How's it going. I've been pretty busy recently & I'll continue being relatively busy, but I definitely need some stress relief; so I'm looking for some roleplay partners. I'll be semi-active and so I don't expect a huge amount of activity from someone who wants to roleplay with me, it can be slower-paced. I do, admittedly, prefer longer responses as I find them more interesting to reply to; my average is generally a few paragraphs, with some posts dipping higher than others. With a solid response, I can easily write...uh, a lot. So while this is a sort of casual-advanced, I'm also down for higher-advanced roleplays, too. They're fun.
As for plots - I have none, but I do have some songs & lyrics that I can throw down, you choose something that gives you inspiration, and we could go from there - brainstorming between us for a solid plot. I'll do most genres - but I will not do sci-fi, and I'd like a little more substance to a romance plot if you do demand to do that. I'll do any pairings, though note that in mxf ships, I'd rather play a woman as that's simply the role in that sort of pairing that I'm more comfortable with.
The songs below are just some suggestions! If you want to roleplay with me but you're not sure about the lyrics / the general tone of the song, then hit me up & I can shuffle my playlist again, and give you a few more songs with lyrics! I'd just like to roleplay, and I've found that song plots are often a fun way to spend time.
king & lionheart of monsters & men
howling ghosts - they reappear in mountains that are stacked with fear but you're a king and i'm a lionheart a lionheart
i will wait mumford & sons
now i'll be bold as well as strong and use my head alongside my heart so tame my flesh and fix my mind a tethered mind freed from the lies
broken crown mumford & sons
the pull on my flesh was just too strong stifled the choice and the air in my lungs better not to breathe than to breathe a lie 'cause when i open my body i breathe a lie
arsonist's lullabye hozier
when i was 16, my senses fooled me thought gasoline was on my clothes i knew that something would always rule me i knew this scent was mine alone
glitter & gold barns courtney
do you walk in the valley of kings? do you walk in the shadow of men who sold their lives to a dream? do you ponder the manner of things in the dark the dark, the dark, the dark

Hiya! I would love to do one with you. c: The idea I was getting from some of the song lyrics was actually the French Revolution? And that got me thinking about how interesting writing during that time period and setting would be. I like to think of myself as an advanced writer.

which song? i'd love to roleplay with you~ i'm a little dodgy on the french revolution so it would definitely depend on what plot & set of lyrics you chose~

Glitter and Gold. I actually know a lot about the French Revolution! I was a totally nut for history in High School, but we also don't have to follow the events to a T, it is a role play after all lol. I guess it would just follow the events of the revolution, but things can totally change! And if that's not you're thing (Please dont mind me but I was snooping through your past posts to see what you were into ;.; ) I noticed you like Homestuck! Dude. BIG Homestuck fan right here. If you wanted to do an AU with the character in like, a Mafia setting we could do that too! It's up to you, I just thought I would provide you with some options. But yeah, big Homestuck nerd here.

my french revolution knowledge stems from my old comp classes in which i fell asleep d: i was just curious as to how it would play out due to the nature of it, that's all~ ahah, i don't mind snooping. i am very much into homestuck (and hiveswap), but i prefer oc over canon ^^ i get too nervous about how i portray a character. doing a homestuck or hiveswap (maybe hiveswap-leaning if you've played it) roleplay with ocs could be pretty interesting & to a degree i do have a hiveswap-esque plot on hand.

Oh sure! I normally do the canon characters, but I also developed a handful of OC's, though I don't know if... Hmm. I'll probably just make up new ones, since the original universe they were in is so integral to their character c: What was the plot idea you had? ^^

i only ever do ocs--admittedly, i'm using some of them right now, but i love making new ones because that's just how i am orz an oc hoarder.
it focuses on the concept of a human being on alternia and how they'd survive, and what they're supposed to do. i was thinking about something that could play into the game-aspect of homestuck, too; maybe to get away from alternia, there's a sgrub/sburb session (either two player or multiple; it's up to you) and that's how they get off alternia; though, admittedly, that also means the end of the world, so that's a thing. to survive up until that point, though, they'd need a troll guide / or something, etc, and there could be multiple trolls & maybe the human could contact human friends if you wanted it to be a session / roleplay with more than two (main) characters, and so forth.

(That sounds awesome! We could do where it's 2 humans that get transported to Alternia, one for me and one for you, and then each of us can have 6 trolls! Now my knowledge on Hiveswap lore is limited, because I played the Game, and... None of it makes any sense??? Like its supposed to be before Homestuck, and yet they live in a better society and it's never explained? Because Hussie's not the best writer? Lol! So I'll try my best, but I might have to come up with reasons outside of lore for why things are the way they are. As for the session I think that's a great idea! We could try to run one with just the two humans, instead of the 4 (or 8) needed.It would be interesting to see how a bend in the rules would affect the players. And then it's like beating the game is the only way for them to return home, even though in the process everything is destroyed so the stakes are pretty high.)

that sounds good to me i've played the game too & it made sense to me? ;o; the trolls don't live in a better society; the lowbloods are being culled by drones (hence xefros being buried under rubble). the condesce is supposed to be busy with other planets & trizza culls anyone who doesn't laugh at her jokes, i think it's just a little weirdly implemented because of how homestuck evolved as a "winging it" style story, while the game has to incorporate enough lore that it's obviously homestuck, but tone it down enough that newcomers can join. six trolls omg ya! two humans implemented into a 12 troll session, bumping it up to a 14-player session, which essentially makes it huge. and interesting. oh yeah they just make a new planet instead of going home n b d (maybe they can eventually go back in time to return to their true home but who knows, we'll see) maybe the humans could take on muse / lord roles, separating them further from the trolls in the session.

(I understand that, but at the same time Xefros lived in a nice apartment?? And like, had everything he needed. I guess just on how the timeline is its confusing, because Homestuck said that in the past the Lowbloods were coddled by the highbloods, that is until the Signless debacle happened - so like where is it on the timeline? Is it before or after the signless? Why if Lowbloods are getting culled in drones do they live in a nice life? Why did Karkat live in a crappy apartment complex and Xefros lives in a nice place? It just didn't really make sense to me. ^^' But I understand why they did it, things can't be perfect. I mean heck, *I* couldn't imagine writing a prequel to Homestuck, that would be terrifying. That sounds great! That leaves the other 12 to fill out all of the aspect and classes. So 3 males, 3 female trolls for each of us? Would you like the boy human or the girl human? I mean heck I guess they could both be both honestly. -Shrug-)

karkat's blood played into that due to the fact that he was a mutant - he lived in a bad place, i believe, because he had to hide that he was a mutated limeblood (hence his grey text / etc). xefros lives in a city ^^ so i'd assume his lusus managed to get them there, and so that's how he lives. it's definitely after the signless as they live on alternia with no adult trolls instead of beforus. lowbloods can have a nice(ish) life and still get culled; it's never stated that they live in poverty, just that they were culled by higher bloods rather frequently.
i am glad that the true sign thing exists d: i'm not too bothered about keeping genders even or whatever; i'm pretty chill. mostly, i think, it's just sorting out which blood colours we're taking. rust / bronze / gold lime / olive / jade teal / blue / indigo purple / violet / fuchsia
you can take first pick, i don't mind d:
eh male probably, i can use a character i've been using in another hs rp i have

I guess I understand, it still just seems so strange lol.
Oh okay! If you're okay with it I'll take Purple, Violet, Olive, Bronze, Rust, and Blue.
Also just so we're on the same page for troll anatomy, do you think female trolls have breasts? I'm actually on the side of no, because they're not humans, and do not procreate like humans, thus having no need to breastfeed their young - thus eliminating the use for breasts and what's attached to them.

me cracking open a pint as i examine homestuck lore all the time i look way too deep into it a lot
okay! so that gives me gold / lime / jade teal / indigo / fuchsia (im gonna 100% find signs for them im invested now)
edit: yo what aspects do you want. i think it's fine to double-up a little on classes, but not on aspects. it's probably best to pick out troll aspects + then human ones
uh honestly i've never really considered it. probably not though, no. i guess i could see the pov of those who think they would - since i see a lot of hcs about trolls taking their sexual characteristics from their lusus, but trolls are insectoid for the most part, so yeah no.

(We actually have the perfect number so that everyone can have a different aspect and class! I don't really have too much of a preferance, so I'll just choose a couple I'll really want and then you can choose some you really want if that's okay, and then we can decide the rest c: For classes I'd like, witch, and bard. For aspects I'd like, heart and rage That okay?

let's mix it up and have a male muse d: i know they're (supposedly) gender-exclusive but it's theorised that it's based on calliope's view of gender so non-canon let's go. but yeah, i think i like muse more~

I don't mind going off canon breh. xD Sometimes Homestuck canon is... Confusing. Lol! Alright! Then all that's left is the other class and aspects to divy out, and then it's character creation!

Sorry I didn't post her in a bit! Was busy with other threads. Woo! Now comes the long and arduous process of character creation lol! Do you think it would be best to just post our characters one a time as we come up with them? Because it sadly might take a couple days for me to get all 7. x.x' But I'll keep you updated on who's getting made!
