hey man how's it going

(blog intro)

Hey!! Welcome to my blog. You may know me from @shiftedelsewhere which Used to be my account before tumblr nuked it. rip fallen hero. hope u have fun on here! u probably won't. but....

"girl who tf are you"

good question! I wish I knew.

I go by "N" on the internet; I use any/all pronouns; and i love music with my entire heart. Call me whatever! it really doesn't matter to me all that much.

"why are you here"

to post about my interests

"which are?"

music! mostly. my 2 favs at the moment are porter robinson and jane remover. i also really like a lot of other stuff too; you'll figure it out easily since it's the main thing I post about on here

i like a good videogame sometimes. In particular I'm especially fond of zelda games, pokemon, splatoon, and those mii games on the DS!

i do NOT watch shows very often. i can count the number of tv shows I've seen in my life on my fingers. my favourite show is gilmore girls because I'm a massive autumn fiend. living my best life rn. whenever i finish a show i tend to write down my thoughts and share them. currently, I'm trying to watch community, big brother (season 26), and am on my 5(?)th rewatch of gilmore girls.

other than that i like math and physics and transit systems and some other stuff that evades my memory right now ! we will find out what i like together, in due time..

"ok, and?"

these r some general ground rules!

feel free to dm me or chat with me in the comments, just keep in mind I'm a VEERRRRY tired stem student and can't get back to you immediately. send recs or tell me about your day or show me a meme! we can be friends if you'd like :)

uhrm don't be weird lmfao. I'm not gonna tell you where i live. probably goes without saying...

no tagging system at the moment - let me know if you need me to tag something (i.e., a tw or something) and I'll do it!

i like a good tag game. if you don't wanna be tagged, please let me know! otherwise i got an alphabetized tag game list with all my mutuals who are okay with tag games that i copypaste every time lol

"if your tumblr goes down again, where else can i pester you?"

@shadowbannedsomewhere, the backup account 😵‍💫

aoty

art instagram (dead)

porter robinson fanpage (cloutless)

pinterest

apple music (this is where i listen to stuff)

spotify (this is where i post playlists. also we should do a blend :3)

last.fm

goodreads

i readily give out my discord so just ask for it if u want to talk

i always follow back on these accounts but i do not always check. shoot me an ask if u followed me somewhere and ill follow you back obviously :3

yeah and that's all! thx for reading. they really deleted my old pinned post too..crazy. what did i do to displease the tumblr algo? i don't know >_<

Getting to Know You Meme

Tagged by @texasdreamer01. been a while since i did one of these so i guess imma do one again.

01) Are you currently in a serious relationship? no. which i've learned the hard way is a good thing rn. i am A Mess and i need to be less of one before i can contribute to a relationship

02) What was your dream growing up? i'm assuming this a "what did you want to be?" question and not something else ( i may be too autistic for this). in rough order: a paleontologist, an archaeologist, an astrophysicist. alas i was born chronically ill and Shit Happened so none of that panned out.

03) What talent do you wish you had? i have adhd. there are a LOT of "able to take care of self" skills/talents that elude me because i have the attention span of a concussed goldfish.

04) If someone bought you a drink what would it be? non-alcoholic. could go for a french vanilla icee or a chocolate shake tho

05) Favorite vegetable? none. they don't like me and the feeling is mutual. (due to Weird Health reasons they rip me up inside so i have to be VERY moderate with them and plan in advance for Misery Time)

06) What was the last book you read? i've been reading online stories almost exclusively for so long now that i don't actually remember. i THINK it was either a dresden files book or a godstalk series book.

07) What zodiac sign are you? *cackles* cancer sunsign, leo moonsign, geminai ascendant. so yes my sunsign is THE moonsign and my moonsign is THE sunsign. and my ascendant is very "this malarkey might as well happen". its very funny.

08) Any Tattoos and/or Piercings? no, unfortunately. i tried a long time ago to get my ears pierced and was only given the option of the little stand at a grocery store or not at all. so i HAD pierced ears (badly) and let them heal up because no earrings would actually fit (they pierced SIDEWAYS wtf)

09) Worst Habit? no clue but from what others in my life tell me one of the most annoying/funny habits is getting uppity when the color of the food clip doesn't match the color of the food packaging its used on. *false innocent tone* why yes my family DOES have a history of ocd, why do you ask?

10) What is your favorite sport? i am not a fan of sportsball. but to watch: ice skating. to play: badminton

11) Do you have a Pessimistic or Optimistic attitude? both. both is good. (no but seriously im usually an optimistic pessimist. in that i plan for the worst and hope for the best. considering my... everything thats actually progress for me)

12) Tell me one weird fact about you. *looks down at my autistic ass* where do i even begin???

13) Do you have any pets? no, unfortunately. i used to but then my allergies got worse.

14) Do you think clowns are cute or scary? both? depends on the clown. they all have a bit of Creep to them but some also have some cute thrown in. and i like cute and creepy so...

15) If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be? *stares flatly at you in Trans* take a wild guess

16) What color eyes do you have? internal heterochromia green and brown. which means genetically they count as a Weird Green. and i have the most common type of heterochromia. so like Spicy Normal.

17) Ever been arrested? no. i did get escorted by the cops to a suicide watch place once tho. that was...not a great experience.

18) Bottle or can soda? neither, unfortunately. (same health issue that makes vegetables a pain also makes carbonation the bane of my existence)

19) If you won $10,000 today, what would you do with it? give it to mom to pay the bills. i'm unemployable and rely on freebe shit so i can't use the money directly. (and i live with her so its not like it won't benefit me in some way either)

20) What's your favorite place to hang out at? home. creature comforts and all my meds are here in case of Health Issue Flairups

21) Do you believe in ghosts? *shrugs* eh. i'm kind of in a similar place to joy bibliosphere on this. check your carbon monoxide detectors and house for mold and shit first.

22) Favorite thing to do in your spare time? *~*WORLDBUILDING*~*. either reading about it or figuring it out myself. other people's settings or my own original settings. canon adjacent or full on aus. worldbuilding WORLDBUILDING WORLDBUILDING!!!

23) Do you swear a lot? *cackles* not as much as my teen years but yes. i'm still compared to a sailor at times.

24) Biggest pet peeve? hypocrisy, yes even in myself

25) In one word, how would you describe yourself? alien

26) Do you believe/appreciate romance? ??? like believe in? like think its real? buddy im not about to shit on other people's experiences just cause mine might be different. i LIKE romance but im not good at it and unsure if i'm somewhere on the arospec or not. doesn't mean its not real tho goddamn

27) Favourite and least favourite food? CHICKEN! i very much had a liaos moment when in my lifetime they were all "yeah all birds are dinosaurs" and realized my fave food was also one of my fave types of animals. least fave: greenbeans. i will throw up if i so much as smell them. even in a can i can detect them. not sure if its an actual allergy or just a truama response but its STRONG and NOT GOOD.

28) Do you believe in God? i'm an agnostic athiest (please for the love of fuck be chill about this. i WILL block even longstanding mutuals if they give me hell over this. do not test me.)

29) What makes you happy: special interests, good sleep, good food, fun time with people i care about, a break from health flairups, nice interesting weather, a well told story with a premise/characters i find interesting, unexpected good news

30) Currently listening/the last thing you listened to: uhhh. in general? a boatload of asmr white noise videos. music wise? a shortlist of 80s songs from my very early childhood (heads will roll, in for the kill, anything eurythmics, that kind of thing)

31) Favourite place to spend time: bed. im an insomniac. i HAVE NO CIRCADIAN RHYTHM. i don't GET rem sleep except in tiny less-than-a-minute bursts. any time in bed that im not in pain is blessed blessed REST time. and i need all i can get since i don't get as much out of it as most people do.

32) Favourite lyric: ??? at the moment no clue. i'll come back and change this if i think of something.

33) Recommend a film: the mummy movie with brendan fraser in it

34) Recommend a book: the coldfire trilogy (its fantasy! its scifi! there are two key ladies and a little girl with speaking lines and Very Important To The Plot powers! its got a gremlin of a man! it takes a cold hard look at some fantasy tropes and turns some on their head! it talks about the importance of redemption and the price you have to pay for it! it doesn't let a bad guy just DIE to get redemption! an asshole faces the consequences of their actions! there is a fairly strong Colonization Is Bad thread to the whole story!)

35) Recommend a band, a song, or album: you're gonna make me choose??? fuck that noise. in no particular order (and just going of of music): eurthymics, my chemical romance, matchbox twenty, imagine dragons, enya (if you want soothing), loreena mckennit (for soothing and narrative)

36) Recommend a TV show: i dont really watch tv. i cant handle all the ads, much less the noise difference is overwhelming.

37) Where are you from, and do you still live there? Where have you lived? SoCal. still live here. have only lived here. but i have visited a few spots on the coast and in nearby states.

38) Do you have any pets or animals in your life? How did you find/get them? not at the moment, but i used to. grandparents had an oldman bastard cat i adored as a kidlet. had guppies there for a while no clue where we first got them, they were cool but not really my interest (and was sad to watch them eat their own babies). had a dog i didn't want that bit me there for a short while (gave them to a good home). had a snake that died and we suspected foul play so stopped with the pets until we were somewhere safer. now im too sickly and prone to allergies to afford a pet.

39) What's the most unusual thing you've ever eaten? a cursed mixture of peanut butter, chocolate milk mix, cheeseitz and something else i forgot (garlic powder maybe?). i think i had some kind of nutritional imbalance because it actually tasted good to me for the first several bites and then it tasted like garbage. thank fuck that particular craving never happened again.

40) How did you 'find' fandom? looked up ferngully (it was new at the time) on the early internet and found my first fic (lol, oh boy!) got a little traumatized by not understanding what i stumbled upon and not knowing how to even begin to process it and backed off. a couple of years later went looking for gundam wing official art because that was my fave anime at the time and found a webring by accident. they had official art, fanart, and FANFICTION! they also very helpfully TAGGED THEIR SHIT so i learned what stuff meant and had in it and could make choices on what i could handle. and i've been in "fandom" ever since. although the current hyperfixation has changed several times since then. part of why finding a gundam wing fic from that era on ao3 (that DID NOT EXIST AT THE TIME) kind of jumpscared me, but in a good way

41) Make a list of 5 things that you see without getting up. phone, tea, stim toys, pill cutter, mints

42) How do you style your hair? i don't. i buzz it to less than a centimeter when i get annoyed by it then wait for it to grow out. when its long enough to annoy me i buzz it again.

No pressure tags: anyone who wants to do this.

OC Game

I was tagged by @tododeku-or-bust thanks, my dude!!!!

I'm talking about my main girl who lives in my brain rent free, Carmen. :)

Name: Sofia del Carmen Portillo Guerrero, Hero Alias: Ripped Gate

Nickname: Carmelita, Meme (by her younger brother)

Gender: Female

Star sign: Aries

Personality type: happy, observant, intensely dedicated to fighting/sparring so she can be a little feral, quick witted, sassy with people who annoy her, trustworthy, discreet, cautious, positive, blends in with her surroundings when under cover

Height: 5ft / 1.52 m (she is 5 feet of whoop ass)

Orientation: Bisexual :D

Nationality/Ethnicity: Mexican/Hispanic

Favorite fruit: Mangoes!

Favorite season: Spring because that's when flowers bloom

Favorite scent: coconut-y smells because they're tropical, and because of Malibu rum

Coffee, tea, or hot chocolate: Coffee, though she isn't opposed to the other two. She does love strong, caffeinated coffee that can keep her awake because she uses all the time of the day she can for her missions/research.

Average hours of sleep: 5-7, depending on the workload of the day, but if she needs to have information ready for her missions, she will sleep less than 5 hours.

Dogs or cats: DOGS!!! She and her family have owned dogs since she was a kid, and she had a husky that sadly passed away a few years prior to the beginning of my story. Now, she has a special husky as a guard/watch dog. Notice I said the dog is special.

Dream trip: She has travelled to various countries around the world for work, but she's never had the chance to go to Hawaii or other small islands like the Maldives.

Number of blankets: 4 blankets: 1 that goes under her when she sleeps, and 2 that cover her when she sleeps; and 1 she uses to wrap herself with whenever she's lounging around her apartment. She loves being warm.

Random fact: Her quirk is Portal Creation and she's the one person in her immediate family that was blessed with being able to make stable portals that are useful for transportation. She can create as many as 30 stable portals at once, and when she touches her younger brother's hand when he activates his quirk to stabilize portals, she is able to create 50 stable portals. She can even make portals over her eyes as a way for her to see into other locations, though this temporarily blinds her (but it's still so cool). She has to be very careful because if she doesn't concentrate on her portals, she could rip through time and space, which is not something she (or anyone else) wants. She can travel from place to place with it and it is very useful in combat because she can evade her opponents and then make a portal to attack them from the back; she can push villains into her portals to disorient them and this gives her the upper hand to apprehend them quickly after she kicks them out of the portals; and when her teammates create something with their quirks, she can store them in her portals to use for a later attack. She can't let her opponents stay in her portals for more than 3 seconds because they will lose their minds and she can hear their despair in her portals. She can also have other people walk through her portals to get them from one place to another, though it's better if she goes with them as their guide. One of her moves is called the "Grand Slam!" because it's an homage to her father, a retired pro hero who likes baseball; and it's her favorite sneak attack on her opponents by appearing from behind them through a portal and punching them.

I have so much to say about her!!!! And I have other ocs if others are interested, too!!!

I am tagging @eclipsedrawsthings and @an-aura-about-you !!! Please start a separate post if you do the game. <3

Meme: Top 10 vs personal top 10

Rules: List your "top 10" (or up to 10 if you haven't written that many) fics ranked by kudos on AO3. Are you surprised by what's most popular to your readers? Then, under a cut, provide your ranking of your personal top 10 fics (with explanations if you want!), and then tag a few fellow writers!

thanks @forabeatofadrum for the tag! i thought i should do this meme, having used your tag for something else...

tagging @facewithoutheart @martsonmars @fight-surrender @stitchy-queerista @bookish-bogwitch @artsyunderstudy @you-remind-me-of-the-babe @orange-peony @bunn1cula @thisbluespirit

all my most kudosed fics are CO, which is great in a way because it means 'legally blonde, the musical' is out. but also - RIP blake's 7, RIP doctor who. it's ok, i only spent years of my life writing for you.

Sex and Blood 

Keep Calm 

Hang the Moon 

Fuck the Wavering Wood

The Mage's Heir

The Sound of Silence 

The sky isn’t black anymore

Restoration Ecology

Coming up for air 

Goodbye, Norma Jean 

and my actual favs below the cut (not just CO) ....

The Mage's Heir - Carry On

The Importance of Being On Stage - Gallifrey/Who

Human Nature - B7

Restoration Ecology  - Carry On

Classroom Politics - Carry On

An Apple Cleft in Two - B7

The Enigmatic Blake - B7

Computer Chess - B7

The Guy Who Caught Him - B7

When We Were Six - Who

my favourite CO and B7 fics are all the big hitters (except not Keep Calm - it's good, but... maybe I just didn't enjoy writing it enough that early into the fandom and it's tarnished by that), plus 'Computer Chess', which is a minor work really - but i just think it works so well. the Who fics are really short - but again, i can't find much fault with them, in comparison with something like RE that i love but is FULL of faults. the Gallifrey one is seriously one of my fav things I've ever written, even though it's just the same joke over and over.

honourable mentions to things like... Hopelessly Miscast, Hang the Moon, Norma Jean in CO, Roj Blake and Other Phobias (a terrible name in that I could not remember it for a moment - I was like, I know it wasn't called Not!Gayvon) and Illyria in B7, and the Sleepwalker and Only Time Lords not to be president this Time War (another short but v good one) for Who.

artemis and/or kaldur for the headcanons ask meme :3c

waaaa my childrennnn i gotta do BOTH

Artemis:

2-4 songs that are probably on their iPod

-This Year- The Mountain Goats

-How to Rest- The Crane Wives

-Uma Thurman- Fall Out Boy

-Living it up on Top- Hadestown

the one place they sometimes end up falling asleep – where they’re not supposed to

She always falls asleep curled up somewhere most people wouldn't think to look. It's from years of knowing how to avoid Lawrence. Will has found her under the couch before. it's happened enough so he knows to leave her alone.

the game they'd destroy everyone else at

Capture the Flag. She will kill you. she doesn't tag you out she takes you down. RIP in pieces

the emoticon they’d use most often

<3 or :O

what they act like when they haven’t had enough sleep

Groucho. Grouchy. Quick to silence anyone who speaks to her. there's a scale from 1 to 10 about how important and issue is. if it's not a 7 or higher you're going to be glared at in such a way that you'll wish you were 5,000 miles away  from her wrath

their preferred hot beverage on really cold nights. or mornings. or whenever.

if she has class, she prefers coffee to help keep her focus and wake her up. However if she's got some off time or is trying to relax she likes lemongrass tea or mint.

how they like to comfort/care for themselves when they’re in a slump

Reading, or spending time with family. Getting herself lost in the pages of a good book takes herself away from the world full of problems and difficulties and allows herself to review it with fresh eyes when she comes out of the book. Reading was always a safe haven for her when she was little, and it still is now.

Sometimes however she can't always get into a book, and that's usually because she's more bothered or exhausted than she wants to admit. When this happens she goes on walks or tries to distract herself by hearing what others are up to.

what they wanted to be when they grew up

She wanted to grow up and have wings. She didn't care what she became, but being able to fly away from home and go anywhere she wanted and leave whenever she wanted was important to her.

their favorite kind of weather

Mid-winter weather. A majority of her childhood, her father was always away working in the winter it seemed. She was often alone, but he'd always bring food or money the few times he returned. She didn't have to deal with him a lot and it also allowed her to develop a sense of independence. she felt more confident making friends and having them over to hang out. She had more time to figure out who she was. Even as an adult, Artemis is the most productive, upbeat, and happiest when it's cold out.

thoughts on their singing voice (decent? terrible? soprano? alto?)

Beautiful. She has a LOVELY voice. she's shy about sharing it though, so only the original team has heard it. It's something that she sees as hers and hers alone. if you've heard her sing it means you mean a lot to her and she trusts you

how/what they like to draw or doodle

Not much of an artist, but if sh does doodle they're sharp, quick and geometric. a repeating cube, an arrow or two, or several cross hatching patches in the corners

Kaldur: (my beloved)

2-4 songs that are probably on their iPod

-She- Dodie

-Would That I- Hozier

-Nobody- Mitski

-Canary in a Coal Mine- The Crane Wives

the one place they sometimes end up falling asleep – where they’re not supposed to

Usually the floor of wherever he was working. he loses track of time and just passes out. 

the game they'd destroy everyone else at

Most card games. He learned very quickly how to count cards when he first came to the surface. he had no idea that was considered cheating and was deeply upset to discover that he'd been unintentionally dishonest......not uh...not upset enough to stop counting though.

the emoticon they’d use most often

;O; or ;3

what they act like when they haven’t had enough sleep

He doesn't hear anything. He gets to a point where he just switches to autopilot and hopes to god no one asks too much of him. speech is difficult, and often his sentences don't make any sense because he'll switch between Atlantean and English.

their preferred hot beverage on really cold nights. or mornings. or whenever.

Hot Chocolate. he tries very hard not to have it because he doesn't want it's meaning to fade.

how they like to comfort/care for themselves when they’re in a slump

Often times Kaldur doesn't realize he's in a slump. He's always had trouble processing when he needs to take a step back until he's in that bad place. Wyynde is good at being able to tell and is even better at getting him to take some time off to relax. Sometimes he calls Garth just to talk or clear his head. Other times his body just picks a time to rest, but only when he's gotten particularly bad.

Putting a more gentle addition onto this, in Atlantis, sea Anemones are considered pets, and very adorable ones. Kaldur actually has two in his surface apartment that he likes to watch when he's feeling stressed or tired. they're very calming. The pink one is named Phillippe and the orange one is named Calypso.

what they wanted to be when they grew up

Swordfish. he would be very fast and have a sword on his face. any questions? 

When he was a little older he considered teaching, but he wasn’t overly certain of anything. he just wanted to see the surface world. so the aqualad opportunity was very lucky for him 

their favorite kind of weather

Warm and sunny, with a cool breeze. Spring basically. it's very refreshing.

thoughts on their singing voice (decent? terrible? soprano? alto?)

Decent voice, but he doesn't really like to sing

how/what they like to draw or doodle

He tries very hard to focus and take notes when he needs to, but sometimes he gets so bored that he can't pay attention anymore and doodles various emotions in the corners of his paper. they look like catcrumb doodles

[butweareafamily]

rules - I bolded the most important bits in case you can't read long text

hello everyone, this is a mutuals only and canon divergent side-blog that will likely only follow back a few people because it’s created to fix things I didn’t like in canon and/or try other canon divergent plots that didn’t happen. It’s important you read the rules because there are characters I don’t interact with (due to how I think Emma would realistically react to some things outside of a tvshow and its limitations) and some changes in Emma’s feelings. Also because of triggers, because Emma has been abused in many ways.

My name is Ele and I’m 30+, pronouns she/her, super friendly but chronically ill. I follow back from butwearefamilymain. If I follow you with my other main blog thecharmingknightemma you are not required to follow it back. I may follow you with that Emma and not this one because I’m extra selective about the plots I want to explore with Emma Swan but can see things happening with my au one.

If we are mutuals and you want to specify the season/context/verse when you send a meme or reply to something, I welcome it. If you don’t, I’ll pick randomly. 

I’m primarily interested in roleplaying with her parents, son, and especially her husband, but I’m open to other friends too, au ships and so on; at the moment I’m not confident enough to write crossovers but I’m open to do that in the future when I have fully developed this canon divergent Emma. Here to plot for Elsa or Anna or other people to become best friends with her through the seasons. I like prolonging seasons as needed to give everyone time to grow and develop, especially the first half of season 3 by ‘trapping’ Pan for real and having him escape and curse everyone only later. Opens and memes and starter calls are always open, no expiration date, and if you worry about me considering you too pushy: if you request something from my wishlist I’ll be super happy, I’m a rper who loves when people read her stuff.

            ************************************************************************

Now here’s where the more controversial positions I have come into play, and while I don’t mean to offend anyone and I do rp with these characters in other au Emma blogs and respect the fact that you like them, I don’t want to do it here where Emma won’t be friendly due to what happens in canon: I will not write threads with Regina, Gold (after season 3) and Neal in this blog. An exception can be made for interactions with Gold: since her feelings depend on what the others have done in the past and present, if you write an au version of him that didn’t do anything to harm Emma&co. starting in season 4 (basically if he doesn’t rip Killian’s heart out/tries to kill Emma in 4a, and everything after that), Emma has no particular problems with him. 

She will never consider or call Regina a friend, but she will try to keep things civil between them for the sake of everyone in town, even if sometimes she has to bite her tongue (while not accepting any criticism over rescuing Marian and not being okay with being scolded for her ‘stupidity’ or having her loved ones insulted). With Neal she was more forceful about not wanting to date him and realized that she only loved her idealized memory of him, not the man he is now and that she doesn’t know.

If for any reason we decide Neal is alive in the background, they are simply co-parenting and he comes over to pick Henry up, she’s polite, but they don’t spend time together as friends because it hurts.

If you love one of those three canon characters or have a multi and write some of them too we can just avoid the subject, just let me know or otherwise her negative comments about canon events might happen.    Also I’m sorry but the only child of Emma I’ll write with is Henry, not because I don’t love the idea of Hope but because I have too many ideas of how she’d raise her and other children, I find it too godmod-y from both sides.

Also,  Emma’s relationship with Belle depends on whether she’s supportive of her husband/ex husband unless we write an au, regardless of whether she and Killian are friends. 

Other divergences: unless we plot a different name she’s not happy about her baby brother being named after Neal for several reasons; she will call him ‘baby bro’ and ‘little brother’ and any other possible variation of petnames. To be clear she wouldn’t be happy about another sibling being called Killian either, even if Killian had stayed dead. Just no.

I ignore the idea that Emma being good comes from her parents taking away the ‘evil potential’ for several reasons, including logic, but I’m okay with the ‘author’ having made her parents believe it/having written their actions and thoughts to force the story in that direction. I am also okay with Emma ‘reverting’ to hiding things from people in season 6 whether she’s called out for it or not, since a couple of years with a family (and more tragedies during these years) will not undo a lifetime of trauma but people have a right to get frustrated. For every step forward, if she feels rejected or betrayed she’ll take ten back.  Very interested in au Dark Swan plots, you can find examples here X.

It’s not necessary for you to read more details, you can guess some plot changes because for example she would tell Regina she can’t enslave a man and put him in a mirror as she pleases, but I’ll still write them in case you want/need to know more: they’ll be in the about page.

Just keep in mind that Emma is an incredibly traumatized woman who never had a ‘normal’ life, and before turning 28 believed to have never been loved and to always have been maliciously betrayed if she tried to hope it would work, with plenty abuse in her past (including literal physical and emotional abuse in her childhood as I state in the triggers section): a few months of having a family while also living through more tragedies certainly didn’t fix all of it nor taught her how to be perfectly functional and nice and reasonable at all times. She always tried to do her best and she has good instincts, and many wounds will heal but scars will stay. 

here the other standard rules:

-nobody here should get stressed out about replies. They happen when we can write and feel like it, if you need to drop a thread do it, be slow, give priority to what your mood tells you. I’m here for both of us to have fun, or we stop and do something else, that’s all. 

-nsfw is tagged and under read more if it happens.

-I try to tag everything but if you have special triggers do tell me. One exception is threads that involve a ship. I can’t tag every single thread with a Killian ‘captain swan’ especially if the other mun hasn’t given the okay for a ship, and by then it’d be quicker for you to just block the other rper name anyway. 

-triggers (to be read even if not all bolded so you don’t get surprised later): I don’t want to write rape or toxic relationships between our muses, in the backstory is fine (and canon, for many). No miscarriage. Please tag your gore images, daddy kink and nsfw in general or I can’t follow back. In this blog there will be talk of child abuse (Emma being the victim), abuse in general (especially since she will interact with abuse victims), PTSD, violence. Specifically, Emma was physically abused by some guardians, emotionally neglected or abused by others, and while for several reasons I don’t write her as a victim of sexual abuse, for some time she was canonically a homeless child and was aware she was at great risk of it, likely had to run to protect herself more than once. However she felt used by Neal for years, when it seemed that he had just been a conman, until finding him in Manhattan (and it helped a lot, though it doesn’t erase that for years she thought that was the truth), and she is NOT comfortable thinking about the romantic and sexual aspects of her relationship with Walsh, who turned out to be manipulating her and lying the entire time about everything, and was ready to kill her as well. 

-I can ship lots of things: Wooden Swan, Gremma and Mad Swan too? Even Frankenswan in more au ways and ScarletSwan, and crossover ships and others, but they require lots of plotting. Captain Swan is still OTP though and the default. If we are writing together and you sorta see a ship, this is your permission to ask. I don’t forceship, ever. 

-I adore Mary Margaret and David, if Emma is ever a bit unfair to them in threads or they made mistakes it can be solved in universe, you don’t have to worry about me disliking them. If anything this blog is also so that they can have a better and deeper relationship. 

-very okay with aus, other ways the show could have gone, other ways for her and Killian to fall in love, threads where one of her parents got to raise her, different ships, stronger friendships, and so on.

-I don’t want to hurt anyone, if I’m ever accidentally rude or hurt your feelings you can totally tell me! I’ll be happy to fix things and clear anything up if language barriers are what led to the misunderstanding. Just don’t be passive aggressive. Every time someone has told me ‘Ele, explain to me this thing because I’m feeling upset’ I ran to fix it, and it’s usually just a misunderstanding. Every time someone is passive-aggressive they stop existing for me.

There's a dead human in our house.

I do not kill people. That is- that is my LEAST favourite thing to do.

And I, uh, well I stabbed him 37 times in the chest.

Yeah, I'm in the wrong here. I suck.

My stomach was making the rumblies that only hands would satisfy.

You sunk an entire cruise ship.

I would think I would remember something like that.

Would you believe it's strawberry milkshake?

I will not apologize for art.

Looking at the trajectory of the moon and the sun, probably at the bottom of the ocean.

I have a problem. I have a serious problem.

Shh, do you hear that? That's the sound of forgiveness.

That is what forgiveness sounds like. Screaming and then silence.

I don't know about you but I am having a wonderful time here.

The people have spoken. Viva la resistance!

That was a foot. I appear to have swallowed an entire person.

Well, that explains why my mojito is taking so long...

It was horrifying. Your mouth unhinged like a snake.

That hurt my feelings. Now we're BOTH in the wrong.

Well, I'm building a meat dragon, and not just ANY meat will do.

I feel like I've been issued a challenge.

I totally don't remember your name.

Well, if you'll excuse me, I have some pictures to delete from my computer.

I'm not responsible for this. I've been jamming on the saxophone all morning.

Clue number 1- the imposter is a phantom.

What's that? It's hard to hear you over the sound of a melting city.

I ripped the tag off a mattress.

Who's laughing? Clearly not all the people who just exploded.

Friendship is two friends munching on a well-cooked face together.

You're right, it's not nearly as tasteful as I pictured in my head.

Probably because I'm a dangerous sociopath with a long history of violence.

It's a lovely day out, we're having a great time, what have you done.

I stepped on a ladybug by accident.

I may have created a crack in space-time.

I think I was expecting worse.

But this is totally fucked, bro!

I don't understand how or why you do anything!

And the payment is baby hands.

I'm the Henry Ford of human meat.

It's not a meat grinder, it's an orphan stomper.

It's everything. Everything you've done, ever.

That looks like a meat dragon.

Did you finish your meat dragon?

Now how would you feel if I called your work a monstrosity?

Of course I had to use faces. Anything else would be disrespecting the art.

I disagreed with the election results.

I think their bodies are still in my blood canal.

You're sitting. You never sit.

Pianos aren't supposed to bleed and scream!

Why can't you go horrify someone else?

You made a mask of my face?

To some, you are now known as Nikolai Sponakoff, brutal leader of the Russian opium cartel.

I used up the rest of my savings buying the swans.

I buried a large chest of dubloons once, I could go dig that up.

A lot of something is in a hole somewhere.

I'm putting on some music. I'm not listening anymore.

I think I would have remembered dismembering someone and putting all their bits on the ground right here.

You said you weren't coming back.

I'm kind of just freestyling it these days.

Oh, it's my gore pit.

I think my legs are broken.

That's probably a basilisk. It probably won't bother us. The stupid thing only eats CHIPOTLE!

Were you always this creepy?

All the hands are eaten, all the meat creatures are made, unleashed, and then also eaten...

Yelling. Also a felony.

I'm sorry if this violates your restraining order, but it's important.

Oh, hey. I didn't do that...
