GETTING TO KNOW YOU.

respond to the following prompts out of character. then, tag others that you'd like to get to know a little bit better!

ROLEPLAYER NAME: Adriel

ROLEPLAYER PRONOUNS: He/Them

MUSE NAME: I have too many to list off, everyone's on my Carrd c':

PREFERRED COMMUNICATION: Tumblr works just fine for me ♡ I tend to feel overwhelmed when I have a bajillion Discord notifications so I honestly fall off from it after a while before I gather the spoons enough to go back and respond to people proper. On tumblr, at least it feels like I'm sitting down at the office and getting ready to work on stuff, and therefore, the ton of messages just feels natural to have waiting for me here pfft~

EXPERIENCE: I've been writing on tumblr since 2014! Prior to that, I was roleplaying on Facebook since... 2011 ?? And prior to that, it was MSN, text message, and notebook roleplays between my friends and I throughout high school!

PREFERRED ROLEPLAY TYPE: I enjoy the slice of life sorta roleplays. The things we don't usually get to see in a character's life because we're too busy following the main plot. Of course, I also do ADORE me a good mystery/deep plot to follow! Honestly, just give me a balance of interactions for our characters, and I'll be heaven ♡

PET PEEVES & DEALBREAKERS:

When people don't read my muse's info and push on to assume things via their own interpretations or strictly canon interpretations. I had someone praise how much they adored my Hero of Time characterization and wanted to write with me so badly-- really hyped me up, y'know? So I happily obliged because I also really liked their take on their character after I read up on their stuff, and I was incredibly flattered by how much they liked my muse! They immediately showed me how they read not a single thing about my muse through the first response c': I soft blocked real quick and moved on. Another one had even assumed my muse was a child because my blog's title was "Child of Farore", despite his bio clearly reading 20 years of age LOL

People who constantly post OOC about how "no one likes them" or "no one wants to write with them". Look... I get it... it can feel isolating sometimes... but perhaps the reason people are avoiding you is because you keep bringing the mood down? Listen, I'm not specifically talking about the feeling of feeling down and alone every now and then. I'm talking about the specific types of people who weaponize this feeling. Because they're the types that, even when you shower them with activity and interactions, they still will post these things the moment you start lagging behind on replies. Or! If you show interest in another blog and have a lull in activity with them. They'll immediately post about how people are abandoning them. It's so... no thank you. It's okay to post here and there about a lack of activity, but don't blame other people or demonizing them for it. Interactions go both ways, and honestly, if it's such a trend that people tend to avoid you? Maybe the problem... is you? Speaking of insane activity standards, that brings me to my last one:

People who hold your activity hostage as a measure of your worth as a roleplayer. Even if they don't actively say it, these are the people who immediately unfollow you the moment you're inactive for like... a week? A month at most, and they'll constantly message you with "I replied btw" or "Hey how have you been? Did you see my reply?" and my favorite "-insert link to their reply here- In case you didn't see it" and then nothing else. Not a "Hope you're doing okay!" or "Hope you're having a nice day!". It's a huge turn off and absolutely decimates my will to respond. We're here to have fun, not to feel like it's a 9-5 job. I just wanna be silly with my characters and shove them at others to see what'll happen, not feel anxious and scared over whether or not someone is happy with my response speed and activity.

PLOTS OR MEMES: I adore coming up with a general plot to work around! Memes are still fun and handy to have when you don't know what sort of plot would work, or when you don't have an idea at the moment. But still... ask any of my writing partners, the moment the question of plots come up, I am sometimes spitting out entire chronicles complete with plot twists, climax points, and bumps along the road. It's just super fun c':

LONG REPLIES OR SHORT REPLIES: This is very much dependent on my motivation and energy... sometimes I can hit you with 10+ paragraphs... and sometimes I can barely type 2 sentences :'D I would prefer to do long replies, but sometimes... sometimes... I just wanna throw a few words out and call it a job well done LOL

BEST TIME TO WRITE: The only time I really have to write, is late at night after work, and by then? My brain is so tired and I am so drained that I struggle to do much of anything that requires thinking. I think I used to be super active sometime around midday? Back in the day, at least. Now, I'm still searching for that peak hour when my brain wants to pour out words. Mornings seem appealing... I miss early mornings c':

ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSES: There are aspects of me in every single one of my muses, but we're not exactly a 1:1 to each other, y'know? There are things some muses do that make me want to punch a wall LOL and others that I would only dream to be capable of doing so easily. So... yes and no...? c':

Just putting this here for anyone new to this blog, I try not to ignore partners or such...but sometimes my brain latches on to specific things it wants to answer or such, that and I can be a bit slow to respond to things. This doesn't mean however I do not wish to write with you...I just am like a snail in molasses caught in a tar pit type slow. You are always and I mean always welcome to send in asks or respond to open post or even just tag me in shit. I love that. I wanna write with you all so much. Love you guys ;3

gigi zumbado looks so good on her press tour for heart eyes !!! my muse for my gigi oc is high asf (it always has been)

[thedetectiveofinaba]

One of the most ironic things to date is that all muse activity/ideas I have rn is for two of my Pkmn side muses and a possible AU ideas for Naoto (regarding Ruina and maybe Staffer Case/AA. I am once again drawn to more niche games nobody knows anything about :'D)

if I end up doing the Staffer Case thing it's gonna be a case of "so I yeeted Naoto to the firm and she has a fucking power what has a clear limit which doesn't mean Note has NO function there" & it's better than obvious inserted AUs.

18. Shipping

Topic Meme

Shipping is an interesting one!

So firstly, I personally think people can ship whatever they want, have fun with it, and do it however works for them. Writing is for fun as a hobby and the muses aren't real, and I'm not here to police or judge how people have fun or write their things! Someone having a self indulgent ship or whatever has no bearing on me, unless I'm personally involved. So even if it makes no sense--- as long as both writing partners are into it and having a good time, then have fun!

Butttttt, I personally have had experiences that make me averse to jumping into any relationships with my muses off the bat. I tend to work by chemistry, if you're interested in one of my muses and a connection to them. I don't mind how fast or slow a ship happens, so long as it's-- kind of at the characters' discretion and feels natural.

Specifically, I'm fine with us saying the muses might know each other in some manner! I don't mind 'x is y's mailman' or 'x buys food from y's food truck during work' or 'x and y worked a case together involving z' or something, where they're aware of each other but might only be acquaintances, to give them an 'in' to talk more. But 'close friends' type relationships are a no go unless we discuss it enough to make it work. Because like. if we don't talk, it puts it in a weird spot. If x is supposed to be my muse's BFF, but he doesn't even know anything about him, then it just doesn't really make sense.

I'm especially stringent on characters jumping to romantic shippy stuff, especially since there's a level of commitment between muses. Sometimes the personality blurbs on an about (mine included) do not cut it for understanding how a character operates. It doesn't matter how detailed you get; the person reading it will be reading it through their own personal lens of interpretation, which might not be accurate to what you meant, or a key piece of info might not be present. The nuances of actual writing will bring out the kind of relationship you'll end up with far better, and let it develop as it will, based on chemistry and how the characters interface in each interaction.

Having seen a friend a decade ago jump to a romantic ship with someone after little written interaction, i learned to be cautious. The other person's muse started acting insecure and angry and guilt-tripped their muse; my friend's muse fixed distortions in timelines, so they'd leave for stints for their job. they had showcased this and talked about it prior to the ship, and it was something the muse had no choice in. The other muse treated any of these trips as being abandoned and would be hurt and angry when they returned. it was a lot of stress for my friend, because they didn't know what they were getting into and had expected romantic fluffy cute things, not what they got. Another had a similar experience in writing ship stuff and then the personality of the other character came out in rp things, and they quickly realized that their muses weren't compatible. But in both cases it was difficult for them to leave since they didn't want to hurt mun feelings. And in one case, when they did say something, there was a blow up that resulted in a lot of hurt feelings. So I just kinda took away from it to be cautious and not skip the bit where you figure out who a muse is.

Plus, I think it's way more fun to build the relationship out, because then you have all these little moments that like--- your characters can allude to. Inside jokes and reminders of things said or done. And that really adds life and realism to the connection they might have! And honestly that kind of relationship history is by far my favorite! I'm a sucker for seeing how a muse's feelings change and grow and shift over time. That's good stuff!
