//Cheese and crackers, I haven’t been here in forever. Uh, since when I drifted off here things were pretty shitty, just an fyi for anyone that’s still around from back then that things worked out alright in the end. 

Am alive. Am in love. Am safe and secure. Can’t really ask for more than that. 

Anyway I live over on my FFXIV blog now, @twotonedechoes, if anyone wants to hunt me down.

A wonderful blog post by @charismatickinslayer regarding the usage of epithets and when to not use them (and when to totally use them). 

Definitely read if you are curious about the usage, or want to see why epithets are not all evil or the tell-tale sign of amateur writing (and how it can set the tone for a story!)

“She let go of a breath she didn’t know she was holding” I’LL SHOW YOU A BREATH SHE DIDN’T KNOW SHE WAS HOLDING So okay this is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever come across in writing and it’s not the dumbest but it’s getting there. Okay so being speechless, fine, breath hitching, fine, mouth opening in shock, that’s fine too because THOSE ARE THINGS THAT ACTUALLY FUCKING HAPPEN

So me a favor, okay? Hold your breath for a sec. No big dramatic huge breath needed, though you can do that too, I won’t spoil for your fun. But just hold it. For. Six. Seconds.

You felt that right? Yes we can forget to breathe if we’re super concentrating on something (it’s weird but it often happens if you’re like hyper-focused) but it’s not so much that we forget to breathe it’s that our body is doing it without us realizing because we’re focused on more important things. But you felt that right? Your body is chill with you holding your breath for a full second. Maybe a full three seconds. But then it’s like HOLY SHIT WE NEED THAT TO LIVE FUCKING STOP. And that’s the thing right there. That’s the thing. Air is something you need for survival, it’s not like something you might do in shock like rock or tears might start falling and you’re too numb to realize it or gripping someone’s hand. Because it’s okay for your brain to not pay attention to that because it isn’t interrupting the one thing you need TO FUCKING LIVE. Your brain can’t ignore that shit, it specifically exists to keep you alive, it’s just not going to let you hold you breath for more than a few seconds because YOU’LL FUCKING DIE

“She let out a breath she didn’t know she was holding”, fuck off.

Sun/Moon Demo Thoughts

Small spoilers maybe?

I walk like an idiot.

I hope this trend of Slowpoke everywhere carries through the whole game because I am so on board with that. 

This camera is obnoxiously close. 

Pushing the truck did not give me a Mew.

Team Skull wins instantly for most cringe-inducing of them all.

Guess who literally just noticed that “scarf” is Greninja’s tongue? 

Seriously that’s fucking gross why?!

Ugh. Looks like HM’s are back. And there I was hoping I wouldn’t have to devote a spot to HM slave...

Once you defeat a certain type of Pokemon, future encounters of the same kind show which moves are effective against them in battle. Not quite sure how I feel about that. Feels a little too hand-holdy, tbh.

I GET TO PLAY POKEMON SNAP?! THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER!!!

Oh. No I don’t. This is the worst day ever!!!

The little victory pose is cute.

Yeah, the Team Skull idjits are gonna get on my nerves.

There’s a Pikachu on my head. 

OOOOOH. So I don’t need HMs maybe?! Could this be???

I don’t have the patience required for the Pokemon catching contest. 

‘Mysterious old man’ huh? More like extreme stranger danger.

Guess we’re coming back tomorrow! 

No surprises here really. Except the Tauros charge thing. Really hoping that means HM’s aren’t a thing anymore. (This may already have been addressed, and I am just out of the loop, idk.) Still, it’s Pokemon, and it’s fun. I keep wanting it to go more serious, ever since Black and White, but if anything this one seems more kiddy, and way more... anime? Idk. The Z moves, and the some of the rest, hits that distinctly Japanese kid’s cartoon spot. It’s all rather silly. Of course, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. I’m interested to see what these new things it’s hinted at over the next month are!

When to go tf to sleep

Me, asking Izze how an AU version of her character is coming along: 

How goeth the Skyrimming?

...

Oh god

No

Forget I ever said that.

[charismatickinslayer]

Please, please, please. I need to keep my house =[ 

Money spell! Reblog to charge it with your intent; the more people see it, the more powerful it becomes. Magic should be fun!

//Three fucking porn blogs already today -_- This is really just getting ridiculous. @staff Maybe do something about this? You know, the fact that we get bombarded with gross porn we don’t want multiple times every single say (a lot of it incest and other nasty and also illegal fetish topics)? Maybe do something about that? Yeah?

Polyamory/Polyships

So you want to make a poly verse!

I have seen a huge upsurge of polyships on tumblr lately and it makes me really happy as living, breathing, polyamorus person. Everyone likes positive representation, even if its just people writing it on tumblr.

But lets take a step back and examine what polyamory means, and what you can do to make your polyverse better and more realistic.

What is polyamory?

A lot of people don’t know what it is, or they have a misguided idea of what these types of relationships look like based on the media and culture. On the most basic of levels, polyamory is simply a relationship consisting of more than one person where everyone is 100% in the know. This is not an excuse to cheat on partners. It is 100% consensual from everyone involved.

Polyamory consists of various different styles. There is the one that most of you are likely interested in - the one where everyone loves each other, has sex with each other, etc etc. But this is not the only form. There are poly relationships where not all members engage in sex but still love everyone, and there are even forms where two people are dating the same person, but they are not dating each other, but are 100% aware of the other person and consent to their relationship. 

Jealousy does exist in these relationships. But knowing how to step away from it, to remember that you are loved and cherished just as much as another is really important. Having trust in your partners enough to not let those emotions rule you. I have had poly relationships fail because people couldn’t set aside their jealousy. But its also important for one to step back and make sure that they aren’t acting in a way that is eliciting those negative emotions. Like… have you been devoting a significant amount of time with person y while person x could use a little more attention? Now, another important note is: expectations for relationships like this are dangerous. Remembering that no one owes you anything is important, and therefore you are not entitled to attention or affection. Similarly to RP, people get in moods where they want a specific type of attention, and perhaps you are not the one in the relationship that offers that. Remember that they still love you and your time will come as long as you aren’t an ass about it.

Communication is KEY. Remember to talk to your RP partners AND their muses about desires and thoughts. Muse having a bad time because x is happening? Maybe they’re jealous. If your muse doesn’t communicate those emotions, things could get worse. Just like in any regular relationship, communication is important, but its especially important when more people get involved. Speaking up when you’re uncomfortable instead of going with the flow is super super critical to a successful poly relationship.

Poly relationships aren’t just one big giant orgy all the time. Usually, its just a large cuddle pile while watching scary movies or arguing about who used the last of the coffee creamer - or goddamn it you two get out of the shower, I have to pee. Its sharing your life with more than one person. It’s knowing that one person cannot be your everything, and expecting that of someone isn’t fair. It’s knowing that you have so much love to give and knowing you’re going to get just as much back. It’s the idea that we all have more than one “soulmate” and sometimes you meet them all at once.

Give me more realistic poly relationships. Just. Give me more poly ships. I support your poly ships 100%. I just thought I’d give my insight based on my personal experiences. If you ever have any questions about it, don’t hesitate to ask, because I love talking about this kind of stuff.

LMAO I know this guy. Worked with him. Pretty cool dude. This is hilarious. 

But also worth talking about. I see a thousand posts of fuck boys pulling this shared a day, with comments talking about how disgusting men are. What’s the bet the Tumblr machine won’t have two shits to give about seeing a woman pull the same gross crap? The behavior isn’t any less disgusting from a girl, and this chick deserves to be blasted just as hard for it as the dudes who do it.

Hey just wanted to give a nice reminder amidst the Coming Out Day posts and all the celebration of that, if you are in a place where you cannot come out, or you’re not comfortable or safe doing so, please don’t feel badly or guilty. 

It’s easy, seeing all this prodding to do so, to start to feel bad when you’re in a place where you cannot safely do so. Please remember you do not have to come out today. You don’t have to come out this week, or this month, or this year. You can take your time, and come out when you are secure in yourself, and safe. 

So on Coming Out Day, I want to say I love you, and I support you, to our brothers and sisters in the community who cannot add their voices to the cheers and celebrations yet. And I want to say I love you, and I support you, to those who have come out in the past, and faced hatred and violence for doing so. You are brave, and your struggle is not insignificant. Happy Coming Out Day, even if that door remains securely closed for you.

Scar: Right eye

That glare could freeze oceans. “I lost it to a mortal. A wicked little hidden blade. It was a... slip of concentration. But never you fear. I retrieved it in due time.”

((Sorry to hear that. :( I really hope things improve for you!))

//And you, friendo. We’ve missed you, and been worried about you. I’m not really ever on Skype anymore (don’t even have it installed anymore, matter of fact), but I do the Discord thing, and made a new FB, if you wants them. No vanishing again! Not allowed!

[charismatickinslayer]

Hmm, yes. Tamriel and such.

//So, playing TES: Oblivion again, and kind of picked up a new muse. Would any of y’all have any interest in playing with an Elder Scrolls based OC? Is that a thing that happens? Seems likely, but then again, I also thought for certain there would be a ton of D&D muses, and I was quite wrong. If it do exist, is it a cool place to hang out? Good fandom?

Inquiring minds wish to know.

Scars on the back/wings?

“I have no scars. Such blemishes are... unsightly.”

“...”

“Very well. My left wing bears a burn mark of all curses, from shoulder joint to hip. You can thank Mara for it. I certainly did. I thanked her rather thoroughly and repeatedly with cold steel through her throat. A pity she lacked the common decency to remain deceased.”
