labyrinic
down down down by the river (by the river)
Hi hi so you can call me Byrin or Rin or whatever, I don't really care aslkdjfhg I'm in my late-late twenties, we're really staring thirty down here at this point. And I'm only a little embarrassed by the graphics I made <3 but at this point I got so exhausted trying to find different little decorations and being unhappy, and I sunk enough hours into making these, that I can't be assed to figure something else out. I just wanna post my ad LOL
And I'm here today to bring you a very, very hyper specific and long winded ad. Because I myself am hyper specific and long winded <3 I have a lot to say all the time, both in and out of character. My character profiles are frequently like 5,000 words long and I can write that IC just as easily. I don't always, but I'm incredibly capable of doing so and I'm trying to warn you now. A lot of people don't like reading that much. I've been told I am intimidating, in spite of every assurance I give everyone constantly that they don't have to write character profiles and they don't have to word count match me. You don't have to write a profile, I promise. I'm just so long winded that it is genuinely better for every party involved if I put my thoughts in a handy dandy profile for people to read so I'm not mindlessly babbling at them more than I have to.
That said! As I'm sure you probably gleaned by now (either from the thread title, the tabs on this post, or the decoration on this post), I'm looking for a very narrow field of things. I'm autistic and a demi-ace, so I'm completely consumed by Marvel and Baldur's Gate and part of that is my taste is very very hyper specific. I'm only looking to write against Tony Stark or Gale Dekarios. Now I have a whole list of AUs, so it doesn't have to be in their home media if you don't want, and I'm more than happy to split roleplay with you if I know the other fandom. But your options for what you write for my side are narrow. It's Tony or Gale, take your pick alksdjhfgk
I've got all my plot ideas and anything else I'd ramble about in their tabs (hence picking this way of laying my information out). Final warning now: there is a LOT to read. I talk a LOT and I have a lot of thoughts and a lot of feelings. I mean when I say if you don't like reading, you're gonna want to pass this advert by. No hard feelings! And no judgment against you, I know we're all mentally ill in this hobby. Most of us have ADHD and/or depression, I understand not wanting to read this much.
Hell I'm pushing it with how long this intro is lmfao
A smidge more about me: In OOC I don't do proper case like this, it's all lower case. I'm, like I said, autistic and also queer. I swear a lot, probably excessively to some. I have many many untreated mental illnesses and I have an unstable home life so although I am a certified yapper and I never shut the fuck up, I do actually shut the fuck up sometimes. I will run out of social battery in the blink of an eye and might go radio silent out of the blue for a few hours or a day. I'm on some new medication for a physical ail we're trying to handle and it makes me really really tired and nauseous, so that can also put me out of commission suddenly and out of the blue.
I'm very enthusiastic about a lot of things, I pull more than my weight in a roleplay (I will frequently just start writing a room of NPCs because I used to admin roleplays, and I don't expect you to NPC match me). If you're nice and polite about it and you're not asking me to get into something impossible to catch up on in less than six months like One Piece, I might even look into a fandom of yours! I'm very happy to reciprocate desperate hyper specific needs because like. Look at me. Listen you might not know it yet but by the time you read this entire ad (if you do) you will see that I'm all over the place asking for the moon and shit. I'm happy to give the moon in return.
I love video games, I don't think I mention it much in the ad (outside of like.... BG3... obviously aksjfgh) but it's what I spend most my free time doing if I'm not writing. I love love love video games so much, and am usually happy to look into a VG as well if again it's not like impossible for me to do.
I'm also an artist, but an artist with several mental illnesses in a trench coat so that comes and goes alksjkdhfg
Uhhh I think that's? It? for introductions? I stuck at this part I was basically using it as a big fat warning to people. I don't want anyone to be surprised aslkdfjgk I try to be very authentic in how I present myself so that when we get in DMs no one is surprised
Also I'm ghost friendly because like, I've done it. I've done it so much. I am too sick and disabled and afraid of people to pretend like I don't. Turbo anxiety is one of those mental illnesses in the trench coat alskdjfg
And frankly if we were talking at any point in the last year and I vanished, I'm sorry about that. A very close friend of mine died, and I kind of didn't know what to do about it and ended up shutting down socially (and then a bunch of other shit happened on top of that aslkjdhg).
Since I'm in my late-late twenties, I'm looking for someone who is at least 23 themselves, but it'd be even better if you were 25+
In this house we double. If you don't know what doubling means, it means that I write both my character and who you want me to write for you, and you write your character and who I want you to write for me.
It's a fairness thing derived from the old days of "canon x oc is SO selfish and unfair" which is why old farts like me say it's for "balancing" or "tit for tat" or whatever, since I've seen a lot of confused people lately. If I'm asking for canon x oc, it's only right I offer the same (or whatever it is you want) in return. Something I am completely capable of, I don't know why people make such a big deal out of lying on their fainting couch and claiming they can't do two sets of characters at once. Especially when they're totally okay with writing out background characters at the same time??
I will even triple for you, if you're in the market for a love triangle or a polyam OT3. You do not in any way have to triple in return, in fact I'd prefer if you didn't.
I also am completely comfortable writing as much space filling NPCs and canons as we need. I never let a scene go empty, and I'm happy to write surrounding characters. In fact I do it automatically. Sometimes people are surprised by this. I used to admin group roleplays.
At this time I am not looking for any NSFW content in my roleplays. I fade to black, and I won't be bullied into doing otherwise. (Dick jokes and talking about the fact adults do fuck is fine though, fading to black doesn't mean instant prude status). While this is not allowed on RPN, some people tend to auto assume it's on the table if we end up writing in Discord due to the being two adults thing, and I just want them to know up front that it's not.
I am however alright with like, a bit of violence. About Witcher 3's level is as far as I'm comfortable going: Durge can get messy as a treat if we want, we just don't need to go body horror with the organs, right?
Limits: Are very important, do not forget them. I do not want drugs, alcohol, smoking, vaping, or substance abuse to feature in or out of character. I don't want to see memes about it, I don't want to write about it. Nothing. I should not have to justify this, but my hobby and the dms of people I hope to be friends with is literally the only place I can ask to be a safe space. Because it is everywhere. I'm not judging people, I don't care what you do. I just don't want to hear about it, because I can't escape it anywhere else.
I also am not wild about sexual assault, or the community's standard limits list of: pedophilia, incest, bestiality, etc. Leave all of that at the door, thank you. Rule number one of the salon is don't be nasty and you know that!
All I'm asking is like, a strong confidence in your writing ability. Are you unphased by yo-yo'ing partner post lengths? Are you also vibes based? Do you feel like you have a strong sense of character writing? Confident in your ability to plot with me and share the load of moving the plot forward? Wonderful! That's all I ask. Confidence that you can do this, and if you can't, that you'll figure it out! Just because you haven't written something before doesn't mean I don't want to talk to you? Which seems to be a prevailing pattern people believe? Everyone writes something for the first time all the time omg it's totally okay to find your footing! You gotta find it somehow! Art of any kind is the biggest scam of all time. It is the fake it till you make it It Girlโข, you'll do fine I promise <3
The mediums I use are: PMs, Discord and Email
New rule: Please do not show me AI art of your character. Don't use an AI generator about it if you plan to write with me. Find a picrew or a dress up doll or some random picture on Pinterest. Hell just give me a paragraph description if you have to.
When you message me, do not just ask for my Discord or my Email. Do not just ask if I'm still looking, don't just say hey. The first message is a first impression, make it a good one. Tell me about yourself, tell me who you want me to write for you, what you're thinking, if you're picking up what I am putting down. Put some personality into it: This isn't a job, it's a hobby, it should sound like it when you talk to me. In this same vein, I'd prefer said first impressions are conducted in PMs. It's easier for me to get back to you there when I'm away from my laptop.
About Characters: First of all, in regards to sexuality / gender / canon / oc identities, everything is peachy keen! M/F, F//, M//, Trans, NB, Canon/OC, Canon//, OC// are all fine by me
My side will be M/F Canon/OC, but you are welcome to request anything you would like. This is Build-A-Bitch and you can, in fact, have it your way.
My side is also M/F in a distinctly queer way. My OC is under the ace umbrella, as well as someone who has some loosey goosey gender expression, so take that as you will ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
I will make you an OC, I will play multiple Canons for you, you can write as any gender identity or sexuality as you please. Just rub the lamp and make your wish! I will write almost any Canon for you, barring noted exceptions.
Be chill about my limits I beg
You know what, be chill about my OC too please the people that will come screaming out of the gate sexualizing her in like hour one is insane </3- โ

My OC x Pre-established, Pre-Afghanistan Tony and working through the films? His life? An AU? W/e, but starting in 2008 Iron Man
Now I know a lot of people tend to cringe at pre-established or in general think itโs boring. But I donโt mean they were already like super together and had had a full character arc and everything prior to the roleplay ever starting. What I mean by this is I want to play with a plot where my OC and Tony were acquainted (preferably as friends with benefits) prior to his abduction in by the Ten Rings. During his time away my OC will realize oops! She accidentally fell in love with the emotionally unavailable playboy she was supposed to be having a not serious relationship with! And now heโs probably dead. Cue emotional turmoil!
I like to pick the plot up at and start the roleplay when he comes home from Afghanistan, and work through the no doubt complicated feelings going on, building their relationship throughout the timeline. Iโm not asking for insta-love. Iโm just asking for two people who know each other and now have a whole lot of baggage to haul out of the basement thanks to someoneโs near death experience.
Iโm also not looking for this idea some people have that a roleplay ends with a couple getting together. I donโt want to artificially postpone them getting together, but again Iโm not asking for insta-love. Just for something to evolve naturally. Iโm sure thatโs all obvious but I have had people try to withhold them from dating for esoteric reasons, and I just want to cover my bases since this is the most frequently misunderstood plot I want to do.
Now obviously, this is very self indulgent. I would never dream of asking for this for my side without being willing to absolutely reciprocate. If you have a Marvel bae you want to work through the films with or some other self indulgent ask you never get to use, ask away. I am happy to do whatever you want for your side in exchange.
I also recognize this is disgustingly self indulgent, but what is roleplay if not the wish fulfillment hobby? Naturally, in return, I am happy to write whatever self indulgent AU you are after!
Although I like to start this in Iron Man generally (and still prefer that!), I've also been exceptionally emotional about Iron Man 3 the last few days asklkjdg so if you're down for the like ultimate pre-established where we assume this plot is their history, and Tony and my OC are together-together in IM3 (maybe even married?), then like, I'd love to do something IM3 too as far as this pre-established territory goes askjdfhg

General space shenanigans. Tony + his found family the Guardians is extremely important to me.
I absolutely adore throwing Tony and my OC up into the cold, unforgiving expanse of space to be picked up by the Guardians. Them acting as a found family for Tony just means a lot to me, especially with how the writers for the MCU just. Refused to make the Avengers friends? If they wonโt let the Avengers be friends, then Iโll give Tony friends by way of the Guardians god damn it. (Yes, him being Friends with Rocket and Nebula in Endgame was very important to me, thank you for asking)
I am perfectly happy with your side being either from Earth or from space! Although this idea revolves around the Guardians, please donโt feel like your love interest has to be from the space scape, as I am ready and willing to find a way to drop kick everyone into space regardless of where your love interest comes from.
If curious! My most commonly utilized plot involves the Collector hiring someone, be it the Guardians or another faction, to scoop up Tony. Frequently the reasoning is either A) Tonyโs suit and reactor is unique, and heโs interested, or B) heโs interested in getting him as a gladiator present for his brother, the Grandmaster's, birthday. We donโt have to use this idea, I am happy to come up with others, brainstorm something together if you like But I know people often wonder how I plan to get them up there, and that oneโs a pretty sure bet.
Potential Firefly influence?
Either instead or or in addition to the thoughts above, we could add some Firefly spice into this? Firefly is cowboys in space, letโs be real, and Quill gives a lot of pretending at being a space cowboy energy. I think kind of slapping him with some Mal energy could be really fun if you want him as a love interest. Not required! Just something Iโve talked about with some people before and I am pretty fond of.
Miscellaneous
I'm also currently in Chapter 7 of the 2021 video game! And I love it a lot so far. I don't know anything about the comics (but want to start reading them soooon especially the arc where Tony is with them ) and we don't at all have to stick to the MCU version of the Guardians (especially since I have my own headcanon version of Quill rattling around in my head that's 100% not Crisp Rat askjdhfg) I just love the Guardians as a concept. I love space families, I love Firefly and Star Trek is one of my favorite childhood series as well, and I love all the space stuff in Steven Universe, etc etc. I just love space settings LOL esp slice of life space settings (ST:TNG my beloved)
- Insomniac's Spider-Man
-
So Iโm like too in love with this game. As someone who never read the comics, and didnโt really get into Tobeyโs Spider-Man and catch the bug like my sibling did, I feel like with this game I finally get it, you know? Spider-Man is one of the most popular superheroes, and I wasnโt like. On the hype train. But now Iโm on the hype train.
Iโm unfortunately not really sure what I want to do with these games. All I know is that I love them, and Iโd trade several organs to be able to write Insomniacโs Peter for you. I want to write him so so bad I just think heโs wonderful. I also love Yuri but not nearly as much as Peter.
We could follow the games, maybe do some pre-game stuff with Peter? Explore some of the 8 years prior to the game of him being Spidey? Maybe expand on some of the lore tidbits we get throughout the game in dialogue and mostly the backpack collectables? We could also do some post-game (any of the three) stuff. We could rewrite some of the game! We could save some characters maybe. Iโm not sure! Iโd love to explore literally anything with this, so if you have something in mind please let me know!
Iโd love to figure out some ways to incorporate other Marvel characters too, just because seeing all the little nods and hints in the games to other villains or heroes or the dialogue tied to certain landmarks, or Otto getting bankrolled by Advanced Idea Mechanics: that shit was thrilling. Iโd love to find a way to do more of this, even if itโs just figuring out how we slam dunk Iron Man into the scene.
- Multiverse Stuff ?

Loosey goosey thoughts
I have a few multiverse ideas, one of which is original but could also be tied to NWH or even Insomniac if we wanted. Another one involves TVA/Loki S1 stuff. We could probably swing something DSMOM related!
Most of it deals with my OC having been involved with a Tony (be it MCU or some other universe's Tony), and loses him. Then typically she either tries to find a way to fix it (TVA intervenes) or she goes on a grief fueled vigilante spree and gets somehow knocked into a new dimension (original/nwh/insomniac) where she can stop this universe's Tony from suffering the same fate, blah blah blah. It's all pretty loose and idk how super attached I am to it, but I came up with it because I was sad about IWEG and watching Phase 4 is hard LOL
I also have a Spider-AU for my OC (who is normally just a civilian and doesn't have any powers other than This Stick She Foundโข), because who among us didn't make a Spider AU after seeing Spider-Verse LOL

[โฆ] I am currently running a Good Aligned Custom Tav playthrough, and I am in Act Three. I have full intentions to do a Dark Urge, Astarion Origin, and Gale Origin run. Most if not all of them will remain good aligned, as thatโs who I am. We can talk about stuff I havenโt seen! But like. Donโt bust down my door spoiling the whole playthrough for me, please? Unique dialogue/narration stuff is a big reason why I want to do these playthroughs, and while sharing things here and there is fine! Just, be courteous of the fact I haven't done it yet please.
As far as where I am in Act Three: Iโve got a certain legacy character in my party, Iโve finished Daughter of Darkness, Iโve got most of Wizard of Waterdeep done, and Iโve robbed a bank. Those are the big things. Oh also I ruined a wine tasting party. I can be more specific with quest logs and shit if you too are around that area, but Iโm being vague for those of us who arenโt yet โก
And yes, this is where I've been since about October 2023. A lot of things came up for me, and I started a new run with my qpp that got exploded by Patch 7. So my progress is slow, and I'm unable to play the game right now. That doesn't mean I'm not still ravenously thinking about it at all times. Hence the search ad. I'm sorry if this is restrictive (but honestly, if we started around the beginning of the game or even before the game, it's not like we'd catch up to my progress before I finished lmao)
I am looking for you to write: Gale Dekarios against my OC
I would particularly love to write for you: Astarion, Karlach, Wyll, Lae'zel, Shadowheart, Minsc, Halsin, an OC, damn near whoever
Who I'm not particularly keen to write: Gortash, Raphael, Ascended Astarion, Cazador, The Emperor

I am more than happy to just shove both of our Tavs in the game and go from there! Especially since itโs what Iโm currently interacting with, and that makes it something Iโm thinking about all the time. We can craft companion quests for our Tavs, and we can pick a point in the game to drop them in if thatโs your cup of tea!
We can go as laissez faire or as hardcore mechanic about it as you like. Whether itโs just loosely following the plot or like sharing class builds and shit, Iโm down for either! But know at the end of the day Iโm one of those people who believe if the rules of Dungeons and Dragons are prohibiting fun, then itโs time to throw them out (like that old rule about all Tieflings being evil or some shit. Or how they can only be a limited amount of colors. Boring. Stupid. Whereโs the joy, WOTC? Where is it.)
- Self Indulgent Pre-Established (sort of) Bullshit!
-
Now I know a lot of people tend to see the term pre-established and cringe or in general think itโs boring. But wait, donโt scroll by! I donโt mean they were already like super together and had had a full character arc and everything prior to the roleplay ever starting. By pre-established I just mean that they knew each other. (And yeah, if you've read the Marvel tab, I did write the same thing <33 I get lazy too!)
Iโve got an AU that Iโm growing fonder of by the day, where my Tav has known Gale since they were teenagers (having attended Blackstaff together). Theyโre best friends and have been for decades at this point, and unbeknownst to Gale, my Tav has been in love with him since their days at academy. But his friendship means more to her than anything, so sheโs never brought it up. Especially not when he was dating other people and later Mystra. Sheโs always been supportive and just quietly, quietly pines in the background.
When he returns to Waterdeep after the netherese orb embedded itself in his chest and Mystra broke it off with him, after not seeing him for a while (since heโd been off with Mystra and later looking for the orb itself) she shows up to help him through this dark period in his life, and to help him find a cure. Gale is someone the game clearly writes with depression and something akin to (if not outright) suicidal ideation, and journeys of healing are narratives that I really really enjoy and cherish. So this would obviously be a lot of healing and then sweet sweet pining because like. Yearning, yanno? This sounds, as I write it out, like I can fix him fic and like I guess itโs not not that but? Itโs more about giving Gale the tools to fix himself.
Listen. Iโm not explaining it good. But weโre all depressed queers in this Chiliโs tonight, are we not? My depressed queers get it. We wanna see these bitches get some therapy! And learn to recognize their support groups! Even if that support group is your one school friend and your cat. You gotta start somewhere.
This can be a pre-game thing if you want to later move into the gameโs plot, or we donโt even have to touch the gameโs plot. I am happy as a clam to just party on with Galeโs personal quest and figure out an alternative solution to the orb.
I also recognize this is disgustingly self indulgent, but what is roleplay if not the wish fulfillment hobby? Naturally, in return, I am happy to write whatever self indulgent AU you are after!

This is my usual RP genre and is also my main background in RP. Thus, itโs something I am always down for (and honestly with the vibes the whole camp/long rest stuff gives, I feel Baldurโs Gate is well suited for).
This is. Very obviously less a plot and more just. Me putting that out there. LMAO
- Alright now here I am just to chatter about AUs alskjkhdg
I'm down with AUs for either BG or Marvel! I'm always super down for an AU, and a lot of my ideas could apply to either (as the keen eyed of you will have noticed I have a very specific interest in both franchises <3 alksjbdfhgj). So if you see something here you like that you wanna slather on either Marvel or BG3 with a Neopet Paint Brush, just say the word!

Main Inspirations: Genghis Khan - Miike Snow, Hitman (World of Assassination Trilogy), Kingsman
Secondary Inspirations: Man from U.N.C.L.E., generic spy / Bond tropes, Spy (2015), Spy x Family
Grabs your face. Listen. Listen to me. Are you listening? I love spy shit so god damn much. So much. So so so so so much. One of my favorite games as a toddler was Spy Fox. I watched Austin Powers way too young (largely my dad's fault but I loved the spy shenanigans anyway). Whether we build a sort of original AU off of the tropes inherent in the genre and the various media franchises I have offered as my main sources of inspiration, or we just wholesale take one of them and go "mine now!" and make it like a Kingsman AU or w/e is fine by me. I primarily have two major interests here.
Girl in the Chair (my OC) x Field Agent (Tony/Gale)
Supervillain (OC) x Top Spy from rival agency (Tony/Gale)
If we do something Kingsman specifically, either of those could work but I also have a third option, in which my OC and the boy are in a fake relationship due to witness protection. They're high profile targets for some supervillain, so the Kingsman (or the Statesmen, whoever) have posted a guard (or two, depending on what ur side is doing) with my oc and her boy who are pretending to be married, even tho they never met before this whole witness protection scheme
Also if we wanna do some sort of fake relationship a la Spy x Family I wouldn't be mad about that either LOL

Main Inspirations: Labyrinth, Kiki's Delivery Service, Fairytales, Dragons
Secondary Inspirations: Witcher 3?? Zelda?? Generic fantasy? Black Cauldron?? Dude whatever, I also love urban fantasy
Obvi this is more for Tony than it is Gale, since BG3 is already fantasy alsjkdfgh but I love fantasy shit! And if we pulled heavily from outside sources it could be a Gale AU too, w/e. If we do fairytales I call dibs on Rapunzel for my OC though, that's non negotiable.
I don't have a lot to say, just since fantasy could go so many directions. But I love fantasy. I love fantasy so much. My OC tends to be a knight in shining armor / paladin type in a lot of instances, she's a witcher in Witcher, I love her being a dragon tamer (instead of a dragon slayer like other knights), I love her being this protector for her damsel in distress askjdhfgk
I also love exploring magic in modern settings, witches in the city and how it integrates with technology.
I also love like. A good vampire x human au.
I ALSO LOVE AN EXCUSE TO MAKE MY OC A CATGIRL any excuse you will give me and I am slapping a tail on that bitch.
I love shit like a prince and princess who were betrothed as children but don't like each other as adults, I love shit like the prince/ss is betrothed but falls in love with someone else anyway. I love shit like my oc is in some loveless political marriage and falls for some magical creature (vampire, merman, etc). Love when a shitty little fae creature breaks up a marriage alksjdhfg or hell vice versa my oc could be the shitty little homewrecker LOL
I love fae court shit!
I also love isekai shit, whether it's an original world we make for them to fall into or! Shit like "and now I've fallen into my favorite book / movie / etc". Or even if it's an original story we make up, I'd love for like my OC to fall into her favorite story where her favorite character is doomed and save him through the power of love and also knowing how the story ends LMAO
I also really love playing with how androgynous my OC is in things like knight AUs, she sometimes gets mistaken for a man in AUs like that and I always think that's really fun for her to be minding her business meanwhile she's causing bi panic in her love interest aslkjdhfg (may have watched Mulan too much growing up but it's fine LOL)
I am literally down for anything fantasy, hit me with whatever you got
Here's some small ideas but we are not limited to them, it's just what I've got preloaded in the brain meats
First role is my OC, second is either Tony or Gale (dealer's choice!)
Pirate x Merman
Scholar x Merman
Royalty x Merman / Vampire / Fae
Witch x Vampire
Fae Royalty x Different Court Fae
Human captured by Fae x A different Fae
Prince's Personal Knight x Prince

I don't care what flavor if it's something low sci-fi modern like DBH, if it's some sort of retelling of Wall-E with androids, if it's some post apocalyptic fantasy thing where thousands of years after the fall of civilization some android wakes back up, if it's!! Some random sci-fi setting where a cargo ship crash lands on its route and some scavenger finds the still operating pilot bot, if it's some fantasy setting where it's an arcane automaton and there's witches and wizards and dragons - I don't care! I want to write a robot! SO so so so so so badly! I love robots I love writing robots so much. Many of my favorite media characters are fucking robots (Fi from Zelda, Data from TNG, Echo from Overwatch, Wall-E and Eve, Baymax, fucking Jarvis!!! That's my boy!).
I don't care what the setting is, I just love writing my OC as an android. I love writing her as an android SO much. Please let me write her as an android.
Main interest for this is just Android (My OC) x Non-Android (Boy), with an exception being Wall-E (my OC) x Eve (Tony)
- 80's

Main Inspirations: The Promise - When in Rome, Enjoy the Silence - Depeche Mode, Head over Heels - Tears for Fears, Careless Whisper - George Michael, Last Christmas - Wham!, Bands: Depeche Mode, Tears for Fears, The Cure, Electric Light Orchestra, Erasure (I could also just throw a playlist at you if you want lmao)
Secondary Inspirations: 80's aesthetics, especially the like... set designs of children's shows and cartoons around that time, and the early 90s (when the interior design was still hanging on)? That like... glass block walls and indoor palm trees, very clinically clean and "modern" but still bursting with 80s funk and aesthetic. Almost liminal spaces, the way empty 80s malls feel in photos and 80s office spaces.
Dude I don't fucking know I have this weird magnetic pull to the 80s. There's something about the aesthetics and the radio static and the TV grain that captivates me. I wasn't alive during the 80s but sometimes it almost feels like it was the way it feels hazy in my memory. I'm sure it's just whatever I was watching on TV in the mid nineties but fuck if it sometimes doesn't feel like a past life. Because of this I tend to love literally anything 80s, esp the mid/late 80s. Idk what we'd do here, maybe something slice of life (which I love!), maybe something fantasyish (I know I listed Labyrinth in the fantasy tab but I do love Labyrinth! A lot! And it hits a lot of those vibes I'm talking about!) maybe something sci-fi ish (the way TNG is the future but 80s is so. so good. it kills me.)
Hell with Marvel we could even do some sort of like idk. Merchant of Death-era sleezey 80s aesthetics type of AU where Tony's in his suck era before he gets hit over the head with a character arc LMAO
I have a slice of life romcom ass idea that takes place in the 80s just bc I like the aesthetics. Like we could do anything with 80s aesthetics I'm easy aslkdjfhg

Main Inspirations: Star Trek: The Next Generation, Guardians of the Galaxy (1, 2, and the Squeenix Video Game), Firefly
Secondary Inspirations: Outer Worlds (never finished it tho), any slice of life rag tag bunch of found family ass motherfuckers all living on a single space ship type energy you can throw at me
You know the Outer Worlds fan song The Fine Print? Were you expecting adventure? Were you looking for fun? yeah!! I was! That's my favorite part about space media LMAO (not to knock Outer Worlds, I'm just always like YEAH! I AM THO)
I like space media that's less that plenty (Star Wars, Fifth Element, you name it) but my favorite kind of space media is where you throw a bunch of bitches that preferably hate each other into a ship and watch them all become so ride or die they'll not only kill anyone that threatens their new family but they'll also single handedly fix the universe juust to keep each other safe. That is my absolute favorite type of space adventure, where the big focus is this group of characters and the main setting is the singular ship they live on.
So literally anything like that. I would love to do that, whether it's some sort of like ST or GOTG AU or whatever, or we make our own space ship and our own galaxy and alien worlds. You throw a space ship at me and I'm down.

Wanna steal the plot and character roles from other media? So do I! Here's some that I do often or have ideas for! Also, your love interest does not have to be limited to Marvel or BG3. If you want a love interest from anything I list here, just ask! Owen Grady, Rick O'Connell, Geralt, Lara Croft? It's yours! Just rub the lamp and make your wish.
- Disney / Fairytales

โ
Already covered more or less in the fantasy section, in that I call dibs on Rapunzel for my OC. Anyone else can do whatever the hell they want, forever <3 And we can mix shit around it doesn't have to be in a vacuum, the fairytales could all exist in the same space. Hell we could do one of those modern fairytale rps that were suuuper popular in the 00's.
โ - Indiana Jones / The Mummy / Tomb Raider

Here's the wind up and the pitch - !
College Student on Vacation x Indiana Jones (Tony/Gale) (her professor) out on a job
Already had that one locked and loaded, I've been thinking of it forever. LOL I love the Indiana Jones trilogy so so much (...... 4 and 5 are another story <3) and I'd love to do something with this. We don't have to just stick to Indy vibes though! Any treasure chasing energy works for me, we can mix in some Tomb Raider and The Mummy and shit if you'd like, we could make this more modern or not, whatever!
โ - Jurassic Park / World
-
Listen a quadspillion years ago I had a Jurassic World AU where my OC was a raptor trainer. That's all I have for you. I miss my raptor trainer, because she at heart and in every AU is a feral little ranger type that is an animal whisperer and is going to nuzzle all of the cute babies (even if other people argue velociraptors aren't cute.
She disagrees. This is why the AU was called Raptor Mom AU with my former partner).
Maybe Tony is a financial investor for the park, maybe Gale is a researcher that works in R&D. Who knows! I don't! I just miss my raptor trainer <3
โ - Star Trek: The Next Generation

I'm weak and stupid and love this show. I've been a Trekkie since I was six, sue me. Also Riker is like. Annoyingly my type. I miiiiight even let you just get away with writing Riker if you just wanna do a TNG rp LOL. But also! We can do a ton of stuff with Tony/Gale. One of them could take Riker's place (idk if that's my favorite option, but it's an option), Gale could be along as part of the Science division or even an independent researcher that's a civilian on the ship. Tony could be a civilian that, with too much leisure time on his hands, decided boarding a Starfleet ship would be some big adventure. Idk! We can talk it out!
In TNG, my OC is a Command division pilot, and I tend to have her work the night shift (opposite to the bridge crew). Sometimes she is a catgirl. If you read the fantasy tab, you know I have a weakness for catgirls.
[shakes a treat bag] pspspspspspss I can write Data for you! Or anyone else! (But I know who the favorite is)
โ - Gargoyles

Hi <3 At this point, you've had to've noticed a trend here. So hi, we met back in introductions, but I'm Rin and I'm devastatingly demiromantic. Which means I have a very very hyper specific type, as you have no doubt deduced by now.
[grabs you by the shoulders]
You look me in my eyes and tell me Xanatos isn't Tony Stark. You look me in my fucking eyes and tell me he's not Merchant of Death era slime weasel ponytail wearing 90s CEO ass Tony Stark with his shiny red Goliath suit like the fucking Iron Man suit
YOU CAN'T! You know why? Because I was watching Gargoyles like this CAN'T be a coincidence I can't be THAT mentally unwell. So I looked it up. And it was all on purpose. The fucking creators loved the Iron Man cartoon as kids and decided to make Iron Man their villain
Also yes this is more or less how I talk in OOC, here's your peak into our DMs should you message me alksjdfg I am very passionate. And autistic.
I'm sure by now you see the string theory board and the venn diagram of my love interests. Xanatos is Tony Stark. He's voiced by Jonathan Frakes. Who plays William Riker. Don't even get me started on Gale and Tony being the same person (I have a five minute rant complete with pictures). And they're all dark haired men with beards, and almost all of them have big brown cow eyes (except Riker but close enough).
But yeah so uhhhh babbling aside, Gargoyles! I very clearly want Tony as Xanatos (or hell I'd be interested to see what Gale as Xanatos might be like). My OC tends to be a gargoyle from the Manhattan Clan. She could be a human, I guess, but I'm more interested in her being a gargoyle.
โ - Witcher 3
-
โ
I briefly mentioned this in the fantasy tab, but yeah! I love Witcher 3, and have an AU where my OC is a Witcher from the School of the Cat (and originally from Toussaint). What Tony/Gale is up to you! Him being a wizard would work pretty well, esp w the plot of Witcher 3. But we can talk about it if you wanna do it, honestly I'm down with anything as my main interest is mostly just. My OC being a Witcher. LOL
And yes, I will write Geralt for you <3 or anyone else, but I know who's popular kasjkhdfg

Main Inspirations: The Holiday, The Proposal, You've Got Mail, She Loves Me (2016 filmed performance)
Secondary Inspirations: One Small Hitch, Christmas Perfection, Throw a dart at a list of Hallmark films it probably works
I just love goopy schmoopy romcom ass shit, and especially holiday themed ones. There's some art I saw once of Professor AU Gale where he was a professor by day and a fucking? Chess streamer by night?? It was the sweetest shit I ever saw. Who comes up with this! Geniuses that's who. I love that he was a twitch streamer for CHESS????? So you know, gay shit like that. Meet cutes at coffee shops, stealing the plot wholesale from one of the things I mentioned. You've Got Mail and She Loves Me are the same thing (based on the same source material) but just different flavors, we can do something like that idk.
I love stupid overplayed tropes like there was only one bed and fake relationships/fake engagements, I love hallmark bullshit like rundown inns needing restoration and frigid CEO bitch moves to small town and the hunky lumberjack divorcee needs to relearn the meaning of Christmas. I love mutual pining and one sided pining that becomes mutual pining, I love all that schlock.
You wanna do some cheesy holiday plot? Come at me with your gooiest shit and we can make something work.

JKR sucks ass and there's so much wrong with her writing and always has been. However I'm still stubbornly attached to that stupid magic school and do very much enjoy writing in that universe in my private hobby with other people who agree with me that JKR sucks and her writing is riddled with shit that we're just going to rip out and fix.
I love Hogwarts, it's my favorite part of the setting. I just love a big mysterious school with secrets to find and I'm also such a sucker for slice of life. Which a magic half sentient castle is so good for. I've also got this entire like university systerm for Hogwarts figured out more or less, so we can totally do uni years if you wanna fuck around in Hogwarts.
We could write in almost any era, though my favorite is probably Marauders just bc that's where I'm usually living when I ask for canon x oc alksdjhfkgk but Golden and Legacy are options too. I'd rather not do next gen and I don't pay any attention to Cursed Child. I read it once and that was mistake enough. I don't know much about Mystery but if you wanna and you can give me a quick infodump, I don't see why not. I've only seen the first FanBeasts so idk what's going on w Hogwarts in that era. Marauders, Legacy, or Golden would be my preferences.
โ - Anime and Other Shit

I also know an assload of anime. Maybe not as much as I'd like, but I think I've earned my place at the weeaboo table. I won't list all of them here, but you can always shout something out if for whatever reason you're like yeah! I would love an anime AU of Marvel or Baldur's Gate! This is the exact thing I've been looking for! alskjhdkg
Which is not a jab at you if it somehow is, more so a jab at me feeling like no one is asking for that. Except me. LOL
It's lower on my priority list (hence the no hearts) but like, I wouldn't say no is the thing. If I know the anime, and I'm vibing with the idea, I doubt I'll say no LOL
A few that come to mind: Escaflowne, Soul Eater, Ouran, Dungeon Meshi, Furuba, Your Name, Ghibli, etc etc, blah blah blah
And as far as the aforementioned "other shit" goes, it's just that. Whatever other shit you can come up with aslkjhg if you're out here like "okay, I hear you, but what about Pirates of the Caribbean? What about [this other random media]?"
If I know it, sure! Let's do it! The only thing difficult about me is the fact I'm only interested in Tony or Gale lkshjdkghj (and write a fucking million and one words any time I open my damn mouth)
If we can get around that, I'm so easy! Easiest person in the world, I'll write what the fuck ever.
