#look man sometimes you gotta write a multi paragraph post about that one two and a half minute song you love

[snowstories]

I’ve been listening to the Pick a Side bonus track of the Lightning Thief musical and there’s just so much I love about it? I’m really sad it’s not in the main soundtrack bc I personally think it does a way better job than almost all of the other songs of showing exactly what the/Luke’s problem with the gods is; the fact that they expect their children to be loyal to them, to worship them, to fight them, but never do anything for them in return and neglect them entirely. The rest of the musical (in my opinion) doesn’t do as good of a job of portraying just how serious this situation is (like, The Campfire Song is catchy and all that, but uh. The gods don’t interact with their kids. that’s... kind of the point). 

But in Pick a Side, you really feel that tension. Like, it’s still funny (this is still PJO after all), but the situation is pretty fucked up, with Clarisse and Silena preparing for an all out war and knowing that it won’t be possible for them to stay out of it. Mainwhile, Luke is over there going ‘this isn’t our fight, why should we fight it?’ and he’s right. 

That’s another thing I think Pick a Side does better than most of the musical (or at least the soundtrack, I’ve never gone to see the musical): portraying just how right Luke is. That’s a big thing in the books, and a very key part of the story; although Kronos is not a better option than the gods and it was stupid of Luke to think he was, Luke’s grudge against the gods is still completely justified. The war didn’t start because Luke trusted Kronos, it started because the gods refused to take their responsibilities. It’s why Luke ends the series as a hero, and why Percy uses his wish to get the gods to finally pay attention to their children.

Listening to Pick a Side, you’re just rooting so hard for Luke, because he’s right, the gods are assholes, they shouldn’t have to pick a side, and although I do think the musical does a pretty good job of overall giving the sense that Luke has a point/the gods are assholes, I think Pick a Side does it to an extent no other songs do, and it’s just a really good reflection of the whole problem. 

Aside from that, I also really like the double meaning in a lot of Luke’s words throughout the song. Knowing he’s the Lightning Thief really makes a lot of his lines either absolutely infuriating (’we don’t know who stole the bolt’ sure you don’t you bitch) or very interesting in a way a sec reading doesn’t. His insistence that they don’t have to ‘pick a side’ takes on another meaning knowing that he is, in fact, working to a third option, namely Kronos. 

It also becomes hypocritical, because if Kronos does start a fight against the gods, the demigods are going to have to end up picking a side anyway. This song is really very good at utilizing Luke’s surprise villain nature and giving subtle hints towards it (for people who didn’t know/guess, which to be fair, I think are a small minority, but still. it’s the principle of the thing). 

Aside from that, it’s also nice to see Clarisse and Silena have an actual friendship, since that was super interesting in The Last Olympian (although Silena’s character is... uh... less good than in the books). 

Lastly,

Silena: My mom doesn’t believe in war!

Clarisse: Oh yeah? Then why does she keep texting my dad?

Luke: ...Wow. 

is absolutely hilarious, holy shit.

where has the time gone? (long-term, originals, gay)

hey y’all! it’s been a while but i am back! hope y’all have been staying safe and healthy.

ok so i’m jo, she/her, GMT+3, 24 as of about a week ago woop! and i’m here to create some fun stories with some fun people! however… there is a twist this time (sort of). basically, right now i’m looking for roleplays that are more character-based than story-based. i’ve got a bunch of existing characters whom i’d love to get the chance to use, and i’d really love to hear about your character(s) and see ‘em in action! there’s still going to be a plot, of course. i’m just thinkin’ maybe we can come up with a plot based on the characters we decide to use rather than the other way around? if that’s not your jam, stick around, ‘cause i’ve also got a couple specific plot cravings which i’ll list further down!

so even with this little specification, i’ve still gotta tell you about what i’m into and not so into! first off, i usually do third person, past tense, multi-paragraph/sometimes novella stuff, though i’d be down for present tense if that’s more your thing! i’d also totally love trying shorter posts or even script style because it’s less pressure on me. either way, i’m the type whose word count depends on what’s happening in the story, so if you need long replies every time, i may not be the one for you! whether you write a paragraph or a hundred paragraphs is completely up to you, i do not expect you to match me or whatever! as long as you give me something to work with, we are gucci.

also, how often i can post a reply to the roleplay differs greatly, but i’ll almost always be able to chat ooc! (did I mention i love chatting with my partners?) consistency is not my strongest suit (especially after getting animal crossing lmao), so if you’re looking for a set amount of posts per day/week, i sadly cannot guarantee this. the good news is that i also don’t expect you to be consistent! take all the time you need, i’m not gonna hassle you for a post.

i’m good with both romantic and platonic relationships! i love romance in my stories but great friendships are just as satisfying! we could also just not pre-plan any romances and see if the characters come together naturally. HOWEVER—and this is very important—i DO NOT do heterosexual romance! m//, f// (trans characters included if you were wondering), and nb romance are A+++, but if we play a man and woman, don’t expect anything other than friendship!

speaking of romance, i am fine with including smut or fading to black, it’s up to your preference! another important thing to note: the whole top/bottom/dom/sub thing? not my jam. at all. i kind of make my characters without really taking into consideration which ‘role’ they’d have in bed so they’re all switches and that’s that on that. hopefully you feel similarly! we can talk about the specifics later, but my limits are pretty much the basics: no adult/minor pairings, toilet stuff, romanticized abuse, etc. i’m good with other mature themes like violence and alcohol and stuff too, but i don’t need ‘em in my story if you prefer keeping things on the more wholesome side. you still have to be 18+ to contact me regardless!!!!!!

my favorite genres involve supernatural, magical, or otherworldly themes in general. a lot of my characters are non-human (but they’re humanoid or use human vessels in case you were worried about that) or have magic capabilities. i do have a handful of good ol’ regular humans too if that’s what you prefer, though! however, don’t get me wrong: i’m super down for some cute stuff just involving regular humans as well. more on that later.

i’ve really been craving something involving royalty lately! a royal and their guard, two royals stuck in an arranged marriage, a royal and a thief, a magic academy for royals (ok this doesn’t fall into the ‘regular ol’ humans’ category but still!). the list goes on! childhood friends reuniting is also something i’d love to do, especially if the reunion is awkward/bitter because their last encounter wasn’t the best. i’m honestly down for so many things, just hit me with plot ideas and i’ll let you know!

one last thing: i prefer ooc chatter on discord and the actual roleplay being through email/gdocs, but i don’t mind trying out roleplaying on discord as well if you’re willing to be patient with me!

whew ok this has gone on for way too long. contact me at 32nd.of.august@gmail.com and tell me about yourself and your characters/plots! i’ll tell you about my characters then because this is too long already and i’d like to know what themes you’re into before i start yammering on about absolutely everyone! i’ll give you my discord afterwards and we can go on from there! i probably missed something, so feel free to ask me anything you want to know more about in your email!

rules.

general etiquette.

please be respectful. i don’t think that needs to be repeated. you’re free to critique certain aspects about my muse, but i can guarantee you their core personality is something i won’t change. also, if you’re going to critique my muse, just don’t be a dick about it, and be constructive please

also hi, i’m indian. i’m hindi indian. i most likely have quite a bit more authority than you do about nahyuta’s religious and cultural background. no, i’m not the most terribly versed in hinduism, just like most christians don’t know the bible cover to cover, but i’m acutely aware of my own culture and thus channel that into him, so no, it isn’t appropriating.

i’m hugely all for the idea of casually IM’ing, and the concept doesn’t scare me, even if it’s just to spot-check on little details here and there. i’m also well-known for freely im’ing people, so just let me know if that makes you uncomfortable!

if i interact with you, it means i’ve read your bio, probably multiple times! you don’t have to worry about that.

roleplaying.

hey so i have a life; please don’t pester me repeatedly about our threads. probably once a week is a good time to poke me.

don’t godmod ( attempt to control my muse during your reply ) cuz that’s pretty bad. if during your reply, you want my muse to do something, 90% of the time it’s cool, but please just double-check with me in an IM or something. 

in fact, i pretty much only roleplay with plots involved. they can be silly or lighthearted, or dark if you want, but i’m just no good at random starters where two folks who know nothing about each-other just kinda gotta smoosh themselves together. it’s weird sometimes okay. that being said, i’m cool with pretty much any topic and i’m always down for an interesting thread where they Don’t Just smoosh into each-other y’know.

my IMs are always open for plotting and stuff, and once we get to know one-another and i’m cool with you, i can hand out my discord.

i don’t rp nsfw. that doesn’t mean i’m against it; hell i’m all for it, but the idea of writing it out just seems to go on longer than i ever would like. i’m usually all for the idea of rp’ing foreplay and aftercare, but not really the act, y’know? fade to blacks are where it’s at with me. also if you’re a minor, i won’t even do that sorta stuff with you. it’s illegal kids.

i do rp other stuff, like violence, etc., and i will most definitely tag it as well as put a read more before the triggering thing happens. more on that in the tagging section. i’m usually okay with most topics ( unless it’s otherwise stated in my mun section with my own triggers ), but run it by me first.

nahyuta doesn’t really swear,but i curse like a sailor and i don’t usually think about tagging it, but if it makes you uncomfortable i’ll def make exceptions!

also while i have some pretty predetermined headcanons for my muse’s relationships with others, i’m always down to discuss it and compromise. it isn’t fair for me to have complete control, or you to have complete control, of the headcanon present unless we both look at each-other and agree with it.

i always kinda try to go with the writing flow, but not necessarily match length. i’m always down for one- and some-liners, but if i give you a paragraph, please don’t give me a one-liner. i get the impression you’re not interested, so if you don’t wanna give that impression just Don’t do that. i also won’t try to give you paragraphs if we’ve established a one- and some-liner flow. 

i also don’t use icons? so that’s a thing. it’s too hard to keep up with all of them man.

following.

as on my description, i’m selective. i won’t follow you unless i wanna interact with you.

i’m also more selective about multi-verse characters, especially if it’s a fandom i don’t know ( and i don’t know a lot of fandoms, so just bear with me ). this counts for professor layton, since i haven’t played PL vs. AA. if you’re an oc, i’m cool with that, just please have a bio so i know who i’m working with and how my muse could interact with them best.

i don’t follow / rp with personal blogs. also if you’re a personal, please don’t reblog my posts.

i will not follow if ( don’t take these personally it’s not your fault! ) — you’re a double; you don’t have a rules / mun page; you don’t have an about; you don’t trim posts; i don’t see how our characters could interact ( within and outside of ace attorney fandom )

i will unfollow if — you post a lot of ooc things not relevant to rp; your rp blog is also your personal but also not sometimes you know the ones; you say something against my beliefs; if something on your blog makes me uncomfortable. i’m not really obligated to tell you why if we aren’t super close

nahyuta prefers males. he’s never gonna end up with a girl. please don’t try to convince him or me.

this blog is multi-ship, and what relationships he’s in can be found in his verses ( if you care about that stuff idk ). ships are based off chemistry, as i’m the kinda person that likes the softer, more romantic feelings between muses and a lot of intentional strife for the sake of Ship Drama and Constant Angst makes me tired. like i’m all for occasional angst for relationship development but like please

i don’t ship nahyuta with anyone under the age of 20 ( so 21+ for the folks at home watching ). no minors, of course, for obvious reasons, but i’m also deeply uncomfortable with the idea of a 25 year old man being together with a fresh adult. it’s not pedophilia sure but i still find it morally wrong as to why a 25 year old man can’t find a relationship with people his age. don’t try to convince me or i’ll hard block you like so fast.

i also don’t ship nahyuta with any of his siblings ( apollo and rayfa ). i don’t care what you say about ‘oh apollo isn’t really related to him’ please go find some other nahyuta who’s willing to do something that morally wrong ya nasties actually tell me who you are first so i can block you first and tell all my friends to block you too

mun.   

  hello! i’m ji-ji, your local nonbinary blob on the internet! i’m 21 years old and use they/them pronouns!

i have clinically diagnosed depression, anxiety, and borderline personality disorder ( bpd ), and i’m currently going to university, so such things can definitely intrude on my reply speed and motivation.

i also happen to be a part of and mod a pokemon rp group, which is my main fandom! considering this is a secondary / side fandom, i might not be on this blog that often. that being said, i’m relatively new to indie rp, and especially that of ace attorney rp. the last time i did indie ( though it was here on tumblr ), was back before we had im’ing, if that tells you anything, so the new landscape of indie and how it works is rather daunting for me, so please be patient

i have triggers, but they’re only brought about without proper warning, IE if you don’t run it by me and it happens very suddenly. these triggers are: major character death, verbal abuse, & emotional abuse — namely gaslighting. again, if this is brought up ahead of time, it’s fine, minus the major character death. please don’t have your muse up and die on me mid-thread.

the only games i haven’t played are Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney and Investigations 2 ( though i’ll get to it… i’ll get to it alright… )

i really love making new friends and ace attorney is one that i’m really passionate about and have been in for a long time! you’re always free to IM me just to talk about stuff!

thank you for reading this. you’re wonderful 💕

hoo boy so klavier is a big gay. he’s literally never thought about dating a girl in his life. please don’t try to convince him or me.

this blog is multi-ship, and what relationships he’s in can be found in his verses ( if you care about that stuff idk ). ships are based off chemistry, as i’m the kinda person that likes the softer, more romantic feelings between muses and a lot of intentional strife for the sake of Ship Drama and Constant Angst makes me tired. like i’m all for occasional angst for relationship development but like please

if you even think about shipping klavier and kristoph please leave. actually let me know who you are first so i can block you and tell my friends to block you too. that’s how much i’m against it

there’s never gonna be a situation where klavier’s gonna have a healthy relationship with daryan. i’m all for it in an unhealthy way but if you try to make your daryan ooey-gooey and suddenly everything klavier’s ever wanted, it’s weird, out of canon, and i’m not for it. the man went to jail for smuggling shit in klavier’s own guitar and blew it up to destroy the evidence he doesn’t love him That Much.

klavier is a frivolous big gay flirt and he’ll probably flirt with any male muse that’s age-appropriate. i don’t ship klavier with anyone under the age of 20 ( so 21+ for the folks at home watching ). no minors, of course, for obvious reasons, but i’m also deeply uncomfortable with the idea of a 25 year old man being together with a fresh adult. it’s not pedophilia sure but i still find it morally wrong as to why a 25 year old man can’t find a relationship with people his age. don’t try to convince me or i’ll hard block you like so fast.
