i’m updating here just to clarify for everyone waiting on me for replies, etc etc: i’m not sure when i’ll be returning to this blog. i definitely want to in the future, but my depression hit a new low during last term and i’ve gotten seriously behind on my uni work. i’m seeking help and support for the depression ( i’ve recently started taking meds + doc is helping me arrange counselling ) and i’ve been in contact with my uni so i’m doing what i can to amend the situation, dw about me, but yeah, ya girl needs to step back for the remainder of this academic year for the sake of her degree. rn i’m tentatively gonna say that i will return to writing on this blog in the summer, probably around august when i move back home. this rp community has been wonderful and i’m so thankful for the partners i’ve found here, so i just want to send out some love for you amazing creative people and my friends. ♡
@adstellar asked ; Helmet abandoned, their gaze met and he approached. Approached while his hands were raised. Gloved fingers on her cheeks. It was just the two of Them. Peace before the storm. He leaned in, foreheads touching. Thumbs brushed against her skin gently. Despite the gloves, he knew what it felt like. “Take care out there... I’ll watch your back”

TREASURE THIS MOMENT ; like it would be the FINEST JEWEL! your claws are used to holding them ... are they not, 𝐂𝐀𝐓? this moment something they STEAL FOR THEMSELVES - they way they caress each other hidden from all other curious gazes that sought to deny something so sweet ! ( BUT EVERYTHING WRONG FEELS MORE RIGHT ! ) sleek , black suit on - signature of look of 𝙱𝙰𝙳 𝙻𝚄𝙲𝙺 𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙾𝙳𝙸𝙴𝙳! yet , she kept the harsh , sharp steel claws to herself - her touch was tender for him. ❝ i know. ❞ THE CAT PURRS , sending those lush lips feel the vibration. ❝ good luck. ❞ ironic for someone with 𝐀 𝐑𝐄𝐏𝐔𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐇𝐄𝐑'𝐒 to wish ( bad luck, bad luck, bad luck! ) .... but for him, an exception was made! lips dressed in black sure to stain his skin - a lover’s mark kept hidden beneath his helmet.
a heads up: i’m putting this blog on semi hiatus until further notice. i’m currently on study leave to write my dissertation which is due at the end of next month. so basically i gotta crack on with that and keep my head in my work. i may touch my drafts as and if i feel like it, but it’s gonna be sparse activity from here. ily all <3 <3
Rouge as MORRIGAN AENSLAND ( Darkstalkers ) for Halloween --- who else? This drawing is my entry for Panda + Toxi's MOBIAN COSTUME CONTEST. Good luck to everyone participating!
rouge isn’t like a trained dancer or anything, but she gets her good sense of rhythm from her father, an amateur musician, and she’s always been into carnivals + nightlife from as soon as she was able to get her hands on a fake id lmao so she’s picked it up from her surroundings. her style is kinda like a mixture of samba + cha cha cha, but it’s a little more freestyle than that really. quick footwork, swaying hips, fluid + rhythmic arm movements. she’s used to dancing solo but she will dance w a partner - she’s just not so versed in that. she does know how to slow dance, but it’s not her strong suit and tbh she likes something more energetic
( i think....rouge IS happy w her work in the sense that she excels in her field. espionage isn't smth everyone can do ) #( and she's a pro ) #( BUT at the same time. being affiliated w a group kinda takes the spotlight off of her whereas when she was a crook )#( she was infamous in her own right. all the credit for a job well done was hers alone and she didn't need a group to back her up )#( AND she didn't have to follow anyone's orders or even pay any attention to the bs that is'''the law''' )#( in that sense despite the great achievements she's made under gun she's very frustrated. bc she IS trapped. )#( being a spy means she's had her whole past and identity redacted. on paper rouge's life began when she started working for the gov )#( everything else is reputation and heresay from the old days. and it's not even like she can rlly be in the public eye )#( bc she needs anonymity for her work. you like singing in clubs and wanna do smth with that skill? sorry...nah )#( honestly. knowing that her life isn't in her hands anymore compared to the independence and glamour and gore of her former career )#( it drives her a bit crazy. but she's just like -drinks gin from the bottle- what can u do lol )#( that's why she can be reckless and rude @ work. and why she still bends the rules where she can )#( any chance to give them the finger w/o being re-criminalised )#( also their treatment of shadow also embittered her towards them but that's Another post for Another time )
i love how Not Afraid she is of them from the start she literally puts herself in between them as theyre lashing out at each other and i think thats why they develop this instant loyalty to her leadership even if its just implicit shes not scared she immediately sees them both as potential allies rather than the destructive people theyre made out to be and its such an immediate solid foundation for partnership even if the rest is tense and hostile in this essay i will
u know i already jokingly replied to this but it’s Not Enough bc this is why i haaate seeing sonic media try to downplay rouge as team dark’s leader as time goes on. i think that the fact they all share a similar kind drive and pragmatism makes them work well as a team and that’s why they stuck w it even after the events of heroes, but like......if it wasn’t for her they wouldn’t have formed in the first place? and i’m not just talking in the very obvious way where she physically breaks them up. i feel like one of the things that rlly differentiates rouge from the other members is her experience and the fact that she knows how to deal with people. like i think she just handled the whole initial meeting meeting them w a certain emotional intelligence --- she’s assertive but not domineering w extending the olive branch and she knows to appeal to their practical/logical sides while still getting them to reconsider their own standing.... like.....THAT’s why she’s the leader bro!! that ability to diffuse the situation, to earn their respect just by respecting them and what’s making them so hostile in the first place, to confidently but not overbearingly steer them forward so they can successfully work together.... like shadow and omega had their goals but did they need that hint of direction and voice of wisdom who could anchor them to the world they had to fit into to reach them?? absolutely. so call shadow team dark leader one more time idw
