@kohlapsar asked: questions for the mun - i am asking youuu the first question from each section ! :y

Questions for the mun. | accepting!

When did you first start writing?

ehhhh i wanna say 13 years old? on paper with pencils and pens. i was introduced to tmnt and for some reason i wanted to write fanfic. but i wanted to also be a part of it. ironically, the self-insert i had for that was just as shallow as literally everyone else, but it did get me started on my love of writing. i just had to learn.

What is your favorite canon muse?

on this blog, i guess it might be diluc, but i also think it's because i've projected some things onto him, both from myself and character archetypes i've much enjoyed.

as a whole, it's hard to choose, but i can at least give a handful. donnie, shredder raph, miketrap...okay so they're all canon divergent in a few ways, but shhhh.

let me put the rest under a readmore, because things do get more nuanced from there.

Who was your first OC?

honestly, this is also even more hairs to split.

there was one from a batch of my very first writings who began to show more of a personality over time, and eventually she became a longer-lasting oc, until i eventually wrote an original story for her. unfortunately, as i shared her and even rp'd her on tumblr to return her to her fandom-based origins a bit, things began to stack onto her that i hated associating with her.

people godmodded her. one even wrote in/ce/st about her and her goddamned daughter. they acted like they knew her more than i did. eventually, she no longer felt like my character, but a stranger. i still have everything for her, but i couldn't look at her the same after that point onward.

ironically, she wasn't even the self-insert of that group of characters. she just happened to develop a personality first.

HOWEVER. if you want to talk about the character i first called an oc and had the term for it, that would be roza. she was also the first self-insert that i'd made simply because hee hee hoo hoo comphet feelings.

In what fandom did you start?

that would be the tmnt fandom, both for writing and rping!

What are you looking for in a ship?

honestly, you have to hit that wire just right for me to talk for ages about a ship. i don't know how, but it really just happens sometimes, with some ships sticking to a wall better than others.

What are the trends when it comes to writing that you adore?

post-length icons are a blessing, honestly. you get a lot of room to express yourself on them, and it really helps with designing a vibe sometimes.

not sure what else i can come up with trend-wise off the top of my head tho.

7. What is one overrated roleplay trend?

going around and spamming extremely nsfw shit in people’s inboxes “for laughs”. i certainly wouldn’t want to open my inbox to find someone sent me an ask with “CUM DUMPSTER”, after all. it’s not even me “being a prude”, it’s just something i’d end up deleting.

this doesn’t include starters, obviously, since those aren’t meant to shock. if it’s a nsfw starter, i generally would’ve expected it by reblogging a meme or talking to the person in question.

it’s not even technically roleplaying, but i’ve seen rp blogs do it and i’d rather not deal with them. i’d consider it a trend because there really weren’t people doing it up until recently.

20. Do you need music/noise to write or do you prefer silence?

i tend to prefer silence. music is generally for when i want to stim by pacing, and just let my mind do its own thing, you know? generally, the only noise is my computer whirring beside me.

@mylupical​ asked: 14, 15 and 24!!

♡ Munday Meme ♡ | accepting!

14. Who is an author that inspires you?

would it be weird to say r.l. stine? knowing how much scholastic milked his franchise to the ground? because he was basically The Favorite Author for me since i was a kid. i even got my hands on It Came From Ohio bc i was in deep.

we shared some things in common, like how we tried to do comics when we were young, but it’s also of the world that he introduced me to: horror! some of it with a ironic or even comedic twist! considering i was a voracious reader even before finding his books, i will say that the amount i had to read was more than satisfying.

his writing isn’t the greatest, his characters aren’t hugely fleshed out, but when you’re about 8-10 years old -- they don’t need to be. the stories just have to engage you. and they certainly did to me.

15. What do you look for in a rp partner?

a mutual understanding definitely works great in most partners, especially where the lines for boundaries are drawn. however, that’s what we have rules pages for, and that’s typically where i would follow a person because i’m interested and i know i don’t break their rules as written.

however, other traits i look for are active interest and communication. it’s a pleasant surprise to receive people showing active interest in the characters i’ve written, and to be able to communicate and plot things out are even better.

i try to give an active interest when i write starters and whatnot, but that’s only because i’m rather shy otherwise. i don’t want to force myself onto people, so when someone approves of the active interest i’ve given, it makes me feel more at ease.

24. What about your muse are you most proud of?

it really depends on the muse you’re talking about! some muses i’m proud of simply because of the development i’ve made on them over the years ( miketrap, donnie, a couple of others ); others i’m proud of because they represent me just kind of opening myself up and being more self-indulgent ( kyrie, coryn, kaeya, a couple of others ); still others are those i’m proud of for others taking interest in them and making me realize how much fun they are to rp and enjoy ( basically most of my genshin canons ).

@divitaclara​ asked: [ 1, 6, 8, 21 and 24, for any muse and from the Munday meme! ^^ ]

♡ Munday Meme ♡ | accepting!

since it’s you, i simply have to do zhongli since you’re the first one to do the muse-specific questions. xD

1. When did you start writing on Tumblr?

technically it was around 2011, but that was more...of a weird time. i don’t typically consider it in my proper rp "career” because i didn’t do promos or tags or care much about anything. so. i tend to say the end of 2012.

i made a blog for tmnt 2003 raphael on exsaitementandfistfights ( later cutting it down to exsaitement ), and...began rping. it wasn’t very fancy, my "icons” were bigger screenshots, but that was perfectly okay. i enjoyed it. i made friends, experienced my first exes, and began to improve myself as i did so.

this was an example of the psd progress i’d eventually gotten up to by the time i retired raph. i think this was...2016-ish? but his stories were done by that point, and i primarily only talked about him with a close friend on discord by that time.

6. OTP for your muse?

zhongluc, admittedly. i blame @sakuragnosis​. ironically, it was a piece of zhongluc fanart that made me briefly consider rping diluc, and now i rp both members of the ship. i really am booboo the fool.

7. NOTP for your muse?

i think the closest thing would be zhong/xiao, and not only because of the father/son dynamic that most people seem to imply. the power imbalance, the whole-hearted devotion on xiao’s side, and the fandom’s weird obsession with those things...yeah no i’m good my guy.

21. Are there certain characters that you gravitate towards?

i guess a type of mine are “dad” characters? father figures? it makes a certain amount of sense, considering even a crack rp character i had eventually had “father figure” as a trait, but then you realize that zhongli is only the latest and the others i’d had previously are more villainous or at least morally gray...

24. What about your muse are you most proud of?

zhongli is one of the few muses who has me actively googling and looking for resources made by people of a culture in order to get things right, or to at least give a more authentic portrayal of him. i’ve spent a good portion of time researching certain things for certain threads, and it’s been really fun!

@visionlcss​ asked: 🤗 — are there any rpc mutuals that you’d like to meet irl? 😀 — are there any rpc mutuals that you’ve met irl before?

munday asks! | accepting!

i’d love to meet @visionlcss​, @divitaclara​, @deathreign​, @qucintly​, @starsdeath​, and @electric-ecclectic​ in real life, that’s for sure! that’s definitely the easier question of the two to answer.

the harder one...

eh. well. i met four people who i was online friends with before. they would eventually become ex-friends. always after my visits with them, with one of them being shortly after and the others being a while after ( two of them a [[two kromer-for-one heartbreak deal]]! ). the reasons were always the same, though: they would turn extremely toxic towards me for various reasons, the root to “keep me in my place”, the symptoms different ways of doing so.

i’m not going to go over the details as to how for each and every single one of them publicly, especially since it’d require a lot of background, and, well, it’s been many years since these relationships fell apart. it’s not relevant to give details, just say the general fact that this happened to me several times.

i guess the reason i say this much publicly is that, despite all of that, i still give the same eager answer above. i trust these people. i’ve known a couple of them for years at this point, but even the more recent ones have sort of “proven” themselves in the fire and flames sort of way.

but yeah. despite the angst of it all, i do still want to meet the friends i have now in real life. call it optimism.

@divitaclara​ asked: [ 💭 ✈️ 🎮 💖 ]

munday asks! | accepting!

💭 — MBTI and/or enneagram, if known

that’s definitely varied throughout the years! i used to be INTJ and very proud of that fact, though I think I’ve become ESTJ as of late. i guess if you really want to scrutinize that, it might’ve been because i’ve had to learn not to rely so much on booksmarts and instead begin trusting my gut...and my friends’ guts, because i’m still never 100% sure about anything. haha.

✈️ — ever traveled anywhere interesting?

@the-lytenye-realms​ also asked this question! so i’ll also ping them here.

honestly, hawaii was my most interesting place to go, if only because i got to explore on my own there. my mom was working with someone there already, and my dad wanted to go help, and...they couldn’t just leave me alone, so i went with my dad. except my time was vacation.

it was a blast, really! i did a lot of walking, yeah, but it was amazing to have that time to be ~an adult~ ( this was, like, 6-7 years ago, so my early 20s ) and get to make my own decisions for the most part.

🎮 — favorite video game(s)?

you’d probably expect me to say like “five nights at freddy’s” or “bendy and the ink machine” because of my blog history, but no, not really. they’re more concepts that i like more than anything else, at least in hindsight. and even then, i ended up building my own storylines that i enjoy more than canon. smh.

my favorite games that i’ve actually put effort into completing would be splatoon, hades, cult of the lamb, don’t starve, oxygen not included...i’m very much a resource and roguelike sort of person, aren’t i? splatoon’s the only exception.

💖 — what was one of the greatest/happiest moments you’ve had in the rpc?

getting to play tabletop rpgs with @qucintly​ and @deathreign​ for a few campaigns! i’d wanted to be a dm for YEARS, and truthfully, it was usually outside circumstances that usually prevented them from reaching completion, but it was still very fun.

@sylvctica​ asked: 🔥 (thonky? i've got no specific topic, let ur vent go free to ur heart's content!)

Send me a “ 🔥 “ for an unpopular opinion. | accepting!

i hate feeling as if i’m in a transactional relationship when it comes to rp.

part of this is that i hate asking for things thanks to previous bad experiences. you’d be surprised at how often i’d asked for something in return after giving and giving and giving, only to be snubbed or even shooed aside.

another part is that, eventually, one side falls short. what then? and what if it’s your side that falls short?

yet another part is that, well, if you’re only receiving something because you asked for it...is it really something you received, or is it just something you coaxed out of someone?

i prefer the relationships between muses to flow naturally, even if it becomes inconvenient ( zhongli, i’m looking at you, snatching up people’s muses without a care in the world! ). if people are interested in my OCs on their own, that’s great, 100% fine, but i’m not going to force people into interacting with my OCs. same goes for certain canon muses.

...granted, that also won’t stop me from crying about my OCs or said certain canon muses on dash.

anyway, it’s part of the reason why i might seem very casual with regards to my replies, mentioning that my inbox is open, my IMs are open, etc.

[gnosticreign-a]

@visionlcss​ asked: Tell something you want others to know about you.

munday prompts | accepting!

honestly? i’m cringe. so fucking cringe. i have self-inserts that i primarily ship with canon characters. i project on my canon muses. i made kaeya a he/him lesbian for no other reason than because i thought he was a woman until he’d opened his mouth and spoke.

currently, i’m the only one in our little friend group who cares about TMNT, FNAF, or analog horror to the depths that i do. i laugh at myself and call my analog horror channel in our group server a bin.

i think learning to embrace one’s cringe allows you to just. relax. have fun! just know that the world doesn’t revolve around you, or me, or anyone else. we’re all in this blue hellsite together. sit down. have a drink. laugh. laugh about me. laugh about yourself. have a good time.

( this doesn’t excuse proshippers, inc/st, r/pe, etc., don’t even try it. )

⨳ — MUNDAY; | accepting  

food-wise, i enjoy chocolate and pizza! i even figured out a really good pizza from domino’s. alfredo sauce, extra cheese, chicken, sliced tomatos...make it a pan pizza, and it’s sooooo delicious. it’s absolutely oozing with cheesy taste.

writing-wise, i’d love to write coryn getting dunked on in a fight. yes, i know, making a self-insert and then proceeding to say “please beat this man up” is probably contradictory in some views, but i think it’s justifiable.

[gnosticreign-a]

@visionlcss​ asked: If you had to choose a new faceclaim for your muse, who would you pick?  (for uuuuuuh zhongli, diluc and pierro.)

⨳ — MUNDAY; | accepting

i guess for zhongli, i could use hades from olympos for his archon appearance if i didn’t want to use fanart. this was actually one of blight’s face claims when i was still in bendy and the ink machine...

for diluc, there’s not really many face claims that get his vibe that i have icons for, let alone that gorgeous red hair.

for pierro, if i’d wanted to rp him before he was revealed to be khaenri’an, i would’ve probably gone with cartaphilus and made him more light-hearted. otherwise, i’m quite satisfied with how pierro looks at this point.

( role-wise, cartaphilus could be very well-suited for a dottore-like role tho... )

[gnosticreign-a]

@divitaclara​ asked: [ What drew you to rping this character (Kaeya, Zhongli, and Diluc)? What’s something you like about how you write? What’s a trope or plot you love but you’ve never gotten to roleplay or never gotten to roleplay in completion? ]

Mun-Directed Questions About Roleplaying! | accepting!

2. What drew you to rping this character?

admittedly, when i first saw kaeya, i was basically taken away. i actually thought he was a woman until he opened his mouth, and i realized just how fuckin bad i had it for him. i actually made coryn for him, which was basically my first male self-insert some hom/est/uck back in 2012. yeah. cringe.

so, when i made the first iteration of rewovenfate, i only had itto present at first. it took me a bit of time and pacing around with myself before i decided to rp kaeya as i’d first seen him: as a woman. kaeya wasn’t my first he/him lesbian character by a long shot ( ironically, that honor goes to...foxy fnaf??? ), but i’m definitely glad that people haven’t immediately begun flinging hate at me because of my choices in portraying him like that.

but that wasn’t the only thing that drew me to rping kaeya. in fact, the real reason that i’d begun toying with him, along with diluc and later zhongli, was...because i kept writing drabbles with ships involving @sakuragnosis​‘s iterations of the muses ( coryn/kaeya, johanna/diluc, and my diluc/their zhongli respectively ), and their muses piqued.

technically i’d also had albedo as an npc in a tabletop campaign before, but it was short and definitely not near the amount of drabbles i’ve written for the others.

3. What’s something you like about how you write?

i always enjoy my dialogue! i’ll even sometimes reread some really good chunks of dialogue from my bendy and the ink machine days because they’re so good. absolute bangers.

54. What’s a trope or plot you love but you’ve never gotten to roleplay or never gotten to roleplay in completion? 

i’m crossing out that second half because hahahahahaha completion? i haven’t had that in a thread since 2014.

granted, this is also a complicated question because i love a lot of plots. i’ve played a lot of the plots i like. what do you say when you’ve essentially roleplayed it all?

maybe i should have an rp retirement for the ultimate slice of life au. /j

[gnosticreign-a]

@sylvctica​ asked: What advice would you give to new RPers? What advice would you give to veteran RPers?

munday prompts | accepting!

for new roleplayers, i’d encourage lurking around in the rpc as a whole, even if you’re not a very open blog. just as sort of taking in the temperature, getting familiar with expectations, things like that. there’s a lot of blogs dedicating to helping out the rpc as well, just so that way you’re not stumbling in blindly.

however, do note that this isn’t saying you have to use fancy graphics and whatnot. that can come later. actually, that’s another point of advice: don’t expect your first rp blog to be 100% perfect and great and wonderful. my first blog looked like crap and was organized like crap.

for veteran roleplayers...i guess just don’t let it get to your head. “fandom mom” types tend to have a lot of skeletons in their closets, and if you find yourself burying your past to present a certain image to younger folks...it’s going to just bite you in the ass sooner or later.

just be honest about the things you used to do, tag your shit, and don’t be weird to minors in rp. okay? okay.

[gnosticreign-a]

@divitaclara​ asked: [ Do you make your own graphics? Who’s your least favorite character from your muse’s source? Talk about your most positive RP experience ]

munday prompts | accepting!  

i make my own graphics about...30% of the time? maybe more, maybe less, it depends on how i feel. actually, the blog itself uses a psd template i made for icons, and most of my geo muses use the coloring i made myself. if i find i can’t make coloring look good, i’ll just make one of my own.

least favorite character is very hard to pick. teucer’s one of them, though, unfortunately.

another positive rp experience has to be when @sakuragnosis​ took interest in coryn, and we’d been throwing ships and muses at each other ever since.

[gnosticreign-a]

@the-lytenye-realms​ asked: Talk about your most positive RP experience

munday prompts | accepting!

i have a handful of positive experiences, some even within this community ( despite the mess that happened within it, smh ).

i guess to make it a recent one, i’ll say bullying @visionlcss​ into making shizuko a proper muse ( and later a blog ) is one of my peaks in this community. nevvy’s been getting into making their own graphics, and i’m really proud of them, but also i love shizuko a lot as a character.

( go love on nevvy. this is a threat. )

[gnosticreign-a]

@visionlcss​ asked: 🔥 unpopular opinion!

Send me a “ 🔥 “ for an unpopular opinion. | accepting!  

i think villain aus are neat, but i also think most people equate “villain au” to...”yandere”, “stalker”, etc., when that’s not really what i mean at all. there’s some characters in genshin who are heroic but have an entire toolkit for them to use if they ever turn out to be a bad apple.

take diluc, for example. the uncrowned king of mondstadt. the last of the ragnvindr clan. owner of dawn winery. he might not have a lot of political power on the surface, but he also owns angel’s share, which allows him to get in contact with a lot of the knights of favonius as seen in some quests.

he even has an alter ego that he can use to prevent the knights of favonius from chasing him down. considering that diluc himself being a suspect is bad optics, he can easily just use the darknight hero to do any dirty business, while maintaining his image.

hell, a villainous diluc would likely be partaking in shadier actions for a side of “good” that is detrimental to the knights of mond. it’s a complex morality play at its core, one where you could easily sympathize with diluc despite his actions.

all he needs is a motive.

things like that is kind of why i linger on @shredderslain​‘s past incarnations too, because going through the steps of a hero’s fall is so interesting.
