Howdy .

Hi, hey, how are ya? I'm still Spink, a 26-year-old lady who's been doing this thing for quite awhile. Beyond writing, I'm a pretty generic nerd who enjoys typical nerd things. I'm real artsy, I play video games, I have 3 cats, and not to brag or anything but I can do a single magic trick.
╭⸻⸻╮
The Cool Relevant Stuff:
╰⸻⸻╯
⤤ I default to third person, past tense.
⤤ I enjoy all forms of nitty-gritty and it shows in my writing as well as in my characters. While I enjoy some aspects of slice-of-life fluff, I need a splash of something nasty to keep me interested. I mostly dabble in surreal horror but I wear a lot of hats.
⤤ Post length is totally dependent on what's happening. I'm generally a pretty wordy writer and while my starters can sometimes get out of hand, more action-based or dialogue heavy scenes will max out at about 1-3 paragraphs. With that being said, I'm really never a stickler for post length.
⤤ All my characters will be adults.
⤤ I'm a huge sucker for a good romance subplot! A much younger Spink started her internet career off in the anime shipping side of so I have a bit of a m/m preference but I'm not super picky as long as it's fun, and I'm usually happy to double-up, triple-up, whatever.
⤤ I love fleshing out the world with an entire cast of characters, so much so that you can expect mood boards and themed playlists for side characters I kill off in two scenes. I prefer to focus more so on general world-building as well as character/relationship exploration rather than pushing two characters towards a designated outcome, if that makes any sense? (':
⤤ I can usually manage a post every couple of days and do my best to let you know if that changes.
⤤ I don't care where we rp and I'll happily go with your preferences. I default to PMs.
⤤ I don’t have any triggers but it’s completely alright if you do, just let me know.
⤤ I don't personally use face claims and have a pretty strong preference towards a mixture of written description and abstract jpegs that have their vibes but if it makes you happy, I'll do my best.
⤤ I'm totally here to be cool internet friends! I might come across a little hoity-toity here but I'm incredibly casual ooc and I fucking LOVE to gush about rp shit. Send me all your memes, all your pinterest boards, all your playlists, your shit posts, your plans, your aus, everything and I will absolutely match that energy! I’m here for it! I get hype as hell for these fictional angsts and kisses so I hope you do too.

Things about you:
╰⸻⸻╯
⤤ You gotta be over 18.
⤤ Besides maybe a side character or two, your characters will also be adults.
⤤ I genuinely will never care how long it takes you to get a post out. Life is weird, motivation is weird, I get it - it's all good.
None of the vague plot-points below are set in stone by any means and I'm down to hodgepodge just about anything together. Hell, if you think we'd vibe and just wanna try your luck, feel free to shoot me a message as I'm sure we could figure something out..
What's On The Menu:
- Kalahari down -- grease paint, beasts of burden, and kid rock.
-
The life of a rodeo clown ain't easy, and it sure as shit ain't pretty. If'n you're a young pup, you can make some decent cash and have some fun with the buckle bunnies in just about every city from Reno to Austin. If ya stay in a little longer, get good at what ya do and catch the right amount of eyes, you might even get yourself on TV. Now, that's some good money.
But if'n you stick around too long? The money gets thin, the women don't come around no more, and all you got left is a bad back and less fingers than ya started with. It's a sad sight, a rodeo clown past his prime. You may as well just hang up your hat, put down the grease paint, and get yourself a job at the nearest gas station.
But some of us, we just can't let go of the rodeo. It's all we know, and it's the only place where we feel at home. And if you stick around long enough, the rodeo starts to notice.
___
I am foaming-at-the-mouth, clawing-at-the-walls, downright fiending to make a rodeo clown OC, okay? Just a real country-fried grease ball who takes a whole lot of pride in his job. While I don't particularly fuck with the rodeo irl, I dig the dusty, dirty vibes, y'know? As for potential hooks.. I can figure something out, I just need to know someone is out there who will match my yeehaw-flavored freak before I doom myself to potential.
- anyone listening want a brain washed like mine? -- dial-up internet, VR, and blood-sport.

look. I won't lie to you. I have only the vaguest idea of how this one might play out and it's a weird fever dream of old internet forums, hypnospace outlaw, perma-death, purgatory and the killing-game genre but in a real I-don't-like-anime way. An early-internet masquerade where some corpo pokes and prods at our characters in various ways only achievable in CYPER-SPACE.
The blurb makes this seem real structured, but it's really just a blob of ideas in my head. :') - There must be something that keeps me awake -- black coffee, bad poetry, and the pull of the tide.

Here, sitting on the splintering wood of a deck that's better days are far in the past, he has nothing to listen to but the cries of the gulls and the slap of the waves against the pier. There are other things he could pay attention to; he can smell the wet, salty air and he can watch the grey waves drag themselves onto the shoreline, but he prefers the gulls. Their cries sound almost human, a reminder of the world he has left behind, from which he is taking a much-needed break. The gulls have character and, for a lonely old poet with not much left to say, this makes them good company.
He's a little hard to look at. Hell, he was never very handsome to begin with, and his current age has done him very few favors. It's in his bones. Something about the way his nose bends and his ears sag makes people a little uneasy; like he's spent his whole life falling down and never quite making it back to his feet.
The offer had been sudden, but welcome. Come to this little island in the middle of nowhere, they said, and tend to the light. Keep the ships from crashing on the rocks and in exchange, live within its walls and write your poetry. It'll be like a vacation, they had said. You can even bring your cat.
So now here he was, sitting on the edge of a dock with a cigarette burning away in-between his lips, looking out into the fog and listening to the gulls' maddening conversations.
"I think it is my right," one seagull says to another. The other says, "No, I saw it first."
Maybe he was really losing it.

Who doesn't love a dreary seaside town where you can well and truly lose your mind? This is really just a general vibe-craving (lots of rain, coffee with no sugar, stained teeth, tattered windbreakers, the sea, cheesy poetry written by a sad, sad man) more than an actual hook; but if you wanted to play in the "weirdo who now lives in a big flashlight", I was thinking this could go in a "and suddenly there's a stranger who may or may not be a ghost/the devil/real on a little boat who is visiting this man every day" direction. Maybe it's one of those metaphors about death and our poor depressed hero is actually a goner and this is that in-between area that helps you decide if you wanna really move on, or maybe it's like silent hill and, not as nice as he seems, our miserable poet stumbles upon other not-so-innocent people lost to the fog and they band together to fight some big handsome triangular man. Either way, there's a cat. - at the bottom you'll find all my friends -- a dusty traveling market, the supernatural, bugs.
-
You can find anything at a flea market. Old china, used books, baubles and trinkets and enough junk to fill hundreds of attics. Between the afghan rugs and vintage furniture, people come and go like the wind as they search for treasures, bargains, and often, things that remind them of more simpler times. There's a certain nostalgia to a good flea market. A certain charm one could easily use to their advantage.
It costs five dollars to enter the grounds; a perfectly reasonable price to park, to browse, to spend hours in search of that one item that you just can't seem to live without. Most people would say it was a steal and, to those lucky souls who will never learn the intricacies of a vampire's contract, they would be absolutely correct.
Once the money has exchanged hands and the agreement has been made, there are rules. The contract is binding. To break the rules is to break the contract and the consequences of such is best not thought about. The rules are simple, really:
No violence within the market grounds.
No theft within the market grounds.
No use of magic or powers that would otherwise harm another or coerce them into an unfair agreement within the market grounds.
And, of course, no drawing the ire of those who would see the market razed to the ground in holy fire.
___
Modern supernatural hook, ahoy! I have a few OCs tied to this idea, but I'm happy to throw 'em out and start fresh if the need arises. The bare-bones premise is that there's a Big Shot Vampire who uses the market to do Not Totally Legal things while also lending a "helping" hand to other supernatural types that find themselves in need of a place to stay and lay low. Sure, she might take their humanity as payment -- but did they really ever have any to begin with? - misc
-
Not feeling any of those very specific ideas but still think we could make something beautiful together? Well, here's some fluff that might strike a chord!
⤤ Fallout! I haven't watched the show yet but I know an embarrassing amount about the lore and am always down to plot out something in any part of the universe.
⤤ Criminal Crime Gang Hijinks. Could be a small squad of people, could be a bunch of new-comers being brought together to do some Big Crime, or even an unsuspecting someone is brought into something against their will either via manipulation or a lil ol' grand theft auto.
⤤ Grim-dark kingdom bullshittery is always on my radar. I like knights, fantasy religion, and the burden of honor.
