MOST ACTIVE MUSE(S)?

// Meddles here is technically my most active, but I'm doing stuff behind the scenes for my lads Brom ( @of-forossa ), and Samuel Whist ( @fishermcn ) so I'll add them here too lmao.

RP PET PEEVES?

// Ah hell man, probably a lack of progression when it comes to replies? When I'm writing a thread with someone, I do what I can to make sure they have enough from my own to continue the story we're telling together. So getting a reply in return that doesn't move things forward puts me in kind of a bind y'know? Matching or similar length comes with that as well, though I don't expect folks to match me word for word so much as giving as good as they've gotten!

Communication is also key! I know that it can be uncomfortable or a bit daunting to try to chat with folks you haven't gotten to know all that well, but with threads being something we create together we really should be on the same page. Even just a little update or the like is preferable to total radio silence rofl.

EXPERIENCE / HOW MANY YEARS?

// Shoot, it's probably been about twelve, maybe thirteen years now? Been on here the whole time and have bounced around to a few different fandoms before more or less settling down into the soulsborne community.

FLUFF, ANGST, OR SMUT?

// I'm definitely an angst kinda guy, though usually in the sense that things are going down or conflict is brewing rather than interpersonal drama. I live for fight-writing and the tension that comes with lives being on the line. Fluff is usually reserved for one and done replies rather than threads because I feel it's more impactful thst way, while smut is... well. I'm getting better at it, but it's definitely my weakest writing of the bunch. That, and I admittedly can get a bit nervous posting it out here in the wild for everyone to see (////-\\\\)

PLOTS OR MEMES?

// Both! Plots and plotting are my preferred go-to for our muses to get to know each other and establish what their relationship will be like going ahead, while with memes I'll usually go ham on a single reply with the intent of further fleshing out what we've pieced together for our muses.

LONG OR SHORT REPLIES?

// If you've known me on my other blogs you already know I tend to get long winded XD. Short replies never feel like I've said enough honestly, and by taking the time to get in depth with them I reckon it opens the door wider for potential interactions (memes) or it gives the other person more room to reply with (threads). Least amount I'll do is around two to three paragraphs.

TIME TO WRITE?

// I'd love to tell you folks that I'm a responsible, orderly guy who keeps a good sleep schedule and has a set time for writing. Unfortunately I'm little more than an animal who's as likely to bump out an ask or reply at 4:00 in the morning as I am to post something mid-afternoon. Ideally though... I prefer the evenings for it. More privacy, more time to gather my thoughts and less demands for me personally to have to address.

ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S)?

// I'm a firm believer in the notion that muns typically have something either in common with or identify strongly with their muses in some form or another, and I'm no exception. Meddles might be a conqueror, cruel and malicious, but struggling against a seemingly impossible task and not wanting to be alone in this world... yeah. Yeah, I can relate to that. It helps me put myself in their shoes and understand them better if there's something about them I identify with.

A little confuses at the moment... Pretty sure I just got blocked by a roleplay blog that wasn't happy about the new COTL art.

I made a joke about how the devs can sometimes wreck headcanons and art blogs kinda have to cope any way they can, but I made sure to note that even though the devs make content about Narilamb, it isn't the "official couple"; you don't have to like it! That'd defeat the whole point of marrying who you want!

I mistook their argument that Narilamb wasn't possible in "their world" as a debate over why some people like it at all, to which I tried to give some reasons as to why, as well as an explanation about COTL's references to various things in mythology since they claimed Christianity wasn't present at all and the art made no sense.

I then realized it was a roleplay blog, apologizing for trying to explain dev stuff/themes and misunderstanding the post. They responded in character, to which I decided to play along (to lighten the mood) and ask if I was going to be sacrificed for speaking such heresy, to which they replied that sacrifices were honorable and that they could just murder me. I then said I'd stay awake so that they couldn't murder me without losing faith.

Then they blocked me.

I'm not sure if they blocked me because I crossed a line/was too rude, to continue being in character, or if they were just mad I was ruining their RP or something.

Not really looking to get anything out of this, just thought it was an interesting experience. I won't mention who it is by name and if they do end up reading this, I'm sorry if I seriously upset you.

[despairforme]

congratulations on the 9 years with the spoon! any tips on sticking to writing the same character for so long without the fandom ruining them? genuinely curious!

[ ;O;//// Thank you so much anon! I'm super happy about having written him for 9 years. Thinking about all the time I've dedicated to my hobby, all the hours I've given him... Makes me happy. I'm living my best life!

I'd be happy to share some tips about sticking to a character. At least I can share what has worked for me. I can 5/5 recommend having such a long journey with a character. It's a commitment you won't regret! I'm not really sure what you mean by "the fandom ruining them", but I'll give my take anyway xD -

Picking a character that inspires you. I think this is the most important thing. I started writing Nnoitra initially because I enjoyed drawing him. He gave me a ton of inspiration for drawing, and I figured it might be the same for writing, and I was right. I'm always, ALWAYS inspired to write Nnoitra, because he is the source of my inspiration.

Writing them how YOU want, not how others want. Staying secure and confident in your portrayal is underrated. I've stayed away from discussing my portrayal (it's in my rules that I prefer not to discuss how I write him). Don't let people tell you how you should portray your muse. If they don't like the way you write them, they can give writing them a go themselves. If you disagree with popular fanon ect, then go your own way. Your muse is yours.

About mirrors / duplicates. How people deal with mirrors/duplicates of the same muse really depends on the person, I think. In my early days of writing Nnoitra, I used to block/blacklist all other Nnoitra writers, because I didn't want to see their take on Nnoitra. I was "possessive" of him, if that makes sense. Now, I'm happy to see different versions of him, and I enjoy writing with my duplicates. Seeing other people love him is wholesome to me! I wish I'd interacted with my duplicates a lot sooner, and chatted with them. Talking to duplicates and befriending them has made me more confident and comfortable, so I would personally recommend that approach.

Building friendships, navigating the community. Interacting with lots of different people, both new and old people in the fandom is important in order to get enough interactions and connections. It's pretty difficult to write a muse for many years if you don't build any rp-connections. Also, having long-term friendships with your partners is amazing. There are people on here I've known for 10 years now! It's wild! Staying AWAY from drama is also incredibly important. You don't want any negativity to be attached to your blog. You don't want to feel anxious when logging on. Don't engage with any drama. Don't comment on it, don't give your opinion, don't discuss it with anyone. You never know when someone might take something out-of-context, or how "big" even small drama can grow. If drama is going on in the fandom, I'd recommend just blacklisting it, or going offline until it dies down. If you're keeping your blog for a long time, remember that people can go back and find things you've written ages ago. Maybe that one friend you stuck up for 2 years ago really does turn out to be a scam-artist or a predator. Don't underestimate how petty people can be. They can go back and find your posts about supporting this person and bam, you're added to a do-not-interact list. Even if all you did was support your friend at the time. If you get anon hate in your inbox, block and delete the ask. You don't need that negativity on your long-term blog. IDK I like to think of my blog as a garden that I'm cultivating?? I generally keep only positive, nice things on it. Things that I can go back and look at with approval and happiness.

Branching out of the fandom. This is probably (imo) the most important thing. I don't think I would've been able to write for 9 years if I hadn't branched out of the fandom. Not because the fandom is bad. Not because it doesn't inspire me, but because the amount of plots really is limited. Having to work within the boundaries of the fandom, and with a limited amount of characters isn't sustainable for 9 years. I love canon interactions, but I can't base my whole writing on that. It's too repetitive, which brings me to my next tip -

Give yourself the plots you crave. Getting "bored" of a muse can happen if you find yourself more interested in something else. Watched a new fantasy-anime? Maybe you're really into this one pirate show. Maybe you're interested in a specific time in history. MAKE THAT AU!! I cannot recommend AUs enough!! If you want to write a pirate muse, instead of making a new muse, just make an AU for your current muse. I have over 30 AUs for Nnoitra at this point, most of them inspired from either shows I've watched or specific interests I have ( like my formula 1!au, since I'm a huge f1 fan ). Don't be afraid to reach out to people who might be interested in writing the AUs with you. Don't be afraid to write drabbles for the AUs.

A continuous story. Another tip I can give for keeping things interesting, is to have a "story" for your muse that you continue through the years. Like my Nnoitra's main verse. Everything that happens to him in that verse progresses the story. The muses he interacts with become characters in his story. I get to see him develop and have ups and downs. It's like watching your favorite show with your favorite character, and there is always a new season. 5/5.

Hope this helps! This is just some things I could think of on the top of my head. And, this is just from my personal experience! ]

To the anon who responded to my speedrunning friends story:

"The fact that those very normal milestones made you uncomfortable sounds like a red flag about the other person and the dynamic of the friendship, not about the speed at which the friendship was progressing."

Oh I agree. My point was less that a friendship progressing fast is inherently worrisome, and more that if it's progressing fast, you should evaluate whether you're actually okay with the speed and this person and this case. It's easy to get caught up in the giddy feeling of really clicking with someone and ignore the ways you're letting them get overly familiar because you don't want to hurt their feelings by challenging them. (In this case, the discomfort was less over them wanting to send me something, and more on the sheer capslocked excitement that made it hard to say no, the fact that they asked me twice but didn't pick up on my reluctance the first time I failed to answer and only got MORE excited and capslocky the second time, and the fact that the "postcard" was actually a big envelope containing a postcard, a letter and a keychain, which they ended up paying over THIRTY BUCKS to send, and it all felt a bit lovebomby. But once again, I'm not blaming them for my bad communication. As I said in my original anon, this was a clear fuck-up on my end. I should have just said "No thanks, I'm good". The problem was that it literally felt like kicking a puppy at the time.)

Nor do I think age gap friendships inherently lend themselves to being overly parental, though with this person it absolutely felt like they were expecting me to be their parent or therapist or both. They hadn't moved out of home yet, had a strained relationship with their own parents, and it absolutely felt like they were pushing me to fulfill that need for them.

Also, I had to double-check, but the age difference was actually over 10 years - when we stopped talking, they'd just turned 17, and I would soon turn 29, and at that point we'd been friends about a year and a half. I was a bit taken aback when I found out how young they were (a couple of months into talking) because of how knowledgeable and skilled they were at so many things from art skills to political theory to various random niche things they've picked up like cryptography and lockpicking. So I mentally adjusted my attitude from "this is a peer" to "this is literally a fifteen-year-old, bear in mind what you say to them and how you say it" but I feel like I pivoted too hard into... what, babying them? Spoiling them? Overcompensating for our gap in age and life experience by feeling like it was primarily on me to manage disagreements or relationship dysfunction? I don't even know, but I still wonder how I could have resolved that better short of just not getting "talk every day"-levels of close to them to begin with. Which might have been better. Certainly for my mental health - their ever-increasing, insatiable demands on my time and attention came at a time when I was already struggling with heavy IRL demands and barely holding on as it was.

Oh, also. I had a barely-active RP blog of a character from our fandom. They made several RP blogs for the fandom, including one for that character's canonical love interest, and kept replying to my RP posts in shippy ways. On the one hand, I'm extremely glad I had the sense to not engage with that. (I'd only briefly resurrected that RP blog to begin with and dealing with this made me abandon that RP blog for good.) On the other hand, I'm once again kicking myself for not having a clear and solid "Hey, so you know we can't do a shippy RP, right?" conversation with them. Especially since months later they were guilt-tripping me with "I'm sad that you don't RP anymore :( " shit as part of their "venting".

Just, argh. I really didn't want to say anything to them that would assert my boundaries or challenge them until things boiled to a point where they couldn't continue, huh? It's so surreal to have been manipulated like that by someone TWELVE YEARS younger than me, and even now it feels vaguely scummy for me to accuse them of manipulation or hold them accountable, but this attitude is also exactly how I let things get so bad in the first place. The mentality of "I'm the adult (by quite a wide margin) so anything that goes wrong is on me" is extremely hard to shake, and I let it lead me into "they're a child so they can do no wrong"-style infantilizing. At the same time, I unquestionably helped this along by failing to say no clearly when I needed to. What's weird about it to me is that this has never happened to me before. If anything, I'm a pretty blunt person who prefers giving and receiving direct communication. I already had a very good idea of what different kinds of manipulation look like, from bitter experience. And later in the friendship, after things started spiraling into dysfunction and while trying to salvage it, I started being a lot more clear about things they said or did that I wasn't okay with. But by that point it was too late to put things back on track.

Sorry for the wall of text, this got longer than I meant it to and I'm sure the peanut gallery will have a field day with this pathetic attempt to summarize a year and a half's worth of dysfunctional friendship into a few salient paragraphs. I don't think I'll even dare looking at the notes on this one, because I feel like people will just tell me it's my fault and it's scummy of me to accuse a teenager of being manipulative when I was the one failing to set clear boundaries until it was too late. It took me two years to get over the sheer repressed and belated RAGE from the emotional abuse and how long I let it go on insufficiently challenged, I already spent too long feeling like this was all my fault. But maybe someone else will find this insightful or helpful.

And it was, 100%, emotional abuse by the end. I haven't gone much into it much because frankly even typing it up brings out that rage in me again, but picture your typical clingy-insecure abuser who accuses you of not caring about them because you were DMing in parallel with them and with someone else. Picture someone so afraid of change, and so entitled to a certain static version of you that lives in their head, that they will use words like "mourn" to describe their reaction to you making slightly less fanart for your shared interest than usual, or when you start engaging with your fandom more through streaming than through fanart. Picture someone who, when you ask them how their day went, responds with "Are you pretending to care?" Picture someone who, when told "You can't control your emotions but you can control how you act on them", responds with "I LITERALLY CAN'T", and fill in the blanks. And some hard-won advice: If someone responds to you that way, don't try to parent them, don't reassure them that you don't hate them, don't send them helpful links. Set. A goddamn. Boundary. And make it clear that you cannot and will not be friends with someone who claims not to be able to manage how they act on their emotions.

i'd be interested to see if that person had any interactions with native folks on here because like, i feel like it would be obvious to any ndn that they were totally making shit up. from what i saw with scrolling through their blog they mainly catered to white people and also white people who were trying very hard to find someway they could join a tribe and become native. also i do deeply regret scrolling through their blog because like, i saw some posts where they were talking about their family being forcibly steralized and seeing someone who isn't native talk about and try to like rp as someone affected by that made me feel sick and furious. ugh.

@oginalii mentioned that when scrolling through their blog, it seemed that this person ONLY interacted with disconnected Natives and other White people, so this makes sense. But same, if they actually interacted with other ndns at some point, I'm interested in hearing in how it went bc I wonder if this wasn't even the first time someone caught their bullshit lol

It's also just so gross because they used this alleged "Native identity" to make a few posts about racism and Native issues like. You're a pretendian, you're not even Native. And even if they WERE a reconnecting Native (which, based on what I saw in a few posts, it kinda looked like they implied this because they talked about not wanting to be Catholic), your first thing to do should not be to start talking on Native issues as if you've lived your whole life as a connected Native person who's had that experience. Your first step is educating YOURSELF, not White people. But again, they're a pretendian, and that's what these pretendians do, they often like to use their fake Native identity to either get money from it somehow or to try have a voice they have no business with. Their behavior was just sooo predictable

🧫 aaaand 🩹

send an emoji and i'll tell you my opinion on...

🧫 IC / "IRL" blogs

NOTE: misunderstood this part too lazy to edit rn

I think if you asked me before I'd be sympathetic and say that generally any non-RP account is unfamiliar with the processes of roleplay communities (considering some accounts forego rules and clear-cut separation of In-Character/Out-Of-Character. Some personal accounts may even just try to RP from an account that outwardly doesn't even resemble an RP account. Whatever works for people + social cues and reading the room expertise is kind of difficult to guarantee on a wide-spanning platform like this, I hope that makes sense.

But also I tend to get frustrated in regards to myself and my friends who do have visible rules pages and structure that can for the most part, be accessed. And with how social media prioritizes consumption to the point of disregarding the person who makes something and what they're trying to do with it.

🩹 reblog karma

I try to remember to send at least one thing in, even though now I reblog from source (barring being unable to access the original post because the blog deactivated or something like that).

Though even reblogging from source I tend to get frustrated, specifically with a few folks who in the past would grab the same memes, sometimes even writing in similar details to things I've included in threads and then there's just zero OOC small talk or plotting, not even a shorter IC interaction, and when I'm feeling particularly low my paranoia kicks in there.

Wait a second! I knew I've seen you around! Crys!

Also, holy heck in a handbasket. Why are you also not an EBG participant? I've seen you on a couple blogs, notably, Meirin's and Dresvi's, and I really enjoy your shenanigans.

I like how you take things in unexpected directions. I thought the whole idea of bringing the Adepti in as players in Meirin's blog was such an amazing choice. You have a lot of talent in writing different sorts of characters, and I like it a lot.

I also like how you can find a way into blog arcs. With the way you write, you're flexible enough to push the writers on the other end just enough to get them to open up into the lore they have. I remember you pushing Elzer in Dresvi's blog just enough to drop little tidbits about the general lore and the fire situation that's apparently going on in there.

Also, do not get me started on how entertaining it is to watch you start up shenanigans in Meirin's tea house. It's so much fun to read your shenanigans.

I never know what I'm gonna get when I see you as an asker, and that makes it fun.

Like with Risu, I hope that you do end up being an EBG participant. I'm honestly amazed by how much mastery you have for different character voices. But even if you don't, it's been fun watching you cause a lot of fun shenanigans. I hope you continue to cause all the chaos.

There's only one day left, so I look forward to seeing what other shenanigans you get up to.

✌️

sfcvgsahvcajshcbsakn AYOOOOOOOOOO WHAT I'M HONORED PLS???

ANON WHO ARE YOU LET ME HUG YOU RN THANK YOUUUUU Again I did briefly consider it but I was just coming back from a trip for vacations, starting back work again, had other stuff going on stressing me also I genuinely don't think I have the brainpower to make a plotted EBG lmao

Also I feel like idk for something like this I'd like to establish some more lore about my OC/avatar? hehe. A lot of wonderful friends (most notably @meimeimeirin @floraldresvi @moraxsthrone and @localplaguenurse) have been really inspiring me to write more and kinda... open up more? feel more comfortable with myself in my blog? bc I always had this idea of being kinda "anon" and be a little removed from my own posts and writing, but they've given me courage to be myself and have fun and do what I want and that includes selfshipping which I never really... did much? But it's so much fun! It's so fun to RP, to share silly little headcanons and ideas, to express your love and happiness for characters, and share that supporting others too and making them happy! Anyway wow I got sappy. Point is, I do hope to kind of... introduce myself/my OC and be a little more "me" about my bias if that makes sense? because that is what the ebg is all about (I think?) that funny and weird "hey this person who loves X character is now forced to get out of their comfort zone and simp for Z instead lmao"

pls I had forgotten how much fun RPing could be I feel like I haven't done so in yeeeears and I still think I'm rusty scvgasjbvcjhak but I used to love it and I do love to write

EBG has been so much fun! Even as a spectator, and I sure hope to participate someday but pls literally all of this was so sweet schajbckas I am not worthy of that much praise aaaaaaaaaaa

I AM VERY PROUD AND HAPPY WITH MY SHENANIGANS AT RIN'S TEAHOUSE HAHAHAHAHA and knowing I gave her some good laughs and she has also been enjoying it's all worth it

ty anon this has been an experience, but also to know people see me like this just... pls Imma cry, I'm thankful to be so loved <3

COMMISSION TYPE: 1 hour of personalized roleplay PRICE: 30 FANDOM: Hannibal CHARACTERS: Will Graham, Hannibal Lecter REQUESTED SUMMARY: ”I'd like to do a Hannibal/Will roleplay if possible. Giant Will taking his revenge on a tiny Hannibal. Since Hannibal has brought him so much pain, it's only right that he should have to give him pleasure as well, now that he's small enough that Will is the one completely in control for once. Could feature Will jacking off and stimulating himself with Hannibal, leading to cock vore with Will taunting that he's just keeping Hannibal as safe as Hannibal always kept him, sending killers after him.

(I'm fine with it being posted on the blog—I generally prefer discord rp if possible.” WARNINGS: nsfw

-——

fandom-gt — Once upon a time, Will Graham was not a violent man. It isn't necessarily an endearing attribute -- part of what got him benched from his time as a cop was his inability to pull the trigger in the field.

Things change. As with much in Will's life, Hannibal is largely to blame for this change. Hannibal changed him.

Once upon a time, staring down at the tiny figure that he'd once thought of as a friend, his first instinct might have been protect. To shelter, to aid, to assist. Now, staring dispassionately down from what must look like a mile high to that tiny little face, something distinctly other stirs in Will's gut. His first instinct instead is a deep, profound sense of satisfaction -- and a much darker sense of delight.

He lowers himself slowly into a squat, not that it does terribly much to make him smaller from Hannibal's perspective, but at least he can make out those tiny features a little better when he says (with no small measure of amusement), "Well. This is a predicament."

commissioner — Hannibal's usually impassive face is even harder to read when he is hardly as tall as Will's palm, but Will has learned how to decipher every microexpression during their time together. Hannibal takes up a disproportionate amount of space in his mind—even more so now, considering. Regardless, Hannibal's displeasure is obvious. "We need to solve this quickly, William. Being this size certainly can't be safe."

Will merely chuckles. Hannibal seems to be under the impression that he'll be getting assistance. That couldn't be further from the truth.

Still, he can give Hannibal a hand. He scoops his former friend up, bringing him to eye level. "Unsafe, did you say? When are we ever safe around one another?"

fandom-gt — Will's fingers, to Hannibal, are immense. Trees, columns, Roman pillars straight from the colosseum. For a man who so frequently compares himself to God, he cannot deny that of the two of them, Will more closely fits the visage now. It's unusual for him to feel certain emotions -- too composed, too much self-control, too methodical in his planning. His mind works too quickly for him to feel such undignified things as fear.

But then, never before has he been towered over with such immense and biblical power. To his own credit, he quells the lizard-brain impulse to run, but only just. He forces himself to remain stoic, to remain still, as that enormous hand reaches from on high and seizes him effortlessly, hoisting his entire body up story after story after story, taller than the Chrysler building, before eyes that have always stared too deeply and too knowingly into his own.

He can see things clearly at normal size. Can see through people's microexpressions and body language like reading a book. Now, Will's feelings are practically telegraphed by bullhorn directly into his mind, and he is not comforted by what he sees.

Hannibal's mind and his tongue are his greatest asset here, and so he remains as calm as possible when he answers, "Think about what you're doing, Will. Think about who you are. The choices you make next... could be definitive for you."

Although... he thinks, maybe part of him deep down might slightly relish seeing Will unleashed, at his full power. Just perhaps not on himself, though it would be poetically fitting.

commissioner — He's always wanted to see Will's becoming. For as long as he's had an understanding of Will's mind, Hannibal has wanted to be a part of it. The part of Will's victim had not been his intended role, however, and he can only hope that, whatever Will plans will be torturous rather than murderous.

Hannibal would deserve it if Will killed him. Will is tempted to end the Chesapeake Ripper once and for all simply by closing his fingers and squeezing. The power he holds in a single finger feels unfathomable compared to Hannibal's size, but he can resist. Killing Hannibal would be a momentary satisfaction.

He and Hannibal are connected, inseparable. It wouldn't do to end their game so easily. "I intend to make very definitive choices, Dr. Lecter. I can't promise that you'll like them, but they'll be definitive."

If they are playing a game, Hannibal has been downsized to the role of a toy rather than a proper player, and Will intends to treat him like one. Though Hannibal's habit of wearing a full suit at all times makes it difficult, it's a matter of moments for Will to remove his layers, stripping him down to his most rudimentary form.

fandom-gt — It's been years, decades, since Hannibal felt small. Not since his sister. Never, not once since those days, has he felt powerless. Until now, with the whorls of fingerprints bearing down on him, shedding easily a suit that costs more than some people's monthly salaries. He's as dignified as he can manage through the panic -- it's pointless to struggle, he knows. His energy will be better expended elsewhere, when his survival might be at stake, rather than just his clothing.

The suit jacket falls. The shirt follows. The pants. Soon, he's naked in air that would be cold, were it not for the body heat radiating from the palm he's perched on.

One of Will's fingers encroaches on his space, pushing him flat against that palm effortlessly. It touches down, dragging softly -- as soft as he can manage, given the callouses on his fingertips from boat motors and fishing hooks. Will is... carressing him. Touching him. Rubbing gently at the flaccid member between his legs without even realizing he's doing it, probably, just because his finger is so large on Hannibal's body.

And Will, being the empath that he is, knows the pleasure Hannibal once felt at being God. He understands it deeply now, too. It's compelling. It's arrousing, and several hundred feet below, heat beginns to stiffen him behind the confines of his slacks.

"All the pain you've caused me... the things you took from me." Alana, for examplee. "I think... maybe it's only fair you give a little of it back now, don't you? Balance, Doctor Lecter."

"Anything," Hannibal promises him, thinking Will means after his restoration to the right size. "However I can, Will. I'll make it right."

commissioner — "Of course you will. Quid pro quo, isn't that right? What you have done unto me, I will do unto you. It's rather kind of you to make it so easy for me. I never thought you would make things so easy." The clink of Will's belt buckle accentuates his statement, and Hannibal looks down, surprised to see Will making quick work of removing his pants. The emotion only becomes more pronounced when he sees the tent in the boxers which Will removes without any hesitation.

Hannibal has seen Will Graham in various states of dress, but he's never seen him naked. His first instinct is to reach out and touch, but size and distance make that impossible. He wouldn't want to touch at this size, even if he could. It is only exposure to this new element of Will that is drawing him in like a moth to a flame, not genuine sexual desire.

Not that he doesn't desire Will. But there is more between them than something base and carnal. More important things to consider than sexuality.

Will sees the aborted motion of Hannibal's hand and decides to make things easy on the good doctor, lowering him down and placing him on top of his shaft, immediately releasing him so that Hannibal will have to cling to his cock for dear life. "Make it right, then."

fandom-gt — What's happening here, Hannibal can admit, is something transcendent. He has too much ego, perhaps too much narcissism, to ever worship anyone but himself -- but if he were going to bow at any altar, if he had to, it would be Will's. Now, Will has taken away his choice. It isn't optional. He doesn't like it, but he does respect it.

Will is hard. Hard enough to provide plenty of surface area for Hannibal to cling to -- and he does have to cling, because not long after depositing him, Will's hands fall away and he begins to walk. The ground beneath Hannibal quakes and sways, and he grips out of sheer need to survive, to not fall from his place. Will's body is a mindless mountain that could end him without conscious thought, and all he's doing is walking toward the chaise lounge across Hannibal's office.

He sits, and the landscape sits with him. Hannibal can't deny the relief of his fall being reduced to yards instead of a mile, as Will sprawls comfortably, arms outstretched along the back of the sofa, staring down at Hannibal expectantly.

There's only one thing for it. He begins to work, unsteadily climbing the cock he's been clinging to for desperate support. As he reaches the head, a pearl of precum beads and begins to descend, streaking rapidly toward him. "Will-" he pleads, only to be cut off as it drips over his face, his body, rudely and filthily silencing him. Will does not see fit to save him, and far above, his lips twitch into a smirk. (edited)

commissioner — "You said you would do anything, didn't you? I should certainly think that bringing me a moment of pleasure falls under that umbrella quite easily. Unless you don't think you can handle it, of course." Challenging Hannibal's pride is always a solid path to victory. It works when they need to bait the Ripper and it works when Will wants Hannibal to rise to the intellectual challenge of their conversations. As the Ripper, Hannibal normally has the upper hand, taking the bait while leaving the hook behind, not harming himself in the process, but Will thinks he might be able to hook Hannibal this time. He's been a patient fisherman, after all.

Ever so slowly, Hannibal starts to rub his hands across the head of Will's cock, spreading the precome across its surface as he does his best to provide some semblance of stimulation.

Let it not be said that Will is an unkind god, as when his cock twitches from the pleasure and threatens to buck Hannibal off, Will lowers a hand to keep him in place. Holding Hannibal, however, gives Will an idea. The man has been soaked in precome and feels decently slippery in Will's hand. Perhaps Will can use him more effectively than Hannibal can use himself.

Changing his grip, Will lowers Hannibal to the shaft, slowly starting to stroke his length with Hannibal as a delicious little toy, stimulating the vein as he moves.

fandom-gt — This is, truly, the ultimate degredation for Hannibal. That unflinching, unfaltering, unapologetic hand descends on him, plucking him from his careful perch and arranging him as Will sees fit. In this case, it's plastering him face-first against the malleable skin beneath the head of Will's cock, and then dragging him through the slick of his cum, grinding him into the unforgiving cartilage only barely softened by the skin wrapped over it.

It becomes apparent that Hannibal's safety is not necessarily at the top of Will's mind as his grip tightens, as his pace quickens. As the world begins to blur while Will chases his own pleasure using Hannibal's body, heedless of the pain and discomfort being done to him. It's only fair, isn't it? After all, Hannibal left Will's body bleeding and broken once, as far as Will's concerned this is much gentler than what he went through.

Hannibal should be grateful, Will thinks. He can feel that tiny body squirming against his nerves, the strength of his struggles, his weak protests that do nothing but add to his own pleasure, and his breath hitches at the flood. The rush of electricity, the coiling pressure in his pelvis.

A groan breaks through him, loud enough to rumble Hannibal's sensitive eardrums -- and then he's flooded by a torrential downpour, wave after wave of it, galons of the stuff washing over Hannibal like a tidal wave. Like every other elemental act of God that floods cities and swallows men.

Eventually, it's done -- and when it is, Hannibal does not have the audacity to hope this is the end of his torment. He's smart enough to know better.

"You know," mumbles Will, his voice hoarse and deafening and satisfied. "Part of you always wanted to consume me, and I think... maybe part of you thinks I should consume you now."

That, Hannibal thinks, truly would be a fitting end. To be swallowed. But Will... has always been his own man, no matter how much Hannibal ever hoped to predict him, and so he's brought hovering over the spent, slick, gaping hole of Will's cock.

"Maybe I will, but I'm also going to keep you safe. Keep you with me. Keep you alive." And his hand begins to lower. Hannibal feels his feet being swallowed and, all at once, understands exactly where Will means to keep him.

commissioner — It's poetic, in a way. Being consumed would be a fitting way to go, but of course Will would find a way to subvert that consummation of their eternal bond in much the same way that he always manages to subvert Hannibal's expectations.

Hannibal knows that struggling would be a feeble endeavor. He could bite and rip and tear at the lining of Will's cock, tearing it to shreds as he is submerged in the darkness, but it would serve no purpose. If he ever wants to be free, he must hope for mercy from Will, and that something that he has never deserved from Will Graham.

As Hannibal makes the path down his shaft, Will feels a profound sense of rightness. Locking Hannibal away where Will would never be able to see him again had always felt wrong, yet Will also couldn't allow him to run free. Truly, bringing Hannibal into himself, allowing Hannibal to see him at his most vulnerable while Will has him completely under his control, is the perfect way to put an end to the Chesapeake Ripper.

Will won't even need the thanks that he will never receive from Jack. Having Hannibal with him forever is more than reward enough.

Alright, I thought about it last night a bit.

I may just stop forcing myself to do the usual 'male v monday' 'shippy saturday' 'thirsty thursday' 'wip wednesday' stuff (I mean I can't even manage to keep up with that either) and instead post whenever I want, like I do on Friday already when everyone is posting their gorgeous females but I (if I post) do post my boys since I do not have any female oc.

I don't know if I'll completely abandon the tags for it or not. it's gonna be more: if I manage to post on that day, I'll add it, if not, I'll reblog and then tag it with the tag or sth like that.

I will still try and take my at least 30min of time a day (mostly after work around 6pm German time) to browse tblr. Queue often makes noe sense to me, sometimes I use ib when I feel I've reblogged to much in a row already but I do not tage anything that will come from my queue so you won#t even notice that it was queued.

I've also set a few blogs on receive notifications so I do not miss any new posts. I love that feature! But sometimes I have to stop using it if a blog keeps posting like every 1h through the day which will give me 24 notes a day on my phone - forcing me to look and I can't do that. I need to find some balance somehow. Still a thing to figure out to have it healthy.

I do not want to abandon looking at content because you all create so many cool things, but in this fandom, as I already said it so many times: it is just so hard to keep up with it. So please do not be mad about me or think I do not like your stuff (anymore) because I've not liked/reblogged a thing lately of your content. I often feel very 'unmenschlich' (inhuman?) when I can't find time to give some love to others work bc I receive so much from all of you, therefore I want to give it back as well.

Idk how you manage having 4+ ocs btw. I with my 4 boys feel like I abandon at least one for too long (rn it is Vijay - and it makes me so incredibly sad, no one will probably understand). But I have to keep telling myself, he will receive a whole lot of attention and love again. However, this month is for Thyjs, because he's having his birthday soon (13th) and so I will focus on him in the first place.

I decided to slide in Jaysen for something else yesterday (because spontaneous things still happen) and I'll hopp in to take a bunch of pic of him as well once my writing here is done, bc he's modeling for some new real cool pants. And then I go back to my soldier boy doing the same (if I can manage bc taking pic … takes time xD).

What elese?

I'll just need to find a balance when I do at least answer roleplay or do story writing because this also I feel very bad about It gets neglected the most, mainly because I've never been a writer. But I find such joy in it and I feel like a bad person that my rp partner always has to wait such long time until I answer. Some days I'd just love to thorw literally everything aside and just do rp 24h nonstop (we all know this doesn't work) because I love love love this story that developed in the past year and when I think about it I'm just so hyped to share it one day but it's a lot of work to do. It's gotten something like a lifetime project by now?

And I need to stop hording my drafts. Its getting ridiculous …

[sunstruck-traveller]

Hi, Aether mun! I hope you don't mind me asking this OOC question. Could you please provide more details on how to create an rp blog like yours? I'm interested in setting up something similar… Thank you in advance!

Oh hello! I didn't really have much of a plan going in so I don't quite know how to describe it, but I suppose I could just tell you in what order I did things? And hope it helps?

So, after having spent over a week following other blogs and sending in asks; I chose to make my own and portray Aether and Paimon. One of the reasons being that I main him in genshin and was Very familiar with his character.

Next i made a "secondary" account. I looked at how the blogs that I enjoyed a lot did things, and then use that as a guide for myself. I chose official art of Aether for both the banner and profile picture, wrote down the rules and made that my first post; which I then pinned so that it's easy for everyone to find.

Now what I've noticed from watching other new blogs pop up, is that if you can find a blog that portrays a character that Your character has relations with; it's a really good idea to simply send them asks over, reblog their stuff with your own interactions, and simply have fun. The visitors of that person's blog will then be made aware of your existence and will most likely stop by to pay a visit!

Since I was playing Aether I couldn't really do this, so every day I'd post two - four posts which basically just showed what he was doing through out the day (waking up, doing a commission, eating food, going to sleep. That sort of stuff) to keep the blog alive while mostly just waiting for any askers that might accidentally find me while going through Aether's tag on Tumblr. Oh tagging things clearly helps a lot too!

I would pay attention to the other blogs as well, seeing if there would be any posts made that I could interact with (usually not with much luck because I'm an incredibly socially anxious mess) and when there were, I'd do what I described above: interacted. Honestly not being afraid of showing others you exist is a very key part to this, I've noticed.

Oh! By the way, even if most of us mods are strangers to each other; we still try and support one another. For example say, someone starts a Nahida blog, right? They post their rules and are all ready to go. The second you happen to spot them, reblog their rules onto your blog. (And give them a follow and ask while you're at it!) It helps them get seen and hightens the chances of them getting anons. Plus it'll probably just make them happy too (I was a giddy mess when people did that with me)

But uhh yeah! Simply have fun, interact with other blogs, and be kind <:)

I really hope any of this made sense to you, for I am not really good at describing things clearly in a short amount of words ^^;;

[petitmori]

How do I know if I let you stay? How do I know if we did it your way? You wouldn't take my place Put me away, I'd die lookin' up at your face How do I ever know? Who can I trust? Feelings of emptiness Only love could kill me, God bless

Indie Astarion Ancunín from Baldur's Gate 3. Non-selective and open to AU, OC, and crossovers. Discord given to mutuals only. Personals do not interact.  Rules under readmore. ( Sideblog @illintent )

RULES

First of all, thank you for visiting this page.  Even if you only skim this, I’ll love you forever.  Most of these rules are pretty basic, common sense stuff, but I would really appreciate it if you read them.  I know it’s long, but I’m just trying to make sure no one is offended or uncomfortable.  I’ll try to make this as painless as possible.  Bear with me.  I’ll try to bold the basics.

            — the basics.

I have a few verses to choose from, and I’ll probably place you in the one that will most easily fit with your character’s canon unless otherwise specified.

Astarion isn’t always the most pleasant person. Please know that anything mean said is not a reflection of the mun’s feelings.  IC =/= OOC.

Don’t god-mod.

OC and Au friendly, but please have an about page so I can gauge whether our characters will be able to interact.

Memes and opens are free game – anyone can send one or respond to one.  However, I may not respond for some reason or another: it may be in violation of one of my other rules, or due to external factors.  If you’re worried that I missed something, feel free to come to me about it, but please don’t constantly badger me for replies.  It’s rude.

I reserve the right to refuse to roleplay, especially if I’m uncomfortable.

DO NOT under any circumstances try to bring me into out of character drama.  If you have a problem with me, contact me privately or just unfollow.  Vague blogging, callout posts and the like are annoying, and I ask that you would tag them.  This is something I will unfollow over if I so please.

            — on selectivity. 

I will be selective with my threads and who I interact with.  I would love to interact with everyone, but I’m very busy with school and other blogs, and I don’t want to overload myself.  If this bothers you, feel free to unfollow.  If you have any questions about whether I have time, feel free to jump into my ask.

Also, I am far more likely to RP with mutuals. That’s not to say I won’t RP with those I don’t follow or those who won’t follow me, there may be exceptions. But it is far more likely.  That being said: if I follow you, I want to write with you.  Probably a lot. I’m just too shy to say anything because I’m a weenie pissbaby.

Starter calls, unless otherwise specified, are for mutuals only.

            — on content.

I’m 20+, so mature content is cool with me.   NSFW and triggering content will be present on this blog, but it will also be tagged in the following manner: n.s.f.w., tw:

As for smut: first of all, I will not smut with anyone under the age of 18.  Don’t ask me to; the answer will be no.  And just in general, don’t come to me looking for smut.  I’m not terribly good at writing it, so it’s very unlikely that it will occur on this blog.  I need to be pretty comfortable with someone to smut with them.  If by some miracle a thread is looking like it’s going to get smutty, feel free to hop into my ask and talk to me about it.  We’ll figure something out.

In relation to that, please do not send me overtly sexual memes if we have not interacted.  Kissing memes are fine, but I tend to get uncomfortable with anything beyond that.  Please respect this.

            — on replies.

I’m an adaptive roleplayer, meaning I’ll likely respond in a manner similar to yours.  If you format, I’ll format.  If you don’t, I won’t.  That sort of thing.  I also try to match length with my replies, but some days I struggle.  If you’re ever unhappy with the quality or length of a reply, please let me know and I’ll do my best to fix it.

I don’t always get to things right away.  I’m notorious for avoiding drafts, and especially right now, I’m pretty busy with schoolwork.  However, sometimes I’ll reply at the speed of light.  It’s really varied, and I’m sorry about that.

Sometimes, I’ll drop things that’ve been in my drafts for too long, or things that I feel aren’t going anywhere.  If you think I’ve dropped/missed/lost something that you wish to continue, come to me politely and we can talk about it.

            — on shipping.

I’m admittedly kind of a ship-whore.  If there are sparks, I likely ship it.  I ship Astarion/Chemistry, but again, it’s rather unlikely that Astarion will engage in a sexual or even a romantic relationship.  Them’s the breaks.  BroTPs are great though.  Also, I’m only human: I sometimes play favorites with my ships.  Sorry.

Please please please DO NOT force a ship on me.  It makes me extremely uncomfortable, and I will not hesitate to unfollow or even block you.  I will try to politely let you know if I feel that our characters do/do not have chemistry.

            — on credit.

Most icons, art and edits are made by myself, and are usually tagged as #my art or #my edits. Otherwise, I do not own anything!

          — on the mun.

My name is Élise, I’m 20+, living in Midwest America, EST.  Feel free to contact me via ask at any time. I love talking to you guys! Skype/discord is available to mutuals upon request – again, I reserve the right to refuse to give these for whatever reason.  I have no triggers, so as long as you talk to me prior to introducing something triggering to a thread, I’ll be cool with it. Just talk to me about it beforehand and I should be fine, but if I’m not feeling it, please respect that.

That’s about it.  Thanks so much for reading these.  Smooches! <3

Hey, everybody!

So, I've been seeing quite a few posts about people having an interest in RPing. I thought I'd write a quick little guide to help those interested get started! This is not, by any means, an exhaustive guide. Nor is it rules. It's guidelines, folks, so you can take and ignore whatever you want. It's mostly just to cover the sort of etiquette that has developed within the roleplay community over the decades.

First, it's a good idea to choose a character you feel connected to or have a deep interest in writing. That might be a canon character (someone who actually exists in the media, i.e. Travis, Jacob, Ryan, Emma from The Quarry), or an original character (OC) who does not exist in the media but who you develop yourself. Canons do tend to get more love in the roleplay universe, but there are writers out there who are happy to write with OCs, too.

Second, once you've decided on a character, it's time to make a blog! Most RPers won't write with you if you're writing on a personal blog. It tends to be a personal preference. I don't care, myself, but if you want to make headway in a fandom, then you might want to consider making a sideblog, at the very least, for your character.

Third, the trickiest part is finding people to write with. Fandoms ebb and flow with activity as time goes on. Old fans leave and new fans discover it and join. You can search Tumblr tags for a particular RP fandom (i.e. "Quarry RP") or look through the various tumblrs devoted to RP hunting and requests. You can even submit your own requests.

Four, after you found a few blogs, it's a good idea to check their tumblr for rules. Some people will make a pinned post (people who are much better at tumblring than me, for example) while others will have a link to the rules post on their actual tumblr profile. Look them over and make sure you're a good fit for that person. A lot of adult writers, for example, will not write with writers who are under the age of 21 or 18.

Five, if the rules check out, then it's time to make contact. First, follow the blog and wait for them to follow you back. If you get a follow, then that's a sign that they have an interest in writing with you. This is where having your own blog for your character helps. Most writers won't follow back personal blogs.

Six, if you get a follow back, then it's time to discuss plots. There are usually two methods for this. The easiest is to simply send them a message. Let them know you're interested, see if they want an interaction, too, and if you really want to show them you're motivated, perhaps suggest a few possible storylines. Nothing too involved, just basic ideas. If they say no or don't respond, then try not to take it personally. There are some characters that just don't interact well with other characters in the sense that it can be difficult to think of organic interactions that they might share. The other way is to send them a prompt or meme through their Asks. Double-check the rules to ensure they're okay receiving those without prior interaction.

Seven, after you've plotted, it's a good idea to determine who is going to write the starter. For some plots, it might more sense for one character to start things off than the other. If the other writer tends to be busy, and you're not, then you can also always volunteer to write one. Often, the hardest part of getting a story going is simply starting it.

Eight, when it comes to formatting, Tumblr is the wild west. You'll find most veteran writers formatting their posts in some way. They'll pretty up the text and use some stylized icons. You can do as little or as much formatting as you want. I keep things pretty basic because I just don't have the time or energy to devote to making my posts look aesthetically pleasing. You're more than welcome to make yours as gorgeous or as plain as you want. Most writers tend to care about the quality of the writing over how pretty it looks.

Nine, and that brings us to quality. Writers all have their own standards. I'm old and I've been writing for almost two decades now, so my standards tend to be on the higher side. Others are a lot more lax. And some have standards even higher than myself. The quality of a post comes down to a few things. The first is authenticity of the character you're portraying. If you're doing things wildly out of character for no reason, then that can be jarring. Secondly, is how well you engage the other character. For example, the best writers tend to be able to give something for the other writer to build on. It may not be possible for every post, but in most cases, if you're only giving one-worded sentences that don't drive the action, then you're making it harder for the other character to interact with you. What's keeping them from just having their character walk away from yours, for example? Thirdly, grammar. As a professional writer, I tend to be a grammar whore (although typos are totally fine, I do them all the time). How a person formats their posts might interfere with some rules of grammar. For example, it's standard practice to write dialogue with double quotation marks, but some writers might use single quotation marks because of how they want to format their posts. That's totally fine. If English isn't your first language or you struggle to write well, then I have the trick for you. Chat GPT. Get a free account, copy and paste your reply in it, and then ask it to edit the post for you. You have yourself a--mostly--error-free reply!

Ten, have fun. Roleplaying is two-parts fun. The first is interacting with others but the other is really developing your character yourself. Think of headcanons, develop playlists (both songs ABOUT your character and songs they might listen to themselves), write little ficlets, read fanfiction, explore fanart, and just enjoy who you're writing.

If you have questions, feel free to hit me up! As always, this is just guidelines! Take what you will and enjoy this lovely bit of escapism with the rest of us.

So it's come to my attention what a 'pokemon irl' style blog is, as compared to the standard format of the pokemon rpc that i'm used to! good time to go over some of my boundaries in a friendly way, as a good reminder! or related points~

This blog has accommodated texting style threads for a while already, actually! (this is because fandomless OC blogs acknowledge the usage of actual phones. and busy IC lives, rather than 'i can just fly over on my pigeot' style logic. pokemon rpc's just now catching onto this concept ic-wise.) so, format wise, I'd feel we're already compatible/set to go ish. I only ask to please add some kinda formatting- I use something like [text]: to indicate that it's an in-character texting post. I'll get into why on the next point;;;

only mildly related, but Unreality really isn't my cup of tea. Stuff like realpokemon isn't really my sense of humor in general. There's a few reasons; bluespacing style format, and establishing a headcanon in such a concrete format like first person, gut reaction answers, etc. Generally speaking, while my lore is super open itself, I just prefer writing cooperatively, not combatively. Even an acknowledgement of different worlds IC helps (though I have a limit on that mood-wise too, lol)

I'm personally actually really chill about my non-thread posts being reblogged; sharing headcanons and whatnot, but as my pinned says, I'd prefer feedback in the tags or something. idk in my case, my headcanons and general writing all by myself are things to be shared; art. But I'm just tired on a whole website scale of art being shared/liked wordlessly. As of now I don't have a problem with notifications being tracked, though please leave my threads w/ other people alone! many people do lose track of their partner's reply.

although another note; just generally speaking; many rp blogs don't like or allow their stuff open to personals or nonmutuals/etc. for many reasons, but one of the biggest besides keeping track of threads is rudeness. When in doubt, just be nice. The internet as a whole has a rudeness problem because argument=more engagement=more chances to shove ads in your face. learn how to deal civilly with differing opinions/headcanons, it's a skill.

anyways, I do have mystery dungeon verses which might 'blend' the best, but you can always ask about interacting! Happy Writing!

[spring-lxcked]

GET TO KNOW THE MUN.

NAME.  nicole or aspen

PRONOUNS.  she / they (i sometimes have a slight preference for one over the other day-to-day, but overall either is fine)

PREFERENCE OF COMMUNICATION.  if you need me to respond quickly, IMs are probably the way to go. if you want to have a long-term convo/don't care about quickness, discord (nicolenostalgia) is best!

MOST ACTIVE MUSE.  currently it's obviously this rabbit bastard, but my other consistently most active muse has been kokichi (@takinghisbow). outside of him, i tend to go through periods of strong hyperfixation on specific muses. single muse blogs for me are pretty exclusively for muses i don't intend on taking long breaks from ever (outside of necessity)

EXPERIENCE / HOW MANY YEARS.  i've been rping since i was around 9 (and far too young to be freely online, but whatever). i've been on tumblr since i was ~14, but didn't start rping here until like. . . 3-4 years ago? prior to tumblr i rp'd on forums, via email with individual friends, and on furcadia (my longest experience and very defining for me ngl. i know it's, like, cringe or whatever, but <3).

BEST EXPERIENCE.  i mean, generally just the genuine friends i've made and continue to make on here. but also, to be slightly more specific, few things stand out in my memory as favorite rp moments more than the funny, crack-y, shit-posting times where me and some of my mutuals are just losing our minds. i love running jokes on my blogs, i love being @'d, i just love love love that non-serious sort of interaction sm.

RP PET PEEVE.  if you start public shit/write callouts about someone because they were slightly rude to you or you just don't like them? [cocks gun] (legally i'm joking, but i'm so glad i haven't seen this kinda shit in awhile. save it for dangerous people, please). other than that, i've had Experiences where my frequently-thirsted-after-by-fandom male muse just gets an Onslaught of ppl who will absolutely try to force ship with their OC. it hasn't happened here, but admittedly i'm like. sitting on the edge of my seat LMAO. (like, it's kinda funny but it's hella disrespectful).

PLOTS OR MEMES.  memes tend to be a better starting point for me unless you already have a specific idea in mind OR we're working off of one of our wishlist posts. i have this Thing where the moment someone asks me to plot every single idea i've ever had leaves my head fdkshfsd. the only exception to this is if it's not immediately obvious how our muses would meet. at which point, either plotting OR just specifying something in a meme you send would be great.

LONG OR SHORT REPLIES.  cursed to love long replies, forced to have executive dysfunction lmao. i mean, i love interactions of any length, but i do looooove getting really into my muse's mindset and exploring it. because of mental health, tho, longer thread usually = longer wait for my reply. not always, it depends on my muse. once we're getting 5+ paras, it might be a bit of a wait (even tho i still love it).

ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSES.  knee-jerk reaction was to say no abt william lmao. in all seriousness, i'd say. . . we have a similar sense of humor, regrettably. and more than that, i feel like my draw to writing muses in general who "wear a mask" and hide their real personalities has been a bit of an. . . unintentional exploration relating to my own masking. i've a only realized in recent years that i likely have ADHD (and maybe autism?), and the realization that the Me In Public is literally Not Me was. crazy. i think that, even though william is a complete bastard, there's something to writing a muse who is always performing. i mean, before i even understood what masking was i remember telling my mom that being around almost anyone irl felt like putting on a show to pretend to be "normal." so anyway me, kokichi, and william are holding hands (eurgh).

TAGGED BY. @gateway31 ( <3 <3 <3 ) TAGGING. whoever would like to do it!!

[misquigleya]

GET TO KNOW THE AUTHOR.

name: char 'cause i never considered lottie being a viable nickname of charlotte like a dumbass lmfao

pronouns: she/her but really i do not care <3

preference of communication: discord only 'cause i'm never logged into mobile tumblr longer than enough to check for replies, draft them, and give the dash a quick scroll before fuckin' off to tiktok or whatever app. but i'm always logged in via discord mobile, plus it's just easier and we can pin important shit or not important shit. too long of an answer for this rip sorry.

most active muse: currently hyperfixated on all of my yj muse's, but i'd have to say it's a toss up between misty and van ( found over on the multi @ darkconsumed ) but literally could shift with the wind at any given moment. let me yell about them all.

experience/how many years: eleven years ( i've seen some shit on this site okay... ) as of feb. of this year. i'm old as hell, even more tired, and i just wanna vibe and write with y'all. all spent on this site mind you; started off in various RPG's before switching to indie in late 2012, early 2013.

best experience: honestly this fandom has been a great way to get me out of a writing funk/block that i had been experiencing for like...months before i finally watched yj. you all have been great and welcoming and put up with listening to me ramble and defend this cute lil blonde nerd. i've had the most fun in this fandom than i have in a long while and that's saying something as i've been in many fandoms over the years. but yea...this fandom has felt like coming home after a long trip <3

rp pet peeves: i'm old RP wise so i got me a good...500 mile long report of pet peeves lol but the biggest are no rules page, no information when it's a oc(s), flat out not reading my own rules 'cause i can tell when they have not been read ( folks with -0 information on their blogs and or no links leading to said information like...tell me you followed without reading rules without telling me ), i don't know why it's still such a thing in the year of our toad 2023, but vague posting. it just makes all the vibes go to shit real quick and no thank. there are many more but i will keep from sounding like an old person on their porch yellin' at the wind.

plots or memes: both? both is good. i don't know what it is with memes, but i tend to have a habit of basing a plot off a meme and wind up with a bitchin' plot that makes sense. memes are also, in my opinion, a great way to break the ice and get everyone involved relaxed enough to reach out. also i hoard memes for the days drafts are a big no and my brain is mush, but not mush enough to do memes. if that makes sense lol

long or short replies: i am go with the motion of the ocean kinda gal. if you give me semi-para, i'm gonna give it right back. sometimes i can word vomit ( sorry not sorry joey ) 'cause the muse be takin' over. but i also don't mind doing shorter replies / one para replies. so long as it's more than like two complete sentences, i'm chill.

are you like your muse: i could lie and say no, but i am. not completely, but there are bits and pieces of misty that are also very much char. it's part of the reason why i picked her up as a muse because i was able to relate to her ( struggling to make friends, not knowing how to go about it, feeling like an outsider even though technically apart of a team, etc. ) it's also why i try to give her a loud enough voice to be heard and listened to over the others. because i can acknowledge her faults and in some instances, so can misty herself, but there's also well, what would you have done? in there as well. like...she's fucked up and flawed but so are the others who tend to think they're above her and the things she's done when in reality they're not. and i don't know but there's just something about that that is so relatable that i can connect to at some degree. but also including the multi, i'm very much like van like...i will yell about movies and pop culture bullshit if ever given the chance.
