hey there, i'm C! i'm 30, NB (he/they). i've got a few concepts i'm primarily focused on working with (will list towards the end), but for those interested in pitching other plots or wanting to gauge compatibility, here's the nitty-gritty of what i'm looking for!
✧✶ what i'm looking for ✶✧
- M/M slow burn (AMAB non-binary is also more than okay.)
- more story-driven vs romance focused
- age 24+ preferably
- open to writing with anyone of any gender
i average between 300 - 600 words for standard responses, often stretching beyond 1k for starters or transitionary replies.but note, i don't believe in forcing strict word count standards for the sake of it. quality > quantity, and often, less is more. the "lit", "adv. lit", "semi-lit", and "novella" categorizations are hard to gauge; please just let me know your standard word count or send me examples instead!
lowercase speak is strictly done OOC and is not reflective of the quality of my writing.
✧✶ interested in ✶✧
- worldbuilding and travel elements
- adventure fantasy
- circus
- fae creatures
- supernatural elements
- surrealistic themes
- fantasy slice of life
- victorian settings
- ethereal concepts
- 90/10, plot:smut ratio
- androgynous characters preferred.
for high fantasy, i enjoy ethereal concepts that are almost entirely severed from reality, and would likely require a lot of worldbuilding and patience. character designs are often very androgynous for this category. i provide my own drawn references (stylized realism). since the topic of DnD comes up a bit, i am entirely unfamiliar with it (though not unwilling to work with similar elements to it, just offer some patience.) i am open to darker themes and have no notable triggers.
✧✶ not looking for ✶✧
- war-centric or overly violent plots
- absolutely zero AI reference images.
- smut-centric roleplay (if this is your primary goal, i'm not for you.)
- steampunk/cyberpunk
- please no medieval royalty (both separately is fine, i'm just a lil exhausted of prince/knight and similar dynamics currently)
- and please no anime inspired plots.

1. the celestial metropolis.
summary: a utopian city built atop the caverns of a once thriving society, now forced to work below the city to mine for precious opal used to fuel the world above. inspired by metropolis (1927).
my character
a celestial being, born as a part of the ruling class for the city above. though knowing of the mining city below, he is not well-informed of conditions, and is generally naïve.
your character
an outraged worker from the city below, who forms a surprising alliance with my character, unfolding long told tales passed of the world as it was before — a history long forgotten.
general themes
⭒ adventure/travel
⭒ celestial themes
⭒ diverse landscapes and species of humanoids/animals
⭒ uprising
⭒ topics of mistreatment and harm
my character is a man born of the stars and a child of the divine, leaving the world at large so beautifully at his fingertips when his bloodline is revered and worshiped throughout the close-knit star system. the kingdom in which he lives is perched atop the highest point of the world: a crystalline castle with clouds wisped between its spires like rivers, of which reach so tall, some say it touches the foot of the heavens themselves.
but this planet hadn't always been his, having spent his childhood on their ruling star quite some distance away, before colonizing these lands — supposed saviors of this dying world — and it soon shows its terrible, terrible irony.
there's little known about the population that live below the heart of the kingdom, notorious hermits that have existed beneath the soil long before it had been colonized, finding peace in the caverns, for it had a wonderful glow of its own, a multi-colored wonder. that was the heart of the world that lit those deep, dark caverns, you see— lit aglow by the shifting, fractal light of the native opal, of which each color controls different facets of this exuberant world: green sustained the native flora, while blue kept the waters pure, and pink assured the local animals were satiated and well-fed, while orange fueled the much needed flame.
but white... it's the most abundant color which drives the very light itself, lending the planet its famous glow to be seen from incredible distances. as such, it is the most abused.
but the kingdom above needs the light, needs that ego-driven display of divinity as they fracture the heart of the planet — its precious opal — into splintered bits.
ignorance is bliss, however, and the divine intruders reel in the love born from their majestic glow: the prayers and worship, the places of worship and holidays created to honor they who colonized the lands. what they do not know about the injured opal will not hurt them, but what happens when the final fracture renders the heart dead? when the light of the world swallows to black, the plants wither, and the life that once was is left to suffocate?
the fragile state of the world isn't a new concept for those in the caverns, killing themselves bit by bit with every swing of the pickaxe, funneling the white, refracted light to the crystalline city, while they are left to slowly die alongside.
your character becomes outspoken, speaking of revolt and riot, so much so that it catches the attention of those of highest ruling, and sparks the initial seed in my character's head that things might not be quite as it seemed.
unfolding throughout, we learn more of the world as it was before, unweaving a soon-to-be-forgotten history as our characters traverse the lands in hopes of mending the fractures that have begun to spin out of anyone's control. whether it be fetching totems or otherwise, i'd love to travel to other anchor points of the world as a means to explore diverse lands and people.
you are free to create your own lore for your people! we can collaborate on it where you'd like to, but otherwise, you have full reign to do as you need to best suit your part of the storyline.

2. lost and roaming creatures, oh my!
summary: a world overrun by lost and roaming monsters. they're well-meaning and mostly harmless, but have become a great nuisance to the locals. this includes some absurd run-ins with clumsy creatures and TV adverts offering products such as 'ghost-be-gone!'.
when a mysterious portal opens in town, it is safe to say they are far from prepared for the clumsy little creatures that stumble through, soon becoming a home for the wandering, aimless monsters that travel through. it's been years now, and a population more monster than man. as they have yet to come any closer to solving the pesky little problem of the open doorway in the center of town, they make do and build their lives around them.
the proposed 'solutions' are quite absurd: partnering ghosts to work a local coffee chain, only to end with lines out the door as their hands simple move through the cups they're trying to serve; ogres are hired for roadway construction, to then be immediately pulled when they find they're a little too overzealous with their tools; abnormally sized frogs being used in place of school buses, shaking the grounds wildly at too, too early of an hour, and leaving the local children unfortunately grimy. the townsfolk are at their wits end, tired of the newspaper adverts for newly tested repellants, or getting tricked by the local fae. something has got to give, but when? and how?
my character
boston has just about had it with the local monsters that have flooded town, only made worse when he can't seem to keep them from wandering into his home, either. there is only so much 'ghost-be-gone!' or protective charms he can use to keep them out, and in the process is forced to take on some unexpected roommates. boston is a simple concept, not thoroughly built, but is thought to be a local journalist or perhaps a local blogger known for sharing his unfiltered experiences with these beings, letting the world at large know his experiences, and perhaps even humanizing them a bit.
your character
i have general thoughts of maybe a monster hunter who had accidentally ripped the barrier between realms, or another unrelated person trying to solve it. a ghost hunter could also be a really fun concept, being able to sit down with some of the spirits that pass through the portal. there are so many options!
general themes
⭒ strange and clumsy beings
⭒ absurd, surrealist scenery/scenarios
⭒ generally light-hearted
⭒ inspired by halloween haunted houses
