God I'm A Sucker For Characters Who Are So Utterly Loyal To Someone That They're Completely Unhinged.

so embarrassing to get obsessed with your own oc but it doesn't fuel you creatively or motivate you at all you just sort of sit there. like yeah I've been thinking a lot about blorbo from my mind. no images of them exist in the world and they have maybe 3 personality traits so far. I would rather die than attempt to write about them. I've spent the last 48 hours rotating them in my brain though

okay this isn't how I'm going to actually make a decision but I'm curious since I got likes, who would you be most interested in interacting with? 👀

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

doomed by the narrative but not to death. doomed to survive. doomed to stay alive inside the story. doomed to never escape the narrative, not even through death. you are allowed no exit. there is no way out for you and there never was. you couldn’t die if you wanted to. the narrative has a hold on you and it won’t let go. death is too sweet a doom for you. the story has something much worse in mind. there is no way out.

Yeah sorry I’ll never be normal about characters who only see themselves as having value in what they can do for others. Yeah it’s terminal. Sorry.

am always obsessed when someone says to a character “call off your dog” about another character.

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.

one-sided platonic feelings always hit me so hard. like. i want you to love me like a son, but to you i’m not much more than a servant. i swore our oath of brotherhood out of real devotion, and you swore it out of convenience. i want to go to the ends of the earth and the depths of hell for you and follow you until the end of time, and in your mind that’s no more than what i owe you

just so you know i know this dynamic is toxic and i'm not romanticizing it :/ i'm actually sexualizing it
