#casually blogs after months of inactivity

[love-bokumono-fics]

State of the Blog Announcement

Hey guys, I wanted to give you a heads up for some changes coming to the blog in 2025.

This is not a decision I make lightly, but I will be taking a hiatus on the weekly Fresh Crops posts. I don't want to say they're done forever and going away, but for the foreseeable future I won't be doing them.

Nobody's done anything wrong, and I'm not mad or annoyed or anything like that. But to be honest for most of the last year putting together the weekly post has begun to feel more like a chore and an obligation than a chance to explore and share the wonderful fic the fandom is creating. And it's not a decision I make on a whim or in a fit of a bad mood. I've spent months examining my feelings on the matter and gauging how I feel to see if it is just a case of the doldrums, but the chore-feeling has returned more and more often.

So I'm taking a break now before it becomes full-blown resentment.

I have no intention of deleting the blog. It's not even going to go inactive. It just might be quieter.

I still plan on reblogging things and boosting fandom events. I want to try and stick to the monthly Casual Prompts that kind of fell off in the second half of this year. And of course I'll be checking the inbox for questions and to share the links you all submit. So don't stop with that!

And who knows, maybe with a little more time and brain power to give to other things I'll pull up some of the themed posts/events from the early days of the blog.

But after 3 and a half years of weekly (or close enough) posts I'm just beginning to feel a little burnt out.

So I'll finish up the posts for 2024, there will be one more regular weekly post, and then the last week or so of fics collected in the end of year post and that will be it for the time being.

If you want to find new Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons fic, you'll have to find it the old fashioned way - searching through AO3 yourself.

If you want to see your own fic or a fic you really love featured on the blog, you'll have to employ the Submission Box. It will stay open.

Thank you all for understanding!

Cheers 💜

This blog has officially reached 100 (+) Followers!!

You have no idea how much this means to me. I cherish each and every one of you. When I started writing a few short months ago I never expected to receive any attention at all really.

As a result of 20+ people following me just based on Dc Titans, I am happy to announce that they have officially been added to my list for requests!

For the near future I will be coming out with the following fics (in no particular order):

-Dwayne x Half-Vampire!Reader (The Lost Boys)- A casual night with Dwayne after being turned.

Fluff, Comfort, very high chance of the other boys being annoying but that's a given REQUESTED

-Dick Grayson X Vigilante/Titans!Reader (DC Titans)- Reader doesn't believe Dick when he reveals his feelings for them due to his past relationship history. He goes out of his way to try and prove that he's a better person than he was.

Frenemies to Lovers type vibes, Reader acts like an asshole throughout but its lowkey warranted. Fluff with probably just a splash of Angst.

-Astrid Deetz x Gn!Reader (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice)- The final part of An Accidental Haunting, which features little shenanigans that the couple now goes through, now that the reader is alive again.

Just pure teeth rotting Fluff. Reader being a dumbass, as per usual. Flirty reader and also Reader who forgets they're alive now and almost gets themselves k*lled. REQUESTED

-Poly!The Lost Boys x Ghost!Reader (The Lost Boys)- This fic is still stumping me but I'm trying my damn hardest to make this decent enough to post. Poly relationships have always made me a little uncomfortable for personal reasons. (No hate to anyone who is in a Poly relationship, reads about them, prefers them etc.) I don't want to let down the people who are looking forward to it though, so I appreciate the patience.

-Dennis Rafkin X Ghost!Reader (13 Ghosts 2001)- Part 2 of my self-indulgent fic that I am extremely excited to write.

Angst, Hurt and Comfort, Enemies to Lovers (Kind of)

-Tom Riddle X Fem!Reader (Harry Potter)- Chapter 2 where I will be getting more into the story aspect and less of the background information. I'm very sorry that it's taken a while for me to write it, but I promise it is on my to-do list. I am currently doing some research to make the story somewhat more accurate.

-Ryan Kuhn ("The Jackal" from 13 Ghosts 2001)- 13 Ghosts backstory fic loosely based off of the snippet of information that was provided by the 2001 movie. I desperately feel like there was a missed opportunity for a spin off based on the ghost's past lives and their capture by Cyrus. I'm going to do it myself through fanfiction, because I can.

This one will also have many warnings beforehand and I will sat it now, as well as when I write the story. I DO NOT support the character's behavior, nor do I condone any of his actions. Again, this is a character and not a real person, but the point remains.

I will not blame my inactivity when it comes to writing based solely on my depression, but it is a big factor at the end of the day. This milestone does give me a huge boost of confidence to continue writing and that is exactly what I plan on doing. Thank you all very, VERY much.

-Ghost <3

Also: TO THE PEOPLE TAGGED BELOW-

Please COMMENT on which tag list you would like to be a part of. (or if you just didn't see my tag list post and wish to be added) Otherwise, I will just put you in the general tag list. If you do not want to be in any of the tag lists and I tagged you in this, just tell me and I will take your name off the list completely.

If you need a reminder as to the upcoming tag lists, you can find it here.

i've thought about it, and after stuff that's happened, to do with fandom, and overall...everything, i genuinely feel like i just wanna be on here casually for bl stuff atm, and stop blogging about kpop for the most part.

because all this - the anons that i can't keep up with, the callout posts made when things could have been addressed differently, the mental gymnastics some of y'all do, the flip-flopping when it comes to your faves, the superiority complexes, the apologists, the bootlickers aaalllll the varying degrees of bullshit i have witnessed over the last few days - i have TRULY had enough of at the moment, and it's time for me to step away.

i'm not gonna be inactive, but i'm not gonna be as active? i'm not unfollowing anyone, but if y'all wanna unfollow, softblock, block, go ahead do whatever you need to do.

i'll still be in dm's if you guys want to chat, and my inbox will be open - nothing will change there, but after the ones i clear today, i probably wont answer debates about kpop shit.

and every kpop fandom is trash actually, like NONE of you are superior.

this might be a bit of dramatic response? idk, but after all the shit that's happened to me over the last 9 months, i need to do this for my own emotional wellbeing.

[i-eat-mass-blog]

cool pinned/introduction (its just my old bio)

Dang, I forur this existed💀

Dawson/Walter/Walt/Daws He/Him, Cis Music Freak, Horror Movie Lover, Video Game casual Blog is mostly dedicated towards music, halloween/spooky shit, and rambles of a mentally ill emo boy. And sometimes drawings too I guess. Beware, I like music that ranges from slutty electropop to gothic metal, you'll experience genre whiplash when I talk about music Also I'm kinda inactive here. I'm like that one relative you see every blue moon and never see them again, except it's me reposting three things after not posting for almost a month on here. Here for the fun and vibes

[consequencesofargentdawn]

Yo, I've been casually checking out the blog from time to time since a while. So long story slightly shortened I used to be a part of the Assemblage Gnome Guild during BFA and some part of Shadowlands. See, I got nabbed up when I was a complete noobie alt-tabbing in Stormwind while waiting on a fella to hop on to RP. Well, they were busy and when I tabbed back in i was being approached lmao. Despite vague warnings of this PCU I had no real clue and didn't bother to look up what was going on. I got booted for inactivity when irl got the best of me, with Perroy himself asking me "Do you even rp anymore" or shit along those lines. Told him I was on a break and sometime later i learned i was booted when I did not spot the Discord server on my list. So can I get caught up on wtf has been going on with the Assemblage and that other Dwarf Guild i cant remember the name of? I can post my whole ass story in a follow up, either here or on discord, but I am curious what has been going on with them during their existence, even when I was not there. I was around when the guild was on it's last legs, the head honcho having quit, replaced by another character. Said new GM literally had to use an alt for the next next event's npcs. (I say next twice cuz the first one they planned literally did not get enough people to attend [skull emoji].) Also I heard about something something Perroy and gnomes. So.. yeah. Don't spare me any details 'n stuff, I wanna know it all. Also as an ending note here is a fun fact: I got scolded several times for logging off before the member count thing that was happening by the leader at the time, Ryder. Thanks for reading my ramblings. I might even ramble more sometime.

Assemblage of Uld and League of Modimus were the real main Eastern Kingdoms foothold for the PCU after the Bloody Verdict was brought down in (you guessed it) a sex pest scandal. Despite that however Gnome and Dwarf RP has always been a niche that never truly gains the same number of players as other more popular niches (Humans, Military, Elves etc).

From our understanding there were too many long term Dwarf guilds persisting on Argent Dawn for the standard PCU policy of infiltration, dissimulation and assimilation of others for the PCU to maintain consistent numbers and activity.

Guild leaders from League of Modimus also ended up wanting to try out and make a Dracthyr guild as Dragonflight approached and their attempts understandably backfired when it was seen that they were not just some normal RPers but actually PCU gang members trying to take over yet another niche.

League of Modimus and Assemblage of Uld ultimately merged into Forgecog Fellowship, which lasted a few months before ultimately unable to keep interest, also went the way of the dinosaur.

Your insights however have been of interest to us, and again confirm the type of person Perroy and his officers have usually been. If you would like to share more we would be happy to publicize your experiences, anonymously of course if that is desired.

Are you ok?

erm, at the moment . kinda . lol. just been inactive bc running a tumblr blog is . kinda draining - even though i run primarily off a queue lol.

long life rant for my,,, 86 followers i suppose !

im 18 now, turning 19 in april (i started my first yanblr in ? 2020 maybe? so when i was 13/14 and it got banned in 2022 lmfao). i was so much more unstable back then, and im a bit better now.

i found my current bf in 2022, and we've been . kinda on and off for nearly 3 years now. we took a 'break' for months in late 2023 (? or 2022 idfk, it was over a christmas) and i fucking hated it. i was cutting and crying every day it was so fucking bad lol. and then, the day after he broke up with me, he flew up to see his friends and he probably just partied n cheated on me and stuff but its FINE probably idk

ummm then he suddenly started joining calls again with me n the group again and i guess that evolved into us doing sleep calls again and . other shit (lol) but i was entirely under the impression it was FWB stuff but ! turns out it wasnt even though like 4 months prior he said that he never loved me but thats fine

now ive worked at maccas for a bit, at kfc for a bit, and doing a christmas casual thing at myer for a bit and i got accepted into TAFE to do a certificate 3 in childcare + childhood education - which will allow me to, yk, work at a pre-school.

ive saved up enough money to finally meet my friends and boyfriend. but i dont know if im meeting my bf alone or if hes flying up to see our friends together but god i fucking hope its just us bc idk if i can be all relationship-y in front of other people. us meeting is pretty much just just trying to get the answer to 'are they insufferable irl and do i want to continue the relationship' . which i find will be kinda a hard conversation to have with other people in the house/around us/WHATEVER .

but thats a conversation i need to have with him on the 22nd after i go to my TAFE orientation and find out when my term holidays are (bc the plan is to visit him when the school holidays happening) . yay .

i definitely feel like we are more friends with benefits bc he doesnt seem to want to do anything privately with me anymore. like just us 2 in call . which is upsetting . but its ok .

idk all in all, im kinda fucking struggling STILL with doubts and anxiety. and more often than not im finding myself wanting to cut and cry every day and sometimes on the way to work i have the urge to just jump in front of the train im catching - but im still here so take that as you will.

sometimes, to get through the day, i pretend we're just friends so that i dont have to remember that we're in a relationship and that he treats me more like a friend than a girlfriend .

i wonder if im not enough or if he's embarrassed. i dont really know how to do my makeup and i think all of his own friends are dating really pretty girls - and im a cute 4/10 at best . i dont want to be the 'ugly girlfriend'.

i think my life is slowly coming together but im also in a shit headspace a lot of the time . i think about breaking up a lot . sometimes i dont know if its worth being together when i dont feel loved and supported . im scared to meet him bc what if im ugly and gross - im scared he'll judge me if we have sex.

but ill be ok i think.

thank you for asking, anon xx

Hello, my name is Cryptex and this is an independent blog for the original character

𝙶𝚛𝚒𝚖𝚞𝚕𝚏

A Hilichurl Rogue from the series Genshin Impact.

We Are Down To Role Play & Write With

Canon and or Original Characters

Crossovers, Verses, Alternative Universes, Different Timescapes

Everyone -but being mutually following each other helps tracking.

We Adore

Literate paras, with long winded replies!

One liners, or casual chats between muses {We tend to mirror what we get}

Asks, prompts, inquiries

Secret admirers, gifts, submissions.

A mix of shenanigan’s and Koala-T

DM’s if you jus’ wanna geek out over the fandom or have a plot storm.

➽ ＲＯＬＥ ＰＬＡＹ

Mun | Writer: Is over the age of 25 and I do not want to interact with minors.

Canon | Divergent I’d say I am Divergent A.F.  and sorta canon {CanonBending-Evolving} I adore Genshin Impact lore and there are many details to this original character that reference it.

Standard Role Play Rules: No God-modding, forcing a ship or killing the muse w/o discussion.

TheTrim: I appreciate a trimmed post but if you cannot, I got you covered.

Plotting, Planning & Brainstorming: I’d prefer to have you feel comfortable enough to reach out and say hello, lets write! But you don't have to, it can be a totally spontaneous reaction between our muses upon the dash. Please keep in mind, if you tag me or merely mention me I may miss it, in that case throw something at Grim.

Stand Alone Projects: I tend to view paras | chats | stories as stand alone. All separate from one another. I compartmentalize it in order to have creative freedom, to write whatever I  like with whomever, even duplicate muses. However, three-way plots or storylines are fun IF they are plotted out and discussed between all parties.

Thread Dropping: I tend to give fellow partners Two Months and IF there's been no reply, no PSA posted, blog went inactive I will archive the thread and move on. If you make a come a come back and want to start something new or pick up where we left off, just DM me.

Muse Insertion: Please do not insert your muse into my storyline that I have worked on with another writer without OUR permission, especially if you are coming after my muse. Going full on ‘Ima kill him’ and then tagging me w/o plotting before hand is just rude and poor RP etiquette.  

Discord: I do have it but I am not passing it out like tic-tacks. If we are working together already and you want to move something off the dash, into a private RP or simply to keep in contact, DM me.

➽  RELASHIONSHIPS

I adore them. All kinds. Friends, rivals, acquaintances, lovers can all come at me.

Romantic Shipping: Is chemistry based. Let me say it again =  100% chemistry based. I must admit, having a banter between muns is nice but not a necessity. Please be respectful of other ships, I do not write for exclusive muses. This is NOT a 1x1 blog. 

I will not write romantic ships or smut with minors, 21+ Adults Only.

Canon | Non-Canon Characters Shipping: I will ship with both. I am not a snob. I prefer creative freedom.

The Smut: There is a chance it can happen. A plot or ship is involved before it evolves to the intimate point. It will be tagged as NSFW for those who would rather not see it. If a thread evolves to something of an intimate nature and you’d rather not write such items, I am happy to use fade to black. Or if you’d rather not have it public on your tumblr dash it can be moved to private RP in discord.

21+ please, no minors, do NOT interact. Adults Only.

➽ EXTRAS

Following: Chances are IF I followed you, I lurked and would like to work with you. Take a follow as an open invitation to jump into my DMS to plot.

Triggers: This blog can harbor mature topics. I will do my best to tag accordingly. 

tw: knives    tw: nsfw   tw: death    tw: suicide    tw: gore   

GIFS | Icons: Are not necessary if you do not have them, its ok. I will work with you.

I like to create, I do make my icons, gifs and some art pieces for my muse. Please DO NOT steal EVERYTHING from this blog, or I will HEX you and Grim will EAT you. 

—(••÷ 𝔻 𝕀 𝕊 ℂ 𝕃 𝔸 𝕀 𝕄 𝔼 ℝ 𝕊 ÷••)—

➽ This is me reiterating some things… 

This can be a dark role play blog with subject matter that may be objectionable | problematic for some people. Please understand that there could be mentions of death, spirituality, gore, paganism, horror, magick, violence, suicide, drug use, alcohol, mental disorders,  torture, NSFW and other potentially triggering subjects that could be a routine part of this role play blog from time to time. Viewer Discretion Is Advised.  If I am writing about something rest assured I have either researched it to a degree and or its personal experience.  To make others comfortable I do tag things. I can only do so much, remember you can unfollow, block, hard- block and or YEET me right off your dash at anytime and that’s OK, you do you. 

➽ I  Do Not  Write

NSFW-SMUT OR ROMANTIC SHIPS With Minors

->this includes excessive gore, abuse, drug use, alcohol use, mental disorders etc. 21+ Please. I will come to you with inquiries, while plots are being discussed and or played out should stories veer in a direction that heeds caution.

➽ Communication Is Key

Should I write, post or do something that has offended you, please let me know and I will do my best to make amends. I’d rather have a writing partner of mine, come to me and address it directly if something is amiss. It is easy to alter a reply, remove or add something in. My writing partners comfort and level of contentment is of value to me.

➽ I loathe drama,

hate and shit-shaming other writers over personal disagreements. Everyone has the right to be here and to enjoy. I have watched tumblr dashes explode with direct callouts or vague, toxic shaming. Even lynch mobs rallying in discord to wreak havoc upon fellow creators blog or platform. Its BS.

   —= If that’s your thing, be gone. =—

➽ Cliques: I prefer to include verses exclude. 

➽ No hate will be tolerated here. PERIOD.

-On the topic of 'Ask's" being open, if its abused they will be turned off for a period of time.

➽ A friendly reminder: this is a hobby and I write for FUN. 

➽ I am a firm believer that no one loves a muse  MORE  than the writer.

[latrans-latrans]

I’ll be leaving soon. Follow me.

The short version: this blog is coming to an overdue, official end. Look forward to a partial archive of this blog, which will debut next week. Follow my Twitter to keep up with that, and with me. 

—

Hi, how are you. I miss Tumblr, and I miss you. I still check my notifications—as some of you know—and it makes me smile to know you continue to enjoy this content. There are a few thousand of you; I realize 99% are inactive, but you all chose to follow me once, and I’m grateful for that.

After a long absence, I decided I no longer feel moved to keep using this blog. I will keep checking notifications, and I will try to answer some asks this weekend, but this will be one of the final posts. 

What next? 

A few similar blogs have been shut down in the past few months, and I worry this blog is at risk. I want to preserve all my hard work, and you want to keep reading my posts over and over, right? So I will assemble an external archive of Latrans content, just in case. This will begin next week. To learn more about it, you should...  

Follow me on Twitter at https://twitter.com/latranslatrans. Updates about the archive will be posted there. If I ever decide to create this type of content again (maybe even a picture or two?) it will be posted there. If anything happens to this Tumblr, I’ll tell you there. I’ll also follow back the first 150 unlocked accounts.   

If you want to say hi, you can message me on Twitter or Tumblr, always. But understand that replies may be slow. (And I might experiment with “casual dating”, soon, now that I’m single for the first time in years... Want to try your luck, see if I live nearby?)

Anyway, thank you. I’m proud of this ridiculous blog, and I always will be. I’m proud to have spread some trans family love, to have helped some of you feel safer and more confident in your sexuality, and to have inspired a few thousand orgasms; I think I did some good in the world. Thank you for all of the attention. Stay in touch. T4T forever. Love, C.L.

[homestuck-vocals]

What’s your opinion on the Broadwaystuck revival?

*I don't follow tags and have been in an "inattentive" phase for a couple months now so I'm not keeping up and idk how much of the following is ACTUALY relevant to this iteration. I do not know annnnything about Broadwaystuck 2023 other than it seems to be another 1:1 casted group. * I've been on record for years as not being a huge fan of the "Broadwaystuck model" where there's an "official cast" where each character is voiced by only one person, other than for a specific project with a deadline such as a musical or planned album. I think that it might result in:

driving away interested parties cause their fave is taken. It's exclusive by design

conflict over casting, which has historically been big drama

lagging collaboration because e.g. everyone wanting a Vriska* number depends on The One Vriska's personal course schedule and workload, not to mention interests and range

similar issues if someone goes inactive without telling anyone, anything regarding that character just comes to a halt and you have to put mod energy into that situation

which is a concern for a project billed as producing things on an *indefinite* basis. there will be turnover, and this model always looks like it struggles with that possibly because of point 1

lots of effort on advertising recasts, auditions, and callbacks, when The One Vriska drops out, *after* you've told all the other Vriska singers that she's taken and they've lost interest

IMO, self-duet like "Past Me, We're Going Down" and the Karkat x Karkat "Loathing" are so much better because there's two voices! I LOVE hearing VAs for the same character together. You don't get that if you've already told all the other VAs for that character to keep walking.

*just picked vriska cuz she's so popular

I have clicked through a lot of dead group blogs where the last dozen posts are repeat attempts to cast and re-cast, and I remember the drama in 2012 about who got to be e.g. Official Broadway Nepeta. And I remember personally applying for Broadway Kanaya in 2012 and then going o well didn't get cast :/ and never trying again. I mean I could have struck out on my own but there's reasons people like to be in a collaborative network for this sort of thing.

I got the sense that it kept being replicated in group after group not because it was functional (original Broadwaystuck lasted like. four? five months? end of 2011 to april? 2012?) but because of how bright it shone, and glittered with (some preexisting) BNFs, while it briefly worked. One of the most common reactions I see in the chat of a listen party I'm hosting is "we should remake Broadwaystuck!". It's undeniable that the project had huge impact. I'm not sure that means that its successor in *impact* will or should operate the same way.

to be fair we apparently did Not At All solve this with whatever we tried with Universe C# after 2019 SAHcon, i think (hope?) in part because Discord is such a clumsy and dark platform for what we were doing. I think it's great that the current project is back on Tumblr, which being on the clearweb (make sure those blogs are search indexed!) is much more accessible to curious passers by than a locked Discord. It's also better than Twitter because Twitter is outright hostile to audio creators. Anyway the ideeeeeea there was that you would record samples for as many characters as you wanted, creating a bank of actors interested in each character as reference for collaboration, plus whatever the hell you wanted to do as an individual, so theoretically you could @tag all the actors for a given character at once for a highly targeted casting call for the specific song you wanted to make!

But this other way of doing things didn't get going. It may be that one of the upsides to the casted model is that there is a sense of a Job To Do that motivates actually producing things more than a casual free for all. I mean, everything I have actually made was because articulatelyComposed needed one more mezzo for a deadline. save for my Candy!Dave "Edges Of The World" that i Do Not Have The Fucking Range For. Chaotic tenors, call me I think the new project has folks with experience on some of those old casted projects so maybe they will iterate on some of the shortcomings. whether my opinion on organization structure is *relevant*? no, i'm not in the group AND folks actually in the group have more direct experience with similar groups than I do. i'm just someone who does data entry as a hobby.

this does all make me want to brush up some of my old WIPs

edit: firsthand feedback on how BS23 works

"part of my job on staff for the project is to set out the base structure of our albums and when songs are released and how in certain cases. we set like… a skeleton of the album we're going to make with a set end point and certain things at certain points (you cant fight the homestuck being track 100 of volume one and thus the album's closing number, track 50 of the current album being beautiful [the song], stuff like that.)

we haven't had any conflict over casting as of yet, least not that I'm aware of. some people dropped out but people drop in too, and people shuffle around based on interest or might volunteer to do a part thats missing from a group number. we've got handling and rules for inactivity and all that. collaborations arent always quick, especially the bigger the group involved, but its not because anybodys got a line or whatever?

REPOST DO NOT REBLOG !!

NAME :  raine

PRONOUNS :  she/her

PREFERENCE  OF  COMMUNICATION : discord is my #1 preference, but i’m okay with IMs to start because it’s easiest. eventually, i prefer to scoot over to disco if my partner is comfortable with that.

NAME  OF  MUSE(s) : persephone aisa / hellhound, the hunter. my other (inactive) blog is @cewyll​ – elizabeth from bioshock infinite.

EXPERIENCE  /  HOW  LONG  (  MONTHS  /  YEARS? ) : i’m 24, and i’ve been roleplaying in some form or another since i gained enough cognizance to speak, read, and walk. so it’s been a lifelong hobby! i love it. i’m never gonna stop.

BEST  EXPERIENCE :   god there are so many. SO MANY. i think it’s pretty easy to say that my best like #1 S tier experience on this blog has been plotting slowburn ships with, getting to know, and eventually fully befriending my oldest partners @alreadybrcken and @tewwor.  however, there are others, and i’m feeling talky. there was a point years and years ago when i was more active on @cewyll where the dragon age rpc just Absorbed elizabeth into their ranks. the bioshock infinite fandom was dead in the ground, and i’d just finished inquisition, so somehow she just sort of Became a known member of the da community. it was really cute. shoutout to @aithreachas​ for being a big part of this! harley used to host these really nice little chatzy nights set in the inquisiton’s tavern. it was fast-paced, but casual, and lots of little conversations happened in different areas at the same time! it really felt authentic to a bustling bar, and i remember them fondly. maybe through nostalgia goggles bc darp was also toxic af, but honestly... i miss those days even so. also harley, i’m so happy to have connected with you again after all this time <3  WHICH BRINGS ME TO ANOTHER THING I LOVE. finding old partners who vanished/drifted away and catching up again. is one of . my FAVORITE THINGS in the world. even if they disappear again, which is usually what happens, it’s always so nice to know that they’re doing okay!

RP  PET  PEEVES  /  DEALBREAKERS :   this is gonna be long :’| i’m so sorry, i’m in a grumpy mood today. pls feel free to skim or skip if you’re not in the mood for complaining/negativity. first, it fruuuuustrates me to no end when muses disrespect hellhound’s notoriety, assume she’s just a normal person from the outset, or assume she’s a good person without having any sort of conflict or struggle about it. the themes i’m trying to explore with her story are purposeful misconceptions, villainization, dehumanization, revenge and violence –– she is not(!!!) supposed to seem like she has a heart of gold underneath it all. HELLHOUND IS A SERIAL KILLER. it’s one thing for other muses that have seen a lot of violence not to flinch at her, but it’s another thing to metagame and have every character i interact with be the one person who doesn’t believe the rumors. that’s the main reason i don’t have any deeper lore in my carrd; i feel like it would just make this common problem worse second main thing i can think of: it is really frustrating when someone follows or follows back and then just never makes an attempt to reach out or interact? honestly even liking my ooc posts would be appreciated! i’ve always found that to be a really good way of shyly telegraphing ‘i see you, i like having you around.’ there are some people on my dash who like my ooc posts and whose posts i drop likes on in return, but we’ve never actually interacted, and i’m totally okay with it because we’ve still got a cute lil silent rapport out of character. like i support ur muse, u support my muse, and sometimes that’s enough. i see u. i care u. 

MUSE  PREFERENCES  FLUFF,    ANGST  OR  SMUT :  i’m not really a fluff person tbh! it has its place as a break from a lot of heavy stuff, but it has to be smartly used and i tend to lose interest when there’s too much of it. smut is also something i do sparingly, just bc it gets a liiittle boring? but i’m a huge fan of going hard on the sexual tension, and foreplay is always fun to write. which leaves angst as the gold trophy winner :’) i truly, truly never get tired of it.

PLOTS  OR  MEMES :   BOTH. i’m a HUGE fan of plotting and worldbuilding, but i’m equally fond of letting things develop solely through meme threads. one of the Core development/bonding story beats with @tewwor​‘s litho was a meme thread!! 

LONG  OR  SHORT  REPLIES :   both are lovely! usually if we start a thread short, my replies will get longer and longer, but i love rp of any length. in fact, short replies help me train my game writing muscles, because often in narrative design you have to learn how to really cut and shorten what you want to say.

BEST TIME TO WRITE :   100% the morning. like between 9 am and 1 pm EST, those are my golden hours of motivation. whether it’s writing rp, or writing my own thing, or drawing, or working out, that’s like my Window for getting things done. motivation slowly dwindles after that and i lose all of my brain juice after like 4.

ARE  YOU  LIKE  YOUR  MUSE(S) : (hi hello, pausing for a CW: abuse mentions in this paragraph!) i’m about as much seph’s opposite as you can get. i’m a people pleaser, i don’t have a lot of inner anger. i get bouts of grumpy irritation, hence the complaining above, but not like... deep anger. i don’t really get that pissed off at people. i don’t hate people. (or if i do, it’s so deeply buried that i don’t know how to access it) and i’m not violent or even remotely as traumatized as her. that being said, we both have suffered abuse, which is one of the reasons i’m so fascinated with unraveling her over and over again. seph is like... a really, really extreme example of someone who took a different path than i did in response to a specific type of trauma. in fact, most of my small circle of longest lasting/main muses have been through it and responded or developed in different ways. also i know how to fight! boxing (formerly also kickboxing and muay thai, but my new club doesn’t offer those rip) is one of my main hobbies.

Do you do headcanons?? If so can i get some domestic carulia headcanons 👀 like after carmen spends some time in argentina but then she misses jules so she goes back to england but jules is sad she left her so abruptly and isnt taking her shit so carmen moves near her and like has to re-win her over🥺🥺

anon, i absolutely do headcanons!! my brain is practically a dump for headcanons, you’ve come to the right place :D and if anyone ever wants me to write any just leave me a request in my inbox!

here is part one of my classic fic style headcanons based off of the prompt you’ve given (which is SO good by the way please i am so tempted to write it into a full fic and add to my mountain pile of drafts rn-):

carmen loves her mother, she really does. she’s sweet and kind and her family. it’s all she’s ever dreamed of. after carlotta sees her standing on her doorstep, her warm brown eyes freeze and then she gasps, launching forward and hugging her equally as shocked daughter.

“your eyes. my god, i would recognize them anywhere. [given name], is that you?”

“it’s carmen, actually,” she manages to say, her mother hugging her like it’s the end of the world. and her mother doesn’t question it, merely letting go and smiling at her with tear filled eyes.

“well, carmen, it’s nice to meet you.”

things aren’t perfect after that, of course. there are questions, so many of them that they stay up the entirety of the second night talking (not the first, carlotta insisted that she had to get some sleep). carlotta doesn’t seem fazed when she tells her about VILE and stealing from them, cries when she brings up her father, but they push through it because now they have each other.

it’s strange, then, the feeling she gets a month or so later. she’s lying on the couch after a few rounds of games with the orphanage kids, and she doesn’t feel... satisfied. she should, shouldn’t she? this is what she’s spent her life searching for. she left her team behind to focus on this, to give something to herself for once.

it’s maddening. she can’t figure it out, talking to player as she bounces a ball against the ceiling. her mom worries, asking her what’s wrong, but she can’t answer her because she doesn’t know.

another few weeks pass. she’s cleaning her tools, sorting through her red coat for some nostalgia. a slip of paper falls out, and written on it is the address to this house she’s living in, and-

“player- i never asked, and i’m not sure if you even know. who found the address?”

he hesitates. a beat, then— “your favourite ACME agent.”

oh. oh. jules. she hasn’t let herself think of her ever since she left them all behind, afraid of the memories of her brainwashed time being dredged up. julia probably hates her, and rightfully so.

but she’s buzzing. she feels like she’s onto something, like satisfaction is just out of her reach, and player is more than happy to check up on julia’s blog for her whereabouts. turns out she’s not in france but in england, visiting her mother, telling her blog audience that’s why she’ll be inactive for a while.

carmen laughs at the irony. player books her a flight.

fast forward and she’s halfway to julia’s mother’s place and in the middle of the sidewalk, she stops, suitcase rolling behind her. she probably shouldn’t be showing up randomly like this, no warning and dropping back into julia’s life when she doesn’t need it. julia’s had to have moved on by now, the girl in red just someone who was too afraid to meet up with her before she left.

“red, what’s up?” player asks her, staring at her unmoving icon on his screen. “you having second thoughts?”

“kind of, yeah,” she admits. “i’m just not sure if-”

there’s a tap on her shoulder. carmen turns around and feels her heart drop out of her chest.

julia argent stares back at her, arms crossed and looking exactly the same with her glasses and dressed in a casual tan coat, yellow sweater, and black jeans. she looked good, and, well, annoyed.

“hey, jules!” the greeting doesn’t come out as confident and suave as she hoped, but it suffices, and player speaks excitedly from his end. tell julia i said hi! he says, before cutting off.

“by the way, player says h—”

“ms. sandiego,” julia says stiffly, none of the playful flirting and easy tones that she’s gotten used to. “why are you here?”

“i thought you—” carmen stammers, reaching into her pocket and showing her the slip of paper. “you gave me this, and i wanted to thank you. also you know you can call me carmen.”

something in julia’s eyes softens at the sight of the paper, but then hardens again when she looks back at her. “you’re welcome. you didn’t have to come all this way to tell me, though. and calling you by a first name basis would imply that we’re friends, but it seems that we’re not, doesn’t it?”

carmen chokes a little, eyes widening. “we’re not- friends?”

“i would think a friend would at least say goodbye or get in contact with me any way before disappearing for months, so no, ms. sandiego, i don’t think we are.”

carmen’s first instinct is to feel offended, but she understands where the agent’s slight hostility towards her is coming from. this wasn’t just julia being petty, it was the consequences of her actions that she had to now make up for.

“jules, i’m sorry,” she says, going to grab her arm but drawing back at the last second. right. their subtle touches with each other were definitely off limits now. “we can talk about this in somewhere that’s not a public sidewalk, and i’ll explain everything, i promise.”

julia’s mouth twists into a frown, and she uncrosses her arms, one finger pushing up her glasses. she looks her square in the eye, her gaze cold and unflinching. “what is there to explain, exactly? how you left me- left us all so abruptly, and gave your closest family a note to remember you by? zack and ivy mentioned it to me- they’re being trained for ACME now, but i’m sure you knew that already.”

she didn’t. she hasn’t asked player for updates for a month. a heavy exhale escapes her, and she wishes she had player in her ear. julia lets out a humourless laugh at her lack of a response.

“i guess you found something better, ms. sandiego. i’m happy for you.”

the declaration is bitter- and with that, julia spins on her heel and walks away, heading to her mother’s house. carmen stands with her suitcase on the sidewalk, apologies on the tip of her tongue, wanting to chase after her. she swallows them down and drops onto the nearest bench, burying her face in her hands and tapping her earring so player can reconnect.

“red! how’d it go? what has julia been up to? is she-” player’s voice bursts through with questions, and carmen doesn’t say a word, a new mission in mind.

“do you know where julia is staying? not her mom’s place, i’m assuming.”

if player is surprised by the question, he doesn’t comment, and carmen can hear his keyboard clacking as he scans address books and properties. “she’s a couple blocks over, i’ll text you the address,” he says at last. carmen’s phone pings with the incoming text, but that’s not the actual thing she’s looking for.

“thanks, player. are there any houses up for sale near her street?”

“give me a second.” player pauses, scrolling through listings, and then continues. “there’s one like, diagonally across from her house, actually.”

“we have any funds left from our world saving?” she can tell player knows what she’s asking for now, from the telltale anxious drumming on his desk and the slower than usual clicking.

“a couple million, actually. i thought we were slowly distributing to-”

“i’ll make up for it, maybe nag some of the VILE stragglers and the remaining stolen artifacts and whatnot. can you set up a meeting with the house owner so we can wire the funds over?”

“this is a bad idea,” player cautions.

carmen grins. “and since when have i ever been known to have a good one?”

part two will be up as soon as i can get it written out! if you’re the anon that sent this, send me an ask about part two so i can answer it that way!

[thegreenxrcher]

For my own protection, anon asks are turned off for now + people I don’t follow cannot speak to me through messages. If I want to write with you – I will follow back! If I forgot to follow back, send me an ask~

ABOUT THE MUN:

SharFully, but you can call me Shar 😊

21 +

Full-time job so my time is limited during the week

I also have 2 pet birds, who will get my attention first and there are days he demands it more than other days

I have at least 10 years on me on RP'ing

Dutch is my mother language - not English, so I apologize for the mistakes I make, you may correct me as long as you do it without judging 😉

I have ADD - one of the things that affects me is my concentration span, sometimes I just can’t get things done.

I’m a shy bean and an awkward one! But when you get to know me I’m very easy going, just not easy for me to reach out to you at times, I do try to find the courage though, it’s just hard…

WHAT KIND OF BLOG:

Independent

Multi-verse

Multi-ship

Adult content

Multi para to (sometimes) novella

Mutuals only

Sadly, I’m slow in general

FOLLOWING, UNFOLLOWING & (SOFT)BLOCK:

If I follow you, that means I want to write with you!

If you follow me, I will check out your blog to see if I can work with you. I’m not a fan of people who don’t bother using capitals, periods, commas and apostrophes, when I only see one-liners, no active storylines going on, spammers of random stuff and no OOC drama

I will unfollow if you’ve been inactive for a month - if you return I don’t mind following back, I like to keep my following list clean.

I will unfollow when you unfollowed me first 

I will unfollow when you spam my dash, this is because I have a tendency to check my dash with new notifications (attention span of a goldfish) and if I have to do that every few seconds, I won’t get anything done. This is nothing personal

I will block you when I see you’re bullying someone, spread hate and/or post things with passive aggressive behavior

I WILL (SOFT)BLOCK you if I have the need to protect myself from whatever. I should not have to explain myself why I decided to do this, I just will...

Storylines that haven’t been replied to for 2 months will be archived. I will do my absolute best to do my replies as fast as I can and and not let them turn this old. 

ABOUT RP:

Long replies will mostly be done in the weekend, I will try to do them during the week as well, but after a long day of work it might be difficult for me to focus on them

I try not to have favorites, but I do - I think everyone does. That doesn’t mean I don’t want to write with you and that your reply isn’t coming. Sometimes my muse is stronger for someone else’s thread. Please don’t take it personally!

I will try to tag everything accordingly - I will not make tags for people unless they want their blog URL to be tagged! I’ll try not to forget!

Is our thread ending? I will tag it with 〘 the end 〙 - this doesn’t mean I don’t want to continue writing with you! Send me something new?😇

I will try to match your reply! But I’m sorry if it isn’t - I’m trying to improve my writing but lengthy stuff doesn’t always come easily to me

I’M OKAY WITH:

Sending me asks/memes

Tag me in stuff that is based on our threads or connected to our muses!

Original characters, as long as they are well build - with a good background and such, not just a name age and whatever, you know?😖

Violence, abuse, torture, smut (not without a storyline and building a relationship) and a lot of other things that are NSFW

Multiple storylines

Multiple threads, I don’t have a limit of threads for my partners

Cross-overs, I welcome them even! I try to make new verses & AU’s for Ollie and my other boys from time to time~

You reminding me that I owe you - just don’t force me, okay?

I’M NOT OKAY WITH:

One-liners - and I don’t mean some casual fun or something that grows into a bigger thread. I mean only one-liners.

OOC Drama / passive aggressive behavior in chat and on dash - I’ve been there and don’t want to go there again

What my muse does to your muse is totally separate from me and you - please don’t think I don’t like you, Oliver and especially Caligo can be a dick sometimes and that doesn’t mean that I don’t like you! It’s not personal 😊

PLEASE DON’T STEAL! I’ve made a lot of things myself and they are for no one else to use - I’ve put a lot of effort in my graphics and to make my blog look good

Please don’t push/force me to reply

Don’t push a ship on me, things need to evolve naturally

I’m not okay with incest… It makes me feel uncomfortable.

CoMC Chapter 108

CHAPTER 108

The Judge

24 minutes

Whoa! The reckoning is at hand for Locusta! 

First, we get Noirtier glaring bloody murder at the murderess and then at her so-far inactive husband. Villefort promises he’ll do it--just one more day. Locusta and her son (do we even know her actual name, btw?) are playing a disgustingly adorable little fetch game with kisses, but they’re both horrible people so whatever. 

Villefort pulls an all-nighter on the Benedetto case. He takes a little nap and wakes up. 

So he wakes up like TODAY’S THE DAY. Wifey dearest is all “I sent you some hot chocolate honey, because you’re so sweet ;) <3 <3”  and he’s all “this is probably poisoned.” But then he chugs it anyway because que sera sera at this point. Turns out it was not poisoned. 

Then she’s all “OK I’m ready to come with you to your big trial baby!! I wanna see it! Should I bring our son??” and he’s all “no look we need to talk.” He tries to get Edward out of the room--Edward’s innocently destroying the things his mother is reading--and Edward’s like “umm but mommy didn’t say, so I don’t gotta.” So Villefort YELLS at him and he goes “OK OK I’M GOING GEEZ” 

Now, I don’t usually use direct quotes because that’s tricky with an audiobook, and even when I happen upon them while I relisten at 2x speed to write these sometimes, I tend not to use them because I don’t want to set a precedent, hahaha. But this one has stuck in my mind since this morning when I heard it (like 12 hours ago), and would have even if he hadn’t repeated it 2 or 3 times. He asks his wife, “Where do you keep the poison you generally use?” Which is just so BRUTALLY casual. And she’s like “w-w-w-whaaaat??” And he’s like “you know, the poison you killed my entire family with. That poison.” 

So it’s out there. He recaps everyone she’s poisoned so far, she doesn’t deny it. She asks if she’s speaking to her husband or to the judge, and he’s like “TO THE JUDGE” (hence chapter title). 

So he gives her a choice. Find the poison she “generally uses,” and dead herself up before he gets home from court today. If not, she’ll swing on the scaffold. . He’d rather the poison so as not to bring dishonor on his house. Because obviously if yet another person gets poisoned in this household where 4 people have already died, everyone will just be like “tralala that’s fine.” 

And she’s actually expecting him to let her live!! After killing his beloved, innocent daughter and several other people! Just like she was expecting to somehow get away with this ridiculously unsubtle crime. It’s a shame she won’t live long enough to find two brain cells to rub together. 

(Probably got that idea from that post someone did with a table of people’s brain cell count vs perceived brain cell count in this book. Will definitely share that when I finish. I want to say I saw it on @edettethegreat‘s? But I try to avoid your blog until I’m done, haha. Especially since I went to one of your friends’ blogs and saw something about MC’s big reveal to Morrel before I actually got there. I didn’t read it! Just saw that there was a scene where he revealed his identity, which I pretty much knew there had to be. Luckily stopped before I saw more). 

So, got to admit I’m a little disappointed in Villefort’s actions here. Team Avenger was promised a REALLY HORRIBLE reckoning, the likes of which would MAKE YOUR HAIR CURL or something (he definitely never said that, but it was implied to be just appalling). And it turns out it’s… suicide or face legal punishment for your crimes? I mean yeah, that’s pretty much the default options, barring “get away with it.” 

Aaaanyway, prediction time I guess. What will be Locusta Villainfort’s choice? If her husband finds her alive when he returns home, she swings. Clearly poison’s the better choice, right? Uh-oh, he left a loophole. If he doesn’t find her home at all, she probably thinks she can survive this. She’s probably wrong, but w/ever. Ooooh, maybe she’ll go to THE GUY WHO GAVE HER THE POISON. That’d be interesting!! And what would he say? “Whaaaat? I gave you MEDICINE for your FAINTING SPELLS! I was NEVER expecting you to POISON people with it!”? 

Also, further predictions: Valentine’s got to wake up soon, right? Cuz like. She can’t just live with no heartbeat or breath or food in that vault for long, I presume. Pretty sure Juliet woke up like, the next day. I’m guessing she doesn’t… decompose, since she’s NOT DEAD, I’m still pretty solid on that. And I know the potion is basically handwavy magic-style science, so who knows what its properties are, but here’s what’s bothering me. It’s pretty assured that Morrel is supposed to be miserable for another solid month (to the hour) after his suicide attempt, which obviously means no Valentine. She presumably is going to walk in right as he starts to shoot himself or whatever the heck. I’m… not currently able to make the timing work out. Does he revive her (has he already) and then just… hide her for a month, for some reason? Is she off in Hayding? (get it? Hiding with Haydee? Did that work? Probably not. They are legit pronounced the same though, according to my audiobook)

Guess we’ll see! 

[sohelish]

confession/question time?

I’m kinda confused rp-wise lately.

I’m under a lot of stress irl as we all are now, so I don’t get to come on and write often. there’s no info-filter on these blogs and that’s the main problem. can’t tag/block everything... anyhow.

I had an overall good rp experience on this site but really only here have I ran into outright bad experiences in comparison to my previous rp platforms.

so I’m not quick to trust people at all these days.

I’m slow in general, I write a lot in bursts, log in rarely... one might say I’m casual. and yet I also feel like I fell out of rhythm here.

I see that again just as a few years ago, I think? there is a surge in: I don’t follow for follow and here’s where I’m confused because...

I do follow people just to follow... and read their stories? like I’m legit reading stuff... otherwise why would I even follow?

however a) I don’t even have the energy to interact sometimes; b) I like reading; c) I’ve lost the ability to actively rp with most canon characters because they generally stick to canon and hel kinda works better when she’s not confined by canon storylines if you know what I mean. but I still absolutely love the way some people portray their canon characters? the writing is great and all? and I enjoy reading? and it doesn’t mean I’ll never decide to approach if I do get appropriate ideas? it’s just harder for me personally to come up with ideas for canon characters ok?

but whenever I see all of these hints of: follow and interact or don’t bother following at all, I do end up not following at all actually.

lately, that has been the case. a lot. I wanted to freshen my dash because it’s very quiet, a lot of people are scarcely seen due to current events.

so I gotta ask if this is one of those fashionable themes that are recurring and I can actually follow people without any obligation to interact?

or are people legit thinking they can force me to interact this way? by guilt-tripping me in such a way as if I follow and not interact means I’m not reading/engaging in the content/it means I’m somehow putting this person down? because sometimes, depending on the wording it comes off as: you follow me, you owe me interaction... and that puts me off so much I can’t even describe... I hope people aren’t serious about this? or are they? or am I not serious enough about this and this is an issue?

not to mention... yeah I don’t have a lot of followers but even so, not everyone who follows me puts likes on every post I make... I don’t assume they didn’t read it though? and I don’t think I’m entitled to demand activity and likes? *shrug*

I might be missing something though. maybe it’s not as harsh as I think it is...

though I legit saw some people say like: you have a week/month after following to contact me. partly why I’m asking myself how obligatory is this. is this a: be active or gtfo situation? I’m gonna be moving soon, not sure I’ll have a lot of time commit on here either...

or am I the one being too inactive/casual? is it really more polite to actively interact in the span of the first few weeks?

because I’ll tell ya, I love sending people memes but people aren’t really as happy to receive them without knowing a person better. and that���s the thing!

depending on the other blog’s activity, it may take me a lot of time to get a person better to even approach them if ever... eck.

[maddiicake]

Why do you keep saying the fma fandom is dead when it obviously, obviously isn’t? It’s a very active fandom. Just because you aren’t active in it doesn’t mean other people aren’t

Excuse me... but what makes you think that I’m not active in the fandom...? >A>;; I never said I wasn’t. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. It’s the only Fandom I’m a part of, and I’ll ever be a part of.

Secondly, if anything, I obviously, obviously (to use your repeating of the word), state how I “made people leave the fandom” more often than saying that I simply “killed the fandom”.

At first I was in denial when it happened, only to realize it was the slow gradual turn of every single person leaving the FMA Fandom.

During the First week of February 2015, the outrage of Vic Mignonga being cast as the Engilsh DUB voice for RIn was still rampant, even though it had been months since the announcement. Many of the Tumblrina snowflakes and leftist extremists were pulling up their usual BS with him, and I would jump in and discredit their claims and call them dumb and other things. It got to the point where I was being called “Alt right” (which, honestly, is an oxymoron--not to mention impossible--, since I’m gay...) and told to “go kill [myself]” because of it. Despite these messages, I remained as civil as I could, through, through emotion driven rage, I made a dumb little post about having “haters” and tagged Novanoah and Mari-M-Rose in it.

Mari responded with this:

https://sinjas.co.vu/post/109858365104/sakura-araragi-mari-m-rose-novanoah-and-all-the

And, stated how she was “glad that people told [me] [to kill myself + other messages]” and, within the tags mentioning: “This is why I left the FMA Fandom.

At first, I didn’t think nothing of it; other than: “Pfft. Whatevs. Bye, Felicia” 

But, from that point on, I started to see more and more people leaving. Not just here on Tumblr, but everywhere else: Twitter, Instagram, DeviantART. The FMA Matriarchs (Nova, Mari, Cherry, and the others) were the ones who reigned over the fandom since they are (or, I guess, were in this case) the most popular ones that every single person in the fandom loved and adored--all the while treating those others beneath them like trash if they so dared to disagree with them and whatnot (just the general mindset of “I’m better than you, if you speak out against me, I’ll use my mob mentality to ruin your life.” Every single person since that post Mari made... I noticed everyone just leaving. 

Since then I began to realize: “Man, I really fucked up.”

I always a horrible person, and even though I’m currently going through therapy now, it’s not going to change what happened or fix anything. I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (which explains so much of my past episodes looking back on the “messes” I used to make). But, of course, that diagnoses came super late, and had it been just in time, I could’ve stopped all this from happening, and be friends with all those people in the fandom.

But, instead, I made it worse. And for the past five years, I’ve stayed in the FMA Fandom and only being active within that fandom. The majority of posts reblogged onto my blog are FMA-related, so, sorry, Anon~ I’m NOT inactive within the FMA Fandom~ ^u^

I’m certainly not active in any other fandom though. I’m not going to ruin someone else’s world they love and enjoy just because of my presence there. It’s best for everyone if I stay here and not meddle anywhere else.

Now, I know you (and anyone else who comes across this) are probably thinking: “Man, what an attention whore... whining about all this with this ‘woe is me!!1!one!1!’ tone.”

And, to that I respond with: “What the heck are you talking about?”

I mean, yeah, these words are written in text, and, when reading text, all we can do is interpret what we believe the writer to be feeling and the tone they’re using. But, more often that not... that in fact isn’t the tone the writer is using. I know, at a first glance, it sounds like I’m just pouring this out like some bitching and moaning sap sprawled out on a fainting couch; mascara running down my face while I sob uncontrollably and eating ice cream with a ladle straight from the container... -___- 

Quite the contrary. I’m actually very calm, and am simply explaining the situation--straight stoic face and all. After all, it’s been five years. After just two years I accepted everything and what I am; there’s no point in whining when I can just casually shrug and say: “Yeah. I made people leave the fandom. I’m a bitch. That’s just how it is.”

So, with that out of the way... Hopefully this answers your question, dear anon.
