Mobile Links: Rules

Glossary of Terms often used on the Blog:

Each of the phrases will have a link that leads to a page on the wiki.

Vacosian: Vacosians are a near-extinct natural born species of Warriors that made their home in the Ultimate Void, on planet Voidal. A majority of the race was exterminated by the God of Destruction Cerveze, however a handful managed to survive, rendering the race close to extinction. They play a cental role in the Cyverse metaseries, where it is revealed that Ruby and Blair are Vacosians who were sent to Remnant. The best way to describe a Vacosian is to think of them as Outer Gods in humanoid forms. Sometimes they have tails and horns too, but it depends from individual to individual.

Dracontine: Dracontines are a natural born species of highly adaptive warriors that were known among the earliest race to have draconic roots, if not, the earliest known trace that had direct ancestry from Primordial Dragons, before the subspecies division of draconic races had occurred. The Dracontines have been relatively under the radar for a good while after the Draconomachy, in which the total population of the Dracontines took a steep decline. However, at present time, the Dracontine race seem to sit very comfortably, with replenished populations, both in Universe 1 and 12, each residing in their own version of Planet Dracorex on both Universes.

Super Vacosian: Super Vacosian, occasionally known as Ascended Warrior, is a legendary transformation unique to the Vacosian race of both the first and 12th universes. It is the signature transformation of the Vacosians relocated to Remnant, all of whom have been able to achieve the transformation, but was famously first awakened by Ruby Rose during her battle with the evil Fall Maiden, Cinder Fall.

Explanation: It's why some muses have multiple FCs. On that note, they're not shapeshifters, but rather think of it like Super Saiyan, just changing hair & eye colors.

Universal Government/Marines: The Universal Government is an universal regime which has ruled the universe for over 5'000 years, since it was founded by an alliance of 200 different planets. It has since vastly grown in influence and now spans across more than 900 of the universe’s civilized planets.God-Key: God Key (or Grand Key/Divine Key when translated) are ten tools/weapons created by Azathoth, that when brought together, would allow entrance into her domain and ████, while granting each of the 10 wielders ██████.

Remnant Dragon Balls: The Remnant Dragon Balls are wish orbs created by the Guardian of Remnant, Kami and were later enhanced upon request by said creator after Ruby asked her for an upgrade. These balls are mainly used on Remnant and were the first type of Dragon Balls used in the metaseries. They have played a major role and impact in the series, being used by a variety of characters, including main protagonist Ruby.

Cosmology: As previously mentioned, the Cyverse is a combination of several other verses (Cthulhu Mythos, RWBY, Dragon Ball Metaseries & the SCP Loredom) with my own unique twist to them, which combines them rather well if I dare say so myself. The whole thing started as a RP Blog on tumblr, known as phantxmthief, and has gathered over 23'500 followers as of this writing. Furthermore, people seem to really love the characters in it and love to know more about the Cyverse’s primary protagonist’s life; Which is Ruby Rose and some others peeps, but without further ado, here we go!

In times of pandemic it is very difficult to maintain a relationship... not seeing your partner for a long time is hard. So I thought if you could do some headcanons of 2p allies having super romantic sex with their beloved s/o after a long, long time without seeing each other.

(Today on mun doesn’t really know how to write anything romantic 😗 I hope this is good though, I tried my best!)

2p America doesn't usually do anything super romantic but since he really missed them, he'll accept it just this once. He probably just lets them take control because he isn't sure what to do, it makes him a little uncomfortable but he mostly just cares that he's finally having sex with them again.

2p England always super romantic with them so it's not that different than usual. He'll shower them in compliments, tell them everything he loves about them, whatever he can to make sure that they know how much he loves them. He wants to be as close as possible because he missed them so much, he makes sure he's very soft with them.

2p Canada really tries to be romantic, it’s probably the only time they’ll ever hear him saying he missed them so much and he loves them. He’s a little awkward with it, it’s obvious he’s never been this open with someone, but it’s sweet, nonetheless. He will get embarrassed afterwards though, he can’t believe he said all that.

2p France isn't really sure how to actually be romantic but he tries his best. He can’t really say anything romantic so his version of being romantic is just making them cum as much as possible, the idea of romantic intimacy makes him really uncomfortable so it’s the best he can do in terms of romance.

2p China probably cried the first time he saw them again so he's completely happy to be really romantic with them. He'll even light some candles, he’ll probably burn himself but he'll try his best to make everything exactly to their liking so they can enjoy themselves and see that he really does love them.

2p Russia has read too many romance novels and you can really tell. He has no real experience with romance so it’s where he gets most of it from. There’s rose petals, lit candles, coloured lights, the whole works. He’s usually gentle with them anyway because he’s worried about breaking them but he’s even more so when he’s trying to be romantic.

Welcome to the Mansion~

Mun: RC/Rosalie/Rose - 27 - She/Her

Guests of Honor, thank you for coming! Please understand if you are a minor/NOT 18+, please DNI. This blog will have spicy content, angsty, and such that is not suitable for minors. Also, given my age, I'm not super comfy with engaging in RP with people under 18.

I'm a Lit/Semi-Para/Para style writer with an occasional one-liner/dash commentary, crack like rps for fun. You will also get a LOT of drabbles, and content of the residents of the mansion (aka the muses) interacting with one another because I love shoving them all in one place and forcing them to deal with each other, it's funny.

I'd call myself softly semi-selective. It's more like, if I feel like our rp/writing styles don't mesh well, I may not follow back and specifically seek out RPs. I'm personally someone who LOVES details, and collaboration on longer stories that can have effects that add depth to my characters. I'll accept asks/submits from anyone, but I may not always reply in the ask's replies.

I'm not private, and I'm not exclusive. I will interact with MULTIPLE VERSIONS OF DIFFERENT CHARACTERS. I love, love, LOVE, seeing other people's takes on characters, so I'm always open to multiple versions!

All RPs are different AUs/branching timelines. This is also because I'm a shipping whore who loves romance rps. It is my life blood. I will not do problematic ships such as adults x children, and such, and characters will likely be aged up in certain scenarios. If that bothers you still, even when I age up a character, I understand it is not your cup of tea! Feel free to unfollow/block, and have a wonderful day, your feelings are valid.

Lookin' for Links? Got you covered.

This is a multimuse blog!!! Please specify muses you wish to interact with!

Immediately I want to say that the most important rule to me is about Proshipping. I will not Roleplay a romantic or sexual relationship between an adult and minor. In fact, Proshippers DNI with this blog. This blog is supposed to be a safespace for everyone who comes across it and for all to enjoy, I don't want it tainted by something that'd make us all uncomfortable.

LGBT+ friendly. Another important rule, to me, is positive representation of the community and world around us. I don't tolerate hate speech towards LGBTQ+ people out of character or even in character because it makes me saddened and uncomfortable by how cruel the world can be sometimes without reason. My own representation of Afton is queer so, in other words: Transphobic People, Homophobic People DNI. While on the subject of hate speech, I also don't put up with Racists or unfair stereotypes. Racists DNI with this blog.

As far as shipping goes, I ship OC × Canon if I myself deem the OC making enough sense to be with my muse. In addition to this won't do incest ships. People who ship incest, DNI.

DNI INTERACT IF YOU ARE A MINOR.

Be kind and respectful! Please don't rush replies or badger me everyday for them as we all have lives to live beyond the world of Roleplay! Depending on muse this blog can be fast updating or slow, also please don't force opinions on others because I had this happen to me before! It's okay to disagree one hundred percent! Or to object to where an rp is heading! Just be respectful about it please! Oh and if your unsatisfied with how the rp is in general, it's okay! You can tell me and we can discontinue it or redo it! I'm 100% open minded.

I write in the literate writing style and typically try to match the length of my roleplay partner!

Mun is 21 and is named Rose!

Mun follows from @the-most-inglorious-black-hat but also runs blogs such as @thelonewarriorprince and @awinterking

Please, can you tell me more about Dae-Hyun? I will take literally anything. His favorite color, his hobbies, what flavor body wash does he use, what does he wear when he’s not butchering, please anything.

for sure !! here's a batch of dae-hyun facts

Dae-Hyun doesn't really pay much mind to a favorite color, but he does tend to have more fondness for anything white, brown, soft yellow, and pale/muted greens. he loves anything earthy when it comes to colors, something easy on the eyes. that's not to say he dislikes other colors, but heavy saturated tones can give him a slight headache.

as for body wash, he tends to pick unscented ones. working in the butcher shop can leave a copper scent linger on his skin, with something that strong, he tries to eliminate it as much as possible. unscented washes make him feel overall cleaner, while scented wash makes him feel like he's trying to cover up the smell, instead of getting rid of it. though, it's mostly in his head. his natural smell is pleasant, though mostly undetectable.

when off the clock, he wears loose-fitted, thick clothes. due to his stature and size, it's often already hard to find anything that fits him. he has to find anything in tall variants and those options are pretty limited, but he tries to pick things like pull-over sweaters, and loose pants. when he's out and about, he'll typically wear a pull-over with some chinos without pleats, and home something more like a short-sleeve henley and sweatpants.

his hobbies are pretty tame; listening to music, sewing, charcoal drawing, but he especially loves watching old korean movies and tv shows. his mom and dad would watch with him as a kid, and while he's not watching what they did back then all the time, he still has a fondness for shows and movies from the older era, especially tragic love stories. he loves the interpersonal relationships and depths from them, feeling a lot more personal than what he sees in modern shows, western or eastern.

along with these hobbies, it all links to creating something. quietly making his mark in his own world, not really even sharing it to others. he loves drawing pretty faces with smokey charcoal, it brings peace of mind. he loves the shading process especially, his lineart isn't the sharpest but he still makes overall coherent pieces with indirect ideas and feelings through his visuals. since dae-hyun is pretty stoic, and doesn't have a lot of close relationships, he uses his art to express himself. it's his outlet, that his other hobbies don't really compete with.

𖦹 Join our Discord server to get early access to art, polls, headcanons and more! 𖦹

Hey! How’s it going? I’m C, 28 years old with she/her pronouns currently in the EST timezone. I’m an avid roleplayer (been doing this way too long and don’t plan to stop anytime soon) and I’m looking for more writing partners for 1x1 roleplaying or even extending to a multi-muse universe, depending on the chemistry. A bit about my writing preferences:

Age: Need to write with people 21+ (but 25+ preferred), with muses at least 25+.

Preferred Themes: Love me some slice of life, crime/spy, period, or even university/post-grad plots. Also open to supernatural and fantasy.

Preferred Muses I Like to Play: I enjoy playing a wide range of muses of different genders (and typically prefer the same from those I write with) and love exploring nuanced characters with a bit of good and bad. That said I also love to play feral or intense muses when the plot demands it.

Preferred Pairings: F/M, M/M, F/F. For now, a preference for F/M pairings. Note that while I will I enjoy playing either F or M, I prefer writing with people who also write both sides and have the same investment/passion for each. Aka rather than thinking of it as "doubling," treating each ship with equal excitement and investment

Preferred Muses to Play Against: Similar to above! Anyone interested in muse exploration and having fun with their muses evolving!

Preferred platform: Tumblr (can leverage my existing indie rp blog) or Discord Server

Activity: Generally I reply a few times a week, ebbs and flows depending on my workload. I’m available on evenings and some parts of the weekend.

Reply Length: Medium-to-long paragraph style in 3rd person. Roughly 500-800 words a reply?

Overall, looking for excitable and passionate muns to write with as we get into holiday/winter season! I’m an avid over-communicator and no-nonsense writer that likes to keep it simple and have fun! Feel free to DM me directly here and I can share my Discord to chat. You can also find samples of my writing style on my indie here:

||Don’t you just love tumblr....||

((When it messes up your tags you have shown automatically with no problem but after a while, it suddenly stops. I hate when tumblr does that to my tags where I have to find them all over again from posts to type them in again just to show it again in the auto filler. Stop messing with my tags tumblr! Fucking damn it! DX))

Knowing Your Partner Can Make Writing Together Easier! - repost-y, no reblog-y

Name? Rose

Pronouns? She/Her

Communication Preference? Ims on here are just fine!

Muses’ Names? Kyleigh Marie Thompson (Morningstar)

Best Experience? Meeting the amazing people that I write with (and looking forward to some new ones). Getting to know new muses and new worlds!

Pet Peeves? Not reading a mun's rules or just completely ignoring them. Saying that you're OC friendly when you ignore them totally. Only using someone for their FC. People that take RP way too seriously. When you write a good, full reply and only get a few sentences in return. Getting mad when someone unfollows or blocks you (what's the point? It's their blog, they run it how they want!)

Muse Preferences? I've always written females, I just feel I'm better at it honestly.

Plotting or Winging It? Both. Or a light plot that can be expanded by winging it. Or a general idea that can go in any direction with a basic end goal.

Long or Short Replies? Either one, but more than just a few words lol

Best Time To Write? For me probably afternoon or night time. It's just quieter then, and I don't have a bunch of shit to do.

Are You Like Your Muse? We're both passionate about the people we allow to get close to us. We both curse a lot, are short and very angry about it lmao

Tagged by: @myriadxofxmuses (yesss thank you!) Tagging: All of you if you want to do it!

#☾ out of fur (ooc)#☾ (Dash Games)#☾ about the mun #☾ lmao Ky and I do not appreciate this tall ass world #☾ it's not mad for us!#☾ thank you for the tag!

Ever thought about pre-reincarnation Cheongmyeong with reader?

Way before the demonic sect even rose and gained strength. Maybe in his 20's or 30's?

Running away from his sahyung after stealing his stash of alcohol, beating up his sajils, skipping training to sleep or hide in that cave of his on the cliff.

He was so much happier and free in his first life, before he had to carry the weight of the entire sect and world on his shoulders.

Before Chung Mun took up the responsibilities of a sect leader;

Before Chung Jin left the sect;

Before Tang Bo died;

And before his beloved Senior! Reade—

ANON IM SORRY THE REST OF YOUR MESSAGE DISAPPEARED (please if you're seeing this,,, im desperate to know what's the rest.....im so sorry it's gone...) BUT YES!!! you are so smart anon you just guessed the fic im currently writing ashdfjs cheongmyeong being happy is something i would like to see too and the interactions between him and senior reader would be absolutely fluffy and adorable :')) (especially pre-reincarnation because those times were much more carefree for the both of them than the current era) just thinking about reader and pre-reincarnation!cheongmyeong laughing together without a care in the world is making me burry my head into my hands (i want them to be happy so bad) thank you for the ask!!

#iitalk #rotmhs spoilers #rotbb spoilers #tagging the spoilers tag because there are minor novel spoilers (?) in the ask

MUN my beloved

The thing is, I used to be fucking terrified of MUN. Everything about it (research, writing, teamwork, collaboration, public speaking) scared the living crap out of me. I came to my first conference with a whole folder of (largely) useless facts. I physically shook when I first rose to give a speech defending an amendment. I couldn’t eat and had to go to the bathroom four times before the committee sessions because I was so nervous. And yet, as the three-day conference went on, I got more and more confident. I stood up, debated, proposed amendments and gave speeches. I grew to love it more than anything in my life.

Here’s a quick aesthetic I curated based on MUN

A binder of perfectly organised notes on the country’s politics, socio-economic environments, geography, and current affairs

Watching documentaries about your country’s culture, taking in the unique landscape

Empty coffee cups that somehow manage to multiply on your desk

Pulling all-nighters, too eager to learn as much as you can

Crisp white shirt and fresh suit, all ready for the upcoming day

Messy handwriting, scrawling notes on the resolution of other delegates

Ink-stained fingers

Reciting your speech to yourself, having committed it to memory

Nervously cracking knuckles before your opening speech

Feeling immense pride when your resolution passes

Heated debates during unmoderated caucuses

Placard raised proudly

#model un #model united nations #aesthetic

Name: Rose

Pronouns: she/her

Preferred comms: Whatever, I've never had issues with IM's personally, so I like them. But I know no one else does lol. Discord is cool, especially when we start sending memes and shit to one another.

Name of muse(s): Hibiya and Hibiko. I've had one other muse that didn't last long, I just wanted an excuse to talk about my views and opinions on music lmao. An outlet to express that to a degree, but I just didn't have anything else I wanted to say, no overarching theme or anything.

Experience in RP: Started out the classic way of rp'ing via texts with a friend, where it was like [ "Stop doing that" *laughs* ] as Izaya from Durarara. Not terribly long after I moved to tumblr cause I was already always on it on my personal account and heavy in the durarara community in 2012, 2013, cause I wanted to write as Hibiya. And that was a blast because it started showing on Adult Swim so the anime got more popular and there were just a lot of people and alters to write with.

Stopped and started a few times, but I always wrote Hibiya publically and no one else. I think I barely wrote in 2016 cause the rp side of the fandom was DEAD and I didn't really venture out to find new partners. I had also moved countries so like, wasn't thinking about writing often. Completely stopped thinking about it in 2017 and was writing songs instead. Until after I graduated college and was working fulltime, and after all the lockdowns stopped (Toronto had multiple), I needed a new creative outlet I could work on while not home and kept thinking about Hibiya and Delic and having ideas I wanted to explore. And was very lucky to find my email and password! So now I'm like, I can't imagine leaving tumblr to write somewhere else. Privately I dunno, it's so boring.

Best experiences: It's so nice to have partners that equally gush over one another's muses and relationships, sharing ideas and potential threads and even just being like "lmao if this happened, it'd be over" / "I can't stop thinking about x."

Plus I mean to be honest, it's so, so exciting and nice to hear people excited to write with me and ask about my muses, having genuine curiosity. Asking questions I've never thought of and pushing them to be more developed and fleshed out. I love posting a reply or answering a meme and immediately getting pinged on discord of someone panicking and talking to me about it.

Pet peeves / dealbreakers: Too much ooc is the main reason I end up unfollowing people. Which like, listen, it's not like I outright say, I don't care about you. But if it's too much, even though I like you and your muses and want to write, I'm gonna mute your tag. I'd much rather someone repeatedly be like "I'll be on twitter if you care" or whatever passive-aggressive thing, than have a bunch of posts on my roleplay account that are nothing. Let me ignore it if I want to.

I've complained to the point of adding it to my rules, but I hate mains. And I honestly more and more feel like I'm making the right call in that it's very mean and you shouldn't do it. I understand feeling more drawn to some muns/muses than others, but when a mun is repeatedly answering someone's stuff immediately when you've been waiting for a reply for a month. Yeah, it's a little dog shit. There needs to be an effort to balance it out between partners.

A COUPLE ACTUAL PETTY PET PEEVES. That like, I've rewritten this a bunch of times cause I don't want to be dumb and rude even though it makes me want to be very that. I hate when muns make their muses short and are just weird about it. Like, it's obviously written from the perspective of a person that is average height, who sometimes feels short, so assumes someone shorter than them always feels short. And it's like no one thinks about their height that much, stop it. But this is absolutely me, a person who is the height of all those short muses, being like bruh stop being weird. I also hate when there is an unrealistic weight put to muses. Because it's something most people ignore, so just skip it if you're gonna be dumb about it. If you feel the need to be like, my 5'6" muse 90 pounds, think about how dysfunctional that makes a person. It's beyond the realm of "my muse is skinny." But!! Again! I know this is just me being like "your fictional character is unrealistic." People like to make their muses taller than Shaq and as buff of as wrestler, but also be like "it's natural, they would never track their calories/protein intake."

Muse preference ( fluff, angst, smut ): Of course it depends. Hibiya is fun because he's awful at being fluffy, so it's great putting him in those positions where I am also so horribly uncomfortable for him. He's always angsty. It gets a little tiring. Smut is all me though, I just get lost in thinking of the details and then I forget to write any of it and it takes forever. Practice though and I know it'll be more fun. There are at least muses now that Hibi wants to be gross with finally.

Hibiko however, is like, always bordering on fluffy, to the point that she really fights angst. Which in itself is fun because that's where most of her development comes from. Surprisingly, smut will be/is really fun for Hibiko because her walls are down, which isn't the case any other time. She also doesn't have as many preconceptions as Hibiya when it comes to sex, so it's more freeing and open for me to write.

Plot or memes: Memes are more freeing. They can be long winded ideas or just a paragraph, so that's fun. But when it comes to the long run, I need to talk about plots to some extent so we're not running aimlessly.

Long or short replies: Long. Mid, really, but I'd rather it be longer than shorter. I've learned I have a hard time tapping into what my muse is going through if I'm not seeing that in return. But short ones are a very welcomed break when they come along. It's nice to easily poop out a reply without being like oh fuck okay what happens first.

Best time to write: When I'm alone in the morning before anyone wakes up (which isn't the morning but pretend it is). I like sitting in silence and enjoying the nothing going on so I can focus. I like to watch movies by myself, and it'll take twice as long because I'll pause it to write while inspired, and watch another five minutes before pausing to write again. The way god intended, really.

Are you like your muse(s): Kinda. I relate to Hibiya more. I'm more aloof than I think I am and can be a little insensitive towards other people's feelings and my words. Emotions are not my strong suit lmao.

#it's me i decided to ramble!#ooc;#dash memes #i whine about the height thing but then also I'm like 'lol tiny bitch' to those muses #being short is only embarrassing when you gotta be like #'hello child who is clearly younger than me. i need help grabbing that item from the top shelf' at the store

Hi! Love your sonia characterisation and from your ooc posting, I see your tastes are great~ Can I ask the mun: do you have any recommendations for books or TV series? c:

Hi anon! Thank you so much for your kind words regarding my IC content and OOC ramblings, that's really nice of you to say. I'm happy to recommend some things (I admit I did a 'Stitch laughing maniacally on a pile of wreckage' when I got this ask because anon, I am not sure you know what you have asked to unleash!).

However, I wasn't sure if you were asking for recommendations for books/TV series that have directly inspired my Sonia portrayal, or recommendations of things I enjoy in general. With that in mind, I'm going to be sharing a long list of books, TV series, manga/webtoons, and story-based video games that I just happen to like.

If you're looking for media that has directly inspired my portrayal though, please send another ask and I'd be happy to narrow it down for you!

In order not to keep the dash tidy, everything is under a cut, with notes (some important, some just me making jokes) beside a few of them. I hope you find a new favorite book/series to enjoy!

Books:

General Notes: For book series where the first book title isn't the series name, I've indicated which book to start with, save for the historical romances because that's easier to find online and there's a lot of them. I hope that helps! Additionally, for all romance series, assume that there is some mention of sexual content in various degrees of description, aka. "spice." Depending on your comfort level of literary sex, I highly recommend checking out each title on https://www.romance.io/ for their spice level rating, at the very least. The site will also show you tropes found in each book as well as reviews.

Contemporary Romance:

The Time-Travelers Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

American Royals series by Katharine McGee

Crazy Rich Asians series by Kevin Kwan (way, way better than the movie! It's a trilogy, followed by China Rich Girlfriend and Rich People Problems. I'd highly recommend this if you are writing a modern wealthy character of East Asian descent. Yes it's romance, humor, and contemporary family drama, but it gives what's apparently a very accurate look at high society)

Spoiler Alert by Olivia Dade (if you are looking for contemporary romance with plus size heroines, you want to check out Olivia Dade! Also Mary Warren and for young adult romance, Kelsie Stelting)

Modern Royals series by Aven Ellis (start with A Royal Shade of Blue)

The Royal Runaway by Lindsay Emory

The Royal We by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan (and its sequel, The Heir Affair)

One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston (this was better than Red, White, and Royal Blue, IMO)

Fantasy Romance:

Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas

A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J. Maas

Crescent City series by Sarah J. Maas

A note about SJM series: I highly suggest reading TOG or ACOTAR first, with the understanding the first three or so TOG books and the first ACOTAR books have a slower pace and are more about worldbuilding than anything else. Read Crescent City after these two (CC 1 is also a big, long worldbuilding book). You must read ACOTAR to read CC, but you do not need to read TOG to read CC (though you'll miss some of the references/easter eggs!).

The Empyrean series by Rebecca Yarros (Start with Fourth Wing)

The Shepherd King duology by Rachel Gillig (Start with One Dark Window)

The All-Souls Trilogy/series by Deborah Harkness (Start with A Discovery of Witches)

Historical Romance:

Don't Want You Like a Best Friend by Emma Alban

Love by Numbers series by Sarah MacLean (start with Nine Rules to Break While Romancing a Rake. If you finish this series and like her writing, move on to the Bareknuckle Bastards series and the Rules of Scoundrels series)

Spindle Cove series by Tessa Dare (start with A Night to Surrender. If you liked this series, move on to the Castles Ever After series and the Girl Meets Duke series)

pretty much anything by Lisa Kleypas (Bridgerton fans? This is how you get over your hangover/wait between finishing the books and/or Season 3. start with the Wallflowers or the Hathaways series, then move onto the Ravenels and the Bow Street Runners series. This is mostly historically the chronological order with crossover characters between the Wallflowers and Hathaways. Bow Street Runners is chronologically before Wallflowers but it's disappointing if you read it first, trust me!)

everything by Jane Austen. Just everything.

Series/books I'm in the middle of/currently on my TBR list so I can't recommend them fully yet but I'm actively reading them:

The Folk of the Air series by Holly Black (start with The Cruel Prince)

Letters of Enchantment duology by Rebecca Ross (start with Divine Rivals)

Crowns of Nyaxia series by Carissa Broadbent (Start with The Serpent and the Wings of Night)

Hades x Persephone saga by Scarlett St. Clair (Start with A Touch of Darkness)

The Shadow and Bone trilogy by Leigh Bardugo (and Six of Crows. And everything else: I've yet to dive into Bardugo's series)

A League of Extraordinary Women series by Evie Dunmore (Start with Bringing Down the Duke)

Royals series by Rachel Hawkins (start with Prince Charming)

Infamous by Lex Croucher

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree

Deliciously Dark Fairytales series by K.F. Greene (Start with A Ruin of Roses)

TV series:

Downton Abbey (my love for this show runs deep. It changed my life!)

The Gilded Age (Carrie Coon deserves an Emmy for this at some point I s2g)

The Crown (Claire Foy is the best QEII, Elizabeth Debicki is the best Diana, Josh O'Connor is the best Charles)

Gossip Girl (original 2007 series, not the remake)

The Royals (the E! show)

Succession (Come for Brian Cox emotionally and verbally harass his children, stay for Kieran Culkin, Jeremy Strong, Sarah Snook, Matthew MacFayden, Conheads, and a Ludicrously Capacious Bag.)

The White Lotus (Tanya is ICONIC.)

Miss Scarlet and the Duke

Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (If you like Miss Scarlet, I can almost guarantee you will like Miss Fisher. And vice-versa.)

All Creatures Great and Small (the remake)

Sanditon

Black Mirror

Skins (UK series only)

Sex Education

The IT Crowd (the creator is an ass. The show is eternal.)

The Great

The Sopranos

The Empress

The Fall of the House of Usher

Midnight Mass (arguably the best Flanagan series. Fight me.)

Marie Antoinette (2022 TV series)

Dickinson

Euphoria

Stranger Things

The Tudors

Versailles

Unforgotten

Endeavour (you don't need to have seen Inspector Morse beforehand but it helps contextualize where some of this cast ends up in the future! Endeavour is the best murder mystery show ever written, IMO. Unforgotten is a close contender for second place.)

Outlander

Sherlock

Mad Men

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

American Horror Story (earlier seasons are way better than the later ones)

Gentleman Jack

Ted Lasso

Emily in Paris

Pride and Prejudice (the 1995 miniseries with Colin Firth)

Books and TV (that is, read and watch both!):

Bridgerton (books by Julia Quinn)

Magpie Murders (books by Anthony Horowitz. One of my few book recs that isn't a romance! Horowitz is a wonderful contemporary mystery writer)

Webtoons/manga:

(Because some people prefer manga/webtoons to novels! I have read all of these on MangaKatana. Mostly fantasy romance and contemporary romance, several have been made into J or K-dramas)

Under The Oak Tree

See You In My 19th Life

What's Wrong With Secretary Kim?

Like Wind on a Dry Branch

Marriage of Convenience

Father, I Don't Want to Get Married!

We Are Not Ourselves Today

An Hour of Romance

Innocent (The sole historical drama over here. Every sex and violence trigger warning you can imagine applies to this manga. It is also one of the most beautifully-drawn and intriguing stories I've ever read. Rose of Versailles fans, this is for you: this is your fave but darker.)

Marry My Husband

Video games with excellent storytelling:

(mostly. These are primarily otome games, mystery visual novels, and horror visual novels):

Zero Escape: The Nonary Games (there are three games in this series: 999, Virtue's Last Reward, and Zero Time Dilemma)

AI: The Somnium Files (There are currently two games in this series, AITSF and AITSF: Nirvana Initiative. Zero Escape and Somnium Files are basically required to play after Danganronpa. I said what I said: the storytelling is better)

Code: Realize (The best storytelling of all otome games, hands down. Do not watch the anime: it sucks. The first game is the best and really the only one you need to play. The other two games have okay side stories and are mostly romantic continuations of the first game's routes)

Collar x Malice

Cupid Parasite (mostly for the last two routes, though: if you're using a walkthrough guide. Generally much lighter than your usual otome...save for the last two routes that serve to break you.)

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (you could watch both seasons of the original anime if you really want to, but the games are better)

Umineko no Naku Koro ni (Note: please keep in mind this was written 10+ years ago in Japan, especially when you get to the Big Reveals in the final game. There are Some Takes that would go over poorly today. Like Code: Realize, do not watch the anime: IT SUCKS.)

Spirit Hunter: Death Mark

Spirit Hunter: NG (You don't technically have to play Death Mark first but it makes one of the endings far more impactful if you do!)

Honorable mentions:

Hakuoki (so many routes, so very long! But if you like Japanese history around this time, you may like this)

Olympia Soiree (good on the more mature content, bad on some of the LIs giving me pause like 'this is not a good romance idea')

Amnesia: Memories (I'm not a fan of the female main character or two of the LIs. At all.)

Piofiore (Similar complaints as Amnesia.)
