KNOWING YOUR PARTNER WELL CAN POTENTIALLY MAKE WRITING TOGETHER A LOT EASIER. ( REPOST DO NOT REBLOG ! )  

Name: Matt / Matthew, either’s fine with me 

Pronouns: He/Him

Preference of communication: Tumblr IMs are the best way to get in touch with me. I do have Discord but it’s connected to my art account and I’m not on there as much as I should be.

Name of muse(s): Raymond ‘Riptide’ Moran, Riley Moran, Conrad ‘Blackheart’ Davies, Captain Matias del Varga Villanueva

Experience/How long (months/years?): I think it’s been about 4-5 years now?

Platforms you’ve used: Tumblr and Twitter’s about it.

Best experience: I can’t decide. Over the years I’ve had so many amazing experiences with equally amazing people. I don’t think it would do them all justice just to pick one.

Pet peeves / Dealbreakers: Rushing/Poking me for a reply has become a big one for me lately. I just don’t like being pressured as I try to get to replies when I can. I have a bad case of athazagoraphobia, so one thing that bothers me is when someone I’m interacting with suddenly starts completely ignoring me altogether while interacting with everyone else. I don’t mind it if  they let me know they aren’t feeling it, but when it happens out of nowhere, it makes me feel bad as an RP partner.

Fluff, angst, or smut: I can go for all three but I love me some fluff~!

Plots or memes: Both are good! I usually get less traction with memes though so I do prefer plots a bit more.

Best time to write: I’m like super inconsistent about when I’m active, but overall the best time to write with me is after 4 PM because that’s when I get off work. Or on Wednesdays because that’s my day off.

Are you like your muse(s): I’m not exactly like any of my muses, but there’s a small piece of my personality in each of them.

Starter for @the-bad-boys-of-ror

(One would be forgiven for being surprised to see Ray at the gym. He wasn’t exactly the type to be big into working out.

And they’d be right. 

Ray was only there to check out (and maybe get taken home by) the huge, muscled men that frequented the gym. He had a few of the guys there flirt with him, and even got to feel a few muscles, but none of them ever really showed interest in getting a bit more...touchy with Ray.

At this point, the young man was ready to give up. He sighed, bending over to pick up his bag.)

Starter for @recallxformxcruited (You can decide if it’s Lorenzo or Francois)

(It had been a long day tending to the facility’s spa. Ray had taken over for the place by himself, as Ernesto was currently on tour.

Not that Ray minded! He loved getting the chance to run the place on his own. It was far easier than he expected, and it felt good knowing he was helping his teammates relax. Everything had gone smoothly...well, there was that time he’d walked in on Jesse and Hanzo in the hot tub together.

He did get to join in though, so he considered that a win.

It was early in the morning, and he had just finished getting everything ready for visitors, when the door opened and someone stepped inside...)

Overwatch Winter Wonderland Skins - Raymond ‘Riptide’ Moran - “Mistletoe”

“Nothing like generous amounts of mistletoe to help Ray with this season’s get kissed quick scheme. Whether it’s friend or foe, all men are welcome and all kisses are accepted. (Kisses on the cheek from girls are fine.)”

Guess who just finished all of his OW OCs’ holiday skins? ^^

[the-ripping-tides-archive]

Riptide - “Spirithunter”

“Something strange in your community? Don’t fret! Phantasmic men in your bed? Don’t worry, Ray’s been there! Slime-spewing ghosts ruining your day? Who you gonna call? Spirithunter! This fearless, ghost-catching extraordinaire will make sure your place is scare-free in no time flat!“

Hey, if other characters can have skins that change hair style/color, why can’t Ray? XD

The idea for the Spirithunter skin came from @affectos/@recallxformxcruited! I did change a few things appearance-wise to make it look a bit different from Ray’s default, but the idea behind the skin itself is 100% his. ^^

[the-ripping-tides-archive]

Just in time, here's all the Summer Event skins for all six of my Overwatch guys! ^^

Ray (Surfing) - Ray was trained to surf by a retired surfing legend, and it shows! Every huge wave Ray's encountered, he and his trusty surfboard have always conquered! Ray's a complete crowd-bringer in competitions!

Conrad (Beach Bod) - Summer means sun, beaches and excuses for Conrad to show off his summer body! Hey, what's the point of having those muscles if you don't use 'em to give beach-goers a good show?

Matias (R&R) - Even feared pirate captains need a little vacation every now and then! And Matias prefers to soak up some sun...while pillaging, bombarding and terrorizing like always. Piracy truly never takes a break!

Tobias (Coaching) - Tobias takes up a coaching role in order to make sure his fellow Overwatch agents put their best foot forward in sports! Of course, he doesn't exactly put much effort into training them.

Riley (Tourist) - No middle-aged tourist should go anywhere without the proper essentials! Camera to get those memorable snaps? Check! Money to spend on unnecessary souvenirs? Check! Tacky dad-cation shirts? Absolutely!

Kashif (Gymnastics) - While not exactly an olympian, Kashif still has the agility and balance to be quite the gymnast! That being said, he's never really worked up the nerve to give a public display of his athleticism.

Riley’s skin was inspired by a picture done by my awesome friend @lostmymoral! ^^

In the spirit of the month of October, I’m bringing out my Demon!Ray for some good old interaction, so give this post a like/reblog if you want to meet this flirty demon!

Be careful, though! He’s a demon of lust who very good at what he does! XD

(I’m going to be off for the night in a bit so any starters prompted will be sent tomorrow!)

Ray: “I wish I was half the hero everyone else here is...”

[the-ripping-tides-archive]

Ray actually has perpetual dark circles and bags under his eyes from not getting enough sleep, but he covers them up before heading out so as not to worry anyone.

@asthebeatdrops - From here

(Ray smiles, reaching into the bag he was holding and taking out a nice, big...

...frog plush, wearing small yellow headphones.)

Ray: “I stopped by one of those places that lets you build your own stuffed animal. Saw the frog and the little headphones and thought it’d be perfect for you! And since I had some money left over from making my own...well, I thought I’d make you one.”

@asthebeatdrops - Continued from here

(Ray looked a bit surprised as Lucio cut in between the man he was ‘dancing’ with, but quickly smiled.)

Ray: “Oh, thank goodness. I told that guy I really didn’t know how to dance or even wanted to but he practically dragged me up here.“ (He grins) “But if a cute dude like yourself is willing to show me the ropes, I might just have to stay on here after all.”

(And so, he did as Lucio told, following the man’s lead step-by-step.)

Raymond ‘Riptide’ Moran wasn’t sure how he ended up currently spending time with Hanzo, but despite word that he was rough around the edges, Riptide found himself at ease with the archer’s company.
