I've Never Actually Done RP In FFXIV But One Of The Things I Really Loved From The RP Community Was How

avangelical - Ava, digital setting (think a mix of Wreck-It Ralph, Tron, etc) MMO bot OC who went from a life of game-displaced crime to being infected by an eldritch digital supervirus

closely associated with @turbotime2crew and @creeper-pasta

Content warnings: alcohol mentions and alcohol abuse, body horror, bugs, drug mentions and drug abuse, excessive profanity, gore, parasites, sexually suggestive language, toxic relationships, violence

trashdotexe - Dot, multiverse-aware, developed, canon-divergent Undertale Alphys (from the 'Queen Alphys' neutral ending)

Content warnings: anxiety, body horror, depression, survivor's guilt

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

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

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.

People liking your personal OCs is still such a crazy feeling, I've been doing this for years and ppl asking about them still fills my entire heart with warmth and idk how to handle it

You enjoy this fictional guy I made up for fun?? Whose only content is random artwork or writing made by me and a handful of other artists at most? They have no show/book/game with a large fandom, it's just one person with an art blog?? I love u

to anyone missing my writing please know i am also missing my writing

people might think creating OC lore involves a lot of thinking & planning, but in my personal experience, OC development is more like a divine vision from a god slamming you over the head with a mallet while ur doing the fuckin dishes or folding laundry

I'm going to take a little break from the dash. I got some bad news on Friday that's led to a low mood that's been threatening to bleed into things a little more than I'd like in spite of my best attempts. I'll be back when I'm feeling a little more steady.
