Rating the Transformers human kids

Worst to best, GO! (Also: characters under 18 only!)*

 18. Spike (G1) 

Nothing really against him, he’s just kinda lame and doesn’t have much going for him 18. Jan (Victory) 

Oh my gosh, this kid was annoying as hell. Not a cute boy, a rude boy through and through! He’d be last place if he didn’t contribute to my pain when Ginrai died and with Victory Leo’s character development. Everything else about this boy was just an exercise in misery.  You’d think a bot like Star Saber would raise a child to be more humble and polite! Such a downgrade from Shuta, that teen had a lot of respect in him at least. 17. Koji (RiD01) 

Best quality of this young man is how most episodes only let him have like 3 minutes of screentime, that way he didn’t annoy :D 16. Jack Darby (TFP) 

Important to the plot and had good moments, but he has no business making me watch teenage romance angst with my own two eyes!

15. Russell (RiD15) 

Cute boy, nice father-son dynamic with Denny, I felt for him when Sideswipe killed his TV.

14. Buster (Masterforce) 

Buster gets plus points for being really pretty and having a really nice hair colour ~ And for being german :D

13. Wilder (Masterforce) 

A Sasuke, got that decepticon spirit and the nice outcast background, nice hair cut, kills a puppy but saves a child. Gives mixed messages man 

12. Chip Chase (G1) 

Spike exists, but Chip exists with a BRAIN! And we all gotta appreciate a character with working braincells, especially in a show like G1 :D Too bad he didn’t really have that much of a presence (apparently he was suppoused to show up in Headmasters, too bad that didn’t happen. Instead we got Spike again)

11. Cab (Masterforce) 

Good boy, builds his own home, can talk to animals, will defend his country’s honour, is a fucking prince! He owns himself, I respect that ~

10. Shuta (Masterforce)

One of those shonen protagonist who starts immature and annoying but gets better as the show progresses. I guess. I actually just like him because he beat up Clouder. Also seeing Jan makes me appreciate him more

9. Carly (G1) 

Fierce, unafraid, motivated, determined! Broke into decepticon headquarters and placed a bomb there! Where she even got the bomb from? Who knows, but she had one, and she will forever be cherished for being more interesting than Spike!

8. Cancer (Masterforce) 

A cutie martial artist who really knows what’s important in life! Redemption I say! 7. Raf (TFP) 

Adorable boi, cutie, sweetheart, will do anything to help out, just loveable. I wanna poke his cheek

6. Lightfoot (Masterforce) 

What a good looking british rich boy! Humble and sweet, eager to sacrifise himself to save his commander as the loyal second in command! Love him <3

5. Una (Beast Wars) 

This little lady deserves a spot high up for the incredible ability to frustrate Megatron and foil his plans, and she didn’t even try! Wonderful! :D

4. Miko (TFP) 

Annoying as shit initially, but has the most promising arc out of the three Prime kids. Goes from “Aw so cool!” to “I wont hesitate, bitch!” Takes matters into her own hands, nothing but respect for this girl. 3. Daniel (G1, Headmasters) 

LISTEN, I am biased on this boy. He’s just a cute little kid, okay? Adorable child. But unlike kids like Koji or Russell, he managed to be 1/2 reasons for my man Sixshot to redeem himself and save earth! Just by being a cute boy! He’s the kid who looks at this giant killing machine and thinks “He’s like my mother”, you gotta love him and Sixshot man! Best boi, period, just has some really nice interactions with robots.

2. Minerva (Masterforce) 

What a sweetheart with the biggest heart and the most compassion of any human character! Will save anyone, treats everyone with respect and kindness without being a push-over. She doesn’t take shit from anyone and will stand up for herself. She made Ginrai take character development pills, by showing what an asshat he was to Cancer. Doesn’t go against her compassion and what she stands for even when betrayed and used, what a wonderful and inspiring character! <3

1. Sari (TFA) 

When it comes to being part of the plot, she has the most going for it by being a techno-organic. But what made me put her on no.1 is her relationship with the bots. We see how much other human kids find her weird and dont wanna associate with her and that makes the fact that the autobots become her friends more precious <3 Like she’s half cybertronian and has no friends on earth, than actual cybertronians show up and she finally has people who are like her and understand her, even if she initially doesn’t know why. It’s just really cute, okay?

*About age - you will never convince me that Bullhorn and Ranger from Masterforce are fucking 17 year old! Fuck whoever wrote their bio cards! And Road King is said to be 19 in the show anyway and Ginrai must be an adult because he has a friggin job as a truck driver.  Only Lightfoot is underage and the show says he’s 17 by making us combine the numbers 2 and 15.  Oh and Clouder has no given age anywhere, and I’ll go with adult

[kenshi-vakarian7]

Kira Ryder for the OC asks. Number 72 if you dont wanna answer all of them

This took a very long time, but I FINALLY completed this @alyssalenko !  Thank you for your patience. =)

---

1 - What is/are your OC’s nickname(s) and how did it come about?

She doesn’t have a nickname. Though there was that one and only time Luke called her ‘Ra Ra’ for no reason other than shits and giggles (and he was also tipsy). She put a stop to it right away by threatening to show his then-girlfriend pictures of him as a baby.

2 -  What is the color of your OC’s eyes/hair/skin?

Blue, dark brown, and pale peach.

3- How tall is your OC?

5'7''

4 - What is a noticeable physical attribute of your OC?

Her blue eyes, and her full lips.

5 - What does your OC normally wear? What would your OC wear on a special night?

She likes to wear her blue and black leather jacket and jeans most days.  Some days, she'll wear a cute shirt.  If it calls for it, she accessorize with earrings, necklaces, and the black scarf her mother gave her for her 18th birthday.  On special nights, she's more dressy and likes to wear a nice blouse and mini skirt.

6 - What is one word you would use to describe your OC’s appearances?

Brave

7 - Does your OC have any markings, such as a birthmark or a scar?

She has a scar on her right hip.  She got it from her time in the Alliance when she got too close to a batarian pirate while trying to help fight against a colony raid. Thankfully, it didn't go deep enough, but it did not heal right, hence the scar.

8 - How does your OC talk/what does your OC’s voice sound like?

She sounds just as she does in the game, just with a little more twinge of confidence (especially since I usually pick the logical/professional response options with her).

9 - What does your OC’s bedroom look like?  His/her living area?

On the Tempest, the room is bigger than she's used to, though she loves the panorama view of space.  Aside from a couple of personal items, she's pretty much kept the room as it was when she first boarded. The only thing she wished she had was a freakin' private bathroom!  Like, seriously, all that room and no bathroom?! Laaaaame...

10 - What does your OC keep in a special drawer?

Her old Alliance dog tags.  It was the only thing she managed to keep from her days in the Alliance.

11 - What is your OC’s relationship with his/her mother?  

She adores her mother and appreciates all the little things she's done for her and her brother over the years.  They rarely fought and she likes to think she inherited her mother's compassion.

12 - What is your OC’s relationship with his/her father?

As a little girl, she adored her father and considered him her hero.  She was close to him and wanted to be in the military just like he was once she was all grown up.  Their relationship changed when she was a teenager as he became more distant and more strict.  They fought a lot before she and her brother were sent to boarding school.  After that, there was nothing but tension between them.  After her mother died however, her father started to open up a bit more and their relationship before to slowly heal.  They were still healing their relationship when he died not long after they arrived in Andromeda.  These days, Kira tries to focus on the good memories.

She likes to think that she inherited her father’s bravery… and perhaps his stubborness.

13 - How many siblings does your OC and what is his/her relationship with them?

She has one brother, her twin Luke. Despite the fact that he could occasionally be a little annoying with his humor, they are in fact best friends who tell each other almost everything.

14 - Who is the mother and/or father figure in your OC’s life?

She actually doesn't have one… but at the very least, Drack has become more like a grandfather figure to her.  She fondly calls him 'Gramps.'

15 - What was your OC’s childhood like?

Aside from growing up on a space station and having a father who was a little bit strict, her childhood was actually pretty normal.  She had friends, went to school, went on family vacations, etc.

16 - What is your OC’s strongest childhood memory? Why and how as that impacted him/her?

There really isn’t another that was strong per se, but the ones that do stick to her were all the times she and her family would go on vacation to various places on Earth.  Her favorite trip was the time they went to Norway and saw the Northern Lights.  It was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen in her lifetime.  She hopes to see something similar in Andromeda someday in order to re-experience that moment once more.

17 - What is your OC’s imagination like?

She normally imagines what the future would be like, like her career and even her romantic life.  She's not big on weddings, but does like to imagine herself in her dream wedding gown.

18 - How many times did your OC move as a child?  Which area was his/her favorite?

She spent the majority of her life on the Citadel, where she was born. Occasionally, she and her family would travel between there, the Sierras, Brazil (where her mother was born), and Arcturus Station where she and Luke attended the station's academy/Alliance Junior program (their version of high school). She really loves going to the Sierras more so for the view.

19 - What does your OC think of children- either in general or about having them?

She doesn't mind children, and figured that it didn't matter in the end whether or not she became a mother.  If it happens, it happens.

20 - What kind of mother/father would your OC be?

She'd like to think that she is as nurturing as a mother, and less strict than her father.

21 - Who are your OC’s closest relatives?

She adored her grandparents on both sides. otherwise, she wasn't really close with any of her aunts, uncles, or cousins.

22 - Who is/are your OC’s closest friend(s)?

Back in the Milky Way, her closest friend was Solana Vakarian, who was one of the few to stick by her till the end after the Ryder reputation got tarnished from her father’s AI experiments.

In Andromeda, she would become close to Vetra, who becomes like a sister to her, and Drack, who she fondly calls 'Gramps.'

23 - Who are the people your OC surrounds him/herself with?

Definitely her family and close friends.

24 - Who are the people your OC dislikes/hates?

Aside from those like the Archon, Kira really disliked Addison when she first met her. She could get her lack of trust in her since she was practically an unknown, but it really didn't sit well when she mentioned her 'goddamn father' while Kira was still reeling from his very recent death. The whole situation with Spender didn't help either, though once Addison stepped up, they started to get along a little better, at least professionally. Kira did appreciate the fact that Addison asked her how Luke was doing after everything he went through, but they otherwise didn't talk much unless it was about initiative business.

25 - If your OC has a soulmate, who is it?

A certain shady bastard from Kadara. 😋

26 - Why does your OC and his/her soulmate work so well together?

They relate to the fact that they're both leaders with big responsibilities (hers being more public of course).  But one key thing is the fact that they treat the other like they are normal.  Obviously it's more apparent in her case, but it's something he appreciates as well.  In other words, they see and treat each other like normal human beings rather than an enigma/very-well connected smuggler.

Also, the sex is great!  XD

27 - What are some things your OC admires about his/her soulmate?

She admires his practicality, resourcefulness (even if they came from shady dealings), and his ability to surprise her every now and then (except the High Noon mission of course - that’s one type of surprise she prefers not to experience again).  She does envy the fact that he can work anonymously.

28 - How did your OC and his/her soulmate meet?

Evfra had them meet at Kralla's Song involving a mission to find one of his men.  They were business partners at first, but the more time they spent together, the more they became infatuated with each other.  One thing led to another, and as they say, the rest is history.

29 - What is your OC’s level of education?

She has a high school diploma, and went straight to a military career after that. She considered her options of a college education after the whole thing with her career went belly-up.

30 - Did your OC participate in extracurricular activities, and if so, what were they?

She mostly was involved in junior military programs while at the academy.  She also enjoyings rock climbing.

31 - What is your OC’s opinion of school?  What kind of student was s/he?

Kira knows education is important, but like many kids growing up, she'd rather stay home all day and have fun.  She was an above-average student; never on the honor roll, but did well enough.

32 - What subjects did your OC excel at?

History and science.

33 - What subjects interested your OC?

Since she was young, Kira was always interested in military history. It helped give her insight on what life was like as a soldier, and perhaps what she could expect in our own career despite how 'results may vary.’

34 - What is your OC’s dream job and/or current profession?

Dream job: a military career, which she was able to get before her family reputation was tarnished and she was discharged.

Current profession: The Andromeda Initiative's Human Pathfinder.

In the future, she becomes an arbitrator.

35 - How is your OC working towards his/her dream job and/or achieved his/her current profession?

She attended her academy’s programs to get a head-start in her military career, which was her dream job.

As the Human Pathfinder, she was forced into the role after her father’s death and she did the best she could with it.

Becoming an Arbitrator included a very long story involving a near all-out war between the Milky Way species and Angarans living on Kadara.  In the end, while negotiating a peace treaty, the angarans wouldn’t accept anyone from the Milky Way to serve the role except Kira.  Kira accepted the responsibility because not only would it finally give her an exit from her role as Pathfinder, but she finally found a means of staying on Kadara (and Reyes) for good.  Her experience as Pathfinder would prove invaluable in her new job.

36 - What are your OC’s thoughts/opinions of his/her current profession?

She knows she's making a big difference, especially after a very rough beginning for the entire initiative. That, at the very least, fulfills her, though after a couple of years, she'll grow tired of her profession.

37 - What is your OC’s biggest dream?

It’s quite simple… A decent house with a great view, surrounded by at least two to four cats, and equipped with a mini bar.

Before that, it was joining the military and making a difference, which she got to do for a little while. At least as Pathfinder, she did get to fully make a difference as she always dreamed about.

38- How does your OC react to and handle stress?

She works very well under stress, which she knows is essential in leadership roles. She believes her father prepared her to handle stress since she was young.

39- How does your OC handle anger?

She's very good about clamping it down in public. However, if she's desperate enough, she'll march to her room, smother her face into a pillow, and then scream into it at the top of her lungs.

40- How does your OC handle grief?

She usually handles it privately and is usually very good at compartmentalizing her emotions.  Only very occasionally she loses control, and she really hates those moments.

41- What is your OC’s greatest fear?

Having everyone she loves die before her, leaving her completely alone.

42 - What makes your OC happy?

Trying new things.

43- What kind of sense of humor does your OC have?

She occasionally shows some dry sarcasm.  Every once in a while, she channels her brother’s humor, more so to someone who gives her an attitude for no reason… though she never lets Luke know that in order for him to keep his precious pride. =P

44- What are some things that greatly upset your OC?

The suffering of others, especially if she couldn’t save them.

45- What are some things that annoy your OC?

Entitled people, gatekeeping, and her brother’s humor (but only when she’s in a very bad mood).

46- If your OC has them, what are some regrets s/he has?

She had a friend she met on the Citadel named Jex who was also… a friend with benefits.  Things were fine between them for a year and Jex proved to be a very supportive friend during that time since this was all going on while her mother was ill.  However, at some point, Jex developed feelings for Kira and, one day, confessed to her.  Initially, Kira rejected him because the last thing she wanted was to get hurt again after her last serious relationship ended badly.

Not long after, Kira went to Earth to say goodbye to her mother, who was on the brink of death.  Her mother’s last words to her were, ‘Fall in love, at least once.’  Those words weighed heavy on Kira and soon, she came to realize that she couldn't be afraid to love anymore.  She decided to open her heart to Jex, sending him a message to meet up once she arrived on the Citadel… which was attacked by Sovereign while she was traveling.  Jex would die during that battle, but Kira wouldn’t find out until a few days later.

Holding back, letting herself be afraid, and not telling Jex how she felt are the things she would always regret.

47- How easily does your OC forgive?

It depends on the circumstances. She’s pretty good at detecting whether or not someone’s apology is genuine. Her gut instincts also help in these kinds of situations.

In general, Kira will forgive you depending on how sincere you are.

48- What are some of your OC’s vices?

Indulging in a little too much chocolate, having sex for stress relief, and (very, very rarely) drinking.

49- If your OC experienced trauma, what was it?

She never experienced trauma that affected her until she arrived in Andromeda. The first was when she was suffocating on Habitat 7, while adding the fact that her father sacrificed his life for hers.  She developed a fear of suffocation because of it.

The second was discovering what the kett had done to the salarians on the Archon's Ship as well as making the choice to leave Pathfinder Raeka behind. That affected her more profoundly than SAM having to revive her later in the mission.

50- What secrets does your OC have?

She doesn’t really have any huge secrets, just little insignificant stuff. There is one little secret that her brother Luke knows about - and will absolutely murder him over - if he ever said one word about it to anyone in Andromeda.  

The secret? 

That embarrassing moment from one summer, while camping with friends on Earth at the start of their adulthood, when she lost her bikini top while swimming in the lake… and didn’t realize she lost until all of her friends (and her brother…) got a *ahem* view.

51- What are some of your OC’s morals?

Her morals are pretty basic; be compassionate, understanding, and shoot people between the eyes if they try to kill you and your friends.

52- What are some of your OC’s motivations?

Simply, she wants to make a difference in making the universe a better place.

53- What is the health of your OC?

Physically, she's very healthy and in top shape.  

Considering everything she's been through, she's okay mentally, though the occasional nightmares plague her from time to time.

54- Does your OC think with his/her head or heart?

Her head, 98% of the time.

55- What are your OC’s thoughts on death?  

To her, death is an inevitability that will come sooner or later, which is why she needed to make the most of her life. The only thing that she hopes for is to not die alone and/or painfully.

56 - What are some of your OC’s strengths?

Her bravery, leadership skills, and maintaining calm and morale during stressful situations.

57- What are some of your OC’s weaknesses?

Hiding her personal feelings, even from those she’s close to.  Also chocolate.

58- How does your OC take criticism?

She’s fine with them as long as they’re constructive.  If they’re insulting, she brushes them off and moves on.  It’s not worth seething over.

59- What does your OC think of him/herself?

She likes to think of herself as responsible and braver than most.  She does worry about the morale of others under her leadership and how they perceive her.

60- If your OC could change one thing about him/herself, what would it be?

To open a little bit of her vulnerable side so that she could show others that, she too, is just human.

61- What is the general impression your OC gives other people?

Mature and brave, but still very young and learning about the universe around her.

62- How emotionally/mentally vulnerable is your OC with other people?

She's very private about her emotions and vulnerability. As a matter of fact, she'd rather not show them off at all if she can help it, even around those she is closest to.

63- How does your OC display love?

She shows rather than tells through her actions.

64- What are some habits your OC has picked up?

Hiding away when upset, and overindulging on chocolate when stressed.

65- What is your OC’s favorite drink?

Whiskey and coffee.  No, not at the same time!

66- What is your OC’s favorite foods?

Chocolate, sushi, and strawberries.

67- What is your OC’s favorite sweet?

Chocolate!

68- What is your OC’s favorite season?

Autumn

69- What is your OC’s favorite kind of weather?

Weather that is just cool enough for her to wear a sweater.  Autumn is her ideal season.

70- What is your OC’s favorite book?

She doesn’t have a particular favorite book, but her favorite genre is mystery thriller.

71- What is your OC’s favorite movie and/or TV show?

She doesn’t have a particular favorite, but she does enjoy action films and comedy shows.

72- What is your OC’s favorite kind music (and song if there is one)?

Modern synthetic music that she could dance to in a nightclub.

73- What is your OC’s favorite form of entertainment?

Nightclub dancing, concerts, and movies.

74- What is your OC’s favorite color?

Blue

75- What is your OC’s favorite scent?

Honeydew.

76- What is your OC’s favorite animal?

Cats 🐱

77- What is your OC’s favorite sound?

The crackling sound of an open fire.

78- What is your OC’s favorite time of day?

Definitely late evening. She feels most alive around this time.

79- What is your OC’s favorite kind of ice cream?

Chocolate fudge brownie.

80- What is your OC’s favorite dinosaur?

She personally finds the Saurolophus to be strangely adorable. 

[jasonbrennerold]

wyd if i told u to do 1-38 👀

the ‘be honest’ meme / @afterburied

ok below the cut bc this is a Long One

1. What would prevent you from following someone?

generally speaking just kinda if our writing doesn’t mesh? but also on different blogs i have different kind of vibes if you know what i mean? like here on jason i’m not likely to follow historical/extreme fantasy blogs if they don’t have some form of modern verse bc i just don’t see him in those settings, i also tend to avoid anyone who says they dont like multis/ocs even if it doesn’t apply on the blog im on bc uh we love multis and ocs here. sometimes if a blogs new i wont follow, but sometimes i will it just depends on the vibe lmao. sometimes aesthetics/etc will play a role but mostly it’s just based on rules/meshability

2. Are aesthetics important to you? If they are, why?

yes and no? like i won’t shun anyone for having “bad” aesthetics or anything, but i hold my own personal aesthetic to a higher regard? like, if someones aesthetic makes things unreadable/impossible to navigate then i hate it, but like i don’t care about other peoples aesthetic that much. if it’s pretty i definitely see the blog in a better light which im trying not to do, but mostly it’s my own aesthetics that matter to me and that’s just because i simply need to be perceived positively at all times

3. What current rp trend do you hate?

i don’t think there are any i really hate? as long as trends aren’t harmful i dont care much.

4. How do you explain rp to someone in the real world?

i don’t lmao the only person who knows about rp irl is my inner circle, and they know it as rp bc at least one of them has actually been in the rp world

5. Do you prefer interacting with male muses or female more? Why?

i don’t really have much preference? all genders bring in their own potential for different plots and dynamics and i love them all equally. but female muses and muses that don’t conform to the male/female binary are always favorites because they deserve more appreciation

6. Do you prefer writing male muses or female more? Why?

this one was actually hard to answer because like? i don’t know? i write plenty of both, and i feel like i prefer males, but also i think that’s just because of the way males tend to be treated over females? like some of my female muses are That Muse that never goes away, but because females tend to be more ignored or people just don’t read their info it’s never as fun writing them

7. What’s your opinion on call out posts?

sometimes they’re necessary, sometimes they’re not. i don’t really read them? unless it’s a callout that comes across my dash a lot or revolves around someone i know/write with. if it’s a legit predator then i say go off, but if it’s something petty or spiteful i think it just makes all parties involved look kinda bad.

8. Name any three things about the rpc that bother you.

answered here.

9. What is your opinion on exclusivity? Do you practice it? Why / why not?

i have in the past, i don’t really presently. i think sometimes it’s good and sometimes it’s bad, and really depends on the fandoms/characters involved. like currently i have lea as my exclusive stiles and earth as my exclusive carol because they have such intense connections to jason and are literally a part of his backstory/canon so it would feel really strange to have another version of that muse come along and try to either fit the dynamic or ignore it. that said i have in the past had exclusives where it felt like i was trapped in it or didn’t get to explore more dynamics because of it, so it can be a win or a lose dependent on the person you’re exclusive with and what they’re like.

10. Have you ever had a bad experience with commissions? As either someone who makes them or as someone who buys them?

not really, no. i don’t think i’ve ever actually commissioned anyone, and the people who have commissioned me in the past have generally been really nice. there’s been a few times where people really don’t know what they want or change their mind constantly or just ghost before we get anywhere, but mostly it’s been a good experience for me.

11. What do you know now about rp that you wish you knew when you first started?

that literally nothing matters. who cares. take as long as you want, remake as much as you want. yes this is a hobby that depends on other people somewhat, but that doesn’t mean that everything you do should revolve around them. take mental health breaks, write in prose, have a super minimalist or super maximalist aesthetic. who gives a shit, this is about having fun.

12. Have you been involved in drama? Do you regret it?

answered here.

13. Have you ever thought about leaving rp? What caused it? What changed your mind?

answered here.

14. Do you think rp has had a positive or negative affect on your life or you as a person?

oh a huge positive effect on both for sure. there are times that it’s been bad for my mental health, but i’ve also met so many brilliant people and had so much fun doing this. half of my facebook friends list is people i’ve befriended through rp (and yes this is an invite to anyone i talk to a lot to ask for my facebook if u want it)

15. How has rp changed you personally?

i started rping in 2012 when i was 14. rp was my main hyperfixation through high school, with me spending most days in class on tumblr rather than doing work. i shaped my entire life around rp for a long time, and while that was extremely unhealthy it was also a huge formative thing for me. tumblr and roleplaying are so ingrained into who i am at this point, it’s literally changed my life. the friends i made through rp, especially in my high school years, were a life changing thing. i had one or two friends in high school, but i was heavily bullied and widely hated and rp really did save me from really fully sinking into thinking that’s what everyone thought of me

16. If you could change one thing about rp on tumblr, what would it be? Why?

i think it would mostly just be the accessibility and ease of it? i miss the days where you didn’t have to be mutuals to write, and how it was just so easy to get things going and have meaningless fun. i love my mutuals and i love plotted threads but i truly think there was something so easy about starting a blog and immediately having threads and people to write with. lately tumblr has become a place where it’s so easy to be ignored or feel like no one wants to write with you, and i really miss the days where there was always someone there who wanted to write with you and be friends.

17. Have you ever sent a message to yourself on anon? Why?

literally all the time lmao. my positivity blog is 50% me sending myself anons because people very rarely send them in. people follow positivity blogs to hear positivity about themselves but never send any in which makes it difficult. i don’t want to seem like my positivity blog is focused only on my mutuals, but i also don’t have much i can say about non-mutuals without it feeling fake so it’s a rough balance. i also send myself anonymous headcanon questions all the time bc no one else is gonna do it for me

18. Have you ever sent hate to yourself on anon? Why?

i think i did once or twice in like 2014 because i was a 16 year old who wanted attention. mostly it was just like i’d posted something that i knew would be controversial in the fandom and wanted to send myself the hate while i had a comeback in mind rather than wait for someone else to say it and feel bad lmao

19. Do you delete anon hate or post and address it? Why?

i tend to post/address it. it’s a bummer to get anon hate and i know i should delete it but i’ll see it and be like ‘oh everyone thinks this’ so i post it so that everyone can see and be like ‘yeah’ but then they’re like ‘this is bullshit’ and i have a moment of like... oh... people... dont hate me?

20. Have you ever felt pressured to write something you weren’t comfortable with?

i dont think so, not that i remember at least.

21. Have you ever followed someone because you felt like you had to, not because you wanted to?

yeah, a few times. i tend to feel that way less now but i still do it sometimes. i know there’s not really any pressure, but sometimes breaking mutuals with people you don’t click with feels really hard

22. What would make you block someone?

not a lot, really? like not for hard blocks. i’ll softblock when i do unfollow sprees or if we don’t really mesh. i only hardblock people who spam me, personals and like. actual problematic people.

23. Have you ever stolen something from someone else?

not that i’m aware of. 

24. Have you ever had something stolen from you? If so, how did you handle it?

again, not that i’m aware of.

25. Are you open to duplicates? Why / why not?

this doesn’t apply to jason, but generally yeah. it depends on the muse really. im not open to duplicates on beth (multimuses aside) because of how she’s a comfort character for me and i’ve had some Bad Experience with other beths in the past, and theres a few muses i write from smaller fandoms that don’t have duplicates but that i wouldn’t want duplicates for. mostly though im chill.

26. How do you feel about vague posting?

i don’t love it, but i am guilty of it too. sometimes u gotta vague to get things out, but i don’t like vagues where that person is likely to see it? idk i just don’t like vagues but i wont stop you

27. Do you follow people even if they don’t follow you back?

sometimes, but not really. i used to do it a lot, but since people are so intense on mutuals only these days i get heaps of anxiety about accidentally liking something when i think we’re mutuals but we’re not

28. Do you read people’s rules before following or interacting?

i try to. a lot of people don’t have mobile friendly info (note that linking to pages on your blog like a /rules or /about isnt actually mobile friendly, you can’t use those links in the app) and i spend a lot of time on mobile, but i usually just wont follow back until i can read them and then i double check rules for triggers and stuff whenever plotting/sending memes/etc.

29. What is your opinion on “reblog karma” and do you practice it?

i don’t love it and i don’t practice it, but i get it. it sucks to have people reblog things from you without sending, especially headcanon/ooc stuff. i won’t ever force people though, especially with ic stuff, sometimes certain memes just don’t fit and that’s okay.

30. How have you responded to popular slang used on tumblr? Do you use it in every day life? Do you use it at all?

probably? i type the same as i talk pretty much, anything you see me type is something i’d say

31. Is there something you don’t know the meaning of but you haven’t asked anyone because you think it’s supposed to be general knowledge? Was there ever something you had to ask someone to explain?

i dont think so. generally i google things if i don’t know it.

32. Have you ever experienced discrimination?

not that i’m aware of. i guess people ignoring female ocs and loving male canons might sorta be it, but nothing personal about me no

33. How do you feel about personal blogs following your rp blog?

not a fan, tend to block them. personals just tend to get into my shit and rb stuff and it’s annoying. that said, if it’s someone i know from the rp community’s personal they can stay

34. Have you ever cried while writing a reply?

literally all the time. every angsty reply.. i cry so easily

35. Do you read other people’s threads or do you only read your own?

i read so many other peoples threads, especially people i interact with a lot. i read @unheaven and @aphostate‘s threads like the morning paper i love them

36. What’s one thing that other people seem to hate that doesn’t bother you?

i don’t know that anyone really hates things that much?? oh, but 13rw is a big one i guess. the show helped me mentally and i have muses on my multi, but i know the majority of the rpc is very much against it

37. How do you feel about tagging triggers? Do you tag them? How do you determine what is triggering content and what isn’t?

i try to, but i don’t ever really know when exactly things need to be tagged. i use the ‘ask to tag //’ tag a lot for things that im not sure about. generally speaking triggers go untagged unless it’s intense/graphic, but there’s always warnings in my rules about what i don’t tag

38. What advice would you give to someone new to rp?

don’t take it too seriously. it’s a hobby, it’s for fun. these people will not care if you use aesthetic vibes or if you’re a minimalist, they just want your writing. don’t guilt trip people into writing with you, read and respect rules. i don’t know, just treat people how you wanna be treated. rp is a small world, word travels, people know when people are the type to ignore important things.

What does this billboard say? via /r/tarot

What does this billboard say?

My wife and I have been married 13 years. I was a pretty aweful husband and father and person for 12 of those. I am changing and quickly.

I daily get cards like The Fool, Ace of Wands, 8 of wands, 9 of wands 9 of cups 8 of cups, the World, many cards about change, journey and challenges. Lots of rivers and hills in my cards. the whole last 2 months has been about change and its never easy change haha.

Anyhow, I had no idea my wife read cards, well actually she listens or something like that, she doesnt need a deck is what I mean, many times she will hear or read something in her mind then look up the cards and make her reading. She already knows many things before they happen, like a no shit gypsy fortune teller, we traced her family name on her mother's side to Northern Italian gyspys, so I think its in her blood, she does creep me out on occasion "When are the kids coming home?" She asks, then they walk in from the park before the words are out of her mouth, this happens often. She cannot be lied to, she knows everytime when someone is not being truthful, and she always knows what the truth is, anyway enough about my beautiful, silly, seer of a wife, this was just for you all to know what I have lived with unknowingly for 13 years, until a few months ago. Things make so much more sense now that I know all this about her though, and it makes the Tarot very real to me.

Anyhow, she tells me about 3 weeks ago, after about 3 weeks or so of me pulling one card readings and one or so spreads a day, trying to learn, she said "They are leaving you signs, in fact theres a billboard right in front of you but tou cant see it" She can see what it says but she wont tell me because its mine to find, I understand this, the answers are inside me, I just need to unlock them, or see them. I am very prideful and selfish, I was an alcoholic for many years and have stayed away from the booze and other addictive substances in recent times.

So now I am pretty darn clear headed, I think the sign is telling me to be humble and let go of who I thought I was or who I think I am, but I dont know. Any tips of relinquishing ones old self to become new? I get the Hierophant almost once a week in a reading for myself or with my wife, I commonly get wands, and occasionally cups, rarely swords or pentacles.

I asked the cards this morning what the billboard says, 4 card spread. They gave me 1) I The magician 2) XIV Reversed Temperance 3) Reversed Queen of Wands and 3) IV 5 of Wands.

So I have potential, this I know, I have great potential, I am very smart and on my journey already to be who I can be, I see things very black and white, (very religious upbringing instilled this in me) I am learning to see life in shades of gray and sometimes colors too, but I still am trying hard to get rid of that roadblock of thinkin so.... single tracked if you will, there isnt one or two choices, there are as many possibilities as life and I can create. The reversed queen if wands beimg in the 3rd position throws me off. There's hills and flowers and a wand, I get hills in my cards constantly so I know there will be challenges, there are flowers and a throne, a wand with new leaves, also pretty common for my readings since I just started Tarot, a lion, I'm a Leo so thats as expected, but shes upside down...so I dunno what it means, then the last being the V of Wands isnt very positive to me but maybe someone can interpret it differently. They are all fighting or hitting the sticks together. There's new growth on them and theres that ever present hill in the background makin me feel destined to have challenges, and growth, but why does it seem like they are fighting?

I do reflect, meditate, commune with Earth and life, I try to pay attention to everything, no matter how small or large it is but this billboard as my wife puts it is still there unread by me... I've humbled myself so so so much in the last few month and I hope soon I will see it.

Any insight to what this " Billboard" is saying to me would be so much appreciated. Thank you.

TL:DR; I cant see everything I am supposed to, how do I open my mind eyes and spirit to see it?
