Meet the Mun.

ᴡʜᴀᴛ ᴍᴀᴅᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ᴘɪᴄᴋ ᴜᴘ ᴛʜᴇ ᴄᴜʀʀᴇɴᴛ ᴍᴜꜱᴇ(ꜱ) ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇ?

Lort, I have soooo many muses across many blogs; it's vile. I will only comment on Reno since, y'know, I'm filling this out for bitterarcs. In general, I have loved FF7 for a long ass time, and it might have been the second verse I ever wrote in. I like Reno because he reminds me a lot of myself while still being completely different from me. I get to tap into comedy, my macabre interest in violent/dark themes, and I get to really challenge myself to think not like me. Reno is an excellent mixed bag of a lot of compelling elements which prevents me from getting bored writing him . . unlike other muses I have. I was very happy that were was some FF community on tumblr, so naturally I had to pick my favourite character from FF7. Also there weren't many other Renos around, so I was like LET'S DO IT.

ɪꜱ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ᴀɴʏᴛʜɪɴɢ ʏᴏᴜ ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴡʀɪᴛᴇ?

College things ( which certainly does not apply to FF ), anything normal ( like small town librarian in a nothing less plot ), prolonged fight scenes, and casual, happy-go-lucky plots. Sometimes I am in the mood for something lighter, but I usually get over that within the hour. I think happy things are boring for the longevity of a plot. Also smut for the sake of smut when it adds nothing to the plot.

ɪꜱ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ᴀɴʏᴛʜɪɴɢ ʏᴏᴜ ʀᴇᴀʟʟʏ ᴇɴᴊᴏʏ ᴡʀɪᴛɪɴɢ?

Violence, gore, high fantasy, supernatural/biblical, historical ( ancient Greece / Rome, pirates, 1860s America ), morality, psychological, fantasy, world building, sad shit, character deaths.

ʜᴏᴡ ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴄᴏᴍᴇ ᴜᴘ ᴡɪᴛʜ ʜᴇᴀᴅᴄᴀɴᴏɴꜱ?

I either dream of something, get inspired by talking to another writer, random thoughts throughout the day, my own life, just knowing that character for so long.

ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡʀɪᴛᴇ ɪɴ ꜱɪʟᴇɴᴄᴇ ᴏʀ ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴘʟᴀʏ ᴍᴜꜱɪᴄ?

Usually I have to have something playing, mostly a show or twitch stream I'm not paying attention to in the background. If it's a long reply/starter or a serious one, then it's all silent.

ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴘʟᴀɴ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʀᴇᴘʟɪᴇꜱ ᴏʀ ᴡɪɴɢ ᴛʜᴇᴍ?

For shorter things, I wing it. I plan long replies and starters; I definitely plan long threads with goals of major events and a possible conclusion.

ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴇɴᴊᴏʏ ꜱʜɪᴘᴘɪɴɢ?

Not really. Not by tumblr terms anyway. I was used to writing on a site where people only shipped with one other character . . I guess you'd call that exclusive. I do enjoy that on levels I won't get into. Here I feel like people just want to fuck for the sake of it on here. You do you; it's not my thing. I suppose what I described is an intimate ship, and people also describe shipping as more than something romantic/sexual. Depending on muse, I'm game for other relationship dynamics especially those that involve tension or hurt or strong feelings of loyalty.

ᴡʜᴀᴛ'ꜱ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴀʟɪᴀꜱ/ɴᴀᴍᴇ?

Call me whatever the fuck you want honestly.

SEMI-HIATUS NOTICE: 04/12/23 - 05/02/24

What does this mean? It means that until the 5th of Feb (or I finish my npl, whichever comes first), activity is going to be very low. I may sporadically drop threads or just hoard them until such a time I am less stressed and my brain is out of panic mode and works.

What blogs will be effected? All of them. @sacredslaycd and @echoburnt as well as this one.

Is you ask box closed? No because I'm a glutton for punishment, but I will likely be super slow answering these. Meaning it could be during my week break commencing the 17th November or it could be the new year. If you're not prepared to wait or will lose interest in that time, just don't send one in.

Will you be accepting new threads? Yes, because again, I am a glutton for punishment but as I mentioned above, I will be super slow. Replies may take a month of more to get to so if that's not for you and you're going to lose interest in that time, it's best to not start anything with me.

What will happen to current threads? Some may end up getting dropped, others will just be hoarded in my drafts until the point I have a functioning brain again and my anxiety sorts it's shit out. You may notice me writing with the same people/person while I ignore everything else, this isn't to be mean or make anyone feel like they're not worth my time but my brain wants what it wants and threads with friends are threads I have more muse for because I am familiar with the mun behind the characters and I don't have to stress about their replies. (Stress they're not good enough, they're boring, why would they want to write with me? etc. Because I do this alot and I don't have to brain power to have an anxiety attack about this as well as uni stuff hence more familiarity may mean replies.) If you want to know if I've dropped a thread, please just let me know! Equally, let me know if you'd really like to keep a thread and I will do my best to accommodate even if it means just putting it on pause until the new year <3 (My starter call will go ahead, just when I have brain power).

Are you still available on discord for plotting and general chatting? Yes! Potentially more for chatting than plotting depending on the day and my brain power but if you don't mind me being super slow, I very much enjoy talking and plotting with you all! My disco is: Lehane Apologist#1372

My commissions blog will be unaffected.

Template here.

Mun name(s): Yams Mun pronouns: She/her/they/them, but also don't mind whatever OOC Contact: DMs or D.isco (mutuals/people I vibe with only ask for my d.isco)

Who the heck are my muses anyway:

He's a little shit that causes problems and pisses people off for the heck of it. A bit of an edgelord (is that an understatement?), rude, vulgar, and extremely tough to crack if you want him in friendlier stages. Good luck. He's not going to make it easy for you.

Points of interest:

He has various verses, some things may change depending on what verse things are in. Details in his design are important and have stories behind them. In his main verses, he has extra strengthened abilities and a little extra chaotic surprise, sometimes. He has a lot of anger issues and is really shit at dealing with other emotions, often turning them into anger, too, because he doesn't know how else to handle things. He likes to think of himself as a villain, but really he's more like an anti-hero. And he's got a whole revenge case he's trying to deal out. He's got some emotional issues that he refuses to talk about, and others he will just spill because he likes to talk about himself. And he's got trust issues.

What they’ve been up to recently:

Well, this varies for people and verses. Things won't be following the same paths for everyone he interacts with. In in his main f.c5 verse, he somehow got himself in a position where he's gotta help protect the Seeds, because of the relationship he ended up in with Jacob. Everything in the B.L verses kinda got put on hold, but these days its after his Arena fell. A vampire verse, in the f.c5 land, has been distressing him. Bloody City (original) verse is getting more developments lately (yeehaw). Depends on what version you wanna deal with, really.

Where to find them:

In general modern times, usually Chicago. In the borderlands, usually Pandora. In F.C3, on Rook Islands, hanging with the pirates. In F.C5, Hope County, usually in Jacob's region. Frontier, the pirate is in Montreal in the company of Mr. Grant and Mr. Pond.

Current plans:

Plans? What are plans? We'll have to see what unfolds. Anything could happen.

Desired interactions:

Enemies to awkward found family member, enemies/rivals, slow burns of any kind of relationship (because its almost always a slow burn with him), helping him learn to cook maybe? (his whole fear of stoves and fire issue man), dad bird dad bird dad bird dad bird (has an accidentally adopted daughter in some verses btw), etc.

Offered interactions:

Uh, do you like problematic little shits? Do you like conflict? Stories are boring without conflict, after all. And it makes the good times so much more worth it, you know? If you for some reason want him to work with you, however, the price is gonna be a little different. Because he doesn't care about money.

Current open post/s:

Keep an eye out for random IC posts, they happen a lot, and are generally open to anyone if they don't have a tag. (I don't always tag ic posts but I do always tag any trigger warnings when I think they need it.) Some will have specific verse tags, sometimes, just so you know where things will be focused on but yeah, generally most things are open unless someone specifically gets @'d on.

Anything else?:

[I'm not super great at writing, and am especially bad at describing things in words, but Jay will make up for a lot in dialogue because he loves talking. Interactions can inspire art, lots of drawing going on here. Also things never stop developing. I've been running this character for 12+ years now and I'm still developing him.]

Mun name(s): Kalani, General, Killer (gamer name lmfao) Mun pronouns: Any I don't mind!! OOC Contact: Discord (ask if we're moots!) & tumblr ims

Who the heck are my muses anyway:

My muselist is a little all over the place! If the bio to each character doesn't cut it, ask me instead for how they are! Most are military, few are ex-military, one's a horse, there's a cult leader in amongst all of it. You name it, I probably have it.

Points of interest:

Some of them are kinda boring (in my opinion LMFAO) and most of the weird shit is from the Far Cry muses, the kinda cooler ones imho are the zombie-genre ones. Check them all out anyway I recommend it <3

What they’ve been up to recently:

The most important character arc for Voice right now, is acceptance at the fact that no matter what he does he can't change history when it comes to Joseph. What's done is done. The other most important character arc is for Joseph and that's just realising he's traumatised and seeking therapy that "actually works". Lots of others ofc on the blog but those two are the main ones lmfao-

Where to find them:

Most can be found in America! Some (Dead Island) can be found on Banoi. In SBY some can be found floating in space between Gamilas and Earth. Borderlands it's a wildcard on where they'll be you'd have to check bios on that lmfao. Expedition characters are on Darwin IV, but can also be dragged to other places! Far Cry 3 is on two islands, depending on North or South island, will decide on who you meet. Far Cry 4 is the same deal, only taking place in Kyrat! New Dawn is a post-Apocalyptic America. Far Cry 6 takes place in Yara. Protect the boy if you go there! Frontier is an 18th century historical drama for America/Canada. I only care about Cobbs/Grant though- RAGE is a post-apocalyptic world once again. Which world? Yes. Silver Brumby actually takes place in Australia but Brolga is a helluva fun muse to interact with!

Current plans:

Specific upcoming arcs are hard to think of when I keep changing my characters, how they act, etcetc, but there is one exploring how Joseph became the Voice, I'm just figuring out how to do it :3

Desired interactions:

Enemies to lovers, lovers to enemies, lovers to enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, enemies to-

Offered interactions:

All depends on the character one is interested in! Remember to look at the bios for each character. For example as a leader, there better be a good reason someone would want to meet Dessler and Joseph Seed. As an important person someone needs a good reason to meet a military figure like Gimleh, Ryder, Knoxx, etc. Just find the one that works for you!

Current open post/s:

My open starters, starter calls and plotting calls are here for your leisure to click on <3

The Disaster Mission With The Insect Mancer and the Gravity Maifoso - Part One

An action and funny drabble for @the-silver-peahen-residence involved our two muses; Chuya Nakahara from BSD ( Peahen-mun's muse ) and my OC, Pete Gnat. There are some moments of seriousness in the first part but things get more hectic in the second part.

----- Summary ----

Chuya and Pete were assigned on a mission. But this unlikely pair don't like each other for reasons and so they will cooperate with together without any further incident.

----

The collaboration between the Lovely Horrors and Port Mafia is still ongoing. Sid is in discussions with the boss while everyone has their missions. Matt is usually paired with Ryunosuke, Charlie with Gin, Shrika with Higuchi, Jason with Tachihara, Lex with and a few others.

But this pair-up is the worst thing that Chuya Nakahara has to deal with. He doesn't know much about the other Horrors. He heard they're pretty good at their jobs, especially with hunting and killing. Hell...some of them are pretty reasonable like Sid but they shouldn't be messed with. If Chuya had to describe this.

Matt is just crazy. Shrika flirts with him to the point where he blushes all the time and he can't get any job done. Jason is a wild guy which is not surprising since he's a werewolf. Charlie is quiet and he can't really tell what she thinks, Cobin hates everyone equally with that smug attitude of his, and oh Lex creeps him out even with those bandages! He is told not to look at his face but goddamn..that guy's face looks fine!

He can handle them as they can be managed and reasoned with. But by god! What did he have to pair up with Pete of all people! What is the boss thinking?!

Okay...sure...Pete looks after Yumeno and he really takes care of him which he really respects. Yumeno tells Gin and Ryunosuke that they're having a wonderful time and he's being homeschooled. Chuya has no problem with it. Not at all.

But the bugs. THE BUGS! Those slimy creepy little shit crawlers scare the living shit out of him. He remembers when one crawled up his leg, a freaking huge black centipede! That happened when Chuya restrained Pete whom he didn't know that this punk is a skinny-ass blondie that look like an emo! Chuya can't help but laugh knowing this scary-ass monster is a punk. H

Then he felt something crawling up his leg, Chuya froze and slowly looked down at his pants before pulling one of them up to see one. He can't believe that he screamed like a little girl. Never that he yelled like that. Thank god, nobody is there to hear about it.

Ever since then...any bug he sees, he makes sure to walk away from. Fast. Freaking bugs remind him of Pete. Hell...he even uses his ability to make them go away instead of squashing them with his bare hands. He hates Pete! He is a second guy below Dazai!

"Can't believe I am stuck with you," Chuya muttered.

"Can say the same thing," Pete said.

Pete doesn't like Chuya. To him, he is always angry and likes to get on his nerves with his insults. He even teased him about his body build whenever he came out of the suit. Always ask him why he is so skinny at his bones and he needs to eat more. This guy always pokes fun at him and his costume. Hell, most of the time Chuya is in a bad mood. It gets worse when he runs into the ADA and Dazai. He is in the worst mood making Pete have to deal with it. When he gets really irritated and stressed out, he smokes! It bothers him so much! Oh when he drinks, he gets drunk easily making him pick him up on Matt's orders. Just why?! It's like dealing with a drunk uncle.

For now, their job is surveillance and he hopes that this mission is just boring. Another normal day at least, Boring enough for Chuya to cool off and have him not do anything stupid.

"Ugh...." Chuya sighed as he is drinking his coffee milk. "Hey, anything yet, bug brain?"

Pete ignores the nickname but answers, "Nothing yet."

"Tch. This is boring." Chuya sighed as he keeps sipping his drink.

"Do you prefer problems or no problems?" Pete said.

"Doesn't matter to me, it means there is no action going on. Means no fighting!" Chuya groaned.

"Really?" Seriously. Pete thought, looking at him with a look.

"Yeah." Yeah, seriously. Chuya frowns at him before looking up at the sky. "Anyway...I got a question."

Ugh. Here we go. He's probably asking something stupid. Pete thought.

'Why the hell do you wear a suit?"

Really? Pete thought but he answered, "Because I felt like it."

"Isn't that hard or something? Wouldn't you get overheated inside of that thing?" Chuya asked.

"Not really," Pete said.

"And why's that?" Chuya asked.

"Because the bugs help." Pete answered simply.

'The what?" Chuya blinked.

"The bugs help," Pete repeated. Chuya felt a shiver down his spine, he shivers in disgust. "You're saying....that there are bugs inside your suit?"

"Yeah. Didn't you know that?" Pete answers, but he can't help but smile at Chuya's pale expression.

"That's....really gross!" He yelled, taking steps back away from Pete, "What the hell?!" Chuya commented, pointing at him angrily, "Why won't you transform into a monster like Shrika and Jason?!"

"Because I don't have that ability," Pete stated the obvious making a face.

"And why not?"

"Because it just isn't! Why? Do you want to me turn into a bug monster?" Pete said. Now thinking, Chuya had to imagine Pete as a bug monster with those claws, bug-like features, and all that. "Nevermind." Chuya doesn't want to think about that.

Pete sighs. Good.

"But I gotta ask."

Oh god. What now?

"What got you into the fraction of Horrors, anyway?"

What kind of question is that?

"Because I kill."

"Heh. Everyone can kill, bug brain" Chuya scoffed. "What I am saying is why you join the fraction like that. I'm going, to be honest, here, you don't strike me as a type that enjoys killing."

"Huh?" Pete said. Inside his suit, he looks confused.

"Your friends." Chuya begins, "Not sure about Sid but so far, Shrika likes to drop people from the sky, Jason likes to maul people, Cobin likes to spray bullets at people that pisses him off and Charlie likes to strangle in her trap for some reason. I don't know about Lex who uses freaking light lasers, and....don't get me started on your leader, Matt."

"From what I have seen so far, your friends kill because they felt like it. You on the other only kill when it's needed."

"Okay, what are you getting at here?" Pete is getting annoyed with this.

"You're the most sane out of all of them." Said Chuya. Pete looks over to Chuya looking confused as he said this. "Why?" Pete asked.

"Why?" Chuya can't help but laugh, "Because you kill those corrupted pro-heroes because they hurt Yumeno." He said. "And after you are satisfied with that, you don't seek out in fighting or rather kill other people for the kicks of it. From what I heard based on you what do, you go for the surveillance for your fraction letting others know where your enemy is. You're more like a bodyguard than a killer." Chuya taking a sip of his drink.

"What's your point??" Where is this guy going with this?

"My point is that your teammates are freaking monsters. You...even with that creepy bug suit on, you're the most human out of everyone in there. Hell...even the low-ranking members of your fraction; the Followers who took the HYDE pills prefer dealing with you and Sid." He said. Pete narrows his eyes at this before turning his head away to glance towards the sky.

"I mean...if you ask me...you're probably more suited to becoming mafia material."

"Forgot it. I'm not interested in anything like that." Pete quickly said.

"Sorry, sorry. You don't have the guts to become a mafioso anyway." Chuya shrugged him, annoying Pete even further.

Who the hell would want to become a gangster?! Pete made a face but his monstrous appearance didn't show it. Only the inside.

"So that's why I'm asking," Chuya asked. Pete exhales deeply, "Do you really want to know?"

"Yeah."

"Because they asked me to." Pete answered as if that was the only answer. This made Chuya blink and looks at Pete in disbelief. "Ha?! Wait...so you joined because they asked you to? That sounds way too suspicious." Chuya frowns.

In Pete's mind, he recalls a memory.

He is laying on the floor inside his own childhood home. There were two bodies in the closet with flies around and a small body buried outside the backyard. He felt empty as he stares off into the distance. Sometimes..he dreams only to wake up in a dark room. Surrounded by trash bags, boxes, and decaying things while his bugs are buzzing around. He didn't want to do anything nor want anything. He became a demon for the sake of revenge but now...he feels empty. Then something breaks inside his house.

Light beams through the plaster wall making his eyes wince.

He had his bugs attack but all bugs were killed immediately with the use of knives.

"Hey....are you the one living in this house?" A young man with red eyes and scars asked him cheerily.

----

After recalling that memory, Pete responds, "It's true. I was in a dark hole surrounded by filth. I was laying around on the floor and making sure my bugs keep everyone away from me. That's when Matt came in and he ask. Well...after fighting him and defeating me, he asked me to join. So I join the Horrors." Pete gives him a short version. Chuya looks dumbfounded by this before raising a brow at this, he shakes his head with his arms crossed

"Man...that sounds like you were depressed and Matt got you out of it."

Well...you make it sound like that. It does sound depressing.

"You can say that," Pete answered. Because of Matt, maybe he didn't have anything but follow Matt and Sid since he has nothing else to live for. Until now.

"What about you?"

"Huh?"

"It's only fair to ask since you're so curious about me," Pete said. "Why did you join Port Mafia?"

Chuya sighs loudly not wanting to argue with that point, so he goes to explain, "You know Dazai Osamu?"

"The detective guy that is with the ADA. Yeah, I met him." He asked, recalling the man back at the aquarium when he is confronted about Yumeno. Chuya nods, "Yeah...that's him. That bastard got me to join. Not by choice anyway."

Pete looks over at him as he listens. Chuya goes on to give a bit of his backstory about himself. He is part of a group called the Sheep; a group consisting largely of teenagers down on their luck that maintain their own territory. They begin to attack Port Mafia and other organizations. Along the way, Dazai was sent to combat them, or rather...he kidnapped the Sheep's members to get Chuya to work for them temporarily in order to save them. To do that, he has to help them with something. Along the way, Chuya tells the members of Sheep that he is doing this for them and is told things will work out. However....the Sheep in betraying him while compelling Chuya to join Port Mafia.

"Dazai came over when I was poisoned and weak. With his squad with orders to kill them all. To protect them, I will join Port Mafia so he can spare his life. Hell! Bastard gave me that choice if I want to save them..." He tightens his fists.

"Even if they betray you?" Pete asked. Chuya shakes his head, "They didn't betray me...rather....they were scared of me because that bastard manipulated them into thinking I betrayed them." Chuya growled.

Pete never thought Dazai would do that. Hearing that his ability is to cancel other abilities from Yumeno. "Hold on...I don't understand. He's part of the ADA why would he do something like that?"

"Hmph. Isn't it obvious, you didn't know that Dazai is a former Mafia member? A former executive?" Chuya replied making face the city. Pete blinks. Actually, that makes sense, why would Dazai approach him at the aquarium. But he has a feeling there's more to the man but he used to be part of the Port Mafia??

"I........I'm sorry that you went through something like that."

"Huh?" Chuya blinked.

"I am sorry that you were forced to join them after being betrayed by the other group you care about. It sounds like you didn't have a choice. The only choice you made is that you did it in order to protect them while wanting to live at the same time. Maybe your friends will understand....someday." Said Pete.

Chuya blinked at Pete and his....empathy. It's genuine and human. Dazai is right. Pete is more human than most of the Horrors. He doesn't know his life but based on his answer, it sounds like he had it rough. He closes his eyes as he sighs.

When the Entomancer looks at Chuya but he didn't expect his expression. The mafia executive looks at Pete with such annoyance as if he just offend him and shit in his cereal.

Huh?

"What?" Pete wondered if he said something wrong. "What's wrong?"

"Tch! What's wrong?! It's what you said that's wrong! I don't need your damn pity! Heck! I bet you're laughing inside!" He looks away with his arms crossed.

"I'm not." Pete said, looking at him in confusion. "What do you want me to say???"

"I don't know! Anything else besides that!?" Chuya exclaimed. "Besides...you shouldn't apologize for something you weren't there for! Now you make feel me bad!"

"Uhh...okay...uh....that sucks?" Pete asked making Chuya groan. "Forget it. I thought maybe I can kill some time by talking to you so I get something out of you or something but damn...I never thought you had the most boring reason to join a killer fraction."

"So you asked me that question just to kill time?" Pete said, looking at him with a face. Chuya shrugs.

Why does Pete even bother???

"Looks like you two aren't killing each other!" A chirp is heard making Chuya and Pete turned to the familiar voice. Chuya blinked. "Hold on! How long have you been standing here?!" He pointed at the person in question with his finger. Shrika.

Shrika tilts her head with a coy smile. "A while." She giggled.

"What is it?" Pete asked, getting straight to point.

"So far....from our end, there are no problems from the sky. Higuichi went back to report so I came here to check up on you two! So how is it going?"

"No activity yet," Pete said, thanking god that there is no activity! He can't imagine if he and Chuuya got into a battle right now. But the fates decided to laugh at him when his bugs picked up something.

"What?" Pete narrows his eyes to which Shrika picked, "Something wrong, Pete?"

"Grrrr.."

"Looks like you did find something." Shrika said.

"Finally some action!" Chuuya grinned making Pete slump his shoulders inside, wishing he can go home already. "Hey bug brain! Let's go! Where are they at?!"

I hate this job....Pete growled.

"At the far right downtown...." Pete tells him to which Chuya grins before he jumps off.

"Wow...he seems excited. Aren't you going after him?" Shrika said.

"I don't have a choice..." Pete answers and follows.

-----

Once the disastrous duo got to the scene...rather Chuya beat him to it as he had things taken care of. Pete didn't like how he got information out of people when most were being knocked out or ended up being dead by accident. Though...Pete did make sure none of their enemies escaped from their location as some of their enemies were now paralyzed.

However...that wasn't the problem. The problem is Pete trying to calm him down and prevent him from killing their enemies. He had to remember that Boss Mori wanted some of them alive.

"Hey! Knock it off! You're going to-"

"You know what?! I'm sick of you telling me what to do!" Chuya yelled.

"I'm just saying if you want to get things done right. You need to keep some of them alive for information!"

"Oh! So now you want to act smart?! The hell is your problem!"

"I got no problem! You're the one who has the problem! Your gravity manipulation is hurting my bugs!"

"Your bugs?! Oh sorry!" Then Chuya makes a face, "NO, I AM NOT! If you care so much about them, tell them to get out of the way!"

"Uhhhh...." The enemy gang members are staring at the two dumbfounded as they are sweatdropped. Are these guys for real? Forget Chuuya Nakaahra, but that bug monster is arguing with him. Are they working together or fighting each other!?

"Damn, bug! You know what?! I think we should fight. I never fought someone who controls bugs! This is the time I will beat you up for real!"

"You're joking right?" Pete can't believe what he's hearing. Then again...there are times when Pete wants to set Chuya straight. Maybe this is a good time to do that, right now.

"Do I look like I'm joking?" Chuuya activated his ability, surrounding his own body in a red aura. Pete breathes as he imbues his own suit in green aura. "Fine then! Let's see what you got-"

A swish is heard as the enemies look to see Chuuya's leg raised to the side and the head of the monster flying off. The spectators gasped in fright. He kicked this monster's head off. The monster's body drops to its knees. The head rolls over to the enemy leader who widens his eyes at this, takes a step back, and falls on his ass.

"OH SHIT!"

The enemies look between the mafioso and the monster arguing then before they know it. The headless monster rose from the ground and then several tendrils came out. Upon a closer look, the tendrils look like enraging centipedes with clicking noises. The enemies were now horrified and almost sick to their stomachs.

What kind of monster is this?

"Bastard...." The monster spoke. "You want to play like that, fine!" And then the windows begin to shatter, as a swarm of insects fills the area.

"Everyone get down!" Said the enemy leader as all of them dropped to their knees. They need to find a way to escape.

"Damn godfather wannabe bastard!" Pete's head is now picked up and is placed back on the suit, fixing it. Then with a raise of his hand, the swarm surrounds Chuuya. With a growl, Chuuya stomps his foot, bringing up rubble and hitting the bugs.

"Bring it, you fucking bug!" Chuuya shouted.

The enemy leader has no idea what's going on but he is not planning to stay here to see who wins. "We gotta get out of here!" He tells his men. They hightailed out of there as they heard crashing and cursing.

Pete bum rushes at Chuuya, grabbing him by the throat and pins him against the wall but Chuuya kicks him hard. Pete spits out a flying roach from his mouth to which Chuya yells in fright and gets out of the way.

"YOU SICK BASTARD! YOU THREW A COCKROACH AT ME?!" Chuuya yelled before bringing up a floor using his ability and throwing it at him. Pete easily smashes the floor and went at Chuuya with punches before striking him with a centipede. The two fight inside the warehouse to the point where it collapses upon them, creating a crash. Both emerged from the wreckage. Pete is missing an arm and a tusk. Chuya rolls his shoulder and is missing his hat. He growls.

Before they went at it. A voice stops.

"What do you think you two doing?" A grave voice stops them. Both turned their heads to see Sid and Gin who is sighing and shaking her head.

"You're supposed to bring down a group messing with your operations. What is this?" Sid asked.

Pete and Chuuya looked at each other, then saw the entire mess and pointed at each other, "HE STARTED IT!" They said in unison. Gin sighs loudly, "You guys."

"He kicked my head!"

"He spat out a cockroach at me!"

The two blame each other as they point at each other, listing what they did to each other. Sid stares wondering if Pete and Chuuya are acting like 5-year-olds fighting. Gin had enough, "QUIET! Just....enough. We're going back and you two explain to the boss what you did. Shrika and the rest already round up the enemy." She said, telling them.

Pete and Chuuya slumped their arms but both looked at each other with a glare. The girls turn their backs and lead.

--- At Port Mafia headquarters ----

They are waiting for their meeting with Boss Mori who is taking in reports from fellow Port members. Soon, it's going to be their turn to explain why a warehouse has collapsed on their turf.

Both are still roughed up as they are dirty. They grumble at each other.

"I hate you." Pete said.

"Like-fucking-wise." Chuuya said.

Another day has ended.

To be continued.

general questions - //what got you interested in roleplaying? //what do you consider your strengths as a writer? //what would you like to improve on as a writer?

original character writers - //is there a specific character archetype you enjoy writing the most? //is there a specific character archetype you find difficult to write? //how many ocs do you have? //what do you enjoy the most about creating ocs? //what do you find the most difficult about creating ocs?

what got you interested in roleplaying? I think... My sister? I feel like I remember my older sister introducing me to it, but then once I got into it, I loved it so much that just being part of it is what kept my interest all these years. I have always loved the escape from reality, because reality sucks, man.

what do you consider your strengths as a writer? Oop, forcing me to compliment myself how dare thee 😂 but in all seriousness, maybe, I guess, I always try to remember to go back and re-read my partner's previous replies so I don't contradict myself when I am making a reply. Sometimes this means going back a few previous replies. I don't like to contradict myself in my replies. If they're sitting on the couch, I don't want to randomly write them standing without them first getting up off the couch. If ya know what I mean!

what would you like to improve on as a writer? My communication. Now, it's definitely improved a ton since I was last on tumblr. I only came back here... Last year? In 2022. But I still need work in that department. My autism and adhd really makes proper communication such a massive challenge for me, and it's even harder when I have a tendency to read way too much into a message to the point that I end up believing the person is bored with me, doesn't wanna chat, is upset or mad and that I'm just a bother. The worst part about it is being consciously aware that this way of thinking is ridiculous and likely not true, yet being almost entirely powerless to not believe it with ever fiber of my being 🥴 but I do hope to improve my communication skills. especially when it comes to discussing like, super random shit like, ships? the dilemma of wanting ships and having 0 confidence to ever approach anybody for it lmaooo

is there a specific character archetype you enjoy writing the most? Soooo I had to google what "character archetype" even means, so bear with me here as I attempt to go by what google explained... Google used "hero" as an example, so uh, I'm going with the opposite of that. I like dark characters, I love morally grey characters who can tip the scale between being "good" and "bad. I love the type of character that the show tells you is supposed to be a villain, but you end up rooting for them instead of the "hero" of the show. And of course, a good back-story that explains why they are the way that they are, you know? They're not "bad" just because they woke up and chose evil. Although I ain't gonna lie, I do love my dark characters, so I'd enjoy that too! Which is kinda hilarious, because I as the mun, am the opposite of dark in real life. I require rainbows and unicorns every hour of the day or I'll cry thank you. But my characters have to be dark, k thanks. Remember, people, mun does not equal muse!

is there a specific character archetype you find difficult to write? Heroes, goody-two-shoes. A character that strictly follows all the rules and won't deviate, the strict "good guy." I just don't like characters like that, and oftentimes, the heroes in those superhero movies piss me off because listen up people, some of those super powered evil dudes ya'll be fightin' should be dead man because guess what happens when they ain't? They become the main supervillain for like 10 seasons of the damn show like COME ON man quit with the "the good guys can't kill" come on bro. The supervillain constantly escaping is the REASON your dang city is constantly in ruin everybody dyin' and shit. I mean, I can't be the only one who feels this way... Anyways. Yeah. Oof. Sorry.

how many ocs do you have? I have 17 original characters at the moment and I am kinda hoping to keep it there. Which is, basically everyone I have on this blog. If I were to make a new one, I think I'd have to retire some muses off this blog before I'd allow myself to write them. But I am happy with who I have. Everyone you see on this blog, are all the muses I have! Some are old muses that I have revamped... Nevaeh, Jamie & Aiden, Rex. Alpha is a muse I began making a few years ago and never finished until roughly, last year? Rex literally used to be a dinosaur dragon hybrid and a female.

what do you enjoy the most about creating ocs? The creativity. I love watching the supernatural creatures in tv shows and movies, and creating OCs gives me the opportunity to create a supernatural creature of my own creation to explore things that are not seen on tv! I love my spirit shapers, and I love the concepts I've put into Lakota and Lorelei, being able to create something that is entirely MY idea, my creation, that nobody else has ever come up with, really really means a lot to me. I just love having the freedom to come up with anything I want!

what do you find the most difficult about creating ocs? I like to have faceclaims with my muses, as I believe most people do. I find it difficult to find a FC that suits the muse. I don't pick FCs willy nilly, the face MUST match the vibe for the muse. They must be suitable. I need to be able to look at the face and be like, now THAT'S *insert name of muse.* Not just ANY face can portray my muse, and once I've chosen a FC, changing it — personally — would be like casting a brand new actor for the main character in your favorite tv show. Ya know what I mean?

Aside from that, their details. I put a lot of details into my OCs. I mean, I go a little overboard... My google slides are insane, but I just can't help it. I need the detail for myself if nothing else. I do my best to write out as much as I possibly can, and even then I could probably still improve BUT, compared to how I use to create OCs, I have gotten better at making characters. The hardest part is the back-story, coming up with something unique each time and avoiding any recycling of ideas from other muses.

And lastly... Portraying each muse in a way that they are their own person. Giving them their own unique personality, attitude, whatever, all that stuff that makes them who they are. I always worry that all my muses may sound the same or act the same.

[silencedrage]

my self indulgent list of ideas/dynamics/plots i want to explore - yj edition

pretty much exactly what the title says - these are mostly basic, half-formed ideas that have rapid cycled through my brain so if anything sounds interesting, come yell at me ty. nothing here is exclusive, meaning if, in the unlikely event that more than one person is interested in the same idea, i'm more than fine to explore it with multiple muns/muses because i believe each version will be unique in their own ways. the list below is also non-exclusive and i might add things to it over time, so just because it's not here doesn't mean i'm not interested!! also ocs/canons from other media are equally welcome, we will figure something out

l.ottie:

literally anything with l.aura lee

the 2 month gap between s1 and s2 in the 96 timeline - exploring a little more how they went from doomcoming to lottie leading the wilderness cult; was there ever a conversation about it with anyone?

lottie and travis over the years - it seems like trav was the only one who semi-stayed in touch with lottie, at least enough to be able to call her when he was in crisis (note: i don't view their relationship as romantic but it is Very Important to lottie)

v.an:

someone please give me natvan childhood besties and all the complexities that come with that (i.e., issues when taivan becomes a thing and tai/nat butt heads, the shit they go through in the trailer park with their parents, was van out to nat before the crash? is that why she was so casual about ben?, more strain when van starts following lottie, why don't they keep in touch post-rescue) - idk i just need it

the push-pull between tai and lottie. idk how this would get explored, i am just obsessed with this dynamic

post-breakup situationships where she gets her "needs met"; the rise of dating apps and how that affects her self-esteem, just mess

t.ai:

post-rescue (and breakup) fuckboi tai and some messy af situationships before she settles down with simone

secret meetings with shauna in the years between the timelines bc shauna had a nokia flip phone in her safe to contact tai like they were illicit lovers having an affair

tai and nat and their many discussions (and arguments) about rehab

s.hauna:

callie and/or jeff (that's it - i just need more of them)

pre-crash stuff that shows her relationship with the others outside of jackie, and also with jackie bc i feel like there's a difference between shauna and shauna when she's with jackie and that distinction comes out swinging in the wilderness

honestly like... anyone around wiskayok? could be a canon character, could be an oc, but i imagine she's almost like an urban legend around the town. other than misty, she's the only one who's stayed local (as far as we know) but on the surface she leads such a very normal, boring life. idk i just think locals would be so weird about her lmfao

n.at:

honestly any of the van/nat or tai/nat stuff that i talked about above

the on again-off again stuff with travis, the interplay with her stints in rehab, etc.

how her addiction affects her relationships with others: did she ever end up on shauna's doorstep, or van's before they lost touch? shauna doesn't trust nat in s1 and makes a lot of quips, and feels like maybe shauna's been burned by her addiction that we don't know about?

anyone she met in rehab, anyone she met in her addict circles, people who were around natalie at her lowest - who try and tempt her back, who want to see her succeed, former sponsors, people she's sponsored, etc.

anything with lisa, pls give me the babs

s.imone:

honestly i added her on a whim because i need to explore every possible permutation of simonetaivan in all of its glorious complexity

i'm trying not to delve too much into post-s2 stuff because i want to leave that for s3 so she's pretty open atm

khalida:

any and all versions of akilah pls

something with adult tai tbh? especially in a reality where akilah is not a survivor, i just think there would be something really fucking interesting to dig into there given what we've seen of akilah and tai's relationship

any of the other adult survivors too - the complexity of resentment that they made it back when Akilah didn't, while also wanting to ask them what happened to her baby sister. wanting to blame them but also seeing the horrors reflected in their eyes and knowing she could never fully judge them for anything they had to do to survive

i think the above would be especially funny/complex/tragic with misty, who probably has all of khalida's info when she kept tabs on everyone else too. misty being someone who knows what khalida will always want to know: what really happened to akilah. and misty knowing she'll never tell the truth but enjoying the power that simply having that knowledge gives her. is that fucked up? maybe, but is it anything more fucked up than what the show has already shown? not really

#[ ch: natalie scatorccio. ] #[ ch: lottie matthews. ] #[ ch: van palmer. ] #[ ch: shauna shipman. ] #[ ch: taissa turner. ] #[ ch: simone abara. ] #[ ch: khalida. ] #my queue is empty so i have no business posting this but #general reminder that i'm always open to plotting new things #i can be slow and sporadic especially while i'm working (which is almost always) #but i'm never not thinking about this show #spinning in my head like a rotisserie chicken

[constellationcrowned]

((This has been said numerous times on my other blog I know but it bears repeating (and definitely applies) here: If all of your interactions with me are going to be either ooc or on anon don't bother.

This is moreso about the anonymous messages than anything (although merely sending me some ooc thing and then never interacting in any other way is a problem I deal with on my other blog) and I want to politely remind everyone here that if you ONLY send stuff anonymously you're, primarily in the long run, wasting both my time and yours. I can (and happily will) interact with anons up until a point, hell sometimes a meme calls for it and that makes it more fun for whatever reason (I'm sure you guys know what I mean), but after awhile it's just....stifling. it gets fuckin boring really fast if I'm being blunt. There can be no real momentum, development, whatever you want to call it, and ultimately that's what I'm here to do. I'm here to write with people not just for people and in order to do that I need direct interactions with both muns and muses I that both I and my muses can actually name and get to know.

Anon has its place---it really, truly does if utilized correctly/for the right reasons (i.e; someone has anxiety and they need to use the anon function until they feel more comfortable)---and again I have to stress that I don't mind if it's for that sort of reason, applicable to a meme, on occasion, etc, but when you actively hide behind it? When you use it as a paltry excuse to give me bare minimum interaction and then say 'but look, we interact!' while never giving me anything else? When you hide behind anon because you have the misconception that I wouldn't want to interact with you/your blog for whatever reason because I'm scary, intimidating, or some other nonsense and refuse to get to know me or work through such assumptions? That's what I have an issue with. That's lazy and disrespectful. That's what makes me irritated---sometimes downright pissed if I'm being totally honest---because you're not achieving anything nor are you endearing yourself to me. All you're doing is denying yourself the opportunity to have fun and create some cool shit because you want to hide or refuse to communicate properly.

Even if you message me and say 'hey I want to plot/interact but don't know where to start, what should we do?' that's perfectly fine. That shows me genuine interest with the potential to go somewhere and guess what? I can (and will) help you. But I cannot help you if you only send anonymous messages because I'm not a mind reader nor am I going to beg, especially if it's something you should just tell me upfront if you're being honest, genuine, etc. If I know who you are and am aware of even the barest inkling of what you might want from me we can (and will, hopefully) figure out the rest together. But we cannot do that if open communication isn't coming from both sides.

I am not here to write with anons, I'm here to write with actual people please remember that and always keep it in mind before you message me.))

#;;ooc: psa #;;ooc: mun muttering #this is already starting to be an issue and I'm asking you guys to think about what you're doing; really think about it #because it's not cute it's tiring af in the long run and I cannot work with you if you refuse to even approach me properly

[malka-lisitsa]

Meet the mun!

name : November (Novi)

pronouns :  she/her

preference of communication : Discord for sure I hate tumblr IMS

most active muse :  Katherine, always Katherine. Though Death has been making an appearance a lot lately!

experience / how many years : Oh god idk, ive been writing since I was 13 but ive only been writing WELL for like the past eight years maybe?

best experience : Oh god, Idk! I've had so MANY but honestly probably all the love and support of the people I've met since I started writing Katherine on tumblr. Particularly I want to throw @unsettledspirits @baby-royalty @el3nas @bunnyblooded @ravenskeeper and @langdhon under the cat bus

rp pet peeves : People who don't write their characters correctly. Just make an OC and use a fc. I do not mean AU interpretations, I mean your muse as a person, the basic traits that make them that character.... there is more to writing a character than just saying you do. But that's just me being "elitist" and I will 900% lean into that i give zero shits.

fluff, angst, or smut : I get so BORED with fluff so FAST idk what that says about me but probably nothing good. So ANGST and if its done WELL I do love me a good smut thread ;)

plots or memes : Uhmmm either tbh. I dont usually do the ask to thread thing, I like ask for one shots OR ask trains. I also love plotting threads Like the one I have with @bunnyblooded for the rewrite the stars verse, and honestly all of my threads with @multi-royalty With Madison in the fire starter verse.

long or short replies : A lot of my particular writing style has a lot of internals and thought processes so even my short ones tend to be long.. which honestly gets overwhelming quickly when I have a million threads, so Im slower on replies... but I don't mind single para or even one liner chats sometimes! Those just don't tend to be long term threads.

time to write : Jesus its so sporadic. Honestly my biggest issue with writing is just doing it. Once I open the draft and start typing the reply comes out no issue, I dont even have to think it practically writes itself... but its the getting there that gets me. Every time.

are you like your muses : I am most like Katherine tbh (and Nova but that's cheating shes practically a self insert from my book) And because Im a lot like Katherine IRL I am also a lot like Elena, since they share almost all the same traits- good and bad. I can be like Lexi sometimes and Rebekah too. I am a social chameleon so really it depends on the people and situation im in, but I am most like Katherine. Yes that includes the over competitiveness, the selfishness, carefully and sometimes extremely poorly masked insecurity, and impulsive rage.

Get To Know The Mun

-----The Basics!----

Name: Madmud or (more commonly) Mud Pronouns: She/Her. They/Them is cool if you don’t know/are unsure, but I am definitely a She/Her so... use it please. Zodiac: Cancer Single/Taken: Single

-----Three Facts!----

I live on a farm and we use to butcher our own sheep for cheaper meat. Because of this, lamb became one of my favorites to eat and I froth at the price of it in grocery stores.

I also grew up with my dad taking grocery bags full of apples, peaches, and cherries off the trucks he drove for work, and thus became spoiled with free fruit so I also froth at the price of them in grocery stores.

I live and grew up in a desert climate, but would give anything to live in a more rainy one.

------Experience!-----

Platforms Used: GaiaOnline forums & guilds & DMs (previously), Guild Wars DMs (previously), RuneScape DMs (previously), Tumblr (current), Skype (previously), Discord (current) Plotting/Winging It/Memes: I like plotting but I don’t think I’m good at it most of the time, so it can take me a while to come up with something I feel is presentable. That, or I just start to feel bad because I tend to get too focused on my own characters when I should be offering something for everyone. Winging it is good too. It’s how most of my RPing goes these days because it makes for good in-between plot content and, if the stars align, could very well lead into a plot of its own making! Memes are great starters too. As good as any sentence/lyric starter I see floating around.

------Muse Preference!-----

Gender: I couldn’t give a shit. I write what/who speaks to me. Multi or Single: I generally keep my blogs single muse focused with sprinkles of NPCs to fill in some small roles as I need them. Jaden’s my only case of “broke out of the NPC status and became a full fledged character on their own” but I will not move him onto his own blog because there’s so much of his content here that I’d hate to disconnect him from it. Least Favorite Faceclaim(s): I generally don’t care who/what a person uses because we all see our muses how we see them and that’s that. But I definitely dislike face claims that are EXCEPTIONALLY gorgeous/sexy, or who do the freaking blank-face-expressionless model staring. The former is just a major turn off to me because I always get the sense that I’m supposed to automatically find this face claim (and thus the muse) attractive and I spitefully won’t, and the latter just peeves me because I personally like to use face claims and icons for examples of expression, so the sheer lack of expression defeats the whole purpose of everything to me.

------Fluff/Angst/Smut!-----

Fluff: I'm down for it but easily bored by it too since it often calls for everything to be feel-good, wholesome, pure, and just perfectly amazing the whole ride, which rapidly exhausts me. I like slice of life a little more. It’s less performative and can lead into whacky situations, which are very entertaining to me. Angst: Love it, but I’m also extremely picky about it. I do not like characters that are plagued by constant (or near constant) hardship/angst and I do not enjoy having anything/everything turned into a matter of angst. And I’ll admit I can be bad about the latter point so I don’t have much room to talk, but my god. Smut: I’m not opposed to it... with my shipping partners. Anyone else, no. Don’t even try it and don’t bother approaching if that’s all you want/write. I’m not into it. BONUS Shipping: I’m open to it but I generally prefer to ship with the partners and-or friends I feel comfortable and close with. I’m also a bit of a freak and can’t do 0-to-60 shipping. You open the gate with “okay so our muses are in love and this is how mine would say ‘I love you’ first to yours” I’m dipping because I need a feel for how our characters interact before I can even begin to speculate on how their relationship will be. BONUS Whump: See the attached image. (Follows a similar vibe to angst though; Too much of it all at once and I’m out.)

Muse talking about the mun || accepting

@ladiesofhell sent; ❄ Did the mun ever forced you to do something you didn’t want to do?  💧 How often do you annoy the mun? And with what?  🔥 How would you spend one day with the mun if you could? 

For both!

There came a short, puff of a laughter. "Nope, i-if anything, it's the opposite -- I force her to do shit she doesn't want to do -- but that's on her, sh-she should let me do what I want instead of being a bitch about it,"

"Apparently a lot, I-I talk a lot in the mindscape a-and she fucking ignores me half of the time," Blue eyes rolled, lighthearted but the annoyance he felt evident in the way he did it. "A-And when I'm extra bored, I-I poke around her thoughts and I leave my opinions. She doesn't appreciate it, but no one fucking asked for her opinion anyway,"

The next question required a little bit more brain power and the mun side-eyeing him carefully. There was something he wanted to say. Though, he wasn't allowed to say it -- so he would sigh and reluctantly give up.

"I-I don't know, maybe take her on an adventure or some shit, watch her freak out and scream at how fucking dangerous it is," Shrugging, at this point he looked tired. "She's easily scared of almost everything, but wh-who am I to deny her of her dream of interdimensional travel?"

"Y-Yeah, kind of -- there's, uh, things -- l-like doing embarrassing stuff or being stupid that I don't like doing, but she makes me do them anyway," For a brief moment, he looked down. His mind filling up with every time that he was put in a position to do something that only made him look like an idiot. "But, uh, I-I know she doesn't think I'm dumb, sh-she thinks I'm smart but, uh, she has me do stupid things anyway,"

This question took him a moment. Just a brief pause to think through it. "Uh, no. I-I don't really annoy her. Probably because I-I leave my section of the mindscape a lot to do other stuff, s-so I'm not around a lot unless I have to answer o-or reply to things,"

"I-I sort of answered this before, a-a while back, but probably video games," He gave a half shrug, eyes darting off to the side as he held onto his arm. "W-We could play them together o-or, uh, maybe watch movies or something."

#ladiesofhell #{ answers ; 🧪 } #{ ic ; 🧪 ; rick } #{ ic ; 🎮 ; morty } #fourth wall break tw #{ i swear Rick hates me today or something or he's just really salty xD } #{ and great i can't wait for the day where Rick takes me to some dimension and i almost get *killed* /s } #{ at least Morty just wants to play video games with me fhdsjkfds }

QUESTIONS FOR MUNS.

4. which muse of yours is your all time favorite? if you stopped writing them: why?

Honestly all the muses I've ever written over the years have been great! Picking a favourite would be terrible of me to do, not to mention difficult. They all have their pros & cons as individual characters. But let's just say that writing Joker (J, Uncle J, Jack) has been a very memorable experience for me. J was my "big comeback" to tumblr all those years ago & a character I had avoided writing despite my inner fan due to insecurity. But the experience was not only interesting in terms of research & development, it was a huge confidence booster, helped me improve my writing & was SHIT TONS of fun. And, despite what the naysayers preach, writing him saved my life - there was a point back then where I had reached a very dark place in my life & just tuning out of myself into J was an incredible aid which also helped me evolve on a personal level to a better, well-equipped human. Hence the tattoo I eventually had inked on my neck, as a way of saying thank you to the spirit of Joker & all the beautiful people that wrote with me & him.

Now here's the answer I expect many peeps want to know. I haven't stopped writing J persay. After writing him for more than 6 years, I think I've earned a break from him. Not to say that he's obsolete or boring to me now (though he's developed to a stage now where there's little more development needed), but I wanted to try something new as a writer that I hadn't done before, hence Leto. I made the decision awhile ago to stop forsaking Leto & give them my time & energy in order to really appreciate & develop them as opposed to only popping in & out on the rare occasion (which is why the observant few may notice the change in Leto as I get more comfortable with them). Plus, I cut my writing teeth on supernatural muses - J was my first venture into a human muse for a long time - and I wanted to go back to familiar territory. Of course I feel overshadowed by J but I want to focus on getting Leto to that stage of personal satisfaction. Again I apologise for this decision to the beautiful writers that adore J & want only him, I really am sorry to neglect ye like this after all yer support.... but please don't hate me or take that out on Leto.

9. when you look at a new blog, what is it that makes you press the follow button? is it the muse, the aesthetics, the writing–?

Oooh you wanna know my secrets, eh? Alright. I always read rules & bios & verses of a blog & a few threads before I follow them even if I'm familiar with or a fan of their muse. I want to see how well they know their muse, how well they write. A writer's rules can hint at how much experience they have & the type of person they are so I consider rules sorta like an introduction as to how well we as muns would get along. So basically if I like what I read, I'm sold. Nothing to do with aesthetics, themes, etc.

14. which roleplay community has been your favorite to write in?

The DCEU community here has by far been my favourite, closely followed by the BtVS community on Bebo. Both have been welcoming & blissfully free of drama, with kind & talented writers galore. There's a lot of support & rapport between writers regardless of canon characters / ocs.

RULES regarding RP below the cut for mobile users or easy access.

PS.: if you follow me but don't want to see my roleplay threads, please block the tag #rp

For the time being, this blog is mutuals only regarding rp. I am selective for my own mental stability but if you want to rp and have an idea, come talk to me. 

1. Do Not God-mode. 2. Plot, ask and anon-friendly, Canon and OC friendly but do not assume that the muses know each other, unless discussed. Multi-ship, multi-verse, multi-whatever-you-want, just talk to me. ⚠️ Warning !!! I WILL NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, ROLEPLAY A FICTIONAL CHARACTER (IN CHARACTER) WITH A REAL LIFE PERSON!  3. Superficial interactions and one liners don’t go very far with me. I get bored easy, sorry. 4. IMPORTANT: Once or twice I can accept one line replies but I will drop a thread if I am the only one that contributes to the action.  5. Do not hesitate to PM, ask, tag or approach me in any manners that you wish. If I do not respond, RL is in to blame, as it is crazy sometimes and it will take some time to answer. Don’t be insistent. 6. NO SMUT if you are not of age. Also I don't want to interact with children so please be 21+ ( Mun is 35+ yo.) 7. I reserve the right to be selective by compatibility and chemistry. Please don’t feel bad if I say no. Also, sometimes it takes me a while to warm up to the rp idea but I am open to give it at least a shot and see how it goes. 8. Memes, starters and asks are forever open and available even if they are centuries old.  9. NSFW content alert! It will be present and not always tagged.. I am the worst tagger in the history of tagging shit but if you come talk to me and want something tagged, I will be happy to do so. PS. I will use the tag: ‘dead dove: do not eat’ for exactly what it stands for and may not tag it as nsfw because the former tag says it all.  10. Ask/message me if something is confusing to you and I will be happy to explain and interact. 11. I will not follow or I will unfollow you if you don’t cut your damn threads! I don’t wanna scroll for 2 days just to get to the next post. 12. I do not rp A/B/O dynamics or Mpreg.

i’m still not feeling the drive to write, but i am gonna dick around on my blog, make some aesthetic changes maybe, and fight with myself whether or not i really wanna change up my muse roster (retiring some and hiring new) as well as scrapping this entire blog together and start anew.

#{is this just a moment i'll probably end up regretting later} #{or is this a thing i actually wanna do} #{who knows at this point} #{i feel like i'm spiraling into another 'writing crisis'....} #{are my muses boring? or am i just a shit mun?} #{*el dorado gif* both?} #out of words (ooc tag) #begone from existence (to be deleted)

PSA: Be Upfront

Communication is important in RP.

Now, to preface, I am not going to use the really awful phrase "it's a hobby not a jobby" because this is a really sketch take on what is important to people. You can have a hobby mean a lot to you, be you a collector, a gardener, someone that builds model airplanes, a writer, an artist, etc. Those are all hobbies, and the fruits of your labor are NOT only valuable to you and others if you are paid for them. This saying implies that should you never be a published author, never have a painting sell, never do something that can be sold or have a time clock punched, it doesn’t at all matter. It’s a really discouraging thing to be telling people, quite honestly. I have multiple hobbies outside of RP. Kind of really sucks to see constantly they don’t matter because nobody pays me for what I do. I know I’m not the only one who has said this, but the majority aren’t willing to say it amongst the clamoring of ‘rp isn’t a job’ because then you get people jumping down your throat. Hear me out though! I’m not done.

“BUT I HAVE REAL LIFE!”

Yes! So do we all! We all have problems, and things to take care of. The RPC is littered with people with mental illness, neurodivergence, chronic physical illness (I hit all three categories multiple times, LUCKY ME!). Do not, I repeat, do not ever feel like you need to put RP before: bills, marriage/children/other relationships, your health. Literally, do not have your takeaway from this post be these are secondary to your hobby. They are not. Do not get evicted because you were too busy doing RP at your desk at work, that’s just plain dumb af.

You owe people decency means:

-if you can only do aesthetic posts this week because you are low on writing spoons, that’s fine

-if you had work/health/mother-in-law take over you life this week and you literally didn’t have time to log-in even though you wanted to, that’s fine

-if you are sick in bed and can’t bother to write, that’s fine

What it also means:

-dropping what was supposedly a years long ooc friendship because the other mun isn’t dropping their current muse for you and following you into a different fandom ‘because they’re now boring’ and telling them as much in a message...is shitty behavior.

-daily reblogging multiple memes that people are sending in to you, your wire, your discord, ignoring both those and messages to plot, then whining on the dash that no one wants to write with you (also known as trying to guilt trip interaction, obviously you only wanted it from one specific person not the people actively engaging you)...is shitty behavior.

-claiming you’re open for plots and memes, then only replying to the one or two people consistently for 6 months...is shitty behavior.

Again, in case it wasn’t clear- it’s your blog, it’s your life, it’s your health. That’s not in question.

HOWEVER- be upfront and give people some honesty! What do I mean by that?

If it’s feasible, post that you need a writing break, even if it’s going to be indefinite. Take as many fucking breaks as you need to for your physical and mental health to be the best they can be (I’m not going to say great, as I know what it’s like to just have a ‘good’ health day mean ‘it’s less shit than it could be’).

But if the situation is really you only want to write with these one or two people, just say so! It’s your blog, you’re allowed to decide you’re closed for plots, asks, etc. Just don’t lead people on. Don’t say something and mean something else. Don’t keep reblogging your promo and really you don’t want to write,  and you don’t plan on taking on new mutuals, and don’t plan on replying to dms or threads from anyone else.

I’ll repeat it a little differently to be sure it’s clear- you dictate your activity level and number of mutuals, when you answer asks, threads, etc. This should be at a level that is suited for you and your life, health, etc.

BUT when you engage in RP you are involving someone else’s free time with yours, and it is not fair to them to act like they do not matter. You have involved someone else. Until you disengage from them, be courteous.

I’ll give you an example. When you ask for that starter on both your dash, then DMs, and act super hyped, getting the other mun excited for it, and then they put the time and effort into writing it up and posting it for you, expecting a reply? Only for you to go and make new blogs and immediately ditch that muse without a heads-up? That’s not really fair to the other mun. You communicated you wanted to write this, you hyped them up, they spent their time and writing spoons on your starter...and then you told them other people were more exciting and a better use of your time.

“BUT I DIDN’T TELL THEM THAT!”

Okay, so you didn’t message them ‘Hey loser, your starter sucked, your muse is boring, and honestly, a different fandom is better! Bye!’ But your actions sure give that impression, and unless you communicate otherwise, it’s a shitty move.

Now yes, sometimes you genuinely forget a starter was written because you thought it was drafted and it wasn’t, dumblr is an ass and loses your draft and then you forgot it, something came up that day and bumped it from your mind, etc. NONE OF THESE ARE WHAT I AM REFERRING TO. I have ADHD, object permanence is the thing my brain does where often unless it’s directly in front of my face, it doesn’t exist, until I find it again. I’m aware these things happen, as are most muns, and we don’t mind! Hell, we usually have in our rules “hey if it’s been a hot minute and we haven’t replied to this, feel free to give us a little nudge to see if it’s been lost” because we all know between brains and dumblr’s everlasting fuckery...shit gets lost.

I’m talking about those times where you just up and leave someone hanging without communication. I’m also not saying it might even be on purpose. What I’m saying is you should consider how other muns feel when you do this, and if you cannot avoid it, at least communicate with them.

“Hey, I’m just no longer going to be writing this muse. Sorry I had you write that starter. Do you want to try something with this new one? This is where my brain is at right now.” “Hey I really can’t be online this month thanks to fill-in-the-blank but I do still want to write when I am able.” “Hey, I see you sent in that ask. I’m only interested in this one ship, and I won’t be taking on new threads, but you’re welcome to follow and maybe I’ll take on new threads later. I’m just writing with these two people right now.”

Communication is something that is a requirement in a collaborative hobby.

I know it can be scary. I know the mentality ‘well they reblogged that meme but it’s not for me, I know they said they want to plot but they don’t mean me’, but you really have to get past that when you roleplay to be fair to other people.

Spoiler alert: the examples of shitty behavior further above are what help feed this ‘that post/meme isn’t for me’ mentality, when you do those things you’re fostering people’s anxiety and rejection sensitivity...just saying.

If someone gets mad at you for communicating with them, they’re a shitty person and block them. Literally if someone has a problem with you for trying to start something, especially as mutuals, you’re losing nothing by not writing with them. Find nicer people. So don’t  be afraid to communicate you can’t write currently, you need a break, you’re only writing with these certain people. And don’t be afraid to send in the meme. I promise you, the right people appreciate courteous communication. The ones that don’t...

Again, no one is saying put your life on hold for RP, you’re never allowed to narrow your scope, you’re supposed to always have writing spoons, you need to produce five replies a day or you’re wrong, you always need to log-in to communicate you had a family emergency/depressive episode/etc.

What I am saying, is if you are capable of communicating, respect the time and energy of your fellow muns who may also be very low on spoons and free time themselves, and be honest about where you are at when it comes to taking on new threads, new asks, new partners, etc. Treat others how you want to be treated, and consider you probably wouldn’t like being on the receiving end of the behaviors I’ve described. If you need to be on the clock being paid to be a nice person...please re-evaluate.
