#(ooc: Personal Experiences And Things.)

[skunkes]

might sound weird to say as a person with a couple ocs who have Big Horrible Event(s) in their backstories or as a person who has like 3 ocs total bc he sucks at writing and as a person who hopes their ocs arent too Boring with [the thing im about to mention] but the thing about writing [characters] and [people] is that like.

any little thing a person experiences can take up their whole existence... its actually something "fun" to experience as i meet new ppl and do more things. My friend had something happen that she'll be talking about forever. I had several things happen last year that ill never stop talking about, some of which other ppl think werent that bad actually. In the same way I'll forever remember about the way my sister accidentally insulted me almost 10 years ago, it's really interesting and Fun to find and assign smaller things like that to characters...its really Real. some people's dealbreakers are other people's solvable problems etc etc

#(as well as the opposite: Big Event that maybe shocks everyone around em but they genuinely werent shaken by) #though this one is more common and leads to those ''ohh i didnt know that was normal oops'' moments #talkys #inspired by recent me and friend events #and also recent events where i told sum ppl more stuff about Thing and they responded as if it wasnt a big deal. but it was to me. #and also how i thought a part of al's childhood backstory was kind of maybe dumb and not realistically as impactful as id expect #but i saw someone on reddit almost word for word write that as their experience and how its shaped em as a person #and thats it like... the small things are boring and hard to keep track of sometimes #its not like you'll include every single little event your oc was shaped by in their bio #but idk. its like Fun to piece together for fun. to mold a human being #ykwim? wld be silly to tell everyone ''oh my oc struggles with self image due to many instances like... when their sister called em ugly'' #or write it anywhere but it is fun to Know and have in your head. and its real ! #just like if a friend told you about something that happened to em #long post #delete later #sorry i keep saying stupid obvious shit lately ive always been bad at oc making AND socializing so im learning everything late #but anyway yes. idk even as i keep making ocs that are ''similar'' its like. every person so different #people can react to anything in any way for any reason. i love people #this is why i struggle a bit with keeping ocs to archetypes i guess bc like. what is ooc for an oc. people contain contradictions all the #time. you can change yourself at any time. #ok nobody will read this far so ill go to the real insane rambling #part of this has been a part of my chats with talon while trying to get him to share more info #like. yeah ok you're 400+ years old the things that happened to you were such a comparatively small part of your life #but humans dont live as long and think about small things until they die. i dont think time would heal all wounds actually. not all of em #some thoughts just always come to gnaw at your brain. its ok to not be over things. i feel ill never be over some things #and also complainerism can be fun but thats something else entirely wee hee ^_^

Talk to me abt ur muse's experience w natural disasters

#Wld love to hear abt everybody's muses abt this -- dont make me come into ur inbox abt it HSKFJD bc theres too many- #tag me in a sep post if u gotta but lemme hear it :eyes: #ooc;; mun barks #hc: head up in the clouds;; #hc: history #Cole has had many between his travels thru all his verses #Kid's seen a whole flock of sheep slaughtered by lightning on a stormy night while theyd been sheltering beneath a tree #Flash flood by a river - a gang member swept away by it - and the aftermath of elk that'd died in a sudden onset blizzard #he's been caught in a handful of Wild Fires that'd gotten out of control tbh #one having been created during a criminal dispute that ended up exploding into an altercation #somebody threw a molotov and the campfire found leeway to spread during the scuffling #i think he's also seen a lotta tornadoes as a kid but he's been good w finding shelter or dodging them #i dont think he's had any personal experience w tsunamis #Earthquakes have also been very minor - small - tbh i think he sleeps thru them #Monsoon floods and fire have been where he's been worried most; though funnily enough i think floods #Hold a higher concern for him in terms of being caught in these things-- #Like he's a little more locked in and focused when it comes to fires -- getting caught in a flood has him more?

COACH what to do if im disabled and can't run for exercise... what the fuck do I do

ONLY DO WHAT YOU'RE CAPABLE OF, SON. IT DEPENDS ON THE REASON FOR YOUR INABILITY TO RUN. YOU MAY CHOOSE TO DO EXERCISES THAT RELY LESS ON YOUR LOWER BODY, SUCH AS SIT-UPS (WHICH CAN ALSO BE DONE STANDING BY BENDING YOUR LEGS SLIGHTLY THEN BOWING AND STRAIGHTENING AGAIN LIKE YOU WOULD REGULAR SIT-UPS IF YOU HAVE DIFFICULTIES GETTING ON THE GROUND), CHIN-UPS, PULL-UPS, DIPS, SO ON. YOU ALSO MAY CONSIDER FREE WEIGHT EXERCISES WITH SOMETHING SMALL. 1KG DUMBBELLS CAN BE BOUGHT FOR AS LOW AS 5 REÁL; THEY'RE SMALL ENOUGH TO STORE AND CAN GO A LONG WAY (BICEP CURL, ZOTTMAN CURL, FLAT DUMBBELL FLY, ARNOLD PRESS, CROSS BODY HAMMER CURL, SPIDER CURL, SCAPTION EXCERCISES, I COULD GO ON -- THESE ALL WORK EXCLUSIVELY YOUR UPPER BODY MUSCLES). MEDICINE BALLS AND KETTLEBELLS TEND TO BE MORE EXPENSIVE BUT CAN ALSO BE AN OPTION TO LOOK AT. AND FINALLY, IF THOSE AREN'T OPTIONS, STRETCHING THREE TO FOUR TIMES A WEEK FOR AT LEAST 20 MINUTES CAN HELP ALLEVIATE MUSCLE TENSION AND REDUCE PAIN AND TENSION IN THE BODY AS WELL AS INCREASE FLEXIBILITY, BALANCE BLOOD CIRCULATION AND LUCIDITY. YOU MAY WANT TO DO STRETCHES FOR YOUR LEGS REGARDLESS TO ENSURE THEY DON'T GO UNDERUTILISED

COACH... OUT❗❗💥💪💪

#SKILLSPOSTING #Ooc so like I said in my last post this doesn't *quite* align with my view of PI... #Personally I headcanon Harry as a cane user post-Martinaise because of post-polio syndrome as well as. You know. Being SHOT 😂 #And I feel that with the way PI acts in the game he could become a *major* voice of hurt relating to this... #'Why can't you do this when you could do it before' 'Other people don't need to use that function' and so on. (PI-ified obviously) #He also tends to be very judgmental of others (and very misogynistic) when it comes to physical stuff #But frankly I don't feel comfortable doing that here at ALL. #So currently I've simply been writing a PI that can be more understanding to other people but-- #--may push Harry himself and other furies beyond their limits #I hope that's OK with everyone. ❤ #Last thing: I speak from experience here on what I've figured out works for me for bad days plus doing some research-- #--for this post so I don't ramble on about nothing but this isn't advice from someone who's qualified on this. #Preeeetty please do your own research to find out what works for you + talk to a physical therapist if you need to! 🥰❤

y'know how tumblr gives you those posts on your feed like based off your likes or followed tags and i keep getting these fics with a spunky punky dom - ish mike wheeler and it honestly gets a giggle out of me everytime trying to imagine mikey from my dr saying all this bold shit to my face like— the lanky ass teen who comes up to my window and almost falls two stories down while fumbling and stumbling over his words, trying to ask me if i wanted to hang out at his place because he could hear my parents fighting downstairs, but all that came out was "uhm– are you?– would you like to.. uh– sorry– should we..?"— like i'm the girl who wears headbands, and stockings, and cream and baby pink cottony clothes on a daily basis, and there's still a bigger chance for that mf to be the one calling me daddy 😭

[piningprecussionist]

here's two songs about you, review them, don't, up to you. i personally think they're pretty nice and a fitting tribute to you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ChY-lq88Gs 'Kim Pine' by The Barking Gugs. AND https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjy7LpqCirI 'Kim Pine' by Sitting In An Elevator. -signed, that guy who said he had a crush on you. *enclosed is a small, decently drawn hand-painted painting depicting two figures, one with red hair, presumably Kim. dancing under the stars, in the snow. and a pair of carved, emerald studded drumsticks, with a small pine tree engraved on each, and a small sleeve of Golden Oreos.*

*Kim appears uncomfortable, but again, she pockets the Oreos before setting the other items aside, grimacing.*

People write songs about me? Why? I'm not-

*She takes a deep breath; deciding to listen to the songs before saying anything further, she types up the links into her PC. She listens to both, expression shifting between various stages of grief. Eventually the second song ends, and she spends a moment tapping her fingers against her desk, unsure if she should curb her response.*

... Not really my kind of music. Of the two, I guess I prefer the second? Not really sure I'm comfortable with the sentiments being expressed by men I don't think I've ever spoken to once in my life...

*Her right eye twitches slightly, the corner of her mouth curling in displeasure.*

Look, guy, I appreciate that you like me, but this is... wildly uncomfortable to experience. I mean, you've been pretty nice, really, and thank you for the gifts and all, but... I don't know you. You know to expect nothing, right?

If necessary, I will kick your ass, and I won't feel very badly about it. Hell, I'd use the drumsticks you just gave me to do it.

Just... keep that in mind, I guess. Tred lightly.

#(ooc: just wanted to note that like... I'm fine with running this thread with the understand that Kim is Not Interested?) #(ooc: and the confession that it is a Little Uncomfortable trying to answer these not knowing if you understand that. just like for me.) #(ooc: Personal Experiences And Things.) #(ooc: plus I haven't decided if- for the purposes of this blog- I am writing Kim as a [formerly] comp het lesbian or a kinda reluctant? bi+ #(+ gal. But even if I am writing her as bi explicitly I am not necessarily interested oc/self insert stuff for her at this point in time. + #(+ Least of all with men I think.) #(ooc: thank you for understanding! i hope anyway!) #pine.txt #asks #anon #rp #sp comic #spvtw #spvtwtg #spto #kim pine #(in the event that you are chill and understand that this is like..

Meet the Mun.

ᴡʜᴀᴛ ᴍᴀᴅᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ᴘɪᴄᴋ ᴜᴘ ᴛʜᴇ ᴄᴜʀʀᴇɴᴛ ᴍᴜꜱᴇ(ꜱ) ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇ?

I've actually had Sera as a muse for well over a decade. She's easily one of my oldest muses and ocs, and came about in a period of my life that actually helped contribute to (then unrecognized) PTSD. While she's been through a HELL of a lot more than me, Sera is something of a comfort character and forever my strongest muse, and I don't think there'll ever be a day I'm not writing her. <3

ɪꜱ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ᴀɴʏᴛʜɪɴɢ ʏᴏᴜ ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴡʀɪᴛᴇ?

I'm not really fond of cheating plots, especially ones taken as a 'just handwave it off' kind of thing? Just not my cup of tea. I'm also not really fond of horror and violence for the sake of violence, again especially when just shrugged off or thrown in for no reason other than shock value/no reason at all, and I definitely don't like plots where all it is is 'A antagonizes B, B has to deal with it with nothing else going on aside from A antagonizing them' - I've had a lot of encounters where I literally couldn't do anything without my muse being shit on every time they showed up or opened their mouth, and it was treated as a joke my muse (and I) should just deal with. Shit's not funny after a while. I also don't like turning EVERYTHING nsfw it the same vein as that, either, being it sexual or not - It's exhausting trying to write a conversation between muses and it boiling down to/derailed into a slew of dirty jokes and innuendos, or a trauma dump in reply to something "what do you want for lunch". A bit is fine and funny, but there's a time for it, in my opinion.

ɪꜱ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ᴀɴʏᴛʜɪɴɢ ʏᴏᴜ ʀᴇᴀʟʟʏ ᴇɴᴊᴏʏ ᴡʀɪᴛɪɴɢ?

I do love softer things! Give me relationship building! Give me lore building! Give me meaningful and impactful moments - Some of my favorite threads are ones where I've walked away and learned something new about the muses! <3 I love writing fluff, I love letting the muses just be, but I also love touches of angst occasionally and serious moments just as much. <3

ʜᴏᴡ ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴄᴏᴍᴇ ᴜᴘ ᴡɪᴛʜ ʜᴇᴀᴅᴄᴀɴᴏɴꜱ?

Oftentimes they're things I've been thinking of for a while and just had a breakthrough on, or a sudden realization - Things like Sera being a snow phoenix fall under 'sudden realization', while others, like her scars, were a breakthrough from thinking about. A good chunk of the time, they come around via threads making me see something in a new light or my love of reading made me think, or a video game sparked up a few thoughts, and it always tumbles into something massive the more my muse nodes her head and finally opens up in a 'you finally figured me out, here's more detail' babble.

ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡʀɪᴛᴇ ɪɴ ꜱɪʟᴇɴᴄᴇ ᴏʀ ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴘʟᴀʏ ᴍᴜꜱɪᴄ?

Both - I usually do better with silence, but if I can't get that, I'll slap on some instrumental type music, oftentimes Lindsey Stirling. Things with lyrics usually serve as a distraction because I want to listen to the vocals over writing. XD

ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴘʟᴀɴ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʀᴇᴘʟɪᴇꜱ ᴏʀ ᴡɪɴɢ ᴛʜᴇᴍ?

Both! A LOT of them are winged, especially since I just let Sera (and Shayan!) do her own thing usually and oftentimes she ends up doing things I didn't expect her to do anyway, but I also like to plan out a little bit a lot, too. That's usually as simple as looking to a partner and going "I think this is going to happen" or "I'd like to touch on this", or even pointing out "hey, here's how my muse feels after that" - But from there it's usually winged, never planned out word for word.

ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴇɴᴊᴏʏ ꜱʜɪᴘᴘɪɴɢ?

I love shipping, but unfortunately I've had some pretty horrible experiences with it outside of an incredibly tiny handful of close friends, which's really dashed my desire to jump into it with anyone aside from them. This is actually why I've gone totally singleship and exclusively shipped with @honorisen - I've been burnt so badly over the years I'd rather just keep romantic shipping to a super close friend who knows me and I know just as well in return.

ᴡʜᴀᴛ'ꜱ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴀʟɪᴀꜱ/ɴᴀᴍᴇ?

I go by either Lita, Pom, or Pomberry, the later being a mix of Pomeranian and Tonberry! Though to be fair I also regularly answer to just 'hey you-' as well, and used to go by Pomsky before it got shortened to just Pom! I'm not super picky in which I prefer, so hit me with any of them <3

ꜰᴀᴠᴏʀɪᴛᴇ ᴄᴏʟᴏʀ(ꜱ)?

Purple, dark green, and probably a little mid-ranged blues in there too-

ꜰᴀᴠᴏʀɪᴛᴇ ꜱᴏɴɢ(ꜱ)?

I spent my childhood in the 90's, so I've gotta say most songs by the Backstreet Boys and NSYNC - With special nods for the later to Bye Bye Bye and Space Cowboy. I also really, REALLY love Lindsey Stirling's Shatter Me and Roundtable Rival, as well as What You're Made Of, and Breaking Benjamin's I will Not Bow and Breath - I could list a ton here, but that's because I'm usually fond of songs and less so of groups in general!

ʟᴀꜱᴛ ᴍᴏᴠɪᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀᴛᴄʜᴇᴅ?

...Prooobably Jeopardy? I don't watch a whole heck of a lot of TV aside from old re-runs of 90's/early 2000's anime, but we watch Jeopardy and Family Feud here during dinner most days, so-

ʟᴀꜱᴛ ꜱᴏɴɢ ʏᴏᴜ ʟɪꜱᴛᴇɴᴇᴅ ᴛᴏ?

Currently have on Space Cowboy by NSYNC! <3

ꜰᴀᴠᴏʀɪᴛᴇ ꜰᴏᴏᴅ?

Toss up between chicken tetrazini, meatloaf, and bbq ribs <3 Not really a food, but I finally got to try bubble tea/boba and I'm falling in love with that too-

Anything that isn't hot as all getout, which is most of the year where I live, unfortunately. x.x' I like spring and fall for that reason especially? And while my health doesn't agree, I LOVE winter and miss it since moving to a warmer climate several years back-

ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴀ ᴛᴜᴍʙʟʀ ʙᴇꜱᴛ ꜰʀɪᴇɴᴅ?

People complaining about OOCness when it comes to Guardian Novel-based fics, without considering whether the plot itself is consistent to support the changes in the characters (so it wouldn't be OOC at all), but proceed to read and praise drama-based fics As if Zhao Yunlan isn't a very different person in the drama and Shen Wei isn't even recognizable as the same character… Seriously. Just today I tried to read three drama-based fics, they're not recent works but were recommended, some were fics with three digits of kudos. I thought: maybe? I've read so many wonderful drama-based fics before. I must be out of luck today, because I was there reading and three times in a row, Zhao Yunlan and Shen Wei were on the scene and I was wondering: who are these people? Then I noticed what the three fics had in common, the problem I mentioned in a post some time ago. With all my heart I hate you Fanon.

#and among my friends I am the person most attached to the drama #I have no problem with plots that bring so many new and profound experiences to the characters that it changes them in one or more ways #I don't even consider this as OOC #OOC is when for no reason the character is already vastly different from how they are in the source material #But I'll always have a problem with Fanon things #In any fandom this always ruins the experience and unfortunately there is no filter to curate my experience in this case #fanfic #fanon #ooc #fandom problems

some sterek girlies are privileged and by that i mean they don’t have any takes that would get them torn to absolute shreds by the rest of the fandom

#most of my opinions are common. most of my headcanons are common. #but some. some of them……. #ik it’s not that big a deal. but it also sometimes feels like if i ever said i think ******’s fics are overrated #i would be flayed and roasted over an open flame #(don’t read into the number of *s i just put a random amount not the amount of letters in the authors name) #like i would never say it publicly mostly bc i don’t want to be a bitch that hates on another fans work #but a part of that is that i don’t think many sterek fans wld agree with me LOL #to be 110% fair i’ve only read one of their fics but it was so ooc and off putting to me #i can’t bring myself to read more #which is also a reason i don’t voice this particular opinion i don’t actually know what im talking abt #anyways. having a private gc of trusted fandom friends where you can bitch about things like this #is so essential to a good fandom experience i’m being so serious #personal #kitty needs to chill

thinking about my book 3 playthrough and how it felt like i was watching a preset "default" detective go through the game with perhaps one or two moments where i could actually have some agency over the flow of dialogue. i still have zero control over the story because much like books 1 and 2 all roads lead to rome, but at least in the first two books there was a half-hearted attempt at a mystery. book 3 was mostly insensible filler content interspersed with extremely OOC romantic scenes both on the behalf of my detective and my chosen LI (in this case: adam)

idk if i even want to expend the energy to really critique this thing from top to bottom, but if i had to rate this game out of ten i'd give it a solid 3. and that's only because i think at one point it made me wheeze with laughter. (the sports car. why, of all things... a bright red sports car)

#personal #but cindy if you disliked book 3 why did you play it all the way through #dare i say i had hope for something redeeming? but alas the quality took a sharp nosedive and then started digging #like it's one thing to make my detective OOC. but you're going to make the LIs OOC too??? bro........ #the auction storyline made no sense. like less than no sense. honestly i wish we had the stats for the default detective #at least then i'd know how to experience the game with an in-character MC

#ohhhhhhh i really do dislike the tonal shift in bg2/tob so much........ and by that i mean mostly in xan's mod 😭 #i mean maybe the sense of betrayal and disappointment is immersive but it really leaves me with No idea what to do with him #in my version of radri's story. like. do i do my best even with all the parts i find ooc? do i cherry pick what i want and forget the rest? #and even after all my complaints i keep thinking back to his author. the fact that somehow this is the *intended* experience #currently feeling like the necromancer who resurrected their wife and is convinced she came back wrong but who just never truly knew her #i keep going back to 'estel'amin'. the fact that xan named charname his hope--and then quickly stopped using that name for her #once her bhaalspawn nature continued to affect her life after the conclusion of bg1 #so--basically--i'm to assume that he changed his mind? she's no longer his hope; his light; and if she is it's rare #he just calls her beautiful now; something far more shallow #and the fact that in tob he vacillates between subtly criticizing her for her nature which she has no control over #(and which in radri's case she has never even willingly given in to)-- #and attempting to comfort her after her nature makes bad things happen to her & around her #--but then his comfort is once again undermined by the aforementioned shallow compliments #it's coming across as 'i love your body despite what you are in spirit' and really isn't a great look at all #look maybe i'm crazy but in bg1 i got the impression that he was able to accept and move past it fairly quickly #like 'ok you're a bhaalspawn so now let's move into problem solving. obviously i have to quit my job and travel with you full time' #but in bg2 he spends most of his time lamenting about how hard it must be for her to live like this #while also pointing it out as a personal flaw of hers. as if she'd had any say in who her father was #like there are npcs literally shouting 'i hate all bhaalspawn!' and here he is--supposedly her closest supporter-- #also subtly saying 'i hate bhaalspawn' right to her face #when literally as a neutral alignment and as a companion of 1-2 years-- he should actually have THE most nuanced take on her??? #in bg1 he says murder is unavoidable in the life of an adventurer. then in tob he comments that charname kills everyone haphazardly-- #--as though in another jab to her nature. meanwhile as a constant companion he should know better than anyone that it wasn't so simple #idk. i'm almost feeling gaslighted by the narrative in a sense #because when everyone else talks about xan in bg2/tob--including charname via the dialogue options/written internal dialogue-- #they say that he's ~gray~ and calm and collected and emotionless etc #meanwhile he's literally the most emotional guy in the game. like. he's freaked out SO many times #so?? how am i supposed to take anything here genuinely?? how am i supposed to engage??? SIGH #anyway today's my first day at my new job and i have to wake up in 2 hours & im certain that i'll be too nervous to eat today #my goal for today is just to not be fired 👍 12 hours from now it will be over...

Idk if I'm a special case for... Never having struggled with finding rp? As in "other people who also rp". Yeah back when I started it was mostly on forums, but I moved to Tumblr at the tail end of 2012, started rping here in 2013 maybe? 2013/2014. I didn't have any trouble finding the rpc of my target fandom back then.

All the writers who matched my style kind of stopped writing over the years, but even then the rpc wasn't dead even when I left it two or three years ago and moved to FFXIV rp.

And again. I didn't have trouble finding people. I made an account for FF stuff, followed some FF blogs, looked at what other blogs Tumblr suggested to me or who the blogs I checked out were reblogging from and such, and had populated my dash within a week or two. Sent out a few DMs, got some threads going (we'll ignore what Gia did to all my other muses when I created him later on, I'm so sorry. Boy really did line them all up behind the barn).

Of course this isn't... Someone who wants to newly get into rp struggling to find where to start with that. I already knew the platform I wanted to use (Tumblr/one-on-one Discord servers with people from Tumblr) and was familiar with that platform, so idk if that was what made all the difference. I don't know if it'd be harder to do what I did as a wee tween that very accidentally stumbled upon the rp section of a not-exclusively-rp site, gained a mighty interest in that despite barely knowing how to write English, and then... I honestly can't remember anymore how I found my first forums, but once I did, I followed their adverts sections to find more, until I landed on something that was still active and looked interesting.

Idk idk. I didn't realize the trouble of finding rp had become a hot topic at some point over the years lmao. At most I figured that the challenge lies not in finding people, but the right people whose writing styles and interests in topics to explore match yours, but that was always the case.

#all this coming from someone who tends to stay on the sidelines of any community #'cause i honestly just don't really enjoy the feeling of ''community'' #i am a hermit and a loner by nature and get overwhelmed by social stuff far too easily #ANYWAY yeah i've seen some posts about this on my dash the past days #don't mind me i just find it curious that the sort of guides for ''how to find rp'' are necessary #another thing i see a lot of but have never had any personal experience with #are people who want to start ooc relationships based on ic relationships #like ''we ship our muses so THAT MEANS WE SHOULD START DATING'' sort of shit #like y'all alright out there #how do you keep finding creeps like that #anyway rambles over

drug recs for a first time drug doer? I've drunk alcohol obviously but never done anything harder.

Other than booze which I love, Rhino Horn is definitely my favorite. Helps me get shit done but is also fun. But it's not like that for everybody. Eddie basically only does it when he's in a mood and Mary doesn't fuck with it at all, she's more of a stoner than a tweaker. Weeds fun every once in a while. I don't really like opium because you just sit around and nod off. You feel really happy but you don't do much and I like to be doing shit. Can't have a coconut war on opium, and it's a bit of a waste of medical supplies anyway. I basically only do it if there's nothing else on the boat. Mushrooms are great for an afternoon, kinda like weed in that it's for a special occasion where you want to sit around and giggle at stupid shit. You know if you mix mushrooms with lemon juice it dissolves em a little bit and it doesn't last as long but it hits you way harder.

#drugs #that lemon thing is real its called lemon teching #ooc: anyway im about to drop the real shit on you anon #first of all dont do meth. especially if you have adhd. the high to side effects ratio is completely not worth it #coke can be fun but not worth the price tag. doing someone else's coke is great #now all drugs have personalities but uppers and downers are like regular people and hallucinogens are like mythical creatures #mushrooms are a satyr of some kind casting spells to seduce your brain #and lsd is a lovecraftian monstrosity (affectionate) #the big thing with hallucinogens is you have to not be afraid of them or the trip will go bad #self fulfilling prophecy type shit #ideally you should also go in pretty secure in your sense of self because they will fuck with you #that said its a life changing experience i love it so much #ghb is good but watch out if you go overboard you will fall asleep and the night will be a bust #also always test and Do Not Inject #you can back out if you smoke it snort it or eat it but injecting it youre done #I know youre not actually interested in drug recommendations and are just giving jack the chance to say insane shit #but i have opinions #misc asks

people will write mobius doing the creepiest most invasive stuff with the tapes of loki's life and then it'll be tagged #fluff #pre-relationship #romance like mate.... the potential is immense the fic is dark tag it as such it is NOT a downside

#just from my personal experience i've seen it happening enough that im >.> #it's why i have only read a little loki series era fics fr i'll stick with OG Loki thank you #i'll even take ragnarok Loki #everyone's got their own preferences #tv Loki is a different one i think <3 #which i still like but it's like. that's not the same as the other one at all asufhds #the Loki show #people straight up having mobius bribing/threatening loki into doing sus things and it's not even tagged dubcon and im flipping tables #like br u h #i don't mind fluff even if it's ooc but i do like canon mobius too who is not fluffy and idk things come off wacky to me often

magically projects bpd onto percy

#ooc. #i said i wasnt going to when i started writing him but it's so Clear to me #but someone reminded me that i am the sheriff & i make the rules so #expect a percy & bpd post soon i want to break it down but it's a thing now #keyleth is his favorite person change my mind ( you can't ) #thank you to everyone who has been patient while i get used to writing in CR the last few months #im used to picking up characters i already know like the back of my hand but writing percy especially #as a character who feels familiar but is entirely new #has been such a fun learning experience

Please talk about Palestine 🇵🇸

alright: usually don't want to get into polictics/current events but i will make my stance clear

ISRAEL SHOULD NOT BE DOING WHAT THEYRE DOING

i stand with palestine

(blaming a whole group of people for what their predecesors did is stupid. they had no control over that. it is not their fault for what the past generations did)

#ooc #that is. the one and only thing i will say about this. because i really don't like dabbling in politics and current events but i think this #-needs to be said. i am someone who has experience i guess with hearing the blame for past events and like. how was i supposed to control- #-that. i wasnt even fuckin born?? and so i do not see where the fuck israel is coming from. #sorry for long rambly tags. again i won't be making another post about this for personal boundary reasons #ask to tag
