#I am devoid of quick reblogs and tag groups

GUIDELINES

BEFORE INTERACTING

About the writer: Marianne, she/her, 28, EST. I’ll answer to Ani or Mari, as well. My time is limited and this is for fun!

This is a private and selective blog for GENYA SAFIN of Leigh Bardugo’s Grishaverse. This blog will feature triggering material, including plot-appropriate violence, sex, drug/alcohol use, discussion of abuse (Genya is a survivor), and other potentially triggering content. I will tag all common triggers, and anything I am asked to tag. Please take care if you follow!

Please tag cancer, sexual violence of any kind (including ‘dubious consent’ and somnophilia), and images of spiders.

ON INTERACTING & FOLLOWING

This blog is mutuals only. The only exception to this is for members of group verses. If I follow you, I want to write with you! OCs, multimuses, and crossovers are always, always welcome! Feel free to write greeters, send memes, turn memes into threads, and message me to plot! Please don’t write me unsolicited starters otherwise. I don’t require reblog karma, though I don’t like being used as a meme source if we never interact.

I reserve the right to not follow, unfollow, or block users as I see fit. I won’t follow back if you are under 18, or have no mention of your age / age range on your blog; all minors who do follow this blog will be softblocked. If I unfollow because your blog has been inactive for a while, please let me know when you come back! Don’t romanticize Nazis, don’t be an asshole about “dark themes” (which can be written well & respectfully!), and don’t guilt and manipulate your followers.

This blog is low-activity, low-pressure, and low-stress. I’m very comfortable to unfollow liberally to keep it that way.  If I unfollow or block, it’s simply because I don’t want to see something on my dash, and think it’s important to curate my own experiences; it’s not a statement against you in any way.

I won’t interact with any portrayals that engage in whitewashing, or ignoring canonically established races for characters.

I will not follow or interact with cisswapped characters written by cis writers. (I’m cis; it’s not my place to tell anyone who isn’t how to approach gender.)

I don’t enjoy writing with characters that are completely devoid of flaws, vulnerabilities, or weaknesses – it’s just not fun for me when there aren’t any real stakes, and the rules of whichever universe we’re playing in don’t apply to one of the characters involved.

I don’t experience duplicate (character or face claim) anxiety or insecurity and would love to bond over a character we both clearly adore. 

ON CANON & FANDOMS

Genya is based on a combination of show and book canon (including the short story “The Tailor”). For the moment, I’ll be using Sophie Turner as her primary FC — I love Daisy Head’s portrayal but unfortunately, she’s not in too many scenes overall, and I like icons, so there may be a combination of the two present here.

I tend to default to show-based ages (Alina and Mal in their early twenties, Genya and Zoya in their mid twenties, the Crows in their early-mid twenties); the Darkling’s and Mal’s expanded-upon characterization, the expanded political circumstances (such as General Zlatan and West Ravka’s interest in independence) and the blending of the Grishaverse and Six of Crows characters with the kidnapping plot. I tend to default to the book-based appearance of amplifiers, and book- and short story-based knowledge of context outside the show. I’m happy to discuss and find compromises with a partner who doesn’t like this blended canon! If you’d rather we shift in one direction or another, just drop me a message.

I don’t alter character names to match Russian naming customs; the Ravkan language is inspired by Russian, but isn’t Russian, and the changes that Leigh Bardugo made (such as not gendering surnames, or introducing Mongolian grammar) were very deliberate and very careful. On that note, please refrain from the antisemitic and misogynistic “criticisms” of Bardugo claiming that she half-assed her research, or is somehow unqualified to write on what she’s stated was inspired in part by her own family’s history in Russia. 

There are only a handful of fandoms I will not interact with, due to my own comfort. I may interact with the characters in AUs if I am comfortable with the writer. Find the list here.

ON RELATIONSHIPS

I love playing with established relationships of any nature. Come and plot with me if you want to jump right into a dynamic of any kind! I am always open to new ships — I love shipping, and it’s one of my favorite things about collaborative writing. You are always welcome to approach me to talk about ships; it’s not force-shipping in the slightest, and chances are, I’m already excited about it.

I won’t write incest ( relationships between second cousins, or closer ), and while I am very comfortable writing complicated relationships, I won’t romanticize abuse or toxicity, or write explicit abuse scenes.

If you’re interested in shipping, please take a quick look at this post.

ON CONTENT

Please understand that the source material I draw from deals with potentially triggering material, including (but not limited to) violence, sex, drug/alcohol use, and abuse. All of these topics will be dealt with on this blog with care and gravity, and will be appropriately tagged. Please take care of yourself! I’ll tag anything I’m asked to tag (formatted as #tw: [trigger]) and will never approach “dark” subject matter in a flip or disrespectful way.

I am a legal adult and am comfortable writing legal adults having consensual sex. I will not write smut with or about anyone under the age of eighteen. I am perfectly comfortable with and willing to write scenes fading to black or time jumps. I will not use visual aids of any kind in replies involving graphic sex and ask that you do the same. All NSFW images and text will be tagged as #nsfw;

My formatting is minimal – typically small text and 100x100 icons. English is weird, in spelling and grammar. I don’t super care if you get it right all the time. If I need clarification, I’ll ask!

The dash updates were great for me, as a person with limited visibility. I won’t follow anyone sacrificing accessibility for aesthetics, including with photoshop replies, impossible-to-see icons, and purple prose excessive to the point of being incomprehensible.

If you are uncomfortable with anything you see here, please let me know. I am not perfect and I am sure I’ll make mistakes; if that happens, and you’re comfortable, tell me, and I’ll make every effort to fix it and to be better in the future, in the case of me doing something harmful.

EXCLUSIVES & MAINS

If I am exclusive with a particular portrayal, please do not approach me to write with other versions of these characters on this blog.

Threads which ignore or disrespect my exclusivity will be dropped.

BEFORE INTERACTING

About the writer: Marianne, she/her, 28, EST. I’ll answer to Ani or Mari, as well. My time is limited and this is for fun!

This is a private and selective blog for ASTORIA GRIM. Astoria is an OC inspired by very early character information on Astoria Greengrass from Harry Potter; while she has a Harry Potter verse available, those verses are available only on request and with extensive plotting. In all other regards, besides her name, she is an original character. This blog will feature triggering material, including plot-appropriate violence, sex, drug/alcohol use, discussion of abuse (Astoria is a survivor), and other potentially triggering content. I will tag all common triggers, and anything I am asked to tag. Please take care if you follow!

Please tag cancer, sexual violence of any kind (including ‘dubious consent’ and somnophilia), and images of spiders.

I don’t have a lot of patience for public nastiness. Everyone vagues from time to time; that’s not a huge deal. But we’re all amateurs here and publicly disparaging another amateur’s work — which has been presented to you without layers of editing by various professionals — doesn’t make you interesting, it makes you kind of insufferable. I’m too old for pettiness and popularity contests and honestly, so is everyone engaging in them. 

This blog is low-activity, low-pressure, and low-stress. I’m very comfortable to unfollow liberally to keep it that way.  If I unfollow or block, it’s simply because I don’t want to see something on my dash, and think it’s important to curate my own experiences; it’s not a statement against you in any way.

ON CANON & FANDOMS

I have no affiliation with Harry Potter and I don’t want any. Astoria is inspired by the handful of extracanonical notes to the original series, most of which seem to have been ignored within canon. My Astoria has no basis in The Cursed Child, and is, at this point, very much an original character who was inspired by, and has evolved beyond, the original series. Here’s a better place for your money than anything JKR is putting out. 

My emphasis on this blog is Astoria in crossovers and AUs, primarily in a “modern witch” or “modern crime” verse. For fandom crossovers, I prefer to put her in the Grishaverse. Any verses with significant canon divergence, or significant canon intervention, will have extended biographies available to read.

There are only a handful of fandoms I will not interact with, due to my own comfort. I may interact with the characters in AUs if I am comfortable with the writer. Find the list here.

I won’t write incest ( relationships between second cousins, or closer ), and while I am very comfortable writing complicated relationships, I won’t romanticize abuse or toxicity, or write explicit abuse scenes.

Astoria has various default ships across her verses; this doesn’t mean that I don’t want to ship !! Just that if we aren’t planning a ship, I may reference her default.

If you’re interested in shipping, please take a quick look at this post.
