#we're finally writing muses the same age :^)

[lovelyladyabsinthewrites]

can you please write about Platonic Yandere Visenya x female child reader? I love your work<3

Warnings: mentions of death, canonical death, fluff, maternal!Rhaenys, protective!Rhaenys, takes place before Maegor is conceived, reader is the first rider of dreamfyre,

Words: 1148

Summary: After the death of her sister Rhaenys, Visenya is forced the task of raising her daughter (y/n) while Aegon takes to rearing his male heir Aenys.

What was she to do with a daughter?

Visenya was never one for children. That was the main reason as to why it was Rhaenys who became round with child first and not she. Alas, Rhaenys was no longer in the realm of the living, leaving her twins behind: the sickly older Aenys and then you, sunny and robust.

Difficult enough to be in a state of deep grief, now Visenya was tasked the duty of raising the three year old princess. Being the heir to the realm, Aegon immediately swooped in to care for Aenys. Alas, neither Aegon or Rhaenys knew what to do with you.

With scrutinizing purple eyes, Visenya holds the you at arm's length. Her iciness never appeared to bother you too much. Simply smiling with your plump cheeks turning the pinkest of hues. Visenya melts a bit, remembering her younger sister at the same age. You looked so much like the late queen that it almost hurt Visenya to gaze upon you.

"Guess we're stuck with each other." Visenya quietly muses before setting you back down on the ground.

You weren't having any of it. Using all the strength your pudgy legs could muster, you get to your feet and toddle after her when Visenya moved away.

One perfect brow quirks up. "What?"

"Vi!" You screech and reach out to grab at the hem of her skirt.

Her nanny gasps, darting to collect you in her arms. "I-I'm sorry, your grace! She's a very tenacious child."

You're fighting against the strong hold she has on you. Cheeks puffing out and limbs flailing for freedom.

It makes Visenya smile.

"Yes, she's definitely a Targaryen. More so than her brother."

"Vi! Vi!" Now, your face had swirled into an ugly, red, screaming mess. Regardless of the attempts your nanny made to soothe you, you were inconsolable. Two other maids spring into action to cheer up the shrieking. The more you fought, the funnier Visenya thought it was.

Finally just to get you to shut up, Visenya reaches out for you and places you at her hip. You happily clung to your aunt, the tears drying up instantly. "Leave us. You're all useless."

They readily flee at her command, not wanting to wait around any longer.

Visenya rolls her eyes. "Alright, you can come with me. You must be quiet though. And no more of that ugly crying."

"Yes!" You giggle, forgetting the tantrum you'd just thrown.

The two of you were stuck with one another.

Very well.

Visenya would raise you as her own.

And much to everyone's horror and surprise, Visenya becomes a doting, protective, vicious mother.

"There's my princess!" Aegon coos. Visenya had been overlooking the design of the dragonpit, ordering the workers as she saw fit while you carried around a small silver-blue dragon you'd lovingly named Dreamfyre.

At the sound of her 'husband', Visenya pivots on her heel to get between you and Aegon. Beside the king was the Crown Prince Aenys with his own small dragon Quicksilver.

Visenya mentally compares the twins of her sister Rhaenys. At four years old, you prove to have quite the personality. You were notorious for running away and hiding from your maids. Once Dreamfyre was hatched, the small she-dragon became your partner in crime. The hatchling could always be found draped around your neck.

Aenys, after Quicksilver's hatching, gained a stronger constitution than he'd had the majority of his life, but he was still behind you. To Visenya, you'd make the better ruler.

"What's this about news about Dorne that I've heard from our cousin, Orys?" Visenya positions you behind her, ever selfish. You get around her and wave at your twin brother, who smiles back at you and returns the gesture.

Sighing, Aegon straightens to his full stature to wearily glare at his sister. "Must we discuss this in front of the prince and princess?"

"Unfortunately we do since you haven't visited us for a while." She folds her arms in front of her like a shield. "And your men don't think I should be privy to this delicate information."

"I'll talk to them." huffs out Aegon. "I wanted to see my daughter and Aenys misses his sister. It's not like you've made an effort to come to see us either."

Visenya couldn't really argue with that despite her tongue begging to lash out at her brother. Gently, her hand smoothes down your silver-blonde hair.

You're all too happy to show Dreamfyre off to your father and brother, completely ignoring the agitation in your aunt's demeanor. When you were first put into her charge, Visenya would never have guessed how much she would grow to care for you. In you was the last living visage of her sister Rhaenys.

Aegon kneels to speak to you at eye level and examines the beautiful dragon curled upon your shoulders. You were the exact copy of your mother, pretty with gentle features. But you had Visenya's fiery spirit, much to Aegon's chagrin. Your looks as you grew would definitely gain you a legion of suitors, yet with how you already had an attitude, it was clear that only the bravest suitor would be able to win your hand and temper your fire.

When Aegon reaches out to caress your hair, Visenya immediately snatches his hand. "That's enough. If you haven't noticed, the princess and I are quite busy."

There were so many words Aegon could sling at his sister. So many that he wanted to unleash if only to hurt her and remind Visenya that she wasn't even your real mother. That he could take you away from her at any minute.

Instead, he uses his front teeth to bite down on his tongue and hold himself silent because if he were really being honest, he'd have to acknowledge how well she was raising you. You seemed happy and well-rounded. Smart and so sure of yourself even at only 4 years old.

"Very well." Aegon yields to his sister. "But don't forget, we still have our arrangement later tonight."

"Yes. I won't forget." Visenya tosses him a dismissive wave of her hand. Now that no Rhaenys existed, someone else had to tend to Aegon's needs. Being his last remaining wife, the duty fell on Visenya.

Watching Aegon and your brother Aenys retreat back to the Red Keep, you tug on your aunt's skirt. "Why don't you like when papa tries to pat my head?"

Visenya releases a sharp exhale from her nostrils. "He lost all right to be your papa when he chose Aenys over you." If Visenya had it her way, you would be installed as Queen of the Seven Kingdoms. She would forge Westeros into a great empire for you to rule over. The Targaryen legacy would be handed down to you. "Regardless of whatever he may think, you're my daughter now. My heir."

It's already June! And that means we're halfway through 2025. Enjoy these next two months of relative peace before our 6th anniversary event in August.

Saying Farewell to Mod Key

At the end of 2020, Mod Rai stepped down and Mod Key came on to take her place. She's been a dutiful member of the mod team, beloved by the community ever since, but after nearly five solid years, it's finally time to say goodbye. But don't worry, Key will remain within the community as a regular member.

Now Introducing… Mod Cecil and Mod Neku!

TOA's mod team is expanding! After much deliberation, the mod team decided that with TOA's steady growth over the years, we need more hands to handle all the events and backend responsibilities that come with managing a group of this size. Cecil and Neku have both become familiar faces within the community, and they agreed to step up and fill Key’s spot. They have had a couple weeks of onboarding already, and have been helping out with the Ethereal Ball, so we believe that they will be great additions to the team. Please give them a hearty congratulations, and look forward to what we have in store for you in August!

Housekeeping

Current Month in TOA: Guardian Moon (January)

We hope you enjoyed the Ethereal Ball! A quick reminder: as stated in the closing details, please keep your ball claims separate from your regular claims. Note: claims are separated by charm this year, so please make sure you send your claims in during the appropriate timeframe.

New mission board! This set of missions will feature our Unaffiliated Faculty, Knights of Seiros, and Ashen Wolves representatives. [Check it out here!]

Please don’t forget to leave feedback on our feedback poll for this month! In particular, we would like to know what you thought of the Ethereal Ball, whether it’s your first time participating or you’ve had other years to compare it to. Did you participate in the masquerade? Of course, as always, if there’s something else on your mind, please let us know.

Important Reminders

NSFW artwork: While the mod team allows muns to age up underage characters for the sake of writing them in TOA, we do not allow the sharing of underage characters in NSFW fanart. The mod team's official definition of "underage" is "any character who is explicitly stated in game, found in the game's data, or inferred from canon content to be younger than 18 years old." Just because you have chosen to age up your character does not mean the artist drawing NSFW of underage characters created their art with the same intent.

NSFW channel ground rules: We have added a post to the NSFW channel to establish rules of behavior. Breaking these could result in removal from the channel, or even a strike.

AI and plagiarism rule: We have expanded our rules with the following: "Do not plagiarize another author's published work. This includes copying copyrighted material without citing a source, as well as the use of generative AI to write applications and replies. If an application, reply, or some other part of your writing is found to be plagiarized, you will receive a strike. Repeat offenders will be banned from the Officers Academy."

New Muse Incentive

This didn't go quite as planned for the month of May. The mod team thought that our members would be more likely to pick up new muses this month since the ball has historically been the best event to get a feel for a character, but what we saw instead was less of an emphasis on new muses meeting new people, and more on writing with canon or pre-existing connections.

But June and July are going to be relatively uneventful, so we're going to try this again! We will offer 2 skill points to anyone who picks up one of the selected muses before the end of June. How do you claim these skill points? Simply write the muse for a whole calendar month and those 2 skill points are as good as yours.

Keep in mind that your current activity will still be taken into account and will determine whether or not the mod team will allow you to pick up a new muse. If you drop a muse to pick up one of these incentive muses, you will have a 3 month cooldown before you can drop a muse to pick up another incentive muse (this cooldown does not apply to swapping for non-incentive muses). If this winds up being successful, the mod team may continue to choose incentive muses for future months as well.

Incentive muses for June: 

Hinoka (most wanted on the Wanted List)

Zephia (randomly selected from the Wanted List)

Hicks (currently not on the Wanted List and has never been written in TOA)

This list will be kept at the top of our Wanted List for the month of June, and if we see a reason to continue the new muse incentive, filling out our feedback form can influence who winds up selected each month.

- The House Leaders

[valiantthearts]

I don't have any sort of new years traditions or goals. I don't actually really celebrate new years. I think the closest thing to celebrating new years is more the Lunar New Years (chinese new years) with the concept of the spring festival. More about rebirth of winter to spring, the idea of lighting up, cleaning and starting fresh. New Years in the US seems more on getting drunk and all. Not that that is what new years is to everyone, but the way I was raised, it was heavy fireworks, drinking, and passing out the night of. I just didn't' care for it.

But one thing I do follow, is the love of friends and family and reuniting with those who really bring life into your life. So, I figured I'll just kind of bring to light for some of those because it really is something that matters to me. Friendship, connection, and never taking for granted what we have.

@sharransepulchre / @infernalapparatus - I know I've said this time and time again, but you is probably one of the closest people I'm connected to. thanks to monkey, we were able to connect and it just kind of was like hitting the mark running. And without you, I wouldn't be able to have a new beginning! I'm finally getting to figure out who I am, what I want in life, and you really made this happen. Your friendship is genuinely one of the most amazing friendship I could every have and I am so, so thankful for it. You reminded me who I can be and what kind of light I can have in my life again. I can never express how much I love you and how much I value what we have so much <3 I hope you know I'm always here for you to, no matter what <3

@shimmerbeasts - Man, we've been through hell and back one too many times and yet we are still going strong. You're like a sister to me and I can't believe how easy we connect and understand each other. Through thick and thin we are goign through it all. Hell, like Jinx said "I'm always with you. Even when we're worlds apart." We really are worlds apart, with such a time difference and different countries, but I know you got my back no matter what. So, no matter how far apart we are, I always am just a message away for you. Nothing is going to pull us apart.

@piltover-sharpshooter - I still remember the first day you followed me, and I was so scared to follow back. one, because the fandom seems ot have this struggle of 'same muse anxiety' and all this. It was Miss T who was like 'its all good its safe!' and man, I don't have any regrets. I love all the chats we have about our Caitlyns, and despite being so different it such a pleasure to really get to see this. But also, your just a great person to talk to, from our fandom to just random things that pop up. You've been such a delight and I hope for more fun in the future.

@jynxd - Man, to think we struggled at first. I swear, moments like this is when I really do think I have autism cause I always have to find something that clicks. And then, we did and it was all over with. But mroe then that, our little group, we've been through so much and yet, having each other really helps get through it. Your friendship is amazing, your support, I lvoe having you in my life as well as Rune (@melody) <3

@ruinouss - I GOT YOU ADDICTED TO ARCANE HAHA! This is one of my proudest things ever. okay, not really, but I love how we have bonded over the last few months… or half year? I don't even know how long its been. But I love talking wiht you, just going wild over things from dragon age, to arcane, and still talking about BG3 (even though I'm struggling to write in that fandom right now). I hope you know your stuck with me, I'm never letting you go.

@goldenfists - I think oru friendship really shows the meaning of how time doesn't matter. I think for awhile there, we went quiet, 2-4 months or somethign like that. Like we really just, stopped talking. I know it wasn't became of anything between us, we just had so much on our plates, dealing with new fandoms or things. Yet, hte moment I sent you a message, it was like nothing had changed. The light was reignited and it was sitll there. This is what friendship should be, where even if things happen, we lose touch, time is just a construct. It doesn't determine the livelihood of friendship, and hte moment you start talking again its like no time has passed. You are amazing Joo, and I hope you know how much I value you time and our chats. It always makes my day <3

@gaevaer / @arcanacontained / @harpershigh / @ninetaels / @lvnarii

/ @hexedevolution / @stcries / @flordivina - You are all new friends and honestly, everytime we get to talk it makes me so excited! I know I might be terrible at talking lately, my hyperfixation can be hard to deal with and all that, but I absolutely LOVE getting to talk to all of you as well. I value you all, and I really hope for new and exciting things to come.

And then of course all my other new followers, I want you to know i'm always here if you want to message, I'm always open to chats. you are all valued and amazing in what you do and remember that we make this world what we want. Things can get hard, you can hit rock bottom. I did, and yet, we can still reach out, reach up, and be what we wnat to people. Never let anyone tell you what you can or can't do, make this year a time for you to develop yourself. Its not about what we have, but what we want to be.

Never forget your value.

SHIPPING INFO

answer the following for your muse(s) so people know how shipping works on your blog.

tagged by: stolen!

tagging: whoever, might be useful!

what’s your OTP for your muse(s)?

i won't lie and say that odesta doesn't have the dearest place in my heart, HOWEVER, it's not the only possibility, especially outside of the initial trilogy timeline. i have a deep fondness for johanna + annie, and have written with a katniss, as well as different oc's! <3

what are you willing to RP when it comes to shipping?

if it exists, it's for me! i like tropes, i like long thought out slowburns, i love a crackship, i can do (planned!!!!) toxic behaviors, soulmates, little flings, etc etc. annie has a lot of love in her heart and she loves to share it

how large does the age gap have to be to make it uncomfortable?

with annie at 23/24 in the main trilogy, i think anything below 20 or so is PUSHING it, and anything above 30 or so would be the same. no set in stone ages, but i'm also willing to shift ages around a little for au's

are you selective when shipping?

.........yeah. generally with finnicks, a little less so bc it's canon, i'm happy to throw some shippy stuff in the ring, but otherwise i wanna see some plotting in ooc and have chatted with you a bit

how far do steamy moments have to go before they’re considered NSFW?

rlly i will tag almost anything that goes past second base just for safety's sake. if i could see it at a moderately decent club downtown irl, we're fine. anything more, or anything i'm unsure of, and it gets tagged.

who are other muses you ship your muse with?

the limit is at the moon tbh. my big joke is that annie + any woman can happen with very few strings attached. she just loves love!

does one have to ask to ship with you?

almost 100% yeah. again, there's some leeway, i'm happy to autoship with people who write finnick bc we literally do not see them when they're not together

how often do you like to ship?

i love a ship, not gonna lie, but i do tend to prioritize her platonic relationships a tad more. i think that's also the best way to BUILD a romantic ship to be clear

are you multiship?

yes

are you ship obsessed or ship more-or-less?

i would say i'm ship more-or-less, but i match ur level of freak. are we sending each other tiktoks back and forth all day going "them"? then ya i am too. but i'm not actively seeking it

what is your favorite ship in your current fandom?

oh always odesta, but with a VERY soft spot for post-war johanna

finally, how does one ship with you?

chat with me! if we hit it off ooc i'm more likely to be excited about our threads, and more excited to brainrot with you about ships of all varieties

An excerpt from this chapter of 1950: It's Alice's first time going to school and Emmett is determined to prank her. Edward POV.

Alice's prediction that we were going to high school was, unfortunately, correct. Jasper knew how eager she was to begin going to school with the rest of us, and soon persuaded her that he would be just fine at home with Esme. Carlisle had gotten his coveted research position, but would still be working nights as often as he could manage, so he would also be home in the daytime occasionally.

Rosalie was a little disappointed about not going to college this time around, but she also wanted to be there for Alice's first time. And we all agreed that it should be high school, not college; less sun, a more predictable schedule, and plenty of opportunity for her siblings to remind her to act human. So for the first time ever, there would be four Cullens enrolling all at once— though not as Cullens. We were all Smiths this time around… just in case Jasper had another accident.

"I guess the Hale twins will have to wait," Rosalie sighed as we all sat together in our new living room, filling out our enrollment paperwork. We had found an old fixer-upper smack in the middle of nowhere, a mere fifteen miles from the park. It had a two-mile-long driveway, and the best part: the brief run to the park didn't cross any roads or go near any human settlements. Perfect.

"Let the McCarty twins have a turn, then," Alice said, winking up at Emmett.

I snorted. "It's still a dumb idea. Nobody's going to believe that you two are twins."

"I don't know," Carlisle mused, trying various possible combinations out in his head. "Maybe not twins, but how about biological brother and sister, with Emmett being a year older? And I suppose you could use McCarty if you like; we're a long way from Tennessee."

Alice and Emmett shared a high-five. "What about you two?" Emmett asked Rosalie and me.

"I could be Esme's younger brother again," I offered. "That would help break up the—" Esme cut me off, appearing beside me and kissing me on the cheek.

"I think that's a wonderful idea," she said, slipping her arm through mine. "Just like old times."

"I'll be Rosalie Smith, adopted at age six as usual," Rosalie decided. "Though I want to be the same grade as Emmett this time."

"I'll start as a freshman so I can keep an eye on Alice, and you two can be sophomores," I said reluctantly. "That'll give us the longest possible stay."

"Isn't this exciting?!" Alice squealed, filling out her form at lightning speed and dancing through her visions as she wrote. "I've never been to school before!"

"And you won't be there long, if you don't remember to act human," I warned her. "Starting with your writing speed."

"And walking speed," Rosalie added.

"Even I can tell that you talk too fast," Jasper said. "Slow it down a little."

"And do try not to answer people's questions before they ask them," Esme suggested gently.

"And remember to blink sometimes," Carlisle reminded her. "Shift your position now and then, so you don't look like a statue. And it always helps to—"

"Hey, everyone back off!" Emmett ordered, wrapping a huge arm around a pouting Alice. "I can take care of my little sister without you lot barking orders at her."

"Thank you," Alice said indignantly, tossing her head like Rosalie—though it didn't quite have the same effect, since her hair couldn't flip over her shoulder. Emmett squeezed her shoulders hard, thinking how nice it was to finally have a sister in the cover story.

This is going to be so awesome, he thought, grinning down at her. Let Operation Prank-the-Little-Sister begin!

.

.

.

The school, like the town, was under construction to accommodate the surge in population. There were two other sets of siblings that were new to the school the same week we started, and a good thing, too; with all the construction going on, a few of our classes were out in trailers and the sun seem determined to ruin our first day. Anything that diluted the attention of our peers was welcome.

Alice and I were late to our first class, which was English. The teacher gave us a sharp look as we slipped into two of the empty seats, trying not to draw attention. Which was impossible, because Alice had dressed up for her first day in something she called a poodle skirt, which she had ginsisted everyone else would be wearing. But her visions must have been skipping ahead, because nobody else was wearing one. All the girls near Alice's seat immediately began whispering behind their hands about the strange new girl.

"Slouch a little," I whispered behind my own hand. Alice was looking a little too enthusiastic, especially for first period. She carefully bent forward over her desk, arranging her posture and hands to match those of the students near her. The other girls continued to gossip about her, but that only fueled her excitement; if she had missed the mark in terms of fitting in, well, then she would just have to set a new trend for high school fashion.

I made a mental note to lecture her later about the need to not attract attention. But it turned out all right; by the time the first hour was over, several of the girls had decided to try and find a skirt just like Alice McCarty's. At least she had taken Esme's advice and used some of my old pomade to smooth down her hair into a respectable arrangement.

As the bell rang to end the period, the teacher shouted over its clamor. "One more thing, class! Here's a new book for you all to begin reading tonight. I think you'll all enjoy this one."

"Romeo and Juliet," Alice read aloud, flipping to read the summary on the back. "Ooh, a romance! Have you read this one before, Edward?"

"Only six times," I sighed, staring morosely at the book in my hands. I had agreed to go to high school for Alice's sake, but I was just beginning to remember why I hated it. Earlier this year, I had been a prestigious medical student. Now I was fifteen again, with half-grown girls batting their eyelashes at me. I had to ask permission to use the restroom, for heaven's sake. Not that I needed to, but still. And was it really necessary for every high school English class in the entire North American continent to read Romeo and Juliet?

On the other hand, there was something rather nice about being a carefree adolescent again. Our stay in New England had brought some pleasant memories: my first try at medical school, the addition of Alice and Jasper into our family... but also some painful ones. As I had said to Rosalie, this was the beauty of being immortal: every few years, we were given a chance to move on... to make a new start.

.

.

.

We met up with Rosalie and Emmett at lunch. Rosalie was enjoying her usual initial fame, leaving a line of gaping boys everywhere she walked. Emmett enjoyed the attention she was getting almost as much as she did; he was determined not to touch her for at least a week so the other boys would think they had a chance.

"That's just wrong, Emmett," I whispered from my spot in line behind him. "Kiss her and put them out of their misery."

"No, it's more fun this way!" he insisted. "And this way, I get babes staring at me too. Don't tell me you don't enjoy that at least a little."

"That's easy for you to say," I muttered. "You don't have to hear their thoughts. Do you have any idea what sixteen-year-old girls are capable of thinking these days?"

"So pretend you're going steady with Alice."

I snorted, grabbing a tray. "Somehow, I don't think Jasper would appreciate that."

He shrugged. "Whatever. Oh! Here she comes. Hey, sis, over here!" Alice scampered over to join us in line, barely keeping to human speed.

"Hi, everyone! I was just exploring one of the restrooms. Did you know they have mirrors that are five feet wide?!"

Haha! Watch this, Eddie… "All right, let big brother show you how it's done," he said grandly, handing Alice a tray. He dropped his voice to a dramatic whisper. "Now, the trick is to find the food that has the blandest scent. That way it doesn't taste so bad."

Alice grimaced, surveying the putrid choices in front of her. "But I thought… I didn't know you really ate it."

"Not in college," he said wistfully. "But in high school, they notice if you don't. Especially on the first day. I mean, a few bites is usually enough…" Come on, Eddie, back me up!

I rolled my eyes, but played along. I was her brother too, after all, and this was our only chance to pull one over on her. "Bread is good," I added, selecting a dinner roll and slapping it down on Alice's tray. "Nice and dry. Don't let them give you any butter. Vegetables are a good choice, too. Very natural."

"No!" Emmett whispered excitedly. "Meat. It tastes the closest to blood. Trust me." Alice reluctantly held her tray out, her nose wrinkling as the lunch lady plopped a serving of some wretched meat dish on her plate.

"Alright, now you have to get dessert," Emmett instructed. "It's standard high school procedure to leave most of the real food and eat all the dessert." Alice frowned again but reached for a danish. "No!" Emmett sighed, shoving her hand away. "You're a girl. Girls eat chocolate." He grabbed a dish overflowing with chocolate mousse and put it on her tray. "And milk. Also relatively painless to get down—I mean, we drink animals' bodily fluids all the time, right?"

"But—"

"That's good," he pronounced. He paid for all three of us. We made our way to an empty table and were soon joined by Rosalie.

She frowned, looking at Alice's loaded tray. "What—" Emmett made a cutting motion, and she sat down, rolling her eyes. Emmett began fiddling with his lunch, waiting to see what Alice would take a bite of first. She finally scooped her fork into the meat mixture, which was already funny because she was holding the fork wrong. She raised the foul stuff toward her mouth, but promptly had a vision of Emmett roaring in laughter as she made a horrid face.

"Emmett McCarty!" she hissed. She lowered the fork back to her plate, finally noticing that the rest of us had made different selections, and gave our brother a withering look. He sighed in disappointment.

"Can't blame me for trying," he grumbled, lifting his unopened pint of milk to his lips.

We spent the rest of the lunch teaching Alice all of our strategies for pretend-eating and for making the food look like we had eaten a good half of it. She did try a tiny bite of mousse out of curiosity, and just to be a good sport, Emmett tried one too.

"Not as bad as I thought," he admitted, gouging a bigger spoonful out of the mousse and burying it in the depths of his salad. "Now. It's tradition for new students to stand up and introduce themselves to everyone during lunch because it's the only time we're all together. The girls usually do it, though… "

Alice looked around the lunchroom eagerly, wondering what some of her new peers were like. She pushed back her chair to stand up, but then foresaw a crowd of students staring at her in confusion. She scooted her chair back toward the table, glaring at Emmett.

"Man…" Stupid visions. I'll get her yet.

"Good luck with that, Emmett," I laughed, leaning back and tossing my napkin over my mangled food.

"All right, seriously," Rosalie murmured to me behind a chewing motion. "Any problems?"

I shook my head. "All clear."

"And how are you doing, Alice?" she asked, touching her throat discreetly.

"Fine," Alice chirped.

"Good. I'd like to stay here for a while, if everyone can behave themselves." Rosalie shot Emmett a threatening look.

"I don't know what you mean," he said innocently as he stood up to throw away his uneaten lunch. "Come on, Alice, we have a few minutes before the next period. I'll give you a tour of the bowling alley in the basement."

SHIPPING INFO. Answer the following for your muse(s) so people know how shipping works on your blog.

What's your OTP for your Muse(s)?

Haicross… ❤️ Haicross tunnel vision…

What are you willing to RP when it comes to shipping?

Fluff, lots of fluff, casual domesticity, and stuff like that. Longing, yearning. There can be break ups and angst, and exes getting back together. And death, if only for a drabble, or a meme specifically about that ( because afterward is hard to work with, haha ). As long as I can see it and fits the muse that I'm writing at the moment, it's fine. My brain and my heart are very squishy things, though, and my English will get in the way for sure, so tropes that require a lot of thought and a lot of angst and a lot of good writing may be limited.

How large does the age gap have to be to make it uncomfortable?

I like crazy age gap in the right context ( mortal x immortal ; younger immortal x older immortal ), but that's it, I think.

Are you selective when shipping?

Yeah. I like my characters to be perceived a certain way, but that's half my responsibility there, to show the way I see them, eh. If you share the vision, we're off to a great start. I just don't agree with most of fandom pre-conceptions.

How far do steamy moments have to go before they’re considered NSFW?

Just a little spicy is enough for me to tag it both suggestive and nsfw at the same time, just to be safe.

Who are other muses you ship your muse with?

For both, platonic and romantic bonds, I've always leaned more towards OCs than canon characters. For canon characters, it has frequently been “rare pairs”, and so on. At least, that's the pattern I've noticed. Which I'm very happy with, heh.

Does one have to ask to ship with you?

Yes.

How often do you like to ship?

I love it. My blog is not ship-centered though, as loud as I am about the ships I do have and like, every reply here is supposed to be platonic, non shippy, by default. The muses I've picked so far are just kind-hearted or overly friendly, sometimes.

Are you multiship?

Yes.

Are you ship obsessed or ship more-or-less?

I used to be more reserved about it. But, now, I talk about the ships I like more openly, more freely. I don't know what that makes me though.

What is your favorite ship in your current fandom?

For Genshin, Cyhaino, second only to Haicross, which is real in my heart. For Honkai: Star Rail, JingHeng. Mmmm, Electro/Lighting white-haired Generals and their smart boyfriends, another pattern.

Finally, how does one ship with you?

Just by asking, and interacting a few times.

SHIPPING INFO // ANSWER THE FOLLOWING FOR YOUR MUSES SO PEOPLE KNOW HOW SHIPPING WORKS ON YOUR BLOG

WHAT IS YOUR OTP FOR YOUR CHARACTER(S)?

🌸｡*ﾟ+. Oh goodness, welp-- I'll try to list one for each muse... as well as one for both Romantic AND Platonic/Familial!

Romantic Hero of Time ♡ Dark Link (specifically @tenebriism's-- I'm sorry, this romantic ship doesn't work for me with any other iteration LOL THE Ruby to Time's Sapphire~) 🌸 First hero ♡ Sky 🌸 Riku ♡ Sora 🌸 Thancred ♡ Urianger 🌸 Ryou ♡ TKB 🌸 Galo ♡ Lio 🌸 Sorey ♡ Mikleo 🌸 Hank ♡ Connor 🌸 Sherlock ♡ Jon 🌸 Carlo/P ♡ Romeo🌸 Romeo ♡ Carlo 🌸 Amicia ♡ ??? (I really don't see much romance for her honestly. Time may change that, and I'm open to it! But by default I'm really not like... INVESTED in any romance for her!) 🌸 Phoenix ♡ Miles 🌸 Nahyuta ♡ Ema 🌸 Simon ♡ Athena 🌸 Ryunosuke ♡ Kazuma (... & ♡ Barok... I like my OT3's)🌸 Lifeweaver ♡ Baptiste 🌸 Mercy ♡ Moira 🌸 Herlock ♡ Prof. Mikotoba 🌸 Makoto ♡ Aigis 🌸 Rue ♡ Mint 🌸 Keith ♡ Shiro 🌸 Chara ♡ Frisk 🌸 Dean ♡ Castiel

Platonic/Familial Hero of Time ♡ Dark Link 🌸 First hero ♡ Sky (Again--) 🌸 Riku ♡ Naminé 🌸 Thancred ♡ Ryne 🌸 Ryou ♡ Yugi 🌸 Galo ♡ Aina 🌸 Sorey ♡ Lailah 🌸 Hank ♡ Connor (Again--) 🌸 Sherlock ♡ Mycroft 🌸 Carlo/P ♡ Gemini 🌸 Romeo ♡ ??? (HMMM... I mean, maybe his subordinates, but I never gave this thought!) 🌸 Amicia ♡ Lucas 🌸 Phoenix ♡ Maya (Honorable mention-- TRUCY his BABY GIRL--) 🌸 Nahyuta ♡ Apollo 🌸 Simon ♡ Athena (AGAIN--) 🌸 Ryunosuke ♡ Susato 🌸 Lifeweaver ♡ Symmetra 🌸 Mercy ♡ Tracer 🌸 Herlock ♡ Iris 🌸 Makoto ♡ Aigis (AGAI--//SHOT)🌸 Rue ♡ Claire 🌸 Keith ♡ Pidge 🌸 Chara ♡ Asriel 🌸 Dean ♡ Sam

HOW LARGE DOES THE AGE GAP HAVE TO BE TO MAKE IT UNCOMFORTABLE?

🌸｡*ﾟ+. I think anything beyond 10 ?? Of course, there's situational stuff though... like... if one character is immortal, for example. Then there's the situation in which sure I don't mind shipping two characters who are 15 and 17 together... and I don't mind shipping characters who are 20 and 30. But I do mind shipping a 15 year old with a 25 year old... ya dig???? So long as both parties are legal and consenting adults, then we're cool!

ARE YOU SELECTIVE WHEN SHIPPING?

🌸｡*ﾟ+. Oh yeah... if our specific muses just don't vibe? Then I don't vibe with the ship. On the opposite end, if our muses are vibing hard and it's not a ship I would usually ship? I am so down for shipping together because our interactions just make it work~

WHO ARE OTHER CHARACTERS YOU SHIP YOUR CHARACTER WITH?

🌸｡*ﾟ+. I-- I can't make this list agAIN-- and honestly, I tend to usually feel out ships through interactions. I'm open to all sorts of ships, so long as it's not: p*dophilic or inc*st. Not my cuppa and it grosses me out as well as triggers me. Do not do it around me, please and thank you-- especially the p*dophilic shit. No. Just. No.

DOES ONE HAVE TO ASK TO SHIP WITH YOU?

🌸｡*ﾟ+. Not really! If our interactions eventually lead up into our muses being shipped, then cool !! I'm not gonna be mad about it :D The one thing I do mind is when people I just start writing with immediately autoship with me. It's one thing for a friend of mine to make a new muse and just. Smash our muses together, and another entirely when a stranger comes in and tries to do the same. Again, I need to see how we vibe beforehand!

ARE YOU SHIP-OBSESSED OR SHIP MORE-OR-LESS?

🌸｡*ﾟ+. I would be lying if I said I didn't dedicate the most energy to my interactions that involve muses I have established relationships with... Once you start shipping with me, I get invested ;; ;; I just love all the little lads ♡

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE SHIP IN YOUR CURRENT FANDOM?

🌸｡*ﾟ+. Oh god, what is considered my CURRENT fandom-- Probably Ace Attorney, so I'd say... Wrightworth (Phoenix x Miles)? Though honestly I think Cykesquill (Simon x Athena) is a super close second ;; ;;

FINALLY, HOW DOES ONE SHIP WITH YOU?

🌸｡*ﾟ+. Just write with me! Let's feel it out! And if we feel like we're meshing well, I'll either say something in the tags along the lines of "Oh god I love them so much wait--" and that's your green light LOL Though honestly, if you feel like we would vibe even before writing together? Just shoot me a message and we'll give it a test run!

SHIPPING  INFO.  answer  the  following  for  your  muse(s)  so  people  know  how  shipping  works  on  your  blog.

What’s  your  OTP  for  your  Muse(s)?

Uhhhhhhhhhh....sukugo,nanago,gojohime, gego (I'm very picky how it's depicted tho)

What  are  you  willing  to  RP  when  it  comes  to  shipping?

MmMMMM I'm a flexible person but I won't write minor x adult, otherwise, angst, slice of life, ect but it must have a balance to it since too much of a good thing is just that

How  large  does  the  age  gap  have  to  be  to  make  it  uncomfortable?

don't be weird about age gaps, anything with minors is a no, otherwise satoru does well with older partners

Are  you  selective  when  shipping?

no and also yes, I need chemistry ooc or ic. I need to know that we're on the same page, vibing, and generally feeling one another. if not, it just feels like a waste of time between us. understanding, patience, but also comminucating openly with one another is a constant given. it's easier to say yes to a ship when someone is just as energetic or wanting to know you too. so, a bit of both! if we're vibing or our muses feel it, then hell yeah.

How  far  do  steamy  moments  have  to  go  before  they’re  considered  NSFW?

uhhhhhHHHHHH, grinding, heavy makeouts, nips are out then yeah it's time to hit that read more.

Who  are  other  muses  you  ship  your  muse  with?

there is a lot cross-over wise I ship satoru with I can't really name anything else in particular you just suggest a ship and yeah or no that's it

Does  one  have  to  ask  to  ship  with  you?

yes and no, we can always start things out with our muses flirting and then if you want a concrete dynamic plotting or IMing me is the best way to go.

Are  you  multiship?

Yes! But I tend to be mutually exclusive with those I am close to, otherwise, I feel it's just respectful I also ask for the same thing as I've had some nasty expierences with Satoru and his portrayal is incredibly precious to me.

Are  you  ship  obsessed  or  ship  more-or-less?

more or less obsessed with a good meaty ship, highly developed, very entwined with one another so a bit of both!

What  is  your  favorite  ship  in  your  current  fandom?

hNRHGHHHHHHHHH nanago, it's so deliciously angsty and precious I could go on but literally it's genuinely a fave, gojohime quickly became another due to the symbolism, sukugo because they're literally match my freak but freakier, ahHHHH then gego is fun on the basis I just want to know if these two were hooking up during the ten years apart lmao.

Finally,  how  does  one  ship  with  you?

beat me up in the dms by asking to ship, we can always begin that way, send in prompts, just interact and hang out ooc wise it's not complicated all I can do is say yes or no.

SHIPPING INFO. Answer the following for your muse(s) so people know how shipping works on your blog.

DAN FENG.

What’s your OTP for your Muse(s)? YinYue (Yingxing/Dan Feng)!

What are you willing to RP when it comes to shipping? Anything so long as the chemistry is right (between muses and muns) and sensitive topics are treated as such! Off the table are ships with female muses since I write DF as gay. Dan Heng is a different story. He's somewhere on the bisexual spectrum.

How large does the age gap have to be to make it uncomfortable? Since DF is old, I'm most comfortable shipping him with other long-life species or muses over 25 minimum. There's no upper limit. Give us those older gentlemen. Dan Feng is very appreciative of them.

Are you selective when shipping? I prefer to ship with people I talk to ooc at least somewhat regularly, but I'm open to shipping with all mutuals!

How far do steamy moments have to go before they’re considered NSFW? As soon as fantasies or sexual thoughts come into play and there is an intention of exploring them - sensual touches, a desire to press harder, touch one another more intimately. Though I should say I'm not too comfortable writing these things most days. Plotting or talking about it is fun though and can help greatly to develop a ship!

Who are other muses you ship your muse with? Jing Yuan, generally speaking, plus of course muse combos I've already developed with shipping partners on here!

Does one have to ask to ship with you? Yes. I don't like pre-establishing ships without talking about it first. If ships develop naturally over time, that's great! I'd still like to talk about it before things go past flirting, just to make sure we're on the same page.

How often do you like to ship? However often they come about! I like to develop them properly and explore different dynamics + how muses change one another. So there's never enough of that in particular!

Are you multiship? Yeah!

Are you ship obsessed or ship more-or-less? I obsess over ships once they are established and particularly so when shipping partners mirror my excitement. I also have my favorite fandom ships that I read an unhealthy amount of fanfic about. This doesn't necessarily have any impact on my blogs though.

What is your favorite ship in your current fandom? YinYue. It's not even close.

Finally, how does one ship with you? Talk to me ooc and hit me with the good old "But what if they kissed?" Important addition, however, is that I need ship partners to put effort into developing the ship with me. This doesn't have to consist of only ic-threads, but if nothing happens past the initial conversation where we agree on the ship, I will assume you (no longer) have any interest in pursuing it and consider the case closed until otherwise discussed.

[beardedmrbean]

How old are you?

About a month younger than Star Wars, 46 if you don't feel like doing the math on that one.

The tags on the post where I was musing about the Dyna Soar finally got you curious enough to ask then I'm guessing.

Magazine I had a subscription to had done a write up on it, but the whole magazine was geared towards people Jr High or younger, which I was in that range, so not a huge amount of technical info and what not there but I absorbed every word about the thing and could never find any more info even at the local library.

Took a fair while before much was even on the net, but there's lots now. Not sure why that one interests me so much. Not a whole lot sticks in my head for some reason, but I'm ok with that since then I get to read about it again.

Big fan of the Voyager probes too, but that's because we're the same age, and they're rad. Don't think the folks that designed them knew what they'd managed to build and I hope some of them are still around to see it.

Love your blog btw, best aerospace and aviation blog I've encountered on here, great pics, great information, and it's not redundant just top notch through and through.

Sorry about rambling adhd does that to me sometimes, tried to make it short lol.

SHIPPING INFO. | answer the following for your muse(s) so people know how shipping works on your blog.

what’s your otp for your muses?

Considering Sayuri is an OC it's very up in the air. I do enjoy her with Naoya considering she is meant to be very Zen'in coded in militaristic style. Nanami is a given, you will die from the angst && gladly enjoy it. UhHH Uro, she was so cool, Sayuri would have loved her had it not been a battle to the death && them in the Heian Era together would have went hard. In the right circumstances, Gojo would be interesting but this has to be intensely plotted as the Kobayashi Clan rejects the Gojo Clan with a violence like no other. Hiromi is certainly another person I high key ship her with since it's hysterical he is a lawyer while she is the personification of divine justice. Ask me about cross-over ships then it gets really fun.

what are you willing to rp when it comes to shipping?

I'm a pretty go with the flow person, I do like meatier plots, more in depth things to better entwine the muses together. It's basically we're in this hell together, superglued attach, so tell me what you want.

how large does an age gap have to be to make it uncomfortable?

Sayuri is 27, I cannot see her dating anyone below her age group. She's fine with older partners granted she is made for that type of shipping due to being an old woman in a young body. Otherwise, don't be weird or icky, I will find you thus proceed to maul you.

are you selective when shipping?

Yes and no, I am only selective when knowing my partner feels the same way. Otherwise, continuing to tease ships, go from hot to cold, or make your muse the central theme of a ship is a quick way for me to say thanks but no thanks.

how far do steamy moments have to go before they’re considered nsfw?

If there are nips out on both side, it's time to put it under a read more, thank you.

who are other muses that you ship your muses with?

AHhHHHH oh, cross-over ships I have for her is Cregan Stark, Aemond Targaryen, Myseria, Shadowheart of BG3, Blackwall of Dragon Age Inquisition, Josephine Montilyet.

does one have to ask to ship with you?

No and yes, you can send in flirty things, suggestive things, hell even on sunday idc if we do nsfw. Sometimes it builds to a ship, otherwise, if you want to solidify it and actually become partners, then yes - just pop into the DMs to beat me up or demand we become locked in together.

are you multiship?

Of course but exclusive to one canon, with ocs, you're my friend && we're in this together ~

are you ship obsessed or ship more-or-less?

I do love shipping, I don't like there is a general dislike that one shouldn't be shipped obsessed. Yes, write romantica, erotica, whatever your dreamer little heart desires because it's fun. Just be mindful, kind, and respective that's it. That being said, I sometimes fall into that category cause I too have a soft marshmallow heart. Sometimes my little blob brain is just, hahahahahaha kissies, anyway! that's a good question. My only thing is that the ship is meaty, then I become utterly enthralled by it since there is an actual excitement between both parties. I do not like to be the only active participant in a ship that is trying so hard to make it work, it feels like a waste of time then, so I guess that's how I do become ship obsessed.

what is your favorite ship in your current fandom(s)?

I'm a little freak that'd get pitch forked but uh, sukugo is probably a great love of mine

finally, how does one ship with you?

Just bash the door down via DMS and go: CEREZA HOLY FUCK. That's it, that's all it takes, you now have a rabbit like woman who would die for you.

Rules- Please Read

Been writing for quite a few years now, but just got into Tumblr RP- please bear with me!

I may be a little selective while I test the waters, please don't be upset if I take some time to write or reply

I will read rules and about pages! I want to make sure we're both on the same page, and that we're okay!

Don’t god mod please. It’s not fun for anyone involved

I am not good with fight scenes, replies will take longer for those. Please be understanding.

I will default to FFVII Remake timeline, or at least what we have so far for it, and use headcanons to cover the rest.

Lucas is gay, but has been in past relationships with women. That doesn't change his sexuality or mean he hates women.

Zero tolerance policy on anon hate- I will turn it off if people are assholes.

SAY HI ANYTIME. I MIGHT BE SHY BUT I LOVE MAKING FRIENDS. Personal or Roleplay blog!

Will interact with any and all rp characters- Final Fantasy or not!

To add, of course I will interact with other OCs. I will probably ask a dozen questions about your OC however. I love learning about the characters people create.

I have never interacted with a multi muse blog, but I would love to see all your characters! Please just clarify which character you're using.

Ships gotta have some chemistry somewhere, or at least some build up. I won't jump right into it with just any character.

That being said, Lucas will sleep with most anyone- that DOES NOT mean I will ship him with the character.

Dont be afraid to remind me of an rp reply that I owe! I am not a very active person, and I sometimes forget. I won't be mad if you give me a small nudge that I forgot to give an answer.

On that note however, please understand that I'm an adult and I have a life to live outside of rp. Please repsect and understand that if I disappear for some time.

Unless explicitly stated, no art or photos on this blog belong to me.

Do not steal Lucas' story, or character. PLEASE. This has nearly happened before. I WILL NOT tolerate it happening a second time.

REGARDING SMUT: I am not a minor, but I am very selective of who I will write smut with, even if Lucas is willing to sleep with most anyone. Chemistry is a must between writers. NO MINORS.

NO HATE. If I see you spreading anti anything I will block. I don't do second chances anymore. ZERO TOLERANCE FOR ANY OF IT. ESPECIALLY ANTI LGBTQ+. I AM A QUEER MAN.

Please do not harass me if you are blocked. I don't like blocking people but I will do it if needed.

Behind the Screen

#THEM!!!!#gosh I love them so much#god where do I even START#qyzen! I'm so happy to see qyzen get some love he's such an underappreciated companion and you really nailed his voice 💚#endrali straight up nopeing off of the entire planet because she was too horny#arcann seeing her leave and immediately assuming he'd done something wrong 😭😭 (laura bailey voice) can I hug him?#the combat! I always love how you write fights you do it so welllllll#the TENSION in that last conversation!#it felt like the *slightest* slip in self-control from either of them would have them making out right there in the hall#let them smoooooch#but more than that: LET 👏 ENDRALI 👏 FUCK 👏 she is gonna combust if she doesn't let off some of that steam soon#(qora is patting endrali on the shoulder in sympathy. 'could be worse. at least your bond doesn't have you sharing dreams with him.')

@haledamage I love them so much too, way WAY more than I expected when I first went "idk, Endrali's single I ~guess~ I could have her romance Arcann...?" played myself big time there😂 I was so happy getting to give Qyzen some love, he deserves it, and he was really, really fun to write. His speech pattern is so neat.

(Arcann's knee-jerk reaction to her leaving without him being "Clearly I did something wrong" is going on my list of writing things I'm proudest of for the year ngl[sorry, dude]. There's at least a couple points in the Sacrifice trailer where he and Thexan look to Valkorian for affirmation and Valkorion just turns away, so I felt it made sense and a habit he's learning to undo)

I have had this idea swimming around in my head for ages, but wanted to write the things leading up to the Unmasked Regret convo in chronological order(even if I have written stuff that skips to after they're together :3). I just find it hysterical, that my sweet, perky lil blueberry had such an X-rated dream about the guy she had to run away nope off the whole-ass planet to feel safe. We're definitely at the point where they both have Feelings for the other, and both are burying them very very deep bc they're so sure they aren't reciprocated, so why mess up what they have? and THIS is the thing that makes Endrali realize even if it's awkward and she's convinced he doesn't Like Her Like That(how she's missed the heart eyes GOD ONLY KNOWS), she has to at least tell him she Like-likes him, "I think I'm falling in love with you" etc etc and just deal with the fallout if it's not mutual. But then things get super busy for a couple weeks and then IOKATH, so she doesn't get a chance. And fun fact! Arcann planned to say something in that same interim and chickened out and then ofc she almost dies, which is what finally makes him give her the armor + confess. :3

SO yeah, next piece for them should cover the Unmasked Regret talk and there will be smooching, I promise. Less sure on the timeline for the Let Endrali Fuck part, but she's one of the pushier muses in that regard, so we shall see.

I love writing combat, I think I've mentioned that one or two(hundred) times? :P And I guess loving it so much means I write it more so it's one of the things I've really honed(thank you <333).

(And I love the mental image of Qora--So. Much. Taller--giving Endrali sympathy pats and Endrali pulling a 'You've Got a Point" face🤣🤣🤣)

Dedicate Slate

Jeff Hallows.

That's all I had to go on. Although, it wasn't difficult to hear him through the incessant chatter at the gastro pub he chose, wearing fluorescent clothing that makes him easily identifiable. He waves me down, grinning widely. I take a deep breath, plastering a smile on my face and match his energy, being overly bubbly and friendly. He warms to me instantly, thinking this is just what I'm like. What reason does he have to think I'm not?

"It's so nice to finally meet you!" I say in the chirpiest voice, irritating myself.

"I feel the same way."

It isn't long before he's launching into some story about himself. I glance around and note a few people nearby who seem as irritated by him as me. Even the waitress struggles not to roll her eyes while desperately trying to get his order, almost giving up several times.

"I'll have whatever he's having," I say, batting my eyelashes. He smiles at me, smug that his date strokes his ego.

"You are the perfect woman." I smile, trying not to let my guard down.

"Anything for my man."

He continues to delve into stories about himself, barely asking about me. Apparently, the age old 'women should be seen but not heard' applies to him, fancying himself an old fashioned sort. A fraud, if you ask me.

The food arrives on slates, and by this point, I have him figured out. A hipster who likely brews his own coffee and wants to live off the land cos he doesn't trust supermarkets. A hipster who follows anything seemingly uncool, but is actually on the verge of being cool, and pretends he was there from the start. A hipster who writes his own poetry and dedicates it to you, claiming you are his muse, when in actuality, it's completely misogynistic and demeaning to women.

I sit through the whole ordeal, anticipating the moment the date from hell is over. An agonising hour passes before we're done. I smile at him for the last time as he drives me home, except I ask for a detour to the cliffs, aka the famous makeout spot. Not that I have any intention of kissing him, but if needs must...

Not long after, I leave his car and storm away, shouting at it as I do. Anyone nearby would think we had an argument, that I'd had enough and was ready to end things. Shortly after, the car rolls forward and over the cliff, sending Jeff into the watery depths below. He was unconscious when I left him, spiked with a needle that knocked him out. If he became conscious again, it wouldn't be for long, and certainly not in time to save himself.

I see the car rolling off the cliff and run back towards it, almost as if I were trying to save the bastard, then break down crying when I fail, a distance away from the car. I allow a stranger to steer me away, back towards a pub. It takes a while to convince them I'm okay to get back home, that I don't need their help.

It's only then, back in my small flat, I smile and reward myself with a glass of wine. I'll get my payment shortly. Another arsehole dead. What a way to end yet another date from hell.

1. Mun is severely over 21. Victoria, Australia (Australian EST). Not mutuals only, but semi-selective. 18+ only, please.

2. Rules are under the Readmore below. Last rules update 24th August 2024.

3. Muse Information on Carrd. For her main verse, please read at least the summary at the top. Several of her AU verses have different versions of the muse. Marvel, Dune and Tolkien verses are movie/TV based.

4. Policies on this blog. Not 'rules' but how I do things here.

5. Mains and Exclusives.

6. Please don’t reblog memes from me if you’re not going to send one. Reblog from the source instead. Memes - Ship Memes - Headcanon Memes - NSFW Memes / NSFW HCs - Munday Memes - Open Starters

7. Muse Stats Hair: Brown Eyes: Blue-Grey Age: In AU verses, usually 30+ Place of Birth: In her main verse, Cornwall, England Gender: Female Sexuality: Heterosexual

8. Rules under the cut.

Basics Original character and writing are mine and not for reproduction. (2012-2025). Likewise original graphics on the blog (icons, promos, background images) are made by me and are not for general use.

I do not consent for any of my writing or graphics made by me to be used with, for or as part of any form of AI generation.

I very much prefer people I follow to have some rules somewhere for their muse.

I do NOT RP with:

Minors. No-one under 18 years, selective with under 21. No age mentioned, no follow.

Personal (non-RP) blogs. I'll check to see if you have RP sideblogs.

Discord only 1x1 with people I don't know/haven't spoken with before.

NOs:

If your blog is mostly or completely intended for any of these, I'm not the partner you're looking for. You do you, but we're not compatible.

Instant smut (see below).

Infidelity/cheating plots.

Non-con, dub-con (including A/B/O) or sexual assault.

Incest.

Toxic ships, dead dove.

Pregnancy threads, especially where my muse is the one pregnant.

Animal abuse.

Abusive/manipulative characters. Villains are on a case by case basis, but muses who are by their canon nature or intended to be played as abusive are not.

Very, very selective with;

‘Unrequited crush’ threads need to be talked about first, and boundaries set. Usually only with muns I know well.

‘Fight’ threads where it’s Thera against someone else’s muse. Her vs random NPCs is fine.

Child muses (under 13). NPCs are OK, but not children who are the main muse. Any threads with older teens will be strictly platonic.

Shipping / Smutting. No instant smut. Smut may happen in the context of a ship, but it's not the sole intent of this blog.

Shipping needs to be talked about first. Thera is multiship, male-attracted, and we enjoy shipping. But it’s still not going to be an automatic-everybody thing. There’s got to be some sort of IC build up and OOC talk as well, to see how the muses get along and that we're on the same page. If we haven't talked about it OOC, it's not happening.

No means no. On both sides. If I say no to something I expect you to listen. Conversely, if you say no I’m going to take that as final, so if you change your mind later you need to tell me.

Also please do not say yes when you mean no. Just rip off the bandaid, OK?

Interaction Please communicate, please reciprocate. This is a hobby, but it’s a hobby we should both enjoy and it’s not enjoyable when something’s all one-sided. Busy happens, favourites happen, but if I’m doing all the sending and messaging and you don’t do any, especially if you’re active with others, then no hard feelings but after a while I’m going to move along.

Reblogging Memes Please don’t reblog memes or starter lists from me without sending me one. You don't have to send me something, but if you don’t please reblog them from the source instead.

Post length I’m good with any, as long as we’re putting in roughly equal effort.

Triggers and Tags NSFW or strong violence will be tagged, potential triggers as '[thing] tw'. If you need anything specific tagged, let me know (if you have a tag already blacklisted, tell me and I’ll use it).

Likewise, if there’s something you’re not comfortable RPing (or thought you were but then realise you’re not) please say so - I only ask that you do the same for me if needed.

God-Modding. I write my muse, you write yours, and if in doubt, ask. Please don’t decide for me what she does, thinks or feels (or did before the events of the thread), that your muse has done something to her, or put her in a certain situation, without asking first. Also, ignoring what I’ve just written and continuing as if Thera never said or did something counts as god-modding, too.

Meta-gaming is giving your muse OOC knowledge IC. There are muses out there powerful enough that they could know things, but please talk to me about it first.

On those last two points, I also reserve the right to say no.

Vague/Guilt-Posting Trying to pressure or guilt me into RPing with you is going to have the opposite effect to what you want. Asking if I saw a post or reminding me once or twice is fine, talking to me directly about a problem, likewise. Messages specifically intended to make me feel bad for not replying/RPing with you are not.

Thanks for reading through!
