Gryphrp - RP Hub

I've never actually done RP in FFXIV but one of the things I really loved from the RP community was how people would add "RP hooks" to their character profiles. Exactly what you would expect, just a list of things that would serve as a good jumping off point for people who wanted to RP with that character and it's such a great idea I'm surprised it isn't more widespread in RP communities in general.

I am actually so serious I think it really messes with a childs creativity and joy to tell them to never make a mary sue OC. Like that unbridaled form of joy where you make a self insert OC who super cool and everyone loves them and they have every superpower in the world SHOULD be something a kid makes, it nourishes their ability to create things for fun and not be stifled by "oh but what if my character is too overpowered and cringey...". whatever

Hey, can y’all rb this if it’s okay to send you messages asking about your ocs, cause on god I wanna interact with y’all but I am terrified of being annoying lol

i love u characters who are victims who don't show things in a way that's appealing i love u characters whos trauma leaves them with anger issues, with violence issues, with issues with connection and trust and being truthful i love you characters who don't get "better" in a way that's palatable, who don't find growth and meaning in their trauma

Not soulmates but it always had to be them and they weren't destined to be together but they were doomed to be but also it took everything for them to get here and also it was never supposed to happen but also it always was and had to happen this way. Hope this helps

“I can choose not to use it.  The orc has a high Strength, that doesn’t mean he HAS to be lifting things all the time.”

Hey there, it's been a while.

I am really at a loss for direction or how to jump back into things, but I miss writing, and I miss all the really neat OCs I got to write with.

For now I'll probably lurk and look for ask memes to reblog. If you have me on discord, feel free to tag me if you're interested in interaction!

me explaining my worlds/stories/OCs after internalizing them for so long

One of my favorite things is when a character does or says something nice and they’re like “don’t tell anyone about this, I have a reputation” it’s so funny they’re literally like I’m okay with being nice but I draw the line at other people knowing that I’m nice
