oh yeah, this is a thread for rp stories, huh. i got one.

so like 7 years ago, my homestuck rp friend group did a gigantic session comprised entirely of lords and muses, one lord per aspect and one muse per aspect (though two separate sessions that were connected via paradox space bullshit, one for lords and one for muses). so thats 12 lords, 12 muses, for a total of 24 people. it was about as fucked as it sounds.

on one end you had the Lords session that speedran sburb so quickly that it took us one whole real week before it devolved into an endless sandbox of absurdist fluff and a chain of dumb stupid arguments between teenagers. people* started doing horrorterror rp on the side, i think there was an in-character wedding event, and i feel like someone made dream bubbles for some reason because that implies theres any timeline where a session of 12 lords could die. it was genuinely complete pandaemonium. im 90% sure the events of that RP were the precursor to what made me realise i was trans and i only reached that conclusion LAST MONTH. it ultimately imploded because everyone was too busy rping and getting into OOC drama to actually finish SBURB and create a new universe.

and then on the total end of the spectrum, the Muse session was SO PASSIVE that they literally got nothing done. it ultimately imploded because... well, yknow, absolutely NOTHING HAPPENED. it got so bad that the muse players who were let down that their session didn't go anywere started creating horrorterror and dream bubble characters just to try and get a taste of the RP they'd missed.

it was the worst 10/10 experience ive ever had, and a cautionary tale that sticks with me to this day: dont fuckin try this, it sucks so bad lmao
