#<- tumblr let me edit tags on mobile you cowards

[moonchild-in-blue]

I was tagged by @dearscone to share 6 albums I've been into recently - as always thank you for the tag babes 💖

Nap Voucher - Take Me Back To Eden | Rex Orange County - Apricot Princess | Muse - Absolution | Crown The Empire - The Resistance: Rise Of The Runaways | Radiohead - A Moon Shaped Pool | Eepie Coin - Jaws

I have been listening more songs than actual albums, so to speak. I'm kinda in between vibes (???) and let those song-based yt radio/mixes take over. So I just picked the ones that come up more frequently. (Sleep Token is kinda the whole thing but I've been back into the TMBTE groove, and Jaws owns my ass)

actually the one album i've had on replay is [foghorn noises] but. well

Also this is not originally part of the game but I'm feeling extra so. Here's my favourite song from each album:

(this is pretty much tied with The Apparition but. Chokehold has me in a- )

(lol)

6 albums so let me tag 6 people lol (how did this little dot grew into a big circle 🥺 too many frends to tag 🥺) @eepymonstrr @melit0n @channelsoph @lifemod17 @polteergeistt @a-s-levynn

Meme || No longer accepting (CAUSE THERE ARE NO MORE QUESTIONS TO ASK) || @agirlofwinterfell​

the be honest meme.   

WoW Britney. 

Questions under the cut. 

What would prevent you from following someone?

Excess drama, reblog karma, vauge-posting, and general aggressiveness are big ones for me, but the main thing is if I like their writing style and if I can see our characters getting along.

Are aesthetics important to you? If they are, why?

Aesthetics are kinda “meh”?? I mean, I like pretty things, but it’s a lot of effort and I’m very lazy.

What current rp trend do you hate?

Over edited icons and tiny dark themes?? That’s just a personal preference because I have poor vision and it’s hard for me see/read. 

How do you explain rp to someone in the real world?

hahaha I don’t. I just say I do collaborative writing as a hobby. 

Do you prefer interacting with male muses or female more? Why?

Female muses. I love male muses, but I’ve been here so long and since I’ve only written female muses, I had to deal with that particular brand of discrimination and so every time I interact with male muses I’m still filled with this sense of anxiety. 

Do you prefer writing male muses or female more? Why?

Female muses, and I guess it’s because that’s what I’m comfortable with??

What’s your opinion on call out posts?

I understand why it might be done, but at the same time I think it’s a bit unfair? No matter how good the intentions are, someone is being branded as this, that or the other thing according to a handful of people on the internet. If that information is wrong, or someone is misled - that causes a lot of heartache for the accused and I would just prefer not to be a part of it. 

Name any three things about the rpc that bother you.

Discrimination

Mob mentality

BRITNEY SENDING ME ALL 38 QUESTIONS (no I’m kidding, ilu)

What is your opinion on exclusivity? Do you practice it? Why / why not?

I get it 100%. I get pretty attached to my partners and sometimes it gets to a point that I have a hard time writing with someone else that writes that particular muse since I already have so much history with my partner, but on the other hand, tumblr is constantly changing. People drop in and out all the time and that’s cool, so I feel like exclusivity is just a temporary thing. 

Have you ever had a bad experience with commissions? As either someone who makes them or as someone who buys them?

Nope. 

What do you know now about rp that you wish you knew when you first started?

While we know that communication is integral to real life relationships, online friendships tend to require more upkeep and more effort at reaching out. 

Have you been involved in drama? Do you regret it?

Possibly? It was private stuff and my name was never brought up.

Have you ever thought about leaving rp? What caused it? What changed your mind?

Nah, not really.

Do you think rp has had a positive or negative affect on your life or you as a person?

I think that it has a positive affect! I’ve met a lot of nice people and it’s a fun hobby. 

How has rp changed you personally?

It’s made me more confident in my skills as a writer and more honest with how I feel about certain subjects. It’s taught me to focus on me and not what the world or internet might think about me. 

If you could change one thing about rp on tumblr, what would it be? Why?

Any of the three things that bother me from above, for obvious reason. 

Have you ever sent a message to yourself on anon? Why?

Nah

Have you ever sent hate to yourself on anon? Why?

Nah

Do you delete anon hate or post and address it? Why?

I delete it, I don’t see a point in reinforcing that sort of behavior? Someone that is sending anon hate is going to be continuously checking your blog to see how you respond. They want that attention, they want the satisfaction of knowing that they hurt you or got to you in some way and nothing is better than frustrating someone that hateful. 

Have you ever felt pressured to write something you weren’t comfortable with?

Yes. 

Have you ever followed someone because you felt like you had to, not because you wanted to?

Nope. Tumblr is a hobby and it’s meant to be enjoyed. 

What would make you block someone?

Rudeness, blatant disregard for my rules, harassment, and drama. 

Have you ever stolen something from someone else?

Not intentionally and not that I’m aware of. This is something that I’m constantly afraid of?? I love duplicates and I often follow/discuss my muses with them and I’m always scared that at some point, I’ll claim that something we’ve spoken about or that I saw around, was my own idea. I tend to avoid metas for this reason and if there is ever something that I do want to make canon for my muse, I always ask first and credit where possible. 

Have you ever had something stolen from you? If so, how did you handle it?

Not that I’m aware of?? 

Are you open to duplicates? Why / why not?

See above.

How do you feel about vague posting?

I think it’s childish. Just talk to the person that you’re having issues with and I just am too tired and too anxious to put up with it. 

Do you follow people even if they don’t follow you back?

Not so much anymore. I tend to do a lot of mobile browsing/blogging and I don’t ever want to push myself into place where I’m not welcome, so by only following mutuals, I save myself a lot of time. 

Do you read people’s rules before following or interacting?

Yes, but I forget them pretty immediately, so I tend to do a refresher before I send memes or write a reply to a thread. 

What is your opinion on “reblog karma” and do you practice it?

No, I can understand how disheartening it can be to reblog memes and not get anything while other users are reblogging things from you, but it’s the internet and everyone is free to do whatever the hell they want so long as it is not exploting/hurting others and I don’t think it’s fair to coerce/force/guilt other users into interacting with someone.

How have you responded to popular slang used on tumblr? Do you use it in every day life? Do you use it at all?

Nah, not really. Vines are the ones that have fucked up my vocabulary. 

Is there something you don’t know the meaning of but you haven’t asked anyone because you think it’s supposed to be general knowledge? Was there ever something you had to ask someone to explain?

I used to be confused about the differences between “private” and “mutuals-only”, but I’ve got it figured out now. 

Have you ever experienced discrimination?

I’ve been writing female muses on tumblr for just over seven years. 

How do you feel about personal blogs following your rp blog?

It’s fine, so long as they don’t reblog threads. 

Have you ever cried while writing a reply?

Ohh yeah. @rcsethcrn​​  is to blame for most of my tears. 

Do you read other people’s threads or do you only read your own?

I read ones that come across my dash, but I don’t really follow them? I’ll read the ones that catch my eye.

What’s one thing that other people seem to hate that doesn’t bother you?

I’m not sure tbh?? There isn’t anything I can think of at the moment. 

How do you feel about tagging triggers? Do you tag them? How do you determine what is triggering content and what isn’t?

I do my best to tag triggers. I think they are valid and given my work/education, I can’t bring myself to leave them off. I try to stick to general terms for things that may be upsetting to others?? I’m not very specific, but I try to go off of what I would find uncomfortable or refer to this mental list of things that are more generally upsetting. 

What advice would you give to someone new to rp?

Be kind to yourself. Don’t let what people say get under you skin, don’t get hung up on who follows you and who doesn’t. Do what is best for you and your mental health.

before you follow

(sorry about formatting n stuff, im on mobile as literally always but ive been getting a ton of complaints about my bio length so uhh a link to this is replacing that. also, ive tried to bold everything important, so itll be easier to skim.)

edit originally from 22 november 2020: hi, it's alsa. we're a system, the body is 20 right now (born in october '03, in case you see this n aren't sure if our age is up to date or not). overall, this is really outdated. check @lunarssong-system for more information on us, ig? i colorcoded based on who wrote what, this color is niko, n this color is me, alsa

personal information stuff

name: Niko (dave k., dakota, n pato also all refer to niko. dave by itself might mean him n it might mean strider). our system is the lunarssong system

pronouns: he/him! or they/them (if referring to all of us or a specific individual whose pronouns you don't know, use they/them.)

nontheistic as for the rest of the system, most of us who are religious are pagan.

im transmasc

bi, maybe ace or demi

our body's age is, as of october 2023, 20. we're an adult now. some alters definitely won't be. so please still keep that in mind. esp if you're not sure who you're interacting with.

i'm physically & mentally disabled, also, we're plural. we likely have DID or something similar. we're traumagenic, but we support all origin types & are anti-sysmed.

white american

@rose-the-emo-cryptid is my actual, literal, little sibling, if youre confused by any of my interactions with them. and if youre shitty to them i will physically fight you

♦️♦️♦️ @imabitcontagious is my moirail ! go appreciate them, you cowards!!! ♦️♦️♦️

our system acc is @lunarssong-system. the pinned post has a list of our @s, n most of us who have a tumblr have a bio in our descs. if you wanna know abt someone who doesn't then ig you can just. ask. we might not wanna tell you though n we have every right to choose not to. even if we know you. n it's not necessarily smth personal if we do

i havent responded to a message, and its been a while

im perpetually exhausted, easily distracted, and nervous/awkward as heck, so dont worry if i take a while to answer an ask or dm!! its nothing personal, im just a mess! you can remind me to answer/reply, if you want, but please dont be rude/guilt trip-y about it it's also possible that someone opened it (so dismissed the notif), n didn't reply or tell anyone else abt it, so ngl, sometimes a reminder to reply might be in your best interest. unless you want a literal three year late reply (yes. yes we have done that)

who will i block on sight? whats my opinion on [x shitty thing]?

pedophiles, abusers, etc., and people who attempt to support/normalize them WILL be blocked.

TERFs, truscum, and other forms of transphobes, as well as racists, ableists, religiously intolerant individuals (islamophobes, antisemitic people, etc), homophobes, panphobes, biphobes, aphobes, and any other kind of bigots WILL be blocked. exclusionists can fuck off. yes, bi/pan/etc mspec lesbians are valid. learn your fucking history. anyone aspec (arospec or acespec), intersex, polyam, etc is 100% welcome in the queer community. if they wanna be in it, we have a space for them n want them here.

i rbed a post from someone problematic.

if i RB a post from a shitty person (examples would be the above listed things, and other similar ones), please, please, feel free to dm me or send me an ask (on or off anon) letting me know what the post is, and what the person who posted it did, and ill take it down and block them. chances are, i saw it in a tag or in the notes of a post, and had no clue. people like that and their ideas are not welcome here.

i said something wrong about race/religion/nationality/any minority im not a part of

im a white american, and while im not christian, my beliefs dont exactly qualify as (oppressed) minority. for this reason, i tend to steer clear of butting in on those discussions entirely. however, if i ever do say something stupid/out of line/just plain wrong, PLEASE feel free to correct me so i don’t continue making the same mistake. its not your responsibility, but i would appreciate the help with becoming a better person. ive got a lot of prejudice, as much as i wish i didnt, but im aware of it, and working on it.

i posted something triggering without any warning

if youd like me to add a TW tag, send me an ask (on or off anon), or dm me, and ill add it. dont worry about bothering me, i dont mind, especially if it helps someone else! however, it may take me a while to get around to that, apologies in advance. in the meantime, i wont be upset if you have to unfollow me.

if you still have questions of any kind, dm me or send an ask! i dont bite, i promise

you may not get a reply from niko specifically, but most of the rest of us are p friendly! n usually the unfriendly ones wouldn't be responding to smth on here.

n if you're worried abt a more hostile member of our system (like me. lmao) responding, you can just mention that you don't want that. we try our best to be harmless to anyone who means no harm, but a lot of us can be really hypervigilant n overreact or see hostility where there is none. so we appreciate clarification, tone indicators, etc

if you read this far, thanks! we genuinely appreciate it. - alsa
