CELIA FACILIER

mbti: estp, the entrepreneur
background: she’s the younger half-sister of freddie and uma, who are twins. her mother is instead just a common thief, though she doesn’t have many memories of her, as she died when celia was young. growing up, life was better for her than a lot on the isle, as her father genuinely loves her, and freddie and uma all look after her. she helps run the family business, which sometimes mean getting involved with gang drama. her father runs the gang he called “the other side” which is really just his and hades’ partnership, but he’s trying. this also means being hades’ errand runner. she doesn’t get why hadie can’t do it.

affiliation: witches guild, the other side, the lost revenge
weapons & fighting style: doesn’t really get into fights, but if she can’t use her shadows, she’ll use knives
miscellaneous:
- she prefers to run the fortune telling bit of the business
- tries to replicate what freddie does a lot, since she looks up to her
- despite being younger, she makes deals even better than freddie, though both sisters shouldn’t be underestimated
- her clothes always have a celestial theme to them, but sometimes dizzy begs to give her a makeover because the patterns don’t match at all. she refuses each time.
- she attends the witch school
- she has a pet rat, which she picked up from an alley. freddie wants to get rid of it, and uma thinks she’ll get sick.

thinking abt how trans men, transmascs or anyone else in the queer community with a masculine identity are always targeted and made fun of by cis people or other queer people. We are always stereotyped to be the “soft he/they trans boy who likes cavetown with that one picrew as their pfp and is super cringe and awkward (with a dash of ableism towards autistic trans men/mascs)” or all the other stereotypes out there. I never see trans women/transfemmes/feminine queer people get made fun of this way because they know ppl with call them out for it. People don’t call it out with trans men/mascs or other masculine queer people because it’s ok to be transphobic towards us because we’re just big scary privileged men to them. We cannot be opressed in their eyes so it’s okay to make fun of us and stereotype us
#transandrophobia#anti transmasculinity#it’s also common to see ppl mocking anyone under the non binary umbrella but that honestly deserves a separate post#it’s even worse when trans men/mascs do it because they think they are one of the good ones#i hope this makes sense bc I mainly see it on tiktok and sometimes twitter

MATCH UPS ARE BACK
THE WALKING DEAD
STATUS: CLOSED
i’m opening match ups back up for all twd characters!!!! so anyone who hasn’t gotten one can get a chance if they’d like!!! (i won’t write another for someone who’s already received one.)
so you could always go back and look at my original post (here) for this but i’m making a new one, just because i have some new stuff i’m adding.
REQUIREMENTS: for a match up i ask that you are following my blog!! also i WILL NOT be writing for anons, im sorry!!!
WHAT TO EXPECT: so i’ll be adding a bit more this time!! you will get your twd match, the usual 3-4 headcanons and a small drabble that also comes with a banner to fit the vibe, but i’ll also go a little more in depth. i’ll tell you how i think you would’ve met your match as well as a runner up and random facts about your relationship.
WHAT TO SEND: PLEASE SPECIFY WHAT GENDER MATCH UP YOURE LOOKING FOR! i do ask that you try to be super super descriptive on your personality AT LEAST, i really need stuff to work with. tell me your physical description (things like your eyes or hair, anything you want focused on in the drabble. you can send photo refs if you’re comfortable, picrews, art, wtv).
you can send your personality types or zodiac signs, your favorite things, your love language, literally anything that defines you as a person i can work with. if you give me short and undetailed descriptions, it wont be easy for me to match you with someone and it may be inaccurate and will take longer for me to write.
NOTICE!!!: i will not be writing any smut for these match ups, everything will be safe for work. i won’t write for anons because i don’t reply to asks regarding match ups, i feel weird putting people’s information out there. if you send me a reference photo, it won’t be posted as every time i write a match up, after it’s completed and posted, i delete the ask from my inbox.
go ham but not too ham cuz i’ll cry. they won’t be posted one by one i hope, instead it’ll be all written and then i’ll post them over the course of a certain amount of time, probably a week. ok i love you bye!!!

Tag Game!!
I thought it'd be fun to make a tag game for everyone, so here's my version!!
alongside this picrew, and 2 pictures you think describes you, answer some questions about yourself.
What’s something you’re really passionate about, and how did you discover it?
What’s your favorite way to spend a weekend or free time?
What’s a piece of advice or a quote that has stuck with you over the years?
What’s your go-to comfort food or drink when you’re feeling down? (Bonus points if you can give a recipe)
What’s the most meaningful gift you’ve ever given or received
Bonus: What’s a random fun fact about yourself that most people don’t know?
i'll go first
I'm Alyssa!
What’s something you’re really passionate about, and how did you discover it?
Mythology! I've been super into mythology in general since I was in middle school, and i can just talk about it for hours. I first discovered it when my friend forced me to read Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series, and it spiraled from there.
What’s your favorite way to spend a weekend or free time?
Most of the time I have to take extra classes during weekends, but other than that I read whenever I can! Be it a physical copy, a pdf or even fanfiction I spend most of my time reading. But when I can find some time for myself I either write or make bracelets. Sometimes I work on my ocs' lore with my friend, so it really depends on how busy I am at that moment.
What’s a piece of advice or a quote that has stuck with you over the years?
My mom once told me "If someone isn't willing to value you or your efforts, don't waste your time on them. Don't give your all to people who won't do the same." And while it sounds mean at first, it's actually helped me over the years.
What’s your go-to comfort food or drink when you’re feeling down? (Bonus points if you can give a recipe)
Sütlaç has been one of my top comfort foods for years now. It's a Turkish dessert made with rice, milk and sugar (and cinnamon, honey or nuts if i'm feeling fancy) Though sometimes i make cookies instead!
What’s the most meaningful gift you’ve ever given or received?
I made over 300 paper stars in a sitting for my friend, each star representing a day i'd have known her on her birthday. I chose paper stars because they meant a lot to her. I also got her a (plastic) rose because she told me she thought she'd never get flowers from anyone.
Bonus: What’s a random fun fact about yourself that most people don’t know?
I used to be afraid of dogs when I was younger. The reason was because my granddad had a little dog that loved running around. Whenever we went to visit my grandparents the little thing would chase me around the garden until one of us dropped because of exhaustion. I think this was my first childhood trauma.
Tagging (no pressure!) : @romaritimeharbor , @kopivie , @ruruumin , @strxnged , @femivi +
@mlkbwunnies , @aureusveill , @milk-violet , @camvrin , @strryskys + anyone who would like to join!
#tag game!#this was so fun hehe#im gonna be reading everyone's answers so carefully#dividers by strangergraphics

My mc for “Children of Cain”
Name: Enrique Augustus Guerrero
Nickname: Ricky
Pronouns: He/him
Major: music
Height: very tall
Orientation: Gay
Romancing: Wilhelm
Extracurriculars: Guitar, Voice lessons, Swimming, Computer Programming, Debate Society
Languages spoken: Latin, Dutch, French, Italian, Mandarin, Spanish
Fatal flaw: Personal loyalty
His highest personality stats are friendly, genuine, and laidback
For music the one he plays the most is guitar
Ricky went to the dinner but a part of him wanted to go to the party so bad
The person he’s spent the most time with so far is Maxwell but once Ricky meets Wilhelm then he’s ditching Maxwell as fast as possible
He’s supportive of his dad dating again. He just wants him to be happy
Bro is surprisingly chill about a lot of things. He didn’t get mad at Vance really he just wants him to make sure that something like that doesn’t happen again
He’s very willing to be friends with cédric but he sometimes can’t help teasing him or competing with him
He thinks dumitru is pretty cool from what he’s seen and wants to get to know him some more
Im so excited to see Wilhelm. I fell in love with him from all the snippets on the blog. Doesn’t help that I’m weak for friends to lovers and blondes. Also the nickname of “Elmo” for Wilhelm in the snippets make me so fucking weak it’s unfair
I could so clearly see Ricky accidentally sibling zone Wilhelm as children and when he realizes his feelings now that they’re older he’ll just go “fuck”
Ricky’s in game aesthetic is punk but I felt drawn to these outfit choices when making him in the picrews
Oh yeah I saw that love triangle au teaser and I’m saying sorry to cédric right now. you don’t have a chance my guy
I played some other games made by this author and it’s so easy to get hooked into the stories by the author. He is probably one of my favorite IF authors. I love going back and rereading character snippets on the blog because each one is so interesting and usually I’m the type to only stick to a route related to my main RO but the writing for this game has me going back and replaying other routes and checking different dialogue options. I’m super excited for future chapters and can’t wait to see more of the story
Edit because I realized like a week later I forgot to tag @childrenofcain-if 🫠. I do not know how I forgot
The picrews I used for Ricky

Pretending (1/2)
Heck it, another one of those "I can't sleep until I post it" type of nights.
This is technically a part two to Lonely/Game, though that really just sets up the characters and their dynamic. I decided to be super self-indulgent with the full story and mix it with another of my beloved g/t tropes, "human thinks the borrower is a shrunken human". I really like the result and I hope you do too.
Bonus picrews of the characters too, because I made them and have nowhere else to share them. Left is Silver (they/them, human) and right is Maple (she/her, borrower)
Word Count: 2.5k
======
(See below the read more for the actual story, I think this intro is getting too long as-is)
Maple watched from the shadows as her house’s human prepared food, keeping an eye out for anything she could potentially borrow later. It had been a few days since she had accidentally spoken to the human, and she was more careful than usual to keep her distance. As the borrower watched Silver, she took note of some crumbs and foodstuff left on the counter, which would be perfect for borrowing later. Luckily, Silver wasn’t the tidiest human, and would often leave such messes around their apartment. Maple liked to think that she was helping in a small way by cleaning up the mess.
Silver walked out of the kitchen, bowl of food in hand, and Maple quickly made her way onto the counter to try and grab what she could. After getting her food, Maple quickly snuck her way into the living room, sitting off to the side of the couch, just out of Silver’s view. As Maple watched the show Silver had put on, she thought to herself that it was almost like they were sharing a meal… in a sense.
“Shit”, said Silver suddenly as they bent over, clearly meaning to pick something up off of the floor, probably a piece of food that they dropped. As they bent down, Maple quickly went to run away, hoping she wouldn’t be seen by the human, but wasn’t quite fast enough as she heard Silver’s voice.
“What the… fuck.”
—
No, Silver thought to themself. My eyes are playing tricks on me. They tried to rationalize, there was no way that they just saw some kind of tiny woman running under the couch. It was… probably a mouse or something. A weird looking mouse, for sure.
… No, it wasn’t a mouse.
They got on the floor, and started to kneel down to peek under the couch.
“Uh… hello?” Silver said, a bewildered tone in their voice as they looked for the tiny woman they swore that they saw.
“I’m not, like, mad or anything? Are you okay? I definitely saw you…” Silver said, trying to stay calm.
Their heart almost skipped a beat as they saw a tiny head poke out from behind the leg of the couch. She was real, they thought to themself.
—
Maple knew she was screwed. Silver had definitely seen her. As the human called out, Maple knew she had two options. She could either try to run, or reveal herself.
Taking a deep breath, she peeked around the couch leg, and froze as she saw Silver’s eye staring right at her.
“H-hi, Silver…” she squeaked out. Of all the ways she had imagined revealing herself to the human, this was not one of them, her hiding under the couch and Silver laying on the floor peering at her with a look of confusion on their face.
She saw Silver furrow their brow as they spoke again. “Uh… hi. Have we, uh, met before?”
Maple was confused and went to say something before she was interrupted by Silver.
“Wait, nevermind, that doesn’t matter. Are you okay? How did you, uh, get so small?”
Now Maple was really confused.
“... What?” the borrower cautiously asked.
“You know, how did you get so, uh… like, I don’t know, dude, you’re a few inches tall, how does that even happen?”
Maple suddenly had a moment of realization. Silver thinks I’m a human. If they thought she was a human… would it really be breaking borrower code to reveal herself?
“I… uh… d-don’t… remember…” stuttered out the borrower.
“Huh… so your memories got wiped or something? Weird. Um… okay, I guess that may as well happen. Uh… okay, think, Silver…” they said as they squeezed their eyes tightly, before opening them again. “Do you remember anything? Your name?”
“... Maple.” replied Maple.
“Okay, hi Maple. That’s a lovely name.” Silver said.
“Thank you.” Maple replied, before an awkward silence grew between them.
“Uh… it’d be easier to think if I wasn’t lying on the floor.” they said.
“R-right, sorry, I guess I should, um… come out…” Maple said, as she fully revealed herself, and began walking towards Silver, though every part of her said this was wrong.
Silver sat up on the floor as Maple walked out from under the couch. She felt beyond nervous, this was by far the closest she had ever come to Silver before as she stood at their knees.
“I, uh, I like your little dress.” said Silver awkwardly.
“... Thanks, I made it myself,” Maple replied awkwardly.
“Sorry, this is… new to me, obviously. It’s not every day you find a shrunken person under your couch. What were you doing there, anyways?” asked Silver.
“Um… I was, um…” stuttered Maple, unsure what to answer before Silver seemed to jump to their own conclusion.
“Wait, you were probably trying to hide from me, that makes sense. Gods, I must look like Godzilla to you or something,” mused the human. Maple wasn’t entirely sure of the reference, but nodded along anyways.
“Y-yeah, it’s… a little scary, honestly.”
“Well it’s okay, I’d never hurt you. You’re a person, after all.” said Silver, trying to be reassuring.
Right… a person… thought Maple, as she began to grow worried. What if Silver figured out the truth? They were smart, she couldn’t fool them forever…
“I have, like, so many questions right now,” Silver said, interrupting Maple’s panic.
“Um… y-yeah, I’m sure…”
“Okay, first: How did you get here? Like, in-my-apartment here.” Silver asked. Maple knew she was going to have to lie, she couldn’t reveal that she lived here. She tried to think of as much human culture as she could, and what she knew of Silver’s life, to try and come up with something.
“I, uh… snuck into your bag… after work one day…” Maple stuttered out.
“Okay… that makes sense. So something at work caused you to shrink?” Silver asked.
“I… I guess so, yeah…”
“You guess so?” Silver said, eyebrow raised.
“I mean… I wasn’t doing anything, um, that would cause it, you know? Just… boop, small,” lied Maple, hoping Silver would drop the subject. However, the human had other concerns.
“Shit, that makes this way more complicated… Okay, um… dangit, I can’t exactly look up ‘how to unshrink somebody’... and I have to imagine I can’t just bring you to a doctor or something” muttered Silver. The human motioned to Maple as they began to stand up. “You stay there, I’ll get my phone.”
Maple felt her body start to shake as the human stood up to their full height. It was anxiety-inducing enough being near them while they were kneeled over, let alone at their full height, with Maple barely being taller than their socked foot.
Silver walked a few steps away and grabbed their phone, before sitting down on the couch and starting to search for… something. It was a few moments before the human seemed to realize something, and lowered their hand to the floor.
“Shit, sorry, I should have, um, asked if you wanted off of the floor. Probably doesn’t help with how tall I look.”
Maple anxiously stepped forward, lightly touching Silver’s hand for the first time. It was… warm and soft, and smelled like Silver. Maple never thought this would happen, that she'd willingly be about to climb into Silver’s hand.
“Just, uh, climb on, I guess. It’s okay.” Silver said, confusing Maple’s awe for fear.
Maple slowly climbed into Silver’s hand, and was extremely slowly lifted and placed on the far end of the couch.
“There, that’s probably more comfortable than the floor at least. Now, just… give me a few minutes and I’ll see if I can find anything on the internet, okay?”
Maple could only nod as she sat on the couch.
—
Silver wasn’t even sure what to begin to search to help Maple. “Spontaneous shrinking”? Completely at a loss, they tried anyway, and to no surprise found zero helpful results, just a lot of fictional stories.
“Hm…” Silver murmured as they turned to Maple. “Do you remember anything that might help?”
“N-not really… sorry. Maybe we should just, um, not worry about it?” Maple replied.
Silver knew that Maple was just trying to not be demanding, but they had to try to help the tiny woman. “No, no, I want to help, Maple. If you don’t remember anything, that’s fine, I’ll see what I can find.”
They noticed that Maple seemed anxious, but summed it up to the tiny person just being nervous about the situation at hand.
“Hey, don’t worry. We’ll figure this out,” Silver said, trying to reassure Maple, but it didn’t seem to sway the tiny person.
As Silver resumed their search, it didn’t take long before they came across something they had never heard of before. Borrowers, they called themselves. Tiny people who sometimes lived among humans, but kept themselves secret. Of course, their existence seems to have been leaked online, but for some reason it wasn’t a big thing? Only some scientific articles studying their biology, a half-polished Wikipedia article, and a few shoddy videos and images. Silver had definitely never heard of them before, and they spent probably too much time on the internet. Weird…
“Hey, I didn’t find anything really, but have you ever heard of borrowers?” They idly asked Maple. If Silver wasn’t looking at their phone, they would have seen Maple go completely pale as the question was asked.
“N-n-no, I c-can’t say I have…” Maple stuttered out.
“Weird… they’re the closest thing I can find, but apparently they’re like, born that small? It’s so weird though, they’re the same size as you and everything.”
“W-wait…” Maple said, “What does the phone say about borrowers?”
Silver was so caught up in their research that they hardly noticed the odd wording of Maple’s question.
“Hm… it says that they’re closely related to humans biologically, and that they live all around the world but are said to have originated from England. They keep away from humans, and every one that’s been studied refuses to speak to humans, so we don’t know much about their culture or anything. But that’s weirdly all there is, aside from some anatomy diagrams and a Wikipedia article full of citation needed links. I dunno, I think people would be more interested in this? I mean, a whole species of tiny people? That’s so cool! I wish I could meet one… I mean, I guess you’re close…”
—
They refused to speak to humans… Maple thought. She had broken the biggest rule of all by talking with Silver, and now she was caught in a lie, pretending to be a human, and she had somehow still managed to clue Silver in to the existence of borrowers.
“I-I’m not… I’m not though, I’m… like I said, I’m a human.”
“I know, I know. Sorry, that was maybe rude of me. Not that there’d be anything wrong with being a borrower, I guess.”
“R-right…” Maple weakly responded. Should she say something? No, she couldn’t. Silver had to keep thinking she was a human. Who knows what the human would do if they found out she was actually a borrower?
Silence fell over them as Silver continued searching for answers to the problem that couldn’t be solved. After far too long, they finally hung their head in defeat.
“Ugh, I’m not finding anything… maybe I should try bringing you to a doctor or something…”
“No!” Maple cried, drawing Silver’s attention.
“S-sorry, I just… I’m, um… afraid, you know…” Maple said.
“Got it, I won’t do anything you aren’t comfortable with. Besides, I know how our company’s insurance is, I sure don’t want to go to a doctor unless I'm literally in the process of dying,” Silver said with a chuckle. Maple tried to laugh along as well, to keep up the act she had created.
“Yeah, exactly,” the borrower said, trying to act casual.
“Well, until we figure something out, you’re welcome to stay here with me, obviously. I can try to find something to make, like, a little bed for you or something, if you want.” Silver said kindly.
Maple’s heart dropped a little bit. Right… She can’t exactly return home while Silver thinks she’s a human…
“O-of course, thank you. I’d appreciate that a lot,” she responded, trying to sound as appreciative as possible.
“Well, for now, I could uh, put something on TV? This is normally when I game, but maybe that’d be a little rude,” Silver said.
Maple’s eyes lit up a bit at that. Even if it was under false pretense, could this finally be her chance to actually hang out with Silver?
“No, no, I’m fine with watching whatever, if you want to play a game or something that’s fine with me!”
Silver smiled a little bit at that. “Okay, if you’re okay with it.” The human switched the TV to the game system, and went to boot up the game. “Have you heard of this one?”
“Yeah, I, uh, I don’t play many games myself, but I, um… watch people play sometimes.” Maple responded.
“Oh, like on the internet? That’s cool. No spoilers though, I’m only at the third dungeon.” Silver said.
“I haven’t seen much past the, um, the second one,” Maple answered. It wasn’t a lie, the borrower had run away during the second dungeon and hadn’t watched Silver since.
As Silver began to play, Maple would ask questions that she hadn’t gotten the answer to.
“Who’s that guy?”
“Wait, you don’t know? He’s usually the hero of the games,” Silver replied.
“Oh…” Maple responded nervously. Was that something all humans know?
“Oh, I get it, you’re probably used to the newer ones where he doesn’t wear the classic outfit. That always bothered me…” Silver said, to Maple’s relief.
“Yeah, that. Only the newer ones, ha… I’m kind of a fake fan…”
“Hey, don’t worry, we don’t gatekeep around here.” Silver smiled at Maple, whose heart fluttered at the gesture.
Silver resumed the adventure, with Maple occasionally asking more questions, or just overall conversing. To Maple, it was one of the highlights of the young borrower’s life, finally hanging out with Silver like… like a friend.
Eventually, the sun set, and even later still, Silver finally decided to turn off the game with a yawn.
“That was fun, but I’ve got work in the morning. Well, we do? I guess you can’t really go into work…” Silver mused.
“Uh, nope, I’m kind of… sick, I guess?” Maple responded.
“Makes sense. Well, um… I’m gonna get ready for bed, which I guess raises the question of where you should sleep…” Silver said. Maple secretly hoped that she would be invited into Silver’s bedroom, but her little dream was dashed when Silver seemed to shrug and simply ask, “Is the couch comfortable for you?”
“Y-yeah, this works…”
“Okay, awesome! Um, do you need anything, like uh, water or anything?”
“N-nope, I should be good.” Maple responded. She had a plan, once Silver went to sleep she would just go back to her house to stock up on everything she’d need for the next… however long this act would take.
“All right, perfect. I’ll, uh, cut the light then, and I’ll see you in the morning? I’ll try not to wake you up.” Silver said, but Maple knew that wouldn’t be a problem. She was usually awake a few hours before Silver woke up, borrowers tended to be up and active at dawn and dusk.
“Okay, good night, Silver.”
“Good night, Maple.”

a guide to starting a studyblr —
by @peachblossomstudy
i’ve been in the studyblr community for many years now (just over four i think!), so i thought i’d make a post with all my advice for anyone lurking in the community thinking of getting more involved. of course i’m not the definitive authority on any of this, please take everything here as suggestions rather than rules!
what is a studyblr?
the term ‘studyblr’ has two meanings: (1) the tumblr community focused on studying, learning and productivity; (2) a blog about your experience as a student/with learning etc. having a studyblr is a fun way to share a love of learning with other, keep yourself accountable in school and find inspiration for notes or planner spreads.
the basics
so you’ve decided to take the plunge. where to start?
url - it’s a good idea to make your url study-themed in some way, whether it includes a variation of the word ‘study’ or references your favourite subject or something else to do with studying or productivity
theme - there are pretty much no rules about themes in the studyblr community! blogs of all themes and aesthetics can be studyblrs, though it may be easier to indicate what your blog is about with a study-related icon. alternatively, it’s quite popular to have picrews for icons to show a bit of personality.
i have made many different icon and header packs, which will be linked on my desktop theme soon!
the picrew i made my icon with is here
introduction post - start your blog with a little introduction about who you are (name or nickname, age if you feel comfortable, pronouns), what you study, any other fun information and maybe even tag some of your studyblr inspirations
content - people post lots of different types of content, including and not limited to:
pictures of their notes, planner or workspace - these are generally the most popular
advice posts made up of graphics
masterlists/masterposts based on different themes (e.g. language learning masterposts)
text-based advice posts (like this one!)
reblogs! the best way to show your love to everyone else in the community
growing your blog
now you’ve posted some content, and it’s time to explore the community a bit more. it goes without saying that growing on tumblr is more of an organic thing, and if you’re coming to studyblr purely for notes then you may want to rethink your reasons for joining the community. nevertheless, validation feels great, and so does making new friends!
try to post regularly - an active blog will always help new people find you, and regular posts will help keep followers engaged
post original content - posting something unique to you will give people a reason to follow you specifically, rather than the same reblogged posts being circulated
that being said, reblogging from others (bonus points for leaving nice messages in the tags!) is a great way to introduce them to your blog. if someone sees your url in their notes often, they’ll be more likely to have a look at your blog
don’t be afraid to interact - send someone a message, send them an ask, reply to their posts, add compliments in their tags! generally everyone in the studyblr community is super friendly and open to messaging, asks and making friends, so get stuck right in
my ask box is always open to new friends! <3
use tags - most studyblr have a tag that they track, and will usually go through and like/reblog any posts that use this tag. find out what tags your favourite blogs track and use them on your posts to help them get seen
i track (very sporadically at the moment) the tag #heypeachblossom
other
now you’ve established yourself, there are lots of other things to do on studyblr! here are some ideas:
get involved in challenges - there are many different challenges to participate in. popular ones include the 100 days of productivity challenge, and the lovely @/myhoneststudyblr has many previous studying challenges you could complete. if you’re into reading, sabrina @/bulletnotestudies and the studyblr w/ knives discord server have lots of great themed reading challenges
participate in events - over the year some blogs will run events such as secret santas or secret admirers, which are really cute and fun to do. this february i ran the @studyblrsecretvalentines, and i’m hoping to do it again in 2023.
play ask games and tag games with your friends - this is a great way to get to know more people and have some fun!
resources
finally, here are a few useful tips/resources for the more practical side of running a studyblr
your queue is your best friend - you can run up a huge queue of reblogs to keep your blog active during busy study times
i personally use the mobile app snapseed to edit my photos for original content, and find it works really well
canva.com is a great online, free editing program - i use it to make all the graphics for my post header and advice posts
my header and icon packs (that i’ve tagged correctly) are here! i have made other packs, though they’ll have to be found through my archive, sorry
momentum is a popular desktop extension in the studyblr community
lots of people also use forest (or flora, which is free) for cute focus timers
this has turned into a bit of a monster post, but i hope if you’ve read this far that you found it useful! feel free to tag me in your introduction posts, and see you around studyblr <3

Man, this is something that’s always confused me.
“People who put alter introductions or lists in their bio with alter ages and stuff are harming themselves! Don’t give out information about yourself online, people will use it to hurt you!”
I’m genuinely curious. How?
I get trigger lists — that one is obvious how people could use it to hurt you. But things I’ve seen claimed as things folks will use against me:
Picrew images
Alter ages
Our names
My bodily age (can kinda get this one but I’m a big boy, really, and I’m fine with folks knowing it)
Like. I super don’t get how someone knowing my part’s name is dangerous for me.

The Breaking of Kelsey Karlov
What's your favorite thing about it? Which character speaks to you the most?
Hi! Sorry about the long time on getting back to this one :)
It’s time to talk about this WIP that I never talk about despite being like four edits away from done the thing. I do love the story, I’m just very shy about it so I don’t talk much about it
CW for mentions of (temporary) death of a child
My favourite thing about it is absolutely the characters. They all feel so alive and so real and so much like normal people despite the fact that the world they live in is absolutely deranged and their story is more so. It’s a super character driven story and every character has something to contribute and I love them all so dearly
It’s hard to pick a favourite but I think I’m going to go with Ellory because she’s got major Character Of All Time energy. Ellory Vuliev is a twenty-eight-year-old banker with more money than she knows what to do with and a chip on her shoulder larger than the city she lives in. She’s also dead. Ellory died tragically at the age of eight by being kicked in the head by a centaur and was promptly turned into a ghost. So despite being twenty-eight and having the thoughts and maturity of a twenty-eight-year-old, she still looks eight. She’s very angry about how much she gets treated like a child who can’t take care of herself because of this - if she gets one more client asking her where her mother is, she’s going to cuss them out
Ellory is… not an especially good person, to be honest, except when she kind of is. She’s snarky and crass and mean and angry, but she’s passionately loyal to her friends and single-mindlessly devoted to anything she puts her mind to. When her friend she’s fighting with is in trouble, she’ll go to the ends of the world to find out what happened and keep them safe. She’ll snark and snap and get temperamental about the littlest things but she’ll have your back no matter what. She’s generous if you’re nice to her but will ruin you if you piss her off, and when the main villain targets her best friend, she’s out for blood
Here she is, the snarky asshole herself. This isn’t a perfect picrew of her (she looks younger and she has monolids) but it was the best I have
Thank you for the ask! I’m always excited to get asks from you :)
#writeblr#the breaking of kelsey karlov#it can have its own tag even though I don’t talk about it much
