── OLYMPICS MASTERLIST
[🛹] DISCIPLINE: SKATEBOARDING
GENRE: fluff, strangers to lovers(ish), introverted reader, vernon being the greenest flag of them all PAIRING: skateboarder!vernon x athlete!fem reader WARNINGS: explicit language and a couple of sexist comments WORD COUNT: 3.1 k
“not the anti-sex beds again,” katie groaned, like it was the end of the world.
rolling your eyes, you threw your duffle bags on the bed next to the window. though, as dramatic as she could get sometimes, and as much as you couldn’t wait for the games to begin - you were not looking towards sleeping on the cardboard monstrosities. the amount of massages you had to get four years ago because of them was not something you’d like to go through again.
“it’s not like you’re going to have sex anyway,” sam nudged katie with her shoulder and threw her own stuff on the bed next to yours.
“i’m not talking about myself, stupid,” katie said. “our friend over here,” she put her arms around you and squeezed your shoulders, “needs to get laid. she almost managed to bang that rugby dude the last time, and i can feel it in my bones,” she took a deep breath, ”she’s going to succeed this year.”
you tried shoving her away, as sam erupted in a loud laugh.
“hah hah, very funny,” you mumbled, and flicked katie’s forehead. “i’m here to win medals, not to find a hookup.”
“mhm, sure,” sam said. “we’ll see about that.”
the next morning you stood up with the first rays of sunshine, a lot earlier than most people in the village, with a plan to make the most of your only day off before the eliminations. it’d get crowded quickly, so you figured it’d be nice to soak in the surroundings without hundreds of people bumping into each other. you didn’t bother to wake the girls up - you were eternally grateful you could share this amazing adventure with them, but you needed some time alone.
besides, there was a 99% probability that sam would skin you alive if you tried cutting her beauty sleep short.
before leaving the building, you managed, to your delight, to find the gym and the swimming pool, which surely would become really handy in a couple of days. then, you found a small farmacy a couple of blocks away, and a post office where you took a couple of pictures in a photobooth and wrote short letters to your friends at home, before throwing them into the mailbox.
though the streets were starting to get busier and busier, because well - the athletes, their trainers, the volunteers, staff - everyone wanted to see what this year’s host had to offer, it was still pleasantly peaceful, and you could enjoy your time alone to the fullest. and apart from the cardboard beds, the village was so nice. the purple colours especially.
just as you turned around the corner of south korea’s apartment complex, you felt and heard your tummy rumble, and thatwas your cue to find the dining hall. fortunately, it didn’t take you long. apart from the big ass signs with “dining hall”written all over them, most people that you passed were walking in one direction, which could only mean one thing.
after a short while, you entered the big room, all purple and pretty, already filled with hundreds of athletes and staff.
scanning around the huge hall, you tried looking for someone, anyone you knew, but to no avail. most of the tables were already taken, but somehow, to your misfortune, none of them were taken by anyone from your country. you sighed and twisted the pendant hanging around your neck, trying to distract yourself from the fact that you’d be forced to sit at a table with people you did not know.
there went your peaceful morning.
without wasting more time, and before you’d completely spiral over the lack of familiar faces, you picked up a plate and cutlery and made your way to the queue for food, standing behind two chinese athletes.
the line moved slowly, but you didn’t mind. as much as you weren’t particularly overjoyed with the loud noise and chaos, it was nice to do some people-watching. the different races, heights and widths, cultures, languages - all within one building - that had to be one of your favourite things about olympics.
“isn’t that the chick kyle fucked last time?” suddenly a male voice pulled you out of your thoughts, as if your brain knew that the comment was direct to you. drowning out the noise around you, you tried your best to focus on the people behind you.
“he didn’t fuck her, she ran away the second he touched her tits,” another guy said. “fucking prude,” he snickered.
you felt your cheeks heat up - in embarrassment because you were right there, and they knew you could hear them, but also in anger because what they were saying was just not true.
“i told him to go for the track runner, she had a better ass anyways,” the first guy said, as the other laughed.
comments like these were nothing new. men like these were nothing new, but it didn’t make the ache in your chest any less painful. worst part was that you’d let them, you wouldn’t stop them - you couldn’t. anytime you tried standing up for yourself you felt at loss for words, your throat closed up, and your mind went blank.
“excuse me, guys,” a new voice joined in. “the last time i checked this was the olympics, not who has a better ass competition.”
you didn’t have the nerve to turn around to see who that new voice belonged to. you just clenched and unclenched your fists, trying to control your breathing.
“also if i may suggest one thing-,”
“you may not-,”
“you may want to check out your own ass… or the lack of it,” you could hear the smile in his voice.
the two guys grumbled something and left the line, but not before one of them bumped into you with too much force for it to be just an accident. muttering a curse under your breath, you massaged your slightly sore arm and prayed to whatever force for the two fuckers not to pass their eliminations.
“are you okay?” you could feel the guy's breath on your neck.
fuck, now you had no other choice but to acknowledge what had just happened. if it was up to you, you’d happily skip breakfast and run back to your room. who would’ve thought that the cardboard bed would be the equivalent of a safe haven.
“uh,” you took a shaky inhale, “i’m okay.”
“just turn around, smile politely, thank for the help, and move on,” you thought. but as you did that, your eyes went wide, and your breath hitched in your throat.
you found a set of hazel brown eyes looking at you with curiosity and a tad of softness as if asking a silent question if you were really okay, a kind smile that managed to calm your pounding heart on its own, and cheeks dusted in a light shade of pink as if he had just finished his morning run. the guy couldn’t be much older than you and was the perfect height. you didn’t have to tilt your head in an uncomfortable way to look him in the eye, and he didn’t have to look down at you as if you were a dwarf.
his dark brown hair was hidden under a beanie, and despite the oversized shirt and shorts, you could make out his lean build, which made him stand out from the other bulky men around. you quickly figured he was part of the us team by his outfit, but you couldn’t rack your brains around what type of sport he could be doing.
he looked so… laid back compared to everyone around.
“are you sure?” he asked, his gaze still attentive to you and you only.
you nodded your head. “sorry you had to listen to that,” you said.
“i’m sorry you had to listen to that,” the guy muttered. “you know those dudes are total douchebags, right?” annoyance flashed across his face for a second, “people like them shouldn’t even be here and-,”
“it’s okay, really,” you said with a stern voice, cutting him short. grateful - that’s what you were - and it was really nice of him to stand up for you, but you couldn’t shake off the feeling that he saw you as nothing more than a weakling that couldn’t even stand up for herself. and that had to be more embarrassing than the comments.
he must’ve noticed your sour expression, because he quickly said, “i didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable.”
“you didn’t, i… i’m sorry for snapping at you,” god, you really messed this up. this gorgeous boy just saved your ass from getting harassed, and you were acting like an ungrateful bitch. “i’m just not the best at dealing with… whatever that was,” you cleared your throat. “but thank you, it was really kind of you, and you didn’t really have to say anything, but-,”
“but i would’ve been the biggest asshole if i hadn’t said anything,” he chuckled, amusement sparkling in his eyes. “i couldn’t just let those two fuckers say those things about you. about anyone for that matter. what kind of person would that make me?”
you nodded, though if you had to be real - you were too distracted by his eyes to focus on what he was saying.
“okay, that sounded so pretentious,” he said, frowning, as if cringing at his own words. you couldn’t help but giggle at his expression. he looked really adorable despite his disgusted look.
and that didn’t mean anything good. you knew yourself, and you knew how easily it was for you to fall for a person that showed you an ounce of kindness, even if they did it just because they were a good person. and that was probably what was happening now - he saw you getting harassed, he stepped in, said a couple of words, and that would be it.
but you. you’d think about this for the rest of the olympics. about his teasing voice, the slightly curly hair coming out of his beanie, the fact that you’d never know what kind of athlete he was. the freaking hazel eyes.
“i’m vernon, by the way,” he, or vernon, extended his hand.
you cringed at the thought of your sweaty palms, still closed in fists. and it wasn’t like you could wipe them right in front of him. now that would just send you straight into a coma. but you took it anyway, it couldn’t get worse than the comments about your flat ass, you figured. and if he noticed he didn’t say anything, just smiled and nodded when you told him your name.
“so, do you have any plans for today?” he asked, letting go of your hand way too soon for your liking.
“i was planning on eating breakfast, but…,” you shrugged.
“well, i might have an idea then,” he said, a proud smile on his face. “have you ever tried skateboarding?”
…
you did not think this through.
trying to skate on a wooden board with four wheels sounded kind of appealing at the moment, but now - now that you were about to actually stand on it? huh yeah, you’d rather stick to keeping your own two feet on the ground.
“it’s not going to kill you, you know?” vernon laughed, as you looked at the board in front of you with pure horror. there was no way anyone could survive skating on that thing, let alone doing tricks and flips or whatever they did with that torture device.
“just,” he pulled the board closer to you with his foot, “lean your weight on me first and i’m going to hold you, just so you can get comfortable standing on it,” he said, as if it was the easiest thing in the world.
would he think you were a complete loser if you ran away? maybe you could blame it on a sudden stomach bug or something.
“mhm, yeah,” you breathed, grabbing his extended hand. “easy peasy.”
luckly for you, the skatepark was still relatively empty since most of the village was trying to fight others in the queue for food, so the chance of you skating into someone by accident was almost non existent. but that did not change the fact that you were on the verge of a panic attack. why did you say yes to this? why did you step out of your comfort zone so easily? comfort zone was good - you loved your comfort zone. that was what kept you safe from agreeing to skateboarding on a whim.
but it was so easy to say yes when vernon looked at you with so much kindness. you just weren’t able to decline - there was something about him that put you at ease, whether it was his voice or mannerisms - he oozed with so much calmness that even your erratic heart was screaming “say yes!”
“put your right foot in front of the left one,” he said, still grasping your hand tightly. “and keep your knees bent, it’ll help with keeping your balance.”
you watched him as he showed you how you were supposed to stand correctly, and tried to mirror his stance the best you could.
“that’s perfect,” vernon said with a bright smile, as if you just won the gold medal for not falling off the board on the first occasion. “told you you’d do a great job.”
“this is ridiculous,” you muttered, as your legs wobbled. “i’m looking worse than a baby trying to walk.”
he rolled his eyes and sighed dramatically, making you giggle. “i love your form of self motivation. now,” still holding onto you, vernon walked around the board, “uh, is it okay if i put my hand on your waist?” he asked, and your heart skipped a beat.
usually, you’d immediately say no, but… there was nothing usual about vernon as it turned out. if this was your day of breaking your walls then so be it. you nodded in agreement. “try to put your left foot on the ground and push yourself forward,” he said.
your thin t-shirt did nothing to conceal the warmth coming from vernon’s hand, but somehow, instead of making you more nervous, it only calmed your wobbling feet and shaking hands, grounding you on the board, making it less scary by the second. you’d never met anyone before who had been so gentle with you, so patient and understanding so quickly.
“like this?” you took your left foot off the skateboard, but before it could reach the ground you wobbled backwards. “vernon!” you shrieked, ready to fall ass first on the asphalt, but that never happened. your back met his solid chest before you could move more than an inch.
“‘s okay,” he said, gripping your waist tighter. “i’m right here.”
you breathed a sigh of relief. “i don’t think this is a good idea,” you looked over your shoulder at him. “what if i break your board?”
“i have ten others,” he stated as a matter of fact, not bothered at all even if you actually broke his board. “try again, i’ve got you.”
the next try went a little bit better, at least you managed to put your foot down without bumping into him again.
“okay, now push yourself forward.”
“just… don’t let go, okay?”
“i won’t,” vernon said. you could feel him so close to you, his breath creeping down your neck. “i won’t.”
you never thought you’d feel so accomplished by such a simple thing, you were a gold winning athlete for god’s sake, but when you finally moved, when the board skated forward and you were still standing on it - you felt a flicker of pride settle in your chest.
“that’s it,” vernon said, giving your hand a squeeze. “you’re doing great. try doing that again.”
and so you did just that. you pushed yourself forward, again and again, until your feet weren’t wobbling at all, and your moves were getting more confident.
“i’m doing it, i’m…,” you laughed, “vernon, i’m skateboarding,” you said, pushing once more.
“yes, you are!”
wait. why was his voice so distant?
that’s when you realised you couldn’t feel his hand on your waist anymore, nor were your fingers intertwined with his.
“vernon?” you asked, alarmed.
“just don’t turn around-,”
but it was too late. you took a look behind you to see vernon standing a couple of metres behind you, and that was enough to lose all of the balance, all of the control.
“shit,” you heard him scream, right before you closed your eyes shut, readying yourself for the impact.
the board flew forward as you slipped backwards, your hands flying to your slides trying to hold onto something. but there was nothing, just air.
but then - the strong grip, the warm embrace, the hands that you trusted so much - you could feel him all around you. no pain, no broken bones - just vernon.
“shit, i’m so sorry,” he said, still holding onto you. “i shouldn’t have let you go.”
gently, he helped you sit on the ground, his eyes scanning all over your body, looking for any injuries.
“it’s fine, i just panicked,” you said, and put your hand on his shoulder, pulling his gaze back to your eyes. “seriously, it was actually quite fun.”
at that, vernon’s expression softened a bit, and after a second he even flashed you a smile.
“that’s good, that’s…,” he exhaled. “that’s a lot for one morning i think.”
you laughed, and shook your head. “yeah, i think you’re right. but you know,” you looked over at the board that was still rolling on its own. “i think i’ll stick to watching you skate. i don’t think i’m built for this.”
his body shook with a silent giggle. “i’m still proud of you.”
“thank you,” you said quietly. and you truly meant it - not only for catching you, or trying to teach you how to skate - but for standing up for you when he could just ignore it and move on with his day, for pulling you out of your little safe bubble. that thank you meant a lot of things and you hoped that vernon knew that.
“were you serious, though?”
you frowned, not really sure what he ment.
“that you want to watch me skate?”.
any other day you’d say no, but…
“yes. i’d really love to.”
a beautiful smile bloomed on vernon’s face, and you knew right there and then that the feeling of gratitude was forming into something more than just that.
“my eliminations are in two days, uh and maybe, only if you want, you could come?”
you nodded eagerly. at this point you weren’t sure you were able to tell this man no at all.
and you couldn’t wait to see where that would get you.

So...
I've been doing some thinking about a couple of things.
This blog has grown considerably, even from its start and I appreciate each and every one of you so much. Your support never ceases to amaze me and I owe all of you a lot for giving me something to focus on this year instead of spiraling into insanity.
But
Things have gotten a tad bit overwhelming recently between trying to run the blog and trying to write. I find myself either having to ignore the blog to get writing done, or sacrifice writing time and energy to spend time on the blog and keep up with all the replies/reblogs/asks etc. Definitely not complaining, you all never cease to amaze me.
But, I am just one person and my brain only has so much power right now. So, I'm planning to take some (more) time off each week right now while I focus on writing and planning since we're getting into some serious plot stuff soon. So I'm planning to be on the blog three days a week for a while: Saturday, Sunday, and Thursday. That gives me some time to get some writing done as well as some time to rest my brain.
Saturday and Sunday of course to post the chapter and respond to replies and reblogs so I don't get super behind. Monday I'll have some asks queued up as well as maybe a few reblogs. I'll still use the queue Tuesday and Wednesday for reblogs/asks with spoilers as usual. Thursday I'll be on the blog answering asks from Monday - Wednesday as well as things I get that day. I'll queue up a few things for Friday since that day gives me a little break between to prepare for the weekend and posting the chapter.
I'll probably add more days as time goes on. You can still send in asks on the days I'm gone, but just know I won't see them or respond to them until later in the week. I already get behind by a couple days on asks anyway so that's not much of a change.
Don't feel bad for sending them either, I love getting all these asks, I just tend to get behind on days I spend more time writing.
The second order of business
has to do with my taglist. Most of you probably haven't noticed (which I don't blame you lol) but my taglist has gotten very big. Very, very big. It's just over 230 people right now, and I'm sure there will be others asking to join. It's quite time consuming to do all of these tags for every chapter (especially since we can't tag in blocks anymore) so I've been doing some thinking into how I can make it easier for me, and for you.
I know there's at least one blog I've heard of, though I'm sure there's more, that have made side blogs that they have people follow and turn on notifications for and just make a post on that blog when they post a chapter or fic, etc. I've been considering doing that since the taglist is a lot of work and time.
I've also seen blogs that have side blogs that just post chapters/fics and nothing else. I know quite a few of you only follow for the fic, so if anyone is interested, I could put together a side blog like that as well that you can follow and get notifications from instead of having to follow this blog and having to go through the probably 100 posts that I make a day 😂 (at least it feels that way for me)
Having a separate blog for the taglist too would allow me to schedule posts so I can have them come out a bit earlier than I get up for those of you across the world who stay up to read and have to wait for me to post in the morning when I get up (or later like today because I slept in). Of course Ao3 will get posted later because I can't schedule posts there, but at least for Tumblr I can have things post earlier.
So let me know what you think about the taglist side blog and the possible just chapters/fics side blog. Feel free to send in asks (anonymously or not) with your opinion. I might not answer them all (not tonight because my brain is fried and honestly i'm not sure if this is even comprehensible English) but I will at least use them to make the decision (or make a post with all of them and answer it as just one).
#more than likely i'll be doing the taglist blog just for my own sanity#and wrists#I'd tag everyone on the taglist in a post on that blog just so everyone sees it#also will still use the taglist for a chapter or two so everyone can have a chance to follow there#also don't feel bad for asking to be on the taglist#it's just gotten very long#and scheduling posts is so nice#it was very handy last year for Kinktober#anyway let me know what you think

Intro:
(i'll just put it at the bottom so i remember to delete it)
I have been hoarding all of these (there are like 1000 more in my draft and queue lol) for a while now in my draft bc even tho they are like 3 note gifs, they are historical artefacts to meeee.
Anyway, I've got a cold, and so to occupy myself, I decided to just make a blog so that everything can be organised and easy (ish, this is tumblr after all) to find!
I know heaps of my fellow ✨motogp tumblrinas ✨have made archives for their favs, and you are all braver than me, bc I would lose all the gifs immediately if I tried to create new archival posts. So I just reblogged everything and am going to hope for the best in terms of copyright lol
But yeah, these aren't just my favs. This is more just a snapshot of the fandom at different periods. I only reblogged the deactivated ones, but, y'all, use the posts as little gateways to blogs from that time period, it is FACINATING.
As always, peer review is welcome! If i completely messed up a tag (very likely, since i used the mass tag editor), you're welcome to let me know. Also if there's a ship tag, fun tag or something you want me to add in the mass tag editor, lemme know! more than happy to add literally anything ✨✨
I only started this today, so it's very much a work in progress! All the things without a link are because the posts that match up with them are in the queue. I also need to add the ones i forgot
#there is an updated version of this in my pinned#motogp#tag navigation#it just made me sad seeing all of the gifs from 2012 just chilling on abandoned accounts with no tags#pack bonded to the deactivated posts#also the sociology minor in me LOVES lurking around old forums and blogs#like seeing how people reacted towards things and what was popular 15 years ago??? i'm sat i'm writing notes#also soooo devo that i can't yap on all of these posts bc it will mess up the tagging system :((#edit: it's been 2 days and i've started yapping on the posts but i think??? it should be fine#I mean I can just reblog the funny stuff on normal account and yap but still#repsol-ariel#motogpblr#motogp gifs

woes
i have to depend on my mom currently financially since i can't work because my health just makes it unfeasible at the moment, and has for what feels like nearly a decade now, but recently because of Political Things her pay was hit on a federal level (taking more for taxes) that'll have her making a good chunk less per year which is. such a severe blow to someone who is already struggling to get by and i feel wretched that i have to be an extra burden to that but even though we haven't felt the impact of it yet, i realized how fast i've slipped into Food Scarcity Mode from my formative years when we struggled even harder to make ends meet. like. i keep going into the kitchen, seeing a pre-prepped meal i made or ingredients for a meal and going "well wait if i don't eat it Now i can have food for later...." and then i go into the kitchen later and my brain is like "okay but if you don't eat it Today then that's food for Tomorrow...". i've managed to push myself to eat at least a meal a day but i'm just now realizing that's all i've really been concretely allowing myself because eating anything more stirs up some Ancient Dread that i won't have food when i need it most and i end up too anxious to eat out of turn or properly there's no real scarcity yet though, i think i'm also just minimizing my intake heavily subconsciously to try and require less so my mom can feel the impact of her paycut less. (and to a lesser degree, because of health concerns) i have been trying to have snacks in place of meals at least, or a spoonful of peanut butter for Calories if nothing else but. god it does not feel great to have the old anxiety resurface and i know i need to do better while i still can, especially because not eating is going to make my energy levels even worse i wish so bad i could find some kind of at-home work but then i get staunch reminders of why i don't work at all, in the form of only being conscious for like 4 hours a day for days on end when my health is in the Pits. which has been me almost every day the past couple of weeks which is annoying. (also if why my activity here has mostly been my queue) ((god i wrote this several hours ago but i kept falling asleep on and off so much to where i am posting it like 10 hours later. apt i guess.) anyway. on the plus side if i continue eating just one meal a day i'll lose enough weight to be Doctor Approved and the doctors will take me seriously : ) (statement made with the deepest resentment. i've gotten down to the weight they wanted before, they took me seriously for that time frame, and then dropped everything the moment i was fat again despite the problems having existed when i Wasn't. they really do love to blame that even when it's glaringly Not That but they have no other moves at this point ig)
#rambling venting sobbing crying etc#i really do wish i could find a way to be creative for profit but it's been hard to create#alternatively wish i had a brain for literally any more marketable a skill than Art and Writing#i miss doing the treadmill but i haven't been able to do it in Months now because health#i feel restless blegh

I love your Wintersberg smut fics 😭😭😭 Do you have any more fic drafts/ ideas that are bouncing around in your brain? I'd love to hear... Ethan getting his smart mouth shut up for once and getting fucked stupid is my favorite trope.
Aha, I take it you enjoyed Atypical Side-Effects? Does Medical Log count too? Either way, now I'm very amused that the last ask I got like this one was from someone who was into Ethan bantering his way through sex ‒ I mean, nice to know I'm appealing to multiple markets here! XD
I did post a list of stuff I had in the works back in September, but a lot of those have been checked off and posted since then, so maybe we're due for an update. There's not as much wintersberg on the current list as there was, but we'll see where it goes.
So, fic I have actually made progress on in the last month or two:
The second chapter of Atypical Side-Effects I've been promising everyone is with my beta now, though I cannot tell you there's much smut in this one, and it's currently second in the queue behind...
That post-RE7 Mithan fic where Mia actually gets to come clean that I mentioned in my last WIP post, which has somehow grown into a veritable monster (how tf did this thing break 15k I do not know), and is responsible for stalling progress on most everything else around it while it ate writing time. But it is at last (hopefully) done, and my beta is trying to sort out if it's ready to be unleashed on the world now.
As mentioned in a comment or two, I've also been working on a sequel to my Yuletide Lost Boys fic Pater Unfamilias. It's about halfway done now, I think?
In other misc fandom news, I've still got a couple of semi-cast-off bits of Deus Ex fic that came out of my Spare Parts anthology not-quite-finished (and which I've been promising myself I will totally get back to and finish sometime after that big one above was done). Whether they end up getting added to that story or whether I wind up posting them as their own things remains to be decided.
But back in Resi-land, I may have mentioned in that last post that I had part of a continuation of That One Where Heisenberg Follows Him Home, and that's one I'm still picking away at between other projects. Eventual Ethan/Mia/Heisenberg, just for a little variety, but it's got its teeth in me and definitely wants to go somewhere.
So overall, possibly not quite as much wintersberg as you might have hoped? Though I may have kind of promised someone there was still more of that one Beauty and the Beast wintersberg AU still very much in my plans. And one or two other things from that older list are still in the 'may get back to' pile too.
But if you’re asking about ideas that haven’t necessarily made the draft stage, well, I could always list you a few…
I have forever been toying with the idea of a post-canon Heisenberg-lives idea, where he ends up working for Chris’ outfit as a medical examiner who specialises in cutting apart whatever horrific BOWs have been brought back for study, and also in terrifying any hapless intern who so much as wanders into his lab. I mean, he’d be perfect for the job: plenty experienced in studying bioweapons, utterly un-squeamish about cutting up dead things, and as a bonus, completely qualified to defend himself whenever some ambitious specimen decides to get up again unexpectedly. Speaking of which, mundane AUs where Heisenberg’s some kind of medical examiner should really be more of a thing too (sure, mechanic works too, but is it really gross enough for him?)
Speaking of Heisenberg-lives possibilities, the idea of a universe where he survives (unbeknownst to our heroes) thanks to having bought a ‘life insurance policy’ from the Duke which involves him being resurrected via mould trickery is another one I’ve had forever. Did actually mention it in my last in-progress post (it’s the fairy tale idea titled simply ‘Koschei’), but haven’t really made any progress on it since.
Alternately, in a hypothetical Ethan-lives-Heisenberg-doesn’t AU, the idea of a Heisenberg who continues to haunt Ethan as a mould-ghost ala virtual-Eveline has to rank pretty high on the “has no-one does this? Because someone should totally do this”-scale. No really concrete ideas for this one though, so consider it very much free to a good home.
In more recent ideas, someone pointed out to me a little while ago the possibility that Heisenberg might be able to feel it when Ethan touches anything metal (which sure does cast Ethan’s own arsenal in an interesting light!) Don’t know if I’ll ever actually get around to doing something with this one, but I’ve definitely given this one some thought.
On a related note, look, I still say the idea of Heisenberg deciding to make Ethan appreciate his genius by trapping him in a massive soldat-orgy is one I want someone else to write for me, but I’ve definitely now spent enough time explaining it to certain people that I can’t deny having given it some real thought.
In other free-to-a-good-home ideas, has anyone ever written a decent little Eveline-wins-AU horror story, with Mia and Ethan stuck playing ‘families’ with her, and only conditionally conscious of what’s really going on? Because there just is not enough real horror or fic willing to treat Eveline as the horrific little monster she canonically is around this place.
And just for something completely different, some kind of surreal Mia/Zoe thing set during RE7, with Mia constantly shifting between different levels of awareness of what’s going on, how much she can remember, and what she thinks her relationship to Eveline really is preferably with some at least R-rated Mia/Zoe smut is another of those ideas I’ve been sitting on forever now.
...and I hope that about answers your question, because that's me about out. *g*

Whew, it’s dusty in here. Been a while, huh? A full year since I’ve even posted on this thing. I’ve been busy, sure, but it’s still a shame what has happened to this place. Guess it’s time to clean this place up and get it running again. It won’t be easy, of course, especially with my writing skills as rusty as they are, but I want to try. My new years’ resolution for 2024 is to bring this place back to where it used to be, and here’s my plan for doing so:
1. Completely clear out the inbox and open it back up. Not muscle through the prompts like I had been- I mean actually clear them out. Most of what is in there has been there since about 2018 and chances are a lot of those users have forgotten they even sent anything in. I want to open it back up so that active users can have their wishes granted! Know your prompt is in there and have been waiting all this time? Send it in again and it’ll re-enter the queue, probably closer to the front than it ever was. No worries!
2. Update the FAQ and “How To Wish” guides. I want them to be easier to read and understand. I would also like to add a clear section about common wishes we get around here and how to keep them fresh and interesting. Just so we don’t end up with the old issue of getting a dozen prompts wishing for the same thing again.
3. Promote the discord server again once interest has renewed in the project. It has been largely inactive these days but I know there are users who would love to see it make a return. I may update the server some to make it more functional than it is, but honestly it’s been fine all these years so changes will likely be minimal.
4. Get back to a regular upload schedule. I know we haven’t had one since… well, probably 2018 before I graduated high school. But now that I’m a grown woman with a work schedule and no more classes to attend, I just have to make myself more disciplined and take time out of my weekend to write a little. It may be shaky for the first couple weeks, but I would like to get to the point where I am updating twice a week. No promises, but that is the goal! If I can do more I will, but we will have to see.
Some changes to the above may be made, as in i may keep a couple old prompts to help promote this blog again before new work comes in, but otherwise that’s the goal. Happy new year, everyone! Let’s clean this place up and make it as great as it once was. With all the love in my heart,
Mod Mami 💛

I've been pushing myself a lot lately, not just in art, I'm trying to just... chill out??? Have you ever tried to relax, it's a contradiction :D :D :D
I applied what I learned from the Koumei I made yesterday (the post is a couple back in the queue), I focused on trying to get that painterly style, to be honest it amounted to, just remove all the hard edges, which I think isn't quite what I'm aiming for. It's a bit weird trying to work out what should stay hard edged and what to blend out, the current working theory is if it's being his directly then make it a hard edge. I could probably make it easier on myself if I chose some simpler angles and forms while I'm learning, but that's way less fun for me!
This process would probably be easier with some textured brushes, but I think I'll end up missing some key things if I go grab some now.

Sonic the Comic Liveblog: Issue 85
I am now immensly jealous of some kids from thirty-or-so years ago. I wonder if any of those jackets are still around?
(Also assuming I don't change the queue scheduling, this is being posted on the 23rd, so happy birthday Sonic!
What an outfit. Smoking jacket, bright-ass shoes, and a very impractical looking cane
First sentence this guy has spoken and he's already iconic
Yeah, defininitely sounds like important information to give in advance. Also, this is a very random to bring this up now, I know, but I wonder if anyone has ever made dubs of StC with British accents. I mean, I literally live in the UK and I'm struggling to hear anything other than these character's American voice actors when I read dialouge
When Omni was first introduced he was treated like a god but now a holding cell twarts him lmao
StC hasn't really been subtle at all so far so I'm expecting this guy to turn out to be evil BUT I would love it if this guy was a bit like Mihawk from One Piece where he's just a dramatic goth who's really committed to the aesthetic
Well, turns out he is indeed evil, but perhaps more importantly, stupid.
Got a couple of thoughts so here's them all in quick bullet points:
Really nice art on that first panel.
Interesting way to depict Super's teeth though
It is so funny the entire mansion just fucking exploded without him so much as lifting a finger
Top-tier expression
Jerkyl and Hyde thing going on, nice, cool to see even the side characters are going along with the horror theme
This panel is pretty funny in it's own right in terms of timing with the previous panel but uhh… choosing to make the laser beams or whatever piss yellow also makes it hilarious in an unintended way
I don't really like the way these comic depict Sonic's quills from the back but I do gotta acknowledge and applaud the effort that went into shading them here.
OHH I really really like how Sonic is drawn in this panel. The perfect mix of cute and badass
I think the joke here might be that Frink is a made-up word because I CANNOT find any definition for it other than a few Urban Dictionary entries that I don't think quite fit
Anyway back to Knuckles. Between now and writing last issue's liveblog it occurred to me that this whole story is reference to The Wicker Man (1973), right down to the inn having the same name. Very interesting choice of reference though, I imagine that film is a bit before the time of the kids who would be reading these comics.
I should probably also mention that while I've read a plot summary, I actually haven't watched Wicker Man myself. I don't really like horror movies but maybe I might give that one a shot sometime.
The Archie comics may have microwaved Knuckles in his egg but it looks like StC is gonna roast him in one!! 👈👈😎
Also I do love how in the following panel the villagers response to this is "lmao do you really think Robotnik gives a shit?"
There were two stories with Tails and Shortfuse. I have no comments for either one.
Well, even if I think the recent Tails stories have been boring as hell, I'm glad some kid out there enjoyed them.

Looking Back on 2023
Heyyy folks! Long time no news from me huh.
I'm struggling to think of what to even say about my silence. I've not been doing so bad I'd call myself depressed, but I'm doing a tad worse than just a slump. It's been a rough 6 months, not because of one big thing. Instead, a bunch of medium-sized reasons all piled up on top of each other to leave me extremely drained. I've mostly been working on the two commissions I still had in my queue (thank you to my commissioners for being so patient with me, I'm so sorry to make you wait so long <3). I've done a little personal art other than that but didn't have the leftover focus to keep up with sharing it on social media or writing up any updates about my situation. I've pretty much only been active sharing things in my art discord. I'd like to say I've been doing better in the last month or so, but I hesitate to make any promises at this point! We'll just have to see how things go :)
Artfight
So you were promised a more in depth artfight review but I think I missed the right timeframe for that... instead have this look at 3 years of unfinished artfight thumbnails from my new year's wip clean-out!
Year of Art Summary
All things considered I made a lot of art this year, and I'm really happy with how most of it turned out ☺ I did a bunch of experimenting with more playful techniques and color schemes and I think they suit my style a lot. I want to try and much those limits even more next year to see what kind of fun art I can create! Something with colors specifically really clicked in my brain after that witch drawing I did in April, before then I would spend a long time figuring out the perfect color scheme and doing a bunch of adjustments but ever since that drawing things have really been coming together super quick? I'm not sure what changed but no complaints from me.
Life Drawing Summary
I rarely post my life drawing but I've been keeping at it! Actually, I put together a few pdfs showcasing all my life drawing going back to 2022, you can download them for free in my itch or ko-fi shops! :>
I also put together a yearly art improvement comparison going back to 2015 that I was planning to put here. However, seeing how long this is already getting... I'll make a separate post for it.
Commissions
I've been gearing up to open commissions again after that unintended hiatus. I don't want to open slots until I'm sure I'm back to being able to finish them in a reasonable timeframe, so I've been using that leftover energy I do have to think about revamping some things and new styles to offer. Back in November I ran a survey on what people want to see from me (it's still open if you'd like to fill it out and help me get more stats!)
here's a preview of what's to come based on that & my whims:
- stamp commissions were super well received so they'll be added to my main repertoire
- A combo of me reading too much dun meshi and wanting to offer some kind of comicky commissions led to this idea of comic pages of characters eating together, I have a couple examples in progress, when they're done I'll add this style to my main offerings!
- I'm still not 100% set on sketchpages but I like the idea of them so if this test goes well I'll add them as an option
Onward to 2024!
I already completed my new year's resolution on day 1 of 2024, it was to pet a cat. I've made a second one which is to get a library card whenever my visa is approved and I move back home. It's been something I've been wanting to do for a while but never got around to, hoping this will be the excuse I need to do it.
Art-wise it's not a new goal, but I've been trying to focus on improving my rendering! Though I've also been playing around a lot with screentone... the two don't have to be at odds 🤔
I'm dedicating this year's personal art time to making new references for as many ocs as possible with nude bases so I can easily design new outfits for them whenever I want to without fully making a new ref from scratch.
Otherwise I'm just trying to take it slow, work on things one at a time and see what happens from there.

Update:
Hi everyone. I know I've been back and forth for a while with a lot of updates and such, and I really appreciate the patience as well as the continued love and support for my work. I debated posting another update after taking a bit of a breather, but I felt it would be a good way to get back on track mentally and keep moving forward.
I first want to mention that, yes, I messed up with the queue. I put it on pause but didn't realize that chapters I had scheduled would continue posting anyway (it was admittedly pretty funny though realizing the last chapter was live). I saw all the love for Go! Super Sonic! today and wanted to say thanks! Unleashed is my favorite videogame of all time and it makes me smile whenever I see how my hard work has paid off.
I guess that brings me to my main point. I've decided to continue on with the Moonbeast saga as planned. I know I've been all over the place, and I know it must have been pretty confusing for all of you given how frequently I've jumped from wanting to do one thing to another. To be honest, I was confused myself as well. On one hand, I was so proud of what I accomplished with my writing, but on the other hand, I felt like what I made wasn't good enough, like I wasn't good enough. I loved what I wrote but made myself sick with worry that others wouldn't. Much like my character, I suffer from severe anxiety, especially when putting myself out there on a deeper level.
I do have good news though. Thankfully, I found an awesome therapist recently who has helped me make strides. As per my last post, I wanted to take a break (more on that in a bit) mostly because I was still trying to figure out the underlying issue before making a decision on how to best move forward. I realized after a few sessions that my issue wasn't that my work was bad or that I was a bad artist, but that I was afraid to go after what I wanted and stand by it. That isn't to say I can never improve (maintaining self-awareness and striving to grow are incredibly admirable traits), but my mindset was well into perfectionism and that drove me to become obsessed with rereading my work day after day and trying to "fix it" when there was really no need to. I was holding myself back from creating new art all because I felt that my old art wasn't "good enough". I've struggled with this pretty badly in other areas of my life as well, but I'm working hard now to address and work through it with help from a good support system. ♡
Having realized that, I want to present the Moonbeast saga as I wrote it, even if I'm still working through that nervousness. That doesn't mean I will never revisit and add art to it. Far from it. But the story itself, after all the hard work, sweat, and tears poured into it, deserves to be told. I should share it and be proud of what I accomplished. I'm proud of it when I'm by myself so why shouldn't I be when sharing it with others? I want to push back and overcome that anxiety, so I'm going to keep it as it is.
With that being said, I do want to make clear for anyone reading that this saga is dark. If Metarex and Seven Rings were too intense for you, then the Moonbeast saga will be too. Even though there will be lighthearted moments, anything present in those sagas are present here from beginning to end. Chapters come with content warnings, but I wanted to make that clear as a general note.
Lastly, I want to go over my plans for the Ark Chronicles. I have all but two chapters completed at this point; however, those chapters were already written and ready when I announced my break and needing to revisit how I want to go about storytelling. The plan right now is to post whatever is complete on Thursday for the Sonic 3 premier and see if I feel up to finishing the rest by then. I'm debating between a couple ideas and want to make sure I take my time to best represent such an incredible piece of media.
Afterwards, I plan to take my hiatus and work out some ideas in a more artistic way while Moonbeast continues to post weekly. I also have multiple courses next semester and will be graduating soon, so my time for art will be very limited. I just want to take it one day at a time and get back to a place of having fun rather than stressing myself out. However that looks will piece itself together as I go along and I'm excited to take that journey. : )
That's all from me. Happy holidays and Sonic premier everyone!

Hi I'm @devsgames and I run this blog.
This blog features footy of games made for the PC98 system. Some posts will be NSFW, and I'll tag them accordingly. I try to go back and play stuff from time to time to fill out the queue. The queue is shuffled, so a mix of stuff will come up from all over the place.
I know DNIs don't really work, but I feel obligated to point out that if you are a racist, sexist, queerphobic, a TERF, a bigot, or a fan of cops/the military then this blog isn't a welcome space for you.
FAQ under the break
Why did you start this blog?
I used to play a small selection of MD-DOS games as a kid and naturally have a deep nostalgia for games of that era, so I wanted to try out some games on the PC-98. Recently I learned how to patch fan-made English translations into them and I started to dig into them. I really fell in love and wanted to share that appreciation with others.
But there's already a billion PC-98 blogs out there!
I'm a big fan of bots like PC-98 bots too! However, I also love the music, SFX and animations in PC-98 titles and I find that a lot of archival stuff tends to skip over these elements entirely in favour of pretty stills. I wanted to include more music and SFX!
What is a PC-98?
I'm not a history expert so here's what Wikipedia says:
The PC-9800 series (commonly shortened to PC-98 is a lineup) of Japanese 16-bit and 32-bit personal computers manufactured by NEC from 1982 to 2000.
The PC-98 had many game titles designed for it, many of which made creative use of the system's limitations (as it was originally designed as a business machine) to great commercial success. Despite having hardware specifications inferior to the FM Towns and the X68000, the massive install base and steady flow of game titles (in particular "doujin" style dating sims and RPGs, kept it as the favored platform for PC game developers in Japan until the rise of the DOS/V clones.
There's already a billion accounts everywhere that post PC-98 stuff! Why start another one?!
I've followed accounts such as PC-98 Bot on other platforms and always thought the art in it was gorgeous, and I used to listen to PC-98 soundtracks when I stream, however I realized that I had never seen the two things combined in many places on social media. The music in these games are so good and often compliments the art so well that I felt the urge to showcase them together, because while the focus is often on the visuals. Honestly I think the music is even better than the visuals half the time.
I also really enjoy the design of some of the games, as a game developer myself there's something that's so remarkably simple and 'indie spirit' about them.
Why don't you play [x game]?
I can only play titles in English because I don't speak Japanese, and playing a game while not understanding what is going on sounds like a good way to get confused, frustrated and bored. This is also why I won't get every scene from every game - I'm doing this for fun not for archival!
That being said if you have recommendations and can link me to a English patch for it I'll happily give it a spin. :)
How do you emulate PC-98 games in English?
There was a couple guides I followed to learn the process (it's a little more complicated than retro console because you're emulating a whole 90's PC). I recommend the excellent tutorial by Gang Fight here on emulating the games, as well as this resource for finding English community patches. As with anything else, once you know how it do it it's very straightforward.

i got a few things figured out with the time i had so im not really disappointed in my break. honestly i kinda liked it. but i do eventually plan on fully coming back . i guess?
for one, i need to start treating blogging as more of a hobby again rather than get overwhelmed with it. on that note i should probably fandom-tag things less (that dice-a-roo post hitting over 300 notes literally sent me to tears). might fandom tag some art because im not a major artist on the platform whatsoever, but otherwise im just gonna do wtf ive been doing.
well that made no sense.
ill still interact with fandom and reblog posts because neopets still has a huge place in my heart, but yeah i only think people who follow me deserve to see my horrendous content.
with this, im also going to unprivate some posts, but not all of them at once...
of course, while i was on break, i started to finally work on a project ive had in my head for about a few weeks: NeoNeoNeo
i dont think ive ever mentioned it on main before but it's a godot rpg project. yes, scripting is something im learning solely for this.
my main focus currently is making sure character sprites work, which i got lisha set up. her sprite sheet needs some work (cough cough, the antennae) but otherwise she functions in game as intended; walks around and faces all correct directions.
once i get lisha settled i want to work on morris, then boris, and lastly kayla.
ill also leave you with some concept art that i wont touch upon now.
outside of my little progress on NeoNeoNeo, i tried out a new art style
And of course made more Very Interesting mspaint canvases. because i feel mean im not going to explain any of this right now...
except for the purple quiggle character, who's named Kasey (wow i wonder why that name is familiar.)
for context; i decided morris has a whopping 15 siblings, with kasey being one of them. hes also a stereotypical bully character who fucks with his younger brother at school and home. and hes a baseball player, if it werent obvious.
on the downside of my break, ive had to endure my family a lot more. i went out of my room yesterday in the midst of my mom and her boyfriend arguing only to get slammed against the wall (im PRETTY SURE on accident,) but it just heated the argument and my chest has been pretty bruised since. it hurts but ive been through worse. its not like i can go to a doctor anyways because of my severe lack of insurance.
my dreams have also been extremely vivid lately. but i got to talk to a friend about the shift stuff (you'll see the post when i unprivate it) and it really did make me feel a lot better about where i am and my perceptive layer...
i really do feel lost in this world sometimes but im glad i kept contact with my friends on break, otherwise i would've probably cut my thighs more than i did (i tried cutting the letter M but its a lot harder than I thought.)
i guess as a summary;
im semi-back, i have projects and new media to possibly show off, i plan on queueing art and project posts more just so i dont seem utterly dead when im not online for a couple days...
and hopefully i can be a better person for myself and my followers.

random thoughts
Days later, I’m still thinking about Amy Chua’s book, Tiger Mother, because I can see some of her excessive Te in myself at times—not in how I deal with other people, but in how I deal with myself. What her youngest daughter said to her really stuck me, that her mother had made her hate learning the violin, by forcing her to do too much of it. It makes me wonder if my self-discipline in terms of my hobbies is making it less enjoyable to me than it could be, simply because I am trying too hard to improve in those areas.
A friend once told me, “You don’t do hobbies, you go after them as if they are a paid job.” It’s true, I am an “improving learner/hobbist.” I have to be the best at it. I tell myself, “Even if nobody ever reads this book, it’s still going to be the best writing I have ever done.” And then I mercilessly pour over it to make sure that happens. My father calls it being a creative perfectionist. And I am, but it's also draining. I won't let anyone else shape it for me. I have to do it all myself.
It may be no better or worse than some other writer, but I have given up a lot of things to just focus on writing and getting good at it. But it has narrowed my focus so much, I don’t see the point in doing anything else. I don’t experiment with hobbies, I don’t dabble in my free time. Whatever I decide to do, I’m aware is going to take over a huge chunk of my focus and my life, in my need to be terrific at it.
Some of that has seeped over into Funky. I have to be the best typist out there. I have to get things right. So I over-focus and over-think and make sure the queue is filled even on days when I don't want to write another word about extroverted sensing. I have run myself a bit ragged to keep it going the last couple of years, while struggling with pandemic-related fatigue and depression. I still show up and do the work, even when I don't feel like it or possess the energy for it.
Part of me is proud of this intense "work ethic" in my private time, but the other part of me knows it's also not good for me mentally. I don’t know whether this is the fault of being a "reliable" sp/so who builds things and works on them for decades (Funky is now 8 years old), or if this is an extension of my super-ego 6, or if I am bearing down too hard on my tert-Te, or if I am neglecting my 7 wing, but at times it feels like I’ve forgotten how to just have fun. But unless I am being productive or making progress, I feel like I am wasting my time.
This post doesn't really achieve anything other than to put it out there, in case anyone else feels the same. And since I need to learn more balance and drive myself less, I will be reducing the number of characters I post for a while. One a day instead of two will give me a little more room to breathe. I don't know that I can ever achieve balance with such a Te need to be "driven," but I will try.

In the Teen Wolf fandom, it seems like peeps only love the big-names, the ones who regularly return to post content versus people who joined in the last few years.
As someone who has been here a while, what's your take on this? Should new people stop trying? Because that's what I'm feeling.
Hey friend!
I just wanna say, before I really get to my answer, I'm kind of touched that you see me having been around for a while!! I'm definitely not what I'd consider a big-name and I know my blog is mostly just my little corner full of stuff I curate with my own creations or reblogs of other people's but you see me 😊 I'm also for sure not tapped into the fandom itself like some folks I follow. I just doot my snoot in my little archive of teen wolf shenanigans and try to maintain friendships with anyone who wants to interact with me (via asks, messages, or tags, good golly I wanna hug anyone who interacts in tags lol and I for sure recognize when ppl come back).
I typed a way longer response that you may not have wanted, all to just say I would hate to see new people stop trying!! I adore that teen wolf is still pulling people despite it being off air and potentially not getting more movies (whether or not that's what most people want). I think fandoms need fresh air continually too. No two people will experience the show or content 100% the same way and have every single response be the same. Just with the two cakes mindset of creation, there are multiple cakes for how we all digest the show and they're all delicious. I carved out my own little corner here because I wanted organization for myself, and I create largely for myself. Any interaction I get, I fucking adore, I cannot impress that enough lol. I just never really expect it bc I know I do my own thing here with stuff like Multiamory May moodboards. Rarepairs and polyamory and trans headcanons just aren't everyone's cup of tea and I stopped trying to be recognized for what I "target" when I know my quality isn't 100% and I'm just vibing to my own weirdness instead of being super put together about it. I've definitely flickered in and out of the fandom when it comes to engagement too - like how last year (or year before? idk, time is confusing) I was running regular events but currently I just don't have the energy/passion in the same way.
If you really want to be seen more, esp if you make your own posts/content, utilize tags, even if you're hella lazy with it like me. I try to always use #twedit no matter what, in addition to #twfemslash and #twrarepair when applicable. Those go on the radar of people who fill the queues of some "big" blogs that do a bunch of reblogging just to have continual content out there. I also feel like I got a foot in via a couple of my discord servers, mainly Teen Wolf Legacy, and making a couple too (one for Scott shipping, one for teen wolf femslash; others i know of included pecific Derek-positive ones, a Stiles shipping one). That absolutely increased my reach, because I could share my stuff with people who specifically wanted to get pinged for, say Allison/Stiles content as an example. Idk that my following blew up or anything, I'm still a relatively small teen wolf blog. But it did make it easier to grow into my niche here. It also made me realize how big the fandom is. Some might only watch for or engage with a particular ship or character, while others like me do so for pretty much anyone.
This was still lengthy, I'm sorry. You caught me after work when my brain is like solely focused on decompression via fixation and tumblr is often a source for that. Please don't be discouraged from trying, and if you feel comfortable coming directly to me I could possibly point you in the direction of some other teen wolf blogs with similar interests! Big-names are hella daunting and it still blows my mind some of the ones I always sort of looked up to also just have some nerd behind them that I can talk to (even if I feel like im annoying them lmao). Feel free to talk with me more either on or off anon too, I'm pretty much always here to some extent. I love new people so fucking much, I'm just not engaged enough to always see you 💜💜💜💜
#seriously this was so sweet to receive?? I'm nobody over here i swear#answered#anonymous#anon#idk if I'm becoming a fandom old but i do recognize how hard it is to just get into the groove#i came in during s4? pretty sure. and it was already a huge place here. now it's even bigger and there's new canon (technically)#there is always room for everyone i promise

𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐈 𝐑𝐔𝐍 𝐌𝐘 𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐆𝐒.
ꜱᴘᴇᴇᴅ. as of right now, my blog runs (almost) fully on a queue, which is a decision i made earlier in the semester since i want to focus more of my time on school work, practicing, graduate school applications, and taking care of my mental and physical health, which can often involve extended breaks from the rpc. with that said, i do try and queue up at least one response every time i find myself on here, which is usually a tiny bit at the middle of the day and mostly in the late afternoon and evenings (when i’m not dicking around elsewhere or watching shows). weekends and US holidays/school breaks are a different story, where i’m around more often but still trying to focus on myself.
ʀᴇᴘʟɪᴇꜱ. i tend to draft all of the thread replies that i owe and queue up at least one response for whenever i’m online and feel like completing something from my drafts, as i mentioned in the last section. i also tend to queue these responses in the order that i receive them, but it depends on how much i’m feeling a specific thread and if i’m mains with the other or not. if it’s been around a couple weeks since you replied to a thread we’re doing, please feel free to send me a gentle poke, and it would be helpful to provide a link to the thread since sometimes things tend to get lost in my drafts. i don’t use banners or any fancy graphics in my responses, just still icons.
ꜱᴛᴀʀᴛᴇʀꜱ. i don’t post a ton of these, but when i do, they’re usually inspired by songs (as per usual). not very many of them tend to get a lot of notes, sometimes none at all, so if it’s been a while where i’ve had a starter and i want to write whatever that one is about, i’ll likely just reblog it again instead of making a new one. my opens are generally always open, and any of my mutuals are always welcome to respond!! c: i use banners for starter calls.
ᴀꜱᴋꜱ. like thread responses, in-character responses to things in the inbox tend to be queued, and i also like to publish them in the order i get them, unless if it’s some prompt or starter that i’m really excited about. anon asks are currently closed at the moment due to both anxiety from a very brief harassment incident that occurred over the summer and because i get anxious about having anonymous messages, particularly with the astounding degree of hatred towards marginalized folks like trans people at the moment, of which i am. i’m also never really in the mood to see people arguing with me in my inbox about my character and my writing habits, which have happened on other blogs before. so i decided that it’s best to not have that option at all. that topic aside, if it’s been a while since you’ve sent in an ask, please feel free to give a gentle poke, and if it’s from a meme, it would be helpful to specify that as well. i use banners, dividers, and still icons in my ask posts, which i tend to just copy and paste from the ask itself into a new text post (which you all probably already know).
ᴏᴏᴄ ꜱᴛᴜꜰꜰ. sometimes i often take more time to answer ooc stuff and chat with you guys than i do for threads or asks & other in character stuff i owe you guys, because i love to talk to y’all and get to know y’all as people since i think it makes us better writing partners. i also love getting asks for ooc stuff, like from memes. for ooc posts i use banners.
ᴍᴇꜱꜱᴀɢɪɴɢ & ᴅɪꜱᴄᴏʀᴅ. mutuals are always welcome to dm me here on tumblr to ask questions. most ooc interactions i prefer to have on discord, where you can find me at dumb bitch energy#7000. i personally find the platform a lot more accessible and easier to use and has statistically been less fucky with me than tumblr messaging. for things like further plotting and discussion, i strongly prefer discord, but if you don’t have a discord, then tumblr messenger works just fine.
ʜɪᴀᴛᴜꜱ. whenever i take a hiatus, i will make both a public post and mark my blog as such in the current pinned post. the only roleplay blogs of mine that are not currently on hiatus are this one (even though i’m admittedly on a semi-hiatus here), @titxxn, & @cybermarked. speaking of this blog being on a semi-hiatus at the moment, responses are going to come a lot slower than the responses on other blogs, and my activity will be a lot spottier. when i’m on any kind of hiatus, all rules regarding sending me messages about asks and replies that i owe you are rescinded. i’ve done all i believe is necessary to notify you regarding my absence, and i expect that you respect my decision and my space and not continuously hound me.
ᴏᴛʜᴇʀ ʀᴘ ʙʟᴏɢꜱ. all of my other rp blogs can be found here.
#( i only decided today that i was gonna post about hiatus )#( but it's in my pinned post so i guess this is your announcement if you weren't already aware c: )#noah rambles. >>> 𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐑
