Things I do not think as forcing ships

Since I don’t want people to ever have the idea that I’m trying to force anything or that they are forcing anything by doing any of the following:

Letting your muse fall in over with another muse

Sending crack flirty asks (I love doing this because the answers I get usually make me laugh so hard and it’s so funny. 99,9% of the time I am not expecting us to grow a ship out of that)

Saying to your rp partner that you ship the thing (as long as you do not force them to ship it too, but are simply interested to know if the characters could work out that way and would like to discuss it)

Your muse finding another muse attractive / saying flirty things to them in a thread

     A sort of growl left him as he glanced away, slightly somewhat bitter that the man had already assumed he intended to eat it. Which, of course, he did, but that wasn’t really the point. After a second the man turned back, tapping his fingers on his forearm somewhat impatiently.

     “I will *slurrrp* keep that in mind,” great, so now he had to behave. It wasn’t like he’d never eaten a spider cryptid before, but unlike actual spiders, they were each very... unique. And the bigger they were, the more interestingly they could be prepared.

     While most of those words meant absolutely nothing to him, but he did understand the basics. He was there to look scary, and that was about it. That was fine-- the less work he had to do, the better. Still, it was odd that Argost didn’t immediately assume Munya was enough. Perhaps he was just being cautious. Either way, his role was pretty simple.

     “None taken,” the man slurred through saliva, casually crossing his arms. Pietro wasn’t usually the talkative sort, but he felt compelled to speak with Argost at times. Perhaps it was because he was the only man who genuinely wasn’t absolutely petrified of him, before and after his jaw enhancement.

     “What *slurrp* creature?” Piecemeal resisted the urge to reach in his coat to look at his list, just in case. While he didn’t exactly want to muscle in on his employers prize, some things were just to rare to pass up. No amount of gratitude sullied his ambitions.

“…Let your local biomechanical engineer update your jaw,” Argost leaned on a hand,”…I’m joking. Never lose your drive, Pietro. So few these days value ambition.”

☕,⌚

☕ : Does your muse prefer coffee or tea?

Tea, hands down. Coffee just isn’t really his thing.

⌚ : Is your muse good with keeping on schedule for meetings, appointments, or events, or are they always late? Or, are they always a bit early?

Surprisingly, Piecemeal is quite good at being on time. He’s rather punctual when he wants to be, but often ends up loitering around rather than waiting in one place. Henceforth, people don’t always think he‘s there on time, because he’s off looking at something.

     He glanced down to the other’s hand, an appendage he’d always thought incredibly strange, and made a low noise of acknowledgement deep within his throat. Most people couldn’t get away with standing any less than ten feet from him, but Argost was the... interesting exception. Piecemeal either didn’t mind him, or knew better than to lash out. Either way, it gave the macabre host of Weird World quite the unique advantage over others who associated with the chef.

     Predatory: he’d heard the word used quite often in regards to him, and while he understood the term, Pietro didn’t really grasp why he was refereed to as such. In his own mind, he was just a man like any other. He just liked exotic food, that was it.

     “I appreciate the *slurrrp* compliment,” even if he didn’t really understand it, or the implications behind Argost’s words. “Now, how far are we from out *sluuurp* destination? I’m dying to see what the fuss is all about.”

BODY ONCE TOLD ME

{ Piecemeal flinches when Leonidas states “Everything you do disgusts me.”

[cryptidconnoisseur-blog]

//*jazz hands* figured since the fandom is so small, it might be nice to have a server for discussing this odd little show of ours. Please feel free to join, even if you’ve never talked to me personally! the only requirement is loving tss.

Rules: 

1. Be kind. No slurs or arguments. Do not insult people in a non-teasing way. If you have beef, take it to PM. 

 2. No NSFW. Both sexual and gore/hard violence. If you want to share it, go to PMs. Cartoon violence and slight blood are allowed. Mild dirty jokes are allowed, just be courteous. 

 3. Talk of Ben 10/Generator Rex/Danny Phantom are allowed in main because the fandoms overlap. Just make sure that its somewhat related to TSS. 

 4. If you have problems with anyone else in the chat, certain behavior, or problems with how the server is run, contact the admin. I’ll try and resolve disputes and make sure everyone is comfortable. 

 5. Please no talk of politics/religion. Please respect others viewpoints.

[nightmarexfactory] "I admire his passion and penchant for violence. Not many are willing to pursue their goals with such unrelenting ferocity. I would prefer if he weren't such a loose cannon, however. Leonidas is bad enough; I don't need two unreliable mercenaries."

tell me what your character thinks of mine.

give me ur all ur character’s unfiltered thoughts and feelings.

     Piecemeal was a tad offended that Argost thought him so dense; to think he’d expect the other to perform surgery on the airship! What nonsense. Regardless, the man shook it off, unwilling to fight his employer over something so incredibly minor.

     “The jaw saved my *sluuurrrp* life,” the chef responded in passing, busying himself with cleaning up the kitchen some, “Money means *slurrp* nothing to me, it is a *slurrrp* means to an end. To me, I traded very little for my life.” Pietro offered a crooked shrug, sounding rather dismissive in his statement. He really only asked for money if there was something important he needed, and it was not necessarily impossible for him to obtain. He was a highly requested chef within the black market ring, after all-- being asked to cook all sorts of fantastic and disturbing dishes in trade for quite the large sum.

     All Pietro cared about was being able to eat, and being able to cook. At his core he was an incredibly simple man, quite unlike Argost and his usual cohorts.
