That feeling when the crash is now imminent 😃

Based on this:

Mod: Hey folks! This isn't aimed at anyone in particular, and it's come up after multiple asks and conversations from several different parties over months, so please don't think of this as a callout! I'm solely establishing the norms for this blog to make sure that newer folks are aware of how things work here.

Pumpkin's crew, from his ship, consists of the following people, exclusively and definitively:

@/nursexanya

@/cptjimmy

@/swan-and-bolts

@/theman-withthe-dustpan

He does not currently have a Daisuke, which isn't really a big deal the way things are currently being written; if one is added to the crew, it will only be by the consensus of said crew's mods.

The only OC directly affiliated with this crew at present is Jon/June, the janitor, which was decided mutually after ooc discussion based on what made narrative sense to us based on what we had been writing together. Jon was not an original part of his crew before the anomaly and his acceptance as part of the crew now does not mean that we have retconned that.

All of our blogs are written with a serious tone, grounded in a hefty dose of realism both in terms of science when and where we can, and also in the human interactions. We hold ourselves to a high standard in this regard, and most of us very rarely allow magic anons, and only circumstantially do when we find it helpful to the blog in some way.

Because of that, while we may have plenty of humorous moments, the overall tone of our writing tends to be darker and full of conflict between the crew due to the circumstances they find themselves in. This is by design. We all met because of our desire to tell a serious story and coalesced because of our shared values about this and other matters.

You are more than welcome to send asks and starters and interact with Pumpkin, but here's a handy list of what to do or not do:

DO

Have a well-fleshed out character with an actual backstory

Give your character genuine struggles to overcome

Make them behave like a professional in a workplace

Interact with Curly in a professional capacity

Keep personal interactions appropriate to talking with a stranger

Give your character hobbies and interests

Make sure they behave like a reasonable adult

DON'T

Start hitting on Curly immediately

Provide nothing but surface-level interactions

Write with the primary intention of pursuing a relationship with Curly

Claim to be a member of his ship's crew

Flirt aggressively

Try to retcon your character into his prior interactions

Godmode (try to take control of someone else's character, in this case Curly)

Pressure me into writing my character differently

Have a minor (under 18yo) character

Write your character as being constantly immature or childish

If you're unsure and need clarification about any of these, feel free to send an ask about it. :) Once again, this isn't meant to discourage anyone from interaction. This is solely about establishing what this blog is intended for, and what both Curly's standards for the people he'll voluntarily talk to, and my standards as mod for what I'm willing to write, involve. If you find that what you prefer to write is on my list of no's, that doesn't mean I hate you. All it means is that our writing wouldn't be a fit together, and that you're better off finding another Curly to interact with who does enjoy those things.

As long as you're writing a realistic and mature adult in their workplace and behaving accordingly, it's likely that they'll get along with Pumpkin just fine.

TECHNOLOGY IS AMAZING ❤️

Jimmy reads and rereads the message cocking his head to the side.

Something just felt .... off, but he wasn't going to push, never goes well. At the same time, there's this nagging feeling that Curly isn't telling him everything.

[Text] Sure you're not sick? Maybe you should stop in with Anya just for a check up...

[Text] If you're having trouble sleeping you can always come bunk with me, promise I'll snuggle ya real good. You'll be out like a light.

He sighs, that feeling refusing to leave him. Curly wouldn't lie to him, right? Ah, god, what if he's dying?

[Text] Curls, you're not ... dying, right?

[Text] Janitor's colorblind

[Text] Thought I'd let you know.

[Text] also..

[Text] Everything okay? You've been acting a little ... different. You know you can tell me anything, right?

- @cptjimmy

Curly isn't too worried about the first part of the message. If Jon is colorblind, that's not exactly a big deal, is it? It's good to know, of course, but if it took them this long to notice that, he's probably getting by just fine.

Still, he can't just avoid responding forever.

Sighing, he taps out a message of his own.

That's interesting. Thank you for telling me, Jim. :) I'm fine, promise. Lately I've been having weird dreams, but I'll be okay once I get more rest. It's nothing to worry about, I'm just tired. You know how weird I get when I haven't been sleeping. Remember that time I taped trash bags over the windows because I got so paranoid before finals week? This is nowhere near that bad.

It's a little white lie, one to protect Jim -- to protect all of them -- from the truth. But it's the kind he's been telling him for a long, long time. There's no reason for Jim to get suspicious of him now, surely...is there?

"Yeah, yeah, probably have.
