( This Post Is Starting To Get Some Attention, So I'd Appreciate It If You'd Follow My Art Blog @katlyntheartist

do you ever think about your mutuals' ocs and go

I am 🤏 this close to setting up a new blog for one of my OCs tomorrow if I can get through a couple other priorities first

to anyone missing my writing please know i am also missing my writing

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.

general psa that i will NEVER be upset with you for taking forever/never answering something i send you 

we all have lives outside of this and muses are fickle like, i get it and i never want anyone to be afraid that i’d hold it against them like if i send you a meme and you’re not feeling it? you don’t need to answer it

if we plot something and i make a starter and you’re not feeling it anymore? that’s okay too. even if halfway through a thread it feels like it’s going nowhere so you wanna drop it? that’s 100% okay

honestly? you don’t even need to let me know you’re dropping something/not answering something like im not here to pressure you or bug you about replies and i don’t care if you’re actively writing with other people  or anything, like if you’re not interested in writing something with me i won’t take it personally

and even if you don’t want to drop something and take literal months to answer? that’s chill like me too okay

and all i ask is that you extend the same courtesy to me <3 

gryph-rp-hub -> gryphrp

because I like short and simple.

Going to work on a small update to my pinned post hopefully over the next couple days.

I love your OCs and I think you should draw/write them more

Hi there! I go by Gryph unless you already know me as something else.

I'm in my 30s and have full-time work and other hobbies and responsibilities so I cannot promise speed or consistency, but I’ll do my best to respond when I’m able to. RP is a beloved and favorite hobby of mine and I'm usually excited to meet the blorbos from your head, but I have to work around limited energy levels and time so I'm not always as active as I'd like to be.

I am generally pretty easygoing in my approach and most of my guidelines exist because otherwise I have a tendency to get confused and overthink things. I'll go into all that under the cut.

This is a hub blog to which all my RP blogs are sideblogs because I honestly can't be bothered to maintain that many accounts anymore. You don't have to follow it, but I promise not to spam your dash with irrelevant posts if you do. It's going to be kept pretty strictly to RP-related or RP blog update posts. It's super rare for me to have more than 1-2 posts a day here.

All of my RP blogs are IC/blog style, meaning treated as if the character is running their own blog, and interactions are happening online.

Said blogs ostensibly run on a real time timeline, but in practice posts may be delayed by quite a bit depending on my schedule. I may ask to handwave this if needed.

I prefer to write paragraph RP over Discord; mutuals are free to ask for it. I'm not the quickest but I'm generally better at consistency than I used to be.

I am very crossover friendly and generally open to interact with anybody in theory, but in practice I can be selective because I only have the capacity to do so much.

Everything runs on a single verse.

I prefer to interact with people who are 20 and up for the sake of everyone's comfort.

I won't follow everyone back. It's not a personal thing, I just prefer to keep my dash easy to keep up with and mostly focused on people I interact with. That said, I am not mutuals only and anyone is welcome to send asks or interact on my posts (and it's the best way to get my attention).

If you post a lot of untagged OOC and especially OOC drama I probably won't follow back at all.

If you have an idea for an in-person interaction that you're excited about writing out or just chatting about, chances are I am too! Please come to my DMs and let me know what you're thinking.

IC != OOC. Bleed (transfer of emotions between mun/muse) happens, but if you think I hate you because my character was being mean to yours I promise that's not the case. Please talk to me if something bothers you, we're all here to have fun.

I usually try to tag images that have content that a lot of people might not want to see (using the format #bugs for example), but text posts may go untagged unless I'm going into a lot of detail (an explicit description of a gory scene will be tagged #gore but an off-handed mention of it happening probably won't).

For the most part, follows coming from this blog can be treated as IC and coming from whichever blog you might be interested in interacting with. If you don't have a preference or you aren't sure, feel free to ask.

Likes are generally the same and can be treated as IC from the blog(s) it makes sense for. Again, feel free to ask if there's confusion.

I’m a huge advocate of OOC communication, and I tend to have the most fun and feel the most comfortable when we have a space for OOC conversation alongside RP. You'll never bother me if you want to ask something about one of my characters, plot with me, or if you need clarification on something. My messages are always open for those purposes.

“denied the catharsis of punishment” is an underappreciated but hugely effective narrative consequence imo
