🤔Ok, important question:
Your opinion on…
1️⃣ @dropout-if
2️⃣ @apt502-if
3️⃣ @pavedinashes-if
4️⃣ @thedoover-if
5️⃣ @loveandleases
Dropout: It is everything I dreamed of and more. I am in love with it. I enjoy Izzy's writing. I love what she's delivered so far. I am so curious to see the game in action. I love all the ROs. All of them -- even Staler has one me over.
Apt 502: I haven't played it. I don't follow it as much anymore, but I remember finding the ROs intriguing. New Girl and Friends weren't my jam, but I love slice of life -- and that it has THREE black characters?? Love to see it. I support anyone black 2q3q A lot of my moots and followers are really into it!
Paved in Ashes: I keep meaning to give this a thorough check out. But I have not had the chance. Sports IFs/stories aren't usually my thing [don't @ me for the football romances I've read -- they were polyam .... i also support anything polyam 32q2 3e2e :-P]. But I know a few moots who are SO excited for it, and I'm excited for them. I cheer for shit that makes my lovely tumblr pals happy! Even if it isn't for me. But like I said, time and focus has not been in my favor. I promised that I'd give it a chance, so I will! I do remember thinking the aesthetics were cool [im not usually into purple but something about that shade stuck with me]. And I gotta clap for anyone who can balance that many ros at once.
The Do Over: I'm sorry I don't know a lot about it. I remember though looking forward to it. Brain rots and work has kept me from diving into it. But I am a sucker for second chances slice of lifes. And I luuuurve that it has an older oc? And I love the design of the blog? Did the writer/creator do it themselves. Because the vibe! Ugh, the aesthetics are just pulling me in. I feel like it is because I am IN LOVE with the RO moodboards? 'First EVER.' Pfft, okay sure! Blow us out the water then. What're you gonna be making with more practice if those are FIRST EVER. SADLY, TIME! wers weeps. It is most certainly on my roster tho.
Love and Leases: Isaac *kissies* It is also on my roster! I admit I don't follow it as ardently [haha] as I used to, once I started working again [vacation time, I miss you!] and BG3 dropped. But it is one I have a finger on. I definitely thought, and think, the premise is so daring -- and that the 'culprits' so to speak still have a place in the story? I just love that sorta emotional exploration. I have a soft spot for M, Kara, and Isaac. And it will be cool to meet them! And Ardent managed to catch my eye [not as a romance], even tho I don't usually like the type of character. Very. Rarely. So I feel that's kudos to the creator!

hiiii haha. hello. exceptionally awkward introduction bc idrk how to start something like this so let's just jump right in. im taking a break from this account for a bit. i know i said i wanted taob out before halloween and currently im fine sticking with that deadline, but if i decide i need longer away then i will take longer away. every time ive reassured people that id never abandon a fic and updates will always come eventually i never once considered that my writing and ability to feel safe and comfortable on this site would be actively taken from me, so im not even going to apologise. i dont want this either and more importantly i dont fucking deserve it. i dont know what it is in the past year, if ive hit a certain amount of followers or 'popularity' that's made it so the natural ratio of positive to negative interactions must in turn go up, but there's been a serious uptick in weird asks for me. the annoying part is that a very small amount of them are actually objectively mean and hateful, the rest are just weird and invasive from people who seemingly dont realise that's what they're being. ive reached a point where i dont care if the intentions are good. it's not my job as a 20 year old tumblr user of all things to defend the morality of someone who couldnt even bother to come off anon. unfortunately, after blocking only one or two anons, the weird asks have decreased substantially, which says all you need to know about the fascinating and exhilarating lives led by these people, but ive also gone on to turn anon asks off entirely. this is something i actively fought against doing and had to be pushed into by my mutuals (who have been the coolest people on planet earth during this entire thing). turning off anon was a big deal to me even if it sounds silly. i felt betrayed and like id been backed into a corner because it was so vehmently something i DIDNT WANT that to feel like i had to do it anyway for my own mental health??? that sucks. so even though ive 'fixed' the problem, im still kind of reeling and uncomfortable every time i come on tumblr. i hope it's just something i need time to ease because i'll truly be devastated if this becomes 'ruined' for me. tumblr exists as the only place in the world where i am honestly every facet of myself without shame or hesitation; losing that would be insanely harmful to me. and to the people who cant appeal to the actual human behind the post, let me put that in words you can understand: we wouldn't get any more writing 😦😦😦 riots and fires and sirens, i know. so yeah. to anyone who has sent me an anon ask and you're now wondering if you were part of the problem, im firmly of the belief that you'll know if you are. when i say 'weird asks' i dont mean 'you sent me a para about your personal life just to vent or ask for advice' or 'you sent me a really deep emotional compliment about the impact me and/or my writing has had on you' - i love asks like that, so much that i put off taking a break and turning off anon solely for the joy they bring me. im sorry that it might feel like you're being punished too bc of the actions of what in reality is a HANDFUL of weird people, but this is what i feel like i have to do to feel safe and not go insane every time i log in. love you guys, hopefully ill see you soon x
