Starter for: @diademreigned

Rest now, my love It's all right

They were always aware of their limited time, yet deep inside, the Lady Exarch had longed for just a little more. She reached up, her hand clutching her chest tightly as a fit of coughing overtook her. The rain outside the tower window whispered softly, its gentle patter blending with the faint sound of her labored breaths. A spray of white blood stained the ground, mingling with the cold marble floor.

The Exarch had not yet returned from his walk, but the Lady Exarch already felt an intense fire coursing through her entire body. It was as if the light itself was slowly devouring her from within. Though she lacked enough power to become a light warden, its effects would ultimately lead to her demise. Her gaze shifted to her arms, where the crystalline scales began to radiate with a brighter blue hue. The weight of her burdens had become overwhelming in recent weeks, and now she faced the consequences. The tower could no longer sustain her, causing her body to gradually transform into crystal.

The dark is gone I am here I hold you (I hold you)

"Not yet...I need to say goodbye..." muttered the Lady Exarch, as she held her stomach and slowly made her way towards the top of the crystal tower. Very few people could go up there, preventing them from witnessing their beloved mother's demise. It was better that way. She couldn't bear to see her daughter's tears or feel like she had let them all down. She had, in a sense, at least that's what she had been telling herself for the past couple of weeks.

If I still had the blessing of the light..maybe I could save this world from fading...now I am leaving the man I love and my daughter.

Rest now, your heart

The Lady Exarch groaned in agony,as she could feel her knees weakening, threatening to give way under her weight. Her eyes widened as she looked down at her arms; the crystal scales, shimmering with an eerie glow, were slowly encroaching upon her body, inch by agonizing inch. This must be how the Exarch felt too, the way his own crystal was consuming his body. The nights he would lay awake rubbing his wrists. Closing her eyes, she felt the tears start to fall down the sides of her face. It was hard..to smile when her heart was breaking.

"Raha....Please..I don't want to leave without you here with me..."

Although you're gone I'll be here to hold you I've got you

It was all so unfair. She never wanted to leave. The thought of existing in a world without him by her side was unbearable, yet he would be the one left behind. He would have to shoulder the burdens of this world, and she knew all too well how heavy that weight could be. She had experienced the weight of carrying everyone’s wishes on her back. Slowly, her hand lifted towards the sky, as crystal shards floated off her arm.

“I love you Raha..my beautiful beloved. Maybe if I had listened, we could have stayed together for much longer.” she whispered, her legs giving in, and she settled onto the chilly marble floor. As the rest of her body slipped away, she braced herself for a fall, but a pair of arms abruptly halted her descent, wrapping around her.

Raha....

The hood slipped off as he leaped forward to catch her. With tears glistening in his eyes, she felt his hand tightly intertwine with hers. As she touched his face with her hand, a smile formed on her lips.

“There you are..you know how to keep a girl waiting.” She muttered, a flashback to the past when she said the same thing before the two had first entered the crystal tower. They had always been inextricably linked since that time, yet now he would be forced to say goodbye to her. Just like Mako was left to watch helplessly as T'sori slowly disappeared from the mortal realm. Was this genuinely their inescapable fate? To remain trapped in this perpetual cycle of experiencing love and subsequently losing one another in various ways.

𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐈 𝐑𝐔𝐍 𝐌𝐘 𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐆𝐒.

ꜱᴘᴇᴇᴅ. as of right now, my blog runs (almost) fully on a queue, which is a decision i made earlier in the semester since i want to focus more of my time on school work, practicing, graduate school applications, and taking care of my mental and physical health, which can often involve extended breaks from the rpc. with that said, i do try and queue up at least one response every time i find myself on here, which is usually a tiny bit at the middle of the day and mostly in the late afternoon and evenings (when i’m not dicking around elsewhere or watching shows). weekends and US holidays/school breaks are a different story, where i’m around more often but still trying to focus on myself.

ʀᴇᴘʟɪᴇꜱ. i tend to draft all of the thread replies that i owe and queue up at least one response for whenever i’m online and feel like completing something from my drafts, as i mentioned in the last section. i also tend to queue these responses in the order that i receive them, but it depends on how much i’m feeling a specific thread and if i’m mains with the other or not. if it’s been around a couple weeks since you replied to a thread we’re doing, please feel free to send me a gentle poke, and it would be helpful to provide a link to the thread since sometimes things tend to get lost in my drafts. i don’t use banners or any fancy graphics in my responses, just still icons.

ꜱᴛᴀʀᴛᴇʀꜱ. i don’t post a ton of these, but when i do, they’re usually inspired by songs (as per usual). not very many of them tend to get a lot of notes, sometimes none at all, so if it’s been a while where i’ve had a starter and i want to write whatever that one is about, i’ll likely just reblog it again instead of making a new one. my opens are generally always open, and any of my mutuals are always welcome to respond!! c: i use banners for starter calls.

ᴀꜱᴋꜱ. like thread responses, in-character responses to things in the inbox tend to be queued, and i also like to publish them in the order i get them, unless if it’s some prompt or starter that i’m really excited about. anon asks are currently closed at the moment due to both anxiety from a very brief harassment incident that occurred over the summer and because i get anxious about having anonymous messages, particularly with the astounding degree of hatred towards marginalized folks like trans people at the moment, of which i am. i’m also never really in the mood to see people arguing with me in my inbox about my character and my writing habits, which have happened on other blogs before. so i decided that it’s best to not have that option at all. that topic aside, if it’s been a while since you’ve sent in an ask, please feel free to give a gentle poke, and if it’s from a meme, it would be helpful to specify that as well. i use banners, dividers, and still icons in my ask posts, which i tend to just copy and paste from the ask itself into a new text post (which you all probably already know).

ᴏᴏᴄ ꜱᴛᴜꜰꜰ. sometimes i often take more time to answer ooc stuff and chat with you guys than i do for threads or asks & other in character stuff i owe you guys, because i love to talk to y’all and get to know y’all as people since i think it makes us better writing partners. i also love getting asks for ooc stuff, like from memes. for ooc posts i use banners.

ᴍᴇꜱꜱᴀɢɪɴɢ & ᴅɪꜱᴄᴏʀᴅ. mutuals are always welcome to dm me here on tumblr to ask questions. most ooc interactions i prefer to have on discord, where you can find me at dumb bitch energy#7000. i personally find the platform a lot more accessible and easier to use and has statistically been less fucky with me than tumblr messaging. for things like further plotting and discussion, i strongly prefer discord, but if you don’t have a discord, then tumblr messenger works just fine.

ʜɪ��ᴛᴜꜱ. whenever i take a hiatus, i will make both a public post and mark my blog as such in the current pinned post. the only roleplay blogs of mine that are not currently on hiatus are this one (even though i’m admittedly on a semi-hiatus here), @titxxn, & @cybermarked. speaking of this blog being on a semi-hiatus at the moment, responses are going to come a lot slower than the responses on other blogs, and my activity will be a lot spottier. when i’m on any kind of hiatus, all rules regarding sending me messages about asks and replies that i owe you are rescinded. i’ve done all i believe is necessary to notify you regarding my absence, and i expect that you respect my decision and my space and not continuously hound me.

ᴏᴛʜᴇʀ ʀᴘ ʙʟᴏɢꜱ. all of my other rp blogs can be found here.

State of the Blog [ooc]

OOC: Oh, boy. Okay, well, a goal I am setting for myself is to do these posts once a month, just to kind of keep everyone updated on what’s going on and to remind myself on what I wish to focus on. Feel free to skip, I will not be offended.

Okay, this is going to get long.

So, how am I doing? Well, I’m alive. That’s about all I can say on that right now. Right now, I’m just focusing on surviving. That may not be healthy, it may not be the answer a lot of you (or myself) want to read, but it is what it is.

For my own sake, I am doing a mini-second Halloween for myself after Thanksgiving. I’m gonna watch my favorite things on Halloween, actually try baking in my new house, etc. I am also going to try and see if anyone wants to visit me for a belated Halloween bash. If not, well, fine, I’ll do some DnD with my buddy.

Anyway, speaking of my favorite holiday... I am still bummed I didn’t really get to do any Halloween-y stuff on here. (That is no fault of anyone but me, this is not a passive-aggressive statement towards anyone.) So, I’m gonna post Halloween memes and such till November 30, 2021. If anyone wants to start anything fall-related, I’m accepting new things till then. If you want to send in memes, feel free. I will be posting a starter call for anyone who wants me to write them a starter. And graphics! I will be working on graphics this Thanksgiving break, so I hope to have all of them finished by Saturday. However, again, you can submit those requests to my mailbox till the 30th. (As a reminder, if you wish to block this stuff, my tag is “THIS IS HALLOWEEN!”)

Same with Thanksgiving, those threads, or moodboards, if anyone wants any, are due by November 30th. I’ll say...cut off is technically at 3:00 A.M. EST (U.S.) on December 01, 2021. The Thanksgiving tag will be “GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE!”

I don’t think I need a tag for just Fall general stuff, do I?

On that same note, to block all the Christmas stuff, the tag is “HAVE A HOLLY JOLLY CHRISTMAS!” (It’s one of my favorite songs)

And... NaNoWriMo... Yes, I know I will not make the word limit. I’m not even trying for that. I just got an idea after my teacher passed, and I wanted to write it. So this is just to give me a kick in the pants to start it. Who knows, maybe it’ll persuade me to work on my other WIPs.

What to focus on for the rest of this month: Writing prompts. They have been sitting both in my drafts and inbox, taking up space. Like, no joke, I have about 20 drafts in my box that is just for that. So I want to knock at least ten of them out if possible.

And to end this post on a ‘happy’ note,

HAWKEYE PREMIERES THIS WEEK!

I am VERY happy for this. But please, do not ever spoil this series for me. This is seriously my thing to inspire me to live for the rest of this year. I am blacklisting the tag “Hawkeye spoilers”. I am so excited for this series. I’m purposely waking up early tomorrow so I can watch it before work. Expect more Hawkeye content on here. Any Clint Barton/Hawkeye, Kate Bishop/Hawkeye, Lucky the Pizza Dog, Barton family, or Jeremy Renner hate will be deleted. Thank you. :)

Okay, so... I think that is it. I can’t really think of what else to put on here. If you made it this far, thank you. Everyone please keep safe, take your meds, drink some water, get some sleep, eat some food, and don’t forget to love each other.

Ciao!

about me tag game thing

i was tagged by the wonderful @nothingunrealistic! thank you very much ily <3

under read more bc i was not capable of keeping my answers brief this time around

why did you choose your url?

this...was supposed to be a short explanation but it turned into quite a tale so strap in i guess because we are going on a ride. back in 2017 i was just getting into musical theatre rp and i was still feeling too shy to really talk to anyone ooc so i would just wait for people i wanted to interact with to post starter calls so i could just do things in character with them the easy way. So i did this with my friend cam, who posted a starter for me using a lyric from If I Could Tell Her. she linked the song so i could listen to it, so i did and i went ‘wait a minute, is that Ben Platt from Pitch Perfect?? (and other things too, but i only recognized his voice at the time bc of the acappella girl movies)’ and yes it certainly was.

i had zero idea what the plot of Dear Evan Hansen was about at that point, and for some reason based off Just That One Song and the poster art of who i assumed was Some Guy in a Polo Shirt i started to think it was about some jock guy who broke his arm and had an emo/goth friend who had either died or gone missing under mysterious circumstances. also i intuited that Evan had a crush on his friend’s sister but he couldn’t tell her that directly or his emo friend would kick his ass. so i was like mostly wrong, but a little bit right.

oh and i knew jared and alana were characters from the show bc cam said that they were i think?? but i had no idea what their role was. so after listening to if i could tell her, i listened to good for you and all i really got out of that was that evan the apparently not-jock guy had done...something... that really hurt jared and alana. and at that point i finally decided to go look up a plot synopsis and i found out i was waaay off base. but honestly this is why cast recordings should include scene dialogue in the songs bc otherwise you just get soundtracks like dear evan hansen where the songs have like. zero context. we really just go from waving through a window to for forever to sincerely me without like. any reason as to what is happening huh. It’s honestly not a surprise anymore that all those people on twitter had no idea the plot isn’t about gay teenagers.

anyways. cam was writing jared and she made a post at one point about wishing somebody would write alana and i was like ‘oh i could do that!’ (after i had actually Seen a bootleg and finally knew what the whole story was, of course) so i made a multimuse rp blog featuring alana beck, nabulungi hatimbi, chloe valentine and some other characters, and cam started sharing her headcanons with me that alana is trans, jared and alana were close friends when they were little kids but they sort of drifted apart as they got older and their priorities in life changed, jared was the first person alana came out to when she realized she’s trans, etc.

one night i started talking about wanting to pick a more theatre-relevant url for my blog and trans-[character name] urls were getting pretty popular, and at least 3 of the friends i made through rp had changed theirs to coordinating trans-[character name] and i think it was cam suggested i should make mine be trans-alana so i did. eventually i realized the unhyphenated version was available so i changed it to transalana with no hyphen and i have lived here ever since. sometimes i think about changing it but i feel like transalana has become a part of My Brand and i am not so great with coming up with cool names for things.

any side blogs? if you have them, name them and why you have them

in theory, i have sideblogs... i don’t really use them, but of the ones i do have, there is:

emsbookblog - this was supposed to be where i would post excerpts of the book that i’m working on, but i think i did that maybe one time roughly 2 years ago and then promptly forgot about it/got nervous about my writing and was scared to share anything else. the rest of the stuff that is there is assorted writing tips. i don’t really know what to do with it now. i probably should post all my little thoughts about em and anita and caleb there instead of infodumping on my main from time to time, but if i do that then i have to promo a sideblog and direct people over to it which is always annoying to me when i could just do it on this blog which is much easier

dearnovelhansen - this is basically no longer used, but was a sideblog i made specifically to talk/complain about the novel adaptation of Dear Evan Hansen which was about 3 years ago?? maybe? i can’t be trusted to understand the passage of time. but to summarize: i thought it was an honor just to have the story be made more accessible since many of us couldn’t see the stage performance, but i hated a lot of the creative liberties that were taken. my main grumbles are that everyone who isn’t evan or connor is done so dirty in the novel. connor’s still kind of done dirty in the book, but not as much as like. heidi, alana, jared, and zoe are.

horseisle3 - this one was meant to be a place where i could just enthusiastically post screenshots from hi3, but instead it turned into a blog where i occasionally reblog other players’ hi3 content and bitch about how bad the game admins are bc hi3 is the tumblr famous (infamous?) homophobic horse game. the game where it was once okay to call your club store the gulag bc according to their head of hr, ‘it’s just a russian word for prison’ but you can’t say ‘im gay’ without somebody accusing you of corrupting young children who play the game. unfortunately there aren’t very many good interactive horse games out there, so this one is still about as good as it gets. it’s either that or star stable and i don’t care about star stable.

mlaenie - i’ve had this url saved for i don’t even know how long. way way way back in the day when i wanted to escape from the clutches of the onceler fandom i abandoned my first blog where i basically had an alter ego i guess?? and i decided to just be myself on the new blog. i don’t fully remember who came up with it, but one of my sister’s mutuals suggested that if you scrambled the letters in your name you could come up with aesthetic-looking urls. so lauren’s url became lrauen, and to match with her mine became mlaenie, which i abandoned on tumblr after about a year or so? but have continued to use as my main username on twitter, reddit, youtube, xbox, steam, and discord. i barely ever use any of these accounts aside from twitter, steam, and xbox, but yeah. so i’ve decided to try and turn this empty sideblog into a place for video game thoughts maybe. we’ll see how long it lasts this time around.

how long have you been on tumblr?

i made my first tumblr account in december of 2010, but i didn’t understand how to use it at all or how to customize my theme to look cool and unique so i quickly abandoned it. i made a new account in september of 2011 after some kids at school and my sister told me i should and i have been trapped here with varying degrees of activity/inactivity ever since. i have witnessed the rise and fall of the lorax/onceler fandom, hyperfocused on lord of the rings, star wars and back to the future all at the same time, and for the past 4 years i’ve mostly been a musical theatre blog with assorted other fandom stuff mixed in. i feel i have seen everything and nothing, but mostly i’m just tired and bored.

do you have a queue tag?

no bc i don’t use a queue. i’ve tried using it in the past but i irrationally feel pressured to sustain a coherent theme to queued posts and my brain simply does not vibe with that so i just don’t use it at all anymore. Instead i instantly reblog or post several unrelated thoughts in succession and then don’t post again at all for 3 days. the way god intended

why did you start your blog in the first place?

my very first blog was intended to be a place for me to post all of my petz 5 animals’ profile info, but i didn’t have any understanding of how coding worked at all and i don’t think i really wanted to learn, either. so it just sat there, unused. my second attempt at blogging was as a classic rock fandom person, so as you can probably imagine i was pretty pretentious about ‘modern pop’ vs the beatles, the rolling stones, the who, the monkees, and so on. and then i slowly devolved into a lorax fandom blog and everything went to shit so i made a new blog for lord of the rings/the hobbit which later evolved to include star wars and back to the future blogging. and then for the past 4 years i’ve been mainly a musical theatre blog with other random stuff i like thrown haphazardly into the pot. wonderful.

why did you choose your icon/pfp?

because my url is transalana and two of my most prominent lgbt headcanons are that alana beck is trans and a lesbian. i gotta be shouting out @kinqmike though bc she’s the one i adopted the trans alana beck headcanon from in the first place!

why did you choose your header?

in 2017 i was hyperfixating on Dear Evan Hansen (and Be More Chill, but there weren’t many gif-able videos then considering it ran for a month in New Jersey in 2015 and there was only one yet-to-resurface 35 minute bootleg) so i just grabbed a random gif off of google. i really should get to replacing it with a new header of my own though. i just don’t know what i should do for it.

what’s your post with the most notes?

i have lost track of how many notes it has (i think it’s somewhere around 200 now?) but when Will Roland and George Salazar performed Two Player Game on Good Morning America, i posted a screencap of their Jeremy and Michael along with that one quiz answer meme that says stuff like ‘i want to see it grow up healthy’. i didn’t tag it with any ship names or anything because i was anxious about having it show up in the tags, but somebody who reblogged it from me did tag it as boyf riends and i firmly believe it took off because of that. i don’t think i make posts that are relevant enough to amass thousands of notes, even by accident. which is probably a good thing bc if i did i would have to block so many of them.

how many followers do you have?

on this blog? 175 according to the counter. how many of those are still real people and how many are bots and abandoned accounts? i have no idea.

how many people do you follow?

i try to keep it somewhere around 200. i think i’m sitting at 180 right now but i kind of need to go through and clear out the really inactive blogs.

have you made a shitpost?

let’s think about this for a second. i’ve been on tumblr for nearly 10 years. you might even be able to say i’ve made more than one. they’re just not what you would call...popular shitposts.

how do you feel about ‘you need to reblog this’ post?

that stuff makes me so incredibly anxious that i have to fight the urge to want to yeet my laptop or mobile device through the closest window whenever i read it, so i try very hard to avoid any sort of ‘if you don’t reblog this, i’m judging you’ posts. i find them very manipulative and not particularly helpful

do you like tag games?

yeah babey!! i just frequently forget to do them, but please know that if you have ever tagged me in a tag game i felt incredibly touched by the gesture and the @mention even if i completely forgot to do the thing afterward

do you like ask games?

i do! but also rip to literally anyone who has ever sent me an ask meme bc it takes me so long to answer them. i’m still working on a micro fic prompt from a few weeks ago. also, horrified to realized that it has in fact been a few weeks and not 3 days anymore.

which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

i don’t know that any are tumblr famous as a whole. but probably @neverheardnothing

do you have a crush on a mutual?

in any sort of romantic connotation? no. not that i’m aware of. there are mutuals that i have friend crushes on where i want to be friends with them but i get so anxious when it comes to meeting new people that usually nothing ever comes of it. i’m really not good at small talk or other casual conversation either which, as you may or may not be able to imagine, sucks. i just wanna skip over all of the awkward introductions and ‘hey how are you, how is life, what are you doing with yourself?’ stuff. not because i don’t care about it. i do, but i think most of my friends/the people i want to be my friends are also depressed and anxious so asking these basic questions about life tends to uh. make us all nervous. and i don’t do much with my life so i always have the most boring answers anyways.

i’m not tagging anyone officially bc the @ thing has just completely given up on me at this point, but if you want to do it, go for it. and then say i tagged you so i can read it c:

Frozen 2: first impressions

Hello friends! As you know, Frozen was a HUGE part of my fandom life ~back in the day.~ So of course I saw the sequel opening night and of course I have thoughts after ruminating on it for 24 hours. I’m sure there will be many things I forget or don’t cover--after all, I’ve only seen it the once. And I make no guarantees that my thoughts are coherent or consistent. (If I contradict myself, I contradict myself-- I am large, I contain multitudes.) I’m also sure my opinions will evolve upon rewatch. Lord knows they did last time.

Is that enough disclaimer yet? OKAY. Some of my thoughts are negative! Some are positive! It’s a grab bag! Here we go!

Spoilers under the cut, pals.

IN SHORT: As an expansion on the world and the characters I adore, I pretty much loved it! As an extension of uh Big Capitalism and what it means in terms of real world ramifications... I have questions/comments/concerns!

IN LONG: I think I’ll start with what didn’t work for me and work my way around to fangirling at the end.

the meh

I feel like... part of it is that Disney has just gotten worse and power-grabbier in way more blatant ways in the last few years, and part of it is that I’m ever-more cognizant of these things. And the fine line they want to walk of “We can tell stories about progressive concepts! Princesses are woke now, actually!” without taking a single financial risk when it comes to alienating foreign markets, homophobes abroad or Nazis domestically is just a fundamentally untenable position to be in. You don’t get to retcon Elsa and Anna as being somehow less white than they clearly are and then try to tell a story about reparations in which no one actually gets reparations. You don’t get to get points for that. It’s in some ways admirable to want to try, but all you do when you’re coming at it from the position of being Disney when you tell this story is show the cracks in it.

I can see how, on a purely storytelling level, having Papa King Arendelle Agnarr be of Arendelle and Iduna be of the Northuldra and having their daughters be the bridge between the two communities is a really tempting, tidy, tie-a-bow-on-it narrative. And I also see how creating the backstory of the war and the mist neatly explains the absence of indigenous faces in the first film. But like... come on. Introducing an indigenous group like the Northuldra and then declaring that Elsa and Anna are a part of it is insulting. There’s no other way to say it. It just feels gross. I’m glad that Disney consulted with the Sámi on the movie, and I acknowledge that both real-life Sámi folks and the onscreen Northuldra come in a broad variety of skin tones and phenotypes. But even with the most generous possible reading of the choice-- that it’s well-intentioned, albeit misguided-- falls flat for me. It feels like Disney trying to have their cake and eat it too. And I don’t really see any way around that. It just... gives me tremendous pause, and it’s so core to so many of the things the movie chooses to be that it’s really disquieting and disappointing.

But then again, Disney being racist isn’t exactly news, and there’s still plenty of flaws to tackle even when we put this (massive) issue aside.

This movie is... weirdly allergic to stakes? It’s not like I wanted Elsa to stay dead, or that I expected Olaf to (more on that in a minute). But Anna’s decision to go full Thor Ragnarok and, as @theseerasures jokingly put it to me last night, “throw the first brick at Stonewall” and destroy Arendelle felt right. It felt appropriate to the story they were telling, and it would have had the film put its money where its mouth is re: how atoning for the sins of our forebears requires massive systemic change. So having Elsa charge to the rescue on her water-type Rapidash extremely queer steed daemon Gay Horse and save the city felt cheap. (Also, side note: is Arendelle really just... that one seaside port town and nothing else? Are there only like fifty people in Arendelle?) The citizens had already been taken to safety. The society would live on; they’d all get to rebuild. What was the point of saving the castle, just for saving the castle’s sake? To what end? I don’t see how that’s more inspiring or reassuring or worth it than watching the sisters lead their people from the ground up and starting anew. I don’t understand what they thought was worth protecting, when, again, all of the people were safe. Stories need stakes in order to have meaning! HTTYD has impact because Hiccup loses his leg in his attempt to save his dragon and his people. You know? You don’t get to just... keep everything the way it is and call that restorative justice, and the film clearly wants us to. And I don’t understand why. The only reason that makes any sense at all to me is that they thought it would scare little kids, but like. THIS COMPANY HAS PORTRAYED WAY MORE TRAUMATIZING THINGS THAN THAT. MANY TIMES.

Point in fact: Olaf’s death! Genuinely disturbing! Sad! For the most part I really liked the way it was handled, but it also felt very. Y’know. “Mister Stark, I don’t feel so good.” This is perhaps my most uncharitable nitpick, so I’ll keep it brief, but having Olaf drift away Snap-style just felt like an extremely synergistic, Disney+ nod at Infinity War instead of an organic decision. Which maybe isn’t fair, because it makes more sense for Olaf to become a flurry than for the Snap to make people dust! But nevertheless, the weird wink-and-a-nudge feeling of it totally pulled me out of what should have been an extremely poignant moment. Elsa’s revelation during “Show Yourself” felt similar--like. Not to take away from your moment, Elsa, but the call isn’t out there at all, it’s inside me was already covered by this larger canon, and in a more elegant and eloquent manner.

Which--tbh, the music overall was a bit of a letdown (though “Into the Unknown” slaps and a boyband of five joshes “Lost in the Woods” was perhaps the best sequence in the whole movie). I respect that they clearly wanted to give everyone a solo this time around in a deliberate way, but the songs felt perfunctory for the most part--describing moments instead of advancing them. This film was such a departure from how Disney normally makes sequels (mostly in a good way, actually) and I couldn’t help but wonder what it would have looked like to make a version of this movie where no one sang at all. It didn’t feel cohesive.

And, though it would kill me to get rid of “Lost in the Woods” because it’s perfect... I kinda wish Anna and Kristoff had gotten engaged at the end of act 1, as I think they pretty clearly did in the first draft of this script. Their relationship drama felt like a hat on top of a hat, and they could still have addressed their codependency/insecurities while being engaged. Leaving the proposal for the end just made it an anticlimax after everyone’s been brought back from the literal dead. And it maybe would have left them with more options than having Kristoff just vanish from the narrative for the entire back half of the second act.

Also Honeymaren should have had at least two more scenes. I can’t justify this on a narrative level; the movie didn’t actually need more of her. But like. If you’re going to go out of your way to keep Elsa carefully single, and even give KRISTOFF a new boyfriend, I feel like the least you can do is let us get to know the obvious throw-us-a-bone offering a little bit better. Like. Literally. the actual least you can do.

anyway. all of that said.

the yay!

I can’t tell you how gratifying it was to me, personally to open with a flashback of the girls that demonstrates as clear as day that Elsa is an ace lesbian and Anna is bi and polyamorous. Thank you, snow action figures.

And like. Overall the way the movie tackled the sisters and their relationship was pure *chef’s kiss.* (And I think for me, the strength in this particular bullet point probably outweighs all of my complaints and concerns from above, in the end. At least from an “I still derive enjoyment from this flawed thing” standpoint, though perhaps not from an “I’d recommend this to anyone without caveats” standpoint.) THEY LOVE EACH OTHER SO MUCH. THEY WERE SO THEMSELVES. I do think part of the fear of any sequel where there’s been a significant amount of time since the last one and you were so emotionally invested in it the first go-around is like... what if everyone feels OOC? What if what I saw wasn’t what was really in them after all? What if they feel like strangers? What if they let me down? And there was none of that, even for a second, with this movie. Their parallel journeys were character-appropriate and impactful. Elsa finally gets the freedom she’s always been looking for. Anna finally gets the responsibility she’s always been ready for. Anna, the caretaker, is positioned to take care of everyone. Elsa, the lesbian, runs away to the forest to hang out with beautiful powerful women. Elsa, the force of nature, is finally allowed to commune with it. The scene at their parents’ ship truly anchors the whole movie in the best possible way. And also, like... this movie showed how fucking weird Elsa is, and I feel so vindicated. SHE’S SUCH A DORK. I can’t believe I never realized that Elsa would totally choose Charmander as her starter, and the way she talked to the fire salamander was literally the most charming thing I have ever seen. “They’re staring at us, aren’t they?” GOSH. [IMDb says the salamander’s name is Bruni, and I’m very sad they never spoke it aloud.] [Someone do a rotoscope of the Tangled short where Pascal and Max almost ruin Rapunzel and Eugene’s wedding by losing the rings but it’s Bruni and Sven at Kristoff and Anna’s wedding, thank]

Anyway. All of that goes double for Olaf, because I really wasn’t sure they could pull off the miracle of him not being annoying twice. And they did! Olaf’s grappling with his burgeoning maturity was adorable and profound in equal measure, and his plot reenactments were sublime. And when he realized to Anna for the first time that he was feeling angry, that he was capable of feeling angry... what a tremendous moment. (Actually, I’ll extend what I said about the boat scene to include the Earth Giants river sequence in total, because. Again. Wow.)

And I have to say... as much as I am given real pause by their execution of the concept, “you just do the next right thing” is such beautiful (*cough* Jewish *cough*) praxis. I love that. In the broader Disney Revival canon of Tiana’s work ethic and Rapunzel’s abuse narrative and how Wreck-It Ralph talked about PTSD and all of the myriad things the first Frozen did, I might love “the next right thing” most of all. What a simple, powerful, evocative message. It’s so lovely. A perfect gem.

Also worth acknowledging that the animation was straight-up stunning. Which I expected, generally, but the water droplets in the ship? The way Elsa just loses it sobbing when she sees her mother’s face in the ice? The tender, shattered way Anna pulls Olaf in closer to her as he fades? W.O.W. And, y’know, while I stand by what I said above about stakes, I will say that the moment we first see that Elsa is experiencing cold, that Elsa is freezing? Genuinely--and please forgive the pun--genuinely chilling.

I love Gail the Gale. I love Mattias and Yelana and Ryder and Honeymaren. But mostly I just... loved the dialogue and these characters and that I got to spend a little more time with them. And I’m sure I’ll do so at least two more times before it leaves theaters.

... apparently this is over 2k words now so that seems as good a place to leave it as any. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

how I run my blog

Tagged by: as usual I’ve stolen it from @mynameisanakin Tagging: no one, i am too lazy and i follow like 14 people so. just do it if you want to.

SPEED: is not my forte. I try my best, but there are several factors that work against me in this aspect: 1) I’m a chronic procrastinator 2) I’m scatterbrained 3) I have more than one blog 4) I almost never write replies that are less than two paragraphs and I want it to make sense and be good and be enjoyable for my partner, so it takes time. I almost never reply the same day (MAYBE on discord, because there my replies are way shorter and it’s mostly to my best friend), and you’re lucky if I reply within a week. I really try to be faster on this blog because I made a promise to myself (and I was doing okay until the whole virus thing happened and I ran into a bunch of personal problems) AND I am keeping a low profile on this blog so it doesn’t get overwhelming. Long story short, if you are looking for a super active daily replies partner, I am not it for you. If you’re okay with waiting for a while but getting more developed stories and longer replies in turn, then we should talk :)

REPLIES: Are on the longer side on this blog. I don’t really have the patience for one liners because they tend to go nowhere and then feel like bread crumbs of randomness all over my blog. They’re okay sometimes, but more often than not they feel like crack. Writing replies is really exhausting for me sometimes, but I try to force myself because I WANT to do it, I’m just having issues concentrating on one thing at a time so it takes me forever.

STARTERS: I don’t write welcoming starters because 8 out of 10 times they get ignored or are so random that they lead nowhere. If someone writes me a welcoming starter, it depends on the content but usually I’ll try to make it work for me and reply. I don’t often like starter calls because most people write absolutely pointless starters. For example they’ll write a paragraph of explaining what their muse did all day (unrelated to my muse), then walk into some random place they’ve never been to (e.g. a shady bar) and suddenly get surprised by my muse being there, and/or, my personal favorite, say something like “what the hell do you want from me”? Which I struggle with for several reasons. One, if you create a setting but don’t bother explaining why we’re there, you put the entire weight of explaining that (aka creating the actual setting) on ME, but you add an additional complication by making it something that I didn’t come up with, so now I have to introduce a world YOU invented with 0 idea of why you chose that particular location in the first place. Second, you put my muse in a situation that makes no sense for them and again force me to explain that, without even giving me a good reason to. And third, I play very different muses, but most of them are going to lose interest in the conversation immediately if the first thing you say to them is rude af. So, yeah, I actually really struggle with most random starters. Please just plot with me and then I will love you forever for writing me a plotted starter that I know will not create 400 questions in my head that I then have to bother you with, which makes me feel like a nuisance. (Or at least keep the setting neutral? Or try to come up with something that seems reasonable for my muse? I always try to do that and when I am unsure, I message the person who liked my starter calls.) Speaking of which, I rarely post starter calls, because.. well, like I just kind of explained, it’s comes with responsibility and work. And I’m lazy.

INBOX: is open for memes at all times, and questions of any kind. I often don’t get notified, so I sometimes see certain messages months later - when that happens, I usually don’t reply anymore if they’re anon because I’ll assume that person forgot or isn’t even around anymore. Sorry about that! It’s an issue I’ve had on several blogs and I don’t know how to fix it. Anon hate is deleted without comment, unless I feel there’s a point in replying to it publicly, or if it’s entertaining. I don’t roleplay via inbox and therefore any “ic” questions or interactions posted in there will be treated as a one-time meme, if I can reply to them at all. Asks of sexual nature from complete strangers will usually be ignored because Obi-Wan isn’t the muse for that at all. As I’ve stated in my rules I only roleplay with mutuals and therefore won’t roleplay with someone I don’t follow, even if they ignore that rule and start rping with me via inbox. I don’t mean to be dismissive, but I have these rules for a reason and I ask that people read and respect them.

SELECTIVITY: I am selective with whom I follow because I have limited time and energy for this blog (and all my blogs) and therefore find it irresponsible and pointless to accept 600 followers and threads when I know I can’t possibly reply to even 10% of them. Before I follow someone (back) I look at their blogs; in particular at their writing (to see if I like their style and their portrayal), their rules (to see what they like/dislike and if our general understanding of the RPC, roleplay, and in a way social interactions in general go well together), and sometimes their OOC posts to get a feeling of how the other person is. (Obviously I also sometimes don’t follow back when I don’t know the muse or fandom at all.) Blog rules and ooc posts can say A LOT about a person, and there are plenty of people in the RPC (in any fandom) that quickly rose to tumblr fame with shiny graphics and fancy formatting and dozens of well-developed verses and headcanons, but they straight up suck as people outside of writing. My rules state very clearly that I discourage hateful comments, mob mentality and callout culture, and unfortunately many “popular” blogs use exactly these tools to execute their power (which comes from being admired for all the wrong reasons). So, I know many people think being selective means you only pick partners with fancy graphics and poetic writing, but for me it actually means I want decent human beings as partners. I don’t give a shit if you format your posts (as long as you cut them) or if you have a blog with a fancy theme, or just a rules google doc, or if you use icons or not. If I like your writing and you seem like a nice and reasonable person, I’m good to go. If you talk to me about dogs I’m even better to go.

WISHLIST: I always try to have one because I find it very helpful when looking for plot ideas with new partners. I will look at yours if you like a plotting call or something too, but I know not everyone has a wishlist~

HONEST NOTE: I’m not a teenager anymore and I’ve been rping for over 14 years. I work with lots of strangers, I study for a job with lots of strangers. I think about philosophical concepts a lot, about morality and human behavior and I’ve come to the conclusion that kindness, empathy and compassion are some of the core values every single person should focus on to make the world a better place. I have no patience and no interest in engaging in the absolute toxic and harmful hate movement that’s taken over this website (and other social media platforms) in whatsoever way. Occasionally I’ll make a salty comment about it, but only because I’ve had it up to here. I am here to enjoy fandom the way I used to, and the way it used to be meant to be enjoyed - not to completely ignore real issues like world politics, economical and environmental crises, in order to entertain witch hunts on people who happen to enjoy a fictional ship that isn’t 300% approved by puritan statutes of the 1600s. I am responsible for the content I seek out online, and so are you. Does it suck when I see something I dislike? Sure. Is it the fault of the person who posted it? No. Especially not when I read their rules first, like I’m supposed to, and they clearly state that the thing I dislike will appear on their blog. And even if they didn’t, it was my choice to go on their blog and look at their content. If you can’t handle taking responsibility for the content you seek out online, then you are probably not old enough to use the internet unsupervised. I am free to write, read, and post on my personal blog whatever I want, as long as I am not breaking the law. Liking a fictional ship that involves an age gap? Not illegal. Liking a fictional ship that involves siblings? Not illegal. Liking a fictional ship in which one party was abusive to the other at some point? Not illegal. Liking a fictional character who killed your fave? Not illegal. It’s fictional. Get over it. And if you really think that seeing fictional characters or ships online that YOU consider “problematic” is hurting people in real life, then you should join those politicians who burn books that are “corrupting the people’s morals and minds”, who ban video games because they “make gamers violent”, and censor songs from the radio because they “present biased views on people of public importance”. Please reflect on your behavior. Destroying someone’s life because they liked something you don’t, telling them to commit suic/ide, ruining their chance of making friends who maybe share their love for a ship or character.. that’s bullying. Some of the cases I’ve seen on here were so severe, they qualify as serious cyberbullying and should be reported to the police. I don’t give a fuck if you hate Rey/lo or Damon Salva/tore, or the Joker. You don’t go and send someone messages telling them to kill themselves because they RP it. Because that is the real crime. And finally, if you feel the need to “educate” someone you consider “problematic” for whatever reason and you actually approach them - make sure you’re actually there to educate and discuss, not to throw an opinion at them and get aggressive when they don’t immediately magically agree. Because chances are they won’t. If you choose to open a dialogue, make sure it IS a fucking dialogue and not a condescending monologue. Learn how to shape an argument, find evidence to back up your claims - because not only will you become better at talking to people in any kind of situation, you’ll also maybe realize that your opinion wasn’t as well-founded as you thought.

RP Hooks ––– –

Dock Hand / Sailor: Jasper has crewed, and sailed on many ships throughout his life. He was raised on one from the age of eight, to fifteen, and has been smitten with the sea ever since. When he returned to Stormwind, he decided to live ‘honestly’ and work at the dock. As such, he’s met plenty of people, captains, workers, sailors, everyone. He’s approachable, and knowledgeable, if you can pin him down for a smoke.

Petty Thief / Fence for the Uncrowned- A life on the streets leads one to have questionable skills. Jasper was a small, and unassuming child, and become skilled in pick pocketing when the market was busy. This lead to lock picking, which turned into cat burgling, and then a few nights in the Stockades, which then lead to more connections. Jasper keeps his shady business under wraps, and plays the innocent dumb dock worker well, however those within shady circles would know he’s a reliable fence who will get rid of hot goods for the right price. He’s one of the official fences for the Uncrowned, but keeps that even more under wraps than his petty thievery.

General Mischief Maker - Jasper is no stranger to all the local pubs, bars, watering holes, ect. He’s usually at the bar getting drunk, and even more likely to either enter, or start a fight. Full of unresolved trauma that fuels a temper, Jasper can be quite the evening entertainment at the local pub if one were to push him just right. Though not officially a part of the Brawlers Guild, Jasper will make an appearance every now and then for their bare knuckle nights - just to see if he still has it.

OOC ––– –

While I do have a version of Jasper in-game, Tumblr and Discord RP are more reliable for me currently. I’m always open to new plots and contacts, whether it’s long-term story arcs or a simple one-off interaction, so feel free to shoot me a message if you’d like to set something up! I’m happy to throw a starter out, or vice versa. :D

𝐏𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐬 & 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬.

This page will be updated as regularly as I can. If you're interested in taking any of the plots or sentence starters for your muse, shoot me an OOC DM and we can discuss the details. If you don't see anything you're interested in, but would still like to thread, we can brainstorm some ideas in the DMs.

Plots

Plum (0/1), F/M - “Even the sweetest plum has only got so long.” It was a collapsing relationship yet you were both heavy with denial to ever admit it. Both of you did everything to preserve the love that you once had, but as a result, you kept hurting each other. In the end, both individuals came to a mutual agreement after weeks of fighting and crying that you should part ways. Several years later, you reunite. Have things changed since then?

What A Heavenly Way To Die (0/1), F/M - “Because forever is in your eyes, but forever ain’t half the time I wanna spend with you.” Childhood friends. Both muses lived in London and grew up together. Fast forward several years, you’ve both outgrown a lot of things, relationships and dating apps, beliefs, fashion trends…but not each other. You both still keep in touch with each other despite the years apart, and meeting each other again feels comfortable and easy.

Dance To This (0/1), F/M - “Under the kitchen lights, you still look like dynamite.” You met each other after getting stuck at the subway station late at night. Something went wrong and the trains have halted operations. Although home wasn’t far, the concept of walking back after a long day did not seem like a grand idea. Unfortunately for the two of you, it started to rain too and every other taxi was unavailable due to the disruptions. You sought shelter in a nearby bar, and somehow got a conversation going about your failed attempt to get home. You laugh, and have a good time, drink to the point of feeling woozy, and perhaps the two of you should have been a little more responsible with your alcohol but, alas. At one point, you both ditch the bar and head out for home despite the rain. You complain how it’s cold, and for some reason one of you is chasing the other one down the road, shrieking; telling each other to ‘slow down’, and your clothes are all wet but you’ve never felt so liberated until that night.

Christmas Tree (0/1), F/M - “Your light’s the only thing that keeps the cold out.” You’re a Creative, and you’ve been visiting the cafe for a while now, and Carter has taken an interest in you. You sit at a table contemplative, sometimes seemingly busy with your brows tense in concentration as you work away. Carter finds a muse in you and the pieces you’ve made. One afternoon, you visit the cafe and order your usual, but this time there’s an additional item on your table which you don’t recall ordering.

Lo and behold, it’s the dessert Carter has whipped up after being inspired by you.

White Day Loneliness (0/1), M - You’re disgusted by the influx of couples in the cafe, but it doesn’t stop you from queuing up to try and scam Carter into giving you some free muffins on white day.

Sentence Starters

“Hard cash is a girl’s best friend.”

“This looks kind of weird.”

“It’s called a safety pin for a reason.”

“To the night you’ll never remember!”

“Fuck the sandwich guy!”

“Sorry, I don’t do drugs.”

“Can you sing that song for me again?”

“Promise me you won’t start any fights.” / “Fine…I will finish them though.”

“Can I lick the spoon after?”

“The art of not being an idiot is extremely challenging for me.”

“What’s the word for that infestation of tiny creatures over there?” / “Those are children. That’s a school.”

“You never had that shine in your eyes when you were with me.”

“Why do you always think you have to do everything on your own?”

“Well hello sleeping beauty, you fell asleep on me.”

“Shall I snap my own neck now or later?”

“Wear what you want, I can fight.”

My Sabriel Headcanon

“Gabriel, you have to dig yourself out of this hole. Look, I know you think it’s safer inside. No more torture, no more pain, no more … expectations. I’ve been there. You’re nothing like your family. You sure as hell weren’t like your dad. Me either. And just like you, I got out. Or I thought I got out. But then … then my family needed me. And this is my life. No matter how many times I try to fight it. This is what I was put here to do. This is where I make the world a better place. And sure, yeah, hookers and Monte Carlo sounds great. But your family needs you. Jack, your nephew, needs you. The world needs you. We need you. Gabriel, I need you. So please, help us.”

This dialogue was clunky as hell. The Winchesters sad theme song in the background kinda made me laugh with how hard it was trying to make it sound earnest. I know a lot of people find this OOC and weird, but I’m seeing something here. Feel free to disagree, of course. (I didn’t include this in my initial review because I came into the episode rooting for Sabriel and this is probably all kinds of biased)

For starters, Sam was about to give up and leave the room before pausing with one hand already on the door, then turning around and giving one last shot. I’m assuming that he’s tried reasoning with Gabriel previously, telling him about the situation and how he can help. I’m probably giving Bucklemming too much credit, but I find that this assumption makes the speech a lot more digestible. So the speech is a sort of desperate, pulling out all the stops kind of thing, hence why it seems a little too earnest.

Sam begins by asserting that he knows what Gabriel feels, he’s gone through the same things, he understands what it’s like. He’s putting himself in Gabriel’s shoes and positioning himself on the same level/situation as him. Then he tells the story of how he pulled through. Personally, I feel like Sam is embellishing things a bit on this part. I still feel like he’s not totally over his past trauma with Lucifer and he still feels a little helpless about the situation. But he needs Gabriel to pull through and help them so maybe he exaggerated a bit.

Same with trying to appeal about Gabriel’s family (I’m assuming Cas and the other angels) and Jack “needing” him. It does sound a bit weird to try and use that to a dude who walked out on his family milennia ago. But again, I feel like this is a last-ditch attempt by Sam to try and persuade Gabriel. Sam is claiming that being there for his family aided in his recovery so he’s suggesting that maybe Gabriel would feel better if he helped his. Is that the correct way to approach this? I dunno, you decide. But I feel like maybe that’s Sam’s thought process.

Then the teary-eyed “We need you, I need you”. I really don’t feel like they “stole” a line that “belongs” to Destiel. Sam is a creature of empathy. He’s trying to appeal to that, like ‘hey, man, I need you to get better. Do this, please? For me, the guy who’s been helping you this whole time.” Manipulating is probably too strong a word. But its something along the lines of that. Like, Sam is trying to humanize himself to persuade Gabriel to return.

And hey, it worked so …

*naomi pokes her head in after disappearing for the 600th time* bonjour

family things where the reason i was so m.i.a. this past week. but i’m here now and i’m going to follow and unfollow people. update some things (like points, plots and tag lists) and head into ims. the good things. sorry i keep disappearing, it’s a weird time. i hope you all are doing good though. people who i have not talked to yet, i’m sorry i still haven’t introduced myself to you all. i’ll gradually work on this. people who i plotted with before, you know i’m gradually trying to get back to that too. i’m very out of the loop with everything.

though! working on some things. writing, photoshop, things, yeah.

but that aside i kinda wanted to take the space of this ooc post to elaborate on the headcanon i wrote yesterday? because? wow. uh. what the hell was that. i wont talk about the topics of the story itself so dont worry if they are triggering to you, i wont be mentioning anything in here.

i just. i started writing the headcanon because my inspiration for anything else was nil. i had things done for my starter (things that had to go out before it for the starter to make sense) and i was preparing to write but nothing came out. and i saw the days ticking by then so i thought “a headcanon will give me something to put out as i dont want to loose jerome but also don’t want to go on hiatus again”. i thought it’ll be like 1000 words and just explain seulgi and chanyeol a bit but it turned into that. i kinda got sucked into it. like, very badly. i wrote it in two days and two nights with little sleep and a lot of tears and it fucked me up but not in a bad way persay (not in a good way either but). after my hiatus i’ve been all kinds of weird with jerome? i haven’t known how to put him out there and advertise him as a cool dude to new and old people in here and i blame my mood for that? because when i was all meme kid 2000 it was easier to thrust him into people’s dm’s, but then after the hiatus i’ve been so goddamned serious about everything that even the funny posts i try to make dont make it to the blog because i think about them too much? (honestly. i have a backlog of memes guys.). then i write that, start writing that with the beginning and end in mind and it’s so goddamned dark but it gets my emotions out and makes me feel more intrigued to flesh out jerome. it relieves me a bit.

because the thing about jerome is that family is one of the most important things for him. and exploring chanyeol, who had everything jerome had wanted when he grew up (to be raised by a mother who looked like him and loved him), made me find jerome again. it’s the comparing of lives that do it, how two brothers that came from the same prompt live such different lives because of the polarizing answers their mothers gave to one of the hardest question in life. but then again they have so much the same; the drinking, the faces, the laughs, the ridicule, and so much more. they’re more like twins than they are brothers, just years apart and not quite the same.

(there is a reason why *if you read the story* i pinned their situations against each other often, give the perspective of jerome’s life whilst giving context to chanyeols)

and i dont know if jerome will ever know about chanyeol, meet seulgi, find a connection with his mother, feel a bond with his sibling (who’s connection form is almost done, i’m hoping for a sister) or find the bad of himself in his father but it’s the start of exploring this part of jerome’s life, his bloodlines, that get me so much more into jerome’s story. because it is such an important piece in his life.

and look, you might think “but thats marie!” if you look over his blog or read his bio (please dont. its ugly.), that she’s the most influential thing in jerome’s character as she’s the one who basically created “yuddy”. and yeah, she’s important. he still gets anxious when she teeters with the information only they know and still gets furious when he sees her face. but it’s family that starts it all.

he wouldn’t be as searching for warmth if it wasn’t for the fact that he views himself to be abandoned when just a baby, which his mother did with all the heart break in her heart. he wouldn’t be as proving and intense if it wasn’t for the fact that he feels like he has just one moment to cement himself in someone’s memory as something to desire (whether its about music, lust, love, etc.). he wouldn’t be as afraid of loosing important people in his life if he hadn’t lost the most important one of all.

also, he wouldn’t be as natural with the flirting and the charming smirks if it wasn’t for the fact that his father had that natural allure to him, too. had that bad treatment, too. had that booming confidence, too. and had that selfishness, too. (i villainize chanwook a lot. but he was just a guy who didn’t like commitments, he wants the fun and nothing else. hmm doesn’t that sound familiar.)

yuddy was a reaction to marie, but made possible because of chanwook. hey, thats pretty deep.

anyway, what also was interesting with exploring chanyeol was the fact that jerome’s biggest wish was to be able to look at someone and recognize himself in it. with his adoption family he obviously couldnt do that. and to add another layer in his hometown there were no korean faces, no ethnicity he could belong to. (i dont know how it is in legit laval and martigné-sur-mayenne as i am just a dumb kid who only has the internet to find things out BUT as i live in a western european town *obliviously naomi you’re dutch* thats pretty big and those towns arents the biggest i can use my own experiences and grab the data/information i can find on the internet to create young!jerome’s school and daily life environment.) but he could live with that if he just had a mother or/and a father he could look up to and see himself. there have been days where he’s been bullied for the shape of his eyes or the colour of his skin, there have been days where he’s been fetishized for them too, and if he was allowed to look up at his mother he could see the same pairs of eyes stare back at him. and if he’d look at his father he’d see the same coloured skin. he’d feel more at ease. but he sees blonde hair and peachy skin instead, sees hazel eyes and different noses. add a DEEPER layer and he can’t seem to find where he gets his ugly wide laugh from, or his aggression when provoked. the gentle touch to the things he loves. the intensity of passion. the greed of selfishness. he doesn’t know where the traits come from, who gives him those traits, or if they are purely his own. and he truly wished he did.

and with that as he stands on stage now he is unaware that he makes two women cry every night. blissfully unaware that he has two mothers look at him and see the man that left them but see their missed sons too. he knows nothing of that, and so he knows nothing of the impact he’s making with simply existing. (boram looking at jerome is still very ambiguous in my mind though as her kid can appear in roleplay but seulgi’s view is pretty cemented)

okay shit this kind of turned into some weird exploration of jerome? i started writing this like 6 hours ago what the hell. i’m so slow. maybe this is helping me too with making that re-introduction thing i still have to make. great. well what you can take from this is that jerome has a definite baseline when it comes to his personality and i explored that in chanyeols story where he was the one who got it yet felt undeserving of it?

it’s affection. his baseline is affection. his baseline is warmth. for him as a person, a real person, his person. and not for anything else. and it’s nice to look at the people that gave that to him, the people that didn’t and the reasons behind it.

his biological mother couldn’t give it to him because she gave him away before she could. (the only exception being the first moment in the hospital room 26 years ago.)

his biological father couldn’t give it to him seeing as he didn’t even care to know him.

his adoptive parents couldn’t give it to him as they only saw him as a prop next to jade vases and ricepaper fans.

his first love marie couldn’t give it to him even when he thought she could, but then in time he realized she never loved him for him. realized she never loved him at all.

his grandfather has given it to him, as he sang with him to old tunes and learned him how to cook. his grandmother did too before she fell away.

frederic and halit gave it to him, freddy when he cemented himself as his first closest friend and halit when he pulled him along and shared his family with him. they both gave him a home, and they both gave him the concept of best friends.

julien too gifts it to him now, as he has poked through the shields that is yuddy and has never stopped grasping at the heart that is jerome.

its interesting. it’s all interesting and i’m kind of content that i threw this headcanon out there? or wrote it. (even if not many people will probably read it because of the content matter or because its dumb long or other reasons) because its really a start for me to explore jerome other sides more, the other important things. with the marie story half way finished and her changing in severity in his life, it’ll be interesting to further explore the facet that hurt jerome the most. bloodlines.

ok i got to stop because literally no one is having time for my wall of mess i mean wall of text and its getting way too late/early whilst i wanted to reply to some dms so im just going to grab my phone and start typing there. until i fall asleep. which honestly can be in a few minutes as today was stressful (my cat couldnt poop and i cried lol i’m actually a mess.)

ALSO if you read the story, the program seulgi watched when she saw jerome for the first time was You Hee-yeol's Sketchbook when DEAN was on. and the songs she heard where HALF MOON (D) and ORDINARY PEOPLE. (which are probably one of my favourite performances of dean.) easter egg. or something like that i dont know-

ok naomi out

*uses a gif of my sweet winter child as i haven’t used one in ages*

#Writer Speaks.#ooc. { writer speaks writer speaks more like writer writes the declaration of independents what the fuck is this. }#{ started at 9pm with apologizing. ended at 6am with an exploring jerome rant ?? why }#{ hey i kept my word though i said i'd return tomorrow and EXACTLY a day has passed wow those skills }#{ stan talent stan my inability to crank out a sentence under an hour }

♪ -mooninthehiddenmist for either one

gcalebtheloser also asked: Kiss + Lips -mooninthehiddenmist for Sasuke

((OOC: I’ve combined these two asks of yours, because it worked out so well when I was writing it!

SEND ME “KISS” PLUS A BODY PART AND MY MUSE WILL REACT TO YOURS KISSING THEM THERE

PUT A ♪ IN MY ASK BOX AND I’LL PUT MY PLAYLIST ON SHUFFLE AND MAKE YOU A STARTER BASED ON THE NEXT SONG THAT PLAYS.

The song is Old Pine by Ben Howard. Singing starts about 1:20 in))

...Hot sand on toes. Cold sand in sleeping bags......I’ve come to know that memories were the best things you ever hard...

Sasuke reminisced at he stood at the edge of a plateau near his campsite for the night. He looked out over the vast expanse of land as the sun began to sink past mi-day and into evening. He thought of the many places he went to so far with Tsukiya leading the way. He was not one to follow. The last person to lead him was his brother... Itachi...

…We slept like dogs down by the fireside…��Awoke to the fog all around us...

Tsukiya finished laying out Sasuke’s bedroll for the, obviously, distracted man. When done, he made his way over to the plateau as well. He came to stand beside Sasuke, both silently admiring the view. Neither said anything or even acknowledged the other. They simply stood in companionship.

...We stood, steady as the stars in the woods, so happy-hearted......And the warmth rang true inside these bones......I’ve come to know the friends around you are all you’ll always have...

Sasuke’s hand grabbed Tsukiya’s. Though his emotions were tense, Sasuke felt a natural smile when Tsukiya squeezed his hand. “I feel free,” Sasuke murmured. If the evening wasn’t so still, the whisper might have blown off with the wind. “Free as the birds that fly with weightless souls,” he added in a poetic moment. When he turned his head to look at Tsukiya, he was kissed. As quickly as he was there, Tsukiya was gone.

...We grow, grow, steady as the morning......Yeah, we grow, grow, older still......We grow, grow...

Why waste another moment with this gift of a man? Sasuke stepped closer and gave Tsukiya a real kiss, not a chaste peck that felt a bit like pity. No, he offered a passionate clash of men found wanting. When it came to a natural break, Sasuke rested his forehead against Tsukiya’s and broke out a huge grin.

...Happy as a new dawn...

#mooninthehiddenmist #thanks for the ask~~#this one wasn't easy #but the two just went so well together!!#canon au #V: Itachis Will

tips on starting an indie blog?

hey nonnie! sorry if you’ve been waiting for a whole for this ask and i’m just gotting back to you, i’ve been on hiatus and didn’t get a notification for this message!

well as far as setting up an indie blog, like the logistics of setting everything up, i can walk you through my process. ( it’s absolutely mind boggling that you actually felt like i was a Resource to ask about this and i am very flattered boo ty even if it wasn’t meant to be a compliment my bad )

but before that, first rule of starting an indie blog!!!! is have fun!!! pick a character that you relate/feel deeply for. consume as much content for your muse as possible. look at the canon, look at fanfics, fanarts, scribble out some musings or little private oneshots. you don’t ever gotta share these writings with anyone if you don’t want, it’s mostly to keep yourself and get in the grove of writing this character. most of mine are on the notes on my phone and were written at like 3am - 5am, but ngl, it’s nice to see how my writing for each of my muses has progressed.

secondly! i have a habit of choosing characters to write after a good month or two of suddenly having the urge to rp. because woooooo boy if i’d made a blog on a whim at every muse that bugged my brain i’d have way too many children to manage! i started up my cisco sometime after 1.15 and a few weeks after that ep aired i think... i keep this rule to make sure that i continue having fun writing on my new blog! writing is a really difficult process, inspiration can ebb and flow, starters/asks/replies can pile up, irl stuff can get in the way, so the month test lets me know if i wanna maintain that blog. because you should have fun writing your boo!

second rule! don’t worry too much about aesthetics/graphics if you don’t want. i know it’s a trend to have aesthetic blogs rn, but if you don’t know how/want to have them, then you don’t have to give yourself strife over that! ( fair warning tho, a lot of people are a little turn off-ish to gifs that are slapped onto replies because those gifs were created by other people, and their hard work wouldn’t be credited. ) if you wanna make graphics but don’t have photoshop, i recommend using GIMP! i’ve even make icons/graphics on picmonkey before! it’s all about what you feel comfortable doing! and if you need help and you got the money, there lots of peeps willing to do comissions for graphics! *points v loudly @ alwaysxlate and twnkletoes / thebiiscuit / horizoncrossed / dadmighty*

thirdly! don’t forget a lot of rp-ers are shy creatures. a lot of us write because it’s easier to express ourselves through aother character, and that can mean talking to people ourselves, without the guise of a character to present an identity that people will already have an idea with and possibly relate to, can be hard! it’s not just you that’s shy, it’s lots of people! some of my best friends i’ve made here on tumblr have been with people i never in my wildest dreams would’ve tried to talk to initially! talk in the tags! talk in the IMs! post ooc stuff! it’s your blog, you can talk as much ( or as little ) as you want!

not really rules, but ideas i’ve toyed with/learned over the years: a) use a screen name/different screen names on different blogs if you want privacy, b) write (ap) before on your blog title if you have an autoplay for your blog bc music can be startling and yikes, c) don’t be afraid to disable anon, d) your opinions on characters, issues, fandoms, etc., can change and you’re not obligated to share all of them if you don’t want, e) don’t cause drama. really. don’t do it. vague posting is a bad about 90% of the time, f) crack is the weirdest and most cathartic way to lure your muse back out into the open if you’re coming back from a hiatus, g) make icons as you need them. making enough when you start up your blog is cool, but don’t feel obligated to icon every single episode/scene for your muse, esp if your muse is the main protag.

okay! now onto the logistical steps! i hope that i’ve been able to answer your question/give you good tips!

1. i choose an easy to remember email that directly relates to my muse, like a quote they used or a ‘musewashere’ or a song lyric that reminds me of them! it makes password retrieval really easy if you can’t remember your log in after a long hiatus.2. choosing a url can be hard, but don’t choose one that sounds too much like someone else’s, it can be really rude to that person, i’ve had people just add one letter to my urls and every time that makes me feel bad because i feel like that person is just trying to ride off the hard work i’ve put into fostering my url and reputation! unless that person gives you permission, try not do that. when it comes to urls, i like to use dialogue or puns. grace loves puns.3. tags. before anything else, i recommend making a google doc for your tags, ic/character/triggers/ooc/etc. i keep mine up on my bookmarks bar so i can always access them if tumblr forgets my tags, and it’s really easy to help set up your tag dumps with!4. while you’re on that doc, i’d try to write up any about, verse, stat, playlist or etc. info you might want to put into a page. anything that inspires your muse! the rest of this doc is scratch space for you to put anything you might need for your blog! it’ll make your life so much easier, and honestly, i should follow my own advice on this, because sitting down and doing all the about/verse content later on when you wanna be working on replies is the pits.5. now you can move onto graphics! i always end up doing my promo first and then my background container theme. working on the promo allows me to let some creative ideas flow for how i want to establish the blog’s ‘visual brand’ to look like. remember that this can change over time! my color palette for cisco has changed a bajillion times, and i’ve gone from fire/energy textures to ripped paper to blueprints to computer graphics to space. your aesthetic will most likely change, and that’s totally okay! also if you’re having trouble figure out what you want the blog to look like, try to find colors that work with your muse. does your character have a certain visual motif? try running with something that reminds you of that! for me right now, i’m doing space for cisco, with lots of circular shapes!6. now you code. this is the most difficult part for me, because i’m still trying to teach myself how html/css works. if you don’t wanna do a custom code, that’s fine! there’s plenty of pre-made themes for you to try out! i like perusing itsphotoshop.com when i need to look through some times/psds/textures/resources/etc.7. icon, icon, icon, icon! experiment with icons! not everyone likes the same style! i’m partial to either really big icons or really small ones. i’ve used 250px/100px, 125px/125px, 100px/100px 80px/80px, and 60px/60px. try different shapes! try gif icons! it’s all up to you! want to try emojis on your icons? go ahead! want circles? sure! it’s all up to you!8. now plug in your promo, write some appropriate rp tags, ( the first five tags are the only ones tumblr tracks btw. ) make a tag dump, follow some blogs, and post a starter call or a rp meme! from here on out you got your blog!

OOC Info.

Name: Floyd

Age: 23

Preferred Pronoun: He / Him

Timezone: EST

Activity Scale (1-10): Hmmm… I’d say about 7.75 which is basically an 8 if you round up. I can be busy at times because of work, school, and people trying to get me to do stuff.

IC Info. Pre-Written Character

Character Name: Aidan O’Neil

Sexuality: Bisexual.

Your reason for choosing this character: I’ve actually been lowkey lurking this rp for a while and have been slowly reading through all the biographies, and truth be told Aiden’s story is the one that called out to me more than the others. His denial in all things afterlife is what’s preventing him from realizing that even in death his big sister is always watching over him, which goes to show just how protective she is over him. I’m interested in developing his story and see just where it ends up going, if he develops his gifts enough to see his sister and that interaction, or continually denying the existence of ghosts and he tries to live his life without his sister.

Your interpretation of the character: Mr. O’Neil, to me, has always been a rational person and as such can only cling to things that are practical rather than concepts and ideas that he can’t physically see or touch, but that still doesn’t stop him from enjoying stories since they are just that—stories. His relationship with his sister was never the same again when she made the foolish mistake of assuming her brother would ever believe that she could see ghosts. This made Aidan think that his sister might be a lunatic and needed to be hospitalized for hers and everyone else’s safety, but because she recanted it was never brought up again. They somewhat grew apart from each other after this, but in hindsight he deeply regrets being estranged from his sister and would do anything to make up for lost time. Aidan feels somewhat guilty that he is alive and could not live in the UK anymore because of the reminders of his sister everywhere he went, so he took a one way flight to the States as a way to not deal with her death.

Sample Paragraph:

Working the overnight shift at his job can be a bit of a drag considering the mundane tasks they require you to do, but Aidan doesn’t quite mind it since the pay is much higher than working during operating hours. Usually when he’s on these long hour shifts he plugs in his headphones to drown out the rest of the world by humming along to the lyrics of the songs he knows, and somehow it makes time go by faster than normal. While enjoying his warm bangers and mash meal he prepared at home the day before, it made him reminisce of home, back to the days his Gramps would make it for him and his sister as kids. Having lunch back then was usually accompanied with a colorful story or two that his sister somehow made up, which made lunch much more enjoyable. The only one he can vividly recall now was the tale of an Irish man who ran away from home as a boy and later in life became a spy—sort of like the James Bond type. After hearing that story he would run about the house with friends and pretend to be a spy, using his fingers as guns and shooting at random targets. He always knew that his sister was destined to be a writer since she was always making up stories and if he found it interesting, then there’s no doubt in his mind that other people will too. Once his break was over he was back to restocking the canned items one by one, brand by brand, making sure each company’s label is facing forward for everyone to see. While he was putting away some canned pumpkin he just happened to catch the expiration date on the tin and his whole body started to shake little by little. No. It can’t be. His mind must be playing tricks on him since he could feel himself becoming more exhausted as the shift carries on. Something tells him to check again just to be sure and clear as day the label read “03/14/22”. No. No. No. Of all the days in the year why did it have to be her birthday on the can? It’s been a little over two years since that unfaithful day that he tragically lost his sister, and even then winters have never truly been the same for him. It started off just like every birthday of hers where they travel to Gstaad, a more upscale resort town located in the Swiss Alps. This tradition of theirs all started when they were teenagers visiting the soaring mountains with their Gramps, but as the years went he’s since been unable to join his grandchildren in his older age. Now it’s more like a treat for the both of them since they pool all their earnings throughout the year to splurge on the lovely ski trip. The owners of the resort recognize the pair by name and face, so it was at little surprise to them that the employees had a small birthday cake for Tasha, complete with song and dance when they arrived. It was a lovely night spent with his sister around the cozy fireplace sipping away at their hot cocoa, all while they decompress after the long flight and journey up to the resort. If he could trade away everything in his life just have just one more night in his sister’s company doing nothing but watching the flames dance about in the pit, then he would in a heartbeat.

The very next day they were going to head up the mountain together around mid-afternoon when it’s slightly warmer, which meant a lot more people would be active on the mountain in case of an emergency. It must have been when Aidan was getting ready for the day ahead of them when his sister slipped out of the room. He figured that she was going to find the owners or to someone that works at the resort to give a proper thank you for the lovely gesture the night before, but when the time came for them to head up the mountain via a cable car, she was nowhere to be found. Aidan tired his best not to panic but his sister wouldn’t have missed their arraigned time to go up the mountain unless something happened, so he quickly ditched the car to go look for her. He searched the inside of the resort from top to bottom. With each room he was able to check turning up empty, the more he could feel his level of panic starting to rise to the point where he felt like someone might have intentionally hurt her. Since he could not find her in the resort itself, he still asked their security team to help him search the grounds for his sister.

After about a good hour and a half of searching the grounds he somehow found her in the midst of the woods, alone—at least that’s what he tells himself. With a worried look on her face it would have been dumb of him not to assume that she was scared for some reason. There was nothing around them, but very easily there could have been a bear or wolf that could show up at any point so her being scared was normal. Aidan managed to help guide his sister as they were about to the journey out of the woods, but Aidan’s leg somehow got twisted and he collapsed with his sister just a few inches away from him. He hollered out in agonizing pain and could see some kind of shadowy figure advancing towards him. His instincts told him to kick the thing away from him, which he did, but it didn’t really help him. The last thing he remembers about that incident was being dragged away by his sister away from the thing and unable to move his body anymore. He began to drift in and out of consciousness but he distinctly remembers his sister crying over him saying that it was her fault, something that he would never blame her for. Then that was it. The next moment his eyes opened he was greeted by his Grandfather in some Swiss hospital room, everything else foreign to him. He was given the unfortunate news of his sister’s passing and it broke Aidan in pieces—pieces that he still has not completely fixed to this day. He would soon come to find out that his sister had made the ultimate sacrifice by protecting him from the blistering cold, even if it meant that she would not live.

Aidan is snapped away from that god-awful memory when his brain registers the sound of the can that seemed to have fallen out of his hand and plummeted straight to the tiled flooring. With a few blinks he takes out his earbuds and stares down at the can that’s rolling towards his shoe. Without even realizing it a few droplets escape from his eyes and race down his cheeks until they eventually drop from his face at his chin. He bends down to collect the fallen canned pumpkin and he cups it in his hands for a few short seconds then places it all the way in the back on the shelf. With the sleeve of his sweater he rubs his eyes and his face until the watery substance is no longer visible, but try as he must he cannot mask the sniffling of his nose that occurs every few seconds. His sister sacrificed herself so he could live and look at him now. He couldn’t even deal with her death so he had to run away to some city far away enough in the States so he couldn’t face the reality of her being gone. But the thing that Aidan is now beginning to realize is that even though there might not be memories of Tasha everywhere he turns like it was back home in the UK, there will always the little things here or there—like the expiration date of this particular item—that can serve as a grim reminder of what he lost.

One of Aidan’s coworkers pass through the aisle with a cart filled with a few boxes labeled corn and two boxes labeled eggplants. “Ayo bruv, Paul told me to put away produce now and for you to stock these cans.” He could see the hint of confusion on his coworker’s face, which was the perfect opportunity to blitz them into switching duties unexpectedly. “I mean we could get Paul involved,” Aidan starts, already inching closer to the cart, “but you know how he can be a real arse when we bother the wanker.” The person frantically tells him ‘not to talk to Paul’ and graciously allows him control over the cart. “Thanks, bruv.” Aidan whispers to them as he pushes the cart away from his coworker, away from this particular section, and far enough away from that bloody can with the date that is forbidden to reach the surface of his mind before it naturally should.

Latula- Soulmate AU

OOC: 18+ for potential smut after build-up.

I'm absolutely obsessed with Soulmate AUs, so I figured I'd write up a starter for one with me playing Latula. Preferred characters are Mituna, Kankri, Porrim, Meulin, Damara, Dave, Roxy, or Cronus (not in any sort of order). Basically, in this AU I can see the world being black and white until you touch your soulmate. After that, color erupts and everything is just so beautiful. The drama side of things is the world going back to black and white if something happens to your soulmate, so perhaps something like that can be incorporated later on? Discussion about that can definitely happen upon connection. You do not need to match my starter, but at least give me three paragraphs to start out with. No one-liners! Blacklist: #43096 if you don't want to see this.

Most people only had their potential soulmates on their minds. They would spend every waking hour waiting, pacing, praying to meet with their beloved. It made sense. Being born and growing up in a world that was black and white, knowing that color was waiting with just one touch grew to be rather torturous. At least, that was how it was for most people. For one Latula Pyrope, however, she found that she simply didn't mind at all.

Latula had no problems with the world being black and white. Sure, she heard her friends talk about the color that had erupted when they touched their soulmate, but she didn't feel jealousy or hatred toward them. In fact, she was happy. All Latula wanted was for her friends to wear smiles on their faces, looking at the world and noticing just how beautiful it was. Latula, while having her problems, did realize that. Yes, the world could be cruel, but that was simply part of life.

Of course, it was probably medication that helped her come up with those conclusions. They helped her feel something when nothing else could. But to say that it was due to a lack of a soulmate was absolutely preposterous. She had a loving mother, Regina Pyrope, who was a top-tier police chief at the local station, her younger sister, Terezi, was in college for law enforcement to follow in Regina's footsteps. It was Latula that was the odd one out. She loved gaming and skateboarding. She didn't share the passion for justice that her mother and sister did, but that didn't stop the love they all had for one another.

It wasn't as if the Pyropes were poor, either. They'd always had a roof over their heads, presents during birthdays and holidays, food on the table. Yes, they were set financially, too. Latula simply didn't know what caused her to be so anxious. Perhaps it was the fear of the future. The not knowing had always frightened her, made her mind run so wild that she wasn't able to sleep for days on end. Her doctor told her it was an anxiety disorder, but Latula wasn't sure.

So, the medication and the facade she put on in front of others helped a ton. She could laugh at the drop of a hat and mean it. She could talk to her friends about any and everything. Latula had no qualms with that. But there was still the fact that there was just something missing. Or someone, perhaps. Instead of thinking about it, though, she went through the motions of every day life like she always did. Waking up, working, gaming, skateboarding, chatting with friends, repeat. It was a rad life. That's what Latula told herself, at least.

The day color entered her world was a day that started like any other. Latula woke up, showered, ate breakfast, and headed off to work. She worked at the local supermarket. It definitely wasn't anything fancy and, in reality, she didn't really need a job. However, Latula enjoyed doing things herself, and she really wanted a custom skateboard, so she was saving up the money.

Latula clocked in and started her six hour shift, stocking the shelves, helping new patrons out with finding certain things, and humming different theme songs to herself, as she had a habit of doing.

She ran her fingers through her hair as she finished stocking a particularly high stack of green beans and stepped back, admiring her handiwork. Unfortunately, she didn't notice the person walking behind her, causing her to bump into them roughly. Latula gasped at the impact, her eyes widening as the color on the cans suddenly turned a vivid green. The artificial lights from the ceiling hurt her eyes for a moment, but it was beautiful. In that moment, she knew what her friends had been talking about.

She stayed still, holding her breath and looking around at all of the beautiful colors. Despite the growing excitement building inside her chest, she found that she was terrified of turning around. What if her soulmate didn't see colors? What if it was all one-sided? Questions she had never even considered came flooding forward as she exhaled slowly and began turning around, speaking as she did so.

"Sorry, that was really un-rad of me, but, um... do you see it, too? The color, I mean?" she asked.
