reminder that it’s okay to like certain media even if the creator is problematic or not the greatest human, or even if you just don’t like them. it’s okay to separate media from source. from show or movie creator, authors or artist. you are allowed to like what you like. whatever brings you comfort & joy. do not be discouraged by your interests even when someone else doesn’t agree with or like them as well. also remember that you can separate actor from character, don’t feel bad liking a character even with the actor is garbage. i myself love some characters where i later found the actor is absolute garbage but i still love the character. the character is not the actor. the media is not the creator.

Its fair to say that the DC fandom is a pretty divided space between those who care about canon and those who don’t and I usually veer closer to the canon-caring side but every now and then I venture over to see what those fanon madlads are up to and I have to confess to being, at the very least, deeply entertained every single time

Below the cut is info regarding some real life situations & some potential changes in activity. Please make sure you read over it . Put under a cut due to it being a long post.

So , I don't really wanna get into it too much right this second ... but I wanna make sure everyone knows the reason for why my activity might be EXTREMLY SELECTIVE & POSSIBLY SPORADIC .

Some stuff has gone down with our housing situation , & the timetable we thought we would have , just got a lot smaller & things have gotten WAY MORE STRESSFUL FOR EVERYONE HERE THAN THEY NEED TO BE . A lot of things are up in the air right now , & won't likely know more until Monday at the earliest. Going from one month to ... who knows what's going to happen has me very stressed out , & just really fighting to keep my wits about me ,

I won't be closing any of my blogs , but they will all be going to SPORADIC ACTIVITY , with the exception of this one & my Jason Todd blog . I will still be using them , & writing on them ... I just can't devote the time to them while this is going on. ( Anya being the exception because they are a comfort character for me. ) Once we have a plan , & things are figured out ... I'll start bringing them back as I can.

This may also mean that I may be doing a purge of threads to keep my reply load down . I am not gonna stop writing in this time , as it's my stress relief , but I need to make sure I don't get overwhelmed through this process.

Hopefully this will only be for a short time , as I hate having to put these out anyways , but we gotta roll with what the world gives us . I PROMISE , NONE OF MY BLOGS ARE GOING ANYWHERE . I just need to prioritize some other very pressing things too.

BECAUSE OF MY CUT IN MY FREETIME , I'M ALSO GOING TO BE REQUIRING PLOTTING OF SOME KIND IN ORDER TO WRITE WITH ANY OF MY BLOGS , INCLUDING THIS ONE.

UPDATE ON THREADS.

now that i'm caught up with my drafts on here , and have posted my new starter call ... i'm gonna make some small changes surrounding the way i get my threads. up until this point , i have primarily used asks for getting things rolling , and while those are fun for a bit ... i really wanna do more in depth plotting with my writing partners. i want threads that are more than just two people talking. i want some in depth story happening that will take anya further in her story that's still evolving.

so , going forward i will be focusing more on plotting calls , and plotted out threads. I WILL STILL BE DOING ASKS. so if you still would rather do asks , those are totally allowed. i will still be posting memes ... just not as often as i used to.

when liking my plotting calls ... PLEASE HAVE IDEAS AS WELL. i will come to you with my own ideas for plotting when i have one , so please be willing to do the same. even if it's just dynamic ideas that you would like to explore ... it's a place to start off on. we can absolutely build from there and come up with something together. the point is teamwork in coming up with a story that we BOTH want to tell.

thank you again so so much for all the patience while i've been getting back into the writing groove , through all the changes on the blog , and of course loving my murder baby with me. i want to continue writing with each and every one of you and your blorbos , i just need a shift in the content i'm writing , so my muse doesn't become stagnant.

People have different interests and abilities when it comes to writing (and reading). Some people prefer one-liners. Some prefer novella. Some prefer in-between. None of these are the gold standard of RP. Write as much or as little as you want, but don't shame those on either end of the spectrum — chill your pants.

A POST ABOUT STEFAN’S FACECLAIM’S !!

as most of you know i’ve changed stefan’s faceclaim and have went back and forth between a few for a while now. there’s a certain vision i’ve had when it comes to my stefan ever since i incorporated the books and made him from italy instead of mystic falls. l.orenzo z.urzolo was my main faceclaim for stefan for years now, he is genuinely who i envision when i think about my stefan. however, i’ve recently gone back to using paul as stefan’s main faceclaim because lorenzo lacks in resources, unfortunately there’s only one show of his i have screencaps of and all the gif sets of him i’ve reblogged a lot lol. so, now he’s back to being paul as that’s the easiest and most sensible option. duh, since he’s literally stefan in the show. i’ve thought about other actors but nobody has given me the vibe or the same ‘umph’ that lorenzo does. who knows, maybe i’ll go back to him or find someone who satisfies me enough. but until then, paul is the main. of course, i’m still open to using lorenzo for those of you who prefer him.

NOW , ONTO HIS ALT. A.LEX F.ITZALAN.

of course, i’ve thought about using alex as his main, since he’s my only alt that i’ve stuck with. however, i have alex for certain verses because that’s how i see stefan in these certain universes or worlds. alex is who i envision as stefan if he were a normal human or a normal teenager who got to actually live as an eighteen - twenty something year old. alex is his faceclaim for when i have him as a human, or a real young adult.

these verses include : legacies ( was placed in the wrong body ) , the summer i turned pretty , the hunger games, yellowjackets, and chilling adventures of sabrina.

and some verses i still imagine him as lorenzo ( but kind of paul too ) : a court of thorns and roses , star wars, fallout & fourth wing. these ones i’ve been testing using paul, but there’s a part of me that says to use lorenzo for these again, it’s kind of like what i said with alex but looking / being older than the verses i have him as alex but younger than the main ones with paul. basically it’s alex for late teens early twenties, lorenzo for middle twenties and paul for main tvdu stefan. anyway, that’s all for now. thank you guys for sticking by me and my terrible indecisiveness when it comes to how i envision my stefan.

i'm gonna go ahead and put out a main / affiliate call. i don't do these often , but sometimes i like to refresh the list , and with a new blog it just seems like the right time to do so. i will be a little picky about these slots , as i'm starting to focus more on anya's lore and cementing things. certain muses i'll be more strict on making a main or affiliate , but i'm mainly looking for the chemistry between both muns and muses for this one.

FOR MAINS.

will be accepting up to 3 of each canon muses.

will be accepting up to 4 original muses.

requires plotting between us for our muses , but not required to have threads if some are planned.

mains are going to be people i go to first for things like specific plot ideas i have , will be included in some of the edits i make on the blog , will get priority on replies and queues , and will be first priority when liking starter calls and plotting calls.

FOR AFFILIATES.

will be accepting up to 2 of each canon muses.

will be accepting up to 3 original muses.

requires extensive plotting between the two of us for our muses. this is judged on an individual basis , as these are muses that will be referred to in canon.

much like what you would get with mains , affiliates will also get unprompted starters from me when the muse strikes me , will make guest appearances in much of the edits pertaining to anya's canon , as well as be featured in passing in threads where it's allowed. these are people that have really helped shape anya's character ... so i'm going to be pretty picky about them.

if you are interested in either of these , feel free to hit the like button. if you already have a spot , but wanna let me know you wanna stay on the list , or wanna edit things , you can also give this a like. i'll be reblogging this for about a week , and then i'll be making the choices and additions to the pinned post and carrd.

When I was younger, I watched Youtube more than I should. Even now, I still have screen time problems. I was a spoiled little girl too. Even though my friends don’t see me as one, I see myself as a spoiled brat. I got what I wanted. When I grew older, coming to around Middle School age, I realized how spoiled I truly was. I realized I needed to be tougher. I realized I needed to be more empathetic. Soon, I wanted to escape. I tried and tried to. Even now, I still try.

Now, I see these TODDLERS with iPads everywhere. I don’t envy these kids. I cry for these kids. I’m usually called an old soul in a kid’s body. And I think that’s accurate. I miss older times when I was able to spend a day without a screen for entertainment. I miss older times when I could enter a restaurant or any other public area without seeing kids glued to their screens.

As I live with my brother instead of my parents, I see how he and his wife raise their children. Their first 2-3 years lacked a screen. Even my brother and his spouse used their technology way lesser than they did. They only used technology when required. When I moved in, my niece and nephew were 4 and 6. At their age, they play with their toys rather than looking at a screen. My first ever conversation with my brother and his wife was about not using my screens around their children. And I agreed. I found it very weird, but a week later I realized they wanted to reduce influence on their children. Their children don’t even have their own screens. They don’t have iPads, iPhones, Nintendo Switches, etc., etc. Their favorite activity by themselves is playing with my childhood toys that I brought from me hoarding all of my childhood stuff. They even call them by the names I gave each toy. Their favorite activity with their father is star gazing. Their favorite activity with their mother is playing tennis. They love playing with me and their toys. They love doing math and sorting with their uncle’s papers. Is this child labor? I personally don’t think so because my younger older brother gives them work that he did a year ago. Their favorite family activity is going on bikes and riding to the park.

That was a lot, but I think it’s kind of a good way to prove my point in this post. Parents shouldn’t let screens raise their children. Parents should raise their children. I now do babysitting on the side, and some of the families I work for have their kids watching their screens all the time. When I come over, I see the kids on their iPads, watching sexual content that is aimed at kids. I think I saw a raunchy animation of TADC on their screens. I promptly took it out of the kids’ hands and told the parents. They were shocked, and I told them to buy children’s toys instead. These parents aren’t close to me as a friend is to me, but they know me fairly well to know that I was exposed to the same kind of content when I was younger. They agreed reluctantly. They did not follow up with my suggestion. To this day, they still see that kind of stuff. That is terrible.

Kids should be kids. Like I said earlier, I’m a part-time babysitter. I see families whose kids are allowed to run rampant with technology. My mom recebtly retired from teaching, and she tells the family how disrespectful kids are. I have a friend who is a teacher. She told me how her students can’t spell at all. They can’t sound out words by themselves. They can’t even finish an on-level book. The worst part is: she’s a middle school teacher. Other teachers share this sentiment too.

Kids should be raised without screens until they are mature enough to have them. Trust me. I know. I was a victim to this. When they grow up, they’ll have a lot of health problems.

UPDATE TIMES.

// So, this blog's cast is officially moving!

All of my OCs will be moved over to @mixed-up-multiverse, and the interest checker there will be completely revamped to include them. All threads with them will be moved as well, and the list of OCs I have will be linked there somewhere along with the list of canons.

I ALSO WISH TO NOTE: Nixie (my TADC OC) has now been retired as a character because I don't think I'm able to write her at this time. Will she come back at all? Eh, maybe later. Who knows.

BUT IF YOU HAVE A THREAD OVER HERE WITH ME; Let me know in DMs or in the replies of this. I want to make sure there is no one that I forget!

Hello Friends!! Wanted to let everyone know of some updates!

I have created a Mobile Friendly Muselist! I realize the fancy one looks like GARBAGE on mobile, sorry about that!!

I have added an Important Note to my rules! Specifically rule 3. I will put a screenshot of it below! It's a further explination on ships, shipping, and my general indifference on the issue. If that is something you are not comofortable with, entirely understandable! I wanted to be clearer on my thoughs is all.

(Note, this does not mean I suddenly ship certain things, just my thoughts on them existing in the first place, if that makes sense)

Screenshot below.

do transandrophobes think visible trans men can just say "actually I'm a man" whenever we experience misogyny/transphobia?

"male privilege" my ass. oppressors don't give a shit what labels we use for ourselves. they treat us based on whatever label they give us, and when we're talking about transphobia, that label is "victim of female hysteria", or "woman" if we're lucky.

I wish that when a poc tells a white person that something is or isn't racist, that they would listen or at least just stop and think. White-knighting and speaking over a poc doesn't help. Stand with and support people of color, don't speak over or speak for people of color.
