Who wants to hear a long story about how stupid assholes on the internet fucked my head up so hard I still causes me anxiety and trouble to this day? Jumping between in person and online, from way back in the days of LJ RP (before tumblr even existed) to just a few years ago.

People whose names are replaced with initials are those who are either innocent, merely suspected of involvement, or just aren’t bad enough to warrant being named. Or their actions were just heinous towards me personally. It’s a complicated mess.

I’ve always loved to RP, especially my own characters. Heck, until about 2008, I almost exclusively RPed OCs. I’d dabbled in fandom RP but just couldn’t get into the groove of it. Most of this was done with a friend who I eventually was coerced into dating, who I also lived with, named Bianca. We started out with OCs only, and eventually she moved into fandom stuff on LJ. I followed but I assumed my lack of fun was from not fitting in with fandom RP but boy was I wrong. There was so much simmering behind the scenes that I wouldn’t find out until way, way, waaay later.

Bianca and I were in a rough spot. I was living on my own for the first time, struggling to figure out how to keep bills paid. Bianca didn’t have a job due to disabilities. Before she even moved in we made a deal. I’d handle paying for everything if she managed daily chore stuff. Not major stuff, just like doing the dishes and going to the store that was only a few blocks away. Only she didn’t. And she claimed she couldn’t because of trauma from her abusive grandmother that she’d lived with. So I ended up doing everything. Which left me drained and stressed 24/7. She then accused me of being angry any time I showed frustration in even the smallest way. Meanwhile she stayed home and got to draw and RP all day long.

I cannot vouch for the specifics of her disability. All she told me was it was a type of seizures, but she never had one while I was around. And she never wanted me to go with her to any appointments or help her with her with trying to get on SSI. Nor did I ever see a single sheet of paperwork.

She’d started accusing me of stealing her money at some point. She would often ask her grandfather send money to my bank account (she didn’t have one for some reason), and she’d tell me it was for bills so I used to to pay our massively overdue bills. And not giving it all to her in cash.

Eventually, I reached a breaking point. I couldn’t handle the stress anymore. So I sat down with her and just said we needed to find another solution, even if it meant moving in with my mother or something. Not even a finite thing just “I can’t keep doing this, let’s find a solution together.” And I may as well have screamed at her to get out for how she reacted. And she was gone the very next day, acting as if I’d kicked her out. A family of her friend somehow managed to get there the next day. They lived more than a 12 hour drive away, and had enough money to take her to Disneyland for her birthday. So I often suspect that she’d had a plan in place already just gave her an excuse, but I have nothing but my gut to backup that theory.

What I found out later is that she’d been telling people that I was abusive to her. She would tell people that I ate everything in the apartment leaving nothing for her, as well, giving me a nickname that involved the word “Gluttonous” because I was overweight. Many many years later people started to see through it, saying it was her typical pattern and she’d done the same to them. She’d latch on to someone and leech off of them and when they stopped feeding into her nonsense she’d insisted they mistreated her and demonize the hell out of them so her next victim wouldn’t question anything the last person said.

Soon after I parted ways with Bianca, I encountered B. B and I worked together in a hellish call center. She gave he yet another entry into LJ RP with a group that hadn’t already heard hellish fabricated tales of what sort of person I was. And this time it seemed to go better.

I got used to the fandom thing and found characters I enjoyed playing. But it was a headache for all new reasons (petty drama unrelated to my other issues). Finally, I gave up on fandom stuff for a bit and went back to an OC. And I thought I’d settled into a game pretty well, along with B and a few other mutual friends.

That’s where I met Dal. The first person to really fuck me up in this tale. Dal was one of the people in charge of the game, and was the first mod to not completely ignore me. Heck, we seemed to click and RPed a lot together, our characters developing a sort of sibling dynamic. I was always low key worried about him, though. He said he had cancer, and that it had wrecked his hearing but he had a cochlear implant. But also claimed the implant had basically a headphone jack to plug directly into stuff music players hence why he was able to send me so much music.

Some drama happened and the game split. Dal, me, and 2 others tried setting up our own game. But then somehow it felt like me and Dal versus the other two. I asked if the four of us should have a discussion together, cause I didn’t know what was happening. He said he’d handle it, and suddenly one of the other two started attacking me with vague accusations of talking behind their back. They both left the game and Dal and I tried to keep building it. But then one day he just wasn’t online. And the next day. And the next week. I feared the worst, and had no idea how to even find out the truth. I didn’t even know any of Dal’s other friends. Until after about 6 months I did some poking around and ended up messaging one person I’d seen Dal interacting with. Who just told me everything was fine and wouldn’t elaborate.

Years and years later, I found out the truth. It’s just a thing Dal did. He’d set up new identities, find new victims to isolate and torment. Feed them heaps of bullshit, usually around made up health issues. Then ghost them to start all over again with a new name. And I’d been his victim for those few months. I’d even managed to talk to one of the other two involved way after the fact. They wouldn’t tell me exactly what had been said that day, but I got enough to know that Dal told them absolute lies about me to get them to lash out.

Dal was just the initial blow to my trust, though. It got so much worse than just one asshole.

Not long after, I joined the game I would be in for the longest stretch of time. Overall, I had great memories there and even still have a scant few friends from those days. But signing up there was the start of what would become a nightmare. B was there with me. And that’s where I met A, O, and T, along with their extended friend group.

This was the group that told me I was “too eager” and wanted to be involved “too much.” Any time an event asked for volunteers, I’d volunteer. I was never picked, though. And just that act of being willing to be involved in almost anything was mocked. It didn’t matter how much I actually did.

I always felt weirdly snubbed by A and O, but I tried to ignore it assuming it was my anxiety. But I’d learned later I should have trusted my gut.

One thing to know for later is that any chance I got, I’d dress as my character (Crawford). Without being fully aware of it at the time, it was my first explorations of being trans. But I’d equated the way I felt to the character rather than the gender, though I only did it 2 or 3 times between conventions and halloween. A, O, and others treated me like I was super weird for it, too. In that judging looks and not wanting to be around me but not actually saying anything directly about it sort of way.

This is because A and O lived in my same apartment complex--some time before I’d moved in with B after her previous roommate suddenly left. We were neighbors and hung out frequently. Or rather A and O hung out with B. I was just there. And they ignored me both in person and in game. But I just kept right on going.

T got involved in person later, but she’d been in the game with us. She often came to visit from out of town and eventually wanted to move to the area. B and I had been looking for a 3rd roommate, so we made a deal. We’d cover her rent and I’d help her cover her necessary expenses so long as she was working on getting a job. Don’t ever do this, especially with someone you barely know moving out on their own for the first time. It became habit to ask how her job search went when I got home from work. Not even asking for details, and only once per day. Then out of the blue she blew up at me for “harping” on her about it. Meanwhile I was helping her pay for everything. Eventually it was discovered she wasn’t actually doing much to look for a job at all. But in the end she did find employment. Eventually.

Somewhere in this whole mess, I was still trying to make everyone like me. And I went out of my way one year to make every single person in the group a custom decorated cake for their birthday. Usually on some sort of fandom theme, and always 100% from scratch. And every time I did this, T would point out there was a cake mix in the back of the pantry and asked why I didn’t just use that. A lot of reasons: it wasn’t the right flavor, I wasn’t using box mix, and it had been in the apartment longer than I had been (it was left behind by a former roommate). For some reason she thought I was being wasteful in not using it.

Then T said she’d make my cake for my birthday. I saw her come home with the ingredients and everything. Then when she served it, she pointed asked me, in front of everyone, how it was. It was bland box cake mix made by someone who could barely scramble eggs let alone bake a cake, but I said it was good to be nice. And with all the smugness possible, she informed me it was the stale box mix from the back of the pantry. I just put my cake down and went into my room. Leaving my own birthday party.

After all my efforts to make the group happy, it felt like a massive betrayal.

A and O’s other roommate told me later that it a cruel thing to do. She said the three of them would do something to make up for it, but nothing happened.

Meanwhile game stuff was slowly falling apart. A was a mod, along with with a mutual friend of ours by this point. And all A did was complain that people kept asking her things while the friend was stuck doing all the work.

Among all these people was E, who was one of the only decent people in the group. They were a college student who often crashed at our apartment to get away from campus on the weekends. Then on one long holiday I started to notice that E wasn’t bathing at all. I tried to casually remind them that the main shower was available and they seemed uncomfortable with that. So I offered mine (I had the master bedroom), and they weren’t comfortable with that either. Eventually I tried to say it was fine by going into the main bathroom and it was like stepping into Silent Hill.

Having my own bathroom I never had occasion to even look in the main one, which always had the door shut. B and T not only didn’t clean it but did god knows what to encourage the growth of mold. The walls and ceiling were absolutely covered in black splotches. I thought I was going to be sick. Both B and T tried to pull the “I didn’t know!” excuse about needing to keep a bathroom aired out and clean. I made them scrub it all, like I was their goddamn parent and they were teenagers not two grown ass adults. And they whined the whole time like teenagers because they discovered normal bathroom cleaner wasn’t enough to fully remove it. I ended up buying them the right stuff, iirc, because neither of them had enough awareness to go to the store and look for a cleaner with big bold letters that said it killed mold.

After that, I had to get out. Our lease would be up soon and I wasn’t going to be responsible for their damages. I gave them something like a 2 month warning that I would be leaving. I spent several weeks slowly packing up my stuff and taking over the dining room for that whole time. I talked about it frequently. Then the night before the actual move, when I was talking to B about what to expect, T looked at me suddenly shocked and asked what they were going to do about rent. As if I’d just told her in that moment I was going to move.

I cut ties with T, A, and O. And for a brief time with B. B and I ended up roommates again, but that’s a whole other story for another time. I eventually left the game because most of my actual friends had left or lost interest and most people at that point just ignored me. I tried to come back, but to no avail.

Having been in one game for so long, I felt weirdly lost. But then everything came together when I thought I’d found a new perfect game. The setting was amazing and some friends from the years-long game where there, too! I joined up and had a blast terrorizing people with a unrepentantly evil vampire. I met one of my absolute best friends of my entire life in that game. Who much, much, much later led to me meeting a second lifetime best friend.

Only once I was IN the game, I discovered something....it had been founded by none other than Bianca. She was long gone, but some of her closest friends were still in there. At this point I still didn’t know that she’d been spreading rumors about me, let alone to what extent. I discovered this by someone being super eager to greet me into the game...before blocking me without warning when they found out who I was.

It became a read headache because Bianca’s minions wouldn’t let other players so much as mention me or my characters around them or their characters. But he’d already become a game-wide threat that most everyone knew about. The mods had to get involved because a player wouldn’t let my character use the medical facilities because the player claimed their character was in charge of them. The mods had to inform them that their character didn’t own a predefined game setting open to all players.

This was also when someone anonymously posted that they hated my writing style because not everything was full essay style sentences. I intentionally use sentence fragments and repetition in my writing. It’s a pretty common thing to do, and they hated it so much they wanted me to write like them. I found out later that it was likely one of the primary people I RPed with which seriously undermined my confidence.

Eventually the tensions in the game and the stress of real life got to be too much and I left, thinking it would be temporary until I got things sorted. When I tried to rejoin a few months later I was informed I was banned because of Bianca’s minions reporting I was a bad person to the mods, but no one would tell me that. It was just a vague claim that I made people “some players” uncomfortable, without any specifics.

That’s when a years-long saga involving an entirely different group in person and online happened, this time on Tumblr. And still with ties to the old nonsense because one of the people involved was someone I’d met sort of because they were mutual friends with Bianca. I ended up repeating the same mistakes as I did with Bianca and T combined, in letting someone move in with me, offering to pay for everything while they got on their feed, coerced into a relationship, blamed for everything, and just kicked aside. And again I was accused of kicking someone out...after they were the ones to dump me and declared they were moving out before I’d fully processed what had happened? I still don’t understand what happened there. All while online drama had happened with the RP and I was called a bully for trying to stop someone who was trampling all over everyone’s fun by being mean on purpose and ignoring boundaries.

I was also manipulated by that mutual friend I mentioned, only to be treated like garbage. But those are all stories I’ve shared before.

In among that, however, was what made me leave DW (shifted over from LJ) RP for Tumblr. I made the mistake of ignoring major red flags with Carley. She latched on to me pretty hard because I played the things she liked. But she quickly isolated me from my other online friends by occupying every possible moment of my time. She’d bombard me with messages and would demand I respond to her RP stuff immediately. Even when I was trying to work, which she didn’t think counted because I was a freelancer at the time. Carley expected all of her RP ideas to taken as a whole with no changes. If I suggested even the slightest tweak on an idea she’d say “nevermind” and throw the whole thing out and come up with a new one. And if I presented literally anything, she’d dismiss it and replace it with her own thing. Which was sometimes my idea with minor things changed.

When anything went wrong in character, even when it was a thing that was planned to go wrong, she would blame my character and by extension me. Like she wanted an scenario where something happened that left my character feeling down so her character could comfort him. Only once I set up the scene it was his and my fault, and her character saying “well, you’re not considering MY feelings.” It was emotional whiplash, and any time I tried to explain that it wasn’t sitting right with me she acted like I was confusing IC and OOC.

This was the first time I recognized abuse in the moment. Because if that I wanted an outside opinion. So I talked to the above mentioned partner and one of her friends about it. The friend essentially mocked me and said abuse couldn’t happen like that. It was online and we weren’t in a relationship so it couldn’t be mental or emotional abuse. Which felt like a slap in the face.

That’s when I befriended Kat and R. R and I were both caught in Carley’s nonsense, and Kat was a mutual friend of ours. It was together that we managed to get away from her before she imploded her own reputation in a very public way that would take way too long to explain. I tried one last time to explain to Carley what my problem was. And as if she was following the emotional abusers handbook she responded as though she had no idea what I was talking about and implied it was all just my perception.

Kat, R and I got along for a while. And Kat’s in person friend E joined us for RP shenanigans. We had fun for a while. R eventually drifted away. She ended up sort of using me for something unrelated before ghosting me, but it was minor and might just be a product of not being online so much.

E was pretty okay, but always overshadowed by Kat who was one of those people that demanded to be the center of attention always and never gave anything in return. She insisted I was her best friend. Frequently....in private. But publicly (we used a social media site called Plurk that’s popular with that particular RP crowd) she practically treated me like a stranger. She basically ignored me in her public conversations while lavishing attention on someone who was known for having a lot of money.

And again, I repeated my mistakes. I kept thinking if I was just a better friend, then I’d earn that attention in return! I’d draw stuff for her, I’d jump on which ever new character she wanted to RP as. I’d push my interests aside in order to conform to what was needed in the moment. I was so busy trying to make HER happy that it took a while before I realized she wasn’t even doing the bare minimum one would expect from a friend, let alone what you’d expect from someone who frequently called you their best friend.

It was stuff like the moment she’d need my attention she’d pester me until I responded and gave her what she needed. But any time I needed a friend to talk to about literally anything, she couldn’t be bothered. At first I chalked it up to her being busy, but that can only go so far. One time I expressed this frustration to her. One example I used was that she was always publicly congratulating the rich friend on every little possible thing and she couldn’t even be bothered to say anything on my birthday (not even asking her to remember it, cause I sure can’t remember anyone’s birthdays). So the next day she found some minor accomplishment to publicly congratulate me for and never did it ever again.

She also smoked a lot of weed. Which I don’t judge anyone for, I just asked that she respect the fact that I didn’t like weed myself and would prefer to not be involved in any stoner-specific shenanigans. And for the most part she did respect my request. But we’ll get back to that.

Eventually, after tumblr, I found my way back to DW. But a lot had changed and it wasn’t really the scene I knew. Tumblr kids had invaded and sanded off all the rough edges to make it all soft and cuddly. Character tension used to be the favored thing to RP, which I live for. Fighting, arguing, anything to build off of. Only now it was cool to demonize even the slightest negative interaction.

I didn’t realize just how bad it had gotten until I joined what looked like a delightful psychological horror setting. I was like “heck yeah, fuck my character up.” Since I’d been RPing as Thor on tumblr, I decided to bring him in, thinking he’d contrast well with a character Kat had...only she never once RPed with me there.

Only...things got weird. Fast. I THOUGHT I was having a grand old time, but I was so wrapped up in plotting my own stuff I didn’t realize I was taking the setting more seriously than other people. There was a semi-mindcontrol event going on where during the day characters had a strong urge to play hero against mobs of people threatening player characters and at night they had a strong urge to attend what was basically a rave with body-altering drinks. Though I handwaved a lot of it, Thor spent two solid weeks barely sleeping. As if he’d resist an urge to fight or party. Especially when he was coming off the end of Ragnarok and ignoring all those weird emotions. After the two weeks were over he crashed, hard. Cause one of the side effects of giving in was exhaustion. Plus I had life stuff to do so I just said he was out for a while.

Only other players started treating it strangely. Jokes made out of character were taken as 100% serious. Then the Captain America character treated him like a child for what the player assumed to be flat out not bathing, when he’d practically been in a coma for several days and woke up exhausted and depressed.

This was all with a side of a lot of people demanding to play things with their personal versions of Thor that they’d imagined, ignoring all of the stuff I’d already built up. It was the complicated thing of being overwhelmed with attention for once, but it was all for my character and they didn’t actually care about me as the player. Not in a “what about me” sort of way, but more about what I had planned, what I wanted to do, and my own perceptions of the character. A lot of people (like the Cap) treated him like an idiot, based on things that the character hadn’t been there for in canon, or flat out hadn’t happened. I expressed this frustration and got mocked for it. Quite a bit.

Out of spite, I dusted off Crawford for the first time since that game I’d been in for several years. And no one outside of my immediate friends wanted to RP with him. Because by now OCs were sneered at in DW. They were seen as “lesser” compared to fandom characters, all because of a few bad apples doing weird shit with OCs in the past. And this became part of my frustration that I voiced. Pointing out that people would dog pile on one of my characters and completely ignore the other.

And then I made one fatal mistake. I’d tagged a random person with Crawford. A simple response to a public post.

What I hadn’t known was that the character was played by someone named Red. Red had been in the years long game with me, but I didn’t really talk to them. They were friends with the A and O crew, but they didn’t interact with me much. They were just a name I vaguely recognized and had zero idea they held such a strong resentment for me. Red responded to everyone else but me, and shortly after, an anonymous post appeared.

DW works differently than Tumblr. Instead of sending anon directly, most of it goes into a separate community. These are cesspools where everyone is anon and they use it to attack people, then they blame you for looking at it. It’s heinous. I’d peek in once in a while but generally left it alone. Only a friend told me to be careful because I’d been mentioned.

Like a fool, I looked. And it was people tearing me and Crawford to pieces. A few people tried to get them to say what the exact and currently problem was (Despite being a cesspool there were rules about what you could drag into that space). They were mostly vague, or brought up super old stuff. They cited stuff like the fact that Crawford has a tragic backstory, responds to most things with anger, and wears a lot as legit reasons to hate on him that hard. They accused me of “soulbonding” with my own OC....an OC that was the very manifestation of my own gender issues at the time I created him. But they wouldn’t give any details on my alleged soulbonding. Just stated it as fact.

That’s when I took a closer look at the players in the game. When I joined a new game, I looked for specific names (Bianca, Carley, etc), so no one had stood out at the time. And that’s when I realized A was there.

My theory is that the soulbonding accusation was the result of those weird looks I got from A and her friends when I dressed as Crawford. That she and Red had warped those times into something else entirely.

There was a lot more to it than that and it went on for hours. I felt utterly broken. I’d been struggling to make friends already so I didn’t have many people to turn to. Kat tried to talk to me and I didn’t know how to articulate what I was dealing with. I’d just said something vague about being upset.

Already super raw from everything, her response was like grinding sand into an open wound. She said something along the lines of “I’d suggest you smoke some weed but you don’t do that!” and laughed about it. It was just a minor little comment. The tiniest betrayal of my boundaries that I would have otherwise brushed off. But it was the fact that for once I’d genuinely needed her, and she treated it like joke. I at least had my wits about me enough to calm down first.

I didn’t talk to her about it until the next day. I didn’t even say what I was upset about, just that I’d been in a bad spot and she hurt me. She of course pulled the “Well I didn’t MEAN to” tactic. That’s when I realized she wasn’t actually my friend and I’d been used the whole time.

In dropping myself from the game we’d been in, I also removed a LOT of people from Plurk. Some of them were expected cause we didn’t talk. Others were out of paranoia because I no longer knew who I could trust. And like Tumblr, Plurk doesn’t inform anyone when you unfriend them. One of the people I removed was E, because she was so close with Kat I didn’t know whos side she’d be on. Within the hour, E realized I’d removed her and started screaming at me. Somehow thinking I secretly accused her of being involved in the anon comments being made about me.

I just left after that. Completely.

I’ve tried to go back in some ways, but it’s just not the same. I’ve tried setting up RP stuff with friends, but all that old paranoia comes back. Heck, I have trouble even talking about my OCs anymore because of it all.

I keep thinking it’s all over, too. That I’m finally rid of it and everyone has moved on. But its spread outside of LJ. I randomly find I’ve been blocked by someone on twitter. And 9 times out of 10 they’re either knew Bianca or the other person I dated. Or in some cases, both. And it’s not just random people. It’s people with influence in industries I want to be a part of, like Iron Spike.

I guess this is all to say I want to work past this and share about my characters more. But there’s so much baggage and I’m sick of acting like it’s not there. And on the surface it may not seem like a lot. But your trust is seriously destroyed when you don’t even know who exactly was involved or what others have been told about you. Or when you’ve been used by just so many people who pretended to be your friend.

To this day, anyone who calls me their best friend in private immediately puts me on high alert. But thanks to Jo and HZZ I know that not everyone is like that, and what good friends are supposed to be like.

The Mun

The Mun is 21+ and most muses are adults unless told otherwise.

I don’t have anything that needs to be tagged other then NSFW. This regards pictures only, mostly related to smut. If you reblog a lot of shipy pictures and don’t tag it appropriately, I’ll have to unfollow you. I live in a small house, eyes can be on my screen at any given time. Otherwise, I wouldn’t care as much.

This blog will have mature content. If it’s related to pictures, like blood. I will tag it (tw: blood) and any darker themed rps will likely fall under readmore. If something does need tagging, please let me know and I’ll do my best to tag it.

Mutuals & Non-Mutuals may message me using the IM system anytime for ooc chat, plot, thread discussion, character and headcanon questions. Don’t be shy, I’m really nice and would love to chat! Chances are I’m more afraid to talk to you then you are to talk to me. With respect, I wish you to reply to any messages I send you at your convenience with reminders a day or two later in case they have been forgotten. In return, I wish for the same respect. Whether we’re active on the dash or not.

Regarding personals, I don’t mind you liking my threads/openers/OOC/IC response or dash commentary but do not reblog them if it is not for the purpose of rping or the rp is not with you. Unless told otherwise, otherwise I’m going to block you.

I’m not the greatest when it comes to socializing. Regarding irl there isn’t much for me to say but I do enjoy people coming to talk to me about characters, threads and anything. If we’ve talked/rped for a while, you can ask for my discord but threads will remain on tumblr.

All Icons/gifs are made by me. Unless reblogged or mentioned otherwise. #icons

Following

I’m Canon and OC friendly.

Please have a bio and rules page available. It’s much easier to get to know you and your character that way. Otherwise I’m unlikely to follow you.

I will not follow personals nor will I roleplay with them. However, personals can send in asks directed at both mun and muse if you like.

Just because I don’t follow you, doesn’t mean I won’t RP with you. I have my reasons for this and in no way reflects poorly on you as a role player. I’d like to rp with everyone but I’d like to keep my dash manageable.

If we’re mutuals, I want to roleplay with you but it’s okay if you don’t want to rp with me. You can tell me no just as I have the right to tell you no.

If you’re a person of the same muse or face claim as me, I’m still willing to rp with you. I’m also willing to roleplay with more than one person of the same character, just sorry in advance if I get you guys mixed up lol. Muns of the same character can yield different results. If you see me rping with a muse you have, I’ll still rp with you too!

Threads

I’m AU/Crossover/Multi-verse friendly.

I like plotting beforehand but random rps are okay too. Check the muse pages for Verses and wishlists!

I tend to do paragraph rps but I’ll do one-liners and all that. I also use icons from time to time, you never have to match my length or use icons if you don’t want to. As long as you give me something to work with, it’s all good.

Any RP blog can reply to my OPENers, Joke RPs, IC or Dash Commentaries unless it’s stated otherwise (like it’s mentioned mutuals only). If you see an opener you like and it already has notes on it, you can still reply to it or make a new thread and @ myname in it. With or without my permission.

I’m okay with violent rps, simply be realistic. (Talking to me first is preferable.) If you put my muses life in danger, expect them to fight back.If you ever send me an ask or vice versa and wish to turn that ask into a thread. By all means do so, with or without my permission. All I ask is that use the @ myname so I can see it.

If I’ve not liked a thread or responded to it in a few days at first, please let me know, I might have missed it.

If I’m rping with you and haven’t replied in a while, remind me. I might have forgotten/lost the thread. If said it’s in drafts, then I’ll get to it. Sometimes I have a hard time, other times because of life I don’t have time too. I like putting 100% into my threads and would rather not half-ass it because I’m tired. I’m also always willing to do more than one thread with you but I can be slow at replying.

If you ever want to drop a thread with me, you can let me know and we can plot out something new when you’re ready. If you don’t want something new, that’s cool too. Rping is made to be fun and if a thread no longer fun then why stress?

My thread tracker can be found on the front page.

Shipping

I like shipbuilding. I would much rather our characters interact and be friends before starting a ship. I feel slow burns give more content to rp and chemistry is important. I don’t want it to be all fluff either, people disagree and fight but this should never turn into an abusive thing. (Unless we want it that way.)

My level of comfort really varies when it comes to shipping characters. The muns will have had to be in communication for a bit and rules discussed beforehand if we really want to dive into it but in general, while shipping is fun it’s not something I outwardly seek.

I have no problem with your muse expressing romantic feelings towards mine but if I’ve not discussed this, i’m going to turn it down but unrequited love is a thing.

I’m multi-verse / multi-ship. I reserve the right to stop our ship just like you have the right to tell me the same. Things happen, muses don’t work out. It’s cool to stop or try and work it out. I don’t want this to be a stressful thing and would rather the muns remain friends but if that can’t work out. it’s cool too.

Camus

[ My man, my first FE crush. FE11 was my first game, and I think he and Lorenz (as well as Caeda, Merric, Michalis, Minerva, Athena, and the rest of the FE11 cast) were singlehandedly responsible for making me fall in love with Fire Emblem in the first place. I would’ve RPed him a long time ago, but when I first came to Tumblr, he was taken–so I went for the next best thing. XD ]

Rumorstold that to face General Camus in battle was to face a demon on the warpath.

Certainlythere was some element of truth to them, Camus supposed, as he wiped his bladeclean on the unbloodied hem of his latest victim’s tunic. He had earned hisplace as a highly skilled warrior (the best, they said); and yet, rumors had away of inflating themselves into something much worse. He only buried hisweapons in the hearts of traitors or decided enemies; he was not some wantondemon to kill the women or unarmed, nor the ones who surrendered without afight. Yet when he dismounted his horse and strode inside the castle, everyoneparted before him like pebbles before a storm, as if fearing that to cast somuch as a glance his way was to be murdered on the spot.

Butthey were not his target today, these frightened innocents of Archanea. He hadbut one purpose here. Only one would fall upon his blade today.

Itwas no easy task to find the throne room, for the holy palace was much moreconvoluted than the humbler one he knew in Grust. He frightened a few servantsin the midst of some pillaging as he searched, and they scattered like flies atthe sight of him, tall and imposing in his order’s ebon-gold, his hand everresting on the hilt of his wicked sword. He did not bother to pick up thescraps they left behind, except to return the valuable ones beyond the reach oflooters. Any moment he delayed was another moment the king could use to makehis escape. There would be plenty of time to clean up when both city and palacewere safely occupied.

Atlast he found the royal throne, but when he shoved the heavy gilded door aside,he found the king of Archanea himself waiting there. Seated—two glasses of wineat his side, even; as if he had been waiting for Camus to arrive. Therealization rattled him more than he cared to admit, for he had expected toface a coward not unlike (Naga take him) his king Ludwik; but Camus shook thedire thoughts from his mind lest they tarnish his resolve.

JeanIvan did not wait for the general to come near him before speaking. “I commendyou and yours for your conduct while sacking my palace. Bloodless, whenpossible—Athena would approve.”

Camusknew not how the king could obtain such knowledge without leaving this room.The plan had been discussed with and executed by his Sable Knights alone, andthis place had no windows facing the battlefield. But it was not a soldier’splace to question, only to obey his orders. Still, as he drew his sword, hereplied: “What distinguishes a soldier from a barbarian is his ability tostrike surgically. With precision. I have been tasked with bringing Archaneaunder Dolhrian rule. I need not paint the hills with blood as well.”

“Wellsaid, General Camus of Grust. But of course you would know, you who hail from akingdom polluted by them.”

(Fromthe midst of the throne room, Camus’s brows clenched—the only sign that LordArchanea’s comment had hit home.)

“Iwould toast you myself in Athena’s place, but I suspect you are not here forbanter.” He raised the filled glass anyway; but when Camus still advanced, hesighed and set it down. “I had hoped to share my last drink with one known asthe ablest man alive. But alas, I see it is not to be.”

“Forgiveme, Lord Archanea. You know well why I cannot accept that offer.”

“Sobe it.” Archanea’s king rose then, his ermine cloak falling softly around his feet.Though his body was no longer so built,the confidence in his bearing recalled the proud warrior he’donce been. The glintof the sword at his hip was unmistakable. He grasped thehilt of it, and Camus’s fingers tightened around his own. “I have been waitingfor this battle for a long time. May the bards sing of our fight today.”

(Indeed,they would sing for years to come.But would they record the epic tale of a knight unseating an unjust king—or thepitiable fugue of a coward-king deposing an emperor with pawns? And what wouldhis honor mean if he used it to defend an unjust cause? He banished the thoughtas quickly as it came. A knight’s blade was only as strong as his will; hecould not afford to falter against a clearly seasoned foe. And besides, it was not just his king he sought to protect but also the people behind him—)

Aflash of steel; Camus reacted instinctively with his own. Their blades collidedwith the horrible screech of metal on metal. Broke away, clashed again; eachman testing the other’s strength. Camus was impressed that one as old as JeanIvan could fight with the strength and agility of one ten years his junior,despite all the rumors to the contrary. A valiant ploy—but one destined tofail, for this was one fight Camus could not afford to lose.

Thelonger they fought, the more apparent it was how unused Jean Ivan was to thisexertion. He pressed his advantage, launched into arcing slashes, battering himdown with sheer strength. The king’s eyes widened as he staggered back onestep. Two. He pressed his advantage.

Suddenly,the king swung. Camus leaped back, narrowly avoided getting cleaved in two fromthe unexpected horizontal swipe. He swore under his breath and charged back in;the king, sensing an opportunity, also charged, flinging his sword left andright to keep the general from getting close. Their blades clashed, rebounded,clashed again. Jean Ivan was visibly tiring now, but he defiantly gathered hisstrength one more time and lunged.

Butthe attack was messy. Camus neatly sidestepped the man and, as he passed by,brought his sword down on the man’s wrist. His blade caught on bone for thebriefest of moments; and then the king was howling, clutching the stump of hiswrist, his hand still clutching his blade half a meter away.

Thegeneral lost no time in advancing on his fallen adversary and seizing his hair.

“For the motherland.”

Adecisive strike through the neck, and King Archanea was no more. And yet, as hegathered up the head to present as proof of his victory, Camus could not helpbut imagine the dead king’s voice whispering, “May the gods protect you,Nyna…”

Rules for mobile users.

Because I thought I’d done this months ago, under readmore is just my rules that I have on my blog so mobile users have access to them too since tumblr is dumb. Mad respect for anyone stuck on mobile and actively uses it as there rp source because I sure as hell can’t lol.

The mun

The mun and muse are both 21+.

Considering the theme of this game, if it’s expected, I’m not likely to tag it. HOWEVER. If it’s related to pictures, like blood. I will tag it (tw: blood) and any darker themed rps will likely fall under readmore. If something does need tagging, please let me know and I’ll do my best to tag it.

Following

I’m Canon and OC friendly.

Please have a bio and rules page available. It’s much easier to get to know you and your character that way.

I will not follow personals nor will I roleplay with them. There is only one person exempt from this rule. However, personals can send in asks directed at both mun and muse if they like.

If we’re mutuals, I want to roleplay with you but it’s okay if you don’t want to rp with me. You can tell me no just as I have the right to tell you no.

Threads

I’m AU/Crossover/Multi-verse friendly.

I like plotting beforehand but random rps are okay too. I have wishlists Here and Here full of idea’s that I’d love to play out. Most idea’s can be interchangeable with muses and oc’s but should be discussed.

Any RP blog can reply to my OPENers, Joke RPs, IC or Dash Commentaries unless it’s stated otherwise (like its mentioned mutuals only). If you see an opener you like and it already has notes on it, you can still reply to it or make a new thread and @ myname in it. With or without my permission.

I’m okay with violent rps, simply be realistic. (Talking to me first is preferable.) If you put my muses life in danger, expect them to fight back.

If you ever send me an ask or vice versa and wish to turn that ask into a thread. By all means do so, with or without my permission. All I ask is that use the @ myname so I can see it.

If I’ve not liked a thread or responded to it in a few days at first, please let me know, I might have missed it.

My thread tracker can be found in my navigation page. I will do my best to keep it up to date. If you see our thread is missing, let me know, please. If you’ve not responded in 3 months, the thread will be archived but it doesn’t mean you can’t respond to it a year later.

Shipping

I have no problem with your muse expressing romantic feelings towards mine but if I’ve not discussed this, i’m going to turn it down but unrequited love is a thing.

I’m pretty open to the idea of shipping him with anyone he has chemistry with but Hank and other Connors. I would also prefer the RK Series to see each other as siblings but it’s not a requirement.

Tags/Verses Masterpost!

Figured I should probably make one of these to keep track.

Yakuza-series independent RP blog; open and welcoming to AU, multi-fandom and OCs. Expect canon-typical violence and dark metaphor; NSFW/explicit content will always be tagged. [THIS POST IS A WORK IN PROGRESS, EXPECT UPDATES ~ posting it now before it gets any longer...]

Robz, 21+; RPed for a long damn time; friendly, but shy. I write, draw and sing - or at least make motions to that effect. 日本語で書いてことできるんだけど恥ずかしいから英語のほうがいいんです。よろしくお願いします。Interests include: music, video games, horror. Ask for my Discord ID, and lets plot shenanigans!

CHARACTERS

[Majima Goro] [Goromi] 真島吾朗 ~ The Mad Dog of Shimano/The Lord of the Night; Sharp as a blade and stabby to boot, Majima is a yakuza through and through - unpredictable, violent and just a bit smarter than he lets on.

[Makimura Makoto] マキムラマコト ~ Not All Who Wander Are Lost; A young woman caught up in a world of darkness she could never hope to fully understand. Makoto is determined and independent, and perhaps just a little reckless. (Somewhat canon-divergent after Yakuza 0 - rather than returning to Hogushi Kaikan, Makoto instead begins working with charities focused on helping human trafficking victims and other vulnerable members of society. She won’t sit around and wait for a hero any longer, instead, she wants to become her own.)

[Oda Jun] 尾田純 ~ Tachibana Real Estate’s Lap Dog; Unrepentant and proud, Oda knows his place in the world because he carved it for himself. He won’t let anybody stand in his way.

[Dojima Daigo] - Testing~

[Hana] 菊川花~ Sky Finance’s Backbone; Hana sometimes wonders why she bothers coming to work in the morning, but it’s a good job she always does.

[Akamine Tenji] 赤嶺典二「天使」~ OC; a host originally from Gifu who has no idea what he’s about to get himself into. Polite, gregarious and kind, his sweetness hides an ambition for greatness that he will pursue to the end of the earth. (FC: Mizushima Hiro) Tenji now has his own blog over at @hachidorinoko with both Yakuza and Persona 5 verses!

[Hayashi Bara] 林薔薇 ~ OC; daughter of Hayashi Hiroshi, Bara is something of a tearaway punk trying to find her place in the world. Rude and obnoxious, she is in truth as vulnerable as she appears, though she’ll go to any lengths to hide that. (FC: Tsuchiya Anna) Bara now has her own blog over at @splinteredthorn !

[Futaba Sakura] 佐倉双葉 ~ Persona 5. Not active on this blog, but she has her own sub-blog at @hikikohacker

Hit me up, who knows what’s next.........

RULES

Setting these up as I go along, so forgive me if they’re a bit lax...

DBAA ~ Don’t Be An Asshole; plain and simple!

No minors, please; I keep my NSFW stuff tagged, so it can be avoided if you’d rather not read it, but I will not generally place it under cuts and nor do I wish to feel as if I should. Absolutely no smut with minors, no exceptions.

We don’t have to be mutuals to interact! We don’t even have to be from the same series/universe/whatever. If you wanna RP, just hit me up and we’ll figure something out!

If you’re not sure about something, ASK ME! I don’t bite, and I certainly don’t want to cause confusion or frustration with anything I’ve written. You can message me through tumblr, or ask for my Discord so we can talk things through.

I WRITE A LOT -- I like big paragraphs and I cannot lie... don’t feel like you have to keep up with me! I’d prefer a reply which is short and to the point than to feel like you’re stressing over matching my waffle.

I may unfollow RP blogs which post a lot of OOC/irrelevant content. This doesn’t mean I don’t like you or don’t want to RP with you, it just clogs up my dash and I don’t really like it. Drop me a message if you have any questions, but I can guarantee it’s nothing against you personally! Your blog, your rules -- you do you!

Nicotine anon here - what got you into kink? I'm curious!!

NICOTINE ANON BACK AT IT WITH THE GREAT QUESTIONS.

Buckle up this is quite the story. I’m actually going to put this under a read more because it got much longer than I originally intended for it to be.

So up until about 3 months ago (long story) roleplaying was my primary form of writing. I’d been rping for roughly…. 14 years. Well I have a penchant for rping like, what is known as #dirtybadwrong because I enjoy the darker side of life.

Well once upon a time (when I was like, 16) I created this roleplay on tumblr that was basically Marvel’s Sky High only it was set in college and blah blah blah. I had an unrealistic amount of characters because I had no self control and too much muse and one of those characters had a mAGICAL DADDY KINK out of no where. Honestly I have no idea where it came from. I was like, 17 years old and my muse was like ‘it’d be hot for my partner to call me daddy’ and I was like ‘ok thats weird but w/e I’ll roll with it’ and that’s all it ever was was just like, a daddy kink. I mean, I feel like I always had a daddy kink personally I just never knew it was called a daddy kink nor did I ever think of calling my partner daddy because I was a fucking infant. But like, when I was 12-13 years old my biggest celebrity crushes were JDM, Patrick Dempsey, Alan Rickman and Hugh Laurie. I mean…. that should be evidence enough. (Also sidenote: I’ve been obsessed with JDM for almost 12 years someone needs to like, call the cops on me or something.)

FAST FORWARD to when I was 18, I created this modern day The Hobbit mafia roleplay (hence my nickname Bilbro Swaggins) and it was literally like, my child. I spent two months making bios and creating characters and setting the plot and figuring everything out and when it finally opened I was fucking elated. Well, my main writing partner at the time and I picked up these two characters who could not have been more polar opposite to each other and decided to figure out how they could end up together.

LONG LONG story short and to save you the grief of having to listen to me for ten years and to save you from having to read about all of the #dirtybadwrong I wrote about (if you’re honestly that curious I will gladly tell you some other time probably under a read more because it’s that bad), the two characters basically wound up in like a stockholm syndrome-type relationship that was…. god awfully unhealthy. It was so unhealthy. It was literally like to this day one of the most unhealthy relationships I have ever rped. But we fucking ate that shit up.

NOW you’re probably thinking at this point in the story, ‘Kaden, I asked you about how you got into kink. I don’t care about your past rp experiences.’ but just…. bear with me here. Amidst this horrible unhealthy relationship we were rping one of the biggest parts of said relationship was that it somehow turned into a kink dynamic. Specifically a DD/lb (Daddy Dom/little boy) one. And now, if you don’t know what that is it’s basically like a daddy kink on crack. I’m not going to go into the logistics of all of the different types of DD/lb/lg relationships because there are honestly so many different types it’s alarming BUT in our case the little boy was basically regressed to a much younger age mentally and the Daddy Dom took care of him. I mean that’s the most basic way to put it without telling you about all of the nasty, horrible, wrong, immoral details.

Let’s just say that the other people in the roleplay hated our ship so much that they literally stole all of my characters and my plot and created different blogs just so they could get away from us. Lmao. It was that legit.

BUT I had been doing some RESEARCH (ah yes the biggest excuse for the Writer) because I wanted to learn more about this DD/lb dynamic thing and while I was roleplaying a very unhealthy relationship at the time I also started to learn about the more… healthy ways to go about the kink. And it was fuckin’ interesting. Suddenly I was immersed in knowledge of what kink was and how to go about it and how there were so many fucking different kinks out there.

So after the mafia roleplay went sour my main writing partner and I created a kink roleplay! I had no idea what I was doing but I was determined to like, do it correctly. So I did a bunch of research on the kink community and opened this roleplay that was so contrast to your every day Master/slave tumblr rp that just went about it in the worst kinds of ways. I was like NO I’M DOING THIS IN A HEALTHY WAY I’M DOING IT RIGHT I’M MAKING SURE THIS IS BY THE BOOK CORRECT so I had to do a lot of research on the kink community and what dynamics, scenes, aftercare, negotiations, etc was really about. And I just became enraptured by it all. It was fascinating to me that these relationships and dynamics - while doing some of the most fucked up shit you could ever imagine - were some of the healthiest relationships I had ever seen.

I picked up characters that had kinks that would later become some of my biggest kinks to date and I feel like that was like, dipping my toes in the metaphorical waters of what kink was.

I’m sure it’s another story for another time but basically then in my personal life I toyed with different roles and was in a few relationships that explored kink WAYYY before I actually finally nutted up and joined my own kink community.

But I gotta hand it to my rp characters, man. If not for them being into some fucked up shit and forcing me to research it I probably would have never wound up where I am today.

#long post #this got... way too long #but i was in a typing mood #so here have my really long aggressive rambling #i mean it could have literally been summed up in like a sentence #'i rped a lot and then i rped some kinks and thats how i got into kink'#i mean there you have it #but whatever TAKE MY DUMB STORY #about kaden #kaden speaks #Anonymous #nicotine anon #asks

Allen’s Rambling: Amazing Person Award

✨💛 This is the Amazing Person Award! Once you are given this award you are supposed to paste it in the ask of eight different people, who, in your opinion, deserve it. If you break the chain nothing will happen, but it is sweet to know someone thinks you're amazing inside and out 💛

So... I got this message from Aster awhile ago, and after (more or less) surviving the blunt of some scheduling issues at work I finally have some time to do this little chain letter. Of course, me being me, I figured instead of sending these out to people I’d make a Rambling out of it. Consider this a promo in a way, I feel it’s better to publicly let these people know how I feel than just send a chain letter.

Now, I didn’t have eight people to tag since... well, I’m a picky little bastard and all when it comes to who I write with, but yeah, let’s get started Allen’s Amazing Person Award/People Your Should Follow List... thing.

@waywcrdsouls

So I gotta’ start with the one that gave me the message in the first place, Aster. I have a lot of fun RPing with them. I’ll be honest, I was raising my eye at first when I first followed them since Alien OC blogs were real big at the time, but I’m impressed by not only how faithful they’ve stayed with their world and characters, but make them so enjoyable to both write with and read. I’m honestly surprised by the amount of thought Aster puts into developing Syn’s world, background, powers, and character development. I have no idea how they do it. I’m attempting to do world-building stuff in two stories I’m writing and it’s a pain for me to think up certain things. Aster has a talent for that sort of thing that I don’t possess.

And Syn’s a fun character to both interact with and read. We decided to make them rivals as a pre-established relationship thing and I’m so glad we did. It’s not everyday your greatest rival/crush is an alien from a far off galaxy. And they play a decent Reimu too. While I personally doubt I’ll go back to the Touhou RPC for personal reasons, I wouldn’t mind being Sanae back just to interact with Aster’s Reimu.

Oh, but fair warning before following Aster, they like spinach as a pizza topping. Yes, that is disgusting, but if you can get over their OBVIOUSLY INCORRECT preference of pizza toppings, then give this guy a follow.

@uncorruptedchampion

If you were to ask me which my favorite character relationship between all the people Claudia has interacted with was, I’d say Rei’s Nero without a second thought. I love the fact that Claudia actually has a mortal enemy she hates and I’m so thankful to Rei for giving me the dynamic of demon knight and holy woman I’ve wanted. Real talk, I love writing conflict and dramatic encounters, and Nero guarantees that. Claudia might hate Nero with a blinding passion, but I love it when these two cross each other. It really let’s me play up the demon part of Claudia’s moniker. Nero’s probably the only person Claudia will cuss out without a second thought and I can’t get enough of it. Maybe Allen’s a masochist or something?

Also, out of curiosity, I did try my hand at Corruption of Champions a few months back to see what it was about and get an idea of the world Nero came from, and... Lord...

Oh Dear Lord...

Oh Dear Lord Almighty in Heaven Above, that is a GAME right there.

Oh Sugar Honey Ice Tea, that’s a +18 game if I’ve ever played one. How the hell Nero kept her virginity in that world I’ll never know, nor do I want to. Yeah, Rei wasn’t kidding when they said that was a NSFW game. That... that was a new experience right there. I’ve been tempted to give Fallen London a peek too, but... C of C has kind of made me wary now. Rei, how you finished that game I will never know...

@kyushukishin

I honestly wish I knew Vick in real life, I really do. I think we could drink cola together in a soda bar somewhere on the countryside and probably have heavy discussions about writing and whatnot. While I’m not as vocal as they is, we do share a lot of opinions in terms of how RPing is done on tumblr. One of these days I’m gonna’ have to really pick their brain about a few things in terms of RPing and writing just to see how our thoughts align and differ.

And Hanako, man. Vick put in research I wish I put into my Japanese-esque characters back when I was RPing them. Seriously, this guy makes me wish I kept Amber as Kohaku and just bucked up and did my research on Japanese stuff. Honestly makes me want to redo my old Rambling on ethnicity. Admittedly, I know Vick more from my interactions with my delinquent character than Clauds here, but I recommend them all the same.

@soulwitch

You’d think given my hate-boner for OP characters and general bitching about power levels I’d hate writing with a character that was essential a universe-destroying witch. Well... I don’t blame you all for thinking such, but Jeanne is probably the one exception I’ll make, and maybe the only one too. I can’t really explain it myself, I just like how entertaining she is as a character. The charisma, the arrogance, it’s all good stuff to me. Taking an ‘all powerful airhead’ approach to an intimidating character isn’t knew, but it really works for Jeanne.

Admittedly, I haven’t RPed enough with Jeanne-mun for any real plot or conflict to happen, but I’m looking forward to plotting something. Maybe bringing back Titty War for real this time? Who knows, only time will tell.

@verfolgxr

YOOOOSHIIIIIII!!!!

Man, Chaser, it was a blast from the goddamn past seeing you on my dash again. When Aster gave that promo and I saw you’re blog I HAD to see how things were going. Haven’t seen you since I left the Falcon Knights blog.

Ah, but old partners aside, Chaser is probably one of the few people to actually intimidate me as a writer. Okay, intimidate isn’t the right word. Chaser makes me... question how I portray my characters, as since how seriously I take them. I make it no secret that I don’t tend to take my own (RP) characters too seriously. This is usually because I save the seriousness for when I do actual story-writing, and to keep myself from getting obsessively attach to my characters.

And... well, Allen is a shounen-obsessed action whore, so... y’know.

But anyway, with Chaser and reading some of their stuff for Yoshi, I... feel like I disrespecting their approach with my own. The thought put into Yoshi and all Chaser’s characters is something I can really feel the heart in, as dark as some of those developments get sometimes. Back when I was still active on the Falcon Knight blog I felt so bad for how serious Yoshi took her relationship with FK while the two members she was closest to didn’t act the same way. It was in character, but it honestly torn me up on the inside a little.

My misgivings aside, Chaser’s a great RPer and recommend all you guys follow them.

@solemnspear

I... honestly have nothing in depth to say about Imu-mun. While I’m personally not familiar with Legend of Mana, seeing Imu’s character makes me wanna’ try the game out somehow.

I think Imu and Claudia have a good dynamic, both warriors of high skill, both favoring a spear, both lesbians. I think Imu’s more abrasive and blunt nature would balance out Claudia’s friendly and polite nature... when she’s not in Demon Knight Mode anyway. And... y’know, another lesbian spear warrior is always welcomed. Allen’s also a yuri fanboy trash after all.

@cyansurvivor

Anyone willing to do this shit with me is a person that needs to be cherished, loved, and followed. That is all.

@lyccris

And last, but definitely not least, Glyph. Like with Chaser, I feel a bit intimidated by Glyph the same way I do with Chaser... well there’s a bit of a difference. While the heart behind Chaser’s writing intimidates me, the power behind Glyph way of writing Anima honestly makes me hesitate to plot with, despite having a whole AU based around their relationship of knight and empress...

Wait, calm down folks, Allen ain’t gonna’ bitch about power levels here, honest!

Jokes aside though, I specifically mean Anima’s position of power compared to Claudia’s intimidates me. Glyph’s writing aside, my intimidation here is for more mechanical reasons that just Allen being a shy guy. I researched a good deal about knights a few years ago, but I didn’t get much information on their direct interaction with royalty like Anima, so keeping Clauds in character around her is a bit of a challenge. Now I can obviously just do the research now, but... well, work’s been sucking my life away at the moment and poking as Aster, Rei, and Imu-mun with Claudia’s big spear is a bit easier than poking Glyph.

Anyway, I enjoy reading a lot of what Anima does, and seeing someone competently write someone of power always interests and impresses me. Go give this one a follow!

I know I’m technically missing one more person, but again, I’m picky with who I interact with, so... I’m a little high and dry in that regard. And... I have to admit, calling you all by your mun names feels really weird. Like, now I know why we use to call people [Muse]-mun a few years back. This feels like I’m being way too casually, and I’m the guy that’s purposely using Allen as an alias.

Anyway, give these lovely people a follow and tell ‘em Allen X sent ya’!

#.ramblings #sorry aster i cheated #also yes i'm still bitter about the spinach on pizza thing #i will one day actually for real fight you irl over this

[ Send 💞 to ask Mun their Shipping Properties! They will answer all below ][ @master-and-student || @littlelilypetal (since you sent in a few lol) ][ Accepting ]

What’s your OTP for your Muse?:

Well, my first ship with Ryū started about five years ago with some friends, where I wrote her with Itachi. I RPed…a LOT with those two friends, so we had a LOT of time to build the ship. Those RPs are actually where the twins came from! So that pairing is very dear to me. Of course, any muse is different, so that ship is something I see separately from anything that happens here. But it’s still something that brings me a lot of happiness to remember, because it was so much fun time spent with my friends n_n

I’m lucky enough to have a few ships on here, and I honestly adore all of them. So I really can’t pick a favorite, tbh. Even a few of my background characters have a ship or two, which is super neat!

What are you willing to RP when it comes to shipping?:

Just about anything? My only stipulations are that there can’t be adult x minor ships, and no incest ships. And of course, no smutting with minors. Other than that, I can’t think of anything that I’d exclude!

How large does the age gap have to be to make it uncomfortable?:

…I’m not really sure I can put my foot down in any way except for adult x minor. Because like…there’s also some squeamish factor where like…as SOON as a character turns 18, yes they’re legal, but it can still be a bit predatory if someone leaps at the chance the moment they are. Because one day ago, they weren’t. So it sorta depends on the dynamic? I dunno if that makes sense ^^;

Are you selective when shipping?:

Beyond my basic rules, not really? In the end, it’s 100% up to my muses what they feel works, and what doesn’t. If they don’t see your muse in that light, I’m sorry, but I won’t force a ship. It has to work organically. Sure there’s situations like arranged marriage AUs, but that doesn’t mean my character will have feelings for yours. So, in short, I am - or rather, my muses are!

How far do steamy moments have to go before they’re considered NSFW?:

…that’s a good question? Tbh I haven’t really RPed nsfw here until VERY recently. I used to RP it with a friend outside Tumblr, but that was literally years ago. I’m majorly out of practice, and tbh I’m not sure I’m very good at it because I’m very ace and sometimes I get squeamish xD But I think once there’s like…foreplay? I’d like to see things under a cut. Because I know there are people who don’t like to see that on their dashes. I’d always rather be safer than sorry when it comes to putting stuff under cuts.

Who are other Muses you ship your Muse with?:

Oh gosh, let’s see…for Ryū, there’s sort of a ship with @hirasenshi‘s Rin, in an AU; there’s @rxvensden with Sebby; @despairinghxpe‘s Itachi; @ofascxnsionss‘s Shieru; and @scxrlctiisms‘s Nagisa. I also ship Reika (Ryū’s mom) with scxrlctiisms’ Aki, and Fu with Hotaka. Fu also has a ship with @himahimesun‘s Himawari! Neither Mikoto II nor Reika II have any active ships yet.

And with my other blogs, I have ships going with Mey, lol -with both Shisui and Kakashi :3

Does one have to ask to ship with you?:

…I guess? I mean sometimes it just HAPPENS in the RP, but usually muns kinda look at each like, “Do you ship this thing…?” and the other goes “OH YES I thought you’d never ask” lolol. So I mean it can build up, but I think usually it’s a good idea to double check with each other ooc to make sure it’s okay!

How often do you like to ship?:

Tbh? Any time! As long as things are organic and not forced, I’m down any time! And if we don’t have anything yet, you’re more than welcome to ask :3 I won’t bite! Of course I can’t guarantee my muses will play along, but you’re always welcome to ask n_n

Are you multiship?:

Yes! Each ship has its own verse…unless muns agree for some tug-of-war, huehue~

Are you ship obsessed or ship more-or-less?:

…somewhere in the middle? Like…I don’t want to be obnoxious xD I ADORE my ships, but I also realize that they can get kinda…overdone? Like if my partner is sick of my rambling about them they just gotta tell me to shut up lol - I don’t want to push something to the point where things get ruined because it’s being talked about too much, know’m’sayin’?

What is your favorite ship in your current fandom?:

…I don’t wanna pick favorites, man! I love all my ships! Besides, I don’t want anyone to feel crummy if I say one over the other - that’s not nice. I love each of them for their own reasons - there’s really not any I prefer over another~

Finally, how does one ship with you?:

Just…write with me? Like we can discuss things ooc early on if you’d like, but in the end it’s also gotta come down to chemistry. If my muse and I agree to it, then it’s all good! But like I said, in the end, it’s up to my muses. Whatever they’re comfortable with, be it planned out early on, or built up far down the road.

One quick thing I will note? I’ve written a really long fanfic for Ryū’s backstory, all the way into a long epilogue arc, which was started like…five or six years ago. I wrote it as close to canon as I could, which meant she bumped into canon muses through that. OBVIOUSLY, my own fic writing DOES NOT carry over to other mun’s muses. BUT. It does kinda sorta mean I already know some canon muses Ryū would be down to ship with, IF IT EVER CAME UP. So there are some muses we both know she’d already generally get along with. Given, another mun’s interpretation of those characters might change things, but it does give me an idea as to what I myself could see working right out the gate.

Jus’sayin’ ;3c

#i hope that answers your question [ mun replies ]#master-and-student #master and student #littlelilypetal #i hope it's okay i grouped your asks #since this one just...covers them all lol #long post

Alright time for Micheal! ⏰ 🚹 (Alright I kinda laughed at this one for him, since you know)🐜 🎁 🍟 💅 Also does it ever bother you when people ask lots of questions? Just don't want to come off as rude with how many I ask or overwhelm you 😄

(You are never bothering me with a lot of questions. I love these things! And it’s especially important for the muses on this blog because, with the exception of Nat in a couple threads with one friend off Tumblr, and Nat and Clint as guest muses in a couple threads on Tumblr, and Veridian in a couple threads off tumblr, I have never rped these muses before and certainly not in great detail. So all of these are fairly new to me and making them my own by fleshing them out and becoming comfortable with them is a lot easier when answering questions like these about them, whether IC or OOC. So thank you for sending these all in!

⏰ - Does your muse feel like they need to do things quickly or do they take their time?

Uhm….. depends. Michael is an ancient being, so his concept of time is definitely different than a human being’s would be with a lifespan of only 100 years max. Also, the goal of most humans is to live long and be happy, and much of what they do is geared towards that. But Michael is immortal (not invincible… he can die, but as long as he continues living he could potentially live forever), and happiness is irrelevant to him. Sure, he’d like to be happy, but that is of little consequence when one is taking orders from God. His purpose is to follow those orders and to be a general in God’s army. That’s all. So he doesn’t have a lot of personal goals or a sense of urgency with regard to time beyond completing his Father’s tasks. Now… if he is given a time-sensitive order, then he will very much be pressing to complete it as fast as he can, but again he doesn’t decide where the urgency lies, God does.

🚹 - How would your muse react to losing their father? How would they cope?

I mean… maybe God in Christian mythology can’t be killed or destroyed, but an angel can still “lose” him. Lucifer, for example, lost his connection to God and the light and warmth of the heavens when he fell from grace. In writing my own fantasy angels not based on Christianity, I still describe the “Fall” as being as devastating emotionally as it is physically.

There’s a closeness with God or whatever fantasy god that an angel is serving that they feel in the heavens and under their employ that is lost when they fall. That feeling of immense distance geographically from their deity causes intense sadness, the physical cold and disorienting sensation of changes in their five senses once they land on earth is frightening, and the loss of the love, warmth, and light of the heavens is demoralizing. It is a lot like grieving a dead loved one or mourning a catastrophic change in lifestyle.

When Michael fell to earth, he fell to a place where it was nighttime, so it was dark, raining, so he got soaked pretty fast, and cold, as indicated by the way he shivered and pulled his clothes tighter around himself.

🐜 - How does your muse feel about animal lives? Do they treat them the same way they’d treat a person, or do they feel they’re inferior?

So… animals, insects, any other lives besides humans are seen as inferior to humans. Important humans are seen as superior to less important humans (or example, a human he has been charged with protecting would take precedence over others). And the collective, greater good is most important over all… animals, humans, and angels included. In other words, Michael would kill a few to save many, he would sacrifice animals to save humans, and he would make those very difficult decisions on who lives and who dies based on the potential outcome. Whichever path would lead to the least catastrophe, the least loss of life, the least skewing of the balance over to evil… that is what he will do, as dictated by the will of God. Unless he goes rogue, however, heh, in which case he would decide for himself, but he would still follow the collective good model of doing what is best overall and not necessarily what is best for a few individuals.

🎁 - Does your muse celebrate their birthday? If yes, how do they celebrate? If no, why not?

No... because... I don't even think he knows when his birthday is? XD I mean he knows the general year in which he was created but... it’s not really something that he pays attention to in any big way.

🍟 - How does your muse feel about their body? Would they change it if they could?

I mean... I think he prefers to have wings, heh. I dunno Legion was weird in that the angels had these cuffs around their necks like slaves and for some reason Michael had to cut off his wings to sever his subservience to God. I don’t... really... get why that was necessary? Later on when Garbiel comments on how his wings “would have helped you now,” because without them Michael was mortal, Michael responds, “To not feel their burden is a dream.” I really hated that because that is so foreign to just about every concept of any angel anywhere that I have ever seen, heh. Wings aren’t a burden, nor are they a sign of subservience. They’re biological appendages, and usually deeply loved ones. That’s how I write my angels, as loving their wings. If they are injured or lost, it’s an emotional event. So to have Michael discount them so easily was weird for me, and likely something that I would change from the cannot when I write him.

But that little weirdo thing aside... I think he sees his body as a tool, a means to an end. He likes that’ sit’s strong and capable because that's often what he needs it to be. He’s a soldier, so he needs to be strong, fast, able to fight and stay standing for a long time. As long as his body helps him be that and do that, he’s happy with it. I feel like, after falling and becoming mortal (that’s something else I would change, the whole becoming mortal thing, but anyway), he might have been a little annoyed at the weaknesses of a mortal body, essentially lowered stamina, more easily injured, going into shock, more pain, things like that.

💅 - How does your muse feel about gender roles? Do they conform to them, or do they play by their own rules?

Yeah I think Michael conforms to a typical cis-male role, even though he was not “born” in the traditional sense of the word. He recognizes the genders of other angels and of humans. For example, in Legion he puts teenage Audrey in charge of delivering Charlie’s baby, even though there were several other men around. She even comments on it by saying, “Just because I’m a girl does not mean I know how to do this.” So I think Michael not only recognizes genders, but might have some stereotypical ideas about them and the roles that people of certain genders could take.

#muse: michael
