▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄

You cradle your phone in both hands and stare down at the little red heart. Double tapping your own mother’s message should not make you feel this gross and torn apart inside.

You stare at your instagram chat with her for a few more minutes than you’d like to admit, then shut off the phone altogether and lay it facedown on the bed next to you. 

You’re somewhere in the Swiss alps with your performance team, taking a few days to ski before the holidays. You, luckily, have your own room in the little hotel that is somehow associated with Mercedes as a whole. 

There’s a gnawing in your chest. Should you have responded to you mom with actual words? 

Things at home have been rocky lately. 

It started the week of Abu Dhabi. Since you were already F2 world champion, you had planned to pay the fine and skip the final race of the season, since it was thanksgiving.

In all honesty, you didn’t decide that. Your mother and father did, then held an hour long screaming match with you, which ended with your mother storming out and you in tears. 

“Don’t you love us? Don’t you want to be with your family?”

“No, of course not. To her, we’re nothing.”

They’re not nothing. You wish they were nothing, that what they thought didn’t mean anything to you.

But they aren’t nothing, and you still would move heaven and earth for your family’s approval, so you had decided to stay home for Thanksgiving, whether it jeopardized your career in motorsport or not. 

Until you got the call, they had won. You were going to miss the last race of the season, possibly the last race of your career for a family dinner. 

And then Toto called and you sprinted out of Calc, turned your car on and sped to the nearest airport, shooting a text to your mom on the way.

She had not been pleased.

A voice in your head that sounds suspiciously like Seb’s tells you that there shouldn’t be a world in which you make yourself sick worrying about what you mother is going to scream at you when you get home. 

You wish you could text him. Call him, tell him what’s wrong, but you can’t, or you won’t.

You don’t want to bother him, and you already have one set of parents that hate you, you don’t need him and Hanna to get fed up with you, too. 

You can’t, however, stomach yet another family dinner when your mother, father, aunt and uncle are all ragging on you for following you dream and being a little too busy. You know they all wish you were normal.

It’s not worth it, you decide. Going home is not worth it.

So you pick up your phone and tap on Charles’s contact, realizing only belatedly that your presence at their home would be an intrusion on their mourning.

���▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄

Christmas in Monaco is … everything you remember your childhood christmas to be. Unconditional love, laughter, light.

There are times, of course, that you all feel the lingering hole that is the absence of Herve, who was the patriarch of the family. 

Pascale, bless her soul, she does her best, and seems genuinely glad that you’ve come to celebrate with them. 

“Y/n, mon amor!” she exclaims as you walk through the door, Mercedes duffel bag thrown over your shoulder. “I was so happy when Charles told me that you were spending Christmas with us!”

She wraps you in a hug and you freeze up, willing the tears that are stinging your eyes away and easing into the embrace. There is t a time in your recent memory that your own mother hugged you like this.

Pascale snaps her fingers at Charles. 

“Charles, monte son sac dans la chambre.”

He sighs and takes your duffel over one shoulder, ascending the stairs to the bedroom you will be sharing with him.

“Come,” Pascale orders you in English. “You must be starving!”

it’s a flush of hugs and chatter and drinks flowing, sitting around this table with the Leclercs. Enzo and Arthur don’t question your presence. You assume that Charles has told them you are constantly having issues with your family. 

Charles sits to your right. Pascale heads the table and Lorenzo sits across from Charles with Arthur to his right. Lorenzo asks you and Charles about the upcoming season, congratulates you in your win. 

“Charles will not stop talking about it!”

“It’s impressive!” Charles defends, his ears pinking. “She’s the youngest to ever win!”

You pat Charles’s shoulder. 

“It’s ok, Charlie. I know I’m just so amazing.”

He mutters something in French that you don’t catch, but Pascale slaps his shoulder.

“Do not use those words at my table!”

The entire table erupts in laughter and you look around. This is the first time in a long time that a family dinner has actually felt like family.

There is a mattress in Charles’s closet that you’ve slept on for hundreds of nights throughout your lifetime. It’s a little lumpy, but the trick is to lay down a comforter under the bottom sheet and that smooths out all the bumps. 

You’ve showered and changed into your pajamas while Charles makes up the makeshift bed at the foot of his own. 

He casts a dirty look at your black Mercedes t-shirt. 

“This is a Ferrari-only household,” he scolds you with no actual bite. 

“I don’t see you driving for Ferrari.”

He rolls his eyes at you and takes one of his pillows and sets it at the head of your bed. He’s pulled the sheets tight, just like he always used to.

“When was the last time you slept here?” He asks you, breaking the weird silence you’ve fallen into. 

“Um,” You set your clothes next to your duffel. “2015? I came and stayed to watch your first home F3 race?”

He was seventeen, you fifteen, and you’d been in the height of your awkwardness, and to make matter worse, he still hadn’t discovered deodorant. Altogether, not a fond experience.

He makes an affirming noise and lays down on his bed. 

You pull back your covers and he shuts off the light, and for a while it’s just the two of you breathing. He always tries to match your inhales and exhales.

“Your family,” he blurts into the dark. “Why aren’t you with them?”

Your heart squeezes. 

“I think they think I think I’m too good for them.”

He pauses.

“Repeat? slower?”

You laugh softly. Sometimes you forget his English isn’t the greatest. 

“They think that I think that I’m better than them. My mom, especially. When she was growing up I think she idolized her parents and I don’t idolize her in the same way. She’s really scared that she can’t control me like they controlled her.”

Charles mulls that over,

“And your father? “

You sigh into the darkness. 

“I don’t know. He’s always working and he doesn’t like that I have my own opinions and stuff, because he’s very … he needs to be right. 

“And then my brother, we get along when our parents are being crazy, but it’s not like we’re close. I was gone for most of our childhood and now he’s in school.”

There’s a shifting in Charles’s bed, the you hear his feet pattering on the floor. The mattress beside you dips, then he’s laying next to you, his shoulder touching yours.

“This is very uncomfortable.”

You scoff out a laugh.

“It’s not that bad.”

“It is. My bed is much more comfortable.”

“Then go back and sleep there!” 

He shifts next to you, rolling on his side then back to his back. Lying here, next to him, it’s hot. You scoot over an inch so you can still feel him but you’re not touching. 

His breaths become slower and deeper.

“I’m sorry,” He tells you just as you’re drifting off to sleep. “That you feel like your family doesn’t want you, but… “

His hand pats yours three times. 

“I’m glad you’re here. Makes it more bearable.”

You fall asleep then, and wake up with you back to him. You sit up as the cold light streams through the blinds and look over at him. His face is smushed and a bead of drool pools on his pillow. 

“Charlie,” You whisper. “Charlie, wake up.”

He sits up like you just ran an electric shock through him. His hair is smashed to the side and he used the back of his hand to wipe the drool.

You giggle.

“C’mon, I smell breakfast.”

As soon as you say ‘It’s fine’ you know you’re done for. ‘Fine’ is never fine.

He calls you, you try to avoid the question, but then he hits you with -

“Y/n.” In his disappointed/worried voice. And it works like it always does. You tell him everything - from when it started when you were in F3 to now, how you’ve driven your family away. He listens. He’s a good listener when he wants to be.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” He asks at the end. You take a shaking breath.

Because I didn’t want you to realize I’m no good. Because you would leave me, too. Because I can’t not love them and I don’t know why.

“I don’t know.”

“Are you going home for the new year?”

You’ve been waiting on a text from your mom. That’s how it goes. Fight, spend a week in the silent treatment, one of you reaches out, you make up, then you fight again. You promised yourself that you’re not going to be the one to reach out this time.

“I don’t know.”

“If not, come to my house. We’re having a party.”

Your words catch in your throat.

“I don’t want to intrude-“

“You’re never intruding,” he assures you. “I’m your mentor, remember? I have to look out for you.”

My parents are supposed to look out for me.

“Okay,” you breathe out. “I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks, Seb.”

“Merry Christmas, Spitfire.”

Your mom texts you. She grovels. You get on a plane an hour later and go back home.

Steam Awards silliness

So apparently the "Steam Awards", which is a thing you may have seen and been very confused about, were a bit of a mess.

Steam basically wanted a to make their own Game Awards which were a voting-directly democratic process.

Naturally people took advantage of this to DUNK on their most hated game developers, rather than throwing a bone to games they actually like.

So, what happened was:

Red Dead Redemption 2 was ironically voted "Best Long-term Support From A Developer" because of how salty the community is about the game NOT recieving any long-term support.

Starfield was ironically voted for "Most Innovative Gameplay". Actual Starfield fans ALSO voted for Starfield in this and all other categories. And Bethesda happily accepted the award despite it being, yknow, a prank.

Hogwarts Legacy was voted "Best on Deck", despite being almost unplayable on deck. After some investigation I have learnt this is because Hogwarts Legacy fans mass-voted their game in every single category, regardless of its efficacy, because they think it is "overhated because of woke gay culture". Steamdeck happened to be the only one not to have had a mass vote for a different game. After those encounters, I am now adding Hogwarts Legacy onto my very small list of "things I will avoid associating with you over if you are into".

People are not sure if The Last Of Us Part 1 really does have "best soundtrack" or if everyone voted for it ironically. I'd say if it was Last of Us Part 2, it'd be ironic, but honestly it's gotta be Naughty Dog fans.

Valve had to act like every one of these was a serious nomination when writing up the reasons for them winning. They couldn't just say "Red Dead Redemption 2 support SUCKS SO MUCH that players voted for it ironically". They had to say "Despite the game being out for years the devs are still supporting their baby". Which is hilarious.

I found an article by Otaku that does a good job of summing it up:

Things get even weirder when you look at the Steam Awards’ selection of finalists in each category. EA Sports FC 24, a soccer game currently sitting at “Mixed” review status, was in the running for Game of the Year and Best Game You Suck At. A sports game is certainly an odd pick for a year otherwise jam-packed with mega releases. And though Baldur’s Gate 3 took home Outstanding Story Rich Game, it was competing with a game called Love Is All Around? Never heard of it? Don’t worry. We didn’t either, until we looked it up. Love Is All Around is a full-motion-video dating sim game inspired by the devs who “want to date every day but will never step out of the house [into] the real world. Check out the Steam page for the game here. Don’t worry, it’s mostly SFW.

So yeah if you were wondering how Starfield won most innovative game, that's how.

Salty AF Munday Meme - [ ACCEPTING ] ;; ❥ Has someone ever ruined an FC or character for you?

// Yes. Fandom ruined Kaveh for me ( for petty reasons, but I stand by them ). Allow me to explain.

So, anyone who knows me knows I am a HUGE Baizhu lover. I don't get majorly defensive over many fictional characters, but I'll go to war over Baizhu because fandom was wrongly terrible to him from the moment his character first debuted ( calling him a p*do, calling him corrupt, calling him ugly, etc, when his CANON story explicitly states he is one of the purest, kindest people to date ). Flashback to his debut banner, where Kaveh was also featured for the first time, and the hatred for Baizhu escalated SO much to the point I felt like I was going insane just for loving him. It's like they couldn't just be quiet and pull for Kaveh without throwing in an insult or two about how they ' didn't care about Baizhu ' or ' this banner only matters because of Kaveh, ' after Baizhu wanters had been waiting for literal years for him.

I don't hate the character. He reminds me of Howl Pendragon, appearance wise, and is relatively well written. But the way fandom cherishes/worships him like a god and were so swift in putting down MY favorite character just... turns me off so much. Granted, G.I's fandom has a TON of faults and this isn't the first time they've done this ( and it won't be the last, I'm sure ), but... yeah. Just... sorry to the Kaveh lovers. The GOOD ones, at least.

♥ What's the WORST thing that has happened to you rp wise?

☀ What's your rp pet peeve?

❥ Has someone ever ruined an FC or character for you?

@squaletta | salty af mun meme

☠ What does someone have to do for an instant unfollow from you?

There are numerous ways. But the most surefire is calling out my friends, or being generally disrespectful and mean. I've seen it before, we've all seen it before. It's not acceptable on my turf. I don't even care what the reason is; if someone's being unpleasant, I don't want them around. I'm too old to deal with RP drama.

♥ What's the WORST thing that has happened to you rp wise?

I know this is not a subject too widely accepted, but I also refuse to diminish from the weight it held on me even if it goes against the perceived wider opinion. It's no secret that Tumblr is home to many LGBTQ+ writers and users. I don't happen to be in that group, although I do very much support anyone doing whatever they want. I, am a straight, white man. And much like the reverse can happen, I've suffered Heterophobia and the cancellation of its very concept before. To me, if you can't admit that this is a thing, especially because I've been on its receiving end, you're ignoring a real problem to justify some glorified, flawed ideal. It's blatantly disrespectful, since if it was Homophobia or Transphobia, all hell would break loose.

Again, niche. But still an issue that I went through.

☀ What's your rp pet peeve?

Roleplaying in second person POV. I don't even mind first person POV, and the widely-accepted third person POV I'm obviously cool with. But second person POV RP just makes me cringe and, I can't even write with that. It's that bad. xD

❥ Has someone ever ruined an FC or character for you?

Not so much 'someone' as much as 'everyone' did.

I cannot, for the life of me, look at any Hirunaka no Ryuusei and/or Horimiya FCs and not just get disheartened.

Look, I get it. The art is beautiful and the characters are too, on top of holding good emotional weight with the franchise's readers. But for the love of god -- those faces and appearances have to be the most basic-looking manga people I have ever seen. Ever.

In the context of super-powered fantasy series, I just... Can't really accept that this nobody-looking bunch is supposed to be on the same level as, or higher than, a majority of the canon cast. They just look so... Bland. Like "I'm sorry but I've seen that face at least a million times now." Suspension of disbelief only goes so far -- and I can no longer accept that Daiki Mamura, is a pyrokinetic, expert assassin that's 6'4" in the world of One Piece. Like... That's just unexceptional in the context of the world.

It doesn't mean I won't RP with OCs with those faceclaims, of course. I'm just, really biased and starting off as uninterested, at this point.

salt meme *cracks knuckles*: ☠ What does someone have to do for an instant unfollow from you? ☼ How long do you stay mad? ☢ What fads/trends are you so over (What is a fad)? ♨ Have you ever made a public call out post? ❥ Has someone ever ruined an FC or character for you? ❣ How salty are you feeling right now (Please give a comparison beginning of writing the answer to this and after you wrote it, for science purposes)?

— @delusionaid // Prompt: The salty AF meme

❣ How salty are you feeling right now? (1) I can't believe Youtube is playing a song called 'Do or Die' as I'm typing this up. Youtube wants me to go hard, but I dunno how much I can live up to that. But currently, salt levels are around 7/10.

☠ What does someone have to do for an instant unfollow from you? Show a genuine lack of respect across the board. This plays into numerous elements of social interaction, but more so than anything, it plays into the element of taking away someone's autonomy to how they run their blog. See, this is actually also something that more so makes it that I'll never follow you in the first place, but I guess that'll also work as salt too, right? Right, autonomy, I hate that we live in 2024, and people have been all about "it's your blog, you have the freedom to do what you want!" Yeah, except, ding, ding, 'do what you want' doesn't quite mean what we all think it does. You know, that little thing called its official definition? Yeah, not a thing. Have your liberty, however, you can't write with this person or that muse because they're problematic (correction: this person 'feels' that they're problematic) or have done some questionably morally grey things in their lifetime, you can't write a character with any of these 375 faceclaims that you're supposed to keep track of and agree with, if you write a villain then you should obviously ignore all of these villainous traits that make them villains because why would you ever write a villain who does bad things? (Unless he's hot or said villain is a female character, of course), on that note, please ignore this and this bit of canon because it makes me (personally) very uncomfortable. And to expand on the last two in specific, obviously you can't ever write or acknowledge these (dark) things any way, because if you write a character who even did something less bad, like spoke rudely to anyone, you obviously do the same thing in life outside of Tumblr.com and so I will write a callout about you. But apart from all of that and more things that are coincidentally hidden behind a little 'etc.', you can do whatever you want! Have fun!!

❣ How salty are you feeling right now? (2) About... 9/10.

☼ How long do you stay mad? Unless it's something really trivial, I'll usually sleep and my brain will process it back into non-existence the next day or the one after. But I do however, hold a grudge like none other. Granted, getting to that point is rather difficult to do, but if you do genuinely wrong me in some capacity, then I will remember that. Now, I believe in second chances, but those can't apply everywhere, for I do firmly believe that there are lines that truly shouldn't ever be crossed. Overall however, I'm not an angry person and to anger me in the first place is quite difficult. And you know, you especially do like to say that even when I'm angry, I'm smiling and laughing and 'don't really sound any different', so how mad/angry am I really? I think I really am just the 'No talk me I angy' cat meme in the flesh.

☢ What fads/trends are you so over? I still hate the concept of 'censorship'. I'm sorry, but if I dislike a character, a culture, a character trait, a show, book, an adaptation, I have every right to say so and I can even talk about it on my blog for hours if I so choose to do so, just like others are allowed to do the exact opposite. It is a two-way street. I shouldn't have to adhere to some system of social politics of, well, you're allowed to complain or talk about how this and this is bad, but if you want to touch on that, well no, we can't quite let you do that one! That's not exactly fitting in the current social political climate. Because here's my thing with it in general, if anyone for example told me that they disliked Yelan, I think that it would be a shame, if someone told me that, for example, they disapprove of my take of her sleeping around (again: not done in promiscuity); that's perfectly fine, tell me why and we can have a friendly talk about it. Because last I checked, discussion is incredibly healthy for our mental development. I want to know why people think differently, and I love the challenge of even possibly changing their perspective on the matter. But if everything is censored from the get-go, then there's no discussion, no potential for growth or understanding. I'm sad that this mere concept is still as prevalent in all fandoms as it seems to be.

♨ Have you ever made a public call out post? Can salt posts like this entire ask response be considered as a public call out post of bad behavior across the board? Yes? Okay great, then yes, I absolutely have. I reblog a salt meme like this at least once every 2/3 months when my activity isn't entirely shot into the depths of hell itself

❥ Has someone ever ruined an FC or character for you? Meh, I don't care much about FCs, at least not like I used to when I actively used them, nor did I ever really feel like any FC was ever 'ruined' for me. I just get very tired of people overusing specific characters or roles, but I'm very easily affected by overexposure or over-hype in general, so this isn't surprising.

❣ How salty are you feeling right now? (3). 6/10 or so, I'd say.

☠ What does someone have to do for an instant unfollow from you?

so i don't have a lot really. i guess if i can tell you didn't read the rules, if you're mainly a smut blog and i guess just rude. if you're involved in a lot of drama i probably would do tbh.

GOT/ASOIAF OC form (Naela Stark)

form adapted from this template! Note: this OC lives in an AU relative to the GOT/ASOIAF canon, one in which Rhaegar married Cersei and became king, rather than start a war over Lyanna Stark.

BASIC

Name: (Lady) Naela Stark

Nickname: Pup (by her parents), Little Wolf

Culture: Westerosi (born to House Stark & House Dayne)

Religion: The Old Gods

Sexuality: Bisexual (openly)

APPEARANCE

Overall: Naela stands at 5'5" (1.65 m). Like the typical Westerosi noblewoman, she has a healthy frame. However, as she gets older, the toned muscles she gains from her sword-fighting lessons become a little more evident. Visually, Naela takes after her mother, inheriting the indigo irises that she made famous in her youth, as well as her skin tone and facial features. Somehow, Naela managed to get her dark, wavy hair from her grandparents. She wears it in a braided updo for formal occasions, but she prefers to wear it free, where it rests just below her shoulders. Clothes: she wears dark shades of layered fabrics, which is the common style for women in Winterfell. Due to the weather, her people dress more for warmth and comfort than for aesthetics. When given the opportunity to travel south, she'll opt for dresses in deep purples and blues.

FC: Tristin Mays

BACKGROUND

Naela was born in Winterfell to her parents, Eddard "Ned" Stark, and Ashara Dayne, who had met at the Tourney of Harrenhal the year before. She ended up being the first of their two children, as her sister Arya would be born five years later. She had a happy childhood. Her parents were always receptive to her excited ramblings--not to mention her discovery of her queer identity, which was usually looked down upon by those who followed the Faith of the Seven. It probably helped that her father had grown up adoring his younger sister, Lyanna (Naela's favorite of his siblings), and her mother was from Dorne, the most progressive of the Westerosi regions. Naela's cousins (Robb, Sansa, Bran, and Rickon) played with her as much as Arya did. Naela especially liked to fist-fight with the boys when her Aunt Catelyn and the septas (who disapproved of her "unladylike behavior") weren't looking. Eventually, Naela would ask her parents for a sword, which she was gifted on her fourteenth birthday. She named it Nightfall, and she secretly used it to train in the event that her uncle, Ser Arthur Dayne, chose to pass down the ancestral sword of his house, letting her become the next Sword of the Morning. The only "present" she's ever loved as much as her sword is her direwolf, which she named Moony.

(AU note) yep, I made Ashara a WOC. Call her a Salty or Sandy Dornishman. Her dad remarried after his first wife died.)

PERSONALITY

Overall: she's well known for being the figurative sun in the snowy North. Naela is a ball of energy, always loving to run around the lands of her uncle (King Rickard Stark) on the adventures she and her younger sister plan. It's rare that she's ever truly still or sad. The exceptions to this are when she's learning about tales of courtly love and/or great warriors from her parents (which keeps her still) or when she's longing for a real adventure of her own (which deeply worries her). She's a hopeless romantic at heart, partly due to the fact that her parents fell in love at first sight. This quality ties into her main weakness--her naivety. Though she is admirably loyal and true, Naela is often warned that her heart will be her undoing if someone with ill intentions tries to lead her astray.

Hobbies: sword-fighting, hearing/reading stories, dancing

Fear(s): that she'll never find the adventure she seeks

@soulsxng || the salty af munday meme

❥ Has someone ever ruined an FC or character for you?

Not a super dramatic “ruined” like “I’ll never interact with a muse that has that fc again”, but I do have one that comes to mind that triggers...I could you could call it Pavlovian annoyance? The mun tended to spout negativity a lot of the “I feel like everyone here hates me and no one wants to interact with me” type which is a valid feeling because emotions aren’t always rational! But when a post of that nature was being made every few days it started bringing my mood down too.

Anyways, yeah, they were ship obsessed to the point where they’d only get interested in writing with you if they thought they were, not ‘could’ but ‘would’ getting a romantic ship out of it, only interacted with muses they could get a ship from, and their muse’s personality and the way they wrote them just kind of personally grated against me. Especially in some, to me, semi-reductive ways they approached and talked about their muse’s interest in sex.

That fc isn’t super used though and other than that, any others that could reach Pavlov’s Annoyance aren’t that popular either, so I guess I’m lucky.

☀ What's your rp pet peeve?

Man let me tell you. What’s really been a thorn in my side these past couple of years? People who follow/follow back but then simply refuse to write with you. Like you respond to an open starter and the thread quickly gets dropped. You like starter or plotting or inbox calls and they quietly get deleted?! You send in asks and nothing? And all the while it isn’t as if they’re gone or not in the mood to write, their activity is fine it’s just that they’re writing with the 3-5 mutuals that are their favorites, and who they generally have romantic ships with.

Hell, I was getting ignored like that once over the period of a month or so, so I went to their IMs to see, like, what was up? They assured me that they totally did want to write with me, so as I was trying to plot with them they.....then simply stopped responding. Same deal as before, still active, still writing, just weeks of no word from them.

Anyways, I’m totally fine if people find a tightknit group of mutuals they get very passionate about writing with to where the responses come faster and easier for them, I’ve got that myself so I get it. I just wish that if those are the only people they’re interested in writing with that they would at least acknowledge that to themselves before following other people they won’t ever give the time of day. I’d much rather someone realize maybe our styles or muses or their energy don’t mesh well and then softblock me instead of me putting in the time to craft a really good ask, plot, or starter that I think could lead to a great dynamic just for it to go unacknowledged completely.

the salty af munday meme. (reformatted from here!)

☠ What does someone have to do for an instant unfollow from you? untagged / uncut smut roleplay, any display of bigoted or hateful views, guilt-trippy words, vagues, pity fishing. new one bug misgendering me (she/her and they/them are NOT my pronouns: I LITERALLY HAVE MINE LISTED EVERYWHERE), making jokes or fun of my name (newsflash: yin yang jokes are actually racist when i'm asian.) i've developed very low tolerance levels for all of this.

♥ What's the WORST thing that has happened to you rp wise? uhhh that one time a duplicate (who was an adult) stalked and tried to turn an entire community against me when i was sixteen because I wouldn't give in to covert measures at discouraging me from writing this specific character. and then ANOTHER duplicate of that same character tried to do the same thing but she went the extra mile to have her lackeys send anon hate while gaslighting me about it when i confronted her directly.

♦ What was a mildly annoying thing that has happened to you rp wise? Um. There's a conversation to be had about RPers preferences for cis male characters.

♢ Has anyone ever tried to steal your blog? Your headcanons? Icons? All that jazz YES. OH MY GOD. While I block all duplicates on a principle so I can avoid seeing it again, I've had it happened to me way back on the characters I played when I was 16 and it's like. WHY. YOU'RE EVEN FOLLOWING ME AND THE SAME PEOPLE I WRITE WITH TO DO THAT. Don't get me started on when I rped a character that was a popular fc among tumblr rps at the time because I'd find my icons on their blogs too and once I got so fed up that I just released all icons I used (shy of 900 total).

♚ How many people don't like you? I'm sure I've got plenty, but for my peace of mind, I'm not trying to think about it.

⚜ How many people do you not like? For everyone's peace of mind, I'd like to leave this one unanswered.

✮ Have you managed to stay away from drama? Somewhat. But because this place is that place, it inevitably crops up.

☄ Have you ever been in the middle of drama? Yes, but like, when I was sixteen.

☯ Have you ever tried to bring peace to a situation? Yes, and I got ganged up on for it.

☼ How long do you stay mad? Depends on the severity of the situation; I tend to hold grudges when I don't get apologies, though. ( And like, real ones. Not 'Oh, I didn't mean to do so and so. I'm sorry.' )

☀ What's your rp pet peeve? Triple space, purple prose, heavy font formatting, 5x5px icons. I ... don't have the best eyes, and a lot of people don't either. It gives me a message that people don't give a fuck about accessibility. I also hate when people use a lot of passive voice.

☁ Have you ever forgiven a partner when you shouldn't have? No, because the North remembers.

☂ Have you ever been forgiven when you knew you shouldn't have been? No, because I tend to not reconnect with people I've cut off and vice versa.

☢ What fads/trends are you so over? See my rp pet peeve. Can we PLEASE try to be accessible.

☣ Have you ever rp'd with someone you knew for a fact was abusive but tried to give them a chance/to make up your own opinion on the roleplayer? Did they change or did you understand what people were talking about? I'll do you one better: I dated one and rped with one and it was good for a year until I realized how much the callouts ended up actually being true of her behavior. (smiles) Needless to say....... sigh.

♨ Have you ever made a public call out post? No.

❀ What has made you completely lose your chill? Being gaslit when I tried to approach someone about something their friends were doing towards me. I don't expect you to be people's keepers but if your people are coming after me anonymously in your name, you can't just sit back and do nothing and tell me I'm overreacting like be serious.

✿ What do you think about public call out posts? They're good when they're necessary. They're dumb when the 'evidence' are the allegations themselves and not actual proof or just clear signs of stalking.

✂ A fandom that you feel isn't open and accepting? Idk. Most canons; they don't really care much for crossover interactions as much as they say they do, and they certainly don't care much for OCs.Some canon spaces don't even allow OCs.

✉ A fandom that you feel is open and accepting? OC 'fandom'(?) have my hearts. Other OC writers go above and beyond to help get some interactions going, and they're some of the strongest writers on the planet to keep going, despite how much this plaform has stacked against them.

✦ Thoughts on duplicates following you? Don't.

✧ Do you agree with reblog karma or is it forced interaction? Considering I don't want people reblogging memes and stuff from me, I don't practice it. However, if I see a meme on my feed, I'll do my best to send something in to engage.

❥ Has someone ever ruined an FC or character for you? [Pained smile.]

❦ Has someone been jealous of you? Yes.

❧ Have you ever been jealous of anyone? No.

✖ How has Tumblr RP changed since you started? In ways, it's gotten better. While it's not by a huge margin, the fact that people are generally more enthusiastic at having marginalized characters or characters with these traits added to certain canon characters in their spaces says a lot about where we are in society. I also love that we're more quick to call out weird people and whitewashing. Where I was in Tumblr RP back in 2012-16, you couldn't really imagine much of this since it was kept under horny wraps. People also won't put straight up korn with the p on your feed without their proper tags the way they did back then, so that's a major plus.

♒ Thoughts on the fandom you're currently rping in? If I'm being honest with you, it's just the people that know about Psycho-Pass. LOL.

❣ How salty are you feeling right now? Not at all.

☀ What's your rp pet peeve?

Well from fellow rpers it would probably just be when it's clear they don't read about the ways a muse is divergent from canon or when a muse will repeatedly do very risky/foolish things without any clesr understanding that the muse is being risky

Then from rphs it has gotta be how catered everything is to live action, slice of life or bare bones drama genres stuff is, along with their defaults rules what how they acg like that is the whole rpc.

✂ A fandom that you feel isn't open and accepting?

Danganronpa, it was accepting of my canon divergence with my muses but not when I tried to call attention to a groomer who had wrote a pe//d/o character in the past without remorse stating to get into rp circles again. I also found myself often ignored by people I reached out to.

Now ofc that was only one circle of that rpc and I even still have my danganronpa muses, I am just going to be selective about who I interact with.

❥ Has someone ever ruined an FC or character for you?

Honestly no, I view muses and muns as extremely separate, like how someone would veiw a book writer and their characters so even though I have ran into a few bad eggs over the years that doesn't effect my views on the characters, and tbh I don't pay attention to fc's at all so not much of an issue.

I will say though that a few aus & select plots/actions have become touchy for me but it is unlikely for me to run into these things again.

❣ How salty are you feeling right now?

Honestly not much at all, I've been relaxing and working on my rp blog and making it so I can better do stuff on mobile
