rules below !

hi!! 👋 i'm fable, i'm 23 years old, my timezone is est, i've been in the rpc for ~10 years, and you could pour soup in my lap and i'd probably apologize to you. if the way these are worded makes me sound a little harsh, it isn't meant to come off that way!! i've just been in the rpc for too long to be vague or lenient. that said, a few common sense rules before we get into the lengthier ones that may need a lil explaining:

— don't follow me if you're a dick towards any group of oppressed people. — mun =/= muse, i don't condone everything my muse does or has done in the past, you get the drill. — vagueposting / guiltposting is an instant block from me. direct communication is free.

anyway !!

[ 1 ] for blogs that i can’t see myself interacting with, i will soft block you to keep my followers clean ( unless your rules specify that you prefer to be hard blocked ) and i ask that you do the same to me so that i don't accidentally send memes or whatever to someone i'm not mutuals with. personal blogs will be also hard blocked immediately unless a sideblog is attached to it and i can easily see that. also, do not unfollow and follow again and again to get my attention. i will just hard block you and call it a day.

[ 2 ] i will only write with 18+ muns. if you follow me and are a minor or your age is not listed clearly on your blog, i will soft block you asap. do not lie to me about your age, you will be hard blocked if i find out.

on a similar but less serious note, i also don't follow if i can't immediately see an alias. just...kinda wanna know who i'm following, is all.

[ 3 ] i get that plotting is kinda important for some people!! however, rarely will i ever fully plot a thread, and i heavily prefer using memes to start interactions unless we're comfy enough to where i can just hop in your dms with an idea. now, plotting for the general vibe of the thread and dynamic between characters? absolutely!! but frankly, if i relied on completely plotting threads, i'd kill my creativity and get even less done than i already do. i'm here for a fun time, not a stressful time.

[ 4 ] speaking of relying on memes, feel free to send me several at a time! there's no pressure, of course, but you're more likely to get a timely response if you give me variety to work with. if i get a meme i don't think i can work with, i'll probably just send several back to you to make up for it, but please let me know if you would rather i not do that!!

also, memes i reblog never "expire". if i reblogged a meme six months ago and you wanna send something from it, have at it!! just. maybe like the post at the same time or something so i can check the context of it, if it's important lmao

[ 5 ] i am 23 and omen is very much an adult, so nsfw content is likely to show up here in some capacity, but mostly through headcanons and musings. when it does, it'll be tagged as "nsfw //" ( or "suggestive //" if it's only implied ). however, i'm only going to write those topics with people i'm close to, and even then, very rarely.

[ 6 ] i love shipping!! i am the least picky person i know, omen is kissable, and chances are i'm gonna be down with anything as long as we've talked about it a little ooc and the muses have chemistry and it's, you know, legal. i am down to explore all possible paths of a dynamic ( platonic or romantic ), so literally anything is a-okay if we talk it over first.

[ 7 ] anon hate is cringe, so if you send it, it won't get a response from me unless it's to make fun of you. at this point i expect most of us to know not to answer it seriously otherwise the sender is just being encouraged, so if i keep seeing it being answered / talked about on the dash ( unless it's being poked fun at ), i'm probably just going to soft block for my sake because. y'know, you didn't wanna get the negativity, i don't wanna see that negativity, etc.

on that note, untagged negativity will also lead to me unfollowing. untagged posts in general will lead to me unfollowing if it's a frequent thing, honestly.

[ 8 ] if you need something tagged, tell me! i’ll do my best to remember to tag what i need to, but please remind me if i happen to forget. my memory is genuinely so bad, i promise it's never intentional if i leave off a tag. the system i use is just "trigger //", and as for what i need tagged, all i ask is that visuals of sunflowers and ic detailed descriptions of terminal illnesses are tagged, specifically cancer. i'm not gonna get on anyone's case for not tagging either of those or anything, it'd just be nice <3

[ 9 ] obligatory "let's just have fun" rule here, we're all on this godawful site to write our silly little guys, it really isn't that serious. just be decent, and we'll be chill!!

[abrazimir]

If someone were to want to start roleplay blogging on here, how would you advise they start?

FASCINATING question, I won't lie tumblr rp blogging is a bit convoluted but I'll give a go at writing a start up guide!

First; choose your muse! (Muse here means the character you are playing, as apposed to the 'mun' which is you the writer) This is harder than you might expect since the advent of the multimuse blog boom, but if you're just starting I would recommend picking a character you both really like AND can easily put in situations. Trust me, being a 'no AU or crossover' rper on here is a trial.

Second; Make a blog for that muse! Now listen, people have managed to make rp side blogs from their personal fandom blog and rp that way, but trust me it's a major hassle and it is best to keep your personal account and your rp account seperate. This however does mean you need to make an account with a whole different email etc etc it's a massive pain BUT it's short term for great benefit. Now! The things you 100% need on your rp blog somewhere easily accessible;

- RULES! Take a look through other peoples blogs and their rules to get a kind of idea of the point of them and keep updating your own as you go!

- Information about your muse, who they are, a blurb about them especially if they're an original character, and any canon divergences or specific HC's you have for the canon ones.

- VERSES! I know this sounds like a late game thing, but try to divide up your muse's life into defined sections depending on massive changes in their life or character so people can get an idea of what they'll be rping against. And think about how you want to adapt your muse into different universes that you might want to rp in and make 'AU verses' out of them, it'll expand the numbers of people you can interact with immensely.

Third! Find people to follow; Again this can be harder than you might expect, rp communities are all connected by thin threads and you'll find more people as you play. But in general just typing '(fandom name) rp' into tumblr search will get you somewhere. Find blogs you like the look of, check their rules to make sure it's all good and follow them. If they follow you back, congrats! You have a mutual and now you can do things like send them meme sentence starters when they reblog them or like their starter calls (posts that say' starter call' somewhere that you like and the person might write you a starter rp post from their character to yours)

Fourth; Roleplay! So, people will have different preferences in terms of rp length and type, but in general all replies should have three things;

-something for the other person to reply too, an action or comment originating from your muse that they can reasonably turn into a reply. Try to make sure you're not just reacting to what happened in the previous reply, engage with it too, and if you can't then go back to your rp partner and see if you can work something out over IM's.

- An acknowledgement of who you are interacting with. This can be anything, but try not to get too caught up in your characters response that you forget who they're responding too. In general characters won't react the same with a child as with a 1000 year old vampire or whatever etc, respond to WHO your partner is, keep it unique for all your partners and you'll all have a good time!

-Something for you! You have to leave your sense of cringe at the door in this business, think about what things make you enjoy your muse as a character and include them in your replies, even if it's just drawing attention to a particularly cool scar or whatever, your partner will engage with it and then you'll be excited to reply next time!

RP Courtesies to remember!

- If you see someone reblog a sentence meme post, try to send them something from it before you reblog it yourself. It's just polite and makes sure people are getting interactions.

- If someone's written a starter for you, like it before you put it in your drafts. Even if you never reply to it, it polite to just let them know you've seen it at least!

- Don't pester people for replies, everyone's busy and replies are a fickle business.

- Tag anything that's not roleplaying or HC posts or the like as 'ooc' so people can keep their dashes clear for just rp if they wish too.

- Don't reblog other people's rp threads!!! tumblr rp relies a lot on notifications and messing with it can make it difficult to see when you need to respond.

Thats all I can think of for now! Hope it was helpful

✩  INTERVIEW WITH THE MUN  ✩

➊ How many ships do you have on this blog?

          I don’t know, let’s count! I’ve been writing some super fun GabrielxBobby stuff with @multimuse-rp, and that good (complicated) GabrielxDean shit with @awaywardboy-andhisangel and actually... that’s all the canonxcanon ship stuff I’m writing right now for some reason. But that’s not all the ships!  Fulfilling a years long dream (for me) @daedaluscried and I are writing GabrielxAri and she has also indulged some excellet (unrequited) GabrielxEve content, @thxwxlf and I have dabbled in some GabrielxKekipi, and @inferniangod has been kind enough to write GabrielxIfrit with me. 

          I’ve discussed, but not actually written GabrielxSam with @smmie, and I think @hellsmother and I are on track to write some GabrielxRowena (but if I’m not sure I should probably check, whoops).  So that’s six total, eight if you count these last two.  Plus a handful of others where Gabriel is just flirting at people and waiting to see what happens.  Nothing has to happen, he’s just like that.  But something could happen with any of them.

➋ Have you ever roleplayed with someone that just left an unforgettable impression on you?

          Of course!  I’ve been doing this for 10+ years and people have made all kinds of impressions, some amazingly good and others downright awful. I can roll through some nicknames/first names only and proably only Anti will know who I’m talking about because a lot of them are from our shared history on gaiaonline!  I could go on and on about every single one of these people but here’s a quick ‘n dirty list instead: Noir, Kathy, Mariah, Moose, Lyss, Berry, and @daedaluscried!  I’m still occasionally in touch with three of these people (one more often than the other two) which I think is kind of wild all things considered. There’s also some not so good impressions, like guy-who-started-nice-and-then-harassed-me-for-nude-pics and the-person-who-broke-my-trust-and-caused-me-to-stop-writing-smut, but i have put them far far behind me.

➌ Which of your ships on this blog is the fluffiest?

          The fluffiest is probaly Gabriel and Ari now that we’ve gotten into the emotional core of the relationship on both ends.  Which isn’t to say that it’s not a spicy ship with a helping of angst, but... I’ve written more hand-holding with them than with any of the others and I guess that’s my definition of fluff. Also I suspect the gratuitous hand-holding will continue even once they’re past the language barrier. So... FLUFF.

➍ Would you say you’re a decent role player or do you have any self doubts?

          I think I’m a decent writer but my roleplay skills vary depending on the day.  I understand how to set a mood and (usually) how to string a decent sentence together but sometimes the craft that goes into bouncing off of another writer and giving them something to bounce off of in return eludes me.

➎ Have you made lots of friends on this blog?

          More than I expected too. But when I set this blog up I thought ‘those days are behind me now’ so... one would be more than I expected.

➏ What’s the one thing you especially love about roleplaying your muse?

          WRITING THE JOKES!  And not just the verbal jokes he makes, I love writing jokes into my narration! Meta jokes! Dick jokes! Bad puns! All of it! I love it!! I also enjoy the way Gabriel interacts with the world around him.  He rarely just stands in a scene and talks, he’s always moving and gesturing and doing stuff. I also love writing his dialogue, even when the things I write make me squinch my face up with shame. He just says stuff sometimes. 

➐ Are there any people you’ve been to afraid of approaching?

          NOPE!  I’m not afraid to reach out. Approaching people is the easy part. You send a meme, you make an ooc comment, you tag them in something, you hit them with an ask or an IM or whatever.  And if they don’t answer that’s a-okay!  Their choice, I’m not hurt or personally offended. What I’m afraid of is what happens after that part if they do answer.  I can usually BS a thread until I find the point of the thing but IMs and asks? Y I K E S ! Now there’s an expectation for me to be cool and witty and have good ideas instead of just mediocre ones. Very scary. The reason I don’t send IMs.

➑ Give us a rough estimate: How much time have you spent on your graphics? (icons, theme, banners, promos, etc)

          My icons/graphics are a visual representation of me learning to use G.I.M.P. and I think you can... very clearly see the learning curve.  More effort went into those old fuzzy icons I have than the new, crisp ones. Plus moodboards and other stuff?   My guess is 40+ hours.

➒ Got any memorable threads on here? Care to mention a few?

          Well now I wish I had thread tags.  Thread tags would be a lifesaver right now.  Anyway, I am once again shouting out @awaywardboy-andhisangel and our original GabexDean thread that has since spiraled and gotten very, very interesting (it’s not over, I just like it).  And @divinitatemxsanguis who has allowed me to indulge in writing Gabriel with Loki post all the betrayl and murder. They have a special place in my heart so thanks for not judging me! I’m getting ready to write the conclusion/endcap to a sad thread with @isclcphobics involving Talia, Gabriel, and a grave. Plus the thread with @downwillow where Gabriel is human and Micheal has forgotten him. And a shoutout to @daedaluscried for our thread series that I have affectionately dubbed the ‘The Nanny’ series ft. October and Gabriel.  Every thread has been a delight.

          I also have some stuff I’m really looking forward to getting into, specifically with @hellsmother​, @cursebcund​, and @magaprima​.

➓ What were some of the most frustrating moments you had with your muse’s interaction with another muse?

          One that’s on me: sometimes I know that a moment in a thread calls for some emotional vunerability, and often when those times roll around the Gabriel voice I use to write dialogue goes all quiet and resistant and just wants to make jokes.  And either one of two things happens, either I write the joke and cringe because I know now the thread is going to go way off track because obviously the other character won’t be thrilled/is about to shut down and shut up. Or I force some emotional vunerability out of him and it never quite sounds right to me.  Sometimes it’s natural, but sometimes he just won’t do the thing and it frustrates me!

          One that I’ve encountered from someone else: sometimes people will try to force a certain motivation or trait on my Gabriel based on their perception of canon/a past interaction they’ve had with another Gabe as portrayed by another RPer. This really grinds my gears because if you want a Gabriel with that motivation to critique/praise/fight with then go find one! I garantee someone out there plays him that way! There are a lot of us out here doing this! I’m not going to change my portrayl for you!!

THE POSITIVE & NEGATIVE; Mun & Muse - Meme.

fill out & repost ♥ This meme definitely favors canons more, but I hope OC’s still can make it somehow work with their own lore, and lil’ fandom of friends & mutuals. Multi-Muses pick the muse you are the most invested in atm.

My muse is:   canon / oc / au / canon-divergent / fandomless /

Is your character popular in the fandom?  YES / NO / Depends. I think fans usually love Sonia or hate her.

Is your character considered hot™ in the fandom?  YES / NO / IDK.

Is your character considered strong in the fandom?  YES / NO / In some aspects.

Are they underrated?  YES / NO.

Were they relevant for the main story?  YES / NO.

Were they relevant for the main character?  YES / NO /

Are they widely known in their world?  YES / NO.

How’s their reputation?  GOOD / BAD / NEUTRAL / Verse-dependent. Mostly good, unless Despair-verse or post-Neo World Program/post-SDR2 for canon verses or Talentswap!AU for my Ultimate Mafia Boss AU. Sonia's reputation is pretty terrible in these.

How strictly do you follow canon?  

I do the best I can, considering that for most Danganronpa characters, there's limited information unless they're a protagonist. Considering DR, depending on the timeline of Sonia's class, takes place in various settings, realities, and states of mind, it can be a challenge to keep everything consistent. While I don't do a lot of threads that take place strictly in the SDR2-verse, where I do try to keep events canon to how they unfold in the game and as precisely as Sonia is presented as I can, other verses tend to be a bit more canon-divergent in order to fill in character building gaps that the game and anime don't really offer. The biggest change I tend to do is that unless I'm writing a thread of Sonia's arrival or first year at Hope's Peak or during the Neo World Program of SDR2, I don't tend to write many of her slang or word mix-ups. While Sonia reads and writes her 30+ languages better than she speaks them, I still believe she picks up on foreign languages easily and learns from her mistakes. She's a smart person, considering all of her talents mentioned in the SDR2 game alone. I also tend to disregard some of Hajime's free-time events with Sonia, particularly in terms of the hero legend and how she would allow the fabled hero to immediately marry and rule with her. My Sonia, for the most part, is a self-rescuing princess (and has a tendency to want to rescue everyone else too!).

SELL YOUR MUSE! Aka try to list everything, which makes your muse interesting in your opinion to make them spicy for your mutuals.  

Is your muse looking for a friend and/or significant other who's just fascinated by everything they do and will support them no matter what? Someone who doesn't care about where you come from, your family, your looks, your socio-economic status but only who you are? Someone generous, kind, gentle, optimistic, smart, well-read, well-mannered, and will always be your muse's biggest cheerleader? Then your muse will definitely want to meet Sonia Nevermind, Hope's Peak Academy's Ultimate Princess and occult and serial killer-lover extraordinaire. She's poised to inherit a European country that thrives under absolute monarchy, a ridiculous amount of wealth and prestige, her own military, and more homes and assets than one person, and one family, really need. But get her talking about her favorite books/movies/TV shows, particularly horror and romantic dramas, and she'll be ecstatic. She loves exploring haunted locales, questioning the motives and methods of serial killers (real and fictional! I hope you've seen Friday the 13th, Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, etc. Is your muse Team Freddy or Team Jason?), and experiencing a 'normal' lifestyle unbefitting of a royal. Novoselic has no amusement parks, so your muse can really wow Sonia by introducing her to her first roller coaster! While she can't actually participate in Freemasonry or murdering people (Despair and Talentswap verses aside!) due to her title, she's still quite intrigued by it all. And like any proper Novosonian, she adores her chocolate and her wine. She's got a massive sweet tooth, perfect for her usual sweet and kind demeanor.

Now the OPPOSITE, list everything why your muse could not be so interesting (even if you may not agree, what does the fandom perhaps think?)

She's not terribly edgy or sarcastic in most of her verses. It's very easy for Sonia to get duped by someone, as she's quick to consider people friends unless otherwise shown differently. She's very poised and polite due to her upbringing and doesn't often act on every impulse she has or speak her mind, especially if her opinion is divisive or negative, unless she trusts your muse. It's easy for her to accept friends into her life and far more difficult to accept romantic love, as she's frequently facing people who love her for her looks, title, and apparent purity, which frustrates her. She doesn't want to be put on a pedestal, she simply wants to be treated normally. She also doesn't get into too many fights, especially if she's been slighted. This is not a muse who's going to throw a punch, but she's excellent with firearms of all sorts. Pistols? Check. Rifles? Mastered them. Rocket launcher? Her favorite! And of course, she learned how to drive a tank before she could drive a car. If you're looking for a meek and shy muse to write with, Sonia's not that type. She's reserved in some things, but if your muse is really out of line? She'll call them out on it. She also has a tendency to want to lead in everything (it's a struggle for her to give up control, she can't help it!) and is a workaholic unless your muse distracts her.

Sonia has a fair amount of Rich People Problems. If that doesn't interest you or your muse, you may not enjoy interacting with her. But she remains as humble as she can about it all. She's terrible at putting herself first and admitting feelings for anyone, automatically assuming the person she cares for wouldn't want to be close to her, platonically or romantically, because of how complicated her life is as a future monarch. There's a lot of press, official appearances, and times she has to be a Princess before a person. She never wants to feel like a burden to your muse, which can sometimes come off as passive. But in life or death situations? Her bravery comes through.

And let's not go into how her Despair verse could be potentially triggering to some muses and/or muns. Sonia's absolutely disgusting when in Despair: lots of gore, lots of torture, lots of death, lots of blood, and a fair amount of sex with bad intentions. She's a gross human being (and has to deal with all of that in a post-Neo World Program verse!).

What inspired you to rp your muse?  

I've been roleplaying for a pretty long time (not necessarily all on tumblr, but for awhile. I'm old!), and I've played action/fighting muses, know-it-all/brainy/witty muses, and muses who border on the mean girl trope with a heart of gold. But I've never really played a sincerely kind and good person. I tend to prefer writing female characters (I'm just more comfortable writing women than men most of the time!) and I've always had an interest in royalty and European history since I was a child. I played and watched Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc originally and while I found it fun, it didn't really hold my attention for long. It took 5-6 years or so for me to try out SDR2, and upon getting introduced to Sonia it was just a perfect fit. I love how kind and open-minded she is, how much she believes in the best of everyone, and how her interests in the occult, serial killers, anime, and dramas are a stark contrast to her royal upbringing. So many royal characters are complete snobs with no interest in commoners, which was never the sort of muse I wanted to write. But I loved the idea of Sonia's fish out of water situation of being the only foreigner in her class (and likely most of the school), who's just so happy to be there even though she gets various customs wrong and is just plain weird due to her personal interests. Additionally, I have a strong interest in horror, the occult, and serial killers myself, so it's been fun incorporating my thoughts on what Sonia would like outside of what the game and anime offered.

What keeps your inspiration going?  

This might be corny, but it's Sonia's innate curiosity about the world and everyone in it. Admittedly, I'm not terribly up to date on current and popular anime (and I've only played DRV3 once, so I don't know those muses as well, and I never completed that game's Talent Development Plan), so it's hard when I don't always know the franchise of the other muse Sonia's interacting with, but she's still so fascinated about others and is inclined to ask questions and take on new experiences. But when I'm feeling stuck on inspiration, I'm returning to books, movies, and TV shows. For Sonia specifically, I watch and read a lot of historical and royal-focused dramas, as well as horror and classic literature. I also follow blogs featuring royal history and modern royal coverage (though when it turns too gossipy, I tend to cringe!) for plot ideas. 

Still, it's the hardest for me to interact with other muses whose muns automatically assume I'm familiar with their fandom, especially when it's popular. I tend to do a fair amount of apologizing in that case, as most of my favorite anime are considered old or classic at this point. 

Some more personal questions for the mun.

Give your mutuals some insight about the way you are in some matters, which could lead them to get more comfortable with you or perhaps not.

Do you think you give your character justice?  YES / NO.

Do you frequently write headcanons?  YES / NO. 

Do you sometimes write drabbles?  YES / NO.  

Do you think a lot about your Muse during the day?  YES / NO.

Are you confident in your portrayal?   YES / NO.

Are you confident in your writing?  YES / NO / Most of the time!

Are you a sensitive person?  YES / NO.

Do you accept criticism well about your portrayal?  

Not terribly. In general, if someone doesn't like my portrayal, I question why they're following me (especially if we aren't writing together). I'm much more the type to respect someone's space if they decide to unfollow and/or softblock than want criticism of my portrayal. Of course, it's different if I'm writing with someone for awhile and we have multiple threads and character development, I'm a little more open to criticism but likely won't change my portrayal based on it. 

Do you like questions, which help you explore your character?

I do! In general though, I tend to prioritize threads and IC asks over OOC, starting with what I've got muse to write with first. I have anon turned off and so I don't really get a lot of random questions about my muse anymore unless I've posted a meme asking for muse headcanons, but when I do get them, I try to answer them to the best of my ability.

If someone disagrees to a headcanon of yours, do you want to know why?

Not really. It's okay to disagree with my headcanon, that's totally valid! But if it gets to the point where I'm being told how to write my muse, I get annoyed. When I write with a mun, I accept their headcanons in our threads, no questions asked. I prefer the same courtesy with my muse and their headcanons too.

If someone disagrees with your portrayal, how would you take it?  

Doesn't really matter to me. My general assumption is, is if someone disagrees with my portrayal, they likely won't write with me, follow me, or accept ask meme submissions from me. 

If someone really hates your character, how do you take it?  

We probably aren't roleplaying together. They likely either don't want to write with a Sonia or my version of her, and that's ok! What isn't ok is gossip and anon hate. I've turned off anon for this reason and won't turn it back on unless I need to (for example, a mutual I trust wants to send something on anon IC). It's a significant weight off my shoulders, not dealing with OOC anon rudeness.

Are you okay with people pointing out your grammatical errors?

Sure! No one's perfect. The only one that bothers me is different spelling for US English and UK/AUS/CAN English. I'm from the US and it's just easier to write in that, so I don't get anything wrong.

Do you think you are easy going as a mun?  

I like to think so! I'm pretty easygoing and understanding of things like hiatuses, no writing inspo, etc, as long as I'm told that's what it is. Of course, I have my preferences for writing style (I don't do much one-liners or crack RP, just not my thing. I write a lot and try to avoid purple prose as much as I can!), but otherwise I like to plot, to wing it, coming up with new AUs and ships, etc. I also like chatting fandoms and such OOC as well! Admittedly I'm not great when it comes to mental health struggles, as I go through them myself and while I'm pretty high-functioning, RP and tumblr is my escape from my career and horrible stuff IRL, keeping me grounded and such. I like roleplaying, chatting fandoms and fun things, and just having a good time over here and on discord.

That’s about it, congrats for filling out!

Inspiration for Silas’s redesign, a TEDxTalk

((Because I’m in a mood to dodge all of my life responsibilities, I’d figure I detail pretty much the design process of Silas’s redesign up until now. 

The beginning:

About 3 beers in on a Friday night, after watching the vol 7 trailer (which got a meh overall) I decided that “Hey, with vol 7 coming up I’m gonna redo a complete revamp of Silas’s character.” Well, it was a bright fucking idea considering it was still when midterms were going on, but hey that didn’t stop me. I had enough notes to go on when I picked up the project again when things died down.

Visuals: 

The anchor of Silas’s visual is, you guessed it, his hat. I absolutely didn’t want to give him a hood again cause I don’t want him to be another generic self-insert OC the RP community may have seen one too many of. The helmet, while fully practical, doesn’t suit his character well in my opinion. He’s a ranged fighter and only deals with close fights if necessary. So, how did I reach the hat idea? The idea came from this comic by Centurii-Chan of Facebook fame (seriously check them out, their art is top tier): 

However, it wouldn’t be practical (or safe for work) to slap a tricorn on him and have him go on his merry way. For clothes, I was stuck for a long, long while. But I remembered an old adage where your gear should compliment your weapons. Thus I looked at the weapons Silas utilized waaaaay back in his earliest form: a lever action rifle and two single action revolvers (inspiration for weapons will be a separate post). After consuming spaghetti westerns, modern westerns (like Django Unchained and The Magnificent Seven remake), and videos of cowboy action shooters, I decided the best fit came in the form of a collared shirt, waistcoat, some pants, and a covert coat. The outer garment had to be long enough to cover his weapons, but not hinder his movement (ala No Capes). Thanks to Duke (the mun of @genocidin​ and numerous other blogs), I settled on having the good hunter from Bloodborne be a faceclaim (and got free icons out of it. Thanks homie OTL).

Personality and Portrayal:

Holy cannoli Batman was Silas’s personality all sorts of cringe in retrospect. Part of me is lowkey glad I pulled the trigger and deleted the old blog to make this one. Granted, lessons had to be learned that hard way, and boy did I learn. When I sat and tried to look for any source in how to portray Silas, it was difficult. I don’t think I fully nailed his character until recently actually….after I bit the bullet for a Disney+ account to watch The Mandalorian. Jon Faverau and his crew more or less put me on the set direction and kicked my ass to fly there in finding how to write Silas.  In The Mandalorian, the main character is very, very good at his job. However, there are numerous instances where he is hurt, where he falls down but still gets back up. That portrayal gives a humanizing side, at least to me. He is capable but also flawed trying to do right by him. 

The biggest takeaway and change is that I wanted that early Clint Eastwood-esque type of gunslinger you see in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly and incorporate what I learned from The Mandalorian. Silas isn’t a showman. He’s a bounty hunter. Fighting, hunting, and killing isn’t a spectacle or a show, but it’s a way of life. However, just because he’s experienced doesn’t mean he should be near invincible, and that was something I wanted to change as I feared that while writing my own OC, I forget that he is also a regular human being. Huntsmen and huntress in RWBY can die. They’re not omnipotent beings. They’re skilled fighters, but they’re also mortal. They have strengths and weaknesses, faults and flaws. They can have moments of happiness, sadness, inspiration and depression all the same.  And I think that’s something I forget to integrate into writing despite having them listed on his profile because I need a muse to tell a story; in turn, as a writer, I would pen it so that the odds would be ever so slightly in his favor. The impact of seeing him succeed beyond struggles is dampened significantly if he is able to waltz through hordes of Grimm, win fights, and get the girl (or girls since this is a multi-ship blog). There’s no character there, but just cookie cutters.

So yeah, thanks for coming to my TEDxTalk.))

*  Roleplay history

The rules are simple! Post ten characters you’d like to roleplay as, have role-played as, and might bring back. Then tag ten people to do the same (if you can’t think of ten characters, just write down however many you can and tag the same amount of people). Aside from that, please repost instead of reblogging!

— CURRENTLY PLAYING.

@wcnderfulrush | Kotori Minami / Love Live! - School Idol Project | Active

@youngbxker | Lillian Elise Marchand | Multiverse OC | Low Activity

@shymaidxn | Diantha / Granblue Fantasy (GBF) | Active

— WANT TO PLAY. 

GBF best friend OCs | Awhile ago a lot of people where making Captain OCs and a few of those types of blogs popped up. I plan on giving Kotori a GBF verse, but I also wanted a multitude of GBF OCs. Maybe as a small crew in of itself, or a small group that joins the Grandcypher; I haven’t decided which yet, nor exactly how many OCs I want to make in this group (there’s at least 3-4 ideas in my head sooo).

Revue Starlight - Relive multimuse | I started playing this game when it first came out (and accidentally put money into it while I was too tired to function, which means I’m keeping it forever now) and I got real interested in some of the characters. Most notably Tamao, Aruru, Hikari, Nana, and recently Junna and Maya have become a bit more interesting to me. I haven’t watched the anime, so I want to watch that first before I make a huge decision / take on so many characters.

Idolmaster multimuse | This is an idea I’ve grappled with for awhile. After I watched the CG anime I loved Uzuki and Kirari, after starting deresute I loved Yuka, Kanna, and Kumiko, after watching SideM and starting msute I loved Shiki, Hayato, Touma, and Saki! If I really got into All Stars / Million Live again, I’d probably be in huge trouble with having too many people;; This right now feels like a lot of muses, but I love them all a lot and would maybe want to try it out?

FGO multimuse | I’ve been lacking in my play towards this game, but I still love some of the characters here! Nero, Da Vinci, Beni-enma, Chiron, Nursery Rhyme, Xuanzang Sanzang, Frankenstein, Nitocris, and the recently added Ganesha are the favs so far, though the blog would probably only start off with Nero, Nursery Rhyme, Fran, and Da Vinci; I need a better understanding of some of them, but some of them won’t come to EN for a bit...

Yuki Yuna / Yuki Yuna is a Hero | A character that I love from my fav magical girl anime! Simple as that lol

Maybe some of the girls from Magia Record when the EN version comes out (though i need to check when that is)

Enstars and A3 are getting animes, so oh dear you never know, I might love them...

A plethora of OCs I might want to make in the future for any reason / any fandom.

— HAVE PLAYED.

Aisling Dempsey | Ghost OC | hiatus ( but maybe collab Lillian book..........one day )

Kathleen O’Conner | Modern OC | erased from existence because she felt real mary sue and her blog gave me anxiety for some reason because of that?

Aya Maryama and Misaki Okusawa | Bang Dream - Girls Band Party | indefinite hiatus ( gonna make their blog one of those multimuses I mentioned; gonna get started on it after Tuesday because that’s when my stats class ends~).

Hanamaru Kunikida | Love Live! Sunshine!! | hiatus because...Aqours rp kind of makes me uncomfy after long-going incidents with a person I used to call my best friend. The rp stuff was on twitter rp and wasn’t directly pointed at me, but I played a small part in it because at first I thought it was just angst threads, but then it turned into...Some real bad jazz, to put it mildly. I love Hanamaru to bits, but I deleted my twitter rp accounts because being reminded of that stuff still gives me anxiety, and even dabbled with deleting her on here but I can’t really bring myself to since nothing happened with this Hanamaru, you know? As such, her blog has just kind of...Rotted in a corner, whoops. I still have all of her icons, so maybe I’ll go back to that blog one day...

Shizuku Osaka | Love Live! - Perfect Dream Project | hiatus because...I keep forgetting she exists gdjcgfhgjv. Took over Kathleen’s whole blog; I did it up and everything, and then I did no threads. Whenever SIFAS or a PDP anime comes out, I may be convinced to go on her blog and actively seek out threads there.

Abel | Lion OC | never had a blog, but literally my first muse on this place ( I rped through anon with this Edward Elric blog I found and popped in with both Abel and Lillian-prototype; that mun and I are friends on twitter and tumbr personals and occasionally strike up conversations still~). A fond memory, but also a tad cringe, but also the mun encouraged my writing and said it was really good, and that helped make the mun I am today~ *fireworks*. I thought about making him kinda like a shapeshifter with a zookeeper job, but as of this post nothing has happened outside of a few ideas.

STOLEN FROM. technically @sappines but this has been sitting in my drafts for so long;; TAGGING. Hey you? You like memes? Then go take this one!

Possible Minor Callout Post

Alright, all you NSFW Roleplayers of Tumblr.

This is my warning to you guys for the sake of your reputations and personal safety, but I have reason to believe that a blog by the name of a-multiverse-of-multimuses is currently run by a minor.

It all started two days ago.

I heard my Tumblr go off and I checked my IMs to see a message from them. The follow-timer informed me that he had been following me for less than 10 minutes.

I read the first half and was like ‘hey cool another RPer’, and momentarily believed them, expecting to see my rules password at the end of the message.

Then I read the other half of the message.

Before I realized, I had vocally released my cringe and frustration and my hands had already typed out ‘are you fucking kidding me’, ready to ream them a new one.

Thankfully, I was in a discord voice chat with @underopenskies . With her help, I compiled a more calm/polite response

this was all I said in response, very easily they could re-read the rules, apologize, and give me the code that is oh-so-obvious to prove they knew where I put my foot down.

Instead. I get a sob story.

I immediately caught on to the ‘sympathy lure’ that they were trying to pull, and I did not reply after this. There has been no communication from him since. though I proceeded to go check their blog to see if they have a chance at redemption.

‘Okay cool, has bios for their muses and a rules page. Let’s have a look at their blog.’

I look at the characters first.

Sexy Tori, Sexy pokemon, Sexy dinosaurs, all pictures drawn by some other artist. I’m already cringing.

I then attempt to locate their rules page.

Except it isn't a page.

it’s a fucking post. that I literally just found while I’m writing this.

Already they have broken their own rules with #2, what isn’t a reblogged furry NSFW picture, is an NSFW roleplay that’s barely been started and already there’s adult material.

so I think, ‘Okay this is setting some red-lights off.’ So. I do what is the most simple, harmless attempt for information.

Pretty to the point, right? No insulting, no demands. Just a simple question that should already be answered on a blog with this material.

I am answered in a completely childish manner.

At this point, I throw politeness to the wind and I send them a reply starting to put more implication on how serious I am.

Having a feeling that I would be blocked and the message deleted, I am choosing to go ahead and warn everyone anyways because I myself am very happy with how I am doing in life, and I would rather not get in trouble for writing with a minor who thinks they’re above the rest.

If at any point in time I am proven otherwise, that AMOM is irrefutably proven of LEGAL age, then I will apologize and delete this post. But until then, Tread carefully my friends, because I do not trust the mun of AMOM to be of legal age.

I am going to go ahead and tag friends to spread the word of warning.

mobile-friendly rules

GENERAL INFO

❔ #getinthefunvee

❔ semi-private:  will generally only write with mutuals, but very happy to meet new people.

❔ exclusivity:  is pre-pubescent and used as a cliquey gatekeeping & ostracising mechanism 99% of the time. I do not practice character or ship exclusivity; I will side-eye you if you do, and I will not tolerate it on my dash, and I will lay the verbal smack-down if I see you using it to bully someone else. I've been playing with some muns for nearly 5 years, and at least one for more than a decade; if anyone was going to be an exclusive, it would be those friends, but exclusivity = possessiveness and it's really, really not the way to roll your adult relationships. Note: if you choose to make me your exclusive Tony for any reason (ie, if you generally hate Tony interaction and want to avoid it, emotional safety reasons, whatever) please give me a heads up. Please be aware that, as stated above, I will not do exclusivity in return.

❔ basic etiquette:  human decency is expected. Do not attempt to god-mod (it's so 90s), force-ship, engage in pass-aggro nastiness, harassment, or any other asshattery. Thanks.

❔  Personals et al are very welcome to follow and 'like' RP posts and to reblog non-RP content. Please don't reblog RP threads you aren't participating in; it's creepy, and I will call you out on it.

❔ multi-muse, side & personal journals:  I will not follow you back if you run a multi-muse blog or RP from your persona that heavily features muses from fandoms I’m not familiar withl; I really need to limit dash clutter in order to be able to focus. (ADD & autism are gr8 that way.) That doesn't mean I won't RP with you on your multi-muse blog, and I'm very happy to RP with side blogs, but I will not RP with personals.

❔ OCs, female characters, obscure canon characters:  This shouldn’t need to be said, but: Yes please! I look for fully-formed characters whose creation you've put thought into; this goes for 'popular' canon characters in equal measure.

❔ crossovers:  Please check with me first to make sure I'm familiar with your fandom.

❔ cut your replies:  Please cut your replies & repost asks as new posts when replying. (note: this is not the same as 'read mores'; I'm happy to explain the difference.) I will not follow you if you never cut your replies.

❔  You must have rules or, at the very least, your age stated somewhere on your blog. I will always read your rules before interacting, and I ask that you please do the same.

ABOUT THIS BLOG

❕  est Dec 2012

❕  21 or over for intermittent content which may not always be tagged; I will generally not play with you if you are under 21 as I may not be comfortable writing certain content [because I'll feel like a dinosaur]. I will not RP with anyone under 18 years old, regardless of thread content or your geographical location's 'legal age.' This is not up for discussion, though I'm happy to explain the legal ramifications (for you and your RP partners around the world) of lying about your age. tl;dr I'm not going to jail so you can have smut. Thanks.

❕ safe space:  This blog is fiercely inclusive. I make a point of avoiding ableist or bigoted language and terminology. Please come talk to me in chat or send an ask and tell me if I screw up. note: If you ever need to talk about anything, or if you're having a really bad day, I'm here for you & wouldn't want you to feel alone. Seriously. Come talk to me. I do have chat set to mutuals only thanks to the huge influx of spam messages I was getting, but you can always unfollow me after we’re done talking (I won’t be upset) or send me an ask if that's easier.

❕ triggers:  I will tag genuine triggers when asked (please don't conflate squicks with triggers). I don't have any triggers, but I prefer not to see child abuse, domestic violence, incest, or pregnancy on my dash; if you regularly include that content, I will generally unfollow. Please see below for a comprehensive list. Triggers will be tagged 'triggery thing tw' and added to the tag dump post.

❕ formatting:  usually no fancier than small text +/- 66x66 or 100x100 icon (depending on the size you use), but I will try to match your style. If you need any special formatting to make it easier for you to read, please tell me. I'm very happy to comply.

❕ pre-established relationships:  I'm happy to discuss these.

❕ readmores:  used rarely, but will always use for explicit dubcon/noncon content & graphic stuff.

❕ memes:  generally mutuals only but will always be tagged as 'mutuals only', so if you don't see that, feel free to interact. I do my best to observe reblog karma but don't expect you to; it's all good.

❕ open posts:  will be tagged clearly; generally open only to mutuals, sometimes character-specific (will specify in tags).

❕ shipping:  multiship; not ship exclusive. Shipping is dependent wholly on muse interaction and never guaranteed. Tony is demiromantic and pansexual; he may or may not be open to poly setups depending on verse. He's experimental, inclusive, and flexible. Got a kink? Bring it. BDSM? He'll want to know your safeword. Three/four/eightway? He's probably into it. That in mind, I'm on the ace spectrum (see below) so mature-content threads aren't going to be that common and will generally, though not always, fade to black.

YES PLEASE

✅  duplicates, multiple 'canon' realities, AUs, cross-fandom, What Ifs

✅  crossovers, especially within Marvel & DC

✅  AUs: love, love, love. Give me your tropey coffee shop AU; better yet, give me your research-worthy Mesopotamian AU, time-travel AU, etc. I'm utter trash for Sentinel!verse (and if you don't know what that is, come at me).

✅  plot-development, complex characterization

✅  conscious, intentional, creative abuse of grammar/syntax

✅  any gender identity/lack thereof; sexual orientation/lack thereof; neurodivergent characters; disabled characters

✅  LGBT, non-cis/het, POC, or other minority versions of canonically white cis straight Christian etc characters

✅  female versions of canonically (cis)male characters

✅  dark, edgy, angsty themes up to and including psychological & physical torture, abuse, and character death

✅  complex and conscientious portrayals of trauma and mental health issues

NO THANKS

❎  self-insertion (omnipotent manic pixie Gary-Stu/Mary-Stu characters make me cringe)

❎  pages of ooc

❎  pages of graphic porn

❎  you RP nothing but smut of a variety that squicks me, such as (below) and don't put it behind readmores: - A/B/O, especially if it involves 'mating'/'breeding', pregnancy (esp cis male or cis female pregnancy), etc. Really major squick; - BDSM that uses an abundance of misogynistic language like 'slut'; 'daddy/mommy' themes; pet play; romanticising unhealthy abusive relationships ('50 Shades of Nope' comes to mind) by framing them as consensual BDSM.

❎  consistent grammar/spelling errors (note: ignore if English isn't your primary language; I’m happy to help if that’s something you want, and I speak a few languages so I might be able to RP in your language)

❎  lots of family/baby/child content

❎  'child of'/'sibling of' & non-canon family member/friend characters

❎  anthropomorphic, furry, or 'real people' characters

❎  SuperWhoLock, anime

❎  gatekeeping, canon-snobbery, constant negativity

❎ erasure of any minority group (ie male versions of canonically female characters; suspiciously white FCs for canonically POC characters, etc)

❎ messianic anything; proselytizing

ABOUT THE MUN

✩  ari (aka kai), 30s, London (GMT)

✩  working in medicine, re-qualifying for med school entry; usually not around much Tue-Fri due to work (replies are sometimes queued & I'm usually happy to do short stuff like texts during the week)

✩  thoroughly spoken for; married to cap.co.vu (but thanks for asking *fingerguns*)

✩  introvert:  very social at times (I tend to 'read' as an extrovert), but I need more distance when out of social energy. Feel free to ask me about this. I will love you forever if you respect the need for space, and will not like you very much if you insta-pounce 10x daily when I've gone quiet.

✩  jewitchy = unrepentantly jewish + low-key hedge witch (observant Reform/Conservative Jew; dash of pagan)

✩  grey-a + demi, greyromantic, as impossibly flirty as Tony Stark

✩  ADD, autism (psa: you can be super direct with me), major depressive disorder, EBS (epidermolysis bullosa), mild anxiety (when out of social energy)

✩  sharp-spoken, sharply-dressed, stickler for punctuation, polyglot, menace to society, method RPer, (mostly) good human being, guaranteed at least 80% carbon-based lifeform, will use elbows on the Tube, well-travelled, great ass (thanks, yoga!), hearts horseback riding, BDSM, dismantling the patriarchy

✩  ask box is always open, Discord available by request, IM/chat is gr8

If you feel like it, send me your favourite trope as a way of letting me know you've read these. I'm not going to ask for any sort of specific symbol, codeword, etc to prove it, but I will presume you have and act accordingly. If you feel compelled to acknowledge any specific parts that jump out at you or query something that doesn't sit right with you, we'll probably be bffs.

[forgemaiar]

everyone sounds sad today so clearly it’s way past time I did one of these

SPONTANEOUS POSITIVITY TIME let me love on you all

@sorrowssinger I have no idea how long ago I followed you but it feels like forever because your blog has that quiet constant presence like idk a monument or something. You want to go and visit just to appreciate the view. I really like your writing (your icons are so cute??) and sometimes I look at your blog just to read your headcanons because they’re really interesting. Can’t remember if we’ve written a thing or not but I want to buT TAKE YOUR TIME AND FEEL BETTER FIRST you can burn yourself out doing anything, even a favorite hobby, too constantly and it’s 1000% okay to take breaks and year long hiatuses to sort out your headspace or even drop muses/threads entirely and move on. People will love your new muses like they were drawn to your first ones and it will be okay.

@shadowedpetrichor An!! you!! are!! such!! a!! cute!! friend!!!! You listen to the music I share with you and let me ramble about random things and when I’m feeling down you come check up on me and share cute cat picture and just. alghsvjkmngk Thank You For Existing. And Yua. Ohhhhhhh man how far he’s come. I love watching him grow and be a dork and he’s clearly got flaws and misconceptions (bEEEEEEES) but he just rolls with it. He’s just so cute and sweet and funny but Clearly Not A Good Guy and I just love him so much. You’re a really kind mun trying to make sure nobody gets forgotten/left out when we do groupchat stuff but be careful not to overload yourself trying to take care of everyone! Take breathers for yourself!

@feralandfair ANOTHER FRIENF fellow artsy dork who lets me cry about trying to shade glass and various drawing hazards and have I ever mentioned how much I like your art?? Talk about expressive pencilwork my god I love it, not to mention I love the diversity you add to your character designs (because let’s face it. the fandom has a bit of a problem with Making Everyone White and it. really annoys me sometimes. so thank.) And your worldbuilding okay is there anything you write that isn’t rich with culture and vibrancy I feel like every post you make is this tiny window into a hugeass world that has just so much in there tell me your headcanons. let me see more. also i swear i’m working on those replies

@lacriimas first of all nIENNA BLOG *clings to tightly* I’m not just following you for what muse you write, though I am excited that there’s an active Valie in our midst. <.<  Heard you’ve been kinda insecure with your writing lately and friend I’m here to tell you, as the student that blew through all the english credits in under two years and then took extra writing classes for shits’n’giggles,  I don’t think you have much to worry about?? Like if you seriously wanted to go through and nitpick everything yeah sure there are a few words you could have done better here and there but you know what? The same is true for my blog. And all the other blogs. It’s the nature of words, and their authors, to fluctuate and change. The rules are wobbly at best and even people we think of as literary masters have bad days where everything seems shitty. Doesn’t mean they suck.

This is gonna get long here but bear with me I promise it’s worth your time (and frankly applies to everyone who feels bad about their writing). When you write as frequently as roleplayers tend to do, you write so much more than you think. Seriously if you had a word count on your blog even if you’ve gone on hiatus frequently you’d still have more than enough to fill an entire book’s worth of pages. And all that practice adds up. We forget sometimes that as our muses and headcanons expand and grow that we as writers are also growing. We really do! And do you know where the change usually shows up first?

Your eyes.

You may look at your writing now and cringe and go oh god it sucks I’m a horrible writer and then reread some old threads and thing, oh gOD i made the same mistakes back then too. This.... isn’t actually because you suck. It’s not! It’s really not. You were perfectly fine with writing those old threads at the time of their creation because that’s where your skill level was, and people loved it even if you think it’s bad now! It’s still good. Your writing didn’t change, your eyes just got better at distinguishing which word patterns sound better.

I’ve been through this more times than I can count, with writing, with art... you name it. It really does get better, and it really does mean you’re improving, not getting worse. It’s a great time to experiment or even take a break. I promise your followers and rp partners will love you just the same. 

Okay that was a lengthy tangent but I meant to mention I like how you format your replies too it’s nice and readable and it makes my inner graphic designer Very Happy.

Anyway i love you all you deserve nice things. *flings glitter*

[consequentson]

random facts about the mun

Repost, not reblog! Tag 6 muns you would like to get to know better when done!

Name: Sarah Nickname: Sela Age: 23 Face-claim: Pam Beesly from The Office

Pronouns: She/her Height: 5′2″ Birthday: April 8th Aesthetic: Big, ratty old sweaters with hoods and kangaroo pockets, thick, fuzzy socks, coffee rings and drips on everything and awkward pieces of hair sticking up out a head of hair pulled into a bun. Last song you listened to: Autumn Tree by Milo Greene

Favourite muse(s) you’ve written: This one right here, Mr Dylan Massett. I also really enjoyed writing my old OC, Leo Alexander, as well as Tom McNair a couple of times. I mean... I’ve enjoyed writing all my muses for sure, but if I had to pick, those’d be top, I think.

What inspired you to take on your current muse (that you are posting this on): Actually, @notimminent followed me on my Leo Alexander account, and I’d been a fan of Bates Motel but hadn’t realized there was any kind of RP community for it till she showed up in my notifications. Leo had bits and pieces of Dylan in him, and when people seemed to get really tired of Leo and writing him just got too depressing, I thought I’d give Dylan a try, since Dylan’s a little less callous, a little easier to get along with, and... here I am.

What are your favourite aspects of your current muse: His heart. I seem to always pick characters who have this incredible ability to love so deeply, even to the point of self destruction, and Dylan’s just the prime example of this character trait that certainly both a strength and flaw.

What’s your biggest inspiration when it comes to writing: Dylan himself just kind’ve speaks to me. It sounds strange, I guess, but whenever I take up a new muse, it’s really like they take up residence in my head if they stick -- they start to have opinions on everything, just constantly sort’ve have their own train of thought -- a little like the cartoon angel and devils on the shoulder, ‘cept instead I’ve got a Dylan in my skull. I guess otherwise, I get a lot of inspiration from the canon material itself, just looking over it in any kind’ve way; whether it’s rewatching, capping, whatever. And then there’s music. I love that bit of a high you can get from listening to a song that gives you feelings about your muse.

Favourite types of threads: Any thread is a good thread to me so long as there’s some kind of chemistry between both the characters and writers -- sometimes that requires more work OOC, like you gotta check if you’re on the same page or something, and that’s fine so long as the writers are open to honest communication. The only thing is that I find ‘slice of life’ or non angsty threads difficult to write lengthily, so I just prefer to keep those ones a little shorter most’ve the time, at least on my end. 

Biggest struggle in regards to your current muse: The lack of Norma’s and Norman’s willing to write (frequently/regularly) with me is 100% my biggest struggle, no doubt about it. I truly hate having to come up with their parts of the narrative without having a mun I’m close with to consult with -- like if I want to come up with an AU, it’s a real struggle for me to think of other canons’ parts that must be included in Dylan’s backgrounds because I’m not comfortable or confident in assuming I’m doing right by other characters... that if the opportunity ever did arise by some miracle that a Norman or Norma wanted to join that verse, they wouldn’t immediately cringe at whatever I’d already established for them. This applies to all Bates canons, really, but mostly Norman and Norma as luckily I do have some Emma’s I get to write with and Dylan’s mom and brother are the other two most important and integral people in his life.

Unpopular Opinions meme

Wow…that’s a lot of flames! Okay, it’s time for Unpopular Opinions - Ultimate RP edition.

- I completely understand multi-muse blogs when they require an interested mun to pick a character when asking for a meme or starter. However, that works both ways. Few things are more irritating during starter calls when multis indicate interest with a like/reblog and do not specify a muse they want me to write a starter for. The only exception is when a multi has one Danganronpa muse in their entire lineup and at that point, I can guess who they likely want a starter for. But multis with multiple Danganronpa muses, crossover muses, or OCs who don’t specify who they want a starter for? Easiest way for me to prioritize you last when creating starters. And no, “just pick one!” is not an answer. Let me at least try to write a starter you want to reply to.

- And while on the topic, people who don’t reply to starters or starter memes. I understand if the mun is otherwise occupied with life (sickness, busy, school, vacation, etc). That’s fine. But when I see you actively replying to other threads, ignoring the starter I have tagged you in (and checked the tag to make sure it works!), I am much less likely to write you something in the future. An average length, 4-6 para starter or reply from me takes around an hour, which for me, is a considerable amount of time. I always include with starters “Let me know if this is ok and if you want anything changed!” and I mean that. If it’s something you just can’t reply to, I’d rather know that and edit or try again accordingly than just have it be ignored.

- I like ships. Ships are fun to write and great when you have a mun you feel comfortable writing romance and/or smut with. However, the trend of “Not to be dramatic but ship with me!” and “Spare a ship? I need ships!” is just cringe. No matter what muse I’ve played and what ships, in theory, I could see working for them, the prospect of shipping is far more determined on platonic interactions that could possibly turn romantic and if the other mun and I are compatible writers (length, character portrayal, turnaround time, pacing, etc) than trying to craft a thread with the intention of our muses falling in love. It’s why I’ll likely consider shipping possibilities but never insist that I need ships to have a fun RP experience.

- I see ask blogs/one-liner blogs and RP blogs as two separate entities. Neither are wrong in how they want to portray their muses, but I’m going to gravitate to RP blogs who at least do a single para (or preferably more) for interaction than one-liner blogs. It’s just not a style I like (beyond dashcomm or crack) or that works for me, and I’m far more comfortable with dashboard silliness if we’re threading or have threaded in the past with multi-para responses.

- When I’m checking out new people to follow, a mun’s writing will win me over every. damn. time. You can be a sideblog, a basic theme blog, zero icons, zero aesthetic tags, and/or zero fancy formatting, but if your writing is solid and you’re writing muses I think mine can interact with? I’m following. On the other hand, if you have a fancy theme, icons, and tags and mostly fill your blog with aesthetic posts and memes without much real IC interaction, I’m far less interested.

- I’m less likely to follow blogs with under 18 muns not only due to the fact that I write smut with muns of age and I don’t want minors interacting with that, but the fact that I likely have different amounts (that is, less) of free time than younger writers and just can’t reply as quickly as I’ve often seen them do and expect I do as well. I’m old (as far as the tumblr RPC and especially the tumblr anime RPC goes) with a full time, very demanding job, other hobbies, and a rapidly changing personal life as I navigate getting married in the next few years. And while I hope muns can understand when I need to take it slow for replies and new threads, I don’t expect anyone to do so, especially if those are life experiences they just haven’t experienced (yet?). So, I usually find that I have a better mun rapport with other busy muns, whether it’s work or school.

- The quickest way for me to not want to write with you in general? It’s not one-liners or not specifying a muse. It’s when a mun insists on forcing a romantic and/or sexual ship on me that I know my muse will not care for. For Sonia specifically, that pretty much deserves its own thread of why my ship headcanons and preferences for her are the way they are, but regardless of the muse I’m writing for, forced ships are. the. WORST. I will not hesitate to drop a thread and not actively try to write with a mun in general if this happens.
