Reblog if you’re an indie wlw RP account
The masterlist is here
Please tag your muse’s name & fandom (OC’s and multi-muses are, of course, welcome). It doesn’t matter if your muse is canonically wlw or not, as long as you portray them as such! (This includes all wlw identities; lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, questioning women, etc.)
YOU YEAH YOU.
Do you roleplay? If you roleplay you know how there’s a gazillion musings blogs or aesthetic blogs that are pretty…pale.
Do you write a character who is specifically Black?
And you’d like to see a blog filled with pictures of brown people? Or do you want to up boast writing skills a bit? Check out my blog @blackcreatiives! It’s still a work in progress, no lie, but I have plans for it that I’d like to see come to be.
Unfortunately, all the mods have been very busy with work. The blog is currently running on queue with requests CLOSED until further noticed.
We will try to have our masterlists updated by February 28th.

Rromani FAQ
What’s up, fam? For International Rromani Day this year, I thought it would be a good idea to maybe post some basic info. So here is your IRrD cultural crash-course cheat sheet:
The word “G*psy” is an ethnic slur. It comes from the misconception that we originated in Egypt (hint: we did not). Basically, white Europeans were like “hey those guys are brown. They must be Egyptians. lol ‘Gyptians. lol ~G*PSIES~”. AKA, they couldn’t be bothered to ask where we actually came from. Some Rroma have opted to reclaim this word and may use it to refer to themselves. That does not mean that it’s okay for just anybody to use it. Friendly tip: do not use this word unless you are actually Rromani.
Rromani people trace their roots back to India and some parts of Pakistan (but mostly India?). While many don’t necessarily consider themselves Indian or even South-Asian, we are also not white.
We are a diaspora group. That means we were expelled from the country/left nationless.
Rroma come in all colours. Some of us are dark-skinned and some are light-skinned. We are all POC. There are certain physical traits that are common in our ethnic group, but that does not mean that we all have these traits. In fact, many of these traits have been used to stereotype us, which isn’t cool.
Our culture involves a lot of dancing and music. And food. And our food is generally pretty spicy.
We are not Esmeralda (The Hunchback of Notre Dame). In fact, that book is hella racist and the movie isn’t really much better. In the book, Esmeralda was a gadje (non-Rromani) girl who was kidnapped by Rroma (stereotype) and raised in their community (stereotype). As you will know from the movie, she dressed provocatively (stereotype) and danced for coins (stereotype). Rroma women are often portrayed as sexual objects, which is really gross tbh. Although the cute lil’ goat friend is 110% factual. I mean, not really. But I had a goat friend. Her name was Rochelle. More on that later.
Rroma men are often stereotyped as lazy.
Other stereotypes include fortune tellers, witches, thieves, beggars, and street performers. I am here to tell you that we are honestly no more likely to do these things than any other cultural group so… yeah? And those that do are often forced into these positions by laws and discrimination in their home countries.
Speaking of which, forced eviction, mass deportation, sterilisation, systematic impoverishment and oppression, workplace discrimination, segregated education, and TAKING CHILDREN AWAY FROM THEIR FAMILIES are problems that Rroma are still facing TODAY.
Rroma are sometimes known as Travellers because we have historically been a fairly nomadic group (by necessity). Rromani people would (and many still do) travel from place to place, looking for work, only to be chased away by prejudiced locals. Think old man on a porch shouting “Get off my lawn!” at the paper boy. Dumb, right? Right.
We do not want your children. For some reason, gadje think we want to steal their children? Some even think we eat them??? We do not do this.
Gadje is not a bad word. It literally means “non-Rromani person”.
Our language is called Rromanes or Rromani Chib. There are like a gajillion different dialects. Those of us who actually speak our chib might not be able to understand another Rrom because of dialectical differences. It’s complicated.
We are not a costume. A G*psy is not something you can just become. You can’t convert. You either are or you are not. Wearing long skirts does not make you a ~*G*pSy*~. Being a hippie does not make you a ~*G*pSy*~. Pracitising witchcraft does not make you a ~*G*pSy*~. We are not mythical creatures. You cannot become Rromani any more than you can become Black or Asian or Hispanic. It is especially concerning when people act like we are a style instead of an ethnicity because a) it makes a mockery of our culture, and b) makes it seem like we do not actually exist.

Interruptions in Dialogue
Often hand-in-hand with our favorite, the em dash, people tend to interrupt each other a lot! Sometimes because it’s high tension, sometimes because they’re correcting the other, and sometimes because they’re sick of the other guy’s voice.
People tend to talk at each other. Disagreeing opinions may bring people to interrupt one another. Go somewhere public and listen in on someone’s conversation. How common are interruptions in real life? It’s pretty common.
So, consider adding some interruptions to your characters’ dialogue! Examples included, of course.
Interruptions add a realistic dynamic to speech. By breaking things up, dialogue will be more varied and more interesting to follow. Of course, you shouldn’t have characters cutting each other off left and right, or it’ll get annoying. But it does help the dialogue flow between speakers when properly implemented, just like how you want a variety of sentence lengths and structures.
They can work wonders on your characterization. Some will interrupt more than others, and they’ll all react to being interrupted differently. Do they continue their sentence, ignoring the interruption? Do they stop to listen? Do they get upset with the other for cutting them off? Are they just a rude person, simple as that? Or are they annoyed with that person in particular?
“She’ll come around, Ethan. I promise. Until then, while you’re here, you should tour the city. I’ve requested the day off tomorrow so I can—”
“That won’t be necessary,” he interrupted. I heard the scrape of a chair against the tile. My lips pursed. Estranged from Aunt Lillian or not, he was being harsher than necessary. Then again, she should have expected this. “Goodnight, Lillian.”
“Oh, of course! Goodnight. It was so nice to—”
The front door slammed.
You can use an interruption to show what your character doesn’t want to talk about. Is there a topic they’re avoiding? Are they cutting someone off before they reveal a secret, or interrupting a heartfelt apology before getting too gooey? Interruptions are a great way to swerve the conversation in a different direction.
He hung his head. “I’m just so ashamed. To let that woman deceive me—”
“It’s fine,” I assured him. “Really. It was an illusion, and we don’t blame you.”
“Audrey, if this is—”
“Don’t you dare say goodbye.”
They can help you set the tone. Interruptions are great for arguments! They increase the tension as characters clash to have their thoughts heard. You don’t want absolutely every line to be an interruption, though!! Keep it varied.
“You’ve talked to your mom on the phone, so I thought you’d give Ethan a chance, too—”
“Give him a chance? What is this, a competition?” I snapped. “You’re the only one who wanted him here. I was just starting to enjoy being away from them, and then you just dump this on me. Trying to get points with your brother by selling me to him.”
“Points?” she echoed, her mouth hanging open. “Oh, never! Alice, I swear I only agreed because I thought you wanted your parents to visit you. I thought it meant he was willing to try again.” Her eyes were pleading. “I miss my family, Alice.”
“It just means he’s willing to risk lesbian cooties for the sake of beating my mom in court.”
She recoiled, her wide eyes filling with moisture again. “He’s just stubborn. He’s always been like this. But after a bit—”
“You haven’t seen him in fifteen years. Get real, Aunt Lillian. He’s not your kid brother anymore.”
It can show one character’s dominance over the situation or conversation. Cutting someone off in speech can be a sign of their authority. The other person might give a weak argument, only to be cut off and shot down by the person on the offense.
But Aunt Lillian wasn’t buying it. “I want you to sit out for the rest of the night.”
I made a sound of protest. “But—”
“You’ve already strained your shoulder.” Her voice was firm. “You don’t want to injure it any more than it already is.”
I was honestly curious. “Why do you like her?”
“I don’t—” he sputtered, wide-eyed.
I arched an eyebrow, grinning. “You don’t like her?”
Vince looked at the carpet, pink still flaming his cheeks. “She’s just… she’s rather pretty, don’t you think? And she has a certain confidence to her…”
And there you have it! Just make sure to use the interruptions sparingly, and only when appropriate. If you use them too often, they’ll stop carrying as much weight. The fewer interruptions you have in a scene, the more weight each of them will hold.
Now go forth and have your characters rudely interrupt each other (or for other reasons)!

Vocabulary: It’s “asocial” not “antisocial”
Antisocial refers to ASPD (antisocial personality disorder)
Asocial is what you’re thinking of when you use “antisocial” to describe introversion and reclusiveness!
The two are not interchangeable.

None of these rules are stone-set, but this is the advice I have to give after much meditation on the topic of Character Creation.
