Misconceptions, Miscommunication, and Misinformation Pt81

Inspired by @ozmav Maribat AU

AO3 Beginning Previous Next

As soon as the portal closed behind them Chloe and Luka dropped their transformations. Marinette was once again piggybacking Chloe as they turned to look at Tikki and the other Kwami. She hadn't wanted to transform again because she wasn’t certain what Tikki had done and was worried the other four would disappear along with her. She couldn’t afford to have the League members find out if they were just temporary, and she had no way to ask Tikki with them all there.

“You couldn’t have given me some type of heads up or warning?” It was so strange talking to Tikki while she was in human form. It also hadn’t escaped her that all five of the Kwami were in her designs and she wasn’t sure whether she should be flattered or if Tikki had just picked the first things that had come to mind.

“I’m sorry Marinette. I’m tired of watching them treat you like that and I had to do something. I was going to discuss this with you to see if you were okay with it but I really do think you could use the extra help and they volunteered.” So not temporary then, that would require some serious thought. “As I said Plagg can destroy their bodies so if you don’t want to keep them here it’s an easy fix.”

“It’s not that.” Marinette just sighed. This was just one more complication that she really didn’t know how to deal with at this point. “They’ll need identities, papers, and I have no idea how to go about getting those. I’ll need to look for a much bigger place than I was thinking and I’m not sure I can afford that yet and be able to renovate it for wheelchair access as well. Not to mention-” She cut off as Damian shoved his phone in her face. She’d noticed him on it but assumed he was trying to calm down his family. On the screen was a huge house not too far from her current school.

“What do you think of this?” She could only blink at the screen for a moment before she grabbed the phone to get it at a better distance so she could read it properly. It wasn’t a house either, it was a freaking mansion. Twelve bedrooms, fourteen bathrooms, two kitchens for crying out loud, and that wasn’t counting the guest house, or groundskeepers house or whatever it was. It was three stories plus a basement but it did have an elevator. Then she looked at the price.

“Damian there’s no way I can afford that right now, and honestly it’s probably too big.” He was shaking his head before she’d even finished.

“You don’t need to afford it. Since I’m staying here for the foreseeable future I need a more permanent residence that lives up to the Wayne name and can house whatever family members happen to show up. If it happens that when I end up leaving Paris you like it and can afford it you can buy it from my father, but until then since you’re such a ‘good influence’ on me he thinks us staying in the same residence will be beneficial to the both of us. And don’t worry about documentation for your new friends, Alfred is already preparing everything.”

She could only stare at him. He’d said everything in such a matter of fact tone, as though her answer were a foregone conclusion. She wanted to be annoyed with him but she knew it was his way of showing support and caring. She looked back at the phone and really looked at the pictures. The front entrance didn’t have steps and there were at least two bedrooms on the first floor. Even with the elevator she’d rather not have to be dependent on it in case of repairs or power outages. It could work.

“Fine, but I’m paying for any renovations that need to be made for me. And I’m paying rent since there will be five of us living there and I have a feeling Chloe will be there more often than not.” Damian just raised an eyebrow at her.

“I can tell my father that but he won’t listen. This won’t be a drain on our resources at all and he’ll want you to save for your future. I will try to talk to him though.” That sounded about right. When you have money to just throw at a problem you don’t necessarily consider how other people will see it. Damian was tapping away on his phone again and frowning in annoyance.

“He says if it will make you feel better about it you can be the family designer and instead of rent comp the materials. Sadly enough that probably will work out about right given how many of us there are.” She blinked at that. Sure, the materials wouldn’t be cheap but the exposure she’d get from the Waynes wearing her designs exclusively would far outweigh the cost. Damian was now scowling at his phone. “He also wants to see if you’d be willing to work with our R&D department to make materials for protection that can be put into all sorts of clothing. We actually commissioned you for suits with Kevlar once and he was very impressed with both the utility and design.”

“I remember those. It was a fun challenge if a rather odd request. Granted I didn’t think it was too strange given the amount of people in the public eye that get attacked.” But could she really just let Bruce Wayne pay for her housing like this? Wouldn’t people talk? It could hurt his reputation to be housing a teenager. At best they would think he was keeping his son happy by keeping his girlfriend close, at worst… she didn’t even want to think about it.

“He also wants to circulate a story that you were attacked after you revealed yourself as the designer behind Functional Fashion and that’s how you were paralyzed. Between that and having you actually work with Wayne Enterprises it would make sense that we would be concerned about your safety enough to house you in a secure location.” But would it?

“What if my parents technically lived there as well? Maybe even in the guest house or whatever. They wouldn’t be there much because of the bakery but I think it would help with the public image if they were part of it as well.” She didn’t realize until she said it that it meant she was agreeing to this plan. Given the satisfied look on Damian’s face he realized it too.

“And we can have the Kwami make appearances as your staff. Digg would obviously be a bodyguard. Primm looks more like a customer service type or receptionist, and Jett perhaps something with design or tailoring? They don’t have to actually do anything but if the press thinks they’re living at the house because that’s your base of operations it would help. Lyccen…” He seemed at a loss for the Kwami of Anarchy. Granted they could change her look if they had to but she had a feeling Tikki had chosen their attire for a reason.

“Personal assistant. The way people view the disabled everyone will assume my having someone with me all the time to help with things is completely normal.” As much as she hated to say it, it was true. If she could afford to pay someone to help her with normal day to day tasks that were ‘harder’ in a wheelchair no one would question it. Especially since she’d only just lost the use of her legs. As much as she wanted to be independent she could see the use of having a ruse in place to make it seem like she wasn’t. “But how do you plan to get around the fact that there was no police report? Or hospital stay for that matter?” It was a problem she’d been trying to figure out herself. How was she just supposed to show back up paralyzed when she had absolutely no explanation or proof for what happened.

“My father invited you to Gotham to talk about this collaboration and you were attacked there. We are very private and prefer to deal with things in house so it won’t be hard for him to convince the Commissioner to make a report after the fact. We can falsify medical and travel records easily enough.” It was amazing how much morally gray area there was when all you’re doing is trying to save the world.

march fic recommendations

hello! so I think we all know that sometimes we don’t appreciate writers as much as we should here on tumblr. they are amazing people that write some wonderful stories for us (for free) and they put a lot of time and effort into doing so. to honor that, each month, I’m going to be posting a fic rec list with a whole bunch of stories I have recently read and loved, and that I want to share with you all. and if you find some you like? let that author know their work is appreciated!! (let’s all support authors more!)

Bucky Barnes x Reader

Hold My Girl by @captain-ariel-barnes - this one HURTS let me just tell you. it is absolutely beautiful and does a wonderful job at not only portraying bucky, but also the feeling that I'm sure a lot of couples who were split up because of wwii felt. like I said this story is amazing but it left me crying and my heart hurting - in the best way possible!

Soft by @chillingbucky - oh my goodness did this story hit home for me. for the most part, I’ve been pretty confident with my body but also have wanted to change to boost that confidence even more and then felt worse when I didn’t stick through with my new plan.this story perfectly encapsulates those feelings and it nearly brought me to tears over how incredible bucky was at comforting the reader. when I read this it was the first story I read that day and it put me in such a great mindset!!

Lifelong Love Song Series by @suz-123 - even though this is not a bucky x reader (it’s an oc), this story is beautiful and the way it portrays bucky just feels so right and so spot on. there is fluff, angst, hurt, comfort, love, everything in this story. you should definitely read this series!

The House by @softlybarnes - ahhhh!! that is what I have to say for this story because it is so darn cute! bucky just makes me swoon (as always) and there is a great relationship between him and the reader! also, now I really want to fall in love and buy a fixer-upper house with the guy I marry. overall, if you want something fluffy that is extremely well written, this is one of those stories.

Truth Hurts by @ussgallifreyfics - this story is so different than other fics that tackle this same topic, but it the best way possible! the beginning hurts, but slowly bucky starts to come into the story and it is so sweet. not only that, but there is a lot of power from within the reader, which is AWESOME! heck yeah we can rescue ourselves (but if Bucky wants to help as well, I won’t be mad lol)

Lemon Pie Series by @nacho-bucky - I have reread this series like three times already, and it is just perfection! not only do we get 40′s bucky, but we get a HAPPY BUCKY WHO SURVIVES THE WAR AND GETS TO START A FAMILY! Each chapter/snippet is just so beautifully written, and I get pulled into the story each and ever time. bucky just makes me want to swoon, and if I don’t find someone who treats me the way bucky treats the reader in this series, I do not what I will do. but, this and all cait’s stories are amazing so please go read this, it will make your day!

Thomas Shelby x Reader

If Only You Knew by @im-not-looking-for-forgiveness - while this is technically a tommy x reader story, it really focuses on the friendship between the reader and lizzie stark, which I absolutely loved! it is such a healthy change to see lizzie portrayed in a nice way instead of a bitch as she often is written in stories. we love girls supporting girls, which is this story!

My Dear Charlie by @kadwrites -again, another story that is technically tommy x reader, but focuses on a different relationship, and this time it is between the reader and charlie! what I love about this story is, it highlights the love that one can feel for a child that isn’t biologically theirs, which is just a reminder of how important it is to show our love to others and to demonstrate our appreciation to those who do love us. also, I love that this story focuses on an older charlie, which is something I haven’t really seen yet.

Matches by @rhxegals - now this one really does focus on tommy and the reader, and I adore it! we get to see the reader confront tommy and I love when the reader is his equal in the sense that neither of them stand for being lied to or being left out of things. not only that, but we also see a more vulnerable side of tommy, and we get to understand his protective side a bit more which I am also a fan of!

this drabble by @connerkennt - it is short and sweet but powerful! it really shows (again) how protective tommy is over those he loves and I adore protective tommy! (alfie also plays a role in this drabble, which is always a plus!)

John Shelby x Reader

Something Unexplained by @justauthoring - man do I love john shelby, and if you do too, this is the story for you. just the way that olivia describes how john loves the reader makes my heart absolutely gush! I don’t want to spoil anything, so you just have to read it! (and there are so many other wonderful stories on this blog to check out after you finish this one!)

Steve Rogers x Reader

Beauty and the Beast AU by @kayteewritessteve - I am so so glad I found this story when I did so that I can include it on this list! au’s are some of my favorite stories to read/write, and the fact that this is beauty and the beast and mob!steve is absolutely amazing!! kaytee does such a wonderful job with drawing you into the story and really making you feel the power and emotions of the scene! only the first few chapters are up now, but they are great!

Peter Parker x Reader

Moving On by @midtownpetey - my goodness, this one really hits right in the feels! I was tearing up throughout this entire story, because it is so beautifully written and really highlights the process of moving on when losing a loved one. it is not a graphic story, but the healing aspect, learning to move on when you feel like you can’t, that’s really what got me!

Harry Potter x Reader

Under the Stars by @lvmosity - this story is just pure fluff and it’s an actually harry potter story, which I feel like is so rare here on tumblr. anyway, I love how it’s just the reader and the golden trio worried about getting dates for the yule ball! there’s no underlying threat, just teens being teens, and harry being adorably awkward!

Scott Lang x Reader

Blue Dresses and Daises by @mypassionsarenysins - I just want to take this moment to appreciate the heck out of this story because it is absolutely amazing! not only is it a scott lang story (who is severely underappreciated! which why? he’s a dork and it’s paul rudd!) but this story is just filled with so much love that it makes me so happy and smiley. definitely a good one if you’re feeling down or you just want something extra fluffy!

Bonnie Gold x Reader

Ring Girl by @blinder-secrets - okay so I recently just got into bonnie gold stories, and man am I glad I did because this one is wonderful! bonnie is just so cute but he is also so protective over the reader, and it makes my heart swell! I love when you can feel how intense a relationship is through writing, and that’s what this is.

Roger Taylor x Reader

Hold Me Close Before I Go by @queenrogah - sobbing, just pure sobbing! well first of all, this story is slightly inspired by the song ‘so close’ from enchanted and I LOVE that song, so I was hooked from the beginning. but this story is very angsty but also mixes together so beautiful to tell this story of lost love between roger and the reader. it combines the past and the present so well, that truly tugs at your heartstrings for an emotional roller-coaster that is so worth it!

Long Distance by @dreamer821 - alright this is super long, but I promise it is so worth reading!! from the beginning, I was hooked and I got to witness this amazing story and all the love there is between roger and the reader. there is a bit of smut in this story, but the whole story really goes to show how powerful love is even when two people aren’t always near each other. it’s one of those stories that can restore your faith in love!

Laurie Laurence x Reader

Lost Love by @lotsoffandomimagines - ever since I saw little women in theaters, I have been looking for a laurie story, and this is the first one I found. oh my goodness, it is AMAZING, and I truly hope that there is a second part. but this story just draws you in and makes you fall for laurie, then comes there with that ending! I know I’m not describing this as best as I could, but trust me, the writing is beautiful and it wonderfully emotional. go read it! (also the gif of laurie is perfect!)

What I Wished I Said by @lillie-writes - do you want an angsty laurie story? well, here you go! this story is the form of the letter, and it made me tear up by the time I reached the end. it is so simple, but so heartbreaking. you can just feel how much laurie loves the reader and how much he wants to apologize, and I just wanted to find a way to hug him and comfort him. you will not be disappointed with this story!

Ransom Drysdale x Reader (Knives Out)

this drabble by @terry-perry- oh my goodness!! alright, first, I love knives out, and second, I love chris evans as ransom drysdale in that movie even though he is an asshole. however, this drabble does a wonderful job at showing a different side of ransom and how dedicated he and the reader are to their relationship!

Haunted by @et-lesailes = this is such a powerful story! now there is a trigger warning for this one so please be mindful of that but this story does a wonderful job at tackling such a difficult topic and how sometimes opening to another person can be exactly what you did. (and we also get to see more soft, non-asshole ransom which is always great!)

Ether Solrac: I have come with even more Chloé Couffaine AU headcanons and these are even crazier than the last.

*First off, I've been thinking of a miraculous this Chloé could use and honestly I think the best fit is actually the dragon. Think about it, dragons are usually powerful but vilainized by the people and they're known for being super possessive of their hoard. What better match for an absolute rebel with a heart of gold that's super protective of her family and friends that she sees as her hoard. Sort of a "I'll become the monster so that no one else has to" thing.

* On that note I think Sabrina should get the bee. The bee is supposed to be a representation of will right? Make her story about her learning to speak up for herself as she stands up to her father and overcomes her self-doubts to learn to follow her own morals/values and become a truly independant person. Sort of learning to be her own "queen"

* Now there was an ask that mentioned a Chloé x Sabrina x Alix polyship and now I absolutely love the idea. Spin around the original concept of them being the mean girl squad and instead make them Team Rebel. Chloé and Alix are already best friends and they see this sweet innocent girl in desperate need of letting her feral side out so they almost immediately adopt her as part of the group.

* The connection between Chloé and Sabrina has more or less been cemented but I was thinking of something extra crazy for the Chloé and Alix part. This Alix is one that has already altered the timeline. She comes from a timeline where Chlolix was a already established and they had a more or less canon Chloé that has been through her redemption.

One day she gets warned of an urgent anamoly way back in the past, she stops it from causing a catastrophic event but in doing so, there was an unintended butterfly effect that set up the Chloé Couffaine universe. Alix is conflicted becuase as much as she wants to change things back she can't risk the timeline, not only that, but this Chloé looks so much happier than her own, so open and happy with the girl she is, that she can't bring herself to change that either. So now she has mixed feelings seeing the girl she technically loved be so different and yet so similar at the same time.

It probably doesn't help that this Chloé has made her the best friend and can be incredibly affectionate with those she truly cares about and trusts. She ends up falling for this Chloé just as hard, if not harder, than the "original" Chloé.

As for Alix and Sabrina, she quickly admits that Chloé was right when she said that Sabrina was "a precious cinamon roll that must be protected at all costs." Without the damage canon chloe did, this Sabrina is still shy but not as afraid to actually open up. And when she does, Alix is floored by how great a conversationalist Sabrina can be, and how much she enjoys listening to the girl speak her mind. Both her and Chloé become determined to solidify this side of her and even bring out that feral streak they've been catching glimpses of.

* For the student council elections Sabrina actually becomes the president with the support of Chloé and Alix in an attempt to bring her out of her shell. Also this helps give Marinette a god damn break becuase holy shit that girl does not need so much on her plate...

* Caline has a huge crush on Anakra ever since she first met her at a parent-teacher conference. Chloé is their biggest shipper. (Also this is here becuase this blog created this ship and so it shall remain until its final days. Is it a blessing? Is it a curse? I personally love it, but I'll let you all be the judge.)

* Chloé has a pair of pitch black pilot sunglasses that she puts on whenever she thinks "shits about to go down." Anyone remember Ash's Squirtle and how it always took out its sunglasses whenever it wanted to be dramatic as fuck? That's Chloé.

I'm sure I'll think of more but I think that's enough for one post.

——

FFFFFFFUCK I LOVE THAT.

POOR ALIX OH SHIT

I think unrequited Chlolix is amazing, especially with these timeline shenanigans, especially if she’s keeping that hidden even after Chlobrina hits canon. It’s melancholic.

I’m now imagining some “TELL YOUR DARKEST SECRET” akuma showing up and hitting Alix- Chloe somehow gets pulled into it, and they pass out.

They fall into Alix’s mind, into a replica of where they fell asleep, then It warps the world and like some screen projector, shows what happened. Chloe watches a brief moment of the past timeline in silence, of the loving looks in her own and alix’s eyes, Alix waving at Chloe and saying she’ll be back once the timeline is fixed, and how that never happened.

She looks back at a shaken and horrified Alix, who never wanted Chloe Couffaine to see that. From both shame, guilt, and hurt. And it’s just.. painful cause Chloe Couffaine just doesn’t see Alix that way and can’t force herself to. And Alix just smiles and says “I know. You’ve always done what you wanted. It’s what I love about you. Here and then.”

She just goes silent before speaking again “Im really happy, that, you’re happy. You know. That’s all I’ve ever wanted you to be. Happy. Okay. and you are right now, and that’s everything to me. Even if you aren’t.. uh- mine anymore.” Chloe asks if this means Alix knows who her birth mom is and Alix nods, but says “Trust me, I think it’s good that you don’t know” and Chloe nods. They hug, and Alix does her best not to break down, but after seeing those memories again- she can’t hold it in, and she admits that it genuinely feels like someone she loved died.

The projection dies and they’re left in the room again. Chloe being conflicted a bit, as she had no idea and felt a little hurt that Alix never told her, and Alix feeling tired.

No one asks what happened.

#chloe couffaine au #because fuck you ya know?#chlobrina #chlolix #ether-solrac #submission #writing

you’re fuckin (coco)nuts

idek, @suddenly-im-respecsable told me i should become a coconut engineer and then we astral projected for this and somehow it turned into “WRITE A CRACK FIC FOR THIS” and then i did

warnings: dumbassery

ship: platonic sprace, ralbert

editing: nooooo its about FUCKING COCONUTS

word count: 1250 ish

“God this is just what I needed,” Race smiled serenely as he settled onto his towel, handing Spot one of the pina coladas he’d gotten from the small stand by their resort.

A long year spent working extra hours and saving up money had lead the two boys to Oahu, Hawaii for their Spring Break. Admittedly, it’d still put a significant dent in their wallets, which wasn’t entirely ideal considering they were graduating college in a few months and probably couldn’t afford to go bankrupt. But, things had been stressful recently and this was self care.

“Me fucking too, man,” Spot agreed, sitting up and pushing his sunglasses up his nose as he accepted the drink from Race, “and this weather is fucking sexy.”

Race choked on his pina colada, spluttering for a moment before looking at Spot, “Did you just call the fucking weather sexy?”

Spot shrugged, “You got another word for it? It’s sunny and warm with that perfect cool breeze. Sexy.”

Race stared at him for a moment before facing the ocean again, shaking his head, “You’re a fucking idiot.”

Spot laughed, shifting around on his own towel to look at the ocean. It truly was beautiful. The ocean was almost impossibly turquoise and the clear water shimmered softly in the sunlight. Palm trees surrounded them on all sides, giving the area a pleasantly enclosed feeling. Like they’d found their own little universe, completely separate from everything else.

Race hummed as he became acutely aware of the sun beating down onto his shoulders and he reached around to fish a bottle of sunscreen out of his bag. He squirted a fair amount onto his hands and began lathering it onto his skin.

“Lil’ bitch,” Spot coughed, clearing his throat.

Race froze in his actions and shot an incredulous glare at Spot, “You think you’re tougher than the sun? The fucking sun?”

Spot pursed his lips, looking like he wanted to make a comeback, but falling short of an intelligent sounding one.

Race sat up straighter and continued to rub the sunscreen into his shoulders, “That’s what I thought.”

The lapsed into silence, drinking in the view and allowing their stresses to slowly drain from their minds. At one point, Spot pulled out a book and Race found himself dozing. They stayed like that for what could have been hours until Spot shut his book pointedly, using it to prod Race awake.

Race opened his eyes slowly, raising his eyebrows, “Can I help you?”

Spot stood up, shaking out his towel and successfully spraying Race with sand, “I’m bored, let’s explore.”

Race huffed indignantly, wiping the sand out of his eyes before standing as well. He rolled up his own towel and shoved it into his beach bag. He hastily slipped on his sandals before shouldering his bag and jogging to catch up with Spot, who’d already set out towards the main street of the resort.

They made it all the way to the path that led them away from the beach when a war cry sounded above them. Alarmed, they froze, heads jerking upwards in search of the source of the cry. Before Race had a chance to see anything, a large object fell out of the palm tree directly above them, nailing Spot in the head.

Spot let out a grunt, careening forwards onto his knees as his hands flew to his head.

“Spottie!” Race exclaimed, rushing forward to kneel next to him, hands hovering over his shoulders.

“Son of a bitch,” Spot bit out, voice gravelly. He lifted his head slowly, unfocused eyes fixating on the ground in front of him.

“What the fuck,” Race muttered, picking up the object that had hit Spot. It was a fucking coconut.

He looked up again, startling as he made eye contact with a guy. He had red hair and was wearing a grass skirt over a pair of floral swim shorts. He wasn’t wearing a shirt, but a large lei was secured around his neck, swaying slightly in the breeze. If Race squinted, he could see a small twig crown resting on his head. As weird as he appeared, there was an unconventional attractiveness to him.

“What the fuck,” Race repeated. He raised his voice slightly, “Hey! Who the fuck are you and why did you throw a coconut at my friend?”

The guy smiled and flipped down from the tree, landing gracefully in front of Race, “The name’s Albert, I’m the coconut engineer here.”

Race blinked, completely bewildered, gaze landing on the pair of weed vans that Albert was wearing, “You’re...you...what!?”

Albert hopped down into a sit, crossing his legs under him and propping his chin on his hand, “Coconut engineer.”

“Yeah but what the fuck is that and why did it include concussing me,” Spot snapped, still sounding pained.

“I make sure coconuts don’t fall out of trees and injure tourists,” Albert said matter-of-factly, “But you had a bad aura, so I threw a coconut at you.”

“I had a- wait what?” Spot looked vaguely like he wanted to strangle Albert and Race wasn’t convinced that he wouldn’t if he were feeling up to it.

“Bad aura,” Albert said, picking up the coconut that he’d thrown at Spot and breaking it open with his bare hands. He took a long sip of the water inside before continuing, “Looked kinda bruting and I saw you shake sand on Hottie McHottiekins from the spot in my tree. You deserved it.”

Race choked, “What’d you just call me?”

Albert looked at him innocently, “Hottie McHottiekins.”

Race blushed and Spot groaned, “Oh, no no no, please tell me you’re not considering going out with Mr. Coconuts over here.”

Race ignored him and held out a hand, “The name’s Antonio, but Race is what I go by.”

Albert shook his hand, his grip firm and confident, “Nice to meetcha, Race. Wanna go get sushi or something later?”

“Sure thing,” Race said, taking out his phone and handing it to Albert, who put his phone number in the contacts, “text me.”

XXX

Spot blinked open his eyes, the bright morning sunlight bleeding in through the blinds. His head still ached from the coconut fiasco of the previous day, but after icing it for a bit and taking some ibuprofen, it was feeling significantly better.

He rolled over and dragged himself out of bed, stumbling down the hallway a few paces to Race’s room. He knocked once before opening the door.

“Morning, I was thinking we could-” He cut himself off, eyes narrowing when he realized that Race wasn’t in his room. In fact, Race’s bed didn’t look slept in at all.

He pulled out his phone, hurriedly pulling up Race’s contact. Had Race even made it home from his date with Albert last night?

He was about to phone Race when the door to their small beach house opened. Spot whirled around to find Race staring at him, wide eyed with a hand still on the doorknob. He wasn’t wearing a shirt and a few small hickeys littered his chest. His hair was sticking up on top and we was wearing a pair of pajama pants that Spot was certain he didn’t own.

Neither of them spoke for a moment, the air thick with anticipation. Then Spot lowered his phone from his ear, which he belatedly realized he was still holding up.

“Oh my god,” he breathed, “You fucked the crazy coconut guy.”

Race’s face turned bright red.

Rules

If you have any questions, or prefer discord rp while I'm hiding, you can contact me at mindmastered#0878.

Disclaimer: There are a lot of rules here and I understand if some are forgotten occasionally. If an ask breaks a rule, I’ll just delete it. My “do not” section has the real hard and fast rules, but if you break one once or twice, don’t worry about it. This is more here for reference as to how to interact, etc.

👻 Cut me some slack ooc. I'm not always sure how or what to say, so if I'm terse or blunt it's because I'm awkward, not because I hate you.

👻 Translate emojis when sending memes. It’s not required, but occasionally the emojis don’t work on my phone so I’ll need clarification.

👻 Let me know if you need something made accessible for you!!! Bigger font, an image description, better contrast, you name it. If my theme is effed up or you can’t find something, tell me.

👻 Ask me to tag triggers/include them in your rules. I try to tag common ones, but sometimes I forget. Common triggers on this blog will be death, alcohol, some drug use, hospitals, and horror imagery.

👻 Send memes and IMs, especially if we’re mutuals, but being mutuals is not required to send them in. I will still be somewhat selective, however. If I don’t reply to an IM, I was busy when I received it and forgot to answer.

👻 Plot with me (I like plotted threads better than one liners, and an open line of communication makes plots 100% better). That said, if you come to me to plot, I don’t usually have an idea ready and would appreciate more than a “hey, can we plot?” if we’ve never spoken before. I’m also better at plotting ongoing threads because I have an idea of how our characters will interact, so if you start something small with a meme, etc. I’ll probably have more ideas.

👻 Have a rules page accessible on your blog. An about page is required for OC blogs so I can establish who your character is.

👻 Tell me if you have a side blog you want me to check out! I might not be able to get to it during a busy day, but I do want to know about it. That said:

👻 Give me a couple of days or so to follow back. I’m actually not online for most of the day despite having my queue running and occasionally I’m just too exhausted to go through all of your blog info at the moment.

👻 Like starter calls and send memes even if I haven’t answered a previous one. I run out of inspiration sometimes, but I still want to write with people.

👻 Answer my opens, tagged #open or #open rp. These are open to all, no matter what icon style or formatting I’m using. You can also tag me in random starters, especially if we’re mutuals.

👻 Let me know if you want a reply to an ongoing thread after a week. Sometimes I lose them or tumblr eats my replies without me knowing. Sometimes I also need a little help figuring out how to reply at that point.

👻 Ask for another verse or AU, even if we haven’t interacted yet. I default to New Girls verse for Ghostbusters 2016 characters, but that doesn’t have to be the case for you.

👻 Reblog headcanons and art I’ve tagged you in. Basically, if you’ve been tagged, you may reblog. Don’t reblog headcanons otherwise.

👻 Write violence, limited gore, and angst with me. I’ll let you know if it’s too much, don’t worry.

👻 Ship with me. Please ask if you’re not sure, but as long as there’s chemistry, I probably already ship it.

👻 On a related note, do ask before writing smut with me. I’m only comfortable with it with certain people (over 18 years of age, thanks) and even then I have a hard time taking anything past an R rating (I don’t really wanna talk about dicks, yo). We have to have spoken ooc for this to occur at all. Threads like this will be tagged appropriately, but I will only put them under a readmore if asked (nicely) or if I feel uncomfortable with the content myself. I will not write incest. I will not write smut with characters under 18. I won’t follow if you happen to write either, even in cases of “technical” incest (characters were raised as siblings, etc.). I’m looking at you, Royal Tenenbaums.

Don’t

👻 Send drabble prompts involving your muse or dual promo requests if our muses don’t have an established relationship through rp. They’re just a lot harder to answer without one.

👻 Start a thread if you are an OOC blog, a self insert, or a blog for a living/recently dead person. You may still send memes not intended to start a thread, however, and anons whenever you want.

👻 Harass or bully me or other people. I’ll use my best judgement on this, but if I catch anyone doing this, they will be blocked. Spam blogs will also be blocked. DO NOT send hate on my behalf. Additionally, do not contact me via IM in order to force interaction with anyone. If you send me rude messages, I will block you immediately.

👻 Reblog memes from me. I don’t believe in reblog karma, but I also don’t want a ton of irrelevant notes on my feed. I reblog from the source, meme blogs, or dead blogs if the other two cannot be found. It should be easy to find the source.

👻 Send in asks simply greeting my muse (Hi, my name is X.) Instead, jump right in and say something he can really snark at.

👻 Send starters over asks. I love IC asks, or asks from memes I have reblogged, but if you just wanna send a starter, tag me in it. This is also so I can control the number of threads I have, and so I don’t have to move it off the ask post later. I do that enough for memes (when I feel like it. I don’t always make a new post if it’s a short para thread though I do prefer regular posts to ask posts).

👻 Reblog/turn my ooc posts into discourse. They’re not conversation starters for other people. It clogs my notes. My IM is always open instead.

👻 Dispute my headcanons for my character. I do try to stick to canon, but it’s easy to interpret differently between individuals. This is my interpretation.

👻 Have your muse be related to mine, or know things they shouldn’t about my character unless we’ve previously discussed this. Occasionally I will be uncomfortable with the level of intimacy your character expresses towards mine. If Peter seems uncomfortable, it is a good sign to pull back and develop the relationship before proceeding with further intimate gestures.

👻 I am unlikely to follow back if exclusivity is required for interaction with you. Because I play fairly rare characters, I feel it is unfair of me to limit who I rp with on a basis of who I interact with already. I will, however, be selective with partners based on writing style and character written.

Please note:

👻 If I don’t know your fandom, I may have trouble writing with you and may not follow back.

👻 I will unfollow if my rules are repeatedly broken (how many times will be at my discretion), or I feel uncomfortable with the content of your blog (a lot of NSFW image posts are a good example of the latter. I am often in public when scrolling through my dash and would like to avoid accidentally exposing others who do not wish to see that kind of content). I mostly block based on negative ooc interaction or harassment. I am working on confronting others if my rules are broken, but occasionally I will not if I feel anxious about contacting you or never followed you in the first place. Feel free to contact me if I do unfollow you as long as you do so in a polite manner. Usually it’s just a tumblr glitch.
