Can you believe it’s been seven years? Seven years?! Since I entered the rpc??? (I mean I made my first rp blog in 2012 but didn’t rp fully until 2013 lmao.) And I’ve never ever made a follow forever or official thank you thing ever??? I guess I answer memes but I’ve never officially gone out and made a thing to properly thank people lol.

So here’s a thing! Since I came back to the rpc this year, I’ve honestly felt more appreciated than ever, and even though I’ve recently done a meme for this kind of thing I want to do an official kind of thing to thank you guys for following me all the way to the end of this year! Also, I’ve made it to the end of 2019 and uni hasn’t killed me yet so we might as well celebrate that whilst we’re at it.

I’m going to start off by thanking all of my wonderful followers for actually following me upon my return to the rp world! It really feels like I was gone forever and part of me was worried that I’d come back to nothing or very few of my old partners, but you’ve all honestly welcomed me back with open arms and I’ve even met some new people! You’re all so kind and friendly and have such wonderful characters/canon depictions that if I had the mental energy or time (or, you know, the ability to be social without being awkward around new people), I would be threading with more of you! But I am an exhausted fool so obviously that isn’t happening yet. But I just want to let you know that I love you all and am so thankful for you guys making it to the end of 2019 with me!

And now for the special mentions! (Got kinda long so under the read more!)

To my rp partners (the nerds who put up with my craziness and scattered brain/weirdo ocs):

@mirror-image-rp – You know what I’m gonna start with you because I love you a lot and you are my longest remaining rp partner. Honestly, honestly, this sweet bean is so kind and funny and I just want to thank you for sticking by me and being my close friend all these years. Even when I’ve been awkward, or overexcitable, or just irritating/clingy (because I know very well that I can be). As I’ve mentioned before, I wouldn’t have all these children I do have now if it weren’t for you – both Jodie and Jake came to life through you, and everyone else through them, and it’s all of these muses together that have kept me in the rp world. Thank you, thank you, thank you for being so creative and sticking by me and creating worlds with me and just plain talking with me; I am so proud of you for everything, and honestly, I look forward to all of these children reattaching themselves to yours (lol Rachel’s already started) in the New Year. Love you lots!!!

@a-simple-rper – Nyra!!! My bean!!! My broski!!! There is so much to thank you for!! We’ve been real close friends for almost six years, which is so crazy to think about, and every single one of those years has been full of crazy fun times! Thank you so much for having such a huge impact on my children!! The little family we started forming way back when with Jake and Sam and Rick has grown so much over the years, and now I honestly can’t imagine my muses without yours – to the point where our verse is really my main verse and Kat and Laura now have distinct types that they fall for and won’t go for anything else! Thank you so much for every single conversation you’ve had with me, and I 100% look forward to letting our little family grow bigger and bigger as we add more and more muses to it!!

@astrologicallyperfect – Dearest pure bean Hanna, you deserve so much love, omg. I still remember you from way back and, honestly, thank you for still coming back to these idiots I call muses? Thank you for sticking with me and creating a million AUs and creating a whole world with all these muses we have that I love so much – all these ships and friendships we have just make me fall more and more in love with this world with powers that we’ve created and I honestly thank you for putting up with my crazy and my dumbassery for all this time, sweetpea. I honestly get so excited creating universes and AUs and headcanons with you and I just can’t wait to create even more!!!

@thegallantspirit – If I were to say that Lux was one of my relatively newer friends, even I wouldn’t believe it. I honestly feel like I’ve known you for so long, and I just want to thank you so much for becoming my friend and basically being an all around kind and sweet person! Thank you so much for actually rping with me, even when I’m spotty and a little bit manic at times, and for loving on my less-loved children! Thank you also for pulling me into your rp group and introducing me to so many wonderful people! You are honestly so kind and sweet to me!

@damagedbyfate – Patty!!! I honestly don’t think I thank you or appreciate you enough for all you’ve done for me. One of my newer friends, I was definitely real shy when I approached you for the first time because you had all these muses, but really you and your many muses are wonderful! You’re so kind and friendly and open and thank you so much for still being kind and friendly to me even when my brain isn’t wanting to cooperate with me as much! Honestly some of my muses really look forward to forming closer relationships with yours, and I look forward to threading and rping with you more in the new year!!

@lokitheliesmith – Okay but, Z, you’ve been one of my longest rp partners and I am very much glad that we started threading way back when Allie had her own blog. You are honestly such a kind person and even if I seem awkward, I very much enjoy chatting with you ooc. Heck, even Allie looks back fondly on our first thread together. Thank you so much for (still) rping with me and chatting with me and even offering to keep me accountable for my sleep schedule! You really help me out a lot and have generally been a sweetheart and I just thank you so much for that. Have a wonderful New Year, and my muses and I really look forward to continuing to thread with you!!

@hermosa-pesadilla/ @tattedasshole – Jess, you are, honestly, so kind whenever I do end up chatting with you that it makes me wish that I kicked my ass into gear and chatted with you more. Thank you so much for being kind to me and for threading with my sweet boy, Obed! Not many people actually thread with my sweetheart and I’m glad that he’s found a friend in Abby! I honestly wish all the best for you in the New Year, and thank you for being so wonderful! Obed and I definitely look forward to threading with you more!!!

@natvralforce – Imma be honest with you Rey whenever I think of you I feel like a uni grandma and just want you protected and buried in blankets and love. You are an absolute sweetheart and I love your sweet child and!!! Thank you for shipping with George!!! He usually exhausts everyone but he really loves Ali a lot and I feel like I’m holding him back a lot of the time lol. Thank you so much for following me and threading with me and accepting my hyperactive danger boy who is literally a walking hazard. I really look forward to threading with you more in the New Year!!

@thexcourageous – Honestly, Rosie, I can’t believe I’ve been threading with you and Bailey and Alex for so long! You’re a sweetheart and a joy to chat and thread with, and thank you so much for still putting up with my dumbass muses. I honestly love the fact that we still thread in the PJO world because I rarely venture into that fandom anymore but I love that I can throw my muses into their demigod verse with you and continue to explore that side of them! Thank you for rping with me and sticking with me for so long! Good luck to you in everything, and I look forward to rping with you more in the New Year!

@sxilingthegalaxy – Aaaaaah Briana! I know we thread only a little bit, but thank you so much for even that! I very much like your muse, Elayne, and throwing Alex into a situation where he feels so awkward gives me so much life you don’t understand. (He’s so egotistical half the time!) I honestly very much look forward to threading more with you in the coming year!

To those I don’t thread with on here (at the moment):

Also, thank you so much to these people! We may not thread on tumblr/may not thread at the moment/may not have started threading properly yet, but that doesn’t mean I don’t still appreciate you! (You guys are still here following this blog so I must be doing something right...) Thank you so much for chatting with me and being so friendly and sweet, whether we’re just plotting or having a general conversation, and if we haven’t started threading properly yet or even come up with a plot for our muses, I look forward to eventually threading with you in the New Year!

@detholmes @musesofthenight @sunshinexwritings @standfortheangels @angry-nobleman

And to all you beautiful people! (A.k.a. my followers!):

And you know what, I can’t end this post without giving another general thank you to all (39) of my followers! I know there aren’t many of you, but I’m grateful to you all, and just want you all to know that I am very much open to chatting with you, getting to know you and loving on you all! You’re all so wonderful for allowing my little dumbass self exist on your dashboards.

I hope you all have an absolutely wonderful New Year, and I look forward to continuing to chat with you guys and thread with you guys in the new decade! Love you all!

@mirror-image-rp liked to meet... eleanor

Eleanor raised an eyebrow at the person in front of her. “If you wouldn’t mind moving, please? I have groceries to buy and studies to return to, and you are currently in my path.”

A Second Chance || Craig & Allie

@mirror-image-rp

“No, Joseph.”

Allie sounded exasperated as she held her phone to her ear, trying to listen patiently to her son as he complained, yet again, about being at school in the UK and being forcibly pulled out of education in the US just because his mother got a new job. Now he just wanted to leave and go live with one of his uncles in the States (he still had something against his dad, and refused to even talk to him when he called). But sending a seventeen-year-old away on his own to live with one of his uncles, both of whom had very busy lives as it was?

She would rather throw him into boarding school. In Ghana.

Grabbing her coffee and giving the barista a smile in thanks, she quickly turned to leave the small Costa, hoping to at least make it to the bus stop to catch the next bus. Buses in this area sucked.

“But mom—”

“You are not, under any circumstances, going to the States to study if you’re not living with your father. You know this. We have discussed this. We’re not discussing this again.”

“What if I want to discuss this?”

Allie grit her teeth at the stubbornness that he so obviously got from her. She was so busy trying to reason with him as to why he couldn’t just up and leave his family that she didn’t notice she was heading straight for someone until she crashed into them, her mocha going everywhere.

“Ah! Frick.” She pursed her lips when she heard the sniggering on the other line. “Jo-Jo, I’ll call you back,” she snipped, ending the call before he could say anything else.

“Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry…”

i'm yelling @mirror-image-rp and i have only been threading again since about the beginning of the year and we've already initiated the angst train at full speed

[illicreatxm]

@mirror-image-rp​ | continued from here

Rachel had to crack a smile at his slight laugh. Honestly, if it wasn’t for the fact that he’d rolled straight past the ramp in favour of heading for the stairs, she probably wouldn’t have said anything. He was probably just lucky that she was heading to the exact same coffee shop to get some work done.

New atmosphere, better concentration, they said.

“I mean, if you want to get in yourself, there’s a ramp right round the side?” she suggested, before shrugging. “Not many people know about it, but when you need to get around on crutches you tend to find out all sorts of things.” She paused. “Unless you’d rather go up the steps. I can help with that too.”

@mirror-image-rp​ | continued from here

Obed raised a single eyebrow as he leaned on the wall, his hands in his pockets. Granted, she had a point, and his height, stature, and the fact that he was wearing dark clothes probably didn’t help soothe her nerves, but it was also very dark and he didn’t like the thought of a young person walking around alone.

“Hey, I just spotted you walking around in the dark. If I was going to murder you, I don’t think I would’ve warned you.”

Y Questions for Kat and Laura!

now i know my abcs~ [always accepting!] | @mirror-image-rp

1. how old were you when you created them?

Ooooooh... Kat was created as a result of Allie having a postgraduate verse, so probably around 2013/2014? Laura definitely came later, most likely in 2014. Or 2013. They didn’t really come into their own until 2014, when I actually started threading them.

2. what inspired you to create them?

Kat was Allie’s lazy roommate! I don’t know what inspired them really, but just the idea of Allie being forced to be the adult after suffering through high school in a foreign country was amusing to me at the time. And Laura came about because I wanted a reason for Kat’s laziness that wasn’t just her parents pampering her or not having to do anything at home.

3. were they different when they were first created?

Kat was actually a lot more outgoing and lazy when I created her, and not as intellectual. I don’t know how, but now she’s more willing to do things (probably because she’s a parent now lol) and actually more emotionally closed off to people she doesn’t know. It might be because I’m spending too much time in her powers!au, where she’s emotionally closed off and basically gets her emotions from her sister.

Laura was 100% a bitch then... and still a bitch now, lol. She hasn’t changed much. She just has a specific type now and won’t be a slut for everyone. Just for guys who seem to play “hard to get”.

4. do you enjoy writing them more than other characters?

Kind of? They actually have better planning in terms of verses than my original muses at times, and they have such happy families in my main verse! Plus, Laura leaves a lot more room for relationship growth with Rick and her kids, which is always fun.

5. what’s your favorite thing about them?

The fact that they’re identical twins, but completely different personality wise. They’re fun to play for different reasons - Kat because once you get close to her, she’s crazy and fun, and Laura because she’s so bossy and independent that anyone breaking past that side of her has literally hit the jackpot.

[illicreatxm]

@mirror-image-rp is actually a gem and I love her pls love on her too thnx

♡ mirror-image-rp

hi. hello. yeah you. i love you. [always accepting!!]

okay okay okay okay okay i received 4 asks at the same time and you know what i just knew i had to leave you for last because there is SO MUCH i need to say about this wonderful child. be prepared for a history lesson, yo.

@mirror-image-rp has gone by 2 other blog names on here: the-terrible-twins and breaking-point-rp. i have experienced both changes. that should probably tell you something about how long i have known this nerd.

i have known molly since 2013. she is, legit, my oldest rp partner that is still around in the rp world. granted, she’s only recently come back (oh my gosh my children and i MISSED YOU when you were gone), but she has been around for so long i don’t even feel like she even left.

molly was the first, the first, rp partner i had who showed me what it was like to have a million crazy ideas and run with them. i had never, never had an rp partner before her who let me give ideas, took the ideas, and exploded them into something even bigger and better than i could ever imagine. she created whole worlds with me where my muses were old, young, had powers, were famous... she introduced me to the idea of alternate universes and created millions with me, and literally drew my muses out of the little shells they were originally hiding in. believe me when i say that allie would be the ONLY muse here if it weren’t for her. without her. jake and jodie came to life because of her original characters, and through jake and jodie came all of these other children you know and love. my biggest universe which spanned across almost THREE GENERATIONS of muses came from my worldbuilding with her. i learnt so much from her and her characters - so much about writing and character building and world development and muse relationships that it transformed my rp experience.

and molly is so creative and lovely!!! we were mere babs when we met, but from the start she has been so kind and open to ideas, so creative and enthused about doing something new!! she has such a passion for writing and creating stories that i honestly had never encountered this strongly before coming to tumblr, and i admire that in her so damn much. i know that she hasn’t had the easiest of rp experiences (honestly, who has?) but she has been so resilient and has gone through a lot and i admire her for everything she’s come through. she is so much stronger as a person than i think even she realises.

i know we’ve both grown a lot in the time we’ve been apart as both friends and rp partners, to the point where our characters and writing styles are either completely different or near unrecognisable compared to who and what they were a couple of years ago before we both went on bigass hiatuses, but i’d just like to say that i love you and who you are so incredibly much, and that you are a most wonderful bean that deserves so much love. if i was where you are i would hug you so much.

welcome back, wonderful bean!!!

@mirror-image-rp liked for a winter/christmas drabble!

A Snowy Day

Rachel sighed as she looked out of the window, watching the snow as it slowly fell, settling on the pavement. This was the first time in a while that they’d had a snow that actually settled, and she thought it was really pretty. As much as she was a lover of spring and new beginnings, the snow was gorgeous.

Looking down from her room, she noticed a certain somebody trying to wheel themselves through the snow. Like an idiot. Sighing, she ran downstairs, opening the front door.

“Where on earth are you going?” she called out, and Andrew paused mid-push, looking back over at Rachel.

“The library!” he called back.

“In this weather?”

“We still have exams!”

“Exam season will have finished before you even get to the library!” Pausing for a moment, she quickly grabbed her coat, boots and keys before running out to him and grabbing the handles to his chair. “Look, Andy, you’re not gonna make it far.”

“Not without your help.”

“I’m not helping you. You can forget it,” she huffed. Then she looked back towards her house. “You can study at mine, though. I’ve got tea and coffee and hot chocolate, and you don’t live that far.”

He seemed to contemplate it, before sighing, and Rachel took that as a sigh of resignation. “Fine… but you have the good stuff, right?”

“Why wouldn’t I?” She slowly began to wheel him back to her place, pushing through the snow. “Just to let you know, though, if you ever do something stupid like this again, I’m leaving you out to freeze in the snow.”

“Would you really do that to a cripple?” he teased.

“No, but I’d do it to you.”

@mirror-image-rp

“Happy Valentines day!" 

The cute set of rosey pink suitcases looked incredibly similar to Craig’s own set in gunmetal grey, and the tags (which he presented atop a heart-shaped box of chocolate) now matched as well. 

"I figured you’d need them, what with us going to Keswick next weekend. I booked us a holiday cottage near the town centre. Surprise!" 

Allison’s eyebrows rose when she spotted the gifts. The chocolates were good - she didn’t even have to taste them to know that. But suitcases? They were pretty suitcases, but why on earth would someone give her suitcases as a Valentine’s gift?

Her question was answered when he told her they were going to Keswick for the weekend.

“Keswick?” Her eyes widened. “Really? You’re taking me on holiday?” For our first Valentine’s? “Oh my goodness, Craig...” She ignored the sound of Rebecca’s squealing and Joseph’s retching in the background. “That is incredibly sweet! Oh, I am very much looking forward to this holiday!”
