#if u read this reply to this post / rb and write in the tags who ur fav person is and (optionally) what u love abt them

[6okuto]

🥭🍑for @dira333 from my fruits basket :D (will do the onigiri q's and writing in separate posts!)

🥭 a personal letter (typed ver. below)

the question i didn't want to write out: the royal ball tag game - you show up in your colourful dress, and as you linger by the food trying to pick a dessert, you feel a pair of eyes on you. he’s been building up the courage to 1) recommend his favourite dish and or 2) compliment your dress, and maybe this is his chance. who is the mysterious guy?!

also!! did you have a favourite 1d album or song? :3

typed version in case you can't read my poor handwriting.

DIRA!! hai friend! i'm not too sure when i followed you, but i know you've been here for a while. one time i posted for the first time in a long while and you said something about meaning to check on me earlier. i don't think i replied then, but it meant a lot to me to hear 🙁🩷

your soulmate fics! i've been reading... keiji 🩷 when u switch dreams w/ him. the intro had me HOOKED!! and it was so keiji. loved it lots! will try to rb w/ tags later. i hope you're proud of your works because they're really so good! and the ones inspired by/for me MEAN THE WORLD! AAAHH!!!

your creativity, kindness, outgoing...ness? never cease to amaze me. i wish i could dissect your brain, or steal it and your ability to be such a welcoming comforting presence. thank you for every ask, reblog, fic, and for being my friend. i hope i can give back even a quarter of your energy!

Q'S FOR YOU!

is there any chores you especially like or dislike?

do you write grocery lists, or hope and improvise?

what song(s) would you use to currently describe your life?

do you have fave colours or animals?

thank you for joining dira! 🩷🩷🩷

🍑 a moodboard...for myself?!

?!?! I'm honoured. the first example in the original post is me and keiji, but here's me and tamaki! 🙆🏻‍♀️

and you might think gosh nia these colour palettes and vibes are all so similar. well i raise you this thought: their common denominator is me. anyway. shy crushes until i make the first move (middle pic), quiet dates, trying new restaurants, cheering each other on while we battle our demons (anxiety and lacking self esteem), etc etc.

& G U I D E L I N E S. FOR MOBILE

welcome to a multimuse loved dearly by binx (they/them, but will also respond to she. 21+ and CST.) I work fulltime as a pediatric pharmacist and have very limited time to be active on tumblr much, therefor I rely on a queue system to get me through workdays. aside from lack of freetime, my health often staggers me from doing anything due to a lot of pain and immense anxiety. If you do not like waiting quite a bit for replies, then I am not the writing partner for you sadly. 

credits. my blog theme was crated by MARUJA/HYRULESHOP with the link on the bottom right corner of the page. my icon border is made by poetryrph, and the psd was made by me. gold/yellow/pastel purple/blues.

this blog runs off of mutual exclusivity to interact. unfortunately my draft count is super high and i have to limit myself to what i can realistically take on in my small free time. i ask that if we do not have a mutual basis (aside from the exception of sideblogs) please do not interact with my starter calls / send in memes to interact. i also tend to hardblock personals who spam my posts or rb things not intended for personal fanfiction.

please to not pressure me to reply faster or into a ship. sometimes i go all week without a single post other than ooc updates. those who are in the medical field would understand my levels of exhaustion. i never ignore anyone, dms or discord, including posts tagged for me - tumblr eats things and i am most likely napping. please have chemistry or some sort of partnership with me before assuming a ship.

no hate zone, none what so ever. this again falls under the lines of me having 0 time to even know whats happening on the internet/tumblr itself. if i am writing with someone known to be problematic please let me know. i don’t involve myself with callouts even if they are helpful, and anon is off to keep unwanted issues even if it’s to bait drama. 

triggers. this goes with the rule listed above, vague blogging and callouts actually spike my anxiety pretty bad. i deal with a lot of negativity within my workplace and rely on this place to be safe for me. aside from this, i ask for all topics and images tagged regarding: spiders, eye gore, domestic abuse, pregnancy, and trypophobia.

i do not do commissions for edits / borders / etc. i just casually make things as i feel inspired. if anything it helps me ignite muse. if you need commissions i’d be happy to reference @hyruleshop.

let’s be kind to each other. that is all. always feel free to message me if you feel a need to connect muses, or just chat.

Little Things (Tom Holland x reader)

a/n: this is for @rosyparkers​ writing challenge!! italics are flashbacks, bold is the prompt!! again i hope u enjoy this im sorry it’s been like 10 years since i’ve posted something lmao also big thank u to @sunshinehollandd​ for reading this over!!

warnings: a lil angst, scared of opening up/being vulnerable, other than that it’s fluffy fluff 

prompt: “Do you want to know the hardest thing about having a soulmate? It’s not the separation in the beginning, not the endless nights lying awake, hoping and praying that someone was made for you. It’s…it’s the love. It’s too strong, and you can’t fight it. I’ve tried. Believe me, I’ve tried…but I’m always going to love you. And I need you to know that.”

“You ready, my love?” Tom held his hand out to you as the dj announced it was time for your first dance, his brown eyes radiating a type of warmth that brought you comfort when you needed it most. You placed your hand in his and allowed him to guide the two of you to the dance floor, his hands going to your waist while you wrapped your arms around his neck. 

“Have I told you how beautiful you look tonight?” He asked, his voice so soft only you could hear it. 

“Only a million times.” You smiled, hiding your face in his neck. It amazed you that even after years of dating he still had that effect on you. 

“I’ll tell you a million more times, then.” He smiled, pressing a soft kiss to your head. “You look absolutely beautiful.”

“Not so bad yourself.” You replied, a small smile on your lips as your mind wandered to when you first met Tom and how far you came with him. 

“What are you thinking about?” Tom chuckled. 

“How do you know I’m thinking about something?” 

“You have that look on your face. The one you make when you’re deep in thought.” He told you, pressing another kiss to your head. “Everything okay?” 

“Mhmm. Just thinking about how far we’ve come.” You told him honestly. 

“We have come a long way, huh?” He smiled. “Remember when we first met?” 

“How could I forget?” You chuckled, your mind replaying the day you met him as if it was yesterday. 

The first snowfall of the season and you were in your room studying for an exam. Not ideal at all but you had this big exam coming up that you just couldn’t fail so you had to study as much as you could-

“y/n?” Your roommate poked her head into your room, a hopeful smile on her face. “How much studying do you have to do?”

“Ermm a lot, why?” You asked, flipping through your study guide so far. 

“Was thinking we could go out in the snow, at least for a little bit?” She grinned. 

“I don’t know, I still have a lot of studying to do-” 

“You’ve been studying all day! Come on, you need a break.” She argued, making you sigh. 

“I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to take a quick break. But only for a little bit!” You gave in, making your roommate cheer as the two of you got ready to brace the cold winter air. 

“It’s so pretty.” Your roommate said, her voice almost a whisper as the two of you took in the scene while you walked to the nearby park. 

Light, fluffy snow fell from the sky, landing softly on the ground around you as well as on your faces. For a moment when you looked up at the night sky, seeing glimpses of the stars and the snow falling, all your worries and obligations washed away, bringing on a sense of peace. 

The two of you arrived at the park, seeing other people there, all enjoying the snow. People were making snow angels and snow men, while others were having a snowball fight. 

“Hey check this out!” You roommate called, laying down in the snow and making a snow angel, sitting up when she was done. “How’s it look?”

“Not bad.” You laughed, bending down and molding some snow into a ball. “But unfortunately this snowball is too good not to be thrown and you’re the target so..”

Your roommate stood up and fortunately for her but unfortunately for you, she moved out of your way right as you let go of the snowball, allowing it to crash into the man right behind her. 

“Oh shit!” You gasped as he turned around, a look of confusion and slight amusement on his face while your roommate was hysterically laughing off to the side. “I’m so sorry!”

“That meant to be for her?” He chuckled, making you nod. 

“I’m so sorry, I tried to throw it at her but she moved at the last minute and-”

“Hey don’t worry about it.” He assured you. “I’m Tom.” 

“y/n.” You replied. “Really is there any way I could make it up to you?”

“Really it’s fine.” He laughed. “But I am getting cold so I was gonna go across the street and get a tea, if you’d like to join.”

“Sure, but I’m paying for yours.” You insisted, making Tom smile. 

“Pretty sure I’m supposed to pay for yours.” He tried, but you shook your head.

“No, no. It’s my treat. I’m the one who hit you with a snowball, after all.” 

“You looked so cute that night. The snow was falling and sticking to your eyelashes and the moonlight was hitting you just right. God, you looked like an angel. Still look like an angel.” He sighed. 

“Yeah an angel who didn’t let you in for a long ass time.” You chuckled. “‘M not sure what you did but you made me open up to the idea of being vulnerable and open to someone else. I hadn’t really done that before you.”

It had been almost eight months since the snowball incident and to your surprise, Tom was your (very caring) boyfriend. It sort of came as a shock to you when he asked you to be his girlfriend. You definitely had strong feelings for him, no doubt about it. But you weren’t good about expressing them. Tom liked to talk about his and open up his heart to you while you liked to keep your heart guarded and show you cared with smaller actions. 

Tom was patient, though. He was patient and caring and understanding and it made your heart swell within your chest to the point that you weren’t even sure if you could keep it to yourself. He didn’t rush you into opening up or being vulnerable, but he noticed the small smile that formed on your lips whenever you showed him a song or meme that reminded you of him. He noticed the way your eyes sparkled with pride when you successfully made his favorite meal to surprise him after a long day. 

You noticed the little things Tom did too. Like how he always took off his jacket and wrapped it around your shoulders if you were out on a date and you got cold. Or how he always offered to walk or drive you home before you moved in and if he couldn’t or if you drove yourself, he would tell you to drive safe and to text him when you got home. 

“All those little things you did just made me fall even more in love with you.” He laughed softly. “Maybe I rubbed off on you a little bit.” 

“Maybe.” You sighed, your head resting gently on his shoulder. “You told me you loved me all the time, it probably rubbed off on me little by little until I said it.” 

A year and a half after a snowball resulted in you meeting the man of your dreams, you and Tom were still going strong, but you were scared. Tom had told you he loved you so many times yet you couldn’t find yourself to say those three little words back. 

“I love you.” He would say. “You’re my soulmate.” 

You loved him, you know you did. But despite Tom telling you all the time how much he loves you and that you were his soulmate, you were still scared. What if you said it and he rejected you? What if the two of you broke up and you were open and vulnerable for no reason? 

It happened one night when you were laying in bed, your head resting on Tom’s chest, playing with hands, lost in thought. 

“What’s on your pretty little mind, hm?” He murmured, pressing his lips to your forehead softly. 

“Nothing.” Lie. You were actually thinking about how much you loved him and how lucky you were to have him in your life, but the thought of opening up like that terrified you. You fell in love the way you fall asleep, slowly and then all at once. 

“Do you want to know the hardest thing about having a soulmate? It’s not the separation in the beginning, not the endless nights lying awake, hoping and praying that someone was made for you. It’s…it’s the love. It’s too strong, and you can’t fight it. I’ve tried. Believe me, I’ve tried…but I’m always going to love you. And I need you to know that.” He said softly, as if he could read your mind. 

“How do you know you’ll always love me, though?” You asked. “That’s a long time.”

“Darling I fall more in love with you every day.” He chuckled. 

“It’s just,” you started, not thinking about the words that left your mouth next. “I do love you but I’m scared. I don’t like being vulnerable like that, you know this.” 

Tom paused before he let out a soft laugh, a sense of ‘I knew it’ mixed with confusion taking over your body. 

“What?” You asked, starting to get mildly defensive. 

“Baby you just said you loved me.” He smiled, making your eyes widen. 

“I did?”

“Mhmm. Also said you were scared and didn’t like being vulnerable.” He mumbled against your head, his thumb rubbing over your knuckles softly. “Being vulnerable is what makes us human, lovey. ‘S okay to open yourself up, especially to me.” 

“What if you didn’t feel the same way?” You glanced up at him, a small smile on his lips. “What if we broke up?”

“Neither of those are even possibilities.” He assured you. “I love you too much.” 

You paused before responding. “I love you too.”

As the song came to an end, you found yourself overwhelmed with love and felt tears involuntarily fill your eyes. Tom frowned lightly when he saw the tears, pausing to hold your face in his hands gently, concern in his eyes.

“What’s wrong, hm? Regret marrying me already?” He teased, making you laugh softly. 

“No. ‘M just really happy. I really love you. Don’t think I’ll ever stop.” You murmured, the concern and frown on Tom’s face being replaced with pure love and adoration. 

“Good, darling, because you’re stuck with me forever now.” He replied.

“I wouldn’t want it any other way.”

[gringolet]

that italian?

okay okay okay i think it happened long enough ago that i can dish about the drama. she changed her url and im not including it anyway so its fine.

prepare for a fuckin. essay in responss to a TWO WORD ask but anyay

so once upon time there was an italian who hated children and loved reylo. she also hung out in the arthuriana tag and got a bunch of asks about it. so one day some poor anon comes in and asks if she has any trans headcanons for arthurian characters, and she, instead of being a normal person and saying like, no, she goes off about how trans characters in fanfic is forced representation and she cant talk about trans people bc surgery is triggering for her.

found this in the archives lol. so i rbd politely explaining that while it was fine to not have trans hcs, her justifications for it were a little offensive.

hey i dont want to start discourse or anything but i see ur asks in the tag a lot and i wanted to politely address this. firstly obviously no one is under any obligation to hc things, and headcanons and fandom is not activism. if you’d just said “no, not really” it would b fine. i mean, cringe of u, but fine. but u make a couple of points here i want to look at a bit critically. then there is “I don’t like when headcanons are pushed up as ~representation, especially when… Ehm, it’s just fandom stuff?” i dont want to misinterpret you or put words in your mouth, but the implication that theres no need for trans rep in fandom and dismissal of that is a very cis take. My initial read of your intention there was a complaint of ‘why should something like fandom spaces, which are for fun and not serious, be filled with non fun serious (bad) trans stuff that i have to see when im trying to enjoy myself.’ now that could be incorrect, you were a bit vague here. if that is what you meant, i think you maybe should examine why you feel that way. if it isnt, im unclear on what exactly youre trying to say here. the idea that trans hcs are performative wokeness and “representation” in fandom is completely ignoring the actual trans people making and wanting them. there is so vanishingly little representation of trans people in actual media and even less thats good, and i think implying trans hcs are being pushed on people and fandom for, ~representation (a world of meaning in the ~ i shant speculate on) is very dismissive and ignorant of that fact. honestly the main thing im troubled by is the idea that trans bodies are inherently disgusting and triggering, which is an incredibly harmful and hurtful idea, and since you yourself acknowledge that trans people and hcs dont predicate surgery i question why you bring it up, except as a justification for disconfort rooted in unexamined prejudice. im not accusing you of being a terf or anything, i dont believe you meant harm by this or have bad intentions, and im definitely not saying anyone has to hc anything. it was the uncomfronted insidiousness of your justification that concerned me. this is not a personal attack at all, you just have a lot of influence in this fandom space and i wanted to make you aware of some of the surely accidentally harmful things ur saying.

so she flips out and rbs that yelling at me and cursing me out in italian (she moved blogs so i dont have her whole response just bits)

basically she completely derailed the original topic and accused me of calling her a horrible person for her triggers? which i never did and would never do, and then tried to make it a wierd anti v proshipper thing

third: I never said there’s no need of trans hcs in fandoms, BUT I’ve noticed that there’s a tendency of condemning people on the basis of what they ship / the dynamics they write. ( like the infinite discourse about how ‘I ship only mlm enemies to lovers because f/m enemies to lovers are Inherently Bad and Abusive - something I personally heard on Twitter sigh ), so I feel the need to say it. blame the current fandom climate.

and were like wow, this lady is unhinged, so we look around her blog and find a. a lot of stuff like saying its racist to not like incest?? and that italians arent white?? also shes a swerf?? and kind of deniel italian colonialsm? and reblogs from a bunch of out and out terfs} there was more but this isnt a callout post lol.

valentine lanzelet made a post about this crazy italian we found and she flipped out on him (this is one of several cursey italian tag rants)

roughly means: GO SHIT YOURSELF (italian alternative to go fuck you), RACIST TERF IS YOUR GRANDMOTHER IN A WHEELBARROW (italian saying which does not translate well) AND WHAT HAS ITALIAN COLONIALISM TO DO WITH THIS YOU UGLY SHIT, and anyways lancelot sucks

(translated by claudio beheaded)

anyway so then. and this is when it gets unhinged. she goes on this server me and a lot of my mutuals n friends r in, camelot, and starts complaining about me.

(in red is the server admin, who was lovely) i asked her to move this convo to dms if she must bc it was rude to bring drama into the server, and she refused, and started insisting that she was being bullied and just wanted to be left alone, so i was like okay lets all block each other and move on, and she refused, continuing to defend everything she was being criticized for

they also said claudio was making them look bad by translating their rants which like... queen if that made them look bad they were already a bad look.

so she keeps pinging people and replying to shit despite everyone else at this point begging her to just drop it and call it a stalemate

imagine this but around n around for like an hour. also she repeatedly got me and valentine confused it was super funny. also she claimed it was an invasion of her privacy for valentine to go on her public blog and look at the things she openly said and rbd there

so the server got put in slow mode and she KEPT GOING even though everyone was just begging her to stop and not even responding

as u can see, around this point we just started spamming her with emoji reactions. she announced she was leaving then went back to arguing a full three times before finally dipping from the server

then she continued complaining about us and calling us puriteens in her tags (trying to make it a proshipper v anti thing i guess lol?)

for literally months before finally remaking. also in that time she got in an argument about how the crusades were fine actually. italianphobia works hard but she works harder i guess

anyway i prolly left out a lot but thats the italian saga

[wh6res]

omg I absolutely LOOOOVE your works!! I have also started writing stuff on Tumblr although I'm a bit shy to reveal it yet. do you have any tips on increasing followers??

AWW CONGRATS BABY!! im so happy for you and i hope you're doing well uwu. my tip for increasing followers is

consistency. i think it helps tremendously to have your works reach the tags (which is so fucking ugh considering the tags are so wonky sometimes). this isnt to say u should have a blurb written everyday (tho there's nothing wrong with that too) but you know a blurb or 3 per week for me is good 🤩 we all have a life outside tumblr anyway.

expanding the genre you write for. its always great trying new things!! you cant go wrong with that because it helps your writing to reach a wider audience (lmao this is ironic coming from me bc i only write dc but hng shh nvm abt that)

be yourself. i think this is the most important. just be yourself and enjoy what you're doing and the vibes you exude will naturally pull the right people to you

but in all honesty, although i really really appreciate people who follow me (i love you my babies) its the feedback that's important to me. i can have a bajillion followers but if i have no feedback? i dont think ill survive long.

thats why, to readers who are reading this, that lil rb with comments in the tags, hitting up the writer's askbox to scream abt their work, or just replying to the post itself means so much.

[madd-information]

Hi, I just found out that there is an entire community for maladaptive daydreamers here and it’s so relieving.!! Bc I feel less alone. I just created a blog to rb and interact with everyone but I’m not sure how the community works at all. Like the tags, and the names used like paras and so. Could u give me an explanation how things work around here? Like things I should keep in mind and how to inset myself in the community:) thank u so much by the way

I’ll do my best!

@babydollsmadd has a good list of MD tags HERE.  Avoid using #MDD, that’s the major depressive community and were well established before we ever showed up. If you want your posts to be seen you should always use tags, people often search specific tags rather than rely on their home feed to show them what’s new in the community. #actuallymadd and #maladaptive daydreaming seem to be the most active.

I have a post detailing some of the common terms HERE and many other blogs have their own glossaries, HERE’S one by @chaosdreamchronicles.

Overall the MD community is very welcoming.  You’ll see a mix of posts, some focus on positivity, some are vent posts, some informative, some detail their struggle or treatment and some focus on creativity by posting art of their characters/paras and some offer their blog space as an anonymous outlet for others. 

You will come across some blogs that dislike their posts being shared outside of the MD community, they will usually announce this in the post in some way using a banner or the tagging system; read the tags of posts, they very often add supplemental information or context about what you’re reading. If there are no tags keep in mind it may be a post they did not intend to reach any further than their followers and reconsider if it’s appropriate to reblog. 

Read bios and descriptions, people will often detail who they a comfortable interacting with.  Things like not being comfortable interacting with bloggers of a certain age or blogs who often post material they are not comfortable seeing on their feed. 

People also appreciate trigger warnings if you’re going to be posting material that may warrant one.  I’m really not the best person to ask about Tumblr etiquette when it comes to this topic though, being what I am I almost never use trigger warnings.  Followers might request that you tag certain material, some might even ask you if there’s anything they should tag, how you handle it is up to you, sometimes people may have to block you for their own mental health, sometimes you may have to block others, it’s just what needs to be done sometimes and there’s no shame in it. 

As far as following/interacting, here’s what I’ve done;  I like and reblog a lot of posts, anything that seems relevant to the direction of my blog. I reply to whatever I am able to and I ask my followers to weigh in with their experiences and opinions. And I follow a lot of people.  I follow back anyone who follows me but when I’m following someone cold I check their blog and only hit that button if MD is specifically mentioned in their name, description or bio or if they have specifically reblogged a post titled something like “reblog if you’re a madd blog” (I don’t want to accidentally ‘out’ anyone). On a side note, try not to get too upset if someone asks you to unfollow them, I’m a little lax with my follows and people have to DM me to unfollow them sometimes when I’ve hit that button blind. It happens and it’s not personal. 

And I use asks! A lot.  Ah, I see a few followers out there thinking “hmm, do you? I’ve never gotten an ask from madd-information”.  Yes, you probably have.  Asks are wonderful because you and click the little anonymous button and no one will know who sent it. I don’t have a personal blog so when I feel like sharing those things I do it anonymously through other blogs. And sometimes I just send fan mail, don’t be afraid to show support or appreciation for a blog you’ve been stalking, asks are almost always welcome in our tightknit little community. 

Submissions are a little different, not everyone will have button turned on and they can be used in a few different ways.  You can use them to create content somewhere when it’s not particularly relevant to your own blog, particularly for blogs more focused on curating content for the community rather than chronicling the experiences of the blog owner, like a few of the ones linked above. And on some blogs you can use them to advertise, I’ll let those people make themselves known in the notes.  

My blog is one of those you can advertise on;  If you have links to an MD resources or information you can use the submissions button to write your own post about it and have it shared here, which can be helpful for smaller blogs who may not otherwise be seen very widely. I’ll approve requests for MD information as well, you may need the aid of the wider community rather than just me and can use submissions for that rather than asks. If you want to plug your MD community, Youtube channel, website or art, I also approve those or, as the case is here, if you’re a new blog you can also submit an introduction post and pick up a few followers that way. I do reblog introduction posts when I see them, but I don’t always see them and this can help if you’re one who fell through the cracks. 

As wonderful as this community is we do disagree and argue.  The content reflected here may not always be what you need.  You may be using creativity and positivity to cope with your MD and find vent posts pull you down to a dark unhelpful place.  You may be someone who needs to vent and distance yourself from daydream content and find posts with a more positive spin enable problematic behavior in you.  Sometimes we get frustrated and lash out at one another. It’s important to remember that we are a community of all different ages, sexes, nationalities, genders, cultures, socio-economic status’ etc and within that we are a community of people with very different experiences of MD, different in the severity, different in the causes and different in our approaches to dealing with it. Be considerate, try to forgive, everyone here is your future best friend and we’re very glad you found us.

BEFORE WE START.

HI! I’m Alex! I’m 22, I’m a demigirl ( she / they )! This is my first foray into writing Portia publicly, but I’m excited to share my feelings about her! I’ve also been rping for 10+ years, and been on tumblr for around 8+ years. If I seem familiar it’s probably because I am, is what I’m saying. I have had a SHIT TON of blogs. I love reconnecting with old friends so if you think we knew each other hit me up! Or even if you think we could get along! Overall, please be kind to me and I’ll be kind in return! I have commissions if you like my graphics, by the way. Okay. I’m done with this. Here are the rules!

FULL DISCLOSURE.

        As per usual, I am obviously not Portia. We have similar personalities but she might think differently than I do, as such MUN DOES NOT EQUAL MUSE. Please keep that in mind! I’m also not like... Active? In The A//rcana community? That is to say, there’s probably definitely some stuff that I don’t know about just generally community-wise. Please be easy on me! I don’t know shit, my man! Not a fuck!

INTERACTION.

I AM NOT FAST.      I have no excuse for this, sometimes executive dysfunction is a thing. I’m sorry.

ALWAYS ASK FOR CLARIFICATION.       A lot of my RP shenanigans occur on skype, discord, or kik. If you’re ever lost or confused about what I’m talking about please don’t be afraid to hit up my ask! I love when everyone’s included.

ALL SMUT UNDER READ MORES IF I EVEN DO IT.       I don’t mind NSFW, though like I hardly ever write it? If I do, I will need to like... Talk to the person I’m smutting with beforehand. I will never ever do anything that doesn’t consent, or is categorized in any way as pedoph//ilia, best//iality, or inc//est. I don’t RP smut with minors. Non-negotiable.

DON'T BE AN ASSHOLE..         We’re living in horrible times where people can be very hateful. Homophobia of any kind, transphobia, or any otherwise bigoted actions towards any minority will result in a hard block. Period.

INTERACTING.       There are some people who I have grown to dislike in the RPC. Whether we’ve had a falling out or they’ve done things to my friends or me personally. I won’t disclose names for their privacy and out of respect for them, but please know I will be uneasy around certain people. I might not respond if you start talking about these people, and please tag every URL you interact with, as some mentions of those URLS make me incredibly uncomfortable. Please, just be kind and patient with me on this front.

PUT REBLOGGED ASKS INTO A SEPARATE THREAD.       Reblogged asks used as a thread look weird & clogs up the dash. I will occasionally reblog asks purely for saving purposes. You can do so too, but don’t continue the thread in the ask. Thanks!

ON PERSONALS.        I love you, but please do not share ( reblogs or otherwise ) anything unless I specifically say it’s okay to. This includes ooc posts and ic posts. I will be specific about it, ‘ok to rb’ will be in the tags. You are free to like it to your heart’s content and I absolutely accept asks from personals or anons. 

I AM THE ONE WHO PSDS.     Unless otherwise stated or credited, everything is made by me. I don’t use fanart for icons unless the person has stated that they’re okay with it, otherwise all my art comes from official sources. I do not claim to own this art, because I do not own it.

I’M SELECTIVE, BUT I STILL LOVE YOU!      ...It’s not you, it’s me. I’m shitty. Even if we’re mutuals or not, feel free to strike up a convo in my ask or IMS! I’ll still RP with a non-mutual, but the chances of me replying faster are less likely. I just... RP better with people I know.

I TYPE LIKE AN ELITIST PRICK.       My formatting is small ( not super small, still readable like this ) formatted text, and icons that I’ve made myself. I ask that you try and match me, and even if you can’t I’d still love to RP with you. I just want to let you know I do have a format preference. If you can’t match that for any reason that’s fine.

That’s it! No passwords! Have a good day.

why did you choose your url?

i wanted to change from ‘imshiber’ to something else & at the moment [blank]gf urls were like.. the most popular one. so i picked my ult group bc i cant pick just one and ateezgf was created :D sometimes i think about changing it but this has become my brand.

just a private writing blog for me and alex ^^

why did you start your blog in the first place?

mmmm this started off as an muse/rp blog (again, just for alex really) but then i started phasing out of it with sideblogs and just keeping this main one a kpop one! 

why did you choose your icon/pfp?

because it’s one of my favorite hendery pics at the moment :D i might change it to a new san photo i got sent but that means changing the color layout too~

no direct arguments? i dont like arguing but i’ll occasionally post my feelings on something & answer an ask or two that comes in about it. but i dont rly fight with blogs on here 

unless ur name is alex chawoongs then i’ll fight u on main and on priv, what’s up >:(

how do you feel about ‘you need to reblog this’ posts?

uhhh they’re fine? like usually it’s to bring awareness to something, but i just hate the ones that try to guilt trip you into reblogging. like the ones that are like “if you don’t rb this, you dont care!!” like that isnt true.. at all. im just kind of whatever about them i guess

do you like tag games?

i do !! sometimes i forget to do them & when i remember them, it’s already been so long and i feel awkward doing them NGSKJFD. it’s like texting back
