Hi! 👋 My name is Silver! RP is currently how I escape [i]the horrors[/i] and lately I have been in the mood for a comfort RP. [u]Here are my ideas:[/u] [list][*] hurt/comfort theme where both main characters find comfort and healing through each other [*] setting: inpatient psych facility, could be one of those psych retreats? or outpatient? [*] I have a F character in mind who has a hard time with settling with calm; she wants peace but isn't used to things not being intense [*] seeking a M (cis or trans) in case later down the line we decide to throw in a little romance? If we were to do that though, I want the plot to still focus on the comfort RP theme [hider=IF we add in romance] If we move to romance, I am only comfortable with light smut/spice but I feel weird writing heavy smut while I am in a committed relationship IRL. Also, my character would get along best with a kind and dominant male. [/hider] [*] I love angsty writing and diving into trauma/mental illness, but I'm hoping for this RP there can be an even mix of angst and comfort/calm [*] gonna be honest, I would need some help flushing out the plot a little more; I have the main idea, but could use some help giving the story some direction[/list] [u]What I'm looking for in a RP partner:[/u] [list][*] average post size of a few paragraphs (with room to write more when you're particularly inspired or less when you're having an off day) [*] 21+ (25+ would be better tbh); I'm 27 and prefer to RP 1x1 with people who are closer in age to me [*] OOC chatting! I feel weird when we're just writing lol [*] posing at least every 2-3 days, if not more frequently. I've had a big itch for writing lately and respond pretty quickly (at least once a day) but I don't mind waiting! [*] mutual responsibility of side characters [*] communication -- if you're going to be gone for a while or if you're not feeling the RP anymore, please let me know! [*] slow-moving plot -- I looove to take my time through interactions and lean into all the feelings and descriptions[/list] Here's a writing sample if you'd like to check out my style and see if we'd be compatible writing together! [hider=stole this from another RP I'm in] Sirpa sighed and sat silently, letting the creature's words stew in her brain. She decided it was right and, as uncomfortable as it felt, she probably had more in common with Jay than she'd wanted to admit. That was the point. But it was okay. It was okay. It was okay. The creature's voice echoed in her head. She didn't want it, but she allowed it. No, accepted it. She didn't push it away. Was she being open, or was she finding new ways to make herself uncomfortable? "...something they know how to live with." That one stuck out. She'd thought about that before. She wanted to know how to live peacefully, and with grace, for more than a day or two. But what if she didn't really want that, and she instead wanted to hurt? She didn't really want to hurt, did she? The beginning of a spike of anxiety was interrupted by the creature's gentle hands on hers. A tad unsettling visually, but otherwise comforting. Sirpa looked up to meet the creature's gaze as it spoke to her, her frustration from minutes before mostly pacified. She took a deep breath. [/hider]
