welcome to MAYHEMHQ, a non kayfabe wrestling rp group located on tumblr established in early june 2024. thanks for stopping by, join us and make MAYHEMHQ your home! 🔗 ― mobile navigation

last post on here before we archive this journal:

because one of your mods is a little scatterbrained and mixed up the days, we’ll be doing adds tomorrow, THURSDAY the 19th, at 6pm cst! it seems fair to honor the original date, even if i got the day of the week wrong—oops!

please understand that if your held characters aren’t apped for by the first adds, they’ll be freed up and we’ll start promoting them for others to apply. 🖤

all inquiries go to @collisionhq.

[mayhemhq]

just a quick reminder: if you haven’t apped over at @collisionhq or reached out to us yet, your roles will be freed up on thursday night as we begin promoting the group! if you’re not planning to move over, no problem at all—just let us know, and we’ll remove those holds so others can apply if they’re interested. 🖤

[mayhemhq]

so about the reset, is the current taken list on collision roles that people have already reserved or are their roles that are being held until the writers get back to you? sorry if that’s a bit of a silly question 😅

they are being held until the writers get back to us or at least apply! if you don’t have time to apply, just message us and we will hold your roles but all you need to do as a current member is give us all your links + alias over there.

all holds will be cleared thursday night, though. which is when we will begin promoting, etc!

[mayhemhq]

this is an important announcement regarding the group: we’ve decided to hit the reset button and start fresh.

to be clear: this isn’t because the group is dying—it’s far from it—but more so because we want to redefine what this space is and what it can be.

our vision moving forward is to market mayhem as a place not just for writing threads and paras, but as a hub for creative writing in its many forms. we want to lean more into the kinds of things we’ve experimented with, like events framed as writing exercises or group collaborations. ideas like round-robin storytelling, open thread starters, and other ways to spark creativity will be encouraged. participation in these will always be optional, but we hope to inspire more collective growth and engagement.

we also wanted to address something that’s come up over time: we’ve learned that “mayhempro” is the name of another group that’s an e-fed exclusively discord-based. while this was completely unintentional, we still occasionally get inquiries about being affiliated with them, which we’re not. with the reset, we’re undergoing a name change to further distinguish our group and its unique identity.

with this reset, it’s important to note that not everyone here will necessarily be part of the next version of mayhem (rather, collision). this isn’t personal—it’s about creating a space that allows the group to thrive creatively. we’ve been lenient in the past with things like rolehogging and other issues, but moving forward, we want to ensure the environment is one where everyone can truly flourish.

for the reset, we’ll be exercising the right to kindly decline those we feel might not be the right fit for this vision. this is not to exclude anyone out of malice, but to foster a group of writers who share a mutual desire to grow and contribute to the energy we’re building.

we want to emphasize that this reset is not about erasing or hiding what mayhem has been or us behind it—it’s a chance to build on everything we’ve created together. the history of this group and the connections made here will always be a part of its foundation, even as we move forward. this is simply an opportunity to refine our vision and ensure the group evolves in a way that serves our shared goals and creativity.

we know this might feel like a big change, and we understand if it’s not something everyone aligns with. however, we’re excited for this fresh start and the possibilities ahead. thank you for understanding, and for being a part of this journey with us.

we’ll be holding roles for a couple of days over at @collisionhq. please note that being held does not guarantee acceptance into the new group. consider this an opportunity for a fresh start, if that’s something you’d like. for returning members, you’ll only need to sign up with your url, alias, and a pinned post to be considered.

LAST REMINDER REMINDER! your secret santa gifts should be posted tomorrow by 11pm cst!🎄🎁

if you fail to do so, you will be on a temporary ban from opt-in events like this!

[mayhemhq]

i kinda wanna bring someone completely different that no one’s seen in RP before (or in awhile) so would the audience prefer Oba Femi or Big E?

these are amazing picks!! i would love to see either, but my vote is for oba!

[mayhemhq]

here’s the official sign-up for a festive and fun rp writing event inspired by chopped, where creativity, chaos, and holiday cheer collide! this season's theme is gingerbread dreams & tacky traditions! sign-ups close on december 11th at 10pm cst, so be sure to sign up asap.

whether or not you participate in the writing portion, everyone is invited to the tacky christmas sweater-themed friendsmas feast in leavenworth, wa on january 3rd at 7pm cst.*this event is held on december 19th in canon time.

please make sure to read everything before signing up. here’s everything you need to know to participate and make the most of it.

if you have any questions or need more info about the event rules, don’t hesitate to reach out to us via dms! we’re happy to help and provide any clarification you need. no question is a dumb question. 🖤

sign-up period:

sign-ups close on december 11th at 10pm cst, so be sure to sign up before then.

to participate in this event, please like this post or comment below with the names of the muses (if sideblogs) you wish to have participate. make sure to specify names so we don’t have to search; “all” is not enough. liking this post gains an entry to the event, please keep in mind.

know that you're signing up for a writing event where you'll be writing alongside others. if you will not be around to keep the paras and interactions going, it’s best you skip this. replies are to be short and to the point, not novels.

after sign-ups close, we’ll randomly pair participants into teams of two in a post in @mayhemplus if there is an odd number, we will do our best to do what we can to make it all even and fair.

team dynamics / writing:

this lasts canonically for one full day set in leavenworth, wa on dec 19th, but in the group, the process will take place from december 11th until january 2nd.

the characters will be utilizing a local cooking school, surrounded by an abundance of ingredients and having access to all the tools and resources they could possibly need (more details on this in a later post).

once you’re paired, you’ll collaborate with your teammate throughout the event. we encourage you to reach out to them via texts or private posts to discuss your game plan and then dive into writing.

this can be as casual or as detailed as you’d like. think about how your characters will approach the challenges—whether they’re bickering about ingredients, fumbling over instructions, or becoming a surprisingly good team, it’s all about the story you want to tell!

the heart of this event is the writing! while creating your dishes and gingerbread houses, focus on character interactions, funny mishaps, and kitchen chaos. remember, this is a WRITING EVENT—it’s about telling a story.

keep your replies SHORT, mostly dialogue-heavy to maintain the flow of the thread. replies don’t need to be overly long—shorter replies with fun banter are encouraged to keep the momentum going!

emphasize the process over the result. nothing has to be perfect—in fact, we want to see some creative disasters!

the challenges:

round 1: create a dish (either a main or a side) using a random set of three mystery ingredients unique to your team, given when you are paired by us.

round 2: build a gingerbread house together. embrace the chaos and imperfections—messy frosting and leaning walls are all part of the charm!

focus your writing on the process: brainstorming, cooking, decorating, and the inevitable mishaps along the way. let your characters’ personalities and interactions take center stage.

submission details

deadline: all submissions must be posted by 10pm CST on january 2nd, 2025. the friendmas event will take place on january 3rd, 2025, giving us time to remind anyone who hasn't posted and ensure everything is good to go!

requirements:

pick one person from the team to post the dish and gingerbread house you’ve prepared, tagging both of your names with a description of your dish and how the mystery ingredients were used.

it's optional, but feel free to share how each of you contributed to creating the dish.

a photo of your completed dish.

a photo of your gingerbread house.

important: for photos, you can use pinterest or similar platforms for inspiration, but please avoid using overly polished, professional images. pick something realistic that fits the messy, holiday vibes of the event. nothing will be perfect, so just do your best.

feast highlights:

being that polls only allow 12 options on tumblr and we’re not sure the number of teams we will have, what we will probably end up doing is randomizing 1st, 2nd and 3rd place via generator to determine the winning team for the culinary clash.

first place will receive a bragging rights trophy to keep until the next event culinary clash event.

bring your tackiest christmas sweater! we’ll hold a group vote for the ugliest sweater, too, with a small prize for the winner.

the dishes and gingerbread houses created during the event will be the stars of the feast. your characters can “sample” these dishes, laugh about the process, and share the holiday spirit.

there will also be plenty of additional food to enjoy for everyone attending.

future events if culinary clash is a hit, we plan to host more of these events throughout the year, each with new twists and themes. the winning team will remain paired for the next event, keeping their trophy until another team dethrones them. if a member of a winning team departs (either by removal or choice), the remaining player retains the trophy and can continue with a new partner.

final reminders:

embrace the chaos: this event is all about fun, sharing ideas, collaborative writing and creativity. nothing has to be perfect, let your characters’ quirks and mishaps make the experience memorable.

focus on the writing: keep threads lively with character interactions and dialogue. this is a great chance to explore dynamics and have fun in a festive setting.

have fun! whether you’re cooking up fictional masterpieces, writing about disasters, or just enjoying the feast in your tackiest sweater, we’re thrilled to have you join the fun!

[mayhemhq]

please make sure to sign up if you haven’t! for all of those of you wanting to write, this will give you a perfect opportunity. there is one full day left as sign-ups close 10pm cst on december 11th!

[mayhemhq]

REMINDER! for those of you who signed up for secret santa: it’s two days away until the gifts need to be posted! make sure you stay on top of things and do what you need to in order to have them posted on the 12th! 🎅🎄🎁
