Though chastising his reply may be, he means it to not be so. His response comes from a place of concern, that of a ruler who may have once been in a position like that himself. But he's not trying to scare her, of course not ! But sometimes things in this manner could be fighting.

What would prevent you from following someone?

i pay quite a bit of attention the mun’s voice when reading rules / pages . some people just come off as extremely aggressive / controlling, and it puts me off from following sometimes !  things like : do not follow and block me immediately if you are abc-phobic and support defg-isms ; it’s irritating when i see too much ooc / photos / literally anything apart from your replies ; i will unfollow n block you if you don’t attempt to approach me within a week and DONT try to contact me asking why i unfollowed you …

i certainly don’t want to interact sexist / racist / lgbtqphobic people myself . in an ideal world,  i would also want to interact with all 100+ of my mutuals on the regular and have them approach me within a week of following me - like wouldn’t that be convenient ?? but in reality , people have their own obligations n priorities. people grow up in diff backgrounds n might not have the exact same viewpoints as u. like. idk,, it just comes off as intolerant and disrespectful.  i dont want to feel like i’m walking on eggshells whenever i log in or make a post.

Are aesthetics important to you? If they are, why?

honestly… no !!! as long as the chara is interesting n there is quality writing i don’t mind if a blog is default tumble theme w no aesthetics or post formats at all  ( w the exception cutting posts and uniform icons ! )  as long as the blog format is consistent n readable i will give any blog a fair shot i think !!  ‘:/c

What current rp trend do you hate?

i honestly rly dislike the dashboard blog thing. i know its hypocritical of me to say this bc i also succumbed to the trend but like. but it makes things so hard to access ,  esp if i want to like, edit or add tags to an old post i have to use mass editor and can’t just edit via permalink rip  ( maybe there’s a way of doing it and im just big dumb who knows )

Do you prefer interacting with male muses or female more? Why?

i dont rly have a preference w muse gender ??? :/c  i honestly follow whoever i find interesting n like,  write w whoever wants to write w me lol .  but i do think female muses approach meph more often - idk if its bc of the distribution of female to male muses on tumble or smth ?? but this happens w so many of my muses - idk if its how i write them or how i come across as a person or smth but like . yeah. orz.

Have you ever had a bad experience with commissions? As either someone who makes them or as someone who buys them?

actually nooo ???? i’ve never bought or made a commission from / for anyone in my life so .. sfkafa i am completely indifferent on this subject.

Have you been involved in drama? Do you regret it?

ive never been in drama ?? i dont think?  i feel like i generally am quite soft spoken n genial on tumblr dash bc im . weary about projecting my views ,,,,

but well, i used to know sb who was caught up in clique drama and they would constantly badmouth abt other users to me . i didn’t know how to outright tell them i wasn’t interested in hearing it,, but yeah we kinda stopped talking after that.

Have you ever felt pressured to write something you weren’t comfortable with?

slightly ???  i have had ppl push ship ideas onto me real strongly . i’m not against ships but they’d come to me w a preconception of who my muse is …  esp w canon muses … its not exactly a huge deal bc i get that ppl are excited to plot n ship characters,  but like .  yeah i have.  i’m not  …  great at refusing people hskfjdfa

What would make you block someone?

idk i’ve never actually blocked anyone  ( lol asides from p.orn bots ) . unfollowing  +  steadfastly ignoring them  usually does the trick for me.  shdfksdjfa

What’s one thing that other people seem to hate that doesn’t bother you?

well. this is a bit controversial …. but i feel like ppl are. too sensitive abt whitewashing ?? like i understand that there’s a problem if icons are deliberately edited to lighten skin tone or if a mun straight up erases the character’s racial identity , but some ppl just use pack psds n when the icons are like. two hexes off from their orig skin tone n people accuse them of bein racist and stuff. like . yeah ok,  maybe it was a poor judgement on the mun’s part ,  but labelling them a racist is just . not cool.

like damn. there are actual people out there suffering from the impact of racism ! victims who have been denied entry n detained at borders, subjected to police brutality, denied their rights to expression n respect in the workplace ,,,,,  like open your eyes,  putting a tinted psd over a picture or wtv is NOT racism oh my god. trying to claim that this falls into the same category ultimately trivialises the issue imo .

hey um if you don't mind me asking but how do you get ingame screenshots?

Theres multiple ways to to do it. For squids refs, you basically make your squid in the squid editor and equip the gear. Rotate to the angle you want ((you can switch back and forth on the little gear pieces so your squid stays standing straight and stops looking around)) and hold the little home button on your wii u. You’ll see the icon for miiverse on there and when miiverse loads you’ll see like this kinda screen ((this is 3ds but its pretty similar on wiiu))

See that save to screenshot album just save it on there and you should end up with your screen shot on miiverse (( just remember ya can only have 100)) 

Now once its on miiverse you can access your screenshot album on the miiverse website on your computer or whatever you’re using to merge everything. Now miiverse has a specific file type when you save so you’ll have to use an art program to change the original file type to jpg or png to crop them, edit ect. 

just crop out your squid from each image and then resize to fit the other refs sizing so theyre all one size file and merge them so its not so big a file. You should end up with something like this

I like to include the weapons a bit on some of them so  i can see how they look too but ya dont have to if you’re just lookin for gear reference. 

If you’re looking for actual in gameplay references you’re gonna have to get a video capture card that allows you to take screen shots cause you cannot open miiverse during matches. I have one thats pretty small but it works great for recording all my failures in matches 10/10 and you can stop midframe and take screenshots from the frames like this one

only thing that sucks is ya gotta have it hooked up to your laptop for it to work and the cable is small and also it slows your pc down hella a lot rip but ya get decent in game shots if ya need map layouts or if you’re like me and like to record yourself dying a bunch (rip viper) hope that helps, just make sure ya have a lot of time on your hands cause they do take longer than you would think to make unfortunately especially if you have pretty bad connection miiverse will take what feels like decades to load one screenshot
