[nectaric]

happy birthday, zeus !! (may 24)

in honour of ten years of zeus birthdays (and 11 years of writing him), i wanted to do a little something to celebrate all my amazing roleplay partners and talk about how important y'all have been in either a) influencing my writing, b) influencing my portrayal, or c) being a reason i want to come here and write ten years later.

as many of you know (or are about to learn), zeus has been the actual love of my life for over a decade now. he was one of the first characters i ever roleplayed, and i have stuck with him pretty consistently this whole time. i could wax poetic forever about how much he means to me, and how important writing him has been in my life, but i'll spare you all a glimpse into my crazy. just know, zeus means the world to me. and if he has gone through growth in all the time we've worked together, then so have i. i was an extremely nerdy, extremely obsessive little teenager in her basement bedroom with big dreams and now i'm married, working the job i have always wanted, with a beautiful dog and big plans. it feels kinda crazy that i get to share so much of that with all of you.

and so many of you amazing people have been apart of that journey or have just joined and are giving me reasons to keep writing!

it wouldn't be right if i didn't start off with @ichoric. accepting me into your little roleplay group almost 11 years ago literally changed the trajectory of my life. you are literally one of my best friends in the entire world - we have seen each other grow through so much, have been there for each other through good shit and the bad. not only have you seriously influenced me as a writer through all of our shenanigans (drowning hazel, titans 2, scary ares, the time we sat next to each other on my couch and roleplayed the entire aphrares wedding for hours), but you have genuinely influenced me as a person. forget how much i love your portrayals, and the depth and creativity you pour into them, so much life and love and intensity that is a delight to behold - but so much of becoming who i am now has been with you at my side and i love you so much i'm lowkey crying as i type this. thank you for 10 + great years and i can't wait for more!

@kissofthemuses amber, i think getting to write zeus / hera with you permanently altered my brain chemistry. its crazy to think about just how long we've actually known each other -- but getting to see everything you get up to, all your cosplaying and adventures, has been a gift <3 not only do i feel like i have become a more mature individual thanks to being taken under your wing a little, but i also feel as though my zeus has fundamentally changed because of your portrayal and that's so powerful.

@pistolslinger nat maybe i'm just an emotional goober but you have always been such a beacon of light on my dash, long before you went off and became a crow. writing with you has always been so wonderful and enriching and i just know i can count on your for a laugh or heartbreak or general tomfoolery. never mind that you're so kind and open to everyone you seem to come across, but you're also really talented??? in so many ways???? i still think about our jason n zeus superhero au sometimes. incredible, thank you <3

@stygicniron talk about an og!!! hilary, we have been writing together for so long and every interaction is an absolute gem. you and i have been in the trenches of this fandom and somehow come out the other side relatively unscathed and i know part of that is how kind and wonderful and creative you are, but also because of how talented and solid your portrayal of nico is. i have seen few people have as good of a grasp on a character as you and its always an absolute joy to get to write anything with you. thank you for coming on this journey with me!!

@littleblackqrow khristle, you have been such a constant in my online life for years its genuinely difficult to remember a time before we followed each other and wrote together. the fact that i get to write with you despite fandom changes (because you have impeccable taste) is really so awesome and i've just really loved getting to write with you, talk with you ooc, and just experience being your rp partner for so long. between apollo, qrow, and grif, we've written so many heartwrenching and hilarious things, and i'm just super grateful you've been here !

@rheaeaseandflow marie i think you are one of the people i have been writing with the longest and don't think that goes unnoticed! your rhea is incredible and has honestly helped me to form so many important headcanons and opinions about my own characters that i think is so significant. you have always been this kind, warm, welcoming presence who i always look forward to writing with, and when i think about the "early days" of zeus i often think of you!

@singofus apis i literally cannot imagine this little corner of the rp world without you. i think greek myth and you are one of the first people who comes to mind. i remember when you and i both wrote significantly less muses on different blogs, but now we're here with our hoard, and our beautiful little headcanons we're still getting to develop, and its genuinely made my time here so much more enjoyable! you're so creative and thoughtful and you have seriously influenced so many of my portrayals i wouldn't even know where to start. here's to a lot more writing, and a lot more time well spent!

@asoulunbound krys!!! greek myth without you is like a pb&j without the pb. you occupy such an important space in this community and also just. in my world and i genuinely appreciate how much thought you put into your muses and the generosity you show to others. not to mention, the fact that you and i engage in very similar niche communities makes me feel so much more connected to you and i enjoy getting to write with you and see you on my dash so much !

@seekesotsibteadmist kyrian if there was an award for most supportive roleplayer ever it would be you. i feel so seen by you and you're so encouraging no matter what the circumstances are. i love getting to write with you (honestly, i could be better about it) because i can just feel the love and creativity you throw into S. i always enjoy getting an ask from you or seeing your ic posts and i am so grateful to have you in my little world, so thank you.

@seaprofound another day, another og !! gods sunny i feel like we have known each other for decades at this point - i think of this rpc, and i think about you and the constant beacon of sunshine (pun intended) you have always been. the absolute depth of your devotion to poseida is astounding and your love and care for the people around you is an example i think a lot of us could learn from. thank you for being so authentic and kind and creative and a part of my life for so long!!!

@stolenbythegods beth i know we don't write as much together these days but i will genuinely never forget you or ganymede or how much fun we have had writing together. you are so talented and sweet and i adore your ganymede with everything i have. your portrayal has altered the way i view not only zeus and gany's relationship, but also how i view zeus, and that's a really big achievement in my books. i miss you, and i'm so grateful for you!

@kallistcs unni aside from the level of sheer talent you possess and the care and detail you pour into your portrayals (which i appreciate so much my heart is FULL), you have also always been the one who swoops in and saves my day. i feel like i can always count on you to be the voice of reason to my emotionally driven, passionate rants about vague myth concepts with your frankly impressive knowledge of myth that i both admire and envy (fondly <3). i love having you around and i genuinely enjoy our threads so much i look forward to getting to write them every time i log on (even if i am Slow)

@saccharic MY SON !!! giuli. i'm not even going to talk about writing because you are talented and ily and i enjoy it but that's not what matters here. i remember when you were abt 14 and i have gotten the joy of watching you grow and become so so so successful and such a wonderful little lady and i could not be more of a proud dad. i feel like this is such a rare gift and i cherish it, i really do

this is a shoutout to others who have been a constant on my dash and who have contributed significantly to how much i enjoy being here. you're all wonderful, and talented, and i'm absolutely grateful to have you around <3

@appleyed @eriny3s @eileithyiia @anthcs @tragillary @ofprevioustimes @reastless @deadshe @luxcruor @thecs @withinycu

and to those of you who i haven't written with much yet, but who i genuinely look forward to writing more with! thank you for following me and letting me invade your space <3

[stellevatum]

Please at least give it a read! Liking this post also means it’s more likely I will follow back, as I know you have RAU’d.

Updated 04/24/2024

ABOUT:

Kar/Karmun/Karthonic either-or. If you'd rather separate mun/muse you can use my middle name, Asher to refer to me.

They/Them is cool.

From New York, so the timezone is EST.

Birthday’s January 1990, so 30+

Spoonie with AuDHD

Artist, and educator, so I can get busy. I commute, so I'm on the train for a few hours a day,

You can reach me on here or on discord. Just ask.

Personal blog @karthonic.

On mobile most of the time.

I left the Tumblr RPC 4 years ago so forgive me as I catch up with the new etiquette, etc.

GENERAL:

Above all else: Be Excellent to each other and party on, dudes!

This sounds redundant to post this but: If you have no intention of RPing with me don’t follow. Lurking for a bit before reaching out is fine, but I would like genuinely interested folks. Optional, but I've made an interest checker to help organize things.

This incarnation Kar is for SCIENCE FICTION/SPACE OPERA like verse. Her Contemporary/Urban Fantasy/Paranorma;/Supernatural self can be found at @obscurushydrae

While she's Star Wars Based,  don’t sweat it if you don’t know the other stuff. If your fandom/verse has a way in, I can finagle her into all sorts of place (she's literally an cosmic horror at heart).

That ‘selective’ part comes into play. I have every right to not follow someone, decline a roleplay, just as you do. Just be polite and respectful.

Crossover/AU/Multiverse/Self Insert friendly. Not your thing, then feel free to not follow.

There will be casual mentions of recreational drug use, more often than not mentions of alcohol than drugs, but will be tagged upon request. Other possible triggers are her fatalistic humor. 

This is not a content resource blog. If you’re here for the pretty pictures, aesthetics, or memes, this is not the blog for you.

Communication is key. My muse might be intimidating, but I'm not-- just very busy and on mobile more often than not. Don’t know something, or want me to elaborate: ask! I forgot a reply or not feeling a thing anymore, lemme know. I'm good.

Godmoding is discouraged but I’m not going to stop it. I will likely try to out ridiculous you Bugs Bunny style. Even though she can’t die, you’re free to try and kill her, but let me know first (either way she’s gonna be pissed FYI).

Most art is mine but will be credited. If I reblog any art reposted without the original creator’s permission, let me know. I’ll remove it.

IN CHARACTER:

Compatible Fandoms (ie I am Familiar with): Star Wars, Mass Effect, Borderlands, Alien/Predator, Dune, The Outer Worlds, Subnautica, No Man's Sky, Galaktikon, RaM, H2G2, and more!

Kar for the most part, is literally the Force. In a body. Raised by mortals, so she thought she was. And spent most of her life just vaguely gesturing and just going with "humanoid." Force sensitive characters might be able to sense her, but she can mask it.

As for appearance, unless you’re really looking you might notice the fangs. And for the most part, assume she’s wearing her signature sunglasses covering her eyes since those rarely are taken off in public.

While not usually brought up, but Kar has attempted to end her life and self-harmed. Nowadays it’s usually just masked with fatalistic humor, recreational drug use, and lots of drinking. 

SHIPPING:

Shipping is welcomed and willing to discuss the possibility, but I leave the rest to chemistry and just how we as writers write. Kar is into male muses, and will be polite about turning other people down, unless one doesn’t take the hint.

That being said, don’t ask to ship with me and just…drop off. I believe in mutual enthusiasm. If you're no longer interested, just communicate.

This blog is multiship, meaning each relationship is treated as its own separate place in the multiverse unless discussed and agreed upon.

Kar can be polifidelitous. She’s okay with having multiple partners and those partners having partners if your character is cool with it. But she can be selectively monogamous in your little bubble.

NSFW may be on here, or I might do it over discord. I'm playing it by vibes. As I don't really have any established romantic stuff since rebooting, I can't say with any certainty.

FOLLOWING/UNFOLLOWING:

Please don’t follow/interact if you’re under 21. If I follow anyone underage, it’s because I wasn’t able to access any about/ooc information, please don’t take it personally if I unfollow!

If I don’t follow you and you follow me, please just hit me up before doing something. Just because I don’t follow means I’m not interested, I just don’t think our characters mesh with the information given. If we chat about it, who knows!

If I follow you or like a post but not follow, it's likely because I want to check out your rules but can't find a mobile friendly/need time to look through things. If you follow back, I'll message as I don't want to overstep.

I don’t usually greet/interact with personal blogs, so side blogs off personals give me a heads up. Otherwise, I might miss you.

ASKS:

Askbox will only be open for IC interactions, save for when the meme specifies Mun. IMs are for OOC communication. Anon feature is for sideblogs, multimuses to interact ICly with me. Any Anon messages good or bad directed to the Mun (outside of memes) will be ignored.

No Magic Anons, please!

There’s no need to wait to send me a meme if you’ve followed me for 5 minutes or 5 months, send the thing.

Reblog Karma is going to be enforced on this blog. That is, if you reblog an ask meme off me, please send me one. Otherwise, reblog the meme from @karref

THREADS:

Jump on any open post, there’s no need to ask permission, they’re there for that reason!

I will be keeping my posts simple! I don't have the time/energy to make formatted posts, and I like to keep things as accessible as possible. I do try to keep track of the heavily plotted stuff, but the casual things might drop off. Feel free to remind me if it's been a bit!

Communicate! If you’re having trouble writing a reply, talk to me! If you don’t like or not feeling a thread, say so and drop the thread. That also doesn’t mean things are done for good. Come to me if you want to skip/do something else.

If you’d rather we move things to discord, just ask! I’ll set up a server just for us!

TAGGING/ HARD LIMITS:

Blood, Gore, Body Horror, Drugs, etc, will be tagged with (name); for instance drugs; . Special Tags on request.

Posts will be tagged upon request, just let me know!

If you read and understand this, I would appreciate if you'd leave a like the post, that way I know you have without forcing a password.

But if you'd like to message me, here's a DM icebreaker: What's your favorite extinct animal? (If you're lucky I may have cool fact about it.)

HOPE TO WRITE WITH YOU SOON! :D

Do you have any tips for decorating a blog? Mine's kinda plain and I'd like to spice it up

The RPC lately has been trending more towards blog customization with graphics -- fancy icons, post banners, etc. That is a good way to make your blog look unique and people can have a lot of fun with it. If you want to go that route, you can find lots of graphic templates both here on Tumblr and on DeviantArt.

That being said, I will always stand by having a nice blog theme. Finding just the right theme can take a while, but I always enjoy getting a blog looking just right, and I think it makes your content stand out in a way that solely post graphics can never quite manage.

Tumblr recently made it so blogs are dash-only by default, and only have a separate web theme if you enable it. To do that, you'll need to go into blog settings and toggle the custom theme switch.

My favorite places to find themes are:

@theme-hunter - they also have a guide for how to install a custom theme if you've never done it before

@roleplay-theme-recs

@codingcabin

And off the top of my head, in no particular order, some of my favorite theme makers are:

@glenthemes

@magnusthemes

@octomoosey

@ctrlsugar

@phantasyreign

@xuethms

I've got some themes on this blog as well. If you want something really unique, you can also make your own theme or commission someone, but I recognize that not everyone has the coding skill or the spare cash for those options. You can still get something great looking with free options, though.

As far as general tips for customization:

Try to think about what suits your character. What kind of colors, fonts, etc. Are they more of a light theme or dark theme character? Do they suit something more sleek and modern, or something retro, or something old-fashioned with fancy fonts?

As tempting as it can be to go for a crowded theme with lots of visual elements and colors and fonts, those are really hard to pull off well. Unless you feel very comfortable with your design skills, typically something simple but well thought out will be both more effective and easier to read/navigate.

Pick a color palette and stick to it. I typically go with a background color, text color, and 1-2 accent colors. Coolors.co is a great site for generating color palettes, and Canva can generate a color palette based on a specific image (for example, the image you're using as your sidebar or background).

Don't forget about accessibility. Text should be a decent size and have good contrast (you can use checkers such as WebAim to help there). Navigation links should be clear and easy to find. A lot of that is on the original theme maker, but you should also be mindful of it when setting things up. If you don't trust your eye for that sort of thing, having someone else look it over is always a good idea.

If a theme doesn't exactly match what you want, but is pretty close, you can usually make minor tweaks for your own preferences. Maybe you don't like the font, so you want to swap it for another. Or maybe you want the sidebar picture to be a different size. Sites like W3Schools have lots of CSS and HTML tutorials to help you figure out how to do that, and you can likely find tutorials for some of the more common changes here on Tumblr as well. (Always check the theme maker's policies before you start messing with their code.)

Custom blog pages can also be a great way to show your content -- you can find them on @theme-hunter as well -- but they do typically require more coding knowledge to customize. Most theme makers are pretty good about making them as straightforward as possible, but if you've never worked with any code before, there may still be a learning curve.

🤔 Been doing some thinking.

I don’t mean to alarm anyone when I say this, but I think on some deeper level I’m not very happy or satisfied with my writing.

Factors beyond the general RPC community here are at play - being in school, feeling the need to put more conscious effort into writing, generally having a lot to do… I’m having trouble keeping up.

Maybe I’ve been feeling burnt out without realizing it?

I do feel the desire to roleplay still, but when I stare at the space to write a reply, my mind draws a blank.

I don’t want to take a hiatus, but I may need to do so - at least until after school in May, so I feel like I can be in a better position to work on art and worldbuilding. (And maybe study up on how to write, if only for my own peace of mind.)

it’s not to say I don’t want to talk about characters or hypothetical situations though! I love that stuff a lot, it’s a really nice reprieve from what I’m dealing with. I just can’t keep up with writing in-character replies.

👉👈 I never want to disappoint anyone, but I think I may need to stay off Tumblr for the time being. It’s nothing personal with anyone on here! I’m just tired 90% of the time and I work slower than I want to.

You’re welcome to invade my DMs on Discord (I’m very active on there and welcome interaction), I’ll still be lurking on here sometimes to answer questions or messages.

#cryptic commentary ;; ooc #basically: considering a hiatus bc school is stressing me out and burnout is Not Pleasant

Meet the Writer

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

(CANON MUSES) -

Genesis: I actually HATED Genesis initially in the og CC game. I thought he was a lame addition and just like… idk, they wanted Gackt in the game so they made his presence plot relevant? OOOUGH, I was so mad… But then I saw how the rpc and fandom treats him, which is honestly even WORSE SOMEHOW??? So I decided to try writing him seriously and what do you know, I actually kinda like it.

Verdot: I literally have to make the content I wanna see in this rpc, such is my burden. my curse...

(OCs) - I wanted to write about the themes I have on my pinned and honestly, there were so many Tseng rpers who I am friends and mutuals with that knock it out of the fucking ballpark- I just didn't feel like I'd have ANYTHING new or good to contribute to the exploration of his character? So I made an OC :P And he's really changed so much! I remember when I was still making my own art for him and he wasn't QUITE like there the way I wanted him to be, but I didn't have anything better to employ as a faceclaim or reference to draw from. And then Cas was like "btw here's a manga about your HYPERFIXATION" and Kokonoi's general appearance and vibe was a great starting point to go off of instead.

Anyway, There's always things I had planned for Jae in the works or on the backburner, but he has really evolved over the span of years I've been writing him, so I really appreciate every person who took the time to check him out and build something with him.

ɪꜱ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ᴀɴʏᴛʜɪɴɢ ʏᴏᴜ ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴡʀɪᴛᴇ?

You know, I have been becoming more lenient with allowing myself to write certain things. I always end up being afraid of how people will react to certain themes I explore because... let's be real, a lot of people are pretty intolerant to opinions that are different than theirs. So long as whatever I and/or my partner explore is handled with the care and respect it deserves, I don't really see an issue with much anymore. Hell, I was terrified to post that one drabble fleshing out Jae meeting Veld for the first time because I was afraid people would see Jae's reaction to killing someone as somehow 'excusing abuse' because he wasn't dancing on the guy's corpse and actually showed remorse for what he did. It's fears of what I write about being misconstrued like that that really makes me hesitant to even talk about certain ideas with partners. But I'm getting over that, little by little and step by step.

ɪꜱ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ᴀɴʏᴛʜɪɴɢ ʏᴏᴜ ʀᴇᴀʟʟʏ ᴇɴᴊᴏʏ ᴡʀɪᴛɪɴɢ?

I actually love writing (as you can tell) introspective pieces. Something where you're really getting inside the character's head for a moment to see past all of their walls and facades, or sometimes you're still seeing what they tell THEMSELVES is the real undiluted truth, but isn't. I just love that kinda stream of consciousness really dig deep into the VOICE of a character exploration. Makes me feel lots of emotions.

ʜᴏᴡ ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴄᴏᴍᴇ ᴜᴘ ᴡɪᴛʜ ʜᴇᴀᴅᴄᴀɴᴏɴꜱ?

Usually I'll be doing something else like watching a piece of media or listening to a podcast and start to think "Ooh, my muse would love this" or "this makes me think of xyz muse wow", and it just kind of expands organically from there.

ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡʀɪᴛᴇ ɪɴ ꜱɪʟᴇɴᴄᴇ ᴏʀ ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴘʟᴀʏ ᴍᴜꜱɪᴄ?

Music helps get me inspired initially, especially since I make spotify playlists for all my muses (and ships :P), so generally I'm cool with music, but usually I zone in too much on my own writing to pay attention. It's like my sense of hearing turns off.

ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴘʟᴀɴ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʀᴇᴘʟɪᴇꜱ ᴏʀ ᴡɪɴɢ ᴛʜᴇᴍ?

Both- There's always a general sort of... idea or outcome that me and my partner would LIKE to shoot for? And sometimes we just don't get there, because it really depends on what the characters do/say and how it's taken by the other muse.

For example, I was roleplaying a thread with @steeleidolon's Kunsel where he and Jae are trying to broker a deal and Kunsel ends up saying something to the effect of "your people" and he means the Turks. Jae, on the other hand, hears 'your people' and assumes Kunsel was bringing up his race and the perception of fellow people from Wutai or Hanuel being unfairly insular. So, it kinda went to shit, LOL.

It's little things like that that can color your muse's reaction to sometimes very different degrees than what you plan for!

ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴇɴᴊᴏʏ ꜱʜɪᴘᴘɪɴɢ?

I like complicated dynamics and no, I will never shut up about them. Ships for me don't even have to strictly be romantic or sexual in nature, so like- I have some interactions I'm still feeling out with @saishuu-heiki that are platonic but leaning in a distinctly enemy/frenemy/challenges other person kind of vibe? And I think it's great! They don't HAVE to be like "we're friends, we're lovers, or we hate each other'- Like, limiting all your interactions to one of those three options gets really boring for me...

ᴡʜᴀᴛ'ꜱ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴀʟɪᴀꜱ/ɴᴀᴍᴇ?

King_Kkeungi is my mangaka pseudonym for the Silent Manga Audition that I tried submitting to last year. People have called me just "King" (if they didn't know how to pronounce Korean) or "Kkeungi" before, so I tend to go by these handles now.

The people who have known me the LONGEST are mostly discord only rpers now, but Tricky, HD, Kit, and Vixen I consider to be extremely close to me since we've been friends for... like over or around 6+ years and are still ongoing buddies who have met face to face before.

Then there's my ex-fiancee, but he doesn't do tumblr rp anymore.

This list also doesn't even cover ppl I write with/ooc interacted with over a long period of time like @ivory-paragon, @poeticphoenix, @reapersxfolly, @endweapon, @chthonicsurge, or @dcviltriggcr, so- I like reaching out to people and developing bonds! We don't even have to be on discord capslocking at each other, it's really cool when you can come back to an RPC and still have that connection without any awkward small talk?

PSA: What I've Learned About Roleplaying (& what I look for in a RP partner/interactions)

Between an overdue blog cleanup, talking with @climatact, and coming up on a year of roleplaying in general today, I've been thinking on some stuff I've learned or wish I'd done differently from the beginning, so this is kind of a general PSA on some things I've learned that do and don't work for me in RP this year.

♥ In hindsight, I probably DO NOT already ship it. (Y'all know the psa that goes around. I used to like rb'ing this one too but boy, have I learned about some ships I really wish I had not learned about.) I like shipping, but have definitely discovered I can't and don't want to ship just for the sake of it. I'm going to blame this on my aroace-ness, but I really can't even bring myself to take on/entertain a ship now unless it's with a mun I have a decent ooc connection with (meaning we talk a fair bit). This has become every bit as important as muse chemistry.

♥ Along the same lines, I know this is not everyone's vibe (and that is NOT a bad thing), but for me, wanting to write with someone and wanting to be their friend go pretty much hand-in-hand. If I've followed you, it's because I want to write with you and chat OOC, whether that's just about our muses/threads or we hit it off and find ourselves talking about anything/everything. I know this isn't what everyone's here for, but I've realized it's a big part of the experience for me.

♥ Communication is really key for me. (And I will go ahead and disclaimer this with: this is something I have definitely had to learn/get better at myself throughout the year. I'm still not the absolute best, but I'm trying, and when I do talk about things when I'm in my bad headspace, it always helps me so I'm trying to be better about it.)

It's my BIGGEST FEAR in the rpc that I might be someone's "that person" - like... you're not feeling our stuff and angsting about it/it's preventing you from having your best rp experience here. Please please please do not ever let me be this person to you. I would so much rather you just tell me "this isn't working for me" or that you'd like to drop something than worry about it. (Or, hell, do not feel guilty about breaking mutuals if you're leaning that way. This is your RP experience and you should do what you feel is best for you and even if my feelings get hurt, I promise I'm gonna be okay. <3 Just... don't ever feel guilty about anything regarding me, that's the idea.)

♥ That said, though, I have a couple of notes on dropped interactions. I am 110% serious when I tell you I don't mind dropped threads. If our first few things don't take off, that's no reason we can't keep trying.

I don't mind dropped threads, but I do put a lot of effort into my replies and I AM attached to/invested in my ongoing interactions. As a result, I do find it difficult to jump into ic interactions with muns who frequently clear things (ongoing things, not unanswered inbox; those I don't even think about) like they just didn't matter. I don't mind if things take a while to reply to! We can have threads going on we only reply to once or twice a year - that seriously doesn't bother me. (And it's why I love having multiple ongoing things.) But I'm also OPEN TO TALKING ABOUT THINGS if an interaction isn't a vibe for you. I'm happy to restart, backtrack to an earlier point in the thread and change things up, all of that. If you loved it and now you don't and you want to talk about why, there's no reason to be shy about that! Either we end up talking through it or we don't and decide to drop it, it's not a big deal. I'd just like to give things their best change before just deciding "I'm not feeling it" if at all possible.

🎭 🎾 🛍 !

🎭 a blog i miss writing with

... well. haha. i don't really want to name names in this situation because i think the foremost person i really miss writing with in the sense that we don't talk at all anymore about muses ever is someone you can probably guess. in retrospect there were a lot of problems with that interaction but i can't claim not to miss it.

on a less personal note ... um, i can't remember the url but quite a long time ago now there was someone in the bungou stray dogs rpc who had an oc for jane austen. actually i don't think we talked at all outside of that but i had some really awesome interactions with them that i actually still think about to this day, so that will be my non-personal answer i can actually elaborate about publicly without feeling guilty. they stopped writing on that blog over time and i don't remember if they moved elsewhere.

🎾 what type of genre of roleplay i prefer to write

hehe. it might not surprise you but i like things that are plot-heavy. while i don't like combative, action-related threads because i'm bad at combat, i like things that involve some manner of extended storyline. i think maybe just general interpersonal conflicts are probably my favorite things but i don't mind involving external threats either. i don't know. that's not really a genre, is it...

well okay. i don't just want normal slice of life but i still want it to be relationship focused while also having a wider plot. generally. urgh. it's a vague response but this question is really hard for me to answer.

🛍 the one thing i wish all of my followers knew about me

that i really do want to write with them and my reasons for not doing so!

i really do struggle to reach out to people when it comes to things like this and. well. YOU know why perfectly well, but i think a lot of people don't have context for my situation and i sometimes would just like to explain it so it seems less silly. the tl;dr of it is that when i was first really getting into dedicated para rp as a younger teenager, i was stuck with two roleplayers who really just didn't like me and refused to let me write any characters other than the background characters to their relationships.

a LOT of my roleplaying habits stem from that---for instance, i almost completely favor background or secondary characters on my blog for this reason, and i have a hard time with duplicates because i worry that i'm never really going to have an "important" portrayal of a character in comparison to literally anyone else ...

it's why i'm struggling to interact with a lot of my hellaverse muses right now because that sort of thing has left me with a really big fear of, um. showing up to communities and just writing a popular muse. i'm mostly afraid i'll get completely ignored, hahahah.

Rules🍯

Important Info About Me

I am a transman. I don't want to roleplay with anyone whose characters wouldn't date a transman, or any other minorities for that matter, regardless of their reasoning. I have anxiety and dissociation issues. Sometimes my wording can be weird. It takes a lot of courage for me to send in asks and interact with others. I am sensitive due to my perfectionism. Don't be a jerk about it or criticize my word choice. Sorry but, it is what it is.

Assumptions Make An Ass Out Of Me And You

Don't make assumptions. If something seems unclear or up for interpretation, you can always just ask me politely for clarification. I prefer that over having an uncomfortable assumption pushed on me. If an assumption comes up and it feels like you're being aggressive over it, I will just block you.

General Boundaries

For my own personal reasons, there are a few members of the RPC I have indefinitely blocked for the sake of my own comfort. Please do not ask me why. I do not take kindly to that or people trying to "plead their case" to me if they know them. If I blocked you I blocked you, end of story.

I do not like roleplaying out muse death, animal abuse, child abuse, domestic abuse, and so on. I am sensitive to eye gore. Please respect these boundaries.

I am fine with RPing dark themes, but please give me a heads up about what themes in particular to expect.

Don't control my muse, please and thank you.

Don't godmod. Being all powerful is just freaking annoying.

I am not my muses. Do not treat me as such.

NSFW Boundaries

Penetration, in some cases, squeaks me out.

I really do not like aggressive sex or dub/sub dynamics. Please avoid this.

Any kink involving bodily fluids makes me uncomfortable.

Mouth jobs is not a topic I want to explore (spit freaks me out).

I am not okay with purposeful misgendering in the bedroom or bigotry of any kind.

I will never roleplay dubcon under any circumstance. It being in a character's past is fine, but I will not roleplay it in the current timeline of the RP.

Behavior I Will Not Put Up With

Bigotry will lead to an immediate block. Vague posting will as well. If I am doing something that is upsetting you, talk to me about it. Don't pull a woe is me when I try to set boundaries. In general, shitty behavior will lead to a block. Don't be a jerk and we'll be good.

Please like this post if you've read the rules and comment that you understand. Thank you!

Pinned.;

Independent multimuse and multifandom rp blog portrayed by the entity known as Nayen. (of @exnusquam , @sourhydrapplin and @manywcrlds fame)

I'm 27, use it/its pronouns exclusively, and live in Germany, which means my online times are harshly different from most of the 'Muricans here.

This blog doesn't host any pokemon muses, but is still welcoming other people with pokemon muses here for crossover/AU interactions!

MUSES | MUN | OTHER BLOGS

Read all rules underneath. I'll know if you haven't.

Multiship, multiverse, chemistry only. Platonic ships welcome and encouraged! - Every ship will result in it's own verse unless discussed otherwise. -- Please make sure you say which muse you're referring to so I know which one to write.

None of the art here is mine unless claimed otherwise.

No drama, no badmouthing. I don't touch antiship/proship discourse either.

This is a hobby, not a job. Do not hound me for replies. Reminding me one every three days or so is fine. - I do not enjoy roleplays that only have like two lines per reply, but so long as you write more than that and give me something to work with, I truly do not care how long your reply is.

I will not ship any minor muses with any muse over the age of 18 and vise versa. - Any attempt anyway will result in an immediate block.

We do not ship with pokemon at all, unless it's a legendary pokemon written in a similar role to a greek god (e.g. human form, intellect, ability to communicate and consent). - If you have a problem with that, that's okay, but please just block me and move on

I am willing to roleplay s/mu/t rp, but only with people I trust and have interacted with extensively, and only based on chemistry. I prefer doing nsfw rp on discord, but can also do it here if tagged appropriately and under a read more. - Discord is only given out to people whom I trust and have interacted with extensively oocly on tumblr IMs and otherwise.

If you want me to unfollow for any reason, let me know privately, and I will do so without resistence. I would prefer to be following someone who welcomes me there.

In general if you have any issue with me, feel free to talk to me privately. Don't just listen to whatever someone else says about me. The rpc has a clique problem as is, let's not make it worse. I promise I don't bite.

I ask you not to softblock me and instead just hardblock me. It makes things a lot easier for both of us.

I'm much friendlier than I sound like, I promise!

This post will be edited whenever I find it relevant to.

Thank you for reading. Love you all!

Honestly doesn't really feel worth it to do anything for this blog anymore. Or for any of them.

Like, a lot of my past roleplaying trauma is still getting in the way. I'm so used to my last partner using angst and drama to further the plot despite me trying to communicate I didn't want any, and thus being used to just doing my own thing and chugging ahead so I can't be stopped. For fuck's sake, for this very reason I hate the twins. (No, not Morgott and Mohg, the other ones.) And it's not fair, and I hate that I do so much. But it feels like they exist just as an easy angst high and nothing else, when I know full well that's not what they are.

There's a dark cloud over Elden Ring and generally Tumblr too, because the very thought of doing anything for this blog ultimately puts me back in the mindset of "No one cares and no one wants you." Especially sucks when I have so many ideas but I don't know how to plot anymore and it feels like I'm bothering everybody when I try.

It's not even about my dad passing in September. This has all bubbled inside for so long and honestly I'd rather lay it all out and not hide it anymore.

Nothing I do makes any difference, and it feels like I'm consistently in the mindset of "I can just disappear from the RPC for good and no one will care." It doesn't work like that, though - it isn't that simple.

With all of this stewing inside, I don't know if I can go on. And it just feels easier to slowly fade away than to just go into the server one last time, lay it all out, and leave. That's all I've done with every friendship I've had, because all I am is temporary happiness until they don't need me anymore. And I'm okay with that.

I'm so tired.

#probably not the updated post you guys wanted #i'm sick of hiding my feelings under read mores. #ooc

⋆˙⟡ Knowing your partner well can

potentially make writing together a lot easier

Name: - Bravo.

Pronouns: - she/her.

Name of muse: - Eileen R. Roosevelt.

Preference of communication: - Dms are good as long as we're following each other. I do have a Discord, but I'm very selective of who I give it to since I'm easily overwhelmed and have days where my social battery is low. Don't get me wrong I love talking and writing random scenarios, but during the work week my brain is extra smooth.

Experience/how long (months/years?): - My very first roleplay was with my best friend back in 2009, when "P.ictochat" was still available for the N.intendo Lite. I didn't start engaging with the public until mid 2012-2013, where I was introduced to platforms like Y.ahoo M.essenger and D.eviantART. While I originally joined T.umblr back in 2017, I never got involved with the rpc until December of 2021. I've been just about everywhere from old Y.outube comments, S.kype, T.witter, and even MSN. In total, I have fourteen years under my belt.

Best experience: - A T.witter thread between my current muse, (Eileen) and a Mafia!Fell Sans that wound up becoming one of the biggest slow burns to date. For two years me and my friend dragged out their relationship, deconstructing and piecing them back together to create a long-term ship that finally set sail two years down the road. They were one out of a handful of people from the Undertale community that really gave me a confidence boost, helped me improving areas of my writing as well as becoming some of my closest friends.

RP pet peeves/dealbreakers: - I'm chill when it comes to this community, very few things annoy me and I tend to blacklist whatever characters or fandoms I won't engage with. However, jealousy towards roleplay partners or vague posting is something I do not tolerate. Same goes for people who actively display passive aggressive behavior, or drag others into drama they have no involvement with. This community is a safe space for folks to come after a long day, whether to let off steam or just kick back and relax, nobody wants that negative shit.

Muse preference (fluff, angst or smut?): - Casual conversation is my go-to for days I don't feel like writing more than a couple paragraphs, it's always fun to see where things lead and get a feel for the others literature. 'Course fluff and angst are loved all the same, though recently I've focused more on domestic scenes of just day to day habits with a little of both sprinkled into the mix. I'll be honest though it's been, several years since I last wrote smut. Nothing against it I just, don't really think about it much since I prefer to explore character dynamics with something softer. My muse in general is soft, and it's extremely rare she gets put into a situation like that.

Plots or memes: - I'm a hoe for plots, but the easiest way to kick things off is to meme your way. I tend to approach people with questions about their muse if they're from a verse I'm not familiar with, and you're more than welcome to do the same! Eileen is multiverse for a reason, and while some of the more primary ones are listed on her carrd she does have a few that aren't on display.

Long or short replies: - Somewhere in between. I tend to mirror my partner's writing to make it easier, long as there's one paragraph for me to work with I'm not picky.

Best time to write: - There's never really a "good" time, but your best bet is on my days off. (Sun-Tue), I try to dedicate a few hours among my schedule to drafts or social media so they don't pile up. My activity is spotty enough, so don't take it to heart if I don't respond to you right away. I always draft things.

Are you like your muse: - In many ways, yes. While I'm more educated in sign language than French that's one thing that separates me from her. We do share alot of sensory/neurological challenges on a day to day basis, the need to keep our hands busy whether it be with a toy, with work, or other things as well as becoming short with people when we're overstimulated.

✖ - How has Tumblr RP changed since you started?

In general, it feels much smaller than when I started many years ago and I don't even mean just in terms of the roleplaying community - the website has a whole just feels smaller - it's not even something I can confirm, it's just a gut feeling. I know that the nsfw purge drove away a lot of people who left the RPC. Whether or not those same blogs have since returned or stuck to their guns about leaving, I'm not sure. Fandoms and spaces just feel generally smaller - although that could also be because Persona 5 is a fandom is well past its heyday but even for other communities like 3 or 4, I really only see a small handful of blogs - it's definitely bittersweet, but it makes me grateful to be here and to see so many blogs still here and new blogs joining.

[inavagrant-a]

you make this space feel welcoming & in a rpc so prone to cliques i do think that's something to let you know. you are very friendly, very easy to talk to, full of wonderful ideas, funny, & your portrayal of wanderer & style of rp is one i like out of all the ones i have caught glimpses of.

i will confess to you that scaramouche & wanderer as a character annoy me, he's just the type of character that seems uninteresting to me, i could never warm up to him. but talking to you about him & reading your thoughts on him i do catch myself just listening in intently, wanting to know more, wanting to pick at your brain more, because it feels like i'm learning a lot from him through you that the game failed to catch my attention with.

your portrayal of wanderer, tetsuya you call him, is phenomenal. you don't just give a glimpse of how his thought process works of his feelings of his conflicts, but in your own writing you also apply this sense of accountability on top of all of that & that is such an interesting manner in story telling that not many can accomplish because it's essentially the character & then there's pieces of the author subtly arguing with the character. you do it in such a way that it flows so neatly & both counterparts compliment the other. one of my favorite things about your writing is his inner monologue. aside from all of this you aren't scared to expand from the canon material, you aren't scared to show that tetsuya can grow, that he can change, & that begins in such a subtle way. it begins as a thought & then his actions & it is just good technique. it makes him that much more interesting, that much more alive.

yes i do see some personal hc's integrated here & there, yet you somehow manage to take the canon material & you break it into little pieces for me to where i do think it would be nice to put some investment into his character. you make him interesting to me with all of the life you give him through your rp style.

which, brings forth my next point, i have only wonderful things to say about the way you rp. not only do your replies flow & add the proper amount of attention to your character in the reply, but you also point out a lot about the other person's character you're interacting with to show how strong of an impact what the other character has done or said can have on tetsuya. you also make me feel like you're invested in what i reply with, because in your reply i can tell you're paying attention & already trying to understand the other person's character which makes me want to invest equally & as much in you.

apollo you are wonderful & i wish whole heartedly that you were more open to seeing that since you struggle with it so much. just like you believe kindness should be something that comes naturally, i believe that when there's something worth thanking, then you show your gratitude. so thank you, you're a great & talented guy apollo.

This legit got me teary eyed what the fuck Eddi e tHIS IS SO SWEET WHAT THE FUCK EDDIE???

I'm honestly at a loss, idk how to reply to this I'm like lowkey overwhelmed by all of this. You're so sweet and I appreciate your feedback on my roleplaying and thanks for being so nice and saying such sweet things about me?

Thank y ou for sparing me some of your time when you get a chance and for listening to my wild ideas and for giving my son a chance and just being such a chill person in general?? Like really I don't know what else to say to this but thank you? I'm sorry I sound like a broken record but like this is all just too much??? nOT LIKE IN A BAD WAY OR ANYTHING I JUST MEAN LIKE it's just so kind??
