CREDITS

my icon border was commissioned from venuscommissions !   (  UPDATE: AS OF JANUARY 2020, THE ICON BORDER I’M USING COMES FROM ARTEMISPSDS BECAUSE MY REGULAR COMPUTER IS IN THE SHOP, AND, THEREFORE, I DON’T HAVE MY NORMAL RESOURCES.  ) 

unless otherwise stated, the psds i use come from either venuscommissons or plutocommissons;  the answered ask / headcanon / meta banner i use comes from interstellarresource;  the template i use for my mobile header and page headers comes from bleuberrymilk;  the template for my permanent starter call / character headers is part of template pack four by daria-morgendorffers;  the credit for the blog theme i’m using is in the bottom right hand corner of the blog;  and, finally, i will always credit the maker of my promo templates on the posts.

FOLLOWING

i’m a highly selective follower. i like my dash to be clean and uncluttered, so if i don’t follow you back right away or at all, please don’t take any offense. i also do not follow back personal / non -  rp blogs. if i do follow you, however, whether i follow you first or you follow me first, it’s because i want to write with you ! 

SHIPPPING

i’m the world’s biggest multishipper. i ship almost everything. whether it’s canon, or crossover, or canon x oc, you can bet that i ship it. however, while i’m willing to try out almost any ship with anyone, there has to be chemistry to keep me interested. and not just chemistry between the characters, but chemistry between us, as writers, as well. it’s hard to ship with someone who your writing doesn’t flow with.

INTERACTING

i am mutuals only when it comes to roleplaying, but anyone is welcome to send me a meme. if i don’t follow you back, but you still would like to interact with me, then send me memes !  if we develop a relationship between our characters through ask prompts, then the chance of me following you back goes way up. and, sometimes, i haven’t followed back because i’m a little spacey and didn’t even notice you started following me, so sending in a meme is a great way to give me a little nudge. also, i’m willing to write one - liners to novella and anything in between. the more you give me to work with, the longer my replies will get. as far as formatting goes, i write < small >< sub > with some bolding and italic here and there, nothing too special. if you have a hard time seeing the < small >< sub > text, please let me know and i’ll change to whatever you’re most comfortable with !

p.s. if you’re wondering whether or not it’s okay to write a pre established relationship between our characters, the answer is yes. as long as we’re mutuals. i tend to prefer pre established relationships because it gets the awkwardness of first meetings out of the way. and we can always go back and write how our characters met at any time once we’ve developed their relationship more.

MEMES

speaking of memes, i love them !  send them all !  if i don’t answer right away, though, don’t worry. i like to hoard memes like a dragon hoards gold. i promise that i will get to your meme as soon as the inspiration strikes. this goes for replies as well, but i don’t force myself to write something if the muse just isn’t there. i’ll just tuck it in my drafts for later and respond to it when i do have the muse for it. if you’re wondering if i got a certain meme, feel free to ask. also, if you’d like to turn a meme into a thread, please go ahead !  i find it’s the easiest and most stress free way to start interacting, so i love it when you do this.

i don't practice reblog karma and i don't mind you reblogging memes from me. so, you have my permission to reblog as many memes as you'd like from my blog. however, it would be nice to be sent one or two if you're going to reblog a lot because then it makes me feel like all i'm good for is a meme source. just be considerate is all i ask !

NSFW  &  TRIGGERS

i am almost twenty five years old, nsfw will appear on this blog. this includes: smut, death, gore, and any manner of disturbing scenes. i have exactly one trigger  ( needles — please tag them or i’ll have to unfollow ! )  so i’m up for writing almost anything. i used to be shy and bashful when it came to writing smut, but now i’m kind of like /shrugs !  so, if you want to send in a smutty meme, go ahead*. just as long as we’re mutuals, i’m up for writing smutty scenes with you. but i also double and triple check your rules to see how comfortable you are when it comes to smut, and then i take that into consideration before i respond to a nsfw meme because i want you to be happy and comfortable. also, when it comes to triggers, i tag anything i can think of with “__ tw” but if there’s something i haven’t tagged properly, or something you would like me to start tagging, please let me know so i can do so.

*it's important to know that m/m smut if off limits for me. i'm just not comfortable writing it yet, so while i will write m/m ships of all sorts, smut isn't going to happen for them.

PLOTTING

i’ll be straight forward and honest, i prefer free styling things to plotting them out, but this doesn’t mean i won’t plot. every now and then, i’ll reblog plotting calls, but you don’t have to wait for one of those to plot with me !  if you have an idea for a plot, or would like to brainstorm a plot with me, come at me. but keep my shyness / anxiety in mind. i'll tell you about my anxiety surrounding ims in a bit.

OFF LIMITS

this should go without saying, but don't godmode. i don't have any "banned" faceclaims, but i'm less likely to take your character seriously if your fc is a musician or someone from youtube / a reality show. i know i shouldn't, but i, like all people, can be shallow and judgy at times. but, overall, there isn't much i won't write or allow except for mpreg. it seriously creeps me out. if you want our m/m ship to start a family, i'd probably love that !  but they'll do it through a surrogate or adoption or a magical baby appearing on their doorstep.

OUT OF CHARACTER

hi, my name is jordan. i identify as female and use she / her pronouns.

it’s important to note that i suffer from extreme shyness, as well as a handful of mental illnesses  ( bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety )  so it can be hard for me to interact with people ooc. plotting, for example, can be a real challenge for me. ims terrify me; they make my anxiety jump through the roof. sometimes, i can be im'ing with a person and be absolutely fine, and then for no apparent reason, my anxiety takes hold and i can’t bring myself to open the ims. this can last for a few days at a time. please, don’t think i’m ignoring you if i haven’t responding to your im in a day or two. it’s not you, i promise ! 

if you need to reach me right away for any reason, please go through the ask box. the reason it’s easier for me to respond through the ask over ims is because i can see a preview of what you’ve said in the ask on my dashboard, whereas i have no idea what you’ve said through the ims. i know, it sounds dumb and ridiculous, but that’s just how my brain works.

now, thank you for reading all of this and i’d love to be friends !

Hello!

Wow, this was a surprise! You could’ve just said my name though, I wouldn’t have been upset about it. First off, I don’t live to serve you. I found something that makes me happy and I did what I felt was necessary with my fanfiction (no contract ever forced me to delete them, it was a decision I made for myself as I’ve explained on here several times). My work never belonged to you and you never had any sort of ownership of it. You got a lot of things for free and now you’re mad those free things are no longer available. To this day, I still feel I made the right decision for myself by deleting my fanfiction and no one could possibly make me feel bad about that. I’m happy with my life, I’m in excellent health, and honey, I was never a minnow, I was always a shark. A shark that just keeps getting better and better every single day and is loving it. It’s not narcissistic to be confident and love yourself. I think you need to take a long and hard look at yourself before you go around slapping people with personality disorders. I’m not a doormat, I’m not going to live my life at the whims of strangers on the internet and that doesn’t, by any definition, make me a narcissist. Sorry, not sorry, but my life does not and will never revolve around people who feel entitled to me or anything I create, especially when they contribute nothing to my wellbeing or creative process. And here’s something I think you truly don’t understand: I never created fanfiction for notes or comments or kudos or followers – I couldn’t have given a shit about any of that. I write for myself and I still do and always will. It was a bonus if people enjoyed my work, but it was never a necessity for me to keep writing. Passion for what I do is always what has kept me going. That you felt so strongly for my work is a testament to my abilities and I loved honing my skills through fanfiction, but don’t think for a second that because you felt something for my work that you somehow own me in any capacity. I’m not going to address everything in your post. There’s a lot of false/misleading things in there and you’ve misinterpreted/twisted quite a lot, especially about things I’ve said in the past. However, I will say this: You’re entitled to how you feel. You’re entitled to speak your mind and have feelings. You’re entitled to be upset with me. You’re even entitled to hate and loathe me – you can disrespect me all you want, your actions are your own and they are a reflection of you. I don’t begrudge you making this post and I hope you feel better now that you’ve gotten all this out of your system. But, just so you know, your decision to make this post is no different than my decision to delete my fanfiction. Think about that, maybe, the next time you feel content creators owe you anything. Finally, I’m not going to block you lol I honestly don’t care enough to. I have no idea who you are and I’m not upset by any of this. I just wish you’d had the courage to talk things out with me personally, but to each their own, I suppose. My inbox/messages are always open if you want to come talk to me!

God I'm so freaking pissed right now. I hate hackers so much, and I hate myself for being so freaking dumb. They hacked someone's account on Instagram, someone I knew somewhat, and then faked needing help with something (my last post reflects that) and sent me a link and I freaking clicked it and practically just handed them my account. And overall I don't mind loosing the account, though it pisses me off that they put my instagram account onto private so I can't even go find all the people I followed to re follow them on a new account. Like I was planning on doing a revamp of my insta anyways, but not freaking like this.

And what makes me so much madder that when I made a post announcing on another account that my account (my art one) was hacked, I got like 10 different people offering "assisstance" to get my account back. They were all nice and understanding, until they went "now I'd you want me to finish the process, it'll be 200 fucking dollars" and I got haha nope my account ain't worth the money I don't have. Like freaking people, I just got hacked, and I am in no way clicking this link to "pay" you and am in no way trusting anyone now.

Augh, I'm just pissed at people right now. Like why does someone need to hack my account in particular? Why do people have to try so many scams. Why do I have to be so freaking ready to do things for people that I'll click a link without a second thought. Just fucking hell, I'm annoyed and instagram won't do anything about it "cause they're not breaking the guidelines" and cause it's no longer freaking my account apparently so I can't do anything, like he'll I even managed to send a hacked account report like immediately (a whole video of my face and what not) but that's gonna take at leastttt 2 days, but it only takes 1 day for them to completely shut down my account because if suspicious activity. Just, I don't know, I'm annoyed, and there's literally nothing else I can do about the situation right now so here I am ranting when I really should be sleeping
