i kinda hate debates because i feel like nothing ever comes out of them but, i’ll post my two cents here. like others have stated, using real life slurs have no place on lotc. the use of real life slurs encourages people to be racist in real life, dare i say. also i’m not sure where this idea that ‘darkie’ (which i’ll refer to as the d slur from here on out) isn’t a slur, because i’ve heard black people specifically detest its existence— both irl and on social media. you don’t need a full etymology of a word to remove it from your vocabulary. end of discussion. finally, i forget who said this but using shakespearean level insults as slurs is 100x better than using real life slurs, such as the d slur. google shakespeare insult generator and you’ll find like 100 of them on the first page. unbaed also made the claim that one of the players was recently banned for roleplaying as a (im assuming) antisemitic jewish stereotype. all i’m gonna say is why do we allow them back on the server if they’ll just do the same again? thank you & im so so sorry for any formatting issues. i’m on my phone </3

Sister Amadeya had barely settled into the Abbey before finding a missive in the gardens. She grinned crookedly at the missive, slowly reading through it-- and sounding a word out occasionally.

Amelia ripped the missive from her summer home mailbox, of which she was currently decorating. "It's been but a day and there's already solicitors!" The Baroness cried. However, curiosity got the better of her-- and she read the missive. Application Form Name: Amelia Paulina Ashford de Lewes Race: Human Age: 45 Place of Residence: Whitespire, Aaun. Lemon Hill, Aaun.

Amelia de Lewes quickly set off on plotting and planning...

As of 1930 Introductory Notes Following the establishment of the Royal City of Whitespire, and the settlement of all the various cultures within one city, the Aaunic cultural identity has flourished. A distinct style has emerged from the gilded city, equipped with statement piece jewelry and intricate hair designs. The dresses donned by ladies of Aaun are often free flowing, lacking much structure save the bodice that are oftentimes tailored and accompanied by a belt or some sort of intricate corsetry. The fashions of Whitespire are best known for their usage of gold, both in headpieces and throughout the vestments of the city’s people. Finally, the purpose of these pamphlets are not to dictate what the men and women of Whitespire wear, but rather to document occurring trends. Trends of Whitespire In contrast with the Adrian anathema, the most popular trend within Whitespire is light, or vibrant colors. There is no one color that takes the trophy for most-worn color, however, purple seems to be popular amongst the nobility and royals, whereas various shades of red seem to be popular amongst the commoners. Robes and loose silhouettes are also quite popular in Whitespire, especially amongst women, these robes are usually embroidered, and layered over a dress (see: The Lady of Alba’s Wedding Gown). Finally, as for accessories go- most women choose to go the simple route, with pearls or gold necklaces, and rosaries are equally popular amongst both sexes. The Lady of Alba’s Wedding Gown Adela-Olympe of High Peak: A Wedding Fashion Plate by Donna Vinny. Adela of High Peak decided to go the regal route, with a lavish red coat made from velour over a fashionable white gown made from eastern silks. Ever-so modest, Adela of High Peak donned a plain veil as a way of honoring the Canonist doctrine. Finally, Adela’s head was topped with an opulent crown, adorned with sapphire and rubies. Adela of High Peak is sure to be a fashionable queen in her upcoming reign. The Lord of Alba’s Wedding Attire Henry, Lord of Alba: A Wedding Fashion Plate by Donna Vinny. Henry, Aaunic Crown Prince, opted to wear a muted purple suit with equally fashionable light blue pants for his special day. In accordance with his Alstion lineage, he wore a deep, purple cape, embroidered with gold designs. In addition to this cape– he wore a purple sash. Uniquely, Henry opted not to wear a crown, instead sporting a simple golden circlet embellished with purple gemstones. Henry, while not as fashionable as his wife, will surely be an inspiration for male fashion in the years to come. Mustaches and Facial Hair The King of Aaun’s Mustache: An Ink Portrait by Timothy Burr In recent years, it’s become a trend amongst both the commoners and nobility of the male gender to don facial hair, with some notable examples being His Royal Majesty, James I, King of Aaun; His Royal Highness, Henry, Lord of Alba; and His Grace, Jan, Duke of Stran. Facial hair amongst men is often kept trimmed, combed, and maintained – adding a bit of scruff to the man, but not too much scruff. In particular, beards are extremely popular, however mustaches are coming into their hay day too. Closing Notes In closing, the Mistress of the Wardrobe would like to remind readers that the purpose of these pamphlets is not to dictate what people should wear, but rather to document the trends occurring in the capital and to encourage people to take part in them. Signed Her Royal Highness, Adela of High Peak, the Princess Henry of Aaun, Lady of Alba Her Excellency, Julietta Laurelai Haverlock, Lady Chamberlain of Aaun, Founder & Head of the Order of Elixirs, Councilor of The Medical Society of St. Catherines Her Ladyship, Amelia Paulina Ashford de Lewes, The Mistress of the Wardrobe, Baroness-Consort of Virdain

no offense but where was romance rp ever brought up in frankdogs original comment

many of these uncultured "roleplayers" don't even know their history... Sigh.

Amelia slid into a creaking, wooden pew in Aaun's chapel. She held the missive in one hand, and a golden rosary, gifted from her father, in the other. Outside the wind whipped through the air, seemingly screaming. But, in this brief moment of prayer - The Baroness found hope. She rose from the pew, exiting the tired, creaking chapel, tears dripping down her flushed cheeks, strolling past the palace and into the Varoche Manor, staring at a portrait of Charles, her younger brother, and Sigismond, her father.

the hell is stellaris

the only ppl who have a problem with genderbending are boring weirdos who think everyone is below them in my experience so. i think ur fine

Amelia, the mother of the baby, cradled the young Henri Leufroy Sigismond. Smiling proudly, she decided to reward herself with a glass of wine for her efforts.

"Finally." The Baroness of Virdain commented, sipping wine after giving birth to her son. "Everyone in Aaun knew they'd be married."

"Live, laugh, Lewes!" The Baroness of Virdain commented.

everyday someone starts some unneeded discourse
