     “that’s because i am.”   is that skepticism he detects?  chris flexes his fingers and rests his chin atop his knuckles.   “thank you for noticing.”

GET TO KNOW THE AUTHOR

NAME: Hart

PRONOUNS: She/her

PREFERENCE OF COMMUNICATION: Tumblr IMs, but I am very slow at responding. I am faster at sending comments on posts.

NAME OF YOUR MOST ACTIVE MUSE(S): Rust Cohle, my one and only!

EXPERIENCE/HOW LONG (MONTHS/YEARS?): I have been roleplaying since mid-2010, so that would be 12/13 years. Jesus Christ.

PLATFORMS YOU'VE USED: Tumblr, Discord, one-time on Facebook

BEST EXPERIENCE: I've had multiple, but this is the best experience I've had in the 2020s. I love all my partners/partners-to-be!

RP PET PEEVES/DEALBREAKERS: Double/triple spacing on replies because it's really hard to read, 10x10 icons for the same reason, general drama, and disregard for others' rules. I also think it's stupid when people expect you not to talk so much about your character when this is a RP blog for them, and of course, you're going to talk about them.

FLUFF, ANGST, OR SMUT: All three hold a special place in my heart, smut's just the one I have a really hard time writing (in detail because I can plot it just fine). It's hard to choose between the three because they're all part of the roleplay experience, and I like them all.

PLOTS OR MEMES: Both, but I have periods where my OOC communication is lacking, so memes are an excellent way to get us started, as it really helps develop character dynamics.

LONG OR SHORT REPLIES: Medium, but I can go either way. I prefer medium because I can do it faster.

BEST TIME TO WRITE: After dinner, with a show in the background. That's the best time for me to write, especially by hand.

ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S)?: Oh lord, I hope not — Nah, just kidding, I think we are similar in the way we view the world and how we are slowly believing more in humanity each day, and have a hard time keeping friendships or relationships because of the way we are. We're stupid but loveable.

“Yeah. It will stop when I fucking die.” Alex is not in the best of moods today, to put it politely. Getting back home is a great achievement, considering the fact that three months ago everyone was convinced he wasn’t going to make it, but Alex isn’t just content with being home. There’s no way he’s making it back to race for this season, and that really pisses him off. Against his doctors’ advice, he’s ventured out, and even making it down the stairs has caused him an unbelievable amount of pain. Alex leans against the wall, teeth gritted in agony. “I asking myself all the time, what’s the point that I lived, but I’m like this. Like---” He shrugs his shoulders, trying to find the words. “Broken.”

“You’re here because you want to be?” Dave’s nose crinkles at the thought. He hates everything about this place; he’d much rather lose a Grand Slam final than be here, and that’s saying something, given his competitive nature. “I mean--- good on ya, mate.” He’s not a good actor; the smile is forced, and he refuses to make eye contact with the stranger. His hands fidget with the pockets of his jeans, and all Dave can think about is how he’d rather be back on the court, getting in that valuable practice time for the next Open.

“I think it’s all--- it’s all a big misunderstanding, and I don’t... really need to be here. It all just got blown out of proportion in the press, because they just want to sell tabloids.” That’s his story and he’s sticking to it.

@splatteredfingers​  asked  :  👻 GHOST 💢 ANGER 📖OPEN BOOK for Sal

👻 GHOST - do they believe in ghosts? what are their "ghostly experiences", if any?

       Sal believes that there’s more to the world than what mankind knows, but he doesn’t necessarily believe in ghosts. He would personally say that he’s never had any supernatural encounters, but this isn’t true because his nightclub is haunted. The building served as a nightclub - and even a Speakeasy, long before Sal was born and during these different eras, people died. Whether it be gangsters taking someone to the backrooms, or the famed singer being shot by her boss, these miserable spirits linger on within the walls and have been the cause of events such as chills and sealed doors. For each of these unusual occasions, Sal always feels like there’s a logical reason behind it.

💢 ANGER - what are some habits they have that will take some getting used to?

He’s very loud, which can be grating if you’re a person who cares about maintaining a particular demeanor when it comes to public appearances. Sal also has the tendency of taking over conversations when having group conversations - as in, he’s the sort of person who takes up the spotlight - which can cause resentment and envy for numerous reasons, and if he can get away with it, Sal will eat late night snacks in bed which results in the bedsheets having crumbs scattered about. This is a habit Sal has actively tried to break, but when he gets late night cravings he wants to stuff his face and go back to sleep without traveling up or down the stairs.

📖 OPEN BOOK - do they like reading? what's their favourite genre?

The older he gets, the more he likes to read. He likes books on history (Mediterranean History) mythology (Greek Mythology) and some modern autobiographies if he deems them interesting or relatable in some way. So meaning, the author should be Italian-American, if not a New Yorker in general, and should cover topics he finds intriguing whether it be about sports, crime, cooking or dysfunctional family. Sometimes, he gets bored enough to check out the book on Eve’s nightstand, but he never gets past a few pages. This is because the romance genre does not interest him.

–MINI MOODBOARDS. // ACCEPTING. // @splatteredfingers

Like many men, Salvatore was fixated at the idea of having a son. He loved his daughters, of course, but the things he could do with a son were not things he could do with either Cassandra or Bianca. Surely there’s irony in the matter of him finally having a son - one he sees a lot of himself in, only to be aware, very aware, that the young man before him doesn’t truly acknowledge their shared blood.

      As cute as he looks posing in her glasses, she is a little concerned. “They look good on you yeah...but don’t wear them too long! They’ll give you a headache.” And she cannot see either, but she doesn’t really care about that.

“Good.”

The word is muffled by the tube Silas has between his teeth. He gives it a hard tug, grunting with the subsequent pinch that stings his bicep. He’s starting to lose feeling in his arm, his fingers tingling with the beginning of blood loss. He pays the sensation no mind as he tightens the band even more, until violet veins are bulging beneath his graying skin.

“In a minute,” is his answer to Daxton’s query. Trembling fingers reach across the mattress for the needle he’s already prepared. As the southerner lifts it up, his vision starts to go. It begins with small, dark dots around his periphery. Then, everything blurs together like watercolor paints. It occurs to him then that he might pass out if he doesn’t get this fix quickly. His hands shake more violently in turn, and he’s forced to drop the syringe.

“Fuck.”

He gives a shaky breath. “Baby, I need yer help.”

14 & 15

Questions for Muns of Canon Muses (ACCEPTING)

14. What is your ideal AU for your muse?

Honestly, I’ve had a chance to explore nearly all of them! I’m really lucky in that regard, and really glad I opened myself up to multiverse writing when I did.

I mean, I’ve played Hector as a modern and traditional vampire (livin’ out that TVD fantasy), as one of Daud’s whalers in Dunwall, as an actor in a Shakespearean caravan that travels the Wasteland, as Miles Upshur’s unfortunate boyfriend, as Dick Grayson’s way more fortunate boyfriend, as a coked-up celebrity in modern day NYC, as a world renowned thief a la Carmen Sandiego, as himself as he is in BioShock, only in the present day. Then there’s post-fall of Rapture, post-post-fall of Rapture, dad Hector, college student Hector, rehabilitated Hector, un-orphaned Hector, even ghost Hector.

When will I be stopped? Then answer is never.

15. What plots/interactions leave you feeling protective of your muse?

Hector has a number of vices and traumas that he struggles with on the daily. And, as he struggles with them--whether that’s through using, abusing, recovering, acting out, or relapsing--I get a little anxious thinking of what labels people might put on him. I’d hate for him to be regarded as a token alcoholic, a sad boi (tm), or a drama queen. 

I try to be as considerate, informed, and genuine as possible when I write about the things he’s been through, and the various ways he copes. I work hard to give him dimension, pave roads for growth, make his pain real, and his behavior at least believable. So, in situations where he’s particularly emotional, or in particular pain, or coping with any one of the things I’ve put him through, I do get protective of his image and humanity.

Saturday night after closing was an evening of cleaning and making sure everything was set. While it was standard procedure after closing for Andrew to clean, he was doing so much more thoroughly for the visitor he would be having the next day. He told Wyatt and Naomi as well, making sure the two had their stations up to extreme levels of clean, and made sure Laura would have the front clean to help Andrew out (God bless her soul.)

Even his parents were in on it, and supported his decision and gave their input which came down to “it’s your shop, your eye.”

By the following morning everything was cleaned to the best of the crew’s abilities and Andrew was in the shop by eleven o’clock. He picked up breakfast before hand and decided to do a final look over before settling down and turning on the TV to the rerun of Iron Man 3 that he had seen five times before. Fork in hand and his phone on the couch, Andrew settled down to enjoy the next projected half hour before he would have his guest.

he’s a little early for his appointment at the knot standard. but ben knows the owner; he’s been a loyal customer over the years, and knows it wouldn’t do much harm. as he enters the store, the plush emerald green carpet greets his feet and the bustle of nyc is suddenly blocked out. a slender man with a tape measure around his shoulders comes out to greet him almost immediately, a warm smile on his face. 

          “ah, mr. callahan! wonderful to see you again! i’m with another client at the moment, but we’re to finish up shortly. would you like something to drink while you wait?”

          “no, that’s alright, jack, thanks. mind if i watch your mastery at work?” a grin from both men as they enter the side fitting room where there is a young man standing on the small podium - one of jack’s assistants at work.

ben takes his suit jacket off, hanging it neatly on the back of the chair as he gives the young man a warm grin, crossing his arms as he watches jack go back to work. 

it’s an odd sort of...connection. getting a custom suit, and all at once, strangers or not, you’re in a unique sort of club.

          “first time here?” he asks, nodding at the man. “hey, jack, you might want to shorten his right sleeve there.” glances back over at the man, “jack here - he does great work. you’ll want to come back and then realize that the man is getting a big chunk of your paycheck.” an amused laugh from all of them as ben grins. “ --...but, you come back anyways.”

👠

character appearance meme.

👠 What kind of shoes does your character usually wear in daily life?

It honestly depends on Eve’s mood! In general, she tends to be very over the top with her clothing and her shoes are no exception. Since she isn’t very tall, she tends to wear heels (3/4inches minimum) but she is also a big fan of glitter sneakers and her balenciaga crocs. Recently she has also been wearing lots of knee high boots. As for colors, she tends to go for bright pinks, silvers, and holographic.

      “Dude, did you see Simple Plan on TRL?” Placing the dark disc into the case it belongs, Ben asks this. There is no point in making conversation with the customer but, it is not in Ben’s nature to stay casually silent if something relevant comes to mind. “They sung a little bit of B.Y.O.B. which was like...so weird to me. Because they’re like, a band I associate with little kids, y’know? It’s like, wow. You guys can sing some heavy, big boy stuff? I mean...you guys know about heavy, big boy stuff??”
