Best local storytelling model for an 8GB GPU? Reddit user seeks current gold standard

Constraints: ideally runs on an 8GB card, 16GB acceptable for a big quality jump; wants low refusals without the model going out of its way to be vulgar. A useful thread for tracking which local RP/narrative fine-tunes the community currently favors.
