@Cosmo honestly, text-based RP that isn't homestuck doesn't hit the same for me. fuck, it hits WORSE. ive spent like 3ish years RPing in ttrpg westmarch discord servers and yeah theyre their own kind of fun but its 90% low stakes fluff that doesnt actually go anywhere with characters that feel flat. the best (and worst but shh) characters ive ever cooked up have been for homestuck RPs. im RPing as a purpleblood mime called Jorikk right now who's "typing quirk" is that they cant use any sort of word or make any sort of sound. they gotta rely just on emojis and unicode symbols in text to make pictograms to get messages across, and in-person they gotta use gestures n shit. you cant do whacky shit like this in other mediums and settings.
