[[Hey! long time no see. I moved blogs AGAIN, this time for good. my new url is @bailongmas, so if you want to interact, i’ll see you there!]]

[[hey all, been a while, hasn't it?

I wanted to let you all know that first and foremost I am okay, though that's not the main subject of this post.

To be honest, i've been really unhappy with my portrayal of Ma Chao and my overall blog. Some of you know this especially- there have been far too many rants about how inadequate I feel about my blog. A lot of it has been how much my viewpoint on him has changed and how much i have changed; this is reflected in how i write him and his interactions with other people. Real life hit as well, but a large part of it was sheer inexperience with formal RP. I didn't realize how much my own views would change, and I got caught up in it all.

To rectify this I'm going to making this current blog an archive and start a new blog, with a more solid characterization. A new start, if you will. I'm not leaving at all! Don't worry- it won't be like I'm rping a brand new Ma Chao. Instead, it will be like an appended version of him. Hopefully, it will be more fun for me, and for you as well. 

I hope to make my serious posts more in character and consistent, as well as crack! portrayals for him. Hopefully when I'm done moving I'll be able to live up to that wish.

Thank you all so much for your patience and your time. I really appreciate all the constructive criticism and support, especially from my personal friends. I'll be back soon! Thank you for reading this!]]

Leave a number in my ask!

#4. What type of discipline was your character subjected to at home? Strict? Lenient?

[[Ma Chao lived in a rather… interesting home. While to a stranger it would seem rather strict, it was not so cut and dry for him. Ma Chao’s father treated him less like a child and more like a young friend that he was guiding along. Ma Teng wanted only the best for his sons, but only truly saw any potential in his oldest.

As such, he really pushed Ma Chao to do better than he would have done in other circumstances. He would later reward his son by taking him to lavish banquets, where he’d seem undoubtedly out of place.]]

Headcanon: Titles

[[Ma Chao the Splendid takes great pride in the titles he has accrued since childhood. Therefore, it should come as a surprise to no one that he is impressed wit those who have earned nicknames as well. Though he uses the correct honorary titles for those around him (Lord, Lady, Master, and so on), he places true worth in the names those around him have gained for social conduct and courage.]]

Ma Chao cleared his throat as he attempted to recount what exactly he was to relay to the dancer. He wasn't sure why he had been chosen, out of all the soldiers in the main camp- surely, there would be a better messenger amongst them all.

"Ah, Lady Diaochan!" Ma Chao raised his voice so as to be heard through the tent, "I have a message from Lord Zhao Yun."

Justice meets Serenity.

“Mm? Is there someone out there?”

[[NO. I AM LACKING ICONS. I hope you are all okay with icon-less responses.... just imagine ma chao's GORGEOUS faces of indignation. Truly, a face only a mother could love.]]

[[YOOOOOOOO did anyone miss me?? Sorry for being absent- my laptop won’t turn on, so i’m borrowing one for now. Might post some headcanon stuff and work on the bio a lil more! B) hope everyone has been okay…..]]

THIS MUN HAS A SKYPE AND WILL SHARE IT

#out of justice #[[still on hiatus but hi!]] #[[you can ask!]]

[unrequitedjustice--archive]

Mini-Hiatus!

[[So, as some of you know, I've been a bit dissatisfied with my writing lately. This is largely due to inconsistencies; the more I RP, the less sure I am of my portrayal of my muse, and the more stressed I get with each answer. Another factor is my inexperience. Never before had I made a blog dedicated to a character; as a result, it took a long time trying to grasp who he is, and I really need to find a way to make replying easier for myself. I'm hoping to rectify it by trying to piece it all together, away from this account.

Simply put, I'm not very confident in the story and voice I've written for Ma Chao; as such, I think I'm going to go back and rework him a bit, starting with completing character sheets. He'll still be the same, for the most part! But....

This might mean a few changes to this blog. When I'm done, I'm hoping that his personality page will be tweaked and fixed, and that I'll be able to write with more clarity on the matter. There will be a few threads that I might drop, due to them being out of character. If you have any questions, let me know! I'll have my inbox open and I WILL be coming online to check up on all of you.

I'm sorry that I've rambled, woops. Thank you all for reading this! I'm really sorry about this in general! I'm not sure how long I will be gone. It might be a few days, or a few weeks. All I know is that I'm hoping to make this blog more relaxed, open, and more in character in general! I'm looking forward to the next time I'll be able to interact with you all again!]]

          ❝Nah, I’m sure she see’s all the colors and sh*t plain as day, she probably just don’t give two f*cks about them yet. I reckon the only way we can change that, is by puttin’ a harsh beatdown on that kingdom of hers, and I reckon we can manage that.❞

savageorchids:

Defection!: Your muse defects to a new faction, kingdom, or workplace (anon decides which) for two days. Why have they chosen this place and will it further their own agenda? Just how do they feel about their new Lord?

Nervously tugging at the new deep green sash around her waist, Ruolan gave herself one last look in the mirror. It had only been a day since she’d arrived in the kingdom of Shu; the trip had been long and arduous, and in her weariness, the fact that she was here scarcely seemed real. 

It had been such a spur-of-the-moment decision - what she truly wanted was freedom, not another lord to serve under, but even now Ma Chao’s words rang so clearly in her memory that it seemed perfectly rational -

"Look at the man you’re serving. Do you honestly believe Jia Xu will ever consider your debt repaid? Either repay him with your life, spend the rest of his life under his thumb, or come with us and start again. It’s your choice."

And as simple as that, she had stolen a horse from the stables and headed off for Shu territory in the dead of night. Thoughts of the others she’d left behind - Ruiling and Lady Cao Ang at the forefront - nagged at her conscience, but…This was something she had to do for herself. Something she needed. With the last traces of her old life fading into the distance, perhaps now was her chance for a new beginning.

A set of grey eyes drilled into the closed door, their usual vibrance only intensified by the furrowed brow and dark circles framing them. Ma Chao himself was drained of his usual energy. He stood in the hallway stripped of his previous armor as he tried to not tap his foot in impatience.

In truth, Ma Chao was apprehensive about this all. He was more nervous than he had felt in over half a decade. His impassioned speech had been made at the spur of the moment, a result of one of their countless arguments. He had expected her to brush him off and say that he couldn’t understand, had expected her to fight back and tell him to keep quiet-

He hadn’t expected to be summoned from cavalry drill by a shocked messenger, hesitantly reporting that "a friend of his" had requested his presence. He certainly had not expected to be lead to the estates, to find the acquaintance in question to be sitting in the doorway of his (rather humble) abode. He was taken aback as he pulled her inside, mind stalling before asking a servant to prepare food.

They had not talked quite yet; the entire ordeal was overwhelming, though it was a reality he was getting used to. She was here, in Shu, and hadn't displayed any sort of hostile behavior; that alone was enough to convince him that she was not here as an enemy.

A servant came to confirm that there was indeed food ready. "Ruolan." He at last broke the silence, his voice strong and full despite any confusion he felt. "We can talk as we eat."
