Curious but how did you come up with your OC? Is she her own fandomless OC you have verses for, or has she always been one in the Persona universe?
Truth be told, Sylvia is a self-insert OC. I have other verses of her, and her background is usually different in every one, to better explain her circumstances. It's just, her Persona verse is the most active one I have on Tumblr. I came up with her in middle school, when I was at my lowest point, and Sylvia became my go-to comfort character ever since, because... she helped me escape.
But the truth is, I have lots of verses for her. Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's is one (which I don't actually use on here since I don't have any 5D's moots, but I am writing a fic about it on Wattpad-- it's the kind of fic that I'm not really proud to have, but I'm too attached not to write it, so into the trash bin it goes, I guess). I also have verses like Pokemon, in which she only accumulates her trauma after going out on a Pokemon journey, or Fire Emblem, where she's a glass cannon mage tasked with defending her lord (and maybe falls a little ill because of all the magic she's got inside her).
There are others, of course, but at the moment I can't think of many, since right now I'm hyperfixated on the Persona series, but if there are any other fandoms I like that I want Sylvia to be a part of, chances are she's there, with at least a basic background that I can build on if I start focusing on it again (like My Hero Academia). Oh, but I don't actually watch popular anime like One Piece, Bleach, Death Note, or Demon Slayer. Especially not Fullmetal Alchemist; I watched it when I was younger and got traumatized by the chimera dog. It's a little bit tricky, but I mostly find myself attracted by JRPGs, which is when I start to wonder, "I wonder what it would be like for Sylvia here? What kind of background would she have? How would she interact with the characters?" Building her up from there, coming up with funny scenarios with other characters, creating mischief and angst and blending the two into a believable character... It's all a lot of fun for me.
Sylvia being a self-insert doesn't mean that I take everything personally when I RP. Instead, the way I act with her feels more like she's a "doll" or an act that I play with. If other characters have personally hurt her, that's not an attack on me, nor is it an attack on her. It is an in-character interaction, much like how two actors who act out characters on stage that fight one another doesn't mean that the actors themselves are fighting.
The way she looks and is as a character is built in ways I can relate to, and it helps me to cope with the real world and real traumas I have. In a way, Sylvia could actually be my own personal Persona-- a mask I wear to get through the real world.
Sylvia's appearance is based purely on what I would find ideal on myself, and is sorta like what I think my personality looks like if it were a person. Her background, though, is something I have fun playing around with and building with the world, and I do my best not to break the boundaries of whatever world she's in, but bend them a little bit to make her seem unique without trying to take attention away from other, more important characters.
I guess you could call Sylvia almost a "trauma response," but I prefer to think of her more as a "special interest," because through her, I can learn better how to write, how to behave myself, and simply have fun interacting with canon characters.
Also, exhibiting some of my own personal habits through her helps me identify my faults as a person, and figure out things that I need to work on versus what things may be cute or fun in an objective sense, which I could leave alone after a bit of moderation. Such as...
...m-my habit of rambling. Or my dislike of loud noises.
But not everything Sylvia does is the same as me! For example, I don't actually live on a farm like Sylvia does in both the Pokemon and Persona 5 verses. My home is actually in a suburban area. Sylvia's location also isn't exactly the same as mine, and depending on the verse, her skillset isn't the same as mine either-- the only things that remain the same are her like of drawing, singing, and writing. Sometimes it isn't possible for her to play a flute, or to play video games, or even to just ride a bike. So really, how close she is in depiction to the actual me depends on the verse, but all of it is simply to have fun.
I hope that explained Sylvia as a concept sufficiently. I know a lot of people are uncomfortable RPing with self-inserts, so I'm already very grateful for the people who are willing to RP with her, and who haven't dismissed her as cringe or disgusting. Believe me, I've tried to let her go years ago, but every time, it never worked. So I'm sort of stuck. But I think if I practice with Sylvia long enough, I could start writing other characters with their own silly nuances and overly specific habits too.
#🌸 ~ out of character ~ 🌸#thank you so much for the question!#it's really nice to know people like Sylvia#and that they are genuinely curious about her#that's why i think it would be best for me to be completely honest about what she is#for anyone who dislikes self inserts; i completely understand why#not only does it feel weird taking your canon muse and setting them up with a stranger#there's no guarantee that stranger will be respectful of you or anything#you could get into dangerous situations because there are a million kinds of people on the planet#and you don't know which one any given person is at any time#some of them could turn out to be aggressive for instance#but with other canon characters you're at least somewhat guaranteed that you know what their personality is#so it feels a little more trustworthy and secure#thank you to everyone who gave me a chance and allowed me to rp with you <3#i'm glad i found myself in this community

OC Rachel would absolutely be bros for life with Renee! Refering to the charts it'd Be My Friend with potential to be Besties in time. Crush Central indeed, Renee's got a similar sense of humor and a common interest in art, plus she's really kind and beautiful too. There's a decent chance for Rachel's feelings to turn romantic, and she's crush prone herself, often falling hard and fast for people she's fairly close too (she's a bi/panromantic demisexual like IRL me). And even if they stay platonic, Renee would be regarded as a very adorable and important friend.
Alas, Rachel has some sensory issues, hence her dislike of bright light (she'll struggle to keep her eyes open and get headaches after awhile) and strong smells (weak stomach regarding foul smells, she also has crappy sinuses and asthma so regardless of whether the smell is good or bad it can give her a headache or even take her breath). She overheats easily too. That said, she'll improvise ways to overcome this in order to spend time with you. Sunglasses, parasols, masks, vaporub to rub under her nose, hiding in the shade/shadows. Of course, it's nice to hangout in a controlled environment that's more to her liking but she'll happily meet you halfway. Likewise, she'll improvise so she can interact with your pokemon because they're too sweet not to.
Between her sensory issues and being hella introverted, Rachel does heavily prefer to have plans in place a day or two before hand, rather than do things spontaneously. This way she can (hopefully) avoid getting overstimulated, exhausted and running low on social energy beforehand, just so she can bring her best self to you.
She tends to come off as serious, quiet and reserved to strangers (especially if you encounter her when she's actively doing something because then she's fighting her ADHD off with a broom, in casual settings she looks awkward and anxious if she's not with a friend), but she'll warm up after talking to her a few times. Humor is a good way to do this, she loves dry, snarky, dark and perverted jokes, so I'm sure Renee can get her laughing fast. She's not against Physical Affection, it just takes her a little time to let a new person touch her casually, but you can get her to a point where she'd be offended if you didn't give her a hug when you see her. She will outright tell you she loves you semi-regularly, check in on you regularly, and make a point to compliment you and express support and gratitude often. Funnily enough, if you were to praise her, the more it means to her, the more emotional she'll get (and she may struggle to accept it gracefully). Lastly, Rachel thrives on being helpful, need anything? Just ask. And She's likely to offer help before you ask too. Acts of Service all the way. If you prove yourself to be a reliable figure in her life you will recieve undying loyalty in return. Overall, she's what I'd call an agressive caregiver (You haven't eaten today? Here's a muffin you fuck. You talk down on yourself? Shut your whore mouth, you are wonderful. You do something dumb? She'll be blunt when she tells you so, but she'll help you figure it out.)
Renee is very very pleased with however their relationship turns out.
She does, though, worry a bunch about accidentally making Rachel miserable. She’s inclined to overthink a bit, so she’ll text like two months beforehand like “if. . . I need to photograph Pokémon at. . . the daycare. . . would you like to come?”
Renee just doesn’t want Rachel to have a miserable time with her. She’s one of those “I need everyone to like me all the time” types (unless you piss her off first (i.e. Emmet)) and on top of that she enjoys spending time with Rachel! So she does her best to be accommodating!
She can be too much tho, so just smack her and tell her how it is. She’ll eventually get it.
She just loves her friend/partner 👀 so very much. Plenty of hugs to be found for Rachel!
~Renee

Ya know you'd think someone who does a lot involving the Internet for their work (promotion and selling etc) would be aware of reverse image search.
Rant ahead.
Especially when they're claiming they're the original artist.
I mean I knew for sure id seen some of the art my friend claims she's the original artist of is by other people. I figured that it was merely practice (this was a few years ago now bare that in mind it's around 2014 time before I even started posting mine online again)
However around 2020 she began selling pieces she'd drawn on fb and at car boot sales (think of craft fairs but not just craft if youre not from the UK) and made a fair amount of money. Enough to begin to do her current business of handmade paint as well as her actual legit job of being a promotion assistant for a disco/bouncy house/dj business.
And she stopped selling her art and didn't post it anywhere but would show me. And it got me a tad suspicious cos she seen me posting mine and while I don't have a massive following for my art the few people who interact make me smile if I've had a bad day.
She recently began asking if I'd help her get back into the swing of social media for her artwork. She said she didn't have time for taking photos of her art and do the business photography, I offered to go and take the photos and send them via email. Which I did because I'm a good friend and wanted to be supportive.
However....
I did notice that her style was inconsistent. You can tell when my friend has truly drawn something and when she's copied. I mean this in the nicest way but she can not for the life of her draw faces.
All her humans look like pugs. There's not a lot of facial definition around key structural places like the eyes and nose. The nose is always a big give away for me. I have given her pointers on them in the past and I can see a little improvement. And she does have some sketches that I can see she's worked on and made notes on to make progress.
It's kinda like she gave up on her art and didn't improve past senior school with it. That is probably the best way I can describe how I see her skill level. It's stuck in final year of school.
Now the art thief issue is that she loves anime, and Disney, and pokemon, and digimon. And I have reverse image searched her art work of these fandoms.
All are available to find online with much better quality of work.
There's also a rather well known youtuber whose arkwork she has taken and sold for her own profit. Which I cannot prove as she cleared the fb profile she used to sell it on completely recently.
And I know she is still doing this type of behaviour currently.
I really don't know what to do about this. I've asked her point blank before are you tracing/using this person's such and such as reference and got told a short sharp no. Same as when I ask if she's still sleeping with her employer really.
I rarely show her what I'm working on for this exact reason.
She's also the reason why I don't have any of my artwork prior to 2006. She borrowed my file to draw one of my earliest ocs and her mother threw it out cos she had the bright idea to put my artwork (a very full arch lever file full) into a carrier bag to bring back to me instead of leavijng it on her desk. Her mother assumed it was trash and away it went. It's the one thing I will never forgive her mother for EVER!
#art theif#phoenix rambles#fml#Best friend is a moron#Who lacks several morals and needs a good lot of sense shook into her

Selfship Intro Post!
Hello everyone, my name is Sophia, I’m 18 and I’ve finally decided to make a selfship blog after self-shipping (and lurking on the selfship community) since 2019. My blog is still under construction, (there’s still a few things I need to figure out; banner, long-term pfp, how tf do I make a carrd?) but I’m just wanting to put my intro out there so I can start interacting with the community and meeting mutuals (and hopefully friends(!)) within the community! I’ll probably move this over to a Google doc/ carrd once I figure out how to make one to keep it less messy but I’ll leave some basic info here for the time being:
•My only romantic (F/O) is Kazuma Asogi from the great ace attorney. I’ve loved him pretty much since I met him in game on the English release of TGAA on 27/07/21 so I consider that to be our anniversary (lol). Please do not interact in any capacity if you, or a mutual selfships (or ships an oc) with him romantically, post often about a ship with him and a canon character, or you like him in romantic capacity. And please, do block me if you share him.
•Whilst Kazuma is my only romantic (F/O) there are a few former (F/O)’s who I still care for lore/story-wise and will list them under my crush category. I’m fine sharing them but I’ll leave them listed out since I may gush about them from time to time and I don’t want someone with these (F/O)’s to interact with my blog without knowing.
•My interests include a lot of anime, manga and a few select video games, I’ll list out a few of my favourites/ the ones I’m most invested in below but if you have (F/O)’s from those sources please, please interact!!
Without further ado:
(F/O) list:
Romantic: Kazuma Asogi (thinking of a tag still)
Platonic (☀️ for my main comfort characters):
TGAA: Susato Mikotoba, Ryunosuke Naruhodo, Gina Lestrade, Herlock Sholmes, Iris Wilson.
One Piece: The entirety of the strawhat crew but especially Monkey D. Luffy ☀️, Yamato.
Golden Kamuy: Koito Otonoshin ☀️, Asirpa, Sugimoto Saichi
Arven ☀️ (Pokemon SV)
Katsura Kotaro ☀️ (Gintama)
Main Interests:
Ace Attorney, Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons franchise, Persona 5 (currently finally starting my play through and I love it), Pokemon, One Piece, Golden Kamuy, Dr. Stone and basically any anime /manga I’ve rated a seven or above on my anime list:
MAL: Lawphii (I had no idea external links didn’t show up in searches and I was still scratching my head tryna figure out why absolutely 0 people saw my post so oops.)
(Remember!! Please interact if you have (F/O’s from said sources, I would love to hear about your ships!!)
Former (F/O)/ crushes:
(Don’t really have feelings for, but might memtion : 🍂, may gush/talk about from time to time:🍃)
Trafalgar D. Water Law (One Piece) 🍃
Ukyo Saionji (Dr. Stone) 🍃
Haru Kato (Millionaire Detective) 🍃
Rei Furuya (Detective Conan)🍃
Dande/Leon (Pokemon SWSH) 🍃
Ogata Hyakunosuke (Golden Kamuy)🍂
Hijikata Toshizou (Golden Kamuy)🍃 *only the Golden Kamuy Ver. I have no interest in the real historical figure.
Kokichi Ouma (Danganronpa) 🍂
Kyojuro Rengoku (Demon Slayer) 🍃
(For the time being I’ve removed most of my DNI criteria as I have a suspicion the phrases I’ve used automatically blocked my intro post from appearing…?)
•I want to keep this blog as discourse-free as possible, of course there is probably some content out there that’ll make me uncomfortable, but I will not go ahead and start a witch-hunt for anyone who posts such things and I won’t interact with anyone who regularly engages in such conflict. Don’t drag me into discourse either, I wont entertain it and I’ll just block you if you do. If you don’t fit DNI criteria you are free to interact, but know that if I’m still uncomfortable with your blog I will probably not follow back, and possibly will block you if it genuinely unsettles me. No hard feelings, I just want to curate my space as best as I can.
•I would prefer it if TGAA fandom blogs did not reblog, only because I don’t want my selfship content making it out into the main fandom tags.
•Basic DNI criteria apply; racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism and any form of bigotry etc are not welcome anywhere on my blog.
—
And until I figure out how to make a carrd/find the motivation to organise my blog I’ll keep updating this post if I think of anything important to add.
In this blog I hope to post mainly my selfship art, ramblings/gushing/musings, and shitpost about anything on my mind.
I’m very excited to get to know you all, I hope this post doesn’t get lost in the tags forever but if you manage to stumble upon my blog as a selfshipper please come interact with me! I would love to make some friends in this community!!
-Sophia.

Just to complete the set of my Trainer OCs meeting Soni for the world hopping thing.
Galen the nurse with his Togetic named, Eggy. He'd be the tired uncle figure for Soni if she came to his AU.
Poor guy has to deal with rowdy boys and a certain alchemy professor that he is certain, was hitting on him everytime he does his surprise visits.
He just looks at Soni and goes: You deal with these problematic people too? You have my sympathy.
He'd share a couple of jars of Combee Honey with her because it helps him de-stress when he mixed it with his tea or toast.
Also he wouldn't be aware Soni was a champion because he is busy with work a lot. Hospital work is VERY demanding from what I heard.
He'd just hear some of the Nurse Joys talk about how a kid from Kalos was the appointed champion.
"The Nurse Joy from Kalos told the Nurse Joy from Sinnoh this over the phone that a kid was a champion... I didn't pay any attention after that because a Snorlax was going into labor..."
He says so casually and sips the coffee.
In all honesty, he feels like Soni should be given some slack if he was told of how the people perceive her. Rough world it is...
Also a running gag that Soni knows WHICH Nurse Joy Galen was talking about while the boys who overhear are just confused af. Like, "Joy? are they talking about the same person?"
The boys at first, would be confused as to who this Soni person is and why is she here but she might be a new nurse assistant to Galen during the time she is here, and they have Ramshackle as the main house.
Good nurse (Galen) and bad Nurse (Soni). Galen is tired but has no backbone to deal with magial kids while Soni suplexes them to behave and get their treatment.
"I don't give a Rattata's *ss if the meds taste bitter, we'd rather not start a mortuary at this school!"
Soni would like Eggy the Togetic who is a sweetheart and looks after his tired trainer.
Maybe once they have gotten comfortable with each other's company Galen would tell her that he used to dream of becoming a great trainer until he was scared that his Togetic almost lost his life in a battle once.
He found another dream when he realized he liked taking care of Pokemon. Probably gives her encouragement that despite all she has gone through she was an amazing trainer.
Also Soni confronting those students taking advantage of Galen and his Pokemon by pretending to be sick like...
Soni the Nurse: Thank you for your patience, you are in good health! If you come back pretending to be injured again I will personally put you into a hospital permanently!
Oh, Galen being the tired uncle for Soni 🥺💕 and the fact that Soni helps out Galen with the patients when they try to pull a fast one on them.
The Nurse Joy thing 😂 That's honestly so funny and it definitely sounds plausible!
On a side note, Soni being there at the Ramshackle Dorm as an assistant nurse and the part-time gardener to ensure that the place can have healing Berries and whatnot. The Combee Honey drink would definitely be appreciated, especially if Soni has her own little Combee buzzing around.
Bonding time tho!
I love the fact that Galen would tell Soni about her struggles and his own being a Trainer when he was figuring himself out. Soni needs that positive interaction and Galen definitely fills that aspect to a T.
The rough world of Pokemon that Soni lives in 😔 That do be true, Galen.
Soni as a nurse would just come with a sign of "If you are acting hurt, you aren't gonna act hurt when you come out of here."

What is your process for coming up with ocs, whether it be for the blog or in general?
[Admittedly, there isn’t much of a process? Or at least it’s hard to explain, haha.
Well, I say that, but then this got really long, so my explanation will be under the cut! But tldr; there isn’t much of a process my brain just comes up with things and I follow through those base ideas.]
[For this blog and other ocs I make that are based on a pre-existing media, I have the fun of having to interpret characters that are already there, but may not have been written with all the details fully put together. GtI is especially good at having characters that feel like fully fleshed out characters, but also leave a lot to interpretation. Or, a lot to interpret from memory, because sometimes, admittedly, I forget something about a character (like Munna helping you at the end of the game) but then it turns into something more interesting for me anyway (just because Munna helps you doesn’t mean it changes everything for you and her). For example, GtI!Partner is generally optimistic and friendly, has big dreams, but is also missing a bio family. Meeko thus gets all those traits, but I get to add more to flesh him out some more. He love giving hugs, he doesn’t really know his exact birthday, he’s a little bit claustrophobic (there’s your fun Meeko fact of the day), he loves the world and people in it so much despite how little he had to base that love off of for so long. Of course, I have some ocs that exist in this blog but do not have any explicit in-game counterparts, namely the five other humans I mentioned. Rather than expanding on pre-existing characters in this case, I’ve expanded on pre-existing concepts. We know there were other humans. We don’t know how many there were (even within the lore of this blog, the five mentioned ones, six including Linn, are not the only ones), nor do we really know what they were like. As Hydreigon goes over in this ask, each of the human characters I came up with were sort of selected for some core traits that I, and therefor Hydreigon, would think to be possibly good heroic traits. For their pokemon species, Jason, Steven, and Audrey defaulted to tepig, snivy, and axew as a nod to the other GtI hero and partner options. As for Becca and York, Becca got machop because it’s an old pmd hero option that I feel like everyone forgets about, and York got poochyena because I wanted to pick a pokemon that was not in gen 1 or 5, to shake things up a bit, and poochyena came to mind. It’s a pokemon I am fond of, and makes sense to be a pmd hero despite never having been one. The five of them have more to their characters that might get time to address in-universe, but we’ll have to see when we get there.
In general for making ocs through, I don’t have a better way to phrase it than just the vibes sometimes? If they’re for a story, I often think of the role I want them to play, or the concept, and expand from there, which is often where the vibe checking comes in. Answering questions like what are their goals? How do they interact with other characters? Are good to figure out early, in my experience, and then you start answering the “why’s?” and after that, the “then what’s?” For example, why does character A treat character B poorly? Depending on that answer, it could lead to what would make character A treat character B better? Does character B treat everyone poorly, or just character A? It’s a lot of asking yourself questions and figuring out the questions, whether that’s something your brain comes up with on your own, or whether you have to crack down and do some research.
It may just be another me being weird thing, since I know the way I do a lot of creative works is often an odd, roundabout way, so it’s hard to know what makes sense to others and what doesn’t, but I tend to let my passion for whatever my project is fuel me and just listen to what my instinctual ideas are for ocs. There are some things that will never get addressed in-universe in some of my stories, but just having them in mind helps me to figure out how those ocs may act in other situations (fun fact! Junior, i.e Kangaskhan’s kid in Galaxies Above, his father was an awful person and him and Kangaskhan are like the closest to divorced you can get in that setting, but it never comes up in the actual story!). To avoid making this post too much longer, I suppose, if you were looking for advice, just remember what role the characters serve in the story or in relation to other characters, but never just stop there, always have other ideas in the back of your pocket for them.]

hello! I'm coming from twitter after reading your thoughts after deactivating both of your accounts, and I've thought to say that I've deeply enjoyed your thoughts and inputs regarding Pokémon and your OC lore although I've never personally reached you besides some rts and such. Your health comes first, so I wish you real good on your path to healing, it was nice to have you in the fandom! :)
Hi Anon, Thank you I appreciate your kind words! Like I said in the tweet I haven't quite decided how I want to handle everything (like completely deactivating this blog or just leaving it up but defunct). I'm just really overwhelmed with this Tumblr. I am immensely honored and flattered by all the people who have liked/reblogged/asked questions. It warms my heart to know people find me approachable enough to want to have these discussions and that people like my OCs (especially since I grew up in a time where everyone was witch-hunting OCs ready to call them Mary sues at the drop of a hat I was really anxious about talking about them). But at the end of the day, I am an introvert and at times it's a struggle to keep up with the asks and DMs I get and try to post my own original posts (be it thoughts on the franchise, or just OC posts or fanfic). I love this blog but it's become way too hard to keep up with it and I don't want people thinking I'm ignoring their asks or DMs when I'm really just too drained to even talk. It's the same with my twitter, I enjoy talking to people but I'm also just rapidly getting drained with the constant engagement.
And if I'm being frank, I'm just really burnt out on Pokemon. I came into Pokemon as a kid through the anime but I have long since stopped watching the anime religiously. And the manga well to be honest has never really grabbed my attention outside of the SwSh arc (I've never finished a single manga arc because I was get bored/annoyed with the plot). So all I had left was the games.
Pokemon SwSh reignited my love for the franchise in a way I hadn't felt since gen 5. But as I've come to realize recently, it was an outlier when it comes to Switch titles. I haven't finished Shining Pearl or Let's Go Pikachu and I quite frankly have no desire to finish them. Even Legends Arceus which I was super hyped for I am struggling to play and not because I find it difficult, but because the playstyle just doesn't appeal to me. As a Pokemon fan since 1999 I am of course happy to see the franchise innovate and take risks like it is with Legends. It needs to be done. And I am happy so many people are enjoying it. But I also realize that this direction is not what I truly desire from the franchise and that's fine. Everything isn't for everybody. So with all of this plus the fact that IRL my mental health has taken a huge nosedive I just need to step away. Again I'm still debating between completely wiping everything or just leaving somethings up but keeping a low profile from now on. I want to thank everyone again for reading and interacting with my blog. It means a lot to know how this little thing I made at the spur of the moment grew and I've met a lot of wonderful people through it. I have some asks I need to finish answering and after I'll figure out how I want to handle things.

TEN Q’S:
1. when are you usually online?
My mornings and evenings, mostly. I work on weekday afternoons, so I’m rarely active then! I’m also a night owl, so my bedtime is anywhere between 11pm and 2am depending on how much the day drained me.
2. what verses are you involved in outside of this page?
I write mostly in a semi-canon verse for Ryu, though I’m also building an AU Pokemon verse for him! (Speaking of, if this is asking what other fandom verses I write in, Pokemon is currently the main one! I have a fandomless OC as well, and Noragami muses!)
3. what is your biggest RP pet peeve?
Got a couple that go hand in hand:
1. Real time RP. As in, the passage of REAL time affects the threads and relationships, and if I disappear for a day the other muse is wondering where mine was. (This is why the vast majority of my stuff is plotted or semi-plotted.)
2. Endless domestic shippy fluff. I like ships, but I prefer a slow burn with plenty of outside drama, not... happy married life.
Other than those... I also really don’t like purple prose.
4. are you drawn to specific types of muses?
I really like characters with an internal struggle who also want to make the world better in some way. Even if they make a lot of mistakes, they’re trying.
5. are there recurring themes in your writing that people might not notice?
I don’t know if it’s hard to notice the themes I like? But I think a big one is the ripple effect: a person’s actions will leave marks on the world around them.
Sometimes, a small gesture makes a big impact.
6. what are your favorite RP trends?
I’m very glad to see more people writing relationships BEYOND romantic ships. Last time I was active, it felt like... those were the main thing people cared about, and partners that wanted to stay friends (or explore stuff like rivalries!) would get dropped super quick.
I also think the little banners people use now are super neat? I love how people find and make stuff that fits their muse!
7. what is your process for starting a new story with someone?
Meetings are some of my favorite things to approach, actually! I try to figure out an idea that’s fun and memorable, and as unique as possible! (Naturally, there is bound to be some overlap. Especially because I adore certain tropes, lol.)
I also try communicate with my RP partners, figure out what sorts of things we both would like to explore with our characters! I think it’s important to be on the same page about the general direction threads are going.
8. how do you feel about duplicates?
I adore other Replikus, and whenever I write with them I have a lot of fun! It’s so interesting to see how people choose to develop the character, what name they have him go by, whether or not they make changes to his appearance... and of course, how similar and different they all are from Riku AND each other!
Plus, the threads themselves tend to be funny. It’s amusing how often they can actually tell it’s another replica! “Wait, you’re not HIM, you’re ME!”
9. how long have you been involved in roleplaying?
RP in general? About 14 years!
Tumblr RP and Ryu specifically? It’ll be 10 years next March!
10. is there a muse or verse you wish you could write in, but haven’t?
There’s a lot of muses I would love to write, but I just don’t have the time or energy to have more or get involved in totally unfamiliar fandoms.
I haven’t gotten to dive into Ryu’s Pokemon Verse much yet, but I’m excited about it! Other than that, I think the only underused verse that I COULD do a lot more with is “Sleeping to Dream.” I’d love to rp out the adventure Ryu and Xion had playing the Reaper’s Game! (A lot of the active TWEWY blogs don’t seem to interact with KH blogs, though.)
TAGGED BY: stole it from @litoredeem TAGGING: steal it from me!

I know I just sent an ask, but do you have any advice for someone who would like to start their own Pokemon blog? I'm not exactly sure how to introduce myself and find a place in the community. Especially since I'd like a blog similar to yours, using reason and facts to answer questions about Pokemon, I'm not sure how to actually get people to send asks or interact.
I get a lot of messages about this, even folks asking me if it’s ok that they make a similar blog type like???? Guys, tumblr is free, there’s not like one teacher in the whole world, go forth and make as many blogs as you want, and OCs, professors, and variants and whatever makes you happy, don’t need my input, or in some cases permission? That’s ridiculous.
now onto my advice I guess. Bare in mind I started this blog for fun, and hopefully to grow into a small side hustle, with a shop and comics and stuff people might like to buy. It’s no where near done growing now, and I don’t know a whole lot past how far I’ve gotten in it all, so disclaimers, I’m not an expert, but I will try!
the biggest thing I find that pulls people in is passion. I utterly love plants, I spend a lot of time reading biologists reports on species, I also actually do garden design as a job for people, plus grow a lot of my own foods. You’ve got to find that thing, if you love fables and myths, pick Pokemon that fit that, if you utterly love to swim, water types would be what you interact with the most. If you have passion, people will see that and be compelled to read further. PLUS! You get to interact and meet other folks who agree with you, enjoy what you do, or even disagree with you and want to discuss other thoughts on the matter at hand. Whatever you love, will direct you to a set of species. Maybe you even love fashion, so design clothing based on Pokemon, work in fabrics and materials harvested from species not yet commercially used. The possibilities are endless, and the biggest fun part to it all is the limits are your imagination. At the end of the day it’s not real, and what you want to create is entirely down to you, so there’s no wrong answers, and no nerves to have about any of it.
I find that interacting with active other blogs and accounts, politely and with an open mind, can lead to wonderful discussions, and in turn helps in developing posts ect. If you want people to interact, make the first move, be bold, and join in with pre-existing ideas you can get inspired by if you can’t figure out where to start.
always remember, Pokemon is for kids, first and foremost, I and many others are adults in this space, and so what you put out must have at least disclaimers and warnings for what it contains should it become a little mature. I know a lot of people, myself included like to darken up the Pokemon world to fit in with reality, which as we all know can be a little awful sometimes, so at least make sure you state that should it occur. We don’t want to worsen a space designed for kiddos.
if you’re not too sure on how to introduce a character, art and creative writing are excellent, but not the only options, so get creative and express yourself with the idea of giving a strong theme. We as trainers and professors can specialise in specific areas sure, but this doesn’t mean we don’t have many experiences outside of those. To solidify a strong and approachable character, picking one area is sometimes a lot easier than trying to do it all.
oh boy what else, uhhhh, nah I fall short on advice right now, but just be confident, be open, and be inspired. I always ask myself ‘do I love this?’ To whatever I’m creating, if I don’t love it, it’s got to change.

Oh sweet! okay another lol sorry bub. When it comes to art I geek out and never shut the fuck up. I like hearing about the passion people have for it.
So, when did you figure out your style? Or more specifically what medium you prefer or felt comfortable using most? if that makes sense...cause I know a lot of artists have a range of what they do but there’s always like that specific thing they focus on and stick to. When did you find your style or technique? If you don’t mind me asking
No need to apologize, I like these kinds of interactions, my dude. This will be a long answer with old art for examples so I am going to use a “read more”.
It took a while to find a style. At first, I was mainly doodling animals and monsters. Which, mainly due to watching a lot of anime/animations while growing up, evolved into drawing anime-like stuff. So, for some time, it was mimicking things I’ve seen on screen or in manga. I really liked the linework, the grey tones. Yet, I kept falling back to animals; painting them, doing sketch studies, etc. I had a mixed preference when it came to mediums.
I’d say it was around 2009, when I turned 16, that I started to find a style but it was the very beginning. Very rough. That is the year I obtained a pen tablet and started cruising around sites that had art programs in the browser. It took some time for me to obtain my own art program and to get adjusted to it. So that was all I had for a couple of years. There was no pen pressure and I didn’t understand all the tools/brushes at first, but it is where I learned how to use layers and such.
(2010 - OC art was drawn for a friend) I think it really started taking shape around 2016. I had my own art program by that point and understood things better. It wasn’t perfect and I was still playing with styles and types of characters. Don’t be surprised that my animal-loving heart started to combine itself with anime which resulted in anthropomorphic “furry” characters. I grew up with Digimon, Pokemon, Inuyasha, and such so drawing things with animal-like characteristics was normal for me.
(Personal character who worked at a Maid Cafe | I wanted to create a manga back then but never went through with it)
I delved into that community for a long time, 2013 - 2016, not drawing pure human-themed pieces for a while. It was near the end of 2016 that I branched back to human art, falling into this fan art corner. It started with anime, once again, but a style wasn’t really there. What I learned by drawing “furry” stuff couldn’t entirely be achieved when drawing human characters. It felt like I was at step one all over again. So I began to sketch again.
(Old art tumblr | Personal OC that is a cat demon and very inspired by anime) I relied heavily on shows I really liked in that category: Yu Yu Hakusho and Inuyasha being the main examples. Which resorted to some fanart that I tried to go into further detail with. Taking what I learned in the past when it came to lining and coloring.
I was happy where I was with it but I wanted to take it further. I wanted more realism. I was already trying to draw real-life fictional characters at this point, but it was easy to see how drawing anime stuff prior bled into the style.
2018 - 2020 was a moment where I decided to focus on realism. I wanted to improve my human and animal art that way. So I found myself, once again, sketching a lot.
I think this is why I prefer doing a lot of sketchy stuff compared to rendering entire pieces. I still digitally paint, especially animals (and that is what I am often paid for), but I find my human stuff looks good as sketches. So here we are now where my art is this mix of sketches and paintings. Though I occasionally fall back to that anime/comic-like style.
This was a long-winded way of going about answering, but I wanted to give examples that — like with everything, it takes time to hone in a style and skill.

35 Questions for Fanfic Writers
Thanks @bachint for tagging me! I’ll try to provide you with the best answers I can come up with ^^
1. From one to five stars, how would you rate your writing? (No downplaying yourself!) Probably three stars, maybe four? Yeah, four. I know it seems arrogant but aside from the occasional “OMG EVERYTHING I WRITE IS CRAP!” that ever writer experiences from time to time, I usually like what I’m writing and especially how I write ^^
2. Why do you write fanfiction? Bc I love exploring the universes and characters I love further. Ehy accept the canon as it is? ;D
3. What do you think makes your writing stand out from other works? Puuh, that’s a hard one? Maybe that I like to kill a bunch of characters? :D Naah, it’s probably the length of what I write. Once I get started I can’t seem to stop.
4. Are there any writers that inspire you? Since I study literature and read a bunch of books for it, absolutely. It can be any book from any author I read. But Arthur Conan Doyle inspires me a lot, Simon Beckett and Paulo Coelho.
5. What’s the fic you’re most proud of? My Professor Layton fanfic “The Cogs of Time” ^^
6. What element of writing do you find comes easily? The start. I hear a lot of people say this is the hardest and in some ways I agree with them. But I usually just start writing and go with the flow. Or I immediately have the beginning of a story/chapter in my mind once I start thinking about it.
7. What element of writing do you struggle with most? Writing believable dialogue between parents and their kids. I’m fine as long as the kids are little (let’s say up to 8, maybe 10), but then I’m stumped.
8. Which character(s) do you find easiest to write? Like in general or specific characters? I can write any characters as long as they are not parents. Then I have a bit of a problem.
9. Which character(s) do you find most difficult to write? Ah. Okay. Tying in with (7) here, parents (:
10. What’s your favorite genre to write for? To write for? Hm... probably adventure, crime fiction/detective fiction and Young Adult? I don’t know, I like a quite realistic approach that can and will take a dark turn.
11. Who or what do you find yourself writing about most? About the world. About what’s wrong. About relationships that took a wrong turn, about things that are almost right, about figure skating (big fan!), about growing up, about changing.
12. Tell us about a WIP you’re excited about. Currently, I’m absolutely excited about my Layton Brothers; Mystery Room fanfic “A Game of Murder”! I’m SO close to the ending and I can’t wait to solve the murder and finally reveal the killer! Everyone will hate me XD
13. First fandom you ever wrote for? Disney’s “Frozen”
14. What’s your favorite fandom to write for? That changes according to my current obsession. At the moment, my favourite fandoms are Professor Layton and Pokemon.
15. What’s the weirdest fandom you’ve ever written for? Weird in what way? I don’t believe in that concept, sorry :)
16. Any guilty pleasure trope(s)? Does murdering characters I and the audience love count? Then it’s that XD
17. A trope you’ll never, ever write for. Probably more of a genre but romance. If romance is the main plot/trope I’m off. If it is a sub plot that’s interesting AND supports the story in some way, I will take a look.
18. Wildest fic you’ve ever written? Probably also “Cogs of Time”. So much death in the end that no one expected, so much heartbreak. I admit, I indeed was a bit of an asshole with that last chapter XD
19. Do you prefer canon-compliant, AUs, or something in-between? I like giving the canon a little twist and AUs ^^
20. Gen fic or shippy stuff? Gen. If it’s shippy, then it’s usually just something short. Like I said, I’m not one for romance.
21. Favorite pairing to write for? (platonic or romantic!) That also depends on my current obsession. At the moment, that would be LayClaire and Lemmy (both romantic, both Professor Layton) and Lucifendi (platonic and romantic, Layton Brothers; Mystery Room). And any Pokemon couple for friendship ^^
22. Do you listen to anything while you write? MUSIC! Always!!
23. Do you prefer prompts and challenges, or completely independent ideas? independent ideas. But I often find myself including a line I’ve read as a prompt somewhere or making it the theme of a chapter.
24. One-shots or multi-chaptered works? Multi-chapter works.
25. Have you ever daydreamed about side adventures/spin-offs from your fic?Tell us about them! I have dreamt about my fics being movies or TV series, but spin-offs? If I want a spin-off I write it :D
26. Is there anything you’ve wanted to write, but you’ve been too scared to try? So far, nope. As Margaret Atwood once said, “The paper basket is your friend. It was invented for you by God.”
27. What’s the nicest comment you’ve ever received? Someone saying I made their day with my writing :) I love to make people happy!”
28. How well do you handle criticism when it comes to your writing? It does hurt but I know people want to help so I try to be open to it and look back into the part that was given critic.
29. Have you ever gone outside of your comfort zone for a fic? How did it turn out? I always do that when I have to write interaction between parents and older children. I always feel like it’s very stiff but my friends say it’s okay. Well.
30. Tooth-rotting fluff or merciless angst? MERCILESS ANGST ALL THE WAY.
31. Do you have any OCs? Tell us about them! Yep! I once created a Professor Layton OC whom was the dead (well, we never really got to know if she was indeed dead, she has just vanished) daughter of a character. She was instead just kidnapped by the criminal organisation her father was fighting and trained to be one of their soldiers. I never write the fanfic but it never left my mind. Might do that one day :)
32. Summarize a random fic of yours in 10 words or less. “Let’s play my favourite game. A game of murder.”
33. Is there anything you wish your audience knew about your writing or writing process? That I put as much effort in as I can to make it as good as possible fir you guys!! And that I usually do a lot of research and put the most effort into the tiniest things to make it realistic and add another layer to make it a shade darker ;D
34. Copy and paste an excerpt you’re particularly fond of. I’m really proud of this but it’s not a fanfic. I hope that’s okay. I can’t really think of one thing that I’m proud of bc there are many. It’ from the book I’m currently writing.
He let go of him so suddenly that the cold hit him like a brick. Mikhail gasped for air, needed a few seconds until he could open his eyes again. The view was heaven-sent. Vasja was standing above him, the gaze of his icy blue eyes troubled yet so piercing and captivating that Mikhail found himself sitting up without another thought as if someone had turned him into a puppet. At times, he felt as if Vasja was the great puppet master who made Mikhail’s entire world dance as he liked. And he loved dancing for Vasja. The gaze of his icy blue eyes contrasted with his ruby red hair which surrounded his face like a bloody halo; it made his snow white skin glow even more. He remembered the feeling of Vasja’s hair between his fingers, as soft as velvet, as clouds, as a mild breeze o fair on one oft he first days of spring. He reached out for Vasja but he was quick to grab the boy’s hands and place them low on his stomach. A shudder ran down Mikhail’s spine when he felt Vasja’s finger travel across his arms until they cupped his face. He lifted it so Mikhail had to look at him. „You know the rules, right, Micky?“
35. Ramble about any fic-related thing you want! Like, it’s so amazing?? You get millions of words for FREE and the authors don’t get ANYTHING but STILL we have this amazing community who keeps writing and reading and commenting... It’s just AWESOME!! I’m so glad I discovered fanfiction bc the community is so awesome and I always wanted to give some canons a good twist or just think of new things with characters I love!!

Since you did evens for evie, how about odds for velk? 👀
The Basics
1. Age, Birthday, Star Sign: 37 at game events, April 10th, Aries
3. Orientation and Relationship status (single, taken (by who?), crush (on who?)) Bi, has eyes for everybody pre-Redacted. Considers himself “on deck” bc he is a very, very patient boy while trying to figure out what Redacted thinks they are.
5. Height and Body type: 6′ 1″, lanky
7. Occupation
9. Hometown and current residence: Grew up in Seattle, lives in Rancho Coronado in a place overlooking the fallen ferris wheel bc that’s His Aesthetic.
11. Do they have any notable features, like horns, tails, or so on? Playing with the idea that some tech in his eyes makes his irises glow blue whenever he’s analyzing something but that might be Too Much.
13. Have any kids? He low key considers his younger siblings his kids, Val especially, but as far as actual kids, no, not yet, depends on how Redacted feels about the whole thing. Maybe they’ll find a kid in need and take him in, maybe they’ll work some surrogate stuff, maybe they’re happy without them.
15. Can they sing? Can they dance? He can barely sing, and as far as dancing skills, you know that archetype of clubgoer who’s like a 20 something guy just jumping around to the song to the music with next to no rhythm but if he tries dancing with you one on one he’s suddenly weirdly competent? That.
17 Can they fight? Absolutely. He didn’t make it to MaxTac for nothing. He’s extremely skilled with guns, and then growing up a Street Kid taught him how to scrap, too.
Interests
19. Hobbies: Hiking, exploring old ruins
21. Fave food(s) and drink(s): Hot dogs, pizza, Broseph Ale.
23. Fave Genre Action
25. City or Country? No preference.
Storytime
27. What’s their family like? Who’s in it? What’s their relationship with them? The siblings’ parents basically left them years ago and they’ve basically given up trying to find them, so him and his siblings are fairly tight, it’s a little strained between the two oldest and two youngest, but they try to make do.
29. What was childhood like? Lots of feeling abandoned and fending for himself and his siblings.
31. What’s their current main conflict? Feeling like he’s out of the loop enough that all of the game canon stuff is happening to Vance and Everlee and he feels like he can’t help them because they’re in over their heads and his.
33. How have they changed over time? He’s come a long way because he went from a super caring kid with a heart of gold to a teen/early 20 something who needed to try to man up/drop a lot of emotions so he could get a decent job/join MaxTac to get a decent salary, and then when MaxTac turned out to be a corrupt disaster and he fell from the ranks hard, he had to try to shift back into his younger self, which made him a little chaotic and have an immature streak. He’s working on finding a happy medium.
For Fun
35. What are they like as a friend? Would throw down and/or die for you in an instant, the Funny Friend who you can always depend on to cheer you up
37. Do they have any phobias? Fear of Abandonment
39. Your character walks into a cafe. What do they order? Black coffee and he pours all the sugar he can into it.
41. What’s their morning routine like? Roll over, check out what everybody is doing, go find a Person of Choice to hang out with them/see if they need anything.
bc I like this one better lets pretend this was 43: 44. What’s their pokemon team? Try to pick all 6. Poochyena, Mightyena, Houndour, Yamper, Growlithe, Typhlosion
45. Theme song (and a playlist if you’ve got it!) Can’t Hold Us - Macklemore and Ryan and Lewis
The Deep Lore™
47. What was this character’s biggest turning point in their life, something that changed them almost completely? Turning in his team in MaxTac for corruption. It backfired and cost him his job, and might have cost him his life had Stints not stepped in and told him to leave and keep his head down.
49. What are some themes tied to your character’s story? Perserverence
51. What were some inspirations for your character (people, movies, games)? “Tom Mison pretty and I need him as an OC one of these days.”
53. Expectations vs Reality: what did you expect and what did you get with this character? Haven’t gotten that far.
55. What’s your character’s core trait? What’s their best trait? What’s their worst trait? When happens when these all interact with each other? He’s resilient, but he looks before he leaps a lot which definitely proves to be a problem. Thankfully those traits don’t really interfere with each other.

Multimuse RP questions!
{{ I couldn’t figure out which RP blog to stick these on (since I have like. nine), so I figured I’d just skip to the Answering Part over here. =w=
Found here: https://memesfortheroleplayerssoul.tumblr.com/post/163688858676
is there a muse that you wish gets more attention?
Honestly? Dove. There are a couple of people who've said they love reading about her, and I'm so absolutely eternally delighted for them, too deeply appreciative for words! A couple friends I met via rping her, and a couple friends I met in Certain discord servers, but that's about it anymore. But she's my baby, you know? I love her, she's amazing, and I wish more people took the time to write stories with her, because she just has so much potential! I mean, yeah, for angst of course, but also for healing and comfort, for action and fantasy, for mystical and mundane plots alike. She's so multi-faceted and fascinating to explore, I just... well, maybe it's more selfish in that I need help exploring some of the more mundane stuff with her. Because if it doesn't really Have Relevance to a Particular Plot, I generally won't wind up writing it, let alone publishing it. :P But this answer's already too long; I could rave about Dove for hours! All I'm trying to say is, I wish more people cared about OCs.
if you HAD to choose, who’s your favorite muse?
Favorite to RP with? Far and away, Dove! Favorite for crack RPs, Srentha or Leyla. Favorite canon character is a GIGANTIC toss-up between Raven and Lapis. Favorite characters to explore for personal reasons are Ryou Bakura and Blue Diamond, but I have a hard time bringing myself to actually WRITE about them, for some reason...
is there a muse that not a lot of people roleplay with?
(Besides the ones I haven't advertised? ^^';;) Maybe Phobia? She has only ever existed in comic canons-- though she WAS in the Teen Titans Go comics too! (The original series, not the... bastardization). Anyways, she's a much lesser-known muse. And my muse for her is wildly unreliable, she's a volatile and abrasive character, and my inspiration for her has run dry for awhile now...
if you HAD to choose, who’s your least favorite muse?
Phobia. o_o See above, actually.
which one of your muses have you been playing the longest?
Prooobably Dove? She was the one I started rping with, of course!
which one of your muses has the most ships?
Ships in their canon, or ships in my rps? Because you're talking to a demigray here; I don't really do romance? But in my stories, Dove has 3 ships (all at different times in her life). In rps, Dove has been kinda-contemplating-it shipped a couple times, but never got to the point of, you know, kissing... and in fandom, Lapis probably has the most.
what is each of your muses’ otps? notps?
~ Dove and Srentha together~ (Don't have notps for them.)
~ Kary: food? sleep? Her canon boyfriend Eric
~ Leyla has a qpp named Toby in the stories.
~ Raven: I'm demonbirds trash. I don't even know how that happened, honestly. (Notps include B|BRae and, while not as strong of a NO in the jlvtt canon, ter/raven.)
~ Lapis Lazuli: OTP with Peridot! Intensely notp with jasper.
~ Blue Diamond: OTP with Yellow hardcore, no notps to speak of.
~ Phobia: Utterly unexplored??? I think she voluntarily abstains.
~ Ryou: OTP with Joey (thank my girlfriend for that one)! Notp with Yami Bakura, it’s absolutely 100% possibly my most violently-disgusted NOtp yet. Also with Diva because... What The Fuck??? But I won't rant about that just now.
~ Jess: I haven't really done much shipping, though Mistress and Trick are a hella canon, deeply bonded breeding couple.
~ Evangeline? Sorta-OTP with my gf's character Taex, though it's not exactly a ~romantic~ dynamic. Notp with Srentha, probably, considering she'd try to kill him, given the chance, and she’s pissed at Dove for marrying him.
why were you drawn to each one of your characters?
Okay, listen, you can't just ask something like this and expect an easy answer! I could write an Actual Legitimate Essay on EACH ONE, because I only write a character when I'm Extremely Highkey Personally Emotionally Inspired by them!
UPDATE: I tried to summarize, I really did! But there's just so MUCH, and it turned into an essay on its own. --> https://beyondthetemples-ooc.tumblr.com/post/189837029682/why-were-you-drawn-to-each-one-of-your-characters
Summaries go like this: Dove is brave, complex enough to delve deeply in and constantly discover new facets of, and inspiring enough to create a positive experience while doing so. Srentha is fun, positive, and passionate, and legitimate ADHD representation. Leyla is a chill miracle child of creativity and quiet passion. Raven is the reason I'm still alive and perfectly reflected me at about age 14, so I have a very deep personal connection to her. Kary is so fun to explore because she's my polar opposite, as a temperamental pyrokinetic who revels in chaos and really just wants to have a good time. Evangeline is everything Dove suppresses, brought to life, so she's fun to explore as an extension of Dove! Lapis has a lot of struggles to explore and has done a lot of healing and growth that I'd like to expand on someday. Blue Diamond and Ryou Bakura were basically literally me, so I can explore the trauma and healing from their perspectives in a safe space. And Phobia? I just wanted to put characters' mettle to the test honestly, and see what would happen.
which muse is the most fun to write for?
Oh, Srentha, absolutely hands down! Dove does have the best close-friends casual-fun kind of rp relationships, though. And Mistress the Mismagius has this sardonic teasing sense of humor that always makes me smile, especially with Murky (Murkrow).
is there another muse you’ve been thinking of adding or writing for? who?
Oh stars, I don't need another one. =w= I've been... struggling to get my Ryou blog actually up and running for a long while now. Nobody new has inspired me lately, but I'm pretty stuck in my fandom ways.
what is something everyone should know about your muses before interacting?
I stick it all in their bios! But, let's see... Dove: Even though she's Raven's half-sister, she keeps it DESPERATELY hidden, and nobody IC is supposed to know about that. Srentha is very deeply rooted in Azarathean pacifism and won't do much in battle besides help people retreat. Leyla has her father's heart condition and can't do anything too active. Kary will rarely use her powers, as conjuring even a simple spark stings her scar badly. Lapis is more than her toxic relationship! Blue Diamond is NOT the dictator she once was! Ryou does NOT want the spirit of the millennium ring in his life anymore! Jess just... sticks mostly to Sinnoh and rarely ever leaves. And Evangeline has a palpable evil aura about her; she makes SURE of it.
what’s a weird headcanon you have for each of your muses?
Dove hates pie. Srentha loves colorful things. Leyla will cover everything in glitter if you let her. Kary will do anything for some good food and/or a nap. Ryou's hair is untamable. Lapis doesn't guard her gem as carefully as she should. Blue Diamond may be more emotional, but she won't sing about it as frequently as other Gems. Raven... doesn't wear underwear?
which muse has the most aus or verses?
I mean, the Lapis I was writing for was 97% canon divergent. Evangeline only exists as her own person (and not merely a partition of Dove's mind) in a DCUO-compatible timeline. But I don't really do aus or verses otherwise; it's just more stressful for me.
can you sort your muses from youngest to oldest?
Sorting based on the ages I'll generally play them: Leyla (8-14), Dove (15-25), Kary (18+), Ryou (19+), Srentha (20+), Jess (22+), Phobia (23+), Lapis (5k+), Blue Diamond (10k+).
which muse is most willing to fight another muse?
Oh, definitely Kary. (She won't fight Dove or Leyla, even if there's a really good reason. And Srentha has this weird power of defusing her. But anyone else, she can easily be provoked to fight on a dime.) Or maybe Evangeline, who will fight anyone at any time for any reason whatsoever?
do your muses get along with each other?
Evangeline gets along with nobody. Dove/Srentha/Leyla are all a very tight-knit family, and Kary considers herself Dove's sister and Leyla's aunt. I've thought about what might happen if Lapis met Blue Diamond, but I don’t have the faintest idea of how that'd go? I did start an RP once where Lapis met Dove, and I planned to have them bond over homesickness and purpose-seeking, but then I lost the ehd I had that prewritten on, and never had the heart to try rewriting it. Ryou and Jess kinda exist in their own universe's bubble. (Jess has a whole cast of Pokemon creature muses she very much gets along with, though~)
would you ship any of your muses together? who?
Dove and Srentha are hella-canon endgame already, that's been decided for like 12 years!
for each muse, is there a character you wish had a blog so you could interact with them?
You know, I've never really been one much for wishing like that. I do wish Dove had a stable Raven again, since both of my all-time favorite Raven rpers have left the rp circle... but that's about it, really.
have you ever considered making a multimuse/is it easier having a multimuse?
I mean, my Pokemon blog has like 19 muses built into the breeding center... 8F But no, I prefer to keep my drafts, rps, and tag systems for each muse on separate sideblogs. Tumblr's tags break WAY too often to shove them all in one place. (And with a sideblog, I don't have to log in and out every time I want to check for replies!)
which muse is the most problematic towards other muses?
Toss-up between Phobia and Evangeline, obviously. Blue Diamond is a reformed Gem, the way I play her. (I don't care what anyone says, THAT'S CANON as HELL too!) But Evangeline actively goes out of her way to hurt and/or sacrifice people to her own ends,
which muse is most likely to make new friends?
Probably Leyla, though now that SU has sent out a message across the Gem universe that Gems are welcome on Earth, Lapis could wind up meeting quite a lot of new acquaintances. It's much harder to befriend her, though. Srentha has a lot of charismatic energy too, and he’ll go out and make friends with anyone, given the chance.
which muses’ fandom do you like the best?
Ahhh, don't make me CHOOSE like that! ;; Fandom like being a fan of them, or fandom like, liking the other people in the fandom? Because Steven Universe, Teen Titans, and YuGiOh all have incredibly special places in my heart, while having Their Issues amongst the fandom... Pokemon seems to be the best mannered fandom though, especially amidst the RP community.
is there someone playing the same muse/s as you and you really look up to them?
Ohgosh, well there's a blog called, I think, melancholeyes?, that plays Blue so well, it's like reading canon scenes. I did see a blog that played a Ryou I respected, but I can't remember their name... and of course Larissa and Pix played great Ravens, but each a different version.
which muse do people send the most asks for?
Probably Dove, thanks in large part to Caleb!
which muse is most likely to have kids?
Leyla is already Dove's kid, so... 8F
is there a rule that someone keeps breaking for your muses?
Not to my knowledge, but my rules aren't strict anyways.
can you sort your muses from weakest to strongest?
...Oh, stars. How am I supposed to sort them? Well, let's try this.
Weakest to strongest in combat (based on their style of choice): Ryou, Leyla, Srentha, Phobia, Evangeline, Jess, Kary, Dove, Lapis, Blue Diamond, Raven.
( * i switched raven and blue diamond around SO many times. both are immensely powerful with god-like abilities, but raven can literally destroy reality itself. so...)
Weakest to strongest by strength of heart and character: Phobia, Evangeline, uh... Kary? Srentha...? Uh... frICK THIS ONE'S HARD. Because they're all so strong in their own ways. Probably Leyla? Next tier is probably Blue, Lapis, and Jess, and Dove, Raven, and Ryou are highest tier.
which muse are you considering deleting?
Phobia, and maybe sometimes Blue. (I actually... never got a single RP or follower on Blue. I'm still debating if I really WANT to rp as her, at least on Tumblr, knowing how toxic the fandom can get around the Diamonds...)
most importantly, are you having fun playing each one of your muses?
Pretty much! Especially Dove, Srentha, Leyla, and Raven!~ Raven's wit and clipped verbiage can be tricky to for me sometimes, but all it takes is a little tlc on her dialogue, and it doesn't slow down my enjoyment one bit. :} And when I'm in a Pokemon-hyperfocus mood, writing the Pokemon team is ALWAYS a blast! (Especially the Pokemon; their personalities are so dynamic together.) With muses like Lapis and Blue, and even Kary, the mood for their emotionality waxes and wanes, but I don't write for them unless I'm in The Right Frame of Mind to KEEP UP with them, you know? I never push myself in an rp until it's not fun anymore; at least I know where my writing burnout limits are.
Phobia and Evangeline are both sadistic, and when you're a compassionate person, that can be very hard to write out in the painstaking detail of my style. But sometimes my mind just Won't Shut UP about 'Vangie unless I WRITE IT OUT. Which is a good exercise of course, stretching my horizons and all that, and I do love writing the drama and conflict they stir up.
But beyond the momentary discomforts, I'm just so eager to explore their lives and minds and adventures, so yes, I absolutely DO have fun writing for each and every one!

Blog FAQ
Figured I would set one of these up this time around! If I make any additions or edits to this I’ll make a post letting you guys know!
You’ve said “Terra” is just the name you go by online, so can we know your real name?
Simply put? No. My real name is incredibly unique and I would rather keep my online life and real life as separate as I can since where I live, fic writing is largely frowned upon. Also, I’m probably going to explain this bad, but I was told if I wanted to get published I’d have to delete all my fics or write under a different name so there was no crossover between the two. I choose instead to write my fic under a different name to save myself some trouble later on. To those that have learned my real name, I ask that you please don’t spread it around.
What is your general activity like on this blog?
Well last November I started a job where I work a standard 40 hour week. I’m generally away from home from 11am to about 9pm 5 days a week. I do have a pretty set schedule, so for now I’m always off Mondays and Fridays. This blog isn’t my main one, so the only times I’m online and able to check it, is when I’m at home and on my laptop. So except for the days that I’m off, I’ll likely only ever be online in the evenings. If I go to post a work, I’ll likely always schedule it to post between 12 and 1pm the following day.
What is your timezone?
I live in, and operate out of US Central Time. If you don’t quite know how much to add/subtract, the United states is divided into 4 timezones: Eastern time is one hour ahead of me, Mountain Time is one hour behind, and Pacific Time is 2 hours behind me. I don’t quite know how to calculate it for overseas timezones but if people send in the calculations for their timezone I can always edit them in here.
What is your uploading schedule like?
I can’t really say I have one. Every time I’ve tried to keep to one It hasn’t always worked out for me for some reason or another.
How does your tagging system operate?
I always try to keep the tags as relevant and to the point as possible, since tumblr has a limited amount of tags you can add to a post. Here is a small list of what I will tag:
Characters with a significant relevance/presence to the current plot. I might not tag certain characters if they show up in a work if their plot relevance was minor/they only spoke like once in the entire thing to save space.
The fandom
The type of work (Headcanon, ask game, etc. This might be combined with he above bullet point ex: “mha headcanons”)
if the work is fluff, angst, nsfw. Side note, my nsfw tag for this blog will be the word “sin” so works would be tagged with “mha sin” or “haikyuu sin” and things like that.
If the work is part of a series, I will tag the name of it.
If the work involves any oc’s of mine, I will tag their name like I would any other character.
If I reblog a work from someone else, I will try to include all the tags they used as well as what type of work it is, such as “AU,” “reader insert,” “oc story,” etc. Reblogged works will always contain the tag “other people’s writing”
I will always try to tag trigger warnings/any potential triggering content. However, if I run out of space in the tags, all potentially triggering content will always be listed at the top of the work in bold. And all content of the work will always be below a “read more.” If there is anything you want me to tag/list at the top of my work. Please DM or send in an ask letting me know what content you want me to provide additional warnings for. I will never purposefully not tag a trigger, so if a work I’ve posted is missing a tag, please notify me as soon as you notice it so I can add it!
Writing will always be tagged with “terra writes” while almost every other kind of post will be tagged with “terra says.” This includes asks, announcements, updates, etc. I don’t recommend blacklisting the “terra says” tag, but most of the time other types of posts will be tagged with an additional secondary tag (update time, answered asks, poll time) So if you don’t want to see specific types of posts like polls, I would recommend blacklisting the “poll time” tag instead of the “terra says” tag.
You didn’t tag x trigger in your story/Can you please tag x in stories going forward?
Of course! If I forgot to tag something/tagged something wrong, please notify me! I often use the New X-Kit tag bundle extension and don’t always remember to delete a tag or include one. I’m only human and am prone to making mistakes even when trying to be as diligent as possible! I am also aware that people can have very different triggers, and I’m not always aware of what may or may not be a trigger. So if there’s something you want me to tag, send me an ask! I’ll always tag thins as “cw: <insert trigger>”
Also please don’t ever assume I’m purposefully not tagging a trigger. Sometimes I genuinely miss putting the tag in/didn’t know the story needed it included.
Do you have a tag list?
Not currently! If you’re interested in being added please feel free to send me an ask or IM letting me know if you just wanted to be tagged in stuff involving a certain character, fandom, type of writing (drabble/headcanon), or series or any combination. I’ll keep a list in my drafts of the usernames and what you want to be tagged in. If you ever want to be removed, you’ll have to send me an ask letting me know.
What fandoms are you in?/What fandoms will you write for?
You can find a complete list of fandoms that I will write for here!
However, there are a few other fandoms I’m in that I just don’t feel like writing for. Those include: DC comics (mainly Young Justice), Pokemon, and Attack on Titan. I’m probably forgetting some, so I’ll update this list as I remember them. If you want to know if I’m in a fandom/will write for one, please send me an ask!
Do you write m/m, w/w, nonbinary, different ethnicities, etc?
Yes! If I’m writing a reader-insert story, I always try to keep the reader as gender-neutral and vague as possible unless something is specifically ask of me in the request itself. However to some degree I take liberties with the background of the reader. I will often make up a family situation, living arrangement etc. Again if there is anything specific about the reader you want me to include, please let me know.
In the case of sin, I always default to a female gender/parts since that is what I am most familiar with. If you would like it to be non-specified/male parts/etc. you will need to tell me in the request itself.
Can I get a shout out?
You can! There’s absolutely 0 things wrong with asking for one and don’t let other people make you feel like shit for it. I know it can be hard starting a blog and getting your name out there, especially after the most recent updates which make it even harder for works to show up in the tumblr search function. This is why reblogging people’s works is even more important now than it had been in the past. I’m more than willing to give your blog a shout out if you need it! Feel free to send me an ask off anon from the blog, send an IM so I can make a post with the blog’s name, or even just ask me to reblog a story I liked from your blog.
Do you have any Fic/Blog recs?
I’m pretty terrible about having the time to go and read as much fic as I used to be able to do, so I can’t really promote many other blogs than one’s I’ve already been following for a while/blogs of friends. Maybe one day that will change and I hope it does but as of right now I don’t think I’d be able to put together a very good list for people.
Do you write Dark Content?
I do not! However, this doesn’t mean I’m on a crusade against writers that do. As long as the people who write content like that keep everything tagged so that people who don’t want to read it, can skip over it, I literally do not care what they write about. But on a personal level, I do not want to write content like that, so I will not write or reblog dark content works on this blog.
If any dark content blog want to interact with my blog/works, they can do so. Just because I choose not to engage in dark content does not mean I am going to bar people that do from reading/interacting with my works if they enjoy it. I do ask that any dark content writers don’t reblog/reply to any nsfw posts of mine and add dark content to them.

Spotless
Ding dang thing needed a title bc of how long it ended up being
I’ll work on the rest tomorrow and the days after, but this is all I could do today, sorry! My writing process for now is just dragging myself through it two paragraphs at a time, but I’m working on it
Oh, it ended up with some bonding alright! Two tall idiots alone in a big house bc they’re totally not friends
OC blog is @menagerie-of-morons
Prompt: “Walk it off.”
Characters: Anraí, Marvin
Setting: Rivals AU
Word count: 2.2k
Warnings: blood, minor injury (neither in detail)
It’s only by mere coincidence that one afternoon Marvin and Anraí wind up being the only two people home. Not like Marvin cares. He doesn’t! He’s not going to interact with this weird…demon…thing…whatever Anraí is as long as he doesn’t absolutely have to, and there’s that. He might not agree with keeping such a dangerous person just loose in their house, he might not like him at all personally, but he does have plenty of experience pretending a big problem is not there, and he can definitely apply that to Anraí.
As long as Anraí stays out of his business too, they’ll do just fine.
He does have to bite his tongue when he walks into the kitchen looking for a drink and finds Anraí already there, doing…something. He doesn’t particularly care to pay any attention to what exactly he’s doing. He just breathes in, breathes out, reminds himself that the kitchen is common territory and his friends would disown him if he acted hostile towards their new resident for no reason, and he makes his way to the fridge.
When he does spare Anraí a glance, emerging from the fridge with half a carton of apricot juice, he sees what he considers immediate proof that the demon should be banned from the kitchen indefinitely. He witnesses Anraí trying to figure out how to cut an apple with quite possibly the biggest knife in the whole house. Additionally, it seems like he knows fuck all about how to safely handle anything sharper than a cucumber.
And somehow the sight of a lanky, unfairly tall and positively demonic person apparently not knowing how knives work makes Marvin laugh. “What the fuck are you doing?” he asks, laughter in his voice, and maybe it comes out a little too loud, because Anraí startles and jumps and…
…he flails the knife…
…in such a way and with such speed no one, especially not him…
…ever should.
The knife clatters to the ground as the hand that had been holding it flies to hold Anraí’s other arm instead. Anraí hisses in some definitely not at all human way, his ears pinned back against his head. His tail lashes behind him wildly, and it’s a good thing there’s nothing for him to knock over.
His arm is bleeding.
It’s like Marvin has an angel and a devil sitting on his shoulders, because his two immediate thoughts are “help him” and “what the fuck, he’s gonna get blood all over the white floor!” Which is fair, because he personally has also gotten blood on a lot of white things before and knows how stupid hard it is to get out, but still. Mean.
But the tiny angel wins, because despite everything, Marvin isn’t heartless, thank you very much. So he puts the juice box on the counter and steps closer.
Anraí doesn’t pay attention to him until he gets close, but he also doesn’t seem like he’s going to bite his arm off any second, so that’s a plus. The lashing of his tail slows to a much more leisurely sway, and slowly his ears perk up. After his initial fright it seems like he doesn’t care much for the pain as much as he does for his mild curiosity over “huh, apparently I am bleeding.”
Finally, Marvin breaks the silence. “You okay?”
Anraí immediately turns to look at him, but instead of the snarl that Marvin had expected, there’s just a stupid grin on his face. “Nah, man, look! I made a hole in my arm!”
He seems awfully cheery about it.
“Walk it off,” Marvin snorts and turns on his heal, and there’s that. He picks up his drink on the way out and just fumes to himself. Why would he ever show compassion for this? There was clearly nothing wrong! He’s just as stupidly annoying as he’d always thought!
He ignores the smug voice in the back of his mind telling him that the last time he lived in the same house with someone and insisted on calling them annoying, that someone became his boyfriend.
Marvin shuts himself in his room with his apricot juice, a pokemon game and his completely silent headphones because he has a habit of forgetting to actually turn on the music for a solid hour. He tries to drown his unwanted guilt over leaving a bleeding dumbass demon in the kitchen by grinding his whole team up for the next gym, even though he’ll only use like three pokemon to beat it.
Even if he had music going, he’d probably hear the deafening crash from down the hall.
He kicks himself off the bed while rolling his eyes, because damn it, it hasn’t even been half an hour. But alas, he has to check what the fuck is going on this time, because if Anraí destroyed someone’s stuff he should probably help him fix it.
He opens half a dozen doors before he finds the right one, because the noise was a one-time thing and sound travels weird in this house anyway. Probably thanks to all the magical augmentation and extra rooms and all that. But he finally gets to the right door and finds himself standing in the bathroom, watching Anraí trying to pick up ten things at once from the floor with only one hand, unaware of Marvin’s presence.
“What the fuck did you do this time?”
He finds it absolutely hilarious how Anraí’s tail straightens in alarm like some sort of cartoon cat’s. “Nothing!” he claims, and if the giant mess around him (no doubt originating from the open cabinet behind him) didn’t make it obvious enough that that’s a lie, his tone and volume alone definitely would do the job. He straightens and most of the stuff falls from his hand, but he just looks at them with disappointment instead of trying to catch them.
“Yeah, sure,” Marvin grins, and he steps closer but does nothing to help. This is amusing for now, so he’ll wait it out. He won’t bend his back until he needs to.
“Shut up! You can just,” he vaguely waves the single toothbrush still in his hand in Marvin’s general direction. “Fuck off or something, I don’t know. I’ll clean this up, I know you don’t wanna help.” With that, he leans back down and picks up a box of q-tips by the edge of it, and it bounces dangerously in his hand as he lifts it. His other hand is still yet to join the action, and glancing at it Marvin sees it curled against his stomach, the cut on it scabbed over already despite its size. Weird.
“Stop being a big baby,” Marvin sighs, and without leaving room for protests leans down and picks up twice as many items as Anraí could ever hope to at once. “I should probably keep you from destroying the bathroom, so here. I doubt you even know where most of these go, anyway. Or what they are.”
“You being right about any of those things means literally nothing in this argument.”
Marvin grins, and he takes the box of q-tips from him after putting away all the items in his own hands with ease. “Sounds like something someone losing the argument would say.”
They keep up the surprisingly tame banter while they clean, and they make quick work of putting away everything that’s fallen off the shelf Anraí has managed to dislodge somehow. By some miracle nothing seems to be broken either. Marvin refuses to acknowledge how much their back-and-forth reminds him of the way him, Jackie and Chase would gently bicker with each other over literally anything.
Marvin glances over the once again organised shelf one last time, but he doesn’t close the door of the cabinet. His voice sounds light, almost cheerful when he speaks, like for a moment he’d managed to forget who he’s talking to, or how much he claims he doesn’t like him. “What the fuck were you trying to do anyway?”
“…bandages?”
Marvin’s eyes immediately jump to Anraí’s injured arm, still held against his stomach for safekeeping. “Oh,” and, without thinking, he asks: “Does it hurt?”
“A bit?” he shrugs, and he genuinely doesn’t seem bothered. His whole posture looks relaxed, ears twitching to follow sounds and his tail swaying languidly behind him. Marvin assesses that he sees no signs of pain before he even realises that he’s looking for them. “I mostly just don’t want it to open again. It’s messy.”
Marvin nods. “Understandable,” and turns back towards the cabinet, and closes it. The bandages (some of them, at least) are under the sink, and he makes sure Anraí sees that as he fishes out a roll of them and unrolls a bit of it to see if it’s the right size. “Stephen will be able to do some proper shit for you when he gets home, but I can wrap it up to keep it safe until then. I’d rather not bother with tape and gauze if it’s gonna be undone in an hour or two anyway, if that’s okay.”
“Yeah, yeah, that’s fine,” Anraí nods, a little confused. On the one hand, he doesn’t trust this sudden politeness of Marvin’s. On the other hand, he welcomes it. He obediently sits on the edge of the bath tub when he’s told to and tries not to kick his feet too much. For a little while he watches as Marvin slowly wraps the bandage around his arm in silence, but it doesn’t last long. “Why are you being nice to me now?”
“Because if I let you bleed out, it’s bad for the carpet,” Marvin deadpans without looking up from his work. “Also, Jackie will murder me if I’m not at least a little nice to you.”
Anraí snorts. “I’d love to see that happen, actually.”
“Well, I don’t. Wanting to murder your partner is such a straight people thing, so…yeah, no thanks.”
Now at that, Anraí properly laughs. “I wish I could relate to that, but alas…”
“Oh, be glad you can’t!” Marvin looks up at him and grimaces and wow, he looks ridiculous. But also like someone who doesn’t want to punt his ass through the window in the next ten minutes, which is actually quite the nice change. “Straight people can be insufferable sometimes!”
“So can you…”
“You think that because you’ve never met an insufferable straight person before. When you do, you’ll be missing me!”
Anraí laughs again, and maybe he’s more giggly than the situation would warrant, but fuck it. This is the first time he feels like Marvin doesn’t utterly hate him, and maybe he’s starting to see some of what the others see in him that’s worth all this fondness they have for him. He definitely seems to have a sense of humour that lines right up with Anraí’s own when he’s not using it to snark him out of the solar system.
Staying crouched next to the tub, Marvin waits until Anraí notices that his arm is done being bandaged now.
When he does notice, his face falls in surprise for a second, but then his ears flick upwards and he grins again. “Thanks!” He stands, and that pressures Marvin to stand too because wow, he’s not going to be out-heighted by that much!
“Yeah, yeah, you’re welcome,” he waves his hand through the air and heads for the door. Anraí can follow if he’d like, but he’s sure as hell not going to show any indication that maybe he wouldn’t super mind if he did. “Anyway, have you ever actually cleaned up the mess you made in the kitchen?”
“Uhh...” he trails off and doesn’t look at Marvin. His tail is suspiciously still behind his legs. “Somewhat?”
Marvin sighs. “Okay, what did you do?”
“Wiped it up? Listen, I don’t know how to handle this stuff!” he waves his hands around to emphasise whatever his point is, and his tail goes comically straight again. “It’s red and it’s dark and it’s sticky! It’s still just…smudged everywhere…”
“Okay, okay,” Marvin stands in the doorway, and now he’s clearly expecting Anraí to follow him. “Getting blood off the tiles isn’t hard, so come on, let’s do it. One day I’m gonna have to show you how to get it out of clothes though, and that’s a lot harder. I’ve gotten blood out of white underwear before, this is nothing.”
For a moment, Anraí doesn’t move to follow him. One of his ears flicks in confusion. “Were you…murdering people…in your underwear?”
“Sadly, no,” now that he thinks about it – do demons know what periods are?
“Oh, oh! Right, you humans have your…thingies,” he waves a hand in the air, and it’s clear he’s just forgetting the word. It’s also clear that apparently no, demons have very little idea of what periods are.
“Yeah, they’re bullshit,” he shrugs, and he doesn’t plan to hold up this tangent any longer. He pushes off against the doorframe and starts walking down the hallway. “Now come on!” he calls back. “Time to mop up some blood!”
“That sounds…awfully ominous.”
Marvin laughs. “Oh, it does, doesn’t it?”
