✩ How I Run My Blog! ✩

Speed: 

Slow As Hell, for the most part. True, there are times when I yeet replies out because me and/or my muse are ridiculously invested in a thread, or inspiration instantly strikes. However, my default tends to be Really Slow. Something I try to make prominent to everyone since I understand some people prefer to not wait months at a time for a response- which is something I often end up doing. For a variety of reasons: be it because muses are fickle, it tends to take hours at a time for me to craft replies, I literally have hundreds of threads... As a result of this, I don’t drop threads too often either? Usually, they're lingering in my drafts, and it isn’t uncommon for a hella old one to suddenly be thrust onto the dash.

Of course, I never expect people to reply to Old Threads if they don’t want to, and don’t mind either way! I just like offering a response so I didn’t just abruptly drop it. :3 But yeah, I am a very slow roleplayer and while I hope my writing is decent enough to be worth the wait, I’ve had experience interacting with others who obviously prefer things to be quick and constant. Which I am not. Not delving into THOSE experiences because yeah- They weren’t the best. lol But I just want to make it clear that my speed does not equate my interest in a thread or in interacting with others. I am just a hella slow person who wants to write about birbs. 

Replies: 

My replies tend to get L O N G. I am not adept at short threads, and even ones that start out as really small back-and-forth replies are pretty much guaranteed to get longer on my side within a few responses. My muses like to get introspective and I like to get descriptive- I’m talking several paragraphs before they start to talk or even get to the point where they aren’t thinking-about/reacting-to whatever your muse did in the last reply. XD I’ve noticed that my average seems to be three-to-five paragraphs, but it isn’t uncommon for me to break the double-digits at times. Of course, I never expect my partners to match length and as long as I’m given more than a couple sentences in return, it’s all good. 

Starters: 

Whenever I add a new muse, I often post a Starter Call for them. They tend to vary in length, but are often two-to-three paragraphs long because I’ve tried to make single sentence ones and it never seems to work out. Occasionally, I’ll throw out random Open Starters when inspiration or a random idea strikes. These starters are free for as many people to respond to as they want, and are ALWAYS open regardless of how long ago I posted them.  

Inbox: 

My Inbox is always open and I am constantly reblogging RP and Ask memes for it. However, again I shall bring up my Turtle-Like speed because my asks do tend to snowball. Right now I have 966 asks, so it’s no surprise that sometimes they can get lost in the pile. But I have a habit of answering random ones whenever threads aren’t working or I’m in a mood for something specific that a reply won’t give, so that’s why I continuously reblog things. I like having a healthy stash of stuff to answer when needed. So don’t be surprised if an ask you forgot you even sent is suddenly popping up onto the dash. XD 

Selectivity: 

I am semi-selective, meaning that while I am willing to RP with people I am not technically mutuals with, I won’t RP with everyone. I’m not trying to discourage people from approaching or make anyone feel poorly, there are just certain writing styles that I tend to gravitate towards and click more easily with. For example, if I notice that someone’s blog is filled with a surplus of one-liner back-and-forth, uncut replies, chances are I’m not going to follow because I don’t want my dash constantly cluttered. Maybe I’ll RP if they approach and give more than single sentences in our threads, but I’m not going to automatically promise to interact with everyone. Because I did that before and honestly, it’s not fair to me or the other person if I’m not actually enjoying replying to a thread. 

I don’t take graphics or Aesthetics into consideration when it comes to following or interacting. After all, what is important is the writing and the fun. :3 

Wishlist: 

I have a tag for random things that I thought would be fun to explore- #Got The Quacking Craze || {Wishlist}

But if I have to state some specific things, I suppose that right now I’d enjoy threads in some of my AU verses. Specifically, the Siren AU for Fenton because I LOVE that fluffy fish and it’s a shame that I don’t often get to write in it. Another AU that I like is the Robo AU for Louie, and I’ve rarely used it as well. Not to mention, his negaversion Louis is a precious boi who I definitely wouldn’t mind more interactions with. Oh! It’d also be cool to have threads that take place when my muses are kids- particularly: Fenton, Gladstone, and Mark. 

Or threads that take place during College/Teen years. Again with: Fenton, Gladstone, and this time Imma throw Panchito into the mix. Some College Caballeros, perhaps? Some Fenton-still-with-his-assnugget-bf Angst? Some glam-rock-phase Gladstone dealing with the jealousy of his peers, the still-lingering guilt of having ‘killed’ his parents, and crushing on his nerdy best friend all wrapped up in the facade of Teen Drama? JNFFJKSDFNDSF... 

Honest Notes: 

As well as being slow with Replies and Asks, I am oftentimes slow with my IMs. This is nothing personal against anyone! I just get overwhelmed at times and have the memory of a potato. Which means sometimes I’ll think I replied or just flat-out forget until days later. Plus Tunglr LOVES to screw with my messages, so more often than not I’m not even alerted of them until hours upon hours later... Long story short, I really do enjoy talking with all of you and love getting messages from my friendos. Seriously, I don’t mind if when I’m flooded with them. It just sometimes takes me a bit to gather up enough energy to reply coherently.

Random Side Notes: 

My blog is pretty messy and while I’m trying to whip up bios that are more than just notes for my own benefit hastily scrawled down whenever I was in a muse-adding frenzy, lots of info about my muses tend to either be in my own head or jotted down on the random Headcanon posts I sometimes throw into the wild. XD I also have a habit of analyzing the HELL out of things when I get excited, so long-ass posts like those sometimes pop up as well. 

Speaking of excitement, there WILL be times when I gush about the star of this blog- *motions at Fenton* and everyone must Accept That. Because he is my FLUFFY SON and I shan’t apologize for loving him with every fiber of my being. X3 Sometimes I’ll go off about other characters too, but more often than not it is HIM. OOC posts are a thing too.

Sometimes inspiration comes in bursts and muses take over the blog for a day or a few- like right now, how Fenton is dominating everything. My birbs are fickle bishes and I’ve learned to just let them fight over who is going to get the attention, then roll with whoever wins. This is why I encourage people to interact with as many muses as they want and start as many threads as they’d like. That way, no matter which muse is strong or what kind of thread I am in the mood for, there’s a chance something will Work With Me. Besides, I’m always up for new threads and ideas, regardless of how many things we are juggling already. 

That being taken into account- Please understand that I oftentimes don’t know WHO the Hell I’m going to feel the muse for or WHAT threads they will be. So no rushing or nagging for replies because all that does is make my muses drag their feet. :’3

How I Run My Blog

I’m copying Ree and putting this under a cut too.

Speed: IT DEPENDS. I can be really fast or really slow depending on my muse for a certain thread or if I’m feeling overwhelmed by the dash (i love u guys but holy shit the speed at which yall post things got me X_X sometimes. i say this with all the love in my heart tho never change). I can lose muse for a thread kinda fast or only reply to one thread for a day...it be like that. pwease don’t take it personally if I take a while to reply to our thread; I rarely drop things and if I follow you it means I want to write with you. I take breaks from RP frequently and try not to make it feel like a job. But TBH sometimes I can worry about feeling replaced (I think an after-effect from earlier experiences in the RPC but I won’t get into it) so...y’know. When I get really wigged out about that I try to take like a week-long break or so so I stop feeling guilty. I WILL NEVER RUSH OTHER PEOPLE FOR REPLIES AND YOU NEVER HAVE TO APOLOGIZE FOR ME WAITING. I UNDERSTAND AND I SEE YOU.

Replies: I try to match length. My stuff generally ends up on the longer side for more serious rps and I tend to prefer that sort of stuff over crackposting and one-liners but I also...don’t care. gfdksljfd. Sometimes you gotta shitpost. I don’t care if people don’t match my length or not as long as you give me enough to work with. But I don’t tend to write with people that ONLY do one-liners.

Starters: I like writing starters but I tend to find that they get repetitive. I prefer doing ask-calls for this reason I think (plus the character limit means I don’t burn myself out as much). I do starter and ask calls fairly frequently. Funnily enough I enjoy doing one-liners to work as starters too; I try to leave them open-ended enough to give people room to explore though. Plotted starters, however, are the best!

Inbox: Asks give me LIFE and especially questions about my muse or lore or worldbuilding. I live for drabbles and headcanon asks especially. Anyone can send in anything at any time. I will never be upset or offended. I love seeing random unprompted asks in my inbox.

Selectivity: I was at first semi-selective but now I’m private -- meaning I only write with mutuals and can be pretty selective about who I follow. NOTHING PERSONAL. I don’t have the time or energy or muse to write with everyone. :( and I don’t wanna be burnt out on this blog. Sonic means a lot to me as a franchise!!!!! Please don’t be offended if I don’t follow you back. There’s so many other good Shadows out there too. No shortage of love for him in this franchise.

Wishlist: Honestly I don’t really have one but if I get the opportunity to use more of the Archie canon I’ll go absolutely feral I fucking love Archie so much; esp. the elements Ian Flynn brought into the pre-SGW timeline. I work really hard to mesh Archie into game-verse to make them all feel somewhat cohesive and I have a LOT of other worldbuilding I’ve done for Shadow’s world in my mind related to Genesis Portals, the Freedom Fighters presence, and certain arcs that did or did not take place, so like.......yeah. Any opportunity to do anything with Archie? I’m heart eyes.

Honest Note: I’M SO BAD AT STARTING CONVERSATIONS BUT I PRETTY MUCH CONSIDER ALL OF MY MUTUALS FRIENDS AND I LOVE YOU ALL. I notice you. I appreciate you. You can talk to me at anytime. Also if I stop replying to your DM or message on Discord: A) I forgot or B) I got overwhelmed and meant to reply later and then forgot.

I also know if you have or have not read my rules and even if our blogs seem like they would click, I WILL NOT FOLLOW YOU. This happens on Jet’s blog a lot. Fucking stop! Read my rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Regina ran down the streets in horror and confusion. Something wasn't right about where she was. It seemed the world turned dark and more sinister over night like something from a horror novel. Everything seemed like her world but flipped. Before she could figure anything out she ran into someone and fell on the ground. "I'm sorry. I didn't look where I was going. Please forgive me."

Canada looked down at her and raised an eyebrow. He got the feeling that this was someone like him just very clearly not from his world judging from the look on her face.

“Who are you?” He asked, still looking down at her and sticking a hand out to help her up.
