#“Also I'm morally superior for claiming that the villains aren't villains and don't you dare try to claim that the non-villains are right”

It's always, "If Rhaenyra were in Alicent's position, she would have done the same or probably worse to Dyana," and never "If Alicent were in Rhaenyra's position, she definitely would have raped Laenor and outed him and destroyed his life if it didn't work."

And one is definitely more likely than the other...

Name: Keltie Pronouns: she/they Preference of communication: Discord (available to mutuals upon request) Most active muse: Definitely Billy. Second place is tied up between Arthur Morgan and Jim Hopper. Experience / how many years: I want to say around 14/15 years of RP? I think I came to tumblr RPC around 2011 or 2012 Platforms you use: Tumblr & discord

Best experience: Despite how much of a raging dumpster fire this fandom can be?? I honestly think this might be my best experience so far, second only to my early days from when I was writing Loki. Putting the blinders on and ignoring fandom/interpersonal drama, I think I've made some pretty amazing new friends and like minded enthusiasts here. I wouldn't trade my circle of sweet beans for the world, and I'm grateful to have each and every single one of them, even those I don't get a chance to chat with as much as I'd like.

TLDR IF YOU'RE READING THIS I LOVE YOU, YES, YOU

Rp pet peeves: So many, but the biggest one? Fucking purity police culture. The "how dare you write a multifaceted yet ultimately troubled character, you must ALSO be a piece of shit!!" crowd. Villains, villain coded characters, and basic bitch troubled individuals/bullies are fun to write and I won't pretend that they aren't. MUN DOES NOT EQUAL MUSE. Please, by all means, tailor your own online experience how you see fit, but do not drag your problems with x character/scenario into other people's space, attack them, and try to claim moral superiority. By attacking people over a fictional character, you're automatically as bad, if not, worse than the fictional character you're bashing. You are hurting real people. Billy ant!s, I'm looking at you. Billy Hargrove is not in the room. Billy Hargrove has not and cannot actually hurt you. He's fake. Chill.

Fluff, angst, or smut: ALL. GOOD FOOD. It's hard to get Billy to a place to write fluff with him, but it's so rewarding those rare times it gets to happen. I enjoy angst more than the average person, I'm sure. Breaking the hearts of my RP partners is how I show love. As for smut - Billy is the horniest muse I've ever had, he wants smut in abundance. I find it hilarious because I, the mun, am asexual. Plots or memes: Both. Memes for the low brain days, but some of my most favourite plots have stemmed from those! Long or short replies: Whatever I'm in the mood for, though a lot of my stuff ends up long Best time to write: LMAOOO. Whenever I'm not busy or in chronic pain, rarely am I either. I do like the peace and freshness of mornings, but some of my best bangers I happen to push out late at night for some reason. Are you like your muses: Depends on which muse. When I was 17, my name might as well have been Billy Hargrove. I was in a Bad Place back then, I was the same kind of "bad survivor" of my circumstances. Of all the characters I've ever written, I think he's the most like me. It's a good thing I had people who believed in me and helped me get better, to be the person I'm proud to be, today. He never had that chance or those supports and it's part of why I write him. Even "bad survivors" can get better.

I am most certainly not like 99% of my other muses, though. I played a lot of villains back in the day. Billy’s my gentlest and mildest muse in a long time, by comparison.
