#he's a familiar from a roleplay server I'm in

[e-adlirez]

Okay so this is a part 2 to @echoflare841's question because I quickly realized that this is gonna be one helluva mega post if I slapped it all into one post. You might wanna sit down for this one, and uh, if you wish to maintain your innocence and not develop a whole new infuriation towards Scholastic for being so damn slow with translations, then uh, this is your chance to leave and keep Pandora's box unopened, I'll see you when my brainrot allows me to actually do something ^^. Here's a little guy to take with you on your travels.

Still here? Aight, cool. Buckle up.

Scholastic currently has five of the Thea Stilton series translated to English for us to consume, and that's 36 books in the main series, 19 books (on paper) in the Mouseford series, 9 special editions, the Treasure Seekers trilogy, and four Classic Tales. (The graphic novels were released by Papercutz, a company independent of Scholastic.) Now, if we're gonna tally up EdiPiemme's arsenal of Thea Stilton books (and I do mean arsenal), one thing you're gonna have to remember is that Thea Stilton itself is a franchise, not a series. Yes, the Thea Sisters are the spotlight in most of these, but there are some series that fall under the Thea Stilton franchise that are rather different and simply are an extension of the Geronimo Stilton Literary Universe.

Anyway so with that, this is what EdiPiemme has in Thea Stilton books, as of 2023:

59 books in the main series (Avventura)

61 books in the Mouseford series (Vita al College)

12 special edition books, plus the Treasure Seekers trilogy

12 Classic Tales or Libri del Cuore (they did Jane Eyre ya'll as a ninth grade Jane Eyre fan I am surprised)

11 Heart Detective books (Detective del Cuore, basically the girls open up a hobbyist detective agency dedicated to the romantic, the infatuated, and the people who are too shy to confess to their crushes. They play part-detective, part-matchmaker in helping two people who have crushes on each other get together. I think. The detective agency tho I'm very certain on, it's the cutest thing they've done so far)

5 Secret Diaries, just some extra content in the form of a diary all five girls share. Stuff about their lives you don't get to see in adventures that much, and it's cute :D

5 Secrets of the Thea Sisters -- i-it's just five kids' activity books but Thea Sister-themed and also some lore

3 books in Sirene, which is a fantasy thing where the Thea Sisters find a magic link in Whale Island that leads to a mermaid kingdom :D if you felt clickbaited by the special editions because they don't actually have the girls become fairies or something, then Sirene actually has them turn into mermaids for their time in the Cobalt Kingdom :D

23 books in Incanto-- it's a KoF spinoff that follows a group of KoF princesses and princes trying to save it from uh big baddies :D

3 books in Three Girls in the Court of King Arthur, once again another spinoff that circles around three lady knights in King Arthur's court hoping to save the world from Morgana and her mysterious Silent Knight

3 Adventures Through Time, yes the girls get to travel back in time, but it's more magic than science and there's an emphasis on some historical girlbosses

6 Stars Academy books

2 books in The Roses and the Spades, which is a sequel to TGitCoKA

1 SuperSisters book, which is basically a superhero book for the Thea Sisters so they can kick ass and stop having villains roll nat20s in intimidation--

2 Cases in Progress, an ongoing series where the girls are investigating some funky cases detected by an algorithm Paulina's invented that searches the internet space for funky anomalies and weird shnit to investigate

1 book in Spectralia, where three hooman girls get Jumanji-ed into a board game and they gotta Jumanji their way outa there, I only learned about this just now while doing research and it's an interesting premise :3c

And I think that's it? There's one choose-your-adventure type thing where you get to investigate with the girls on a case relating to a crown, but that's about it I think. I dunno, EdiPiemme and the Thea Sisters' blog's catalogues have been a mess since they updated the visuals on both, so I unfortunately can't say for sure if I got all of them or if I missed one because my original sources missed them, but eh. Anyway uh, hope you have fun with this new knowledge :'D

i miss you, don't call me - chapter 47: that's my girl

♡ masterlist ♡ - 《 prev | next 》

synopsis: when your acting careers start to pick up you and your boyfriend zoro both decide that it's better to go your separate ways. you didn't want to, but you knew he was right. fast forward to a couple years later, when you're finally starting to heal, your friends score a deal to shoot a movie together with your ex and you're starting to think maybe you haven't really moved on.

you stand beside ace while you listen to a well known movie director drone on about the yacht party he had last week and how it inspired him to buy his third yacht. you glance over the movie director's shoulder, noticing a familiar head of moss colored hair duck out of the party and out onto the balcony. you pretend to be immersed in the director's story, but really, you were counting to 300 in your head before turning to ace.

you subtly tug on his sleeve to get his attention before leaning over to whisper in his ear. "i need to use the restroom. i'll be back in a bit. 'kay?" he nods his head before getting the attention of the director, allowing you to slip away. you make your way towards the restroom, you quickly look over your shoulder to make sure no eyes are on you before changing direction and heading towards the balcony.

you turn the corner and see your favorite person leaning with his arms crossed on the banister. you can't help but admire how handsome he looks bathed in the moonlight. "excuse me? is the space next to you taken?" he turns his head to the side and playfully rolls his eyes. "yeah, for the incredibly cheesy girl who thinks i want to roleplay for free." you chuckle and take the space beside him. "you're no fun."

"yeah, yeah. what else is new?" he says nonchalantly, before his eyes trails from your face down to your form. "you look good princess. really good." you rest your head on his shoulder and stare out into the backyard of the estate. even under the moonlight you can make out the hedge maze with a ridiculous water fountain made of gold in the center, an olympic sized pool, a tennis and basketball court, and a stable for doflamingo's horses. "thanks baby, but if anyone looks good, it's you." you hear him scoff before placing an arm around your waist and pulling you closer. "don't you start." he chastises.

you let out a sigh. "i can't even speak my truth. i can't believe i'm being silenced right now. what did i do to deserve this?" you huff, a giggle escaping your lips at the unbothered expression on his face. you hear footsteps coming towards your direction so you quickly move away from each other. you see one of the servers making their way towards you with a tray of champagne. they offer you both a glass before walking off.

"can i propose a toast?" you turn towards him, waiting for him to respond. you notice the slight nod of his head so you take it as a sign to continue. you slightly raise your glass towards him, "to us, may we always find our way back to each other, no matter where we are or what's going on in our lives, may we never stray away from each other again." you watch as he clinks his glass against yours. "i'll toast to that." a smile forms on your face as you look up at him, taking a sip of your champagne, the butterflies running amok in your stomach seeing this gorgeous man before you, standing under the moonlight and wanting you, and only you.

you watch on in complete adoration as he downs the whole glass and slams it onto the table. he looks over at you in confusion, wondering why you aren't drinking yours, before you follow his lead and down the whole thing in one go. "that's my girl." you can hear all the love he has for you in the way that he says it. placing the glass down on the table, you smile up at him before you're practically throwing yourself at him, wrapping your arms around his waist. "we should probably get back soon, i have a feeling that dumb chef will come looking for me. his annoy zoro alarm is probably going off right now." he mumbles into your hair as he pulls you closer to him.

as if right on cue, you hear a gasp behind you. you immediately unwrap yourselves from each other and pull away, turning to see who it could be. your heart immediately calms when you see sanji. "amazing, it's as if you summoned him z." he rolls his eyes and gently shoves you towards the doors. "that means it's your cue to go back. we've been gone too long." your eyes lock for a few seconds before you're nodding your head and making your way back into the party, smiling at sanji as you walk past the blonde male.

my bad y'all. i'm still getting used to being back. i didn't realize this post wasn't scheduled. lol.

also thank you to all your kind comments. i forgot my password for my replies account so i gotta fix that lol.

i am just so soft for them okay?! i needed them to have more alone time together lol.

and leave it to sanji to ruin the moment!! but also we love him for standing up for ace!!

[4pplec0re]

Are we ever gonna get the context for the wolf in sheeps clothing drawing? it's just been stuck in my head because it looks BEAUTIFUL and Im curious/nf

the children yearn for the pretty awesome lore

okay i'm going to try my hardest to not explain this in the most complicated way possible... the lore goes deep guys never start a roleplay friend group /lh

The most notable characters here are Noel Vincent (Vin for short) Gruber (he/she) and Misha Oleksandrovych Bachynskyi (he/him). They make up the ship "Pretty Awesome" (technically they're also dating one of the Rickies--their full ship name is Pretty Freaking Awesome (PFA). It's dumb and I love it). Here are some short descriptions for each of them--

Vin is Moni's character. He is Noel at his core, based off of RVJ's Noel, but I like to call him fucked up Noel. She likes gossip and attention. She's often referred to as a "wolf in sheep's clothing" (HE SAID THE THING!), because on the outside he portrays himself as innocent, as if a lamb, but can often be selfish and loves to cause drama for her own gain. Her lore goes much deeper than this but we are not going to get into the Vin lore right now. He's not entirely bad but he is a very flawed character.

Oleksandrovych is played by yours truly. He's basically just my personal interpretation of Misha--he's the Misha you see in TCI (however, multiverse Oleksandrovych's lore is NOT connected to TCI Oleksandrovych. TCI has separate lore. No multiverse stuff over there). I'm not going to explain his personality you know what Misha acts like.

It all starts in a roleplay server called The Zolarian Star Cluster (which I'll be referring to as 'ZSC' from now and forward). The premise of this server is pretty simple. It's a Ride the Cyclone roleplay server, it's pre-Cyclone, and there are several slots for each character. So, a multiverse of sorts! Vin and Oleksandrovych met here. Blah blah roleplay plot stuff, they're dating now. Real corny.

Move on to RPTW, another RTC roleplay server. In RPTW, there is a category called the Sandbox, where people can claim whoever, whenever, with no limits, no submissions, and no approval (for a bit of context, in ZSC you're limited to two or three canon characters, and you can't have two of the same character (e.g. two Noels), because there are limited slots for each so it's easier to manage. None of these rules apply in the Sandbox.) We started adding on some lore to the Sandbox. One important thing to note is the Deja vu phenomenon; although the lore starts over in Sandbox, if a character meets another character in the Sandbox that they knew in a separate roleplay server (ZSC or Sugar Cloud (SC)), they'll experience a sort of Deja vu, noting them and things they do as familiar.

Clearly, I'm sure you know where this is going. Misha does not like Vin in the Sandbox. Vin has constantly been very passive-aggressive towards Noel Oscar (the Noel in Oleksandrovych's choir (TCI Noel!)), and Misha is pissed off about it. Despite this, he feels... drawn to her. He tries to ignore her, but ends up responding every time (even if he's dry about it). It doesn't help that Vin feels the same sort of connection, but gives into it, flirting with and teasing Misha.

Now blend all of this together-- Vin is ill-intentioned. Misha knows this; he's seen it himself! He hated seeing her insult his friend. Vin beckons, "Ohh, mon soleil... no need to be so cold. After all, I'm just a sweet little lamb... don't you agree?" Misha is frustratingly enticed by her. Despite all of his anger... something about this lamb is just so familiar.

I also want to point out some details of this drawing that I liked. First of all, Vin's eye is supposed to look like a wolf's eye (furthering the metaphor). Second of all, if you take a look at their eyes, you'll notice the highlights in them are heart-shaped. I have decided that when two characters who were in a romantic relationship in another universe look at each other, the highlights in their eyes appear heart-shaped. (Not related to the drawing, but this is the same for close friends, except those highlights are star-shaped. Thanks Nym!)

i love my son and his evil wife-from-another-universe i need them to get on that rollercoatser right now here's them interacting in zsc vs sandbox if u even care

[enlightenedfeline]

Self-rp scene!!

These are two ocs who aren't in any of my current WIPs, but I thought of them and came up with their lore like months ago, so I figured why not put them in a roleplay server and see how it's like writing them?

Because this is self-rp, keep in mind that its very dialouge based, and there's barely any setting description since this is all takes place in a pre-existing setting in the series this server is roleplaying!

I'd still like to give some backstory though. This roleplay server is based off of the Gone series by Michael Grant, a six book series where the plot is essentially that everyone over 14 suddenly disappeared, and all the characters are in this indestructible dome, and no one knows what it's made of.

This scene takes place just a few hours after the disappearance, but you'll notice there's already chaos.

(also if youre interested in learning more about the series, make sure to follow my fandom side-blog, @cainesmirrorminion)

Finally onto the scene ^^

A dark cloud loomed over town, any store that sold food had already been looted of most of it's tasty treats. The atmosphere was post-apocalyptic, despite it only being a few hours since the adults disappeared. Two boys had stuck together and kept on the outskirts of town, the shorter of the two walked ahead of his brother, holding his hand and leading him.

Away from town and all it's chaos, to ralphs, where they'd find something instant to cook and eat.

Mateo, the younger of the two, rambled all the way to the store, his brother followed and silently nodded along, only speaking to make small comments.

"It's gonna be a total dystopian wasteland and no time!" Mateo exclaimed, "If there's already a fire, just imagine how bad it's gonna get later!"

Polo didn't want to think about later, already the world was too unpredictable for his liking, he'd had a meltdown just moments after finding out all the adults were gone. Thankfully, his brother was there for him, just like he always was. Polo was still incredibly anxious, but his brother's hand in his brought him warmth and comfort, as well as a feeling of familiarity in a whole new world, so he was able to control his emotions a little better.

"It's gonna be like Urinetown." Mateo suddenly said.

"We'll have to pay to pee and we'll all be too poor too so we'll try to use the bathrooms anyway and instead get killed by two police officers with a homoerotic relationship?" Polo asked.

Mateo rolled his eyes, "No, Polido. The deeper messages of it are what I mean, about conserving water and stuff."

Polo didn't understand why his brother associated conserving water with a musical, but he didn't question it.

"So, to prevent it, we have to be rich! We have to be Caldwell B. Cladwell, you get it?"

"I don't." Polo replied.

"Ugh!" Mateo suddenly stopped, frustrated, "We have to be greedy businessmen if we wanna survive!"

"Do you know anything about businees?" Polo asked.

"Don't get smart with me!" his brother snapped, "There's books like, everywhere, I can read one and figure everything out."

"It'll be harder than that to run a business," Polo reasoned, "If it was that easy, wouldn't everyone have a business?"

"No because most people are lazy," Mateo retaliated, "But I'm not, I'll be a businessman, I'll tax people for using the bathroom and all that. Are you gonna be there with me or are you just gonna crush my dreams!?"

"I'll be there." Polo replied with a small nod.

He didn't want to leave his brother, and it wasn't like it would be super hard to start a business in a world with only kids. Or a dome with only kids, Polo had heard some talk about an indestructible dome, which made him remember that he wanted to measure the circumference of it.

He looked around but there was no end in sight, everything just looked how it normally did, he looked up at the sky too, and it seemed as limitless as always. He didn't bring up the barrier to his brother, Mateo wouldn't care about measuring the circumference of anything.

The boys entered the grocery store, Mateo let go of Polo's hand and walked around, hands on his hips. On the counter, Polo noticed some coins and paper bills, people must've paid before taking stuff out. Had everyone paid? If everyone paid why did they refer to it as looting? Looting was stealing, wasn't it? If kids paid then they were just shopping, making a mess, sure, but still shopping.

He approached the counter and began counting the money left outside the cash register.

Mateo was already in the pasta and rice aisle, looking for instant noodles. Some kids must've had the same idea as him, because the shelf was almost empty. He was grateful to find some instant food packages, and grabbed all that was left.

"Can't run a business my ass.." he mumbled, "Businessmen think about the future, am I not thinking about the future right now?"

He looked to his left, where he assumed his brother would be standing, but he was the only person in the aisle.

"Marco!?" he called out.

"Polo." his brother replied loudly.

Mateo huffed, he held all the instant pasta and noodles he could carry in his arms and made his way to the counter and left the pasta and noodles on it, then he looked around for the unmistakable bright blond hair, before marching into the snacks aisle, where his brother was standing, holding one finger up and muttering to himself.

"Ugh," Mateo frowned, "You're supposed to assist me, what the hell are you doing here!? Chips are tasty, but they're not gonna last us long."

Polo looked down at him, "Canned food will last us."

Mateo's nose scrunched in disgust, "Have you ever opened any canned foods? The smell is horrible, that on it's own is enough to stop me from wanting to get it!"

"Canned pineapples don't smell bad." Polo said, "We can get those."

"I hate pineapples," Mateo hissed, "You should know that."

"You didn't mind them a while ago."

"Well I mind them now! Why are we talking about pineapples anyway!?" he crossed his arms, "Listen, all I'm willing to get is spam and sausages, so we can make pasta and sausages, and spam's not bad when fried."

"It's really salty." Polo muttered, more to himself than his brother.

"And if you want any chips, get them, don't just stand around doing nothing." Mateo looked at the few chip bags left, "It's not like you've got much options anyway."

"It's not about that." Polo shook his head, "I counted the money on the counter, now I'm calculating the price of the stuff missing to make sure no one stole."

Of course Polo had given himself a ridiculous task to stay busy, Mateo sighed loudly, visibly frustrated at how easily distracted his brother was.

"You really think a bunch of kids didn't steal with no police around!?" Mateo demanded.

Polo stared at him with the same blank expression he usually had, and then Mateo felt the need to clarify that it wasn't an actual question.

"Obviously they did, Polo. You don't need to count how much the store lost, let's just go now, alright?" he asked, sounding tired.

It took Mateo a lot to be patient with his brother right now, it seemed he wasn't aware of the fact that there was a fire in town, and that kids would be behaving like rabid dogs soon enough. They had to take care of themselves, and they only had each other.

But no, what mattered to Polo was that no one stole, not the fact that the adults were gone and they didn't know for how long!

Mateo always knew his brother was unusual, even as toddlers, Polo just didn't seem to think the same way others did. As they grew older, Mateo noticed Polo didn't care the same way he did, he processed things differently. Over time Mateo had grown used to his brother's strange behavior, he had grown fond of it.

The same pattern Polo always seemed to follow, his strangely endearing worries about things that didn't really matter that much. Mateo had memorised his brother's daily pattern, it brought him comfort watching Polo walk to the same places, drink the same thing, eat the same things, even behave the same way.

It was something he loved about his brother, that no matter what Mateo went through in his day, no matter how crappy, no matter how good, Polo would be in his bedroom, finishing up homework, listening to classical music, and then talking to Mateo about some new thing he'd engineered, before happily showing it to him.

Polo was predictable, he had his meltdowns, but Mateo always knew how to handle those, he seemed to be the only person able to comfort him. There was never anything intense with Polo, he was never dramatic, he'd bounce back quickly, and his range of emotions was easy to understand.

Now it felt like all the traits he'd come to appreciate in his brother were inefficient. Mateo had to think about the worst case scenario, that the adults wouldn't come back, that their mother was dead and they were now orphans. If that was the case, then they had to be smart, they couldn't stand around wasting time thinking about who stole what or counting money.

Polo completely ignored Mateo's statement, instead he turned back to the almost empty aisle and continued staring at it.

"It doesn't fucking matter, Polo!" he snapped, "Just turn away and let's go, grab a bag or two if you want, but just- you can't be like this, okay?"

Polo took a few more minutes of staring at the aisle, then he nodded to himself, and turned back to his brother, "A few people definitely stole."

Mateo had already turned away by the time Polo spoke, and made his way back to the counter, silently picking up all the noodle and pasta packages again, before glaring at his brother.

"Pay from your allowance if you're so against stealing." Mateo spat, before walking out of the store, dropping some bags on instant noodles on the floor behind him.

Polo couldn't believe his eyes, he thought he knew Mateo better than anyone, he thought he understood him, he thought Mateo could do no wrong. But right now, before his very eyes, he was doing wrong!

The world around him had come crashing, and his brother along with it. He thought Mateo was perfect, as perfect as a person could get. He was a hard worker, he knew what he wanted and fought tooth and nail to get it, he was the most talented person Polo knew. As a singer, as a dancer, as an actor, just as a performer he was perfect.

But as a person… Was he not perfect as a person?

Polo reached into his pocket and pulled out a fifty dollar bill, just for now, until he got to count what Mateo had taken and pay for it accordingly. Before leaving, Polo grabbed some sausages as they had discussed, and left the money for them on the counter.

[letyhide]

lowkey had never watched a realm stream before, i casually clicked on Pangi's stream, as background noise to get ready for cooking dinner for myself, and i saw in the corner of the screen the yellow "PrinceZam has joined the game" message and I FREAKED OUTTT.

The stream was so fun, I watched Zam's pov, Since I knew next to nothing about the realm i feel like it was the right choice, he was as confused as i was... ok, I knew most of members because of,,, other servers, but, there were some new faces, like Ros that were really nice to meet! so yay!

I knew of Pili because of the MCCI stream, and i genuinly could not tell you if Pangi killing him was justified or not, I'm just along for the ride for now. a bit sad that Pili wasn't able to give a proper tour of the server, but we got one anyway, so yay! there are still so many things i don't know about how the server as a whole works, like the leveling up seems so hard to grasp... (like i get why Pangi crashed out at Zam, but i don't GET IT-GET IT.. if someone wants to explain feel free... i need to know now....)

but what i definetly want to talk about is how many FUCKING CASUAL REFERENCES this guy does to LS. especially season 4. like dude, i just watched that entire season recently and my heart cannot take you mentioning some of that stuff. whatever dude, whatever.. also he brought up Mapicc like 3 times unprompted, but that's just any PrinceZam stream for you (saying shit like "Can you immagine Mapicc on this server. This is so funny" LIKE DUDE)

Another thing that i definitely wanted to talk about are BBH and Zam's interactions. INSANE stuff. from Bad threatning Zam to join Green, almost killing him on "accident" several times, while also lowkey being really good at Psychoanalyzing Zam, clocking him every time he would go back on his words, being so receptive to everything he was saying in both a good and a bad way... like, I was not familiar with your game BadBoyHalo... (i think Bad was immediatly like "you are a very indecisive person.." Like, you've been talking for like 10 minutes hello...? he said a lot more but i cant remember off the top of my head).

a bit impressive that Zam hasn't died today, i don't think think anyone ACTUALLy wanted him dead, or had it out for him, but he was genuinly a 2 shot for most of the players i felt like (Bad couldn't stop mentioning how killable he was). So, yeah! idk really intresting stream, again, had never watched a realm stream before this, but i will be tuning in more... i blame PrinceZam...

(it took me writing this at 2 am to realize that I never did start cooking dinner and i just skipped it LMAOOOSD... i hate minecraft roleplay bro)

FFXXIV Directory - Ley Qunya

Art by @minoruru

Roleplay and Inspiration Blog for Ley Qunya, FFXIV RP character on Balmung (Crystal). Most things are queued. Occasionally NSFW.

I am generally open to RP and connections, but I work a lot so I'm not always around. Contact me here on tumblr or find me in game is the best bet.

I do have a Discord and I do RP on it. I don’t give that information out right away though. I’d like to interact in game or through tumblr a few times before I feel comfortable giving that information out.

Player is +30. I am open to most kind types of RP, but please don't expect immediate romance, Ley is a pretty reserved character.

snoots, tell us about how you ship him with the Merchant. and also give Sergei a little kiss on his nose for me please

Can a Communist and a Capitalist truly find love?

So. Sergei × The Merchant. (or Merchgei/Pride Merch as I lovingly call it)

This actually spawned out of a roleplay server I'm in with my buddy Silver ( @creatureshrieks ) where essentially any old long dead RE character can be revived and interact with the newer cast, and we realized that these two actually had some pretty strong chemistry. 

They both have an extended history in the military and are familiar with a variety of weaponry, Sergei canonically owning a collection of both weapons and torture devices from across the globe and The Merchant… I mean. You know the arsenal he has packing at all times. 

They're both pretty charismatic and have their charms and I think combined they'd become fast friends and then some with how Merchant is a flirt and Sergei would be fairly receptive (and also blushes easily as a result of just how pale he is). In the server I alluded to they're already becoming fairly close and It's resulting in a very sweet dynamic that I enjoy thoroughly. It's unfortunate that outside of this specific scenario the chances of them crossing paths is very slim but hey, that's the power of very niche shipping. We can do whatever we want!!!

I'VE GOT NO STRINGS TO HOLD ME DOWN...

MAHINA KARAKURI - C RANK VILLAIN AT BEST. UNREMARKABLE IF NOT FOR HIS CONNECTIONS WITH THE LEAGUE.

That's what they all say. Mahina disagrees. Who says that a good villain has to be a killer? Who says that a good villain can't just push babies out of strollers and give old ladies the wrong directions? It's not like Mahina doesn't have the capacity for evil, she's just... a bad guy, not a bad guy.

This changes with time. More and more exposure to violent acts results in Mahina Karakuri turning into something that he initially wasn't. Something that she never thought she'd be.

Despite his constant insistence that he's not a puppet, it's only a matter of time before she realizes...

Someone else is pulling the strings.

Happy anniversary, TOA! Here's to many more years spent together.

Name: Cyan

Where are you from? What is your time zone? From France, live in England so like 5 hours ahead of the toa clock so I miss a lot

How long is your roleplay experience? Like 15 years now??? What the fuck

How were you introduced to roleplaying as a whole? So I had a friend in school who was a weeb and asked if I RP. And I thought he meant. You know. Nsfw. So I was like Ew no :( I am a teen that is gross. Then he explained he meant like fandom RP and how it works and then I joined him on GaiaOnline YES I'M THAT OLD THANKS AND YES I STILL USE GAIA. I started with hetalia. Yes I'd still like to die

How were you introduced to TOA? Lailah hinted at me for like 2 weeks with lines like "I joined this group and you know Gerome misses Cynthia" and I kept going "sounds fun :)" and did not realise they were hinting until they straight up asked. wow I have been here 6 months

Do you have any pets? No :( I don't have the time for them

What is your favorite time of year and why?(Season, holiday, general period) Summer despite you know. The bugs. But I can actually function in summer

What non-Fire Emblem games do you play? Tales of (WHERE ARE MY TALES FRIENDS AT), Persona, critically acclaimed mmorpg FFXIV, octopath, ?? I'm not sure what else? I tried playing dragon age but it crashes constantly even with the fixes

Favorite Pokemon type & Pokemon: I don't think I have a fave type but I really really love Dragonair 🥺

Tell us some funfacts and trivia about yourself! I once wrote about the ships I hate for an English exam. Got an A. But at what cost. One was a hetalia ship (I was a child.) and another was Bart and Milhouse. 😑 Yes that Bart and Milhouse.

How did you get into Fire Emblem? I was told to play Awakening because I'll love it and I'll totally love all these characters. Um. I never finished it. Then Fates came out, twitter didn't shut up about that and I refused to play it. Then 3H came out. I saw Edelgard and it was joever for me. So I bought it and I've been here ever since.

What Fire Emblem games have you played? Engage, 3H, Fates (all three routes baby), Awakening, Echoes, Warriors, Sacred Stones, a little FEH until I was put off cause I summoned Easter Xander, a little FE7 and I WILL. FINISH. PATH OF RADIANCE. I SWEAR TO YOU ALL RIGHT NOW.

First & Favorite Fire Emblem games: first was technically Awakening but I didn't like it so I dropped it until 2022 I wanna say? So really my first FE was 3H. My favourite? Depends on the day.

List your 5 favorite Fire Emblem characters across the series!

Who was the first character ever to make you go “ooh I like this one in particular” and why? Can be any context and reason!

Any Fire Emblem crushes? 😳

If you’ve played (or are familiar with) the following games, who was your first S support? Who would you S support nowadays?- Awakening:- Fates:- Three Houses:- Engage:

Favorite Fire Emblem class?

If you were a Fire Emblem character, what would be your class and stats? Would you be playable?

If you were a Three Houses character, what would be your affiliation? (Black Eagles, Blue Lions, Golden Deer, Church of Seiros, Those Who Slither in the Dark, unaffiliated civilian, other - for example Almyran)

If you were an Officers Academy student, what would be your boons, banes and potential budding talent?

If you were an Engage character, which nation would you originate from? (Firene, the Kingdom of Abundance; Brodia, the Kingdom of Might; Elusia, the Kingdom of Knowledge; Solm, the Queendom of Freedom; Lythos, the holy land of the Divine Dragon; Gradlon, the desolate land of the Fell Dragon)

How do you pronounce TOA? 🤔(separate letters, to-ah, other?)

Current TOA muses: Cynthia and Ryoma!

Past TOA muses? Alas :(

Who was your first TOA muse? If you no longer have them, can you see yourself picking them up again? Cynthia! My beloved. I didn't think she could be such a strong muse I picked her up cause I was bullied into it. Now she bullies me daily

Do you believe you have a type of character you gravitate towards writing? (If you filled this out last year, has this changed in any way?) I don't know actually? I love posh assholes. I love sweet girls. I love chaos characters. I dunno you should see my muse list on my indie it's a wild mix

Do you have characters or types of characters you don’t think you can handle writing, but wish you could? I wanna write unrepentant assholes but I can't :( I struggle with that. I'm trying tho

What kind of scenes, situations etc do you believe you enjoy writing the most? (If you filled this out last year, has this changed in any way?) um. Well. I like intimate stuff if you're picking up what I'm putting down. But then I run away about 2 replies in so I write fanfic usually. I like kissing too. Um. I love high emotional scenes too. If I could describe my writing style, it's "My Dinner With Andre - the novel" (I've never seen the film but I get the gist)

Do you have any scenario in mind for your muse(s) that gets you thinking “man I hope I get to write this one day”? I want Ryoma to be happy. Like genuinely I want him to be in a place where he can forgive himself, maybe even forgive the nohrians. I want him to move on and have a peaceful life as a teacher. But I also want him to fall in love which is. So silly. But. My brain is a shipper lol. As for Cynthia? Hm. I have thoughts for her but that's a whole arc

Favorite TOA-related memories? I dunno! I've had a lotta fun here but I can't think of any specific stuff offhand? Maybe how welcoming everyone was when I joined that was nice 🥺

Present or past tense? Present! I live in the moment! I tend to tense match but present. I like third person and second person POV too but I can't RP in second person BC it feels weird? I mostly write in second person if I'm writing a vent fic. Why? I dunno

Normal size text, small text, no preference? I like tiny text but again I size match. I snoop to see what my partner does and copy them :D

Got any potential muse delusions to share? 😉  I am working towards the worst fucking creature. 0/10. I hate him (Innes. Yes he's my discord icon rn why do you ask). If someone else grabs him, hm. Tana? L'Arachel? I had more but I'm gunning for my moron mullet man ngl I have THOUGHTS

[verseandrhyme]

Where are you from? What is your time zone? Canada, TOA Standard Time.

How long is your roleplay experience? I've been roleplaying on Tumblr specifically for about 9 years now, but on the internet as a whole since I was first let on here unsupervised so who knows. If I had friends to play with as a kid, probably a lot sooner irl too.

How were you introduced to roleplaying as a whole? I think it was first through Gaia Online roleplay forums for Kingdom Hearts, then later I moved to Quizilla where I was actually kinda semi-popular.

How were you introduced to TOA? Ree showed up in my dms and said "quit modding FERP. Join my new server." and then later that month I was there.

Do you have any pets? No, but I have two cats back home with my parents.

What is your favorite time of year and why? (Season, holiday, general period) Fall and early Spring, because most of my wardrobe is geared towards then.

What is your IRL occupation? Customer Support Specialist for a video game company, but I just transferred out of Quality Assurance.

Some interests and things you like/enjoy? Video games in general, musical theatre, mythology, fairy tales.

What non-Fire Emblem games do you play? Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Suikoden, Persona, Planet Zoo/Zoo Tycoon, Eiyuden Chronicles, In Stars and Time, I can go on forever.

Favorite Pokemon type & Pokemon: Fire and Vulpix.

Tell us some funfacts and trivia about yourself! (Optional bonus challenge: if you filled this out last year, try not to repeat what you said back then!)

I trained in theatre and studied sword fighting/stage combat.

I'm allergic to peanuts.

The doctor told my mom to avoid all nuts as a result, and aside from the Nutella they made me eat during my latest test, I have yet to eat any nuts willingly.

I have multiple scars on my right knee.

My mom lost me on a cruise ship when I was 4.

How did you get into Fire Emblem? My friend was playing Awakening and would let me try it, but not let me make any save files, so I played the first few maps over and over until I was able to eventually get my own copy and make it past the first three chapters.

What Fire Emblem games have you played? Tellius games, Awakening, Fates games, Shadows of Valentia, Warriors Games, Three Houses/Hopes, and Engage.

First & Favorite Fire Emblem games: First: Awakening! Favorite: Fates!

List your 5 favorite Fire Emblem characters across the series! Setsuna, Mitama, Saber, Reyson, Yunaka.

Who was the first character ever to make you go “ooh I like this one in particular” and why? Can be any context and reason! Gaius! It was on sight I completely abandoned my plans to S-rank Frederick for him. It's the VA, he keeps getting me like this.

Any Fire Emblem crushes? 😳 Crushes, no.

If you’ve played (or are familiar with) the following games, who was your first S support? Who would you S support nowadays? - Awakening: Gaius / probably still Gaius - Fates: Kaden/Laslow/Silas / Ryoma/Kaze/Setsuna - Three Houses: Ferdinand/Seteth/Sylvain(?)/Claude / idk probably the same - Engage: Pandreo / Still Pandreo but also Yunaka, Gregory, Diamant, Rafal, [...]

Favorite Fire Emblem class? Thief!

If you were a Fire Emblem character, what would be your class and stats? Would you be playable? I want to be one of those incredibly stupid villager units that you have to keep alive but keep running towards the enemy.

If you were a Three Houses character, what would be your affiliation? (Black Eagles, Blue Lions, Golden Deer, Church of Seiros, Those Who Slither in the Dark, unaffiliated civilian, other - for example Almyran) Black Eagles.

If you were an Officers Academy student, what would be your boons, banes and potential budding talent? Boons: Swords, Gauntlets. Bane: Heavy Armor, Flying.

If you were an Engage character, which nation would you originate from? (Firene, the Kingdom of Abundance; Brodia, the Kingdom of Might; Elusia, the Kingdom of Knowledge; Solm, the Queendom of Freedom; Lythos, the holy land of the Divine Dragon; Gradlon, the desolate land of the Fell Dragon) uuuuh Firene.

How do you pronounce TOA? 🤔(separate letters, to-ah, other?) Separate letters.

Current TOA muses: Mitama, Yunaka.

Past TOA muses? Bernadetta, Saber, Setsuna, Charlotte, Sylvain. I'm probably forgetting someone.

Who was your first TOA muse? If you no longer have them, can you see yourself picking them up again? Bernadetta! I think I'm satisfied with what I did with her, she can rest.

Do you believe you have a type of character you gravitate towards writing? (If you filled this out last year, has this changed in any way?) People who say one thing but mean another and won't communicate their feelings clearly. This doesn't say anything about me as a person.

Do you have characters or types of characters you don’t think you can handle writing, but wish you could? I want to try an antagonist at some point but I lack the emotional willpower to go up to three muses for long. I also don't think I could handle writing a lord or someone important, I like my guys who don't matter.

What kind of scenes, situations etc do you believe you enjoy writing the most? (If you filled this out last year, has this changed in any way?) I don't know how to explain this because it's v vibe base. I like when there's emotional tension. I like seeing interactions between other characters weave together. I like building towards something bigger. Scenes where someone breaks and finally talks about something they've been holding back.

Do you have any scenario in mind for your muse(s) that gets you thinking “man I hope I get to write this one day”? I want to force Yunaka to talk about her past with people I want that shit to get dragged out to the open I want that shell cracked open to the meat baby.

Favorite TOA-related memories? Happyland2024 was a lot of fun and I'm glad that was my first lore event back, I had a great time with everyone. Team Justice will always be dear to me, as that was the moment that really got me hooked on TOA. Getting Nat's Innes' name in babe hunt just to beat Lilly's Cynthia and Lilly's reaction always makes me laugh.

Present or past tense? Lately I've been doing present more but the thing about me is that if I stop thinking for two seconds I change tense without noticing.

Normal size text, small text, no preference? Normal text, but lately I've just been matching whatever other people cook.

Got any potential muse delusions to share? 😉 Saber quieted back down, sorry guys. I still think about trying Peri one day, and I would like to try and see if Setsuna vibes again because I miss her. I thought about Louis out of nowhere the other day, that was weird.

TOA Anniversary Munday

Celebrating TOA and the people who contribute to make our group what it is.

Repost, don't reblog. Only fill in what you feel comfortable sharing!

Happy anniversary, TOA! Here's to many more years spent together.

(Previous answers here on Raven's blog. Thanks for putting this together Neffi!)

Name: tches!

Pronouns: she/they

Birthday (no year): 22 Dec

Where are you from? What is your time zone? From Germany, but I live in Colorado

How long is your roleplay experience? A few years in 2005, and now my tenure here

How were you introduced to roleplaying as a whole? Uhhhhh probably Yahoo chatrooms if I'm honest, but I spent most of my time in Livejournal communities

How were you introduced to TOA? I found it scrolling the Raven tag and I saw mirae's drop. Didn't join at this time. Then Elf advertised in a mutual server and I was like Hm. Maybe I will.

Do you have any pets? The server knows my beloved Coriander my baby my light my heart. I also live with two GSDs, Ursa and Solo.

What is your favorite time of year and why? (Season, holiday, general period) I love you winter, I love you snow, I love you December, I love you.

What is your IRL occupation? Handwaves IT. I'm helpdesk at my current place, but I've begun learning network infrastructure stuff recently.

Some interests and things you like/enjoy? I like languages and history, esp Meiji Japan and Mughal India. I used to be a lot more active, and I still generally enjoy yoga and rock climbing, but I've accrued some injuries which prevent me from doing this as much as I'd like. Sadge.

What non-Fire Emblem games do you play? Final Fantasy, Pokemon, Ace Attorney, Assassin's Creed, Dragon Age, Bloodborne, Witcher, Kingdom Hearts.

Favorite Pokemon type & Pokemon: Ice or Dragon I think; and Gyarados my beloved my friend my partner (although Delibird is a very close second I love that little dude)

Tell us some funfacts and trivia about yourself! (Optional bonus challenge: if you filled this out last year, try not to repeat what you said back then!) One time a drunk driver scraped my ex-husband's car pulling out of the bar and while he was so flabbergasted that it had happened, me and a friend who had just gotten out of the Navy broke into a sprint to chase the girl down for three blocks before she left the neighborhood.

How did you get into Fire Emblem? My father and I were in the PX and I grabbed Blazing because it had just come to the States and it looked interesting.

What Fire Emblem games have you played? All but Archanea and Tellius. I started Path of Radiance, and put it down at chapter 15 when I got busy. I'll pick it back up again I promise :sob:

First & Favorite Fire Emblem games: First is Blazing and favorite is...probably Blazing still. Elibe is just home to me. I really really like Three Houses and Shadows of Valentia though.

List your 5 favorite Fire Emblem characters across the series! Oh gosh. Raven number one forever, and Dima and Berkut are up there. I'll list five who aren't my roster, in no particular order: Hubert, Hector, Lyon, Priscilla, Lachesis.

Who was the first character ever to make you go “ooh I like this one in particular” and why? Can be any context and reason! Wil. Wil was my first favorite, followed by Matthew. I genuinely loved them so so much my first playthrough I gave them everything.

Any Fire Emblem crushes? 😳 Jeralt can still get it.

If you’ve played (or are familiar with) the following games, who was your first S support? Who would you S support nowadays?- Awakening: Another accidental Chrom victim - probably Lonk or Freddie Fates: I genuinely don't remember if it was Kaze or Jakob - Probably still Kaze Three Houses: Claude - Hubert is my favorite S support he's really good Engage: I literally hard swerved from Diamant the moment Pandreo came on screen I don't think anyone's taking his crown.

Favorite Fire Emblem class? I just really like the Merc-Hero line 🙈But I also love wyverns

If you were a Fire Emblem character, what would be your class and stats? Would you be playable? Infantry sword. I hate to say I'd be a Navarre archetype but I honestly probably would be. Middling strength and con but workable with attention, decent speed, absolutely ridiculous crit stat. Surprisingly high resistance. I'd be a good candidate for Dancer or Mortal Savant.

If you were a Three Houses character, what would be your affiliation? Unaffiliated civilian, but can be swayed to join a cause after some effort. I tend to keep myself a bit at arms length, and it can be difficult sometimes to get my genuine loyalty.

If you were an Officers Academy student, what would be your boons, banes and potential budding talent? Boons: Sword, Bow Bane: Flying Budding Talent: Heavy Armor

If you were an Engage character, which nation would you originate from? No lie, probably Brodia. My family is full of soldiers on all sides

How do you pronounce TOA? 🤔(separate letters, to-ah, other?) Depends on the flow of the sentence. Sometimes toe-ah, sometimes T-O-A

Current TOA muses: Raven, Dimitri, Berkut

Past TOA muses? Sigurd, Igrene, Saber, Petra, Beowolf, Lyn

Who was your first TOA muse? If you no longer have them, can you see yourself picking them up again? Raven my heart my forever. If he hasn't been pried from my grasp for the last twenty years, I can't imagine what might.

Do you believe you have a type of character you gravitate towards writing? I like it when grief and love carve someone into a weapon. I love rage and deep, boundless sorrow. And I occasionally like when they get a little slutty, I'm not a monster.

Do you have characters or types of characters you don’t think you can handle writing, but wish you could? 🤔Hard to say. I like to think my range is pretty good. I've been writing for long enough that I don't really wish - I just do it. I think anyone could write anyone if they genuinely put their heart into it.

What kind of scenes, situations etc do you believe you enjoy writing the most? I like when the narrator is a little unreliable. I like when there's so much emotion that everything becomes just a little bit fuzzy an indistinct, like they're suddenly underwater and haven't realized they're drowning. I like when the narrative is circular and I can call back five posts, or when I can bookend things - dramatic irony my beloved. I love miscommunication, especially when one person takes something and runs with it (RIP Sigurd you were the king of this and your never-shuts-up).

Do you have any scenario in mind for your muse(s) that gets you thinking “man I hope I get to write this one day”? I've been in an AU mood lately. I want more AUs - coffeeshop AU, horror movie tropes AU, cross-fiction AU. There was an idea that I had that I'd like to build up a bit more that I may drop a call for 🙊

Favorite TOA-related memories? All of Raven's threads with elysia's Priscilla and kanoesa's Lucius 🤲I hold them like this. And unrelated to my muses I to this day can't get over And Now All Of TOA Knows You Tried To Kill Ryoma.

Present or past tense? Past. I use present tense pretty sparingly, and almost exclusively for one-off asks. Feels weird though.

Normal size text, small text, no preference? No preference. I use normal size out of laziness. The most formatting you'll get from me is italics for emphasis or for thought patterns.

Got any potential muse delusions to share? 😉 One day I will app Sommie and everyone will have a heart attack. You think I'm joking? You think this is a game?

𝐓𝐎𝐀 𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐫𝐲 M𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲!

Celebrating TOA and the people who contribute to make our group what it is.

Repost, don't reblog. Only fill in what you feel comfortable sharing!

Happy anniversary, TOA! Here's to many more years spent together.

Name: Neku

Pronouns: he/they

Birthday (no year): Feb 24th

Where are you from? What is your time zone? North-Eastern NY with an EST time zone!

How long is your roleplay experience? About 2+ years now likely, with about half a year on indie and the rest from Discord RP (AKA just TOA)

How were you introduced to roleplaying as a whole? Okay this is always a really funny story because when I was around 15 or so I was really getting into Puyo Puyo, both because funny puzzle game but the characters were actually really cool! Then like one of my random friends from that community had the idea for RP/worldbuilding and the rest is history I guess?? I don't do Puyo RP anymore but it was a nice start. c:

How were you introduced to TOA? After my indie experience went down the drain I stayed in contact with most of my close Tumblr FE RP friends and that included gamer N. He told me about TOA a while back before, but I only considered joining really after I started getting used to college life.

Do you have any pets? No, my only pet were like carnival goldfish that....yeah :(

What is your favorite time of year and why? (Season, holiday, general period) Start of spring because while I like the colder seasons I feel sick AGAIN so I think the spring period is just my safest one.

What is your IRL occupation? University student until I learn what the hell I want to do with my life.

Some interests and things you like/enjoy? Small interests in music theory, game design, mathematics, musicals, uh....gaming. Yeah, gaming.

What non-Fire Emblem games do you play? Smash Bros, Splatoon, The World Ends With You, Touhou Project, Trails/Kiseki, Celeste, a lot more Nintendo, honestly insert a lot of roguelikes here

Favorite Pokemon type & Pokemon: I'm such a fake pokemon fan I stopped playing after Gen 6 but the Steel type is cool and Empoleon my beloved.

Tell us some funfacts and trivia about yourself! (Optional bonus challenge: if you filled this out last year, try not to repeat what you said back then!)

1) I have moderated a Touhou gacha server. Am I proud of it? No. 2) I can do a T-spin. I think that's pretty cool 3) I can beat Punch-Out on the Wii in a single session. It's probably easy to do but I love that game okay.

How did you get into Fire Emblem? Brother showed me FE7 on a totally legal GBA and I was like "wow cool!" Also Smash.

What Fire Emblem games have you played? It's on my mun page but I've played every (remade) FE game outside of FE5 (which I'm currently completing), 3 Hopes, and TMS. Quit FEH after like year 2.

First & Favorite Fire Emblem games: First would be both FE7 and Awakening, favorites are FE15, FE9, and (until I lose the adrenaline) FE4.

List your 5 favorite Fire Emblem characters across the series! Okay 5 is a large ask when you say favorites but uhhhhh Mae, Ike, Anna, Flora, Shamir. They can fight over the top 5 spots like a battle royale.

Who was the first character ever to make you go “ooh I like this one in particular” and why? Can be any context and reason! Going off FE7 being my first I'd probably call out Marcus because haha strong earlygame prepromote go zoom. Fortunately that almost works depending on the FE game.

Any Fire Emblem crushes? 😳 Ayra. Yeah.

If you’ve played (or are familiar with) the following games, who was your first S support? Who would you S support nowadays? I don't really care much for the S Support mechanic so I'm just writing these to call out my tastes. Probably no one I'd really consider to do with nowadays. - Awakening: Tiki - Fates: Honestly I cannot remember for the life of me for my sake I hope it was like Setsuna. Edit: fuck it was definitely Kagero. - Three Houses: Shamir - Engage: Ivy

Favorite Fire Emblem class? Pegasus Knight!

If you were a Fire Emblem character, what would be your class and stats? Would you be playable? I don't want to be one but I'd likely be some armor class with axes or swords. I'd be playable with really middling stats so I'm either benched or the subject of a FE video essay on "why splorgius the axe knight is UNDERRATED???"

If you were a Three Houses character, what would be your affiliation? (Black Eagles, Blue Lions, Golden Deer, Church of Seiros, Those Who Slither in the Dark, unaffiliated civilian, other - for example Almyran) Golden Deer YIPPEE

If you were an Officers Academy student, what would be your boons, banes and potential budding talent? Boons: Lance, Gauntlets, Flying; Banes: Axe, Faith, Heavy Armor; Budding Talent: Authority

If you were an Engage character, which nation would you originate from? (Firene, the Kingdom of Abundance; Brodia, the Kingdom of Might; Elusia, the Kingdom of Knowledge; Solm, the Queendom of Freedom; Lythos, the holy land of the Divine Dragon; Gradlon, the desolate land of the Fell Dragon) Brodia so I can convince Citrinne to donate to the commoners (it won't work.)

How do you pronounce TOA? 🤔(separate letters, to-ah, other?) N has made me say To-Ah but if I am not being hypnotized it's separate letters.

Current TOA muses: Citrinne, Lene, Yuzu

Past TOA muses? Mae, Shamir, Sonya, Faye, Anna (FEH), Flora

Who was your first TOA muse? If you no longer have them, can you see yourself picking them up again? Mae, and I honestly could see it but only if other muses weren't picking so hard at my brain right now.

Do you believe you have a type of character you gravitate towards writing? (If you filled this out last year, has this changed in any way?) N has called me out for my sadgirl schtick, and...yeah. I think I've strayed from women that outright have traumatic moments define them, but it definitely is a sore spot in their lives. Unless you're Yuzu. You'd win.

Do you have characters or types of characters you don’t think you can handle writing, but wish you could? So this used to be like any single noble muse due to the inevitable struggle of writing around politics but I think Citrinne has been doing well sooooo let's just go with what the people want. Neku the male does not think he can write other men.

What kind of scenes, situations etc do you believe you enjoy writing the most? (If you filled this out last year, has this changed in any way?) I still don't feel like I gravitate toward any real scenario but nowadays I have gotten less scared of dialogue to the point where I enjoy moments that allow muses to just talk to one another and bounce off each other.

Do you have any scenario in mind for your muse(s) that gets you thinking “man I hope I get to write this one day”? Nothing sticks to my mind right now for Citrinne; for Yuzu I need her mind to implode from Fates' route shenanigans; for Lene I need her to meet her mother :)

Favorite TOA-related memories? At this point it'd be Ball 2024 and Happyland since those are my most recent event memories. The mini-event I did with Sonya was very precious too.

Present or past tense? Try my darnest to keep it to present and I'm so sorry when it flops.

Normal size text, small text, no preference? I prefer to keep it to normal text when writing on my own end, never really saw the point for small, but I don't mind what others use.

Got any potential muse delusions to share? 😉 You know who you are.

Mumbo

Location: Hospital, Southwest New Star, Bottom Floor

🖤  🌕  🖤

He couldn't tell you when he became aware of voices. On some level, they were there the whole time, even with memories playing across his eyes. Some he'd rather forget, full of escorts with diamonds for teeth waiting while his fumbling hands plugged his player file in a foreign server core, his heartbeats tangled, chilly breath on the back of his neck warning him that he only had minutes before he could expect his back thrust against a wall, fangs in his neck… Payment claimed for keeping a lone wandering trader safe another day out in the anarchy world.

Wake up, he warns himself, and dissolves to begging at the memory of his own anxious hands grabbing the shirts of a dozen anivores for support. Wake up. This isn't real. Get out!

Some hands had been a good deal gentler. That didn't always make them perfect. But Impulse had only been rough once. Vee almost too soft. BigB… Well, they didn't say much on the first and last trek they ever took together, even when collapsing into the same guest server and sharing a bed (with Vee, too) after a long, long day. Mumbo distinctly remembers the guy rolling over once, mumbling "Your turn," when the baby allays started fussing for their milk. It's laughable, looking back on it, although Mumbo had griped about it at the time. Hysterical. I can't believe I didn't crack up! BigB's underrated. He should let Grian know; make sure he remembers to appreciate what he has.

And Martyn… Martyn hadn't taken any adventures with him. But he'd roleplayed softly in their bed, letting Mumbo (For once, for once) take the lead.

He's lying on his back. Which isn't usual for him. Shapes and figures blur together. But he hears… words? Sounds like words. This is people-talk. He stirs without cracking open his eyes.

"Let's go," cheers a pleasant, pumped-up voice from somewhere to his right. A masculine voice. Big. Loud. One that's only familiar on the very fringes of his memory, like a frayed tassel on his llamas' blankets that he's always had, but only remembers when he's looking straight at it. Chair legs screech across the floor. Mumbo winces, screwing his eyelids tighter, but the mystery figure isn't one to be put off by silent rejection. "Welcome back to New Star! Boy, am I glad I decided to check in mentally for work today. What's this guy's name again? Oh, right, right. Well, we can cross 'Save patient' off our daily tasks. What's next?"

Oh, goodness… His eyeballs want to yawn. He tries it with his mouth, though it's… less satisfying than it probably would be on a server with actual sleep mechanics. Well, at least my head's no longer clicking. Fading images still dance across his mental comm screen, but they're swirling into smoke the more he shifts around, zoning back into the world. Mumbo blinks his eyes a few times, trying to make them stick. The face of a man with a black, neatly trimmed beard swims into view above him. Maybe a little too close.

"… I know you."

The man's face snaps from pleasant to shocked real fast. He bites one corner of his lip, leaning back in his chair. What? Mumbo's voice feels scratchy in his throat, even unspoken. Before he can get his next words out, the man's addressing another figure in the room somewhere out of sight. "Ohoooh… He knows me, and I had to check his file 4 times before I burned his name into memory. That's about to be real awkward. Hey- You know what? Accidents happen. That's life."

"Yeah, I know you," Mumbo mutters, mostly to himself. He lives across the hall from Martyn and Jimmy. Simmers' Quarter. Seen him around. He sort of hops all over the place. But the name escapes him. Mumbo should care about that. Should he care? A zing of guilt courses up his back at the thought of forgetting his ex-husband's immediate neighbor, but he breathes through his teeth instead of saying so.

… Okay. Take stock. Mm. If he can get his brain to drag itself awake from a sluggish, whimpery state, that is. Mumbo runs his fingers through sticky threads of mussed-up hair. His body doesn't ache, surprisingly enough. Or maybe not surprisingly; double regen is a killer. Well, the exact opposite of a killer. He braces his hand to the mattress, pushing himself to a sitting position. Mumbo brushes his fingers across his mustache. He goes to flip his F5 eyes on, but the shift makes him so dizzy, he pulls back and drops his face in his hands instead.

The bearded man scoots his chair closer to his bedside, all smiles and absentminded apologies. He double pats his chest. Thump-thump. "Hey, I'm James Turner- formerly known as The Sim Supply. Well, not over here… You kind of had to be there. And if anyone tells you I designed Vanillite, they've got the wrong guy. Ask your husband; he'll vouch for me."

"… Uh. Oh, goodness me." If he were in one of Martyn's mangas, he'd have slash lines across his face, flushing up a storm. Mumbo reaches for his hood. No robes. His hands clasp on empty air, so he pulls his blankets into his lap instead, squirming his hands between his legs. "Aha… I should probably come clean about that. Martyn and I aren't, um… sleeping together anymore."

Sleeping doesn't feel as hot and bitter on his tongue as married would. And it's the accurate word, even if it stings. It feels more correct than dating. They'd flirt and play and cuddle, usually with fingers in each other's clothes and hair, until they got all snuggled up and Mumbo (eventually) drifted off to sleep. Martyn left by dawn every morning, all his blond hairs despawned from the bed. Nocturnal phantom code. Warm. Soft. I… needed space. And I was leaving for a trip, and it was never really that serious anyway. Okay, that sounds bad out of context, but-

James' frown burns a scar in the crest of his head. "Uh. Dude? Does Martyn know?"

"It was 100 years ago!" He can hold his head high and proud on that, except he can't. "Did nobody get the memo?" And without a hood to tug over his face, he looks away, just biting the edge of his knuckle and gripping the hospital bedsheets with his hand. Wait. Why am I in hospital? Seriously, that memory just went out the window. Did he get flashbanged? Close range? He touches two fingers to his scalp. Sore…

"… Didn't I see your mouth all over him at the shower house on Friday?"

Ohh, don't remind me… Mumbo fumbles through a couple squeaks, then focuses on the more pertinent question. "Sorry; why am I here, exactly?" And why do I smell bacon?

Pinned Post and About Me

Hi! I'm Tagtot! As of posting this, I am very new to using tumblr. If you read through this and think we'll gel, feel free to interact! I am:

Trans (ftm). I primarily use he/him pronouns. I don't mind they/them.

Bi

Acespec

British. My timezone is GMT.

And also a furry.

My boyfriend's blog - @endri-1 Welcome to my blog! Here's some things you should know about me: - I will be using this blog as a sort of archive for my art in the beginning, and may branch out later once I'm a bit more familiar with tumblr.  - I am currently still a minor! Please keep this in mind when interacting. Thanks! I'll be 18 in just under a year. - My sona was based on an ocelot! His name is Tag. He doesn't look much like an ocelot specifically anymore, so he's sort of a miscellaneous feline. I will still be referring to him as an ocelot, though.  - I play a lot of videogames. I like Minecraft, Pokemon, Terraria, Stardew Valley, Necesse, Webfishing, Animal Crossing, Monster Hunter Stories, Undertale/Deltarune and, a remnant from my past, I still play Animal Jam. - Some fandoms I'm in include Doctor Who, Pokemon, Warrior Cats, and UT/DR.  - I take art requests! I will be very picky about what I draw, though. Check the rest of my content and see what I usually draw before sending an art ask; I'm unlikely to draw characters/media I'm not into. What You're Likely To See Here: I will update this section with links to my tags once I have them. Some links don't work; I will fix them at a later date. My Art: - Pokemon art - Furry art - Warrior Cats art (no link yet) - The occasional bit of UT/DR art, though I'm not very good at drawing the characters yet. - OC art; the Pavement Slab Multiverse - Random doodles, style experiments, and sketches - I may occasionally dabble in pixel art (see: my banner) - Art made in the Animal Jam Painting Minigame Reblogs And Non-Art: - Tagtot's Cool Art Reblogs for cool miscellaneous art I see - Tagtot's Pokemon Art Reblogs for cool pokemon art I see - Tagtot's UT/DR Art Reblogs for cool ut/dr art I see - Tagtot's Non Art Reblogs for anything else I reblog - Tagtot's Non Art Posts for anything I post that isn't an art piece :) What is the Pavement Slab Multiverse? Excellent question. It's my friendgroup's minecraft roleplay server. The first iteration was vampires; the current iteration is the zombie apocalypse; etc. Each iteration is essentially an AU with mostly the same characters. Any art I draw will be tagged with a specific tag for which iteration it's from. Usually I'll provide any needed context within the post. I won't be too egregious with posting my OCs, don't worry. Narrative art will probably be rare until I get better at drawing actual scenes. Any OC art I post for the moment will serve the purpose of Looking Cool or depicting a design, rather than telling a story. Okay, but why is it called that??? It was a stupid reference my boyfriend made to that one Doctor Who episode where a woman gets turned into a pavement slab. You know, Love and Monsters. That one. The name just sort of stuck 💀 I take Animal Jam commissions!!!  I mostly play Classic, but occasionally I play Classic, too. I might do comms for either game; feel free to ask. I reserve the right to say "no" or to cancel halfway through a comm, though. I will never take upfront payment; you will only pay when the comm is fully complete. Want a comm? DM me!  My AJ username is Tagtot, same as here. I accept a lot of different in-game things as payments or trades; including sapphires/diamonds, various pets, or certain other items I've been wanting in either version of the game. I'll work on making a comprehensive list of everything I'll accept to link here; in the mean time, we can discuss! I will also do ordinary comms outside of AJ, in return for AJ items/currency.  I go by tagtot or tagtot_ocelot almost everywhere. My pfp was drawn for me by a friend a couple of years ago! It's my pfp on almost every site. I think that's about it. Hi, Tumblr! (If I tagged this wrong, let me know, please!!)

I'm not gonna like I feel like some of the issues qtubbo is having is the fact that cc!tubbo has the same issues with social queues that the character has. I think some members of the server genuinely don't realise that that part of q!tubbos personality is just the content creator. He is incredibly intelligent but not emotionally, he is gonna find it hard to pick up om any hints that other islanders are mad at him

Hi Ano,

No absolutely, your own personality traits, weaknesses and strengths definitely influence your character and roleplay. It is then also not surprising that the characters that have conflict with q!tubbo are from creators that are not as familiar with cc!tubbo.

Moreover, I think that some things also come down to culture differences and how well the people know each other. Things that for example Tubbo sees as light banter, Bad might take more as serious roleplay. That Bad favours a light, subtle tone to his roleplay (outside huge angsty lore moments) muddies the water even further. Thinking about it, both Etoiles and Aypierre use a lighter, playful tone in conversations as well so that might make it even more difficult for Tubbo to pick up hints that something is amiss.

Compare that with Tubbo’s and Philza interactions, Phil is very blunt with Tubbo. Although their arguments are also quite light toned, Philza states and explains his objections very clearly to Tubbo. While Tubbo might not always heed his warnings, he does respect it and usually concedes if it is logical enough (especially if it is on a meta level). Because Phil understands that is something Tubbo needs which Bad understandably would not know yet as he is less familiar with Tubbo, more comfortable with emotional subtle roleplay and does not like to break the fourth wall. I also think the admins have been picking up on this, as they have begun just tp-ing and striking Tubbo with lighting if he is going places where is not meant to from a lore perspective. Instead of spawning hostile mobs like in the beginning or as they do with other qsmp creators.

(AO3 - prev)

Something is very off about this landscape, Etho thought to himself as he flew over forests and mountains, but I can't figure out what. No singular object looked out of place, and everything was located about where you'd expect; and yet, when flying over this world, the terrain almost seemed to blur by much faster than it should. He needed to find someone familiar, and fast.

After quite a bit of flying back and forth, Etho flew over a mesa and finally saw a familiar face; Jimmy, wandering around in what must be his base. He was hoping to find Joel, really-- he'd seen him on the player list earlier-- but Jimmy would do as well. He was getting a bit tired of flying anyway. He angled his body downward, preparing to land on the sand...

And hit the ground much faster than anticipated.

The armor he was wearing over the weird toga protected him from serious injury, but the fall still dazed him for a few seconds. Etho found himself laying in the sand, and saw Jimmy walking towards him; seemed like he noticed Etho's very undignified landing. Etho sat up, meeting Jimmy's eyes, who seemed... scared? Why would he be scared of someone he's just watched faceplant into a sand floor?

“Hey Jimmy,” Etho said, trying to sound casual. He got up fully, and only then noticed the extremely obvious fact that Jimmy only reached up to his waist.

“Hi, Joel...” Jimmy finally said, sounding very disturbed, “How's it going?”

“What?” Etho burst out laughing. “What is happening? Why am I like twelve feet tall now?” At least the weirdness of the terrain made sense now; Everything went by twice as fast because Etho was twice as big. And that explained why Jimmy looked so intimidated-

Then it hit him.

“Did you just call me Joel?”

“I- Yeah? What else am I supposed to call you, Colossus!?” Jimmy shouted back. His voice didn't sound the same as usual; he spoke with an American accent. Tango's accent, specifically.

“Wait. Wait a second, time-out.” Etho sat down on the ground to be eye level with... whoever he was talking to. “I look like Joel?”

“Well, yeah, if Joel lived in 1000 BC and- what do you mean you look like him? You are him!” Tango-- yep, definitely Tango-- responded.

“I look like Joel,” Etho said, mostly to himself. “And you look like Jimmy, by the way.”

Tango stared at him blankly. He looked down at his clothes. “I look like a cowboy.”

“Yep. You're Tango, but you look like Jimmy dressed as a cowboy. And I'm Etho, but I look like Joel dressed like a Greek god, apparently.”

Tango opened his mouth, then closed it again. Then said: “You're Eth- okay, that explains the accent, I guess. That does not explain... anything else about this. Why am I my soulmate, and why is my soulmate a cowboy?”

Etho thought about it for a while. Eventually, he concluded: “Grian messed up.”

“Grian messed up?”

Etho nodded. “Grian messed up, and somehow we ended up possessing Joel and Jimmy in their home server. They mentioned living in some kinda roleplay server, didn't they?”

Tango nodded as well. “This is true.” He sighed. “Okay. Sure. I'm fine blaming Grian for whatever the he-”

“Someone's coming.” Etho looked into the distance, where he saw someone approaching. Tango whirled around, and they both looked towards Gem as she landed on the ground. She looked different from usual; her antlers were gone, she was wearing a long pink dress, and orange butterfly wings seemed to sprout out of her back.

“Act natural!” Etho hissed to Tango. He knew people's memories could get jostled when traveling between servers, especially Lore-heavy ones, so it was entirely possible this version of Gem would have no idea what Hermitcraft even was.

Gem smiled at Tango. “Hello, Sheriff!” she said.

“Uh- hi, howdy, partner!” Tango responded, with what sounded like a cross between a British and a Texan accent. “What... can I do for-”

“Oh my god. Okay, Tango, I know it's you,” Gem interrupted him. “That accent was awful.”

“Oh, you do?” Tango replied, dropping the accent. “Amazing! Do you know what happened here?”

“Well, about as much as anyone else does. Something weird happened with your hardcore server, everyone's souls got swapped around, you know, normal stuff.” She shrugged. “Grian and Scar are working on reversing it, I think.”

“Grian and Scar?” Etho said. “That isn't encouraging.”

Gem huffed out a laugh. “Yeah, I wouldn't wanna be you right now. Anyway,” she said, spreading her arms wide, “Welcome to Empires! You guys are here as Jimmy and Joel, and Pearl is probably also around as Scott. I'm gonna check on them later. And I'm here too, and hopping back and forth to Hermitcraft all the time, so I could get messages between here and there if necessary. Got it?”

“Yeah,” Tango said, nodding fervently. “It's good to know we're not going crazy, at least.”

“Hmm, I wouldn't go that far,” Gem replied. “Well, I do have my own empire to run, so I'm gonna go there now. You guys can just... hang out, I guess.” Gem began to leave, then turned back around.

“Oh, one more thing. This is a roleplay server, and the other players are... very enthusiastic about it. They pretty much never break character. So if you encounter someone else, I'd say you should probably act like you are Joel and Jimmy, lest they make... a whole thing out of it. They were just starting a rivalry, I think. Alright, have fun!”

Then, Gem turned around and took off. Tango shouted after her: “And you're just gonna leave us with that?”

“What are you guys talking about?” an unfamiliar voice said from behind Etho.

Etho startled, got up and looked behind him to find the source of the voice. He didn't see anyone, but then remembered to look down. A bearded man wearing blue armor and a mossy green cape smiled up at him.

“Oh, you know, just...” Etho said, remembering what Gem mentioned. “Just... antagonising Jimmy, that's what I'm doing!” he pointed an uncertain finger at Tango's face, which was actually Jimmy's face. “You... you scoundrel!”

“What!” Tango responded. “I'm being antagonised! How dare you!” Tango responded, and shook a fist at Etho. Etho had to admit, he mimicked Jimmy's outraged face pretty well.

“Oh no!” the stranger responded. “Well, I don't want to get in the way of that, so I'll be gone quickly, I promise.” He didn't seem to realise anything was out of the ordinary. He also did not leave, but instead continued to look at Etho, making some kind of gesture with his hand. Etho stared blankly at him.

“Get down,” he stage-whispered to Etho.

“What?”

“Get down here, I wanna say something to you,” he whispered, making the gesture again. He was pointing to the ground, Etho realised.

“I thought you were leaving,” Etho said, but he sat down anyways. The other man grabbed his head.

“I've dropped Hermes off at your place. He can't wait to see his thunder daddy again,” the man whispered into his ear. Then, he reached down, and briefly squeezed Etho's butt.

“Okay, I'll talk to you later! Bye bye!” he yelled, and left just as suddenly as he'd arrived, leaving Etho sitting on the ground, speechless.

After a long ten seconds, Tango spoke up: “Did he just... what did he say to you?”

“I don't think you want to know.”

* * * * *

Staring at the face on the chat device's screen, Pearl took a moment to assess the facts. She had Scott's body, Scott's chat, and was in an unfamiliar player-built village that was likely to be Scott's base. Which was not in Hermitcraft.

“Grian, how on earth have you managed to do this?” she said to herself. She then used Scott's chat to check the player list of this new server. She recognised every name on the list; it seemed like the group from Empires.

Oh, Empires. What a beautiful fever dream that was, Pearl thought. Maybe she'd reminisce with some of the others later, when she saw them. But first, it'd probably be wise to get to the bottom of this situation. She narrowed the player list down to three people she'd like to see: Joel and Jimmy, in case they knew what was going on, or fWhip, in case he could reverse it with admin permissions. Then she unfolded the very colourful elytra she had on her, and started flying.

After a little bit, Pearl encountered someone else, flying in roughly the same direction as her. When she got closer, she immediately recognised him: it was Sausage, wearing a different outfit from last time, although equally regal.

“Alright, forget the list, I've gotta go talk to him. SAUSAGE!” she yelled, causing him to turn around in mid-air. The two of them circled downwards until they landed.

“Sausage! Hi! Oh my goodness, it's been so long!” Pearl said, excitedly.

“Hi Scott, what's up?” Sausage replied. “Didn't we talk last week?”

Oh, right. “Right. Okay, this is awkward, but I'm not actually Scott.”

“Really?”

“Nope. I'm Pearl!”

“Pearl... that's a nice name. Do you have new pronouns too?” Sausage asked, smiling. Pearl had to admit, that wasn't really the reaction she was hoping for.

“No- well, yes, but- this isn't a transition situation, Sausage. More like... a possession situation.”

Sausage gasped, and took a few steps backwards. “Possession?! Are you, like, a spirit that's taken over Scott's body?”

“Well, kind of... what, don't you remember your old friend Pearlo?”

“Hmm... sorry, let me think for a moment,” Sausage responded. “Nope, I don't remember any friends named Pearl. Unless you mean...” he stopped talking for a second. His eyes widened.

“No. Is it true? Are you... her?” his voice was suddenly softer, more gentle.

“Yes, I've just told you I was!” Pearl replied. She was stunned. Sure, Sausage was always pretty strongly affected by Lore, but forgetting about her this hard? Maybe Ren was right, maybe she really was cursed.

“Oh my... oh my goodness, that's amazing! You've returned to us!” Sausage said, back to his normal energetic voice. “We have to do something to celebrate... a feast. Would you like a feast?”

“I'm always down for a feast!” Pearl replied.

“Wonderful! Come on, let's get to Sanctuary. Follow me, please!”

---

“Sausage, you have got to give me a tour of this world after the feast,” Pearl said to Sausage as the two of them flew over a sea filled with pirate ships.

“Of course, I'd be happy to!” Sausage replied. Then he added, in that uncharacteristically quiet voice again: “If I may ask one question though... why Scott?”

“Well, I didn't get any choice in the matter, it was just picked randomly,” Pearl replied. “I probably would've chosen somebody else, to be honest. Scott's at least a better option than Jimmy though.”

Sausage laughed. “So true,” he said. “That's interesting though. I thought a goddess would have more power over that...”

Wait, what? Goddess? Before Pearl could ask any questions, sausage landed on the street of a beautiful city, next to a large cathedral.

“Here we are! I haven't actually prepared the feast, so I'm going to do that right now. Do you have any food you'd like to try?” Sausage asked.

“Hmmm... Soup! I love soup.”

“Soup?” Sausage repeated. “That isn't very feast-y, though...”

“No, but it is tasty. I like soup,” Pearl replied.

“Of course. You're right, I'm sorry. We can make soup! I'll get started right now. You could have a look around Sanctuary, or just take a rest in your cathedral, alright?” Sausage said. He was talking rather fast now.

“Do you need some help with that, or...”

“No, of course not! You're an honored guest, you don't have to do anything! I'll be back soon!” With that, Sausage dashed off. Pearl could still hear him talking giddily to himself.

“Well, alright then.” Pearl turned around to look at the building behind her. “My cathedral, huh...”

She stepped inside, and immediately her attention was drawn to the stained glass window in the back wall. It had a large artwork of herself, in the dress she used to wear as queen of Heliantia.

“Wow, he really wasn't lying,” Pearl said, as she strolled across the church and stepped onto the stage. There was a chair off to the side, where she sat down and stretched her legs. Or, rather, Scott's legs. That was still a very strange sensation. After a while, her chat device buzzed; a message from Gem.

GeminiTay whispered to you: Pearl?

You whispered to GeminiTay: HI GEM

GeminiTay whispered to you: oh it is you, good

GeminiTay whispered to you: Scott's in your body in hermitcraft too

GeminiTay whispered to you: where are you? I couldn't find you in Chromia

You whispered to GeminiTay: at sausage's

You whispered to GeminiTay: we're gonna have a feast

GeminiTay whispered to you: oh god

GeminiTay whispered to you: do you need rescuing?

Did she need rescuing? Sausage seemed to think she was a goddess, which was definitely weird, but a nice change of pace from being called a witch all the time. Plus, she could definitely cause some shenanigans with this knowledge. She could handle being Scott for a little while if it let her cause a bit of chaos.

You whispered to GeminiTay: nah

You whispered to GeminiTay: he's making SOUP!

You whispered to GeminiTay: you wanna join us?

This should be fun.
