how were you introduced to TOA? im an avid skimmer of the tellius tag on tumblr and saw toa crop up a few times in the past but the concept of fodlan as a setting fundamentally scared me for a good while because it was the only fe game i wasnt even remotely familiar with. then one winter holiday in 2022 i saw neffis leonardo crop up in the tag and i was like lmfao it would be fucking hilarious if i started writing edward again right and then i blacked out for the next 12 hours and suddenly im here.

what non-fire emblem games do you play? currently it's mostly warframe, elden ring and arknights with some enstars on the side HAHA maybe xiv'll suck me back in soon < his ass still hasnt played dawntrail

favorite pokemon type & pokemon: favorite type is ghost, but the charcadet line has RICOCHETED to the top of my favorite pokemon list over spiritombs throne LMFAO

tell us some funfacts and trivia about yourself! i once wrote a poem based off of haurchefant greystone of ffxiv fame for korean school because i could not fucking think of anything else and i won a fucking award (minor) for a competition i didnt even know i was getting myself into????

i also inject frogs into any art assignments that i really dont want to do so i find the motivation to do them lmfao

how did you get into fire emblem? smash bros brawl baybey. i watched my friend play awakening for a bit but i only owned a wii (region locked. american. we were in europe) so i crawled to my dad all sopping wet and pathetic to ask if he could pretty please buy me por while he was on a business trip to i think LA. he brought back rd instead.

what fire emblem games have you played? hilariously exactly the same amount as last time (sorry) (gba, tellius, 3ds, engage)

first & favorite fire emblem games: radiant dawn all the way babyyyy

list your 5 favorite fire emblem characters across the series! chad leonardo edward limstella micaiah. yep

who was the first character ever to make you go “ooh I like this one in particular” and why? can be any context and reason! leonardo showed his pretty face on the screen when i was 14 and it was over for me

any fire emblem crushes? 😳leonardo showed his pretty face on the screen when i was 14 and it was over for me.

jokes aside im not sure i do crushes but if we're talking about current i think pandreo applies

if you’ve played (or are familiar with) the following games, who was your first s support? who would you s support nowadays? - awakening: stahl or miriel - fates: hinata... or beruka - three houses: jeritza probably i am going to be so real - engage: pandreo.

favorite fire emblem class? are thieves meant to be a gimmick/utility class. yes. do i care? BOY OH BOY. rogue my beloved... (also i inevitably end up doting on at least one archer and anima mage)

if you were a fire emblem character, what would be your class and stats? would you be playable? weirdly magic-heavy thief i think. playable only if he likes your vibes. probably have to recruit him like cath. i'm not even that good i'm best used for meteor/bolting/bersesrk etc bait

if you were a three houses character, what would be your affiliation? golden deer!

if you were an officers academy student, what would be your boons, banes and potential budding talent? boon in faith+axe, bane in riding+heavy armor, hidden talent in authority. no it does not mean i want to be in charge. but alas im reasonably good at it.

if you were an engage character, which nation would you originate from? i thought on elusia for a while but honestly i think its firene for me. i will never say no to citrus.

how do you pronounce TOA? 🤔toe-ah...

current TOA muses: edward, chad, denning

past TOA muses? its just been these three so far baybey

who was your first TOA muse? if you no longer have them, can you see yourself picking them up again? [gripping edward really hard as i hold him out towards the camera] this boy has lived in my brain rent fucking free for 11 years he is a vital part of my deciding whether i get fries with my burger order atp

do you believe you have a type of character you gravitate towards writing? reiterating this from the last time i filled this out: little guys and pensive freaks. i also fundamentally like characters who experience internal conflict of interests between their morality and their loyalty/duty/other social trappings. its tasty!

do you have characters or types of characters you don’t think you can handle writing, but wish you could? i love digging deep into lore and piecing it together even if its not immediately evident and a bit fragmented (its the soulsborne enjoyer in me). BUT if i need to do this for a main or major character with a bajillion dialogue and context clues strewn across three playthroughs of a game and i could easily overlook things i would be a little too scared of getting soemthing wrong. "oh x loves orange juice" "WRONG x said as a one off in the middle of this heavy story segment that he hates orange juice and prefers strawberry milk actually" i would fucking die. i would die

what kind of scenes, situations etc do you believe you enjoy writing the most? UNRELIABLE NARRATION. shit you look at and go "hm that aint whats going on rn at all". love that shit. i try to not overuse it but i love when it becomes more evident midway through a scene. good stuff. i also love writing impulsive stupid responses and vividly descriptive scenes, but also i love writing affection and devotion in general, even if exceptionally gooey and cavity-inducing, even if ill-advised and misplaced. there's so much more i can add here but i love writing i love writing with people i love writing with y'all. love and peace.

and violence. i used to be scared of fight scenes but now i love thinking in those milliseconds between the violence. flurries and slurries of blood. can i rip more shit apart pretty please

do you have any scenario in mind for your muse(s) that gets you thinking “man i hope i get to write this one day”? [stuffs my fist in my mouth and screams]

incredibly loosely speaking. i want edward to realise he's been a bit fucked up actually and have to sit in that thought instead of shrugging past it as usual. i want chad to sit with someone and just connect with them so they don't feel as alone (yes this has happened i just love when this happens). i want denning to forcibly feel an emotion, and whether they get better or worse from it might depend entirely on their company.

favorite TOA-related memories? sorry that i keep bringing up edwards 37.5 damage astra during the final fight of apollyon ouranos i just can't stop thinking about it. that's so much fucking damage. that said i loved banding together against the impossible and FUCKING WINNING

present or past tense? uhhh present < just had to go back to check

normal size text, small text, no preference? normal size is a bit easier for me to read, but i have no real preference

got any potential muse delusions to share? 😉 either you know my delusions or you don't . at any rate i don't think my rosters going to move anytime soon

Munday Tuesday Lore Post: Humanity - Threat Assessment REBUTTAL

Scribe and Artificer J., I am writing to further inform you of our opinions on the subject of your most recent letter. Yes, your 'e-mails' did go through. Stop sending them. No, we will not accept the "good old-Unovan values of one on one combat" on the issue, no matter how many "fite me" messages you send. I am aware that this 'e-mail' is a lot more convenient than our courier system, but perhaps you are spending too much time on this "internet" that you so adore. This new messaging system of yours is enough to handle, as is. I feel that I must, at the very least, clarify our reasoning behind our verdict. For the most part, the council agrees with your assessment. Yes. Humanity is destined for greatness. Yes. Humanity shows limitless promise. Yes. We do take inspiration from their innovation (it'd be strange not to address this due to the way we talk to each other now). But humanity is an abnormality to the point of absurdity. They are our precursors, long before His Majesty Arceus gifted us with life, yet they still show signs of incremental growth. They repeat mistakes. They are prone to infighting. Their restrictive age keeps them from making wise decisions. For Arceus' sake, they only recently realized that it may be important to write things down. They are too unpredictable. Worst of all, they possess a power far greater than you give them credit for. Their abnormal power to persuade. Like you say, they have made complex societies, and have even gone as far as to borrow pokemons' powers for a mutually beneficial gain. What's mind-boggling is how oblivious they are to their power. No one is arguing with you that Humanity has cemented themselves as the top sapient life on the planet. Our scholars still debate on whether or not they should be classified as psychic-types due to this feat and the discussion is far from resolved. Perhaps this discussion would have been finished were it not for the fact that they are constantly changing, as you have mentioned in your assessment. Frankly, my dear friend, if I may be honest, humanity terrifies us. Imagine, if you will, the Order brought into chaos because we were convinced to make a decision without careful deliberation. Like you say, humanity barrels its way towards greatness. However, we cannot afford such rashness due to the gravity of our work. Which brings me to our next point. I understand your frustrations in our decision-making process. In comparison to mortal life, you are right in that we take too long to make a decision. This is an issue we hope to address in the future. However, these rules are written in blood. Yours included, if I'm not mistaken. We guide the entirety of existence in their path--there is no margin for error. You, of all people, should know this, given your current assignment. Your mind seems cluttered. Perhaps you need a reduction in your duties. As scribe, artificer, and now warden of some… particular probationary members, you seem to be spread thin. Do let me know if it's too much for you. Kindly, Head Scholar and Council Member Lok P. S. Are we still on for Dungeons and Dragonites? Steward Lia would like to join us. P. S. S. I know I've been pencil pushing for the past couple thousand years, but I bet I could kick your ass. Even with your blessing from Lady Victini.

18. shipping

i love shipping and i will ship with anyone who expresses interest. i will ship with multiple versions of characters bc if we both ship the thing then why not?? and i try not to repeat plots with ppl. each version of someones charater is entirely unique and i adore what could possibly be thought up.

now there are times where ive gone exclusive with a ship, but thats only happened with alex bc the plotting was so extensive that i cant imagine any other version of the ship existing lmao. but yeah!! BRING ON THE SHIPS NOW

19. smut

i am a fan of smut okay. i fully believe that smut can be just as valuable to writing a relationship as anything else. writing characters in such a vulnerable moment is sooo good idk. you can figure out their motives, their feelings, deeper emotions...its great to me!

i get why ppl can be uncomfortable writing it, but im not. hand it over.

20. violent threads

yes. also hand these over. i love writing violent scenes, bc, again, you can unveil so much abt a character from it. and i think there are certain characters ppl write that you have to be willing to write violence to some extent. like villains! as someone who writes several villains and has ocs that are fucking deplorable, if i wasnt willing to write violencr, thered be 0 point in me writing these characters

if thats not your thing, thats fine, but also like...dont shame ppl who do u know. consume content at your own risk lmao. i for one love writing muses getting their asses handed to them or ive even gone as far as writing torture. there is very little im uncomfortable with so YEAH

[helldustedstories]

wow nevermind, i wasnt trying to be weird just trying to compliment you but i take back my compliment

youre not like stolas at all and you should write stella instead since youre identical to her, a rude uppity bitch. learn to take compliments and dont assume its meant in an weird way

its no surprise you only write with the same 4 people bc youre rude and uppity and your writing might be good but its only purple prose

oh and you dont want to make other people feel bad but your always bragging and being uppity

enjoy your day i guess stella lmao

Again, normally I just delete this sort of thing and move on, especially because I don't like feeding into any sort of "drama." But at this point, this is about more than just me. This is about boundaries.

Unfortunately, I am forced to do this publicly because by choosing to continue to contact me anonymously, I have absolutely no way of having any sort of nuanced discussion with you about why the messages you've been sending me have not been okay and have crossed my boundaries several times over.

You don't know my history or what I've experienced. I don't owe you anything. But because we're doing this, I guess it's time to pull out that history and to explain to you exactly why what you did wasn't okay, especially this last message.

I have been stalked on tumblr before. It started out very similar to your first message, which I do still have saved, seeming very positive and encouraging, but it made me uncomfortable. So when I didn't answer, I got another message, this time asking to see a picture of me. I am normally fine with sharing pictures for munday sometimes, or if I feel like I'm rocking a particular look, but having someone I don't know on the internet blatantly asking, even if it is couched in another 'compliment' is wildly uncomfortable.

Again, I understand that neither of those things were malicious and were even likely well-intentioned, but respecting people's privacy online is something that is important. And when I didn't answer either of the first asks, that should have been your cue to let it go. I even turned anon off for a while because the first two made me uncomfortable.

I ended up turning it back on and got another ask, and this one felt even more bait-y than the first two. Protip: if you start a sentence with "no offense," what comes after it is usually going to be offensive. If you also have to add that something can be seen 'in a good way,' then you are acknowledging that it can also be seen in a bad way, and continuing to push that on someone else is probably not the best idea.

And when the majority of the messages go "compliment by putting other people down - actual thesis of the ask, trying to push your own thoughts onto others - other compliment putting other people down," it doesn't actually feel very much like a sincere compliment anyway. It feels like a way to continue to push your own thoughts and feelings on other people by dressing it up as though you're complimenting them.

I also have deep-seated trauma when it comes to random, unsolicited praise from people I don't know, especially when it's worded in the way that you did. Is it something I've been working on? Yes, absolutely. But telling me "learn to take a compliment" is a deeply triggering phrase, so congratulations, you're getting this whole rant instead of me just deleting and moving on.

What you said to me was not a compliment. If you have to put other people down to build someone else up, that's not helping anyone.

You sure seem to know a lot about what I post and who I write with. If you wanted to write with me and didn't get the chance, for that I am sorry. But it would have been much better if you had approached me either by sending me an ask with your actual URL or sending me an IM. I'm always happy to write with more people, but it's a two-way street. I do my best to reach out to people, to send memes, write open starters, etc, but if people don't reach back out to me, I can't exactly force anyone to interact with me.

Also, to all of your other points, part of the reason I write Stolas so well is because I've been where he is. Not exactly, not entirely, but I've been in an abusive relationship was for years. Kept going back to them despite everything because I didn't think anyone else would ever want me. Wrecked havoc on my self-esteem and my ability to form normal relationships with other people.

So sure, you can call me Stella all you want, say I'm an "uppity bitch," but I'd honestly love to see what you're referring to. I have done everything in my power to be as calm and level-headed as possible, and the only reason I am currently addressing this at all is because it has now become harassment.

If you have something you want to say to me, you are still welcome to send me an ask as yourself or IM me, and I'll be more than happy to have an actual discussion. But otherwise, please leave me alone. Please don't do this to someone else, either. You don't know their history and what might send them spiraling. If you want to send someone an anonymous compliment or try to brighten someone's day by telling them they're doing something well, then stop with that part. Make it specific, not just a generalization. If you like someone's headcanons, tell them that; if you like the graphics they edit, mention that. But don't use sending a compliment as an excuse to push your own agenda on other people, and if they don't reply, leave them alone.

[malka-lisitsa]

🤔 ; What are some differences between you and your muse?

Munday Meme Part 1

Ok so the major biggest difference is I am more like Elena when it comes to my friends. I'm more likely to die by their side than I am to peace the fuck out and save my own skin. THe level of loyalty I've learned is detrimental to say the least but thats what happens when you grow up on Digimon.

I do not give up on people easily and I have a hard time letting go of people who walk out on me.

I honestly wish I was more like Katherine with her ability to say lmfao ok bye with most things (save a select few) and I wish I could leave situations when I know I'm better for it- but unfortunately I can't because if they need someone and everyone else walked away then it's gotta be me. Which is fine. I can take it most of the time. But if I say I will be the person standing there with you when the storm clears I fucking mean it. It takes a LOT for me to drop someone I consider close. Which again, is highly detrimental and has put me in very abusive situations but we ball.

I do not recommend this style of loyalty to anyone honestly it is not for the faint of heart you get hurt a lot, and often, and its literally your fault for jumping in front of the bus- but if I can soften the blow someone else feels even a little bit I gotta try.

[maria-rayro]

Charlie receives a message from Hector. An interesting message.

Charlie sits on the set and controls the whole process, focusing on his director's work. He corrects Kate, who has strayed again from the script and stubbornly asserts that her version of the line sounds much better than the one he wrote, and Lonnit is about to confront her when he suddenly receives a message. He opens it without hesitation, seeing that it is from Hector, and at the very same moment he almost drops the phone on the floor, catching it at the last moment.

It's... nothing special, just a picture. He's not even completely naked. He just unbuttoned his shirt. The tie is still on, relaxed around his strong neck. And his hand, it's... God, it's right on his groin. Charles swallows, not immediately even moving his gaze to the lines of text that followed the photo.

"Miss you. How soon you'll be home?"

"Charlie, is everything okay?" asks Mark curiously and innocently, and Jamie looks at the director and immediately smirks.

"Damn, Charlie, you're red," she says, guessing what might have made the director so embarrassed.

Lonnit awkwardly reflexively tilts the phone screen so no one can see anything, and with his free hand adjusts his glasses. "It's stuffy in here," he excuses pathetically, then pulls himself together. "Okay, I'm going to go have a smoke and calm down now so I can stop yelling at you. And while I'm doing that, Kate, for God's sake, repeat your fucking text!" he says sternly, along with putting on his jacket, which had cigarettes and a lighter in its pocket, and hurrying outside to get some privacy to answer Hector's message without feeling Jamie's mocking stare on him.

"First of all, HECTOR PLEASE NEVER DO THIS IM TRYING TO WORK-"

"Second, you're very handsome and I can't stop thinking about how lucky I am to be with you."

"Third, I'll be home in two hours, I hope. I have to finish shooting one scene and then shoot another one."

He bites his lip, pondering before deciding to write another message.

"Will you wait for me?"

As Hector types his reply, Lonnit returns a slightly embarrassed look to the photo. He bites his lip, feeling terribly embarrassed, more like a teenager rather than a grown man. He's often felt that way around Hector.

"Sure. And when you come, be sure I'll do anything to make you beg."

Charlie bites his lip, putting the phone away, and pulls a cigarette out of his pocket, and then finally smoking. He feels like a young boy, capable of getting turned on by the smallest trifle. One picture and one text message. God. His ears burn with shame, and various thoughts keep popping into his head. What Hector might do to him, how exactly he might make him beg... Because Hector, he, oh, he knew how to do it. He could do absolutely crazy things to him, in fact. Bring him to tears of pleasure consistently once a week. Make him whimper and beg for an orgasm or even for just a simple touch.

Charles shakes his head to force himself to get rid of these distracting thoughts. He pulls back his phone.

"I'll try to finish quickly."

The answer comes right away.

"Oh, trust me, I won't let you."

"Or did you mean your work?"

Charles rolls his eyes, feeling the blush on his cheeks and smiling.

"Silly."

He thinks for a while, staring dreamily at the screen, then still opens his camera and takes a simple picture of himself with a cigarette and sends it to Hector.

"Made me blush. Satisfied?"

The answer comes some time later, and Charles realizes that Munday was staring at his picture and couldn't look away.

"Satisfied."

"Waiting at home."

Charlie smiles softly, turning off his phone and tossing out his cigarette. He feels intoxicated with love and exhilarated by the sweet anticipation of a date night.

He quickly gets back to work, completely ignoring Jamie's looks and jokes, just hoping to get the job done as soon as possible. In the end, he even agrees to Kate's edits to his script - just so he'll be able as soon as he can finish the scene, get free and go home, where Hector is waiting for him.

Hector. His man. His love.

The only person that can make him feel this way.

And nothing else really matters.

[aamaranthiine]

heyy babe, 13. what themes/motifs do you hope other people notice most about your character?

Munday Asks - Accepting

For how somber, wary and sometimes even detached Amalthea can be, there is hope in her.

I want people to see that. Hope.

To keep going on, to keep trying to build connections and show kindness, to keep hoping that the world can become a better place. It can be such a difficult feeling to hold onto, it can be so subtle and fleeting that you think it doesnt exist at all. (And Ive felt that way myself irl too.) But its there. Even at her lowest point, Amalthea wont really give up and that's from the hope she carries.

I havent touched too much on it in depth, but I am also usually buzzing with thoughts about how immortality affects one's perception. How it can warp one's view of the world. Whether born an immortal or being turned that way, I like to pick at the different angles and ways its conceptualized. One day I might write a headcanon or two about it when my brain is not soup.

[soundingstars]

💍 — any piercings? 🖊 — any tattoos? 🎶 — favorite song at the moment?

munday asks! |still accepting|

💍 — any piercings?

I do have my ears pierced which I got in like middle school I think, I actually had to have mine redone after letting the first piercing heal up because one of them did get infected. There are actually two small holes in one of my ears because of that since one of them didn't close up all the way. I don't know if I will get another piercing, I am just fine with getting to wear earrings.

🖊 — any tattoos?

No tattoos, but I've been wanting to get one even though I have a few different ideas about what I actually one. One of them dealing with my dogs with a pawprint design and their names. Hopefully I will have one eventually if I am able to get one.

🎶 — favorite song at the moment?

Hmm.... that is a hard choice since there have been a few songs which are a recent favorite of mine, but I would say its a tie between these two which are Bad Liar by Imagine Dragons and Sucker by Jonas Brothers.

Munday Meme!

12. Have you any old muses that you’d love to bring back?

There're many old muses I've contemplated bringing back over the years. Of course, I've never FULLY gone through with it. Still, there are certain instances when I have brought back old muses, yet never fully wrote them. I mainly brought them back to have them there. But ONE muse I have wanted to bring back in the past was Gilbert Nightray from Pandora Hearts! He was my very first official muse on tumblr I had for YEARS. Some stuff went down in the fandom like not long after Pandora Hearts' publication came to an end & as a sensitive soul, it affected me drastically. So, I've never even brought him back when I was mainly using my multi-muse blog. When I bought old muses back, I always added them onto there. But sadly I am so absorbed in Ensemble Stars!! & Koga in particular that I don't think I'll be able to even think about bringing any muses back.

20. How do you overcome writer’s block?

I wait it out. My ability to write efficiently comes & goes like crashing waves on a beach. If I'm feeling writer's block, I usually just don't do anything until I finally feel that CLICK in my brain & all of a sudden I'm answering almost everything in one go. Sometimes I don't get hit with the will to write until it's like super late into the night, so I just do what I can. But, if you see me musing or brainrotting on dash with no actual writing for days, it just means I'm stuck in a brain fog with writer's block, but it's not that I'm purposely ignoring anyone or anything!

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

Honestly???? Everything. But, if I'm here to be specific about one thing in particular, it has to be his growth away from Rei at last. His dependence on Rei went so deep, but he pulled himself out of it by facing Rei head on properly during the Repayment Festival. Koga never WANTED to show how much he relied on Rei, but every little subtle thing led straight to his dependence & reliance on the older boy. For a lot of the beginning half of the year's stories in ! era, Koga isn't often seen away from Rei, or the Light Music Club room where Rei would sleep. Even when he acted like he didn't need Rei, push Rei away or say he's a lone wolf, he was still so often with Rei. Rei noticed this too, of course, which is where the RockFes story begins to take its turn. Koga needed to find someone else to do it with on his own, which ultimately Rei still interfered due to filling Subaru & co in on it. But it's what Koga needed. It's later stories you begin to see Koga interacting more with the other second years & the beginnings of his friendships. But his persona was still very harsh. This is where the Repayment Festival begins its turn on him. What he truly needed was to allow others in. To stop pushing everyone else away. He accepted Adonis as his closest friend. He accepted Subaru & co as his friends. He even changed his tune with Arashi & others. His nicknames became less crass, he turned his tune around completely. By !! era, he's off doing his own things constantly. While he still cares about Rei & loves Rei, he's able to stand on his own two feet with nothing holding him back. He's warm. Still rough around the edges, but he's far FAR more his own person than latching onto Rei. So proud of him. Of course, Rei still means a lot to him, which is why like he was affected by Rei ignoring him so traumatically, but he doesn't NEED Rei. He's able to work things out on his own & stand proudly.

[miqojak]

What’s your favorite act of self care?

Munday Asks!

On a day in which my eyes are still drying from tears... I wish I knew! Ha! I guess I've never thought about self-care as something I could have a favorite part of? I feel like a lot of self-care feels tedious to my ADHD brain - like I have amazing hair, apparently - women everywhere have gushed and will tell me how jealous they are, and I'm... just eager to chop most of it off, of late, bc its too heavy and hot and a hassle to dry and care for, ugh! How do you even style hair?? I buy these face masks thinking I'll enjoy taking care of my skin and also taking a 15 minute relaxation break... and I end up bored, lol. It's hard to say... honestly I've been making myself use the Headspace app to learn to meditate and have guided sessions, to try and help with the ADHD mindset of 'gogogoalwaysbedoingsomething'... and really, with actually making myself follow through, it's been a huge help with the emotional dysregulation, it's helped me to better be able to cope with chronic pain and tension headaches... and actually kinda helped those things to hurt less by virtue of me taking the time to slow down and be present with that pain, and stop fighting it and making it worse. So... I guess lighting some incense and being still and quiet and present with myself!

(Alternately, there's this - cuddling one of my cats, like I am right now! Now that's self-care.)

29. What are your honest thought about your muse’s canon?

--I am actually working on a rewrite of Robin's lore, not changing anything but a reconstruction as I feel my writing has actually improved quite a bit within the last year? To be honest I...I never know how I actually feel about Robin's canon. I like to think its a nice play on the Faustian bargain and is a nice exploration of how grief can rip a person apart until there is nothing left; but I can never tell if others feel the same way.

TLDR: Grief can cause even the kindest of people to accept monstrous solutions for a chance at happiness and to gain back those they’ve lost. In the depths of pain, a demonic force finds its way into Robin’s life, feeding from his love and gentle heart. In desperation, Robin turns to the arcane and occult to try to find answers to make the sorrow stop. However, gruesome actions have gruesome consequences, and he finds himself in a shallow grave, now cursed to walk the earth as an ever possessed and decaying corpse. This story is an exploration of grief, the parasitic nature of relationships, and the consequences of our actions.

I really enjoy that despite everything that happened Robin is still walking forward and trying to re-enter the world after hiding for so long. I actually am writing a huge post about how he accidentally has turned into some eldritch cryptic weirdo to the people of Ionia and I really think thats a neat little accident. Grief has destroyed him and turned him truly into an ACTUAL monster that people tell their children about? BUT---YEAH. I actually CAN NEVER TELL IF ITS ALRIGHT OR NOT? I think its a tragedy of course but I don't think its anything too extreme or crazy, and it was an event that could have happened to anyone. Abel has said it before, Robin isn't special - this could have happened to anyone at anytime and there wasn't anything that could have been done to stop it. I think he's slowly starting, in canon, to pull himself out of the grave he dug, and I enjoy that from a story telling perspective, anyone can change if they push themselves to, and anyone can become a beast.

30. what are your favorite RP tropes to play? (angst, hurt-comfort, etc…)

---Oh gor, ALL OF THEM? I'm just happy people want to RP with me! Frankly I'm really interested in all genres but I really enjoy slice of life and psychological horror, what a coin flip. I LOVE exploring how muses function, and the best ways to do that in my honest opinion is either seeing how they work in daily life (does Robin have little ticks or habits he just cant break? why?) OR by pushing them to the absolute brink and seeing where they go and what decisions to take.

Also I really enjoy fluff. I've said it before and IDGAF if people think its boring, I think writing out different variations of love is an extremely gratifying thing and I will continue to do it and not be embarrassed by it. LOL

[[10 and 16 for the munday questions, please!!]]

Munday Question!

16 What is your favorite band/music genre?

Hmm... That is so hard to explain. It's really mixed actually. I love hard rock and then sometimes I really love to listen to classical music, sometimes goth music. Though I can tell you my favorite artists that I listen frequently right now.

Hozier, The Weeknd, Lana Del Rey, The Neigbourhood, Meg Myers, etc. Its too much tbh xD

10 What is your favorite fictional character (in or out of the current fandom)?

UFF! Thats a really hard one, because I love them all so much after reading the Manga (I am still rereading the Manga constantly xD) Let's make a time stamp and a little list (It's gonna be long and I am already sorry so I will cut the post here >//<):

When I first watched the first episode I immediately fell in love with Tanjiro. The kindness, empathy and love he helds for the people around him just touched me such on a deep level, it's really hard to explain. Without sounding weird, it's probably because I see the world as him. Be kind to your surrounding, you never know what they go through even if they are mean to you (but not too much!)

Then Inosuke came (and believe me I am not saying this because you are the one who send that ask xD) I swear this pretty little piece of shit. Everytime when he laughs I laugh with him and I just genuinely enjoy watching him doing stuff.

Zenitsu and Nezuko also have a special place in my heart (did you see them? They are adorable! Yes I ship them! You can judge me xD)

The Rengoku's. All of them. I cried like for the rest of the day when I watched Mugen Train. Cried again when I read it in the manga. Cried again when I rewatched it yesterday. (I know I am hopeless... I mean why am I doing this to myself??) I don't wanna even get started why I love Kyojuro so much so I won't but I have to go into detail with Shinjuro, because this man deserves better from the fandom. I know hitting his own child (just alone a child) is unforgivable and I would smack him gladly for that, but that doesn't make him a pure villain. This man is deep broken and people don't understand that. He was a passionate father who adored his family. He was so happy when he wanted to teach them Kendo, but then he lost the love of his life (and I truly believe that he loved his Ruka dearly), then he reads in the diary of his ancestor and realizes that no matter what you do, no matter how hard you train, you will never get to that level of strength that the first breather (Yoriichi). This man was depressive and deeply broken down and made later a character development. Give him some slack please (also his man tiddies are also nice but thats another story 👀)

Then we come to my first true love. Yoriichi Tsugikuni. This man... THIS MAN! I don't know where to start and my post is already long enough and ugh. Shit I will try to make it short. This man was born with a strength that is not comparable to any other person and yet he desired only a quite life with his loved that was him denied. A man who stands true to himself and who stood humble. A man who is so strong and soft and even softer for his loved ones. Someone who truly loved and was not able to forget them as they hold them high in their hearts (we know that he never remarried as he thinks that Uta was his true love. We know how much it has hurt him to attack his own brother who's flute he was still carrying with him). I could go on and on, but I think that would be too much.

😁🤔😤

munday asks on a tuesday || open, why not

😁 — what’s your favorite part about being part of the rpc?

probably making new friends honestly !! most of my friends from here are gone, but id love to make new ones :^]

either that or like. being able to be creative and just write -- do whatever, you know ? i hardly ever have planned threads, if at all, so its a great exercise for me !!

🤔 — what genre(s)/theme(s) do you struggle to write the most?

honestly these days im pretty good with writing just about anything ! ive been writing for roughly 20 years at this point, and roleplaying for roughly.. 13 ? i think ? pretty much all of which has been on tumblr ? so i don't really find myself struggling much with anything anymore

😤 — what do you dislike the most about being part of the rpc?

since being back, i think maybe just how quiet it is, but that might be due to the fact im now on the other side of the world ( gmt +2 ) so a vast majority of activity is around like.. 4 am or so ? ( which is fine, im usually up anyways )

before though, back in around 2015 - 2017 it was definitely how like. highschool-esque clique-y it got. around 2018 - 2019 people started getting really competitive with fancy graphics and back then i even had a few other ignis roleplayers try to compete with me too over who had " better / darker / ect " headcanons and whatnot which was......... very stupid imo ??? like what. both reasons are a huge part of why i ended up slipping out of the community tbh, i didnt have the time and energy for that nonsense anymore

1 through 5 for the munday memeeeee <3

Munday questions ☼

How do you feel about reblog karma?

Ok so, I see its value as good practice, but I personally don't practice it or enforce it. It's good for the ecosystem, the economy, but I also don't want anyone to feel pressured to send things, even encouraging certain memes to be stolen; my tag #ask. please steal means I want to send some ok please 👀       Ultimately, I only send things I can see Vigor saying or doing, whilst also being careful not to send asks when I'm overwhelmed with drafts (though of course if I have too many drafts I won't outright steal the meme, though might put it on a side blog to consider later sshhh.) That's actually the main reason I'm bad at reblog karma: I want to sending things but draft anxiety is stopping me, then occasionally posting the meme a week or two later.

Is it hard for you to write with characters you don’t know/don’t know well?

Yes if we're talking ocs, no if we're talking canons. I am happy to learn more about ocs as time goes on, but the more I know, the easier it is to write !! In contrast, I actually prefer canon characters I know less about, I think as part of my preference for ocs lol.

Whose writing has impacted your writing style the most? (you can choose anyone! famous writer or not.)

I don't read I'm sorry like I'm into audiobooks rn because I can listen to them on my opening shifts at work but otherwise I can't claim any clear influence 💀 Most of my reading and writing has been through roleplay and fanfiction when I was literally a child. I just hope to improve slowly through listening to audiobooks and writing here idk idk 🥲 Since this is where I read, it's my partners who influence me the most ♡

Which muse of yours is your all time favorite? if you stopped writing them: why?

Vigor my son 💞 I've been writing him on-and-off since 2016 and I'm so glad I revamped him for bg3 on a whim. He was originally a Skyrim oc but he works so much better here 😭 the brain worm was good for him, actually.

Is there a muse you really want to try? if yes: what’s stopping you?

My favourite d&d character of all time: Russel Tumblebrush. In fact, I did briefly make a blog for him, only to realise not many people want to write with an acearo time-travelling mole who talks like a pyromaniac Winnie the Pooh. Still, I might try it again, or just write him on discord one day. If anyone wants to send their muses through time-travel therapy with a lovable but unhinged moleman hmu ✌️       I also occasionally think about writing Wyll simply because he needs more love, Larian >:( which isn't a great reason, since I do prefer writing ocs (less pressure omg) and I barely have time as it is. Also, Solas or Cole from dai, just because I love both them boys so much 😭😭 I think writing Cole would be healing for me fr. Solas? He's in my brain 24/7 so I might as well lmao.

Munday Meme

🍊🍉🍓 - for Kaey

munday meme || accepting

🍊 - What are your favourite genres of threads? Fluff? Angst? Etc

oh angst, definitely angst. I am. an angst hound, especially when it comes to kaey like. have ya'll seen the shit I put him through ? lmao I'm also a big fan of hurt/comfort and like. relationship stressing / building kind of things specifically. I want all the emotional turmoil, pushing people away, "I'm awful why do you act like you care about me", I need a hug but I'll never ask for one sort of stuff. I eat that shit up, I fucking live for it. for slowburn romance or just regular dynamics, tbh.

but I also really like soft threads. learning to trust, taking care of each other, that sort of thing. gentleness to soften out the inherent angst. warming up to each other, etc.

🍉 - If you considered a time travel thread, when would your muse go?

I... am not really sure. the past maybe ? to see more of his mom, of his family, before things fell apart. maybe back to when he first met henri. just, the soft parts of his past that he wish he could return to. but... I also think he would return to the parts of his past where he was struggling, like at his lowest, if only to be like. hey. you're gonna be okay. to his past, younger self. like not even in a capacity to like. change anything, just to. reassure himself that he has a future, he will survive.

🍓 - What’s your sweetest rp experience so far?

for kaey specifically ? idk man. I guess... the long and involved process that has been both the development of my friendship with mel and the development of the relationship between our ocs, kaey and sarah. its been a fucking ride, a great one, one that I treasure and look back upon fondly frequently. sarah was the happy ending I was never quite sure of giving kaey, but. she has just become such a pivotal part of him, if not just his story but also his development. I couldn't ask for a better rp friend or a better ship, honestly. I love both mel and sarah so much.

Talk about : meme; drabbles, long threads, personal blogs & reblog karma ?

munday asks

Memes

love 'em. best ways to smash muses together and see what happens or start a new situation with a established interacting muses. or even start a conversation with someone.

Drabbles

Huge fan of drabbles lol. I don't know what else to say besides I love love writing them and reading them.

Long Threads

i have a toxic trait, where i tend to turn small things to long things. but its only because when i have the inspiration and muse i have to get out there. i know long threads aren't everyone's cup of tea, and i get it. there are times when something short is sufficient but usually when it comes to my main two, 8/10 times it will get long. but if a mun lets me know that they can't do long things, then i keep that in mind and try to keep it as short and simple as i can.

Personal Blogs

i have one so i cant judge. lol anyone remember xanga?!? livejournal!?! am i too old? when it comes to rp i think as long as they say which blog they write from its all cooler than a polar bear's toenails

Reblog Karma

i dont believe in it myself. i feel like sometimes theres a good meme someone might like but doesnt know what to send and im all for them just reblogging it so other can send things to them. i'm pretty chill about it. it don't bother me.
