// hellooo! yes, i vanished off the face of the earth again. a whole bunch of things happened. caught a cold right around christmas which took me a bit to recover from, then a whole bunch of irl chaos came down on me.

you may notice i'm not using my mun icons for this post. unfortunately the hard drive failed in my computer a few days ago, and i lost a lot of my files. i was not backing things up as often as i should have been, and aside from tumblr related stuff i'm gonna need to replace, i also lost a lot of things that were important to me. so i'm kind of reeling from that a little bit rn.

i will be back!! this is not one of those cases where i'm gonna vanish forever, lol. but it may be a little while still. i hope you guys understand!! in the meantime i'll probably be logged into my personal most of the time, so if you want to see my ramblings, the url is @crayolacolor.

thank you for reading, and i hope to be back soon!

What do you do for the holiday season?

misc asks | always accepting!

"Is it that time of year? We gave up trying to keep track of time on the train-... well, accurately, anyway. I haven't technically celebrated Christmas since I was a little kid."

Even then, it wasn't much, as far as he could recall. But he didn't care to dig too far into those memories.

"We do something similiar for the kids occasionally, but not by that name. Or at the right time of year, probably, but I don't think it matters much to them. They just like getting presents."

One Apex kid's snack is eaten by another kid

Apex kid: Oh, well, in that case, I suggest you sleep with one eye open.

Simon: What do we say about making threats we know we can't keep?

Apex kid: Oh, no Simon, I will keep it.

Simon: *shrugs* You heard them. One eye open.

@waitlifted | from here!:

Cassandra did decidedly jump at the voice behind her, swinging around with her sword pointed, prepared to face yet another of the train's magic monstrosities that wanted her dead. What she found, however, was an even more unusual sight— another human. Huh. 

"If you want to be a ghost, sneaking up on someone who has a sword is a good option," she deadpanned, stowing her sword and making an annoyed expression to cover how he had startled her. "And how would you know what's in here, anyways?" 

She had definitely paid him back for the accidental jumpscare. He hadn’t noticed from a distance that she had a sword at all, so having it abruptly pointed at him was enough to make him noticeably jolt.

“I'll remember that for next time.” He answered, when she was no longer pointing the sword at him. “I know what’s here because I live here. I have for... a long time.” His tone, briefly, slipped into a subtle note of melancholy.

But he didn’t linger on it too long.

“I wanted to catch you before you started snooping around too much. Some parts of the mall are off limits.” He meant his own room, of course- but also Grace’s. Even he hadn’t been in there since she had left.

“If you’re looking for the other door, it’s downstairs.”

encrgycoat​:

 Just her luck , getting lost sure isn’t fun especially if she doesn’t know the where she is . One of her spells had gone awry again & she needed to practice on that . She isn’t alone , with her spellbook in hand , maybe she needs to find a way to return back home safely . Head turning at the concerned citizen , she frantically nodded . She hoped that the people here doesn’t fear her status . “ Uh , yeah . Let’s just say I got lost .  I don’t think I’m in Ever After High anymore . ” Coming from a land of the fairytales & the likes , the witch would feel alienated from this world if she hasn’t gotten an ounce of familiarity . “ I would appreciate it if you tell me where I am ? I practiced with my spells one day & then poof .  I had no idea how I got here . ”

That was not the type of lost that Simon was expecting.

It wasn’t that he absolutely didn’t believe her. He would be a hypocrite if he completely dismissed her. But incidents involving anything magical in nature were few and far between. Most didn’t believe that they happened at all.

( As much as his neighbors liked to speculate about his family being ‘cursed.’ )

Personally, he knew that they did happen. The train was very real, and very clearly something of the supernatural. But the chances of encountering something else along those lines felt so astronomically small, that he wasn’t sure what to make of this girl that was claiming to have come there via magic.

“... You’re in Ashborne. It’s in Canada.” He answered her question first. Though if she was telling the truth, he realized she might not know even where Canada was. But it also didn’t really matter, if she was from another world. She’d be just as far away no matter where in this one she had ended up.

Swallowing, he glanced over his shoulder to see if anyone was looking at them. He’d caught people staring at him an uncomfortable amount of times since he’d been back, and now was the last time he wanted someone eavesdropping.

“You might want to be a little more careful. Most people here don’t really believe in magic- they’ll either accuse you of lying or they’ll think you’re crazy.” He told her in a lowered voice. “You got lucky with me. I have... reasons, to believe in it.”

Go into my inbox and tell my muse something they need to hear! (Good OR bad!)

KNOWING YOUR PARTNER WELL CAN POTENTIALLY MAKE WRITING TOGETHER A LOT EASIER. REPOST.

name: color!!

pronouns: she/her

preference of communication: if you have it and you're comfortable adding me, i much prefer talking on discord!! tumblr ims are kind of clunky and hard to deal with imo.

name of muse: simon laurent!

rp experience / how long: i have about twelve years of roleplay experience. i started on roblox when i was around eight, and gradually worked my way up from there. as for tumblr roleplay experience specifically, i don't remember, but probably 5+ years.

best experience: the period when the infinity train rpc was active was my best period for tumblr roleplay, i think. it was a small rpc, but that also made it more chill, and i really enjoyed it. i miss my infinity train rpc mutuals a lot, but i know how it goes. switching to other fandoms, getting too busy, getting burned out on tumblr roleplay. all of that happened to me too.

rp pet peeves / deal breakers: pretty much just what's listed in my rules for deal breakers. for pet peeves, i am a bit of a stickler for grammar, lol. not that big of a deal in the long run, though.

fluff, angst, or smut: okay well first of all i don't do smut at all. i'm majorly uncomfortable with nsfw content in general. with that out of the way though!! my best genre is definitely angst. it doesn't have to be pure angst, mind you. but tooth-rotting fluff is very hard to write for me. albeit i am currently writing a muse that's hard to do that with anyway, so y'know. kind of comes with the territory!! i will do slice of life threads, i've gotten better at those than i used to be, but there's always gonna be some level of angst involved even if it's not the main focus.

plot or memes: i'm down for either, actually! i'm not the best at coming up with ideas, admittedly, so i do struggle a bit with plotting sometimes. but i'm trying!! and i've been doing a little better at it than i was, to the point that i'd actually like to do a little plotting with all of my roleplay partners if we can. at least enough that i have a concrete idea of what kinds of interactions you're interested in. memes as first interactions are fine too, though! just so long as you're comfy with me deciding based on my own discretion what verse to use and other things like that.

long or short replies: on your end or mine? lol. i'll always write at least a paragraph (unless i'm specifically posting a one-line starter), but most times my minimum is 3-4. that said, sometimes i go crazy and write much more, from 11-20 paragraphs. so i'm kind of all over the place there. as for your end, i don't mind how long your reply or starter is, as long as you give me enough to work with! i'm not a stickler for matching length. i also don't force myself to match length exactly if i can't think of anything else to add. i'll never give you a drastically shorter reply, but i won't stress over it if it's a paragraph or two short of yours.

best time to write: ridiculously late o'clock, for some darn reason!!! my writing motivation is ALWAYS the highest right before i go to bed and it drives me absolutely crazy because i don't have time to get anything done. but if i don't finish it and try to go back to it the next day, my motivation is much lower, and i end up staring at it for so long that i start overthinking it and want to rewrite the whole thing. head in hands. i'm such a coherent roleplayer.

are you like your muse: LOL i hope not!!! not this one, anyway. i used to write noelle holiday from deltarune, and i think that's the closest i've ever gotten to really seeing myself in a muse. there's a lot about noelle that i relate to. but simon? no, not really. i just have a thing for complex villains with tragic backstories.

‘Why aren’t we interacting?’

😿 - I’m too shy to reach out 😥 - I’m a little intimidated by your writing length / style / formatting 😵 - I don’t know how to approach you ⌛️ -  You seem really busy 👥 - I don’t know which of my muses you’re interest in 📝 - It would help if you could feel my interest checker! ❓ - I’m not familiar with any of your current muses 📩 - I’ve sent you asks / written you starters, but you never replied to them 💬 - I have a plot in mind for us, but I haven’t found the right way/time to reach out 💞 - I ship our muses, but I don’t know if you’re interested ✒️ - I usually interact through memes / open starters and you don’t post a lot of them 🥇 - You followed me first and I’m waiting for you to make the first move 🥰 - I’m following you because I love your writing and content and I just want to read your stuff

friendly reminder to start embracing and using the new editor + xkit rewritten.

the reality is tumblr is actively phasing out the legacy editor. we may not like that but it is what it is.

new tumblr accounts don't have access to the legacy editor anymore !!

which means if you use new xkit to cut your posts, that post is now a legacy format post and your partner, who no longer has access to new xkit and needs to use xkit rewritten, won't be able to trim their posts because xkit rewritten requires both posts to be in the new post format.

i know that sounds confusing, but we just have to start using xkit rewritten.

#ooc | uncategorized #// ooh i didn't know this. tumblr still let me switch back to the legacy editor when i remade this blog #// i already have xkit rewritten i just didn't know how to trim posts with it so i kept using new xkit

countlessrealities​:

Mabel was no stranger to oddities. She had spent a whole summer in a town where normalcy and paranormal mixed in one single reality and survived an apocalypse weird by name and by nature. She had fought and befriended all the kinds of creatures, beings that in the knowledge of most people were only part of legends…or completely foreign. She had been faced with a demon hellbent on turning her reality into a never-ending nightmarish party.

And yet, waking up on what she would later find out being a giant train, with no recollection of how she had gotten there, had left her even more unsettled than discovering the secrets of Gravity Falls for the very first time had. Perhaps it was because she couldn’t wrap her mind around the weird reality she had landed in. Or maybe it was because she was being forced to deal with alone, without her brother.

She and Dipper had always done everything together. Despite their different personalities and interests, they always found a common ground they could stand side by side on. They were best friends, partner-in-crimes, twins. And she firmly believed that that truth would never change, even with the awkward tension that had been lingering between them since the events of Weirdmageddon.

She could fend for herself, much more than most 13-years-old, and she had proved it more than once, but without Dipper she felt somewhat lost.

Then there was the glowing number on the palm of her hand. Mabel didn’t know what it meant or why it kept changing, but she had recognized the one she had had when she had firstly woken up on the train. 326.

Creature 326. Bill Cipher.

It couldn’t be just a freaky coincidence. And while the demon couldn’t have been responsible for her current predicament because they had deleted him from existence, the awareness still left her feeling on the edge.

Chasing away those thoughts, the girl focused on the cart she had just stepped into. The first thing that struck her was how different it looked compared to the ones she had visited so far. Abandoned, lifeless, no sign of odd creatures or puzzles in sight. It reminded her of Dusk 2 Dawn, the shut down convenience store in Gravity Falls, and she wondered if that place too could be haunted.

She lingered in the doorway, unsure of what to do. She had learnt that the best choice was usually having a look around. Find the other door, and hopefully a clue that could tell her how to open it.

Before she could make make up her mind, a voice reached her ears from out of the blue, causing her to visibly start. Mabel whipped her head in the direction it had come from and her eyes widened slightly at the sight of what, at first glance, looked like another teen. Older than here, with a suspicious green glow filtering from under parts of his clothes, but still very normal, very human looking.

“Are you a ghost?” Was the first question that tumbled from her lips. After all, the dead owners of the store hadn’t looked much different from a normal person…at least at first.

“And what about the task?” She went on, not making a move to get closer. She had learnt the hard way that some of the inhabitants of the carts were hostile and dangerous. “Don’t I have to…do something to get the door open?”

Simon laughed under his breath at the question- partially due to the irony of how close he had come to the answer being yes. Regardless, it wasn’t an entirely dumb one. The place did feel haunted. And he was weirdly relieved that he wasn’t the only one to notice how ominous it felt without the Apex there.

“Last I checked, no. I’m still just another passenger.” He told her. While she stayed still, he came closer to her. He couldn’t actually see her that well from where he was standing at, so he figured she couldn’t see him well either.

Once he was close enough for her to see, he held his hand out to show her the number still emblazoned across it. The easiest way to prove that he was a passenger and not a null. Most of his number was hidden underneath his jacket, but the part around his neck made it obvious that it was much higher than what was visible on his palm and his wrist.

“There’s not a task here, either. The nulls that were here have been gone for a long time. I’m the only resident now, and you wouldn’t catch me dead rigging this place with train puzzles.” He went on, rolling his eyes at the notion.

“The door’s always unlocked. You just have to go up the escalator.” He nodded in the direction of the escalator in question, behind Mabel on the other side of the mall. The door was right at the top of it, in the middle of the second floor.
