SENTENCE MEME ⟶ OXVENTURE PRESENTS: DEADLANDS / ch7 always feel free to tweak the sentence to fit your muse.
'you've got... whatever you've got going on.'
'i, uh, died. in a duel.'
'essentially, i am no longer living, i am powered by an evil spirit.'
'to all intents and purposes, i am dead.'
'that is a detailed and unsettling explanation.'
'it's no compensation for losing your bean appetite.'
'food has no savour for me and i can't get drunk.'
'i fired bullets into the back of her head and it was all fine after that.'
'the hypocrisy of it is what stings most of all well— the murders...'
'he's only seen it written down.'
'tremendous! i need to freshen up.'
'i find it makes me more pleasant to be around.'
'murder has more of a burning, hole through the chest sensation than a sting, but...'
'i would like to buy an astonishing amount of booze, please.'
'you're going to be so flammable.'
'she mentioned that you might be by. she didn't mention the smell.'
'TNT? can we have TNT?'
'use the time you have with the ones you love.'

'it may be a crime to ask.'
'if we hang him now, he'll never do it again.'

H-huh? Cleo? Is... is that you? What's going on? You look a lot less... violent. And did you get shorter or something?
Wait... are you a survivor now? Is... is that actually you?
- Brendan
Tumblr media
Despite her neutral face, Cleo was honestly quite confused. Did she know this person? Was she supposed to know this person? It would.. kinda explain the weird sense of dread she’s getting. Whatever, clearly he knew her- although, not well enough it seemed.
"..I look less violent-? Uh.. I’m not really a violent person in the first place. Also, what do you mean by “I’m a survivor now”? I always have been. Ah, well, more accurately I only just came here and had the role given to me. You sure you’re not just confusing me for someone else?"

THE SODA POP GANG HAS ARRIVED IN PERDITION!
They’ve got the bayou in their blood. At least, that’s what they used to tell each other when they’d huddle up, their pockets empty, but their hearts full. They all came from different walks of life. Some with empty stomachs and emptier hearts. Others who were born with a silver spoon and wanted more from life than white picket fences and nuclear families. Within the haunts of Baton Rouge they found one another, all drawn together to create the family for themselves that they couldn’t find in their own lives: a family built on loyalty, love, and just the slightest bit of chaos. (READ: a LOT of chaos)
The ties that bound them together seemingly transcended what time often wears away, and now they find themselves coming together once more. It turns out that the Perdition’s pull is not unlike the bayou that they came from — a siren call, of sorts. Hopefully, though, they don’t find themselves having to bleed to survive this time around.

All this drama really highlights to me how differently people experience the internet lmfao this 24 yr old is freaking out about a 19 year old posting rape kink fics, bro i was reading fucked up dead dove fics at 13, nothing could possibly faze me now wtf
bro same, the internet was the wild wild west when i was 13. especially RE fandom. couldn't fuckin go anywhere without jill and/or claire getting fucked by dogs or something.
i got introduced to the concept of futa when i was like 10 because of DBZ fandom. and i was just like "okay this is what we're doing now i guess."
i grew up in the era of fucking goatse, man.
but modern fandom has reached a point where they can't differentiate a minor running into something or experiencing it passively and them being targeted and groomed and abused.
fanworks are not the same as real porn and real people. they're just not.
passively seeing futa art and dog sex fanart in my pre-teens wasn't abusive. it didn't hurt me. i just went "well that's weird" and i moved on because i wasn't there for futa, i was there for mirai trunks because he's my kawaii anime boyfriend XD ^_^ (and still is to this day, as a matter of fact)
you know, like. you click on a thing, you see a thing, you click off a thing. and if you get unlucky, your mom walks in and then you have to explain what the fuck you were doing and then you get grounded off the internet for like two weeks.
and nothing happens. because no one's talking to you. no one's influencing you. you can't very well groom yourself. you can't.
but people act like the existence of deviant/dark/subversive shit -- like the fact that it exists at all -- is going to turn kids into predators and make them do bad things, and it's ridiculous.
fanfiction is, in fact, the safest way to explore any of that shit, because no one gets hurt in the process of creating or consuming fanfiction. it's a solo activity that you do on your own and involves no one else. it's not the same as RP or being in a discord server.
video games don't cause school shootings, and fanfiction doesn't turn kids into predators.
i just
i don't know, man. i don't get it. it doesn't make any sense to me. this crusade to sanitize the internet has created an entire generation of sexually and emotionally repressed and stunted people, and it's sad to see.

(This is just going forwards a week. We are still doing the other rp.)
It was Chrismas and everyone decided to spend time with West. You picked out some gifts you think he will like. You enter, and Allaster had a weird looking gift. It had weels, but you can not really tell what it is. Alex was still in the wheelchair and Alex got his gift early, which was the wheelchair accessible van. You almost went broke, splitting the cost with Allaster. Alex had some gifts for West, too. Everyone had gifts for each other.
That van was so costly. Holy fucking

— get to know me !
name / pronouns?: astraea ! they / them :')
most active muse(s)?: daryl and only daryl. i've said this before, but daryl is literally a muse-eater. i've had countless other blogs and muses, and daryl squashes every single one of them every time.
rp pet peeves?: my biggest one is probably just the general lack of respect for peoples' spaces. i'm here to curate the space that i want to be in, and so is everyone else. we don't all have to like each other— blocking is not hard and it also doesn't have to be malicious !
years of experience?: it depends on what you mean by experience. because with rp and writing in general, get this... 17 years. yes, i'm 28. you can do the math there. the internet was like the wild west in the year or our lord 2007 and i would write with my friends on things like skype and weird forum websites. daryl's blog alone has been around for 10 years, believe it or not !
fluff, angst, or smut?: i will go for fluff over angst and both of those over smut most of the time ! it depends on who i'm writing with and the relationship between our characters, but generally i lean toward fluff. daryl deserves the softness, anyway, he's been through more than enough angst.
plots or memes?: plots !! plotting is my middle name. i love having solid foundations. when memes are the first thing that gets interactions going with no background plotting around it, it's really hard for me to figure out where to take anything— mostly just because daryl is such a particular muse.
long or short replies?: i think anyone who's ever looked at my blog will be able to tell you that i tend to go long even when i try to keep things short, lmao !
time to write?: anytime, but i love writing during early morning hours especially. and if it's raining ?? my god you'll never be able to tear me away from the computer.
are you like your muse(s)?: daryl... is a very special character to me for a lot of reasons. i do find that i relate to him in many ways, though there are definitely things about him that i absolutely do not vibe with. but yes, i would say that i am like him a little bit more than i'm not ! maybe like... 65%, if i had to put a number on it.

OC TAG GAME 。*・♡;
tagged by @aragorngf to categorize my ocs and make them in this picrew by crowsen!!  
♡ FAVORITE OC. (At the moment) 
Tumblr media
Lukas Warren — Fallout: New Vegas
This was cruel to make me pick between all of my kids but I think Lukas at the moment is always kicking around my head — my sweet boy my poor little meow meow. I have so much in my head about his relationship with his family both the complicated horror story that is his family and his adopted ghoul mom Majorie and how much that really shaped his worldview <3
♡ NEWEST OC.
Tumblr media
Caroline Clarke — Various
Cara my beloved!! She’s my OC for a post-apocalyptic RP group I’m in and I love her sm <3 She’s a hunter from West Virginia who’s still trying to getting used to living in a (somewhat) civilized part of Boston after living in the literal Appalachian woods for a solid three years with her brother. I’m excited to write with her more !! She’s a sweet person but is still sort of closed off after so much has happened 
♡ OLDEST OC.
Tumblr media
Aerie — The Elder Scrolls V: Skryim
Aerie is definitely one of my oldest ocs!! Skyrim was really one of the first rpgs I played and honestly I feel like she’s both gone through so many iterations but also stayed pretty consistent!! We love a wild girlie who the universe had to make her a short nord to balance out the whole dragon soul thing
♡ MEANEST OC.
Tumblr media
Ethan Warren — Fallout: New Vegas
Some people deal with their issues in all sorts of ways; Ethan decided to deal with it by razing his hometown to the ground <3 Having his father be burned instead of crucified like the Legion normally would to not give him the satisfaction of dying like jesus is understandable given what an awful person Richard Warren was, but joining the Legion and staying for years is a bad move maybe 🤔
♡ SOFTEST OC. 
Tumblr media
Merethel Lavellan — Dragon Age: Inquisition
This was tough between Merethel and Ophelia but I think he’s someone who’s got a quiet compassion to him. The role of inquisitor does chafe on him a lot with him being more comfortable behind the scenes and being with people one on one as a healer. But I think people tend to underestimate how intelligent he is at first with his gentle nature, because he definitely learns how to play the “game” of politics in his own right by the time of Trespasser (even if he is very eager to get rid of the Inquisitor title).
♡ MOST ALOOF/STANDOFFISH OC. 
Tumblr media
Endaryn Ravel — The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
Even before he lost his place at the Arcane University in Cyrodiil after being booted to Morrowind because the Emperor Said So (rip 😔) , Endaryn is someone who just wants to be left alone to study!! And stuff KEEPS happening to him and he just wants to finish his thesis can he please stop getting weird dream messages from Dagoth Ur
♡ DUMBEST (AFFECTIONATE) OC. 
Tumblr media
Leondas Vendicci — The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
It’s not that he’s dumb, he just lacks any and all self-preservation or self-respect! <3 Jk, but Leondas is definitely the guy who acts first and thinks about it later when he realizes the consequences. A fuck around and find out kind of guy, you might say. But yeah, definitely the type to run into Oblivion portals without much of a plan. But he’s MY favorite dumbass so it’s okay
♡ SMARTEST OC.
Tumblr media
Ophelia Faye — Fallout: 3
WOMEN! IN! STEM! Ophelia’s definitely the most intelligent; (I did actually give her a 10 in her Intelligence SPECIAL score). But I would say it’s pretty much all like science and medicine based intellect, and she’s the most comfortable in a lab or med bay than out in the Wasteland.
♡ OC YOU’D LIKE TO BE FRIENDS WITH IRL.
Tumblr media
Euurydia Daeron — Star Wars: The Old Republic
I have NO idea if Dia and I would actually hang out IRL but she’d be the most fun to hang out with. She’s the perfect extrovert to adopt an introvert like me and talk my ear off and convince me to try one drink and suddenly it’s 2 am and we’ve been cantina hopping in the Lower Promenade on Nar Shaddaa for hours

What are some of your favorite felt head canons if you don't mind, and is your intermission discord server still active?
Oh yeah psh the server is defo active. We talk there every day and we had a group vc like just yesterday! Feel free to join! Even if you’re going to lurk we got good fanarts being made like every other day! https://discord.gg/VMtTxQj
NOW TO THE INFODUMPING! Sry not sry you asked for this I’m just gunna go full ham. (I figured out how to add a read more link! hah!)
OK SO! I’ve got so many! Top fav is my ones for Crowbar of course. I love making his juju a sentient being and having it effect him negatively by applying sensitivity for timeline shenanigans on him. This also means Crowbar is weak against temporal movement like teleportation. He’s fine for the most part if the Doc teleports him with green sun magic but if Droog does it, it gets him sick and dizzy for a bit.
Oh! Also that Crowbar has lots of hobbies, but every single one is a benefit to his Felts. He’s incapable of doing activities selfishly and has a hard time detaching himself from his work. Expressing himself creatively? Sure! How about he gets into woodworking and architecture so he can repair walls, doors, and clocks whenever they break around the manor. Taking time off to zone out and relax? No problem! He unironically loves doing paperwork because the exactness of the wording comfort him and he can keep business flowing. (He secretly collects the small manuals that comes with most products because finding grammar mistakes in the terms and conditions amuses him.) He even has a mild special interest in car detailing and cleaning so that the getaway cars for everyone are in top condition, and so that the manor is clean and free of evidence.
Oh and that reminds me that I love to hc that the manor (I make it sentient) looooves Crowbar the most out of any member since he’s the only one that takes care of it. The manor’s architecture shifts constantly to confuse intruders and such, but for Crowbar it shifts to get him to wanted destinations faster. If Crowbar wants to get to the west wing from the east wing, only Itchy has a chance to close the distance faster than him. Ah! It’s so funny! I’m smiling about it now! Aaaa I love them!
And! And and I love to hc Crowbar being super dense in matters of love. In the server (there is rp and I am the dedicated Crowbar rper) I make sure to have him make the perfectly wrong assumption any time someone falls for him bc Cro mentally cannot comprehend someone being attracted to him- OH THAT REMINDS ME OF ANOTHER ONE! I hc that to us irl humans Crowbar is the most normal and even the sexiest felt, but in leprechaun standards Crowbar is like, the ugliest leprechaun ever. Leprechaun standards value weird shapes, weird chaotic habits, and the scrungle vibe, and Crowbar is intimately aware he doesn’t embody any of it, so it’s just like. “Um. I know damn well I don’t make an effort to strive towards beauty standards, so,,, why are you falling for me again? Surely this is a joke? This, isn’t what people are supposed to do.”
On that note though, I think Crowbar has a hard time with charms as a system. He’s effected by it and feels it occasionally, but he does much better with quadrants and carapacians in general. He doesn’t like talking about it with his men because he’s scared they are going to make fun of him for it, but they probably already know what with his little Snowman crush.
Hot take I could do with or do without Snowbar. It really depends on who I’m roleplaying with. For the most part I love it because it emphasizes the fact that Crowbar is just really fucking weird compared to other leprechauns. He’s orderly, he’s bi, he likes things to be a certain consistent way, and there’s nothing be can do about it. It just makes me feel warm inside. If my rp partner doesn’t like the ship though I loooooove to make Snowman and Cro like, slumber party pals. They engage in the tea and girl talk! Wlw and mlm! Snowy is the man’s rock and sense of reason in a sea of idiots.
Though hm, now for other Felt. I do like the idea that Itchy actually has garbage reaction time and is in a state of single focused mania a lot. My mans has trouble sleeping and knowing his environment and it can take a toll on his mind, but when he does sleep his metabolism is too fast for such a long sleep and he has to go into a hibernation state! Like a hummingbird! (That’s @naturallydark ‘shc for the Itchy they rp in the server) aaaa good stuff. Oh and I love to think Itchy is chronically bored and has big issues with being under-stimulated, which is why he is friends with most of the felt and will bother them. The company makes him happy! And when he’s not being a lil fuck, he does know how to cheer the majority of the Felt up when they are down.
On the flip side I love imagining that Doze actually has insane reaction time, his world just slows when he’s stressed, which doesn’t happen as often as folks might think. I imagine Doze’s biggest fear is getting irreversibly maimed so his powers activate during physical combat, but other than that he’s a pretty normal dude. Probably the type to catch a bunch of dishes and have everything land on the tray again cartoon style. Definitely thinks he’s the coolest guy in the room (civilized edition)
Fin is just cute. Man just, swims in the dumbest places. You can never predict when he will be in a body of water. Kinda hates when anyone dumps dead bodies in the canal and will drag them out of the water to toss to the lusi (lusus’s?) wandering the desert when he can.
Clover and Snowman get along really well. Like, Snowman thinks Clover is strangely charismatic, but this is almost purely because the universe loves Clover.
Anything @ontdah does with his Die makes me happy. Just. Anything. Love that angsty man.
Snowman can absolutely take damage without it effecting the rest of the universe. (I despise the fact that the prominent badass female character can’t roughhouse) like, she is a universe avatar. She can just choose to be an avatar of some useless far off planet, she just likes the power trip with being able to stop any fight she’s in by just standing there. Only the Felt know this but they keep it a safely guarded secret and they still respect the rules of it. After all she likes having star freckles when she embodies everything so she actually is in that vulnerable state most of the time. It’s like, her shitty personal version of a Russian roulette, but with the lives of every single person alive. She’s a massive troll. In the most dignified way possible. Stitch thinks she’s crazy, Crowbar finds her fascinating in her selfishness.
Stitch is one of the rarer less chaotic leprechauns, and he gets along pretty well with Crowbar. For the most part he’s the dad figure of the felt despite not being the oldest, and will let any of them silently hang out with him if the fucked up ness of their life becomes too much. The official sawbones, and less official therapist of the lads. Makes sure they have everything they need to handle any mental stuff they struggle with. He helps Itchy with his adhd, works with Matchsticks (more often) and Cro (less often) on their ptsd, helps lots of them with anxiety, rationalizes through Clover’s survivors guilt, and even has chats with Snowy when she’s feeling existential. He is incredibly emotionally intelligent and likes to use that ability for good, however gruff it comes across.
Sawbuck is the nice fuck boi of the Felt and you cannot convince me otherwise. Clover may be the most charismatic over all, but Sawbuck definitely has the most game. The guy is a dream boat, an absolute hunk. Sawbuck is the sexiest man alive and everyone in the felt (no matter how reluctantly) agrees with it.
Matchsticks is a pyromaniac and is constantly curbing his own urges to just burn everything to the ground, timeline included. He’s a REALLY nice guy, but the urges get to him sometimes. (Hc from @ontdah )He has troubles staying present at times and keeps multiple fires burning around the manor for convenience and for reminiscing. Crowbar has to tell Matchsticks when meetings will be hours or even days in advance or else he might not be able to include him. The guy just, travels a lot and is hard to find. His jokes cheer everyone up, but it’s clear he’s not always happy. Stitch and Matchsticks spend the most time with each other. Stitch has personally guided Matchsticks into being more present, but it’s a constant process.
Eggs is fantastic at retelling heists in engaging ways. If anyone wants a retelling of events, they tend to go to Eggs, even if Crowbar has the better memory. It’s more entertaining that way.
Biscuits makes food for the Felt. Without him they would all immediately starve. Some felt know how to cook, but only Biscuits knows how to portion meals to feed all of them correctly. He’s also their silent nutritionist and will give you a look of disappointment if you ever come into the manor with, ugh, FROG FORBID Store. Bought. Sweets. He has standards. Most of his free time is spent in the kitchen and he is the only Felt besides Crowbar who is allowed an allowance for groceries.
Quarters is a gun freak and gives all of them names and backstories like iron dolls. If you handle a gun incorrectly in front of him he’s going to very passive aggressively judge you until you piss him off enough to drag you back into gun training. He taught most every member how to use firearms (except for Stitch, Matchsticks, and Clover) but he has made every single one of them take a firearms course, hosted by himself of course. Snowman and Quarters have long bouts of dark humor involving weapons sometimes too. They started being friends after he taught her how to use a sniper rifle.
Cans is Crowbar’s bean bag and they are bros. They cuddle lots and talk about stuff. I imagine Cans has almost an enthusiastic butler sort of relationship with Crowbar and Crowbar can do nothing to refute this. After many, many, months and years of Cans comforting Crowbar and being there for him and helping him out of risky situations, Crowbar has succumbed to trusting the man fully. Whenever Crowbar is having troubles sleeping he will simply drag himself over to Cans’s room and nap with him. They are cute.
AH! oK DONE! I have more Cro hcs of course but this has taken me ages to type and! I! Need! To go to work soon!

I was doing the writing sort of roleplay recently (as opposed to the tabletop sort) and when the gang got fired up about creating an AU - as one does, in the throes of good RP - I proposed that the concept become a framed narrative instead.
Any time the group gets a wild hair up their ass about what if these characters met as children or what if this was a Weird West setting instead or what if they were all mermaids... Have the characters tell that story to each other. Occasionally have the characters comment on the AU as if they were talking out of character.
This keeps AU tangents from getting stale but let's you explore all the juicy possibilities and chase that creative high. Play until the What If question has been answered then resume the previous plot.
Honestly this probably works for tabletop games too, but I haven't tried it.

15 Questions for the writer
Tagged by @misstantabismuses @saviourofzaun and (on my other blog) @bioniczaunites
Tagging: Going to be honest I'mmmm pretty sure everyone I would tag has already been tagged buuut. @gauntlets-shot @misfits-of-zaun @perfect-fourth @sxlemnity @nithhaiahh @fleetingreflection @xxsacrificiumxx @elisethetraveller and you person reading this
Tumblr media
1: Are you named after anyone?
Not really no. Not named after any relative or anything else like that.
2: When was the last time you cried?
Hmmm, really actually cried...I don’t cry often, but probably at some point during this last winter. There were a few times I was in a bad spot.
3: Do you have kids?
Nope, and to be honest that is not going to chance. No kids, no desire for kids, and I don’t think I’d be a good parent if I’m completely honest.
4: Do you use sarcasm a lot?
When talking to someone I know (talking talking not just texting or chatting or discord or whatever) I have been known to be a bit sarcastic, but over the years I’ve toned it down and gotten less sarcastic for one reason or another. So short answer is no, not really. Not any more.
5: What's the first thing you notice about people?
I have never thought about that honestly. I am generally really good at noticing if they have tattoo’s visible (I like tattoo’s and have a few my own so it’s more curiosity than anything else), but I suppose first thing is… how they are dressed. If they have a hat on that has a slogan on it that makes me think they wouldn’t like someone like me, if it’s the middle of the day but they have on a nice dress or are other wise dressed well, a coat with patches on it or on the back, or whatever all else. People can tell you a lot by how they dress.
6: What's your eye colour?
Just brown I guess. Nothing special.
7: Scary movies or happy endings?
So first of all, IMO even most movies with “a happy ending” don’t really have a happy ending if you start thinking about it and what would probably happen afterwards and I have a real bad habit of thinking to myself “so what next?” and with a lot of movies “what next” is either a hasty bad marriage or trauma or something else. Leaving that aside… scary movies. Which as a random note IMO those are honest in a weird way about their endings. Yes the survivor/s are absolutely going to be traumatized, and scared, and have SO much to deal with afterwards but they did survive and that’s something (obviously excluding the ones in which no one survives). I wouldn’t say they have “happy” endings, but they (generally, there’s exceptions) have honest (within genre conventions yes of course the killer in a franchise didn’t actually die and if they did they will come back for the next movie or be replaced by someone in the same mask or whatever) endings and I like that.
8: Any special talents?
Does anxiety and thinking too much count?… Jokes aside I personally would say no, and before anyone says anything about my writing or whatever. It’s not a “special talent” it’s entirely too many years of writing into too many different places and reading too many books and I still have so many ways to improve.
9: Where were you born?
In the USA. I am well aware that doesn’t narrow it down a lot, but I think it gives you enough. I will say I’ve lived both West coast, and East coast, and have driven through a good chunk of the USA although not all of it.
10: What are your hobbies?
Currently, modeling (gundam models mostly), leather crafting, writing (role playing, I don’t really like writing just by myself except for drabbles to expand on stuff for RP purposes generally), and video games.
11: Have you any pets?
Two cats, and one dog. One of the cats was kind of forced on me, but it is what it is. They all have a home here.
12: What sport do you play/have you played?
I don’t play sports. Just not my thing personally.
13: How tall are you?
Five foot ten inches. Which looking at other peoples heights makes me kinda tall I guess.
14: Favourite subject in school?
I don’t know that I had one. I ended up getting a GED, and than when I did college I went for a computer science related degree and realized by the end I did not want to do that for a career so… that’s a bit of a problem. If I had to pick something I’d say probably history. It’s always interesting learning about the past.
15: Dream job?
I am going to be real honest here. I’m over thirty (which isn’t old but in conjunction with the next bit...) and disabled. I don’t have a dream job. My dream is to be able to consistently take care of everything around my house, and in my personal life to the standards I’d prefer. Not to mention I’m literally not allowed to make over a certain amount if I want to keep something that’s currently giving me health care and the like so there’s that.
Now for something less woeful, I will say that I would eventually like to start making money off of my leather crafting. Not to support myself with or whatever, but just so I can get back some of the money and expense that I put into it. I would just have to be careful with how much I make, and look into paying taxes and all on the sales.

Do you think that the hard core shipping some people engage in is a form of a parasocial relationship, or a part of being in it? I use to scroll through jikook posts a lot more, years ago because I really thought there was something there, and later on just because I liked their interactions without thinking them romantic or sexual in any way. But the people I noticed where the most delusional are the ones who post on every singal little thing they do, and almost hourly. It's frightening how involved some of them are, and how personally they take things that don't concern them. I've deleted most of my social media since, and only chech here every once in while to see what they are up to, and the further away I get from the fandom, the weirder the whole shipping community seems.
Sort of? I get what you’re getting at, but it’s also hard to apply because a parasocial relationship is a two-party phenomenon—unless projection is somehow involved, which I suspect is the case for some of the more unhinged folks. Case in point:
Some people will subconsciously project themselves into the role of Person A, who they identify with the most, and expect/anticipate a relationship to develop with Person B, who is usually the object of their affections. It’s a roundabout version of a parasocial relationship—Y/N by proxy, if you will—but the end result is the same.
But realistically, and for the most part, I view this particular obsession that you’re referring to as a dollhouse fantasy. These are the shippers who want two people to be with each other so badly that they’ll manipulate any available narrative into one that secures that fantasy, even though said narratives are theories at best. There’s no injecting logic or poking at holes with them because they will absolutely refuse to see anything but their version of reality.
The bigger problem here is that the Kpop industry itself encourages this by forcing these idols to embody blank slates. RPS isn’t as predominant in the west, and when it does happen, it’s rarely to the extremes we see in Kpop.
Supporting an existing couple is a little different in that it’s generally an admiration of two people having managed to achieve something that is universally desired, but most people in this camp don’t go to the same lengths that we know shippers to do. It tends to be a passive sort of appreciation. Like with anything, there’s still a limit here, and as soon as you breach that respectable boundary and start imagining their intimate lives and cooking up scenarios that isn’t actually known, it’s no longer normal.
Objectively, RPS is extremely weird, and that’s why it’s so controversial.

-- RP: @pokemon-experiments
pokemon-experiments:
The Joltik would bristle up at the kid running up to his partner. Not to be aggressive but as a warning. 'Don't come any closer! You might get hurt if you do!' He was worried the child might accidentally run into his partner and trigger the curse, but when she stopped he let out a sigh of relief before he was asked the question. 'Of course she is! She feeds me, gives me plenty of static to charge on, and doesn't mind if I nestle into her hair like this!' He would than move down her neck and than onto her shoulder looking a bit upset about the possible accusation. 'Do you know how many others hate that?!' He was talking not realizing the young girl could understand him. The teen looked down at the girl and than up at the Zeraora. Than she reached a hand up to gently pet Jolt. She had a feeling he was worked up and wanted to calm him down. "Your guardian is right...Blueberry isn't....it's not a good place if you're different..." But Cassidy had no choice. Her parents didn't want her home until she got the curse taken care of, and Blueberry was the only school that had on campus dorms. She wanted to lie. Maybe trick him into taking her to the girls mother, but she wouldn't. Mainly because she didn't want to make a fae. Though it is odd that she had never heard of a fae graduate. "I am from that awful school, and all anyone cares about is how good you are in Pokémon battles. And if me being from there is an issue than I'd rather be given directions to the closest town than bother this young girls mother."
Tumblr media
"Hu't? What do y'u mean?" The girl asks in confusion, her face scrunching up into such a face. "Bu' if she's g'ud t' y'u then she's a g'ud pers'n!" She grins, hands now on her hips, a little jump in her step. However, her expression changes just as quickly as she talks about Blueberry Academy and how she's from it. A grin turns into a frown and Chirithy nearby bristles. 'The city is towards the west. Keep heading that way and you'll find it.' He goes immediately to scoop up the little girl who protests in weird noises that are reminiscent of the Fae language.
'Whatever this project of yours is... Don't come here ever again about it.' The Zeraora shakes his head and abruptly, a fog begins to set in around them. If she isn't careful, the girl will forget everything she knew and saw as this kind of fog was a heavy spell that a certain Lady of the Wood had set in to protect Willow in case people did discover her and Chirithy.

Puppet History Starters:
The Dancing Plague
( a collection of quotes to be used as rp starters. cw for langauge. episode link here )
Can I take another guess at your name?
I am a little nasty
Has the universe ever just challenged you?
Any of the story’s you’re going to tell, is one of them at least not gonna be a bummer?
History’s a sad thing
No, say it
Okay no, that was too crass
That’s disgusting. What is wrong with you?
I’m just letting you know that if you mention those barrels to anyone else, you’ll end up in one
Now that’s some bullshit 
It was a long time ago, it’s over now
Those are my special treats 
Kinda similar to those people that danced ‘til they died in France 
I’m a history buff 
But no one ate dirt, right?
Well you’ve never taken the initiative 
I didn’t realize it was the fucking Wild Wild West out here
Well maybe have a little fun with it every now and then
I reward creativity
I fucked up. I fucked up hard, bro
Yeah, you dipshit 
It’s weird it took you this long to figure it out
I got a crazy gig for you
It didn’t take long for things to go from strange to dark 
A nice little happy ending after all. Sure, a lot of people died, but…
If you joined a dancing plague, what would your dance move be?
I don’t like that one bit
