#in which the mun becomes the muse

[dangaer]

have to admit it following that last post, if we're shipping im 9/10 times rereading the media and looking at certain parts through a ship tinted glass set. i put it on the dash sometimes rather than dms because i'm extremely nervous that i'm going to come off as too much but, you know, i'm working on that.

conflicted - ikau one-shot

"Hey, Carter, look at me."

She flinched as Quentin cupped her face with both hands, but his grip only tightened. Not enough for it to hurt, but enough for her to stay. Enough for her to turn her gaze back to his - to see a softness in his gaze she... still wasn't sure how to feel about. Even despite the way her heart seemed to skip a beat. Despite the way her stomach twisted.

Were those good feelings? Bad? She could never tell. But... she wanted to think they were good.

Though the way her stomach coiled as he ran his thumb across her cheek threatened to make her think twice if she let herself focus on it.

"You've got me," he reminded quietly. His gaze never wavering from hers. "The others clearly don't care, but I do. Screw the Avengers - you don't need them. You can still be Iron Man without 'em. I'm telling you, sweetheart, you can walk away. It could be you and me, you know. We could be heroes together. Wouldn't that be better?"

God, a part of Carter was tempted to agree. To leave the Avengers and strike it out with Quentin, or even just on her own. She could still be Iron Man - she didn't need to lose who she was by walking. Yet... there was a tightness in her chest that made her heart hurt. A panic that seemed to seep through her mind like ice - threatening to take hold if she so much as even entertained the idea further. As desperate as she was to leave the moniker behind... she couldn't. It was who she was, regardless of whether or not she wanted it. She was Iron Man. And...

She was an Avenger. Even if she didn't want to be. She couldn't just leave them like that, even if she could be replaced. Even if they didn't care.

And she'd be lying if she said there wasn't something about Quentin's insistence that made her nervous. Even if she did everything she could to ignore it. Because he meant well - he did. She... knew he did. He was just... intense. Focused on his goals. Determined to leave his mark on the world by doing good.

She needed to believe that he meant well--

"I--" Carter swallowed thickly, and let out a shaky breath as his thumb gently ran over her cheek once more. As he tilted her chin up. "It would be, but..."

His gaze darkened, and he stifled a sigh. "But you won't leave." His voice was quiet, but... colder. Heavy with disappointment. Though, even as he still held her face in his hands, his grip never tightened like she always expected. Never turned painful. "Carter--"

"I... I want to," she interrupted - her voice rising in a near-desperation for him to believe her. An apology burning in the back of her throat. "I... I do, but I can't... I can't just..." She inhaled sharply, and felt a funny sense of relief as Quentin's expression seemed to soften. "I- I can't... just lea-leave, Quen. It's- it's not--" Control it. "It's... not that simple. But if I-- If I could..."

He said nothing, and instead leaned forward and pressed his forehead to hers. But her heart only lodged in her throat, and she fought the urge to pull away from him. Unable to understand why she felt so conflicted when it came to his touch.

"You can," he murmured, "but alright. We can drop it for now. I just need you to know you're only hurting yourself by staying. They don't care about you, Carter, you've said that yourself." He went quiet for a moment, and he bumped his nose against hers. "You know I care about you, right?"

Do you? she wanted to ask, but held her tongue. Unsure if she should just kiss him to get him to drop it, or try - again - to get him to actually listen to her about why she struggled so much with the idea of leaving. But... "I know," she rasped. "I know you do, Quen. And I'm sorry, I just--"

With a quiet hush, Quentin kissed her, and it took everything in Carter not to recoil. To shove down the hurt as she closed her eyes and returned it slowly. To ignore how much she wanted this to be different. That he loved her the way she--

Did she even love him?

"You can stay with me tonight," he said quietly as he pulled away from her, though still cradled her face in his hands. "Give yourself time to think about it away from them. I could use your help anyway with this stupid program."

Carter ignored how her stomach twisted and her heart studdered, and gave a small nod in response. Unwilling to figure out how she felt about him. "Yeah. I... I can do that." It was easier to focus on work. Easier to distract herself that way. To ignore her conflictions as she gingerly pulled back out of his grasp. "Thank you, Quen."

He smiled, and she wasn't sure if it made her want to stay, or if she should--

"Anything to distract you, sweetheart."

Quentin's smile widened, and she decided then that the kind look in his eye was enough to make her want to stay. Enough for her to ignore how she still felt conflicted. To ignore the quiet worry in the back of her mind that he might be caring about her for all the wrong reasons. Because... he was the only one who cared. He was, and it was just her mind playing tricks and telling her otherwise. He was different. He was--

Carter forced a smile back, and followed him inside.

so mun x reader

➳summary: one of the many ways mun shows his love

➳warnings: -

➳word count: 925

➳a/n: the first part of a series of short mun fics I hopefully am able to write :) maybe if there’s enough interest?? also a reminder that requests are open!!

You hated this.

The room which was usually your sanctuary, where you could wind down after a long day, had become your own personal jail cell that you wanted nothing more than to just escape. You could theoretically; no one had forbidden you from leaving but just hours before, (maybe it was less than that, you felt way too delirious to think straight so you’re perception of time was completely broken) the one and only So Mun swaddled you in blankets like a baby so you couldn’t even move if you wanted to - if your room was a prison, then these blankets were a straight jacket.

“So you can sweat it out.” You remember him saying before leaving for the nearest convenience store to get you some supplies. So now here you were incapacitated, feverish yet shivering and limbs feeling like they were made of stone.

You blamed So Mun for this.

Looking back, there was no real reason to (especially how he was the one taking care of you) but him leaving you in that state was enough for you to want to plot your revenge. Was this some kind of sick, twisted joke to him? Did Mun think you didn’t love him enough so he left you to die?

After what seemed like an eternity, your door finally slammed open to reveal Mun who was carrying a plastic bag on his wrist.

“Took you long enough.” you rasped out, shooting him a glare as he approached you. He laughed at your quip while placing his palm on your forehead to check your temperature. Instinctively you leaned into his touch, cooling your hot skin.

“How are you feeling?”

“Oh I’m just peachy” you exclaimed sarcastically as you sat up, though that proved a bad decision as you were hit with a wave of nausea as soon as you lifted your head off your pillow. Mun was quick to support you by putting his hand on your back.

“Here, have these.” he said, offering some pills and a bottle of water. Taking the medicine from him, you gulped it down quickly (you didn’t realise how thirsty you were until you’d already chugged more than half the bottle) then flopped back down with a sigh.

“I hate this.” You vocalised to Mun. “I wanna move and eat without feeling like I’m gonna throw up everywhere.”

“You will be able to once you get better. But that can’t happen unless you stay still and rest.” Mun nagged which made you groan frustratedly.

“I’m so over it though!” You complained. “I feel useless just laying here while you do everything for me. Like- you’re my boyfriend, not my mother!”

At that, Mun laughed while squatting down next to your bed so his face is eye level to yours. He tangled his hand in your hair, playing with it gently.

“Have you considered that maybe I like doing this for you?” You gave him an unimpressed stare.

“It’s true! Is it that hard to believe I want to take care of you?”

“But don’t I annoy you when you have to do all these things for me?”

Mun shook his head, smiling at you brightly. “You’ll never be annoying to me. And it feels nice to have you rely on me for once.”

“I still feel bad though…” you mumbled into your covers. He pried away the blankets from your grip, uncovering your face to peck your cheek quickly. You made a confused, unintelligible noise and looked at Mun, who was smirking slightly.

“You can just pay me back when you're recovered.” He suggested it in a way that made you roll your eyes. And here you thought he was doing this out of the kindness of his own heart.

“What if we have a picnic in the park? Then we can eat after we have a walk, like what you wanted.” He continued to muse. You groaned and turned on your side so your back faced him. You thought he was stupid. Stupid So Mun who never had a selfish thought in his brain.

“But you’re still just doing whatever I want!” You whined, cheeks getting hotter than they already were. You couldn’t see him but you already knew Mun was probably laughing at you - he always seemed to find joy in your suffering.

“What I want is to see you have fun and be happy.” Mun explained as he grabbed your shoulder and rolled you onto your back to face him. “And you’ll be happy if you do the things you want to. It's a win-win situation!”

“You’re so cheesy.”

You scrunched your face into an irritated look at his words, baffled at his perfect answer. He just smoothed out the creases between your eyebrows with his thumb but you swat him away.

“We can discuss the details later, just focus on getting better. Are you hungry?”

You shook your head definitely but your stomach gurgles violently, defying you. Mun laughs at you before getting up (presumably to get you food).

Before he could leave, you grabbed his hand stopping him in his tracks. You sat up, ignoring the way your muscles ached in the process.

“Let me come with; I’m sick of being in this room.” Your legs wobbled as you tried to stand, weak after not being in much use, but Mun acted fast and swept you off your feet, taking you by surprised

“Didn’t I say I’d do everything for you?” He teased you as he carried you in his arms to the kitchen.

[positivelybeastly]

What have been some of your favorite rps over the years? Have you developed any personal ocs that you particularly enjoy (I know you've got Dark Beasts going on, so if you wanna talk about what's going on there, that'd be cool too!

Oh, this is a tricky one! Not least because it relies on my memory, which is one of my least reliable traits, ha - but I shall do my best!

The first one that comes immediately to mind is this thread with @themckaytriarchy - it was sort of integral to the process of my getting over what X-Force did with Beast by taking control of it, and it also just let me dive into a more horror based thread, which I don't often get to do. Beast is a character who is often very horror-aligned, so getting to really explore that was a ton of fun. I got very poetic in there, but I had a great time.

There's also this thread with the same writer, which was sort of how Cereal and I really got to be such good friends, and how Hank and Tess ended up becoming BFFs. They just had such instant chemistry and bounced off each other really, really well, and I love getting to play Hank as the best aspects of all of his selves - the more mature vibe of his feline self mixing with his younger, gremlin energy, the regret of his modern self mixing in with that, I like when I can pull on all the strings at the same time, if that makes sense.

Oh! Another one is this thread with @silverjetsystm - one of the things I absolutely love about Hank is that he knows goddamn everybody, like, the man's been on every team you can imagine, so there's always some era you can dive into, and his time on the Secret Avengers was so undeveloped, and MK-mun has just been an absolute joy to write with. You can really tell when I'm getting into a thread because I just write reams and reams and reams, and things get more poetic, and Hank starts thinking heavier and heavier things.

Easily another one is this one with @thebettermccoy - I've been wanting a good Dark Beast to bounce off for ages, to the point where I took him on as an extra muse just so he and Hank could interact and I could practise their voices, but then Squirrel-mun took the brave step to take him on, and it's been a joy ever since. It's so gratifying to get to refer to one specific issue from 1996 that no-one but me and Squirrel-mun know about, and they know the lines of dialogue just as well as I do, and we can just dig.

Another one is this one with @themarvelliteraryuniverse - I've lowkey shipped Beast and Sabretooth for years because of Wolverine and the X-Men vol. 1 #8, and getting to actually attack that dynamic and explore it and see Locke's unique take on Victor mesh with my Hank in such an instantly compelling way . . . god, it's a dream come true for me, honestly. Something that often gets lost about Hank is his inherent sexual drive and energy, his repressed primality, his morals interacting with his pull towards the dark, and exploring that is always just a complete joy.

Oooh, ooh! This one with @notmymamasboy - not only is it fun to play Hank as getting used to being pursued again, but Stabby is just so good at throwing this inescapable, unrelenting energy into Raze that makes him feel like a force of nature that Hank has immense affection for and attraction to, but, again, knows has a lot of darkness attached to them. They just bounce off each other really well, and it's probably what fandom would qualify as a crack ship, but I just like the intellectual conflict intersecting with the interpersonal chemistry.

Another one I've loved is this one with @emmatriarchy - I'm an absolute sucker for getting to fill in missing bits of Hank's history, and I always thought it was such a travesty that X-Force never tugged on the very brief but incredibly impactful time where Hank and Sage interacted in X-Treme/New X-Men, because it adds such dimension to their dynamic. Getting to explore that in-situ is a dream for me, and I also just love getting to play Hank from specific periods with specific moods, especially with gloriously obscure and underappreciated muses, with is sort of this mun's whole thing. :)

Ooh, ohh! This one, with @maximummuses - I again felt like this entire thing was swept under the rug back in the 2010s, and it felt like such a disservice to Hank and Logan that they never got to have this conversation, that they never got to just GO AT one another, everything laid out, all honesty, all feeling. This was, again, just another dream for me, and as far as I'm concerned, this is canon and exactly how it happened.

Now we get into stuff that was more dynamics, and also older threads with are, like, a decade old . . . my X-Force Beast's twisted toxic relationship with dusktrip's Wolverine was a delight, and I miss that writer very dearly (they had to stop RPing due to a lack of time) because it let me just drown in a very dark place for a bit in a very controlled way. They, like themckatriarchy, were integral to me coming to terms with what X-Force did with Hank's character.

There are tons of threads with people like brandisnotmygivenname (Abigail Brand), technarchology (Warlock), hulksdontdoweak (She-Hulk), this-city-is-a-symphony (Dazzler), fangedfirecracker (Jubilee), levoleurcinetique (Gambit), healingtheassassins (Elixir), dontcallmejulio (Rictor) - a lot of people from nearly a decade ago who aren't active anymore, but I still think of them a lot, and a lot of the time, I have to remember that Hank's dynamics and history with these people in canon don't necessarily include these versions of the characters, ha.

But, very formative to my interpretation and exploration and journey with Hank.

As for OCs - I'm sort of a one fictional obsession kinda guy, so I don't really have too many! I did have a guy called Danny Jones who was a mutant based on Tito Bohusk from New X-Men. He was from a Young Avengers RP ages and ages ago, and I think at one point he was going to become a Ghost Rider? It was a long time ago, in fairness.

I also have an AU version of Hank called Sir Henry, codenamed Grandmaster, who's inspired by the Ghost Box steampunk version of Hank and Sublime. Instead of being a scientist, he's a Victorian era spymaster with Hank's typical intelligence, but a lot less of his warmth and ethical consideration. He tended to dual wield pistols a lot.

I actually still have some art a friend of mine did from the Exiles RP he came from. This is her OC, Joan, with whom he had a budding romance.

But, as of late, the biggest one has been The Irredeemable Beast, which has spawned a number of characters, the most significant of which is Zeke.

Zeke has always been a clone of Dark Beast, in my conception of him. I always figured that Dark Beast would absolutely be the type of person to keep spare clone bodies around because, frankly, he keeps wagging his ass at people who are stronger than him and can kill him, and the fact that he kept dying and coming back diminished only solidified to me that he would eventually kick the bucket and need an out.

The version of him in Irredeemable is altered slightly, in that he's a recently created clone of Dark Beast - in the original chain of events, he was released as a kid, along with a twin brother, Strauss, and they grew up relying on each other, eking out a meagre existence by living between the lines. They had full lives, but obviously severely disadvantaged, and hated Dark Beast whenever he was around because, well, why wouldn't they?

Zeke's fun to play around with just because he has a lot of Hank/Dark Beast's perception and wit, but he doesn't have the same level of intelligence, knowledge, privilege, or advantages, so he has a bit of a chip on his shoulder - yet he still tries to have fun, which is very Hank. He's a good grounding presence, which is why I decided to make him a central part of Irredeemable, and I have a good few plans for his arc going forward from Dark Beasts.

His narrative arc is sort of meant to tackle a big problem I had with both X-Force and, more widely, the Krakoan resurrection system, which is the amount of wasted bodies/clones, and the lack of thought put into what's a 'real' life and what isn't.

The whole Talon/Wolverine split is treated completely differently to how the clones in X-Force of both Hank and Logan are treated, and I wanted to unpick that, question exactly what a clone's life is worth, and question why we arbitrarily decided that we put more value on Talon/Wolverine, but carving dozens of Hanks and Logans was perfectly acceptable.

Every one of those Hanks or Logans could have been a valid individual in the exact same way that Ezekiel is, and I want Hank to have to think about that, and be faced with the ethical/existential question of the lives he arbitrarily brought into existence in such a cold, mercenary fashion without any consideration for his responsibility for them.

Zeke is just a really good foil for Hank, and Hank absolutely needs a foil, because his internal monologue is fascinating, but it really can get maudlin and self-involved, so you need to break that up with some youthful 'I don't give a shit' energy, which Zeke provides in spades.

One of the other characters in Dark Beasts, Yekaterina, is a pretty minor character, but pretty much any time I come back to my long term plans for the fic, I keep wanting to give her more to do. I think it's really important to me that X-Men have human characters who are friendly and pro-mutant, who make up the other half of the mutant metaphor, because that's something the comics really did just give up on for the longest time, and it makes such a difference to have a human who's like 'no, fuck Orchis, fuck all these racists, I'm with you because it's the right thing to do.'

I also have a tendency to write exclusively dudes, so Yekaterina and Jennifer Nyles keep being given more and more to do so that I break out of that writing rut. Same thing with Olivia Ocampo, the Orchis commander in Dunfee - I explicitly gave her a Marvel branded alliterative name so that I would use her more, and I know where her story goes. I need to get on that, actually, I want to release that chapter close to Christmas if I can . . .

Gorobitz and Taft are pretty shameless Rosencratz and Guildenstern expies. I like giving goons personalities, and I think it's funny exploring the weeds of the arbitrary distinctions of anti-mutant racism through the lens of a pair of garden variety Orchis grunts. They're gonna turn up in future chapters with similar segments.

I think that covers the majority of it? There are other characters who are going to appear later on, including an Orchis agent that I want to be a bit of a surprise. The entire fic is about the ramifications of Hank's actions and dealing with them, and that agent has a backstory that is all about Hank's actions and what they meant for her, and I think he's gonna struggle not to feel like he should just let her shoot him in the head when he finds out what her deal is.

Thanks for the question! It was a really good one!

[dnangelic]

this blog's 1yr creation anniversary is only two months away and tbh even though nobody asked there's always a point for me where i try to evaluate my portrayal and whether or not i'm having fun, whether or not i confidently feel like *other* muns are having fun, (if nobody was why would anybody even be here?? alwdjadkfj) but in a more personal regard, also evaluating whether or not i feel like i've finally 'broken in' a muse and can finally stop 'studying' or trying to reference and adhere as strictly as possible to canon, especially since so many interactions that can happen with rp have never even been remotely explored in canon settings.

there's always some malaise that comes with that; i worry that too much change or growth and comfort with my own private interpretation and portrayal means that i'll somehow drift away from and lose dark and daisuke's original points; their initial thematics and the deeper organic messages of their characters, which i guess makes me sound like a pretentious novelist or your highschool english teacher instead of just a hobby writer, but it's also still important to me who found a lot of positive messages and theatrical magic in dnangel as a series itself to therefore try to be able to handle such things about its characters with equal sincerity and care. i don't want daisuke's overall kindness and optimism to turn bitter or his inner will and courage to turn weak, i don't want dark's tragedies to be neglected nor do i want him to become nothing more than a shallow shipping or fanservice item because of his design and facades, and i definitely, definitely don't want to snip the way these two are so irremovably intertwined within each other, and the way that i'm quite literally writing a 2-in-1 muse, my son(plural) and my sons(singular.)

that all being said, i think i have the confidence to say i've done an okay job, maybe even a Good one. my muse still goes very strong for them even after all this time, and i really enjoy all the relationships they have, especially those of you who were willing to give a completely nonfamiliar canon (or even just a child/teenaged muse with off-the-walls magical girl... criminal.... body horror-y goth phantom of the opera and shoujo satan alignments) a chance. to the old muts i've known from other blogs who've stuck around, thank u! to the new ones that i've only first met on this blog and are still here, thank u guys too! i'm always hoping that i'll get to have plenty more time with everyone in the future, but even if something happens i still can say that i had a really good first year writing dark and daisuke <3

[confessionsofa-roleplayer]

My mind drifted back to a time when I wrote a villain on single-muse blog and someone approached me wanting me to be the exclusive version of that muse. Which, okay, we had never written before, but I told them we could plot something out and write about it and see how it goes. And this person had a very specific fanon view of my character… which I never saw him the fanon way and I never hid that on my blog. She wanted me to write him as a straight up sociopath for this plot she wanted and I told her that I wasn't going to write him that way because of -insert reasons here- (I don't want to get specific because then the character may become obvious if I do). And she kinda backed away and said that she didn't feel comfortable writing with me anymore… just because I disagreed with her take. People are allowed to have their own views. I'm not saying that they don't…. it's just the word "uncomfortable" seems to stick out to me. It made her uncomfortable that I didn't agree that he was a sociopath? Like this person was literally very specific on what she wanted me to write and how she wanted me to write it… and she's the one that felt uncomfortable when I said no? Isn't that a little dramatic? I think I'm the one who had the right to feel uncomfortable here. Guys… I'm just writing this to say… please don't put all villains into a 2D box. Just because they're a villain, that doesn't automatically make them a sociopath, psychopath, a narcissist or whatever other stereotype that can be slapped onto them. Please don't tell someone how to write their character. Chances are the villain mun already has their character's psychology worked out and how they want to write them. It's godmodding to tell someone exactly what you expect out of someone else's muse… especially if you just met them and don't have a feel for the mun or the muse yet. It's a bit overwhelming and head spin worthy if you ask me…

(HOW WE FEELING ABOUT THE GREYSON FACE REVEAL TONIGHT🗣️⁉️)

(MOD💜TALK

Yo I was so excited I literally immediately started drawing him, and then hyperfixated all day and then did nothing but just sit in my feels. This is gonna be a long one about some blog stuff too, mates, so strap in!

@flamesque 's Mun LITERALLY had to hold my hand because I CRIED I was so nervous to see his face ����🤣 it was the happiness of the game finally giving him all the attention I'd always wanted him to have, but the double edged sword of going

"Oh shit. Now everything I've grown so attracted to is officially wrong."

And so I had to sit here all day while I've painted and spoken to friends and fellow muns and just... had to really take a step back and think about how I was going to overhaul everything here too.

So the positive answer is- I'm SO EXCITED because I've already seen so many people talking about him and even my beloved @rose-tinted-kalopsia is planning on writing for him and maybe this means more fanworks for him! It's been very lonely in my little corner with just me screaming about how lovely he is and throwing out headcanon posts and snippets and art and

I get it. It can be hard to love a faceless man in a very visual game. No shade. I'm just happy and hopeful more people will engage in him as a character now!

I also think he's fucking ADORABLE. His glasses and his cute cheekbones and his grey blue eyes bc ofc he'd have grey eyes when his name is fucking Greyson (I swear to God everyone loves to hurt me with puns 🥴🤣) I'd love to see a little bit of a hairstyle change but I've already hit on that. Overall I love him. Very cute, 10/10, totally smashable. I'm getting Bedazzled Brendan Fraser vibes and I'm here for it.

On the less positive side- it's like saying goodbye to a very dear friend. This Grey, MY Grey has become somewhat of a very special blorbo to me. He ended up being like a half oc-half canon character and idek how it happened but it DID and here I lay very distraught and attached to him and it's a little heartbreaking to retire him, if that makes any sense.

It's been quiet here for a while partially due to personal stuff, but also partially due to my sensing the changing in the winds after the story update of No Morning. They've done a lot of lore building with him that while it doesn't give him any actual back story, it's changed or developed parts of his personality that really have diverged him from the Greyson we got snippets of early on. And I'm not mad about that mind you, he's still adorable and I will stand by him until my dying breath, but it's very clear that the Grey I've written, and the Grey they're writing now are diverging very quickly and I need to separate them rather than try and salvage a blend. It was bound to happen when the only thing we had to go on was as a side character in an anecdote, a side character in a single card, and a couple moments posts early on. 🤷‍♀️ (oh and that one Twitter interview).

I've contemplated making mine an OC (just another Dr at Akso) and keeping all the lore and backstory and stuff as his, and gutting this profile back to canon material ONLY, but once again that leaves it as very... well.... barren. I do believe there will be a lot more in store for him in the future, it's just gonna take a while (bc he's a side character so of course, it makes sense) so it might feel like I've kind of hurt or abandoned this place in the meantime, which is definitely not what I want either.

All in all there will obviously be some huge changes happening here, I'm just not entirely sure what they are yet and what that means for active threads too 😅 I have a lot of options so it's just down to figuring out which ones speak to me heart and Muse.

I realize this is probably all waaaaaaay more than you intended to ask so I'm sorry, but thanks for letting me gush all my feels out ahhhhhh♡)

[lxmitlxss]

What drew me in was the fact you wrote fma muses and then you added more and I ended up writing with you more. We had it where envy was basically just on anon messing with mustang and then we had interactions with Roy and Envy that were mostly crack which is what I loved and then you added hughes and we started writing them more together and it ended up becoming us SCREAMING at each other in dms about everything I stayed for the memes, the amazing writing portrayals and amazing mun that I have grown to enjoy talking to and being friends with :D (rambles asfkjajfd)

What drew you to my blog initially, and what, so far, has made you stay?

LISTEN LISTENNNN I'm a very anxious person and you've helped me open up a lot and I appreciate YOUUU for you kind words AAAAAAAAA

[hxly-fxther]

OOC;

I think it’s about time I talked about my thoughts on the event.

I would like to say, first, I appreciate and respect everyone who has attended this event and even more to those who had stuck around this far and to those who have participated as an “Antagonistic force” of the story. I deeply appreciate all the work that everyone has put in, the effort, determination and interest. It’s very nice to see how much this has impacted everyone involved. I have seen everyone grow steadily with their muses and quality of writing. This verse has achieved what I have wanted from it which was two things-

1. Bring people together who otherwise would never had the chance to write with one another.

2. Push characters to their limits and beyond to see who they truly are or offer a different perspective on their characters that writers otherwise wouldn’t.

I would say overall, I am happy and proud of everyone and the verse itself. There’s been so many good moments that I will cherish for the rest of my life and I hope that is the same for others.

However.

This is my first and quite possibly only event I will ever create and possibly attend as this endeavor has taken so much out of me to put together. Playing this role means to keep up with everything and everyone and while I do have help, which I do appreciate, at the end of the day I am the one who drives where the story is headed. Having so many things happen at once and trying to come with sensible conclusions that make everyone involved happy or content with the decision is next to impossible and more so heavily stressful on my shoulders.

It has been difficult to come onto this blog and continue things and the longer I take the more lore, need to conclude things piles onto my shoulders. I see everyone else becoming restless and burnt out just as I am.

I want to deliver a good ending but I believe it wouldn’t matter what ending we get as long as it’s the “good” ending. It feels as though whatever is delivered will be met with a sigh of relief instead of a feeling of profound feeling of accomplishment and earning that victory.

To be a little blunt, it has been almost eight months since this began and even longer when the thought of all of this had even been considered. I never planned for this to go on so long and I’m just stuck. There’s a lot demanded of me and I cannot even enjoy my muse outside of the event because almost everything I say is taken as something that’s compared to the event which locks what I can and can’t do on here to a degree that’s put such a heavy roadblock on this character.

It has been a stressful last couple of weeks between muse drama, mun drama and trying to work everything cohesively together and I have finally hit the point where I can no longer juggle what I used to be able to. I know this may discourage others and I am sorry, I have done what I can and I very much do plan on finishing this story but I cannot promise a ending that wraps everything in a nice bow like I would have liked.

Admitting that makes me… Upset. Sad. Everything. I once had multiple panic attacks a week with how I was going to finish all of this up but now I’ve become so jaded much like all of you that I just simply want it to end however way possible. The writings on the wall and it is ever unfortunate that this all needed to be said because this is or perhaps was, my biggest accomplishment I have ever managed in any given RPC.

I will not point fingers nor will I allow anyone to point fingers, if anyone has failed it was me. Lack of writing, energy, and too much leniency on my end has caused a lot of this and where the load was supposed to become lighter got heavier and it’s become too much.

I am sorry. At the home stretch I’ve failed you all and there is no better way to put how disappointed I am of myself for letting things become so difficult.

Again. I want to make it clear, that I love this verse, there has been so many great things that has come from it and I do have plans for an ending soon and we can all finally rest and have those conclusions we have planned for.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, I know it is not the most encouraging read and rather unexpected. But I would like for everyone to take a minute and think about all the good that has come to you on your end of the verse and simply enjoy that for even a moment. If all of you can do that then the purpose of this “unification” ideology would have served its purpose to its fullest.

I will see you all soon.

@cathiief asked: "for munday: give me some of YOUR hot takes and unpopular opinions about the RPC."

From: Ask the Mun anything you want! || Accepting!

I won't lie: I have a lot of hot takes and unpopular opinions. In reality, a lot of them may not actually be hot takes or anything, but I have opinions to say about the RPC as a whole.

First things first: I truly believe that communication is seriously lacking in the RPC, as a whole. There are a lot of times when I wonder if things could be settled between people if stuff was talked out between others, privately, of course, to settle things and not turn it into a massive "call out" or a bunch of petty drama. I do think that there are times when call-outs can be useful, however, I have my doubts that every callout out there is needed, and discussing the issue between people is a far better option.

Related to my last thing, I don't think everyone will like one another and that's ok. What isn't ok is creating a call-out or vague post, whatever it might be, to trash-talk the person because you don't like them anymore or whatever else. Just hard block and move on, it's literally not that difficult.

It certainly seems like helping people get around in a community has gone the way of the dinosaurs, in terms of nobody reblogging promos anymore. I also, personally, believe that people become incredibly "cliquish" with others and refuse to accept or help new members of a community get the word out and all because people like to stay close to a certain group. Which I don't think is bad, but I do think more people should spread the word about new blogs and help others find people to write with.

I have grown incredibly tired of the fact that people don't send in memes as well, it seems. Sure, I might have people do it every now and again, but theoretically, memes are supposed to be icebreakers between blogs and characters. I think people need to send more to start interacting with others, otherwise people will just unfollow and never interact because either you or the other person refuse to actually do any sort of interaction with one another.

Speaking of, I don't fully understand the idea of following someone and then never interact with them. I know this can be a two-way street, but I know I've had experiences where I try to send memes or write a starter, and then people never respond or anything, leading to me unfollowing. I'm here for writing and meeting new people, I'm not a "number" for your account, plain and simple.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I despise the "send this to your favorite blogs so they know you love them!" bullshit. In my time on Tumblr, I have seen those go around so many times and yet I know for a fact lots of people, myself included, never receive any of those. I don't think they're needed and I think they really drive the point home about people having "favorite blogs" that they only want to interact with and no one else.

Also, just a small thing to note: Don't be afraid to reach out to me or others if you want to chat, plot, discuss ships, etc. I know I've been told a few times in the past that people think I'm intimidating, mainly because of my writing, and I promise I'm not. I am legit here to have fun and meet new people. So, please, come chat with me if you want to and I will gush about my muses!

[muraenide]

This miiiiight be oversharing personal sentiments a little bit but...

Ever since I changed my rules to include an explicit list of what I'm going to write on this blog instead of just a simple, brief statement saying "dark things will be present here" and started actively following people or mutuals of mutuals whose muses or writing I am genuinely interested in/have spiked my interests, I've grown a lot happier about the contents and people I'm seeing on my dash.

I felt like tum.blr rpers have grown incredibly judgemental and incapable of minding their own business. People all around me seem to have shifted their energy onto focusing on offending as few people as possible instead of trying to actually have fun, and the rpc has become a weird circle for activism when it shouldn't have been used as a medium for (false) activism in the first place. Not all of us are here to make a point or to establish a legacy. In fact, most of us are just here to have fun and scratch an itch in the brain or fill in gaps that canon source materials haven't been able to provide. But the idea of this is incomprehensible to some people who are actively ruining the rpc and making everyone fear that they're walking on eggshells while they spiral into a depressing state of existing to not offend anyone instead of existing to have fun.

I've lost count of the number of times people tell me that I'm on a DNI for "writing with pro.ship.pers" or "writing romantic ships with an adult and a minor" (<- said ship is between a 17 y.o. and a 19 y.o.) sometimes it's also ships about fake incest.

(Just as an aside, I've grown so desensitized by being on DNIs that it's no longer something to feel anything about. I'd just go through their rules with a very confused expression if to see what they took issue with. Most of the time I don't even know the mun personally.)

I've gotten more hate directed at me for writing fake in.cest rather than real ones, which is not only baffling but also incredibly ODD bc the fandom "decides" what is good and what is bad, which reeks heavily of manipulation and toxicity in my opinion. Fandoms aren't governed by a single party or a monolithic authority that decides its rules. Fandom rules are made by the community, and in every community, there should be different rules, made to ensure everyone is comfortable and feel inclusive. That is what makes fandoms special and detached from reality. Yes, you're entitled to not want to interact with certain content for reasons no one else is entitled to know unless they have your consent, but you're definitely not entitled to silence/stomp out everyone to cater to your whims or risk getting hate/harassment. Which is why I heavily encourage tagging content as-is instead of denying the nature of said content and praying that no one notices because that is the best way to make it difficult for people with different preferences and tastes to co-exist.

And ever since I changed my rules and actively followed people again, there has been a variety of content on my dash with varying tags. It's honestly very stimulating and uplifting, and if I firmly believe if a mutual were to take offense to anything I write or choose to interact with, it's on them as they clearly did not go through my rules when they followed/followed back. Additionally, I tag all my things.

A few months ago, my dash was exhausting, and boring, everyone (or most of my mutuals) was scared. Now I see posts getting tagged "necrophilia cw". I'm very happy for both my mutuals and their muses for striving for the peaks of how far fiction writing and the imaginative side of the mind can go.

I'd highly recommend anyone who has been in a similar situation to list down your dos and don'ts so your mutuals will know what to take to your tables and what to not. Personally, it felt like my dash had curated itself and it's been very pleasant to be on tum.blr lately even if I still have to vanish for a few more days due to inrl.

I think about my dash very often this week and I love all of you guys for being here and showing me your brainrots/muses! 💗💞💓

Meet The Muses

Tim Wright

Marble Hornets/Creepypasta

Age: 29

Height: 5’ 7”

Gender: Male (He/Him)

Sexuality: Panromantic Asexual

Disorders: Paranoid schizophrenia, seizures, anxiety, depression

Personality: Some may call him a broken man with how he sees the world but its more like he is cautious and tired. He has been through a lot in the past couple of years and his whole world has been shaken. Between seizures, massive bouts of depression as well as hearing and seeing things others can't he is more than a little stressed. He finds himself in odd places with no memory of leaving his home and it causes him to become extremely paranoid. He has a distrust for people and also doesn’t trust himself to be around them thanks to his ‘curse’ or ‘attachment’ to that weird faceless creature that peers into his home from the treeline. 

Headcanons

Had a massive mental break when his schizophrenia started to show in his early 20s causing him to be admitted. He stayed there for over a year before they got him on the right medication to help

While there he started to lose time and have gaps in memory resulting in him becoming confused and more than a little freaked out

Because of this he tends to be on edge when it comes to medical professionals as well as medical buildings and equipment

He is currently seeing a therapist, however, and has been working through his issues and learning coping mechanisms to assist him in everyday life. They have also been looking into his memory gaps but Tim refuses EMDR treatment to really look into it

There is a stray cat that has been trying to worm its way into the house and commonly walks with Tim on his evening walks

Lives just out of town in a rather run down home but the rent is cheap and he doesn’t mind a fixer upper

Is afraid of the dark and has a keychain flashlight for if he is outside when the sun goes down. Sometimes he loses himself and ‘wakes up’ somewhere out in the woods behind the house

Hasn’t stayed in touch with his college friends and is a bit of a recluse. Not leaving the house now that he has a work from home job

Has been trying to quit smoking but has found himself addicted to vaping now instead. Still not that great but he is trying

Tim has the ‘slender sickness’ which is assumed to be the reason behind his seizures but there is no true way to prove it really

Has a sort of Jekyll and Hyde situation with Masky as they are technically the same person. Tim just doesn’t know it other than his memory loss but even then he doesn’t think about himself having a whole different state of consciousness. His only clue is that white mask that keeps showing up in his house no matter how many times he throws it in the garbage

~~~~~~~~~

Masky

Marble Hornets/Creepypasta

Age: 29

Height: 5’ 7”

Gender: Male (He/They)

Sexuality: Aromantic Asexual

Disorders: PTSD

Personality: Masky is a man of few words and some could call him the quiet type. The man doesn’t seem interested in others most of the time and only speaks his truths without concern of how the other person will take it. He has a knack for showing up to places seemingly out of nowhere and has a habit of staring as he sizes up whomever he has found. Masky works for/against the Operator/Slenderman in a constant push/pull relationship with the creature. He is often trying to scare others away from the creature’s haunting grounds but it doesn’t always work. He will never stop trying.

Headcanons

Has quite the temper but is not physically aggressive towards others unless his life or wellbeing is on the line

Does not work for the Operator/Slenderman by choice but has a pretty strong connection to it. Often times his time is spent trying to get away from the creature rather than actually do any of its dirty work

Is ‘technically’ considered a proxy to the Operator/Slenderman though he isn't a very obedient one which causes a lot of headache

Loses his sense of self and free will when the Operator/Slenderman is too close and results in him doing the creature's bidding. This mostly includes stalking and kidnapping though he has had times where he has to get violent

Has the ‘slender sickness’ which results in a lot of coughing and seizure like fits though he is not diagnosed with seizures (he would never go to any medical facility to get it checked out)

Knows of some of the other proxies though he only ever works with one nicknamed ‘Hoodie’ though he doesn’t really feel one way or the other about the rest

Masky knows about Tim in their odd situation though he doesn’t really care about him. Masky is only ever thinking of himself and his own needs rather than an alternate state of consciousness he has no communication with. He also doesn't WANT any communication either

A Battle Tournament RP (again?)

Applications and Stuff

"Good evening, everyone! Or is it morning already? Anyway, you may simply call me Lucoa and I'm here to announce, on behalf of our dear mun, an event that will be held soon.

So what's this event, you might ask? It shall be called Interdimensional Smash Brawl. To simply put, it's a battle tournament for our fighters across the multiverse to showcase their strength. Of course, there are some restrictions but I believe that'll be discussed at another time.

Anyway, we actually have 2 sets of application: one for those who'd like to participate in the tournament and those who'd like to become a host of each match. You may see the current guidelines below."

For participants:

Each entry will have 2 people of different roles: fighter and assist

The fighter, as the name suggests, will be like the one who'll be fighting on stage

As for the assist, they'll provide assistance to their teammate like giving them buffs, debuffing the opponent and so on. However, unlike the fighter, the assist won't be on the stage

Each blog is allowed to register up to 3 entries. If you are a single-muse or prefer to only use one muse, you can ask for another blog to give your muse a partner and discuss which role they'll take.

In each round, the fighter and the assist may switch roles. For example, Muse A was the fighter in Round 1, then becomes assist in Round 2.

While restrictions will be implemented, they'll be slowly lifted each round. This will be explained further in the next announcement.

This will also be a poll-based RP event. More details on how it'll affect the matches will be explained as well in the next announcement.

For hosts:

Their main role is to ensure that the rules of the tournament are followed in their designated matches

As such, hosts are allowed to penalize any or both of the participants who broke any of the rules

Will they be the ones posting the polls? Not really. More details will be explained in the next announcement.

"Both applications are now open. Just reply here with the names of the applicants (muses) and what role they'll be applying for. Just a reminder though that applications for the hosts will be limited as it depends on the number of entries that'll be registered.

If you have any further questions, you make reach out to me or to my mun. See you again soon~"

Update: more guidelines here

𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐈𝐍𝐅𝐎. answer the following for your muse(s) so people know how shipping works on your blog.

𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓'𝐒 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐎𝐓𝐏 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐄𝐒? — all of the ships i'm writing with my partners and mutuals are my OTPs. of course, i have some ship biases for some fandoms that i'm in, however, they don't become OTP until i actually get to write them out with my partners and get to explore the depth of those dynamics. also, i'm very much into rare pairs and crossover ships, so most of the time, my OTPs do not align with popular ships one sees from the fandoms. some of them might not even make sense to others bc the dynamics are specific to the ones i write with my partners, but they're my OTPs because they're unique only to my muses.

𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐎 𝐑𝐏 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐈𝐓 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐆? — other than the usual no-no ( incest, non-con, pedophilia, torture, etc etc ), i'm pretty much open to anything ! i like to delve deep into ships' dynamics and how feelings like love and affection affect their thoughts, their core values, and themselves. i like fluff, feels, angst, and smut. i'd write and explore almost any sort of dynamics as long as it's agreed by both parties. i tend to be more selective and averse of toxic relationships that it'd require extensive plotting and chemistry between muses and muns given the sensitivity of the topic and how easy it could go into unpleasant and dangerous territory emotional and physical-wise.

to add on to that, extreme or graphic violence is also something i'm pretty cautious of. i'm not a big fan of degradation or when one is making their lover / partner feel worthless / beneath them. that sort of treatment tends to damage my muses' feelings and emotions in a negative way. or when you have to work to earn their love / attention ( please don't confuse this with them proving their love / feeling, i'm talking about when you make someone work / beg for attention from their lover or working hard just to get a sliver of their interest. ) that's not a very pleasant experience for me or my muses so i want to stay away from it.

i'm very passionate and connected to my muses, so any emotional stress or turmoil they're experiencing, i do too. that's why i'd only engage in toxic / problematic ships with those i trust. angst just for the sake of pain & sadness is also a no. for development purpose ? i'm all for it. just for it to hurt ? nope. other than that, i'm open to anything !

𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐋𝐀𝐑𝐆𝐄 𝐃𝐎𝐄𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐆𝐄 𝐆𝐀𝐏 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐁𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐌𝐀𝐊𝐄 𝐈𝐓 𝐔𝐍𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐅𝐘? — as someone who write many supernatural and immortal muses, i'm pretty open when it comes to age gap. as long as the muses are mature adults, age gaps aren't much of a problem with me. not to mention, immortal x mortal ships are chef kiss.

𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐆? — yes and no. yes as in i don't jump right into ships with strangers without seeing any chemistry or having plotted them out beforehand. then again, there are times where my muses just click with another that extensive plotting isn't required. which is why i said yes and no. it depends on the chemistry, dynamics, development, and communication ( both ic and ooc. ) some muses of mine are also more selective than others and tend to only be drawn to specific types of muses or personalities, so just because i ship them with someone that doesn't mean they'd be easy to ship with another. of course, there are exceptions for my close mutuals and friends who could literally point to any of my muses and go i want that one and i'd serve them on silver platter, no questions asked.

𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐅𝐀𝐑 𝐃𝐎 𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐌𝐘 𝐌𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐒 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐆𝐎 𝐁𝐄𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘'𝐑𝐄 𝐍𝐒𝐅𝐖? — i'd say when the clothes start to come off and they venture below the waist then it's definitely n.sfw. i mean i usually write my replies at work ( i'm a hard-working employee i promise ) so if things start to get to the point that i have to be careful so my colleagues won't look over to my screen then that's the line for me.

𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐄𝐒 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐄 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇? — gosh, if i list every muses that i'm shipping with it's going to be so long. you could also refer to my mains & exclusives page for some ships & dynamic i have formed ( ship exclusive only applied to canon muses, ofc ! but i also LOVE all the OCs i'm shipping with as well bc canon x OCs are DELICIOUS FOOD. ) i love & adore every single one of them and bless all my wonderful mutuals for giving me such beautiful ships & dynamics for me to scream about !

𝐃𝐎𝐄𝐒 𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐀𝐒𝐊 𝐓𝐎 𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐘𝐎𝐔? — yes please ! i'd like to be asked or at least nudged about it ( bc i'm pretty dense tbh & i'm shy to actually reach out to confirm it unless we know each other well. ) i mean i would also ask if i feel like our muses' dynamic is veering towards romance.

𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐎𝐅𝐓𝐄𝐍 𝐃𝐎 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏? — all the time. sorry not sorry but i'm a ship trash. i love shipping. platonic, romantic, familial, enemies, tension, give me all of it. i love writing my muses in love, i love writing them harboring such strong emotions that would change their whole path and thinking process. i love seeing them being affected by feeling something so intensely that they'd do something they normally wouldn't.

𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐌𝐔𝐋𝐓𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏? — yup ! i love seeing my muses having different dynamics with their partners too much to put a limit on them. however, i'm also willing to make my muses single-ship provided a few conditions; they don't have any existing ships going on, the chemistry between the two muses are really good, and my partner is willing to also commit their muse to be single-ship as well. also, i'm ship-exclusive, meaning if i ship one of my muse with a character, i won't ship them with another portrayal of the same character !

𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏 𝐎𝐁𝐒𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝐎𝐑 𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄 - 𝐎𝐑 - 𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒? — i'd say it's between more and obsessed because i get really invested in my ships. i dive into how my partner's muses mean to mine, how far they're willing to go for them, and i'd SCREAM IN ALL CAPS over ships no matter how many we might have. while i don't expect my partners to be as loud ( read : insane ) as i am about the ships, i'd like them to at least be invested and for interest to be mutual. if i'm the only one getting excited over it, then that's not going to work. i don't have expiration date for my ships, however. even if our muses might not interact constantly or even if it had been a while, i'd be more than ready to dive back into it as long as my partners & mutuals are still interested !

𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓'𝐒 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐅𝐀𝐕𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐄 𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏 𝐈𝐍 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐂𝐔𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐅𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐎𝐌? — i can't possibly pick just one or two out of all the wonderful dynamics i've had the pleasure to explore with all my mutuals ! ofc, i have a bit of a fixation over eden and yínyuè ( and lately, changli as well ) so those who have blessed me with amazing ships for them, you have my heart & soul. they're all my favorite ! i'm also finding it really interesting that most ships i have with eden are crossovers ( told you i love myself some rarepairs & crossover ships. ) thank you for letting my space raccoon love your muses across time & space !

𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘, 𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐃𝐎𝐄𝐒 𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐘𝐎𝐔? — poke me, interact with my shipping call, yank me by the scruff & yell at me ? LITERALLY ANYTHING GOES. just interact with me ic or ooc or both ! throw your muses at mine in random ic posts i made, my opens, memes, or even unprompted ! really, i'm a shipping trash, i love forming new dynamics. you can come at me ic or ooc & i'd shower you with all my love ! whether our muses have interacted before or not, you can always drop in on me if you think our muses might work well together & we can see how it goes from there ! let's have fun ! i don't bite, i promise ! ( my muses do, however. )

LFRP: Francel de Haillenarte

(Looking for: Contacts, friends, acquaintances, and more!)

The Basics:

Age: 25

Race: Elezen

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Queer

Marital Status: It may be Complicated now...

Physical Appearance:

Hair: Blond

Eyes: Blue. Oceanic

Height: 6'7.5"

Build: Slim and softly padded.

Personal:

Occupation: Overseer of the Reconstruction and Operation of the Firmament.

Hobbies: All things musical, namely; Piano, cello, and learning vertical keyed flute. Baking.

Residence: Ishgard, The Last Vigil, Haillenarte Manor

Religion: Halonic Orthodox/The Twelve.

For a Basic Profile:

Likes: Music. The Piano is his favorite, but he plays other instruments. Coffee. Sweets. Greenery and flora. Karakul & other such fauna.

Dislikes: Wine. Presumptuousness. Blizzards.

Strengths: Discerning. Attentive. Earnest. Honest. Tight-lipped.

Weaknesses: Idealistic. Talkative. Insecure. A bit nosy. He can be absent minded.

RP Hooks & Currently Looking For:

Investment Opportunities: Including business operations and entrepreneurs. The acquisition of business from the three major City States was an excellent exercise into what the new District could be, but now he would like to make sure success can grow from within. It was important to bring business back into Ishgard, starting with her people.

(If you are looking for High House connections, this may be your stop!)

Hint: Anything which may aid the Skysteel Workshop in the Firmament, and the Manufactory in the City Proper would also be a stepping stone.

Idea: He may also have a vested interest in baked goods, and sweets.

If you can get close enough: Not quite a rumor, as lord Francel has been hush-hush about it... A scene not dissimilar to the past; goods he had shipped in to the new district come in damaged with a pristine box. Leading him to believe in an outside source of sabotage. While not the leading reason behind why it's being built, he has become the face and driving force, with his leadership, steadily upsetting an internal, or external balance. Will he, and yours, be able to get to the bottom, or is there some aid which may be proffered? (this would be an extensive and cooperative endeavor, across many platforms, with intertwining stories.)

Low Stakes RP Hooks and Opportunities!

Would You Like To Dance?: Francel is, for all intents and purposes, a young lord, as such one would think him versed in the multitude of arts which may be related to music to some extent. Alas, since he was but a child, and despite many lessons, the habit of sneaking out and shirking such duty prevailed, and he wiles away the gala and gatherings in the gardens. He has two left feet now, is it possible then, that one could show him the way? Such world as he lives in, he can no longer get away with being a wallflower, or hidden away with his new public position.

Snowbank Blues: Does your character wander Coerthas? What about Ishgard's city proper? Lord Francel does; between Camp Dragonhead, and Skyfire Locks, as well as near to the ruins of the Steel Vigil and thus, Providence Point to a certain memorial with frequency... He does not always squirrel himself away, and one may find him praying in the cathedral, nestled in a bakery, or at those old encampments. Is that a look of melancholy as he wanders, and as he sits?

Ever Sleepless: The morning is subjective, right? This is said because lord Francel has little (a lot) of trouble sleeping. Is he up early? Or did he go to sleep late? If at all? He can be safely visited at odd hours. Does your character serve a lesser House which would be in contact with House Haillenarte? Lord Francel may just be the easiest contact to have, as a go-between, from their House, to His. Meetings of most any nature can be held in the late, or early mornings, and he will ever lend and ear to any plight with which he may be able to assist.

OOC Outlines & Communication

Hi there! Francel mun here, you can call me Francy, or Fran or other such variations as please you.

The muse and mun are 21+ and respectfully request all who approach to be.

My expectations are maturity, respect and communication. Such facets as I play Francel as, commanding of maturity and respect can be unlocked with our friendship and story progression! Communication is key.

I accept mature themes with communication, romance centric plots, angst, slice of life, adventure. Anything outlined in the hooks are a possibility. But do know, the hooks listed here are not all there is in the world of possibility! But if you are lost, they could be a starting point. I am open to all kinds of possibilities, and would love the chance to explore with you. Please know, interaction is NOT limited to just within Ishgard and Coerthas, he can travel abroad now! And will have to, from time to time, for business.

Response times vary, but I like to think I am very considerate of your time! I also write to match, most times. Short-form and long-form, or, from several sentence story lines, to multi length paragraph plots. Simplistic, or introspective. Flavors can change.

In-game roleplay is a little harder for me, but I do enjoy it, this will take some planning and cooperation.

First contact me here for communication purposes before we move to such platforms as Guilded, or Discord.

Hope I have done this right!

language: how have shifts in language affected my muse? 

This is ABSOLUTELY a Milo-coded question

The effect hasn't been as strong as one might think, and this is largely because Atlantis is so isolated* and Milo only visits the surface world sometimes (in some verses, he goes less often because the world is falling to shit and Atlantis is literally the only safe place).

Modern slang drives him absolutely batshit because it's nearly impossible to figure out without knowing some reference or influencer. Plus, many words have become much more ambiguous, their meaning determined entirely by context. Some words have completely lost their original meanings and origins altogether as different sides of various issues twist the definitions of common words to suit their agenda, to the point where if you ask two people the meaning of a word, chances are you'll get two very different answers (that in some cases will conflict with each other or outright contradict each other) and there's no way to know which is right, or if there even is a right answer. Not to mention the speed at which new words appear and replace others that then disappear as if they never existed.
