I love scenes with a strong inner tension between the characters, such as a dramatic and pivotal confrontation. These always give me chills down my spine and are so fun to reply to!

I like basicly anything with high tension, as well as the emotional resolution that usually (but not always) follows.

A little while back though, I played something pretty outside my usual, and which probably wouldn't have been near as interesting if the characters involved didn't have a pretty significant history already. My character had fallen into drug use because she never got the life experience to learn healthy coping methods, and what started as a minor and not really problematic thing to deal with one major event spun out of control following another. Regular rehab wasn't really an option, so the RP was my partner's character doing his best to figure out how to help mine get clean. Both of these characters have some huge trust issues and are, for the most part, total jerks, but they are actually super dedicated to each other, and it took a lot of trust and acceptance to get through it all and to stay clean. It was... actually weirdly therapeutic for me, even though I've never had a drug issue.

Awkward situations and misunderstandings that just turn hilarious. Im just a funny kinda pal I guess

i think my favourite scenes to roleplay are definitely ones where a character is crying. i love to write angst, and i love when the character just goes into a downward spiral of emotions and just completely breaks down.

i think i’m a sadist.

I adore realistic depictions of combat, especially hand-to-hand or swordplay, as I'm rather knowledgeable in both. But my absolute favourite is scenes between people that truly care for one another, especially siblings. Those who have roleplayed with me will usually enjoy when I play a character like Aeces, or Yuvithnah, or any from the Bassiss family, as they are incredibly close with those they share blood with.

My personal favourites are Yu and Iriness, along with Karem, Korem and Anglaias.

I would say that depends, I don't have my only favourite category as I like to see/enjoy things in wider spectrum.

However I like nostalgic scenes because there's something intense and romantic (in classical, not sexual sense) about interactions like that, there's no need for affectionate displays i.e. kissing or grand confessions with fireworks in background.
Call me romantic I don't care, it simply makes me smile and feel so happy inside.

There are also regular interaction scenes, between either friends, family or lovers. they have that thing, that makes me feel emotions, whenever they're happy or sad, in that sense it's a bit like marriage vows but put in practice ex. [(...)" for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part."]

So in that regard I can say that reflects what person really I'm.

I love an epic scene as much as the next guy but I will have to say... Meaningful dialogues! Those scenes where the characters start to truly understand one another and form a connection, for good or for worst.

I just wrote a proposal scene for only the second time ever. Writing proposal scenes always do something for me -- I love them! I think it's because all the feelings two characters have been building for each other throughout the entire time you've been role-playing with the other person is distilled into a single put-it-all-on-the-line moment, and it can be so emotional.

When a female and a male character finally admit their true feelings for each other after a lot of angst conflict resistance struggle in the relationship. I gotta stop watching the hallmark movie channel so much.

It’s a tie between writing the aftermath of an intense/dramatic scene and writing something relaxed with a little sarcastic or tongue-in-cheek humor.

For me, moments of epiphany and snarky exchanges of banter. The banter is just fun, and the rapid working through logic and coming up with cunning plans on the fly in writing gives me a rush, especially since I'm usually coming up with the ideas in real-time as I write.

Emotional scenes and the culmination of a slow burn romance are 👌 I don’t really care for physical fighting for its own sake, but it depends on the specifics. Turning points in character development are always interesting, too, and I love when new characters just.. “click” together!

THIS 100%

Bury me in slow burn romances and characters that have been married or deeply committed to one another for a lifetime and have such great dynamics that a slice of life scene like cooking breakfast becomes an emotionally fulfilling journey. I will write placid, fleece-lined cuddling scenes under early morning light until my fingers fall off.

Recently I learned that I love writing mysteries and whodunit scenes.

Love it!

I have to say I’ve been writing a fairly graphic medieval battle scene in this massive epic rp on another fire and am finding it quite exhilarating! I have to say a good short (or long) erotic encounter is always enjoyable to write with a writing partner who is in to it.

I enjoy it most when the hero and the villain duel it out, especially if the hero is mortal and the villain is immortal; it brings a sense of urgency and danger to the plot, and quickens the pacing, along with the intensity that goes with it.
