  • hello! You can call me Sid. I am just a little mushroom spore drifting on the wind. I like video games, house plants, and napping away my existential dread.

    I'm looking for a few fun, easygoing roleplays to occupy my time with. I'm pretty easy to get along with and love to chat, but there's a few things I should get out of the way first!

    1. Frequency Of Posting
    Like a lot of people, especially right now, I struggle with my mental health. Right now I am trying my best to crawl out of a very dark place. Because of that I can't guarantee I will reply on a consistent schedule, both IC and OOC. I have a lot of social anxiety I'm currently working on but it is a slow process. Because of this I ask for your patience! I never ignore anybody on purpose. If I don't like the RP or want to drop, I'll let you know! But I can go silent just due to life circumstances. I just want everyone to know this up front because I realize (and completely understand) that it's a deal breaker for a lot of people.

    That being said when I'm really into an RP and in a Writing Zone I can reply multiple times a day. It's like a loot box, you just don't know what you're gonna get.

    2. Patience - For You
    How could I expect patience from others when I'm not patient myself? Take all the time you need to reply; I will never rush you. I'm even ghost/drop friendly, so no hard feelings if you just don't feel like role-playing anymore. Maybe you do the same thing I do and come back a few months after total silence and say, 'hey wanna continue our RP?' And the answer 99% of the time will probably be 'yes'!

    If that hasn't scared you away, let's move on to some more fun things...
  • M/M Only:
    I'm only interested in writing stories about gay (or otherwise men-loving) male characters. Trans characters are a-okay, too. Just please write them respectfully. I like male characters of all kinds, too! From heavily masculine to waifishly fem - I love 'em all across the spectrum. I personally have a soft spot for androgynous characters especially. : )

    Age:
    I am most comfortable with my partner being 21+. I'm 29 myself.

    Flexible:
    I will write tops, bottoms, and verses; doms, subs, and switches. I ask that my partner is able to do the same. It's all right to have preferences, but at this point in my role-playing life I'm over being expected to play the domineering top all the time. Can't a guy just play some dominant bottoms around here?

    Forums:
    I only role-play on the forums, not through PMs or off-site. Sorry if this is a deal breaker for you, but I'm uncomfortable role-playing any other way, because my brain is weird and PMs make me antsy. This is only for IC though; PMs are preferred for plotting and chatting!

    Collaboration:
    I like to collaborate and brainstorm with my partners. When you approach me, please be open to it. It's even better if you come charging in with new ideas of your own. Let's swap ideas and build off of each other. I don't like making all the decisions myself -- otherwise I'd just write a story!

    Communication:
    Tying into the above, I value open communication! If something's not going right, or you can't understand what I've written, or you want to ask any question at all, please don't hesitate to ask me. This should be fun for both of us. The one thing that I can't tolerate in a partner is passive-aggressiveness.

    Writing Style:
    Right now I am looking for some easy role-plays; I have a general propensity to write long posts, but that can get kind of stressful to keep up with, so I'm not looking to put any pressure on myself (or on my partner). That being said, sometimes I can't help myself, so if I do throw a 6+ paragraph reply out at you, please don't run away! I don't expect that much from my partners. All I ask is at least one paragraph, and enough action to easily respond to. I only write in third person, but I'm happy to write in either past or present tense.

    Limits:
    My main hard limits are toilet play, DDLB/age play, transphobia/c*boy/'herm', m-preg, and cross-gen incest. And, y'know, the stuff that isn't allowed on this forum anyway lol. I'm also not especially into non-con; it's not a 'hard no', but it's not something I typically enjoy including. You can find my full F-list here.

    Laidback:
    I don't take role-playing seriously! It's just a fun lil hobby. I don't expect perfection from you and I'd appreciate it if you don't expect it from me, either. I love being able to banter and have fun with my partners. It's no fun if we're serious all the time. D:
  • I have a few of these. They're mostly on the smuttier side but I'm also looking for character development and a general plot direction.

    Serpent Charmer *****
    I have a character named Elias whose DNA was spliced with a snake. As a result, he's functionally blind, has a very low body temperature, and also is the owner of two functional penises. He works at a brothel, but has dreams of leaving one day and seeing more of the world. I guess at the core this would be some sugar daddy/sugar baby idea. YC could begin as a client of his at the brothel, and decide to 'buy' him. Not literally. Well, probably.



    The Worst Incubus ***
    Lysander is the underworld's worst incubus. He is completely unable to drain life force from humans without forming an almost immediate romantic attachment. Given one last chance to do his work properly, he is assigned to a human 'playboy'...but not getting attached is harder than it should be when you're a jealous incubus.



    Use Me, I'm Yours ****
    Set in a universe where vampires have dominated over humans, and use them primarily for servants, entertainment, and food. Most vampires, even the middle class, have a human slave. It's expected. Noble vampires are expected to take upon a human slave, and artificial breeding is a thriving industry amongst nobility to create the 'perfect' humans. Humans are to be used; they aren't to be loved. It's considered shameful for a vampire to involve themselves with humans in any other capacity, and nobles can easily be exiled if they are found out to have a romantic relationship with humans - or to treat them as anything other than cattle.

    Character A is a noble vampire who has only ever really had one desire: to be dominated. He has no interest in dominating over humans. In fact, he wants to be dominated by them. When his father insists that it's time for him to pick out a human slave, he dreads it: until he notices a beautiful, but unruly slave (Character B), who he believes will be perfect for his needs.

    Honestly just shamelessly ripped off from the manhwa Blood Bank. I certainly don't want the plot to be remotely the same, but the concept is something that interests me. Mostly I just want to play a sexually repressed, incredibly submissive vampire. :E I don't get the chance to play submissive characters often, nor do I normally want to, but I would like to here! I have a character for the vampire already; his name is Deimos.



    Something's In The Water *****
    YC is a misfit, shunned from his peers. The only place he finds solace is the holy lake on the plateau near his village. Legend says a creature lives in that lake, connected to the gods, and every year, his people provide a sacrifice to it. While swimming in the lake one day, YC almost drowns...and when he wakes up, he has been rescued, but not by a human. The monster that he has grown up fearing is indeed fearsome, but not as vicious and inhumane as he was led to believe.

    Inspired by a Sidlink fic I read of all things. The 'creature' that lives in the lake would be somewhat of a mer-person, except without fins. Able to theoretically live on land. Shark-like, including having...you guessed it...two penises. I am a man with simple interests. I'd like him to be a bit more beast-like than pretty-merman-like. A romance at its core with some dark, religious, and violent undertones.



    Second Chances *** (omegaverse)
    Fane - an alpha in life - is a guardian angel, which is far from a respected position in the angel hierarchy. You get demoted to guardian angel when you fuck up big time, and Fane did: by interfering with fate and rescuing a little girl from abuse.

    His new job is demoralizing enough, but it gets worse for him when he discovers his newest charge is an omega, and in his new demi-mortal form, he is no longer immune to his earthly desires. A story about two damaged souls finding comfort in each other, despite every force on earth and beyond trying to keep them apart.



    Electric Love ***
    It's well into the future, and what's the one major technological advancement human society has made? Fully functional sex androids, of course. It might have started out innocently, as androids designed to help at home, with nursing care, and boring factory jobs, but as the world got simultaneously more global and more isolated, human loneliness spurned a massive, multi-billion dollar industry of 'companion' androids, colloquially known as sex bots.

    Most bots stick to their programming exactly. They look, act, and feel like real humans, but in the end are still just wires and code. However, occasionally something goes awry, and androids develop a human-like consciousness. Usually, those androids are caught before shipment and destroyed...but not always. Some are too smart to get caught.

    Our two characters will be an android and a human, and the story would focus on their relationship, their struggles, and the android learning to become human. I have a preference to play the android but I am okay playing the human as well. (I am cool with the android being top/bottom/dom/sub/switch/whatever, whatever your preference is!)
  • These aren't very involved, just silly little ideas to expand upon.

    Dumb Werewolf Boyfriend
    YC stumbles upon MC, an injured werewolf, in his canine form. He takes him home to nurse what seems like a big husky back to health, only to discover the next morning a big man spooning him in his bed! How long does it take YC to realize that MC is harmless, but now devoted to him for saving his life? (Omegaverse is okay here, MC would be an alpha. Totally optional though.)

    Size Differences
    I just really want to do something involving a very big size difference (not quite micro/macro, but significant 'hamster with banana' vibes). Maybe one character is a space explorer who ends up crash-landed on a strange planet where the main species is very large (and preferably, but optionally, monstrous). Or some D&D-style adventures with Big Man > small man.

    Omegaverse Twincest
    I like omegaverse (disclaimer: no pregnancy pls), I like twincest. Let's combine them. \o/ (I'll play whatever). We could make this a romance with angst and hurt/comfort thrown in, or something dark with lots of unhealthy codependancy.
 
Saving this post to eventually dump some of my characters onto (but right now that sounds like too much work)
