you are where you need to be

Hello all! Self-proclaimed Lana Parrilla of the roleplay world and I'm here to help with all of your roleplay needs. Check out my Rules and What I Do pages before sending any requests. I'll get to all requests as quickly as I can. I won't be dropping my name here, so if you need to call me something, Lana works fine for our purpose.

Hi Lana! I'm not here to start anything but I was once in dejadisney and the mods there were terrible! Two of them are incredibly rude! They often poke fun at past members and members that are in the rp. I was in there for some time and my experience was so horrible seeing their stuff in the tags makes me feel like I'm about to trigger.

Thank you for letting me know, I would obviously need proof before I can black list them, but I will go ahead and remove them from the suggestions list for the anon.

Hi Lana, can you suggest a good, active, ouat/fairy tale or even Disney as a last resort rpg? Something lgbtqa and poc friendly.

Hi anon, quick disclaimer. I don’t often venture into the Disney RPG tag because I hear so many horror stories about problematic Disney groups, but I hope I found a good one or two. I also wasn’t sure your feelings on app/appless or on multifandom groups so I included both app/appless groups and didn’t bother with multifandoms.

Additionally, it’s hard to tell really how friendly a group actually is towards LGBT*QA or PoC character until you’re actually in the group as some seem nice on the outside, but you make a diverse character and can’t get plots or replies once in. So I do not personally guarantee how accepting each group is, as I’m not a member. I kind of tried judging based on bios that are up, admin posts and a few other criteria so I hope one of these fits the bill and hits everything on your want list. Here’s your list dear anon!

shatteredfairytalerpg is the only active OUAT one I can suggest that’s LGBT*QA friendly with properly cast PoCs/Diversity.

beyondalice-rp Alice in Wonderland specific, but looks good.

poisonedtalesrp Disney with non-problematic casting from what I saw.

disneyprincessprotectionrp another Disney that seems good.

castlewood-university looks good if you’d be into something schoolish.

fairytale-hogwarts if you happen to be into Harry Potter too.

carthayrp admittedly I skimmed them quickly, but they look okay.

Hi Lana! We're a skeleton bio/OC group about supernatural creatures that live in a hidden desert town called Ithaca, cloaked by a spell that is meant to protect them from the regular humans that threaten their well-being. But, what happens when humans begin to find themselves in the town? Our group is designed to inspire character development with tasks, events, plot drops and holidays! Could we have a shout out, please? Thank you so much.

Shout out to hiddenithacarpg! If supernatural creatures or town RPGs are your thing, you should check them out! Find their characters right here!

Are you ready for the real world? Everyone knows that senior year doesn't really count for anything—except for the opportunity to have plenty of fun before graduation. Set at a small college in Maine, Senioritis is a brand new, oc rp centered on students in their final year. We have a simple plot that will be moved along through plot drops and character development, and would appreciate a shoutout as we seek applications from those interested in being part of our senior class. Thank you!

Hi there, could we please have your opinion? Ghost Towns is an upcoming 4x4 skeleton roleplay centered on an indefinite roadtrip eight strangers take to abandoned places across America. [ But those walls aren’t the only thing holding secrets. ] Thank you in advance!

Hey there! Sorry this took me a couple days, I’ve been busy with life.

Overall Opinion: I like your icon, it’s simple, but the font is easy to read which is something a lot of people have difficulty getting right. Your url is great, it clearly identifies your plot and that you’re an RP. I can’t speak to your mobile banner as it’s either not loading/showing for me, or you simply don’t have one. It’s sort of like a ghost ;) Which is super clever if that was the intent, but I’m likely reading too much into it.

As for the main your chosen theme has a lot of potential. Usually I advocate for at least a splash of colour here and there because I’m just not partial to monochromatic themes, I find a little bit of colour makes my eyes keep moving over the page. That being said, with your plot, the lack of colour works, but the background really detracts from the theme for me. I would much rather see a grey (or some other shade) solid background, the grid distracts my eyes from the actually important things I should be reading over as a potential member. Over all, not a ton of coding errors or a bunch of things that need improving and the links at the top are fantastic.

Your graphics are simple and clean, I like them. The plot sounds intriguing! I do wish proper capitalization was used in the about section in the sidebar and for face claims the bios, but that’s relatively minor. The bios themselves are well written. They give enough detail, but also leave wiggle room for players to further develop their characters. I’m really glad to see you have a trigger list, sample application (so potential members have an idea what you’re looking for), and the rules look pretty good. I would mention somewhere in the rules your standpoint on smut (i.e. smut is not allowed at all, smut is only allowed for members age 18+, any minor caught participating in smut/deceiving about their age to do so will be removed, etc.).

Looking over everything else, it really all looked good. I think you’ve got what should be a fun and great group. Definitely check them out lovelies!

Los Angeles seems like the ideal city to start your dreams, seeing as it’s home to the biggest names in the industry, but it’s not as perfect as it sounds. From a-listers to d-listers, their lives are constantly being scrutinized by the public, and every little step they do is followed by the media. Do you have what it takes to make it big? This is an urban, bio, and hollywood rpg. May we please get a shoutout? Thank you.

Shout out to beyondtheglamrp! If you’re an a-lister, a d-lister, or anything in between and the LA lifestyle is calling your name, check them out. You can find their characters here!

Hello, could we please bother you for a shout out? Burnside is an original character LGBTQ+ original character roleplay set in Portland, Oregon. Our goal is to be an inclusive and safe space for people to develop their muses and plot in a group setting. Thank you so much in advance and I hope you are well.

Shout out to burnsiderpg! If you’re interested in an LGBTQ* RPG and have the creativity to make OCs, this could be the group for you. You should all give them a look!

Hi! Mount Prospect RP is a new supernatural roleplay about a town in Massachusetts. This roleplay is about the myths and legends that float around the town. Of course, with a town full of humans and supernatural beings, anything could happen. We are currently accepting canon, original, and custom character applications. Could we get a shoutout, please?

Shout out to mountprospectrp. I did a full review for them a while back and they scored high enough to get recommended so you should really check them out! Find their characters here!

I forgot if I send an ask to my drafts I can’t reply privately. *head desk* I’m an idiot.

Can you reccomend some good rph/rpcs to follow?

Oh...there’s so many great ones and I love everyone though! I’m limiting myself to ten, the first ten I see/think of. So if you’re not on this list it just means a) I’m not following you, b) we don’t interact, c) you’re not following me, d) you weren’t in the tag, or e) I just didn’t think of you because what is my brain some days?

So here’s ten for you in no particular order!

Do you do graphics?

I do dear, if you’ve seen my example graphics and think our styles are similar then I’m more than happy to entertain requests. If you’re looking for character icons, those I can definitely do!

[parrillarph]

Recommended RPGs?

Anything in my recommended tag! I’ve also been looking at Shattered Fairy Tale, The Wicked War, and V.A.L.O.R. personally. They seem like quality and meet what I look for in a group, but there’s lots of great ones out there that just don’t meet everything on my checklist, but may meet yours. <3

Hello there Lana! We are a AU Once Upon a Time RPG that is set in Season One. We've been open for a week now and are looking for a few more members to join our cursed town. We would love a shout out if that's possible. Thank you and have a great day!

Shout out to shatteredfairytalerpg!! If you like OUAT, small cursed towns, magic and such things you should definitely check them out. You can find their available characters here or message them about a character you’d like to see a bio for.

[parrillarph]

You need to redirect people to your new url parrillaofrp

I don’t have a new url, that’s just someone with the same face claim as me, using the same name as me, who has a similar url. I haven’t moved. Though it isn’t my fault, I apologize for any confusion this caused you or others.

“Graceborough University, a historically all female university in Western PA, has become quite popular again since they decided to finally admit males in 2014 and a murderer tried to make his own Graceborough without any scholarship girls but got caught. But, when murders start again 7 months later and seem to have less of anything in common except they are all female, what will happen?” Hey Lana! We’re brand new, OC, horror, and university! Could we get a shoutout?

Shout out to gburp. If University RPG or horror are your thing, you should check them out! You can find their taken & banned FCs here and their most wanted FCs here!

good twitter rpg plots? i'm creating one and everytime i try, it flops.

Twitter RPGs aren’t my thing at all unfortunately, so I actually have no clue what sort of plots even exist for them. If they attract the same crowd as appless RPGs, I’d suggest going with a town, city, or celebrity plot since people seem attracted to those.
