OOC

((If Tumblr deletes my blog for some reason before I can archive it

Come find me on @betwixtstarfall ))

[hopehalfempty]

So I hear Tumblr’s Done

While on paper the idea is that their bot is going to only get rid of NSFW stuff, the Flagging AI is already flagging things like flesh colored animals or the word “titties”. So even though I’ve been away from the RP scene for a while due to school and work, I can only imagine that the RP fandom is at least partially trying to decide if they’ll stay here or move.

If the consensus is move, please let me know where I can find you/where all the cool kids are gonna be going! I’d love to try to get back into the swing come 2019, but I’d most specifically love to be able to find you guys again. 

My only reliable online presence aside from here is my Discord, please PM me if you would like it, I’m on there more days then not. Aside from that, I hope to see you guys around soon!

Man this sucks

OOC Announcement: Availability

Aka the ‘Guess which bich had to get 2 jobs during the summer’ update.

So I thought I was gonna get more availability during summer. I was apparently really wrong! So because of that–but NOT wanting to stay on Hiatus forever–This Chick is now prioritizing muses!

Muses that I will try to always be on:

John ( @itsjohnegman ), Shinsou ( @questionablecontrol) and Yosuke ( @junesjutsu.)

Muses I will try to be on bi-weekly (if possible):

Davesprite ( @almostheinous), Adachi ( @hopehalfempty) and Decim ( @quindecimarbiter )

Muses I will be on situationally:

Kankri ( @6l99dypirate), Samael ( @bellwethermurderess), Jave ( @itsjavestridbert) and Roxy ( @kittendore).

I’ll try to find a way to notify people if it’s a high activity day, or a low one depending on how much work I have. I DO want to get back into it but, as each of these announcements over the past few months has shown, it’s way harder than it merits being. I hope to see you guys soon, this time!

Below the cut is muses relevant only to fellow Discord users!

Hey everybody! I’m so sorry I’ve been away. This is going to ALL my blogs–cause I’ve been on hiatus from so many for a while. 

Honestly the short answer is that I got accepted into a brand new school! The prep for that took a lot of last year, and the adjustment has taken up a lot of this one–it’s a big step away from where I used to be going, and the processing is STILL caught in red tape, and it’s made me incredibly neglectful of my many many blogs.

The add on to that is I just–have taken on so many blogs. Like a total fool. SO many blogs. That’s come with it’s own series of ups and downs–some blogs were put on hold because of my own mistakes, some were just ambitiously put together and then I ran into walls either in logic or in execution. Many of them I want to keep trying to use! Tho some may turn into aesthetic blogs…

Anyways! What I want to say is I’m working on all, as well as ways to make them easier to access for quicker turn around and reply times and actually completing the threads I ask for for once. Thank you so much to @venusbeautyshock for telling me the Chrome Trick that’s gonna really REALLY help with this! You’re a life saver, Air-sempai. 

So, there’s that! And with any luck, here I come!

Gun Terms for Writers

As someone who writes fics with action sequences and the use of guns, I thought maybe it would be helpful to pass some things on. Even though I’ve done lots of research and talked with family members (I live in WI which is a big hunting state and we have lots of guns), I still catch myself making mistakes with specific terms and their usage. Reading more James Bond fics lately, I catch others making mistakes also. So here is a little guide to help writers. 

A ‘clip’ is something that stores multiple rounds of ammunition. It is not what you would insert into a handgun to load it. Clips make loading into a magazine easier because they simply store the rounds. It helps with organization. 

A magazine is what feeds the ammunition into the barrel. Magazines vary in capacity. They, unlike clips, are spring-loaded, which helps the ammunition move in the gun. So, when you want a character to reload, they would use a pre-loaded magazine, NOT a clip. 

A silencer is really a suppressor. ‘Silencer’ is a word that’s used in media to refer to a suppressor that doesn’t exist in real life. Guns that are suppressed will still be loud and have a sound. This is because compressed air will still leak out of the end of the barrel, you can’t silence a bullet moving extremely fast through the air, and you can’t silence the mechanical parts on a gun. There will be a noise, but it just won’t be as loud or more importantly, alert people in a nearby area that a gun was just fired. SO suppressor is a much more accurate term technically speaking. 

There are different kinds of suppressors. One important kind suppresses the muzzle flash. It’s likely a sniper would use this more than they would want to use a sound suppressor, as the muzzle flash more easily enables you to be spotted when you don’t want to be. These are simply referred to as flash suppressors. 

After a handgun runs out of ammunition, the slide will lock back into place and you will know that it is out. There is no ‘click’ signifying an empty weapon that is so dramatized in movies and tv. A more likely scenario that would prevent a gun from firing would be a jam. Or programming the gun to recognize certain palm prints. 

A great place for writers, in particular fanfic writers, who want information on guns is imfdb. You can find out what guns are used in movies and shows, and what guns characters use. You can also just search for guns. 

If you want to get really specific, check out YouTube. There are users who will post reviews of guns on there, which can be really helpful if you want to see how a particular gun looks or how to shoot it. 

So yeah! Here are just a few basic tips if you want to write a fic where a character uses guns.

party idea: as the night goes on, kidz bop versions of songs are mixed in little by little. by the time the party comes to a close, people are too drunk to notice they’ve been dancing to kidz bop for hours
