i feel like people keep interchanging MAINS, EXCLUSIVES, and AFFILIATES and haphazardly using them without really recognizing what they mean, so here's a brief description of the differences.
MAINS are the primary group of roleplay blogs you interact with on a regular basis. you might choose to prioritize them in terms of replies or ask memes, or focus on their dynamics more often than you do others.
EXCLUSIVES are the only version of that character you will write with. as an example, if you add a canon superman or a princess jasmine to your exclusives, it means you will not write with or follow any duplicates of those characters.
** this can also include FACECLAIM EXCLUSIVES, where you won't follow duplicate faceclaims of your favorite blogs. weird example, but if you're writing with a blog using tom hanks as their faceclaim, you might say you're faceclaim exclusive with that blog and refuse to write with or follow any other blogs using tom hanks.
AFFILIATES are blogs with extensive ties to your blog's canon. their characters are weaved into your storyline to such a degree that you cannot separate them from one another. maybe they're your primary or single ship partner. maybe you created the characters together. maybe they're from the same piece of media and you want to establish their significant ties to your muse and their story. this is a step up from exclusives, and their url is often linked in your pinned or placed on your rules page.

OK MY TREKKIE DEARHEARTS : who wants to really be slutty and do some real hot girl shit with me?
what does that entail you ask ?
WELL MY FRIEND - what say you to getting our tiddies out for a real, live, bonafide —
marooned on a barrren planet?
covert away mission?
a holodeck catastrophe episode?
something i haven’t even dreamt of?
can’t think of a plot but still want to?
n e v e r f e a r !
plotting is my favorite tune dialed up until the knob snaps off; i can build us a unique and interactive plot to get started!
shipping is fantastic, but y’all i am literally sending out a call to adventure!
we’re SPACE EXPLORERS ( well writing muses who are / adjacent to lolol ) boldly fucking around and finding out! your muse doesn’t need to be a star trek muse, you just need to have a willingness to want to go on a space adventure - can just be a one off or a plot we turn into a bigger story arch
so what do you say hot guys, gals, and non-binary pals — wanna murk a couple of npc red shirts with me?
then hit that heart ❤︎︎
( i’ll send an adventure starter. don’t be shy sliding into my dms to plot specifics & multis specify muse ! )
stay hydrated & stay classy, rpc 🖖

the idea behind the japanese art of kintsugi is that cracks in an object are part of its history. you know, those bowls that break & then the cracks get filled with gold so then they're even more beautiful ? we've all been damaged, but it's good damage because it makes us more who we are.
