✧     ARCHETYPE / TROPE : *chanting* slow burn! slow burn! sloW BURN! especially when it’s friends/lovers and they take forever to realize their feelings, and even longer to actually act on it. mm. and soulmates, but i really love the soulmate au’s with the countdowns or with like..the first word they’ll say to each other tattooed somewhere. ✧     EVENTS / TASKS : aesthetic related ones are really fun. i’ve been super into making playlists lately (you can peep gabe’s here). but i’m so so so in love with tasks that make you dig deeper into the character and what really makes them tick. as for events i really dig any order related ones, like missions and shit. those are dope. anything 2 make my baby cry ✧     FACES : ooo bOY i’ve been out of the rp game for a hot minute idk who’s used anymore!! natalie dyer, chance perdomo, harry styles (not as a fc, i just like his face), some other dude from sabrina i forgot his name, tyler posey, kat mcnamara, EZRA.

NAME / ALIAS + INTRO : I missed the recruit profile fun so I’m jumping on the bandwagon late (story of my life). the basics: I’m tara, I’m 28, I’m from the midwest, I’m a teacher, I’m in the last year of my m.a. program in english lit, and I help run a theatre company.  ZODIAC SIGN : virgo sun, capricorn moon, scorpio rising (which I only learned 10 seconds ago, and now I’m reading up on my moon/rising signs, and they’re... so accurate). HOGWARTS HOUSE : hufflepuff. FAVORITES / WRITING

✧     ARCHETYPE / TROPE : in terms of archetypes, I always end up playing either literal trash humans or selfless sunshine cupcakes; there is no in between. for tropes? all tropes are good tropes. betrayal in general is a great trope specifically; any form of it. if i’m not playing severus snape you can usually catch me playing peter pettigrew for that very reason.  ✧     EVENTS / TASKS : I love events where your character gets thrown into a situation with people your character doesn’t typically interact with. uhhhh-- I also adore music tasks and all self-paras. although I will say that the most fun event I’ve ever experienced was in a dark academia rp I was part of, like, two years ago, where we were put into an escape-room situation? we had to be collaborative and work together on discord to solve puzzles based on clues. and we were in teams, so not everyone was working on the same puzzle, and we could only get into the other channels to observe once we solved our own mystery. it was wild, I have no idea how the admins managed the planning of that event. I stress myself out just thinking about it.  ✧     FACES : hale appleman, saoirse ronan, rami malek, dane dehaan, kiko mizuhara, golshifteh farahani. I’m always drawn to those faces in particular.

✧     BOOK / FILM : okay pls forgive me because I really want to be like “fuck the white male literary canon" and all that but also moby-dick by herman melville is the piece of literature that speaks to my soul like no other. i’m obsessed. uh also big into v.e. schwab’s villains series as well as a darker shade of magic, and m.l. rio’s if we were villains because i’m shakespeare trash. favorite film? sgt. pepper’s lonely hearts club band, starring peter frampton and the bee-gees (1978). ✧     SONG / ARTIST : I love too many songs to choose, so in lieu of that, here’s a short list of the songs currently topping my “on repeat” spotify playlist: better in the morning (birdtalker); hard of hearing (radical face); spirit cold (tall heights); agnes (glass animals); karma (marina).  ✧     SNACK : ritz crackers straight from the sleeve. ✧     FANDOM(S) : harry potter (obviously). the magicians, though let’s not talk about the most recent season finale. uhhh, the shakespeare fandom as well, I suppose. and, like, going super old-school here, but buffy the vampire slayer.
