1. What draws you to a character/compels you to play them?
2. RP Holy Grail?
3. Character you want to play but don't have the time (whether it's bringing back an oldie or testing out a new one)

1. honestly this is a multi-stage process. first i have to get invested enough in a series (which is the easiest part tbh), and then it's usually a question of "are there muses i would want to write against from here?" if the question is yes then it usually jumps to "what fucked up weirdo is going to provide interesting and troubling dynamics"

which usually breaks down into: is there a hot feral side villain? is there an emotionally constipated and endlessly noble Hero type? is there a mean lesbian (tm)? is there an exhausted Adult in Room? or some combination there of

it's funny jjk gave me major brainworms, as noted, to the point that when i finished s1 the first journal i actually made was gojo

before immediately realizing "oh this is the wrong kind of fucked up lil guy"

that one did not click at all

2. god what even is my holy grail. i am not sure.

i think there are a few things that even though i believe everyone i have friended on here i met through decadent smut rp i'm still like, nah, [redacted], too much

on a slightly less embarrassing level i do think cute poly cohabitation would be fun to write... but hard to juggle. at least i can live safe in the smut game sphere where a certain level of nonmongamy is inherent

3. periodically i do throw other muses at memes so i'm not sure i have anyone that hard jumps out at me right now

that being said if i was ever going to bring a third/replacement character to GP (i won't i do not have the bandwidth) right now it would be ichigo

my dumb strawberry

i want to write semi-wholesome tsunboy shit!!!

berryships!!!

it would also perhaps be fun to play akira/joker from p5 more but for obvious reasons i could never actually play him in a game or on more than a casual level

i just love so many of the p5 dynamics it's not my fault i've been using this internet handle for so long.........

nods sagely

i also did admittedly quite enjoy fire force and i've been tempted to pick someone up from that ever since i watched it a few months ago but i'm not sure i've ever seen another one on dwrp so perhaps there is no demand

me when there's a buff emotionally closed off powerhouse who lounges sluttily in an onsen

4. Who would you say are your biggest writing influences

man, that is a good question....

honestly i do always have to throw back to stephen king who i have read A Lot of, including On Writing more than once. i am not actually sure how much the influence shines through tho since i also listen to his advice like "use less adverbs" and say "try and stop me old man"

i think neil gaiman and american gods especially was pretty transformative. i've leant on jim butcher especially when writing urban fantasy.

also from the weeb side i do think that honestly kubo tite and hiromu arakawa did some things to how i write at the very least.... for better or worse

[HANDSHAKE] HIROMU ARAKAWA SENSEI

she's so Good

honestly i mostly just hope that how arakawa writes has rubbed off on me because it's fantastic and i want some of that energy
