garbage bread

INTEREST CHECK
INTRO & RULES.ABOUT ME: ya'll can call me breadbecause only i have the right to call myself garbage; 30; she/they; eastern time. i'm a graduate with an english degree who decided to go back to school because i just love being in debt, apparently. (so, if that's not apparent: the lowercase is for aesthetic. i can type properly, i swear.) my field of study is paralegal science, which is kind of weird considering i've been a paralegal for almost a year now. at this point, i may as well graduate, but yeesh. other than internally screaming because why did i do this to myself, i like jrpgs, anime, and reading almost anything i can get my hands on. it's nice to meet you!
WHAT I WANT FROM YOU: i highly prefer you to be 18+, and the closer you are to 30, the better. i'm a fossil who wants to write with fellow fossils. (or pre-fossils, for those who fall between 18 and 29, pfft.) otherwise, i only ask that you aren't a jerk and that you don't write in first person. just not my thing. i'm not too fussy otherwise! i'm a very patient writer who will wait months for a response if i know you are still interested/not dead in a ditch somewhere. you earn bonus points as a partner if you like ooc chatter, mood boards, playlists, memes, whathaveyou. i get excited and someone who can match that energy's always nice.
ABOUT MY WRITING: behold, i come bearing samples! my preference is to write in third person, past tense, but i can also do present tense if that's more to your taste. if you do not specify, though, you're getting past tense from me. generally speaking, my posts tend to be approximately the length you see there (1200 words or so), although that length can fluctuate depending on the scene, my inspiration, what i'm given, or if you prefer shorter, faster responses. writing together requires us to write together-- i'm not going to throw a novel at your head if you don't want a novel. (or i can go full novella if you want novella. i'm flexible!) it is also worth noting that i can sometimes be a slow partner to write with. if that's an issue, then we probably won't mesh well. i try to post at least once weekly, and i'm almost always available ooc, but sometimes i stare at legal jargon for 10+ hours straight. it's a lot of pretentious language and latin, and eventually, it makes all words gross.
PREFFERRED MEDIUM: i don't really have one yet for rpn! i've not gotten my feet wet yet. threads, pm, you name it, i'm game. i'm willing to consider discord as well, although that's also a newer development. my older rp haunting ground is slowly dying: i don't know what the heck i'm doing yet.
ROMANCE/DOUBLING: it's not a requirement! honestly, platonic relationships are fine. heck, you want mortal enemies? cool. if there is romance though, i prefer for it to be queer in some fashion. i will write your traditional cishet love story too, but if i had to choose, i'd pick a queer love story every time. on a related note, i don't want to double for the sake of doubling. if it's plot relevant, yay! if it's for the sake of "i will play x for you if you play x for me," then i'll pass. to me, that comes across as a business transaction where one character is of lesser value than the other. that's obviously not always the case, but i want to write something we're both excited about, and i've not had the best experiences doubling. writing npc characters to fill out our world? heck yes. filling some weird quota for the sake of saying we both are writing a character of x gender? nah, i'm good.
FANDOM: yes, for the love of god. see the next tab for fandom cravings. please note that at this time, i only do canon x canon or oc x oc pairings in fandom rp. canon x oc isn't my thing. ...i probably will eventually cave and make a fandom exclusive search. we'll see.
HARD NOPES: medical needles (i'm literally phobic, can ya'll not), pregnancy, slavery in any context, incestuous relationships, power imbalances such as teacher/student or doctor/patient. probably more when i think of them. not sure? ask me nicely, and we'll go from there. i promise i won't get upset at you for whatever it is. i want us both to be comfortable!
FANDOM CRAVINGS.KEY: underlined characters are the ones that i prefer to play. bolded series/ships are things i'm really craving right now! if it's been struck out, i'm burnt out.
feel free to suggest other pairings, AU, crossovers, etcetera-- this list is far from exhaustive.

ORIGINAL PLOTS...and here's where i'd put my fully-fleshed out original plots if i had any. these are all just really vague starting points, and all of them need fleshed out. unlike the fandoms, i don't really have preferred roles for the super short prompts-- although that may change later. we'll see. regardless, they all need further plotting and can be altered any way you please. heck, if there's a fandom you like that i've listed, we can use these plots for them too. it's my search thread; why the heck not. the word bank, of course, is the most sparse of all, but it gives you a feel for what tropes/ideas i like.
VAGUE PLOTS INSPIRED BY MUSIC
EXXUS ─ glass animals
"when you see him,
look him in the eye, look him in the eye
and he won't dare to follow.
if you need to,
hook him with your right,
hook him with your right
'til he wiggles and wallows [...]
you wake up with a hatchet over your head.
i can see you running, i can see you running.
gone in the blink of my eye."
plot: someone who cheated death x death. it doesn't have to be a romantic pairing, but it could be interesting if we went that route! after all, death doesn't get the chance to get to know anyone, and after trying to collect what is owed to them over and over and over again, well... death can't help but begrudgingly respect the effort.
GHOSTING ─ mother mother
"i've been ghosting, I've been ghosting along.
ghost in your arms, ghost in your home.
when you're tossing, when you turn in your sleep,
it's because I'm ghosting your dreams.
and this is why I have decided
to pull this old white sheet from my head.
i'll leave it neat and tidy
so that you'll know i'm out of hiding."
plot: ghost x living. alternatively: different dimension shenanigans? heck if i know, but the song is catchy and makes me want to write.
HOPE IN THE AIR ─ laura marling
"i forgave you your shortcomings
and ignored your childish behavior
laid a kiss on your head,
and before i left, said, 'stay away from fleeting favor.'
no hope in the air, no hope in the water,
and sadly not me, your last serving daughter."
plot: youngest child of royalty x someone trying to help them undo their parent's mistakes, save the world against all odds, and maybe fall in love along the way? the song is based on "king lear" (in my opinion) so... have at. help me worldbuild. i'd prefer fantasy, i think, for this one.
I AM STRETCHED ON YOUR GRAVE ─ kate rusby (cover)
"oh, the priests and the friars,
they approach me in dread.
oh, for i love you still,
oh, my life, and you're dead.
i still will be your shelter
through rain and through storm
and with you in your cold grave
i cannot sleep warm."
plot: this could be ghost x living again, but this song gives me fae vibes, or even witch x familiar vibes. i just want something lowkey spooky, lowkey the village outcast loving something distinctly "other" while everyone else cowers in fear.
SPACE GHOST ─ glass animals
"said to you, 'why did you do it?'
touch the glass, i'll feel you through it.
against the wall with the bracelets on,
you look bizarre in the apricot.
you think that you're space ghost.
you're wanted coast to coast.
fuck that shit; now I go
my way and you go yours."
plot: old partner in crime x criminal. the partner finally has their life together. they cleaned up their act and are on the straight and narrow now. might even be engaged, with a white picket fence life, finally... until they get a call from the criminal, asking for help. one last crime, one last heist, and the criminal is done. the partner owes them, after all. the partner never got caught while the criminal rotted in jail, and it'd be a crying shame if that picket fence got ruined because of a snitch. (maybe they were lovers, too, before? For added flavor.)
YOU'RE SOMEBODY ELSE ─ flora cash
"well, you look like yourself
but you're somebody else
only it ain't on the surface.
well, you talk like yourself...
no, i hear someone else though,
now you're making me nervous."
plot: give me a plot where a character wakes up one day and realizes something is very, very wrong with their neighbor/friend/whoever, now affectionately named jim for the sake of me throwing this idea into the ether. it starts small: jim used to be left handed. now he's exclusively using his right. but a million small things start to add up, and then it's the larger things-- and now that the "normal" character ("normie" ) thinks about it, it's like the whole town is a little bit off. it started with jim. but then it's the librarian, who used to have twins, denying ever having more than one child. it's the next door neighbor, formerly an elderly veteran, now young again, like no time had changed whatsoever since the photos of their glory days. buildings are moving, slightly, but just enough to cause normie to stumble over a step that wasn't there before. people are literally being unmade, like they never existed, and the longer this phenomenon goes on, the worse it gets.
as for potential character dynamics, maybe jim is now romantically interested where jim never was before. maybe jim starts to remember. maybe normie meets one other person who is still the same, and the pair have to work together to fight... whatever this is. or maybe it's whatever characters you want to throw at this-- i just want that deeply unsettling feeling of things seemingly being the same but inherently off. psychological horror is my favorite; let's goooooo.
