Dagon's speech and Curlish ex machina.

Fuck Armageddon! Universe won't allow it. Thanks to andagonistic holistic physics and its agent Curlish.

No more war! No more killing! And no more assassinations either.

what would you do if someone gave you a death note

Honestly I don't think there's really a point in using a death note since everyone here reincarnates anyway. They'd just come back. That being said,

Meet up for tea at Celesteal????

Yes. Should I send a letter regarding the details? I have missed our weekly chats, but in your absence, I have been enjoying the hibiscus tea you sent me. I look forward to seeing you again soon.

hiii mr hidelord! what are you up to tonight?

...What am I up to? Oh, you must be asking about my death toll. I'm not sure you'd like to be privy to that information, truth be told, but I have this post here where I grind my knife into whenever I finish a new pelt.

He gestures to a jagged wooden poll in the middle of his room. The wood is cut so often it's beginning to splinter at the core.

Brave brave little thing though, aren't you? Having the guts to show your fuckin' face in my parlor? Normally, I'd consider you the dumbest sot to roam this neck of the Safari. Oh, I'd stab stakes through your wrists and hang you from the roof while the carrion-beasts pecked out your eardrums before I got to work on you. Then I'd most certainly be up to something tonight, hmhm...

He sighs, playing with the tip of his knife with a finger.

On the other hand, your little friends with the formless bodies prying about my love life are so much more irritating to me. So, if you tell me who might be asking these questions, I might keep you as a pet if you don't further try my patience.

For the record, I'd consider your position veeeeeery carefully. A cage for the night is more merciful than being my next pair of moccasins, boy.

#thanks for the ask! #homestuck rp #fantroll rp #the hidelord #don't worry #while he is being serious about this deus ex machinas go crazy and annoy this man #he's the worst and deserves it

me wanting q!bad spotlight moment is just me being greedy SO i will say my one actual criticism with today's lore is that if they're gonna nerf dapper, they gotta make it more believable. i think pomme being lured out by butterflies was a great way to nerf her in a rp-way, for example.

kinda like with the code, if dapper and bad are too op, you gotta find a cool way to work around that! i really hope in the future there's not many deus ex machina moments like that cause seeing dapper and bad struggle despite their strength is wayy more interesting

#btw /i/ dont see this crit posts as neg bc i will eat up anything bad does #but lmk if yall want em tagged! #also ik its due to fed interference #but in my mind thats still a bit deus ex machina

It occurred to me that I've been on this hellsite for FIFTEEN YEARS.

phil isn’t clear on the game he’s playing and it’s causing a problem (mainly for phil)

mayli sent me a clip of philza freaking out about tallulah’s death the other day and i thought about it for like 24 hours

and i think the problem here is that phil isn’t really clear, in story-heavy moments, what he’s doing here

phil is a hardcore player. he expects very consistent outcomes. he KNOWS how to play this game, he’s GOOD at this game, and he expects, reasonably, to continue to be good at minecraft. so when faced with a confrontation with the code monster, where he cannot succeed because the plot requires something to happen to Tallulah (and honestly they’ve given a lot more leeway than they had to there; it was signposted from literally minute one that ‘in order for this to proceed, the eggs cannot stay’, and they’ve made a LOT of accommodation, from revivals to adding Tallulah and Richarlyson to adjusting the tasks to straight up the last day for the eggs not actually being the last day)--it feels unfair! he’s good at this, so he should be able to succeed, and then when tallulah dies anyway, he freaks out.

and it’s not as if the guy can’t RP. his very first interaction on the DSMP started with wilbur telling him outright “there is nothing you can say to me that will keep me from pressing this button”. there, the outcome was known, if not the path; the idea was to tell the most interesting and tragic story on the way there.

there’s no wilbur here; the man behind the curtain isn’t available to interact with. the admins and DMs are largely separate entities from the players, and as far as we’re aware, they don’t talk with them. and while that might seem like a good idea from a mystery standpoint--

just from a personal standpoint, i do MCRP, and i’ve had a lot of bad dms and a few good dms. and the good dms all, largely, told us what was expected. they signposted what was going on, and talked to us behind the scenes. not giving away answers or the mystery, but being something beyond an External Force That Moves The Plot. beyond a deus ex machina. 

and, critically, if i lash out at my friends who are DMing for us because i didn’t like how something went, i a) can talk to them tomorrow ooc with a clearer head and say ‘hey, sorry about that, i’m still kinda salty but i see that that was you doing your best for the plot’ and b) didn’t do that in front of a few thousand people. even if phil can contact the admins on his own ooc (not through quackity), he can’t exactly apologize and work out plot details in front of the same crowd that is now all up in arms about the eggs.

Something Has To Happen To The Eggs To Keep Going. That’s been signposted from minute one and I think that the fandom and a lot of the creators forgot about that, probably because they seem to be a lot less involved with the actual creation of the story. which, imo, can end up being....less fun. like sure, you want people to unravel this mystery you’ve created--but if they don’t feel like active participants, like they’re just being shoved along a plot they don’t understand, you get Phil freaking out on stream.

anyway either phil needs to learn to rein in his reaction or the admins need to reevaluate communication with the players before someone in the fandom fucking doxxes someone over it cause. you know someone would. you know it.

Is there anything you would have changed when you started writing now that you have more experience?

|| Mun Questions ||

Not really! I wouldn’t write the same way I did when I first started, of course, but I feel like it’s important to just be a lawless vagabond when you start out. Make those self-inserts. Let the canon characters think your OC is great. Bring in those ex-machina plot points every other chapter. Just go wild and WRITE, similar to how drawing starts as scribbles and doodles. You built it up over time and practice and inevitably improve.

For RP specifically, one thing I do keep in mind is a certain emotional distance. I was heartbroken the first time I realized that someone I thought was my friend really wasn’t very interested in me beyond my RP blog— but really, that’s what we’re all here for. To write! It’s ok not to become friends outside of that or to have no interest in becoming friends outside of it. So I think that’s one thing I would change just to save myself that moment of hurt haha

instead of a brain, i have kira nerys instead

i read/watch/listen to financial sector news like it's tabloid news it's a toxic trait

i have an unfortunate addiction to gacha games

— EXPERIENCE! ♡

PLATFORMS USED: let's see... facebook, livejournal, dreamwidth, gaia, twitter, deviantart, youtube, aim, msn, skype, email, a multitude of forums, tumblr, discord — yeah i've been around the block

PLOTTING / WINGING IT / MEMES: i'm chill with all actually. sometimes a plot can come out of winging things and sometimes when you intentionally try to plot it might just not come so... i'm pretty fluid.

— MUSE PREFERENCE! ♡

GENDER: gender is a social construct

MULTI OR SINGLE MUSE: in theory i like multis more but i have adhd brain with a dash of autism prolly so... i end up with single muses usually

LEAST FAVOURITE FACECLAIM(S): i'm too tired to list tbh but there are people i guess

— FLUFF / ANGST / SMUT! ♡

FLUFF: if by fluff we mean soft things then absolutely! i love fluff also in just slice-of-life / "no substance" because there's something nice about just writing relaxing stuff. honestly, yeah i love fluff — kira deserves it after the life she's lived!

ANGST: contrary to popular belief, i don't intentionally gun for angst. it's not that i don't like it, i just don't like it when it feels like we're doing pain/trauma porn for the sake of hurting. i don't purposefully try to deux ex-machina the worst trauma inducing events onto my characters... they already do that to themselves most times. but i do like exploring the raw, the nitty gritty, the difficult emotions —— BUT i guess the tldr is that i don't like to write angst for angst sake (i can already hear my rp partners heckling me but not my fault y'all chose to write with the walking embodiment of p much every type of trauma)

SMUT: i mean it can be fun and we all know how thirsty major kira can get .... so like. yeah. i can write it. i can thread it. but i can't guarantee i won't end up bringing up some heavier stuff in it HHH

WHAT LOOKED LIKE A GARDEN WAS A GRAVEYARD ALL ALONG.

BLOODYHISTORIE. is an independent & original dual muse rp blog for anne & blanche ozanne of my original play, these bloody histories. an adaption of the bluebeard folktale. written by bee (25, she/they, est).

tldr ; bluebeard, but there are no deus ex machina brothers. blanche marries bluebeard & anne and blanche save themselves (with help from a ghost).

rules.

this blog is selective & mutuals only. prefer plotting-based.

anne & blanche are from my own original play these bloody histories. please don't steal anything of them or their plot.

at this moment in time this blog is iconless because i don't feel like making more, but that is subject to change when i get bit by the iconning bug! fcs are dakota fanning for anne and elle fanning for blanche.

the themes and imagery of violence, specifically violence towards women, death, murder, misogyny & sexism, gore, body horror, blood, and hauntings will be on this blog. they will be tagged. all triggers will be tagged as trigger /. these triggers are all highly tied to the themes and setting of this story and will be unavoidable on this blog, so while they will be tagged it might be best to avoid following if any of these are highly triggering for you!

basic rp rules apply. no godmodding. do not follow or interact if you're racist, homophobic, write things like in*est, etc.

basic plot & character outline.

(this is serving as a general about until i make a carrd, and is essentially a scene by scene outline of the play.)

two sisters live once upon a time ( questionably period france ). anne is the elder sister and reviles what society expects of her, preferring to bury her nose in a book or attend a symposium rather than dance or think of marriage. blanche, the younger, is the image of a perfect lady and excited at the prospect of the future - if a little naive about it.

anne is 23 & blanche is 20. on blanche's 20th birthday, a man named bluebeard comes to blanche's birthday ball. anne - who knows that bluebeard has five dead wives, including the sister of a childhood friend of hers - is wary, but blanche is not. bluebeard gives blanche a diamond necklace and invited anne, blanche, and their mother to gala hosted by his wife in a fortnight.

anne is forbidden by their mother to tell blanche about her reservations about bluebeard. an unseasonably cold storm for mid-spring makes their trip to bluebeard's chateau take longer than it ought to, and upon their arrival there are no other guests & no sign of a gala.

bluebeard tells them that his wife, delphine, grew ill and passed away between the last time he saw them and their arrival, and that word of the gala being cancelled must not have reached them in time. he insists they stay for a few days before heading back.

lights flicker. chairs move on their own. a tea-tray all but throws itself off a table. bluebeard insists it is nothing to be worried about - drafts and odd quirks of an old home. mother & blanche agree to remain polite, anne grows more and more suspicious.

anne & blanche quarrel frequently as blanche & bluebeard grow closer over the course of their stay. anne admits she believes bluebeard is a murderer, and blanche believes anne is jealous of her & worried blanche will leave her to get married. they argue several times, which only serves to drive blanche further from anne and towards bluebeard. the two have an explosive argument wherein anne calls blanche a fool and blanche calls anne controlling.

bluebeard proposes to blanche & blanche accepts. anne sees the ghost of a bride and tries to warn blanche, who is unreceptive. blanche & bluebeard are wed quickly. anne returns home with mother.

a handful of months pass in which the sisters scarcely communicate, until anne receives a frantic sounding letter from blanche imploring her older sister come to the chateau post-haste.

when anne arrives, blanche is a wreck and tells anne that bluebeard is out of town for several weeks and left blanche with the keys to the home and permission to enter any room but one she had never been in before. she had, of course, entered - to find a blood-soaked chamber containing the dessicated remains of several corpses. strange occurrences had picked up their frequency and the spectre of a bride has been flickering in and out of sight. blanche wants to run, but anne convinces her to lay a trap.

bluebeard arrives home and quickly discovers that blanche has opened the door and seen what is inside, but does not know anne is at the home. when he threatens blanche, telling her she must die because of what she has seen, anne pounces. in a protracted physical fight bluebeard nearly gets the upper hand on blanche & anne, who wield what weapons they could find in the house vs his sword, but the spectre of his past wives aid anne & blanche. bluebeard is killed by the sisters and the spirits of the women he has killed, who are then able to move on peacefully.

blanche & anne disguise the fact bluebeard ever arrived home and spread word that he was killed while away. no one mourns him. blanche, a wealthy widow, invites anne to live with her at what is now her chateau. life continues.

Hey Siri, how was your time guarding Tartarus? Were there visitors in the beginning as well or just when it was blown open?

it sucked. they didn't pay me. there were some visitors at first but then after most people reincarnated they kinda stopped. eventually the entrance eroded a bit and was covered up, which was fine by me because less work. then someone had to go and uncover the entrance 🙄

I probably shouldn't be happy that the titans were released but it did get me off the hook from that job so... I do kinda miss tartarus tho. gotta go visit it sometime

How do you feel about Siri's horse sanctuary?

Hello Leaf. I think Siri’s horse sanctuary is a wonderful thing. I have seen (and been tormented by) many skeleton horses on the server, so their sanctuary provides a safe place for horses who otherwise would not have a home (and who would kill me if given the chance). I enjoyed spending my time in their pasture and barn during my recent stay at Siri’s home. Don’t tell the other horses, but I think Calendula is my favorite.

anon or not, send me   ‘ 📖 ‘   and i will explain a situation / setting i’ve wanted to place my muse into, but haven’t had the chance to, yet. 

// I'M NOT GOING TO LIE. I don't really have a big rp wishlist. I'm here for the vibes. But honeys like the perfect essential quest npc. She does a bunch of random deus ex machina stuff involving magic. Or making armor, weapons, and clothes. LIKE. I WANT PEOPLE TO COME TO HER TO SET UP JRPG QUEST TYPE STUFF. I THINK IT'D BE FUN.

are you the author of the tf2 fanfiction ex machina? if so i have a question, to which i understand the awnser is most likely no (thus why im asking on anon.

can i rp mal? im kin with him and i promise not to do it anywhere other than my five freinds and i's rp groupchat.

i apologise sincerely if this is weird/rude/otherwise bad and i would like to request that you not yell at me

I gotchu. Questions like this I tend to answer anonymously regardless of whether or not someone is anon, just in case. And yeah, I'm the author.

And no worries, I appreciate that you asked. I know I tend to get protective of my OCs and AUs and such, so I might be a daunting person to ask, whoops. But yeah, go for it! As long as character credit is given and all that, I don't mind at all!

I genuinely had no idea anyone kinned Mal, especially after all this time, and honestly I'm pretty flattered djdsbsbsbsb (and speaking of him, I'm once again deeply considering tackling a rewrite; I'm just not sure how I'm gonna balance that with my current WIP fic yet lol)
