((...So, was anyone going to tell me that the Adamant Orb and the Adamant Crystal are two separate items, or was I just supposed to figure that out while playing Violet?))

#a step out of time (ooc) #((I thought they were the same item!

INBOX CLEAN UP.

after much deliberation, i've decided to wipe my inbox clean. the decision isn't easy for me, and i have thought about it long and hard before i make this announcement. i've been overwhelmed with threads and asks for a while, and every time i opened up my inbox to do some writing, the sheer number of asks i owe people really makes it difficult for me not to put pressure on myself and it's not a good feeling. ( to no one's fault but mine, of course. ) i feel like i really need a fresh start with my inbox. that, and because i know i'm bad at writing starters. i want to be able to reblog new memes that'd encourage new interactions with other mutuals i haven't written with. so, with that said —

aside from a few asks that i can still see myself responding to ( i'm limiting myself to 10-15 max ), everything else will be wiped clean. i'll reblog more memes and inbox prompts that would allow for some new interactions after this. again, i'm sorry if i have kept you waiting on ask responses from me. but i really need to do this clean up for my own sake so that i could get myself back into writing mood again. thank you so much for your understanding and for being patient with me.

#.ooc #.psa #[ i'm going to spend majority of today getting as many inner thought meme asks out as i could #then i'll draft the asks i think i can respond to with that limit ( and a few recent ones esp inbox call i requested ) #and wipe my inbox after #i've thought about this for months but yeah i think i really do need to take this step ! #i'll reblog this post a few times #for now back to hell ( aka work ) ]

Honestly my schedule is hilariously ridiculous bc I'm out here checking my calendar to see when I can fix a day in which I can sleep. And so far I don't have ANY free til the 26th so L to me I guess 😭😭😭

#tbd. #* ooc. / posts. #A billion projects due in the next 2 weeks are staring at me murderously #I'd normally be sleeping in on weekends but for this weekend I'm busy all 3 days and waking up at 9 am 💀 #I foresee me sleeping the entire week of break we'll have for Easter in 2 weeks' time lmaobdbdnd #Rn I'm hauling my devices w me to do a project while attending class like it's so over man #AND A PROF WOKE UP YESTERDAY TO ADD MORE ONTO OUR PLATES OUT OF LEFT FIELD #Sometimes people should step on legoes and while I'm not naming names I'm sure everyone in my class would know exactly Who

Also saying my muse is often canon complimenting and I assume that sort of casual-ness until things establish between our muses and they become their own things or it organically seems to shift to one plot or another / we’ve plotted something specific 🤔 my muses aren’t locked to any specific event and even then I do a plotting call if anyone’s interested in one I may be curating (like the Terapagos event I’m having ).

So like always just jump on an ic post or meme freely assuming nothings happened if ya just want to start interacting with me on a casual basis 👍 I’m not strict, things that have happened are for my character development or for the peeps that were involved, and often with peeps who are timeline or plot locked with something else it’s easy enough to just rummage through inbox or DMs asking if it’s okay to have a casual thread.

#ooc. ･ﾟ ✹ #mobile post #also good points going on in dash! #esp with verses that rub against canons. there’s always a compromise #esp with running a champion muse I have ten muses run @ mine like HEY YOURE A BS CHAMPION FOR LETTING THOSE WHALES KIDNAP THE ORPHANS #and I’m like: ….??? I stepped out for groceries and Geeta would def not allow that but this all happened in ten minutes #don’t assume my muses will allow or do nothing unless I’m participating #not specific to Geeta btw. me and my grocery list of muses over the years it’s happened a handful of times LMAO

So this one's gonna be kind of long, apologies ahead of time- XD

Despite her rough life, Sera has kind of always known there's more to her than even she can understand - And this is a feeling that only grows once she's finally able to settle down with Zack into a calmer, more peaceful life, and learns how to cope and face the things that've happened to her. The more she finds ways to cope and finally have the life she's craved and deserved, the more it feels like she's standing on a frozen lake; there's so much more under the surface, so much more to her, and yet she can't access any of it past the occasional tap on the ice and a temporary, slight bubbling up of the cold water underneath. So, so much more... Something, but she's never understood what, no matter how much she tries to find the answers to 'what makes Seraphina Fair tick?' - A question that comes up especially often in her FF7 canon, when she realizes the materia she picked up on her way to Gongaga is a summon materia for Shiva, eventually gaining the use of her aid and power, albeit at the cost of her own energy and needing serious bedrest after.

This question of what makes her 'tick' and what lies under that frozen over lake is now the same in every verse: Because Sera holds the power of one of many elemental phoenixes - In this case, the Snow Phoenix.

There's lore I wrote up a very, VERY long time ago (and need to rewrite and fine tune, now XD) for another OC of mine whose bloodline is descended from a phoenix - Essentially, the phoenix lived in in an era where gods walked the planet freely and many gained a following, with the phoenix especially enjoying a temple and a fair number of worshipers. But as humans do, war eventually broke out, and the phoenix himself was targeted for his feathers under the false claim they would give the power of rebirth and the inability to fall in battle, causing his temples to be overrun in the people's bid to get their hands on them.

The phoenix stood tall and protected his temple and the priests and priestesses within it, eventually taking human form to fight beside them, and at the end of the war, began a bloodline with his most trusted priestess that eventually, many hundreds, probably thousands of years later, to my other OC - Who, for multiple reasons, thought she was the last of the phoenixes despite being only a halfbreed.

Expanded lore I've been working on, however, adds more phoenixes; the original was a solely fire-based creature, while the others that existed among the world were of other elements - Ice, lighting, water... The original 'myth' had been passed down among the people of a pretty remote village, and the myth/legend had inevitably changed over time, like playing a game of telephone, until all mentions of other phoenixes and gods ceased to exist within it. Nobody knows there's others - But even so, Sera herself inherited the defensive, healing powers of the Snow Phoenix, while her older brother Thoma inherited some of the fire phoenix's power - Two phoenixes who were originally siblings, now echoed in Sera and her brother, linked closely together just the same as the originals.

However, despite Sera embodying the Snow Phoenix in just about every way - defensive and protective in nature, rose from her 'ashes' to keep moving forward (multiple times over her life, actually, this girl SHOULD have died several times over and managed to survive), an affinity for ice magic/abilities, ranged fighting, a healer, hiding in the form of a snow leopard/human/snow fox, etc., that's all for another post and not this one which is already longer than I intended it to be - she isn't strong enough to use it, at least not in full. The circumstances of her life/lives have made it so that while she HAS the power within her, she's too physically weak to access it, and using it in full would more than likely kill her - Though she can access incredibly tiny fractions of it when she desperately needs it, or with the aid of Zack and Thoma, her soulmate and the single blood relative/member of her birth family she has left she's super close to.

This lore also fits into just about everything I have running for her; reincarnation and rebirth is a thing across all my blogs (every verse and AU is another lifetime for the muse, with them all being connected in the end by being the same person reborn into a new life with the same soul, changed only by the timeframe and circumstances they're born into, otherwise the exact same person), and the snow phoenix follows her through all of them. In GI, it's an old power caught up in the rebirth cycle, in FF7 it was a familiar of Shiva she aided into gaining human form - Nothing like an ancient in any form, but a being connected to the goddess and the elements (who still needs materia even with her innate abilities), and so on.

This... This isn't implemented YET because I need to figure out how to rewrite the phoenix myth and organically insert it into Sera's stuff, but this is... This is just Sera. This is my girl, and it's taken me over a decade to FINALLY figure out this is what she's had lingering within her, even though I've known there's something there for a looooong time. I want to make SURE it makes sense and doesn't step on toes when I add it in, or buck anything in canon lores for any of the verses, and I really want it to work out - And since Sera is inherently fandomless/multifandom at her core, it should be easy enough to do that?

But also I've been rambling for FOREVER here so I'll cut this one here XD I'm just?? So excited to finally know what's going on with Sera in more detail, and I have SO MUCH MORE I'm working on on top of this! <3

#warofthebeasts #Out Of Poms [OOC] #Questioning A Flower [Asks] #Long Post #I was talking with Kasa about this yesterday - We were wondering why it is Thoma and Sera are SO close #Despite how they grew up? And how they seem to have an incredible understanding of each other that really goes far beyond anything other #than how ZACK understands her - And they literally share a soul as soulmates #I have SO MUCH LORE for this girl it's incredible and I love her so much #But I want to make sure her lore also fits in with what I have going for her before I add it in full #I'm not going to step on canon to make her 'special' - I REFUSE #So I wanted to be able to confidently say 'canon says this works' before I add it into any verses #But Sera as a fandomless/multifandom OC? THIS APPLIES NOW #May be time to bring back my fiery OC with this- #XD Sorry for the insanely long babble #I love talking about HCs and the like and I can go for FOREVER if I'm allowed #For all my muses XD

[constellationcrowned]

((I want everyone to keep something in mind in regards to this blog and this is going to sound like a general, common sense post (and in a way it is) but it's also hi I'm in your house, whispering into your ear, telling you to call ga//amestop and ask them if they have bat//tleto//ads---, blah blah, basically it's personal too:

With me, regardless of blog or content, both communication and engagement go hand in hand. Communication and engagement needs to go both ways.

I love posting and reblogging memes and calls and will continue to do so but you folks---old mutual or new mutual doesn't matter---need to take the initiative yourself sometimes too. Be enthusiastic. Be spontaneous. Be proactive. I don't want to ask people to write with me all of the damn time nor do I want to chase after people all of the time because if I have to do that constantly over and over again it starts feeling incredibly one sided even when it isn't (because ofc people have lives, specific interests, anxiety, and whatever else which are all things that I deal with myself and I understand how that can stop someone from doing something, but that's how it feels especially over an extended period of time) and I don't need to explain how disheartening and draining that can be.

My seeming to interact with only one person---and for both of my blogs it's @magioffire and we all know that---it's not because we're being stuck up, elitist or whatever inane and incorrect term people want to throw at our feet it's because we engage and communicate. The give and take between us (both from an ic and ooc standpoint) never feels imbalanced or even transactional (I really hate using that word but, again I gotta stress this, that's how this makes me feel) and I have never felt like I needed to chase them down for an interaction or had to fight for a scrap of their time---which feels like a feat bc Blair has a lot of people scrambling at their door---and I cannot tell you how huge that is. That sounds like a huge sweeping thing to say, I know, but I mean it in all of the little ways too. I could post some stupid bullshit on here; not a starter or a meme just a little random muse thought or observation, and 100% of the time here comes Blair telling me what they think or adding on to it or just...whatever. They're here for both me and my muses for the big and small things, whenever I've asked and, more often than not, when I haven't (or couldn't) and that's incredibly important. It's that kind of stuff that makes what we have special and that's putting it super lightly. And yes, our relationship both as friends and as writers has developed over a long time, and we did click immediately that's true, but there's never been any doubt to cast upon the work and effort both of us have put forth.

And this post isn't to say that I'm demanding constant or immediate attention from you all---because, again, we all have lives, health issues, etc, etc, and all of that takes precedence over a hobby as I've said before and will say again and again---but....put some effort into it when you have the capability. Yes, like the calls that I post or send a meme in, absolutely, but also message me on your own and ask a question or shoot a muse a random prompt or just @ me in a post. Show me some enthusiasm and engagement on your end because right now it feels like I'm doing all the work all of the time and that's tiring. I'm tired of handing stuff to people all of the time---I'll keep doing it, obviously, because I need and want to engage on my end and love throwing stuff at people and providing opportunities---all I'm asking for is understanding and reciprocation.

If you can't reciprocate for whatever reason? Tell me.

If you're unsure about something, no matter what that something is? Tell me.

If you need help or even a specific kind of accommodation in order for us to start interacting or continue interacting? Tell me.

Don't just assume that I don't want to write with you or that you can't ask me for things. Don't assume that I'm being a snob or whatever else just because I seem to be paying attention to a certain mun full time because do you know what that actually is? That's friendship. That's effort. That's me giving back what I've been given. That's me reciprocating the enthusiasm, love and creativity that I've been handed, nothing more. There's nothing unobtainable or gatekeep-y about that either, you just need to be earnest and forthcoming with me and I can assure you that I'll return the favor in kind.))

#;;ooc: mun muttering #long post #this isn't a guilt trip of any sort (it doesn't even feel right calling it a vent tbh) I'm just being earnest in my point here #I'm tired of constantly pulling teeth (and this is an issue for both old and new mutuals rather than one over the other) #it just....doesn't feel good. there shouldn't be this much of a struggle for *any* of us #and are we all going to end up on the same level as what I have with Blair? No absolutely not and that's not what I'm asking for #the difference between them and you all is the lack of struggle and just...the earnestness to put it mildly #I'm honestly tired of people trying to give me shit for writing w/ them so much because??? why wouldn't I??? #getting mad because I'm having a blast with someone who wants to write with me and actually does/tells me? that's nothing to be jealous of! #in fact you should strive for it yourself!! you could have it all too if you just crawled out of your own hole and thought for a second #I am incredibly fucking lucky and blessed to write with Blair; they've greatly influenced me both as a person and as a writer; #and every day I return that kindness and attention with more (hopefully) great content regardless of what or who we're writing #because they do the exact same thing for me every single day and that should be celebrated #stop wasting time trying to pit people against each other or feeling left out and actually step in yourself #I've said this before and I'll say it again: the main thing holding you back from interacting with me is you #so think about it and just...get over whatever is telling you that you can't and just do the fuckin thing. come have fun

After chatting it out with @yoroiis and @waltzofphoenix, I've gone and done a little updating again! <3

I've moved the 'Divergences From Canon' section from my rules to a page of their own! It's split up by character and is a little easier to read, rather than trying to summarize 4 regions' worth of info into a single paragraph and still make it make sense. It should also be fully up to date with the end of the Fontaine quest!

Please note though that the Divergences page can and will be edited regularly as things change with the muses/between myself and my partners, and as the game's plot progresses and gives us new information. All changes will be announced/listed out in an update post like this when they happen - I don't like changing things like this on my blog without making it known to partners as I do them. <3

I'm in the progress of updating the abouts for Kyros, Rosalee, and Kagota now that the main Fontaine Archon Quest is done. Rosalee gains a vision by the en of it, Kyros is is tending to family matters, and Kagota has a bigger role in things as well as a new power under her belt, and will have a post detailing this role in a few minutes, which will also be linked to in the divergences page. These updates will be completed in the coming days, as there's still a few things I need to decide on!

Some rules have been rewritten. On skimming through my rules page, I realized there are some that seem overly harsh without explaining why, and I wanted to soften the wording on them and explain why they're in place. <3

There's a new sideblog to this blog in @crystalinetide! It's a singlemuse blog for Astra Fellheart, a Fontanian woman who come from a family heavily involved in Fontaine's mining industry, and while selective like this blog, is open for interaction!

I think that's all for this update - If I missed anything I'll make mention of them later. Hope y'all are having a good day! <3

#Out Of Poms [OOC] #Updating Pom.EXE [Blog Update] #I wanted to hold off on everything Fontaine from the point of the traveler showing up for a while #Because I wanted to know what happens before I really threw the muses into too much with it? #That way we weren't stepping on canon's toes or anything or contradicting something without enough info #Glad we did because WOW THAT WAS SOMETHING- #My first time being here for a new region dropping so XD #I do have plans for yet unmentioned future muses too but right now I'm focused on getting everyone else updated #Kag has had the biggest role though so she's going to get her own update post here in a couple <3 #Nasty headache is distracting me XD #BUT Kasa and Knight and I have been carefully talking things out and it's update time so <3
