[ask-fgod]

Hello from @mcnotok! My name is Snap, and my answers will be tagged as "mod snap". I am an avid fgod Enjoyer™ :]]. I mostly enjoy Nightmare and Error, but every character in this universe is so fascinating to me.

and im @my-names-kris! which my name is uh. kris, obviously. answers from me will be tagged as "mod kris". i usually like blueberror in most utmv aus, but theres something about ink in this one that grabbed me by a stranglehold. also an avid fgod enjoyer, to the point where it actually got me to start writing for the first time ever!

RULES:

DONT SPAM

DONT BE A JERK TO THE MODS

PHYSICAL CONTACT WITH THE CHARACTERS IS VERY MUCH IMPOSSIBLE, QUIT ASKING (BUT YOU CAN SEND OBJECTS)

Story:

The backstory of this blog takes place after Error jumps into the void after he was attacked. Fate, annoyed but viewing him as replaceable, grabs a Swap!Sans, Blue, from his multiverse into the Anti-Void, and in a rushed manner, makes him into an error and the new God of Destruction. Destiny, angered by this and knowing Error would be too, tells him about what had happened to Blue, now known as Blueberror. Wanting him not to be alone, he returns, along with his newly adopted children, Void and Null that insisted to go with him.

Characters:

Error:

The first God of Destruction, jumped into the void wishing for death, and was sent to another multiverse instead with Destiny's help. Returned upon learning that Blueberror was made the next God of Destruction in his place, bringing two children named Void and Null with. Arguably the most powerful of the three gods, holding the ability to make a universe crumble with his very step. Despite this, he is normally a chill (and rather quiet) guy when you haven't done anything to anger him. It takes a lot to anger him, anyways.

📍 • 𐀔 • 📍

Nightmare:

Nightmare is so detached from his past life that he considers himself a completely different person, but he is not. He hates all reminders of his detached past before the corruption, as they make him feel complicated feelings and thoughts he'd rather do without. Doesn't view Dream as a brother, but a part of him that he hates feels as if that feeling should be there. Due to the multiverse oversaturated in negativity, he has extreme mood swings. Took in the murder-time trio in an attempt to spread SOME positivity. It didn't do much, but he ended up keeping them anyways. (my mans is soft)

📍 • 𐀔 • 📍

Dream:

Dream is extremely loyal to Ink to a fault, never believing the truth of the multiverse's oversaturation, even when Blueberror starts destroying. Due to this, he neglects his duties of spreading positivity, as that would disrupt Ink's creations... even if he suffers for it. Ink's right-hand man ruling over the Star Council. Is used as a mascot for the "happiness" that Ink can spread. Has only ever been used as a beacon for positivity, so when someone genuinely treats him as a friend, he gets very attached.

📍 • 𐀔 • 📍

Ink:

The God of Creation, Ink, is the only god out of the three that was unable to hear Fate. Despite this, after hundreds of years go by, he figures out the instability of the multiverse he has caused. Knowing this, but having formed a council and an image of himself along with it, he still insists that he has been doing nothing wrong. Ink is extremely strict about his creations not being disrupted by any outside source, even when the scales of emotion are tipped in negativity's favor. Holds a hatred for Nightmare for taking the murder-time trio in. Hates Error and now, Blueberror, as well for their insistence that he is the one in the wrong. Very close with Dream, not really ever realizing how he's hurting his friend.

📍 • 𐀔 • 📍

Blueberror:

Blueberror was a well-liked Swap!Sans (teetering on the edge of being a swapfell!sans) before he was snatched by Fate. It was to the point where he was even asked by Dream and Ink to join them. But being a neutral party, he refused. Before he was snatched, he sometimes travelled the multiverse, helping out anybody, no matter which side they were on. After Fate snatched him, he became the second God of Destruction. He is significantly less merciful than his predecessor, Error. Still helps out people in other universes, but less often due to his new duties.

While I'm thinking of it, heres a little tit and tat about how i personally see husk and alastors relationship and the direction i will be coming at it from in rps unless my partner has different ideas. if you dont wanna read the whole this, tldr is that theyre friends when it really comes down to it, husk is just Grumpy by nature and al likes to push his buttons

generally, we havent really seen al using his 'deals' in a malicious way, the two weve seen him make in the show arent for souls, theyre for favors, which leads me to believe he doesnt make deals for souls in of themselves, but as an unbreakable means to an end. which brings me to his deal with husk:

the question as a whole is why alastor didnt just use husk as scream fodder like every other overlord he took down, and the answer to me is that they really were friends. drinking buddies, musical partners, there has to be a reason al kept husk around. I like to believe he 'took' husks soul simply to get it before someone worse could as a means to keep it safe. we havent actually seen thus far it being all that bad for husk, aside from forcing him to work at the hotel. the one time alastor threaten husk is when his own deal was brought up with Whomever, and at first husk is annoyed at the collar then scared when it hits him that he messed up. husk is able to push and pull and poke at al in a way very few seem allowed to do, not to mention he knows about that deal in the first place when clearly alastor is touchy about it.

all in all husk and alastor are friends, and the deal wasn't made out of any malice or grab of power. husk is simply a grumpy old cat, as is his right given the circumstances, but hes grumpy to everyone, so its less that he dislikes al and more hes just being husk. al pushes his button, and he pushes back and lives to tell the tale. husk isnt happy about not owning his own soul but even he knows he has it easy compared to others that have made a deal with alastor, and to top it off al offered him booze to stay at the hotel. even if it was 'forced' in some capacity, husk was given compensation for his efforts. al clearly values husk, and deep down husk knows it, its why hes not afraid of al unless being Directly threatened because Duh

#i have Thoughts about them tbh #like what Power did husk save #his soul Isnt his power it was sold to KEEP his power #what does that Mean #what can he do that we havent seen #maybe one of als powers is actually husks but husk cant use it anymore? #it would still be 'saved' even if its not his anymore #i have QUESTIONS!!! #but yeah ill make a character doc at some point for the boys but have This for now uwu #muse: husker #headcanons #mun stuff #ooc

[adanaac]

Could I ask about your OC's? Specifically Ophicucus and Tsuru, I love how majestic Ophi is drawn and Tsuru fascinates me both with the concept and also how lovely you have illustrated him.

I hope you are well, and thank you again for helping me with my questions o7.

Sincerely HMAD.

oh good i get to talk about my son!!

my blorbo my beloved my babygirl he means everything to me

i made him in 2017 so hes sort of grown up with me (or i've grown up and realised things about him that i couldn't have when i was younger. i have so many complicated feelings abt this that i made a short comic about it last year)

to preface this im not a great writer dont expect good writing from me lol all i have is my personal experience and stealing tropes from stories i like

(got a lot to say so its all going under the cut. also a lot of death mention)

So. who is this dude

Tsuru (not his real name in-story, i havent come up with one im happy with), 18 years old, a ghost

he has a little sister, Ori, 15, who was meant to be my sona but then i just drew him more and like drawing him more anyway

first 2 drawings i ever did of him. he was based off natori natsume yuujinchou at this point, i dont remember why or if i even liked natori that much, but i remember distinctly hes based off him

u may have noticed he sort of looks older in my older art. this is because first of all art style drift lol but also as ive gotten older ive figured out that 18 isnt actually that old.

theres also a black haired version of him (two actually) its basically something like this ⬇️

important to know that everything about this dude is a convoluted metaphor

i lovingly summarize white tsuru as "people pleaser" and black tsuru as "nihilist prick" in my head and those are the things consistent throughout all the AU versions of him

(important differences only to me) alive tsuru doesnt act like black tsuru at all thats just his warped self perception (he also doesnt act exactly like white tsuru either)

also alive tsuru has black eyes and the shortest hair, black tsuru has blue eyes and slightly longer hair (also white tsuru is slightly taller than both of them)

if they all existed at the same time they would hate each other on sight but fortunately (unfortunately?) he is just 1 dude with issues

the general vibe is white tsuru is the "yippee floaty trickster" brand of ghost and black tsuru is the sort of ghost in horror media that stands just outside your field of view in the darkness dripping with blood

for the longest time only white haired tsuru was a "character", "black haired tsuru" existed just as his corpse at most, a footnote

but over the past 2 years ive figured that hes actually really fun to draw and play with, and in a different way than white tsuru

(wait fuck isnt this just abe trio. i do always almost accidentally draw tsuru when im trying to draw haruaki.... fuck.....)

(ive had tsuru for long enough that i just keep tacking details from my fav characters onto him.....)

halls smp

so ive been on this minecraft roleplay server called halls smp with other artists for the past 2 years, theres a new season of it every few months with a different theme each time to keep things fresh and ive just been making AU versions of tsuru for it so ive had a lot of opportunity to think about him

season 1 - halloween - jiangshi tsuru

this one is almost entirely unchanged from his base characterization because i didnt want to rp too much and also didnt know there would be future seasons at this point (also basically after the first day i gave up on being called "tsuru" bc its too hard to pronounce and everyone called me canada anyway)

same basic story, guy dies and theres now a white haired version of him (actually this is the same for all the AUs). in fact im pretty sure the black haired version of this one is exactly base alivetsuru. basically what ive been interested in exploring is different kinds of death, the events leading up to it, and what kind of person he becomes afterwards (but also in equal amounts im interested in making fun designs and playing minecraft and fucking around)

(this feels like the start of the beginners guide...)

i associate him with doves and at the time, tarot card 18: the moon, but in retrospect i now think he's card 0: the fool.

season 2 - winter - ishmael

guy who died at sea and eaten by a interdimensional whale and got isekaied. loosely conceptually based off moby dick, although i havent actually read it LOL but i did spend a week reading up on drowning and hypothermia

strangely, his death didnt create a white haired version of him, perhaps because he didnt have anything in life to give up his identity and replace it with. (and also remember the hair color doesnt actually mean dead/alive)

im only calling him ishmael now in retrospect, at the time he was just tsuru/canada

while designing him i had the biggest crisis bc i didnt want him to look to much like this old old oc i had (pic 1) but then i sucked it up and went with it anyway

i never got around to drawing it but his fingers are black from frostbite thats why he wears gloves all the time.

hes one of my favorite iterations of tsuru he looks so mad or upset all the time it makes me want to tease him, and also i think the grey skin and eyebags are very cute

i associate him with whales and tarot card 18: the moon

season 3 - golden grove - fox tsuru

honestly i think this is my favorite design of him i kinda popped off. i think im just a lot more comfortable working with warm colors. and also i associate white tsuru with foxes anyway (black tsuru is totally a catboy btw) (why is he not associated with cranes if his name is tsuru you ask?? bc cranes are hard to draw next question. he did start out based off cranes tbf, thats where the white hair and the tallness comes from)

dead fox possessing his dead human friend's body (although thats only the most literal interpretation of events; in all these iterations there's only ever been 1 person) the white tsurus are mostly interested in "moving on", whatever that means to each of them

btw my banner on this blog is him

hes sort of a set with s2 tsuru to me, mostly bc theyre the ideals that "white tsuru" and "black tsuru" hold taken to the extremes, and also theyre on opposite ends of the "hates people hates talking" and "loves to talk and mess with people" scale

anyway. hes tarot card 10: wheel of fortune to me

season 4 - wild west - mirage

the desert dragon, mirage. this is the season i started giving them actual names that arent "tsuru" and putting actual thought into the story lol previously it was just vibes-based character design. i have a short thing written about him thats meant to be the script for a comic, but i never got around to drawing it.

a sandworm-esque dragon that got tired of being a dragon and took up a passing witch's offer to give him a human form. this is all a metaphor i think. he has longer hair bc i wanted to spice things up a little

(also i consider this a form of death bc he left behind a giant sandworm/dragon skeleton somewhere in the desert)

the mirage-dragon thing comes from the shen 蜃 (which is used in the chinese word for mirage, 海市蜃楼 haishi shenlou, literally translating to "ocean city and shen's castle"). it's a clam-like dragon that produces foam that creates mirages over the ocean.

if u read "even if you slit my mouth", this is what the "shinkiro" or "shin" in recent chapters is. (i had one of those "smug because i already know all about the mythological creature a story is referencing" moments, which i also had with the four gods in yohaji bc i used to translate a game that mentioned them too)

isnt it romantic in a way? that the two places mirages are most known for happening are the ocean and the desert.

i dont have too much art of him because around this time i was uhhh (checks calendar) got back into yohaji and got consumed by it for a couple months lol (can u even blame me. it was july to september that was when like chapter 91 came out lol)

an earlier version of his design that i didnt end up using but i still really like this art

hes tarot card 9: the hermit to me

season 5 - fairytales/medieval - ophiuchus

NO FUCKING WAY YOURE NEVER GOING TO BELIEVE THIS for this one i actually ironed out what kind of people the black haired and white haired versions of him are. and also specifically this one isnt black tsuru but alive tsuru

i have a short poem thing about him, to summarize its like so many other fairytales about grateful animals granting their saviors something, but it doesnt end well for anyone

hes based off ophiuchus and asclepius of course, but also a lot of other snake stories in general, like the lindwurm and baishezhuan

to reiterate, for none of these stories do i consider there to ever actually have been 2 separate people, its always just 1 fucked up guy

i also sort of consider him to be a set with mirage, for both being serpents, and also for being "black tsuru whose personality is like white tsuru" and "white tsuru whose personality is like black tsuru", thereby codifying for myself that to him, someone who's stuck in his own head a lot, what matters most to him is his ideals, what all his actions are in pursuit of

he's tarot card 12: the hanged man to me

bonus: dnd character - alba

i also have a version of him i play for dnd, named alba to match with my party who all have color themed names. a halfling ranger who's very small and very loud. except he has amnesia and cant remember anything from before he was 12 (hes around 18 now according to him), including that he's actually a changeling who just transformed into a halfling to seem older than he is to work at a bar and nearly died in a bar fight.

(if you spend as much time fretting over semantics as me, you may note that changelings are medium sized and cannot transform into halflings which are small sized, for which my explanation is that he's been in halfling form since he was a kid, and after the amnesia he thought he actually was a halfling. this is also why his hair is white btw bc changelings have white hair. pre-amnesia in his "actual" halfling transformation he had black hair. i care too much about semantics but hey isnt dnd the semantics game anyway?)

anyway congrats alba for being the only version of tsuru that hasn't outright "died"!! if only because dnd has actual rules and i can't pull my usual death-ghost nonsense as easily!!!

hes very ship of theseus to me, all versions of him are. what makes up a person? what defines them? is it their face, their appearance, their name? their personality, their memories, their ideals? if you slowly replace each of those, one at a time, with a copy thats very similar to the original, at what point are you a different person?

as thanks for reading all of this i'll reveal what some of the metaphors are, the core of who tsuru, as a character, is to me. maybe this is fairly obvious, but all the death and personality weirdness stuff is a convoluted metaphor for depression and autism, as well as the experience of reading the things you've written years ago, seeing old photos and others talking about who you were years ago and finding that person wholly unfamiliar, that you understand the thought process of that person no more than you would a stranger's, as a result of having taken apart your identity and replaced it piece by piece with things from people you like more than yourself.

im always scared of scrutinizing tsuru too hard because he's just a weird reflection of myself, and i think i'll only be able to write a version of him thats more of a "whole person" once i figure that out for myself. the only way you see your own reflection is through a mirror after all, a flattened 2D surface.

haha this got kinda weird and depressing and personal at the end (mostly bc ive been writing this in the middle of the night, its now 4am)

after seeing my soul laid bare like this, if theres one takeaway, i think its pretty obvious why i'm so enamored by the parts of yohaji that i talk about often (huh wasnt this a post about my oc why did it become about yohaji)

oh yeah i just realised u probably also wanted to hear more about my yohaji version of tsuru specifically. honestly theres not really more to it i just like drawing him in situations. like of course the same themes apply but i just like drawing this dude thats 90% the reason hes my sona. like heres a pokemon au of him i drew recently bc i wanted to draw them as kids and also as pokemon gijinkas

anyway thats all. not really bc i could go on and on about him but this is way too long and also way too personal at this point. i think about him a disproportionate amount, i only have 2 other ocs i remotely care about and the extent of my thoughts for those guys is "i think hes fun 👍"

this has probably also been like, the 3rd most comprehensive description of tsuru that ive made, 1st being the thoughts in my head and 2nd being the past 5 years worth of DMs with my friend who i talk about tsuru with

(why was this sort of structured like the beginners guide. if youve seen the beginners guide tell me if im right or delusional. if u havent, go watch a playthrough of it, have an existential crisis, and then afterwards tell me)

[rphunter]

Howdy! So I have multiple plots that will be below, but first here's a little bit of info about me, and then what i'm looking for from you.

A bit about me- I am 19F, so please be 18+. I write in third person, and can do Semi-lit or Lit. My ususal response is anywhere between 1-4 paragraphs, But I can write more than that and sometimes I do match my partners writing length. I've been roleplaying for a little over four years now, I enjoy it, I like writing so it's a fun little hobby for me. I am in the est. timezone, I'm pretty busy at work so my replies are more towards the afternoon, night and early mornings. Only rp on Discord. I will say that I do like ooc, but i'm shy it takes me a bit to warm up. And I use ooc to like gush over our charachters and stuff.(yes, I have my fangirl moments)

Now, here's what i'm looking for from you- 18+, can write at least one paragraph per response, writes in third person, responds more than once a day, will communicate with me. Yeah, thats about it, i'm pretty chill, if you do something I don't like i'll let ya know.

So, I'm a huge fan of Romance, fantasy and all that, I love darker themes, all that fun stuff. So, here we go.

Plot 1

Muse A is a person from the city, they ran away from home due to wanting to escape their arranged marriage, but they ended up getting lost out on the country roads. Luckily they find their way to an old restaurant, the only one in town, luckily for muse A, the stop was still open. While inside, Muse A asks about any jobs. Unfortunately, the only place looking for help is The Ranch a few miles away. Muse B runs the ranch and, well he's very picky. So most who have gone have been turned away. Muse B runs the ranch by himself, along with a few ranch hands that help him and has been looking for help, but due to his being picky he just hasn't found anyone yet. But when Muse A appears on the doorstep to the large ranchhouse, Muse B is surprised..

This would be MxF, I Would like to play as M for this one.

Plot 2

Youre the new Nanny for the Torez Family, watching the youngest member of the family, Dakota. Hes kind a little ball of energy, hes only five.. A bit of a mistake on the parents behalf if you wish to call him that. But, Dakota really likes you and even calls you family! He brags about you to his friends and is always excited when you arrive.

You go in for an interview with mrs.torez, you get to meet Dakota and she tells you that you start next week.

Your interactions with Dante an Dominick dont exactly go as planned, Dominick is kind to you and acts as a friend to you. Dante, well, Dante is cold and closed off…But he's nice to you also, it’s weird. But whenever his girlfriend is around hes ever ruder to you, and Dom sticks up for you, but..apparently Dante likes you..

Im sure you can tell, but this plot is specific towards two of my oc's, Dominick and Dante. I have it intended to be MxF with a very slow burn romance between yc and mc(Dante). Though it won't be fully focused on the relationship between the two. Again, very slow burn.

Plot 3

Muse A is a well known Sports player, lately he’s been all over the media, but not for anything good. He’s been on the news due to being at parties, doing not so good things, being with a different partner every night, and getting into fights. The press has been looking into him with each new circumstance and it's starting to affect his career badly. So his manager has decided to get him a “significant other” ..Muse B.

Their managers come together to make them into some power couple. The only issue is that the two of them cannot stand each other when they're not in front of the cameras or out in public. Even then that's a hard time for them to get along. With both Muse A and B being hate each other, being mean towards each other and much more.

Will things ever get better?

Can be MxM or MxF I'm fine with playing either muse.

Last thing I have is that we can come up with something together.

Thank you for taking the time to read my hot mess of an ad, If you're interested then please, send me a message.

Thanks!

Looking forward to hearing from ya!

[shattered-starzz]

TW!!! I’m not fully sure what to bring up but— Mentions of manipulation, sh, misgendering, violence, death, alcohol, bullying, abuse (if there is anything else I might need to add I might edit this)

An introduction to my rp character…One of them.

Mossie! They/Fae pronouns, or, well…

Mossie [Sage] Zira [REDACTED]

Sage is the name they use as their middle name, for. Reasons eventually brought up.

They’re a dusked fate! A made up species that Mossie ended up actually naming because there was only 2 of their kind!

Sociopath, immortal, very old(vvv old)

Has lots of….problems

….This whole thing is about 5K words?

—

Current appearance!!! (In Gacha bcuz lazy and why not)

First general idea about Moss:: (Some things have changed-ish?)

Hate loud noises

Hates socializing

Likes to spend time alone

Uses sign when not comfortable speaking

Listen to a lot of music

Lies, a lot

Distant from most people

Loves the wild, especially moss.

Ptsd; can trigger from someone trying to hold them down, very loud noises, anyone touching them unexpectedly,

Overthinks and stays in their head a lot.

Social / General anxiety

Forgetful, cannot recall most of their past.

Spends most time away from society, and people.

Likes to match their personality to who they’re talking too

Can control their emotions well, good at almost turning them off

Has a special necklace, it’s actually a hidden key. (They don’t remember who gave it to them, or what it’s for. Just that it was a gift.)

Physically doesn’t have a shadow

Listens into spirits conversations if they need a distraction, or for fun (can’t see them, only hear)

—

Main use of attack : Magic

Magic types they use : Fae / Dark

Weapon : They will summon a scythe (rarely)

Very agile and evasive

Can have wings, can shapeshift them to any type (only for appearance most times, never flies)

Doesn’t have a job!!! Wont(?) accept jobs either. (Has no care for currency, practically lives in the forests- like, a literal mossy cave)

—

Everything past this is several ideas/plans that i have made across several months! some of these are repeats, or just. dont make full sense? Nothing is fully concrete yet, except a few things- but. Mossie is a never ending build of a character so far.

||~

Likes to wander and explore wildlife, and go on adventures in random places

parents dead

Has a tendency to draw certain areas they find pretty.

Has a cat. Named Pinecone. They are fae’s whole world.

Likes to make flower crowns for themself, considered doing it for friends- but had none.

Has eaten moss, it was a dare- till it was actually really fun.

Hates people calling them childish, will instantly go cold, and distant.

Will not get therapy (needs it)

Wont tell people what they are, or will lie about it.

loves plants, CANNOT keep them alive

Unlike their whole entire species and everything, just. Doesn’t have a shadow. It’s… eerie, although most people don’t notice.

Mossie’s headphones are activated by magic, they function off it- and only they can activate them.

Fae designed and made the headphones by themselves.

Cannot sit still for long, it literally is too much for them, they have to keep moving something. Hands, feet, legs… anything- they just can’t stay still. It’s.. unsettling for them.

Not comfortable in water, also hates how ‘icky’ it feels on them

Incredibly touch starved, but they would never admit it

Cannot do certain textures, sometimes a certain part of clothing- most of the time, food.

Really good off telling the time based on where the sun/moon is

Knows practically every language, give them a few seconds and Fae could decipher anything.

Has strong opinions about alcohol (should not legally have it, but has had it- and could sign for hours about the different tastes)

Selectively mute with a side of a chance to flip someone off while signing.

Has huge trust issues, and it takes a while to fully gain fae’s trust.

You’d have to go through hell and back to get Fae to eat more than one meal a day.

Likes to draw little silly little doodles on their old scars.

Hated the sun so just, decided to be nocturnal. Sleeps during day, awake at night- or doesn’t sleep, and gets yelled at to do so (lovingly yelled at)

Has a more neutral voice (does that make sense?)

Kinda views Astrin and Cyrus as siblings, but won’t say anything about it.

Believes everyone hates them, and is just keeping them around because of magic and how they can translate things.

Sage, Mossie’s middle name- comes from a dear friend of theirs. Best friend in specific, Mossie always made jokes about the name and how- they’d take it as their own.

It was always a joke, until Sage, died. Unable to find another way to keep them alive, and with their terrible memory, to keep that part close-

They took the name and used it as their middle name.

Likes to stay in their more ‘free form’ (has wings like most recent picrew- and a few other things, marking wise) but ONLY WHEN ALONE, they don’t want people to recognize them for the markings and such, so instead they normally keep it hidden; despite how free and relaxed it makes them feel. They don’t have to hold in magic forcefully in that form either.

Forgets every basic thing about themself occasionally; birthday, age, name, powers, friends, family-

Loves the rain, smell noce, feel noce, prebby

Them being on meds, means drinking alcohol takes 10 times more effect.

Yet alcohol practically does nothing to them.

Mossie could just, like changing their hair a lot- since it grows back- REALLY quickly, and fae enjoys cutting it

Fae isn’t actually thirteen or sixteen- any of that, they by physical appearance, would be the youngest. Yet- on how long they’ve actually been alive, it’s a bit higher then others.

They’re immortal, in the sense that; they cannot age- whatsoever past a certain age, physically.

Made a deal with a very powerful god (that they had friended) so that fae could have most of their magic sealed, as to prevent using more of the deeper end of it. (The seal appears as the odd tattoo they have, which is on their left arm, and is a wring of leaves- with eyes hidden around.)

Enjoys going stargazing, and spending most times outside- yet only during the night.

Gets incredibly uncomfortable when people point out certain parts of their body or outfit just- looking ‘wrong’

LITERALLY LOOOVVVEEESSS ICED TEAAA

Likes to internalize panic attacks if possible, and just- hide them.

Loooves the colors purple/black

A certain flower grows alongside Mossie; only they find them- and they haven’t heard of the flower any where else…. Others have never seen a flower like it-

Yet Mossie has seen dozens

Dusked Fate was named after a flower, because there physically wasn’t a name for the species, and Fated Dusks (the flower) only seemed to grow and show up in certain places and times, and the flower in general reminded Mossie of themselves. The flowers seem to physically grow, off death, loss, and corruption.

If Zoned out or fae’s thoughts go to a bad place, they make iced tea- normally… way too much of it.

Is sooooo smart, it makes them stupid.

likes to yeet out of windows

Like- “I can survive that just fineee!!” *Breaks every bone possible*

Has a collection of candles, it makes them hap

Hands down, would adopt every cat. Like- you mistreat this one? This one right here??? Fuck you- it’s mine now.

Has a crisis when it comes to style, one day- it’s “hey- this skirt looks really nice!!!” The next? “Ew. No.”

Will wear the most covering outfits, and baggy things- when concerned people will see their body, and hate them.

Literally despises the tastes of mushrooms- but thinks they’re sooo pretty

Is a literal menace to those they few safe and friendly around- let’s their actual personality show then- but when not; they stay cold and distant- or matches the personality of the person they’re talking too- to seem more “likable”

Doesn’t take jobs for such; but if for the greater good, or revenge- they will kill others

Has melatonin- to help them sleep!!! (Doesn’t use it; will fight against the affect, and then go 84 hours without sleep)

HATES chocolate. But is fine with fruity candy. (Would die for any lollipop tho)

Has no reason to have alcohol; can’t even get drunk- has it anyways, because “taste testing” or “shits good”

Likes miniature things a lot

Has a WHOLE ASS ROCK COLLECTION- IM TALKING HUNDREDS MAYBE EVEN THOUSANDS OF ROCKS

Likes to collect things, but never something to remind them of the past.

Wants to burn the whole town.

Believes they are the literal WORST at singing; and then proceeds to absolutely NAIL THAT SHIT, LIKE- AMAZE

Isn’t a fan of cooking; just eating actual solid food to them- despite being a requirement, is icky to them. They simply won’t eat for days- and always use the excuse of “not hungry!”

Loves to make various drinks though. Normally iced chai.

Used to dye fae’s hair a lot- because people always made fun of them for how it was pink.

(Example)

(AFTER DEATH AFTER DISOWNING, when they don’t go with Astrin & Cyrus) :: They have a lot more scars from various things after leaving, they have a whole arm- (left) with black markings- that seem connected to fae’s magic, and are…. A little more distant. After getting a scar across their purple eye- they’ve been trying to find Astrin & Cyrus ever since, having been completely alone- and just/ hit fae’s breaking point. They… aren’t stable, and have slowly lost care towards the world and hobbies. (They hate moss; found it silly- therefore, need a shit ton of hugs and Astrin back.)

((Shade, I’m soooo not sorry))

Literally just exists- to commit arson and kill people. Like, slay Fae, but like… in both the gay-ass and murder-ass way

Mossie (just like me) are hella adoptable. Like, come get ur free sibling/child, they are touch starved- and need the found family, and alll the love/hugs

Has a lot more magic and stuff that they hide- like… a lot of their abilities, because they don’t wanna be seen as an even bigger monster that needs to be killed (that happened once, they sealed most of it away- and changed identities)

Would hands down make everyone pay them to be healed EXCEPT Astrin & Cyrus

Family discount, makes it free (:

Depending on fae’s form they either bleed red, or black

Deadass keeps having people see fae as a sibling and stuff- and literally cries…. Like- these people care????? I can feel safe around them???? Whattt????

After Death after Disowning, Mossie…. Is still- probably even MORE touch starved.

Also, way more uncomfortable with people using wrong pronouns and always calling Fae she/her. Hurts them to the point/ they’ve tried to isolate after and just…. Cut their hair- do everything to change that. Pins with the right pronouns- outfits that don’t have a skirt/dress…. Everything to change themselves; out of discomfort

You tell Fae you find someone hot, or just- in general like… they will never leave you alone. Fae wants the details, and Will literally never let you forget. They’ll make fun of you, but more of in a sibling way.

Mossie HAS the gossip. Like; eavesdropping, and just- having conversations with others- like… they know shit- they’ve got the details.

Also, you want shit on someone? Mossie has it. Don’t be surprised if they have ways to blackmail you.

Likes to go through, and learn about unsolved crimes, and cold cases- to se did they can solve what others missed. Fae likes to do it alone, and just- solve. Likes to do that detective sheit.

People keep falling in love with them, they keep trying to avoid people- it’s a literal whole crisis.

Mossy would lose control if Astrin/Cyrus got hurt- and them losing control…. Isnt… pretty.

Hallucinates a lot, and uses the fact they can hear spirits as the excuse….. they basically always get away with it.

Goes days without eating, and then gets offered ramen and just- uhm. Hell yeah!???

Has earrings that like- attach onto your ear and don’t go in? Didn’t feel like fully piercing fae’s ears.

Broken asf, kinda broken in death after disowning….. fully broken for the inn. Like, therapy this bitch. Please; they doubt every day that they’ll wake up the next.

Abandonment issues (is that a thing? I think that’s what it’s called)

Will go months without food if you don’t watch over them

Unintentionally can read people’s thoughts (doesn’t realize it, thinks people directly said it, doesn’t realize that- no…. They didn’t say that.)

Mossie says sorry too much (just like me fr)

Mossie can use any type of magic- although if not Fae/Dark it can hurt them. (Starts off tingly, starts to sting, burn, permanently damaged them when fully overused)

Lots of self hate. Mossie just fjabdhsbd… y’know. Me fr.

This bitch can run for speed. They do have limits, but fucker lives in forests, and knows how to keep a fast pace and stay stable. Like, gets even faster- as time progresses.

Short asf

Mossie can lose control of violence, one move and they slowly can turn insane till it’s over.

No, actually- mossie just fucking is insane. Like, this bitch ain’t sane at all.

Mossie is rich, like- has trillions- yet…. Can’t grasp that…. That’s a lot of money

Sometimes wears a blindfold, doesn’t exactly need sight to do anything- they function the same either way.

Can you be touch starved to the point where you can basically feel it on your skin? And like- it almost hurts you. Like/ it’s too much, and you genuinely need it? Because if so, then yeah. That’s Mossie. (After D.a.D.)

Deadass; is the gender of the party.

Can bring spirits back to life…!!!! Hurts them. Badly. Can do it/ then will leave them in a state of absolute agony. Any slight movement would physically hurt them, badly- and it lasts for weeks, if not months. Anything to lessen the pain- worsens it.

If they bring more than one back (assumingely off pure pressure) it could leave them fully in a coma, unconscious, for months- or even years.

Eep is irrelevant (someone eep jail Mossie)

If loving moths was a crime, they’d be getting publicly executed.

Got disowned <33

“Fuck it. I’ll get a goddamn license. If he won’t take one- mmmmmm- I’ll become one.” -will therapy cyrus

Mossie is a liar. They can go from being the shortest ass fuck /affec, to being ugly ass tall- and they are tempted to scare the shit out of people by changing forms and height.

Basically can fucking shapeshift

Jokes about trauma, and then goes a little too far on the joke (like how many times they’ve been disowned)

Intrusive thoughts so many

Spirits yelling at Mossie is the equivalent to my thoughts, rn

Collects siblings like Pokémon cards

Doesn’t think their anxiety/problems matter, because it’s not as bad as others- therefore unimportant.

Can’t go up the stairs without losing the ability to breathe. (3 flights)

Eyes hurt randomly like something IN THEM

Likes to make random stuff

has pet wolf

Goes till they pass out, tries to avoid and fight sleeping

Thinks they have to be perfect, and if they aren’t- they have no value. Nobody would care for them, they’d be worthless, a burden to be left to rot- and they always *always* have to be perfect

If people make comments about themself/body, they’d change because of it. They lose their personality, and everything that makes them- them, to fit others standards.

Has failed to save anyone they care about, and has lost anyone who cared about them for not realizing the signs

Knows how to read people, very well. Can tell when they lie, have a change in emotion- and little thing, and they’ll see it.

Struggles to actually be happy, so instead just wears a fake mask- and pretends for everyone’s sake. Because if they aren’t happy, they’re just burdening everyone else

Has found enjoyment in hurting people, without even losing control- and genuinely is only scared of themself

Gets sick, and will just ignore it- unless it can’t be avoided. Other than that, acts fine- as if it doesn’t hurt to breathe.

Only opens up about their past very rarely- when not fully presently there, or trusts someone with everything they have.

Barely even has memory of their past. Something’s just- come to them out of nowhere, when something similar is mentioned- but other than that, can’t think back, and knows maybe less than a year.

Hides injuries without properly taking care of them, all the time.

Neglects most basic needs unless they fear they’d disappoint someone, so they do it for the sake of others, yet never themself.

Struggles to take showers, and physically doesn’t feel safe in them, not only that- but being unclothed- and seeing their body, makes them feel like shit. Like, they get nauseous and do everything to avoid looking because they hate themselves.

Doesn’t care for themselves anymore. Not at all, only still alive because immortality they won’t remove, because they have people who care about them- and they don’t wanna hurt the others. They don’t do anything really for themself, only others.

Has had three failed attempts, has thoughts to try again every day.

Lost every care for things they used to love. Anything they valued, they quickly grow bored of, and purely talk shit about themself for liking it- yet praise and support others who like and do the same thing

Hates their art. Fully, despises it. Cannot get a single shape or form right, and spends most times just ripping apart everything, burning it- deleting it, making sure nobody sees their failures ever. So close to quitting, but it is their only hobby they have anymore.

Can write, really well- but hates it. Loved doing it, and then reads through it- and dropped the whole thing. Because it didn’t go well together, because it was a failed attempt- and never again.

Gives up so easily, because things aren’t perfect at first.

Spends hours perfecting things that would’ve been so much easier left half-assed.

Has no care for the world anymore.

Sees all the wrongs, yet never the rights in so many things.

Willingly gives things away, because even if it meant everything to them- this person wants it? It’d be better off with them then!

Throws so much away, thinking it has no use. Regrets it so many times, yet can’t turn back time to fix it all- can’t bring it back.

Is willing to end themselves to bring back their family.

Is really good at rituals and summoning a that physically drains someone for days.

Listens to music and daydreams, stays away from the real- cruel world. That’s better left alone without them.

Is immune to most poisons, and will willing taste test things for others to tell if it’s spiked. (It drains them of magic)

Purposely burns and bruises themself, harms in ways that they can make it look like accidents. Would purposely lose a fight, and let someone beat the living hell out of them- because they deserve it.

Views themselves as a monster, and an outcast to the world.

(Which bestie, yeah you destroyed a whole town, and killed off a whole species- eternally made it night for a while- cursed a bunch of peoples bloodlines and basically ruined the whole world, hence why the gods had to step in and place a seal on them because they hadn’t lost control- they’d simply just did it for fun since it was boring, but…. You can be redeemed…!)

IT, the thing that torments them? Is actually a part of themself. It’s a part of the seal on Mossie. It’s not the whole thing, only part of it took form to haunt Mossie- and let themselves become THEM again. Tried to convince them to break the seal, so they can become a whole again.

Is a psychopath, and probably a sadist.

Is a professional liar (they can lie through anything, or isn’t possible to tel truth from lie)

Can watch the most gruesome and terrible heartbreaking things, and then cringes out and can’t watch childish movies. (Matured, wayyyyy too quickly. Was never actually a child and just- so many fucked up things they say, young.)

Is immortal, so can’t die- yet instead, every ‘death’ grows a flower were the main wound happened. (Say, a wound from their head, would grow a flower) Depending on the death, would grow different species and colors.

Has none in death after disowning, has one hidden on their back shoulder in the golden lyre inn (hiding it, so nobody realizes if they do die- it has consequences)

Has had several therapy’s to help them learn and too ‘fix’ them, which never worked.

Instead, it exhausted and drained them, and they slowly overtime off others- learned how to pretend. Learns how to fake that they’re better, when it’s just skyrocketing down.

Hates being themself around others; and only is the true them- when fully alone.

When sad???? Makes. ✨Ramen✨

Mossie tried to pick favorites between siblings, and jokingly says Rowena, but physically internally cannot decide.

Astrin has always been there, he’s like- the older sibling you wanna be, and you’d go cry too about life. The one who can relate, and you love dearly.

Rowena is almost like a twin, or smaller difference apart. They’re really close, they share experiences, and lean on each other.

Cal, they aren’t as close- but still love each other, and it’s just ❤️

Cyrus is the younger sibling, who you love and would bully, but only you get to bully them. Like, yeah- I make fun of them, but I’m gonna be someone you can go too, you can come to me, we can fix this together- I love you, but I also lovingly bully you. (*cough cough, mossie said he has no bitches, cough cough*)

So physically they don’t ACTUALLY have a favorite. Because they just can’t choose. Mossie loves them all for different reasons, and don’t wanna hurt them- but, when asked if they have favorites…. Depending who you ask- they panic, and give a different answer. They normally just default to Astrin or Rowena, but they also have said the others when they panic and just/ don’t have, or follow the rules of favorites. (Physically can’t pick favorites)

Even if they truly do love someone, they can’t say the words. They CANT say I love you, they freeze up, the words feel- like a lie.

Actually managing to say it, feels so bitter to them- but, they’ll only truly say it- despite how it makes them feel… if it’s truly, the truth.

When a one on one conversation becomes more than that, or such? Say- a second person shows up? Or just, a reunion, and stuff and Mossie is there. They feel incredibly unwanted. As if, it’s better for them to leave. Just most times someone switches conversation for a second to tell someone something, and then look back over and Mossie’s just gone- they feel left out a lot.

Desires to be the center of attention for some reason, gets exactly that- and hates it. Wants nothing more than for everyone to look away.

Can handle seeing others blood…!

Only if it’s their own. Any one else’s, and it spirals down quickly. They can hold that change when it’s people they’ve like killed or such- people they don’t know-

Yet specifically when people they *know?* Fae just straight up breaks. The spiral down *fast*

It, their other half- isn’t like that. The opposite infact, they love the blood. Crave more of it- they’re just the insane part of Mossie- so Mossie Instead, breaks. Because they can’t handle how they used to *love it*

Ontop that, the mess, makes them panic.

(They’ve tried to clean up an open wound, desperately, only making it far worse for themself- before they got fully used to their own blood)

mossie for after dad, didnt cut their hair. like. grew it out long, and dyed it a dif color (said dye fully faded when mossie showed up at the inn- si they were recognized) but like. they didnt care enoigh to cut it, just keep people from recognizing them.

they hate their hair long

Mossie had their wings ripped off, as well as most of their magic sealed in them- forcefully.

they didn’t willingly want it, twelve gods instead- came together, pinned them and chained them down, and ‘fixed them’ so they’d stop being a monster, because it was a ‘lesson’ they needed to learn. they were manipulated to believe they deserved it. which, yes they did unforgivable things- but the gods did kinda go too far.

aright, past before really any of the others met them- weeelll…. shortly before the gods like, tortured and manipulated them to like them, and stuff…. which yeah- happens/ so like, thousands of years ago, nobody but Mossie was alive when this went down.

Reason as to why?????? simple!!!!!

Mossie is just, was, fucking insane. like, fucker didn’t care for others enough to… have fun.

Mossie completely killed 4 species off. they’re gone. they cursed a bunch of peoples blood, and slowly killed them off. they fucked with the cycle of day/night! so- it was never day. the sun never rose, and, shit started dying. like- plants and stuff. they burned and completely destroyed several things, with no care, and- like, oh? happy family???? i’ll make you kill each other, and force one to stay alive- yet leaving them fucking broken.

they destroyed… a lot- like, massacred half the world, to the point where anyone- even if they didn’t believe in gods, were praying. They did a bunch of fucked up stuff, and not because they had lost control- but for fun. hence why the gods had to painfully, split their personality and restrict their powers. as to hopefully- hopefully, prevent them from seeing no worth in the world, and being a complete sociopath.

It took several gods to hold them down, and it was very painful/ because the gods can’t kill mossie- since, anomaly to the world, and completely immortal. only one of the gods believed they went too far.

Mossie also, sometime after dad- inbetween the inn, they got those memories back, so they know what they did- yet they’ve basically been fully manipulated to believe they deserved EVERYTHING the gods did to them (which, no mossie, ya didn’t)

mossie struggles to cry. like, at all. even when theyre incredibly sad- like, everythings going wrong- and they just need to let it out, and cry- nothing comes out.

they havent cried in years. and they seem to be so incapable of doing it. because every time, nothing comes out. and they genuinely think somethings wrong with them because of that.

Mossie has a seal, that’s like- making them, not them rn. because the real mossie is just straight up a sociopath. like, aha. yeah.

so, like, the seal is slowly breaking, and like- it’s almost fully gone.

as of, mossie’s hair changing to purple- that means they and ‘it’ merged back into the same person.

—>

SHORT IT THINGY

They don’t have a name yet, but they (pronouns they/it) basically are a remnant of Mossie’s past. They haunt them, and never leave them alone. They’ve made Mossie blame themself for the past- and made things worse. They’ve used their words to push Mossie away from others- and constantly try to have Mossie’s life a living hell. They won’t leave Mossie alone; and simply…. Enjoy tormenting them. It’s basically insane, and has fun messing with Mossie wether physically (they can harm Mossie physically through dreams) or mentally, in any way they want.

Basically, toys with them- and enjoys it. Yet isn’t in a state of living or dead- meaning they basically don’t exist to others. Only way to learn of its existence is off Mossie, who’s basically been forced to keep fae’s mouth shut. And with knowledge of them, it just hurts more- because there is physically no way to get rid of them. They’d only leave, if they got bored of hurting Mossie.

(^this is IT btw)

…

mossie’s got a year before they go back to the sociopath they were- and… like- crazy. they’re like- slowly losing ‘themself’ and going back to… who they really are.

Mossie had no other choice in leaving at the end of dad, it wasn’t something they wanted to do-

but they physically couldn’t stay, they had absolutely *no choice* in leaving.

mossie killed billions of ppl

✨losing who they thought they were to who they rlly are✨

Mossy has the tendency to shut people out, and slowly completely leave.

like, leave a whole entire world, and never look back

no matter what connections fae made

Mossie’s hair is a never ending crisis between purple n pink

||~

Back to complete, I wanna actually include and make this fully true:

—-

Mossie has(had?) a little sister! Biologically ofc, before hell happened. Duh.

Lil sis was like, made fun of, and bullied a lot by several species for ‘not having a kind’ it was always just like joking and pointing and asshole words….till someone took it too far.

lil bby bean got murdered. the person who did it got away with it all.

well. legally they did.

and mossie, wonderful sociopath, incapable of feeling remorse- who only ever got treated and cared about by younger sis, lost their shit. As one does.

like, the whole reason mossie killed a shit ton of beings and like. extincted a few species, was because they just. lost it.

like, took over and destroyed half the world out of absolute karma. like, your kind- including others who WATCHED my little sister get killed, are going to die. every single one of you, innocent or guilty, kid or adult— mossie the wonderful sociopath- killed them all. and after doing that. they kinda. lost control.

so at some point mossie did have to kinda be stopped so. the gods (still went to far) stopped mossie. and yeah

Mossie’s sister, Sunny! Is now a cute lil baby spirit boo. She follows big sibby around everywhere, and they talk a lot!

Most ppl cant see Sunny, but! Moss can, and thats all that matters <3

Sunny keeps moss calm!!! so like, if moss is losing control or somethin and wants to like. rage kill. or just kill. like- even just struggling with emotions and naming them and just anything— Sunny helps!

Lil baby spirit therapist,,,, <3

Explanations for this fun picrew that turned on my

ideas,,,,,

The sword isnt and never has been used as built, or; its appearance isnt true to what it actually is.

The sword is now honestly a relic of the past, and its hidden very very deep within a forest, trapped within a cave.

It has meaning to Mossie, yet not in a kind or heartfelt way….

It is the only link, and only standing thing, sealing them. There used to be several swords, and they sealed and made them feel and act more ‘human.’ the remaining one is cracked, close to breaking, and when Mossie found it in the cave….They almost wanted to break it; free themselves from being held back, yet they didnt…..

Sunny convinced them not to, and, instead, hide it further away.

Fae is still close to breaking it, and its even harder not to when they know exactly where it is.

The sword isnt just a seal, its a barrier, and was made by the gods (as were the others) just for the sole purpose to stop Mossie all the time ago.

Age and time broke the others, if the sword of ‘morality & life’ is broken; mossie would have less control over their choices and could end up like before and unable to calm down, say, anything could make them snap; and Sunny would no longer be able to calm fae down, or would struggle greatly with it. ‘Simple kills’ would get overly violent, and Mossie would literally turn into a monster…

They need the sword standing, and if it breaks a replacement would be needed to keep fae sane and…..just, to keep them somewhat away from breaking and trying to kill everyone again….

(Mossie wont and never did get over Sunny’s death….Fae very much still blames the world and wants to kill them all.)

[littleblackqrow]

i have no idea if it's bad rp etiquette to send a prompt via anon (or from main) if i am not an rp account--is that cool or something you'd rather not deal with? i see a lot of rp accounts post these and i want to interact but i don't rp and i'm unfamiliar with what's impolite

(and feel free to just delete this if you want want to answer--it's also not your job to educate every fool who comes along)

((So generally speaking, I do rp with anons. If you dont have an rp account but do want to have a back-and-forth, doing it in asks is perfectly valid. Its one of the interactions that was really popular a few years ago and I honestly wish it'd come back. That said, anons are like any other character I come across, OC or otherwise. If the vibes just arent there, I'm probably not going to continue writing with them.

However, I would be hesitant to rp with someone's personal blog. I cant quite articulate why that makes me uncomfortable, but it does. I think a large part of it has to do with the audiences that different blogs have. RP blogs have audiences who enjoy the content, but even personals are bound to a certain amount of etiquette. Thats not something I'd expect the non-rp side of tumblr to necessarily get.

Think of it like actors on a stage. Personal blogs are the audience. Some plays call for audience participation (in the form of asks or anons), but it would be weird to have an audience member on stage, or having the actors try and perform in the seats.

#Anonymous #I've been around tumblr rp since about 2014 #educating newcomers is sorta my role as an Elder anon XD

[uncertaininnit]

(otterverse recap, 2/3)

now it's time for my personal favorite season of the otterverse, season 2! if season 1 is where the joke became a bit, then season 2 is where the bit became a roleplay, and also the last season where the tumblr inbox itself is referenced as part of the plot/world they live in.

it starts, as many things do, in a wendy's. c!otter (she/they/rain/star/paw, played by @leonardoturtle) is vibing, until a bunch of eldritch fellas and other weirdos essentially show up to start bothering paw.

notable here are lung anon, blood anon, tin star anon, and raccoon anon (i believe they were all played by the one the only @donatelloturtle, all they/them since anons), who are. actually i dont remember much abt tin star and raccoon other than they were in gay love but blood and lung anons? yeah those guys were on some tma shit. also, there was pedant anon (played by me, they/them, kind of an asshole but had some funny moments), wendy's employees #1 and 2 (different anons, one played by me and the other by @wallace-marte), a few failed ARG anons that never quite got off the ground, and pink text anon (played by @wisp-exe). out of these, lung anon, pink text anon, and the wendy's employees are the most important, despite what pedant anon would have you think, with lung and blood especially aiming for the annihilation of the world and all of reality (the other anons all made fun of them for it).

for a while, it's just a lot of ominous muttering and vague joke-making, as we the rpers try to get something fun off the ground (we didn't really start properly communicating behind the scenes until mid-s3)- and then in rolls pink text anon, the bitch-ass motherfucker themself. they taunt and threaten every otterverse participant i know of- even me. (this was the birth of c!gumy, btw! she used she/xe and will be important later!)

c!otter gets attacked by an apocalyptic eldritch flesh creature (later retconned to be a tbh creature), and harbinger anon (played by @harbinger-anon, whose main i can't remember) saves star by destroying the messenger.

pink text anon! introduces themself to otter as rains "guide," and starts pushing star to do things and "follow their lead," ominously and vaguely talking about the end of days and whatnot. what really makes them different is that they go into other ppl's askboxes and pull them into their story- namely, me and felix (cc!felix, to be clear. we all are/were mcyt fans we use c! and cc! a lot bc all of our characters have/had the same names as us lmao). pink text told felix to "protect the sea" and me (c!gumy) to "trick the sea". c!gumy resented being manipulated, and vowed to hunt down and reveal pink text anon.

sadly, c!gumy never got the chance, because less than an hour later pink text tricked c!otter into pulling a lever that brought about the apocalypse that lung and blood anons were talking about. tbh creatures appeared Everywhere, and the RP part of this story really kicked into high gear. pink text also revealed themself to be c!wisp (y'know, that guy! you remember disc!), and gave a whole villain monologue abt being wronged and getting revenge and stuff.

c!gumy... did NOT take this well. she kinda did a triple cannonball backflip into the deep end and swore revenge against c!wisp. u know how it is.

however, after the initial moment of panic- c!wisp seemed repentant, at least somewhat, and guided c!otter to pull the lever again and possibly end the annihilation.

so, the group heads back towards the lever, all while being attacked by monstrous tbh beasts. several characters die at this point (pedant dies offscreen lmao what an L), most importantly c!gumy (tackled c!wisp to the ground and got them both mauled), c!wisp (who lasted long enough after that to fight off one more beast, and also got hit in the head by a pebble thrown by c!gumy in xir final moments), and c!otter, who sacrificed herself for c!felix, dying in front of xem.

the apocalypse was stopped, but the damage is done- the old world is gone, and while there aren't any more new monsters coming in, there's still thousands roaming the streets. even so, there's still hope, as the wendy's employees (who have at this point fallen in gay love) have survived the carnage and start working to build a new future for themselves. their names are daisy cabiosas (they/them, played by me), and carmin aloys (he/him, played by wali), and since they wanted to unionize back when capitalism was a problem, their new settlement is called Union.

and that's otterverse season 2!

The Wendy’s employees 😭🏳️‍🌈🫶 love stays winning I giess

At this point who isn’t a former mcyt watcher

How did you guys keep any track of the anons. Also this is so unlike season one it’s hard to believe they’re the same universe

[oh-my-damn]

Okay short PSA for the daddies that visit my inbox:

Can we please just try and keep the storylines separate from each other 🥺 pretend they're different multiverses or something? I feel so guilty every time someone makes a comment about any of the others in that way, and I've noticed it happen a few times regarding Steve lately (this is not just the latest person who messaged me, btw. Its been happening for a while, i just dont post them)

Steve is different bc we rp over dms too and talk pretty much every day. So that is why he sometimes gets extra or different attention, most of it fits our storyline etc

That does not mean I want to talk to the rest of you any less! I love when you come into my inbox and I don't even mind when it takes a few days etc to reply, i totally understand. But I don't enjoy having to feel guilty bc of what i post on here 🥺

Again, not about any one person bc it's happened several times, but the latest person is someone I also really enjoy talking to so it just made me feel so so guilty 🥺

I still want to talk to you guys and rp! I love doing that! But I think it would be nice if we could come up with a way that won't get the stories all tangled up bc its really hard for me to navigate 🥺👉👈

I hope you guys are okay with doing that 🥺🥺

is this ordeal with dream making you reassess rpf fandoms in general or anything?

edit i realize i went on a mostly irrelevant tangent bc of my posts where i said ive always disliked the dsmp fandom, but if you were wondering Solely because of the allegations, no. stanning a real person always comes at a risk and while it sucks when things go awry i do think i'm normal Enough about my parasocial behaviors that i'll be fine mentally regardless of the outcome and will leave if i must. ok now onto the rest of the post

oh i'm ok discussing the community, just not like. the details of the allegations.

and the answer is: not particularly. the dsmp fandom is a pretty unique case, not in terms of content (i dont wanna sound like the kinda person who thinks minecraft rp is new) but in terms of community.

this is not to say that other fandoms surrounding real people are better, much less perfect, but they're definitely a more comfortable thing for me.

for one, i've seen a lot of people having the dsmp as a "baby's first fandom" sort of moment. i think this is because its something really popular that is harder to enjoy passively - while you can watch stranger things with your family and get the whole experience just by watching the show, with the dsmp you need to keep up with cc twitter pages and stuff to be fully in-the-loop, and this leads into fandom pretty easily. this means you have a lot of people going around getting into their very first discourse All At Once. and people who get Really attached to one thing and feel lost when suddenly the fandom they literally learned to draw/write/etc for goes quiet.

for two, the dsmp is a category that is broad as hell. its not like i watch all the ccs. i think that would probably make my brain melt from my ears. but when you have a category that is Broad As Johnny Bravo's Shoulders, its more like a million little fandoms than one big one, and they all overlap but don't really Share A Space. u can like someone's tubbo fanart and then see in their bio that they like, have a really strong vendetta against quackity or something. or vice versa. you also have a lot of shit to keep up with, which is simply too much for me. i will continue just having like. three dudes to think abt from now on rather than 30

thirdly, the thing Above about there being so many ccs does make the fandom more Baffling for everybody, and the community seemed to repeatedly add to that. i am not going to be like "hari and every popular blogger is evil! what about people who ARENT popular >:(" bc that is downright ridiculous, but think abt stuff like duo names, oddly specific tags, referring to ppl solely by nicknames, spreading conversation back and forth between multiple social media sites rather than just tumblr, etc - all of those things had a purpose and were perfectly fine (anyone who tells you that you must refer to your friends by username only just to make Their online experience more accessible is an idiot) but they did make things tricky for newcomers. friend groups aren't inherently cliques, but some of the ppl ive seen claiming that its "super easy to pop in and join no problem!" are the Exact folks ive seen unintentionally exclude others. again, not a moral failing, just a consequence of What Its Like in the fandom, especially to people who havent been around forever. and if you don't like a popular blogger youre kinda fucked bc they're everywhere- like can u imagine if there were Multiple clones of isa in the jse fandom, and they were like. your Only window into updates and shit etc etc? not to compare isa to anybody else. sorry to anybody who feels like theyre being compared to isa even if u dont know who that is. sorry

there's also an age difference in the fanbase And in the content creators. some of my favorite fic writers in the jse fandom are young, but some are also literally in their 30s with children and jobs. meanwhile a significant number of ppl in the dsmp fanbase making art n posting hot takes n stuff are under 17. particularly with tommy, ranboo, etc. and when so many of the streamers themselves are young, it can cause Problems - a lot of the adult ccs are at my college level, peak time for stupid behavior. not to mention,,, when you look at the jse/markiplier fandoms and see a fan being really sexual, its just like, "oh, maybe this is a little weird, but relatively harmless as long as they aren't being invasive about it." when you look into the fandom of a youtuber who isn't even old enough to vote yet, and see a fan being really sexual, it's more of a "holy shit that is predatory and fucking disgusting" moment.

^ continuing off of that, or at least the cc ages, their fame skyrocketed after a much shorter time than a lot of other creators. they did not have a normal adjustment period to being fucking everywhere. i'm not even one of them, and i didn't have a normal adjustment period to seeing them everywhere. older ccs with more professional stuff going on don't make the same mistakes as the newer folks. they know when to step away, too - as much as i wish jack was back on tumblr due to the theory content here, i also get why he's gone and understand that the environment would be Shaken tf up by his return.

having them be such a trend also meant that while the fandom is big, the anti-fandom is just as prevalent. in the jse fandom we have blue and their pals (yikes!), as well as a group of people that have generally negative feelings towards sean but are normal about it. we do not have entire communities dedicated to stalking him for "crit" and the amount of people speculating on his personal relationships have pretty much dwindled. we don't have people casually dropping his address and information about his family every time they meme about him. i can talk about watching jack and mark around ppl ive never met without starting off with a disclaimer! in fact, i frequently have to do the opposite with jack and mark, because their discourse is so Out Of Sight from the majority these days that some people just fucking ignore their friendship with pdp or past transmisogynistic jokes or etc etc etc. literally see ppl calling them "unproblematic kings!" every 2 seconds and gotta be like what the Fuck are you talking about

u also have the fact that the dsmp fandom became Such an ordeal during a really shitty time of fandom discourse in general. while people arent like going batshit insane over steven universe or whatever so much anymore, the moral arguments about fiction right now are hell on earth. it is pedophilia to watch cartoons and abuse apologism to think a character who was mean one time is interesting and if you are personally attached to a character then your feelings can just override canon in theory discussions. literally the worst time for anyone to be in a fandom regarding very morally/politically funky roleplay. as evidence i present whomever the fuck thought up the idea of posting proship discourse on r/dwt2

lastly i am far more invested in the egos as far as hyperfixating goes rather than the actual creators (as much as i love them) and would have zero problem just taking anti and making him My Own Guy (considering ive already basically done that) in the case that jack. idk. killed someone and was promptly cancelled on twitter for murder.

so yeah no. my deepseated hatred of the fandom in general (despite my love for much of the art and the wonderful people ive met) does not extend to all real person fandoms

alright. bonus lore time. i literally never thought anyone was cringe if i ever had a problem w u it was ALWAYS about wrathion.

since fall 2021 ive developed a new talent which is my cortisol randomly spiking and making my stomach too acidic which can and has made me vomit 10 times in a day and put me in ER-level pain and i think it has something to do with the lil polycule of rpers i was with back then.

roster was, iirc (at the time)

26 y/o male / nb

38 y/o female

mid 20s male

mid 20s nb

early 20s female

19 y/o me

18 year old nb

26 year old was the one who made the discord, roleplayed anduin, the rest of us were literally self shippers with ocs. (except me i played sylvanas)

was a SHIT ton of wranduin in there!!! i'm not evil though so i put up with it. i asked once can they please stop putting wrathion porn in there, they were like "thats cool bro i respect your triggers" and put it in a different channel still accessible for the girlies who love to trigger themselves.

so like. heres where the mysterious food poisoning came in. when i say 'dissociative' i may not mean DID as diagnosed by a trained professional after 15-20 tests but like. i couldnt even express to a therapist how shit i felt bc i was not consistently the same type of person between appointments. if you make me come in every week, next week i will not remember why i felt the way i felt last week. i'll vaguely remember what i said, but she's not me anymore lol.

and sometimes it's THAT, the true saint norman experience, sometimes it's possession (thinking other people's thoughts) and sometimes it's dreaming but girl SOMETIMES it manifests as like.

Imagine going up to norman bates and telling him he cares too much about his sick, declining, codependent mom.

Me but when you smack Wrathion I feel it. He's a metaphor for me. I think in his voice. I damn near pray to him ig, being a mormon I can tell you he is the only reason ive ever felt 'the spirit.'

Cringe? Yes!!!!! Out of my control? Yeah 😭

There is no center to my being. i dont identify as anything. i'm not the name my parents gave me, but i am the characters i use to puppet out whatever emotions. Internet sexting for so long has eaten away at my boundaries so much there is no longer any reason for her (who i was born as) to exist or for me to relate to her.

Rping in that group gave me so much dopamine I couldn't sleep, consistently had the feeling that my stomach muscles were splitting down the center, migraines. Literal food poisoning symptoms. It was really fun still!!!!!

And then when the wrathion shit happened like. Whispers of nzoth in the back of my brain started tickling my self defense instincts for no reason. No reason bc I had put up with literally everything including the wrathion shit, the only difference was I personally didn't enjoy wrathion porn.

I knew I was irrational. Not liking a certain type of porn is one thing, I was fighting off the old gods trying not to start some shit.

Prob shoulda communicated! Communicating last time gave me a trigger myself button though. Literally the [triggered] meme.

Eventually you get the feeling that shit is going down the drain whether you like it or not. The rp's stopped, everyone's switched to FF and your laptop can't run it. It's all just kinks, someone posting once or twice a day with "imagine li-li stormstout [redacted]" getting reacted with 😏 emojis.

So I posted screenshots bc I knew the other half of the world, the one with everyone else in it, would feel as alienated as I did. I'm back in 2015 as a 13 y/o dominatrix prude and I want the feeling of 'we know what's wrong' I got from the ER. Literally went to sleep 5 minutes later because I knew I'd be guillotined.

I wake up and I have no idea why I did that. It's been years since I tore off the chunk of me that will do literally anything to be included, those two halves don't communicate anymore.

But shit's fucked now!!

It was always about wrathion. Literally always about my shitass fixation on blizzard's favorite 7 year old to unbutton the shirt on. Girl why

HOW’S MY PORTRAYAL? 

TERIOS IS ADORABLE I LOVE HOW YOU PLAY THEM SMSMSM

TINKER IS REALLY GREAT HE'S SO KIND AND HEARTFELT AND OH MY GOSSSHHHHH

i can not say much for the characters i dont know but i CAN say the whole concept of RiFT and this whole multiversal THING where everyone works for the greater whole

it's so AWESOME IT'S SO AWESOOOOOME AAAAAAA

dont even get me started on torque i can just HEAR HIM IN EVERY POST and it's so incredible to hear and see his reactions to everything it's so great

and also huge props to going through so much effort to put torque into this blog, from the art to the story it's all SO GOOOOOOOD

incredible INCREDIBLE i LOVE IT

excited for more and whatever you have cooking i love seeing your blog aaaaaa

(How's My Portrayal?)

Wow... Just... Just wow... That means so much. I'm really glad that not only do you enjoy the portrayal of my muses, but also like the story I made to bring them together.

It's funny how this all started as just a canon divergent Bass.EXE rp blog that grew into a Multimuse. Even back then, I knew I didn't want a new muse to just pop in out of nowhere. There was always a story of how they came to join the team, which is why I usually give them an introduction page for them to explain how they joined in the first place.

I've always been a sucker for crossovers, but it was probably Into the Spiderverse that gave me the idea to make a Multiverse for my blog so I wasn't just limited to Megaman Battle Network muses on my blog. (I think it also makes it appropriate that Peni Parker and SP//dr eventually became muses here)

I also knew that with the Multiverse, I didn't always want to bring in the canon version of a muse. That's why I threw some curveballs here and there, such as a Duo.EXE who valued the good in the world rather than focusing on destroying all the evil in it, even if it meant destroying the good that comes with it. But I'm also a huge fan of redemption arcs, and I love bringing in a muse that was on the evil team, but clearly wasn't evil themselves, such as Storm Eagle and Elise, and give them proper arcs to redeem themselves rather than have them killed off like in canon.

And Mr. Tinker... I really loved the character when he was introduced him, and even though it was inevitable that he would go back to being Dr. Eggman, it still made me sad to see Mr. Tinker leave. That small moment when Eggman considered going back to his life as Mr. Tinker did spark some inspiration, but it was this comic made by SkullxCake and wonderfully dubbed by Swordtee40 and his crew that made me want to explore the idea of Eggman remaining Mr. Tinker after getting his memories back, thus making him a muse here, so I think we have them to thank for that.

Terios is an interesting case. I wanted to have Shadow as a muse, but didn't want Shadow as a muse at the same time, so I thought I'd use a Shadow Android instead. And this would work since I already had Mr. Tinker as a muse at the time. But I didn't want to just make him a cabon copy of Shadow, neither, especially since there were already so many other Shadow RP blogs out there. So I thought it would be best to give this Android a clean slate and have his own personality that's different from Shadow's. So I went with giving him a childlike personality since he was activated not too long ago. In a sense, he's a lot like the early days of Emerl, being a childlike like learning robot. Also kind of fitting that he sees Emerl as a brother. And to further solidify the Shadow Android being his own person, I gave him his own name, which comes from what Beta Shadow was originally called; Terios.

And man, was I an instant fan of Freedom Planet when it came out. I loved the gameplay, the story, and the characters, and it was a dream come true to get to interact with Freedom Planet muses like your Carol and @lilmissheropants Lilac and Milla. I was a little surprised that I didn't have a Freedom Planet character sooner, but I also knew it was because I didn't know at the time how to make it work with the Multiverse story at the time... But then I remembered one of my favorite characters that didn't appear in Freedom Planet 2 was perfect for the story. I've yet to see a single RP blog who had Torque as a muse, and wanted to change that. And since we don't know much of what Torque's been up to in Freedom Planet 2, I wanted to explore that. I'm glad I'm doing well portraying him because I enjoy writing him. The same can be said for my other muses like Terios and Mr. Tinker.

Again, thank you for the encouraging words. I want to become a professional author someday, and I feel role-playing is a way to improve. It's such an honor and a privilege to be able to write alongside talented role-players such as yourself. I sent it in already, but I'll say it again; Your portrayal of Carol is amazing and is a joy to see on my dash. She's just as cool and funny as I remember her in the games, but also made cooler and funnier with what you add to her. I can't wait to see more. And even though they aren't official yet, I also love the small bits of Neera and Cory you've done as well. Stay awesome and keep up the great work!

#wildcatofgreen #mini game (ask meme) #administrator (ooc) #words of encouragement #(thank you very much.) #(This went on longer than I expected...)

[confessionsofa-roleplayer]

i was wondering if i could get some advice: i have several different ships with someone. we wrote & talked a lot at first but it stopped suddenly. we talked ooc after months about it, i asked if they want to drop some ships, they said no. hence i stayed silent, waited patiently, encouraged them ic & ooc. but i feel like they are not into the things with me anymore. they reply to their other ship partners a lot and make new starters etc (they ship with the same muses i ship with so it is not a “i dont have muse for that particular muse” problem). i wait months for replies to old threads. ask memes i sent off anon didn´t get answered. should i talk to them again? i don´t want to come off as clingy. or should i just leave and move on? is that rude?

There's a very fine balance here between what a person is okay with and what they're not, and only through your own introspection can you decide when 'enough is enough,' OP.

For me, I don't mind when a partner replies 'out of order,' and I don't mind if they spend a week/weekend/etc. only replying to a small handful of people. What I do mind is seeing my partner consistently replying every day to others while our threads go for months without a single reply.

Is it within their right to RP that way? Absolutely. Do I have to sit back and like it? Absolutely not. Eventually I will reach a time when the emotional drain on me no longer makes it 'worth it' to have that person as a partner. If you've reached that point, OP, then it's time to move on.

If you feel close to this person, send them a message to let them know what you've decided. I think I would probably send something like this:

"Hi there, I hope things are going well with you. I'm messaging to let you know I've come to a difficult decision. I feel like our writing preferences aren't really meshing anymore. I respect that you reply to the things you have muse for, and I would never ask or expect you to do otherwise. However, I've realized that I prefer partners who can reply to me on a more regular basis, and I don't want to pressure you into feeling like you have to change how you write for my needs. For that reason, I've decided it's best to drop our threads. I'm so sorry, and I wish you all the best."

Of course, this can be altered to better fit your own situation, OP, but I think this gets the message across gently and without pointing any fingers or coming across as 'guilt-trippy.'

If you'd like advice on other options besides moving on because you feel like you're not ready for that step yet, just send another ask and I'll see what else I can offer.

Do our followers have anything they'd like to suggest or add?

I have seen alot of posts about respecting Female OC’s throughout my time here and as someone who has exclusively written female OC’s since 2012 on tumblr I really wanted to share some very specific situations that I have encountered over the years.  

Saying that we should all write with female oc’s is one things and its great but I really dont think people understand the extent that this can get to. I know I’m not the only one either.  

Writing with female OC’s is great and let me be clear- I have a lot of great partners and have written with wonderful people over the years but these are specific things that I’m sure others have gone through.  Please be aware that female oc’s are not here for your males or cannons.

- I have been told that if I dont write with their oc as well as the characters we were already playing, they would drop our threads.  

- I have been told to write males for my partners and make characters for them even though I only write females because that is what I like.  

- I have created a 67 year old male cannon’s profile (Barely) and gotten more memes/ starters/ shipping requests then my established OC’s have ever gotten....just to see what happened.  

-I constantly have to thread the needle on if I should tell someone I ship our characters or not.  

- If my girl is even remotely flirty I have been instantly dropped.  

- If I am out for a week I have been dropped, even if I tell people I’m going.  But if I ask if they got something from me after months, I’m disobeying rp rules by ‘nagging’.  

- I have been told because I play with ones persons cannon I have to ship with every writers version and have gotten chewed out when I say they are different.  

- I have had an ex partner tell me I’m not allowed to ship with anyone else but then that they were shipping them with everyone but thats okay because they are cannon and I should just be happen they would write with me at all.  

- I have had someone tell other people not to play with me and send Anons to people that I’m writing with ‘warning’ them about me when I said that my character wasn’t interested in one of theirs.  

- I have been told my girls are generic- even though all of them have been around for at least 4 years and have multiple head cannons and back stories which are each in different fandoms with different up bringing, abilities, family lives, ect.  

- If I ship too much my girls are sluts.  If I dont smut, they are prudes. 

- If I write with more then one of the same fc (Even if they are totally different characters or even another OC) I have been called thirsty.  

-When I have set boundaries with people- well, a variety of bad things happen.  

- My OC’s have been used to make other people jealous.

- I have been told that my OC is ‘ooc’ but...I made them... If my character grows then I am changing them.

- I have been told that I should just be grateful anyone is writing with me at all cause they have so many choices.  

- I once answered an ooc meme-anon about being ignored the wrong way by saying that sometimes it does hurt to feel excluded or ignored/ its a natural reaction and was instantly blocked by someone I had been writing with for years. 

- I am supposed to forgive even when people keep doing the same things.

- OC’s are supposed to write with everyone who will have them.  We aren’t allowed to match writing styles or we are being snobby.

- If you post the mean anons or call people out for sending them- you are being the dramatic one- not the person sending them. Classic victim blaming.

- I have been told to kill my characters and than myself on Anon but then gotten shit for ‘not being able to take criticism’ when I turn Anon off.  

So yes, there are very specific situations in here but I also guarantee they have happened to other female muses.  It reflects a lot on how we view females in the world as well and kind of is a feminist issue...which is disturbing considering the demographics of this activity.  As women we should know this and alot of the stereotypes about female OC’s are the same that women deal with all the time.  Dont be too slutty but not a prude.  Dont flirt but also dont be frigid.  Be independent but also where is your partner.  If you want a kid you’re anti feminist but if you dont you’re limiting.  Be pretty but dont look like you’re trying.

 Just writing is not enough.  We need to be treated with the same respect.  I’m not writing this to make a scene or call anyone out.  I’m saying this because its happened and it is the reason why the RPC has thinned out so much.

[howlscifer]

i’m the anon from pabllovitr id love to get your input on starting commissions as i know nothing lol

Hello there! Yeah, I'd be glad to share from personal experience, and as always, to preface, this is just how I've approached commissions and figuring out what's best for me! If you have further questions, feel free to contact me off anon :)

01. First steps. If you don’t already have some templates / graphics / gifs or whatever you’re attempting to get commissioned for work with, I’d work on starting that! This is the best way to promote what you can do as well as showing your own personal style and preferences! That and the more you do it, the more confident you will be with understanding how to do different things within the program. 

02. If you’ve done the above, awesome, now I’d go towards figuring out your commission set up! This is beyond just pricing but consider what you can offer and what you can provide for people. ( You can view my gif or graphics commission page to get a general example ) For the gifs I try to price around the same as other content creators ( I do think it’s best to reference other creators given that you don’t want to sell yourself short but you also want to be at an equal market price / lol some basic economics anyways ) . As for graphics ( through the time and experience and flexibility I have, I do price up for the quality & detail & effort I put into psds ), my process towards it is fairly extensive & my turn around time is what I’d consider pretty quick should it be needed.  Whenever I do get commissioned for graphics, these are some things I keep in mind for my creative process ( these don’t get accounted for in terms of how I price but it’s what I request for / do to help me create the best of what I can )

pinterest board researching / set up ( I put in extra time to sift through images that’ll match the roleplay that’s being made as well as checking in with the commissioner that it matches their vision, this also helps with maintaining the images are HD enough to be used without comrpomising the quality ) 

typography / font style preferences ( some people can be pickier about their vision while others less so )

references ( I’ve gotten requests to use certain photos, mimic certain styles, use frames, dont use borders, etc etc. )

editional 2 to 3 edits per graphic before upcharging ( case by case basis but this does help you in terms of time and how much you need to redo and re-edit a graphic ) 

03. Someone’s interested in commissioning you, yay! So when people do approach me with an interest to commission, I do try to get an idea of the following. 

What is the rp about

What is the rp design and style they’re looking for

How many graphics / templates ( maybe add ons via codes or videos do they need? ) 

What is the complexity level of their request ( do they have a specific vision in mind & references of what they like? ) 

Will I be able to create from start to finish to fit all their needs 

How long will this take me to complete & how soon do they need these finished by

A price that would be fair to the hours I put into creating each template that would go above and beyond in satisfying the commissioner. 

*I’m really flexible in designing in however style is needed but if you’re new to designing, it can be harder to challenge yourself out of your comfort zone. You definitely want to be able to please the people who are paying for what you can create so I wouldn’t accept a commission if it’s not within my capabilities. 

04. Awesome, you’ve done the steps above, this is when I’d consider pricing & how to go about charging where it’s fair to you and the commissioner. And as always, unspoken but to denote that you’re credited somewhere on the rp for what you’ve created. For all of my graphics, I always charge 50% upfront and 50% at the end. Every time I present any of the pieces of I’ve create to show what I’ve been doing, I watermark the image. When the commission is completed and the commissioner pays the remainder of the balance, that’s when the final zips are sent over with PSDs & the example watermarks. 

Payments can be done through either paypal or kofi but just as a note: both sites deduct via transfer fees so you will lose out on about $1 or $2. 

I’ve had commissions be done halfway and the remainder of the graphics nulled due to personal situations or time. In that case, you’ve gotten paid 50% upfront already so you can shoot over whatever’s existing and should they come back at a later time, you can always either pick up where you started or re-negotiate depending on whatever’s needed now! If you’re over halfway complete with the commission, instead of 50% of the remaining price, it’d be a 25% charge instead. 

05. Lastly this is just a me thing but I do like to follow up with those who’ve commissioned me by giving them a little shout out / reblog on my graphics blog at notoriousgraphics ( if they allow it ) as a means to highlight the work and to showcase a new rp in the tags! Should there be any issues with the templates or graphics from this point on, I don’t mind helping & fixing if my schedule permits it.  

I tried to be as though rough as possible but these are just some of the general guidelines on how to approach commissions (mainly for graphics) I really hope it helps and if you ever have questions, again, my inbox & ims are open to chat and I can be reached via my discord graphics server as well! ( linked here ) 

#aq #this went on way longer than I anticipated but this is more or less really how to approach commissions if you're new!
