😝 (Erenville & Stella, if more than one is okay! ♡)

Who'd have guessed that the Warrior of Light would find herself in this situation? The Au Ra had made a snide remark to Y'shtola, which the mage did not find amusing, therefore Stella was transformed into a frog. Sighing, the woman hopped along the walkway, realizing this was the result of her statements. It wasn't even a poor joke; maybe Y'shtola was just grumpy that day. Hoping the effects wouldn't last too long, she skipped along a few rocks while trying to evade the beasts' attention.

"Ribbit, ribbit 【Being transformed into something as tiny as a frog is embarrassing, to say the least.】"

The tiny frog sighed as it sprang into the air and gracefully landed, but she instantly became frozen as her tiny frog legs became trapped in a trap. She had not anticipated coming upon this, which made the situation even more awkward. There was only one person she knew who was looking for samples across all of Eorzea. It was Erenville, the Viera she'd met in Old Sharlayan. He was actually much kind than he let on. Curt, but not in a cruel way, a very straight forward gleaner that did his best to collect samples. 

Stella jumped up and down and shouted at the Viera, but all that came out were a variety of Ribbits. She could have been berating the twelve or saying whatever she felt, and barely anyone would have been able to comprehend her at all. Curse Y'shtola for finding it amusing to shrink the Au Ra to such a small size. It made her feel even more powerless, just wait till she changes back. The dark mage will be hearing some harsh words.

She felt someone gently pick her up, breaking the tiny frog's train of thinking. Stella turned to look at Erenville and froze in an awkward position after meeting his gaze. If she remained silent, he may dismiss her as just another frog then set her free in the wilderness. But with him there, at least the local creatures wouldn't keep coming at her like she was an afternoon snack.

"Ribbit…Ribbit…【Put me down, please; this is embarrassing enough as it is.】"

Stella's eyes widened as she observed Erenville struggling not to laugh. Wait, does that mean that he could understand what she was saying even when she was as small as a frog? Even though she was merely making frog noises, he handled the situation with amazing ease. Her frog arms were crossed over her chest as she tapped her foot and she looked up at him. Even as Au Ra, she was still petite, especially in comparison to a Viera and Erenville, who was so tall.

"Ribbit..RIBBIT RIBBIT!!! 【Well..whatever you got to say please just get it over with. As you can see I’m hardly in the position to argue.】

1, 3, 7, 8, 11, 22

      Watch as I get banned from the RPC because I got some really unpopular opinions!! Lol, in all seriousness, please remember that these are MY OPINIONS and my opinions only and we don't have to agree on all - or even any - of these to still get along and be friendly!! Life is all about finding people who challenge your life views, and finding some who solidify some life views; growth is important!! 

 Anyway, onto the answers:

1. What would prevent you from following someone?: No rules, bio, alt fc if they're animated - if i don't see them cutting their posts, if i see too much vague blogging; the reblogging of chain mail, huge ooc posts (ie the 'do you love the sky' posts and things of that sort, not mun talking posts). If I don't see our characters interacting, if there's unnecessary amounts of hate on the blog - like I'm going to be honest, I am really picky about who I follow.

3. What current rp trend do you hate?: welp imma get kicked out!! the trend of google docs!! i'm sorry but like no thank you to this one ever!! i give no one permission into my google docs and i never will!! sorry not sorry! i'm terrified of hackers because we all know that that shit can get hacked - data is never safe and i will never risk my important stuff just to follow the current aesthetics of the rpc.

7. What’s your opinion on call out posts?: do you have unbiased proof?? then i'm okay with it, but given that that rarely happens, i hate call out posts. they're wrapped up in the purity culture that now surrounds fandom - where ship and let ship no longer matters; where everything has to be some kind of performative social action or else it doesn't matter!! i'm here to escape from rl problems, to let myself get lost in the mind numbing fanfic and gifsets and rp blogs, not be forced to focus on real life issues!!

8. Name any three things about the rpc that bother you.:

1) the trend of villains needing to be redeemable to be considered good characters - though this one has threads in the main fandom culture, you can still find it rampant in the rpc and i fucking hate it. gimme toxic shitty villains - hell just any toxic shiity people because those are so realistic!! - pls and thank you.

2) i have seen people lying about their ages to get around other's rules about rping with underage people and i'm not here for that. i'm 26 going on 27, i don't want to rp with anyone under 20, it's nothing against you it's just my blog is not a completely safe space - claire has skeletons in her past (so do i) and i ain't got the time or energy to waste trying to figure out how to censor it for younger people.

3) the basis that somehow aesthetics are important to the quality of a writer?? idk why but somehow writing quality is less important than how a blog/writer makes their blog look like, or put their texts, or like ??? idk i can't stand it. i mean, i don't like big giant gif icons or pictures si u do get it (i mean look at number 1 up there, so many things) but at the same time, i'm willing to sacrifice blog aesthetics if a rper is like really in tune with their character because i'm here for character development, not a popularity contest. i did high school and while it wasn't that shitty for me, i don't want to go back!!

11. What do you know now about rp that you wish you knew when you first started?: that not everybody is reasonable and kind!! some people take this rping thing a little too seriously and i'm just over here like please remember this is a hobby, okay!! i'm not getting paid to do anything - not the graphics, not the words, not the time spent, and yet some people act like it's a job and i'm not here for it!! i don't do jobs that i don't get paid for!! hustle culture is capitalist propaganda and it can fuck right off!!

22. What would make you block someone?: well what doesn't? lets see i block people who soft block me (i don't want to accidentally refollow), i block people who don't tag triggers, i block people who vague blog and post call out posts; i block people who don't rp with genderbends (i don't want to accidentally follow knowing they're not into that); i block people who make me feel uncomfortable, or who don't tag smut. honestly i learned in the fandom i was in prior to coming back here that the block button is my friend, it's how you cultivate a safe dash - it's how you can preemptively protect yourself from a lot of grief!! and i’mma use it liberally if i feel like it!
