ROLEPLAYING  GLOSSARY

new words might be hard to understand right away if you’re new... here’s some basic glossary to help getting started! some are more obvious than others, of course, but i know lots of people who might be confused, especially people who don’t speak english as their first language, so i figured it’s better to write down any “important” words

this list might be updated every now and then!!!

A

activity: the abount of time spent on a specific blog. it can be high, medium, low, or even lead to hiatus or semi-hiatus

affiliates: blog canons who tend to be tied together

archived: an archived blog is what remains of a blog no longer used, but that the player prefers not to delete. The blog might’ve been remade, so always check!

AU: alternate universe, when the story setting changes completely. 

C

canon-divergent: a blog that follows canon only to a certain extent, making significant enough changes to distance itself from the original version of the character

crack: silly posts, more often than not out of character, meta and meant to be jokes. crack intreactions are generally considered non-canon for the blog

D

dash commentary: in-character comments about what’s currently happening on dash, like other characters’ thread or replies to asks

DNI: do not interact; a list of people or blogs you don’t want to interact with, for a reason or another

double: people who play as the same character

E

event: a roleplay event is, for lack of better terms, an event that lasts for a generally specified amount of time, that involves a handful of characters to the whole dash. examples of events could be working together to save someone from another muse, or simply partecipating to a holiday ball

exclusive: a blog who doesn’t roleplay or ship with doubles of certain muses, since they already have mains who play them.

F

FC: faceclaim, the face used to represend a character, usually OCs

G

godmodding: any form of cheating to win an argument or a fight, usually involving metagaming or ignoring the partner’s actions to succeed. an example of godmodding could be the good ol’ “it’s an hologram” thread

H

hard block: blocking someone permanently

hiatus: a blog on hiatus means that the player isn’t going to be around for a long amount of time, generally unspecified

HUB: when someone makes secondary blogs to roleplay with, they usually keep their primary blog (the one they use to follow others) as a HUB where they can redirect others to all their other blogs

I

IC: in character; what your character says

icon: small images used to represend your characters’ expressions

interest checker: a post, or a google sheet, people ask to like, comment or fill up to see if they’re interested interacting with a certain character or blog. 

M

magic anon: anons of bygone eras, who cast “spells” on muses in their askbox for a specified amount of time. for example, a magic anon could “transform” your character into a cat for a week, and expects you to roleplay the situation accordingly

main: a RP partner with who the player interacts with more often; some mains can be or become exclusives

meta: metagaming, playing in character using knowledge the characters themselves don’t know, but the player do. it’s the RP equivalent of knowing how to deal with a boss in a game because you watched a walkthrough, making your character break the fourth wall and godmod to win

moved: a blog that was remade, usually either reusing the same URL or keeping a post with a link to the remade blog, leaving behind an archived blog

muse: the character you play as

musing: sentences, prose or lyrics, often written in stylistic manners, that represent the muse’s feelings, thoughts, relationships and history ( you can find a lot of them here )

mun: the player. this is you!!!

mutual: someone you follow, and who follows you back. a lot of blog are mutuals-only, meaning they’ll roleplay only with people they follow and who follows them back

O

OOC: out of character; when the mun talks. the opposite of IC

P

para/multipara: long threads, written in paragraphs

permanent starter call: generally speaking, permanent starter calls are posts the mun asks others to like or comment to make sure they’re “allowed” to send asks, interact, dashcomment or mention in other threads

promo: a post where the players promote their blog and their character, where they often give an idea of who the character they play as is, very basic rules and links to rules and about pages. please reblog those if you want to interact with them

prompt: also called ask memes or sentence starters, posts with a bunch of pre-made sentences used to break the ice and send as asks. they can be both in character and out of character ( you can find a lot of them here )

R

reblog karma: when someone reblogs a prompt, it’s common courtesy to send them something before reblogging the same prompt, or at least wait a few minutes and then reblog from the source

RP: roleplay

RPC: roleplay community, the “main” fandom you’re roleplaying with

rules password: a word or sentence left in the rules page of a blog, meant to be sent to prove the mun you read their rules. while the trend died down and even those who leave passwords generally agree that it isn’t something you’re forced to send, a lot of people at least notify their partner that they read their rules

S

semi-hiatus: a blog on hiatus means that the player isn’t going to be around very often for a long amount of time, generally unspecified

selectivity: depending on a mun’s selectivity, it means how open they are to play with new people, or non-mutuals. non-selective blogs are open to anyone to join, semi-selective blogs are much more reserved, being much more open to mutuals and people you know, while selective blogs are more often than not mutuals only and tend to have mains or even exclusive partners. someone being selective doesn’t mean they will never roleplay with you, and someone who’s non-selective isn’t automatically better than others. decide how selective you are with your blog based on nothing but your own comfort

softblock: blocking and unblocking someone in your follower list, not blocking them completely but still making sure they don’t follow you . A lot of mutuals-only blogs prefer to softblock people they don’t follow anymore

starter: the first post in a thread

starter call: a post muns ask others to generally like or comment if they want a starter for their muse. they usually have a specified limit

T

tag dump: the list of tags the mun uses in their blog, often to help people finding specific kind of threads (like ships and crack), or to make sure tumblr saves the most elaborate ones expect tumblr to not save them and remake the tag dump a few times

thread: the interactions between two (or more) muses

V

VC: voiceclaim, the voice used to represend a character

Trafalgar Law x OC (male) Words: 2.7k Genre: Fluff, humor, tiny bit of sauce

~*~

“Captain, 2 kilometers to land!” called Bepo from the control room, met by Law in the doorway in his navy blue, feathered coat.

The helmsman’s gaze scanned repeatedly over the sea. “...I guess the rumors are bogus, I don’t see Bananawani anywhere—AH!” They screeched from behind their mask when their observation screen darkened, blocked completely by a reptilian eyeball.

“Hold your fire! Be calm,” Law gritted out, standing firm despite the sweat on his forehead. He turned to the man that trailed behind him, draped in a cloak of peacock blue and green, his long hair pinned away to show off the jewels that hung from his ears. Even in the dim lighting of the control panel bulbs, his easy smile was brilliant, a sign for the Heart Pirates to be soothed.

Nearly 3 years ago, they had groaned and rolled their eyes at every appearance of the showy revolutionary, uncaring for how he spoke so casually to their captain, especially after saving his life in the aftermath of the battle for Marineford. Now, he knew all their names, knew which ones preferred hugs and which preferred handshakes. Were he anything less than a friend, they would have protested more to their Captain informing them they were traveling to meet the so-called Cross Guild.

The stacked heels of River’s boots clicked on the submarines metal floor as he went to place his palm on the warm glass. “We are expected. Crocodile said the wani would be fed prior to our arrival, and it appears he has kept his promise.”

“Preparing idle procedures, Captain. We can wait here as long as your business takes,” the helmsman informed him.

“Not as long as it takes those things to get hungry again, right?” Shachi said from the door.

“I don’t plan to be here any longer than absolutely necessary,” Law said, already on his way to disembark.

“Yes, leave the engine rubbing,” River said as he followed.

“Leave the engine what—” They raised their eyebrow behind their mask. “Hm. He almost got that one right. He’ll get the hang of the common language eventually.”

“At least he’s not saying, ‘Room, shingles’ anymore.” Bepo said, leaning in his chair and idly popping a snack into his mouth with a big paw.

“I miss that one, actually. Made the Captain smile.”

~*~

The Cross Guild’s temporary headquarters of operations was far removed from the luxury preferred by it’s founders, though the clown seemed to be determined to thrive under less-than-ideal circumstances. Damaged stone walls and drafty corridors, tattered tapestries and dark halls, all the qualities of a defunct and usurped former fortress, for all it’s wilting splendor, was still a fortress when packed with the new organization’s loyal mercenaries.

In the main hall and draped across a chipped stone throne, his segmented legs fidgeting with the singed carpet, sat a yawning Buggy, suddenly all too eager to address the pirate and revolutionary in his home.

“YOU two?! The insufferable Trafalgar Law, and—” He made an embarrassing grunt, no doubt remembering River from his Impel Down escape, and the indecent comments he made about his figure when he first mistook him for a woman. At least, until River yelled his refusal at the clown with what was decidedly not a woman’s voice. No, Buggy really wasn’t living that one down.

“How DARE you bring those legs—I mean your face in here before me! How did you get passed the wani? Didn’t that bastard Crocodile say those beasts would—” He clapped his mouth shut on a squeal when said bastard Crocodile appeared at his side.

“Are you treating our guests well, Buggy?”

The clown watched his own reflection swallow in the golden curve of Crocodile’s hook, watched it nod his acknowledgment.

“I called them.” Crocodile explained calmly. “Seems I’ve found an eager buyer for our cargo in one Trafalgar Law.”

“No shit?” Buggy looked to them both, all curious eyes as his limbs floated back to him.

“Be a good clown and show him to the store room.”

“Me?! I mean, why should I—”

Crocodile’s withering stare suffocated him appropriately into submission, and Buggy obediently slinked off down the hall with a wave for Law to follow.

“I’ll wait for you here, Law. It’s okay.” River smiled at him, though he could see it gave little comfort as his gaze darted suspiciously between him and the former warlord, once, then twice before he followed slowly down the path Buggy left.

Honestly, at least one of the two smart men should have assumed their reunion would be a little awkward, if not a little feisty, bloody maybe. Anything besides the cloistering silence.

“… I’ve been catching up on your publications since last we saw each other,” Crocodile broke the quiet first, ashing his cigar on the patched floor.

“Do you like them?” River leaned into his opinion, let his gloved hands fidget.

“Your prose was always a touch flowery for my tastes, but anyone who reads your work can tell how intelligent you are.”

“A high compliment, coming from Sir Crocodile.”

“There’s also talk about your unpublished adventures.”

He squared his shoulders, unsure whether he was about to be scolded or complimented again. With Crocodile, he never could tell.

“The pirate Trafalgar Law has lost his title as Warlord.”

“That’s common knowledge.”

“And has taken a lover, a showy mercenary with hair like a black flag and twin silver swords.”

River frowned that such a personal rumor had appeared about them. Not that River wasn’t used to his private life being flayed apart for the circus of the newspapers and Marine correspondence alike, but to inflict such poor taste upon Law’s reputation was unforgivable. “Is that what people are saying?”

“I paraphrase. You know how the masses chatter.”

“They’re right this time, even if it’s none of their business. I am in love with him, and he loves me.”

Crocodile sigh condensed between them in smoke, a familiar shroud. “Can you even trust him? He’s made an entire career out of playing both sides. Even for you, River, that is reckless. Did you learn nothing the first time?”

Did I teach you nothing?

“I trust him with my life.” River insisted.

You trusted me.

“Young men are fickle,” Crocodile argued, uncaring how flimsy the grievance sounded to both of them. He would not see River hurt, not by the same mistakes again.

“He had his reasons for everything he’s done,” replied River. “Good reasons. Both in and out of the veil of the world’s watch.”

“Does he satisfy you?”

River scoffed at the abrupt shift in subject, though incapable to not turn a little pink. “To be a true gentleman is to never tell, and to respect your competition.”

“Don’t quote your father to me, not when I’m asking if that brat has taken the time from his ambitions to care for you, the way you deserve.”

“The way you did?” His cheeks darken.

“… How I wanted to.”

Crocodile’s pause is unexpectedly genuine, sentimental, and River feels his face cool, if only to be replaced by a tingling up the back of his neck. “You’re different, Crocodile. And yet I would recognize you anywhere.”

“Do you miss it?”

“I…” He searches for words that would neither damn him nor give hope where there is none. “Look back on us fondly.”

“I’ll give you another moment to answer me truthfully.”

His skin prickles in goosebumps beneath the layers of his clothes, the looming darkness of Crocodile into his personal space is familiar—and warm. He’s close enough to kiss him if only he leaned into the vector of them, hurled himself towards a bliss not forgotten over years and other lovers.

“And does he trust you?” Crocodile rumbled between them, his voice reverberating inside River’s lungs and caressing along the curves of his ribs.

They were a storm once.

Lightning trapped in a bottle, pin-prickles of electricity racing over flushed skin and along sore tongues in hot mouths. Crocodile can recall with a cursedly perfect memory the sight of him, chest heaving and flushed with a new orgasm. He could still taste the humid tang of saltwater in the folds of his body.

As did River. With only his eyes closed, he could feel a wide palm on the length of him as if it was real, hear Crocodile rumble the sweetest promises into the space between his shoulder and ear while he pulls him apart by the ends of his threads. Look at you, my love. Perfect, and all for me.

They were almost married.

But in the present, and with all the warmth and fondness he still had for him, River finally answered his question.

“Completely.”

The smile that forms around Crocodile’s cigar is contented, pleased to see River is exactly as he remembers, perhaps better. “Good. I will accept nothing less.”

River huffs. “As if you would ever be asked to approve,” he says cheekily, with a swish of both his colorful coat and the hair that drapes over his shoulder.

“If I ever believed you were being mistreated: I would not ask your permission.”

Now that gives him pause. Beside him, Crocodile is as serious as he had ever been, falsely bristled and deadly calm, a threat to the distressing thought of his River abused.

His always, even when his no longer.

River smiles back with a gentle calm that disarms him, reassures him he is safe. “Thank you, Crocodile. I shall return the favor.”

“Tsk.” His teeth click around his cigar.

“What? You don’t think I can handle one clown and the world’s greatest swordsman? Well, I can certainly take the clown.”

“It was good to see you, River.” He tapped him ever so gently on the nose, just to see him grin. “Fair seas. I suppose clear skies mean nothing to a submarine.”

He’s still smiling when Law returns, just in time to see Crocodile vanish around a bend in the hall. To say the doctor is unimpressed would be irresponsible, nearly incorrect. River might describe him as all the usual emotions he acquired when Crocodile simply appeared in conversation, let alone in the flesh: miffed, vexed, agitated—pissed off.

“What did he say to you?” He began without a hello, his stance wide and stare fixed to the end of the empty hall.

“He said hello,” replied River, an answer Law hadn’t expected if the appearance of the wrinkle between his eyes was to be believed. It was, no matter how permanent the wrinkle was becoming.

“… Fine. He’s allowed that much, I guess.” He broke his gaze away to finally acknowledge River. Instantly, his eyes and heart softened. “I wont ever let him hurt you again. I promised.”

That’s what he said about you.

River’s answer, his gratitude, came as the gentle kiss he placed on his warm, suddenly pink cheek. Blushing, after all they’ve been through? The doctor continued to be the most endearing man he had ever met, capable of turning River’s heart to honey syrup despite all his jagged edges, his tongue sharp with sugar crystals. Melt him, and see how he shines.

“You have your prize then, mi lao?”

Law fumbled with the parcel in his coat pocket, hands clumsy at the Oasin phrase of affection he still wasn’t accustomed to hearing, especially not from the flashy revolutionary that had always, always flirted with him, flirted with countless people. Even when his insides were on the outside, his wounds leading him to Seth’s door in a breadbasket, when it was completely not appropriate to flirt, well, then there was River.

But he didn’t flirt anymore, no more than could be considered a jest, and Law struggled to accept he stood on the other side of that line alone. The only one who received River’s simpering affection now, the only one he gave those eyes to, the only one he allowed to touch him.

It made his fucking chest hurt.

“I got it.” He said, most articulately. “Look.”

He unwrapped the wrinkled newspaper to show off a rare-mint coin, void of dings and scratches despite the thick layer of tarnish that stained Law’s fingertips as he held it up to the light.

“That’s beautiful, Law,” River gasped, though he had exactly zero idea why the coin was rare or which historically significant event was stamped onto it’s opposite face. “How much did the clown ask?”

“Shh.” The doctor held up a stained finger, breaking into a mischievous smile as he grabbed River’s hand.

‘Crocodile! Hawkeye! Find him and kill him!’ They heard a furious Buggy screech from down the hall, vaguely muffled and thumping from the inside of what sounded like a locked treasure chest.

“Room.”

“Shingles? Yes, let’s go!” River cheered over Law’s “shambles”, and the pair blinked out of existence, reappearing inside the submarine control room with a flicker of muted blue light.

“Captain! What happened?” Bepo greeted them, at first gleefully, then shocked.

The crew hadn’t been expecting their Captain and River to return by Room, nor did they expect the sight of him smiling, still holding River’s hand and nearly doubled over with what could only be described as an honest, full-bellied laugh.

“Oh—shit.” He wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve. “Full speed, crew. Let’s get out of here.”

“Y-yes, Captain!” The navigator fumbled to punch buttons and pull levers in the appropriate sequence after such a lifetime event.

Law flicked the coin off his thumb, caught by his palm, and held up to the ceiling light. “How mad do you think Aurelio is going to be that we made him wait?”

“Tell him it was very important,” said River.

“I’ll tell him it was your idea.” Law smiled again when River clicked his teeth at him. “It’s a reasonable strategy.”

“You’re incorrigible. And I love you.”

Law dropped the coin to the floor with a clang and a mumbled “fuck”, only to find himself staring at the faces of his crew when he stood back up. Bepo, the masked helmsman, Penguin, Shachi and more all crowded in the doorway while they waited for him to make the appropriate response.

“… What?” His face was already redder the emergency lights with what he could assume they wanted.

‘Say it back.’ They all demanded of him.

“I—” His face darkened further, the hand without the coin attempting to pull his hat down as far as it would go. They were ALL getting painting duty for this. “I love you too. River.”

“You jerk.” Shachi teased him. “Was that so hard? How long do you expect someone to wait until you say it back?”

“I say it back!” Law barked, his blush refusing to dim. “Just not in front of you all! It’s private!”

River just chuckled beside him, met with Law’s accusatory finger. “You, be quiet.”

“WHOA now, Captain, be nice to River!” Shachi yelled too loud to not be on purpose, as targeted as the way he leaned out the doorway to make sure the entire sub heard him.

‘He’s not being mean to River, is he?’

‘We love you, Captain, but you have to be nice to River too!’

‘Yeah, we won’t stand for that!’ They all heard various shouts on either side from the echoing metal hallways of the submarine from the enthusiastically protective crew. Protective of all their friends, it seemed.

“You are ALL going on painting duty for this,” he growled.

“But we just painted the sub last week,” Penguin said dryly.

“Yeah well, you paint it when you’re bad!”

“We’re out of paint, Captain, can’t be done.” Shachi reminded him.

“BUY more paint!”

River smiled, unbelievably soothed by the bickering and love that overflowed on the Polar Tang. For all the years he’s spent traveling the ocean, searching for somewhere he loves as much as his home, he thinks this little pocket of air beneath the sea must be the place he wants to stay.

From the Mun

So, I think my blogs are just about done going through the growing pains of my return to tumblr RP that started last month. I'm just making one more change that'll happen in the next couple of days, and that's that I'm going to be moving Sinder and Tryck to their own sideblogs over off of Felyn'afae as the main, and this blog will strictly be for my Origin muses. It'll just make it easier for my brain to keep things organized.

I'm gonna get through drafts first, but if it's my turn on anything involving Tryck or Sinder, I'll probably save it for their new blogs. I've already got the URLs, I just need to actually set the blogs up.

This'll just really help me showcase my OC babies and make sure they don't get drowned out by canons, which I know from experience can happen on mm blogs.

I'll probably have their blogs set up by tonight or tomorrow morning, because I still want to get to my replies I owe for everyone else over here today.

[graceschasity]

What would yall say if I told you that I already have a url saved for a hatchetfield oc showcase blog? What would happen?

20 for the ask game? i love seeing how creators interact with and connect to their characters :>

i am so sorry i saved this ask to be a reward for me after work yesterday and then completely forgot about it.

20. Have your ocs helped you in self discovery? How?

yes!!! a lot actually!! all in very individual and unique ways. i mean i literally went by tucker as a name for a time because of how much tucker influenced me lol. it’s actually funny because you can always tell when i’m going through some sort of identity crisis because one of my ocs will just get a dramatic overhaul or like intense deep dive into their character.

in terms of queerness specifically… tucker is the whole reason why i discovered how werewolves and wolves connect to my masculinity and my gender. that’s something that i still carry very close to me and probably my first baby steps into butchness before i even fully understood it. hes a very old monsterhearts character that i made him at the beginning of the pandemic when i was in this weird limbo space of my transition and how my neurodiversity played into that. he definitely represented who i wanted to be/look like at the time. and over time his identity has changed to reflect mine- from being a gay man to bisexual to a butch dyke to all three at the same time. tucker tends to reflect me the closest but i think i also just change him whenever i’ve Already discovered smth about myself.

xanders gender presentation has given me a much higher respect for drag and Gender Weirdness in general. not to say i didn’t have it before but it feels a lot more personal now. he’s just so fun to play around with in ways that i’m not comfortable experimenting with my own gender url but are still experiences i like to explore if that makes sense. he was also definitely my bisexual awakening when i was in denial for like 6 months. like when i finally accepted that i thought xander was a hot guy AND A HOT GIRL was when i finally accepted that i liked men and women lol. it’s also when i decided xander would be bigender as opposed to a feminine man LMFAO.

ummm tucker and jordan’s relationship pushed me to think a lot more about my queerness growing up and how my experiences growing up as a Queer Girl influenced my Current identity. their whole relationship is like. very personal to me and the queerness of their childhood is such an important part of the story and Why They’re Like That. like idk Queer Childhoods are a very prevalent theme in wolfsbane and i guess i don’t really Discover anything when talking about/working through their backstory but i definitely reflect a lot on myself and my own experiences and it’s just made me a lot more Aware of my childhood.

jordan is actually my oldest character of the bunch that i made back when i was transitioning in high school and was definitely me sorting through some Gay Repressed Emotions but his backstory was just so different back then that it’s hard to relate to it. jordan’s queerness is such a diff experience from i mine though that i can definitely say for certain that he has helped me with self discovery in other ways way more than in terms of queerness. his relationship to his body (less in a trans sense and more in a psychosis sense) and reality are like. the big things i sorta project onto him.

konami reflects a lot of my gender apathy and “unseriousness” about queerness and while i haven’t thought about it much before he definitely represents a future i wish i had for myself of being raised in a communal queer space so like. he’s my inner child in a way :3c i think they also represent like. how my queerness was influenced by the internet and digital spaces but like that was as close as i got to having a queer community growing up so it still relates back to that first point about queer upbringing!

but yeah my characters are always very clear reflections of me and my experiences it’s very intentional. you can definitely tell how i perceive myself and my identity at the time based on which of the four im hyperfixated on the most. i will literally change my entire wardrobe when i decide to delve into one of my characters more. we sorta grow in tandem though sometimes my love for them changes my identity/i subconsciously project things onto them first and other times i realize something about myself and then add it to their characters. we’re very connected though!

2023 blog update !

Sooo happy new year everyone, and let's get into the thick of it, because I have a lot of words to spew out from my little tired brain ( i swear i started writing this at 4am, how's it past 6 already ? ). Beware long post...

I'm ditching the "sonic fandom" categorizing tag, most of my blog is sonic stuff so it doesn't really matter ( i'll change out the old tag on my old posts later when i remember... )

I wanted to change my url, cause i don't like what it stands for now, but it's what I'm credited as in the SWA zine and i don't wanna inconvenience them this late in the thing, so I'm gonna keep it for the time being. Maybe in a few months I'll change it ?

I kinda hate tagging my posts so i think i'm gonna stop using most of my tags when i'm reblogging, just doing my regular comments instead and content warnings if it needs it ( don't forget you can always ask to tag ! ), and of course, the reblog tag stays.

This doesn't mean I'm ditching the categorizing tags entirely though. I'm gonna try something. At every end of the month I'll go into the mass post editor and just correctly tag everything. ( I might still tag characters and fandoms the regular way for non-sonic stuff ).

I might reblog a little less. Or at least try to. The amount of stuff I usually reblog kind of overwhelms me ( sideblog will not be affected as it's a lot less pressure ).

I have a lot saved up in my likes tab that i still need to get to reblogging... might be time to revive the 'queued' tag ?

I'm still gonna be serial-replying, sorry... It's just less stress for me.

In terms of resolutions... I wanna post more art ! I basically stopped entirely in the later half of 2022 cause of ID anxiety and that's no good, art is what i made this blog for ! I also still haven't introduced you guys to my AU and I was supposed to do that in, like, June 2022... So I'm gonna do that. Lemme know what format you think I should post the 24 ( and more ) images in ? ^^;

Maybe I could post my long rambles and weird ""essays"" ( heavy quotations because those are basically liveblogging of my current thoughts ), if you guys would like to see that. A lot of questioning logic, lore, headcanons and theories. Stuff like that.

I want to interact more with the fandom ! Provide actual content ! Be active, be friends, y'know. Do the club activities and all that jazz. Art challenges, redraws, collabs, whiteboards, dtiys... I wanna be part of the cool/uncool kids and have fun while doing it !

I'm gonna go through sideblog-exclusive stuff below the cut since I'm sure most of y'all don't care about that. I only have 3 or 4 followers on there since I've only ever shared it with friends, so you probably don't even know it exists.

Alright so for ekana-to-hana.

It's basically gonna stay the same

I haven't been drawing my sonas and their universe a lot, so sorry about no new original art... I'm gonna try to draw them more !

All this time I've been just reblogging random stuff, but I think I'm gonna start sharing the things I like. Of course those posts won't get any more than 3 notes unless people actually like what i care about ( plants, fashion, ultra-specific aesthetics, various potential craft hobbies ), but hey whatever.

So in short, more original posts.

I might ( emphasis on 'might' ) start posting personal life updates like, i dunno, plant pics, merch if i get some, ramblings about life and shit.

Unlike my main blog, tagging remains unchanged, since i have way less to organize ( no characters and fandom tags ).

I should sort out my organizing tags for personal clarity tho.

Maybe I'll do some OC+fandom art, to promote the account ? But honestly I wouldn't really count on it.

And that's all folks.

[altrxisme]

Speaking of Vizual Bandit, I haven't finished 3/4s of their bios Are they npcs in Jo's life? Yes, but I was also thinking of maaaaaaaybe having them as an oc multimuse rp blog and i've saved their url already lol

[variouscolors-old]

I think i'll be moving the XW AU, Legend Xros Wars, to a sideblog (like i had done with my AU for Meiko, and my OC Taisuke)

I do have an url saved already... I don't know anyone who roleplays Xros Wars characters besides me :V And I didn't watch XW for ages, just rewatched one or two episodes while i was working on Hinode drabbles for insp, and the other to check if my memory wasn't misremembering stuff (turns out it was) -- and yeah, i do still like XW and especially Hunters.

But my muses here are AU-based 💧

[mushroom-through-the-stargate]

told you i was posting this au soon. this is the note titled "main headcanons" basically what I changed about the story. my oc is yurei, she, katsuki, and izuku are triplets and mama inko adopted Shiggy, and well just read it. also here's one of the many drawings I did for this au from left to right is Katsuki, Yurei, and Izuku

Midoriya Yurei

• Also born "Quirkless"

• Drowned while on vacation

• Quirk activated, resurrecting her

• Quirk - Ghost - she can float, go through walls, affect electronics and temperature, basically generic haunting stuff

• Do Not Erase Her Quirk She Will Die

• She can no longer be killed any other way, she'll just pop back up immediately, slightly beat up and very annoyed. She doesn't even get knocked out (but if its a great force she'll be knocked over because there are still a couple laws of physics she obeys), she just keeps going with a quickly healing wound like a very intelligent zombie. She uses this to save people, pushing them out of the way and taking the shot herself knowing she'll bounce back. The healing time varies between a couple seconds up to 15 minutes depending on the damage, as her body has to heal the "fatal" wound

• She also has really fast heal times, and rarely scars (because it's not actually healing, per se, it's more of a reset or regeneration)

• Loves plants, but her Quirk drains/wilts them, so she decorates with those aesthetic vine things

• She is an absolute cryptid. She goes to get a midnight snack, and the way her eyes glow and her poor posture makes Toshinori swear the next morning that he saw mothman or something

• Scary smart but only has one (1) braincell

• Her name means "ghost" horikoshi would be so proud 🥲

• Makes constant death jokes. Sometimes izuku joins in. Katsuki joins in a lot, and sometimes even starts it. Yurei and Tenko can bounce death jokes back and forth for HOURS

• Scared of large bodies of water, even swimming pools. Because feeling water fill your lungs and stop your heart at the ripe old age of twelve causes ✨️trauma✨️

• She has a tumblr. Her url is "schrodingers_hoarding_problem" (fun inside joke, the whole dead-and-alive thing), and she's unknowingly mutuals with Denki (Denki surprisingly puts two and two together and figures out who she is, sparking an amazing friendship)

• Yurei loves sitting on the roof, just. Chilling. On the roof.

• She semi-possesses Denki during his tests and helps him out. It takes a couple weeks before her brothers realise that the "soft, gentle voice in [denki's] head that's smarter than [him] and helps with [his] schoolwork" is actually their ghost sister trying to help

• She is very rarely in class, but she finishes her projects and gets good grades so her teachers chalk it up to "you can't contain a ghost" and "is she actually a student or is she just haunting the school?"

• Seriously touch starved. She would curl up with a statue if left alone too long, and heaven help you if you leave without giving her a hug.

• The triplets all have separation anxiety with each other, but Yurei has it with everyone she cares about. The thought that the last time she saw her loved ones was the LAST time she would see them is constantly in the back of her mind. Which is reasonable, seeing as she has died like three times already so knows lethal situations are much more common than most people are comfortable thinking about

• She also just phases through the floor instead of using the stairs (the Midoriyas live in a cute little house instead of the canon apartment because bigger family)

• Lesbian ace, Yurei x Toga Himiko

• Yurei "at least you guys were NORMAL and fell for your classmates. That would've been so much easier for me. But noOo, I had to be gay for the GIRL WHO TRIED TO KILL ME."

• To be fair, Toga only tried to stab Yurei once, when they first met (she may not be a villain anymore but she still sometimes feels ✨️stabby✨️). And Yurei was intangible, so not even a scratch. Since then, they've been cutesy and dating like any other lesbian couple. Yurei even gifted Toga a hello kitty knife, because "it's cute and dangerous, just like you."

Midoriya Katsuki -

• Katsuki in this au is almost ooc-nice. Soft boi hours, but still a little chaotic and aggressive. Snarky little brat who is kind when he needs to be. He's a lot less of a bully - being especially better towards Izuku - with his aggression mostly protective as he was the only triplet with a Quirk (that is, until yurei fricking died when she was 12 and got her quirk, and then izuku inherited ofa at 15).

• Is fully capable of going feral, and not only to protect but also when he feels like people are "letting him win", which drives him up the wall (see the sports festival incident)

• He also never made fun of his siblings being Quirkless, and his only "problem" with it was "well, crap, they can't defend themselves, so I gotta beat up all these OTHER kids"

• Katsuki is the third (technically first because hes the oldest) triplet and is now Midoriya Katsuki because I don't like his mom. So that probably contributed to his attitude adjustment, being taken care of by Mama Inko instead of Bakugou Mitsuki

• Also deaf!bakugou au because I love the idea of his Quirk making him go deaf and the idea of the triplets just using sign language and annoying/confusing everyone else. Plus the idea of him just. Turning off his hearing aides when people annoy him. *chef's kiss* perfection

• Also Katsuki has freckles because I can't change his eye or hair colour and I need SOMETHING to tie him to the other two

• Like canon, he loves cooking and is great at it. He's Gordon Ramsey in every way - goes feral when people are incompetent and in his way, but genuinely kind and nurturing when they actually want to help and learn. He has in fact called someone an Idiot Sandwich, and that someone may or may not have been Izuku.

• Gay demi, PopRocks

• Only cuddly on his terms. Hug him when he doesn't want to be hugged, and God help you because no one else will

Midoriya Izuku -

• Izuku still inherits One For All

• Probably bi? Tododeku

• Probably had a version of his mom's Quirk originally, but his dad forgot to turn off his Quirk stealing bs while holding Baby Izuku, said he'd "fix that later", and never did. That's why Izuku was Quirkless

• Secretly a cuddlebug. Cuddles with his siblings, his mom, his friends... Todoroki.

• Not as much of an All Might fanboy as canon. It would be like your mom marrying Boulevard cucumberpatch and your room is wallpapered with Sherlock posters.

• Need more Izuku headcanons, but I didn't change much about him that didn't involve the other two. I made up Yurei, and changed Katsuki almost completely, but Izuku? Perfectly fine the way he is

All Three

• Katsuki is the oldest by 10 minutes between him and Yurei, so hes 25 minutes older than izuku; Yurei is the middle, because she just gives me middle child energy for some reason; Izuku is the youngest by 15 minutes between him and Yurei, because he's baby.

• Katsuki "how did I go from being the only sibling with a Quirk to being the sibling with the least op Quirk?"

Yurei "I died lol."

Izuku "Dad stole mine and Toshinori gave me his, so..."

• They are musically talented. All three can sing. Yurei can play the piano/keyboard, but she recently discovered arcade buttons and prefers those. She likes editing on the computer, and has a YouTube channel for her music. Katsuki can play the drums (canon), because its the only instrument he can reliably hear (headcanon). Izuku feels like an acoustic guitar guy to me, or maybe ukulele.

• All three kids have AFO saved as "rat b*****d" in their phones. Izuku has All Might as "Toshinori" (because he's boring like that lol), Yurei has him as "DadMight", and Katsuki has him as "Mother F***er" (listen - I don't cuss, but my characters sure do. Also All Might approved of all contact names, so...)

• All three triplets are avid gamers

• Katsuki and Izuku sing "Hey There Delilah" when Yurei is having a "poltergeist episode" because they found out the soft cadence calms her down almost instantaneously

• Yurei is in the support course, Izuku and Katsuki in 1A (Yurei's all "I'd rather build stuff than fight bad guys. Besides, they couldn't handle all three Midoriyas in one class!" but shes secretly upset that theyre separated)

• Yurei's muttering and note-taking is just as bad as Izuku's, if not worse. But hers is about stuff she could build and how, instead of hero analysis. Katsuki "talks" to himself in sign language [a lot of Deaf do that, so do CODAs]

• Their favourite running joke is pointing at random crap and saying "that you" [can confirm I do this with my sister all the time]

• Another favourite joke is walking around screaming "WHAT DOING?!" at the top of their lungs at each other like those parrot videos. Usually when one of them is playing/texting on their phone or looking for something

• AFO "Do any of my children like girls?!"

Yurei "..."

AFO "Yurei, put your hand down."

• They each have a kitten from the same litter. Yurei has a little white kitten named Phantom, Izuku has a little yellow kitten named Small Might, and Katsuki has a little orange and black kitten named Lord Explosion Murder (gotta keep it canon lol)

• Yurei and Izuku call Katsuki's cat "Lem". They refuse to call the cute little kitten Lord Explosion Murder

• They helped each other train their Quirks. Izuku and Yurei helped Katsuki understand and aim his explosions. The boys helped Yurei feel safe to float, disappear, and phase through stuff; and help her calm down during what they call poltergeist episodes. Yurei and Katsuki helped Izuku learn his "microwave dial" tricks. Each of their Quirks are stronger than in canon because they didn't have to go through the discovery phase alone.

• They have severe separation anxiety, barely tolerating being in different classes. When they get into the dorms, almost every night Izu and Yurei sneak into Katsuki's dorm and they cuddle pile because it's too much to handle being apart all day AND all night.

Nicknaming

• Izuku uses proper names and honorifics until he's comfortable, and then out come the pet names. Always cute and endearing, from shortened version of their name to something that reminds him of them. The more he loves the person, the more pet names they get.

• Uraraka is "Chako", and a couple others

• Todoroki has so many, Izuku rarely calls him the same name twice. "Sho", "Todo", "Roki", "candy cane", "todoroni", "sweetheart", "my love", the list goes on and on and on and on-

• One time, when he was really tired, Iida told him something and he responded "Ok dad" and has yet to live it down.

• There's a running joke in the family that Izuku can't pronounce "Katsuki". He can, and does when he's mad. Katsuki knows to run when he hears "Midoriya Katsuki."

• Katsuki still does the nicknaming, but more playful instead of mean-spirited.

• Still calls Todo "IcyHot" and Denki "Pikachu", and his friends are "[his] idiots"

• Doesn't call Denki "dunce face", nor Kiri "sh***y hair".

• He called Kirishima "Kiri" until they officially asked each other out, and then it was "Ei".

• Once, while running on little sleep, he messed up and called him "Kirisunshine". • Like when Izu called Iida "dad", Kat has yet to live that one down. Kiri didn't either, because he dissolved into a blushy mess.

• Yurei compounds normal words with people's names depending on the situation or topic of conversation; she's very inconsistent with her nicknaming.

• She only uses "real names" with people she views in authority or people she's uncomfortable with (as someone with social anxiety, there are those certain people you stay rigidly formal with because they make you anxious or uncomfortable or you just plain can't get a read on them)

• The most consistent nickname in her rolodex is calling Katsuki "Kit Kat", which she has basically since they could talk

• She has called Todoroki "TodoRoni", "ConspiraRoki", "TraumaRoki", and a bunch of others.

• Himiko calls Yurei "Boo", and Yurei calls Himiko "Sky Puppy" (because vampire equals bats, and bats are cute little sky puppies)

• Izuku still calls Katsuki "kacchan", and Yurei calls him kit kat. Haven't decided yet if Katsuki still calls izuku "deku" because, like, that's such a Sibling thing to do. But also it's a bit meaner than I want him to be. Maybe just like "brat child" or something. Yurei calls izuku "broccoli" and he retaliates by calling her "cauliflower".

Parents

• Dad For One au/StepDad Might au (because I'm evil and love the idea of "lol even mom left you for all might")

• All Might takes the Midoriya name, because "they didn't marry into [his] family, [he] married into theirs", so he's Midoriya Toshinori

• We stan a chubby Mama Inko in this house

• Somehow, Toshinori has his "skeleton form" without the injury because that fight didn't happen in this au. Because I like the skeleton form, its non-threatening and he needs an inconspicuous form for being out and about with the Midoriyas.

• AFO is a sucky dad, and the triplets hate him with the same passion that Shoto hates Endeavor, BUT the lov is still a found family and they have game nights and everyone (except Enji) knows that Dabi is Touya

• Adopted!Shiggy and Good!LOV au. The lov is actually more of a home for runaways, taking in all those "villains" but rehabilitating them and giving them the family they needed. Instead of "League Of Villains", the acronym stands for "League Of Vagabonds". Some even go on to be heroes, but most are "normal citizens" and work in grocery stores and cafés and stuff.

• Touya is still dabi and still runs away from Endeavor, but his siblings know where he is. Toga obviously finds them and starts dating Yurei (prob in the support course with her gf). Shiggy stays with Mama Inko and the triplets in the divorce, and goes to UA (probably either already graduated or a third year, I don't know his age). Oboro is just healed and NOT turned into Kurogiri (even though I love Mamagiri, he and erasermic could prob do without the trauma). Oboro would probably be a fun uncle to Aizawa's and Mic's kids, because yes erasermic officially adopted shinsou and eri as well as like 5 cats.

[love-toxin]

also because I was still working on it I put this off for a little bit, but I have a dedicated blog for yandere ocs now! feel free to check it out (and the lovelies were right i definitely mentioned it before but just forgot i had a url saved already LOL) and keep your eyes peeled for updates as I put everything together at @yanverse !!

this is also a good time for feedback! for those of you familiar with @monstercampus you know that i separated my terato works into that blog as an aside from this one--so as far as my yandere ocs go, would you prefer to see any future content for them on a separate blog to make it easier to search and organize into its own thing? or would you rather me keep everything here so it's more together?

honestly i don't usually try to spread myself thin, but having a separate blog for monster fics has actually been really nice and fun for me! i actually considered separating my oc stuff before and i think it might be nice to have things in their own categories; a blog for yandere ocs, monstercampus for terato, and love-toxin for general fandom-related writing like resident evil and stranger things and the like. either way, let me know your opinion!
