A Guy That I'd Kinda Be Into || Be More Chill Animatic

[carmcndei]

i want to be serious here for a moment and just thank you guys. like real, genuine thank you.

i’ve been in the tumblr rpc for a long, long time. since 2011-- when everything was chaotic, nothing was as neat and organized as it is today;; people didn’t have rules on their blogs, nor they were selective, private or anything of the sort. i remember how anxious i was when those things started popping out one day;; it was the first time i was declined by people i wanted to interact with, and it made me really question myself and my abilities as a roleplayer. i ended up hopping between fandoms for a long long time as they rose and died;; yet the tension in the community remained the same. and it was just so discouraging, to the point i actually stopped roleplaying for a good 3 years.

i was very afraid to open this blog, after my previous one had died out, and yet my best friend Gale here (known to you as @steadfastcommerce ) really just pushed me into trying it, despite everything.  and honestly? i don’t regret one bit for listening to her, because boi---- i’m only here for a week but im so overwhelmed with so much love and acceptance i literally haven’t experienced on this site for good 9-10 years. it’s insane. never in my life i thought i’d find myself AGAIN waiting for the next interaction or the next shenanigan going ic / oc on my dash. you’re all so supportive, so loving and honestly i couldn’t ask for better partners to return to in this community. so yeah-- kinda cheesy, but thank you for?? falling in rp again??

i love you all. ♥

Happy Birthday UT...  -_-;

🌼Ok I am going to say a few things that may be off putting to some people... please be aware this is my opinion and just how I feel in general. This is just something I want to get off my chest... this is a very serious topic so please read with that in mind. 

I am sure some people remember the Dear UT Fandom post that I made a while back. This is an extension to that. After stepping away from the fandom I have seen more trends that have left a VERY sour taste in my mouth. This fandom used to be welcoming and passionate but lately I have seen some behaviors that I can only classify as immature, narcissistic, and entitled. Now I am not saying everyone in the fandom is like this, no, far from but as someone that has been in the UT pit for a very long time... It is disheartening to say that the more of this I see the more I begin to question if people actually UNDERSTAND what the game was trying to say to begin with.  I am going to go on record here to say that I am seriously tired. On a level that I did not think was possible. I still love what I have created and I still enjoy the content that my friends put forth that will never change. At the same time with my split from the fandom I have realized that if you are not in then you are out. In other words those connections you once had seem to break down because you are no longer in the fandom 24/7? Is that... ok? Sure people have different interests but you don’t just drop people because they aren’t in the thick of it like they used to be. What... how? I don’t even understand that.  In addition I have been seeing some highly toxic people spouting some shipping war garbage. Now I know what you are thinking... but Kit you have been dealing with that for years! Yes, sadly but this is where I draw the line. Look I know certain ships are not everyones cup of tea. You all know I am personally uncomfortable with Fontcest and Sanscest content. THAT IS MY OPINION. I am and will always be a RISK girl. That said... I have increasingly seen people become extraordinarily hostile when it comes to this.

I am not going to name who I saw this from because honestly I don’t want to give them the platform but... come on guys. It’s easy to filter tags. Does it always work? No.. but it’s a start. It’s what I do. You really have to check yourself when you go on your blog to call out a specific group of people calling them things like “sick fucks”. Just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean you can tear down the people that do.  Their argument for this was something along the lines of... again the same beaten to death annoying excuse I get every single damn time, pedophilia. They are even claiming that those that make older adult versions are also in this category. The truth of the matter is they are spouting out mindless generalizations in favor of their own outcome... Yes, I am a Frans shipper. It makes me happy but let me tell you a little story. When I first played the game I had no shipping at all. It was a cute little game that I thought had a very profound message to tell. Then I got into the RP side of things. I have always kind of been a person that is into the dark stuff so I auditioned for Fell Frisk, hence my old username. Do you know why I started shipping Frisk with Red? Because of the interactions between my version of Frisk, which would eventually grow into Underworld Frisk, and my friends version of Red. Let’s be honest here... Red is NOT Sans. At least their version wasn’t. It was their own, an OC in a Sans the skeleton skin. That is where my love came from because I will tell you right now... the Red that existed and one I still see from time to time... I LOATHED. I hated his character so much. 

My point in telling this story is that people automatically assume that I looked at the game and went HECK YEAH they should be a couple. Absolutely not. In fact it was quite the opposite. I fell in love with a characterization under that same same. So before people go pointing fingers maybe they should stop and actually think. Not everything is cut and dry. I am sorry if I am pontificating a little bit but I can’t help myself. I am sick of seeing “you need to see help” posts by people that refuse to actually take the time to get to know people. 

That is one of the main problems of social media. How well do you actually know someone? The answer... you probably don’t. Ok I am going to pull back from my soap box. Look... I love this fandom it has been very good to me but I am glad that I am out of it now. I made the @fallenfellfrisk  blog for you all who have supported me and enjoy that kind of content because as a creator I love interacting with people. I know people want to see more of those designs and I eventually will deliver them but for now... I hope you enjoy and support this massive Hell Lore world build I have been working on. It’s going to be crazy and it’s honestly a lot of fun to play in.  So to end this very long “vent” enjoy what you enjoy and don’t be a jerk about it. Don’t put others down and accuse them of things that are not even remotely true. Instead of being so one way or the other people need to really think about a few things. We are all human beings. We are all individuals. Not everyone is going to agree with what you have to say. THAT IS OK. There are ways to shield yourself from the content you do not like. Do not attack your followers. Do not call them names. Do not treat people like garbage or spread rumors about them effectively separating them from the ones they care about. 

Try to remember that your actions have consequences and that your behaviors even more so. Be the best person you can be and remember the humanity of others. Be a positive influence in life and not a toxic egotistical and narcissistic asshole demanding something of someone else. Be... well... kind. 

Today is the day... Happy birthday... Undertale. 

[piltover-sharpshooter]

you said you had a kindred blog, what happened?

//Sorry I took so long! I know this is a munday question, but I’ve been busy.

Anyhow, nothing really serious happened with the Kindred blog. I was popular, hell I’d even go as far as to say I was the most popular Kindred around, and I really like them, but there were a couple of issues that in the end made me want to leave the RP behind.

For starters, once you are VERY popular, your activity actually plummets, because most blogs don’t actually want to talk to you because they feel intimidated (even though I always tried to be super open, it’s just a fact, like ‘oh I’m not good enough’ when I am LITERALLY JUST A REGULAR DUDE LIKE THE REST) and that pressure of ‘being the best’ eventually put me in a terrible spot where I felt I needed to reach this supposed bar deserving of greatness.

Then I’d say back in the day I was much more elitist than I am now, not to an extreme degree, but I was one of those “Uuuuh, you should all be following canon as best as possible you know?” and I do feel that attitude did eventually make it less fun for me. I was the center of one controversy in particular, where I said something really stupid that in canon would make sense, but I forgot that people do this for fun, and sometimes logic can be yeeted out the window.

Also, Kindred was a particularly hard muse to RP, not the least of which being that people didn’t want to talk to death, or they were like “HAHA, I AM NOT AFRAID” most of the time, or that 90% of the time they wanted to just talk to Lamb when I mentioned explicitly in my rules that it’s one of the things that pissed me off the most because it was “Kindred” not “Lamb” (One time I had a thread with someone who literally just ignored Wolf and kept hitting on Lamb, despite the fact that supposedly the other person was on board with recognizing both, and I had to drop it)

Finally, my social group that I’d RPed  eventually kinda disintegrated. Whether it was life calling them, or me pissing them off or them actually being bastards, even if at the time I thought I’d be best of friends with some of those people forever, by the end I was just left with only a couple of people to talk to, .And with  that in mind, the low activity and university on the horizon, I decided “Well, screw it, I’m not enjoying it anymore” and I actually left in pretty good terms.

Cut to 4 years later, I have a lot more time in my hand, I’ve been feeling the itch to RP again, had a new muse and decided to be much more chill. Which is how I am here today, with my Caitlyn and my Sett, a group of friends that I love talking to, and taking it slow and just wanting to have fun. 

I loved loved LOVED my Kindred blog, I still have a huge muse for them, but I don’t have the mental energy or will to bring them back.

Rung mun talk about their crushs!!

So recap for anyone who don’t know: I’m going to tell you all about some of crushes throw out January because one I think it be fun to try and two you guys might learn a little more about me and how nerdy I am. But yeah this is just for fun and I hope you guys like this.

(Again, I’m still doing RP I just thought I do something fun on this blog that isn’t RP related!)

(Some of this are Transformers related and other are not but yeah.)

Today is Sunday January 3 and here is my next fiction crush!

Okay, so I’m kinda cheating, (might be do at least two more cheats ones on this list) but I’m sorry I just couldn’t choose!! They both perfect together. To choose and separate them from each other would be just wrong!!

Fai x Kurogane

Yep, here we go with the first two guys that I crush on a lot when I was way young (Still crush on too) and starting watching anime for the first time because even if there may never be a remake of this show, I still don’t care I love this serious and the characters story so much and this two love story is just ugh, I love them so much!

Where to start...no wait I know where! Their dub voice actors are fucking amazing. 

Like my god, I love Kurogane voice, it so deep and strong, it also is the same voice of a lot of other character I crush on (Christopher Sabat) which I will probably bring up other character he voice in this list as well. But anyway, yeah the voice of Kurogane is just perfect for me and honestly some one I could close my eyes and just listen too all day long, and then Fai cheer and happy voice that is also play by a character from an animes I just love. 

Having both of there voice are just amazing, one cute and one rough. They just both play off each other well and bring out the best in each other.

Kurogane who might act like he don’t need anyone really care a lot about his friends and is always willing to put his life on the line to save them, along with Fai who also willing to do the same thing too. They both deal with pain from there past and are both even if they don’t see it are there to help each other throw that pain, plus when Kurogane cut off his arm to save Fai, that he thought he might die because of that and all he could think about was saving him and Fai crying thing he lost the love his life, like my god there just both love each so much even if they tease each other and sometime push each other to much. Both deep down love each other and willing to do anything for the other, it something I really love about each other and how they also act like parents to the main character like my god Kurogane care so much about Syaoran, he even get him a sword and teach him how to us it, making sure he safe and Fai way being the mother figure to Sakura making sure she okay too! There just both wonderful and carrying! It so attractive!!

THE POSITIVE & NEGATIVE; Mun & Muse - Meme

fill out & repost ♥  This meme definitely favors canons more, but I hope OC’s still can make it somehow work with their own lore, and lil’ fandom of friends & mutuals. Multi-Muses pick the muse you are the most invested in atm.

My muse is: canon / oc / au / canon-divergent / fandomless

Is your character popular in the fandom? YES / NO / IDK

Is your character considered hot™ in the fandom? YES / NO / IDK (I think he’s considered cute rather than hot? Luffy is cute, he’s handsome but cute!)

Is your character considered strong in the fandom? YES / NO / IDK

Are they underrated? YES / NO / IDK

Were they relevant for the main story? YES / NO 

Were they relevant for the main character? YES / NO / THEY’RE THE PROTAG.

Are they widely known in their world? YES / NO

How’s their reputation? GOOD / BAD / NEUTRAL (depends on who you ask)

How strictly do you follow canon?

I’m trying my best to follow canon and Luffy’s way of thinking, sometimes lack of thereof. He’s got this nice bubbly energy about him that I really vibe with so coming up with silly things isn’t that hard. Though I must say I’m also a sucker for serious Luffy, which he can be when needed. He’s still a fresh muse so I do look forward to see how I’ll develop him further and see what might change!

SELL YOUR MUSE! Aka try to list everything, which makes your muse interesting in your opinion to make them spicy for your mutuals.

Do you need a ray of sunshine in your life? A friend who would never let you down and is willing to risk his life for you? A friend that keeps his promises and will always lend a hand? If you answered with ‘yes’ on one or all these questions, look no more! Monkey D. Luffy is your man! This beautiful, pure boy who will one day become the King of the Pirates is here to brighten up your day with his gigantic innocent smile and wonderful laugh! You’re up for a real adventure with Luffy! He will take you places, you’ll make many wonderful memories and meet lots of new people, explore lands you’ve never seen before and create everlasting bonds you’ve never imagined possible! Whether you want to or not, the moment he proclaims you as his nakama, your fate is sealed :)

Now the OPPOSITE, list everything why your muse could not be so interesting (even if you may not agree, what does the fandom perhaps think?).

Pardon? Luffy is interesting no matter how you look at it. He may be irritating to your muse with constant need to get into trouble, or perhaps to the mun his overpoweredness may come as irritating, which is valid. I will be the first to say that I call bullshit on many of Luffy’s victories but at the same time, what do we all expect from a shonen protagonist? So I don’t think he’s uninteresting, perhaps he might just come out as triggering. There are things about Luffy that trigger me, but I never found him uninteresting? Am I answering this wrong?

What inspired you to rp your muse?

Impulse. A few friends recommended taking a new muse to balance my mean bean Vergo. When thinking of who I should take, Luffy barged on doors of my humble home, broke them down and said “From today on, we’re nakama!” I never had a say in this, really.

What keeps your inspiration going?

People! I’ve met many wonderful people here on tumblr (I knew many from my Vergo blog) but met many new ones for the first time! I love throwing ideas and plotting, or just letting the muses drive, but honestly Luffy always has some ideas in his brain to make everything interesting.

Some more personal questions for the mun.

Give your mutuals some insight about the way you are in some matters, which could lead them to get more comfortable with you or perhaps not.

Do you think you do your character justice? YES / NO

Do you frequently write headcanons? YES / NO (on some later date I will!)

Do you sometimes write drabbles? YES / NO (again I will!)

Do you think a lot about your muse during the day? YES / NO (Vergo doesn’t let me)

Are you confident in your portrayal? YES / NO

Are you confident in your writing? YES / NO (always, no one can knock my confidence down)

Are you a sensitive person? YES / NO

Do you accept criticism well about your portrayal?

I do, but only when it’s genuine and given with good intentions. Obviously, I don’t know what mun and muse think of my portrayal unless they tell me: is there something that might trigger them, is there something they think is over the top? I am interested in such things and other opinions, but at the end of the day it’s my portrayal so I call the shots :P

Do you like questions, which help you explore your character?

Absolutely! It’s always nice to explore questions I might not think of or just see what interests people in my portrayal. It’s fun and gives me chance to dive deeper into the character which is always good.

If someone disagrees to a headcanon of yours, do you want to know why?

I mean yes and no? I won’t change my headcanon but I’m always interested to know why specifically they disagree. Discussing is fun if it’s done civilly, but at the end it’s my headcanon and we’re all allowed to have our own opinions. 

If someone disagrees with your portrayal, how would you take it?

I don’t pay mind to it? We all take muses to portray them how we want to, not how anyone else wants us to portray them. If someone is unhappy with my portrayal they’re free to unfollow, no hard feelings and no offence taken from my side. 

If someone really hates your character, how do you take it?

It’s all cool. Not everyone is going to love every character, and while Luffy is popular, there are some things that make his character that may irritate someone. Sometimes we end up loving a specific character thanks to the mun rping them, so if someone dislikes or hates Luffy maybe I can change their view on him? Sounds kinda arrogant but it did happen with Vergo so yolo! If they still hate him that’s cool, we are all entitled to our opinions.

Are you okay with people pointing out your grammatical errors?

Naturally! English is not my first language, it’s my third as a matter of fact, so mistakes may happen! Even though most times I notice the mistake myself as well and end up cursing because I haven’t seen it in time XD

Do you think you are easy going as a mun?

I think I am! I’m really open to talking with people, plotting, joking, throwing some hcs and ideas around or just chatting about anything really! I’m an extrovert so I love meeting new folks and getting to know them and their characters. I’m a joker at heart and those who have talked to me or know me better can confirm that lol

That’s about it, congrats for filling out!

GET TO KNOW THE BLOGGER .

Can be used for RP and non-RP blogs to get to know a bit about the person behind the screen!

1. FIRST NAME: emmett

2. STRANGE FACT ABOUT YOURSELF: i have an overall weird talent for mimicking character voices, but the most notable one is Stitch from Lilo and Stitch

3. TOP THREE PHYSICAL THINGS YOU FIND ATTRACTIVE ON A PERSON:   -✧ eyes, definitely, even though it’s a bit of an oxymoron because of how much i HATE making direct eye-contact in conversation, but i like eyes when i can look and the person isn’t looking directly at me -✧ how a person smiles is a big one, because happiness is really heckin beautiful and it’s even better if i know i’m the cause of a smile -✧ freckles. i absolutely love freckles, like, the more the merrier. it’s like having constellations on their skin, like the universe doused them in glitter idk, they’re just super pretty 

4. A FOOD YOU COULD EAT FOREVER AND NOT GET BORED OF: mac n cheese, esp if it’s nice and gooey with lots of melted cheese. i go absolutely ham for good mac n cheese lol

5. A FOOD YOU HATE: i don’t really care for beans of any sort. baked beans are an exception but, like, they gotta be the sweet kind. i hate sausage, in general, esp breakfast sausage because the smell just makes my stomach feel bleugh 

6. GUILTY PLEASURE: collecting stupid quarter machine figurines and writing complex, self-insert fanfiction in my head that never make it into written form because i am not brave enough to actually write any of that shit down lmao

7. WHAT DO YOU SLEEP IN: leggings and a t-shirt, sometimes just a shirt and nothin else cuz i live in florida in a house with no central air and it’s HOT don’t judge

8. SERIOUS RELATIONSHIPS OR FLINGS: serious, but only because i’m not emotionally capable of flings and i have to get p close to someone for anything bedroom-related to come up, and if it’s gotten to that point i’m definitely already HELLA ATTACHED and probably already telling the person ‘love you’ in casual conversation

9. IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN THE PAST AND CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT YOUR LIFE, WOULD YOU AND WHAT WOULD IT BE: i honestly don’t know about this because, like, ideally i would have left my parents house way earlier than i did, or at least tried to assert my demand to be treated like a human being way earlier, but, then again, everything that’s happened in my life has led me to the point i’m at today and if things had gone just slightly different, i might not have met my husband, or i might not be as sure of my gender identity as i am now. so, like, even though a lot of things in my past REALLY SUCKED, there’s only a specific few things i might change but even then i’d be hesitant about it because i like how my life is now, even with all the shit i had to struggle through to get here.

10. ARE YOU AN AFFECTIONATE PERSON: probably, yeah, i am def that touch-starved bitch who craves physical affection, be it platonic, romantic, or otherwise. i’m not down to hug or cuddle with a stranger but, like, if i’m friends with someone and know they’re cool with it, they’re gettin loved on

11. A MOVIE YOU COULD WATCH OVER AND OVER AGAIN: all of the LoTR/Hobbit movies, any Studio Ghibli film, the last unicorn, WOLF CHILDREN EVEN THO IT MAKES ME LITTLE-GIRL SOB EVERY TIME, Venom, Detective Pikachu, THE PRINCESS BRIDE

12. FAVORITE BOOK: island of the blue dolphins, the entire animorphs series, DRAGONRIDERS OF PERN SERIES, actually just about any book with dragons in it where the dragons are complex and not evil is absolutely my jam, the Abhorsen series, also the Hunger Games... i don’t really have one specific favorite book that’s literally impossible to decide lol

13. YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO KEEP ANY ANIMAL AS A PET, WHAT DO YOU CHOOSE: anything that isn’t a spider or a bug that can inflict bodily harm unto my person. i just really love all animals okay just gimme a farm house or a ranch so i can have ALL of my favorite animals in one place that’d be ideal. but if i had to pick just one i’d want my cat because she’s the best little girl and i’ve only had her for 4 days but i would die for this chaotic little ball of fluff you have no idea. i am incomplete without a cat at my side

14. TOP FIVE FICTIONAL SHIPS [IF YOU ARE AN RP BLOG, YOU CAN USE YOUR OWN SHIPS AS WELL]: (FMA) ed/winry or ed/ling, just let the kids be happy, (WITCHER) geralt/jaskier/yen, because geralt has two hands and both of them deserve to be held, (FMA) greed/not dying au’s, I JUST WANT MY BOY TO HAVE A HAPPY ENDING IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR?, (ATLA) katara/zuko/aang, lemme have my loving polyam pairings, (ADVENTURE ZONE) taako/kravitz, because the bar doesn’t get much higher than seducing the grim reaper with threat of tentacles

15. PIE OR CAKE: i literally cannot choose between the two, i have favorites from both categories and i BAKE so that makes it even harder

16. FAVORITE SCENT: vanilla, peaches, and books

17. CELEBRITY CRUSH: brendan urie or kiera knightley... also david tennant

18. IF YOU COULD TRAVEL ANYWHERE, WHERE WOULD YOU GO: new zealand, because i’m a nerd and that’s where LoTR was filmed, but i’d also like to go to japan

19. INTROVERT OR EXTROVERT: definitely an introvert

20. DO YOU SCARE EASILY: very much so, but i do still enjoy horror themes in movies and games, even if i can’t play most games myself and have to watch lets plays of them

21. IPHONE OR ANDROID: i’ve only ever had android phones. the only apple device i ever had was an iPad but since i was only using it for art i don’t have much of an opinion on it beyond that lol

22. DO YOU PLAY ANY VIDEO GAMES: i’m currently playing the witcher 3, whichever final fantasy has Noctis in it- i don’t know what the number is because i have a hard time reading roman numerals, kingdom hearts 3, and animal crossing new leaf (if any of you also play i am welcome to giving out my friend code if you’re interested!)

23. DREAM JOB: making a living off my art, or even getting into video game design

24. WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH A MILLION DOLLARS: pay off debt/overdue bills, finally get hormone therapy and top surgery, and get myself and my friends and chosen family into a better house and away from abusive situations

25. FICTIONAL CHARACTER YOU HATE: i don’t think there are any characters that i hate tbh, i might hate things that certain characters DO, but that’s not the same as hating the character itself. from a design perspective, though, Tingle from LOZ can fuck right off, actually. WAIT SCRATCH THAT. SHOU TUCKER CAN SWALLOW A CACTUS WHOLE. that is all. ahem.

26. FANDOM THAT YOU WERE ONCE A PART OF BUT AREN’T ANY LONGER: twi//light, until i realized just how gross smeyer was and how her writing is, objectively, not as great as everyone made it out to be

GET TO KNOW THE BLOGGER.

For rp & non-rp blogs to get to know a bit about the person behind the screen !

1. FIRST NAME  ⇢  Ray  /  Rayne.

2. STRANGE FACT ABOUT YOURSELF ⇢  I live in what’s literally classified as a village. Think ‘small town’ vibes but like, squared.

3. TOP 3 PHYSICAL THINGS YOU FIND ATTRACTIVE ON A PERSON  ⇢  Bright eyes, colored hair (blue and red are my favorites), tattoos.

4. A FOOD YOU COULD EAT FOREVER AND NOT GET BORED OF  ⇢  Fried rice. Also, mint chocolate chip ice-cream.

5. A FOOD YOU HATE  ⇢   Tomato-based anything, tbh.

6. GUILTY PLEASURE  ⇢  I don’t really have guilty pleasures, but... my fascination with plushies / stuffed animals? The fact that I still unironically watch the old Care Bears movies??

7. WHAT DO YOU SLEEP IN  ⇢  Usually whatever I wore that day, unless it was something really uncomfortable or something I’d rather not wrinkle to all Hell. When I actually change? PJ pants and a t-shirt or tank-top; I have a couple actual PJ sets, but I don’t wear them very often.

8. SERIOUS RELATIONSHIPS OR FLINGS  ⇢  Both, honestly? They both have appeals for me. That being said, serious relationships are far more important to me, and my relationship always takes strict priority over whatever ‘flings’ may arise.

Reminder: I’m poly, my relationship is open to me having flings, this is not an admittance of doing anything less-than-appropriate, don’t jump down my throat.

9. IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN THE PAST AND CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT YOUR LIFE, WOULD YOU AND WHAT WOULD IT BE  ⇢  There are countless bad things in my past, that I imagine most people would want to change, but... those sort of made me who I am today, for better or for worse, so I wouldn’t change any of that. That being said? If I had the chance to take my mother’s cancer away, I’d do that.

10. ARE YOU AN AFFECTIONATE PERSON  ⇢  Incredibly, in most senses of the word. I’ve always been physically affectionate, and I’ve gotten more verbally affectionate in recent years.

11. A MOVIE YOU COULD WATCH OVER AND OVER AGAIN  ⇢  Labyrinth, or Logan.

12. FAVORITE BOOK  ⇢  Way too many to collectively list here. I’m a huge fan of Hawksong by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, though.

13. YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO KEEP ANY ANIMAL AS A PET, WHAT DO YOU CHOOSE  ⇢  A Mexican black kingsnake, that’s the dream. And I’m going to have one someday, nothing can stop me.

14. TOP FIVE FICTIONAL SHIPS  ⇢  I’m gonna keep this in-fandom, because I have way too many ships in most my fandoms if I don’t ‘narrow it down’ a little... Dabi / Hawks, Dabi / Twice, EraserMic, unironic adoration for various ‘unlikely’ ships with Dabi. Annd for an on-blog one, my favorite ship with an OC is probably my ship with @sensoryquirk  !

Also: The Todoroki Kids & Rei  x  Recovery & Happiness. 

15. PIE OR CAKE  ⇢  Cake.

16. FAVORITE SCENTS  ⇢  Peppermint, lavender, Dragon’s Blood incense, white sage.

17. CELEBRITY CRUSHES  ⇢  Tyler Blackburn, Aaron Paul, Boyd Holbrook, Ksenia Solo, Ashley Graham, Britt Robertson.

18. IF YOU COULD TRAVEL ANYWHERE, WHERE WOULD YOU GO  ⇢  Honestly? To see my partner and metamour, down in Alabama. I miss the Hell out of them. But outside of that? Probably London; I’ve always wanted to go there.

19. INTROVERT OR EXTROVERT  ⇢  Introvert.

20. DO YOU SCARE EASILY  ⇢  Yes, which is fucking ridiculous given my adoration of multiple horror series. I apparently do not know what self preservation is.

21. IPHONE OR ANDROID  ⇢  Android, 100%.

22. DO YOU PLAY ANY VIDEO GAMES  ⇢  When I have the energy for it! I mostly play games on my 2DS and my phone, these days, and some PC games. The old Fossil Fighters, an old Harvest Moon game, Pocket Camp, Plague Inc, the old Starcraft, Fallout... to name a few!

23. DREAM JOB  ⇢  Author & Poet, hands down. But outside of that? Some sort of typist job.

24. WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH A MILLION DOLLARS  ⇢  Pay off my family’s medical bills, go to therapy, finish repairing our house, actually get my own health in order... adulthood things, honestly. Fun things would come after all that.

25. FICTIONAL CHARACTER YOU HATE  ⇢  I don’t hate characters easily, but fuuucking Mine/ta. Cannot stand the brat, genuinely makes me feel ill when he’s on screen, would honestly love it if he got killed off. 

26. FANDOM THAT YOU WERE ONCE A PART OF BUT AREN’T ANY LONGER  ⇢  Oh dear Lucifer... That’d be SNK  /  Attac/k on Ti/tan, definitely. I used to be really into it, kept up with the manga, was active in the RPC, the whole nine yards. But between some personal bullshit that happened, and the fact that the creator turned out to be fucking terrible... yeah, no, we’re done with that shit. Still lowkey would die for Levi, though; miss the fuck out of that muse at times.

[pursuingideals-moved]

Hiya everyone! I want to say thank you for everything. It had been one year when I have this blog. So yay, pursuingideals had turn one year old! This make me very happy and not only that, right now I have 88 followers. ^^ So thank you everyone, thank you for following me, rping with me, interacting with me. You guys are one of the main reasons that this blog is still here. There are many times I am worry that my Kunikida is not good enough but I hope you enjoy rping with me and my portrayal of Kunikida. I know there are other more amazing and popular Kunikida blogs than me but I am still thankful for the people who follow and rp with my Kunikida. You guys all help this blog turn one year old. So thank you everyone for following me! Thank you for all the fun times you gave me! Thank you for helping this blog be alive! Thank you for rping with me! Thank you for being patient with me since I am a slow partner. Also I just find it funny that today is also my father’s birthday (August 26) so lol this blog and my father both turn a year older and Kunikida is kinda like a dad (well more like a mom but still) haha. I was feeling lazy and would just want to only tag people like I did when my Regulus blog became three years old but nah since my Kunikida just became one year old, I will do more than that.

@aiolia-leo / @luminos-red / @minerva-the-witch / @altered-aegis / @durkhankes

Afelle, hey you and Zaria are like my best friends on tumblr haha. XD Well, Zaria isn’t rping on tumblr anymore so it is just you but you know how much I love rpng with you whether it is with Regulus or Kunikida. Minerva and Kunikda are such good friends…more than just good friends lol, it will take a while for Kunikida to notice while Minerva is aware of her feelings already. But one day Kunikida will notice his feelings and he and Minerva are going to be one badass and cute couple. Kunikida and Lumina’s interactions are so cute, he is like the father Lumina wants. Ahhh and when Minerva and Kunikida get together, Lumina can call him daddy! Aiolia and Kunikida are good friends too. It is funny how Aiolia is like the older brother/mentor to Regulus and now he is the younger one in this relationship since Kunikida is so responsible and Aiolia looks up to him despite being higher status and Kunikdia sees him as a more responsible Leo saint than Regulus haha. Kohaku, oh so much things to say. While Kohaku is originally an evil character, he is completely different in the Bungou Stray Dogs verse, he is trying to learn how to be good again with Kunikida’s help. Kunikida is like that father and teacher that Kohaku need. I just love their relationship so much. Luke, Dei and Kunikida, while Kunikida doesn’t know a lot about them yet, he does respect them and lol I bet the more they know of him, the more Luke wants to hire him because he is so responsible and hardworking haha. But anyway, so many muses and threads and fun times between us. ^^ It is unfortunate that the Bungou Stray Dogs fandom is not interest in rping with you but hey as long as we have fun with each other. (Hopefully this will help get you some followers, jk I highly doubt that unfortuantely but ah well) Thank you, Afelle!

@thesoaringaquila

Hey Jemi! Our threads between Kunikida and Kallistrate is so much fun. It is always fun to see Kallistrate constantly teasing Kunikida and at least with her teasing, she seem to genuinely wants Kunikida to lighten up and not be so serius and uptight while Dazai’s teasing seem to poke more fun to annoy Kunikida more haha. It would be interesting to see their friendship grow more and see how they interact with each other more. Lol, now wait and see when Kallistrate ever see Kunikida’s list of ideal requirements for a romantic partner, she would be horrified. XD (cross out that requirements) So thank you for rping with me!

@muses-galore

Hi! First of all, Tetsu is such a cute oc. I know there isn’t a lot of interaction between Tetsu and Kunikida yet and Kunikida seems to scare Tetsu but lol he isn’t scary just too serious for his own good. XD But I am sure they will get more interaction and later when Tetsu get to know him better, he would see that Kunikida isn’t as scary and nice just like Regulus said he is. But thank you for rping with me!

@pxrtalmxster

Hey Kayla! Your oc, Kayla is very interesting, I can see that you put a lot of thought and development into her. I had fun rping with her. Our threads are so interesting, I mean I think our threads are the only ones that actually goes into depth and explores more of both characters, Kunikida and Kayla and I love that. I wish I would have more threads that explore the character but for some reason, it is strange cause our thread is the only that does that. (Lol, while for Regulus, I have more threads like that with him even if he is a more simple guy and Kunikida is more complex….) Not only that, Kayla and Kunikida’s relationship is interesting and complicated. They are not fully friends but at the same time, kind of are, as I said complicated. Kunikida is just confuse by Kayla and want to understand her more and Kayla is still keeping secrets and can see Kunikida is a good guy but not someone who could understand her. It is unfortunate that many people in the Bungou Stray Dogs is not interest in rping with your oc but I do hope you have fun rping with other people including me. ^^

@somegremlin / @setsunanoai

Hey Stella! I love your Yumeno so much. He had suffer so much and deserve happiness and a normal life as a child not as a prisoner of the mafia (I mean he lives in a prison instead of a room) And you know he can finally get the life he want in our au! I just love Kunikida fatherly relationship towards Yumeno so much! He just wants to give Yumeno a better life and help guide him to be a better person too. Yumeno is finally happy with the agency. As for Atsushi and Kunikida, I would have never expect us to have the crack thread haha but this would be fun. Lets have fun watching Atsushi and Kunikida in silly hats catch the criminal! Ahh overall,I love our threads and thank you for rping with my Kunikida.

@a-hell-of-a-lot-of-muses

Hey Saki! I know I mostly rp with Nathaniel and Margaret and I enjoy the threads with you and them so much. The threads between Margaret and Kunikida are more light heart but still fun especially with them getting along and Kunikida being pleased that at least someone understands that one must have ideal requirements for a romantic partner (and then watch as Margaret becomes horrified if she ever saw Kunikida’s ideal requirements, hadn’t happen yet but lol you never know) And Nathaniel and Kunikida, our threads are more heavier and enjoyable as we explore their interactions. It is interesting to see Nathaniel being free from Fyodor’s brainwashing and deal with the aftermath of it and how he is slowly trying to regain his memory and along the way Kunikida is going to help him. :) It would so much fun to explore and I am excited for the potential relationship between the two.

@diverse-hearts

Hey Mira! I know you have so many muses haha but I rp with your Chuuya, Odasaku and Strelitzia and I enjoy our threads. I know you keep saying you are slow but I am so much slower than you. I mean you have so many muses and threads compare to me but seem to be faster than me haha. I know I am not as interactive as your other muns but I just want to let you know I still find our threads enjoyable. I am excited to see how Odasaku, Strelitzia and Chuuya interaction with Kunikida grow since all of our threads are still just establishing things between them. Thank you for rping with me!

@yokohamaweretiger / @mishmashofmuses / @thestraydcgs

Hey Hunter! It has been fun rping with your Atsushi, Karma, Ranpo, Dazai and Jelle. I know I am a usually quiet person but I enjoy our coversations as well as all the quotes and posts you send me on discord. ^^ I know we have a lot of threads as of right now and of course take your time with them but I am always excited when you reply whether it is for Atsushi with so many verses (vampire, royal, main), Ranpo with the carrot cake, Dazai and his teasing and Jelle with his crush on Kunikda and Kunikida’s confusing feelings haha. Cause we both know Jelle and Kunikida will end up together haha. But yeah thank you for rping with me. ^^

@nullcfied / @invcin / @distorticnist / @nythz

Your Dazai is amazing and I have enjoy rping with you. I had always want to explore more deeply the relationship between Dazai and Kunikida and it has been hard to do when most of my other threads are just fun threads where Dazai bothers Kunikida as always but I am glad I can explore that with you. I enjoy our threads even if none were finish haha and I am super slow but it is the development between the two in our threads is interesting. Maybe those two would develop into somthing more, we will see. And even if I never rp with Kunikid with your multimuse blog, I still enjoy our threads between Regulus with N and Alcor. Our threads between Kunikida and Mishima are also enjoyable and even though we hadn’t gone far yet with Nyth, I am sure it would be an enjoyable thread. So thank you for rping with me.

@odigcs / @tryferotis

Hey Juh! I know Kunikida and Eleni doesn’t have a lot of interactions yet but I am still happy that we rp together. I can’t wait until Kunikida finds out about Eleni’s powers, he is going to be so freak out haha. XD But thank you for rping with both of my muses and I always enjoy our coversations between us especially our current on where we talk about Eleni and Regulus’ views on heroes, evil, good and death and I think that is all it was one long conversation hahaha.

There are so many others too that I rped, seen on dashboard, haven’t rp yet (and would love to rp with you) or rarely interact. I still want to say thank you. Again, I am only going to include people had been active and not others who had been inactive since they had left already. Thank you for being amazing and following and rping with me and the fun times together:

[majoracats]

No estaba tan segura al principio si publicarlo aquí o en el blog de RP pero la publicaré aquí y ya luego la rebloggeo:

Debido a que hoy es Día del padre en mi país (creo que también en EUA), pues decidí hacer unos pequeños dibujos relacionados a esta fecha:

1.- Un pequeño dibujo de Delia con su papá, Arthur, Delia tenía una relación muy buena con su papá, les gustaba salir juntos, ya sea para ir a pescar, nadar o simplemente comprar de comer. Arthur siempre quiso a Delia y aún con la desaparición de su esposa se encargó de criarla y que fuese feliz. Lamentablemente el falleció por una enfermedad muy grave durante los sucesos de la guerra, el único a quien se le ha notificado la noticia es a William, pero aunque el y Delia sean muy unidos, no se atreve en decírselo, esto debido a que quería mucho a su tío y que no quiere herir a Delia y llevarla a una depresión fuerte (justo como lo que le está pasando al padre de William, Gerald)

2.- La verdad esto queda como un recuerdo de cuando estaba por irse a la armada o algún futuro hipotético en el que William se reencuentre con su padre y de la noticia de que Delia no sobrevivió (honestamente ambas opciones me gustan pero a la vez me da tristeza :,D). Ya hablando de su relación, William al principio tenía una relación neutral con su padre hasta que su madre los abandonó que fue donde hubo un choque, hubo regaños y peleas, lo que hizo que William se distanciase de su papá; hasta que Delia llegó que fue donde William reflexionó sobre sus acciones y en lágrimas se disculpó por todas las cosas inmaduras que el hizo; este suceso hizo que la relación de ambos aumentara y quedase al nivel de la que tenía Delia con el suyo (pero queriéndose a su propio modo, claro). Actualmente, Gerald está en tratamiento debido a la depresión que le causó la muerte de Arthur y está con el horrible miedo de que talvez nunca vuelva ver a su hijo y a su sobrina de nuevo.

Por ahora sería todo por esto, espero y haberme explicado bien, nos vemos en otro post ;3

English:

I was not so sure at the beginning if I post it here or in the RP blog but I'll post it here and then I reblogged it:

Because today is Father's Day in my country (I think also in the USA), then I decided to make some small drawings related to this date:

1.- A small drawing of Delia with her dad, Arthur, Delia had a very good relationship with her dad, they liked to go out together, whether to go fishing, swimming or just buying food. Arthur always wanted to Delia and even with the disappearance of his wife was responsible for raising her and to be happy. Regrettably, he died of a very serious illness during the events of the war, the only one who has been notified of the news is William, but although he and Delia are very close, he doesn’t dare to tell him, because he loved his uncle very much and doesn’t want to hurt Delia and lead her into a severe depression (just like what is happening to William's father, Gerald)

2.- The truth remains as a reminder of when I was about to go to the army or a hypothetical future in which William is reunited with his father and the news that Delia didn’t survive (honestly both options I like but at the same time it gives me sadness :,D). Speaking of their relationship, William initially had a neutral relationship with his father until his mother abandoned them, which was where there was a crash, there were scoldings and fights, which caused William to distance himself from his father; until Delia arrived that it was where William reflected on his actions and in tears apologized for all the immature things he did; this event caused that the relation of both increased and stayed at the level of which it had Delia with his(but loving to its own way, of course). Currently, Gerald is in treatment due to the depression that caused Arthur's death and is horribly afraid that he may never see his son and his niece again.

For now it would be all for this, I hope and have explained me well, see you in another post ;3

[kusunokihimea]

     [ Okay, so, uhhh, time for a lil real talk with Sylvie. A lil tl;dr to start: I know I was just on hiatus while away to see family, but uh...I think I’m gonna go semi-hiatus on my RP blogs for a while, which I’ll detail under a cut. Life is just seriously kicking my and my family’s butts right now, and honestly I’m just...too stressed to devote as much time as I want to my hobby. I’ll do what I can, when I can, but just know my muse is super thin right now cuz I’m just...not in a good place. Thanks, as always, for your patience and understanding.

     Be warned this gets a little personal and a little dark sooo viewer discretion is advised.

     Sooo, where to begin, uh...my family is in very deep financial trouble. Has been for a good long while, but a LOT of things are coming up all at once, as I’m sure most of you know that Life likes to do. I’m in desperate need for dental work, our septic tank is in dire straights, and a whole slew of other things I won’t go into for personal reasons. I won’t lie, while I was away to my aunt’s, I got super stressed out and exhausted. I didn’t sleep for four nights in a row. The day after we got back I had to help haul 4 tons of hay we can’t pay for. I’m still extremely tired and lethargic. Being there was stressful due to the super conservative environment that had me on edge almost always. My mental health, as a result (which in all frankness is always very very bad) got even worse, and I’ve been having a lot of trouble just...keeping it together. Today was just...a tipping point.

     I have almost no ways to make money. I have very serious issues that make work practically impossible, and no money to TREAT said issues so I COULD work. I tried art commissions, and those never took off. Never expected them to, honestly. I have a once-a-year job I just got paid for, but I’m probably going to already run that dry here soon for my dental stuff, if I can even afford it at all. I’m in constant pain throughout the whole right side of my face because of literally rotting teeth (jaw, temple, eye, head). And just, uh...yeah. I don’t even know what else to say, but a lot is going wrong and coming to a head all at once and honestly I’m not...handling it very well. 

     I don’t even know what or why I’m saying this, honestly. I love this community, even if it’s really changed since I got here. A lot of people have left, but I appreciate everyone still here, new or old. I just dunno what to do. So this is me saying that, at least until the end of August, things are probably gonna be slow from me. It’s not because I don’t want to RP with anyone, it’s just because life seriously sucks right now (even tho I feel guilty saying that as I know others have it worse). I’m not doing well. I dunno when I’ll be doing (relatively) well again. I dunno...a lot of things. 

     But I guess all I’m asking is please be patient with me. I love these characters, these people, this community, but sometimes I just...need to put it aside as Life gives me the ol’ one-two. I guess if anyone has any inclination to help (which is 110% not necessary, but I can’t be above asking tbh), I do have a ko-fi here, and I do pixel art commissions here. I dunno how well I can manage commissions due to all the stress, but I’ll do my best if you want to get one. You’re not expected or obligated to. I’ve done one written comm, but tbh I dunno how to really...work those. But I could try? idk

     The only thing I’m gonna for sure keep up is my drabble blog. I need the structure from it, honestly. RP blogs are gonna just have to take a back seat for a while. I really do hate to do this, I just...I dunno. I don’t wanna get too deep into things because it’s rather bleak, but just know that I’m not...in the best place. Irl isn’t great right now. Honestly hasn’t been for a long time, but it’s just...at a tipping point. I dunno what to do. Just know that I love and appreciate all of you, and I hope to be back full time soon. We’ll just...have to see.

     ...this probably made no sense but I’m not in the best place to explain. Still need to let y’all know why I’ll be gone tho, so...sorry if this is just a jumble ^^; I’ll try to be here when I can. Otherwise try to catch me on discord (ID is on my mun page). See y’all around <3

[stichd-a-blog]

Hey so!! I said I was gonna do something special && here it is!! 

I got a BULK of my followers around last week during the whole ‘appreciation promo thing’ people were doing. But because I had like 30 followers && knew none of them at the time, I couldn’t jump onto the bandwagon.

                                                        NOW

I was going to wait for 100 followers, but then i realize it may come off as just forced if i do that?? && I’m so close to 100 anyways I felt it would be better to have a small appreciation post now rather than later!! because I want to give back, what so many gave to me && without most of my followers, I wouldn’t even have an active blog rn??

So I’m gonna tag a few of my faves/the people who’ve given me && stitches their patience. But please know, that if you’re not on this post, it doesn’t mean we’re not friends, or can’t BE friends. I welcome everyone to interact w/ me with open arms, even though my muse is like . . . super small && not known, anything is possible && we can always make something work!!

                                                    ANYWAYS

here are small blurbs for some of the people i love!!

@cartoonlonk. My god, i think you know why you’re on here Goo. tbh i was afraid i was gonna come off as weird to you?? but I ABSOLUTELY love the shit we come up w/ through discord. && without all the stuff we SCREAM at each other, Stitches wouldn’t have acquired his mobile paper shredder to get rid of all the incriminating paper work he doesn’t want to deal w/ — plus your boi sharing his plush w/ my boi?? good shit.

@thehopcful. anyone who isn’t following this gem, please do?? Pinks OC is an ABSOLUTE precious bean. not to mention, Pink is also a precious bean && I love when we just throw ideas @ each other. I’m so glad to have followed you, because if i hadn’t, Stitches wouldn’t have him self a second personal assistant && lbr he needs like 50 of those to function . . . . I enjoy our chats && just the random hcs we throw down, all around a good time!!

@drcamiipriince.  hhh h h hH HH H LOOK AT OUR BROKEN BOIS?? not to mention your dreamburt is a gem — maybe perhaps DREAMY?? ANYWAYS i absolutely love the little things we keep doing, its amazing && i think both our muses benefit from it— Stitches lowkey concerned for the pillow now, he’ll probably protecc if anything ever goes wrong. . . . but like?? I see alot of potential w/ these two!! ALSO just mutual to mutual i love reading your hcs for dreambert, you really do a gr8 job at playing him!! I’m glad I stumbled across you through all the appreciation posts!!

@planetruled. You’re a meme. Honestly tho, when you dropped into my stream the other day, I absolutely LOVED how you were just like ‘we gonna see dat boi soon??’ because honestly it was a big mood for me && I was RUSHING through that whole level just to show him to you LOL. I love our little interaction between  Comoestas && Stitches because they’re just being two salty evil dudes being salty @ eachother. I loom forward to them having a bro moment tbh?? I feel it.

@sternenteile. Okay so first off, LOVE your Geno, I don’t think I’ve said it yet, but I honestly do. We haven’t chatted much other than the tags from our rp, as well as small replies here && there. But?? I love LOVE how Geno deals with Stitches && sorta just, uses fire to play w/ fire to try && get a rise out of him— but not in a malicious way.  I look forward to more interactions between these two, I know they might not seem like that have a lot to work with at the moment, but I see a lot of potential in the future!!

@monsterbane. We’ve talked . . .  ALOT. our first ic interaction last night— wasn’t even serious, but I love these two already. They’re GOOFBALLS && I’ll enjoy any interaction between them. Just don’t expect Stitches to down a Rathalos or anything during a hunt, he’ll probably just watch from afar  . . . or write down another half-assed quest so he can have one of those for his castle as well. 

Just remember, if i didn’t write a blurb about you, it doesn’t mean I don’t love you, there are still so many blogs I appreciate— sometimes from afar because I am afraid. But i’m still gonna mention ya’ll anyways because today is blog appreciation (i’m declaring its such a day— don’t @ me)

@juzhuu . @topazwarped , @nightmareoverlord , @puffywarrior, @undeadrphub, @dcfctio, @ganondorfthedarklord, @birds-multimuse, @allnostalgic, @pseudogaiety, @laslow, @gwaitm, @commandingxmask, @pinedecode, @gyrcid, @burstbombbitch, @sangfear, @bonepranks, @cosmcther, @greendreambro, @heroesofunderdark, @origcmibird, @envyfallen, @soulhaine, @fleursouverain, @umbracute, @skeletations

 BASICALLY all above are people i’ve interacted with a little— or not at all && just watch from afar lol, if any of you ever want to do anything, please let me know, like before, I welcome everyone to interact w/ me with open arms!!

Thanks again to EVERYONE who has been super supportive of me && my muse. Like I've said countless times before, its hard to be a character from something not many know about, it takes a lot of patience on both ends; all of you have shown me that you WANT to learn more about Stitches && i couldn’t even ask for anything more than that!! i’m glad I've done enough to make people interested in Underhero && I’m glad people love Stitches.

                                                 Thanks again!!

The Story So Far

This Jade comes from a doomed timeline where “the kids” were much older when they started playing Sgrub. In fact, they were at the beginnings of their adulthood when they got involved with it, and maybe that is why their timeline failed with winning the game. They simply started too late. But fortunately for them, they weren’t doomed to wander the dreambubbles until the end. Thanks to another timeline who was more successful than them with bringing Lord English’s destruction to an end, Jade and everyone else got brought back to life and got to begin a new life in a newly made galaxy.

Both trolls and humans exist in the same galaxy and even in the same solar system, but on separate planets within reach of each other. The use of transportalizers are being in frequent use as the inhabitants exchanged goods and culture with each other. Naturally, Jade having reached god-tier during their session, became some sort of guardian for the new habitable planets and galaxy, helping kickstart civilizations and protecting them from outside dangers. Once the troll and human societies could manage themselves, Jade started to pay less and less attention to the status of their newfound galaxy and instead began to focus on herself.

Jade set out for a path of self discovery. She would often be seen attending parties, partaking in intoxicating substances and enjoying the carnal dance with whomever she fancied. She even at one point had her own webshow as a camgirl, making easy money all for fun. (throwback to 2013-2014 previous rp here on tumblr as Jade where this blog was a kinkblog with a focus on exhibitionism and voyeurism)

Today, Jade is still all about having fun and spreading positivity. With years passing, she actually has matured a bit and her focus in life has shifted from just wanting to have fun, to wanting something a bit more real and stable. Maybe even taking on some responsibility once again?

Personality Info

Jade may be an incredibly silly and goofy person who almost always seem to be in good spirits, (Your girl just want to live her happiest life now when all that death and destruction, hopefully, is over), but she is capable of being serious if the situation requires her to stop with the silly hijinks.

She is very sweet and cares a lot for her friends, and would do anything for them. During their game session she did everything within her power to help her friends through it. She even sacrificed her own dreamself in order to save John’s. And this behavior still applies to this day. She will spend a lot of time trying to help her close friends to the best of her abilities.

Though, lately she can be quite selfish, seemingly always wanting what’s best for her, catering to her needs and desires. Sometimes to the point of her not realizing that she’s stepping over the other person’s boundaries.

Jade has a habit of bottling up her emotions and when the metaphorical bottle gets so full no more could possibly be crammed into it, you would expect its contents to start to spill out of it but in Jade’s case it’s a burst of negative emotions. Her whole demeanor changes from kind and caring to bitter and sometimes outright rude. She isn’t mean towards anyone without a good reason.

At times Jade has difficulties understanding and dealing with some of her friends more psychological traumas. This is because she doesn’t posses the ability to relate to it. Jade wants to be reliable and useful, and to her that parses as a practical and solution-orientated thinking. This often isn’t as appreciated as she hoped it would be and she might get fed up with the person she is actively trying to comfort/help when they completely ignore her solutions.

After being cooped up on an island out in the middle of nowhere alone while growing up, it’s no wonder that she’s starved for contact and physical interaction with others. This is one of the reasons why Jade enjoys the intimacy of being in someone else’s arms (whether it’s an embrace, good cuddle or something more explicit), and will try to initiate it with close friends and people she is attracted to. Being rejected by the one she loved also pushed her onto the path of enjoying casual intimacy in an attempt to fill that void.

Speaking of living on an island with no one to physically interact with, Jade hasn’t learned about the social boundaries and etiquette that exist. She’s blunt and often speaks her mind about things. Even though she’s sweet and patient, if someone’s being rude, either to her or a dear friend, she will call them out for it.

General Info

Name: Jade Harley Age: 26 years old DOB: 1st December, 1995 Species: Human-dogtier hybrid Pronouns: She/Her Romantic orientation: Demiromantic Sexual orientation: Pansexual Occupation: Dog (god)

Appearance Info

Height: 1,71m Body type: Pear-shaped figure and toned body. Hair color: Dark brown Eye color: Hazel green Other: Dog ears and tail, white fluffy fur. Body hair is more dense but she shaves the majority of it, as she prefers it that way. Leaves the hair on her arms, it doesn’t bother her that it’s there. May go a couple of months without shaving her legs.

NSFW Info

f-list

My Jade loves sex. She loves talking about it and having it. It’s definitely something she’s not shy about, in fact she can be a bit too forward. With that said, it is worth to point out that she will not force herself on anyone. She might try to push some boundaries (unless you aren’t okay with it), see what she could get away with but if the other person tells her to stop, she will stop. Consent is important.

Private parts gets trimmed regularly, sometimes shaved/waxed. She likes to keep it neat down there! No dog-dick.

Congratulations, ALYX! You’ve been accepted for the role of VIOLA. Admin Rosey: As we all know -- I am a Viola stan first and a human being second. And a Phoebe Tonkin stan third. But that’s beside the point. Viola is a character who is highly complex because of all the moving gears and pieces that she had going on; deception, familial obligation, honor, and heart. She’s a self-made woman and it’s difficult to capture the voice and methodology of a character like that -- but Alyx, you have truly outdone yourself and capture her perfectly. She’s a catalyst and I can’t wait to see what chaos will come undone at her touch. Please read over the checklist and send in your blog within 24 hours.

WELCOME TO THE MOB.

Out of Character

Alias | Alyx

Age | 20

Preferred Pronouns | She/Her

Activity Level | Pretty active! I’m out of school for the Summer and I have yet to find a Summer job so I’ll be around whenever you need me. I will be going out of town for one week in June but even then I’ll have my laptop so I can still rp and keep in touch with the players.

Timezone | CST

How did you find the rp?  | Honestly I’ve known about it since its first release. I planned on applying the first time around but I just never felt a serious connection with any of the characters. Now, I was reminded of it when Rosie reblogged a character bio and honestly I was hooked after that.

Current/Past RP Accounts | https://camillepaol.tumblr.com/ and https://emiliadelacroix.tumblr.com/ are my most recent ones.

In Character

Character | Viola

Valentina- “Healthy, strong”

→She prided herself on being strong. At first, it was a means of survival. Toughen up, or you’ll die another nameless kid in the streets. She kept her chin up. She kept her mind sharp. She knew she needed to know the streets of Verona better than the people that built it if she wanted to live to fight another day. Then, it became more of a pride thing. She had made it through the first few years without her parents. She and her brother were still alive. She couldn’t crash now, or else the life she worked hard for might fall apart before her very eyes. She prided herself on being the strong one, the fighter of the duo, and she didn’t plan on changing that. Finally, it felt easy being strong. No tears were shed over meaningless things. No thoughts of giving up after a failed con job. She was told that she needed to break the world or the world would break her, so she any opportunity life threw in her direction and she ran with it. Working for the Montagues was just the peak for her. A purpose, a reason to fight, people to fight for. Yes, there was no doubt in her mind that her strength had gotten her further than any doubt or crying could have.

Persephone- “Queen of the Underworld”

→ She was too young to remember her middle name, so she chose one for herself. Queen of the Underworld, Goddess of Death and Spring. She felt that the name suited her as well as it suited the Greek figure the name originated from. She wasn’t that young girl that ran around picking flowers. She wasn’t naïve enough to think the world was a kind and good place. No, that mentality was lost the moment her parents abandoned her and her brother. That mentality brought on the girl she is today. The woman who calls the night her home. The woman who would walk through Hell to protect her brother. The woman who is locked in a dance with death itself, yet somehow always comes out on top. She was no maiden. She wasn’t as pretty and fragile like the flowers that represent Spring. No, she was the inevitable. She was a queen in the slums she called her home, and she was ready to make people see that she was more than meets the eye.

Gallo- “Family Name”

→ Valentina Gallo. Welcome to this world. Oh, how she wished that’s how her story began. There were days when she wished she had been born into a loving family. She used to be able to picture her brother and her living in a nice house and not having to worry about money or the struggles of growing up. Sadly, that’s not how her story went. There were no Christmas mornings spent around a fire. There were no family meals before school. Her last name didn’t bring about joyous memories, but rather painful reminders of a life that was lost. She had no positive memories of her parents. How could she, knowing how their story ended? How could she think about the good they did when all she truly knows is their absence? Some days she wished she could see them again only to tell them how well she’s been without their presence in her life. Valentina thought about changing her last name. Smith, Erickson, anything to scrub her parent’s burn marks away and allow her a new beginning.  She had even traced the steps form her small hole in the wall to the courthouse to make the switch when something held her back— Santino. It was a symbol of their connection. He was the sun to her moon. He was the Apollo to her Artemis. Two sides of the same coin, she’d give up everything to keep him safe.  Valentina kept going so he would live. She turned colder so that he could keep his light. He was a soft glow of a candle and she’d be damned if someone blew him out. She’d keep the family name, but only because it allowed them to have a connection so deep that only death could shatter it.

What drew you to this character? |

Honestly my usual type of character would be the soft ones with a tragic past, but I always found myself admiring the strong characters as well. There’s something so captivating about a character with a lot of fight and drive in their system, and I definitely felt that in Valentina’s bio. She’s had to fight from a very young age. She never got to be this soft, delicate little girl who got shielded from the bad things in the world. She’s someone who’s known pain and neglect since childhood and it definitely affected her in a lot of ways— even though she would never admit to the fact.

I think I like her because I understand her. I understand her need to fight the world. She’s a girl driven by passion. That passion could be good and help her, such as putting on a good performance to score some money for her and her brother, or that passion could hurt her, such as becoming a double agent for a mob that wouldn’t hesitate to kill her if she stepped out of line. I feel like she tends to walk a fine line between the two, but she finds a certain thrill in that risk. She’s one to take chances and hope that it pays off in her favor. She’s someone that will accept any challenge thrown her way. She’s daring, temperamental, ambitious, and just a strong willed woman in this rp.

I know she may not be my strong suit when it comes to characters, but I genuinely feel like I can do her justice. I put my all into developing my characters past their bios and connections, and Valentina will be no exception. Especially since this is such an intricate and involved rp, I have no doubts that I can make our local Montague soldier shine in the way she rightly deserves.

What is a future plot idea you have in mind for the character? |

Self: You weren’t born to be soft and quiet.

→ I want her to struggle between her roles. She’s someone who wants more, but more can become too much very quickly. She’s a girl balancing between the Montague soldier that she actually is and the Capulet soldiers she’s pretending to be. At one point, the balance will shift and one side will not be happy with the result. I’m waiting for that day because I feel like it’ll give Valentina a bit of a reality check. She’s someone who believes she could carry the weight of the world on her shoulders and be fine, but the mobs aren’t people to test and she’ll eventually have to learn that lesson.

→ Honestly this one would have to be discussed with the admins and the Santino rper, but I’d think it would be interesting if their parents resurfaced after all of those years. It’s my understanding that they left and didn’t die, so I would love the angst that would come out of the unwelcome reunion. Valentina’s a person who really doesn’t think of her parents with respect or fond memories, but it might be a different story if they were actually face to face with her. Would they be proud of the person she became? Would she care if they were proud? Would she even let them near Santino? All questions that might be answered in due time.

→ I want her to interact with more people. I feel like since she’s playing one side while remaining loyal to another, it could lead to a lot of interesting relationships. I like the thought of her actually being fond of one of the Capulets and being worried because she knows how deep the feud runs and knows people who interact with the enemy don’t last long. I also like the thought of her just getting to know some neutrals and letting the disguises she wears down a little. She’s so caught up in this fight that she often forgets how to breathe, and I feel like a neutral character could teach her how to let go of the breath she’s constantly holding.

Santino: Hell is just another place you’ll go to keep him warm.

→ I want all of the flashbacks from their childhood. They were truly the only thing that kept each other going, so I’d like to explore that dynamic. Go into detail about how they learned to survive on the streets. Explore their first con or first bit of change they snuck out of a man’s pocket. Dive deeper into how they reacted to being abandoned by the people that were supposed to care for them the most. Their upbringing played a bit part in who they are, so let’s take a trip to the past and really get into the mindset of these two street rats.

→ I want something that will tear these two apart. Maybe it’s a betrayal or death, but anything that will drive a wedge between these two siblings. They’ve always been around each other, but what if that weren’t the case? Valentina thinks the world of her brother. Santino loves his sister more than anything. I want to see what will need to happen for that to change. I’m not sure anything will truly turn them against each other, but I do feel like things can happen that will make these two kind of take a step back from their dynamic and explore other relationships.

Ramona: Not yet corpses. Still, we rot.

→ I love these two and would love to explore their dynamic. They’re just so similar, the same soul trapped in two bodies, and I want nothing more than to rp them and their adventures. Valentina’s someone who didn’t grow up around girls and wasn’t used to having female companionship, so I want to explore their first meeting.  They’re like thunder and lightning, a frightening combination, and I want to know if people around them always knew they’d end up that way or if their friendship was a bit of a shock to the Montague crew.

→ I want Ramona to find out about Valentina’s secret. This could be done either by accident or Valentina giving her the information herself. Valentina’s someone who has a “I don’t need anyone’s help” mentality, so I think it would be interesting to see her give in and let someone know what she’s been trying to do. I also want to see how Ramona reacts to it. Would she be impressed? Would she think Valentina has a death wish? Would it be a combination of both? We don’t know. All I do know is that Valentina has to tell someone her secret sooner or later, and I’m hoping Ramona’s the person she’ll ultimately end up confiding in.

Easton:  We were both created in chaos.

→ I feel like these two share some similarities with each other, and that was part of the reason Valentina sees him as a sort of weak link in the Capulet’s armor. They’re both from shattered homes. Valentina, with her abandonment and fighting to feed her and her brother. Easton, from his misplace in his own family. They’re people that could relate to one another, challenge one another and I feel like Valentina will use that as a way to grow close to the boy. If she was lightning, he would be fire, and together they could do some real damage if they were to become allies.

→ This one would definitely need to be agreed upon with the Easton rper, but I can see these two hooking up? Valentina’s trying to get through his defenses and worm her way into the Capulet’s ranks, and I can see her going this route to try to warm him up to her. They’re two people who definitely think highly of themselves, who wish to fight— whether it be their family or the world in general, and we all know passion and anger tend to walk a fine line.

Castora: You would destroy yourself for her.

→ She loves Castora as much as she loves Ramona. The cousins are the closest friends she has, and Castora definitely has a soft spot in her heart. Valentina knows the girl’s take on love and she finds it interesting. Valetina’s a girl full of passion, a girl that would go to the ends of the earth for those few people she holds dear, so Castora’s just an enigma to her. I like to play more on their opposite feelings. Do they ever get into arguments? Does Castora’s closed off heart ever affect Valentina? Castora’s not cold, but Valentina knows that her mother affected her in a way that was quite opposite to Valentina and her parents. I just think this pairing is interesting and I want to explore their dynamic even more than the biographies have.

Halcyon: You do bad things in order to survive.

→I would love for Valentina to manage to sneak her way into Halcyon’s trusted circle. She sees this woman in power and she’s intrigued—especially because she’s a Capulet. Valentina doesn’t know her story, doesn’t know the struggles she went through to get to where she is, but she’s determined to do anything to get the woman to trust her. If she has to go digging into the woman’s past, then she’ll do it. She just needs a way to connect to the woman, then she’ll be able to work her way up the ladder. It’s a dangerous task to be messing with someone so high up in the Capulets, but Valentina trusts herself enough to take on the risk.

Are you comfortable with killing off your character? | Why am I even being asked this question? Of course you can kill her off. I dare you.

In Depth

In-Character Para Sample:

Valentina was a shadow in the night, a lithe figure that seemed to move around the streets of Verona with an ease akin to that of a cat. She knew the streets like one knew an intimate lover, and the path she was on was certainly one she walked a thousand times before. It was the same every night: wander out, look for those who seem most likely to fall for a sob story or not notice a missing piece of jewelry, then come back and share the spoils with Santino. It was a routine she mastered, but it was also a routine that bored her. There were only so many times she could watch a rich businessman look at her with sympathetic eyes. There were only so many times she could walk away with an engaged woman’s ring before the nights began to blur together. She was a creature of substance, a creature of vices, and she needed to find another vice to fill her desires.

Her eyes always wandered to certain figures during her nightly strolls. Men with guns on their hips and knives strapped to their legs. Woman who walk the streets as if they owned the city itself. She watched them not with a jealousy, but rather a curiosity. She wanted to know more about them— to be one of them. They held power that she could never have in her state. They held fight that she had been displaying her whole life. Whispers were often heard about the Montagues and the Capulets, a rivalry as old as time itself, and she couldn’t help but picture herself alongside them. War is often said to tear people apart, but perhaps she was ready to be made into something new.

This would be the night it all would change. She would propose this idea to her brother: join one of the sides, move up the ranks, and finally make something of themselves. No more cons, no more stealing. They’d get enough money to get their own apartment. They’d be able to afford more food than just a piece of bread or a sandwich to split between the two of them. They’d be free to do whatever they wanted. It was a dream that Valentina only wished to follow. This rivalry would be her resurrection. This war would be her new beginning. If only she could somehow convince her soft hearted brother to go along with her plan.

Her feet carried her all the way back to the abandoned room her and her brother were staying at. She could walk around this city blindfolded and easily get to the right place. The streets had been her domain for so long that it was strange to imagine them actually living in a home and not some old motel or deserted apartment. It was a good kind of strange, though. She would love to finally have her own room and a place to store what little things she kept on her body. Her brother would be able to take up some hobbies and not have to worry about her safety all the time. It was perfect.

What was not perfect was the eerie feeling she got as she wandered up to their little hideaway. She had left her brother alone for a few hours but perhaps that was too long to be away from him. She trusted him, but everyone else in Verona? She didn’t trust them.

As she pushed the door open, her jaw clenched at the sight. The dead body spilling blood all over their few possessions. The man with a gun to her brother’s head. The quiet acceptance in her brother’s gaze—as if this truly was how he would die. There were many questions that ran through her mind, but she would have to ask those later. For now, she needed to pull off one last con and make sure her brother was well and alive.

“Well, I’m sad you all threw a party without me. Really, Santino, inform me next time we have some visitors. I would have cleaned the place up.”

She saw the man’s alarm that there was not one Gallo in his midst, but two of them. Perhaps he thought he would get done with this quickly and move on to whomever else wronged his boss, but Valentina was nothing if not difficult. She casually walked over the dead body in the room and stood near her brother and the man who was invading their space. She gently placed her fingertips on her brother’s shoulder before glancing at the man.

“Now, why don’t you put the gun down? I’m sure my brother and I can figure out some way to settle this misunderstanding. You’ll find we can be quite loyal to those that treat us well. Isn’t that right, Santino?”

And within a few more exchanges, she had sealed their fate. Work for the Montagues. A life of work in exchange for their lives. Her brother may have thought she was signing their death wish, but she found herself signing a new beginning. This wasn’t a punishment. This was a blessing, and she was ready to prove that she could be the soldier they always wanted.
