WISHLISTS

If you would like to plot, do a starter or just talk about a wishlist idea I have for one of my muses, you will have to either comment, IM or send an Ask as my anxiety makes it extremely difficult to approach, even for these.

Lovesick

I enjoy the thought of a hanahaki au where Hua Cheng developed hanahaki disease before he died, but instead of ridding himself of it after death, he allowed it to progress far past what a living being could ever survive. I think he'd be really, really into such a physical embodiment of his adoration for Xie Lian!

I also like to think that in this au Ghost City is full of lush flower paths and gardens, and every single plant was grown from cuttings or seeds from Hua Cheng

Jon, shaking Otto’s hand: Hello, Jon. Brother of Rhaegar, son of Daemon, nephew to the king. I don't like you.

hey there!! i'm a newcomer here but i have fallen head over heels for your tragic gay dogmen, they've infected me with brainrot, i've been blorbo-inprinted on and reveling in it! i just wanted to let you know how much i've been enjoying scrolling through your blog recently and thank you for being so willing to share oc's that obviously mean a great deal to you with strangers over the internet, it's been greatly appreciated. (i also was wondering if your society6 store is still up and running?)

Why, thank you so much! It means a lot to me to hear my tragic gay dogmen are so cherished! ;_;

Recent-ish things ~

going to keep this vague on purpose but playing reload has reactivated brain chemicals in me that i forgot i had.

i think i'd want to make a more thought out post later, but i think my favorite thing about reload (aside from seeing minato in full HD glory) is how much it's made me think about video games as a storytelling medium- specifically with what mechanics and game design imply for characters.

there's a lot of quality of life features added to reload that help players easily enter a flow state and get immersed in the gameplay (most notable with tartarus)! which is so dope! reload has been such a nice blend of the mechanics from both FES and portable and it feels like a love letter to persona 3 fans.

there are definitely mechanics i miss from FES (minato's ability to wield multiple weapons being one of them). i can't deny that FES has some dated mechanics that don't necessarily feel fun for the player experience... but!

i think i mostly miss things from FES because i feel like so much of minato's characterization (for me) was informed by the gameplay experience and mechanics (e.g. fatigue system). obviously there's still other ways you can put together his personality (his dialogue responses), but i think game mechanics are a bit part of it, for me.

but in spite of that, i think reload is a really nice introduction to persona 3, it's so much more accessible and has a bunch of things to help make it more fun :) so far i think i'd recommend it to people :D

RP INFO

I decided to make a separate post to detail all of my RP preferences to keep my pinned a little shorter. Please read everything here before contacting me to request a roleplay. I don't expect you to memorize everything, but at least skim through the whole thing. Sorry it's a little long and if I come off as a bit of a stickler. I've been roleplaying for a very long time and have dealt with a lot of bullshit that I'm hoping to avoid where possible. I won't bite your head off if you accidentally slip up on some of these.

BASICS:

Read my pinned first! There's a list of kinks I will and won't do at the bottom, and other general guidelines for interacting with me.

Experienced roleplayers only, please. I'm also not comfortable RPing with anyone under 21 years old.

Please don't DM me jumping into an RP. I'll ignore it. If you want to do something informal and one-off, just send me an ask. You can include my OCs, if you want.

I don't have any set requirements for reply lengths. I'll write what's needed, and that's all I expect out of a partner. However, please be able to write multiple paragraphs. I won't do RPs that are strictly one or two lines back and forth.

I'm generally uninterested in lengthy sex scenes. Pregnant sex is more appealing, if the focus is mostly on the pregnant person's body.

PLOTS & GENRES

Don't send me low effort messages expecting me to do everything in regards to setting things up. I don't need you to have a solid plot idea from the get, but bring something to the table. If your best idea is something along the lines of "boyfriend/husband/roommate gets his girlfriend/wife/roommate pregnant", then please don't bother.

I don't do fandom RP. OCs only.

I don't like vanilla, fluffy, domestic pregnancy plots. At this time, I'm most interested in RPs that focus mainly on the pregnancy in a kinky way.

In general, I prefer fantasy settings, but I'm open to sci-fi or modern. I'd rather do a vintage real world setting than a modern one, though. Post apocalypse is also cool.

CHARACTERS

I'm willing to write most of my OCs featured in my stories. I can also come up with new OCs for the purpose of fitting whatever plot we come up with. Here's a list of my OCs, with links to more specific information about each some of them.

Please don't offer plots that go against what's fitting for my OCs. If there's an idea you want to do that doesn't fit any of them, that's fine, I can come up with an OC that fits if I like the idea, but don't try and fit a circle peg into a square hole.

In the same vein as the previous point, please be respectful of my OCs and myself. Don't try to convince me to change any OC's traits, or ignore the traits they have because they don't suit what you want. Likewise, if I tell you I'm not interested in something, don't try and make me do it. I've had too many people agree to my terms when setting things up, and then turn around and try to go against them, anyway.

Do not god mod. Do not control my OCs in any way. Do not write what they are thinking, feeling, or doing. If you need to know what they're going to do for part of your response, just ask.

All characters should be 30+ and look like it. If your character is 100 but looks 18, it's a no go.

so what tattoos do you think Jason has? (If any)

[whentherewerebicycles]

ruthie slowly realizing I have the front camera turned on 😂 this dog hates being photographed!

we were up for a bit at 5 but it was too early and I was sleeepy so ended up dozing for another hour or two. rainy morning here. I’m trying to really savor the cozy snuggly days as life is about to get so hectic for me:

I’m in pittsburgh friday morning through monday night (YAYYY) attending two weekend games and hanging out with bec!!!

I have tuesday to run errands and do laundry before my mom arrives wednesday

we leave early thursday morning for 14 days in japan and korea, during which we are hitting tokyo, osaka, kyoto, nara, mt koya, hiroshima, miyajima island, fukuoka, busan, daegu, and /seoul… I’m soooo psyched but also 🫠 it’s gonna be a whirlwind and I still have to do quite a bit of prep to be ready

we get home on a wed, I have thurs to recover from jetlag slash finalize my job talk, and then friday is the all-day campus visit

THEN I leave sat morning for houston and get back late monday night

it’s gonna be a lot!!! so very okay to be slothful this weekend and for as much of next week as I can manage I think. I am building up my reserves of rest and solitude lol.

mmkay. tonight I am having dinner + watching tár with mary later (and maybe seeing my sister at some point in the afternoon tbd) but the morning is my own! no pressure to get anything done in particular but here are some options:

could do more campus visit research for fun! my first gen programming book is arriving sometime today so I could read that and take notes, or I could spend some more time working through these articles I pulled up on designing programming for transfer students. I was also thinking it might be fun to create some one-page idea/vision/notes docs by hand on various topics—I feel like writing by hand will reinforce my memory of key details, and then making decisions about how I want to visually organize/arrange content will be a good exercise in synthesizing what I’ve learned. lol even as I’m typing this out I’m like ‘OOOOH that sounds like fun!!!!’ so I guess I’ll probably do that.

my former student is calling me at some point today to talk about transfer students’ experiences. he’s around my age (went back to undergrad after serving in the military for a long time) and is fun to talk to because he’s super smart and just like… more of a fully formed person and professional than the college-age kids. so that will be fun and should give me some useful threads to follow in my research. 

pick up my CVS prescription

hmm maybe I’ll put my laundry in right now? I also want to change linens/towels. I cleaned most of the house yesterday so don’t have much else to do in the way of chores… and I have a bunch of leftovers to finish before I’m allowed to make anything else so no cooking to do today either.

if it clears up I’ll go for a shorter long walk (the hourlong loop?) unless it’s really nice and I feel like doing the 90+ min trek again. not gonna let myself run today though—I can tell I pushed it a bit yesterday with the long fast walk + running two days in a row at a quicker clip than usual. just a little bit of achiness!

I finished a novel yesterday and want to start the next one today so I don’t break stride, but that can wait till before bed unless I’m moved to read earlier.

mmkay I think that’s it! take it easy and do fun relaxing stuff today.

STOP DOING THIS IN INJURY FICS!!

Bleeding:

Blood is warm. if blood is cold, you’re really fucking feverish or the person is dead. it’s only sticky after it coagulates.

It smells! like iron, obv, but very metallic. heavy blood loss has a really potent smell, someone will notice.

Unless in a state of shock or fight-flight mode, a character will know they’re bleeding. stop with the ‘i didn’t even feel it’ yeah you did. drowsiness, confusion, pale complexion, nausea, clumsiness, and memory loss are symptoms to include.

blood flow ebbs. sometimes it’s really gushin’, other times it’s a trickle. could be the same wound at different points.

it’s slow. use this to your advantage! more sad writer times hehehe.

Stab wounds:

I have been mildly impaled with rebar on an occasion, so let me explain from experience. being stabbed is bizarre af. your body is soft. you can squish it, feel it jiggle when you move. whatever just stabbed you? not jiggly. it feels stiff and numb after the pain fades. often, stab wounds lead to nerve damage. hands, arms, feet, neck, all have more motor nerve clusters than the torso. fingers may go numb or useless if a tendon is nicked.

also, bleeding takes FOREVER to stop, as mentioned above.

if the wound has an exit wound, like a bullet clean through or a spear through the whole limb, DONT REMOVE THE OBJECT. character will die. leave it, bandage around it. could be a good opportunity for some touchy touchy :)

whump writers - good opportunity for caretaker angst and fluff w/ trying to manhandle whumpee into a good position to access both sites

Concussion:

despite the amnesia and confusion, people ain’t that articulate. even if they’re mumbling about how much they love (person) - if that’s ur trope - or a secret, it’s gonna make no sense. garbled nonsense, no full sentences, just a coupla words here and there.

if the concussion is mild, they’re gonna feel fine. until….bam! out like a light. kinda funny to witness, but also a good time for some caretaking fluff.

Fever:

you die at 110F. no 'oh no his fever is 120F!! ahhh!“ no his fever is 0F because he’s fucking dead. you lose consciousness around 103, sometimes less if it’s a child. brain damage occurs at over 104.

ACTUAL SYMPTOMS:

sluggishness

seizures (severe)

inability to speak clearly

feeling chilly/shivering

nausea

pain

delirium

symptoms increase as fever rises. slow build that secret sickness! feverish people can be irritable, maybe a bit of sass followed by some hurt/comfort. never hurt anybody.

ALSO about fevers - they absolutely can cause hallucinations. Sometimes these alter memory and future memory processing. they're scary shit guys.

fevers are a big deal! bad shit can happen! milk that till its dry (chill out) and get some good hurt/comfort whumpee shit.

keep writing u sadistic nerds xox love you

ALSO I FORGOT LEMME ADD ON:

YOU DIE AT 85F

sorry I forgot. at that point for a sustained period of time you're too cold to survive.

pt 2

also please stop traumadumping in the notes/tags, that's not the point of this post. it's really upsetting to see on my feed, so i'm muting the notifs for this post. if you have a question about this post, dm me, but i don't want a constant influx of traumatic stories. xox
