Replies & Activity

Roleplay is a cherished hobby for me, and I want to keep it lighthearted and fun. I manage this blog with smaller threads and a lot of memes -- memes are the best way to interact with me and get things started -- and I aim to reply about once a week via a queue. I don’t expect everyone to match my pace; a bit of consistency helps keep our stories flowing more easily for me as someone with ADD-PI, but life gets busy, and we all have different paces, so please don't stress about replies to our interactions taking longer. Having some semi consistent ooc communication is extremely helpful for me as well, if you're comfortable with that. I enjoy chatting ooc about our muses and hearing that you’re enjoying the interactions as much as I am. We don’t need to become best friends or share personal details; I happen to thrive when there is a good ooc connection between us, and it helps form a strong bond between our characters, which is also important to me.

Addendum

I am not comfortable interacting with portrayals of muses that focus on excessive violence and gore. Especially when it's ooc for that character to behave that way.

Addendums

I'm a very main partner kind of roleplayer. It enriches my writing experiences and helps develop my muse a lot more in-depth. So when Zuko refers to another atla character he's referring to my main partner for them. If he's talking about Mai, that's @bloodofthefates. Katara? That's @droplct, Aang? That's @nationbended. Iroh? That's @paishodragon. You get the idea. I just wanted to give some clarity that these characters aren't npc's to me.

i rise from the ashes!

THAT'S RIGHT BABY!!! IT'S SEASON TWO!!!

dunk YOUR favorite obscure milf into THIS FORM and she shall (most likely) compete!

the form shall close on february 23rd, and barring any circumstances, polls will begin on february 26th. below the cut, i will answer some questions that i anticipate to be frequently asked! (and tag a blog or two)

What counts as "obscure?"

i have a pretty simple system for this. i rate it by "do i think the average tumblr user has heard of it," and "do i think the average mom has heard of it" (mom stands for middle-aged offline m-person. i tried.) if the answer to both is no, she gets in! if the answer to both is yes, she doesn't!

if the answer to the tumblr question is yes, she will most likely be disqualified. however, if the answer to the mom question is yes, i'll still consider her.

Is there a limit on contestants?

nope!

What's your policy on contestants from last season?

if they lost in round 1, they're automatically re-entered. if they lost in round 2, they need a submission to be entered again. however, if they reached round 3 (linked for your convenience) they are disqualified.

Who the hell is that in your icon?

the mother of ants from cultist simulator, aka the character that inspired me to make this blog. i will probably change it in the coming days.

Shipping Exclusivity

I write Aang as a singleship muse to maintain consistent character dynamics and deepen connections through focused storytelling with @droplct. This is the only romantic connection I will pursue. This isn’t personal or driven by anxiety, I created this account specifically for Taea's Katara, and I cherish the bond we have, and that connection is not something I can replicate with another version of the same character.

Addendum: Zelink

While I love Zelink in concept, it doesn't play out so well in character. I've written Link for several years in the Hero of Time timeline, and though he loves Zelda, it's always a platonic, older brother kind of love. As a knight sworn to protect her, it would be crossing boundaries and that's not something he's ok with. In the Hero of the Wilds timeline I'm a bit more open to it as a teenage crush to start, and if there is good chemistry organically (I don't like pushing ships because of fanon ideas of the characters), then I'm willing to talk about it more in depth.

THE BRACKET!!!

with a total of 192 contestants, here it is! a text list of all contestants can be found here, though not in the order theyll be pitted against. (matchups were randomly generated, save for dilves from the same source and a handful i thought were funny) round 1 began july 27th! if you have any extra propaganda youd like to submit, please do so via asks, mentionss, or a CLEARLY INDICATED reblog. if you do not specify you want it used as propaganda i will not reblog it.

Addendums: Shipping Exclusivity

I practice shipping exclusivity to maintain consistent character dynamics and deepen connections through focused storytelling. If I have established a ship, I’m not able to replicate that connection with other versions of the same character. This isn’t personal or driven by anxiety; it’s just how my mind works creatively. Once my muse is attached, that is the only version of that muse he wants romantically. That said, this isn’t something I expect my partners to reciprocate; they are free to ship with duplicates if that’s something they want to do.

Established Ships:

Canons Maiko with @bloodofthefates (main canon verse) Zutara with @droplct (secondary main verse) Jinko with @jintletealeaf Zuko x Yue with @fableoftime Zuko x Suki with @crownshattered

Crossovers Zuko x Zelda with @hyliaburdened Zuko x Aurora with @bornofthedawn

[mugentakeda]

in my opinion the best "zuko joins the gaang early" fics are the ones that take place in book 1. the comedic potential is unparalleled

+003: Desert Strike EP

Addendums, Archives and Appendecies is extra, off topic writing in addition to the regular CANON FIRE entries. You can support more writing like this on Patreon.

Based on Electronic Arts’ game of the same name, Fatima Al-Qadiri’s Desert Strike EP is a “soundtrack to a virtual war”, based on her experience playing the game in her childhood home in Kuwait. But while she and her sister retreated to the virtual war, the effects of a very real war were being felt right outside her door. The Gulf War had concluded just a year earlier, and the effects of the occupation still reverberated through the country.

Based on the conflict in the Gulf, Desert Strike saw you piloting a helicopter taking down various targets under the control of a caricature of Saddam Hussein. Operation Desert Shield began shortly after development of Desert Strike began, with its development concluding shortly after the end of Gulf War. Its proximity to real war brought it a morbid sense of reality. 

For Al-Qadiri, playing Desert Strike with her sister was a way to wrestle back control of a situation that a child couldn't comprehend. A way to apply rules and order to a daily life whose routine was dissolved. 

That distant, unreal atmosphere pervades her EP. The synth backed melodies sound far away, hard to focus on through the violence of the percussion. Kick drums reverberate as if through a deserted theater, while snares mix amongst sounds of gunshots, exchanged magazines and clattering bullet casings. Mournful choirs gently fill the space, speaking for the ghosts left behind. 

Desert Strike conjures images of sub-bassments, rumbling with the sonic debris, digitally crushed gunshots mixed with real ones. It's a march through sunlight that no longer seems to brighten the day. The sound of a ticking clock that no longer tells time, not because it's malfunctioned, but because time has lost meaning to all its observers. 

At some point during the album, I always find myself drifting off, the melodies fading to the background, tracks bleeding into each other. The percussion becomes indistinguishable from the gunfire. Was that a snare drum, or a gunshot? Each cracks through my mind the same way. 

---

In an interview with The New Inquiry, Al-Qadiri mentioned she can no longer play videogames. “Every time I attempt it, I am overcome with depression. Immediate depression. Whenever I try, my skin starts to crawl, I just put it down immediately.”

It made me think about my own relationship with games. I was born at the end of the Gulf War, in Saudi Arabia, and shortly after moved to Chicago, where I'd spend most of my life. I grew up watching the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq from a distance, and hearing about the Egyptian revolution through phone calls from my father's family. I grew up experiencing war through a screen. 

The Gulf War is said to be “the first war fought through television”, with channels like CNN making their money and reputation through its coverage. It only became more true for future conflicts, as I watched the media write and rewrite events in the Middle East, twisting them into propaganda. I watched videogames tell bigger lies in higher fidelity. I spent my teenage years pointing a digital gun at people who looked like me. 

I never played Desert Strike. But I did play one of its sequels, Jungle Strike. I have vivid memories of its first level, a siege on a Washington DC that's been overrun by terrorists. Another terrifying image that was fed into the imaginations of Americans in the coming decade.

Maybe that's why Al-Qadiri's second album, Brute, resonated so much stronger with me. It's of a piece with Desert Strike--urban chaos, gunshots and distant, rumbling synths--but made of snapshots of police violence and protests. Images familiar to me here in Chicago. The heart of the "enhanced interrogation" techniques exported worldwide. A city I've seen trap protestors by raising the bridges to cut them off, shutting down train lines and raising walls of armored cops to close ranks on them. I've seen the rhetoric that justified US wars return to assure us this is the only way to keep us safe.

That distance--the gap of a few years that kept me from experiencing the Gulf War firsthand, those miles that kept me out of a Middle East toyed with by US intervention--it feels a lot smaller these days.

I keep playing war. I keep picking up the gun. But sometimes the toy looks too much like the weapon, and I find myself hesitating. 

Desert Strike EP and Brute can be listened to and purchased on Bandcamp:

9-1-1 is the show of missed opportunities man. why have hen and eddie never talked about getting shot. why have ravi and buck never talked about childhood cancer. why have chimney and buck never talked about being the the unfavored son. or about literally being dead. why did eddie and henren never talk about having your kid taken away. why have buck and hen never talked about coming out. why have maddie and eddie never talked about running. WHY ARE THERE SO MANY GOOD PARALLELS THAT NEVER GET TAPPED!!!

[miraculouslbcnreactions]

Sentimonsters are beings made from a single emotion and Adrien's emotion is heavily implied to be love. Sentimonsters can also have any random power the writers decide to give them and have been established to sometimes get powers their creators didn't intend (see Feast). That is the ultimate setup to use the power of love to empower Adrien and yet the show gives us nothing.
