MY NEW RP PHILOSOPHY

"You only write ships”

👏  who cares?

“You only write with X person/people”

👏  who cares?

“You don’t respond quickly”

👏  who cares?

“You run on a queue”

👏 who cares?

“You’re mutuals-only”

👏  who cares?

“You write a character I personally do not like”

👏  who cares?

“You write a character in a way I do not agree with”

👏  who cares?

“You have a ship I consider problematic”

👏  who cares?

“You have bad grammar”

👏  who cares?

“You only care about graphics”

👏 who cares?

That’s it: that’s my new RP philosophy. Maybe it’s just the sheer amount of time I’ve been RPing, but I’ve just gotten to the point where I do not care. I just don’t. Do you. Do what you want. Write what you love. Write with who you want to write with. Write the character the way you see fit. Use your fave FC even if someone calls them “overused.” Who. The Hell. Cares. Was it Dr Seuss who said “those who mind don’t matter”?

OUT. || Anyway who’s still on this blog who would give me plots for the boys bc now they’re like “hey remember the tens of thousands of words of world building you’ve done for us? can we, I dunno... exist?”

[gemineycs]

OUT. || I’m about two months away from the twins’ two year anniversary, what the heck??? 

Also, my boys just reached 100 followers. They are without a doubt my slowest-growing muse which I’m 1000% ok with, but it also baffles me. I need to advertise them ( and write on them ) a whole lot more, don’t I?

ELLIE’S REBOOT ! ELLIE’S REBOOT !

OUT. || Ok!!! So I definitely neglected Kol for... way too long. But the issue is that when I come on here, I feel like I can’t really get anything rolling again! Whether that’s because I’m being inconsistent ( which I totally am ) or just coming on at the wrong time ( also possible! ), when I’m on, I am struggling. 

So, what’s the plan, stan?

I’m going to reboot! But.... I’m not moving blogs. That would be way too much work. Instead, I’m going to give myself until THIS WEEKEND, posting this a few times in order to make a buffer in my posts, and then, it’s going to be brand new!!!

No threads are moving over, and I am going to EMPTY my inbox, which is hovering around 600 messages. I just need to start new. I might even..... redo my tags? Just brand new????

So on Friday, I’ll be back!!! And I would LOVE to restart and be fresh and EXCITING and fun!!! I miss my boy and just need to turn a fresh page, I think!!

OUT. || If you’re ever interested in using my lore for a crossover with me, and actually want to put your muse into this universe? I mean??? I would? Cry? 

[gemineycs]

OUT. || The boys have been loud in my head, btw. Should probably.... should probably do something about that, huh? 

[gemineycs]

OUT. || I just got paid for the first time in like two months after finally starting a new job! And there are Labor Day sales going on.... and my fave sticker shop on etsy was having a pretty good sale. 

New stickers!

OUT. || Tumblr, I don’t really understand something. Maybe you can help me out. On tumblr, pretty much everything is a big deal. Every social implication is looked at when it comes to casting, what celebrities say on social media, marketing, etc etc etc. In RP, it’s the same. We are called to be conscious consumers, and I think that’s an important lesson! Do I think there are aspects that tumblr policing can exacerbate? Yes, I do. But being a conscious consumer is very important. 

What I don’t understand, however, is this: on tumblr, where everything is looked at with a magnifying glass... why is pretty much nothing the CW does regarding casting looked at? I’m about to roast my own muse’s universe for a second. But in the TVD/TO/Legacies RPC, I see:

characters who are in canon TEENAGERS, minors, being played by adults who are sometimes a decade or more older than their canon characters

these characters sometimes are RPed in graphic situations, despite the character themselves meant to be minors

characters who are PHYSICAL minors ( for example, vampires ) also having a free pass to be graphic/sexual??? Characters like Caroline, Rebekah, Kol: these characters are ETERNALLY, physically, minors. Rebekah is sixteen, for goodness’ sake. 

the Kaylee Bryant thing. This is an actress who is of Japanese descent who was cast to be the fraternal twin to a Swiss actress and, whose character on the show, is born of two white parents. And no one seems to care??? 

Speaking of, Jenny Boyd is 28, going to be 29 in February. Aren’t the twins like 16 or something? They might be older, but they definitely aren’t 28.

Don’t get me wrong: there are a lot of things that the actors and actresses in this universe have done really well. And they were hired, so I’m not about to send them hate or anything. But in the RPC? Where we have the power to change FCs when they don’t work??? I don’t get why it’s still a thing to look at these full-on adults and be like “yeah, they’re teenagers! in plots and narratives that would have worked a lot better if they were adults!” 

Also, I’m forever going to be bitter about how stupidly easy it was on TVD for teens to get alcohol. Or the fact that there was a high schooler who was a bartender. Suck an egg, TVD.

OUT. || Wait wait wait wait I’m dying is Ian Somerhalder in another vampire show? Whomst the hell thought that was a good idea

[kolhearted-archived]

OUT. || I’m here with happy tears in my eyes because I see that Lia / @seesgood is bringing back C&C which is truly what cemented our love affair and I am so happy and proud to see things come full circle. 

[kolhearted-archived]

OUT. || I’m making a promise to myself and to my dash: I’m going to be up and at ‘em before my blogaversary. I’ve been on my blogs, but like??? I haven’t been DOING a lot. So you guys really haven’t been missing a lot. Mostly just me shitposting. But I miss Kol, and believe it or not, I still call him my main blog and alpha muse. I miss him. 

[gemineycs]

OUT. || When I finish this meta, you’re all done for. Not because it’s a particularly good meta, but just because then I’ll be focusing on doing things IC!
