Welcome, curious reader ﹢﹒ᶻ
take a seat, I'll bring you some tea

Nice to meet you all, I'm pretty new to forums or to being active on websites in general, so please have mercy on me while I get used to the interface, haha.
You can call me Mint or Light. I write, draw, and roleplay as a creative hobby. I'm 20 and non-binary; I'm indifferent about my pronouns, so he/she works for me both. I work and study, and I like to read a bit of every topic to learn about; from science like marine biology, space, physics, history, mythology, movies, music, art, tv series, podcasts, manga, novels—even a bit of philosophy or esotericism, approached with respect and curiosity; for example, I do enjoy tarot and astrology.

Roleplaying is a creative hobby I love and want to get back into as an artist, writer, and fan content enthusiast. I consider myself patient and respectful of others' schedules, and understand work, studies, or social battery levels can affect availability, so I never pressure anyone for replies—though I might check in once if there's a couple months lasting absence. If you need breaks or lack inspiration just say so; it's ok. There's no drama if you lose interest, either; life goes on, and it doesn't affect our chill off-rol vibe.


Boundaries and Style
To start things off, I share some details and boundaries regarding my roleplay style so we can get along and be aware of our similarities when it comes to developing storylines, negotiating plot points, and so on. Mutual respect is key: I prioritize comfort and strive to treat friends and new acquaintances as well as possible. I want to emphasize the importance of communication—even if it seems basic or tedious at the start, it's vital. I'm open to ooc talk and friendships, but respect privacy. If you prefer to remain anonymous and keep things at distance, that is perfectly valid, I'll respect that, provided you let me know from the start. I value your time outside the game; I understand life happens. Please, always prioritize your mental health, mood and real-life activities.

I can engage with psychological narratives, complex character analyses, fictional battles and arguments, and deep, long-form dynamics—always with respect and a clear distinction between fiction and reality. If anything causes discomfort, it can be communicated and adjusted, or set as a boundary and respected.
English isn't my native language. My grammar and flow might be imperfect at times, but rest assured that I check dictionaries or use Google Translate to correct and improve myself.
I draw—though work and university have limited my time for it lately—and I have reference sketches for some of my original characters. I also occasionally doodle our characters in scenes from the roleplay or make memes just for fun. If you're okay with that, just let me know.
My non-negotiables: I don't roleplay or romanticize elements such as non-consensual acts, shota/loli, pedophilia, rough bestiality, necrophilia, bathroom fetishes, furry, zoophilia, or content that incites real-world topics on hate, discrimination, and violence. Kind of the basics normative on this point I guess. I'm not someone who judges kinks or people who write tropes I don't. But I like to make this clear from the start so you know whether we're compatible or if you'd rather pass.

Preferences
I try not to be too picky about my preferences, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't have any, so here are a few:


  1. My roleplays ranging from semi-novella to novella length. So it would be lovely if you like that style and write it too.
  2. I have a variety of characters with different temperaments, personalities, cultures, and forms of expression—including LGBTQ+ representation, neurodivergence, diverse backgrounds, and so on. So, I'm also happy to read about your OCs and all the details that make them unique! I'll just add that I don't roleplay scenarios involving underage characters and nsfw themes. My roleplay partners must be 18+ as well.
  3. Smut or NSFW themes are fine, though they aren't my main focus; I'm more drawn to chemistry involving tension, push-and-pull dynamics, flirting, and occasional mind games. Ideally, I prefer a plot-to-smut ratio of around 70/30. I have variety in my oc's preferences—dom tops, sub tops, switches, vers, dom bottoms, sub bottoms, romance or/and sexual indifferent, etc—but the ones I'll be introducing here first are bottom preference lean, cause tbh I'm a bit tired right now of roleplaying tops always lmao.
  4. When I let my creativity flow, if I enjoy a lot the dynamic and have some free time, I usually make playlists, sketches, edits, moodboards, and that kind of thing. You don't have to do the same if you don't want to, though—no pressure. Just let me know if you portrait your ocs with some features with picrews, moodboards, character sheet or your favorite method for introducing and describing them— Please, just not IA, I'm not a big fan of it.
  5. Some atmospheres I enjoy working with:
    SFW:
    Slice of Life, Romantic Comedy, Fluff, A bit of Hurt/Comfort, Light Fantasy, Hopecore, Road Trip, Adventure, Light Historical Fiction.
    NSFW: Historical Fiction, Mystery, Detectives and Criminals, Police Procedural, Thriller, Psychological, Angst, Acid Comedy, Horror, Action, Drama.

    Plots and Dynamics
    Here are some tropes and story ideas I'd love to explore. I can work whit whatever Muse A or B in any case, just looking for someone creative to make brainstorms whit this concepts, maybe adapt base ocs and have fun whit the choosen romantic dynamic, but reminder again, I'll bring for these my bottom leaning ocs, so I'll be glad if get the other part enjoy playing top-leaning characters (both service/sub or dom are okay, I can work whit any vibe there)
Artist and Muse
Muse A
is a musician, painter, or sculptor who has lost their spark. Years have passed since they created anything that mattered. The emptiness is so familiar it no longer hurts—it just sits there, like an empty room they've forgotten how to fill.
Muse B is a stranger who walks into their life unannounced. Something about their presence ignites what A thought was dead. It's not love at first—it's artistic necessity. They need to capture them on canvas, in notes, in words. They need to understand what makes them different. Eventually, B notices the fixation. And instead of running, they stay. Because being someone's obsession is the first time they've felt seen.

Tropes: Artist x Muse, Creative Obsession, "I need you to create", Unhealthy Devotion, The Watcher & The Watched

Hunter and Prey
Muse A
is a vampire, werewolf, demon or a dangerous creature who has spent centuries running from what they are. They don't want to hurt anyone or maybe they do but are tired of the work that involvs. They've built a quiet, solitary life—until someone starts hunting them. Muse B is a monster hunter who has been tracking them for a request job. When they finally corner their prey, they expect a fight—but instead find someone who apologizes for existing. Someone who asks, "Are you going to make it quick?" in a sarcastic, tired tone. The hunter can't bring themselves to kill them. Instead, they become their reluctant protector or end in some kind of pact/challenge.

Tropes: Hunter x Prey, Devotion, "I was supposed to kill you but I can't stop thinking about you", Monster Who Doesn't Want to Be One


Demon and Desesperate Human
Muse A
is a human who has hit rock bottom. They have nothing left to lose. So they summon a demon to make a deal—their soul in exchange for something they can't get on their own. Muse B is the demon. Ancient or younger, you preference there, but the point: they're bored and hungry... They've made thousands of deals before—souls are nothing special. But there's something about this human. Something that makes them want to... wait. Watch. Stay. The demon doesn't take their soul. Instead, they wait for the pact conditions, and in the process they fall in love with the human they were supposed to consume.

Tropes: Demon x Human, Forbidden Romance, Devotion

Academy Rivals
Muse A
is a scholarship student at a prestigious university. They work twice as hard as everyone else and still feel like they don't belong. They're quiet, intense, full of resentment. Muse B is a rich, arrogant, effortlessly brilliant student. The golden child of the university. They've never had to fight for anything—and it shows. They're assigned as research partners. They hate each other. And then, in the depths of the archives, surrounded by old books and secrets, they realize they don't hate each other at all.

Tropes: Academic Rivals, Enemies to Lovers, Forced Proximity, "I hate you but I can't stop thinking about you"

Detective and Ghost
Muse A
is a detective, a profiler, a journalist—someone who has been tracking a mysterious figure for months. They're obsessed. They've dedicated their life to catching this person. Muse B is the figure they've been hunting. A serial killer, a vigilante, a ghost. Someone who leaves art instead of bodies. Someone who has been watching the detective for just as long. The hunter and the hunted meet. And instead of violence, there's recognition. The hunter no longer wants to catch them—they want to understand them. And the hunted wants to be understood.

Tropes: Cat and Mouse, Mutual Obsession, Dark Romance, "I should hate you but I don't"

Supernatural Neighbor
Muse A
is a witc/wizard, werewolf, ghost, vampire—something supernatural living quietly in a mundane neighborhood. They keep to themselves. They don't cause trouble. Muse B is their new neighbor. A human who, for some reason, isn't afraid of them. Who notices the strange things and instead of fleeing, finds them interesting. Who slowly, steadily, becomes the first person A has let in in years.
There's a reason B isn't afraid. There's a reason they feel drawn to A. And it's not as simple as love.
Tropes: Urban Fantasy, Neighbors to Lovers, Supernatural x Human, Found Family, Hurt/Comfort

Arranged Marriage
Muse A
is a noble, a prince/princess, a warrior—someone raised as a political pawn. They're bitter, angry, and determined to survive the marriage they never wanted. Muse B is their future spouse. A foreign noble, a rival family member, a conquering general—someone who also didn't ask for this. But instead of being cruel, they're... strange. They treat A as a partner, not a prisoner. Resentment turns to curiosity. Curiosity turns to trust. And trust, in a world of politics and danger, is the most dangerous thing of all.

Tropes: Forced Proximity, Arranged Marriage, Enemies to Lovers, Political Intrigue, Slow Burn

Childhood friend who returns
Muse A
lived in the same neighborhood as children, but moved away suddenly and lost touch with their best friend. Now, years later, they're back. They've changed—quieter, more wounded, less willing to trust. Muse B never forgot them. They've waited all these years. When A returns, B is there, open and ready to reconnect—even though A no longer knows how to be that person.

Tropes: Childhood Friends, Reunion, "You're still the same person I knew", Second Chances, Unconditional Acceptance

Underdog and The Favorite
Muse A
has always been second best. Always in the shadow of someone brighter, more charismatic, more loved. They've learned to live with it—or so they think. Muse B is the favorite. The one who always wins, never doubts, seems to have it all. But there's a reason they don't get along. A history neither of them has fully moved past.

Tropes: Rivalry, Enemies to Lovers, "You've always been better than me at everything—except this", Emotional Competition

Doctor and Patient
Muse A
is a doctor who is exhausted. They've seen too many deaths, lost too many patients. They don't know why they keep doing this anymore. They're empty. Muse B is a patient who shouldn't be alive. A rare disease, an accident, something that left them on the edge of death. And when A saves them for the first time, something ignites... The doctor doesn't know if it's professional devotion or something more. But every time the patient walks into their office, the world feels a little less grey.

Tropes: Doctor x Patient, Angst, Silent Devotion, Hurt/Comfort


Forgotten Sacrifice
Muse A
is an ancient god, long forgotten by humanity, who has lost most of their power. Their temple lies in ruins, their name erased from memory, their existence reduced to a whisper in texts no one reads anymore. They have been waiting—for what, they aren't sure. Perhaps for death. Perhaps for someone to remember. Muse B is an archaeologist, a scholar, or a priest who stumbles upon the forgotten temple by accident. They didn't come looking for a god—they came looking for history. But when they step inside, something shifts. The air thickens. The silence becomes heavy. And without knowing it, Muse B becomes the god's only tether to the mortal world.

The god needs Muse B's warmth—their presence, their belief, their devotion—to regain their strength. But the price of being a god's anchor is higher than either of them anticipates. Every prayer, every touch, every moment of connection drains something from Muse B in ways they don't understand. And the god, who has been alone for centuries, begins to realize they don't want to let go.

Tropes: God x Mortal, Forbidden Devotion, "You're the only one who remembers me", Sacrifice, Slow Burn, "I would let the world burn for you" Gothic romance, dark fantasy, religious symbolism, devotion, "I was forgotten until you found me"

The Mortal Who Doesn't Fear
Muse A
is a god of war or death, feared by every mortal who knows their name. They are worshipped out of terror, prayed to for mercy, and avoided at all costs. They have never known anything but fear and reverence—never been touched without trembling hands, never been spoken to without a wavering voice. Muse B is a human who, for reasons even they don't fully understand, feels no fear. They approach the god's altar not with offerings of blood or gold, but with simple things: bread, flowers, stories from their day. They don't ask for favors. They don't beg for mercy. They just... visit.

The god doesn't know how to process it. They have been worshipped, feared, adored from a distance—but never simply kept company. Muse B stays, even when the god tries to frighten them away. And slowly, the god of war and death begins to feel something they never expected: longing.

Tropes: God x Mortal, Devotion Without Worship, "I don't fear you—I see you", Unexpected Softness, "You're the first person who ever stayed", Mythological romance, soft darkness, found comfort, "I am terrifying but you bring me flowers", slow burn, devotion


A note on mythology & culture: All hooks and ocs are original creations. If we ever include elements from real-world cultures or mythologies, I'll approach them with respect and do proper research. I'm always happy to learn—and to be corrected if I get something wrong. Our stories will always be built on mutual creativity and respect :)

Office Romance (omegaverse)
Muse A
is the CEO's son, an alpha who has grown up surrounded by people who always want something from him—favors, influence, his approval. When his father sends him to a struggling branch office to "straighten it out," he arrives prepared for fake smiles and flattery disguised as cooperation. But in that grey, noisy office, there's one employee who doesn't even seem to notice him. Muse B is an omega in accounting who treats him with the same neutral courtesy they give everyone else—neither more nor less. They offer him a pen when his runs out of ink. A glass of water when they notice his throat is dry. They don't ask for anything in return. They don't seek his attention. And that, for Muse A, is more disconcerting than any attempt at manipulation.

Muse B has spent most of their adult life trying to go unnoticed. Their scent is soft, their presence is quiet, and their routine is impeccably boring. They don't want a partner, they don't want drama, and they definitely don't want to catch the CEO's son's attention. But when Muse A arrives at the office, Muse B notices something the others seem to ignore: behind the confident, professional facade, there's an alpha who is dealing with more than quarterly reports. And though Muse B tries to keep their distance, there's something in the way Muse A looks at them—like they're trying to solve a puzzle—that makes their heart race without permission.

Narrative Hook: He just wanted to go unnoticed. He just wanted to do his job. But between reports and empty hallways, the silence between them begins to fill with something neither of them knows how to name. Alpha x Omega, Office Romance, Slow Burn, "I don't want your attention—I just want to do my job", Unspoken Tension, "You're the only one who doesn't want something from me"

Vibe Inspo: Cherry Magic (slow tension, mutual discovery, office setting), soft romcom, slice of life, light Omegaverse, slow burn, workplace secrets, romantic tension
