So I’ve been thinking on it over the last few days as I have seen these posts roll by on my dash about things that we’re saying goodbye to from 2017 and goals and hopes for 2018 etc. and I am not sure what it is, exactly, about all of these posts that have made me think about all of the different aspects of my blog and my writing and my rules and my psas as a whole – maybe it’s just that whole spirit of getting everything in order for the new year? – but I have decided that I am going to be writing up and posting a number of things over the next few days that expound on and clarify on certain things from my rules; from my general psas; about my blogs in terms of content and activity and in general just a lot of (and I do mean a lot of) words about what you can expect from me.  Some of you know all of this already – some of you have just figured it out over trial and error over the last … I don’t know, five or six years – hell, now that I think about it I think I’ve been on tumblr for a good… seven or eight years in various roles?   And yes, it’s going to be a lot of things that you might not find relevant, or hey, you might not even pay attention to and that’s cool, honestly, you do what you do, that’s literally the entire purpose of this forum of interaction, but I think that if you really want to know how best to interact with me and how to make the most out of any interactions between my characters and yours – or even how best to interact with me in terms of OOC – that all of these rambles could be pretty darn informative.

They might also piss you off entirely.  I am going to be pretty up front about the way things work for me; what I like and what I don’t; what ways are best to keep me interested and involved etc and I am WELL aware that there are a lot of things that I am happy to write about in terms of content that a lot of people aren’t and that some people might find absolutely offensive and that’s fine.  You don’t have to agree with me and honestly? I don’t need you to.  I’m here to enjoy myself.  I’m here to find an outlet for creative energies, for frustrations and demons that I’ve dealt with throughout my life, and if you find that content offensive, I am sorry, but the solution is very simple: unfollow me.  Block me.  Seriously, I want you to do whatever it is that you need to do for you to be comfortable and to feel safe on your dash.  If you want to talk to me about something, if you really want to know the reasons why I write certain things, absolutely feel free to approach me.  I have no problem being candid with you.  But if you want to tell me how horrible I am, how disgusting I am, if you want to say how dare I – just don’t waste your energies, please. I’m not here to make other people happy, save the obvious of nothing makes me happier when the creative juices are flowing and plots explode and threads take off and epic story arcs develop and so on; my blogs are my blogs for a reason – they’re mine.  Not yours.  Please don’t tell me how I should act, what I should or shouldn’t write; don’t tell me I’m insensitive to phobias, to prejudices, to traumas.  I’m not here to be judged.  I’m here to enjoy myself, and to express myself and develop character stories and arcs with other writer that we can both relish.  All of that said – I absolutely respect your right to block me or to unfollow me etc. and I absolutely do my best to tag anything / everything that might be triggering to someone else with ‘CONTENT tw’ so that people can soft block anything that they need to.  If I forget to tag something, or if I don’t make a habit of tagging something that you are uncomfortable with, for any reason, absolutely feel fee to poke me via ask / im etc. and ask me to tag something.  

If you want to write with me, if you want a plot that includes nine out of ten potential triggers, types of violence or sexual content, but there’s that ONE THING that you just can’t write, or aren’t comfortable with, or just really really NEED to avoid for whatever reason, PLEASE TELL ME.  I have zero problems tailoring specific threads / story arcs etc. to fit comfort zones of my partners.  If for some reason, I can’t find a way to work around any issue without entirely having to cull out focal points of my character, you know what?  I’ve got like… fifty more that I’m absolutely positive we can find at least one of them that will work for that or a similar plotline without detracting from the makeup of that character!  

SO … now that I went off on an unexpected tangent (okay but really is anyone surprised?!) I’m going to take a minute to list a few of the areas that I plan on talking about / expounding on over the next couple days:  obviously, content on my blog, including sexual content, violence, plot lines, triggers (or lack thereof), things I will roleplay that might be triggering to other people including non-consensual and dubiously-consensual sexual interactions, gaslighting, emotional and mental manipulation, molestation, incest, extreme violence, psychological, emotional, physical and sexual manipulation and torture, brainwashing, mental / magical / other forms of direct control (hypnosis, telepathy, mind control, so on and so forth), my roleplay speed and general expectations in terms of my activity, exclusivity and mains, muse and the fickleness of such things, blog-hopping, character development, ooc interactions & forms of communication, generals do’s & don’ts for keeping me involved/focused, information about my ooc life that affects my mood, muse, time & availability, information about my commissions (and speed etc. on those), story arcs and wishlist items including verses and aus, information about my many characters and which ones are likely to be more active etc….   basically, I’m just going to be dragging together all the various thoughts and musings that I’ve had about my roleplay and my time here on tumblr and everything that has sort of culminated in this huge outpouring of words.  Why?  Because I can?  Sure, but also because I think that being forthright about the way my thought processes work and about how, what, why I / my blogs are the way they are might help in terms of coalescing and meshing with all the fantastic writers out there that have reached out to me over the last few years that might feel unwanted or otherwise neglected when really, honestly, 110% it isn’t you, it’s definitely me.  

And again … it’s going to be a lot of words, and they might all go entirely unread and that’s fine.  I just feel compelled to get all this out of my head and down on paper, as it were so…  

If you don’t want to see all of these, please block the tag ‘pennys wordsplosion 2k18’.  I will be surmising all of the incredibly important parts and pieces after the fact and consolidating them into a revamped rules for my blogs, but that might be a little bit later down the line as I work on actually getting my blogs in order / try and make some order out of the mess of posts and tags and everything else that needs looking after!  

Everything else aside, I genuinely hope that you all have a fantastic new years and I will be around for plotting, scheming, general chatting etc. fairly consistently until at least my birthday on the fifth, and probably a couple days after, until around the eighth when my daughter’s home school picks up again when my activity will diminish somewhat, but I should always be lurking at least some point during any given day if you need to plot or talk.  Much love, always, Penny.
