steppin' around in a desert of joy

my debut ted lasso fic is here in the flesh, besties and beloveds! i already posted some snippets in ask games (here and here) but now it is complete!

Word count: 13287 Rating: M Relationship: Colin Hughes/Isaac McAdoo Tags: Colin's Concussion: the fic, so much handwaving about the timeline, Episode: s01e04 For the Children (Ted Lasso), rated M for swearing minor injury minor sexual content, you get it Summary: "Isaac squints in the dark to try to see if Colin’s worse than before. If he has a concussion – and he definitely has one – the car ride won’t help with the nausea or dizziness. “I’m pretty sure the only way out of that gala is dying, bruv,” he mutters, and Colin laughs before cringing from the pain. Isaac wants to murder Roy, a little." Isaac takes Colin to the A&E after Roy headbutts him. Things go downhill from there. Also, there's a charity gala.

          tl;dr: gonna clean out inactives and blogs i don’t really interact with ( and vice versa ) but if i end up softblocking you but you still wanna interact, you’re always free to refollow me, though i can’t guarentee i’ll refollow you again. but don’t let that stop you from sharing an idea with me if you really want something to happen between our muses. i love plotted interactions and i’m never gonna be an asshole to you just because we arent mutuals and you’ve approached me with an idea bc you wanna write with me. communication is key!

          heehoo as much as i enjoy seeing my follower count rise as new people find me, i think it’s time for me to clean out some mutuals bc inactivity and no interaction. probably am gonna add this in my rules so people can reference it, but like, if i softblock you that doesn’t mean you can’t ever refollow me again, you feel? especially if it’s bc you’ve been inactive for a while. 

          you’re welcome to refollow me if i softblock you and you still wanna see me on the dash for whatever reason or if you wanna try to interact again. maybe i’ll refollow you, or maybe i won’t. i think the biggest point i wanna bring home with this post/guideline tho is that if you do want to interact with me at any point after we’re no longer mutuals, you’re welcome to just send me an ask if you end up having an idea after i’ve unfollowed you, and i’ll be more than happy to consider!!!!! 

         on a similar vein, i might not follow you in the first place bc i dont see a way for our muses to interact. but if you can see our muses interacting some how, don’t let me not following you back stop you. i know it takes a lot of balls to reach out to non-mutuals when mutualism is like a big norm on this site but like ,,,,, have yall met me lmao i’m not gonna bite your head off if we aren’t mutuals and u have an idea. just please be understanding in the fact that i have the right to polite decline your idea if it’s not something i’m interested in or if it doesn’t vibe with my muses. 

          i’m bringing this up bc i think the next chapter for this blog is really gonna be focused on fleshing out existing dynamics and plotting them out further with those mutuals. i think i’m easily overwhelmed by the want to interact with every mutual i have, but that’s just not possible, and it leads me to inadvertently pushing people who i’ve plotted good things with to the side. don’t get me wrong though — this isn’t me saying i’m not open to new interactions. that’s not the case at all!! i guess this is just me saying that i’m not gonna make myself keep following blogs that don’t interact with me in any way, and i don’t just mean threading. i mean liking my posts, reblogging my posts, sending asks, or initiating threads/plotting. like — interactions in my book really don’t just mean threads. it means learning about a muse and engaging with a mun’s content even if it’s not always writing. and yeah, i do pay attention to that shit, i see yall liking my stuff 👀  and i appreciate it. 

          so yeah, now that i can pay more attention to my blog, i’m gonna clean it up!
