Butters: Die. Stan: Please don't die! Butters: DIE! Stan: PLEASE DON'T DIE! Kenny, confused: Why are they yelling at a plant? Kyle, watching while eating popcorn: They bought it together and Stan wants Butters to accept it as their kid. ————— Stan: When's the last time you slept? Butters: Uh… a few days ago, I think. Stan: A few- how many?! Butters, starting to count on his fingers: Uh… I need more fingers… Stan: What you need is sleep! ————— Kyle: What are you in the mood for? Stan: World domination. Kyle: That's a bit ambitious. Stan: You are my world. Kyle: Aww… Stan: Kyle: Stan: Kyle: OH. ————— Kenny: You look good in that hoodie. Stan: You know where else I'd look good? Kenny, zero hesitation: My bed. Stan, at the same time: By your side- wait, what? ————— Kenny: Hi, sorry I’m late. I was doing a couple of things and got distracted. Butters: I’m “a couple of things”. Kyle: I’m “got distracted”. ————— Kenny, with a headache: Advil me up, daddy. Kyle: I will short out the language centre of your brain if you say anything like that ever again. ————— Butters: Wait, why would you think I have a crush on Kenny? He's dating Stan, and I'm dating you. Kyle: Oh, well, he said he liked you, so I just drew conclusions from there. Butters: …?!?!?!?!?!

OOC Info Yapping😔

Hey! Welcome to my little shitstorm of an au! Obviously I’m gonna talk about it for a little bit because I never learn when to stfu and I feel like there’s a couple of things that I need to bring up to tie the whole thing together.

So this layout is kinda new to me. Technically is a roleplay but also at the same time there’s not gonna be any interaction with other rp blogs. Y’all are more than welcome to rb for your own roleplays though. There’ll be plenty of random shitposts that can be taken out of context.

This blog is being made to mimic an old school website. Y’know the ones where there’s an interactive wall for the students to post on? Yeah that. The post on this blog are going to be a mix of three things (technically four but I don’t think my ooc/admin posts really count).

ANNOUNCEMENT POSTS: Announcement posts are going to be used in place of actual posts for a site admin. Most of the time they’re going to be for lore drops that aren’t really relevant but are kinda fun to put into the storyline. For example: a background character or a character who isn’t that relevant to the story arcs birthday.

WALL POSTS: These wall posts are supposed to be posted “by students.” Once again they’re going to be used to drop more lore crumbs because high schoolers gossip a ridiculous amount and I think it’s funny.

FIC POSTS: The final type of posts are going to be fic posts! These will be link drops to my ao3. The fics will contain the main lore/arcs. They’ll also be reblogged to my main.

This story has odd publishing schedule to say the least. There are twenty-two story arcs. The storyline itself starts September 2nd 2024 and ends June 18th 2026. Each story is also planned to be posted on an accurate date, like in real time.

One arc is equal to one month. For example Arc 1: Intro to The Losers Club, takes place throughout September. The first official fic is going to be labeled like this on any master list: 1.1: (INSERT TITLE HERE). These works will either be oneshots or multi chapters. Any multi chapter will be split into “parts” like if a multi chapter is four chapters in total and there’s only two chapter total it’ll be labeled simply like this: 2/4.

Also there are some darker themes in these stories! Firstly, it’s high school. What high schooler doesn’t have issues? Secondly, it’s South Park and that itself is pretty self explanatory. And finally, I’m fucking delusional and think it’s funny.

Speaking of me though, HI!!! If you’re a mutual on my main who’s stumbled upon this mess, yes it’s Clouded. If you don’t know know who I am you can find me at my main: @justyourtypicalwriter where I am much more active and my posts are very much unplanned, unlike this blog. It’s become a favorite project of mine in the short time I’ve been working on it though and I hope you grow to enjoy it as much as I do!

Here’s one of my many, many picrews of myself that I normally use as pfps because I have a problem and that was a lot of writing💀

BUT I’M STILL YAPPING BECAUSE YOU MAY BE ASKING:

“Oh Clouded what are the ships in this au?”

And to my rare pair lovers I say:

“You’re eatin’ good tonight bbg😘”

Because as much as a Style girlie I am, there are SO MANY absolutely amazing rare pairs that get such little recognition. I know how excited I get when I see a rare pair in a popular fic or comic so there’s some food for my fellow rare pair lovers.

SHIPS:

K2

Staig

Weidi

Tyde

Dip

Rebstella

Gregstophe

Jimmy/Nichole (what’s their ship name y’all)

There’s probably more but I can’t think of any lmao-

HAPPY READING!!!

Ah, I don't think that's supposed to be there. I'm not the best at this computer thing so I'll let Matt deal with it.

That aside, I think we should introduce ourselves. I'll start while he's checking this "issue" out.

Hello. My name's Colin Sloan. Financial advisor. Used to do things more face-to-face, but I figured this program makes things more efficient. Glad to be of service.

Ah no, that is not. No need to worry, it shouldn't cause any harm. Let's simply leave it for the time being.

Hello, I am Matthew Godrick. And I do... ah... I do the more technical stuff. I.. I... wait-

...

Sorry I appear to be experiencing some technical difficulties.

Huh. Did something happen? Do you need anything, kid? You look a little shocked.

I... ah, I'm fine. Just some technical difficulties.

Oh, okay. You can always just take a break. I'll deal with this.

Yes that'd likely be the best course of action. Thank you.

No problem. I'll be checking on the clients now.

...

Get me out of here, assholes!

-David, if you are feeling unsatisfied with our service, you could easily just message us. No need for profanity, please.-

Fuck you!

-SHUT THE HELL UP LARSON-

No, you shut the fuck up! You're both monsters on all fucking levels! Get me out of here!

-Oh, oh no. You're getting it all wrong. We're not... monsters. But I can be one, if it weren't for formalities--

-I'll show you a monster YOU LITTLE SHI--

WHAT THE FUCK

-Godrick, the claws aren't necessary.-

-Well, our 'client' better watch his fucking mouth then.-

I'M NOT SHUTTING THE HELL UP! Why the fuck are you doing this?

-Doing what? Business? Listen here, client. We do what we do to help poor souls like you...

because we could. Nothing else. Got that?-

Ha! That's bullshit! I know you two have a fucking agenda! Got an axe to grind with someone?

-...-

-I think you should watch your mouth, Larson. Do yourself a favour and shut it.-

I'm not shutting up until you get me the fuck out of here.

-Why the hell should we let YOU out of here?-

Because... because I don't deserve this! I need to go home, people miss me out there! You probably wouldn't get it.

-Oh, but you do. David, you got what you bargained for. As for... the people, well... they already know what's happened to you. It was all over the news. They wouldn't question a thing. I made sure they get the details correctly.-

-...-

Huh? What's going on with him-

-Oh. Uh. You know what? David, you're dismissed. Please. Leave your complaints somewhere else, and we can talk about this later. I believe my coworker here is going through a 'bug' again.-

...whatever. Fuck you.

-Thank you for the feedback. We will get back to you in a moment.-

making a post in the tags to “call out” a person is so dumb and childish and stupid, so i won’t put this in there. however, the admin of @wavehq is full lying on my name these days even though i haven’t talked to them or anyone else involved in there in like 6mos. and i rly want them to stop.

i don’t have my old discord account w ss. if anyone else has ss with me in them, u can add them to this post idc how ugly it makes me look. i talked a LOT of shit ( and pertaining to this story, about sel esp ) and called ppl some nasty names and any ss will incriminate me of that. so me talking shit isn’t a ‘gotcha’ anymore. i talked shit and called sel names, as well as k, and i know sel called me names, and im sure everyone else did too. whatevs.

yk what i never did ? i never made a “manifesto” about my ex friend, or priv-retweeted their personal ooc twitter account to mock them. i never helped create and work on an rpt blog, then went and consoled the person being mentioned in nasty messages in the blog on some “oh im so sorry this is happening to you ˙◠˙” shit when it was them the whole time. the worst i did was “fuck her, he’s a cunt, fuck them”, but dream, you lied to me a Lot!

and you’re lying in defending yourself by saying i “heavily hate” sid or anyone. i never have, never did, never will. the last thing i said to sid in like July was “hey, heres my ooc tiktok, im deleting discord. if i never hear from you again, take care.” and then i left rp and the rpc entirely. haven’t talked to or even perceived any of you in months.

you want to believe i’m “bringing this up now” to start stuff or something, but what stakes do i have in any of this? you and yours drove me out of the hobby i’ve loved since i was 12, used an rpt blog to force me to defend myself against your ugly claims at a time you Knew well and good i was absent and dealing with a family death ( and then came in my dms to comfort me ??? you and k both. ) . i lost all of my best friends of several years. trust me, i want no part of the rpc anymore. i don’t want back in. i don’t want to engage. this is a nothing tumblr account that ill never use again. consider, instead, that another person close to the situation and i shared similar experiences and realized there were too many untruths and inconsistencies to let it rest, rather than just ‘starting stuff’ to start stuff.

“sid says steph crops screenshots to make them look incriminating” aye , but i definitely gave my entire discord login out, more than once, and encouraged my friend at the time to go ahead and look for themselves ( they declined at the time. i can still give the login i really do not care. though idk if the login will work anymore bc the accounts been deactivated for, uh, 6 months.) i cropped ss where earthp members were telling me how K is making them uncomfortable and how they were worried lenny was being dragged around by K, that i did do. and i STILL let k know that that’s what they were saying. i can’t stress enough ive got Nothing here that im fighting for i just think its ugly to lie for so long to everyone

“steph heavily hates sid” i do not. note the last thing i said to sid, up there ^. we did follow each other on tiktok then, and then we didn’t speak for 6 months. as of this morning, we are no longer tiktok mutuals - so it goes. sid never owed me anything. i don’t hate them. they know ( and yk what, so do my irl work managers!!! bc this shit affected my actual real mental health!!! ) that the day things went down, i left work early sobbing full blown emotional episode, writing paragraphs in desperation, to the point of overwhelming them and myself. i loved them dearly, called them my ‘spouse’ and best friend everyday, etc. though i don’t know now if they knew more about you than they let on. anyway……. please don’t just be declaring shit about me like it’s fact ?? i don’t hate anyone. not even you dream! just stop lyinggggg i hate that

ye all made me feel like i was crazy and losing myself in my own paranoia omg??? and ye were in your private chats afterward going “well deserved!!!” who even are you what did i do to you omgggg are we not in our late 20s with lives and careers ?????

if this is all bc of heddie/reddie and avengefm ? its ships dude it’s dolls it’s not real and to commit so much energy and emotion to lying to protect ur ships/rps is troubling at best. and if its not about heddie/reddie, then i haven’t a NOTION bc you and i, even when we were friendly w each other, were not close enough to create a bond to break??? i didnt do anything to you but welcome you into my writing spaces and engage in yours to the best of my ability. i was transparent with you when my activity struggled or i needed a break for mental health reasons… but what you had done with your friends is what ruined my mental health ?… go figure ….

i know who was behind that blog because they came clean and told me your connection to it as well. i know sel said nasty things about me too - we’re human and humans love talking shit. but no one else ever took it as far as you did, dream.

i don’t want anything from you! just stop lying on my name i don’t “heavily hate” anyone. outside of my shit talking from 6mos ago, i haven’t said a word against anyone but yourself; i’ve called you a liar, here in this post, because that is what i believe you are.

nobody in my entire life brings up what happened in everwell more than you and k. i owned up to every part i had ( whether directly or by my unavailability, all of it ), i deplatformed and cut out my two best friends ( people i had had in my HOME and had met IRL they were real people to me!!!!! ) and apologized personally to everyone affected, while picking out a funeral outfit and consoling my crying family. these are all my cards on table. you don’t have to respond either. just omg quit lying about me and the way i feel and what my intentions are - if a mf wants to know what im thinking and feeling, they can just Ask me.

and k i don’t want anything from you either! your names in this post because you were involved, and you know your involvement with that blog and how you also came to console me after. outside of that, i do not think of you and do not care what you think of me.

sid, i don’t want anything from u all either and i meant it when i said if i never hear from you again, take care bc i did care for u lots and also invited you into my home bc you were a real person to me. just know for a fact that anything dream says i’m saying about you or feeling toward you is just pulled out of thin air for whatever reason.

i always thought ye all were great writers!!! and so did snags and lex, way back when it was about writing for the love of writing. i would say all the time “omg dream is so funny” “omg k is cracking me up”, and they’d agree. hell if they’re at all in the rpc anymore and see this - hey guys! sorry shit got so ugly. you’ll never guess who was behind it.

i left the rpc and got mental help. i hope ye can get some help too.

* this is dream bringing sel into the Issues and tying her directly to k, btw. you keep saying you didn’t bring sel into the k stuff, but “they’re besties” “she and sel” “they want peach to drop eddie so sel can pick up eddie” this is where we’re getting that from, bc you keep saying you only referenced sel’s activity and didn’t connect her to k at all. i cropped out sids response. i can add it if need be but it’s just sid believing you.

this is where i’m pulling what im referencing in this post from. the second half is censored bc it doesn’t have to do with me.

this is me texting my irl work manager on the day sid and i last spoke. i was distraught and emotional and crying but ok yeah i “heavily hate” sid when the way everything went down broke me to bits OKAYYY

the censored names are the names of my irl managers like it was So Serious so don’t try putting words in my mouth about sid.

Sorry but what's Narnian inhabitants? Wasn't it like a book or sm?

Chronicles of Narnia is a fantasy book/movie/soon to be a Netflix series yes.

When Finger Seizure (FS), Crazy Insomniac (CI) and myself (TQ) first became friends forever ago, we started a WhatsApp group called Narnia. Why? Because I love the movies and had admin privileges.

It was almost nostalgic and amusing for me - comparing the trope of stepping into a magical wardrobe to get access to a magical land to our digital group that let us get away from reality for a few hours. We were (ARE) fantasy nerds, okay?!

Anyhow, the group activity was up and down over the years but the friendship survived. And so did the group name.

When we made a return to RP this year, we just decided to own our Narnian 'nationality' for our ooc stuff. So all ooc stuff or any post that is exclusively for the three of us uses the #Narnian Inhabitants tag.

Rare OOC post:

Hello everyone! This post will be poorly formatted, as I am on mobile. There is some truth to the recent journals in that I’m taking flight this afternoon for a work trip, and I will be barely active until late Sunday night. I’m typing this post in the airport and will reblog it at least once after I land for increased visibility. I’ve confessed my newness to some of you recently, and it’s true that I’ve only roleplayed on Tumblr for the briefest stints back in 2010 and 2013—possibly 4-6 months in total. To that end, I’m still learning the ropes of Tumblr roleplay, and I’ve spent a lot of time perusing your profiles and bios and admin pages in an attempt to grasp contemporary roleplay conventions.

I wanted to make a post disclosing some identities that might be of interest, as I recognize now that my anonymous, “always IC” approach is not as standard as I had originally believed. I will be adding these facts about me to my OOC Info page as soon as I’m back on a desktop: I just can’t format them effectively on mobile! So with that said, let’s get into this. :)

First things first…

My “admin” name! I typically go by the name “Redacted” — which, yes, is sometimes shortened to “Red” — in non-roleplay social spaces. I am certain that this moniker is going to come across as cheeky to most readers, but please trust that I genuinely use this name OOC, and you can call me that with the full understanding that I will respond warmly to it.

Some identity info! I’ve posted that I’m autistic, as it’s extremely important to my understanding of Red. I am also a cis gay man IRL who uses he/him pronouns. I would also consider myself on the ace spectrum, though I experience no aversion to sexual content.

Noteworthily, I am not currently interested in shipping Red with anyone. However, I do headcanon Red as gay in a general sense, and would only consider intimacy between other male characters. (As an important edit, I am also hesitant to establish relationships with other characters because, while I do envision my version of Red as a distinct adult, aged-up protagonist shenanigans can be uncomfortable to navigate. To reiterate a note from my current biography page, I am against “proshipping” and similar “problematic” fandom rhetoric. That being said, I am glad to know that most of this community feels similarly, and I hope that you do not mind me shying away from shipping plots in light of this disclosure.)

I would ask, as a general note, to please be gentle with me if I miss a social cue that would be commonly understood in this roleplay community. There is a lot of standard stuff—such as the way you all create and respond to meta/dash commentary, or conventions about reblogs and post formatting—to which I’m still growing accustomed. I made this blog after rediscovering my love of the Pokémon games with no expectation nor understanding of what I might be getting myself into. That prospect is exciting beyond measure, but I’m definitely experiencing a cultural learning curve, and I would appreciate if you could laugh off any awkwardness as I grow in this space. 🌠

I am happy to answer any and all inquiries as I get accustomed to this blog—and it goes without saying that I would LOVE to facilitate some in-character interactions with you. Thank you so much for reading; I’m ecstatic to be here, and hope to hear from you soon.

 I find myself incredibly bored, and sleep isn’t cutting it so I’m gonna tell y’all some stories from my 10+ years of rping on various platforms! Buckle up everyone, let’s do this. 

 My first story comes in the form of me being involved in an ami.no rp, where I created a marvelous, detailed OC. I was really proud of this OC, and it took me several days to flesh out her character and her journey. She was a wonderful character, although I’ll never rp her again due to this incident. 

 One of my BIGGEST pet peeves is when someone plagarizes or copies people’s writing, art, whatever. So, you can imagine my surprise upon finding out that one group of friends copied the ENTIRE amino. Like, legit took our systems, rules, aesthetics, everything. Now as someone who helped build this platform, including writing up a fair amount of lore and fun abilities, I was a little steamed. 

 But NOTHING could compare to someone literally copying and pasting my OC. They literally control A control c control v my character. The same metaphors, the same expressions, the same TYPOS were on the form. They changed the face claim and the name of the OC but otherwise it was EXACTLY my form. 

 They tried to claim that it was their own OC. Which it was not. That was wild, let me tell you. I ended up just leaving the dm, blocking them, and moving on. They were banned from the amino they copied, so like, lol it worked out I guess. 

 Now let’s talk about the time I was bitched out by someone... because they liked me. 

 On this SAME amin.o, someone comes into my dms and starts talking with me. Chatting. We talk for a few weeks, and I noticed that she started modeling her aesthetics after mine, which, fine. Then she sought out the same abilties for her characters as mine. Which again, okay. 

 She’s always telling me how much she admires me, how much she looks up to me, things like that. I’m flattered, but eventually it starts getting kinda overwhelming. 

 Finally, one day, I wake up to this HUGE rant on how she admires me so much that she hates me. That she wishes she were me, because I have everything she wants. She ranted about how good I was at rp and creating characters and how she was so envious of my ability and said it wasn’t fair that I got everything. Like she went ON. 

 I think I was just like “oh sorry” before I moved on and never mentioned it again. 

 One last story from amin.o. Someone created an OC. A rather peculiar OC. This OC was... 

 A kazoo. 

 Yes, someone wanted to roleplay a sentient kazoo. 

 Forged by Hepheatus and blessed by Aphrodite, this kazoo just wanted to be played and make friends with humans. It had feelings. It had love. It was something else. 

 We, of course, approved the kazoo. 

 If that wasn’t wild enough, someone’s character had BEEF with the kazoo. Like unironically. 

 I think the thing was that the girl that the person’s character liked was hanging out with the kazoo more than him, so the OC. (without the muns) permission, threw the kazoo into the water and described it drowning. 

 People then, before the kazoo was revived, held a massive funeral for said kazoo. 

 So there’s that. 

 My final story for now relays the time I got kicked out of a roleplay because my character was causing unrest and problems. 

 But not for the reason anyone would think. 

 So I join a group of home.stuck roleplayers, we are doing a fan session. I make a human OC, and join in the rp where there are already three human characters. trolls have not be cast yet, which was fine, they wouldn’t be relevant for a while. 

 Anyways, I guess I made my character too likable because all of the muns of the human characters decided to have them all crushing on MY OC. My lesbian OC. It was the Wednesday love triangle before it even happened. Or i guess square? Since it was two dude ocs and one girl oc in addition to my oc. 

 Yep, this actually happened. 

 So people in OOC would get into fights about MY CHARACTER and how I should be shipping with THEIR OC. My character caused ship wars. 

 Eventually, the admin decided to KICK ME OUT, rather than telling the other three to get it together. Like “if you all can’t share none of you can have it” I guess? 

 I’ve never joined another fan.session. 

 I hoped you enjoyed a small taste of the wildness I’ve experienced, and let me know if you want me to share more stories including the time an online friends tried to isolate me from my irl life, someone who thought I was a kin from the same source their kin was, the time I had to deal with a server wide crisis because the other admins decided to play a nasty april fools prank while I wasn’t online, or the time I became a relationship counselor for two people in their mid 20s. I was 16. And many more! 

 Until next time folks.

Out in the streets, the evening ends in bloodshed. Half-way into the conflict, the police arrives — and the later act of this epic unfolds. Gang on gang, on law, on gang. Backwards and forwards again. 

They arrest who they can. Some of the wounded flee, others can’t help but stay behind. The dead are added to the casualty list. Some will have a grave; others, lack a name to be buried with.

But due to the police’s timely intervention, a much worse fate settles: there is no winner. The land, still belonging to no man.

Back at Gotham Hall, only a few hear of this. The next morning, there’s no report of the madness on the papers — no urgent flashes through your morning newscast. Fundraiser a Success; Millions Donated; A Victory for the NYPD. It stops at that.

As they recover — the gangs, too, are surprised not to see their faces on the wanted list. Someone out there might just have their best interest in mind. 

But why?

RECAP: PART 1 | PART 2 | PART 3 

OOC INFORMATION:

Part Four out of Four. This is the last update on the event, and you may finish your threads from here.

If any of your characters are included in this update (or if they’re not directly mentioned!) you’re welcome to write their threads and development through this, if you see fit. For example, the police arrival and all consequences of that are absolutely plot points which can be used. But, your creativity is always the limit.

You can finish your event threads at your own pace. Of course, we encourage such conclusions be carried out sooner rather than later, just to make room for fresh plottings — but that’s just a tip, not a rule. Do whatever works for you!

As always, should there be any questions or need of assistance with any plots, please feel free to contact the admins and we’ll be happy to help you.

CLOSING PROMPTS:

(To claim these, simply message the main page with your character name + prompt desired! Example: ‘Jane Doe for Character A please!’) 

Gang members TIMA EL-MASRI, CHARACTER B, and CHARACTER C were arrested after the police’s arrival. CHARACTER D, CHARACTER E, AND CHARACTER F were the ones to arrest them.

Government figures JULIAN BERKELEY, ANGELINA HOLBROOK, DAVID STOLL, CHARACTER L, were aware of the happenings out on the streets and made a deal with media people LEV MOVSKA, CHARACTER N, CHARACTER O — the only media that knows about the conflict — to not have any of it be reported on, as to not cause panic. All in agreement, the case is buried.

GANG MEMBERS are encouraged to dedicate themselves to recovery, as it was a bloody fight. They may also already be planning revenge — or a sure way to secure what they didn’t win, the night before.

MEDIA CHARACTERS have plenty of material to work with off the gala, depending on who they ended up one-on-one with. A select few know of the gang conflict, but those are just the ones who won’t tell a soul about it. 

GOVERNMENT and LAW ENFORCEMENT still have something to celebrate, even with the conflict. It was a successful fundraising night, and whatever conflict there was, exists in a plane where New Yorkers have no clue of. There are many levels as to where one might land, here; the optimists, the pessimists, and the over-thinkers.

CIVILIANS may experience mix of all above — or feel entirely detached from it all. Depending on where fate drew them that night, a whole new universe unfolds. Faith in New York City, in what they accomplished that night — or dissatisfaction, in whatever shape it may take. 

QUICK FAQ

Can we continue event threads if we haven’t finished them? Yes. This is up to you! Of course, we encourage such conclusions be carried out sooner rather than later, just to make room for fresh plottings — but that’s just a tip, not a rule. Do whatever works for you!

Can we start new threads at the event? Yes. We would just ask that this be kept to a minimum, just so there can be room for fresh new things — but we understand if you didn’t have time to start something and would still like to! If possible, we’d ask that such threads be set towards the end of the event rather than in earlier parts.

DEATH TOLL

Gideon Hayes, of the Cortázar Cartel, has been killed during the conflict. Multiple other gangster NPCs have also been killed or been badly injured. 

THANK YOU!

This marks the end of our one year anniversary event — thank you! As always, we were been blown away by so much incredible writing, character development, and wonderful ideas on dash.

CARTER’S BIOGRAPHY

Full Name: Carter Richard Presley

Nicknames: Car, C, Presley

Age: Twenty-Four

Sexuality: Straight

Date of Birth: 27th May 1997

Place of Birth: Toronto, Canda

Current Location: New York City, United States of America

TW: underage sub/dom relationship, grooming

carter presley. being born and raised in toronto, canada had it’s advantages but it also had its disadvantages and carter knew this. yes having a wealthy family and living in toronto was great and all but money doesn’t mean anything if you don’t have love in your household and that’s exactly how carter felt when it came to his parents. money to carter was just another materialist thing. he didn’t care much for it. most of his childhood, money was just another way to buy his and his siblings happiness, well that’s what his parents thought anyway. growing up he was far from happy, he had his housekeeping team and his nanny who would look after him, which he was so grateful for. it was hard growing up around other wealthy kids with their parents showing them all the love that he wanted for himself and his sibling. carter would never admit it to his sibling but he always though their was something wrong with them. why didn’t their parents love them and care about them the way others did to their kids. carter got to travel a lot around the world but mostly around the canada and united states with his parents because that’s what they thought he wanted. he was left on his own the majority of the time, but he loved seeing new cities and exploring them.

As the years went by carter noticed a change in his attitude and temper. he got to the stage where he was acting out, having abusive and aggressive outburst and half the time he didn’t know how to control it. one day, his nanny hadn’t put something away and he absolutely lost it and after that he knew he needed to do something about it. carter felt so horrible about his outburst towards her and he soon after did some research and decided that he was going to start boxing to try release some of the anger in his body and learn how to control it. from eleven years old he was boxing five days a week at the boxing centre and you could nearly always find him down at the gym at home on the weekends. his boxing first started as a way to release his anger. 

carter had just turned thirteen and a few weeks later his family hosted a dinner  party in honour of one of their friends. this upset carter because his parents didn’t care about his birthday and didn’t even celebrate his birthday but they could celebrate one of their friends.  even though he was upset carter attended the party and put on a fake smile. he made the appearance, socialised acted like he wanted to be there. he noticed that a particular female friend of his parents was showing him some interest. carter knew this lady quite well. after that night he became her submissive for five years. this was another way for carter to control his short temper. he ended the sub/dom relationship after five years when he was eighteen years old. he knew that this wasn’t the normal type of relationship people had but he never new anything else.

after ending things with his parent’s friend he thought this was the perfect opportunity to move away, start a fresh. get away from all the negativity of his parents. carter decided to move to new york city, the big apple. plus it would more beneficial for his boxing career if he wanted to peruse that. carter moved into an apartment in soho five years ago and he has loved every minute of living in nyc. it was also close to work. he started working at the arconia hotel one year ago as a bartender.

my experience with addy / hiqey

i’ve contemplated posting my history with addy/hiqey for awhile now. my friends have encouraged me to do so, but due to her stance in the rpc i was always far too scared to do so. with all that is coming to light with her recently, not only is a huge weight off my shoulders as far as comfortably roleplaying as my escape, but knowing i’m not alone. my story with addy dates back to about september 2018. i do warn you this will be long, and i’ll try to include enough details to make it make sense while not dragging things on and on. this includes both my personal relationship with addy, as well as my experience with her in groups one where she she was an admin, and groups where i was an admin. as well as i believe we coadmined one together. i’ve put screenshots where i could, but some of this dates back to 2018 and i just don’t have access to those texts/rp accounts anymore.

a huge huge shout out to @bumkeyz for starting this avalanche, and for also supporting me one on one along with all my friends to feel safe enough to come forward. i’ll put all of my story under a read more. 

i’m going to start this by saying, my name is mel/melanie. you may have heard of me because back when addy was on rpslayed she wasn’t a big fan of me for awhile. predominantly my group the cape(?) the main isn’t up anymore so i can’t remember the exact @. i’m 21 years old, i will be 22 this month. i am married & i have a 3 year old daughter. this is information i don’t normally tell people i’m married / have a child, because well, i just feel a little judged. not because anything anyone has specifically done or said, but my own anxieties worried that people will think it’s weird to be married with a child and still in twitter rp. but it is important to my story with addy, which is why i’m letting everyone know right off the bat. 

i met addy in a group called producers. this group is from september 2018, so i’m not able to access anything right now, but am digging. i played (feel free to clown me) a g-eazy character named pierce. addy played a carlson young who’s name i can’t quite recall, and a gracie abrams named lolly. lolly & pierce became friends first & at some point we exchanged phone numbers. lolly & pierce flirted a lot, pierce was a player yada yada. eventually she ended up getting a different ship on lolly & pushed her carlson young onto pierce. pierce had a different love interest & didn’t end up going for her. this should’ve been the first negative sign/red flag. when pierce didn’t get with her character, she got very short & snarky ic and ooc. i believe both of her characters blocked me ic. even though pierce had made no ic promises to either to not be with someone else. we still maintained some level of friendship, but she was extremely weird about when i mentioned my ship. our friendship ended for a few months because of an incident that started ic between me and another character. the mun who played this character and i had bonded ooc over having been pregnant, we talked somewhat often about her dealings with her pregnancy. so i felt close enough/friendly enough with this mun that when something happened with her character & another character ic i dm’ed her to see if she was ok .long story short it went bad. i texted addy and told her that. i explained that i felt as if this mun & i were close and it was like dm’ing a friend. she held onto the fact that i shouldn’t have messaged her. when i didn’t immediately conform to her thought she kicked me out of the group. i was literally devastated. i loved that group, that character, my ship; all of it. she blocked me. though this story is 2 paragraphs long, it’s minor in the grand scheme of things. after this she smeared me on rpslayed for months until our paths crossed again in a group called glitches/glitch? we decided to squash our beef. this was december 2019.

in december 2019 we became friends again. honestly, i wish we never crossed paths. we got very close right away. she started telling me about a bad friendship she had, with someone we mutually knew from producers who i will not name since it’s not my place to put their name in this, and gained my sympathy. so much so that i ended a friendship with that person based solely on accusations that addy had told me. this is something that i can now realize i did wrong. i literally cussed this person out on the phone, solely based off things addy told me. i didn’t listen to someone who had been my friend for months, who defended me and picked me up when addy was tearing me down on rpslayed. i turned my back because addy convinced me to. she made this person seem awful. and again, i’m not naming them, but they know exactly who they are. and when thy do read this, i’m sorry.

now this is where things get out of hand. addy & i begun an intimate relationship. this is very personal, and i know some may pass judgment. but my husband was cool with it. addy also began talking to my husband, they texted. we had a groupchat. not to get into details about the relationship, but it was romantic. i am going to try and organize my thoughts. into themes.

money

this relationship lasted from about january ish to april romantically. i became addy’s crutch. she began going through personal issues with her family. and i started sending her money. to be frank i don’t remember how it started. i helped her with a job search, supporting her through these tough things that were going on. the money started casually i suppose. it was $10 for lunch. $25 for nails. but then it got worse. i bought her a phone. and slowly she grew more entitled to my money. asking for it. demanding it. guilting me when i didn’t give it. i lied to her and told her i lost my credit card and turned it off, but the guilt i had i told her that i could turn it on when she needed it. in screenshots i will post below she guilted me because i was sick and fell asleep before turning my card on. whether what she’s saying occured is true or not, it was just one example of how she made me feel. at one point she had my credit card on her uber, and charged nearly $400 of ubers on my credit card that i didn’t know about. she claimed it was an accident, because i let her put my card on her account under the agreement that she would turn it off. we had an agreement of what she would pay me back, some things that i got her were gifts and i didn’t want/need back. other things it was always an agreement she would pay me back. however whenever i would mention sending me a payment she had an excuse. one time even guilting me by reminding me how much better i have it than she does. all in all i spent / sent upwards of $2500/$3000 on her. only about $1500/$1800 i wanted back. i never saw a dime back, she never made good on her promises. at some point i gave up on asking.

ETA: as far as the uber situation goes, she did apologize and state that it was never on purpose when i found out that there was nearly $500 in charges. she said she thought she was charging her moms card. this shows a photo of 1 page of a 5 page statement of all the transactions put on my card by her in one month. there are only 6 of these transactions that were me. all of the ubers and venmo were her. i didn’t make her take off my card, which in hindsight was obviously a very bad decision. i just didn’t want to leave her stranded without ways to get home/where she needed to be. 

this is her demanding money. this was in the summer. at this point i was so manipulated by her/scared of her/scared of losing her that i didn’t know how to say no. in this instance i deflected with a picture of my child. screen shot.

in the screenshots here, this is where i fell asleep. i was on vacation and got extremely dehydrated in the sun. i literally felt so sick and she made me feel guilty for falling asleep. X X X 

this screenshot shows one of the times i actually asked her when she would repay me. at this point my credit card was nearly maxed out from ubers and sending her money. i was anxious about it and she made me feel bad for asking because her situation was worse than mine. this was the same day she asked me for $250 for a down payment on her car. X asking for money. X making me feel bad for asking when she’s gonna pay.

literally to this day im still in credit card debt because of this. yes i make good money, yes my husband does too. but credit card debt is hard and everyone knows it. i do fine for myself, but i don’t have hundreds extra to pay this down. 

also, i cannot locate the bank screenshot. but as recent as this february, six months since she spoke to me, she still had my card on her uber and usted it again. i can’t find the screenshot of the actual of the bank transaction because i’ve completely had to close that account for fraud and transfer my balance to a new card. but here is a screenshot from february 12 where i tell my friends i caught her doing it. X .

manipulation in groups/related to groups

orbis. i ran a group called orbis, it was a reality show group. addy was one of my friends who really wanted me to open it. all of my groups i’ve adminned i’m the lead. i just always take on that roll so i do get very busy with them on top of my real life. i work full time and i’m a mom so i spread myself thin.she made me feel really guilty for this, saying i wasn’t giving her enough time, she wasn’t anyones dog. so i posted my unfollow. then she told me i was stupid for doing that. so i deleted my unfollow. then she said that me deleting my unfollow showed that i didn’t really care how she felt. screens. X X

lumeer. very similar situation to above. only this time i left the group completely for about 3 weeks. i called my coadmin crying about what she was doing to me, sent her the psds and templates for grpahics and left fully, though i helped them out if issues arose/they needed anything. 

impulse. this was recently and this got brought to the tags. im going to copy & paste what i sent to bumkeyz as far as the story goes for what happened.

“ what happened in impulse is only one of several examples of addy being awful in groups i've adminned. this goes back to our friendship but specifically here's what happened in impulse. addy played a character named briar, the other characters involved were as mentioned in other posts loki & khalil (fai fc). one of he first days of the group khalil hooked up with both loki & briar. when the "updates" account posted about loki & khalil's hook up (we posted any and all plot drops that were sent in, it was a reality show so we consistently updated what the cameras caught), briar got upset on main. addy then messaged khalil's mun ooc and asked for the plot to be erased. essentially because she didn't like that khalil had hooked up with both her and another girl in the same day/same manor. as odd of a request as i was the khalil mun agreed to wipe it & asked that if there was anything that ever came up again that made addy uncomfortable to please not hesitate to dm. addy then softblocked khalil. which is strange. why soft block with briar's reason to dislike khalil has been wiped? that night addy posted on her personal tumblr hiqey "i forgot all fai khadra fcs are weirdos" or soemthing along that line. the khalil mun reasonably got uncomfortable with that, but was softblocked & didn't tell the main. they just ignored it since their characters weren't interacting now. for the next few days addy continued to shade khalil and loki on main, despite any ic reason for disliking them being wiped. loki then approached briar IN CHARACTER asking what was wrong/why she was shading/why they didn't like her. i don't know all the details of that conversation, but i know it ended with loki saying she was going to block briar & briar saying that was fine. bear in mind the admins had no idea any of this was happening at this point. addy then dmed the main, playing victim. after more shading of khalil, khalil's mun decided to block briar as well. addy despite wiping this plot and having 0 ic communication with khalil continued to shade the characters ic. so addy dmed the main playing innocent. asking for us to have them unblock, saying she had no idea why they blocked or what she did. as admins we had no idea why either, figured it was something ic so we dmed both muns. khalil's mun agreed after some hestiation, and asked if they had to follow her and i said no. they didn't elaborate. loki's mun however refused, & i'm glad she did because she told us what was going on. of course once we were told everyting we didn't make her unblock. up until we told addy that we were not going to make those muns unblock her, she was extremely sweet to us. she praised us on her rpt. said she loved the group. fed the main compliments. but when she didn't get her way out of us, and was essentially told on, she started causing issues on the timeline with different characters. she sent us a dm on the main telling us to "learn how to handle your group melanie" and deactivated before i could get a chance to reply. “

what i didn’t tell bumkeyz is that deejay/rpslayed played khalil. another example of addy’s manipulation is that when she saw deejay getting anons she followed deejay and texted her after several months of no communication, starting to tell her side of the story and play innocent -- not knowing that deejay was the person who was behind khalil the entire time. she made khalil out to be the bad guy, not knowing that it was deejay. after finding out deejay and i were friends, when deejay posted on rpslayed for people to follow me shortly after trying to get deejay on her side, addy blocked us both (again). 

manipulation between friends (?)

i don’t really know a great way to title this, but this is similar to the situation i mentioned with the unnamed person above -- how addy made me think that person was the worst so i would stop being friends with them. this is a few more examples of that.

the entire time i was friends with addy, she told me that deejay hated me. she told me that deejay was convinced that i was this person who tried to get her kicked out of a group. she told me that she did her very best to convince deejay that it wasn’t true, but no matter what she did deejay just hated me. nearly a year later deejay and i cross paths in a group. we started talking ooc and i mentioned this. i asked her why she thought that was me. we found out that basically, while addy was telling me she was trying to convince deejay it wasn’t me, she was telling deejay that it was me. she would also tell me personal information about deejay that i had no business knowing, whether it be real life information or just telling me the groups deejay adminned when she knew deejay didn’t want anyone knowing. 

i have found out recently that addy has recently been telling people a lie about when she came to visit me. on one evening when she visited me in june of 2019, we went to my friend’s house. we both drank, and smoked. i am someone who neither drinks nor smokes, and i got a very bad mix from it. my anxiety sky rocketed. i was crying on my friends couch practically paralyzed. i didn’t want to move. i felt sick. i felt scared. my friends were going to drive us back to my house and shortly before we were about to walk out addy said she needed to go to the hospital. my friend’s boyfriend drove her there, and when he came back they took me home. this night is very blurry for me. i remember barely being able to see straight, my friend helped me walk to and from the car. addy has told her friends that i refused to pick her up from the hospital that night, and i’ve now heard this from two of her close friends. when in reality, i was so far gone that not only was i sick and scared, but i couldn’t see straight. i had absolutely no ability to be behind a wheel. i’m not surprised she twisted this against me.

i provided a few people screenshots where addy was telling me to block them/trying to convince me that they were awful and hurting me. at the same time that addy was telling me this, she was doing the opposite to them -- to keep us apart. i believe this is some sort of power. always wanting to be everyones number one.

i don’t have a lot of screenshots for this, so i won’t go into much detail, but i can say on more than one occasion, or more than five or ten she told me who to and not to be friends with. told me to block people who had been our friends who were no longer friends with her. 

flat out manipulation.

i don’t want to go back through my texts too much honestly. it’s still a sore spot. it still sucks and it still hurts. but i think anyone and everyone involved with addy at some point or another has similar stories about the way she treats her friends. there were points where i begged. begged and begged her not to leave me. i can’t even count how many times she blocked and unblocked me. how many times she made me feel the worst and then came back. she came back because she knw i was there. and that my generosity was practically endless. i couldn’t say no to her, frankly i can’t say no to anyone. if anyone dmed me today and said hey i need $15 for a ride home. i’d probably send it. that’s just how i am. addy completely had me wrapped around her finger. to the point that i left friends who were good to me. i left my own groups i worked hard on. i nearly ended my engagement (which cannot be entirely blamed on her, but the relationship she and i had was built off lots of manipulation). i know that i could go find 100 screenshots and texts of her manipulating me but honest i just don’t want to do that to myself again. she has made me out to be the villain to anyone she can. i have had 2 different people tell me that she told them i say the n word, which is the furthest thing from the truth. i fear the things she’s said about me to people. if she can 100% make something up, what can she twist from actual arguments or issues we had? 

i know this sounds like a lot of rambling for nothing. but for nearly two years i’ve lived in fear in the rpc of addy. less so when we were friends. i’ve feared telling my side because i felt invalid. frankly even as i type this im scared. scared she’s already convinced everyone i’m awful and no one will read this or care. i just am thankful that this finally came to light. i am glad that i won’t feel scared anymore. roleplay is my one place to be free. as a mother, a full time worker, i don’t have a lot of time for hobby’s and frankly i don’t have a lot of them. i don’t draw, or read. i like to write. and i’m just thankful this can finally be lifted off me.

about me tag game thing

i was tagged by the wonderful @nothingunrealistic! thank you very much ily <3

under read more bc i was not capable of keeping my answers brief this time around

why did you choose your url?

this...was supposed to be a short explanation but it turned into quite a tale so strap in i guess because we are going on a ride. back in 2017 i was just getting into musical theatre rp and i was still feeling too shy to really talk to anyone ooc so i would just wait for people i wanted to interact with to post starter calls so i could just do things in character with them the easy way. So i did this with my friend cam, who posted a starter for me using a lyric from If I Could Tell Her. she linked the song so i could listen to it, so i did and i went ‘wait a minute, is that Ben Platt from Pitch Perfect?? (and other things too, but i only recognized his voice at the time bc of the acappella girl movies)’ and yes it certainly was.

i had zero idea what the plot of Dear Evan Hansen was about at that point, and for some reason based off Just That One Song and the poster art of who i assumed was Some Guy in a Polo Shirt i started to think it was about some jock guy who broke his arm and had an emo/goth friend who had either died or gone missing under mysterious circumstances. also i intuited that Evan had a crush on his friend’s sister but he couldn’t tell her that directly or his emo friend would kick his ass. so i was like mostly wrong, but a little bit right.

oh and i knew jared and alana were characters from the show bc cam said that they were i think?? but i had no idea what their role was. so after listening to if i could tell her, i listened to good for you and all i really got out of that was that evan the apparently not-jock guy had done...something... that really hurt jared and alana. and at that point i finally decided to go look up a plot synopsis and i found out i was waaay off base. but honestly this is why cast recordings should include scene dialogue in the songs bc otherwise you just get soundtracks like dear evan hansen where the songs have like. zero context. we really just go from waving through a window to for forever to sincerely me without like. any reason as to what is happening huh. It’s honestly not a surprise anymore that all those people on twitter had no idea the plot isn’t about gay teenagers.

anyways. cam was writing jared and she made a post at one point about wishing somebody would write alana and i was like ‘oh i could do that!’ (after i had actually Seen a bootleg and finally knew what the whole story was, of course) so i made a multimuse rp blog featuring alana beck, nabulungi hatimbi, chloe valentine and some other characters, and cam started sharing her headcanons with me that alana is trans, jared and alana were close friends when they were little kids but they sort of drifted apart as they got older and their priorities in life changed, jared was the first person alana came out to when she realized she’s trans, etc.

one night i started talking about wanting to pick a more theatre-relevant url for my blog and trans-[character name] urls were getting pretty popular, and at least 3 of the friends i made through rp had changed theirs to coordinating trans-[character name] and i think it was cam suggested i should make mine be trans-alana so i did. eventually i realized the unhyphenated version was available so i changed it to transalana with no hyphen and i have lived here ever since. sometimes i think about changing it but i feel like transalana has become a part of My Brand and i am not so great with coming up with cool names for things.

any side blogs? if you have them, name them and why you have them

in theory, i have sideblogs... i don’t really use them, but of the ones i do have, there is:

emsbookblog - this was supposed to be where i would post excerpts of the book that i’m working on, but i think i did that maybe one time roughly 2 years ago and then promptly forgot about it/got nervous about my writing and was scared to share anything else. the rest of the stuff that is there is assorted writing tips. i don’t really know what to do with it now. i probably should post all my little thoughts about em and anita and caleb there instead of infodumping on my main from time to time, but if i do that then i have to promo a sideblog and direct people over to it which is always annoying to me when i could just do it on this blog which is much easier

dearnovelhansen - this is basically no longer used, but was a sideblog i made specifically to talk/complain about the novel adaptation of Dear Evan Hansen which was about 3 years ago?? maybe? i can’t be trusted to understand the passage of time. but to summarize: i thought it was an honor just to have the story be made more accessible since many of us couldn’t see the stage performance, but i hated a lot of the creative liberties that were taken. my main grumbles are that everyone who isn’t evan or connor is done so dirty in the novel. connor’s still kind of done dirty in the book, but not as much as like. heidi, alana, jared, and zoe are.

horseisle3 - this one was meant to be a place where i could just enthusiastically post screenshots from hi3, but instead it turned into a blog where i occasionally reblog other players’ hi3 content and bitch about how bad the game admins are bc hi3 is the tumblr famous (infamous?) homophobic horse game. the game where it was once okay to call your club store the gulag bc according to their head of hr, ‘it’s just a russian word for prison’ but you can’t say ‘im gay’ without somebody accusing you of corrupting young children who play the game. unfortunately there aren’t very many good interactive horse games out there, so this one is still about as good as it gets. it’s either that or star stable and i don’t care about star stable.

mlaenie - i’ve had this url saved for i don’t even know how long. way way way back in the day when i wanted to escape from the clutches of the onceler fandom i abandoned my first blog where i basically had an alter ego i guess?? and i decided to just be myself on the new blog. i don’t fully remember who came up with it, but one of my sister’s mutuals suggested that if you scrambled the letters in your name you could come up with aesthetic-looking urls. so lauren’s url became lrauen, and to match with her mine became mlaenie, which i abandoned on tumblr after about a year or so? but have continued to use as my main username on twitter, reddit, youtube, xbox, steam, and discord. i barely ever use any of these accounts aside from twitter, steam, and xbox, but yeah. so i’ve decided to try and turn this empty sideblog into a place for video game thoughts maybe. we’ll see how long it lasts this time around.

how long have you been on tumblr?

i made my first tumblr account in december of 2010, but i didn’t understand how to use it at all or how to customize my theme to look cool and unique so i quickly abandoned it. i made a new account in september of 2011 after some kids at school and my sister told me i should and i have been trapped here with varying degrees of activity/inactivity ever since. i have witnessed the rise and fall of the lorax/onceler fandom, hyperfocused on lord of the rings, star wars and back to the future all at the same time, and for the past 4 years i’ve mostly been a musical theatre blog with assorted other fandom stuff mixed in. i feel i have seen everything and nothing, but mostly i’m just tired and bored.

do you have a queue tag?

no bc i don’t use a queue. i’ve tried using it in the past but i irrationally feel pressured to sustain a coherent theme to queued posts and my brain simply does not vibe with that so i just don’t use it at all anymore. Instead i instantly reblog or post several unrelated thoughts in succession and then don’t post again at all for 3 days. the way god intended

why did you start your blog in the first place?

my very first blog was intended to be a place for me to post all of my petz 5 animals’ profile info, but i didn’t have any understanding of how coding worked at all and i don’t think i really wanted to learn, either. so it just sat there, unused. my second attempt at blogging was as a classic rock fandom person, so as you can probably imagine i was pretty pretentious about ‘modern pop’ vs the beatles, the rolling stones, the who, the monkees, and so on. and then i slowly devolved into a lorax fandom blog and everything went to shit so i made a new blog for lord of the rings/the hobbit which later evolved to include star wars and back to the future blogging. and then for the past 4 years i’ve been mainly a musical theatre blog with other random stuff i like thrown haphazardly into the pot. wonderful.

why did you choose your icon/pfp?

because my url is transalana and two of my most prominent lgbt headcanons are that alana beck is trans and a lesbian. i gotta be shouting out @kinqmike though bc she’s the one i adopted the trans alana beck headcanon from in the first place!

why did you choose your header?

in 2017 i was hyperfixating on Dear Evan Hansen (and Be More Chill, but there weren’t many gif-able videos then considering it ran for a month in New Jersey in 2015 and there was only one yet-to-resurface 35 minute bootleg) so i just grabbed a random gif off of google. i really should get to replacing it with a new header of my own though. i just don’t know what i should do for it.

what’s your post with the most notes?

i have lost track of how many notes it has (i think it’s somewhere around 200 now?) but when Will Roland and George Salazar performed Two Player Game on Good Morning America, i posted a screencap of their Jeremy and Michael along with that one quiz answer meme that says stuff like ‘i want to see it grow up healthy’. i didn’t tag it with any ship names or anything because i was anxious about having it show up in the tags, but somebody who reblogged it from me did tag it as boyf riends and i firmly believe it took off because of that. i don’t think i make posts that are relevant enough to amass thousands of notes, even by accident. which is probably a good thing bc if i did i would have to block so many of them.

how many followers do you have?

on this blog? 175 according to the counter. how many of those are still real people and how many are bots and abandoned accounts? i have no idea.

how many people do you follow?

i try to keep it somewhere around 200. i think i’m sitting at 180 right now but i kind of need to go through and clear out the really inactive blogs.

have you made a shitpost?

let’s think about this for a second. i’ve been on tumblr for nearly 10 years. you might even be able to say i’ve made more than one. they’re just not what you would call...popular shitposts.

how do you feel about ‘you need to reblog this’ post?

that stuff makes me so incredibly anxious that i have to fight the urge to want to yeet my laptop or mobile device through the closest window whenever i read it, so i try very hard to avoid any sort of ‘if you don’t reblog this, i’m judging you’ posts. i find them very manipulative and not particularly helpful

do you like tag games?

yeah babey!! i just frequently forget to do them, but please know that if you have ever tagged me in a tag game i felt incredibly touched by the gesture and the @mention even if i completely forgot to do the thing afterward

do you like ask games?

i do! but also rip to literally anyone who has ever sent me an ask meme bc it takes me so long to answer them. i’m still working on a micro fic prompt from a few weeks ago. also, horrified to realized that it has in fact been a few weeks and not 3 days anymore.

which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

i don’t know that any are tumblr famous as a whole. but probably @neverheardnothing

do you have a crush on a mutual?

in any sort of romantic connotation? no. not that i’m aware of. there are mutuals that i have friend crushes on where i want to be friends with them but i get so anxious when it comes to meeting new people that usually nothing ever comes of it. i’m really not good at small talk or other casual conversation either which, as you may or may not be able to imagine, sucks. i just wanna skip over all of the awkward introductions and ‘hey how are you, how is life, what are you doing with yourself?’ stuff. not because i don’t care about it. i do, but i think most of my friends/the people i want to be my friends are also depressed and anxious so asking these basic questions about life tends to uh. make us all nervous. and i don’t do much with my life so i always have the most boring answers anyways.

i’m not tagging anyone officially bc the @ thing has just completely given up on me at this point, but if you want to do it, go for it. and then say i tagged you so i can read it c:

[wingxdsarcasm]

Since someone wants to name drop and give misinformation to people it doesn’t even involve, and won’t contact us in private. I decided its within my right to clear some things up.  First of all no one ever blocked anyone from having any plots or opinions, we had and still use a voting system. When admins don’t all agree we take a vote and whatever idea wins the vote wins. There is nothing but fairness in that and it still works for us as admins to this day. Some people just wouldn’t accept that they were outvoted and would get angry and felt threatened by the fact that we didn’t just bend to their every whim or strict rule they wanted to put in but then wave rules willy-nilly when they felt like it.

And for emotional abuse, putting admin issues on blast to people that it doesn’t involve sounds pretty fishy to me. Not to mention the one who wrote this post wasn’t involved at all as an admin in the group Transcendents and that one of those people who claim to be a ‘victim’ didn’t really want to give her any of the plot that the rest of admins were giving her (the whole idea that Katherine was a prince of the first circle of hell and took it from Cade cause Tvd didn’t have an in-depth lore for hell and we wanted to add Lucifer into the group and his demons. Yeah you’re welcome we fought for you to have that plot when someone was very angry we included you into the plot involving your character when you weren’t an admin to know that info before the plot drop, they wanted to suddenly spring it on you a month after you would have picked up the character)  As for the levels of hell you have nine instead of the seven we have and you keep talking about how you have the princes of hell based on supernatural and the levels but supernaturals hell doesn’t have levels of hell and the princes of hell in the show are mostly walking the earth not running a circle, which is what we have in our group. 

As for us bullying and attacking when we were told we couldn’t join, we simply asked why you would 1). Ask Adry to join, we have screenshots with you suggesting different roles she could pick up. Screenshot of you talking about how one of your co-admins was being mean to you and saying you were forcing them into a ship and just treating you terribly. 2). How an admin would say ‘oh we ask all our members about apps before replying’ but I know for a fact that you never asked all the members of your group, you asked two people that you knew had an issue with us personally as working admins together, had nothing to do with IC or even OOC in a group sort of things, it was all admin work they had an issue with and we never cussed them out, offer ill wishes or anything, we gave a clean break knowing we weren’t working out as an admin team. Took all the original ideas that each admin brought in and separated. 3). Discuss all the things I would need to change in the canon characters I was bringing in, cause I needed to just accept any and all or debate any plots for Bonnie that you the admin team makes for her. Or the changes I needed to make for Marcel cause you didn’t want him more powerful than any originals. I accepted all those terms in an hour long conversation only to be met with a denial so why waste everyone’s time with that? A power trip?

When we weren’t allowed to join the group that was using our ideas, yes we brought it to your attention that you were in fact using ideas from our group, that you all were part of at one time or another and made tiny changes trying to justify that its original. And then when we gave you screenshots of us giving these ideas to you, replied that they weren’t our ideas anymore. You say this group of yours has been in the works for a month well we first open our original group before Halloween, revamped and have been open for nearly a month. You add Shadowhunters from another group you and the others were in, yet have nothing actually from the show or books but the shadowhunter species and the nine levels of hell because you all have no idea about that fandom but what you saw from another group and knew you could twist our ideas and say that you got it from canon things. And lets not forget that Adry mentioned to you when you showed her the group that it was very close to ours and how she felt a certain way about it. 

Moving on to R, no one attacked her and using such aggressive language is unhelpful with getting info across. She was an admin in your group that took heavily from our group and took players from another group as well as our own. We felt that if she was on hiatus on our group as well as the other group she was in but could admin in another there was a conflict of interest and within our right to unfollow. She came to us after the fact to tell us you guilt trip her into joining, about how your other admin was being mean and that you needed her. And that everything was written out when she got there and she expressed that she was uncomfortable about how close everything in your group was to ours and you ignored her.

She also went on to tell us that she stepped down as admin because of this uncomfortableness with the whole thing. And yet here I am getting messages about you messaging people that are in our group spreading hate about things that are going on behind the scenes. So if we’re the hateful, emotional abusing ones and you need to warn your people then why are you messaging ours? Telling them we’re unfollowing them for no reason when they aren’t and never were on the unfollow list? When you’re putting people on blast using names well okay. Telling people that R didn’t step down as admin from group when we have screenshots of her saying she is. Then you manipulating her into not stepping down.

Ivy, Dagger, Tara, Tina, Poison 

Mimi

Sunny, Trix, Kylie

Like why are you joining your own group under different names and joining other groups under different names when people know its you. And I’ll blast myself thanks, I have used, Gabby, X, J, Brie and Moe but when I admin I don’t join my own group under random names and I certainly haven’t gone to any of your people to tell them all the things you all have done nor made up random crap to start fights.

The Sword and The Hairpin

(Tsugikuni Yoriichi x First Breathe of Flower user! Reader)

Summary: Yoriichi had left, and you are torn because you never told Yoriichi how you really feel about him, but he left you something...

Admin's note: This is like first Kimetsu no Yaiba FF/Scenario I ever made, I made this because I'm bored and this is going to make you confused since I'm a novice writer, and it might be OOC since I don't know much about Yorichii's personality

----

"Thank you for visiting us again (name), i'm very sorry that you had to watch over our child" Sumiyoshi said as he serve you a riceball and tea as you drop by to see him, Suyako and their child, you smiled and shook your head as you cradle the sleeping baby in your arms "It's fine, Sumiyoshi, you know how I really fond of children, Is Suyako okay? Did she fell asleep again?"

Sumiyoshi smiled fondly at his wife who is sleeping peacefully with a smile on her face "She is, and don't worry about her, she did sleep all the time" you smiled as you looked at their sleeping son in your arms again, like mother like son, Suyako's son is a heavy sleeper just like his mother.

"but (name), i'm sure you came here not only for a mere visit" he said as he looked up at the spring sky, you looked at him, tilting your head, slightly perplexed "What do you mean, Sumiyoshi?" Sumiyoshi just smiled softly at you as you handed his son to him "You can't fool us, (name), I knew you're also here for Yoriichi-san"

You nearly spewed out your green tea as he said that "W-who me? No, I'm not! I... I'm not here because of him... You know?" you were lying, of course you pay a visit to Kamado family house just to see "that-handsome-man-with-hanafuda-earrings" too, Sumiyoshi knows you're lying as he just smiled softly and he stares at you as if he could see through your lies "You needn't lie to me about it, (Name)"

Once again, he looked up at the sky while slightly rocking his infant son "I knew all about it, (Name), Suyako and I notice at how comfortable you are with him, something tells me you had a thing for him" Sumiyoshi's smile then falter from his face "But I'm afraid Yorichii-san will never come back"

The faint blush on your face faded as Sumiyoshi mention that Yoriichi will never come back, you looked at him forlornly "But... Why?"

"Can't say I understand either" he said heaving a sigh "He really helped us for many times and had it not him I, then much less my child wouldn't be here" you just stayed silent as you take a bite of the riceball, trying to not wallowing in sadness since you won't see him again.

You remembered your conversation with him few days ago...

You were visiting your friend, Suyako and bring her a basket full of vegetables for her and Sumiyoshi, You noticed Sumiyoshi and Yoriichi is having another conversation about things you could not understand, "Ah, (name), do you mind waiting for a spell? I have to put my son to sleep, it's supposed to be his naptime now"

You smiled and nodded "I don't mind waiting" Suyako just smile and went to get her son, you looked back at Sumiyoshi who rushed to the kitchen "(Name), Can you keep Yoriichi-san a company? I need to pour him some tea"

"I, umm... I don't mind, I guess"

"Thank you, I promise I won't take a long time" he said as he headed to the kitchen, as he gone, you looked at Yoriichi, who is staring at the cherry blossoms that recently blooms and listening to the chirping birds and he twiddled with what seem looked like a wooden flute, there's a glimmer of sadness carved on his face as he turn his attention to the flute.

Tentatively, you approached him "You seem having a lot things in your mind, Yoriichi-san..." you feel a little bit uncomfortable as he didn't respond, not long later, he spoke up "Sometimes there are many things that haunt your mind that you couldn't help but think about it"

You hummed in respond and sit next to him "That's a beautiful flute you have there, Yoriichi-san..."

A small smile plastered on his handsome face as he looked at his flute "Aniue gave me this flute when we were just a pair seven year old" he looked at it for a long time before he spoke up "No matter where I go, everytime I looked at this flute, it reminded me so much about my brother it's as if he was with me as I carried this flute"

A soft smile plastered on Yoriichi's usual stoic face, you can't help but blush slightly at him "N-no wonder you really fond of that flute, Yoriichi-san..."

He just nodded in response, then gently placed it on his lip as he blow the simply carved wooden flute, it sound was... Off note, maybe because it was made by a child's hand.

But despite that, Yoriichi smiled.

You thought he really had a very beautiful smile "Whoever your brother is, he must be a great person..."

"It's because he is..." Yoriichi said not looking up from the wooden flute "I have always think this flute... As him"

You wondered, whatever happened to his brother? Did he gone missing or something perhaps? You just stay quiet since it's none of your business... "Were you ever wish to see him again and hope you could spend time with him peacefully, Yoriichi-san?"

Yoriichi stayed quiet for a while then looked at you "I do... I wish I could spend my life with him drinking tea together, train together, playing shogi and talk about so many things" he paused for a while "Do you perhaps have someone you dearly love?"

Of course you do, your little sister and brother, they were the only ones who are left after your parents died from demon's attack"Yes, of course I do..."

Yoriichi looked at you for a while and say "I hope you always protect them from anything that could harm them or corrupt them"

You were confused, why did he said that all of a sudden? "I will always protect them even if it cost my life, Yoriichi-san, I may only have inadequate knowledge of fighting since I'm just a novice swordwoman but that doesn't mean I can't stand tall for the lives of those who I care about"

You catch Yoriichi looking at you with a wry smile "You're far better than me... (name)"

It's the first you hear your name from Yoriichi's mouth

"What do you mean, Yoriichi-san?"

But he did not answer, instead his eyes met yours before he spoke up again "Fate is such a peculiar thing, you don't know what disaster and misfortune that might befallen upon you or what blessing you will get in your life, I want you to prepare your heart with what lies ahead, don't be like me... You and Sumiyoshi thought I'm somekind of special human...But I am not"

He looked at his flute again

"I couldn't achieve what needs to be achieved and I failed to protect a single thing that is precious to me, I am no man of worth..."

You looked at him, you internally begged him to not see himself like that

"That being said, (Name), till that day comes I want you to promise me to always stand guard and shield those who you love, physically and mentally, can you do it for me?"

"I promise"

"That's all I can ask of you, (Name)"

"Hey, Sumiyoshi?"

"Yes, (Name)?"

You take a deep breath and looked at him "Do you think... I could be a great samurai... Like Yoriichi-san?"

Sumiyoshi stayed silent for a while before he smiled "I'm sure you can, (Name), You're a remarkable swordswoman, If that's your dream then don't hesitate to fight for it and chase it"

You sipped your tea as you looked up at the clear sky, even in such a beautiful season like this, Yoriichi must have been fighting to eradicate the demons that plagued the land, putting an ease in heart of many anxious people...

He worked so hard while you just sit back and watch, the thought made you teared up a little "Are you alright, (Name)?" Sumiyoshi ask in concern, you wiped your tears away and nodded "I'm okay, just thinking about something sad" you said as you give him a sad smile "Anyways, thanks for the tea, I have to go back home now, I'll drop by again later" you say as you stood up "Ah, Wait, before you go, I have something for you!"

Sumiyoshi then lay his son on the futon and get something, once he's back, he had something wrapped in white cloth "Yoriichi-san asked me to give you this right before he go" you blinked as you accept the gift Yorichii got for you, "Ah, I see, well thanks very much, Sumiyoshi, I'll see you later"

As you reach your house, your siblings intrigued with your gift "Ooh, whatcha got there, nee-san?" your brother said as he looked at the gift "Is it a new kimono? I'm so jealous that you got a new one!" your sister say frowning as you just chuckled "No, it's not a new kimono (S/N), it's just something from a friend..." you said as you looked at it "Well don't keep the suspence! Open it nee-san!" your brother said "Hahaha, okay, okay, yeesh, so impatient" you carefully unwrapped your gift and to find...

A sword and A hairpin

The sword has a flower shaped shuba* wrapped in (F/C) samegawa* "Wow! What a cool sword!" your brother said as he admire it, you take a look at it and as you unsheathed your sword the blade turns pale pink, your siblings looked at it in awe "It changes color as you touched it, nee-san! What do you think this could mean?"

You have no idea what just happen either

"Ah, this hairpin is really pretty!" your sister said as she admired the hairpin of your (F/F) you noticed there's a letter on the cloth

"To (Last name) (name)"

"A letter...?" your siblings looked at you then share a look "Um, do you need some privacy, Nee-san?" your sister asked as you inspected the letter

"...Yes, please..."

As your siblings left, You carefully opened the letter and read it

Dear (Name)

If you read this letter, you know that means we won't see each other again, I can't just stay at Sumiyoshi's place for a long time, I still have to kill every demons that loitering around the land, forgive me for not able to be by your side when you need me the most, in exchange, I would like you to have this sword: The Nichirin blade, I asked the villagers of the Swordsmith Village to make you this, so that you're able to protect those who you care about.

You are a talented and skilled swordswoman, (Name), the blade will change the colour as you grab a hold to it

And the hairpin? Hm, you could say it's just a little of my token of appreciation for you, I really enjoyed your company and our conversation together, you put my heart and mind at ease, I hope you like it, Sumiyoshi told me that (F/F) is your favorite flower, so I bought the kanzashi in thought it will make your beauty even more prominent.

Remember to protect those who are the most precious to you, (Name).

I do hope one day we will see each other again, I will always think about you and I will always remember you, even if I have draw my last breath and that my body no longer exists.

May our paths cross, Dearest (Name)

Tsugikuni Yoriichi

You couldn't help but burst into tears, you held the hairpin close to yout chest as tears dripping down to the letter he wrote for you, "I really do hope our paths will cross, Yoriichi-san..." you looked at the sword as you see your own reflection on it, there are no more tears in your eyes, only determination

"I swear I will protect them and not letting them corrupted in any forms and I swear that I will find you too, Yoriichi-san..."

You were interrupted by a soft knock and the voice of your brother "Um, Nee-san, are you done? I think it's time for us to practice now"

"Oh! I'm sorry, (B/N). I'll be right over!" you put your sword back to its samegawa and look at it for a long time before you hold it close to you

"I love you, Yoriichi..."

*Admin's feral scream*

Hello everyone, Admin fifteen here! So this is like, my very first KnY related fanfiction, I'm terribly sorry for the nonsense, inaccuracies and everything! I'm just new in this fandom, but I can't help myself, I'm so sorry that you did not enjoy the story, I promise I will do harder and better *bows*

Ah, I, also I don't mind taking requests, please don't be shy to share me your ideas, thank you very much

Samegawa: Sheath

Shuba: Hilt

Admin's note #2: Back in edo period, men always give their potential wife a kanzashi as proposal item, Yoriichi and reader lived in sengoku era so it's not really a marriage proposal (yet)

A SELECTION OF SMALL EVENTS // JULY 1978

July 1978 has officially begun, and lots is going on in the world – politically, historically and, yes, even socially. Participation in these events is just a suggestion in order to get new threads and connections in motion on the dash at the start of a new “month” (and before some bigger, war-related events are rolled out in the coming weeks)! 

There are a selection of events happening within the first two weeks of July, including...

What’s Happening? 

#001: DIAGON ALLEY OPEN-AIR MARKET & PUB CRAWL

Characters Who Can Participate: All 

Event Information: In an effort to boost small businesses and encourage people to put aside their fear and come back into the ever-thinning crowds of Diagon Alley, the shopkeepers association is sponsoring an open-air market and pub crawl, during which all of the Alley’s shops will be opening their doors, selling things from carts on the street and bright tents set up above the cobblestones. The event is intended to encouraging mingling, browsing, impulse buys, good times with friends and confidence that it’s safe to patronize the Alley despite recent events. 

#002: ANNUAL SOCIETY FOR THE UPKEEP OF WIZARDING HISTORICAL ARTIFACTS INVITATION-ONLY CHARITABLE AUCTION 

Characters Who Can Participate: Purebloods, primarily from upper- and upper-middle tier families; a few exceptions based on reasonable plot circumstances (close friends of the Warringtons who are hosting, pre-approved members of the media, etc.) 

Event Information: The Society for the Upkeep of Wizarding Historical Artifacts is throwing its annual charitable auction – though this year’s event promises to be the most expensive yet, and no specific charitable beneficiary has been named. Colloquially known as SUWHA, the Society is a private, jointly-funded collection, primarily owned and founded four decades ago by a distant DeRosier cousin. SUWHA’s board is made up of high-ranking purebloods, the majority of them rich, socialite housewives, and states its mission as ‘protecting, procuring and passing-down artifacts that properly tell the story of Wizarding History’s most prominent personage.’ 

It is almost certainly a tax scheme – if not something more nefarious – but the canape is always delicious. 

The year’s event is being held in the home of Marya and Tyler Warrington Jr. and will consist of a silent auction, a more formal traditional auction for some higher-ticket items, a four-course meal and dancing. Attire is black tie.

Because the event is, as always, largely invitation-only, the winners of the auctions are usually past owners of the same items...and future owners of the items they donated this time around. What is ‘passing money around in a circle for sport’ if not the pureblood society’s favorite pastime? 

#003: MINISTRY OF MAGIC EMPLOYEE APPRECIATION PICNIC 

Characters Who Can Participate: Current Ministry of Magic Employees and their families 

Event Information: The Ministry of Magic is hosting its annual employee appreciation picnic on a sunny, warm Saturday. The event is being held from 11:00 until 18:00; portkeys have been set up from the Ministry itself to the remote, countryside field where the picnic is taking place. Entertainment includes live music, a large luncheon spread, pickup games of Quidditch, and relentlessly polished networking taking place while everyone pretends to be so down to earth and having such a good time getting sunburned. Alcohol will be provided; bug-repelling elixirs will not, and must be brought from home. 

OOC Information & Logistics 

Starters for the above events can be posted now through Sunday, October 25th at 11:59pm ET. 

As we ladder up to the Order training camp / Barns event, which will take place soon, the admin team wanted to provide some smaller, structured, not-quite-full-plot-events to keep our characters busy and forge new connections! 

Participation in one or more of these events is COMPLETELY OPTIONAL; characters can be as involved or uninvolved as you (as a writer) have time for, or as you feel makes sense for your characters’ respective interests, station in society, personality and current plots. 

For Order member planning purposes:

In-game, the Barns training event will account for the last two weeks of July 1978

In real time, the event will begin the evening of Sunday, October 25th and will have a starter window of 2-3 weeks, given the level of worldbuilding involved  

Starters connected to this event do NOT need a special tag (just the normal #WhoIsLeftStarter tag for open starters), but starters should make it clear in the title and/or body text where they are taking place and who they are open to. 

We encourage closed starters for plotted threads, open starters to welcome new interactions, gif chats, paras, etc. (Just do be sure that if you’re posting open starters, you’re also jumping onto the starters of others – to keep things equitable.)

The Barns: A Worldbuilding Refresher

And, as an additional OOC reminder, please see below the cut for anyone with an Order of the Phoenix member character who’d like a worldbuilding refresher on the upcoming Barns Training Event (since we reference it so often on the main!) 

Worldbuilding: The Barns 

The Order of the Phoenix has an annual tradition of taking all its members – both old and new, but with a dedicated focus on training up the new recruits – out for a two week session at the Barns. 

The Barns is the catch-all name for the rambling, isolated farm used for training up both the hard- and soft-skills of the Order members. 

The property is affectionately named for the large, ancient red barn that stands at the center of the property – the site of meetings during the day, members sat upon bales of hay and the straw-lined ground – but, crucially, nights full of hard-drinking, necessary partying and downright hedonistic bonding between all of the Order’s members once the commanding officers and more imposing leaders have gone to bed for the night. 

There are other buildings of note, too – a washed-out and cozy farmhouse, made of creaking floorboards and tartan couches, largely off limits during the training weeks and reserved for housing the commanding officers, including Moody himself, those on brief stretches of cooking-and-dish duty, and a few comfortable, much-coveted bedrooms that veteran members have only claimed for themselves after years of service and lots of stubbornness. 

Where does everyone else sleep? Well – the Main Barn is surrounded by long-out-of-service smaller barns and buildings that were stables in a past life. Now filled with rows of bunk beds, they are the sight where sore bodies lay down after days of training (and nights of partying) to await the daybreak wakeup calls, and surprise emergency drills to keep them on their toes. There is a STRICT no-bed-sharing rule that almost nobody follows, but often pretends to when Moody hobbles through for a sudden inspection. 

As for the days, they are spent out in the pastures. Dueling, defense and drill practice take place on meadows were sheep once grazed, members paired up for practice and others sitting by, perched on ancient wooden log-fences to cheer them on or take bets on the match-ups. Rain or shine, those fields are where Order recruits are molded into true Order members, gaining injuries and grass stains alongside new knowledge and new confidence to take on the evils of the world.

THE SOCIETY WELCOMES YOU.

When the last of the invitations have been sent out, thick envelopes sealed in red wax and stamped with an emblem that means so many things so as to mean nothing at all, there is only the air of careful expectation. For many, this is the chance that they’ve all been waiting for, the history of their families drummed up for them since childhood onward; for others, it is an invitation to a strange and unknown world, one that is beyond their wildest imaginations and could eat them alive if they aren’t careful. Whatever the case, their lives will never be the same ever again.

THE SOCIETY IN ROME.

SETTING: Rome, Italy // pre-22nd of April 2020 

One by one, they gather unto Rome, that ever-eternal city that has been the cradle of their society ever since the beginning. It receives them fully, wholeheartedly, and the city opens up before them in a way that it doesn’t for anyone else, as if eager to welcome her children back home. Both members and initiates are allowed special access to places of history, privileged loci of authority that seem to speak of a brighter and better age, where they occupied the halls of power in a more visible position. It is these monuments and these artefacts and these buildings that impresses upon them the legacy which they are heirs to today, the duty they must carry if they are to do justice by their birthright: they are the torchbearers and the luminaries of their age. Power and wealth has been given to them for their enjoyment and perusal, yes, but noblesse oblige compels them to use this power for the greater good—for why else would they be blessed with such privilege? They are the beautiful and the chosen, equipped with authority and the right to rule and the adulation of the masses, and this is the time to mark what is theirs.

THE EVENTS.

A mass at St. Peter’s Basilica: For all those faithful (or professing to be faithful), a mass at St. Peter’s Basilica has been offered, with the Pope himself reportedly to give indulgences to any who seek it immediately afterwards. Let it not be said that the society has forgotten its roots, its special relationship with the Church, and the soft power that the institution still wields.

Exclusive tour of the Vatican Museums: After the mass, the members and initiates of the society are invited for a privileged tour of the Vatican Museums. Members and initiates alike can spend any number of hours inside, free to come and go as they please, with the Museums closed for a whole day (supposedly for “maintenance”) just for their own leisure.

Fine dining at Pierluigi: Pierluigi has transformed from trattoria to tourist spot, claiming world leaders and celebrities as its clientele. Serving fresh fish caught daily at the nearby comune of Ostia, this trattoria offers several seafood-based plates that is sure to be the talk of any who taste its fine maritime delights—and the society has managed to capture a permanent reservation for any member or initiate who wish to experience one of Rome’s best restaurants.

A tour of Rome underground: Above ground, the capital of the world is a majestic many-splendored thing, awash in the glory of the dawn; below ground, it is a mysterious, snaking, sly thing. Swaddled in darkness, there are labyrinthine crypts that can prove one’s end if one is not careful, each turn seeming like the other, the rows of bones in crypts almost haunting. There is the Capuchin Crypt, the Roman Catacombs, and the San Clemente Basilica—all of which can be freely explored with a competent and knowledgeable guide should any daring member or initiate wish to do so.

THE NEW MOON GATHERING.

SETTING: Palazzo della Fraternita // 22nd of April 2020

Here, at last, the culmination of their stay in the eternal city, the reason for their moot in Rome in the first place. The events prior have only been a taste of the vast control that the society could offer them, and now the curtains have been drawn. All masks are off. The tables have been set and all that’s needed is for them to find their place in the tableau. The dawning of the day comes like any other, but it would be wholly a lie to say that this day hasn’t been anticipated. For most of the initiates, this marks their first entry into the society, a journey that will hopefully take them from their middling rank of today to established archons that wield power with the full authority of the society.

Yet for all its love of tradition, the society itself seems to be on a precipice. Never before have they welcomed a batch of initiates this large, and the presence of new money is an unwelcome change for some who wish to keep the identity of the society static and unchanging. The Grand Archon sits on his throne, unmoved and unmoving, as if blind to the whispers and recent developments of the society itself. He is barely even there: a wisp of a shadow of a memory. Blink, and it is as if he disappears. Yet it it is through his machinations that the society has somewhat democratised, he the sole reason for the mass influx of new initiates. There is the feeling of something inevitable, but who knows what?

Through it all: the clinking of wine glasses, the twinkle of crystal chandeliers, the soft lull of piano music in the air. There is the air of civility and sophistication that abounds in the air, forced smiles and laughter like bells resounding in the rooms of the palazzo. All dressed up as they are, it is as if there is nothing wrong with them—a common habit of the privileged, one that has chosen to bare its venomous fangs for this special day. 

THE TIMELINE OF EVENTS.

An introduction of the society: The day kicks off with the society gathering in the Palazzo della Fraternita. It is meant to be a quiet event that would take up most of their time up until their luncheon, allowing initiates and members alike to get to know each other a little better in quiet conversation. Some of them might already know each other from before—after all, the society is populated by a cast whose last names are familiar with one another—but there are some whose claim to both power and wealth are evergreen and new, a fact which seems to bring a scowl to some of the society’s more established members. Elsewhere, there are cards and board games, decks made from when rococo was still in vogue and even older, and the chessboard pieces are crafted as crystal and hewn with precious gems, as if every display of wealth and power is to be ostentatious as possible, never once letting a single one of them forget the privilege that the society offers its members. 

Luncheon at La Pergola: Come lunchtime, the society is ushered towards atop a towering hotel. The society’s luncheon gives them a privileged place upon which to gaze at the whole of Rome and the Vatican, offered up to them like the oysters that now decorate their fine china plate. They are served course upon course of sumptuous meals, each plate upstaging the last, and offering every sort of cuisine that the mind can imagine—though, of course, there is a certain tendency towards Italian food, a proud emblem of the eternal city’s nourishment of the society seemingly materialising on their plates.

A showing of Mozart’s Don Giovanni: After their luncheon at La Pergola, they are led towards an exclusive showing of Don Giovanni at the Teatro dell’Opera di Roma, blocked out just for them, with endless champagne and scrumptious hors d’ouvres served on scintillating silver plates during the intermission.

Dinner at the Palazzo: The day ends where it begins. The society congregates once more to the Palazzo to cap off their whole day. Yet another sumptuous feast is provided; but the restrictions on decorum and etiquette are eased somewhat. Conversation flows just as easily as wine from the vintage bottles sourced from the nearby vineyards. 

OOC NOTE.

And that officially starts the first event for GILDEDHQ! Just to recap: all members and initiates have been invited to Rome for the 22nd of April, 2020. However, as the society understandably realises that most members will probably be arriving a few days before the actual day itself, it has deigned to organise a very many number of things with which your muse can participate in to pass the time as they wait for the 22nd of April to come. These events are not mandatory, but they should serve as easy starting-off points for starters and the like should you wish to plot out your characters meeting before the Gathering itself. Of course, you are not limited to these events should you so wish to set up a starter in some other place.

The New Moon Gathering itself takes the course of one day. Members and initiates alike are expected to come to the Palazzo della Fraternita to mingle with one another and “formally” acquaint themselves with one another—even if they already know each other before! This is one of the intricate rituals of the society, passed down since time immemorial, and there’s nothing the society loves more than tradition. The schedule is tightly packed and there are almost no opportunities to diverge from the list of events as dictated by the society. Theoretically speaking, your muse can diverge from the event—walk out of Don Giovanni, for example, or disappear completely after the luncheon—but this will have quite significant repercussions for your character and will need admin approval beforehand.

You are encouraged, but not required, to post starters, photosets of your muse, and anything at all related to the event with the tag gilded:new moon. Please only write starters set up until the 22nd of April, as there will be a second part to this event.

————— THIS EVENT WILL RUN FOR ONE WEEK FROM  [ 22ND OF APRIL 4PM GMT / 12NN EASTERN ]  TO  [ 29TH OF APRIL 4PM GMT / 12NN EASTERN ]
