Hiii! I noticed you hadn't posted in a year, I was wondering if everything is alright? Not to be rude or anything but I'm genuinely concerned if you're okay or not, thank you and I hope things get better!
Hello! Thank you for checking~
Yes I’m good! I just have been more active on other socials and forget to check tumblr a lot 😅mostly because I find it hard to navigate and find content I want to see ever since they updated
Plus I’ve been going through rollercoasters of hyper fixations lol, and I don’t want to bother all of you lovely folks with my whimsys 🤣 currently I’m obsessed with Dead Boy Detectives
How are all of you doing?? What are you guys into rn??
#I’ve also changed my username on other platforms too#do y’all have any advice on navigating tumblr now#I just feel like it isn’t as intuitive anymore#but maybe that’s just my neurodivergent brain

Hey, bro, this is.. weird to say but here we are. I really hope y’all are okay and doing well ⊂(´• ω •`⊂)
I was in the suggestion community at its peak, one real popular blog and one more midsize but I just wanted to thank you for your kindness and help and care and support. You and your blog really did help a lotta people. And it really helped keep me here and keep me going. I happened to see a post of yours and it brought back so much tenderness and I’m so.. glad and grateful for you. All of you.
I’m a lot better and in much safer situations and have much more caring people now who treat and love me how I deserve. And I’m a much better, safer, more loving person too. I’m still growing through things and there’s still stormy days, but I’m so happy to be here. It’s really nice to be able to tell you this, to think that you’d maybe be proud of me, and I’m proud of you too.
I dunno if you’re still here and if you’ll end up reading this, you don’t have to, but.. thank you. so so much. Thank you <3
Hey, little sib 💖
I promise we are still here!! I know that we post very infrequently, but we’re definitely still here! (Tbh we spend a lot less time on tumblr as a whole across all of our blogs. I’ll personally check MAYBE once or twice a week for 5-15 minutes at a time. We also run this blog as a DID system, and some alters have fused or gone dormant over time, and we haven’t been fully sure how to navigate that wrt posting).
I’m so glad that you’re doing better than before! I’m glad that you could find a better environment, and we’re all absolutely, incredibly proud of you for putting in the work to grow as a person.
I hope that I’m not reading what you’ve said wrong (if I have, ignore me lol), but if I’m right; Remember that it’s hard (if not nigh impossible) to keep yourself from developing unhealthy behaviors/patterns when you’re trying to survive in a toxic environment. Even if they aren’t useful to you anymore, you needed them to survive at the time, and that isn’t a moral failing on your part. Remember to be gentle to yourself, and don’t hold past mistakes against yourself.
Honestly, I don’t know if we’ve ever shared this on this blog before, but I (Mod Static) made this suggestion blog when I was in a really dark place in my life. I was maybe 15 or 16? And either very close to needing to be taken inpatient at a psychiatric unit, or barely out of my time being inpatient in the psych unit. Part of this blog was protectors and caretakers (Mod Bandage and Mod Sunflower, especially) leaving little messages that they thought I needed to hear. Another part of it was me trying to reassure myself that things would be okay, sort of a “fake it ‘til you make it” thing?
The suggestion community being so welcoming, open, and interactive really did save me tbh. It made me feel like I had a use in the world (NOT to say that you have to be useful or in any way justify your existence to others, but it’s a personal hangup that I feel this way). That people would notice if I disappeared. I met a lot of friends through the community; some of which I still touch base with on occasion, and others that turned out not to be such great company to keep. Either way, those friends kept me alive, too, even if it was just long enough to meet better people for me.
I guess that ramble is to say that as much as I’ve helped anyone, I don’t know how much you all realize how much you’ve helped me. All of your asks made me feel like I needed to be here, whether it was the ones asking for advice, or dropping by to say hello, or thank-yous, or sharing successes. I’ll always be incredibly grateful for that.
I love you, all of my little siblings out there. Thank you for letting me be your brother.
#mod static#not a suggestion#text heavy#Aaa sorry that I took so long to respond to this!! I have a lot going on and I’m also forgetful#but this ask meant a lot to me and I wanted to gush#also you absolutely were not weird don’t worry!! I honestly get happy whenever I get asks here#even if I am not the best at responding to all of them

Think we've had derealisation and depersonalisation basically 24/7 for years now. It's been so long and it's been so bad that we don't even know if we'll ever even recover. We think it might be trauma throughout the years, tied to possible cPTSD, but we've become so numb that it just feels like a lost cause.
We're also a possible median system and we don't know how to navigate any of this since we're in no place where we can get any help. Even if we had the chance, I don't think we'd take it just because it's so daunting to let our guard down like that.
Any words of advice or anything at all would be a major help. Sorry if this is a lot and that this is a mess of an ask
Hey anon, first off let me say that it’s definitely not a lost cause. It might be a cause that needs to be put on a back burner for safety or accessibility reasons, but it’s for sure not a lost one.
We can definitely relate, though. I experience derealization and depersonalization pretty much 24/7, and it sucks so much and I’m sorry you all have to experience that too. Ours is also tied to c-ptsd, as well as a couple other ongoing issues. At some point though like two? years ago, we were doing well in therapy and Cheese (host) was able to be present in his world almost always and it was so great for him. i promise that healing is something that can happen, even if not immediately. its completely worth it, and i hope you are able to get there soon. id try and tell you about some strategies cheese had learned but neither of us have those memories, sorry. again, i hope youre able to get to that place soon because i promise its possible to achieve <3
as for the system bit, weve been finding alot of good resources and strategies here on tumblr. were in the process of putting together an online “system journal”, because the body’s hands/wrists hurt often and can’t write a physical journal. I totally suggest looking into that, and just generally doing research. Reaching out to other median systems might also be helpful, since they might’ve gone through a similar questioning period. Just take your time with it, but I do think that looking for professional help is probably a step to look into for the future (however far away it is that y’all are comfortable doing that)
Sorry the typing pattern changed, Felix is co and honestly does most of any sort of advice thing I answer here. I hope this can at least help a little bit, and we hope things can get easier for you soon and that you can get the help you all need <3
#not disassociation culture is#not dissociation culture is#advice#derealization#depersonalization#median system#i love you anon you deserve to be safe <3#(/p)

“But I’m don’t want to ask my pharmacist, I’m asking YOU,” sure is a thing someone just said to me in my Twitter DMs, and I’m about to nip this in the bud real quick because No. Unacceptable.
I am not a qualified medical resource. I’m not a physcian, I’m not a pharmacist, I’m not even fucking WebMD though sometimes people seem to think I am and just throw random symptoms into my inbox then ask me what is wrong with them. (Also while I’ve got y’all attention, please stop doing that.)
What I am, is an extremely sick person who has learned a lot over the last few years, and I am happy to share those things on the off chance it might help someone. Especially if it’s something that ought to be common knowledge but seemingly isn’t. Things like say, how you can actually die from a vit B deficiency, certain meds interact with XYZ, and drinking essential oils can result in renal failure, so please stop telling people to do that.
But you will note that 99.99999% of the time, my advice always comes with the important note: I am not a qualified medical person, and you should check with your doctor(s)/pharmacists before doing XYZ. I have lots of holistic qualifications! But that in no way means I am qualified to either diagnose or provide comprehensive care for complex medical conditions! I can offer advice on which doctors you should maybe see, offer sympathy and moral support, and can also talk in-depth about my own health conditions and how I navigate them, but that’s where my capabilities end.
And that 0.0000001% of the time I don’t slap that on a post? Is usually because I’m overtired and I’ve been saying the same thing over and over again multiple times in the span of a single day and would hope that the message has sunk in by now, that you should always check with a professional before starting or stopping any new medications. And that does not include a random person on Tumblr, because no matter how knowledgable they are, they do not know you and your personal circumstances, and are incapable of making such an important and vital decision regarding your wellbeing.
Look, I get it, it might be easier to message me than ask your pharmacist because I come across as friendly and the pharmacist is a terrifying unknown entity you only have to deal with when you get your prescriptions filled, but I promise you, they want to help. They would rather you came up to the counter and asked them questions about your meds and possible interactions than you risk harming yourself unwittingly. They’re not gonna be mad. They might be busy and ask you to wait, but they’re not gonna yell at you. You’re not bothering them. And your safety is more important.
So I’m sorry if this is hard for your social anxiety, but I promise you, it will be okay. Talk to the pharmacist or your doctor. And don’t get all your medical advice from people online. That’s how mistakes and misinformation spread, and you wind up with people drinking colloidal silver as a cure all for ghosts in your veins and wondering why their skin turns irreversibly blue.
I will share my resources wherever I can, and I cannot control what you do with that information, but please, I’m begging you, take better care of yourselves. And if you do take one solid piece of advice away from my blog and treat it as gospel, please let it be that you are worth advocating for, and you are braver and more capable of doing so than you realize.

Any advice for someone who wishes to start up a blog like yours?
So I definitely fumbled my way through this whole thing (my blog not the answer lol) so take it how you will and hopefully something sticks? 💕
If you’re going to be writing requests, make sure you have your rules sorted. What characters/fandoms do you write for, what won’t you write and general stuff like that. You’ll still get requests that blatantly ignore those rules, but it should stop most people from sending stuff you don’t want to write
Also what style of writing are you going to be posting - full fics, drabbles, headcanons or a mix of the three? Full fics will always take longer and be more demanding so you’ll probably be posting less, but if you’re doing shorter ficlets and headcanons then they’re a great way to bang out content without taking as much time - but regardless, write what you want to write
Try and be consistent with posting (and writing in general). I am a bit of a hypocrite with this as y’all know by now that we have long since abandoned a weekly schedule - fics get posted when they’re done, but especially when you’re starting, it’s good to either have a rough schedule of what’s coming or selected posting days/times
Create a masterlist early - even if it’s just for one or two pieces and add to it as you go so people can find more of your stuff easily
On that note - having a navigation post pinned or in your bio to your rules, masterlist and things like that will only make your life and everybody else’s life easier haha
Write every day - even if it’s just a few sentences
For gods sake please chose a theme that makes your writing easy to read. The amount of times I’ve given up trying to read content on somebody’s blog because their stupid theme has made it almost impossible is ridiculous
Tag shit. I mean both content warning in the actual body of the post so nobody stumbles onto content they don’t want to see and actual tags themselves. Tumblrs tagging system is awful, I generally go with the idea that only the first five tags will actually be tracked - so when I post a fic the pairings and characters and fandom are always the first tags I use - the rest are more for navigation on my blog and tw’s. Also if you tag stuff with ‘nsfw’ it won’t appear either so be creative with how you want to tag that. But if you don’t know anybody in the fandom or whatever - tags are gonna be how people find you
Requests are great and an excellent way of building up a following, but again at the end of the day, it’s your blog - write what you want to write and remember that you don’t owe anybody anything 😊
The most important thing (I think) is not to get discouraged. If you don’t have mutuals in the fandoms you’re in - I didn’t when I started this blog - it’s hard not to feel like shit when the first few posts get five likes and that’s it. No matter what ‘stage’ you’re at or how popular you become - the likes and reblogs are not an indication of how good you are as a writer. I’m also aware that on tumblr it’s really the only measure you have, but don’t let those numbers affect you too much - it takes time to build up a following and if you focus on the stats too much writing will feel like a chore instead of something you (hopefully) love
Don’t compare yourself to other writers in the same space - it’s only ever going to make you feel shitty and worthless
It doesn’t hurt to reach out to other writers in the same fandoms/spaces as yours - most are super lovely as long as you go in without demanding stuff
I can’t think of anything else, but hopefully some of that helps?
Good luck, bby!

ClexaCon: Day 1
Okay, Let me attempt to do something like organize my thoughts here. Photos will come later, ones that come at all; mostly there are professional photos, videos, and gifs available of the noteworthy moments, and I intend to reblog a lot of those later. In the meantime, my photos are on my phone, and the Tumblr app is eating anything I attempt to post with photos.
So. I’m going to try to do this chronologically because it’s how I tried to organize my brain, and I feel clearer than I have in a while. Panel titles or events in bold. Fandom and personal stuff is included, multishipping probably rampant because I just want my faves happy, alright???
Under the cut because long. Day 1 only because long, and because by time I got near the end of typing this, it was after midnight and I was getting less coherent.
Exploring Gender through Cosplay
As often as I cosplay, mine are fairly casual, and I’d never actually gotten a good chance to attend a cosplay panel of any sort with a clear mind. This was pretty awesome, all the different things you can do to change not only the costume but also your appearance, really make the cosplay work. A lot of the sentiment/message besides the practical application stuff was just “have fun, don’t be an ass, think about the character.” All good advice.
One of the panelists was visibly uncomfortable with his cosplay during the panel. It was understandable, but he looked great anyway and still gave great information and asides and personal experiences, and I’d love to see him do a panel where he’s more comfortable.
One Day at a Time
Okay, so one of the things I LOVE about this con and haven’t seen at the couple others I’ve been to is the intro videos. For each of the big panels, they’ve played a video beforehand, about the pairing or the character. If you’re rusty on the details, it’s a great refresher, and if you love the character or pairing, it’s just fantastic to watch. I believe they included these and the actress reactions in the official videos they’ve been posting. They’re great, super shippy, and I’ve teared up or cried at more than one.
ODAAT is one of the ones that made me teary, because it touched on Elena and her Papi and then how happy she and Syd are and just...
Emotions, y’all. I’ve got them.
Anyway, it was great. Isabella seemed pretty comfortable speaking, very aware of her presence and her platform. Sheridan was a little more like Syd, a little awkward and a lot geeky (like most of my favorite people, let’s be real). My takeaways from this panel were basically just that they both love Schnider and working with his actor, and that I ship Syd and Elena even harder now.
An executive producer got a call during the panel, and Isabella thought maybe it was about being picked up by a different network, but it ended up being Rita Moreno calling in, which was fantastic except how disappointed Isabella was. Not that she was unprofessional or pouty or anything, just there were a few moments of almost being able to FEEL how much this cast wants the show to keep going, and how much they love each other.
Avalance
Omg. I mean, okay, if you’re following me, you should probably go watch both Avalance and Nyssara panel videos. They’ll do a much better job of relaying anything factual than I will, so I’m mostly focusing on my reactions.
My reactions started with that damned intro vid, because holy hell, Sara and Ava are hot, and have awesome chemistry, and they’re both smart and strong and amazing and I am so, so, so not straight.
Uh. Where was I.
Highlights for me, in no particular order.
Okay, usually celebs look like people in real life, like real people or like their characters. Caity Lotz is MORE attractive in person than she is on tv. HOW THE FUCK IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE
Jes is kinda amazing as a person and actress and I intend to watch everything she’s in after this weekend. She cares deeply, which I know she shares with Ava, but unlike Ava who hides behind the professional shield, Jes just seemed so warm and real and disbelieving of how much people like her. She was having a very emotional day because she’d lost someone she cared about, and when she shared that, I doubt there was a dry eye in the room. The depth of her feeling was almost palpable.
Jes kept reaching out and touching Caity, who was much more physically reserved just in general. Caity is very obviously more familiar with the con circuit, which doesn’t mean she doesn’t care or anything! Just, how many of these could any living person do while still caring deeply and genuinely about every person they talk to? I suspect people have to distance themselves some eventually. Caity wasn’t cold, just more reserved.
Katrina interrupting was the best thing ever. It’s been giffed already. Go find it.
I loved hearing about the tango, about navigating a situation where there are two women who naturally want to take the lead. The lines blurred between where they were talking about themselves as actresses navigating a scene and their characters as people navigating a relationship, and it felt very real and lovely. Hilarious, too, because of course everyone in the Arrowverse (excuse me, Beeboverse) is gorgeous AND smart AND funny.
I’m glad they’re not really broken up I guess? The actresses seemed a little unsure because they filmed a lot of different takes with some differing implications, but they’re not on board with the “on again, off again” thing any more than I am, which is good. On is good.
End of the panel, people sitting behind us (oh! chronological order! I made a friend waiting in line for the ODAAT panel and we’ve mostly stuck together this weekend. She’s not LGBT and hasn’t watched any of the shows but she loves PEOPLE and is trying to learn and has had a lot of cool life experiences. Anyway. If I say “we” or “us” I probably mean me and friend, unless otherwise specified.)
Uh. Right. So. The people sitting behind us were like, “Hey, do you two want tickets to Cocktails for Change?” At first I thought she was trying to sell them, and I already knew I couldn’t afford that, just like I couldn’t afford the Caity/Jes/Katrina photo op I wanted (not complaint, just statement of fact! I got to go and I got to buy the photo op with Caity and I got a hotel room for a couple nights). Then she clarifies that she and her person (I’m gonna go with that when relationship isn’t clear. But oh, the number of happy wlw couples there was just amazing, and at some point I defaulted to assuming anyone there together was together, which wasn’t accurate, but it’s what I was seeing and delighting in and WE NEED MORE REPRESENTATION and omg keep a single train of thought, Kita). The two of them had bought two extra tickets they couldn’t use, couldn’t refund, and hadn’t been able to sell, so they were offering them to us so that somebody would enjoy them.
OMG. Like, who does that? What level of awesomeness to gift two separate $250 tickets to complete strangers??
I helped friend navigate the transfer process and helped her create an eventbrite account, and then we had the tickets, at which point I actually believe it was happening. And then AND THEN
Because clearly that wasn’t enough
they said “oh, we can’t make the trio photo op today, do you want it?”
Do
Do I
DO I
I still can’t believe they were for real, with that level of awesome. I checked like probably way too many times to make sure they were SURE because
yeah. Made my entire year, at minimum.
Photo Ops
Got the photo op with Caity first. I’ll do pics separately after I scan them; they’re particularly glossy or something and my cell phone is doing a horrible job. So I go in dressed in my femme Snart cosplay, have enough presence of mind to ask (or point? I may have only managed pointing) to stand on her right side because I wanted to be able to hold the cold gun in my right hand.
“Hey, Cold,” she said to me.
HEY COLD
SHE RECOGNIZED WHO I WAS DRESSED AS OMGGGGGG
and did I mention fucking gorgeous beyond belief and amazing to boot?
Anyway. She’s also smiling much bigger in my pic with just her than in the next one, when I didn’t have my gun, and I like to think it’s because she still thinks fondly of snart. Captain canary 4eva. Another thing on Saturday I’ll get to in my next post, equally small but equally “omg yessss she still ships it” to my mildly obsessed brain.
Obviously, after they took the pic, I walked blindly in the wrong direction and would’ve walked smack into the makeshift wall if the volunteers hadn’t steered me in the right direction. I don’t usually get star struck, but if it was going to happen, it was going to be with Caity Lotz, so it wasn’t actually a surprise.
Round two, trio photo, and I ended up between Caity and Katrina, who draped herself on my shoulder as she often does for pics. I’ll get to Katrina more for Day 2, but she just seemed very at ease, maybe the most comfortable person in any given room.
After photo ops I practically ran back to my car while still trying to recover, checked into and got settled into my hotel room, changed shoes (omg, as good as those boots are for a couple hours, after ten hours and two miles and lots of standing, my feet STILL hurt day+ later), and then headed back to the venue.
Cocktails for Change
So this was cool just to exist in a room with the celebrities (the theory behind the event and the price tag being you get to interact). We (friend and the people who gave us the tickets and a 5th potential friend we picked up while waiting in line) got to talk to an actress from Wynona (which I apparently badly need to watch. my to-watch list doubled this weekend), and then friend got Jes to agree to come over. That made me love Jes even more because her handlers kept trying to get her to go a different direction after she talked to one table for like half of the time, and Jes pointed at our table, strong and confident and I AM DOING THIS BECAUSE I SAID I WOULD.
I mean, idk what she actually said, but that was her not-subtle body language.
It had to be terribly frustrating for the handlers, who, even though they only got her to three tables total, did a better job with her than they did with most of the celebs. However, I wanted to applaud Jes.
Most of the celebs kept to themselves, or to their partners. Dot was like 5 feet from me for a good 20 minutes, and my inner gleek was ecstatic. Amber Benson was only a few feet farther for about the same amount of time. For her, I actually tried to go say hi, but she was absorbed in conversation with someone else and I didn’t want to interrupt. We made eye contact, though, so that was cool. Katrina, meanwhile, kinda starting circling and then was just like “Nah,” and she went and sprawled on a chair at the side of the room, again the most comfortable looking person there, and just let everyone come to her. Which, honestly, probably would be my recommendation if they change things for this event next year. Clearly, steering the talent to different tables isn’t working, so maybe steer the attendees instead.
Still, it was awesome, and I went back to my room and freaked out about OMG HOW IS MY LIFE THIS AWESOME before crashing hard.
Which I’m gonna do again now. Day 2 post tomorrowish.

Hey Jack! Hope your day is going well! I was wondering if you could give us an opinion? That would be great! Thanks!
hi there @redmourhq! i’m happy to give you an opinion. you specified public as being okay, but let me know if you want me to take it down at any time.
NOTE: all opinions expressed here are mine, jack’s, belonging to jack. i make no claims to knowing what is best for every group – i only offer advice based on my experiences, what i’ve seen in the community, and my personal knowledge. no one person knows what is best for you or any group other than yourself; because you were the one who put all of this together in the first place. so take everything i say as a suggestion, and remember that you have accomplished so much!!
and if you have any questions, want feedback on something specific, or want elaborations on anything said in this opinion, don’t hesitate to message me!!
start: 1.12 | pause: none | end: 1.30TOTAL: 18 minutes to read all pages; not including character bios, supernatural lore
So on first glance at the main, while personally I’m not a big fan of contained themes (something I say in a lot of my opinions but seriously, it’s the choice of the admins) you guys have definitely utilized the space and what you’re given to the best ability. Personally I’m not sure having to scroll for long asks works well with your page but if you haven’t had any problems with it so far I don’t see a problem with it in the long run. Your color palette is really interesting -- like that lighter tone but with the muted psd that ends up washing out the color tones? Normally for a supernatural rpg I’d say something darker might be what you want to go for but in this case it actually works?? When you look at the encompassing plot to take the color scheme in, I mean. I also like that you have the admin names and timezones listed at the bottom, though it took me a minute to realize they’re hovers.
The one suggestion I’d make is your main links don’t have a hover to tell you what they are: if you know how to add that I’d suggest you do so, just to make it easier for people. [ In the code, go to where your links on the main page are, should be something like: (symbol code), all you have to do is put this in: title=”ASKBOX”>(symbol code) and you’re good! If you choose to pursue this let me know and I’d be happy to help. ]
For your Collapsible Sidebar: I think it’s a great idea and I don’t know if it came with the code or if you guys manually put it in, but it really works in providing more information for people like me who aren’t too fond of the minimalist structure of contained main themes. One thing: “truly” is misspelled as “truely.” Like with the ask portion I don’t think having enough content to make it need a scroll is a good idea, simply because of the space it takes up? You don’t end up needing to scroll to see anything hidden but it does have a small scroll bar that sort of makes things uneven. Maybe cut a line of text? I like all the links your provide as well, because they’re informative, clean, and give a potential member what they would need.
So in looking at your Plot page is when I noticed the contrast between the text color and the background color on the posts is kind of similar -- it might be harder to see for people with selective color blindness or who have worse eyesight than I do, and I have four eyes already. Maybe consider making one lighter or the other darker? Just to emphasize the difference between them for accessibility sakes. The content however is good and summarizes everything well while also giving that sort of “previously on…” vibe needed for rpgs like yours with a bit of background knowledge needed in order to engage a character fully in the group.
Your Rules are good and cover all the bases I look for in an rpg, however there are a few things I had questions about/wanted to bring to your attention. For one thing, your first point about “all adult content being under a read more” sort of contradicts/confuses itself with a later point about “all smut/nsfw content must happen on a different server and not on the dash.” Do you see what I mean? Because reading the first point makes me think I, as a potential member, can write smut so long as it’s under a read more, and then you tell me I have to write it somewhere else. Maybe find a way to put those two points together and say “yes, smut needs to be on a different server, but when you post it please use a read more.” Also, “NSFW” is a tag now flagged by tumblr’s updated content policy, so you shouldn’t ask your members to use it lest their blogs be flagged; “smut” is the current workaround used by other rpgs including my own. Your members will understand.
Your informational pages (Districts, Species, Founders, etc) I’ll compile into one paragraph because I don’t want to waste your opinion on things that you created and I really don’t have a place to judge. I will say that because of the large amount of content on your Locations page you might want to consider condensing it or finding a page theme that suits your needs? There was just a lot of scrolling and I ended up getting lost after a while. Also, you might have Funeral Home listed twice?? You definitely do but I couldn’t tell if they were different locations. For your Founders page look at the theme you use and see how it looks outside of the text box; because it does look a little disjointed. Separating them with line breaks like
might help, but otherwise maybe change up the stylizations you use to show they are different contents.
Your formal Character Page is probably the best I’ve seen out of all uses of that theme -- including my own. The fact that you guys have painstakingly taken the time to crop and design each unique person’s image with the same background and fit them to the psd coloring you use is, honestly, it’s like a designer’s wet dream to be honest and I love it. While the dozen or so filter categories ends up being “a lot” after a while I can understand why you wanted to do it and what you’re trying to achieve with them. Just so you know, under the Halfling section you have a character listed as a “Half Elf” but she doesn’t appear on the “All” section of the halflings. Might be an error but I wanted to point it out.
Your Applications (Wanted included) and forms in general are well formatted and easy to navigate and understand. I like that you included a sample application at the bottom! Is there a reason the only different applications are for the Ghosts and Demons but not the other species? If so, ignore that question! I trust y’all to know what you need for your group.
My FAVORITE THING about this rpg: the completion of your concept. You guys knew you’d have a lot to include and work on in what you were thinking and there’s honestly nothing that I’m not given that leaves me thinking “I need more information on this.” Or at least nothing that I don’t feel like I can reach out to the admins about, you know? So well done on taking your idea and bringing everything needed for it to the table.
My LEAST FAVORITE THING about this rpg: your spelling and grammar errors. I debated finding everything I could catch and including it but it ended up being more of a chore on my part than anything. There are many places where things are misspelled, the incorrect tense is used, the it’s vs its rule isn’t followed, and other grammar choices aren’t followed correctly. This totally happens! Nobody's perfect. But I had grammar hammered into me so I notice it more than most. My recommendation is just go through each of your pages and either put them through a check like the one provided on Microsoft Word or find another way to go through your content with a spell/grammar checker. It does a world of good for professionalism and just looking like a more well-run rpg.
OVERALL I’m a fan of your group! I like the fresh take on the supernatural-people-living-in-a-town concept and the way you change up the genre in your own way. You’re complete, like I said earlier, but there are just a few extra steps that can be taken to turn this good rpg into a great one.
Sincerely,Jack
