Sad rich characters

[uglierpt-deactivated20160812]

When a writer wants to make a rich person sad, they usually do it in one of two ways: either the character’s parents are dead or the character’s parents give them money instead of affection. There are so many other ways to make rich people sad, and it would be nice to see them explored once in a while.

Depression can hit any income bracket, and the character can think they should be happy because of all their money and feel even worse.

The character can be so focused on maintaining their high-level job that they don’t have time to be happy. Bonus points if people close to the rich character pressure them to stay that way.

The character can be surrounded by people who are only nice to them in order to get to the money. This works best if the rich character knows it but can’t figure out another way to get the human interaction they need.

Dead people who aren’t parents – siblings, children, romantic partners, best friends.

A pampered, sheltered life can lead to an appalling lack of social skills that can leave the rich character friendless. This can work for both good and evil rich characters.

Rich people can afford more expensive drug habits.

young-and-juiceless:

Can I just say that I live for subtle touches….hands swiping against each other, arms grazing, knees press against each other, cheeks brushing, “accidental” thigh swipes.  I just love the subtlety behind pushing comfort boundaries while both of yall pretend like you don’t notice. It’s really the simple things in life.

okay but imagine a “you’re a prostitute that i hired because i’ve been feeling lonely as fuck and my life is kind of spiraling but as soon as you started seducing me it felt kind of wrong so i tried to talk to you instead and you thought i was cute and humored me since i was charged by the hour anyway and now it’s a few nights later and i’ve found you in some bar so i pay you to hang out with me again” au??????????

Person B knowing they’re undoubtedly about to die within the next few seconds, likely from the gaping wound they’re bleeding out from. Instead of calling for help, they phone Person A and carry on a casual conversation as if nothing is wrong, making sure to mention how much they love them before their time runs out.

To my writing partners

This thankfully hasn’t really come up yet but I wanted to throw up a quick reminder to all of you that there is never any need to feel embarrassed, foolish, or “silly” for reacting strongly to a certain subject. 

If we are roleplaying something dark/sensitive/nsfw, which I may do because I like to cover a lot of subjects in my writing, please, please remember that you can back out at any time. Even if we are in the middle of writing the scene. Even if we’ve planned the scene way in advance. Maybe you thought you could handle a violent scene, but then when the moment actually came, it just really got to you. That’s ok. We’ll stop.

Your comfort is always more important to me than the story. 

We can time-skip the scene. We can do a different thread entirely, if that’s what you feel like you need. Communication is key to any relationship, and that includes between RP partners. 

On that note, if you read my roleplays and I haven’t tagged something that triggers you, please just send me a message. Even if it’s on anon. I’ll gladly make a new tag for it. 

Stay safe and have fun, buddies.

no offense but enemies to lovers is a much more interesting trope than friends to lovers imo

[rebeccabreeds]

childhood best friends slash roommates who get immensely drunk one night and have sex and then just continue to keep doing it because that’s the only way they think they can have each other. spoiler: they’re both in love with each other and have been for years, but don’t wanna say shit about it because they’re afraid of losing each other. cue angst.

[rainiestmood-blog]

gimme a plot where … basically, muse a is this corrupted soul, always drinking too much, getting too high, they can barely function and muse b is basically their saving grace, always coming through in the middle of the night after a drunken phone call asking for a ride home. and muse b only does this because they’re a good person at heart, but they can’t deny that muse a’s actions actually disgusts them. but they’ve known each other for too long and muse b always promised they’d never let muse a down, because they know they’re the only thing that’s STABLE in their life. and this has become their routine, muse a texting/calling muse b when something goes wrong and muse b coming around to rescue them. there’s not much to their friendship beside that, these days, because muse a doesn’t really acknowledge them otherwise. and muse b just settles with the fact that they’re being used, but they can’t bear to leave muse a alone, knowing that they probably wouldn’t survive without them … but then ONE NIGHT, when muse b is carrying muse a into bed, tucking them in like they usually do and they’re about ready to say goodnight until muse a, who is completely out of their mind intoxicated, mumbles something barely audible that sounds a lot like ‘i love you.’ muse b thinks to brush it off, until muse a continues professing all these FEELINGS like ‘i really fucking love you, please, don’t leave me tonight’ and muse b is just STUCK. because muse a is so bad for them but muse b is the only good thing in their life … so they stay.

WRITING TOGETHER IS A PARTNERSHIP - AKA DON’T MAKE YOUR PARTNER CARRY THREADS ON THEIR OWN.

I have received several messages about tricks to writing and if there are any key POINTS to being a GOOD writer. Good, as a term is subjective of course, changes from one person to the other. Though WRITING does have certain tricks to it to look more appealing to the reader, and in our case, being a ‘GOOD WRITING PARTNER’ is more about making things easier for the people you share your hobby with more than the actual style of your writing. So what is this that I am talking about?

Of course, there are many tips to write things that are more readable, to have your writing flow better, if you will. But this is more about giving your partner things they can actually work on, aka the CONTENT of your writing. Carefully chosen words, poetic approaches, styling etc. etc. sure have their effect on making a piece of writing a joy to read, though it does not mean your reply is not STALE. If the content is lost within words, no matter how beautiful it may be to read your writing, it will LOSE points of actual action and thus will be DRY, and a HARD reply.

Don’t have your muse only mentally react, especially for longer threads which usually consists mostly of muses’ train of thoughts, environmental and emotional exploration, pen-portraiting of expressions and so on, it is important to CREATE action rather than ONLY give reaction. Be it physical or verbal, big or tiny, drop at least a line of MOVEMENT without any IMPACT. Your partner will have a chance to EXPAND/CHANGE/FURTHER-EXPLORE the current situation if you too put in the effort of creativity. Don’t leave your reply at EXPLAINING feelings/thoughts/etc, make sure it takes body somehow. Read your reply as if it is someone else’s and given to you, see if you can build a picture over it, find points to WORK & turn into material for yourself.

Carrying threads alone is truly tiring, and even boring at points, and usually causes writers to feel COLDER towards their threads. Keep in mind that it’s back and forth, action reaction, and that even the smallest line that can be worked on for the sake of furthering storyline is a huge gift to your partner and thus to you. Have fun waffles!

Please reblog if you are okay with random starters, pre-established relationships and responses to ask memes. I need some new people to bug with starters & what nots.

one of the best rp feelings in the world is when someone makes a tag for ur char/ship its like youve earned a little place with them and their portrayal of their character whether its an oc or canon and its so pure and good

[aizeos]

PSA;

If your muse wants to hit mine - do it. If your muse wants to yell at mine - do it. If your muse wants to kiss mine - do it. Never hold anything back. As long as you don’t kill my muse, anything goes. Never hold anything back with me. Because I won’t with you.

i love angry characters 

i love characters who are open and vocal about their anger– whether it is directed at a toxic system, person, or at an event or circumstance unique to them 

i love angry characters because i am sick of anger being seen as something that is uncouth and something that should be restrained, kept quiet, never acted upon 

i love angry characters because i am angry, and anger isn’t always rational, but it is real and deserves to be acknowledged –people and characters should have the right to be loud and angry and for it to not constantly be shown in a negative light 

[jaderpt]

Y’all. I need an ‘I’ve got no where to live, so I went to a fancy hotel pretending I’m rich & fancy AF, and pretended to be your wife in order to get the key to your room. But please don’t yell and kick me out when you see me laying in your bed with your robe on while watching pay per view on the TV and eating the mini bar snacks. But wait, this works out in your favor? Now I have to actually pretend to be your wife so your crazy mother will get off your back about marriage? As long as I get to keep all the clothes you buy me’ plot.

[colinarthurgeoffrey]

give me a broken, self-loathing man who firmly believes no one could ever love him and a strong-willed woman who doesn’t take any of his shit and gradually becomes his light and hope and sun and stars and i assure you i will ship it til my dying breath
