GETTING TO KNOW ME!

i was tagged by @xie-wang thank you so much!!! and because obviously it took my forever to get round to actually doing this (i'm so sorry) since then i was tagged by @haleths and @manwesbreath too thank you loves!!! 💜

why did you choose your URL?

i don't really remember the process but originally it was for my tolkien sideblog so obviously i wanted something that fits the theme and i love glorfindel and it was the only one i could think of

any side-blogs? name them and why you have them.

none, and after having like ten sideblogs for years i gotta say i'm really enjoying being annoying on main and i'd like to formally apologize to everyone who followed me back here out of loyalty after following only one of my old blogs (most likely the tolkien one) with more specific content and now has to put up with whatever the hell this is

how long have you been on tumblr?

4 years i think?

do you have a queue tag?

bold of you to assume i even use the queue and don't just reblog fifty posts in one go, leave for a couple of hours and then repeat

why did you start your blog in the first place?

this blog specifically because i was tired of my old one and felt like i wasn't really able to be myself on there but i feel like this question is more about how you ended up on tumblr to begin with in which case for me it was seeing star wars textposts reposted on instagram fan accounts back when we were waiting for tlj to be released and i decided to check out the source?

why did you choose your icon?

because it's hanguang-june babeyy

why did you choose your header?

i don't think there even was a thought process behind it, i just wanted something new since i was redoing my theme a bit for pride and it was the only thing i could think of so i went with it

what’s your post with the most notes?

this eowyn one i made for tolkienweek i think?

how many followers do you have?

134

how many people do you follow?

176

have you ever made a shitpost?

at one point i'm sure i have but not recently i don't think?? my sense of humour is basically nonexistent until it's like 4am and i'm too exhausted to have any reservations about saying whatever's on my mind so it's not really my genre

how often do you use tumblr each day?

more than i'm willing to admit

did you have a fight/argument with a blog once?

nothing big, i did use to get into fights when i started out because i was really petty but since then i've either become a better person or just gotten too tired, but i think the last time someone tried to start shit with me was in the led zeppelin fandom for suggesting that we should maybe stop constantly sexualising the band members which didn't go down too well shdvdjsx

how do you feel about ‘you need to reblog this post’?

best way to ensure i won't reblog it <3

do you like tag/ask games?

oh absolutely, nothing like a socially acceptable excuse to talk about myself 😌

which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

i mean that's a question of perspective but shockingly enough a solid amount of them are? no idea how they even put up with me

do you have a crush on a mutual?

if we've interacted twice i am in love with you i don't make the rules but i would actually die for some of you and you know who you are so no need to expose my blatant favouritism 😌

aand finally i'm tagging @afklints @thcrin @coralinejoines @sapphirecastles and @passingthetime if you feel like doing it? 🌷

#this has been sitting in my drafts for almost a week and i keep adding like two new answers and rephrasing another never finishing it #but here we go thank you again for the tag!!! #tag games

Rules & Preferences

***UPDATED DECEMBER 29th, 2017***

I know this looks daunting, but most of it is basic stuff.

1. I don’t rp via Tumblr messenger or any other messaging platform.

I like to go back and reread my threads through the reblogs. Plus, I prefer to keep all of my writing public.

2. No NSFW or smut.

Both mun and most muses are 18+, but NSFW themes will not be explicitly written on this blog.

3. We do NOT have to be mutuals to start a thread.

If you want to plot, but I happen to not be following you, by all means, let’s talk! Just shoot me a message on Tumblr or any of these platforms, and let’s plan something!

On another note, even of we do have an active thread, I may not be following you. This is not a personal thing directed towards you. I typically don’t follow blogs that regularly write NSFW threads, but I will still interact with them in an SFW thread without following them. I also might unfollow someone who does not cut their posts, and they clog up my dash. Again, not a personal thing, just trying to keep my dash clean.

4. You don’t have to follow through with my request to write together.

If I ever message you about plotting, and you’re not interested, just tell me. I’m not going to be offended if you’re not interested in my characters or my style or anything, but I would hope you will be respectful enough to come tell me you’re not interested rather than ignoring my request. 

5. Please be honest with me.

If you’re bored and want to drop a thread, just tell me, and we will let it go - plain and simple, no hard feelings.

6. I reserve the right to drop a thread for any reason.

If I am unable to come up with a reply or feel uncomfortable with the content of our thread, I will come talk to you about dropping it. This is nothing against you as the writer. It is just very stressful for me to force myself to keep up with a thread that I have no interest in or am uncomfortable with. 

7. This is a selective blog.

I have tried being non-selective and semi-selective, but, like I said, forcing myself to write a thread that I have no interest in or am uncomfortable with is very stressful and exhausting. I will be honest (and nice) with you about where I stand on starting a thread when you come to me. I also may not have an idea in that moment, but I could come up with an idea later on that I think would work well with your muse, so a no now does not mean a no forever.

8. My replies can be selective.

Sometimes my muse is stronger for one character or one thread over another. I will keep any threads that I owe replies to in my drafts so I can reply when I feel like I have a good response. This can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, but I will not drop a thread without coming to you to tell you.

9. Do not assume things about my muse(s).

Got a question about my muse? Ask me! Or, better yet, ask them. Please don’t assume something about my muse and act upon that assumption without confirming it first.

10. No godmodding.

This one really should go without having to be said. I’m more lenient with this than I should be, but you writing for my muse is extremely restrictive to my creative process.

11. Read the information about my blog that I provide for you.

I have worked very hard to make sure this blog is easy-to-read and accessible on desktop, the mobile site, AND the mobile app. Please make sure to at least read my rules and the bio of the muse you are interacting with.

On desktop: Links to my welcome page, about page, rules, mun bio, muse bios, and FAQ are available in the sidebar of my blog’s homepage.

On the mobile site/app: Links to my welcome page, about page, mobile navigation, drafts, and blog page are available in the description of my blog.

If, for some reason, you are unable to access either/any of these things, let me know, so I can get them to you in some form or another.

12. I am on mobile 98% of the time.

I have found ways to finagle just about everything, so I can do almost everything on mobile that I can do on desktop. However, if your desktop theme is not mobile-friendly, I may not be able to find links and such and will come to you to ask for those before attempting to interact.

13. I have a specific format for my posts.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with how rping on mobile works, when you remove the reblogs on a text post, the first post stays, and everything after that is removed. However, if you remove the reblogs on the computer, all of the posts are removed.

Since I rp on mobile, I use that first post to make a title/header for my threads. This header includes the thread title, the URL of my partner, and the name of their character. Throughout the thread, even when reblogs are removed, the title of the thread will stay on top as the first post. 

If you use desktop and we are writing together, PLEASE do not remove the reblogs from your computer. I am very diligent about keeping threads cut via mobile, so they should not be long posts when they get to you. If you remove the reblogs on your computer, it will remove my title post, and I will have to redo it before we continue our thread.

Other than that, I don’t use any fancy text or icons, but I don’t mind if you do on your own blog. Just don’t delete my title post.

14. I will not write threads in which muses are heavily drinking, smoking, or using drugs.

I will not interact with muses who do any of these things. It makes me incredibly uncomfortable and anxious, especially when it comes to alcohol.

15. I don’t curse, but I don’t care if you do.

Same for my muses. They won’t curse within a thread, but they won’t mind if yours do.

16. I don’t care about your spelling/grammar/punctuation mistakes.

I’m a magazine editor irl, and I have a natural affinity for spelling/grammar/punctuation. That being said, I know I make mistakes, and, nine times out of ten, I catch those mistakes and choose not to correct them. This is a hobby for me, so I’m not a stickler for making everything perfect.

17. I try to match length when I can.

Usually my replies are a 1-3 sentences long (One sentence replies being complex sentences), especially when are muses are in an interaction. Long paragraphs can, at times, be daunting to me, but I will always strive to match length.

18. I am the shippiest bean known to man.

If you want to ship with me, let’s talk about it. I want to make sure our muses fit well together so that we can enjoy a nice, meaningful relationship between them.

19. I prefer to plot rather than send in random starters.

This mostly applies to first interactions. I ask a LOT of questions, especially right before I start a new thread, because I want to make sure I understand what you want and how the thread will go. 

20. I do not rp with non-human muses.

I prefer to rp with human muses, especially when starting out with a new partner. I don’t know much about human-animal hybrids or mythical creatures (not that these muses aren’t amazingly-written or valid), and I have a hard time learning and retaining new information about them. If your muse is non-human (demon, vampire, werewolf, witch/wizard, neko, other), and you think you could make a case for them to rp with me, go for it. I’m definitely open to listen and hear what you have to say, but I can’t ensure I will be up for it.

If you made it through this in one piece, congrats! And thank you so much for taking the time to look into my blog.

Have fun 💛
