#im just rambling now. tldr: I Wanna WRITE

Honestly. OK. It's been some weeks since I did any writing. And I SHOULD push to finish ladue chapter 3. And i will. Eventually. BUT
My brain keeps scrabbling towards trigun, & I know it's inevitable I'm gonna write smth for it, but I still don't know what to write bc Realistically I'm still in the digestion phase. I'm not the type who will write while in the middle of absorbing a thing. I will write only after I have reasonably completed the thing, bc I would DIE if I got any details wrong for the thing
So yes I watched all of tristamp, but im only 20 ish chapters into trimax, so I'm not gonna be writing anything until after I finish that manga. Which you'd THINK would be good incentive for me to push to read the manga. But get this. Wolfwood Fanfic Good.
Also anytime I start reading I can't stop & I have literally given myself headaches doing this reading all of original trigun manga in one go And then 2 nights ago reading chapters 4 through 20 of tristamp in one go. Yes I read a few more last night and didn't get the Brain Grip, but I can tell shit's about to go down HARD & that's what got me getting only 4 hours of sleep the night before last bc i could not stop READING
I have to be cautious. Hyperfixations are a dangerous thing if you don't have the time to commit to them.
.... and I still really wanna write vashwood fanfic 😭
#speculation nation#y'all know me im allergic to writing anything short#i dont wanna start anything too Truly wrong bc i do NOT need another 500k+ fanfic in the works#especially when i still havent finished the last one#(discacc my baby im so sorry im neglecting you 😭 blame the brain pls)#still tho it's doubtful id be able to write anything shorter than like 20k. at the absolute minimum#(side-eyes ladue chapter 3 WIP which is 18k words and not done)#yes i have the ideas for vashwood smut stuff but i dont wanna have it be Just the smut ykno#my brand is heart wrenching angst anyways. the smut would just be a conduit for that#in any case im still building my perceptions of their characters. i cant start writing anything rn#im definitely leaning more towards trimax characterizations though. their Loser Ways have bewitched me#i like little shit wolfwood more than sleazy bastard wolfwood anyways. aka trimax vs tristamp wolfwood lol#DONT GET ME WRONG i love all wolfwood. but the urge to punch tristamp wolfwood has never gone away since i first saw him#gonna b interesting to write for wolfwood. i might end up leaning towards 'nico' as a nickname#considering one of my fav ocs is named nico lol. do what you know & all. & ive written Many words for my nico#then again it might be weird to have the mix up. it's the primary reason i havent started going by nico myself#just keeping it nicky i guess. but now here's wolfwood. nick nico nicholas. stealing my names there bub#my fate is to fixate on characters that share a diminutive of one of my names. yes one is my character no it was not on purpose#my name nicky does not come from my character nico. his full first name's nicostrato anyways#im just rambling now. tldr: I Wanna WRITE

hi im new to the party 1. what does hw stand for 2. tell me everything im invested in this now
Tumblr media
HEHEHEHEHEEHHE
so!! hw stands for hollow ☆ wonderland!! its the name of my n25 and wxs unit swap :3 hollow ☆ wonderland is the nightcord-ified wxs side of it!!
^ here’s a post with a pretty basic summary for them!! though i’ve made some more progress since then so i have some more details about a theoretical main story if you wanna ask about that :)
if you don’t wanna read all that though, the tldr is that they do online music videos like kikuo’s songs such as welcome to the star inn, and so you became the moon, etc. tsukasa (hoshi) is the main lyricist, emu (koki) is the artist, nene (kurage) is the composer, and rui (tako) is the animator and eventual co lyricist!!
my main story ideas have definitely progressed since that post but they’re still not like. entirely concrete. i’m getting there!! it’s just been taking a but fjabjdha and but i do want to write a fic for them. i have a side one on the way rn actually, just waiting for a friend of mine to beta it :) but feel free to ask about what i have so far!!
the gist of it though is that similar to n25 they all have that desire to disappear and are kinda on their last hopes atm. and except for tsukasa, they’ve all given up theater. tsukasa gets to be the one to get them all to give it another chance, boom they start to branch out into being an online theater troupe and posting videos of their shows. they’re my beloved horribly sad clowns who love each other so much <3
^ long ass post about hw ruinene if you’re interested. i have thought about them the most. they make me ill /pos
they are so so dear to me. i have 50ish screenshots of dms of me rambling about them. i’m unwell.
also i have an rp blog @hw-rui-official if you wanna bother this sad sad cat. or rather his friends aka the rest of hw. i have a silly takeover arc going on right now.

after the battles, yet we cannot win the war (its a mad multiverse out there that's for sure)
hi im back. its timeline time >:] very much still a work in progress, uhh only vague for that I don't wanna spoil Big Things (for no reason, this is really all for fun LMAO no one is gonna wanna produce this)
*obligatory disclaimer, all named characters are in reference to solely the RP characters, and have nothing to do with CCs
the stuff that happens after S2/before Isles isnt as important plus ive rambled about it before
During Isles tldr; Sonja revives Capsize with the help of Spark, Kristin, Phil and Ianite.
Tom returns to the present from Isles, literally falling from a rift and landing facefirst onto the deck of Capsize's boat
Jordan got taken by DreamXD into the DSMP to be trapped in the End Realm- long story short he finds Techno and Phil, they free him, he gets launched far from the Syndicate meeting room, roped into working for Wilburger and reconnects with Tubbo this is all the DSMP Sparklez stuff
When Techno's Syndicate has their ending (the canon one Phil wrote), Rux!Dianite (I'll just refer to him as Dia) uses the anomaly signal caused when Wilbur left to Utah to find Jordan and bring him home with Tubbo (Michael and Ranboo idk they fit in here somewhere im not on about writing this just yet)
Everyone's home yayyy Tom is doin his Mecha Dianite things, everyone's kinda gettin along (not really.. lots of uh. skeletons in the closet. Big Character Conflits). then Boom. Alice Syndicate (and Karl bc he deserves to get saved from whatever the fuck happens to him at the end of Isles im not that far yet LMAO anyways)
Basically. Big Frick. NoWhere (deity of multiverse) has discovered a force that is causing worlds to decay away (ooc: inactive SMPs) explaining why it seems Mianite is getting rotted despite Tom being there aka all 3 gods present
Leads them to Vault Hunters/Hermitcraft universe- long running, no decay, Vault Gods must know something
Tom gets sent there first. Cue confusion thing and him bein a little messed up with his attachment issues to Jordan after he just got his bf back, he fights Pete, gets kicked
X33n (aka deviser gaines who ditched everyone and reinvented himself) and Tubbo talk to VH!Ianite get Tom back, he talks to Vault Gods. Wendarr explains what the force was, now their worlds are untimed. This entity is like a mimic, its hard to find. Suggests they check Hermitcraft
Tom returns, the team prepares. Dia agrees to take Tom's place alongside the S1 siblings temporarily to let him investigate.
On the way to speak to the hermit gods or watchers, theyre intercepted by someone who looks like Martyn inthelittlewood (its not him) in the data streams who says they have information. Jokes on them. its a mimic, and sends them flying off their trail into a random vanilla world.
Its where Tucker went. theres also a witch there too shes chill
They catch up with Tucker, find out where he's been.
Conflict part 23, haven't fleshed this out but ends with Tucker agreeing to join them in their shenanigans one last time
Alice finds traces of the entity in a realm akin to Empires S2, its called Aitheaca.
Through her portal, Tom, Jordan, Sonja, Capsize and Tucker end up in Aitheaca, and are greeted by the fishy Watcher Merina and wither skeleton Cassell, who help them get to safety before Flash can find them
Wag is also there by a random coincidence, has just been hanging out with William and Mianite. Bro's just been travelling about the multiverse for fun
Most story takes place here; Martha's theory is the Ianite in this realm is housing the entity (Jordan agrees.. why else would his lady be evil and hellbent on keeping balance to the point of it being destructive?) Basically, them two's about to have a massive fucking wakeup call. Capsize is skeptical
Back home, Ianite, Dia and Mianite are trying to hold their crumbling realm together with the help of Spark, Mot Jeriah and Alyssa, going back n forth between Ruxomar to pick up quintessence. Its not gone well
Stuff ensues. How it ends? I really don't know yet...
and uh. I mean i do have more but its more spoilery but its for ending things which I'm still working out so yeeee But! That's the gist of it; I really wanna focus on themes of them having to understand things are temporary, the idea of things having to have an end, and when it ends, who will be there to start again with you.

⚞Aquarious Appreciation Askn't💀♒⚟™ (Shift 3)
Tumblr media
Hello once again, Aqua. Aside from the usual love and appreciation, i wanded to actually ask you something.
Revolutionary, i know, but: how did you come up with your pfp? I'm curious.
Anyways, see you on Wednesday.
Tumblr media
-Chief
CHIEF!
Aw SHUCKS-
I feel so ✨️💔😚☺️🤭🙈🙈🙈❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥💖🥰🥰💝💓💕❣️💗😍😍💞❤️‍🩹✨️ WARM AND GOOEY LIKE A CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE WHEN SMONE ASKS ABT THE BLOG/NON-WRITING STUFF
like geeeezzz, u dont have to do all that for meee 😳😳 (–///// ^ /////–) ♡
LIKE GIVE MY CHEEKS A BREAK
So at first it was just cutie Aether bc i wanted ppl to just be blessed by cutie Aether just peeking over at you like
"hey, its me, babygirl aether. just checkin in, i made another post, arent i cute? whatcha doin over there? ♡"
But then we had an aesthetic overhaul this week bc my desktop was UNREADABLE, scroll a few posts down/non genshin writings
Bc someone was nice enough to tell me the issue (and bc im on mobile most of the time/even my laptop just shows my mobile site)
I didnt realize it was that bad- 💀
So Aether rlly started to stand out by the time everything else darkened down
So i was gonna edit him just pure Black and white at first, but then i was like, u know
Hes so blonde and his hair is glowing already, and my accent/only color now is yellow, plus
I think we all tend to see each others PFPs as how we all "look" to each other, and i thought itd be badass to be an all grayed out character, and it tied into the theme of "dead aquarius" like thats what my theme is
A dying star/dead constellation vibes-
(Reminds me too of Gaster's Followers from Undertale if u know what im talking abt)
So yeah, TLDR
he needed to fit in more,
I wanna be able to have a cool persona to draw
I gotta fit the theme of "dead aquarius" and nothing screamed "im a dying star" than that edit ver. I made of Aether, at least to me,
Oh! One last thing, sorry I ramble u prob didnt need all this-
I thought it was too late/didnt wanna lose anybody if my pfp changed content (NOT aether peeking over) and then they dont recognize me!
Thanks for asking.. 🥺 👉👈
ALSO THIS IS TOO MANY SHIFTS, UR WORKING OVER UR PART TIME HOURS EMPLOYEE-
Safe Travels Chief,

idk man I just really like your style of rambling about them ig? like I find peoples' enthusiasm for things very sweet and infectious sometimes and your emetkoto posts defs hit that spot for me? like your joy and love for them seeps through and infects me too it's great. emetkoto good. anyway tell us about after vauthry. do it. give us the deets.
well thank you very much, it makes me happy to hear that ive had that effect on you 🥺🥺🥺 thats exactly what i hope to do with my posts about them but i do have bad demon brain so sometimes im like hmm. 'am i just being unbearably annoying instead actually???' and ofc sometimes its 'oh this is not original at all nobody wants to read this' so its always nice to have a little reassurance like this ghsljgsfd….
cracks my fingers so hard they all break anyway now for that essay you asked for
RIGHT SO LIKE right before vauthry, literally the night before that fight is when emet selch takes k'oto to the tempest to marry him and seubsequently erase his memory of it to "keep things fair" or whatever (basically he still had tiny little pangs of doubt about how things would turn out bc of yknow the whole being tempered for 12k+ years situation and he wanted to make sure that if it like. came to them having to fight. k'oto wouldnt hesitate bc he had smth like that holding him back :,) little did he know that he tried to hesitate in the end anyway and was only stopped from sparing him by ardbert) but thats a whole like other thing i still have to finish writing the worlds longest stupidest hardest to read post about so im physically restraining myself from going on about this anymore right this moment as much as i want to repeat myself forever about it bc GOD. God. god.
but anyway he was full of love and hope for k'oto, so much hope that he would be able to hold the light and prove mankinds worth so he could lay his mission to rest and stay by his side (and undo the spell holding his memories of the wedding) he was so SO ready for it and then. it just. all came crashing down :,) he'd allowed himself to let his guard down and put his duty aside and have hope in humanity again one last time and fall in love and k'oto just couldnt do it! even with his subtle help holding the light back he couldnt handle it, he was still too weak at 7 rejoinings and that shit hurted bad!!! he succumbed to the tempering and grief and rage and disappointment and closed himself off again…from there its probably the more canon adjacent bit of their story, graha tia acting embarassment, back to the tempest (altho k'oto doesnt remember having been there once before AUGH), amaurot, dying gasp :,)
throughout it all k'oto is trying desperately to get him to listen to him again but emet selch keeps cutting him off and ignoring him which hurts A LOT and ofc he says some. mean things to try and get him to just leave it be and accept what has to be done and stop talking about it bc HE didnt wanna think about it anymore EITHER obviously here but k'oto doesnt give up he keeps trying all the way to the very end….he never planned to kill emet selch, he just wanted to weaken him enough that he would take a moment to stop and think and listen , a last ditch effort to fix things but ardbert (and everyone else really) saw that it was like. too late for that. there was no way in hell emet selch was hearing reason anymore and if k'oto let him live there was a pretty high chance he would just kill him when he tried to get close to him so he took control of his body and made sure that axe killed, oops! way to kill a dudes soulmate and then be absorbed into his soul so you can never actually apologize for it…when the dust settled and k'oto realized what had happened he. was. A MESS!!
the only thing stopping him from breaking down right away was emet selch shushing him like 'let me enjoy this last moment with you in peace and quiet'……remember us and all that (although 'us' had a very obvious double meaning here
anyway tldr; WEHHHHHHH,,,,,,,
sorry for unreadability i very much wrote it exactly as it came out of my brain which is a long run on thought with no consideration for line or paragraph breaks. i tried to turn it into a few chunks for you

this might be a bit of a silly question but why exactly are most of your RP blogs specifically non selective..?
Why you gotta send me this damn ask when i'm about to sleep bruh..... ok here goes
so selectivity to me means like. who im interested in writing with. & yea that sounds like an obvious answer but let me explain
my most active muses are almost always gonna be entirely non-selective. if my muse is SUPER active for a certain character i do not give a flying fuck who i write them with for the most part bcuz i want to write them as much as possible
THAT IS NOT TO SAY I DON'T HAVE STANDARDS FOR WRITING. my favourite kinds of RP is para - multi-para etc with lots of character development and stuff. it's not a quantity over quality thing; i still WANT to have long, valuable threads, but i will be writing this character A LOT so you're just gonna see all kinds shit coming out of their blog.
non-selective just kinda means "anything goes" for me, & i feel that also might take some pressure off of people who feel shy about reaching out too bcuz I Am Branded. For Everyone. Blue's Clues Muse's Are For Everyone.
semi- & selective to me just means "I'm more interested in a very specific kind of RP thing & if you don't meet those standards we probably won't interact". some people still misconstrue these 2 things as people being arseholes & only wanting to interact with their """clique""" and I'm like. No they probably just want a specific kind of interaction with specific muses, written a specific way; if 3 of their mutuals can sort them out with that, they probably won't be looking for many more partners. like idk what to tell those kinds of people
i will say as some of my muses come & go my selectivity status may change. Like if I've already gotten a solid thing going on with a few peeps i may switch one or two of them up to semi-/selective but rn i just returned to the RPC like what 4 days ago & i still feel like i haven't quite found my footing amongst people YET ? like im. Just gonna stay non-selective bcuz i wanna see what people bring to ye olde writing table yk what I'm saying
Anyway this was a long rambly post . basically im non-selective bcuz i wanna write my fuckin bastards A LOT right now and im not looking for specific kinds of interactions. but this may change in future. that's the tldr.

Hello!! Im the anon with the ask from 2 weeks ago about how much i love your fics and how autophobia kicked my ass into hyperfocus so bad i ended up napping on the floor in the hallway and almost missing class after reading it
I just want you to know that i really appreciate you taking the time to answer said ask because i was massively anxious about having sent it as it was all pretty much nothing but an absolute ramble and since i was exhausted as shit (hadnt slept for more than 40 hours at that point in time) i didnt even remember what exactly i had said in it until reading it again just now after seeing it answered on my dash (didnt even figure it out it was my fucking ask until halfway through) so i was kinda worried about having come across differently than intended and sounding idk entitled or some shit by talking about wanting to read more from you whenever and only of possible (id fucking hate to sound like one of those "next chapter right now!!!! I dont care that you have a life!!! Write the fucking chapter now!!!" readers) and i was more anxious ab it after time passed without getting an answer (ngl i was p much straight up stalking your blog every few hours the first few days then i saw a post from you about how tumblr eats your asks and calmed down quite a bit) but yeah anyway i just really wanted to tell you how much i loved ypur stuff and how strongly i feel about autophobia and your writing in general hopefully without making you uncomfy or coming across as rude or anything i hope i succeed in doing that at least kinda
But yeah jsyk youre the first desc account i started interacting with properly after randomly becoming hyperfixated as fuck on descendants and your stuff is responsible fpr getting me more into the fandom and into desc itself so yeah thank you
And also i just wanna say that when i first started autophobia i REALLY didnt think my autistic aroace ass would like it since i never was into abo in the traditional form of the trope but goddamn did i fucking love ypur fic despite any initial assumptions i had made about it i loved carlos' characterization so much and i loved everyones characterization so much amd the whole plot and everything i felt it was So well executed i often daydream of like alternate events for my favourite fics but for yours i can conceive no alternate plot development that id like more than yours its absolutely chefs kiss
Anyway sorry for thia absolutely fucking gigantic rant feel free to ignore me apologies if its too much and (tldr:) thank you for everything!!
(Original ask)
I'm the actual worst at responding on Tumblr, I'm so sorry.
Your asks, both the previous one and this one, are so sweet! I never mind long asks, though it does take me longer to respond to them. Seriously, if it takes me a while to answer, it's because most of my work days are 10-12 hours and I do not have energy to reply, it's a busy life!! My mobile Tumblr (which is what I normally use) does not give me any alert that I get an ask, but if I check my mobile tumblr, my desktop tumblr will not show that I have an ask because it thinks I saw the notification on mobile (which I don't). So also blame the wonky app lol.
There are months of effort that go into all my pieces on AO3, especially Autophobia, so messages like these that show that people know how much effort I put into my work are so rewarding. And I love Descendants, it brought my such entertainment and joy during harsh periods of my life, I am in awe if my writing helped you to love a fandom as much as I do!
And I've had a lot of people tell me that Autophobia is their favorite ABO fic or the fic that got them invested in that trope, which also means so much to me because ABO is my favorite AU!!
Thanks so much for taking the time to send me such a lovely letter, it makes me smile so much!!

here we are! hi hi i’m heli ( s/h, 21+ ) & i’ll be writing jang eunsol, squash extraordinaire & the most ungraceful loser ever. she might introduce herself as olivia, liv, livie, lia, literally anything but her actual name, but it’s more likely everyone & their mothers will know her as eunsol, the poor girl who ran overseas because of one bad acne breakout, or so they say. anyway, she’s back & insanely hot, so everything’s gonna go smoothly now... right?
( stats / bio / plots )  as usual, under the cut is a tldr about her & some potential connections based on it! if you wanna plot, tap the heart & i’ll be in ur ims ♥
tldr!
designated outcast when she was younger, one particularly cruel prank cracked her worldview in half. her parents coddled her & decided to move overseas when she was 13/14, and she’s only just returned to korea after receiving yong’s invitation. she’s been back for about a couple months!
she reinvented herself overseas with the power of money & self-hatred. kicked everyone else off the social hierarchy & turned herself into the imitation queen bee she’s always wanted to be
for the sake of plotting she’s come back to korea sporadically & travelled around as well for family / business occasions!
the jangs aren’t really known for anything, not particularly great at any one industry. they’re sort of the weasleys of high society, but the rich just get richer & they’ve never suffered from their mediocrity financially, though there definitely are whispers & taunts floating around the social circles
currently a professional but not particularly good squash player. parents bought her the position on the team & she’s more popular for her pretty face & flirtatious antics off the court than any of her plays, which she’s perfectly fine with
deals with her anger & envy issues by fucking up her squash racket and/or other people’s lives, hurray!
feminism that never went past the eyeliner sharp enough to kill a man phase. which is to say she’s got a lot of shallow female friendships where she picks her friends apart to make sure she’s better than them in her head
also has a bad case of if someone else has it, i want it. she has & will steal your shit, sleep with your beau, outbid you on the things you wanted just because she can. only wants things that other people have / want, gets satisfaction from ‘winning’ over them
she’s the mean, cruel voice in your head turned up to eleven. directed at you, herself, your mum, her mum, and everyone in between
not to overuse pop culture references, but eunsol’s basically a heather duke who thinks she’s veronica sawyer! also inspired by ruby matthews ( sex ed ), rosalyn rosenfield ( american hustle ) and catherine ( the great )
why was she invited by yong? who knows, and who cares! she’s more interested in the people she can fuck over & the need to prove she’s better than her childhood nightmares. cheers!
possible connections!
the person who played that prank on her when she was younger
childhood popular kids she wanted to be like / with
i haven’t decided where exactly she moved to, so there’s space for connection(s) with other muses who’ve lived overseas!
( tw: cheating ) someone whose relationship got ruined by her, because she always wants someone else’s toys. could be an ex who got cheated on or she was a third party? up for plotting!
a lot of her friendships are bought/circumstantial, so someone like that?
or someone who was there while she was a sad, lame kid, who has or hasn’t stuck around, up to you!
better / more in depth plots can be found under my plots page rip thank you if you read all this rambling ♥

Hey everyone!! Recently I had to take a hiatus from writing/this blog. I apologize if I worried any of you, but I assure you I'm in good health. I spent a lot of March writing and re-writing chapter 12, but found that none of it was really sticking the way I wanted it to. It got to the point where I wasn't able to focus on the story anymore because I felt like nothing was working. I think fic readers can tell when an author gives up on a piece/are writing out of obligation, and I really wanted to avoid doing that, so I took a month off to refresh.
The recovery/aftermath is what I've always planned to be the most important part of the story, but now that it's here, I've found myself stuck lol. I'm probably going to scrap most of what I've written and start fresh. I think my big issue was that I was pushing for scenes that I've had in mind since the start when they just don't fit anymore.
A lot of the other problems I'm having boil down to the fact that this is one of the first fics I've ever written, and when I posted the beginning chapters, there wasn't nearly enough outlining that went into them. I honestly wasn't expecting anyone to read it (although I'm so incredibly thankful for how supportive you all have been), and I definitely didn't plan for it to be so long. I wasnt super familiar with the characters and had absolutely no idea how to properly plan a story, so I made a lot of careless mistakes that were ooc/didn't fit canon. As the first few chapters are the foundation for the story, I really think they reflect on the later stuff, even if I've improved since they were made.
While I'm trying my best to be proud of it as a whole because it's really helped me grow as an author (and it's also incredibly important to me), I've been thinking about rewriting it from the start, and making a totally separate spin-off fic that's gonna be closer to what the story is to me now. I'd probably shift around some of the core elements and make it better from a technical standpoint. (Mostly fixing where I've messed up on the timeline, adding in/taking away some scenes, making an actual outline, and having Ed make some different choices that I feel suit him more as a character. It'd probably dive more into the realm of psychological horror, too.) I'd still keep up the original and I'd at least finish chapter 12, but it's something I've been thinking on as a possibility.
The only problem with this is that I really don't wanna give up on the potential that DLB has right now, and I'm also afraid it'll be rather draining to revisit the themes, both as an author and for all of you as readers. It's a heavy story, and while a lot of choices that I made early into it are bugging me, I think Ed/Al deserve a break. I also don't want it to get repetitive because don't get me wrong, some of the scenes would probably be kept almost exactly the same.
With those rambles out of the way, I hope you're all doing well. Thank you for the patience, and please let me know what you think!! All of you have been so great to hear from, and once again, apologies for ghosting.
(also depending on how much scrapped material for 12 I can't find a use for, I might just plop some scenes on here lol. A lot of them I'm absolutely in love with, but they don't fit quite how I want them to into the plot)
TLDR; Im rewriting all of chapter 12, and I'll post it when it's finished. Depending on how I feel after that, I might start a separate spin off fic that follows a similar premise but changes some core elements.

I posted both the scanned version and unscanned bc i wasn't sure if the black was too hard to see in the scanned version
(Explanation for vent art under the cut)
this gets kind of ramble-y, sorry about that. tldr is i listened to corpse husband's voice and started getting upset because i feel like im never gonna sound like that, and it made me sad and angry. the best way to describe the feeling was this art and writing "FUCK" a lot in my journal.
Hi guess who finally figured out who corspe husband is, and now understands the memes about envying his voice, holy fuuuuuck. I don't know how real my feelings are, since a lot of the time anytime i act out emotionally i worry that i am being overdramatic or "feeling things more intensely than they actually are/need to be," if that makes sense. But hey if all my other emotions feel performative most of the time, these ones are probably as real as the others. but i digress; Im fuckin angry and upset at the world, i feel just AGHGH! im mad because i feel like even when i go on T im never going to have a voice like that, and it kind of fucking sucks. ok it sucks a lot! like dude, damn, fuck. something like that would be amazing and i know i can never have it. it's kind of comforting to know that other guys around him are jealous of his voice too and like it a lot, but it still hurts. this hurts.
GOD i just wish i could come out already, i wish i was already a boy. growing up afab gave me a lot of important experiences and shit, yeah of course, but like. fuck., i just wanna be a boy....
thank u to the girl i *was.* but i can't keep being her. i have to be me, i have to be him.
fuck, i hope my voice drops when i get on T. it would suck so fucking much if it doesn't. it doesn't have to be corpse husband level, althought that'd be lit, just down, please god.

Glad you took that nap earlier then! Do you wanna talk about your riddler stuff that’s on your brain? I wouldn’t mind reading, I like reading your stuff!
oh boy a blank cheque for mayhem
you might regret this when i spend the next 4 hours rambling >:)
things that currently live rent free in my brain
so i have an idea for a fic id like to write. a reader x arkham riddler one. basic premise is that riddler is having a nightmare or has had a breakdown after the events of arkham knight. its a terrible night outside, pouring down and freezing ( as it always is in northern ireland in the winter ha.). tldr riddler comes into readers room bc he’s crying an they have a sweet little cuddle and comfort session under the blankies while listening to the rain outside.
speaking of rain. i wrote an angsty fic called Rain on my ao3. it was of riddler on the docks outside the pinkney orphanage after he realises batman abandoned him and died. i’d like to do a reader insert version and finish the sequel i have in my docs because im a sucker for angst. 
im trying to wrangle the brainworms for the second part of the telltale riddler fic. its not going how i want it to but like...im too attached to the idea to just scrap it. i want to try and make it work but like i said, brain worms not cooperating. 
constant streams of riddler angst. riddler crying and needing held like a child, riddler having a nightmare and coming to bed for comfort. riddler suffering fuels me
honestly? general nonsense with various riddlers. like just imagining he’s with me in the grocery store saying funny shit, keeping myself entertained in quarantine by imagining him in various scenarios ( which is how i sometimes get my headcanon ideas)
i have a SHITLOAD of character abc’s, nsfw and sfw alphabet stuff to do  for arkham riddler ( all 4 of them) arkham scarecrow, blacklight riddler and my oc/selfie shepherd. these things are min 5000 words and i just cant be bothered with it right now. i WANT to do it but like. as soon as i open the document i get discouraged by the sheer scale of the task
my tablet is gathering dust at the end of my sofa. again, i WANT to draw but i just dont have the mental energy . its probably why im blazing through these asks, i can sit on my butt on the sofa and just type i dont really have to focus too much, just imagine my riddling boys in whatever scenario the asker wants.
id like to draw some scenes from my fics. ive done some shipping things on my main account of blacklight shep and blacklight riddler. there is a fic i wrote called “hiccups” where shepherd adjusts eds tie. its very sweet and id like an excuse to draw her a fancy outfit bc her normal one is plain compared to riddlers gold garb. 
speaking of my fics. these damned prompts from my main account: Edward: After this is over, feel free to lose my number Jonathan giving Edward a back massage when they flop on the couch or bed. Shepherd and Edward getting sick at the same time. i got a friend to send me these so i could use them but this was BEFORE i decided to start a batman blog. they drive me nuts every time i see them because they arent on the batman blog and theyre just messy and they just SIT THERE. 
lastly, and i cannot stress this enough, i NEED to write down my blacklight au. it needs to get out of my head and onto paper before i forget like i did last time. tldr my blacklight au is a sort of remix of the injustice world, where superman is evil. it starts off with kid shepherd meeting kid scarecrow and ends with her world hopping to the arkhamverse. i don't know if you've read dark knights metal or know about the Nth dimensions or any of that but i'm trying to bring some of that dc canon into blacklight without making it hella complicated. i should just focus on building up to what would be the start of the injustice story before i get ahead of myself but you all know me. i'm an excitable over-writer with too many ideas .
maybe i should write them down first or something. like on paper rather than a fic or bullet points . sometimes physically writing it helps you get your ideas out...
i have a few other riddler brain worms right now but im keeping this sfw so those worms will stay firmly hidden in my brain closet, where they belong XD
ANYWAY
thank you for asking. its nice to just have, as i put, a blank cheque for mayhem and space to ramble. no one irl in my life is interested in batman so i have to save it all up for this blog and discord 
oh well. cest la vie
- shep 💙

What choice did you do at the end of ILITW and what was your reasons for your choice?
(and omg I live for your art)
firstly thank u :’) and secondly this ask got me emo bc a lot of the story for me personally is devon dealing with her trauma horribly. she was a pretty hurt, angry, and aggressive senior in high school . she and noah get along together because they shared the same fatalistic humor, taste (like with food, tv shows, books etc), and were determined to fix the redfield situation.. ofc noah had a different idea as to how BUT that doesn’t change the fact that theyre determined <3
this kiiinda gets long so it’s under the cut! otherwise, tldr: noah sees devon as a sister and wants to help jane, pulls the ‘i’m her brother’ card to one up her, and sacrifices himself so that devon can live! it’s a “i couldn’t save jane, but i can help you” situation :’)
noah and devon are extremely close and see each other as an insanely close friend. i think if they had longer after they reconnected, they really would have become ride or die best friends, a la tom and andy… so there’s a very long argument about who should die . which… it’s just SO like these idiots to argue about who gets to sacrifice themselves 💀💀
devon genuinely thinks its her “turn” to die and noah thinks similarly. devon considers noah a really good friend and even if she was hurt/angered by the betrayal, she’s a lot more distressed by the idea that jane had been alone and trapped as redfield for years … WHILE devon’s been going to homecoming, spending time with their friends, n trying to destroy what’s left of jane’s spirit without meaning to. dev figures the least she can do is protect noah and stop their mother from losing her only living child. ‘the whistle wasn’t magic but she promised to protect jane all those years ago and now she’s going to help her one last time’ kinda mentality !
meanwhile noah thinks this entire thing is his fault for being selfish and is angry bc devon’s been a good, a real friend that always wanted the best for jane! he has been delighted to see devon literally come alive in front of his eyes . with her acceptance to a music conservatory, getting the guy, and being actually happy again, noah’s thinking is that he’s messed it up and managed to get his only friend (after the betrayal he doubts the rest of them like him much ...) into mortal danger when her life is finally starting to go right. he doesn’t want devon to lose all that because he made a bad decision.
after they’re both exhausted after yelling for what feels like hours, he very quietly says, “devon, i want to see her. i wanna talk to her and i can’t let another sister die again on my watch. let me do this.”
n devon is kinda stunned realising noah like. oh shit we became siblings somewhere along the way huh? and she goes in for a hug and it’s bittersweet and they’re crying but also trying to drop wisecracks at the same time. she harbors A LOT of guilt over the decision regardless, but she is grateful for the chance that noah gave her :)
post-sacrifice devon mellows out more and is better at controlling her temper. by ilb, she’s adjusted well and getting better and it is not only bc she’s THRIVING and in a much better space mentally, but she’s genuinely helped by her visits to noah. devon very dearly wants to protect him, even if it means not telling the ilitw gang- she researches how to save him in her free time and how bring him back, if its at all possible !!
anyways anon im so sorry this got out of hand . i’ve been trying to answer this for like a week but i keep cutting the words down like. can you believe this is the abridged version?? i deleted whole paragraphs before posting bc i was literally writing an essay lMSLDFKSJDF but thank u for asking this !! love rambling about devon :’)
if you meant “why did you as a player choose the outcome?” and you didn’t mean my personal hcs for my mc i’m so sorry... but the answer is simple: i want devon evans-park to go to every single basketball andy plays at, and i was not about to let noah ruin that for her. even if i am a noah apologist ... andy stan first, human being second 😌😌

tell us abt ur ocs king!
oh you wanna know about the Lads huh... alright i gotchu. ill probably put this under a cut but we'll go over the main few i have right now-- but rest assured, i have a lot of others floating around in the background that don't get the amount of attention these folks get. also this ended up taking a hot minute because i was writing A's section and took like an hour on two massive paragraphs SO im shortening this by a lot. if people want to hear more i might make another post abt these folks in more rambling detail. let's get down to it.
A is the oldest oc ive got. i got very distracted writing abt his backstory, but a tldr is that he's one of the four siblings that created the universe. he's what humans would recognize as the first demon, and as of the current moment is what, again, we would recognize as the devil. he's not supposed to be that. his brother, B, is supposed to be that-- before he fucked off seemingly out of existence and left the bullshit of death and the underworld for his severely underprepared and unwilling brother, the only one even remotely powerful enough to take on a frankly ridiculous amount of responsibility. A fucking despises B for this. the siblings never got along well in the first place, but the animosity A holds for B is on another level-- especially now that his brother has come back from wherever the hell he fucked off to.
A himself is a blatant enigma on the surface of the earth: standing at 8'7, with opalescent hair, neon colored eyes embedded in his dark skinned muscular build, and a viciously bright white smile made of bestial massive fangs and gilded with a black scar tissue glasgow grin, just to give you an idea of how eerie he is to see in your local supermarket. not only does he look something unholy, but his personality is something unique as well-- an outer layer of laid back nonchalance and lazy alcoholism hiding the fact that A is, indeed, a god; one well versed in violence and savage power dynamics who's seen more planets and years feasible to any mortal mind. he may spend most of his days dicking around with his thirty plus dogs on a sprawling and isolated east coast estate, teasing his son and thinking on memories of his former wife while being just as personally neglegent of his otherworldly tasks as his brother once was (though at the very least A has a system set up in the underworld), but he knows of his own brutal strength, unreasonable power, and sharp mind in ways only his siblings ever got close to knowing.
tldr: A is a god living on earth with his son and thirty dogs, who's power is only tempered by his penchant for drinking and the sheer amusement he finds in living as a normal person despite being anything but.
jason lily timaeus is A's nineteen year old adopted human son. there isn't much to be said for his backstory, as A raised him as nothing but human-- with a human upbringing, human education, and human life for as long as he could manage. despite jason's indesputable human nature, jason is gifted in a way beyond human, with the ability to manipulate shadows as near tangible objects. there's a little more intricacy to how jason's power exactly works, but he's quite skilled with his ability nonetheless, able to use it to do light vigilantism and less light acts of rebellion. whether or not he was born with his powers or they were a side effect of being raised by a god, no one really knows, nor does jason himself care to know.
jason is a wild dude. 6'2, with a constant rotation of dyed hair and a bright big smile that squints his eyes shut almost every time he does smile. he's half black, with dark skin, freckles, brown eyes, and usually black nails. he's got a pretty lean build-- nowhere near as STACKED as his pops, but more than muscular enough to do some pretty impressive feats of strength and, more often, acrobatics. he's very punk in his aesthetic: worn black leather jacket, plenty of patches, and usually some ratty pants and his beloved steel toed boots with some occasional variety. like his father, he's also got some sharp teeth-- not exactly like the hell maw A has, but he's got the classic sharp anime fangs. both he and A are trans men ftr. jason is gay and A is uhhhhh bi? probably? who knows. jason was also originally a bnha oc gjekcndkfk
tldr: jason is 6'2 and ready to kick your ass at any given moment in time with his short temper and confidence in his own abilities. has shadow manipulation abilities, gets into arguments with his dad a lot, and works at a local coffee shop when he's not running around doing dumb and well meaning shit with his power.
uhhh the next one we'll talk about is the Local Good Boy, Saint Miles! saint miles is a black scottish sweetheart with a gentle soul and even gentler smile. despite his very sweet and very, very giving nature, saint has had a deeply traumatic past: gifted with an ability that mimics the powers of literal angels, his mother started a cult surrounding her son's angelic abilities-- most notably his near perfect healing power which was used constantly as a sort of proof of his miracle nature. his mother, olivia, also shared the angelic power, but saw them both as literal angels rather than just humans gifted with unnatural talents. her abuse and the cult's impact on saint's life came to a head when, in a desperate attempt to get saint to accept and acknowledge what he was, she went full Be Not Afraid angel and decided to try and destroy the small town they lived near in a show of deranged and desperate power. saint, probably about ten to eleven years old, panicked and essentially blew up both his mother and the town in a desperate attempt to make her stop. after this, saint was given back to his father, and raised on his father's sheep ranch.
saint is a big sweetheart and a bit of a pushover because of his I Will Help Anyone Who Asks Of Me mindset. soft spoken and pretty gentle overall despite his 6'10 stature and absolute fucking beefed build, with very soft eyes that tend to be a little lidded as if perpetually sleepy and a grin that seems just as sleepy. green eyes, almost strawberry blonde wavy hair, with brown skin and a notable lack of scars or other blemishes as well. he always stands a little hunched over w/ his shoulders slumped as to seem less tall and more approachable. despite his warm and kind personality, saint is skilled at keeping emotional distance with people, and doesn't often use his abilities besides in worst case scenarios or if someone needs some healing. another couple of notes: saint is terrified of anything that gives off any classically unholy/demonic/Bad Vibes (not due to his ability but more so to what his mother engrained on him), and he vastly prefers being called by his last name rather than his first. usually dresses in t shirts and sweatpants.
tldr: saint miles is a gentle giant with a lot of trauma, a LOT of power, a put others before yourself mindset, and has accidentally broken a lot of hearts in his reluctance to get close to anyone emotionally. token cis oc. the best boy.
okay. second to last oc is akira saito, who's uhh. probably one of my more popular ocs if i can even say i have popular ocs gjwkfnekjfd. ANYWAYS, akira is our token problematic pretty boy! hes the young inherited ceo of his father's company-- which isn't to say akira got his place of extreme wealth and power for no reason, as akira had already worked himself up to a position of high power because of his incredible intellect and, to a lesser known extent, his extreme cunning and ruthless ambition. after all, akira got his ceo position after killing his father in the hospital! his mother died of natural causes, though neither of them were much of a loss to akira, who was neglected by his mother and used for cybernetic experimentations by his father/the board of the family company. akira has deeply intricate weaponry and cybernetic enhancements all throughout his body (limbs specifically), but because of their extreme prototype state, they are just as painful as they are powerful. not that it stops him from using them. akira is the oldest of three siblings-- himself, middle sibling strawberry, and youngest brother chase, neither of which he's particularly close with though they are all still in contact.
akira's has two goals in life tied to one another: to become immortal, and a step beyond that-- to become god. he's deeply, horribly, existentially terrified of death and dying and the loss of control, and will do anything to keep himself on top of everything he's capable of being in control of. as per the character type, akira doesn't appear this way, instead coming across to most people as a superficially ditzy, well meaning but a little dumb, kind and giving to the world with his massive wealth. he's a master manipulator, world class actor, and absolutely fucking cruel and heartless when it comes down to it. the classic bastard pretty boy.
akira is 5'10, half black and half japanese, with flawless skin and the brightest blue eyes you've ever seen. honestly, akira's just pretty. really pretty. always with makeup. little fangs -- subtler than jason's but still there nonetheless --, a few piercings (jason and A also have piercings i just forgot to mention them), and his hair is tastefully black at the roots and white/platinum bleached everywhere else. he also has these thing blue/silver glowing lines on his arms and to his fingertips, where they split open and reveal the weaponry in that horrible mess of gore and blood. his outfits are always meticulous, beautiful, and high end, and usually feature a fluffy pink jacket. everything about akira is curated.
tldr: akira saito is the oldest sibling of his absolutely disastrous and ugly family, a control freak to some ungodly degree, and is as dangerous as he is beautiful. a tiger. a beautiful, dangerous, smart, and horrible tiger. the problematic pretty boy!
OKAY! last man! while the four ive mentioned so far can all feasibly be in the same verse, this last one is a fate fanservant who technically came into existence a few years ago and has lately been honed into a more fleshed out and proper fate oc. sorry for being fate on main but i genuinely love this oc in of his own right.
the OC in question is the beast wolf of nordic mythos, fenrir. berserker class servant (though he's a beast in some verses). fenrir is, of course, from Norse mythology, most notable for the story of his binding and for his role in ragnorok: the devourer of the gods and the world, enacting his own fury and revenge on those who imprisoned him and left him to rot. i won't retell the whole ass fenrir myth (look up the binding of fenrir on thenorsegods.com for a really beautiful interpretation of his story), but rest assured, fenrir is fucking pissed. he hates the gods, he doesn't particularly care for humanity, and he wishes nothing more than to devour the world in an attempt to satiate his endless hunger and endless rage. above all of this, however, fenrir hates tyr-- the god of war who's hand he snapped off in rage to his and the gods' betrayal. fenrir and tyr were friends, they grew up together as tyr was the only god who wasn't afraid of him. (in fate they were gay and there's nothing you can do about it.) tyr betrayed him, with the rest of the gods, and fenrir will never forgive him for that.
fenrir is 7'2, muscular and with scars all over his dark skin. he's got orange eyes with slit pupils, dark brown hair with a scruffy beard, and of course yellowed, sharp, wolfish fangs. in his more common human form as a servant, (though rest assured he can be a fuck all big wolf if he so chooses, it's just a matter of mana) he dresses in ragged and worn leather armor, with chipped and slightly rusted plate mail interwoven with the otherwise all leather armor, thick, baggy pants, and worn leather boots. all of it is in poor condition. on top of the nordic armor, he also wears a black wolf pelt, with the head and jaw over his own head and the rest of the pelt draped over his shoulders and back. however! under this! a surprise!!! fenrir has black wolf ears! ragged and grimy and torn at the tip of one. he also has a tail. of course. and maybe he's got peets alongside his absolutely vicious claws. his most obvious scars are along his wrists, ankles, throat, and one on the bottom of his jaw-- where he was either bound by glepnir or stabbed through to the ground through the mouth.
he's not a, uh, particularly friendly individual. he's pretty standoffish and hostile when you first meet him and usually past that as well, preferring to be alone and getting aggressive and violent at any slight signs of provocation he might interpret-- and even if someone's not being hostile towards him, more often than not, he'll just... try and run them off with aggressive and short words. despite all that, it's not impossible to befriend him, and if you were to befriend him, you'd find yourself with a very protective wolf man at your side at all times. he has a massive soft spot for kids (due to the nature of his psuedo servant host), as well as anyone with canine traits or anyone who can cook food. he eats a lot and he's still always hungry. i actually have a ton of voice lines written for him gjskfnknf i love fenrir a lot and he's so much fun as a fanservant... one day ill figure out tyr as well...
ANYWAYS THIS IS INSANELY LONG IM SO SORRY but these are my main ocs as of the moment! i love fenrir lots because im always in a fate state of mind, but the other four are distinctly non fandom and also the ocs that have stuck around the most out of all of my messy pile of half developed ocs. ask me more questions if you have them but im also so sorry for rambling so much about all these folks. i have a few drawings of all of them, but maybe ill do some more... hmm...

@shiftingsupport​: 1 and 13?    ↪︎ ask the mun about writing. [ 𝔄𝔠𝔠𝔢𝔭𝔱𝔦𝔫𝔤 ]
Tumblr media
         𝔬𝔲𝔱 𝔬𝔣 𝔥𝔢𝔩𝔩. Oh hell yeh! Question time! I threw your answers down below a lil read more because I’m what the kids like to call?? A rambler.
1). What does your writing process look like?
A mess?? Lmao nah;;; So, honestly it depends on what I’m writing, how long I’m going to be continuing the story revolving around it, and what my current mood is. In general, I am a person who has a hard time sticking to one particular style or approach because I just get bored of it a lot. I find it a lot of fun to come at writing in many different ways and I’ve found that it’s helped me really explore what I do and don’t like for each genre or character that I attempt to tackle.
That being said, though, I tend to have at least a couple consistencies. Basically, when I’m writing replies, the most important questions I ask myself tend to be;
What is my character’s reaction to what just happened?
What have I written that actively engages the other writer and/or their character?
Have I actually described the scene or merely provided dialogue?
Will this thread carry for at least two more replies and, if not, should I end it or can I add something to make it keep going?
I’ll go ahead and give you some examples using writing that I’ve previously written to paint what I mean with each of them. For the first point, that’s the one that most people I’ve seen tend to have the best grip on, obviously. People who do roleplay tend to really know their own characters and can write them really compellingly. Most of the time, this part of the writing comes from the other player setting up a question or scenario and my character basically engaging with it. Typically, reactions tend to be the first thing I’ll actually be the first thing I put into a reply and I think that they are really important to keeping a fluid transition from one character to the next. 
Tumblr media
In the above example, you can kinda see what I’m talking about. Basically, Izzy made Gwen say something and Billy here gave a very basic response to it. Most of the time, I find dialogue or verbal responses are the best because usually the other character should pick up on them, but I like mixing in physical reactions and more internal monologues alongside those verbal responses. Sometimes, if two characters are in tune enough with each other, it actually can be really rad to get away with only physical reactions and internal dialogues, but that often requires a certain connection and history between characters to make accurate conclusions about what might be going through their head. Here is a great example between one of my mains and Nay from my old blog.
Tumblr media
Basically, Nay notices that Oswald is probably getting emotional over the fact they’re standing in front of this grave and looks down to get a better idea of who Oswald is getting so upset over. Oswald then follows his line of sight to the headstones, themselves. It’s a more sad scene, so not only is the lack of actual verbal responses very fun to play with, it’s also much more appropriate for the tone of the thread. This is something I love to try and play with a lot, but I avoid doing it as much with people who I have not already threaded with a few times.
After that, I then have to try to actively engage the other writer or create an opportunity for them to add to the thread as well. Especially when writing with someone new or for whom you may not have an immediate chemistry with, it becomes very important to throw them a bone, so I usually will do this as a follow up. I personally don’t love using questions to carry a thread, but it can be a good way to give an explicit indication of how the other person can contribute to it and it can be a lot more comfortable for people who are new to interacting with me and may be hesitant to just throw new ideas at me without having an extensive conversation about it. Here is an example where Naomasa responded to a question that Oboro poses and interacts with a nonverbal. 
Tumblr media
These first two bullets are what I usually consider the meat of the reply, so the most work is put into them. Everything else is filler and tends to be what actually makes the replies prettier and more interesting. In many cases, adding the last two can even happen naturally when you are trying to come up with ways to do the former, but it’s still something I keep in mind to look out for when I’m writing. Of the four points, I think that the one I probably struggle with the most is the one that revolves around describing the scene and I think that has been what’s kept me from reaching that multi-para/novella goal that I really wanna be able to do when writing threads, but I’ve been putting in more work to try and get on top of that one. 
The final point is basically just thinking about what I can add to try and keep a thread engaging. This is when I really tend to bring in that plot and start advancing it. Introducing a conflict or a new activity in the scene that might not have otherwise been relevant before now can really revive a thread and I tend to do that a lot if I feel like a thread is dying out too quickly. Sometimes it takes, sometimes it doesn’t but it’s basically just my way of jumpstarting an interaction I feel like didn’t have enough substance to get off the ground in the first place. The example for this one is between Naomasa and Jasper - Yes, I know it’s the same person, again, but it’s because Fabgen is ridiculously good at doing the whole “yes and” thing and really we should all just take some time to appreciate them - in which the two of them are both responding to a crisis of some kind. I had felt the nature of the thread hadn’t given them a concrete way to continue to interact with each other, so I made up a random conflict that they both could work! In this case, it was some random kid running into danger.
Tumblr media
After ALL of that, basically the last thing I tend to do for a thread is proofread and format. In a perfect world, I’d actually do the whole proofreading thing more often, but lmao nah. Basically, tldr, my writing process when doing threads is:
1). Respond to what the other person says. 2). Give them something to respond to. 3). Introduce a new plot point as necessary. 4). Fill in scene details and revise as necessary.
If you read back on my old threads, you’ll probably notice most of them follow this linear outline. Sometimes I’ll switch a couple things around, but 95% of the time you can literally cut my replies pretty into these parts without too much trouble. Also yall should go check out the people in these example threads because they’re all very talented and worth interacting with!! 
13). What do you look for in an RP partner?
Hmm.... An excellent question let’s see...
Tumblr media
Typically, these are things that make or break rp relationships:
Have concise rules/ooc pages that includes information such as their name, their pronouns, their age and their triggers. For certain fandoms, I also tend to look for stances on certain major discourse points.
Have the ability to para or multi-para threads and 3rd person POV. We don’t have to always do this, but I do really prefer this kind of RP.
Have the ability to participate in joke/crack posting
Read my character info or at least my rules before interacting with me. I know they are long and tedious and that I tend to ramble, but there are some important things in there that may vastly differ from many other people in the RPC and it’s important to me that everyone takes those things into account when engaging with me.
Have discord for OOC conversations and extended plotting or, at the very least, be comfortable chatting regularly via IM.
Follow me. It’s not necessary to interact with me and I 100% will interact with people who are not mutuals, but I typically tend to assume others around me are mutuals only regardless of whether or not they actually are and it’ll often put most of the responsibility on the other person to come interact with me if they want to thread.
I tend to main with people who will have OOC conversations with me about our characters and who are willing to adapt to fit into the settings / verses which I have already created for my characters. I am always seeking out familial relationships of ANY kind and will usually be quick to main people who do these kinds of threads with me. I do have ships for many of my characters that I tend to indulge in, but my mains tend to be people who actually get me to start shipping something because the characters just ended up vibing so well. I actually really love shipping my bi male characters with women, but there just really aren’t enough ladies in any of the RPCs to have lasting ships ;;y;;, so if we are able to get one going, I’d probably consider maining with ya’ll
I tend to like people who like continuous threads and verse building. I tend to like people who don’t mind having a million unfinished threads. I tend to gravitate to people who do formatting and icons, but I do not require it. I tend to shy away from people who are too self-concious about doubles or who tend to prefer being exclusive. 
Overall, I’m open to at least trying to rp with everyone! And I’ve definitely formed lasting friendships with people who did not meet many of this criteria, but in terms of what I look for this is probably a pretty good list.
