when i was a kid on the internet, i didn't know what "horny" meant and i thought it meant like you got goosebumps

so people in chatrooms would be flirting with me and say "are you horny yet" and i would look at my arms and be like "???? no????"

reflection .

why did you pick up writing? idk i just remember seeing people in chatrooms roleplay so i was like "omg i wanna do that too" and so i did

do you have any writing routines? not at ALL im rawdoggin' it babeyyy

what's your favorite part about writing? it's fun! i get to write about my blorbos, whether OCs or canon characters! it makes me happy and i love making new connections and friendships!

three things you like about your writing. um. erm. yknow! i have no idea! i think i really like writing expressions characters make and their little own nuances that make them them. plus i love being able to relate to the characters i write and create meaningful relationships for them & with them! uh... i like giving them their own little quirks-- i guess that also falls into the first thing i mentioned. wow this sucks UM ASLKJFLS oh!!! i love being able to rip my friends' hearts to shreds over my emotional writing whenever we rp angst :) i think that's three things

have you ever given up on writing? nnnno i don't think so? there's been lulls where i haven't written in a while, but it wasn't necessarily a thing of me giving up, but moreso just not having the juice/drive to for a bit!

a question for the next person .

ROOK's QUESTION: What are your favorite themes to work into your writing?

i really, really, really love writing character arcs where they step away from who they've been and learn to grow into who they are. the death of their past and birth of their present. not only that but themes revolving around family/friendships really get to me. they're so meaningful and it feels good to have characters be surrounded by the people they love, yknow?

write a question for the next person to answer. once you've answered it, leave a new question for someone else to answer.

next question: What do you wish you could do more of?

To any artists that are having a hard time finding references for things when it comes to the characters/people they draw. Might I suggest getting IMVU.

Yes IMVU is an old school chatroom program but it comes with avatars that you can dress up. I no longer use it for its intentional purpose but using my avatar as a reference for my art has been a life saver.

The main character that I always draw as an Afro textured hairstyle and it's very hard to find references of that type of hair styles in certain angles. But because the avatars on IMVU are 3D, I'm able to use my avatar as a reference to make drawing my character's afro mohawk easier.

Not to mention you can get inspired by drawing your characters in a new fit or a new pose.

knowing your partner can potentially make writing together a lot easier !

– BASICS.

♡ NAME: Hannah

♡ PRONOUNS: she/her

♡  AGE: 25+

♡  TIME ZONE: CST (GMT -5)

–THREE FACTS.

♡ I moderate a(n overw.atch) twitch channel/community! It's good fun and very dear to me but also sooooo so frustrating, sometimes.

♡ When I was little I was convinced I was going to grow up to become a veterinarian. I do not think the level of schooling or the uhhhhh amount of strong stomach it takes is actually for me.

♡ I strongly suspect I have an anxiety disorder and ADHD(? or a similar symptom set) but have no official diagnoses. At any rate, executive dysfunction you bitch.

–EXPERIENCE.

♡   HOW LONG (MONTHS / YEARS?): I have been on tumblr since 2011 but I've been storytelling/rping basically since like. ... You know how most kids act out their imaginative play? I did a looooooooottttt of "explaining" (/narrating, whatever you want to call it) and very little physical playing-things-out. Yes, I know what that is a common early indicator of. I'm unpacking that one shhhhh.

♡   PLATFORMS YOU’VE USED: uhhhh paper (as in i'd pass a notebook back and forth with school friends), IMVU, dA, various dms, twitter, forums, tumblr, a chatroom i forgot the name of we'd use for tumblr 'events', discord, wire

♡   BEST EXPERIENCE: Actually just the experience of rp in general. I have learned a lot through writing and the people who gave me grace in the process of it.

–MUSE PREFERENCES.

♡   MASCULINE OR FEMININE: I don't think I have a preference, per se? But I do seem to gravitate toward guy canons, whereas my OC roster tends to be waaaay more fluid and diverse, but I don't think there's any particular reason for this? Just the pattern of characters who appeal to me tend to be dudes in popular media, I guess? I did almost write Liz from Hellb.oy and Nomi from Sens.e8, in addition to the other canon ladies I have on the multi+Kiri's blog.

♡  FLUFF, ANGST OR SMUT: I actually kind of like. what I will call exploring? You put two characters in a box. Sometimes you shake it, or put a blanket in there, but mostly you just.... see what happens. Also tho I'm the fluff queen ♥ Good angst/whump has to come from somewhere and go somewhere else, I don't like to force it or just throw it around without reason or consequence, if that makes sense? And I like smut in theory but I don't have a lot of practice and my comfort level is a verrry narrow ledge I'm working on building up better, because genuinely it seems fun and interesting.

♡   PLOTS OR MEMES: I enjoy a little bit of bg plotting but also sometimes just really want to completely wing it and feel out the chemistry before committing to anything. Once we have a ground floor I like to build (and spiral)!!! I struggle with doing a bunch of memes when there's no floor to stand on, it starts to get really challenging in an un-fun way, and I feel like it's repetitive and uninteresting to write and to read. If a dynamic never has footing it can never evolve, y'know? Gotta give me something, something has to stick at some point.

♡   LONG OR SHORT REPLIES: No preference! Even when I start out 'short' I find I often end up unspooling into longer stuff but it doesn't have to I'm just wordy. I don't care if I consistently get shorter stuff back, as long as it suits the like. Yes, and. of it all. As long as there's something to work forward from I'm chillin!

♡   BEST TIME TO WRITE: I don't have a conscious preference but I do seem to have more success in early morning hours. No idea what that's about.

♡ ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S): Sometimes. A lot of them get teeny tiny bits and pieces of my views or opinions. I have never felt more Seen by a show than when Luke Pat.terson ghost-apparitioned into my life, even if his One Thing is not my One Thing, but we don't have to unpack that. Me 'n Henry have some childhood traumas in common (except he lives in a fairytale where he gets a thing I don't get) but I don't know that he's particularly like me. Maddy did super duper on a technicality start out as a form of self insert, but it's complicated because also super duper on a technicality so did her mom (who actually existed first! which is rare. Normally I build center-out but this time it was a generation back and Tech just sort of happened, which was crazy and fun), and they both really migrated away from that sooo quickly that it's weird to me to think that was ever even technically true. In the long run Maddy got more of 'me' than Mayhem ever did but it has always been in a hyperbolic and/or metaphorical way. She's definitely grown with me, which has been an Experience and a half. All of them, by virtue of being written by me, are subject to my sense of humor in the narrative parts of the writing, whether they would think it's funny or not.

🌸 If you get this, answer with 3 random facts about yourself and send it to the last 7 blogs in your notifications, anonymously or not! Let's get to know the person behind the blog. 🌸

🌸 I am a tired customer service representative, for a telecommunication company in Canada the hint for that is the first ever phone company in telecommunications.

🌸 I am trans M/F

🌸 I started roleplaying to impress a guy in IMVU (who doesn’t) back when I thought being 13 yrs old in Virtual Dating site was cool that was the AOL experience for me back then (who didn’t fake their age in chatrooms I mean HELLO)

I feel lonely.

I'm often the friend people go to for a shoulder to cry on, or a friendly listening ear. I'm always at my phone, I'm one of those people who, as soon as a notification comes through, I'm on it and responding. I can't bear unread messages just sitting there. I've always been online, ever since we got the internet and I started using chat rooms (IMVU and some video game chat, then ratemydrawings, etc).

But, I can never go to other people. My brain says it's because they're busy, they're not around when I want them, they always seem to be working or having a bad mental health spell when I want to vent and spill to them, so I hold back from it when they are online, and I just sit by, lonely, looking at my discord icon, just...waiting...for anyone to send me a message....

But I think it's partly because, I don't know how to go to other people even when they are around. I kept so much bottled up when I was younger, and the one or two best friends I would tell things to....one always seemed uninterested, and would change the conversation it seems, and the other? She was toxic looking back, but at the time, even though I considered her a best friend, she made me feel like shit a lot, so I wouldn't go to her with really emotional stuff (like when I thought I was depressed, when I self harmed, things like that). Just felt she wouldn't care, or she'd have it worse somehow.

And I have great friends now. I just always feel like I don't want to burden them with my issues, or, like stated already, I feel like they're busy and not 'online' when I really want someone to be. Maybe I don't even want to vent to them, maybe I just want whatever our normal conversation is just so I don't feel lonely, and when I'm down, the loneliness just grows.

And I can't make new friends. I don't know how I used to go on a random chatroom with 20 odd people and find someone to chat to out of them. I can't even speak in group discord chats nowadays when I know everyone in them!

I think I've always felt lonely. I had imaginary friends at my first house, so aged 4 and under. They've stuck with me to even now. They're like a coping mechanism, someone to talk to once my mum goes to bed, or for any time I'm in the house alone, or whenever I may venture out alone.

Maybe it's why I am so infatuated with my dreams - I have friends in them too, but also, I'm not an agoraphobic recluse - I do things and go places and meet new people. Always interacting with others in my dreams, good or bad situations, but at least I'm not alone then...

no I'm not affiliated with anyone in the imvu community. I only use that game to play with stuff in the shop and explore chatrooms. I don't actually talk to anyone there

[hugsohugs]
