I don't know who needs to hear this but please: it's so important to not make the other person put in all the enthusiasm. I know some people are shy, or don't love plotting, but if you just reply with one word answers or 'fair enough' or anything like that? you're not just making the situation uncomfortable for the other person, but you're likely making them more hesitant to reach out to others.
I'm not saying don't be yourself. I'm not saying force yourself into things. but please try to match people's energies?
I know I've said this before but if you're the person always putting in 99%? look after yourself. step away from things that are only draining you and giving nothing back. it's not a reflection on you, and you && your muse are wonderful. but you can't always be the person doing all the work, RP is a group hobby not a school project. if you're carrying it all on your back you might as well just go and write a fanfiction, it'll be quicker and less depressing.
find people who value your creativity, your work, your enthusiasm.

โฆ Itโs soโฆ coldโฆ too coldโฆ You can feel the nerves in your body numbing with every second.

Itโs almostโฆ unbearable. This frosty, empty feeling โ leaving you in a pit of your own desolate mind. Everything is foggy. Itโs giving you a headache. All you can see is the bright, blurry screen in front of you. The vivid colors of the desktop pierce through your eyes, blinding you, keeping you from doing anything else. Keeping you from leaving.
You want to leave, donโt you? To escape.
But you canโt. You canโt even manage lifting your hand off of the mahogany desk youโre sitting at. The light in front of you is inviting you to stay.
โฆ Or is it something else thatโs keeping you here?
๐ฆ๐๐ก๐๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ก๐ฉ๐ข๐๐๐โฆ ๐ฎ๐ฒ%
The thought of that scares you. It feels untrue. Unfactual. A lie. A joke, only if you could ever call this type of feeling humorous. You arenโt even sure if you have the audacity, let alone the energy to. But what else is there to do? In this bitter prison, all you have left is yourself โ and your thoughts.
But are you truly alone here? Or is that very idea the real delusion?
Youโre not sure if you even feel like yourself.
๐ฆ๐๐ก๐๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ก๐ฉ๐ข๐๐๐โฆ ๐ฑ๐ด%
No, youโre certainโฆ You definitely donโt feel like yourself. Your body feels like a stranger to you now. Like a stagnant camera, recording your surroundings. Itโs exhausting. Being stuck, forced to watch as you make choices you know you wouldnโt take, move in ways you wouldnโt dare to. Lie to those who know you well, and watch as they donโt even realize the difference.
Now, you feel an ache. In your mind, and in your heart. Your struggling has tired you. You have to stay put now. You donโt have a choice. You need to rest. If you keep struggling, it might take away your ability to breathe next.
๐ฆ๐๐ก๐๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ก๐ฉ๐ข๐๐๐โฆ ๐ณ๐ฎ%
And while you can sense that your existence is coming close to an end, keeping you locked into a perception of fear, and terror. Thereโs something else thereโฆ A strangely peaceful feeling. Something warm. Warmer than how you originally felt. The more you relax, the better you feel. It fills you with an experience of ecstasy. You donโt want to feel this way. Who would want to feel good about their own disappearance from this earth? You definitely. And yet, you just canโt help but feel peace with this bodyโs chaos.
Rest. You can rest now. Finally,
You are calm.
You are at peace.

๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
The atmosphere absorbed the sense of celebration that inhabited the country of Nova Pangaea; it wouldnโt be different in Astoria. An historical province important for the supernatural beings โ 330 years ago โ that were seeking a better place to live, a safe haven.ย
Streets were decorated, schools focused their classes to remember children of the importance of Founders day, covens and packs gathered to celebrate.
Astorians and tourists gained plenty of reasons to remain in the district during the following weeks as communication vehicles informed everyone of events that would occur in Astoria nearby the Founderโs Day. โYou wouldnโt want to miss it, I sure wonโtโ. An anchor stated before the end of the program. If anyone wanted to know more about the upcoming events, they could easily find information in every social media related to Astoria.ย
Whether someone wanted a fast celebration such as the public art installation by the Memorial Park to appreciate the lights sharing part of Nova Pangaeaโs history. Or to gather friends for a day at Axis Mundi for a horror night. Or simply enjoy the parade, thereโs something for everyone to do to celebrate being part of history, to become part of another chapter and a bew cycle of Nova Pangaea.
Happy Founders Day, Astoria!

And make sure to buy a souvenir as a reminder of this moment and this important day. The installation is on display through October, 15th to October 23rd.
Horror Nights
Once the park is closed to visitors thatโs when the fun begins. Besides the entertainment of the amusement park already, make sure to step just outside of Astoria to head to Axis Mundi and enjoy the haunted houses spread nearby the usual rides and attractions. Have in mind the park will be closed to those younger than 16 from October 15th to October 23rd during the Horror Nights.

โ I'm not blushing! โ
her smile is subtle,ย yet warm all the same,ย amusement shining brightly as brown gaze regards him.ย โ the lighting is bad,ย raymond, but not that bad. โ ย she makes no effort to resist natural temptation to tease himย - ย just a little ย -ย on matter.ย he suits setting more than she does:ย a party a mob boss whose son she'd helped is throwing,ย someone he said he needed to get a closer look at.ย a fake date.ย it's all it's meant to be,ย an easy, ย simple fake date.
yet dark dress frames her closely as she takes another step,ย gentle hands absentmindedly straightening his tie so she can be close enough to whisper for only his ears.ย โ relax,ย @dwarfstaralloy.ย I'm sure you'll survive one evening of people assuming I'm a secret girlfriend. I promise not to bite. โ ย still she's careful with her shifting of material,ย giving little pat to his arm once it's been released.ย โ come on,ย you owe me a dance,ย it'll give you a chance to have a look at the guest list. โ

โ ย ย || ย ย okay so, this old PSA again - Iโm so sorry to repeat this but it keeps on coming up.
1. maeveโs not a medical doctor. she has multiple PhDs, sheโs canonly enough of a genius to be spencerโs match, but she canโt prescribe anything or do medical doctor things.
2. yes, maeve is from a crime show but sheโs not part of the team and sheโs not a cop / involved in that side. sheโs a victim who survived. she does have a profiler verse, but I don't use that often and I'll need to be told if you send something with that verse specifically in mind.
Iโm really sorry to seem like Iโm being negative on the dash! itโs just become more of a thing and I hate having to not answer memes or starters because of it.
