#and now i realize i'm talking it through ad nauseum like the characters in this book

[july-19th-club]

about a third of the way through baru now but it's such slow going because the pacing is so... like things will happen in spurts, and then time will be skipped over without much description of what's happened in the meantime, then the new status quo will be in place but only illustrated in broad strokes - and when there are *scenes* instead of *passages* the scenes are mostly people expositing economics or politics to each other while thinking 'he knows that i know that he knows that i know...but we've both played our pieces already so it doesn't matter who knows...' so it winds up reading like a very slow chess game where the moves are telegraphed far enough in advance that you're not sure where, if anywhere, the genius move is

knowing your partner well can potentially make writing a lot easier, repost, do not reblog. meet the mun.

— basics

name: Herald! Or Hel. Hal's fine too. pronouns: He/they with a leaning towards masculine signifiers preference of communication: Tumblr IMs work just fine but I'm usually found more readily on Discord.

— three facts

I have a connective tissue disorder known as Marfan's Syndrome.

I like to collect magical girl figures and paraphernalia (ie: Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura, Pretty Cure.)

I don't do it as much anymore, but I like to write poetry. Mostly in prose but I often default to iambic pentameter. (secret fact!: when tired I start to speak in rhyme without realizing it.)

— experience

From what I remember I started rping around age 13 on places like deviantart and on AIM, Yahoo, MSN and the like. I officially started my foray on tumblr RPC by talking with a Professor Layton account on my personal. Eventually I became thetumblrturnabout (yes and back then I didn't have to use v's or anything to have that url) and the rest is sort of history. Through RPing I discovered I was trans and it's been one of the best things of my life. I have primarily written sad, wet, older men the entirety of my RP career(?) and hope to one day be that sad, wet, older man. I have written mostly sci-fi/horror and prefer action and drama over things like slice of life. On tumblr I have written: TXF, Twin Peaks, Gravity Falls, Ace Attorney, X-Men First Class, Dangan Ronpa (a dark time), Homestuck (an even darker time) and even some of my own OCs.

— sub-genres

I love the horrors. Either it be the horror of man, the horror of science, the horror of time/space and the inescapable nature of fate: give me that juicy existentialism baby!!!! But as I have written here on Mulder I have found that another huge component of my writing is my expression of love and wanting to see the world be treated more kindly and with more understanding than we often get. Dale Cooper really opened up my eyes with that, and Mulder now too has reintroduced me to how much people want to love and be loved. Get loved, idiot <3

— plots vs memes

I have Constant Plotter's Disease, and already I have about three or four plots waiting in the wings. Having a rich backdrop in which I can play off of allows me to better write my characters, I feel. Plus, TXF is a sort of a monster-of-the-week type show and each episode hinges on a sort of self contained plot most of the time. Memes are just as good for this as anything else! And in fact I find they are wonderful ways to develop character interaction.

— long or short replies

Listen, sometimes I can go stupid crazy and lose myself in the moment and the writing but I try to keep it under wraps. I always feel bad when I don't at least give a paragraph but I NEVER expect my partners to match my insane ability to extrapolate ad nauseum.

— best time to write

Fuck it, we ball. However I am often more available in the evenings and am a bit of a night owl.
