Don't use your muse(s) to vent your out-of-character frustrations or give yourself an ego boost.

I've seen this happen many times over my 10+ years of role-playing on this site. I've met a lot of muns that tend to use their muses as a means of airing out their grievances, or making themselves feel/seem important.

Example #1: I once met someone who would speak through their muse whenever someone on the dash (a writing partner or just a mutual) angered or frustrated them. They wouldn't directly call the target out, but to those in the know, it was clear who they were talking about.

Example #2: I knew someone that I would plot a thread out in advance with, we both agreed that was how it was going to play out so both of us would be happy, and then when it came down to writing the thread, their muse unexpectedly vilified mine in order to make them seem like they were "special" or "more important" or "the good guy."

This is incredibly frustrating and off-putting. Writing is supposed to be fun for everyone involved. It's not meant to make any one person seem or feel more important than anyone else.

If you're doing either of these things, rest assured that you are the only one having fun.

Seeing how it's become a problem again for no good reason.

Insults =/= Constructive Criticism

Insults =/= Encouragement

Heck, generally speaking: Being an ass helps nobody! Not even yourself! So don't be one!

Send me 🍷 to buy my muse a drink.

[coffeecupmemes]

Go into my inbox and tell me a situation you’d love to see my Muse go through.

Curious how my muse would handle heartbreak? Want an open where my Muse is irrationally upset or in danger? Toss all the ideas at me! I might get inspired!

Anon is optional.

[coffeecupmemes]

Send me a scenario to my inbox that you'd like to roleplay with my muse.

Remember to specify muse for multi-muse blogs!

[coffeecupmemes]

My muse is pushing themselves too hard, and is at risk of collapsing. How does your muse get them to relax?

[coffeecupmemes]

Go on Anon and ask my muse your burning questions!

About them, about their world, about their friends- Anything!

Send me a 💬 if you want to add me on Discord.

I’ve seen a bunch of Skype ask memes, but I haven’t seen a single one for Discord, so I decided to create one myself.

Send 🎵 for my muse to sing to your muse! My muse will sing a song that reminds them of your muse!

MATCHMAKER! Go on anon and tell my muse who you ship them with!

If it’s not someone from their fandom or circle, describe the ship-mate to them.

You can SPECIFY what kind of ship! It doesn’t have to be rom/sexual, even though we all look for those ;) But if you ship someone with them as enemies, family, bff’s, mentor…etc, add that!

[coffeecupmemes]

Send "Trick or Treat!" and my muse will give yours something for Halloween!

This can be anything -- candy, silly spooky plastic toys, glow necklaces/bracelets, "food" erasers, bendy pencils...whatever you can think of! Go nuts and have fun!
