. this leads to muse a entering into a relationship with muse b where the power dynamic is totally whack. with muse a recovering and being back on their game, they feel they totally owe it all to muse b’s god hands and want to pay them back with any means necessary.
𝐂𝐎��𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐒 / 𝐑𝐄𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐒
muse a and muse b are the perfect tennis doubles tennis partners. so much so, they have corny nicknames like fire and ice. they are best friends, practice partners, and have long shared history. optional: muse a can be more a technically perfect player and muse b is pure, raw talent. unbeknownst to muse b, muse a has been hopelessly in love with them the entire time but is in the closet/in denial. when muse b starts to cluelessly date someone (optional: muse c if you want mumu), muse a is jealous and their friendship slowly starts to deteriorate with muse b frustrated and confused why this is happening. skip a few years, muse a and muse b find themselves on opposite sides of the net as the biggest rivals in tennis. years of resentment, avoidance, and pressure have culminated in this moment. should they repair their relationship? will they ever talk about it? maybe there’s still a chance or will someone end up hurt again?
𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐇 𝐗 𝟏𝟎
muse a is an older and seasoned tennis veteran. truthfully, they aren’t as good as they used to be and are on the verge of retirement. they decide that this tournament(possibly set at wimbledon?)will be their last and they’ll retire after regardless of the outcome. but during, they meet the young muse b — someone spunky and maybe they have a bad temper like john mcenroe — but they’re not like anyone else muse a has ever met. they challenge them. they intrigue them. however, this romance comes at the worst time as muse b desperately wants to win the tournament and this is a bit of a distraction. so should muse a and muse b embrace the distraction and get caught up in the whirlwind of things, despite knowing love means absolutely nothing in tennis.
𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐑
muse a is a down-on-their-luck tennis player. they’re definitely not a ranked player or really famous at all, but this is all they know. they’re still good, and believe they have in them to win a grand slam or a major tournament, despite their age and more importantly, their financial situation. sometimes they are sleeping in their car if they can’t afford a motel on tour, but sometimes, they get even more desperate — which is how they found muse b, on tinder, swiping right on literally everyone until they get a match. muse b thinks they’re going on a date with a professional athlete but little do they know, muse a is flat broke and is only with them for a hot meal and a warm bed. should muse b figure this out? or maybe as they go on the date, both muses feel a connection — does that mean muse a will come clean with their intentions? or will muse b be saddled with supporting muse a’s broke ass?
𝐋’𝐎𝐄𝐔𝐅
muse a is a young and naive tennis player from a small town/country. they come from a nice, wholesome family. being a professional athlete was sort of by chance too, so they have absolutely know idea how to navigate the pressurized world of fame and fortune. fortunatelyor unfortunately, they get help from muse b — a cut-throat, smart, and cunning sports agent. muse b is able to set muse a up with an fancy apartment, good sponsorship deals, hefty contracts, and soon become the voice of reason for muse a. muse b is determined to guide muse a to the big star lights and away from their country mouse past. it gets to the point where muse a can’t do anything without muse b. will muse a ever get away from muse b? or will muse b abuse their power? could involve isolating them from their family, controlling their spending, and even baby-trapping them.
𝐁𝐑𝐔𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐙𝐄𝐑
muse a is retired professional tennis player and decides become a instructor at a fancy, schmancy country club. they decided to take this job not because for the love of the sport, but to further themselves as the club is crawling with unsuspecting rich people with good connections just waiting to be made. muse a meets muse b, a naive, rich kid who takes tennis lessons. they get on really well and decide to bring muse a to meet their family. through a series of carefully crafted lies, muse a and b get closer and closer until they’re in a relationship. muse b starts asking their parents to get muse a better job, better clothes, and ultimately, a better life. but what happens when someone or something from muse a’s past comes rearing its ugly head and threatens to expose and break this carefully plotted dream life? does muse a confess to muse b, or does muse b dump them? or is muse a crazy enough to keep lying to keep muse b and their perfect new life theirs for good?
"𝐈 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖"
muse a is a professional tennis player who seems like they have the perfect life. they’re winning, rich, have a partner who is possibly their coach, and even a child. little does everyone know, it’s not all roses on the inside. their partner is cheating on them and it’s really throwing off all the other parts of their life — especially their game. so they decide to cheat too, with muse b — someone who isn’t part of this crazy tennis world. immediately, it’s steamy and exciting having an affair. it really jumpstarts muse a’s attitude and they start winning again. when muse a’s partner (could even be a muse c) finds out, they could hardly care less and is happy that something is finally getting muse a motivated again. but muse b isn’t satisfied with just being a secret, not when they play such a pivotal role in muse a’s life. maybe they decide to expose muse a and their partner? or maybe they threaten to leave? or maybe they try to navigate this as a threesome?
𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐒𝐄𝐓
muse a is a successful, professional tennis player. they’re winning tournaments. they’re living their best life on the ATP/WTA tour. being on the road is great but is a bit lonely sometimes despite all the cool sponsorship parties and galas. dating is too hard too, as it’s difficult to stay connected within all these time zones and from all these far away places. instead, they use an expensive celebrity escort service and meet muse b. muse b can quell the sting of loneliness on the road and it’s low commitment — only calling them up when they’re in town. however, this last time leads to muse b getting pregnant accidentally. now muse a has to decide if they want to step up to the plate and be a parent, and if they do, how do they explain how they met their partner to the press?bonus points ifmuse bhas slept with other tennis players and their services are not a well-kept secret.

Tragic: Guy you based your entire villain backstory on doesn't even remember you
#art#comic#sonic the hedgehog#sth#shadow the hedgehog#infinite the jackal#sonic fanart#sonic#sonic forces#My funny BTS on this comic is Shadow's initial response was 'sounds like cope but okay' but I wanted something less internet-pilled LOL#I've drawn more Sonic Forces fanart than I intended but it is EXCLUSIVELY because I think Infinite is SO funny#I'm gonna shove him in a locker#Bro lost a fight once and it shattered his self esteem#He's been practicing his evil laugh for months and when he finally gets his chance Shadow hits him with the 'I don't know you'#Also since this is taking off I want to clarify: I am a hater in the silly sense. I understand why Infinite has fans#The bones of a good character are there it’s just the writing of this game failed him So Bad#Forces is my least fave Sonic game but I can’t stop thinking about it because of its missed potential#Forces tries to make a lot of very serious plot points but the impact is just not there. It becomes unintentionally funny as a result

Okay so I’m not going to lie, part of why I haven’t been drawing Mara a lot is for three reasons:
1. She had an entire plotline planned that I ended up scrapping and redoing but that meant putting her in the backseat for a bit.
2. Im honestly afraid of drawing her 20 fallen angel partners I feel like I go a little insane even thinking about it. 20 characters with unique designs and outfits? No, I’m exploding in real life.
3. I’ve been slowly regretting making her a succubus. She was originally an Imp but I didn’t have a base idea for the imp design yet so I just went with a succubus but I’ve been wanting to add more demon characters that weren’t just succubi and hellhounds.
Unfortunately the way people treated the redesigns (specifically Domino’s where I had people messaging me for WEEKS to change it back), makes me kind of unsure if I wanna do a full species swap lmfao. Mara is very cute and I love her OG design, I just don’t want her to be another succubus, so it’s frustrating.


Damn. Remember when this webcomic was a hobby for me.
#txt#it’s really funny that once again my little hobby series becomes popular and suddenly I have to have some basic planning#not like. a major ongoing plot I want this series to go as long as I feel like it#but it’s like. back then I drew a lot of succubi bc I liked drawing succubi but now I want more monster diversity in the cast#so the problem with Mara is that it’s not just a design I want to update I want to make her a new species#but this series is too popular now that I know people react really poorly to change#and I know the replies will be like ‘hey it’s your series you should do what you want’#but listen. Listen. people get REALLY weird about characters they don’t own

pov your ex held your collection of thrifted spoons hostage for over a year (not entirely his fault, they got mixed up in his things during a move and you did not realize it, though he did adamantly deny that he had them) and reached out to your roommate on instagram nine months post break up after being thoroughly blocked for several months just to ask if you were still roommates and then to very cryptically reveal that he had in fact found the spoons (among other, mystery items that he did not reveal and you also have no idea what they are) in his car that he had not driven for a year cause he decided to make the worst financial decision of his life and buy a tesla and then tried to coordinate a meet up to drop off said spoons and mystery items which you did not want but you do want your spoons so you told him to either mail it or show up to your place of work when you were not scheduled only for him to entirely miss the point and still try to see you, then you reveal that you do not want to see him so he finally says that he will put on his big boy pants and mail it (though him actually mailing it is entirely unlikely) and also aparently hes gotten a perm since the last time you saw him and it looks terrible
#anyone relate? no? just me? sigh#not a tag#from saph#for anyone whos asked oh why did you and brad break up#well you see#^^^^^^^^#you all have my expressed permission to use this as a fanfic plot if you would like please tag me in it i want to see it if you write it#hE HAS ALSO REQUESTED TO FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM AGAIN SIR PLEASE YOU TRIED TO BREAK UP WITH ME OVER TEXT

I think, perhaps one of the funniest things to come from EPIC popularising the Odyssey is that now a ton of people think Poseidon wanted to kill Odysseus.
In the Odyssey, Poseidon has no intention of killing Odysseus. In fact, part of the whole reason Zeus lets Poseidon do whatever he wants even though he thinks Odysseus is rad and should get to kiss his wife is explicitly because Poseidon had no intentions of killing Odysseus. Poseidon wanted to pay back the suffering/inconvenience blinding Polyphemus would have caused. It's a really abstract thing tbh. How do you pay back someone permanently disabling your son? Poseidon's solution was just to amputate Odysseus from his other half; i.e. Penelope. The end game was never murder, it was always an endurance race.

(Od. Book 1: Zeus reassuring Athena that he is not, in fact, a part of Odysseus Hater-Nation. Trans. Robert Fagles)
Also, for those wondering if there's any sort of in text reason for why Poseidon wasn't around in God Games - at the time in the Odyssey when Athena petitions Zeus to let Odysseus leave Calypso's island, Poseidon was -checks notes- on vacation in Ethiopia. Yep. He left to Ethiopia for a festival and thusly was very much absent for Athena's whole "please let Ody go? Please? 🥺" request.

(Od. Book 1: While Odysseus was suffering, Poseidon went to party in the east)
I am begging y'all to read the Odyssey. It's a comedy for everyone except Odysseus and Penelope who are, in fact, suffering 24/7 365.
#ginger rambles#ginger chats about greek myths#Sorry for the quality of the quotes but I'm too tired to google a pdf vers of the Odyssey and then edit those so y'all are getting#my crunchy pictures from one of my physical copies of the book lol#it's reiterated multiple times that Poseidon doesn't want Odysseus dead too#he is literally just driving him mad on the ocean because that's what Odysseus condemned Polyphemus to by blinding him#Also there's no good way to mention this but the Odyssey starts#by Zeus lamenting how mortals blame all their troubles and miseries on the gods when that's just not fair#because the gods go out of their way to warn the mortals that will be saddled with the most wretched fates#and they ignore the gods and do whatever they want anyway LMFAO#It's a really smart way to tie in the whole Orestes plot that would have wrapped up in between Odysseus getting stranded on Ogygia#and Odysseus getting off of Ogygia#epic the musical#epic the wisdom saga#zeus#athena#odysseus#poseidon#the odyssey
