Maybe I'll give Julian a FFXIV AU after all... Maybe not as the WoL, but as a brand new adventurer. Maybe with some isekai shenanigans since that's happened on more than one occasion in the game ikujyhtgr

PSA

Once again I’d like to reiterate the importance of communication in the rpc.  Communication is literally the only way any of us are able to do what we do. Whether that be in character or out of character.

But as of right now, I’m speaking of communicating with your rp partners during the time which you would like to write with them. For a lot of people on this website, we are going out of our way to put ourselves out there despite our nerves and anxiety and when it’s met with radio silence, that shit hurts.

ESPECIALLY if you’re writing a poc muse or oc muse. These blogs get the most shit in the rpc usually because everyone is so much more eager to write with the canon / straight / white / or male muses. 

If you don’t communicate with your rp partners, you’re mutual, people who you’re “just so excited to write with!!!”, even just a little every now and again just to keep the juices flowing, then it’s essentially a giant slap in the face to those of us who are literally fighting tooth and nail to be noticed in the rpc. 

Nothing feels worse then sending a message to someone you wanna write with only for them to leave you on read for the next three weeks. 

Now believe me, we all have lives outside of roleplay, we all are aware of that and acknowledge that we don’t always wanna be here sometimes. Even if you’re not on tumblr, communicating and building a friendship with your mutuals is just as important as important off line as much as it is online if you wanna establish strong relationships and interest with your mutuals and rpc. 

But don’t act all surprised and get angry at someone or send them hate just because they get upset when they see you writing and replying to everyone else under the sun besides them. For some people, it makes them feel invisible or that their blog or muse matters less than your other mutuals. 

It’s okay to not want to write with someone anymore. It’s okay to set up healthy boundaries. It’s even okay to block someone you no longer have interest in writing with. 

You don’t HAVE to explain to anyone your reasoning, but communication isn’t just a necessity in the rpc, it is also considered a courtesy as well let’s say if you have removed yourself from let’s someone you’ve written with for years only to suddenly up and drop them for whatever reasons it may be. 

Bottom line; COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR ROLEPLAYING PARTNERS. Answer their asks ic or ooc if you’ve told them you’re interested in writing with them. Like their starter calls. Reply to the starters they took time out of their day to write for you and only you. if you can’t reply on time or want them to send you a different ask for whatever reason, then TELL THEM THAT. Don’t just brush them to the side or ghost them and then go right back around to say that you still wanna write with them. 

I personally would rather have someone be upfront and honest with me then beat around the bush. You wanna write with me? Great! Then act like it. 

You don’t wanna write with me upon realization after following me? That’s fine too. But block me and move on so we can go our separate ways then. 

[cloudyxmuses]

I LIVE but I need to take care of some non-blog related stuff. Still, both @lunarbloomed and @paradoxeyed have plenty of memes to send and mutuals can always poke me for a starter on either of them!

[cloudyxmuses]

Brother, please, may I have some oats plots? For Alta or any muse here or there - for whatever one of yours strikes your fancy :>

send me “plots please” [accepting!]

Of course! I'll do you one better; with Faelux, some for Atla and some for Emmafrien, and then some for Shane and Julian!

Faelux and Atla:

Despite being an Au ra, Faelux knows little of the culture for both Raen and Xaela, given that she was raised by a Midlander woman. I imagine there's plenty Atla can tell her about, even if Faelux herself may not be a Xaela!

If we're talking WoL!Faelux, there is of course the shared struggles of being the Warrior of Light (as I write that verse to be multi WoL-friendly). But even if it's in her nonwol verse, the understanding of strife everyone has after the Calamity and the visions the Echo brings (as she still has it in the nonwol verse but it's weaker)

There is, of course, the contrast between the two; black and white magic, exceedingly different yet also so very much the same. Such a thing seems to be reflected in their demeanor, caring deeply for those they hold close but doing it in very different ways - healing for Atla, destruction for Faelux, and vengeance for both.

Faelux and Emmanellain:

I could see him being curious about Faelux's usage of alchemy after Honoroit got hurt, as Faelux probably would have used one of her better potions to improve the wound on his head if only long enough for the chirugeons to see to the young servant. After all, unless you're in such a field as medical care, alchemy likely isn't quite as commonly seen as it is in Ul'dah, and I bet he'd be more than uncertain once he sees all the little monster bits used in the process. It could be something he could learn about, even take an interest in (or other such trade, Faelux dabbles in goldsmithing and her mother is a weaver) that would separate him from his older siblings.

Her opinion may very well change of him depending on how they interact, as for awhile she didn't think much of really either "trueborn" sibling - she found both Emmannellain and Artoirel equally irritating at first, given she already didn't think well of most nobility/wealthy outside Nanamo. She'll see him trying, even if it takes a punch or disaster for it to happen, and would then have little issue lending him whatever aid she can - once her vengeance is taken care of, at least.

Speaking of vengeance... I wonder how he'd react to seeing Faelux after the Vault. Even in timelines where Haurchefant lives, her reaction is the same; a quiet anger that emanates from her very presence, the deafening silence that is the only thing keeping her anger from spilling out (one that doesn't end until after her return on dragonback, she's essentially mute for that portion of HW), or even word from Alphinaud of what happened at that moment - that in trying to shoot down Thordan's airship with fire, she nearly lost control of the black magic and burned from the inside out even with a soul stone to control it. He might not have known what to do, being grief-stricken himself, but I imagine it didn't go unnoticed from the normally more sarcastic and cynical mage.

And of course, Ancient shenanigans for either are always fun and encouraged~ =7=

Shane and Julian:

It'll be likely that Shane may only see glimpses of Julian for a long while, since she's both very timid and was more concerned with fixing up her grandfather's old farm after it was left alone for 18 or so years. A bit of a recluse, really, in hopes her familial ties don't bring any strife to the Valley. But I imagine the changes happening to Pelican Town and the surrounding area don't go unnoticed; the rooms in the community center slowly being rebuilt if gazed at through the window, the bus repairs, the black cat Marnie found (now sporting a collar he doesn't recall Marnie getting) being befriended by Jas, monsters coming out of the mines less and less, requests posted on the board actually getting answered for once (likely the only time he's seen the new farmer directly once she realized he preferred not to be bothered), even an "anonymous donor" eventually paying and supplying Pam and Penny with a proper home. I imagine he'd begin to question just who lived in that old plot north of them... It sure as hell wasn't anyone like Lewis doing all that.

Julian likely tries to avoid her ties to her uncle being brought up, given the horrors he committed, but I imagine it won't work forever. Small towns are notorious for everyone getting into everyone else's business, and with the trial for a serial killer with a similar last name to hers just recently ending, it's not hard for people to connect some dots and speculate. That is to say... These two are no strangers to the death of others around them and depression it causes; Shane losing his friends to the car accident, and Julian's childhood friend having been a victim of her uncle. It would take a long while to build up that kind of trust, but having a friend who gets how bad it is could be beneficial for both of them!

Julian would probably find the chickens - as well as other livestock - utterly adorable, and may eventually convince Marnie to let her bring the ones on the ranch treats every now and a gain. So they can bond over that, because animals are cute and lovable regardless of who is giving them attention!

Of course, all my muses are very versatile so they don't have to be these particular muses, but that should give some ideas! ^7^

⤏ send me “plots please”

… and I’ll respond with  3  (or more)  interesting  plots / relationships / connections  I can think of for our muses!   There is  no pressure  for us to write any of them,   but it’s a great starting point for you to get a sense of how I think our muses might interact and what sorts of plots I’m most interested in happening between them  -  so don’t be shy!

for multimuse blogs make sure to specify who you’re looking to plot with

😊 - I think you are a really friendly person.

Intimidation Meme [accepting!]

😊 - I think you are a really friendly person.

Oh good, I'm glad thank you! I try not to be intimidating since I'm about as scary as a butterfly, but I'm never quite sure if it's either not working or I'm going too far with it. Though, something something Blathers Animal Crossing is still scared of butterflies something... But I'm glad you think so!!

[cloudyxmuses]

Send me ♥ and I’ll write some positivity for you.

Bonus: you can add an URL to your ask message if you want me to write positivity for someone else!

Intimidation Meme

Sometimes it’s difficult for people to seek contact with each other because they can feel intimidated by others. Using this meme, you can send the symbols to my askbox that represent to you how intimidating I am to you. This way, it could be more clear to both sides how things are based on these feelings.

😗 - YOU ARE THE SOFTEST BEING. 😀 - I’m not afraid of reaching out to you. 😃 - To me, you are easy to approach. 😊 - I think you are a really friendly person. 😶 - I’m not sure if I can reach out to you. 😐 - You seem a little distant from others. 😓 - I feel like you would not really like me. 😲 - I’m afraid of reaching out to you. 😟 - I wish I had the courage to start talking to you. 😥 - I am very intimidated by you. I wish it wasn’t that way, because you seem cool. 😫 - I admire you from the sidelines because you seem cool and I’m just a dork. 😧 - Senpai, notice me???? 😦 - I feel really insecure when I want to reach out to you. 😨 - You intimidate me….a whole damn lot. 😭 - I wish I could be your friend but to me, you are so hard to reach out to. 😱 - I am so incredibly intimidated by you, it even makes me a little anxious sometimes. 💀 - OH MY GOD DON’T EAT ME PLEASE
