#(we could easily go !!! about our respective muses)

[familiaanteomnia]

Alone, was the best possible circumstances and also waves of pain. Yet no idea of where, or when. Wind tunnel of whirlwind intense emotions being felt too strongly. Not ready, mystery that didn't want to be figured out or charted. The whole topic had been meant for entirely different circumstances. So had no idea that it, repressing it was practically an beacon of energy. Like an cosmically sadistic fingerprint. Not even an thought in their mind. Too focused on fighting it; bargaining that being able to stand on their feet meant could suppress it. The emotions, all the pain which only magnified with stubborn refusal. Unable to notice when no longer alone; too much internal wiring going haywire to which swayed more on their feet. "This is so insufferably laughable." Grumbling the words to themself to try help with circumstances.

respond to the following prompts out of character, then tag others you'd like to get to know a little bit better.

Roleplayer name: miranda

Roleplayer pronouns: she/her

Muse name: bear with me i have a lot here: morgan le fey, violet sorrengail, harmonia, astoria greengrass, annie cresta, clove kentwell, éponine thénardier, aelin galathynius, amaya danaan, elide lochan, feyre archeron, natasha romanoff, wanda maximoff, and allya zaldas are all on the roster (currently testing visenya targaryen and lysandra ennar; disco muses are bryce quinlan, francesca bridgerton, and sif asyjursdottir)

Preferred communication: i like disco the most bc i find that tumblr eats dms

Experience: i started rping here on tumblr 12 years ago ? (oh god ... ) in hunger games simulators. i moved to my first rp group about 11 years ago to write annie cresta (my oldest muse) and got up the courage to join the indie community 10 years ago with morgan's predecessor blog (a bbcm morgana)

Preferred roleplay type: i can jive with anything, but i think my sweet spot is about two paras with no icons. they just tend to be the threads i can get to fastest based on my work schedule

Pet peeves & dealbreakers: generally being pushy or being a dick ? look this is a hobby and we're all here to have fun. respect other people's opinions and their right to set their boundaries. i took a two year writing hiatus because of how icked out i got after being forced into very uncomfortable shipping situations i made clear multiple times i wasn't okay with. i think we just need to remember that there's a real person on the other side of the screen who deserves our kindness and consideration

Plots or memes: both !! memes are such an easy stress-free way to test the waters or even new dynamics. if we've never written ? send a meme. if we've written forever but you want to explore a ship ? send a meme. i'll love you forever either way. same with plots. i'm easily excitable in disco when you get me talking about my muses and i'll just throw ideas out into the wild. they don't all have to turn into something, but i LOVE fleshing out dynamics and scenes

Best time to write: generally the time between my evening shower and going to bed. i'll write a thread or two to relax before falling asleep

Are you like your muse? i don't think i'm exactly like any one muse, but i choose muses that i relate to in some aspect, so in that way i'm in all of the characters i choose to write. i'd like to think i'm studious like vi/astoria/elide. i believe in kindness above all like harmonia/annie/amaya. i aim to be crafty like morgan/aelin/feyre/nat. i struggle sometimes but always try to right my wrongs in the end like clove/ép/wanda/allya. i also choose muses of a certain archetype, typically those who face massive amounts of adversity, but still come out on the otherside. idk what that says about me, but maybe a psych major out there could tell me xD

Tagged by: my loves @ofanswereddreams and @meaercies

Tagging: i'm late in responding to this so idk who has and hasn't done this yet but i WANT TO KNOW ABOUT ALL MY MUTES SO MY ENTIRE FOLLOW LIST IS TAGGED (sorry no cheating you've been tagged)

Prologue part three

TW: Injury, Implied death

< previous | next > | all >>

The snow was melting, and the grass was starting to come back. It was Newleaf, finally. Nightpaw had spent the last moon of leafbare with her new friends and old family as an apprentice, something she had once thought impossible.

Shimmerpaw, Sandpaw, and Gingerpaw were close good friends by this point. Leopardcloud had just had her kits, so Nightpaw had mostly been training with Firestorm and Shimmerpaw.

Currently, the four apprentices were having a little spar. Well, it was more like Sandpaw and Gingerpaw pummeling Shimmerpaw while Nightpaw sat off to the side. She was a bit distracted at the moment.

“Do you think Sunspot will let Nightpaw come with up to the Gathering this moon?” a muffled question came from Shimmerpaw.

Sandpaw shrugged. “Who knows what my mother will do.”

“I hope so.” Gingerpaw mused, “I think you deserve to come with us this time. You need to meet the other clans.”

“Yeah… I hardly remember them. I know Grangeclan used to be a big ally of ours, but I can’t remember much about Marshclan and Treeclan.”

“Well, for starters… there isn’t a Marshclan anymore.” Shimmerpaw started, “They took Bayclan’s old territory and reformed into something called Swampclan.”

“Swampclan…” Nightpaw looked away, her thoughts stuck on the past.

“Something on your mind?” Sandpaw asked.

“It’s just… I’ve played it over in my head tons and tons of times, but I don’t get it. Why did Marshclan attack?”

Gingerpaw, Shimmerpaw, and Sandpaw all looked uncomfortable.

“I heard they wanted the Great Lake.” Shimmerpaw mentioned. “Rainfeather and Starleaf were talking about it.”

Gingerpaw interjected, “We shouldn’t speculate about this—”

“At the Gathering, I heard a few of the apprentices talking about some prophecy. Maybe that’s it?” Sandpaw said.

“A prophecy…” Nightpaw thought for a moment, “that might be it. My mother participated in a prophecy when she was younger. They tend to make cats… do things they wouldn’t normally.”

“Well, we can’t really know,” Gingerpaw said nervously, “and I’d really not like to speak it into existence.”

The four heard a noise behind them.

Nightpaw could see Lionmane, one of the warriors, running towards them.

“Apprentices! We need you back at camp, quickly!”

“What’s going on?!” Shimmerpaw asked.

“Swampclan’s been spotted at the border with what looks like an invasion force! The nursery needs protection— now!”

Nightpaw met her friends’ eyes. This was serious.

—

When they made it back to camp, all Nightpaw could think of was that fateful day as a kit. Blazestar’s horrified face as she fought off her attacker was burned into her mind.

Things would be different now, she thought. She wouldn’t let her new clan suffer the same fate as her old one.

She and Gingerpaw stood in front of the nursery, flanking the entrance. Shimmerpaw and Sandpaw were in the cleric den, protecting the herbs with Rainfeather. Starleaf was inside the nursery, calming the kits. Blossomtail sat in front of Leopardcloud. Lionmane had not rejoined the rest of the clan, instead pacing in front of the two apprentices.

“Shouldn’t he be with the others?” Nightpaw whispered to Gingerpaw.

“I think he’s too worried about Leopardcloud and the kits.” he whispered back.

“Firestorm has kits too, but he went to the fight.” Nightpaw retorted.

“They’ve got different ways of showing their protection, I think. I definitely prefer Lionmane being here though— I’d be too worried without him!”

Gingerpaw had a lot of respect for Lionmane, Nightpaw had noticed. She wondered if Lionmane was his father— after all, Gingerpaw used to be a kittypet, and so were Lionmane and Leopardcloud. They could have easily been his parents. But now wasn’t the time for speculation.

A lone cat walked through the entrance, bleeding heavily.

Nightpaw tensed up. Could it be a Swampclan cat?

As the figure stepped into the light, his familiar dark pelt came into view. It was Darkstar. She immediately relaxed.

But where was everyone else?

“Dad? Where is everyone else?”

He huffed, collapsing, “Gone. We chased them all off but… they got every single one of our patrol. Redstar… he attended personally.”

Rainfeather rushed to Darkstar’s side, instructing Sandpaw and Shimmerpaw on what to fetch from his den.

Nightpaw approached Darkstar. “I don’t understand… why?”

“He heard the rumors.” he panted. “Somehow he knew… you were back.”

Nightpaw paused, her mind racing. She needed to know more.

He stopped, going limp.

Rainfeather yelled. “Give him some space!”

Nightpaw was horrified, “No…”

“It’s alright. He’ll be fine. He’s just losing a life.” Sandpaw said. He seemed to have noticed her distress.

“H-How many does he have?”

“A lot still. No need to worry.” Sandpaw smiled, “He’ll be fine.”

As if on queue, Darkstar began to stir. She released a sigh of relief.

“Stay down. You’ve lost a lot of blood.” Rainfeather placed cobwebs on his long gashes. “What are our casualties?”

“I managed to recover Firestorm and Riverdrop’s bodies. I think Grassfoot managed to escape… but I haven’t seen her since. Sunspot… fell into the stream, so it isn’t likely they’ll go looking for hers to throw into the Great Lake. I wasn’t able to take anyone else with me.” he coughed weakly.

“What did you mean by earlier… by him hearing the rumors about me?” Nightpaw asked.

“They were looking for you.”

“But… why?”

“I don’t know why. They’ve never mentioned. But that night, they killed Ravenkit, and one of Swanjaw’s kits. They deliberately went after all black kits in Bayclan. But they spared every other kit in the nursery… and even some warriors,” he sighed, “For your safety, i want you to masquerade as Shimmerpaw’s littermate. We cannot risk another attack of this nature.”

She nodded. “If… if that’s what I need to do to keep the clan safe.”

Darkstar let out a large huff of relief. “Good. I think I need to sleep… for a while… Rainfeather, I need to you promote a new deputy. The apprentices can wait for another mentor… but we need a deputy now.”

He closed his eyes, and went to sleep.

Rainfeather scowled. “Oh… damn it all to the lake… who am I even supposed to promote?”

“I’ll take deputy for now.” Starleaf stated. She must have left the nursery when Nightpaw wasn’t paying attention.

“Are you sure?” Rainfeather asked.

She nodded. “Yes. Darkstar still has a lot of lives left. I’m certain he’ll be able to appoint a new deputy in the future that will be able to take over. But for now, I’m the only able warrior who’s had an apprentice before.”

Rainfeather sighed. “Alright. Apprentices, help me take Darkstar to my den.”

Nightpaw looked around at her clan. With a clan made up of mostly kits and apprentices, the future seemed rocky.

But she knew they could not give up. They’d rebuild, just as they did before. And she’d do everything in her power to help.

After all, this was her clan, wasn’t it?

Nightstar’s Clan

Plotting/Relationship Call

Hello, friends. Have you ever thought of your Muse befriending a retired crime lord? Perhaps even forming a deep, personal connection that could very well shake up their respective lives? No? Well too bad, nerds. Below is a fine selection of dynamics one could have with the former Boss of the 3rd Street Saints aka Mister Django Foley.

I think Django, for the most part, can be rather versatile in regards to dynamics. So if there's something I haven't listed below that you would potentially like to explore, please let me know! I'm all ear. Also, consider this a permanent plotting call as well (as if the title didn't already imply it). By liking this post/commenting/reaching out to me, you are signing a legally binding contract in allowing me to do the following;

Reach out to you via IMs in order to plot and discuss our Muses

Make you random starters if so desired

Send you real dumb shit that reminds me of our Muses

Some fourth thing

And, most importantly, have a good tiiiiimmmmeeeeaaaaagggghhhh

Anyway, below the cut are some examples of relationships your Muse could have with Django. Once again, let me know what you'd potentially like to do, and we can discuss things further! Also, I'm more than happy to do something pre-established as well since I know for sure that all of us can get pretty tired of coming up with first meetings.

Friendship: The time spent in Spirale has certainly helped Django in overcoming his severe trust issues. Which makes things a bit easier whenever attempting to form connections with other people. Even so, Django really isn't the type to go and initiate such things—at least not as openly as some people might. It takes a little bit for him to acknowledge the fact that he considers someone a friend. Yet, regardless of whether or not he can be that vulnerable, befriending Django means having someone who you can easily consider ride-or-die. He is loyal to a fault and will go to great lengths in order to help out his friends. At this point in his life I would say that he would greatly appreciate anyone who can help him try to relax. To remember how to breathe. It's been a long time coming, but with his acceptance that he will not be able to return to to being a criminal again, he can finally start to rest easy.

Associates (Business or Otherwise): I would imagine that given Django's background, he's still going to do what he can to form connections with other people around the island and its many branches. So long as the relationship is mutually beneficial towards both parties, he will pursue it. And yes, just because he's retired from being a gangster doesn't mean he's exempt from working within the shadows. Old habits die hard, and sometimes you gotta do what you can to survive in this crazy environment.

Clients: With Django running two different businesses—the fashion company known as GANG☆STAR, and his own handyman services. I would imagine that some people on the island might be regular clientele for him. These are folks who have a good standing with him and regularly hire Django for either help with outfits, or assistance with just about any kind of odd job you could imagine. There's definitely the potential to have some of these form into actual friendships. But for the most part, it's strictly business.

Enemies/Antagonistic: There is absolutely no guarantee that most people would like Django, or that he would even like them in return. That's just fact. This is a man who has lived his entire adult life so far being hated by most of the world he comes from. And if anyone here were to have a problem with him—whether it be due to personalities clashing, differences in ideals, in morality, or anything else under the sun—it would not surprise him. I mean shit, he might even find it amusing. That's just the type of man he is. However, on the rare chance someone out there is capable of bringing out that one side of him; the kind that is capable of displaying such an inhuman amount of anger within him. Then I will say "congratulations" and "I hope you enjoy the enemy you've just made".

Frenemies/Rivals: Take whatever animosity you get from the previous section but make it much more funny. Like just imagine how stupid it can get. Especially if they wind up building each other up.

🎹 the worst roleplay trend i ever saw

🚙 the one thing i will never do in roleplay

📒 three blogs i couldn't live without

MY EXPERIENCE IN THE ROLEPLAYING COMMUNITY || Accepting

Worst trend

The worst trend I've seen isn't really that bad, as I don't really keep up with trends and any really bad ones tend to die out before they reach me I guess??? So, it'd probably have to be the tiny blogs people had for a while, back when you actually had to use blog themes and couldn't just navigate on the dash like we do nowadays. People would have these fucking 500x300px boxes for their whole blog content and while it could be pretty, the accessibility of it was a NIGHTMARE. I don't even have particularly bad eyes but sometimes I'd be squinting at them and their crunchy graphics like 'wtf is happening in this rp rn..?'

Thing I'll never do in RP

Outside of my usual no-go's in my rules, I'd never do a plot where someone's love fully fixes another character's trauma. While I understand why that's an appealing cute lil idea, I remember being FUCKED UP by that when I was younger when seeing people write characters with similar things to what I had but WOW their trauma was solved by some smooches. It's just not how things work, however 'cute' the idea might be, that shit takes time and is messy.

Three blogs I couldn't live without

THIS IS SO HARD- I love my moots so fucking much smh, I can't just do three. I'll at least just stick to doing my mains, just because I'd otherwise not be stopped. @compelledcurator - Feli is legitimately my oldest friend, we've been besties for 17+ years now and it's been a GIFT seeing how she has improved and grown over the years. We're often sharing our rps with each other, going on call and discussing how excited we are about our plots with each other and other people. She does such an amazing job of capturing her characters thoughts and emotions, and also will back and forth on plots so easily with me. A forever fave, she's fucking stuck with me. @ficklefables - Sai is an amazing writer and while I was nervous to write with them at first, we became fast friends tbh couldn't imagine not having them around to write or chatter with???? I always get excited seeing their content on the dash, and I love getting to throw little tidbits out at each other about our nerds. To me, their iterations of their muses are perfect and they're another forever fave that's stuck with my sorry ass. @auroradicit / @hopedefined - While we've not done tons IC here on tumblr, I know Rory as a passionate skilled writer and a LOVELY person, you can tell that they put care into what they write and I respect that so much. Nothing has my attention more than someone who actually loves their muses, cause SAME. Not often someone matches my energy on that shit ahahaha. @bucketfullofocs - Star is a sweetheart who has been there for me in times they really didn't have to, in times we were practically still strangers. Since then I've come to consider them a great friend. Outside of that, they do a great job with their OCs, integrating them in interesting ways into different universes, ensuring they all have unique traits and personalities. Absolutely worth the follow. @cr1msonpeak - Absolutely STUNNINGLY talented writer and a joy to chatter to ooc. We're both very wordy people and it's great to have someone who ends up writing a small novel alongside me ahaha, especially when it's all so artfully written! We haven't talked TONS but whenever we have it's been a joy.

[demonsfate]

Seen Pucca talking about this and I figure it's a good time for me to share my RP server horror story. Pucca's experience reminded me why I don't ever join servers at all anymore. Okay, so I was a part of this DC server (directed toward a specific franchise but y'all probs know what it is if you know my other blog) and my GOD. It was wild. One thing, people weren't all that interested in threading with me. And usually when my muse does get acknowledged, he's either treated like the butt of the joke or for ppl to "put down." (Understandable in a way since the comics themselves do that to the poor guy. But my characterization was a very serious one that I wished people would respect)

My character brags, he gets put down, my character jokes about something, he gets put down, my character gets jealous - feelings don't matter. And it'd be one thing if these were how the characters would realistically react to mine. But then there was one of the mod's characters, and he had very similar traits to mine - arrogant and all that. Except... every muse hyped him up. For some reason when my muse brags, arrogance is bad. But when this muse bragged, arrogance good. Clearly it's a bias for the mod - who was a real big problem themselves but I'll get into that shortly.

Then there was a problem with a guy who was clearly jealous of a ship I had - they tried to do all they can to catch my ship partner's attention and try to "woo them". This eventually lead into a kind polyamorous thing which I didn't want because my muse, being a super jealous type, wouldn't so easily enter one. And again, when he expressed that, he got put down. And tbf, a lotta this arise from a proper lack of plotting with the ship partner, but it still stressed me tf out.

The mod I mentioned before was a huge jerk. They clearly had a lotta money (which is probs another reason why everyone "worshipped" them) and then like a snobby rich person, they put down everyone who buys anything "cheaper". They spend HUNDREDS, sometimes even THOUSANDS, on those ball joint dolls. Then they openly teased (made fun of) me for buying cheaper figures. Even though it's like, my current mental and physical state does not allow me to work rn and also? Even if I could? Not all of us are in a position where we can afford to buy pricey af dolls. Go fuck yourself.

What I'm about to talk about is a little controversial but. A trans woman wanted to play a "gender-bend" version of a male character (but as a female) and basically the cis people gained up on her to tell her how bad she is for that and everything. She gave her reason, that playing male characters makes her dysphoric and whatnot, but then they asking her why she wants to write the character despite the fact she gave her reason over and over again. It basically ended with her apologizing after being bullied for it and saying she won't do it. This one, of course, is a touchy topic but the fact that cis people were talking over a trans person flabbergasted me.

OH YEAH, and after that... somebody wanted to "brighten the mood" so sb @ me to give facts about my character, since I was hyperfixating hard and knew so much about them (y'all know how passionate I get!) and then this other fucking person starts GUILTRIPPING ME???? acting like I'M bad because that person was interested in my muse?? And THEY start going on about how nobody cares about theirs and how I'm ""lucky""?? Despite the fact they had WAY MORE threads than I did at the time??? Like literally wtf!

And finally... the weirdest fucking thing... nude posting. Despite the fact that this is a DC RP SERVER, almost EVERYONE started posting their nudes??? Some even posting videos OF THEM GETTIGN FUCKED BY THEIR SPOUSES?! Like it's so wild, it's almost hard to believe it was real. Like I knew I felt like I was on drugs when I saw what was happening. Eventually that same mod came back and even they were like "uhhh?? guys??? Maybe let's not post our nudes in a server full of STRANGERS?? You never know what weirdos might be here??" and then that's when people stopped. But it was like... holy shit. I just never saw that happened before??? These weren't even ppl with OnlyFans or something. It was just so bizarre. And I'm ok if ppl are fine with showing off their naked bodies and stuff if they wanna. But is a RP group really the appropriate place??? Especially when there's nothing inherently sexual about the server??? Like it felt highly inappropriate to me and just weird.

It got to the point where the original creator of the server (a mutual of mine) told me how nervous the place made them and how they don't feel comfortable going on. They thought it was their fault but then I explained that it is a horrible place full of toxicity and everything. They left the server, and eventually, so did I. This isn't the only reason why I don't join RP servers anymore. There was also another where whenever I spoke about my headcanons for my character, another person who rps that character would get so fucking upset and basically try to change the topic or get me to stop talking. Or straight up say they don't agree. OR when I point out how one of my "headcanons" IS canon, they literally called original writer STUPID! (Therefore calling me stupid too because I abide by that canon???) And one time when we agreed on something they said "omg I can't believe we finally agree on something!!" and made a big deal out of it and I literally told them we didn't have to agree on anything, that our takes are supposed to be unique to oursevles and it's something they shouldn't have to worry about (or get upset about lmao) and I've had other bad experiences, but this server was just the Worst. I think there are more bad moments too, but this is all I can remember rn.

Prompt #25: Perpetuity

“Do you suppose we'll stay here forever?” The question came suddenly, verbalizing a single string of the young girl’s thoughts. She laid in the boy’s lap as he weaved wildflowers through her golden hair. This field was their haven, a quiet spot they shared under the sun.

“...Uh.” He paused, processing her words quite literally. “I’s gettin’ dark... we gotta go ‘ome soon.”

“I meant… here, in this town.” She tucked a flower in his shirt collar, the furthest her hand could reach. “We've lived here all our lives. When we're older, would we move on? Would we be together?”

Her musings were complicated compared to his; she worried about the future, bracing for the worst, and he rarely entertained thoughts of change. Their life had been peaceful, allowing the feelings they had for one another to grow with each passing day. Tomorrow remained an extension of the present, and she would always be by his side.

“Yeah.” His pinky traced over the bridge of her nose. “I'll follow y’ ferever. An’ I know y’d follow m’.” He sounded sure of himself, so she chose not to doubt him. His bright eyes and smile wouldn't lie to her.

This was the memory they both had chosen as their last. Laid to rest in the void before their fractured souls rejoined, a brief moment that lasted an eternity. Navigating through their short years of life, grieving a stolen future.

Hydaelyn tried over and over to correct their fates, but those under Zodiark had influenced him far beyond saving. Love for their family twisted into revenge, funneling hatred and darkness into his heart. She managed to retain the girl who only wanted to secure the love that remained. To survive by his side.

Love could both heal and destroy so easily.

Countless regrets stalked them to death's door. But the decision they'd never amend was that final moment together. On the cusp of the star's salvation or destruction, neither granted their true wish. And perhaps that wish had the power to transcend space and time, reaching their respective source, and reuniting them without divine intervention.

“What of our story? Our ending?”

Hydaelyn had no answer. She could only pray fervently and wait for their next life. One brimming with flowers that never turn to ash.

👀 Do the mun and you get along? 

🔥 How would you spend one day with the mun if you could? 

Muse talking about the mun || very much accepting !!

👀 Do the mun and you get along? 

Shade || ❝ yes ! ah mean, ah think so. ah don't think we've ever had any issues, at least. we get along. ah cooperate, they treat me well. we learn about each other. its all rather fun, ah think. ah'd like t' think we both enjoy our time together. ❞

Kaey || ❝ mostly. I can't say I fully... support Puffins proclivities when it comes to how they interact with and treat me, but I also understand their position well enough to know it isn't done with ill intention. I get my happy endings, and I know she'd never let me have otherwise. she puts a lot of value into me, and I can... respect that. I understand the need to cope, and I understand her struggles, if only through the lens of my own. we are very different people, but I'd like to think I've made them a better person, helped them. and... I think that's enough. that's fair. its a... mutually beneficial arrangement for the most part. so yes, I guess we do get along quite well. ❞

🔥 How would you spend one day with the mun if you could? also submitted by @tamedstray & @azzagrazt ! thank you !

Shade || ❝ oh, we'd have lots of fun ! ah'd take Puffin out on the town. we'd dress up an' go out, spend time together. ah know they feel trapped a lot of the time, so ah'd want t' treat 'em t' a nice day out, hangin' out. ah think we'd have a grand time. o' course, if that's what they wanted t' do. we could just as easily stay home an' spend time, play video games or maybe play with her pets. ❞

Kaey || ❝ I'm not sure. I don't think either of us really do much with other people, aren't very sociable. I would be happy enough just to spend time around them. spend the day in silence if that's what they wanted. we could both do our own thing. though, I do suspect that Puffin would be more inclined to... peruse me ? I would say there are many things we could talk about, or that she'd like to ask me. and I guess I would be okay hearing her out, humor her questions. play a game of... 20 questions ? we each get to present our curiosity and have it sated. not a bad way to spend time. ❞

Shipping Info | Answer the following for your muses so people know how shipping works on your blog

What is your OTP for your character(s)?

since chiyo's an oc, i'll just say chiyo and any character who qualifies as " annoying " on some level bc it's always a fun and amusing dynamic to write :' )

How large does the age gap have to be to make it uncomfortable?

if i'm writing chiyo as an adult, then it's less about the age gap and more about ensuring that the actual ages are appropriate. she's 28 in her main verse, so i'd prefer anyone she's involved with to be at least 20. if they're older than her, i'm not too concerned about the gap in age as long as the relationship feels natural.

How far do steamy moments have to go before they are considered NSFT?

probably the easiest thing to say is once the clothes come off, but tbh if hands start wandering to certain places or the conversation becomes a bit graphic, i’m likely to go ahead and tag it.

Are you selective when shipping?

sort of? but not really. i’m selective in that i need to feel chemistry between our muses, and i want the other person to understand that chiyo needs time before she can start dating someone. if the chemistry is there, it might be easy to jump around the timeline — that i don’t mind! but she’s not someone who easily lets others in, and it’s difficult for me to write her opening up if we don’t establish some foundation first.

other that that, i’m not selective. you could even tell me at the start that you think our muses would be cute together, and i’ll keep it in mind and talk about it with you. so long as we’re respectful and know what we’re getting into, i’m down!

Who are other characters you ship your character with?

please see my currents ships 💜

Does one have to ask to ship with you?

it’s very much appreciated bc i’m anxious — it may take me a while to suggest it simply bc i’m afraid of upsetting someone, even if i feel the chemistry. but if you’re also anxious about the conversation, sending in a shippy meme, liking a ship call, etc. are good alternatives!

Are you ship-obsessed or ship more-or-less?

hmm maybe closer to ship-obsessed, though i think that’s a strong word asdfg shipping is very fun bc i very much enjoy writing the development of a romance, and it’s something that i’m almost always in the mood to write. but i love all dynamics and tbh!! would love to write more sibling and platonic dynamics with chiyo!

What is your favourite ship in your current fandom?

considering i’m multifandom and indecisive, that’s hard to answer :’ ) if anyone’s particularly curious about fandom characters i ship with chiyo, i can talk about it at some point, but tbh it makes me nervous to reveal that sort of thing.

Finally, how does one ship with you?

it comes down to writing with me, feeling the chemistry and seeing the potential there, and then either talking to me about it or sending me a meme or something! it’s really something i’m laidback about, so please don’t worry about me being mad or against it 💜 i’m happy to try shipping together, and it’s no hard feelings if it doesn’t work out!

🥀 🥀 🥀 🥀 🥀 

You know, I wasn't born into high society. If I have anyone to thank for the life I was lucky to lead back in human world, it'd be my dear late father. He worked his fingers to the bone to gift me those opportunities, manners, and the proper education, that he did. And like all hard work with a goal, it paid off. Throughout the years, our shop saw many well-heeled patrons. And when one of them invited me to an upcoming ball, I was more than ready. I met my first husband at that ball and trust me, at the time it felt much like a fairytale! He wasn't even that old, only 'bout seven or eight years my senior, and from a well-respected line. Tall, gruff, no-nonsense, scowlin' type. No love at the first sight with this one, but you can't blame a girl for settling when it came with oh so many perks... We married, of course, and fast. For a while, it wasn't even quite so bad to live alongside him. Sure, he could stand to devote some more time and attention to his wife than to his beloved investments, but for the most part, I was left to my own devices. If anything, I enjoyed the independence when he was out 'n' about throughout days and evenings. Started thinking about children, too. Why, my father was aging fast, and began talkin' more and more about how he'd love to meet his grandkids still...

Sometimes I still wonder if it was only his stocks tanking or also my first unfruitful condition of expecting that changed my husband into this distasteful despot he's become. Oh, naturally, it was the bottle too, he started reaching for it far too easily. And trying to suppress me. Suddenly all my advice was nagging, and my vigor was exasperating. Can you imagine? It bugged me enough already, but divorce, you know it, wasn't really on the table. I'd rather not end up like poor Emma, gossiped and scorned by everybody. So I grit my teeth and persevered. And oh, could I put on a cheerful act! Among our neighbors, no one even suspected that we could be having any trouble...

Until the day he first raised his hand at me.

Say you were in my shoes, would you just take it? I didn't. I couldn't. One's first time is rarely premeditated. It's only with time that you learn to plan and execute. Practice makes perfect, and back then? I didn't just have any practice yet.

Our fireplace poker was heavy duty and too close to my reach. It only took a second to grab it. Twenty hits until he stopped moving took me only as long as I needed for the tears to cease their flowing.

It's amusing in retrospect. I was such a scared, unseasoned lamb back then! I stood there over his body in a pool of blood, and my hands wouldn't stop shaking. I felt so much, you know. Fear, mainly. Of consequences, of being found out, of myself and what I've done. But even back then... nowhere among those feelings was regret.

I knew I had to get rid of the body. Hiding it wasn't an option, the house would surely have been searched, and going outside with large bags would draw attention. It was pragmatic, really. Did you know that's how most cannibals start? You'd think it's the curiosity, but not really, not in most of cases. Most often it's the hunger... having nothing else to eat. Or, simply, as it was for me... the idea comes up as a method of disposing of evidence.

So I cooked him up. As the stew bubbled, it smelled nice, but oh, he tasted horrible; must've been this booze filling every crevice of his meat. Still, having a bite was... satisfying. Like a moment of victory, a symbolic thing. I fed the rest of him to dogs. Before his disappearance has been noted, there was nothing more to find.

When some time has passed, and his 'missing person' status got changed to a 'likely dead' one, playing a widow in despair wasn't much more toilsome than playing a happy wife had been...

Can you even blame me?

The stars barely manage to glitter in the endless firmament, choked by the branches of tall, skeletal trees. Each breath is a painful ghost in the brittle cold as they stand around the fire. Blessed were the men of the main force all but luxuriously snug in tents or blankets. All that keeps Padraig upright is the counter weight of the musket sling on his back and the will not to shame himself in front of the Major. His hands shiver around the tin of what had been hot broth maybe moments before but is now beginning to develop a patina of ice at the edges. The cold is kind though. Lends his voice a rasp that it might not normally sustain. He keeps his head tucked down. Another mercy as it shades his features from close inspection. "If it is not out of place to ask ye, sir-" Padraig's lilt is like any of a dozen other boys his approximate age and holds in its timbre some reluctance to seek so personal a question from his betters. But ask he does out of morbid curiosity. "Was there ever a moment where you questioned your duty and loyalty to His Excellency? Where you ever considered bein' a bloody back?"

My muse has to tell nothing but the truth for 10 asks. (1/10)

These days, living was painful; just breathing tended to be a persistent, nagging ache, and any time he coughed or felt a telltale constriction in his lungs, Benjamin wondered if this winter would be his very last.

It was a shame, really. He hadn't seen a S.etauket fall -- a real Long I.sland autumn -- in at least two years, and sitting here in the Valley F.orge encampment, surrounded by nothing but glistening white and frost, he started to wonder if he ever truly would.

Please, God: please don't bereave my father once more.

Between himself and another soldier, a languishing fire crackled, the glimmering embers popping and fizzing before with bright, vibrant little accelerations, they lifted akin to blazing gossamer up into the ether. Briefly, Benjamin entertained the idea of floating away in equal measure. Was that what dying felt like, he wondered? To become weightless, formless, disembodied?

"If it is not out of place to ask ye, sir-"

Benjamin jerked at the sudden address, startled. It wasn't often that men beyond Brewster and Sackett spoke to him, yet he supposed that the most hellish, miserable of conditions made brothers of them all.

The boy -- Padraig, if he recalled correctly -- continued on, "Was there ever a moment where you questioned your duty and loyalty to His Excellency? Where you ever considered bein' a bloody back?"

For a moment, Benjamin was genuinely speechless. Was his internal struggle far more external than he originally feared?

He swallowed, his throat bobbing sharply. "No," he whispered. The response was sharp and resolute, much like a g.unshot. "Or at least, I never wished to be a lobsterback. I would rather die than become the cruel, oppressive ilk who stole my brother and used his name as bait."

Teeth grinding, he curled his hands around his tin cup of coffee, the liquid inside having long since grown cold. "But do I question my duty to W.ashington? Yes..." His frowned deepened, and Benjamin carefully selected his words, knowing all too well how easily a m.utiny could be incurred. "I trust and revere and respect him, absolutely, but sometimes, I feel he is blinded towards the bigger picture. However, my own prideful opinions aren't always correct..."

Here, he thought of his foolhardy attack on S.etauket -- the one that led to three men d.ead and two injured.

Benjamin exhaled. "Unfortunately, sometimes we need to learn the hard way to see past our own ignorance. I'd like to think I've grown far wiser since the start of my service, but...I do know I'll never turn my back on this Cause. I've bled too much, given too much, lost too much to ever consider any other option."

💕 - Karlach, Aylin, and Isobel (I mean I already know how we ship them but I love hearing about it XD don't mind me I love the best buddies, family unit we got LOL)

Send 💕 and I will tell you some muses of ours I think could work as a ship. | accepting!

karlach and ameridan are ride or die for each other and i think she brings out the more chaotic side in him. it gets lost sometimes because they things they're dealing with are so serious, it feels like they can't afford to treat anything like a fun adventure... but sometimes they can and it makes it easier to keep going, and i think she reminds him of that when he forgets. and in return he makes sure to always be there for her when she needs it, keep her from losing hope.

ameridan adopting and/or getting adopted by the silverblood family *chef's kiss*. is he a friend? a relative? once his hair is completely grey he'll look like he could be related to isobel and honestly? she'll always be melodia's daughter but if she wants a living family member... they bond so strongly in the shadow-cursed lands, more strongly than he's bonded with some of his companions at that point and maybe ever will. which isn't that strange, some of them are just not the type he befriends easily, but it does really mean something to him, coming out of that place with her and aylin and feelings stronger for it.

and aylin herself is just!! he's someone who's typically respectful of those who are close to gods, but doesn't put them on a pedestal. he treats her like a person who's been through a lot, and with all of her strength still needs support. he won't coddle her but he will be there for her if she needs it.

Hibari x fem!Tsuna (I really like this ship so I would like to know what do you think about it 🙂)

[My KHR ship game] ||Accepting|| @squalettaReminder: As with the last one, take my thoughts with a grain of salt because I can only speak on what I know about your muse, who is a canon divergent gender bend. Forgive any inaccuracies.

Hate it |Am Neutral to it| Ship it| love it! |

I say neutral because I mean- I am not entirely sure how things would go due to variables of- Tsu-chan is not exactly a canon character in the sense that I cannot use canon to accurately depict events and how scenes unfolded between characters. Some scenes obviously had to change in the event of her being female. I do see the potential though.

That disclaimer out of the way, let's get started on my thoughts!

A few parts may be copy pasted from the last one that I answered for Tsu-chan, because… it would make my life a bit easier lol. These things get long so I’m sure I can be forgiven for that.

Just like when I answered the Xanxus x Tsuna one, I personally do not like Hibari x Tsuna for the same reason as before. The shippers always make him the most uke to have ever uke. The megaladommed of ukes. I hate it. Tsuna is made to be a fearful lil dude and pretty timid but he’s not actually like that. He has some back bone to him. He knows when to take a stand. Moreover, he would at least put up a bit of a fight. He’d be panicking at the very LEAST, but not just crying through everything. Bruh.

So, with that, we have the contrasting Tsu-chan as I like to call her. We’ve established before in a ‘how do I see your muse’ kinda meme that happened a while back. [x] Linked for reference. I enjoy the fact that she has more fight in her in the form of sass/sarcasm. She’s more willing to just take charge initially as opposed to Tsuna who normally takes a more nuanced neutral stance at first before he finally decides ‘okay I need to act’. I am going off on a limb to assume that some of this can come about due to the fact that Tsu-chan is a woman.

She likely had people who doubt her ability to take charge and to lead a massive famiglia like the Vongola. Not to forget that she was quite young when Reborn first came into her life to train her to become the 10th. Women in general are usually told to just be pretty and it is best to be subservient to a degree. Just let the men do all the work, or to simply listen to men as that’s their place. That is a mentality that a lot of places tend to have though things are better in more modern times and in some countries.

I think, Tsu-chan had to take the stand and had to prove herself time and time again to the point where she’s just so used to having to prove herself that it resulted in her faster and stronger response to altercations than Tsuna did. He has a more passive kind of attitude to things but she does not. She’s also seemingly more ambitious than (M)Tsuna likely was. That’s the vibe I get. She may be respectful towards others, but she can easily take it back. She will take shit from NO ONE. It isn’t to say that (M)Tsuna doesn’t have fight in him. It isn’t to say that TYL him didn’t have ambitions either. However, canon him was always shown to be more gentle and passive until you went over a line and then he acts. Then everything he was holding in comes forth and he’s a force.

Tsu-chan, I have the gut feeling, has a much lower threshold, than (M)Tsuna. Also possibly had less insecurity issues than that of (M)Tsuna. I cannot speak to all iterations of how you write her, but at least based off the premise of our interactions, Tsu-chan had a childhood friend and one she got along well with.

Haru is such a positive bean (THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!!!!) and she’s such a caring and supportive person (THE BEST WAIFU OF MY LAIFU!!!!!!!!) and so I think that as opposed to (M)Tsuna who didn’t have friends, she would certainly have a bit less of the sociability issues that he had. From this, you could say that she has more emotional intelligence than he does. This may turn into her having a stronger sense of self, which then means that she’s more willing to assert herself. So, from a younger age, she was PROBABLY (I’m just guessing) more willing to be honest and speak up than (M)Tsuna was.

From the backstory tinkering that I had to do when I took on Yamamoto as a muse [x] linked for reference, these changes do make an impact on things, even if a bit small in some aspects. Hibari, as we know, is very fond of Namimori. Anyone who breaks the rules or sullies the sanctity of his beloved Namimori is gonna die, plain and simple. Initially, he doesn’t like her that much when he realizes who she hangs out with, the loud one, and the one that needs to get bitten to death on the daily. (How dare he smoke on premises!) Yamamoto is okay in his book. Additionally, Reborn is quite the interesting little baby, so he adjusts his opinion of her slightly. She at least can survive on the day to day basis. He does really detest it any time she does her lil ‘stripping act’ as he probably terms it. Public indecency is no good and it disrupts the order of the school. A repeat offender. It’s Reborn’s fault but--- still a repeat offender.

Due to her presence in school, Namimori has been hassled a lot. Let this guy rest and enjoy his school life in peace!! But nooooo because she’s here, his beloved school gets turned into a fighting ring, students get targeted for their teeth, students go missing for months, etc. He gets SO CROSS with her, I swear to god.

Still, as we know from TYL arc, he does come to respect her and he has acknowledged her fighting abilities. As a person who appreciates strength and finds fun in a challenge, that is something that would catch his attention and amuse him. He just likes capable people, really. If she is capable in fighting, or leading a mafia, or anything else, that can catch his attention. Anything that can cause him to respect someone, even minutely is a good thing. I honestly haven’t really seen Tsu-chan interact with a Hibari much at all, so I can’t really say—but my gut feeling is telling me that even if she’s the boss she still treats him with respect. I feel like she never truly loses the respect for him as a senpai, but will still exercise her right and authority as boss over him if absolutely necessary.

I doubt it happens all that often though. If you know how to talk to Hibari properly, it won’t ever need to come to that, and I’m sure she’s smart enough to figure it out. It’s quite important to him that she wouldn’t treat him like she’s above him and is his boss. He would much prefer it to be like she acknowledges what the ranks may be, but she still sees him as something similar to an equal and treats him as such. A part of it is his pride, and another part of it is his strong sense of independence that would prevent him from truly seeing her as his boss in a true sense. I have always had the feeling that he merely sticks around because it’s sometimes amusing (the engaging fights) and because their ideals align just right. He wants to keep Namimori (his territory) safe, and she also wants to protect everything and everyone near and dear to her. So having similar goals is a way for them to join forces so to speak.

It does parallel the fact that Alaude did create the Cedef which is more or less an independent entity that’s still affiliated with the Vongola. He’s really a cat who is like I’m not one of you, but sometimes I work with you for the sake of what needs to get done.

Given what I think I know about her, I think she would respect his individualism and wouldn’t push him to see her as his boss. I don’t think she really cares for that? Sure, she acknowledges him as her Cloud Guardian and it would be important for her to ensure that he wouldn’t betray anyone in the Vongola and it is important to be able to ask him to go on certain missions—and that’s the extent of it. She doubt you portray her in a way where she feels the need to exercise power over another person to feel superiority. I think she moreso would choose to collaborate with others based off trust and faith.

IF I am right in thinking Tsu-chan is like that, then it’s important to him because his sense of self is very important to him. He cannot be chained and refuses to be chained according to someone else’s ideals. He will choose for himself what he wants in life and he is quite picky about those that he allows to be in his circle. He is a bit prickly //motions to Dino and Kusakabe. Even those pretty close to him aren’t spared from the tyranny that is his blood-thirsty tonfas. Still, he does have some level of care for those that he’s allowed to stay around him.

I’m not entirely sure for what reason she would have to like him… perhaps it’s his stubborn nature that is admirable. Man was poisoned with something that can take down and elephant and Hibari really said FUKKA YOUUUU I BITE THIS TOWER TO DEATH!!!!!!!! Even though he had broken bones, he was still able to move with Gokudera until they got to where Mukuro and Tsuna were and could still try to fight. That is an incredibly stubborn person who is full of a lot of drive and will power. That is really admirable.

I AM A BIASED BITCH- HE IS ALSO JUST REALLY PRETTY AND ATTRACTIVE. MAN WASN’T VOTED #1 ‘I WANT THIS MAN AS MY HUSBAND’ IN JAPAN FOR NO REASON!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHH

If you look past his violent tendencies, he actually has shown signs of being considerate towards others and having some level of compassion. He can be gentle, especially to his lil animal friends. It is what I call DANGEROUS GAP MOE and that’s a powerful thing.

As for Hibari, I think he could be drawn to the fact that despite the fact that she never wanted the life of being in the mafia, she eventually had to accept it and she made the best of the situation what she could. She made the most out of her life and she continues to strive to do more and do better. As a stubborn mule, it’s super difficult to force Hibari into doing anything he doesn’t want to do, but for the greater good, she accepted the task of being a Vongola boss and she is taking the initiative to change things to fit what SHE wants. This aspect not only shows a level of drive of making sure that she can forge her own happiness, but it also shows that she’s willing to step down for the greater good and that’s a really big sacrifice that many aren’t willing to take.

It takes a lot of courage and heart to do such a thing, and I think that though he can’t understand it, he finds it respectable of her. She strives to do her best and even though she faces adversity due to being a woman, she doesn’t let that hinder her. She fights for what she believes in, she fights for others, and she’ll defy anything that goes against her morality. He’s seen for himself how powerful her will is, and how her stubbornness can rival his own- so he respects her for that in the TYL.

I don’t know if you’ll have it where she sometimes shows a bit of the canon fear that Tsuna does towards Hibari, or if she’ll rather take on a more teasing nature with him or what. I sadly do not have any material to go off to really speak more concretely about how a ship between them would go. How she interacts with Hibari is quite important to how he would view her.

Teasing him can be okay, but to a point. It depends on how and how often. Depending on the type of teasing, it’ll just piss him off or turn him away. Only some types of teasing (ie ones that would spark fighting spirit) is something that catches his interest. It amuses him. Fighting back against him also has good sides and bad sides. If she fights against him in a way to appeal to her own standards and morality, that’s something he can respect. IF she tries to fight against him as a way to exert control or power over him that would royally PISS HIM OFF and he won’t stand for it. He hates to feel confined and controlled. Like a cloud, he is a free spirit. If she teases him in a way that it feels like she’s looking down on him or doing so in a way that’s like ‘you can’t even fight back because I’m your boss’ that would also piss him off.

These are just examples, I don’t actually think Tsu-chan would do that. This is mostly to explain how he’s quite the fickle guy, and if you don’t go about it the right way, he can instantly be turned off from a person, and when that happens he’ll never go back. Once you’ve been put in the ‘this person is a monkey’ list, you aren’t ever getting out of it- so give up on romancing him.

I feel like maybe it could work, a ship between them. It honestly truly would depend on interactions. If they were to be a couple, I think it would be interesting. He quite frankly doesn’t give a shit about politics or rules. If he decided to love someone, that’s that. Literally anyone can try and tell him ‘but she’s your boss, you ca-’ clean up on aisle fuk u. As a lover, I do think Hibari is the type to be quietly supportive. He would support her in whatever she wanted to do, and have faith in her abilities to see things through. If she had decided on something, he won’t argue against her and instead just support her. He values his independence and self-governance, so he would give her the same right.

He wouldn’t try to force anything upon her. HOWEVER, he does seem to have some traditional values/interests from what I’ve seen, so he would be pretty strict on some matters. He’d be strict about not showing too much PDA out in public or instance. He would be very clear about the level of intimacy that either party can show to others. He wouldn’t stand for anyone getting too close to her or vice versa, he wouldn’t allow anyone to get too close to himself. He’d get extremely irate if she were to get too close to someone. Euro-style greetings like kisses on cheeks and stuff is fine, by the way. It’s anything that feels like she’s getting too close to another person that may vaguely feel like cheating territory, he’d never stand for it. Unforgivable to him.

Will state that I don’t say this as a means to suggest I think she’d cheat or allow someone to touch her without her permission. I mostly explain this to focus on the fact he’s VERY TERRITORIAL. He does have a bit of a jealous streak, as well as a tendency to enjoy marking his territory. He just enjoys the act of marking what’s his because it’s his. It doesn’t mean he is insecure about a relationship or thinks she’d cheat. HE simply just enjoys the feeling and knowledge of: this is mine. Consider him like a greedy dragon, honestly.

If she can’t handle that, Hibari is not for her lol.

Though, I will state that people sometimes forget that he too has a silly side to him. He’s quite sarcastic and such, and he’s a bit rude. He does have some traditional mindsets, but the biggest aspect about him is: HE DOES WHAT HE WANTS AND HE FOLLOWS HIS OWN RULES.

If he personally thinks some rules are stupid, they don’t exist. So some traditional values may get thrown out the door, but some other values he will keep iron clad.

My fingers are starting to hurt so I’ll stop there. There’s not much I can really say because I honestly don’t know how the two would interact.

This is to preface me saying because I have no actual interactions to base off of, I have no way of being able to come up with cute ideas between them. Sorry again, gonna have to make due without that section again.
