#Just wanna have some fun it's been A LOT since I played XenoVerse

[tiny-sugar-dove]

Guess who returned to continue DBZ Kakarot! Already messing ma boy 17💗

[doubleddenden]

I haven’t beaten the game yet, but I’m close. But, until then, I decided to take a short break and make myself a little trainer card and team shot of my team from Pokemon Xenoverse, aka Xenoverse Per Aspera Ad Astra. 

Couple things to get out of the way

1. I did not make these fakemon sprites, these were made by the team and artists that made the game itself. I simply dug them out of the game files and edited in MS paint. There were a couple of things I had to edit to make it work for transparency issues or just minor corrections I wanted to touch up, but other than this, those sprites are entirely the work of the Xeno Team

2. I did make my own trainer sprite, BUT, as some people might notice, I recycled some parts just because I just wanted to make something fun but quick. This one was just recycled from my own past trainer sprites which were made with official sprites.

3. I keep a template to make trainer cards with, in case some might be curious why it looks so similar. I DID change up a couple of things, mainly editing a Quick Ball icon to look like the Xenoball. The little swirly bit is also from the in game files. The team pentagon and X shape however is something I decided to mess with for funsies. 

I’m sure I’m forgetting something else, but this is just my way of showing how much fun I had with Xenoverse. I did something similar with Pokemon Uranium a long time ago, and I thought it was only fair to give similar treatment to the second fan game I’ve come close to beating (for the record, I still need to beat Uranium). I’ve had so much fun playing this game and the story WENT places man. Figuratively and quite literally geographically and dimensionally. I’m on Victory Road now, and this is pretty much the team I decided to keep on. I think I finalized them around gym 5. I’m actually sad that these guys aren’t real and that they won’t get to join my real Pokemon when I’m finished, so I’m immortalizing them in my own way. Also, for reference, X Pokemon are basically regional variants BUT in the form of a boss fight usually and from another dimension.

My team, none nicknamed so I can get to know their species names better:

1. Shulong: Water/Dragon: My starter and such a cute little dude. No, I didn’t decide not to evolve it, the starters in this game are very peculiar and don’t quite evolve normally- For spoiler’s sake, I decided to omit its transformation I’m currently using. Let me tell you though, it. Is. AWESOME. Anyway, Shulong was my first Pokemon in this game and I LOVE how important to the story your starter is and how you two have history and a visible bond. I imagine my fictional in-universe self keeps it as a shoulder buddy.

2. Electaburst: Fire/Electric: The first X Pokemon I caught in the game as an Elekid, and probably one of the best fire pokemon in the game AND one of the fakemon that made me REALLY wanna play this game. I love the Electabuzz family a lot, with Electivire being my favorite, but Burst has clawed his way into my heart as a favorite as well. He’s been super reliable since day 1 and actually kind of had a bit of a “rivalry” levels wise with Shulong, with the two pretty easily staying about a level or so between each other and with the two cleaning up each other’s messes. Electaburst is definitely a heavy hitter though. I imagine we’re like total bros tho, fist bumps and stuff like that. 

3. Whisteract: Ghost/Fairy: During a certain portion of the game, I caught her as a Nunvil in a ghost forest and she pretty much carried me until gym 3. For a bit, I thought I might have to replace her, but right before gym 5 I found the item to evolve her, and she kicks SO MUCH ass now. Sure, she’s about as frail as a napkin, but her Curse is super reliable and practically saved my ass during some very intense X battles. I imagine this thing has a bit of an issue with personal space, but we get along just fine.

4. Mylomute: Normal/Ice: Its a doggo. I wanted it. I got it. She’s super frail to fighting types but my dog the doggo saved my ass more times than I can count. Quite literally the under dog on my team, even more literally when she uses Dig. I caught her a bit before gym 2 and evolved her a bit before... gym 4, I believe, and then she started hitting hard. As for how I think we get along- I have 6 dogs IRL, I know what a dog does. I think she’s a bit hyper and a bit rough with affection, but ultimately I have experience with that and I think it would fit this thing.

5. Rapidash X: Flying in Quiet Mode, Electric in Storm Mode: I obtained this beauty before gym 5. It was a bit difficult getting her to level up at first, but then suddenly she caught up SUPER QUICK and saved me during the game’s haunted house bit. There’s a special trick to Rapidash X in this game in that they transform from Flying to Electric form when their HP hits a certain limit. Whether in physical flying mode or special electric mode, this thing is a BEAST. I had to fight one as a boss and... Oh boy, that was harsh. I was gonna replace it with the Sound Type Eeveelution, but I got attached to this thing. I also have experiences with horses, so I think Rapidash would be a bit affectionate and let me ride around, and probably nibbles my hair like my horses used to when I was a kid.

6. Rexquiem: Ground/Dark: Okay, I know I have a bias towards edgy corvids. Am I ashamed? Not even a little bit. Listen. Listen. This bird is SO COOL. I got it right before gym 5, and what’s hilarious is that I was about to raise it from a pathetic baby to this form- then I found the 1st stage evolution in the wild, tossed the baby, and immediately evolved this thing with the stone it needed. Its so powerful and can take a lot of shit. This one feels like it REALLY needs to be real right tf now. I imagine my in fiction self is also a bit of a corvid dork, and Rexquiem is both a bro and also just constantly like “Oh my god, shut up, PLEASE.” Maybe he lets me ride his back idk.

Separating story canon, I think fictional Den came to Eldiw through some dimensional rift by accident and just got to work spazzing around and accidentally saving the day. The gym leaders definitely think I’m some weirdo with questionable sleeping habits and questionable fashion sense- but, results speak for themselves since I somehow end up in the right place at the right time. He definitely keeps trying to catch a certain Gengar in this game (because its also one of my favs), and that Gengar thinks he’s fuckin weird as hell and may be scared of him. 

anyway, thank you to the Xeno team and Weedle for making such a fun game. I can’t draw well right now, so I hope you don’t mind this.

Questions about OC’s people make

I’m answering this by a separate post instead of your ask, since not everyone online is friendly, and I would never want to even have a smidge of risk fall onto anyone

Don’t worry, skip to TLDR for a summery 

That kind of idea has been around for a long time. People like making OC’s so they can interact with canon characters, it’s part of the fun! It’s also not unusual for people to try and make their character the star of a series (you see this a lot with characters that tend to be labeled mary/gary stu).

Now I am a BIG LOVER of OC’s and fan characters, and I’ve seen a lot of good/bad/ugly/awesome ones. (I’m also gonna age myself a lot here, so excuse me for that)

This gonna be a long ride, I apologize

Lemme age myself for a moment

Fandoms have had a lot of self insert/or ocs that change the main story line for a long, long, time. A really good example of this is the Naruto fandom (the toxic beast, would not recommend time traveling to join this fandom in the early days they can and will hurt you, but they are better now from what  understand). The biggest example of this is when the original series ended BEFORE the age up arc/shippuuden

A lot of people didn’t like that Sasuke (person A) left the village and never came back in the main series. So, a lot of people (a lot of people who had a crush on person A mainly) made their oc’s alter the timeline to where he stayed.

It doesn’t even have to be this extreme, it can be as easy as wanting to participate in an event that happened in canon and changing it so OC solves the problem and alters the timelines (say to keep a character they really enjoy from dying).

A lot of time this happens because an event happens in canon people don’t like when a character dies, storyline takes a turn no one cares for (LOOKING AT YOU BEASTARS!)). So their OC’s/Self Inserts adjust it to a storyline that the reader/creator enjoys.

Now the problem with this in most fandoms is that there is ONE main storyline.

Example again, Naruto (this fandom wont let me go HELP)

This series is very linear, and there’s not wiggle room implicating there could be more universes/aus.

An example of the opposite is BOTH Voltron (Netflix adaptation) and Dragon Ball

Both series have messing with alternate universes, and timelines. Dragon ball goes a bit extreme and implies in the Xenoverse games there can be infinite alternate realities whereas Voltron implied a butt ton (scientific measurement LOL) of alternate universes.

This is important because adding in big events NOT canon to the timeline is easier since there’s a lot of different universes this COULD have taken place, which leaves the main canon storyline alone and safe.

So if they added say...a sibling of person X or Y, there is the possibility in one of the MANY timelines/realities they could have existed.

This is a problem for MOST series because a lot of fandoms don’t have this, and so adding a character in can become a problem. So most of the times people have to imply it’s an AU character OR add them in anyway for the sake of a story/fanfic and just accept canon is dead and we have killed it (for good, better, or worse.).  

NOW - To the Juuni Taisen

This series ALSO has a series to paths/alternate timelines people could work in for fan characters. The problem lies in the fact that it implies that despite there being multiple paths, Nezumi destroys those realities by not choosing those routes as his primary.

It’s actually a great tie in to the fact he loves video games.

If going down path A doesn’t work, he reloads the save and tries path B and so on. But if he decides that path J is the one he wants to continue playing on, then he can not both play J and A, B, C, D ect. He can only canonically play path J, since that is the canon path he has chosen.

When people make oc’s usually they want to be a part of the series or have a character interact with certain characters. Sometimes it’s to change the story line, and sometimes it’s to alter (intentional or not) the main storyline. To be honest, in this case, unless the character doesn’t interfere with the Juni Taisen it leaves a LOT of limited wiggle room for ocs in the series. Why? Well they all DIE, so if you do want to interact with the characters with an oc, it has to be before and not after, unless you have Nezumi. Everyone dies but him, so if you wanna smooch Usagi’s cute face or have your OC take Tora to therapy, you gotta have all it take place before or in an AU, OR alter the canon storyline.

Now back to the different paths, why not choose them? Again, it’s because of Nezumi (this boy is both blessed and cursed). He loads path J, making Au’s possible and other paths canon, but they canonically never actually happened because he CHOSE one path before the others.  

So if you do want to say ‘my character was part of X path’ that’s great! But I think a lot of people may realize that those alternate paths got erased from existence when Nezumi chose a different path. Since he did that, there are specific ways around it, but it makes it hella hard.

Ways around it

1) Alter canon timeline via Nezumi, and have him bring them back

2) Have ocs before canon

3) Time travel (I use this for my own oc, which I would be happy to go in depth with should anyone ask)

4) Alter canon timeline

I’m really not surprised OC’s are made to interact with  the canon story in this fandom, or the fact they drastically change it. No one really enjoys seeing a favorite die and stay dead, especially when there was a chance they could have come back (not that they should, I love you Usagi but ya need therapy).

AND that’s just part of it

Another big part is wish fulfillment.

If OC was part of series then when X happened oc would have been there to help. That changes the storyline, but it makes the person who created the OC happy.

Example:

Ending of Beastars (I’d recommend the series for older audiences but the ending sucks nuggets) was REALLY unsatisfying for me. I had already been doing a fan comic based on it, but since I didn’t like the ending I’m going to actually redo my comic and change the ending (I will put an AU disclaimer because, obviously) but it will fulfill MY WISH for an ending that is satisfying to me

But again, Beastars doesn’t have multiple timelines, so I have to change canon for my series to make sense within it.

Another subset of this is people who want to be part of the series due to escapism. They want a happy ending for a series they enjoy, and they want to be part of it (this gets in to more self insert territory). Sometimes life is shitting on them hardcore and so to have a little power back by their fan stories, it makes real life just a smidge more bearable. 

LONG STORY SHORT

Any OC’s added to series is somewhat altering canon. Juuni Taisen is unique in that it has a lot of alternate timelines, but the problem is the timelines get cleared from existence the moment  Nezumi chooses a different path.

Personally, I think it can be fun to work around the constraints of the series, but if you’re going to go in depth with OC’s in this fandom, you do have to alter a lot of the series in a lot of ways. It’s valid to ask ‘Why not just choose a different path? Or do an AU?’ but a lot of people want to be part of the series themselves or have an OC to make the series ok.

I used to be a stickler about the believability of OC’s when I was younger (I was especially critical when I was taking college level English courses in high school) but I’m not like that anymore. This is in part to, again, the Naruto fandom.

I’ve loved OC’s forever, but when I made one for that series people were awful. People would send me anons telling me to kill myself, how much my writing and art sucked, ect. At the time I was a really sensitive bean. I stopped writing, I stopped doing a lot of artwork, and I stopped creating. I took a lot of it super personally (thanks anxiety and depression). BUT then something terrible happened.

I don’t know if anyone here would remember when the series ended completely, but when it did the fandom went nuts. I don’t mean just whining Destial level, I mean NUTS. They threatened to kill the creator if he didn’t change the ending, they sent threats to his family, they got violent as HELL.

They went way to far. It was really kind of scary?  

But it made me realize something. There will always be someone who doesn’t like what you create, and there will be always someone who will criticize the way you write, draw, express yourself creatively.

Don’t let it stop you

TLDR; 

People make OC’s and alter storylines for a variety of reasons. That’s okay. No, you don’t have to enjoy all the content people make, and YES you can have your opinions about it. I don’t like every OC or fanfic I come across. Some OC’s are wonderful, and some I don’t like. It’s my opinion. It’s okay to have an opinion. You are allowed not to enjoy things. You are allowed to think critically. 

However, I do think people have a right to enjoy themselves. They’re making content for them, not for me, and that’s okay. I don’t have to read it, I don’t have to look at it, and I don’t have to spend time going through content I don’t enjoy. If they wanna make a character who supermans and saves the everyone in the Juni Taisen and flies off to mars, I may not like it but I will 100% support their creativity and right to do it.  

Take that cringe culture and throw it away. Do what makes you happy. It wont always makes sense in canon, or it may not be the most clever way to do something, but do it anyway. Life is hard, fandoms are meant to be fun. As long as you’re not hurting or attacking anyone, you can be be as cringe as you’d like.

You all can make OC’s however you want, anyway you want. We all deserve a little serotonin.

Either way, I am here to support you and all your creations.

online uni classes tmrw i keep stimestamps for whenever i finally post this -Tuesday 3/11/2020 02:41used to be around 85-90kg in 12th grade , put on around 20-28 kilos since March 2020 , managed to lose 8-10 kilos in the summer but i m still around 30kilos up from the normal amount based on my height , got a subscription to a gym jan2019 but only managed to get into it for a short period on spring 2019 then autumn 2019 then lost motivation and let go , since March2020 i ve been doing some weights at home , tho when i look at myself in the mirror it doesnt really change how bad i feel about my body , i think my old motivation used to be a girl i used to have a crush on but not surethings with my parents werent all that great and i was mentally better when i would talk with them , they are openminded af and supportive too but puberty makes you see stuff differently like everyone is against you like the world is against you (last one might be true dunno yet) , living on my own now seems to be a bit better but as our Greek ancestors used to say theres no good without bad and the bad in this scenario is that its lonely as fuck , having lived for 18 years with my family it really hits a weird spot , everything feels lonelier now with the virus spreading around not being able to see others as much as we used to , uni doesnt feel nice , many people dont pay attention and its like the second half of 12th grade all over againgot my monthly money 4days ago , went from 200 to 9.28 quickly , when i have money i spend when i dont i m stingy , mostly like to build computers , watch lots of Linus , Paul , Kyle , Jay etc. most of my money goes to buying stuff about computers food , used to give lots of money to internet cafes when i used to hang out with the guys from school , not anymorewith the start of uni we all met new friends even i but i still feel like i am drifting apart day by day , stopped talking to my old girl friend cause i was kinda done with her attitude , called me some names i didnt appreciate because i put up with her attitude , most of the time in her own world , only would really pay attention and try to change herself when it was something she cared about , one of them wasnt her character , but to give the goods of her she was a good friend dont know if i can say she still is a friend or just someone i know , she helped me even with the girl i had a crush on , was really fun on trips with the guitar group , all in all a fun person , thing is i stopped texting her and telling her to go out cause it was 80% me trying and the other 20% her and i think that proved right when i stopped talking to her cause i thought she will see that i m not talking to her she ll think somethings wrong she ll message me to go out and have fun , send me a happy bday message posted some pics of me , didnt send me anything else after , stopped talking to her around the start of October , if i hadnt asked her something about her uni and if it wasnt my bday i dont think we wouldve talked in all of october . last saturday i was working in the area she lives in my city decided to call her sometimes didnt answer tried to suprise her and see how she is by going to her house , noone answered maybe they were on a trip idk , but it feels weird man , in the first half of the year me and a common friend of her and me went out one night , ended up being the bad guy to make her understand that she did something wrong that night , after she left i was left with our common friend talked about stuff and mostly her and i expressed myself , i knew that coming summer me and her would end up at different places so i wanted to tell her all the wrongs with her so that she could finally understand what i ve been putting up against and make her understand that she HAS to pay attention to people around her and that she will meet new people and that she ll have to be careful about her character , used to have a bit of crush on her back in 7th grade , can kinda understand why that went . On the other hand i didnt want to part ways with her with our last words being me ranting , one thing brought the other and she wont be going to her uni's city until early 2021 so i managed to go out with her some more in the summer and september . kinda feels bad to see that almost noone remembered my bday cause i remember in cram school when someone had their bday they would get a fucking cake , dont mistake me i got one , from my ma my two sisters and my moms husband , thing is i wanted to have something happen with friends , nothing happend , around 4 people remembered my bday and the others just send me some happy bday messages after seeing posts from the girl i m talking about .also heres a good song to listen to while reading stuff on reddit Sorrow from FSN by MN64 cant post links from what i understandgonna stop here for now might edit later -Tuesday 3/11/2020 15:15thing is reddit is not the right place to get help and i need a friend but it seems i cant get any from my friends , even my other friend the guy i used to sit with in all middle-high school he has drifted apart , talking more with other of his friends doing other stuff etc , that one time i needed to talk to him he said i ll call you in a while , waitied 1 and a half hour then asked him why he didnt call he said he forgot (i think) , feelsbadmananyway i dont think i m gonna keep editing this i ranted enough , gonna leave the post up for a day or so in case anyone wants to add anything then taking it down -Tuesday 3/11/2020 23:58

Mindless Self Indulgence

I’m Blue! If I were green, I would die. I’m going on 24, I started roleplaying in 2007. So that’s, what, eleven years? I’m old. I am a huge Transformers fan, I think I love it more than comics and horror! I took a break from anime since I kinda grew out of it, but due to the likes of Dragonball Super and One Punch Man, I’m back on that ball.

I pretty much have no rules when it comes to the actual roleplaying. Go nuts on the plots, I can play smut without plot or with, those are my favorite. I double or nothing. You play your character and my character love interest, I will do the same for you. Then there’s you the potential partner. I only ask to let me know when you are uncomfortable. I know I tend to spam, my internet connection is ridiculously bad. I live in the middle of nowhere Texas, thus the lowest speed possible. It goes in and out like a bad habit. If you haven’t heard from me, I lost connection. I also ask to not force me into playing with you and respect my opinion. Both had been broken and I blocked both fools. I usually go for Canon/OC because who doesn’t want to indulge a little bit? This also means I don't care if you wanna do self inserts. It'll be fun, so why not?

My cravings! Oh my cravings! I’m an old school, but there’s some that I have seen that are probably not on this list. If you have any questions, please don’t be afraid to email me.

TRANSFORMERS: If it has the franchise name, I'm up on that. I can play any continuity, the comics, G1, Beast Wars, Unicron Trilogy, Animated, Prime, hell I'll do that weird miniseries! Hit me up!

HELLBOY: I just saw the new movie and went on a bender on the comics plus the previous movies.

DRAGON BALL (Z, Super, FighterZ, or Xenoverse): I have soooo many ideas for the recent games and for Super! I really want someone to come to me ready for me to gush on you about this series. I have a plot for Fighterz and Xenoverse ready!

HORROR MOVIES: I'm a monster lover. I watch so many of these and then my emotional state is reset. Then I get conflicted feelings to express through rp. I tend to go dark with this to get it out of my system before going on to the love stuff. I will be able to do the love stuff for you early on if you want, but I ask that you wait on mine. I’m looking for someone who would do some choice movies, mainly Nightbreed. But I have others I am willing to do, which is a lot so hit me.

DISNEY: Because why not? I found this cute manga where a princess is getting princess tips from other princesses. And that tickled my Disney bone the right way and I got an idea.

COMICS: Mainly Marvel and DC. I'm so down for some superhero action! I have a few ideas and one self insert idea if anyone would indulge me. My body is ready!

ANIME: This is list is almost comparable to my comic list so you’re going to have to throw a name at me and I’ll say Si or No. I’m always open for recommendations!

I hope I didn’t scare anyone away. I am so tired and pent up for getting a horrendous meal. I want some form of release. Please contact me at bluewill.like2play@gmail.com or DM me here at Blue#8622. But is for the main event. I hope I hear from you and live deliciously.

SHIPPING INFO.       Answer the following for your muse(s) so people       know how shipping works on your blog. REPOST.       Don’t reblog.

{TBH this meme may feel like a waste of time to read for some people since ultimately I’m not that actively looking to ship Nappa on this roleplay blog. But there are things I’d like to talk about in case someone comes along who does wanna ship etc, and working on this helped me understand and cope with some issues I was having earlier this year in relation to working on ships with others. I apologize for how long it is though. I may sound super indifferent or negative at times in this meme, but I explain at length the reasons why below. Hopefully people don’t equate that with being completely closed off to the idea of shipping. We’re both just...selective in terms of shipping on this blog.}

WHAT’S YOUR OTP FOR YOUR MUSE?:

At this point in time, I have no OTPs for the Nappa I play here on this blog.

WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO RP WHEN IT COMES TO SHIPPING?:

I know this topic comes up in the next part, but I just wanna throw this out here: I’m not into shipping my muse with any other muse who is under 18. For obvious reasons.

I’m good with doing anything I feel would be in-character for my muse to do. Though because I have so little experience writing him in a ship, there are still things I’ll learn about him as far as romance and sexual attraction goes. The asks I get on this blog have already helped me learn more about the muse that I portray, so that’s pretty neat! And I thank you all who have helped with that! :3

Depending on how the relationship develops between muses, I could see fluff happening. Especially in a healthy relationship. I headcanon that Nappa is into tasteful PDA and is affectionate – both verbally, and physically – with women he’s involved with in a romantic way. He’ll have a bit of a Saiyan twist to his affections, but he’s a genuine person with how he feels so that part of his personality can easily lead to romantic fluff once he’s comfortable in a defined relationship. He just might be a bit silly or awkward with it because Saiyans aren’t exactly romantic in conventional ways, especially in the beginning of their relationship. But I swear I will usually play this up for cute and endearing comedy. If things are uncomfortably awkward for either muse, that’s not a good sign and the ship probably isn’t gonna happen unless we figure out how to fix it, if it can be fixed.

Romance will be very experimental, because I headcanon that Nappa’s never been in love romantically before. That would have to include an education/learning process, and effort put into the relationship from both of our muses, and us muns’ side. Nappa is proven to be capable of unconditional love in canon. It just has to happen with the right person for him, y’know? I’m also not opposed to one-sided feelings on either of our muses’ sides.

Because I’ve spent a lot of my roleplay experience writing Nappa in a situation where he’s left with unresolved anger and bitterness for what happened to him in canon, I’m really not up for putting Nappa into an unhealthy relationship and put him through a lot of negative emotions. I don’t want to ship him with anyone who brings out the worst in him. He wouldn’t be happy, and that wouldn’t be fun for me to write responses for.

Graphic smut for a roleplay thread is off the table. If our muses have a strong enough bond in their relationship where it is natural for both characters to want to engage in sexual activity, I would skip to afterwards. I don’t mind implying things, or writing sensual scenes. {More information on what that means comes comes up later in this meme.}

HOW LARGE DOES THE AGE GAP HAVE TO BE TO MAKE IT UNCOMFORTABLE?:

Again a huge NO on anyone under 18, and even at age 18, that’s really too young for my muse. 20-30 year-olds may even be too young, unless they are mentally mature. Nappa can be childish sometimes, but he’s still a full-grown man who’s about 60 years old with lots of life-experience. If your muse is young enough to be his kid, that’ll be on his mind. He’s not going to be comfortable with anyone as a love interest if they act overly childish and bratty, especially for little to no reason. He’ll complain about that sort of person if they’re in his presence, even if there’s no shipping potential going on. If your muse acts like a child, he’ll treat her like one.

Age gaps are going to be a thing I have to deal with since few people play muses as old as mine, and if they are older, they don’t look it or act too differently from 15-30 year olds. I’m not fully against age gaps, in fact I think they’re interesting, so long as the characters can respect one another and are even with mental maturity.

Respect and maturity are two key things that have to be there for a ship with Nappa to work. It’s okay if the two bicker at first, or don’t always see eye-to-eye, but they need to get along. There has to be a strong friendship or at the very least some fair amount of kindness from the other person before Nappa can feel any sort of romantic and sexual interest he'll think about or want to act on.

 ARE YOU SELECTIVE WHEN SHIPPING?:  

Yes, mostly because my muse is a choosy person. 

Nappa has an elitist attitude, and because he’s never experienced romantic love, he observes male-female relationships with the perspective of if he and the woman in question will make desirable children, and if she’ll make a good mother. That is just how his mentality works at the moment. It would take a lot of chemistry and a woman with a lot of desirable personality traits to make him overlook some of his hang-ups. The woman has to get to know and accept who Nappa is IC, the good and the bad, in a consistent roleplay thread. Not just think he’s hot and want to skip to the “fun stuff.” To me the process of writing two characters falling in love is part of that fun stuff. If things are rushed, there’s a high chance Nappa won’t feel the same interest as your muse and he’ll friend zone her. (But that’s not always bad because remember there has to be friendship before anything more can happen.)

As for the mun, I only feel a drive for wanting to ship when I see chemistry. In my opinion, Nappa’s harder to ship within roleplay, than he is in fanfics or fanart stuff. I do love shipping, so I’m always willing to interact to see if a ship can happen!

But in general, I’m not actively looking for a ship to happen with Nappa on this blog. But if a ship happens it’d be a pleasant surprise. Until then, I’m not going to worry about hooking Nappa up on this blog.  He’s fine being single, and I’m having fun writing him making other sorts of relationships with all kinds of muses.

 HOW FAR DO STEAMY MOMENTS HAVE TO GO BEFORE THEY’RE CONSIDERED NSFW?:

When it comes to talking, anything that starts to get dirty with graphic sexual activity details is what I’d consider NSFW.  Detailed descriptions of sexualized body parts, groping/stroking of genitals or breasts are things I consider NSFW. Also detailed sexual fantasy thoughts and emotions felt during physical activity can be too. Basically if you could get into trouble for getting caught reading it at work, or I don’t think the content is suitable for minors to be reading, I’d consider it NSFW, tag it accordingly, and may even use the Keep Reading cut.

Blatantly stating things like: sex, penis, vagina, kinky, “let’s fuck” or other such things, I wouldn’t think are worth labeling and tagging. Grabbing, smacking, or rubbing a butt isn’t NSFW to me unless said butt is bare and the muses are starting to do something sexual in nature.

I’m not going to do graphic sexual scenes, but I do feel confident about how good my sensual writing can be without going “all the way.” By sensual writing I mean things like touching, and kissing in places that are going to be sensitive, but aren’t any of the body parts mentioned above. I take advantage of describing voice tone, verbal word choices, eye direction, movement, thoughts and feelings to build tension without getting too smutty.

WHO ARE OTHER MUSES YOU SHIP YOUR MUSE WITH?:

At the moment there are no ships for my muse with other muses.

Nappa has had muses express their interest in him couple of times, but either chemistry wasn’t there for him to want that kind of relationship, or the mun and I agreed that we only wanted playful flirtatious banter. 

Nappa was starting to develop a crush on Poharu before her mun had to leave in my Xenoverse verse, but it’s nothing too serious, but I will mention it from time to time when portraying Nappa in that verse because I like it. (And I’ve mentioned before I’m 100% cool with one-sided crushes.)

DOES ONE HAVE TO ASK TO SHIP WITH YOU?:  

OOC communication is important if you would like a ship to happen.  Decent communication about our muses and the direction of our threads can help out a lot.

Like I’ve said, I’ve never written a ship with Nappa in roleplay before, and if you want a ship to set sail, it’s a good idea to make a blueprint before building that ship, ya dig? I’m fine with playing things by ear, but this can also lead to our characters saying or doing things that might piss each other off and make it harder for a ship to happen.

I can’t be the only one putting in the work either. If you’re not going to put in any effort – be it IC and/or OOC – then you probably don’t care that much about it, and I’m not going to either. Constantly dropping threads in an effort to rush the relationship process will result in a higher chance of the ship failing too. 

HOW OFTEN DO YOU LIKE TO SHIP?:

Whenever I see potential chemistry. I like ships that help both characters grow as people, especially if it’s a positive relationship. I’m only interested in working on healthy romantic relationships for Nappa on this blog.

 ARE YOU MULTISHIP?:

I hate to say I’m undefined on whether Nappa’s blog is a multiship blog or not, because I know for some people that is very important to know. But I have a hard time imagining a single ship ever happening with my muse, and I’m not actively looking for ships.

I guess I’ll deal with that decision if the time ever comes where I need to.

 ARE YOU SHIP OBSESSED OR SHIP MORE-OR-LESS?:

I love shipping and crack!shipping with fandom stuff. When it comes to roleplay though, I just play it by ear, and have low expectations for ships. I like when ships happen naturally. It’s a fun surprise! If ships happen, they happen!

Though I will admit, when I like a ship I will be enthusiastic about working on them. Mostly because I’m invested in  how things go! I guess I’m a healthy middle-ground kind of girl when it comes to shipping in roleplay.

If I see my partner isn’t enthused about working on it, I back off real quick. I’ve had bad experiences with shipping in the last year or so. One of my partners who is also a close friend kept giving me mixed messages that made me feel bad for being invested in shipping in general, not just with certain characters we played together. This made me feel all sorts of negative emotions towards wanting to work on, or even talking about my own fanfiction for months too. I’m slowly overcoming these feelings recently.

 WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SHIP IN YOUR CURRENT FANDOM?:  

I vicariously grew fond of Raditz x Nappa because of my friend @homosorcerer‘s content, but outside of their stuff, what other people do with it doesn’t tickle my fancy. Not sure if it’d be something I’d roleplay. *shrugs* In general though, I don’t *personally* see him having a lot of chemistry with other dudes.

For the heterosexual side of things, I don’t see any canon women from DBZ who would be good with Nappa either. (Though the right writer could possibly get me change my mind or get into it vicariously through their work.)

TBH I’m more open to crossover ships or OC ships with Nappa. (Just please no Nappa x Ami…just no.)

FINALLY, HOW DOES ONE SHIP WITH YOU?:

I’d suggest talking to me about it and also roleplaying for awhile with me and my muse before deciding if you really want to ship with us. After reading all this I probably sound like I’m really difficult to work with, but it’s a whole different ball game for @radmanraditz so I’ll be doing this for his blog soon too.

If you’re unsure of what to say when you bring up the topic, there’s this awesome post I found with a great format that’s short but detailed enough. I’ve even got it linked to my rules page in the shipping section.

Thanks to anyone who sat through reading all of this! I know it was really too long!

I want to see my little boy!

I’m Blue! If I were green, I would die. I’m going on 24, I started roleplaying in 2007. So that’s, what, eleven years? I’m old. I am a huge Transformers fan, I think I love it more than comics and horror! I took a break from anime since I kinda grew out of it, but due to the likes of Dragonball Super and One Punch Man, I’m back on that ball.

I pretty much have no rules when it comes to the actual roleplaying. Go nuts on the plots, I can play smut without plot or with, those are my favorite. I double or nothing. You play your character and my character love interest, I will do the same for you. Then there’s you the potential partner. I only ask to let me know when you are uncomfortable. I know I tend to spam, my internet connection is ridiculously bad. I live in the middle of nowhere Texas, thus the lowest speed possible. It goes in and out like a bad habit. If you haven’t heard from me, I lost connection. I also ask to not force me into playing with you and respect my opinion. Both had been broken and I blocked both fools. I usually go for Canon/OC because who doesn’t want to indulge a little bit? This also means I don't care if you wanna do self inserts. It'll be fun, so why not?

My cravings! Oh my cravings! I’m an old school, but there’s some that I have seen that are probably not on this list. If you have any questions, please don’t be afraid to email me.

TRANSFORMERS: If it has the franchise name, I'm up on that. I can play any continuity, the comics, G1, Beast Wars, Unicron Trilogy, Animated, Prime, hell I'll do that weird miniseries! Hit me up!

HELLBOY: I just saw the new movie and went on a bender on the comics plus the previous movies.

DRAGON BALL (Z, Super, FighterZ, or Xenoverse): I have soooo many ideas for the recent games and for Super! I really want someone to come to me ready for me to gush on you about this series. I have a plot for Fighterz and Xenoverse ready!

HORROR MOVIES: I'm a monster lover. I watch so many of these and then my emotional state is reset. Then I get conflicted feelings to express through rp. I tend to go dark with this to get it out of my system before going on to the love stuff. I will be able to do the love stuff for you early on if you want, but I ask that you wait on mine. I’m looking for someone who would do some choice movies, mainly Nightbreed. But I have others I am willing to do, which is a lot so hit me.

DISNEY: Because why not? I found this cute manga where a princess is getting princess tips from other princesses. And that tickled my Disney bone the right way and I got an idea.

COMICS: Mainly Marvel and DC. I'm so down for some superhero action! I have a few ideas and one self insert idea if anyone would indulge me. My body is ready!

ANIME: This is list is almost comparable to my comic list so you’re going to have to throw a name at me and I’ll say Si or No. I’m always open for recommendations!

I hope I didn’t scare anyone away. I am so tired and pent up for getting a horrendous meal. I want some form of release. Please contact me at bluewill.like2play@gmail.com or DM me here at Blue#8622. But is for the main event. I hope I hear from you and live deliciously.
