Seeking partner for advanced historical romance [MxF or MxM]

Hello and welcome to my interest check. :D

Boring stuff:

- I'll post maybe once a week due to work and school, potentially more frequently if I'm having a light week and/or am procrastinating. But, I log on daily to check PMs and banter OOC-- I really enjoy/prefer to have a robust OOC presence with each other. Let's have fun and be friends and geek out over the story!

- I write at an advanced level. Please send a writing sample when you PM me! I can provide one to you too. That way, we have a better idea whether this'll be a good fit, before we get too in-depth with plotting. To me, "advanced" is as much about writing quality and character development as it is about post length. I can write anywhere from 5 solid paragraphs to 5 pages, depending on what and who I'm working with. My comfort zone is probably about 1 page for most posts, with longer or shorter depending on what's happening.

- No limits, really. Fade to black is fine, or we can write it out, although for this idea in particular I would think it'd be a hot minute before anything sexy happens hahaha. Generally, smut isn't my favorite thing ever.

- For general interest and edification, I usually play males, but I'm open to any gender/pairing/orientation.

- Romance is a must. Drama and angst are a must. Character development is a must.

- I do a wide range of other genres, settings, pairings, etc. So if you think we're a good fit but you're not vibing with this idea, PM me anyway and we'll go from there!

Fun stuff:

I have a specific idea in mind this time around. I'm open to other plots, though!

Keywords:

Historical setting (Regency/Victorian)
Forbidden love
Class differences
Age difference

Here's a sketch of my idea. It's open to discussion/interpretation. Yes, it's tropey, hello, am marshmallow, nice to meet. Obviously this is just a jumping-off point and we'd be plotting a lot more drama and angst and things as we go.

Details

MC is a wealthy nobleman trapped in a loveless marriage. He was once a vibrant and passionate man, but his marriage is slowly killing everything that was once good about him.

His wife is a flighty, superficial creature who loves to take on proteges-- make them over, show them off, and generally treat them like a living doll. Because of her social status, it's considered a great honor to have her attentions. Her husband generally remains aloof from such activities as much as possible, but of course, can only evade his wife's social engagements for so long.

One fateful afternoon, his wife's latest protege-- YC, of course-- comes to tea. Just how YC met the wife is up to you, but ideally I'd like YC to be quite poor, but still respectable-- essentially be a charity case to make the wife look good-- possibly (probably) someone with a deliciously tragic backstory.

MC is reserved, somewhat aloof, and brooding at first. After all these years being married to his wife, he's had to basically shut off his soul just to get by. But when he meets YC, something begins to wake back up inside him, and this time he won't be able to just ignore it.

This could also be played as MxM where the protege character is a friend of a friend, instead. If interested in MxM flavors just let me know and we can work it out via PM.

Okay... I think that's all for now. See you in the PMs!

Hi, hello, BONJOUR, and welcome to my interest check! I'm here to spook up some great 1x1 roleplays.

- My post length can vary from a few paragraphs to a couple of pages, depending on the flow and what you give back. :3 I'd say my "sweet spot" is 3-6 paragraphs these days. Post frequency is variable. Sometimes I can post everyday, sometimes it might be a 2-3 day wait, sometimes it might take a week. I'm a freelance writer so sometimes that has to take precedence over RP stuff. I also have mental health issues that throw me off sometimes. That said, I'll do my best to keep you in the loop as to when posts are coming!

- Also, I love OOC chat! Let's get excited and plot stuff! Even if it's not about the RP, I like to have a good OOC convo going. :D I have Discord for OOC, but would prefer to keep posts on the site due to character limit and stuff.

- Forewarned is forearmed: This will be a romance. If it ain't romance, I ain't interested! I also need lots of drama, and prefer darker themes and elements.

- Smut is fine, but if you don't want to include it, that's totally fine with me. If you do want smut, hit me with your kinks. Just let me know, either way!

- I generally play male characters and generally play tops, but I also enjoy switching things up and playing the reverse! I'm open to basically all gender pairings. FxF is probably where I have the least interest and experience, but I'm open to it for a good plot/premise/pairing!

- Other than romance as a central element, I like to devise some plot before we get started. I find the roleplay tends to last longer, be more fun, and be of a higher quality that way.

Here are some basic genre and pairing ideas.

♥ Genres and Pairings ♥

• Victorian/Regency
• ------- Noble/Aristocrat x Noble/Aristocrat
• ------- Noble/Aristocrat x Maid/Servant
• ------- Fortune hunter x Unsuspecting Noble/Aristocrat
• ------- Noble/Aristocrat x Workhouse pauper
• ------- Noble brothers courting the same woman/man
• ------- Arranged marriage

• ------- Vampire x Human
• ------- Vampire x Vampire
• ------- Werewolf x Human

• ------- Royal x Commoner
• ------- Royal x Royal Arranged marriage
• ------- Arranged marriage
• ------- Royal x Mage
• ------- Commoner x Mage

Here are some tropes/keywords of things that I enjoy in an RP. I don't require all of them at once (although that would make for one HELL of a story), but I need at least a few, most likely, to maintain interest:

♥ Tropes & Keywords ♥

• ROMANCE! I said it before, I'll say it again. Romance please.
• Drama
• Hurt/comfort
• Angst
• Tension
• Sickness/disability/disfigurement
• Mental instability
• Drugs/alcohol/addiction
• Taboo/forbidden romance
• Physically weak/fragile characters (A favorite of mine, playing against or as!)
• Age difference
• Size difference
• Pregnancy (Fpreg and Mpreg are both welcome)

The following are some premises that have been floating around in my head for a while. We'd have to flesh out the plots, but these are some jumping-off points with more substance than a basic pairing. I'm not married to these, either, if you have any other ideas you're craving to do and think we'd be a good match, hit me up!

♥ Plot Premises ♥

Noble/Aristocrat x Maid/Servant

Just a good ol' upstairs-downstairs romance set in some romantic bygone era-- anywhere from Regency to WWI would be good with me!

I have a couple of character concepts for this plot. One is a disgraced rake of a man with a tragic past and a mild drinking problem. The other is a fortune hunter-- which would make for a very ironic pairing, if he falls for a servant! Either of these could work for MxM or MxF.

Famous band member x Someone

I have a character in mind for this one already, but not much of a plot yet.

Nate is the lead singer of a famous rock band, who was blinded in an accident about a year ago. YC can be Nate's high school sweetheart who got "left behind" when Nate ran off with the band, or they could be a personal assistant hired to help Nate navigate the world without his sight, or-- whatever else you can come up with! They could even be both-- Nate's high school sweetheart unwittingly gets hired to be his personal assistant. Nate doesn't recognize YC just by their voice at first, so maybe YC keeps their identity a secret for a while.

Doctor x Patient

Character A is a mentally unstable doctor in a hospital. He falls for a sick patient, Character B. When the patient starts getting better, the doctor realizes he's going to lose his love. He takes it upon himself to make sure Character B isn't able to leave him by keeping them sick. It's up to us whether Character B will ever find out about it, or whether it could go on indefinitely. I'm open to playing either role!

Taboo Hurt/Comfort Romance

MC is YC's stepfather. YC gets into a bad accident, and/or is disabled, and/or comes down with a serious illness (terminal cancer? for the drama???). MC winds up being their caretaker because YC's mother is extremely busy/absent/dead, while MC works from home.

We could also add an element of distrust/dislike to the roleplay, where MC is new to the household and YC doesn't fully like or trust them yet at the start of the story. Think enemies-to-lovers type vibes, with forced proximity for good measure.

Western Brothel

The setting is a boomtown near a gold mine. It's a rough and violent place to live. MC is a successful miner with a checkered past, who was horribly disfigured in a mining accident. People fear him because of his appearance and because of the rumors about him.

MC owns a brothel where YC is (perhaps newly) employed. MC takes a liking to YC. At first YC is repulsed by, and afraid of, MC. But the more time they spend together, the more YC looks past his gruff exterior, and they begin to heal each other, until we ruin their relationship with more drama and shenanigans.

Even though I wrote this MC/YC, I'm open to either role!

Noble/Upper class invalid x Caregiver x Lover

A chronically ill person needs lots of extra help and care in their day-to-day life. They have a lover already, but when they get a new caregiver, sparks fly. The ill person is then torn between two people, leading to all kinds of drama.

There may eventually be a confrontation between the caregiver and the lover, where chemistry results there too, leading to a poly triad (but not without a shitload of drama, angst, and tension first). We could even bring in a fourth character so that we're both doubling, if you're up for it!

I'm open to taking any role(s) for this plot, but at the moment I'm feeling like playing the two lovers and having someone else play the ill person, caught in between them, would be fun. Originally I pictured this as a MxMxM plot, but this could easily be MxFxM as well, with the female in the invalid role or even as the caregiver or lover.

I'm open to this plot being historical or modern. My original concept was for a Regency/Victorian RP with the ill person being a consumptive (or something along those lines) but I'm mostly just craving the dynamics, which could easily translate to modern day as well! The ill character could have any number of afflictions or even multiple afflictions, all up to you.

Phantom of the Opera

We could play this out any number of ways! We could branch off the original plot, if you like. Or, I have a concept for a modern retelling of the story:

MC would be the Phantom while YC would be the Christine (or Christopher lol) character. I'd like to play this in a modern setting, so the premise would be a bit of a departure from the original.

MC met YC online and began teaching them anonymously. Unbeknownst to YC, MC has become obsessed and is stalking them. When they finally meet face-to-face, YC discovers that MC was disabled/disfigured somehow and can no longer sing/perform the way he used to.

While working with MC, YC becomes a wildly successful singer/songwriter. A romance blossoms between YC and MC. Things seem to be going great, until anyone that poses even the smallest threat to YC's career starts disappearing from the picture, one way or another. Injuries, illness, sabotage, disappearances... even death. At first, it seems like coincidence, until it's one too many coincidences. The way things are playing out, YC starts to wonder if MC has anything to do with it.

Enter the Raoul character, MC2, YC's high school sweetheart. Just as YC is starting to get really scared, they reconnect with MC2. There's still chemistry there, and more importantly, MC2 is a private investigator, uniquely disposed to helping YC uncover the truth about MC.

However, the closer they get, the more dangerous it is. As MC starts to suspect things are going on, it gets more and more dangerous for everyone involved....

Whichever way we go, I just love Phantom and would love to play with these characters somehow. :3

The Gardener and the Invalid

I've had this idea for a while about an invalid nobleman or woman (YC) who has an affair with their gardener (MC). Think misty moors, lavish country estates, stunning gardens, and taking the air on the veranda. I've tried this a couple times, but it's never quite taken off. So I'd love to try again. This could be MxM or MxF, I'm equally open to either! I don't have too many fleshed-out ideas for this plot, so we'd have to do some brainstorming, but I feel like the pairing has potential!

El Marshmallow's Dramatic 1x1 Partner Search~ [Advanced, Romance, 1x1, Drama, Angst, and more!]

Hi there!

I'm Jack, aka el marshmallow, a transmale barista with a penchant for being extra. I'm new to this account but I'm an old hand at roleplaying in general. I've been writing for a loooooong time (10+ years) and my craft has evolved with me.

I'm here to spook up some great 1x1 roleplays. My style is novel-ish, I like to write long, immersive, narrative posts, and would appreciate a partner who's interested in the same. :)

PMs are preferred as opposed to threads but I'm flexible if your heart is really set on playing via thread. Also, I'm big on OOC chat. I'd prefer to check in/chat as often as we reply IC, or even more frequently. I'd like to plot and get all excited with you and geek out over the story!

My primary interests are romance, angst, character development, and darker themes and moods. Let's bring the DRAMA, henny! Genres and pairing ideas are listed below. I'm open to others, I'll list a few here but if you think we'd be a good match please feel free to PM me your cravings and ideas!

Forewarned is forearmed: This will be a romance. :D If it ain't romance, I ain't interested! M/M is loved and even slightly preferred but I'm quite open to other gender pairings. I generally play male characters but could be persuaded to do a good F/F pairing if you have a burning idea.

Other than romance as a central element, I like to devise a solid plot in OOC chat before we get started. I find the roleplay tends to last longer, be more fun, and of a higher quality that way.

Bonjour!

I'm Jack, aka el marshmallow. I'm new to this account, but not new to roleplaying in general. I've been writing for a loooooong time and my craft has evolved with me.

I'm here to spook up some great 1x1 roleplays to deal with this quarantine situation.... My primary interests are romance, m/m, angst, and darker themes and moods. My style is novel-ish, I like to write very long, immersive, narrative posts.

Thanks for reading and thanks for letting me join! I can't wait to dive in.
