HEY GUYS.

With artfight around the corner, here's a reminder:

ARTFIGHT IS FOR FUN.

Don't feel pressured to make a ton of attacks or revenges or whatever. Nobody can pressure you into drawing what you don't wanna.

If you can't draw everything you want too THATS OKAY!! ITS JUST FOR FUN!! If you want too, you can still draw characters and stuff after the fight as Gift art! Most people still would love to see/receive anything of their beans!

If you feel yourself getting stressed or burnt out: TAKE A BREAK!!! Again: It's for fun and should not cause your strife! We'll all still be here all month. Draw what you wanna draw! And draw only the amount you want too!!

Take your time buddy, remember to pace yourself. There's no rush.

Every. Single. Thing. You. Make. Is. Excellent! We are so happy and honored you picked Our little gremlins to doodle and don't let anyone tell you that your art is "Not good enough." Or "Low quality", Etc. That's super rude and totally a lie. Every art of every kind is a gift because you spent time on it to draw/Make it.

HYDRATE AND EAT YOU FOOLS YOUR BODY NEEDS SUBSTANANCE

Also, on that same note: GO TO BED AT A DECENT TIME YOU INSOMNICS I KNOW YOU WANNA DRAW TILL THE BREAK OF DAWN BUT SWEETHEART YOU NEED YOUR REST!!! IF NOT FOR YOU, DO IT FOR ME & YOUR CHARACTERS PLEASE

We love you artists! please take care of yourselves this Artfight!!!

~ Pinky 💖

OOC PSA

Not using the // for this.

I want to address the pokemon leaks that have happened in the past few days.

First off, please stop treating these unreleased/cut content as canon. They were cut for some reason or another. They are not canon. They are from games that came out over 10 years ago. You can put that into your fanon all you want. But it is not canon.

On that note, the stories aren't canon as well. They shouldn't be treated like they are canon.

Finally we all should remember these leaks came from malicious intent. Thousands of workers got their information leaked. And the hacker behind this is not a good person. While it's all nice to get information about the games which we wouldn't have gotten otherwise. It's horrible it had to come at the cost of hurting so many people and doxxing them.

OOC PSA: PLEASE READ PEOPLE'S PINNED POSTS

Hi there, it's me, BackSet, your favorite gender-fluid sorta lesbian with too many characters. I come to you today with a message: please read people's pinned posts. Like, for real, this is super important. Not only is it polite and serves as an introduction to the character you're interacting with, it's also essential for a safe and healthy rp environment.

While this isn't always the case, pinned posts will often include vital information about not just the character, but the person playing them as well. This can include their personal rules for their blog, whether they're okay with suggestive or nsfw content, whether they're a minor or an adult, and other information that should be taken into account while Roleplaying. And it's not just about respecting the other person's boundaries (though that is super important), this goes both ways. Reading someone's pinned post can help you figure out if you want to interact with them. Oftentimes pinned posts will include a list of potentially triggering subjects that might crop up in rp with them.

So please read people's pinned posts. It'll only take a minute and it could save everyone a lot of hardship down the line. Thank you for reading.

hello, gamers ! i have officially moved blogs. the queue is still running here so i'm going to up the daily limit. if you'd like to carry threads, i will move them over to the new blog on request. normally i don't like posts like this, but considering i have a lot of ghost followers here : please like this post if you'd like me to follow you from the new blog, as i will not be giving it out publicly. please don't like this post if you're not going to engage with my posts, plot with me, etc. thank you, mocha ! xx

hello it is i, your local tumblrarian, here to drink tea from her pumpkin mug and tell u the following important announcement: being on tumblr every single day is possibly not a great idea. let's use a metaphor here. it's like squeezing a lemon every day, but it's only got so much juice, you'll only end up getting frustrated and upset that the juice is no longer flowing. and then it's building up this habit of squeezing lemons every day, but then one day you're not around and you're worried, because what if the lemon had juice today? what if we missed the juicing opportunity?

but now let's sprinkle in the following notion: every once in a while, we step outside of the lemon juicer, and we go to the market to buy more lemons. the next day, we wake up, we go back to the juicer, and what do you know! the juice is flowing again!

gonna step back from the metaphor here to just explain a few things. we have all been in the situation of staring wretchedly at the computer screen, begging for a drop of inspiration. most of us are online each and every day. and that's okay! i'm the same! but maybe we need to refresh the cycle here, because i took a day to myself today, i consciously refused to go online until 6PM, and even that 24 hour break was enough to get some very exciting ideas going! and tomorrow i'll be writing more than i have in weeks!

we put too much pressure on ourselves to be here 24/7, and it's time that we just knocked that out and started treating writing as what it always was: a hobby. so go take a break. go out for a walk, go get lunch in a nice cafe, step away from the computer and just let yourself do something that isn't absorbed in writing or in your education/career.

[wolfpackmuses]

I'm making this sort and sweet:

I am doing a cleanout of my mutuals/following list. If you are currently a mutual and would like to remain a mutual, please like this post so I do not remove you.

I will periodically be reblogging this post over the coming days just so everyone, hopefully, who is a mutual with me has the opportunity to see it and consider if they would like to remain mutuals or not. This does not mean I wouldn't like to become mutuals again in the future. However, I know there are people out there who may not be as interested in interacting with me at the moment.

With that said, if you yourself decide you no longer wish to be mutuals, that is absolutely fine, and feel free to softblock me. If anyone ever wants to become mutuals again, just let me know and I will be happy to consider it.

If there are any questions, please let me know. Thanks y'all!

// friendly PSA that Dan does not have to be redeemed or reformed!

He can just be...an evil bastard and stay that way.

I do enjoy the redeemed villain trope but honestly I don't see that for Dan. At least for mine!

[ Everyone, this is the art! I commissioned a piece from @s-talking for Harmony’s HSR!AU.

They did an extraordinary job! The outfit, her updated cybernetics, all of it designed by Envy-mun! They went above my expectations and I am so happy with how this turned out!

This will be in Harmony’s HSR!AU info post. I just want to dedicate a separate post to this because my friend’s work deserves the spotlight!]

[xluciifer]

Alright, a little PSA but... I think it's finally time.

I think I'm going to go on a semi-haitus. I think that's what it's considered?

It took a while to ponder over and consider, but given my depression, my child's many appointments, therapists and soon to add on speech therapy, dealing with my ex still and struggling financially, I just... can't mentally find the time or motivation to be here and roleplay. Hell... I haven't even had the time to talk to any of my friends on discord either.

It makes me feel incredibly guilty because I enjoy writing and interacting with everyone here as a whole. But I just can't mentally keep up with it anymore. I'll try harder to interact and talk with friends on discord because I really do need those interactions because I don't have friends here where I live and I don't know anyone but family.

But it's been a long time coming and I just can't balance and maintain both worlds anymore. Hopefully soon I can come back, but for now, all of my blogs will be low on activity until I can get to a better spot mentally for myself.

I'm really sorry its come to this, again your King loves everyone here so much and I hope that's understandable... if you'd like to talk on discord, feel free to DM me.

This isn't a goodbye, but a thank you. Thank you for sticking by me since January or passed, thank you for welcoming me and roleplaying with me and thank you for liking my writing and my portrayal of my characters. I hope to come back in maybe a month's time or so, I'm not exactly sure on time frame. I'll still be here occasionally, but I don't know about writing.

Again, thank you, I love you, and I hope this is understandable.

Yours Truly, Luci, The King of Hell. ❤️👑

[soulrph]

this is a loving reminder that just because your character is set in a specific universe, doesn't mean they have to stay there. likewise, other people's muses might be originally based in a particular world, but that absolutely doesn't mean that they want to keep them in that world. the wonderful part of the rpc is that we actually don't need to take things so seriously! what does it matter if ted lasso woke up in the same universe as tony stark? does it really make any massive issue for us to put shrek and kaz brekker into the same thread? not at all! go wild! don't let the fictional boundaries of fictional franchises stop you from having fun! the purpose of the rpc is to have a good time with one another: we don't need to have a fully fleshed out reason for these characters to interact! we can just throw them together and see what happens! so go forth, have tons of fun, and don't let logic stand in the way of anything on this dash!

[fledermoved]

Y'all GOTTA stop making your trigger tags complicated, guys.

If someone doesn't want to see certain media, they should have the ability to block it out. When you make the tag a complex quote or put parentheses and spaces around it, it makes it difficult to filter it out. #trigger tw or #trigger cw is fine and works.

I am literally BEGGING y'all to be more mindful of the way you tag your posts. Literally just that.

[apothecary-khyron]

In the past months, I have seen so many artists and writers be driven from this community because they don't conform to the whims of the loathed yet loud demographic of the Warhammer community.

If you're one of the people who have harassed and sent death threats to artists, writers, and other community creators; Fash raus!

Your behavior isn't welcome. Your "apoliticalness" isn't welcome. Your treatment others who aren't like you isn't welcome. You and your friends are not welcome and you never will be.

I truly believe, should you be capable of change, that you take the time to reflect on not just your actions but your worldview that led to them and ask what good such hatred and vitriol does for your fellow human beings on and offline.

Should you actually have even a semblance of proper humanity within you, find it in yourself to apologize to those you've harmed and attempt to make amends. Simultaneously, be aware that you are not entitled to their forgiveness nor that of others for the harm that you've done to them.

[heckcduparchived]

cool cool cool so that was easier than I thought though it did take most of the night. This blog is officially being archived as of this moment and I am logging out of here shortly If you would like to follow me on my new blog its @heckcdup same as this one was just more clean so please go head and find me there :)

I am gonna put the link to the new blog in my pinned post, follow some other blogs and maybe try and write some things over there and then im done for the night

ALSO IF WE HAVE ACTIVE THREADS RIGHT NOW AND YOU WANT TO CONTINUE THEM BY ALL MEANS PLEASE DO IN A NEW POST TAGGING MY NEW BLOG! Thank you :) I don't think I have any drafts right now so its all up to you my friends.

[soulprompts]

this is a gentle and loving reminder that when people go on a softblocking spree or a hardblocking spree, it's very rarely something that you've done that led to that. the fact is, most people have school and work to attend to, and juggling hundreds of mutuals as well as work, social life, education and families isn't even on the same LEVEL as easy.

if you've been softblocked by someone during a spring clean, it's really so likely that it's because that person is feeling super overwhelmed at the minute, they probably felt that they weren't being "a good writing partner" to their pre-existing mutuals, and so soft blocking a number of people came to be the best option. there's something so frightening about dealing with a full time job, juggling family problems, coming back to unwind on tumblr and then facing a pile of drafts and a bigger pile of prompts in the inbox.

please, please, PLEASE don't feel like you're a bad person for being soft blocked.

similarly, don't EVER feel like you're a bad person for softblocking people.

times are tough. stress levels have never been as high before. we're all just doing our best, and if we're expected to be stressed and anxious and overwhelmed doing our hobbies, then we really ought to do something about that.

chin up! i love you all, i'm proud of you all, be safe, be good, soft block if you need to, and go drink some water.

I HATE HAVING TO DO THIS BUT I HAVE HAD TO ADD TO MY RULES PAGE AGAIN

The added rule is this:

If Valentino is going to be doing anything abusive or cruel to your muse, you need to clear it with me, first. Please do not drag my muse into episode 4/Poison without talking to me first. You do not get to play my muse, I get to play my muse, and you may not know how MY Val's abuse works.

LIKE THIS POST TO SHOW YOU HAVE READ THE RULE. I will keep this in mind.

I am so fed up with being treated like an abuse mill for people because I play Valentino. Val is not a one-note monster on this blog.

VALENTINO IS NOT A ONE-NOTE MONSTER ON THIS BLOG. Period. EVER.
