REBLOG IF YOU ARE OKAY WITH JUMPING AROUND IN THREADS/PLOTS. sometimes it can take ages to get from point a to point b and half the fun is the journey. but sometimes it fun to explore different aspects of a plot. flashfowards, flashbacks, parts of the plot you have discussed but haven’t reached yet. It’s so fun to explore every part of a plot and have multiple threads in different places in a plot. Or sometimes different memes you sent/receive may not fit the point in the plot you are at right now, but fit a flashback or flashfoward. So reblog if you are okay with having different threads in different points in the plot.

Tips on writing good starters.

     In the roleplay scene, it can be hard to handle the task of writing a starter or a greeter for someone else.  Especially when your partners have different preferences, and you just aren’t sure if you can handle it.  When you have a lot of starters to do all at once —— it can be quite daunting.  So, with my years of roleplay experience — I gathered a few of my own tips that help myself when writing starters  ( although, now I need to get over the obstacle of laziness ).  I figured, hey — maybe someone else can get help from this.

     1.  Consider aspects of their muse.  It sounds lame, but you need to kind of look at someone’s muse  ( whether you know them well or not, canon or OC )  and figure out answers to questions such as  “what kind of first impression do they give off?”  and  “how would they react to a stranger walking up to them?”.  It’s best here to avoid topics that you feel may grow REPETITIVE.  To you and your muse, a topic such as  “who/what are you”  or   “why are you here”  may be new, but to your partner it may not be.  Try to avoid something as bland and repetitive, and try to find a new edge that makes a conversation or greeter all the more exciting that kind of grabs your partner’s attention more so than a thought like  “oh another starter like this??”.

     2.  Think of how the starter will carry onward in a thread.  Some people like shorter things, while others like to expand more.  You want to try to fit a starter with your partner in this sense length wise, but all in all we should all agree we’d want a starter that could get your muses somewhere.  Whether it’s knowing each other better, or developing a whole new plot on the fly — it all matters on the topic.  Whether it’s a one-liner, single-para, multi-para, etc., it’s your responsibility as the one writing the starter to get something going, not your partner you’re writing the starter for.  Avoid starters that makes them step up and get things going — or something too vague that no one knows what’s going on.  Be clear, be interesting, and find something that can expand longer than just 2 or 3 replies.  So you may write something like  “hey, im lost. can you tell me where i am?”  which could be quickly solved by your partner responding with directions or something — instead, aim for something more like  “you’re lost too?? lets try sticking together to find our way back!”  which will allow the muses to have potential bonding.  Bland example, but it’s an example nevertheless.

     3.  Grab your partner’s attention.  Try to write a starter that you feel will excite your partner  ( but make sure you’re excited for it, too ).  If you check out their blog // wishlist // etc., you may get a better idea of what they’re looking for in new roleplays.  It can help avoid the problems in the two tips above, as well as giving off a good first impression as a roleplay partner that you’re excited, too!  If you read their rules and see they enjoy plotting, you could always hit them up!  But always pay mind to rules concerning everything.

     That’s about all I have, since other posts cover other basics here!

I saw your post on finding photos for lookalikes, but had a question. Where would you suggest looking for lookalikes for characters of color? Most of my characters are just that, and are involved in interracial relationships and all I ever see are faceless/lookalike photos and gifs of white characters and white couples. I've tried searching for 'poc faceless' but get nothing. PoC gives tons of pictures and commentary, but nothing good for RP.

It’s a sad truth that there is a miserable shortage of faceless resources out there for characters that aren’t skinny, white, and young. The only POC-dedicated blogs I’ve ever stumbled upon in the past are either news-type blogs, fandom fanblogs (like gleeofcolor), or fetishizing porn blogs, and none of those are going to be helpful in finding lookalikes. 

I spent a few hours looking around just now, though, and here are some blogs I found that could be useful to you:

PEOPLE

beautifulsouthasianbrides (south asian women, wedding-related)

diverseiridescentbeings (biracial men, women, and children)

fuckyeahmixedbabies (biracial children)

womenofcolor (woc)

sexymenofcolor (moc)

COUPLES

weloveinterracial (f/m, m/m, + f/f couples/families)

diverseiridescentbeings (f/m couples)

interracialconnect (f/m, f/f, and m/m couples - pinterest)

interracialcoupleslove (f/m, f/f + m/m couples)

colourfulqueers (m/m couples)

queermenofcolourinlove (m/m couples)

wocwholikewoc (f/f couples)

colourregardless (f/m couples)

up-ir (f/m couples)

blacklesbiancouples (f/f couples)

interracialgaydating (m/m couples)

loveequalinterracialtoo (f/m couples)

heckyeahweloveinterracialcouples (f/m couples)

blackwomenasianmen (f/m couples)

asianwomanblackman (f/m couples)

whiteboysdatingblackgirls (f/m couples)

whitewomen-and-blackmen (f/m couples)

bwwmcouples (f/m couples)

You can also search the above tags with ‘couples’ and ‘relationships’ instead of using the singular form. You can also try replacing them with ‘romance’ or other similar words.

For the specific queer couple tags, you can try switching them around to “interracial gay couple”, for example.

For lookalikes of your character alone, I would suggest searching their ethnicity + different words for their gender (ie. ‘black girl’, ‘asian woman’, ‘hispanic guy’, ‘black man’, etc.) in the sites provided above. I can’t promise that there won’t be a ton of fetishizing porn in the tumblr tags, but you should be able to find some good stuff on pinterest and weheartit.

I hope this helps!

hachiwrites:

—casually adds @poc-characters to this list, it’s an inspo blog for poc characters—there are lots of faceless pics and other things to use on here too!

[octevia]

where do you find pictures for your picspam? its always hard for me because i dont want to get steal someones photo and get sued :\

oooh, let’s see the best sources I’ve got for you:

pinterest:

my pinterest: baunilla.

fave pinners: salazar, tragedy., charlie cee, camila, kristin, petyr pan, emily, india, claudia méndez and god all the people i follow there are amazing tbh so you might wanna check my following page.

my useful boards:we’re just sleepwalking: after midnight car drive till the city asphalt gives you numbness while the tires spin into the foggy neon lights;

bereft in deathly bloom: purity blossoming into something darker aka persephone according to ifallontragedy​;

modern spellwork: present day witches and young warlocks, covens and modern rituals;

tales lost in the woods: every grimm fairytale and every other lost soul in the timeless roots of each tree;

maidens of the sea: oily fingers reaching out the water surface, beautiful hymns from crushing teeth, sea creatures hiding on every wave;

holiest thing i know: gods and holy creatures for whom we build shrines and pray for; 

80′teens: the pastel colored youth of the 80’s and the dangerous teenage boredom that never goes out of fashion;

sharp jawlines: boys with cigarette ash filled lungs and stone-heart filled chests ever so slightly broken;

gunpowder in your veins: girls that exchanged makeup for gunpowder, violent souls living in the barrell of a gun;

quiver before beauty: a panel for our favorite students of the greek classics from the secret history;

a sip from alice’s cup: a panel for the girl who followed the white rabbit, painted roses and still had time for tea; You can also check these: design, models, editorial, stock.

websites:

trendhunter: i literally discovered this website about an hour ago. it seems to work really well to find fashion editorials and photoshoots, all you need is to type a theme of what you want and it’ll give you a list of articles. just be aware of the low quality of the pictures, though it does seem to give a link to a better quality along with the source.

fashiongonerogue: a lot of people i know on tumblr use this website and tbh it’s probably because it has a lot of great editorials in it with high quality photos.

photographers:

doyouspeakfrench (aka fanny latour lambert): i’m always browsing her archives on tumblr for inspiration. probably my favorite photographer ever.

petra collins: the best photographer when it comes to “the boredom of teenage girls” and 80′s-ish stuff.

brian ziff: i’ve always loved his flowerly gothic work and tbh i needed to check his stuff again cause it had been at least a year since i last saw it and god, it’s looking super great.

my aesthetics blog: baunillathere’s probably more but that’s all i can remember now. but if you need more especific help don’t be afraid to ask me, i love helping with that kind of stuff since i barely get any help myself loland well, about stealing someone’s photo: it’s complicated indeed but i think if you just pay attention to every source and if they mind or not if you use the pictures (or if the picture has no source it’s most likely it won’t even be a problem) it’s already a lot easier for you to make your edits without too much worry. and let’s face it, with the amount of people that use images without asking the owner for permission, it becomes quite hard for anyone to be sued or even to keep track of it lmao. but then that’s a bit of my opinion anyway…

[blkmedusa]

Karma will pop me if I don’t

[tumblinbean]

I made these :)

Sometimes it’s really difficult to find the right word instead of ‘said’ and most masterlists are difficult for me to understand. So I sorted them in a way I understood, and colour coded it to make it that much easier. For those of you that prefer no colour, I included that one as well. Enjoy :)

I also submitted them to @thewritershandbook, but figured I’d add them to my own dash just in case something happens to them on my computer.

[witch-vomit-deactivated20190906]

Also idk if y'all are dweebs about local legends and obscure historical facts and monuments and cool things in your city that are like…..unconventional I guess

But there’s this website called AtlasObscura.com where you can literally put in ur zip code or ur city or ur state and it’ll literally show you a map and list of a bunch big super cool interesting sometimes spooky things in ur area!!!

Like if you’re into crypts and catacombs and history and legends and unusual attractions….this is ur best bet

Especially if you’re visiting a city (like Boston cough) where you want to not solely do the popular overpriced and over packed typical tourist shit this summer!!!
