about me.
☼ rosie, cupid || 21 || she, her ☽
☼ i'm honestly just about as literate as they come. i prefer lengthier responses (will provide a bare minimum of 3-9 paragraphs, though i often get carried away when i'm super invested and average something like 6-15) as rping, character/world building, and honestly just writing in general is something i thoroughly enjoy. disclaimer: please take into consideration that i have a mild dyslexia and therefore will not be able to deliver perfect grammar and punctuation 100% of the time. lapslock is easier for me to read because it is what i'm accustomed to but unless it's something you're okay with, my replies will always be clean and properly formatted-- they simply will not be perfect. that being said, i can and will provide a writing sample upon request. ☽
☼ i took a small hiatus very recently but i am back and ready to write!! i have a few ideas in mind already, which i will list here, but am always open to new and fresh ideas. furthermore, if we had an active rp prior to me falling off the site and are interested in continuing, please pm me! chances are i am more than willing to pick up where we left off!!! that being said, if you pm me and i do not reply, because i am either too busy or i have too many rp's going at the moment, please do not be offended! ☽
☼ considering the fact that i can barely tell my b's from my d's, i think it's safe to say that coding is not and will never be my forte. for those that are heavily influenced by aesthetic, i can promise that i'll try to keep my responses fresh but i can't promise to go above and beyond. i'll mostly just stick to freebies. i'll keep it real; plain and simple. ☽
☼ topics/themes of interest include (but are not limited to): kpop/krp (otp's, canon, oc's-- i'm not picky), lgbtq+ friendly plots/characters (literally anything mxm), painfully slow burns, a n g s t, fluff too ig, drama drama drama, your everyday modern witch au, royalty au? yes please, whump tropes, undercover cop/agent/spy tropes, enemies-to-lovers tropes, arranged marriage tropes, historical settings (think victorian/renaissance), basically just toss up any recycled/overused romance trope you can think of and chances are i'm down to do it! ☽
☼ i'm always looking to collaborate and build upon ideas with my partner. a plot is like a needy child; if you don't feed it, dress it up nicely, and occasionally stroke it's ego it will surely either perish spectacularly or run away screaming into the arms of someone who will. i'm all for letting the story flow in any direction the wind takes us, but i truly believe that planning and brainstorming is the backbone of a good story. ☼
☼ it should also probably be mentioned that i am extremely ghost friendly. though i would prefer it if you were to simply tell me that you are no longer interested in the role play, i completely understand what it's like for things to fizzle out on your end and to fear confrontation. as i mentioned before, i typically give it a few weeks before declaring the rp dead and moving on. ☽
alternatively; in addition to the aforementioned themes/topics of interest i'm going to include some plots that i've really been craving recently. if you're interested or otherwise have any ideas or suggestions feel free to send me a pm!!! i promise i don't bite ^^
about you.
☼ i feel as though my standards are relatively low as far as standards go. i'm really not asking for much. however, there are a few things that i can say with certainty are strong preferences of mine (simply based upon experience) in a partner: ☽
☼ 18+ years of age (or, at least, someone with the ability to comprehend and develop mature themes which are not sexual in nature) ☽
☼ willing to reply at least once a week if not more ☽
☼ semi-literate to literate (needless to say, i'm not really in any position to judge someone based upon spelling mistakes every so often but i think, unless we decide otherwise, it's fair to expect the same quality/length from my partner that i deliver) ☽
☼ someone who is open-minded and flexible (pretty self explanatory, just don't be a meanie :/) ☽
☼ someone with whom i share common interests (feel free to pm me any time! i am always open to ideas and suggestions. you'll never know if you don't try!) ☽
☼ non-negotiables: i will not cover topics such as/pertaining to rape/non-con, underage, gore, etc at any time during our roleplay. ☽
plots.
underlined are the plots that i'm seriously craving.
【 i don't care, i want to see you fight back 】⚘ muse 𝒜 is the heir to the throne of a country with extremely unfair and strict policies. the lower class working people are starving in the streets while the rich grow fat and greedy. children are forced into manual labor or into military recruitment camps instead of into schools. people are flogged or, worse, beheaded for practicing religions, behaviors, and/or ideas that oppose the church. acts of rebellion are punishable by death. 𝒜 wants to make a change for the sake of their people and be the leader their nation deserves, but can't do diddly squat until they assume the throne (which, as per tradition, will only happen if the preceding monarch perishes). growing up in a nation in turmoil can be stressful for anyone under any circumstance, even more so for 𝒜, an aspiring monarch with a vision for change and a dangerous secret. everything went south when 𝒜 had finally started to come to terms with their sexuality, and unfortunately for them, so did others. unwilling to risk being outed and beheaded before they get the chance to change the world, 𝒜 has no choice but to flee, with nothing but their trusted animal companion, a pouch full of coins, and the clothes on their back. 𝒜 travels west to a neighboring country: one that is warm, welcoming, forgiving, and very much at war with his own. enter muse 𝐵, the carefree heir to the neighboring nation that might just be the answer to all of 𝒜's prayers, hellbent on making things right and doing their part to help even if only because 𝒜 is the cutest thing they've ever seen.
【 the closer you get the better 】⚘ muse 𝒜 is a young trainee, dewy eyed and talented, at a popular company in the heart of seoul. muse 𝐵 is an already debuted idol (a fairly popular one at that) at the same company. they have spoken maybe twice under formal settings, have trained together silently a few times, and hardly ever interact outside of seeing each other in hallways and, of course, the weekly excursion where 𝐵 decides to help 𝒜 sneak food into the company dorms. 𝒜 is on a strict diet typical of the average trainee and 𝐵 (who is admittedly not much better off) is an individual of great empathy, having been a trainee once themselves and therefore knows what it's like to go to bed hungry every night. secretly, 𝐵 looks forward to their weekly late night adventures. it's fun, just the dose of excitement that 𝐵 needs in their monotonous idol life. 𝐵 is happy to help despite the fact that they barely know each other, because 𝒜 is lively, passionate, easy going, and really, really cute (which is something 𝐵 may have made the grave mistake of nervously blurting out one night at 3AM in a dark stairwell, a bag teeming with twenty pounds of raw chicken slung over their shoulder and two family size bags of shrimp chips tucked underneath their arm, but 𝒜 didn't really seem to mind).
【 if i jump (will you jump too?) 】⚘ muse 𝒜 is an aspiring actor and idol. they love performing but have always dreamed of some day gracing the silver screen. it's truly their biggest aspiration in life. after years of training and searching, 𝒜 is finally presented with the opportunity of a lifetime: a chance to play the lead in an upcoming romantic drama. the only problem: 𝒜 is a hermit with no friends who does nothing but eat, sleep, and go to work and therefore has no one to help them practice their lines. desperate, 𝒜 calls upon the upon the only person in the world who's face they see more than twice a month: their manager and friend, muse 𝐵. 𝐵 is energetic, caring, funny, amicable, and most importantly really good at what they do. 𝐵 has been able to keep 𝒜's life intact in ways that 𝒜 couldn't manage in their wildest dreams and 𝒜 is eternally grateful (and also maybe a little smitten). 𝐵 agrees to help out in a heartbeat, more than happy to help a friend advance in their career. things go smoothly until they don't, feelings get involved, and they can no longer distinguish between what is real and what is being read off of a paper. and... wait, has 𝒜 always been that good of an actor or is it just 𝐵's imagination?
【 i'd search the universe 】⚘ muse 𝒜 is the best friend of their nation's crowned prince. their country is small but rich and vibrant, resting near the water. 𝒜 was born with a natural love for the ocean, and so it only seemed fit that when 𝒜 was asked to help plan their best friend's wedding, they suggest a ceremony by the sea. the prince's wedding goes down in history as one of the most beautiful weddings in years, goes off without a hitch. that is, until the after party. it was the prince's idea that they rent out a boat and take it for a spin around the bay, and it was the prince's idea to spend $2,000 on the finest alcohol they could find. and so, it's the prince's fault when he gets a little drunk and falls overboard. 𝒜 jumps in after him without a moment's hesitation, but neither of them get very far. the night is rough and the waters are relentless, almost as if the ocean itself knows that trouble is brewing. the next thing 𝒜 knows, they're being swept out of the water and deposited on land alongside their nation's future leader, who is alive but very much unconscious. their savior: muse 𝐵. 𝒜 only catches a glimpse of 𝐵 before they retreat back into the water, but they're sure they saw what they saw: a startlingly beautiful face and, wait, was that a tail? 𝒜 is later able to write it off as a trick of light, but they're almost 100% positive they saw the glint of scales reflected in the moonlight. maybe they were just hallucinating out of fear and the waves carried them both back to shore. maybe it was one too many glasses of wine. whatever it was didn't matter, because mermaids are not and have never been real. end of story. 𝒜 is able to convince themselves that they aren't crazy and move on with their life for a grand total of four days before someone (something?) comes knocking on their door. when they open it, on the other side is muse 𝐵-- with legs this time, sopping wet and voiceless. despite the fact that they're sure they're losing their marbles, 𝒜 really has no choice but to take 𝐵 in and clean them up. after all, this was the being that had saved their life that night (it had to be) and maybe, just maybe, they were a little curious as to what other wonders the ocean was home to aside from the fish.
【 when my moon rises, your sun rises (under the same sky) 】⚘ muse 𝒜 is a young, inexperienced witch with an affinity for plants. they can communicate flawlessly with nature and possess the uncanny ability to speed up the growth process of plants. whenever they get excited or extremely happy, flowers bloom out of nowhere from the cracks in the sidewalk, even in the middle of winter. whenever they're sad or angry, leaves shrivel up and fall from trees and nasty vines with thorns an inch long curl around their feet. in a world where mundane magic is common, 𝒜's ability is extraordinary solely because of how intense and powerful it is. most witches these days, if they have an affinity at all, get things like potion brewing or basic spell casting (within their area of expertise), less common the ones who specialize in remedial magic or medicine. an affinity like 𝒜's is rare and most importantly extremely dangerous if you don't know how to use it. unable to help 𝒜 learn to control their magic on their own, their parents eventually enlist the help of a family friend: an old warlock with endless knowledge too much time on their hands. the warlock agrees to take 𝒜 under their wing as their second apprentice, and 𝒜 is excited to be able to explore the magic that is so deeply rooted inside of them. it's the perfect opportunity. the catch: muse 𝐵, the warlock's first apprentice with a dark past. unlike 𝒜, 𝐵's affinity can be mostly destructive at times, as they possess the ability to control the weather. 𝐵 can bring on tornadoes and hurricanes in a matter of seconds, can make it snow in the middle of summer and rain in the desert. because of this and the fact that they can be a bit of a wild card at times, 𝐵 has no choice but to live life in relative solitude until they learn to control their magic. they spend their days being homeschooled by a private tutor and their nights in the warlock's study. 𝐵 dislikes 𝒜 from the start, half because 𝒜 is optimistic and bright and annoyingly positive, and half because they now have to share the limelight of the warlock's attention with them. the two are polar opposites in every way imaginable. it only seems natural that they clash, but when they do things can get a little dangerous. it's clear that the first step to controlling their powers comes in controlling their emotions, but how can they when 𝐵 can't even be in the same room as 𝒜 for five minutes without getting heated and vice versa?
【 i can give it all to you (will you take it all from me?) 】⚘ muse 𝒜 has been in an unrequited love with muse 𝐵 since the day they met. having lived across the street from each other since they were 10 and now they're moving off to college, it's plain to see that it's been a long time. too long, some might say. 𝒜 has had to watch in agony as 𝐵, the extroverted social butterfly, weaves in and out of relationship after relationship. 𝐵 is free spirited, wild, loving, carefree-- everything 𝒜 wishes they could be but aren't. it's years and years of endless torture, but 𝒜 can bear it so long as they have 𝐵 by their side. it's a miracle in and of itself that 𝐵 hasn't left them in the dust by now, and 𝒜 thinks that all the pain and heartache they've felt pales in comparison to the pain they'd feel if they ever somehow lost 𝐵. they do everything they can to be the perfect supportive friend to 𝐵, always making sure to keep their emotions hidden. these days, however, it's gotten even harder, because 𝐵 has been dating this new person for 6 months and has recently been showing up to sleepovers and outings with bruises on their arms and legs and unshed tears in their eyes. 𝒜 has always been too trusting and loving for their own good, and all 𝐵 wants to do is protect them, but they can't-- not with 𝒜's significant other in the picture. their partner is rude, manipulative, and aggressive. 𝒜 sees how negatively this affects 𝐵, despite their efforts to hide it. they barely eat (they can't gain any weight), they never go out anymore (they aren't allowed to without permission), and that signature spark in their eyes is gone. 𝒜 has no idea how someone as wonderful as 𝐵 could ever let themselves be roped into an abusive relationship like that, but despite all of their efforts to free 𝐵 from their hellish prison, they won't budge. 𝐵 has never really loved anyone in their entire life except for one person, the one person in the world they can't have, and they come to realize that when people aren't fed love off of a silver spoon they learn to lick it off knives. but 𝒜 is determined to show 𝐵 that they are worthy of love, even if they have to knock some asshole's lights out to do it.
【 can i be honest? (i so hate to be controlled) 】⚘ "i never thought i could fall for someone like you." muse 𝒜 takes a long drag of their cigarette and muse 𝐵 warily watches them from the corner of their eye.
"why, because you break the rules and i don't?"
"no," muse 𝒜 scoffs and dies out their cigarette on the top of 𝐵's left shoe, leaving the other to squawk indignantly. "because i never liked your dog."
【 if i could turn back time (i would do better) 】⚘ muse 𝒜 was born in a world where the first words your soulmate says to you are inked somewhere on your body. it's like a birthmark of sorts, one that appears at birth and only fades away once you have met your soulmate. it seems like such a romantic thing, right? wrong. muse 𝒜 has been cursed with the words, "Move, bitchboy! I'm coming for those cheese fries!" tattooed in angry red at the base of their neck since birth. every time someone asks to see it, they cringe. 𝒜 is tired of the looks of pity, looks of concern or bewilderment, even the laughs aimed at them every time someone sees it. it's pure agony. 𝒜 grows up and enters adulthood resenting their soulmate for the years and years of embarrassment and torture. they even go as far as to try to have it removed, only to find that they can't. muse 𝐵 isn't much better off. when they finally meet, muse 𝒜 goes off. they rant on and on about having to live their entire life up until now with that shameful sentence permanently scrawled onto their body. muse 𝐵, dumbstruck, merely responds by lifting up their shirt and showing the other the long block of angry text on their stomach. "how would you feel about having that paragraph taking up half of your abdomen?!"
【 you're a little much for me (you're a liability) 】⚘ muse 𝒜 has always dreamed of having the full college experience. they want it all: the parties, the 6 hour trips to the library to study until their brain melts, the 3AM adventures with their room mate to the corner store to impulsively dye their hair. they have it all mapped out in their head, and everything is fine and dandy until they get there and nothing is like they expected it to be. there isn't a party every night like they thought there'd be, the library closes at 8, and their roommate is a flaming asshole. muse 𝐵 is judgmental, rude, and definitely doesn't want to be 𝒜's partner in crime. all 𝐵 wants is to hole themselves up in their room and study in favor of maintaining their perfect grade point average. 𝐵 is put off by 𝒜's whimsical nature and 𝒜 is devastated from having their dreams crushed. needless to say say, they hate each other instantly. they do everything in their power to make the other suffer, from putting glue in the other's shampoo to dye in their laundry detergent. it's a huge mess, and once they realize it would be much easier to learn how to peacefully coexist rather than keep up their childish prank war, it becomes even messier. muse 𝐵 realizes that 𝒜 actually isn't as juvenile as they thought, that their whimsical nature is actually kind of admirable, and 𝒜 may come to realize that 𝐵 isn't the cold shut in they proclaim to be.
