“I love that word. Forever. I love that forever doesn’t exist, but we have a word for it anyway, and use it all the time. It’s beautiful and doomed.”
— Viv Albertine
the crew of the x1 andromeda left for their mission three months ago with the intention of being the first team to land on a planet outside of the solar system. their goal was a planet in proxima centauri. as the team sailed through the void of space there was nothing but darkness in their path. at first they thought that there were no stars in the direction they were headed, but when the darkness surrounded them they realized they were in the midst of something their calculations could not predict.
the moment the solar system behind them disappeared the team was suddenly overwhelmed by headaches and each person collapsed. in the space between consciousness and crash landing each team member experienced visions of the past and future. important moments from their lives and people that they had left behind suddenly flashed into a view and then disappeared. and when they awoke they found themselves in their ship: crumpled and on fire .
they exited the ship to find that they crash landed on to the surface of a planet covered in life. their ship demolished the deciduous forest and nearly collided with the mountain rising in front of them. above them a large moon and a nearby planet loomed on the horizon. no one knew where they were but two things were conclusive: this planet is alive and this planet is not the earth that they left behind.
WORMHOLE is a literate skeleton roleplay inspired by sci fi media like Interstellar, The Martian, Annihilation, Gravity, and Sunshine. This rp is intended to focus on the relationships between co-workers who are forced into long-term close proximity. Themes include: the weight of responsibility, our relationship to our planet, and how linear time affects our perception.
In this house we love and stan one Michael Bakari Jordan. Before you panic when you see this, no Mr. Jordan has not been revealed as problematic or for lack of a better word deserving of anything resembling cancellation. What we need to do collectively as a roleplay community is step outside of our comfort zone when creating black male characters and look at face claims that aren’t Michael B. Jordan. I say we, because even I’m guilty. Currently, Michael B. Jordan is 33 years old. The actors listed below fall between 26 and 37 years old. Resources may vary with some suggested fcs.

My last say on this matter. Mackie was talking about the way white fans fetish Sam Wilson and his relationship with Bucky. The way you all go amd write fan five on how Sam is some magical negro only there to comfort Bucky and to fuck him into the mattress is fetish and explosive. The way you all ever write Sam as this manly man top who has a high sex drive is exploitive. Mackie is talking about how straight and lgbtq black people can never deviate from a certain stereotype without being fetishes. Mackie is talking about how black men were called gay as a slur because they showed feelings. Mackie is talking about how he wants to break the norms that not just gay men can be sensitive and caring to male companions.
White lgbtq/striaght who are mad will never understand what it is like to be a black person who can only ever show one emotion and get judged if the deviate from it. Mackie so clearly wants gay men to have representation but knows that his relationship with bucky and Sebastian is not the representation he is giving.
White fans who are angry need to step back and ask why your so quick to demonize a black man who is trying to break down toxic masculinity in black culture
Reminder that it really doesn’t matter what ways you’re marginalized, if you’re not black you’re just as capable of anti blackness as white cishet people. No amount of “but I’m gay!”, “but I’m trans!”, or “but I’m not white!” changes that.
And being neurodiverse/disabled isn’t an excuse for anti blackness either.
