Good morning gang! ♡ I have a busy day ahead of me and I’m still spitting blood so I won’t be here much, but my plans for the weekend include sending out the asks for that inbox call, catching up with DMs (here and on Discord, finally) and a regular spring-clean of my follower list.

` * PERMANENT INTERACTION CALL.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
To keep this as short as I can — as someone with bad anxiety but a stronger want to start poking Mutuals more, I figured putting something like this out there helps a ton to know who is alright with me being a friendly pest. It’s meant to reassure me people are alright with me kicking their doors in with my muses.
Tumblr media
` * INTERACTING WITH THIS POST LETS ME KNOW YOU’RE OKAY WITH THE FOLLOWING …
Tumblr media
↳ You’re alright with me sending you *Askmemes as soon as I see they’ve been reblogged along with sending the occasional *Unprompted Ask or *Surprise Short Starter. Sometimes they’ll just be Bruce commenting on ongoing threads — think dash-commentary style. Others are just *IC / OOC Questions. Basically this just gives me permission to be a menace to your inbox without feeling guilty.
Tumblr media
↳ You’re alright with me replying to any *Open Starters I spot, even if we already have one or more threads ongoing. Just a heads up I will aim to keep these short since they’re usually spontaneous threads done for fun. If they happen to get longer? I’m here for it!
Tumblr media
↳ You’re alright with me tagging you in *Dashgames when I do come across them. Along with tag you in *Musings, Aesthetics &&. *Muse Song Posts if they remind me of your muse &&. our interactions.
Tumblr media
↳ Piggy backing off the last point, there are no promises made, but if it’s alright that I make the occasional *Edit through *Gifsets of your muse or our muses dynamic, *Aesthetic Edit Posts or *Web Weavings. Even the occasional *Drawing / Doodle. Chances are, if I’m inspired or invested enough &&. have the time to spare, I do enjoy doing these for close Mutuals!
Tumblr media
↳ You’re alright with me making *Headcanon Posts as our muses dynamics develop through ongoing interactions. This is a recent thing I’m trying to start doing more of, where I make headcanon *Directories for muses on my end to better keep track &&. document HC’s. I heavily value developing bonds between me &&. my writing partners muses so if it is alright with Mutuals that their muse is *mentioned in posts like this?
Please let me know in a comment or DMs! Usually I will ask permission to write these out beforehand.
Tumblr media
↳ You’re alright with me giving you my *Discord so we can talk more OOC to chat or to discuss ideas &&. our current threads / plot possible future ones. I struggle with this, but I would really love to discuss headcanons more when they crop up, along with just getting more used to screeching to partners about how much I loved recent replies. Just a warning is I am a little shy &&. my social battery can vary between extra outgoing to having no energy to respond back, so as long as that’s alright! I am making grabby hands!
Tumblr media
* Please note that interacting with this post also gives you permission to do any of these things right back. If you want me to do only some of these things but not others, please, feel free to comment in the notes or let me know in private.
Tumblr media
↳ Lastly, if you have yet to fill out my *Interest Tracker — I highly urge you to so I know how best to approach you in the future along with what dynamics you’re interested in pursuing! It’s not mandatory but it helps so so much.
The purpose of this post is simply meant to reassure that there is a shared interest in interacting more in the future, mainly for my own anxiety since I do struggle a lot with pushing myself to poke new folks without feeling like I’m being a bit of a bother. It’s usually why I rely heavily on starter calls &&. inbox calls so I have that known permission to toss my muses people’s way.

mains call! like this if you would like to be added to this blog's sites. I would really prefer it if we've had some ic interactions / ooc interactions as well. the only thing I ask is if you would consider me as a main as well. this is mutuals only!
so what does being a main mean though?
you get priority when it comes to drafts, ask box things and plots.
this also lets me know that you're comfortable with being tagged in random starters, sent memes, tagging in dynamic related things that remind me of our muses.
you get edits , etc. that's a given on this blog. I will most likely jump into your ims / disco and scream about our muses. toss you random plots / headcanons at you as well.

PSA: Consideration aka The Bare Minimum of RP.
This is what you should be doing no matter how you run your blog. No matter how fast or slow you are. No matter if you run a single muse blog, a multi, or a collection. No matter your mental or physical health.
This Is. The Bare Minimum. The Very Basic of Basic. That You Should Be Doing.
READ THE RULES! This is the most basic thing of all and people still don't do it. But the rules will tell you whether your blog is compatible with another and often contains VERY important information such as trigger warnings or canon divergent notes. And if you don't read them, it is glaringly obvious.
IF YOUR MUTUAL HAS AN INTEREST CHECKER, FILL IT IN! It takes five minutes or less, shows your mutuals you're truly interested in writing with them and leads the way to better interaction both IC and OOC.
FOLLOW THROUGH WITH STARTER / MEME / PLOTTING CALLS! Putting out multiple calls and never delivering, or only doing selective ones, is not fair. If you can't manage a high number, place a cap on how many you're accepting. Remember, you made the request, so be fair to those who made the first move to interact with you!
REACH OUT FOR INTERACTION! Nobody wants mutuals for decoration. You are not a house plant or a casual observer. The worst that can happen is they say no, in which case you're free to move on to other writing partners. Even just saying hi to a new mutual is a start.
IF YOU DON’T LIKE PLOTTING, SEND MEMES. IF YOU DO LIKE PLOTTING, SEND A MESSAGE! It’s that simple. Anxiety or shyness is not a valid excuse in 2023 to ignore your mutuals or refuse to make contact. RP is clearly not the hobby for you, because communication is key to building strong writing partnerships.
If you can’t manage these very simple things then you’re not being considerate to your mutuals. RP is a two way street, it takes teamwork, and a one sided game is NOT fun. RP is a hobby, yes, but your mutuals aren’t disposable entertainment and we need to stop treating eachother like this as we step into the New Year.

If your feel your blog is being “ignored” or getting zero interaction, you need to consider that you, the mun, may be the source of the issue. Deleting starter and plot calls because you only got 1 or 2 likes and not more? Bad. Those people who liked it are potential interactions that, by deleting & not responding to their reaching out, you have just burned on interaction. And on the same token—if someone liked either of those, FOLLOW THROUGH. People notice when you don’t follow through on starter or plot calls. They remember. Consider every time you do that that the person who liked that one is less likely to engage with you PERIOD. Every time you do that is a lost interaction that only you are at fault for. Don’t have just one meme, and DON’T close your inbox—and most of all, don’t say “not accepting” on your memes. If you don’t want any more of that meme, delete the meme. But don’t delete ALL of your memes. If you say “not accepting” or turn your inbox off, you’re closing yourself off to possible interactions. “Not accepting” gives the impression of “don’t interact/engage with me/send things to my inbox, and it’s not a good one. Limit your OOC. If you post more OOC than you do IC/meme reblogs/aesthetics and musings, that’s too much. A little is okay, but when the majority of your blog is it (and no, deleting it later doesn’t make it better; it still shows up on the dash, someone still sees it, and they see you’re posting more OOC than you are other things). If you need to talk about your muses, find headcanon prompts and write headcanons based on them, even if you never received a meme. Write drabbles. Make sure the focus is on your muses & their world, not what you had for breakfast. That, or make a personal blog, even if it’s just a sideblog for you to ramble on. And most of all: limit your negativity on the dash. If you’re constantly (and by constantly, I mean more then 1-2 times a month at most) posting negative commentary, complaints, and most especially vague-posting about how you don’t get interactions, you feel bad, you don’t feel confident in your muses, etc… you need to step back and remember: your mutuals are human too. Most of them have their own mental health issues to deal with, and not everyone talks about their mood on the dash, either. Someone might have something going on in the background; seeing you being negative may bring their mood down. Seeing vague-posting may make them anxious or uncomfortable or feel like you’re talking about them, even if you aren’t. Every time you post something negative, consider that you’ve possibly made someone else’s day worse.

𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓𝐒 𝐔𝐏 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐅𝐈𝐋𝐓𝐇𝐘 𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐑𝐒? Fandomless Demon Oc here, looking for some playmates to drag to hell! If you’re into gore, smut, occultism and good music - then you came to the right place. Please give this post a reblog and/or a like if you’re interested.
about | rules | verses 
Tumblr media
▾ rules below for mobile ▾
Yo, my name’s Styx (He/ Him / 21+) and I’m your average demon enjoyer. This is a rp-blog for my fandomless Incubus oc Caleb. Since the character is still being developed things will be subject to change so bear with me. Anyway, let’s get right into it. 
Tumblr media
First and foremost, this blog will be HIGHLY N.SFW! Seriously, most of the stuff on here will be either sexual nsfw or violent nsfw so DO NOT FOLLOW THIS BLOG IF YOU ARE TRIGGERED BY N.SFW CONTENT. By pressing the follow button, you agree to having this content on your dashboard and you alone are responsible for subjecting yourself to it. If this blog really doesn’t vibe with you, I beg you on my knees to just block me now. So I don’t accidentally follow you in the future. Trust me, I will try my best to stay away from people who dislike the content but I’m no mind reader. So help me out a little.
Tumblr media
𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞  I will mostly write here on the weekends, and therefore only have a certain amount of time to write - meaning I have to pick my threads wisely. It’s absolutely nothing personal, it’s just a time management thing. 
𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲. (𝟏𝟖+)   I only interact with people above the age of 18, preferably 21. No minors, period. If I see a minor following me, you will get hard blocked. Same goes for personals.  
𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐈 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰   I’m interested in roleplaying. If you’re not, that’s completely fine. I will unfollow after getting no follow back within 7 days. 
𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰  You post too much ooc / drama / stuff I don’t like / You don’t cut your posts or I’m just not into your muse.
𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐈 𝐰𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞  Rape, Pedophilia, Homophobia, racism, scat, ageplay, incest etc.
𝐟𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐦𝐬 𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐯𝐢𝐛𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 Undertale, MLP, MHA, JJ BA, Steven Universe.
𝐟𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐦𝐬 𝐈 𝐝𝐨 𝐯𝐢𝐛𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 Hazbin Hotel, Helluva Boss, Villainous, Invader Zim, Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, Monster Prom. (You don’t have to be part of these for rp I just really like them)
𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬   Reblog my asks / Use me as a meme source / like my starter calls as a non mutual / ignore my rules / steal my graphics / like my starter calls and then don’t reply / godmod / lie about your age
Get two strikes and you getsoftblocked, get three strikes and you get hard blocked.
𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐬 𝐔𝐩 I appreciate the gesture but don’t ‘warn’ me about muns I’m interacting with. I’m a grown ass adult, I don’t need to be protected or supervised. I’d rather make my own experiences, if I think someone is being a bag of dicks, chances are I will distance myself on my own terms.
𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐚    There will be no drama whatsoever on this blog.
𝐬𝐦𝐮𝐭 & 𝐠𝐨𝐫𝐞 This blog will have a lot of that, since these topics are highly intertwined into the character and his portrayal. So just be aware that my muse will be lewd. If you follow me, I will assume that you are fine with seeing smut and gore. Obviously there will be no sexual rp whatsoever if the muse is a minor. Smut in general is never a must. If you want to write it either here or over on dirscord, I'm down, but generally fade to black is always an option!
𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 & 𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬   Don’t care about it at all. I do some formatting and use icons sometimes. It’s cool if you don’t. Just don’t use giant images as icons. I also don’t interact with characters that use face claims of real people.
𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠    I will tag nsfw with  𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐰 | 🇨​🇦​🇱​🇪​🇧​🇷​🇴​🇳   whenever actual smut is happening on the dash. Aside from that I will only tag specific triggers when they get mentioned, with tw: ___ .  
𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝  Only available on request for rp and plotting. 
𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭  All the art on this blog has been commissioned and you’re not allowed to take it or use it.

hello friends. a few housekeeping notes. from now on, this blog is going to be almost completely plotted dynamics based. i could not care less about a follower count, and it does not bring me joy to have mutuals that can't so much as throw a like on a headcanon post saying they read it. or send a message saying hi / asking to plot. or like a starter call or send a meme or interact in some way.
i've also noticed an unfortunate trend where people post starters and meme replies and they get one reply or no replies and the writing partner can't even spare a like for that post? why are we even here if we're not interacting? that's kind of the point of rp. at least, that's why i'm here. i've talked to mutuals who feel the same way, and that was part of the reason i didn't log on here for like a month.
i always have the most muse for the people who i talk to ooc. i want to actually create and develop dynamics, not just post a bunch of little starters that go nowhere. i want to yell about our muses and share quotes and musing posts and keysmash about dynamics.
moving forward, i will be keeping track of the last time i wrote each muse, and the muses that i don't write will either be moved to my misc / request only muses or removed completely. that's more for my own personal benefit, but if you like a muse, write with them.
i wish this hobby could turn into a community again, but i am sosososo thankful for the friendships i have been lucky enough to make here. i have so much fun writing and plotting with those of you who have actually taken time to interact and become friends.

DEADLYKITEFIGHT ; EST : August 16th 2024
PROMO || MEMES || ASK
Independent ; Semi-Selective Renato Lyra of BHVR's Dead By Daylight.
mutuals mostly.
activity does depend on muse; Renato is not my only blog.
do not interact if you are a minor ; 21+ please.
There will be triggering themes on this blog, so please be mindful when following or interacting.
Discord: available upon request ||  IMs: always open, but i’m extremely spotty when answering || Wire: Coming soon
Do not tolerate OOC drama ; but IC drama is highly encouraged
graphics credit
Rules listed below readmore!!
Please be respectful, I will not tolerate OOC drama. I know this is already listed, but I just need to reiterate it. It is so important, and it really doesn't hurt to be kind.
21+ mun, is over 25, so please, please, please be mindful when following. I only feel comfortable writing with writers 18+, but I definitely prefer 21+ bc i am getting old.
Do not godmod, if you and I talk about things beforehand , and it was cleared, that is different. It should be commonsense, but you never know, so it is listed. DO NOT GODMOD
The activity on this blog will be spotty, as I have more muses out there.
I do not have many triggers, but please be respectful of others triggers. if I ever don't tag something correctly, and you need a trigger tagged, please let me know. I never want to accidentally offend someone. & sometimes triggers change, so please don't feel like you can't approach me & let me know that something needs to be tagged.
This blog is currently multiship, and one ship will not interfere with another, unless it is something that has been plotted. I ship based on chemistry. Nothing will be forced, and if you think I am trying to force something, please call me out. -- we are also super okay with not shipping. we love platonic relationships here.
I am okay with just jumping into writing, if you do not know how to approach me, send a meme, an ask, start a random starter.
& don't be shy, I am pretty laid back & would love to get to know you all. this is about writing and exploring, but ooc relationships are important too. not necessary or mandatory , but encouraged. <3

To RP with me, you should _______
Follow back
Answer an open
Message me OOC (i'm very very spotty and slow/negligent with ooc messages due to my bad eye health/short free time timeframes so it helps to skip small talk if you message me specifically through ims or discord!)
Message me IC (i try to at least get my inbox completely free and clean asap, so asks are always your best bet if u want the fastest response to something!)
Make a starter (as long as we're mutuals, random starters are completely ok! tag me in whatever whenever. )
Answer my starter
Send in a meme
Like a starter call (i don't usually reblog memes or make starter calls! i do try to like others' calls though and sometimes send in memes or random unprompted asks! i often respond IC-ly a lot to replies on my posts! if you reply to a reply i make on your post IC-ly, (or otherwise tbh) i will probably turn it into a proper interaction thread!)

I always read the rules/about before following/interacting
If you follow me, I would like my triggers tagged
I expect all smut to be beneath a read-more
I am multi-muse (i kind of am, kind of am not, but i don't reaaaally consider myself one due to the bizarre way dark and daisuke.... well. work. 'i don't get it' appearances and superficials aside they're genuinely the same character, have the same motivations, conflicts and inner feelings about themselves, bonding with one is bonding with the other, relationships or dynamics can potentially end up repeating if you treat them separately as a duo instead of a whole single unit, which is ehhh to me. if that makes sense!)
I do not wish for my OOC posts to be reblogged
I do not wish for my threads to be reblogged by those not involved
I expect post length effort to be matched
I expect icons/gifs to be used in a reply if I have used them
I don’t expect post length to be matched, but I will try to match your own.
I am patient when waiting for replies and expect the same courtesy. (you can also just drop stuff whenever forever! i dont mind at all. alternatively if there's something you want to see moved along, feel free to tell me you're dying to continue a certain thread/scenario and i'll push it to the top of my priorities✨)

hii! i found your blog by accident and i'm mesmerized. i used to play rp on twitter and i really wanted to start doing the same here but idk where to start. could you please give me some tips?
oh hey, thank you so much for reaching out! :D i'll admit i'm not as active on this blog as on others, but it makes me happy to have reached you nonetheless. <3
i'd be delighted to give you some tips to start out! it's definitely a process that feels a bit alien at first, but over time you get a feel for it. :>
i am soooo sorry in advance, this is going to be super long — you picked a wordy bitch to ask 😂 but i'll try to format this in a way that's easier to read!
take your time to go through stuff & no need to read or absorb it all right away. feel free to keep this post bookmarked to look back on whenever you need it as well.
💖 welcome to raine's stupidly-long guide to starting tumblr rp! 💖 qualification: i've had this blog for 11 years. fml disclaimer: still all just from my perspective, i'm just one gal with opinions hehe
start out by making a new blog for your character. (i wouldn't recommend starting out with a sideblog personally, since you can't send asks from them). choose a url that feels relevant. i'm always a fan of the ol "smush two words together that sound nice" technique — ie, my other blogs are huntershowl and icarusplunged — which never seems to fully go out of style. really you can do whatever feels right to you :)
the most important part of setting up an rp blog is creating a rules page and, if you're writing an OC, an about page. the rules set up your boundaries, your wants and don't wants, anything you want someone to know before they follow you. the about page should give new partners everything they need to know about your character — personality, appearance, setting/lore, any backstory you want to display publicly.
feel free to look around at different rpers' rules pages and use them as inspiration! as long as nothing is copypasted and everything is your own original content, which brings me to etiquette.
etiquette!
'tis largely an Unspoken Thing in the rpc (rp community), and breaching it can def make people feel uncomfortable (even though that's something that Should be in rules pages, most of us forget haha). here are the things i can think of off the top of my head:
the way to reach out to new people is simply to follow them. that's all you gotta do! if they don't follow back, don't push, just unfollow them after a few weeks and move on. it's almost never personal!
in that vein, if someone's blog is private/selective/mutuals-only, wait to interact until they follow back.
once they do, it's up to you how you want to move forward — usually i'll wait until they post some sort of interaction call for you to like. a starter call, a plotting call, orrrr if they reblog an ask meme (which is like a list of sentence prompts! you can choose one from the list and send it as an ask, which they can use as an rp starter.) you can also just IM them though :)
don't reblog non-rp content (ask memes, quotes/imagery, etc) directly from another rp blog, it clogs up their notifications! just reblog from the original post instead.
don't interact with other people's threads (liking or reblogging, but feel free to read them and talk about them ooc!), and only respond to a starter if it's labeled as open — otherwise it was probably written for another rper specifically.
try not to prod people too hard if they haven't responded in a while. some folks are okay with being reminded about a forgotten thread a few weeks after replies stall out.
always tag nsft (not safe for tumblr, the other acronym gets flagged/hidden) and very upsetting content — gore, SA or abuse mentions, etc. i've seen some people starting to use "dead dove do not eat" as a catch-all for super dark content, but honestly that phrase gives me the heebiest of jeebies so i prefer to go with individual tags
general platformless rp etiquette rules apply: don't steal other people's content, don't assume or control the other character's actions/thoughts/etc.
be kind to each other, most of all. communicate when you have a problem with someone, rather than making a vague/callout post about them. that being said, i'm a proponent of the block button — blocking people is okay! it's not a big deal. this is a hobby space and no one is entitled to you. advocate for yourself!!
okay that was a long section, whew! lil break. take a sip of water. have a snack mayhaps.
now: RP STRUCTURE (the fun part)
we don't really do "script" style rp on tumblr — it'll usually, if not always, be in prose/paragraph form. formatting is a fun touch, but not necessary. as you can see, i'm using small text here with some little chunks of text in bold/italic or regular size text to add some visual interest. again, not necessary! experiment, figure out what you like!
lots of people will use icons of different sizes — 100x100 is the most common, but they really do vary. i would suggest going smaller rather than bigger (like don't use full post-width gifs or icons, try to keep them under half the size of the post? that's the most common vibe at least.)
icons can be used to "illustrate" your character's expression among a bunch of text, if you want Visual Spice. but they are soooo not necessary! totally up to you.
here are some examples of my icon styling!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
there are lots of rp resources out here for cool coloring psd's and graphic templates for ya blog. create something fun and pretty that you like! <3
to reply to a thread, reblog it and add your post.
important: i highly recommend downloading and installing XKIT in your browser. it's an extension that lets you trim posts to the last two reblogs (common around here), customize your blog experience, and just makes it a lot easier to exist on tumblr haha.
ummmm i think that's it actually! you're finally free of my rambling. i really hope this helped!! please let me know if you have any questions, and gimme a follow when you start up a blog — i'd be happy to help you out however i can.

MAINS CALL! like this if you would like to be added to this blog’s sites. I would really prefer it if we’ve had some ic interactions / ooc interactions as well. the only thing I ask is if you would consider me as a main as well. this is mutuals only!
SO WHAT DOES BEING A MAIN MEAN THOUGH?
you get priority when it comes to drafts, ask box things and plots.
this also lets me know that you’re comfortable with being tagged in random starters, sent memes, tagging in dynamic related things that remind me of our muses.
you get edits , etc. that’s a given on this blog. I will most likely jump into your ims / disco and scream about our muses. toss you random plots / headcanons at you as well.

RP BLOG CONTENT GUIDELINES. bold all that apply to you and your blog. italics if you’re on the fence about something.
Tumblr media
MY BLOG IS: open to all - semi-selective - selective - moderately selective - highly selective - exclusive - only going to rp with mutuals - mostly going to rp with mutuals - indie - affiliated with a group - spoiler free - spoilers tagged - spoilers mostly tagged - not spoiler free
I WILL RP WITH: any fandom - most fandoms - only fandoms I know - only people in my fandom - ocs - ocs with no fandom ties - ocs who are related to/know my character in their backstory ( we MUST plot this first, due to past experiences of people assuming what kind of relationship our muses would have ) - only one version of any particular character ( because multiple dimensions / dimension hopping is canon to pepp's story, he has versions of characters that are from his home dimension ) - people who have the same muse as me - people who do not have a rules page - multimuse blogs - people in rp groups - indie rpers
I WILL SHIP WITH: no one - anyone - chemistry - select ship - ocs - others of my own muse - crossovers with characters from different fandoms - only one version of a particular character - one person in my main certain verses - multiship - one main / canon ship within my main verse ( in pepp's overarching blog plotline / his primary 'verse he is with creech. most interactions will be presumed to take place in this setting, unless specified otherwise ) - self-inserts
MY BLOG WILL CONTAIN: fluff - angst - gore ( within certain limits i ain't a big gore person tbh ) - violence - smut ( confined to an 18+ sideblog, adult muns / muses ONLY ) - blood - torture - shipping - death - dark humor - assault ( as in violence )
I WILL FOLLOW: everyone - only some people - most people - only people in my fandom - every rp blog - people i actively wish to rp with - people who do not post a lot of ooc - people whose posts i am comfortable with on my dashboard
TO RP WITH ME, YOU SHOULD: follow back - answer an open - message me ooc - message me ic - make a starter - answer my starter - send in a meme - like a starter call
OTHER: i practice reblog karma with memes - i expect reblog karma with memes - i expect my rules/about to be read - i always read the rules/about before following/interacting - if you follow me, i would like nsfw tagged - i expect all smut to be beneath a read-more ( AND have a mature rating ) - i am a multiverse blog - i am multi-muse ( sort of, muse + pizzano are their own characters ) - i do not wish for my ooc posts to be reblogged - i do not wish for my threads to be reblogged by those not involved - i expect post length to be matched - i expect icons/gifs to be used in a reply if i have used them - i don’t expect post length to be matched, but I will try to match yours - i am patient when waiting for replies and expect the same courtesy ( pls i am so fuckin' busy irl and i am very mentally ill i am doing my best here )

OTHER: now for the caveats indicated above -
I am exclusive in all verses, blog-wide, with one Rogue and that is @onlyarogue. If no rogue is mentioned or my remy has not met a rogue in our thread it's still noon's rogue, technically. i don't ship just with rogue but in my main verse it is end game.
but i have MULTIPLE versions of my "main" verse really so don't be shy, just note that i won't write against any other rogue.
I will write with dupes if we can make a fun plot of it, especially with one of my main ideas for my gambit is his crossing over onto 616 earth during the incursions, so i am happy to interact with 616 gambits!!
i will write lots of things but always with as much care and respect as i can, just as a note.
and if you message me ooc i can not guarantee i will keep up with the chat but i love u, tysm, i promise u can bug me whenever and i will reply on my own time. <3

independent private roleplay blog for utahime iori of jujutsu kaisen , heavily influenced by personal headcanons and Japanese mythology . & treated as an original character . ( 21 + , oc / crossover friendly ) . written by ford : she / they 24 y/o , cst . sporadic activity , not spoiler free ( please read rules before following . ) est. september 2023.
mains : @chikyodai , @sugurau , @moonsmourning , @killerhubby . @usagimen , @kuraokcmi
Tumblr media
𝟏. my portrayal of utahime doesn't align with canon, it's based heavily on my own ideas / headcanons as well as elements from japanese mythology . i treat her as an original character . if you dont like how i write her, please unfollow or don't interact.
𝟐. basic rp etiquette rules apply , mutuals only, minors will be blocked, be respectful. , problematic and toxic behaviors / mindsets will get you blocked . please don't interact with my posts if you're not a mutual oc - friendly . not duplicate friendly . unaffiliated with the jjk rpc. on top of following muses i can see utahime interacting with : i follow muns and muses im familiar with and i'm going to be selective, hence the private label on this blog. i curate my space accordingly and will softblock or hardblock if i feel the need. i like to operate in smaller circles so i won't be following everybody back !!
𝟑. im slow with replies, i'm a mother , work and have other hobbies , on top of that i'm manic depressive / bipolar and have general anxiety, all of which can affect my motivation and activity . if i'm not here i can be found on one of my other blogs ( @zefahai , @yookimi , @audiear , @dielogue )
𝟒. in general i'm a patient rp partner and can take a while to respond. please remind me if it's been a while since I’ve replied to a thread or ask . if you lose muse for a thread let me know, that way i'm not wondering if you've lost interest in me / writing with me . mains + friends are prioritized when it comes to answering asks, replying to threads, etc. please take the time to fill out my interest tracker. it'll help with navigating interactions and chances are i won't know where to start otherwise ..
𝟓. you can continue anything into a thread ! -- starter calls are rare. I’m ok with having multiple threads with you at once and encourage you to send multiple asks ! please like any starters or ask replies i write you, just so i know you see it ( tumblr notifs aren't reliable ) , I format heavily with special characters, double spaced , small colored text, if this gives you any issues lmk and I’ll accommodate ! icons aren't a must, and i often prefer to write without them.
𝟔. i prefer to talk on discord but will still use the tumblr IM system too. ( you can request my discord at any time if we are mutuals . ) i also write on discord in private servers if you'd like to write there too .
𝟕. multi exclusive ship ( i only ship with one portrayal of any specific muse and expect this in return ), I don’t autoship so any shipping requires development and chemistry both ic and ooc . —- the relationship HAS TO develop through our interactions . you can send me shippy memes but we aren’t shipping until it’s discussed ooc and i generally prefer to ship with muns i know well & talk to frequently ! ( i just think that this helps the process of timelines and development better, if you want to ship , reach out to me ! i promise i probably already ship it but i won't make a move to actively ship unless you outight say " i want to ship " because im oblivious. ) -- also , i am okay with duplicates only when the dynamic is different ( unrequited vs. requited. )
𝟖. i use a basic tagging system for triggering or nsfw posts. all nsfw is tagged #nsft or #nsft /, and #usfw , triggers are tagged #trigger or #trigger / , if i miss one please let me know ! I want this to be a safe space <3
𝟗. everything posted is made by me ! do not steal or lift any headcanons, concepts, or graphics i'm happy to help with photoshop or carrd and have a commissions blog if you're interested in that !
𝟏𝟎. the most important rule on this blog is to communicate with me ! [ . . . ] in my 10+ time on this site i've been involved in my own drama, and i gotta say : i'm too old for it. i don't participate in petty drama, vague blogging, clique behavior ,or any other unsavory behaviors as such, and i will not tolerate it ! i don't pay attention to call out posts unless there's undeniable proof / it's not from petty misunderstandings. if there's ever any problems please communicate with me ! if i'm ever interacting with somebody problematic please let me know so i can get rid of the bad apples ! ( given that I was involved in drama at one point : if you hear something about me please get my side of the story before ushering judgement , I’ll take responsibility for any toxic behaviors I’ve had in the past. )

Expecting mutuals to acknowledge your presence on their dash is not “taking RP too seriously”. I have mutuals that I haven’t written with in months because they have no muse or time to write, but they still pop up and like my posts occasionally or send me a message just to chat—and not always about RP or to plot, either. But when I see you—queued or otherwise, doesn’t matter, you’re still around at some point putting things into your queue—posting new starter calls, meme calls, reblogging memes, and adding new muses and you can’t spare so much as a like, a meme my direction that isn’t from me liking your meme call (doesn’t have to be IC, could be OOC), a comment on my post, or even just a single message, then yes—after waiting four+ months on a handful of responses from you, I AM going to take that as disinterest. I am not here to be another number (or a few, given I have multiple single-muse blogs) under your follows. I am not here to feel like I’m screaming into the void for your attention only to have the meme-sending and spontaneous interactions be entirely because I either liked YOUR post or I sent YOU the meme(s). And I am certainly not here to be constantly back-burnered by your 3-5 new muses a week you add over every new obsession you get. I hate the lack of reciprocation in the RPC some days. Abhor it. Absolutely detest it.
