just write.

i've been in so many roleplays where for example, i would be on hiatus and then come back to people fighting. i'm just so sick of it. to be honest, as a neurodivergent person with a lot of anxiety too, i don't like having to become besties with every writer i meet.

i just find collaborative creative writing very fun, which is what roleplaying should really be. tumblr rp is basically just an online creative writing club. it should be a stress-free hobby. you shouldn't need to be friends with every writer you meet. basic respect and civillity should be enough.

i want to pick faceclaims for other people bc otherwise i know y'all will just apply with the same white fcs again and again. and the few poc ppl will apply with will be the few on off c//ampus or whatever. i will not allow myself to be gaslit on this bc i am in the rpc and i see this kind of thing every day all day. the preferential treatment towards white & western fcs is undeniable to me.

multiple ppl (fellow muns of colour) have also said it to me in private this past year: so many of yall do not want to write with fcoc, especially those who aren't based in the west.

i just want ppl to fall in love with writing again. just writing. just pure collaborative creative writing even if you're not using everyone's favourite new shiny fc. i understand some ppl have favourite fcs and can't bring themselves to write their muses without those but... there are so many rps in the tags catering to exactly that. i hope ppl will give my vision a chance.

i guess right now, around 10 people to show interest in some way. like following this blog, sending messages that show real curiosity / enthusiasm. i might post a poll. i don't mind if this ends up being a small / limited spot group, as long as there's enough to sustain things. edit, sorry: and for people to tell me what basics they're looking for (e.g. location map, "how it works" page, rules)

thank you! i'm definitely trying to evoke that... but with more diversity. i hope this rp idea gets enough traction so i can maybe open for apps in the coming weeks.

for the most part it's really not too different from any city in the west i imagine. but i set up a locations page if you'd like to check it out. :)

i actually like that idea. to others lurking, please let me know if this would motivate you to join the rp.

open to it but i'm not very familiar with the usa at all. your character can be american though. the uk attracts many, many international students for example. they could've gone to leeds for university and decided to stay, something like that

"are you gonna read the individual apps and pick a face you think vibes best with it?" yes! i'll include some things in the app that will allow customisation to some extent like ofc gender and age, plus sexuality. i think i might allow people to request certain underrepresented ethnicities like "black fc please" or "south asian fc please." i'll try to set up a "how it works" page if i feel there's enough interest in this rp idea. thank you for the message!

sure. i'll allow a fc change request once per muse.

not exclusively, but i'd pick fcoc for a lot of the muses.
