Since it seems like a lot of people are taking breaks from their blogs for a while, I figured this will be an appropriate time to announce my own indefinite hiatus.

It’s pretty obvious that I’ve been pretty distracted after my move last year and haven’t felt as invested in my blogs since. I have a lot of other obligations coming up as well - from a vacation to wanting to gain employment to the possibility of taking classes - so I feel like it’d be best to step back from my blogs for the time being.

I may be around to post some drabbles, art, send some memes, etc, but any threads will be done on Discord. So if anyone would like to continue writing together, feel free to reach out to me and I’ll pass you my handle. If not, you’ll probably see me popping in from time to time on the dash and in your inboxes.

Thanks for reading!

“THE VIRTUOSO” (ISTP-A)

Introverted, Sensing, Thinking, Prospective, Assertive.

Few personality types are as practical and inventive as ISTPs. Known for their rational thinking and willingness to improvise, ISTPs are good at finding unique solutions to seemingly impossible challenges. ISTPs’ desire to explore and learn new things is invaluable in many areas, including their own personal growth.

Yet ISTPs can be easily tripped up in areas where their logical and practical attitude is more of a liability than an asset. Whether it is navigating interpersonal conflicts, confronting unpleasant facts, pursuing self-realization, or managing your workload, you need to put in a conscious effort to develop your weaker traits and additional skills.

Strengths

Optimistic and Energetic

Creative and Practical 

Know How to Prioritize 

Great in a Crisis 

Relaxed 

Weaknesses

Stubborn

Insensitive 

Private and Reserved 

Easily Bored 

Dislike Commitment 

Risky Behavior

aegerine, aquamarine

My muse’s opinion of the supernatural.

Eva has a very animistic worldview and practices a soft polytheistic religion that dabbles in occultism - namely folk and ceremonial magic, necrolatry, and astrology. So it’s safe to say she’s fairly superstitious and can sometimes be caught doing small rituals to keep herself safe from or appease unknown forces (spitting alcohol over her arm, drawing symbols in the sand, blowing plant-smoke over her wagon, etc.)

She doesn’t usually consider anything she’s doing to be out of the ordinary either, and will show no shame in her beliefs and the actions caused because of them. These practices make her feel comfortable and safe, even if some of them are morally questionable. 

Where my muse feels most calm/relaxed.

Camping by her wagon in the middle of the night with a small fire going and food cooking. She likes having peace and quiet, especially if she can take the time to enjoy the night sky.

zebra stone, ulexite

What gets my muse excited.

Unfortunately, not a lot. Due to the nature of how she was raised, taking on a very submissive role among a cult-town where only so few were allowed to speak their minds until they were adults, Eva doesn’t often express joy or exhilaration outwardly. Though, there are a few things that will spike her interests, at the very least, which include penny dreadfuls, sci-fi novels, gunplay, bushcraft, and culinary knowledge. 

How empathetic/sympathetic/compassionate my muse is.

Again, not very. Eva has a limited range in her emotions and that includes feeling compassion for strangers. In Calico, she learned to mentally and emotionally distance herself from the horrors of what went on in her town in order to survive; something that allows her to kill anyone who inconveniences her with little hesitation today. Being out in the bigger world now, however, has slowly worked to plant a more caring nature in her numb, unfeeling heart. Although she operates by looking at her situations from a more logical standpoint than emotional ones, she may help someone out of sheer curiosity. There is a desire in her to learn and understand strangers, their sentimentalities, and the world beyond Calico, but she tries to bury that feeling - much like she tries to bury all of her feelings. 

[crookedcrossroads-archive-blog]

“Best be careful if you head down towards Calico. It ain’t a ghost town, not like you think it is. There’s cannibals in those mountains.

They worship the sun, fire, blood– Thinkin’ the desert will provide. But that ain’t wrong, is it? Always a damn fool will walk into that place and they’ll get their fill.

The only ghosts there are the ones they make.”

Don’t Leave Me Hangin’

( @plshoothemessenger ) Oh, he was falling. That was a more sensible request. 

She’d seen all kinds of tricks people got up to in order to rob her, however, and staging a person to act like they were in distress was not an uncommon one to encounter. There was also the possibility that he did just need help, so she didn’t think it would be entirely right to leave him there. For the sake of her own safety, whatever the truth, she was going to - at the very least - keep her distance. 

“Alright, just hang on,” Eva called to him, no pun intended, before she went to gather up a heavy piece of rope from her wagon parked nearby. By throwing him a line, she’d have a better chance at keeping herself from being thrown off the cliff, whether on purpose or accident. 

Checking the pistol at her belt, making sure it was easily accessible in case danger might arise soon, she wandered back towards the ridge at a rather leisurely pace - not appearing to be alarmed by the situation at hand - and placed herself several feet away from its edge. She didn’t have much going for her in terms of leverage than her own skinny body, so hopefully, this guy didn’t need more than a good grip and a pull to get himself up.

“I’m tossin’ you a rope,” she called to him and aimed her throw to where she could see the stranger’s grasping fingertips, “so you just grab onto that, I’ll try and pull ya up, hear?”

GENERAL RULES

I don’t require or expect anyone to follow me back. If you haven’t return-followed within a few days I will respect your decision and unfollow.

No godmoding, meta-gaming, mind-reading, or power-playing without permission.

This character only exists in one verse.

Evangeline is meant to be a character with a lot of insecurities, inner conflict, and may come off antagonistically at times. This is not, in any way, a reflection of how I feel towards another writer and their character. Eva’s poor moral choices and behavior are not reflective of myself.

In concerns to romantic relationships, this will be something I need a lot of communication on in order to feel comfortable attempting.

Adult content will be present on this blog, such as violence, gore, drug use, and sexual content. If I happen to post any of the above and it gets too explicit, then it will be tagged as clearly as I can manage, marked as adult content, and will be placed under a read-more.

If there is anything in particular that you do not want to see, find offensive, or anything of the sort, please let me know; I want to make sure my followers are comfortable.
