This Is So Me

God I'm a sucker for characters who are so utterly loyal to someone that they're completely unhinged. Characters who have no moral compass except their overwhelming devotion to whoever they've chosen to listen to. That's the good shit

me explaining my worlds/stories/OCs after internalizing them for so long

Hi there! I go by Gryph unless you already know me as something else.

I'm in my 30s and have full-time work and other hobbies and responsibilities so I cannot promise speed or consistency, but I’ll do my best to respond when I’m able to. RP is a beloved and favorite hobby of mine and I'm usually excited to meet the blorbos from your head, but I have to work around limited energy levels and time so I'm not always as active as I'd like to be.

I am generally pretty easygoing in my approach and most of my guidelines exist because otherwise I have a tendency to get confused and overthink things. I'll go into all that under the cut.

This is a hub blog to which all my RP blogs are sideblogs because I honestly can't be bothered to maintain that many accounts anymore. You don't have to follow it, but I promise not to spam your dash with irrelevant posts if you do. It's going to be kept pretty strictly to RP-related or RP blog update posts. It's super rare for me to have more than 1-2 posts a day here.

All of my RP blogs are IC/blog style, meaning treated as if the character is running their own blog, and interactions are happening online.

Said blogs ostensibly run on a real time timeline, but in practice posts may be delayed by quite a bit depending on my schedule. I may ask to handwave this if needed.

I prefer to write paragraph RP over Discord; mutuals are free to ask for it. I'm not the quickest but I'm generally better at consistency than I used to be.

I am very crossover friendly and generally open to interact with anybody in theory, but in practice I can be selective because I only have the capacity to do so much.

Everything runs on a single verse.

I prefer to interact with people who are 20 and up for the sake of everyone's comfort.

I won't follow everyone back. It's not a personal thing, I just prefer to keep my dash easy to keep up with and mostly focused on people I interact with. That said, I am not mutuals only and anyone is welcome to send asks or interact on my posts (and it's the best way to get my attention).

If you post a lot of untagged OOC and especially OOC drama I probably won't follow back at all.

If you have an idea for an in-person interaction that you're excited about writing out or just chatting about, chances are I am too! Please come to my DMs and let me know what you're thinking.

IC != OOC. Bleed (transfer of emotions between mun/muse) happens, but if you think I hate you because my character was being mean to yours I promise that's not the case. Please talk to me if something bothers you, we're all here to have fun.

I usually try to tag images that have content that a lot of people might not want to see (using the format #bugs for example), but text posts may go untagged unless I'm going into a lot of detail (an explicit description of a gory scene will be tagged #gore but an off-handed mention of it happening probably won't).

For the most part, follows coming from this blog can be treated as IC and coming from whichever blog you might be interested in interacting with. If you don't have a preference or you aren't sure, feel free to ask.

Likes are generally the same and can be treated as IC from the blog(s) it makes sense for. Again, feel free to ask if there's confusion.

I’m a huge advocate of OOC communication, and I tend to have the most fun and feel the most comfortable when we have a space for OOC conversation alongside RP. You'll never bother me if you want to ask something about one of my characters, plot with me, or if you need clarification on something. My messages are always open for those purposes.

I've been gradually getting braver with reaching out to people after a very long period of keeping to myself and a very small number of people and I just want to thank everyone I've talked to for being SO cool. 🫶

I'm always going to lament not having the energy to keep up with more but I'm really happy for the things I do get to be a part of. There's so much creativity in the RPC and I enjoy getting to see it even when I don't have much more than scrolling and tapping hearts in me.

Added a list of blogs to the pinned post. Going to work on reorganizing and redoing pages over the next few days.

"came back wrong" what about Came Back Afraid. You used to be brave. Too brave maybe, defying the odds at every turn, a fighter, cocky, playing with fire, first to throw yourself at the enemy. Until one day it all caught up to you. You came back, somehow, but now you know all too intimately how it feels to lose, to die, to be destroyed. Now you flinch and freeze and cower at the slightest provocation. Who even are you now if you can't be brave? The grave may have let you go, but the mortal fear still grips you tighter than ever.

(shouting through megaphone)

LOUD REMINDER THAT IF U HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT MY OCs YOU CAN ASK THEM AT LITERALLY ANY TIME

One of my favorite things is when a character does or says something nice and they’re like “don’t tell anyone about this, I have a reputation” it’s so funny they’re literally like I’m okay with being nice but I draw the line at other people knowing that I’m nice

Problem solved~! Hoohoohoohoohoo!
