#via vague blog or meme if you’d like

[readwing]

It has occurred to me that aside from off-handed tags, vague references, and the occasional poll result that I don’t really share-share stuff about me online.

So allow me to break that streak for a moment to gush about my job:

I am, without being too specific, a Fancy Data Accountant. Let me explain.

I am not a CPA and I did not go to school for this, but I did take a variety of loosely related classes when I was in college. These classes + the slow grind of being An Employee During the Recession + a general thirst for knowledge + good organizational skills = a solid understanding of business fundamentals and a willingness to learn Accounts Receivable (A/R) and Accounts Payable (A/P) without fucking it up.

If any of you younguns don’t know - A/R and A/P are positions that are always in desperate need of smart people willing to learn. If you add to this even a basic knowledge of General Ledger accounting then congratulations you are 95% more competent than most of the people currently doing that job. The reason for this being that for small businesses, it’s usually a filler job. It’s usually passed on to like, whoever seems to have the most time leftover to do it.

Receptionists and owner’s wives. Lots of times it’s those people. And lots of times, they do not want to being doing that job either.

And since accountants tend to want to actually make good money and pay off their degrees, they also do not want those jobs! They’re mostly decently paying jobs, higher than entry level for sure, but they’re not CPA-paying jobs.

So there ends up being a knowledge gap between the people who are inputting all the financial data and the actual accountants who really really would prefer it if the data was better organized. Accountant and Tax Prep people, in fact, tend to need this so much that they sometimes hire people to work for them internally who can help business owners pretty things up so the data is fucking usable.

Enter me.

So I bounce around for a bit doing my thing - which is Easy, it’s so Easy that the only challenge I get is coming into a Messed Up set of books and fixing it. But then at a certain point…they are fixed. So what now?

Well my what now was ‘you know, this business (that I was working for at the time) has a stupid amount of manual input data. Not only that, but the data that’s being input is only a fraction of what we could be using to analyze and make decisions, and that’s because the industry relies on third party software for its A/R but a completely different software for its A/P. Since the two don’t talk to each other, we’re stuck relying on truncated reports out of our A/R that are somehow both watered down and crowded with unnecessary noise. No bueno!’

So bored little me signed up for a free library class on coding. I’m kind of shit at it, but that’s okay because that was the first time in my life I actually understood what syntax was in programming.

By the end of the class what I realized was that while I was too lazy to ever properly code something, it didn’t matter. What I really needed to know was:

1) what raw data I had available from System A

2) what the simplest, bare minimum amount of functions / formulas I needed to manipulate that data-

3) -so that I could then package it and download it into System B, preferably with minimal typing!

So that’s what I did. That was my new challenge. When I had a free moment at work - and boy did I find lots of those - I would play around with my little spreadsheets and these clunky programs. There needed to be checks and balances, you see. Whatever the output numbers said had to equal the new input numbers, or the accounting would be off. If Karen down the hall accidentally fat-thumbed in a new product or department, I needed it to 1) not break the formulas, and 2) be easily identified as an anomaly. Whatever happened between export/import needed to be cleaned, checked, and verified for the integrity of both systems.

So that’s what I built. Between doing my job and browsing Reddit at work. I built this whole system that would take this very boring part of my job and make it easy.

And yeah the place I worked for sucked, and I had plenty of issues happening personally, but this I was good at!

And the results kind of made me look like a god, which is always nice. And it got me a raise.

The pay bump was almost worth the mind-numbing boredom of the variety of other tasks I usually had to do to get to the fun bit. Almost.

Then last year in a moment of fed-up-ness I applied for a slew of jobs. Just slinging rezzies into the void on Indeed like a pizza maker flinging ‘za. Mostly for the same positions, just with better perks and pay. I wasn’t hoping for much. One of them called me back. Scheduled an interview. Did the interview. The next morning I had a job offer.

Y’all. I lucked in so fucking hard.

Not only were their books a mess, not only were they running a separate A/R and A/P system PLUS ANOTHER TWO INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC SOFTWARES, but they were actually excited to hear my ideas on how to fix it.

(And they were fucking soluble as all get out, which was a first for me.)

They were so excited, in fact, that it’s gone from being maybe 15% of my job to being about 80-90% of my job to just slowly fix and maintain everything they’ve got going on. Why the investment on their side? Because they’re looking to enter a potential partnership with X-number of other companies, all of whom have messy books that I could potentially end up fixing. Also the company has just started to open up a new location. Also the main owners are looking to start X-number of ancillary companies spinning out of the current one. All of these companies, of course, will have slews of data that need analyzed, with multiple Point-of-Sales systems that need to talk to each other, and good gosh golly, they know just the kind of person who likes to do that kind of shit now don’t they?

Then there’s little old me, sitting at my computer with my chunky spreadsheets and my limited amount of Visual Basic, somehow producing goddamn magic. Because programmers don’t understand generally accepted accounting practices, and accountants care even less about best data practices and management.

I have somehow waded through mires of bad decisions and late stage capitalism to find myself an oasis. I feel like I have somehow tricked the people around me into paying me good money to let me have fun at work. This in spite of the fact that I know that no one can do or even wants my job. Even AI can’t touch me, because that would require the robot be capable of standing up and asking a room full of otherwise intelligent people ‘what the fuck is this? Why did you enter it this way. Yes, I know it was easier for you and yes it’s technically accurate but you are going to accidentally break the law if we leave it like this Kenneth’

I am a cog, yes; but I am a well-paid cog, who gets to learn and feel challenged and buy ridiculous toys for my cats and fund Patreons now. And books. And sushi. And paints. I even splurged on a gym membership.

And y’all - it’s nice. It’s really really nice. And I really hope it keeps going like this, ‘cause I’m really happy with how things are going.

Independent RP for Argenti of HoYoverses's Honkai: Star Rail. Multiverse, multiship, mutuals-only. Written by Mysty. 33, EST, she/her or they/them.

Rules:

Argenti is definitely older than of-age. I’m comfortable with RPing NSFW things like sex, and anything too graphic will be under a read-more and tagged as “nsfw ///”.

I’m mutuals-only, which means all starter calls and IC memes are only for people I’m following back. It might take me a few days to follow someone back if I am busy with other things or Tumblr doesn’t notify me, so if you just followed me, you’re welcome to send something. But if I don’t answer it or follow back, that does mean I’m not interested. Non-mutuals trying to interact with me repeatedly will be blocked.

I’m open to other fandoms and OCs. If I don’t already know the mun of the OC, I would like at least a basic about page so I know what I’m getting into.

I generally won’t follow if I find the person’s writing is consistently full of grammar/spelling/word choice/tense errors.  I swear I’m not being a snob, but I have a hard enough time processing things in the first place sometimes, and I’ve found having to take the extra effort to parse what someone with a lot of errors is saying just sucks the fun out of writing with them.

I generally keep anon on for my ask box, but I will turn it off if I feel it’s being abused.

I’m mobile a lot. I work forty hours a week and only have a desktop for a computer, so often I’ll be replying to things on my phone while I’m out and about or I won’t feel like sitting at my desk so you’ll get me on my iPad. This means I won’t be able to cut posts. I’ll always label posts as “mobile” when I am mobile.

I keep drama off my blog. If you’d like to talk to me about something, you can do so in private via Tumblr IMs or if you have my Discord. But I will not talk about drama, vague post, or reblog call-outs for any reason. If I see someone is doing this a lot, I won’t follow or might unfollow.

I’m up for shipping! Feel free to ask me about it.

That said, if I find you tend to just ship with every version of Argenti you come across, I’m probably going to say no or you’ll be low on my priority list. I’m not really comfortable feeling like I’m some sort of collectible when I’ve put so much thought and effort into his development.

My Discord is available to mutuals.

userboxes! i make them

i will make userboxes for various mcyt fandoms, largely centered on hermitcraft and the third/last/double life series. i may also occasionally branch out into other non-mcyt fandoms if the mood strikes.

i’ll gladly make userboxes for your own minecraft worlds/builds/servers/characters/etc, so long as you provide images! see the tag darkwoods smp for more examples of this. [currently under construction]

i will not make userboxes for any serious, controversial, or just deeply personal topics. the closest i may get will be satirical userboxes about dumb fandom shit, but i will only make those for my own amusement and not by request. on that note, this blog will contain instances of hermitshipping/trafficshipping, which i’ll tag appropriately if you’d like to filter those posts out.

userboxes are free to use! credit is highly appreciated—if a userbox has fanart in it please link back to my post that includes specific credit to the artist.

i accept requests sent via askbox or submission! (this may change at a later date as i figure out the most convenient manner of managing requests) i'll tag users in the post when i finish their requests; let me know if you wish to remain anonymous instead, or if you have a sideblog you want tagged on your userbox request.

also check the tag “housekeeping” for FAQ and/or other guidelines, notes, etc about how this blog is run! also still under construction this is a hurried “i gotta leave for work soon” edit so i don’t forget LOL

to request a userbox, send me:

the text you want on the box (i may have to make slight adjustments to fit if it’s on the longer side—if it’s important to you that you get exact wording for a longer string of text let me know)

the image or kind of image you want on the box (i.e. either sending the image you want directly, or something along the lines of “i want a minecraft screenshot” “i want a png of their minecraft skin staring directly at the camera” “i want fanart used here.” i highly appreciate being given images to work with! it makes the whole process significantly faster and makes your request likely to go through sooner. if it’s fanart, though, please source it so i can check artist permissions)

the color you want used for the background/border (can be vague as just “pink” or specific as “this exact hex code”)

tag directory under the cut

[this section still heavily under construction]

note that tags on this blog are made for organizational purposes while also trying to avoid clogging up the actual tags used in fandom spaces. (hopefully. i’m not an expert on how this site works.) however, some userboxes may still be tagged with main fandom tags, if i feel like the post is generally-applicable or relevant enough, or if needed for potential filtering purposes such as fandom memes, shipping content, etc.

blog stuff:

#userbox

#not userbox

@theimpalpable | be honest meme

11. What do you know now about rp that you wish you knew when you first started?

SO MANY THINGS. Okay, first, how to set up a proper rules/guidelines page that actually expresses what I’d like to express. The truth about krp and anything like it. How to properly approach people for plotting and/or writing without dying over it. To follow, unfollow, soft-block as  I feel most comfortable, to simply interact or not interact with people as I feel is best for me. How to write proper about pages and biographies in general. I’m someone who would love to know, whenever starting something new and especially if it involves other people (who could witness me fai-), everything I need to know from the get-go. I’ve been working on my philosophy here and accept that I will make mistakes, even if I’ve been doing something for a long time, and that it’s okay even if people see it, but I really just wish I could do it Right from the first moment on.

14. Do you think rp has had a positive or a negative effect on your life or you as a person?

Most likely both. It used to take up a bit too much of my time when I first started out, I remember that as a tween I would hyperfocus on it and everything I could do on Tumblr in general and lost sight of other things (in my defense, I was fking up a lot back then, which doesn’t work as a defense), so that was definitely negative. I’ve had some weird situations that affected me negatively, some folks I met that I didn’t handle well or who weren’t Top Notch, but I feel, it’s also given me lots of opportunities to grow? And explore things and meet people I adore (-holds up a mirror to you-) and work on myself as a writer and story-teller and YOU KNOW! I guess, like with plenty of things, it’s a mixture of both~

15. How has rp changed you personally?

Answered! :3 But to summarise, it has allowed me to grow as a person in plenty of senses of the word, in self-respect and in being in tune with myself and as a writer and fan of anything that can be considered storytelling, I feel more open-minded, down-to-earth, I feel more eloquent and less likely to let someone else walk all over me, I feel... more mature, in a way. Thanks to experiences I was allowed to make via rping.

26. How do you feel about vague posting?

I don’t agree with it. Passive-aggression is one of the things I can confidently say I truly despise, if you have something to say, no matter whether you or whomever is in the right or wrong, then please just say it and say it to them. It is your situation, not anybody else’s. Do you feel as though you need help? Reach out, please. Vague posting is useless and the only thing it does is create beef and negavitity, you never achieve anything by vague posting, other than making things worse, hurting feelings (your own included) and creating painful situations. Please just...? Talk things out. With them. Or don’t, and leave the situation. I know it may sound like I’m making things easier than they actually are I just don’t think that vague posting is the solution. Not to mention, you risk a lot more backlash from a lot more people than the one person you might actually be having trouble with.

38. What advice would you give to someone new to rp?

Be mindful of others and explore the stories you want to explore. Allow yourself to start out small and don’t feel as though you have to chase after others or agree to things just so someone will write with you. People will want to write with you, never neglect yourself to achieve that, it will happen. You wil grow as a writer because every word you write is a new experience and knowledge and skill will come with time, so keep going at it. Use as many adverbs as you like, throw commas where you want to throw them, paint the pictures you’d like to see. Be mindful of triggers and how hard your blog might be on the eyes. Do not ever compromise your character for someone who is making it clear that they won’t want them unless they meet their expectations. If you change something, do it because you felt like it. Do it in an au. Unless you hurt someone, no one is allowed to tell you to change anything. And don’t care about graphics, fuck about as you wish. Your stories matter, your characters matter, you matter, no one gets to treat you as if you don’t and I’m looking forward to writing with you. Remember, also, that if you want to rp online, here on this hellsite, have a support system, have people who will help you figure things out, who will help you avoid situations that will harm you, have friends. And don’t join too young. There is time and I respect you, your age doesn’t make you less anything, but it is dangerous, you might not know things yet, or you might make people who will want to take advantage of you. Be careful, have a support system you trust (in or outside) and run if something makes you uncomfortable. You can always leave. 

[iinfortunii]

rules: code of conduct.

BEGIN.

Before we start, I would like you to have certain things in mind when approaching me ooc. I am very shy and quite awkward, which results in me not being much of a talker; however, I will always try my best to be friendly to whoever wants to approach. I dislike pet names so please do not use them with me unless we are very close. There will be times when I'm just exhausted, so my wording could sound rude/aggressive, to which I apologize in advance -I never mean to hurt people’s feelings. I also reserve the right to interact with WHOEVER I want, and pestering me about it will only get you blocked.

Updates will be made as required.

I. BASIC.

A. This blog is: Selective / Independent / Canon Divergent / NSFW / Mutuals only / Singleship / Mostly iconless / Multiverse / AU, Crossover, OC, and Multimuse friendly / Vaguely affiliated with the OP RP fandom.

B. I am a very slow rper for many reasons —school, family, my ever-fluctuating mood —and I would appreciate it if you refrained from pestering me for replies. In return I offer as much patience as necessary. Think of this blog as low activity please.

C. English is not my mother language so I apologize in advance for any mistakes made.

D. I track the tag #iinfortunii, although mentioning me works just as fine.

E. Constructive criticism is always welcome but anon hate will be immediately deleted. I have no problems if you disagree with my portrayal, but it doesn't give you the right to harass me.

F. Mun and muse are both over 18, so there are chances that heavy content will be present; however I won't be writing smut. I can roleplay anything before or after the act if requested, but the moment things get far too explicit, I'll do a fade-to-black. I ask of you to not lie about your age or else you’ll be blocked indefinitely.

G. This is a heavily headcanon-based blog, and changes are likely to be made as more information is revealed about him, though I reserve the right to adjust the new information according to my interpretation of Deuce or simply ignore it, which is why I’m canon divergent.

H. If you'd like to turn an ask into a thread, you can turn it into a new post, or reblog from me, as I won't be using the Tumblr asks anymore due to the problems that come with formatting and such.

I. Ask box is open for everyone ic or ooc, but you aren't allowed to turn it into a thread and nor I will reply to it if we’re not mutuals. Please don't push me, because I won't hesitate to block.

J. No godmoding —only a minor is allowed if it moves a thread forward ��or metagaming, please. Don't kill Deuce either, unless plotted beforehand, and most importantly, don't hold your muse back.

K. Discord is available for mutuals upon request.

L. Just because I write something it does not mean I condone it. Please have this in mind and again, do not pester me about it. Any and all nsfw matters will be tagged accordingly. There will be triggering topics present, and you can know more about this on the section below.

M. DO NOT involve me in drama or call-out posts. I’m heavily against both things. On this note, you’ll never see me rebloging a call-out post. This culture is so damaging and toxic, and I firmly believe no one should play the role of the judge for the good of the community just because you had issues with someone or don’t agree with the things they roleplay. Talk things privately, be mature about it, hard-block the person and move on. I am also very aware that a lot of people have done things that can’t be excused, but I like to believe that people can change for the better. If you try to drag me into it, I'll hard block any and all people involved indefinitely.

II. TRIGGERS.

A. They will be tagged as trigger tw, trigger / and trigger cw.

B. I do my best to stay up to date with my mutuals triggers. Your comfort is way more important to me than you might think, so never be hesitant to approach me via IM, (anonymous) ask or stop following me.

C. Triggers that are likely to appear, although some more than others: violence || blood || death || drugs || abuse || knives || body image || medical equipment || suggestive content || etc

D. I have no triggers, so you are free to go wild with your content. I only ask you remember to tag your nsfw (both written and visual), please.

III. INTERACTIONS.

A. Deuce won't like everyone. He might/will make wrong assumptions about your character. He will insult and bite back. He won't always be nice to those he likes. He does many things that serve his interests. You, as the mun, have no reason to take it personal, because I'm won't follow someone I don't like; if you DO take it personal however, and decide to rouse drama, then I'll be hard-blocking you. Goes for me as well —I have no reason to get angry for any of the things noted above.

B. My bonds page displays the relationships that have been built over time, not necessarily through interaction alone but over plotting as well. Refer to it for more information.

C. Interactions with OCs related to canon characters will only take place as long as said OCs have a detailed about page. Personally, I'm not interested in the idea of an OC being blood-related to my portrayal, so I apologize in advance.

D. Formatting isn’t a big thing across my blogs, save for the small text. Please don’t mix either sup/sub with small text when writing with me, as I have eyesight problems. Don’t use colored text either.

E. Non-romantic pre-established relationships are allowed! Just make sure to talk it out with me first, yeah?

01. Spade / Whitebeard pirates (canon and original characters alike that i am MUTUALS with) will have a pre-established relationship as long as the other mun is comfortable with such idea, though that relationship will be limited to merely crewmates, unless discussed otherwise.

F. You don’t need to match my writing length as long as I’m given enough to work with. If something about my reply bothers or doesn’t work with you, let me know and I’ll re-work it.

G. I really enjoy plotting scenarios or talking out about the relationships my muse could have with other muses, so hit me up if you’ve got any ideas! I’ll try to do the same!

H. Mun does not equal muse, so don’t go assuming I’m a jerk simply because Deuce is an asshole from time to time. I’m set on the idea that I’ll give people the same treatment they give me —which is always nice and kind. Kudos to everyone for this ♡

I. I don’t use a threadtracker because I rely on my memory (terrible mistake, I know), but I try to draft people’s replies as soon as I see them. If by any reason it seems like I lost it, then please let me know / send me a link with it and I’ll be deeply grateful.

J. I don’t do nor reply to greetings starters for matters of my own comfort, so I ask of you to never expect a starter or a reply from them.

IV. SHIPPING.

A. Singleship, with the spot taken by daadzi, which means Deuce is no longer open for romantic relationships.

01. Under no circumstances, I will accept more romantic relationships once the spot is taken. That being said, I won’t discourage your muse from falling for / hitting on him, although I ask you to understand he will never respond with the same interest or will never react gently if he’s pushed too far.

02. If my shipping partner is comfortable enough, I'll interact with duplicates with the condition that the relationship is strictly platonic.

B. Constant interaction, mutual interest, and chemistry are a must for the sake of better communication (both ic and ooc, preferably).

C. Please do not approach me if you wish our characters to have either a: one night stand or friends with benefits type of relationships. It won’t work out due to the nature of Deuce’s personality, and for that I apologize.

E. My ship has its own tag so you're free to block it if you don't want to see it on your dashboard. In addition, I'll also tag those posts with only the ship name for this very purpose.

F. Please do not force ships on me.

V. CELEBRATIONS.

A. First off, I am absolutely terrible at keeping up with dates, and to be frank, I am not the biggest fan of celebrating, which is why I think it’s necessary to say I won’t be partaking in any holidays, not even Deuce’s birthday (not that he has one, to begin with). Obviously I will still reply to any gifts received, and will send out things in return —you know, common courtesy.

B. I won't be sending out birthday gifts every year, and I might write drabbles for people once in a blue moon; it doesn’t mean they will be done for the specific date though, so please be patient.

VI. REASONS TO NOT FOLLOW BACK / UNFOLLOW.

A. Too much drama / call-outs / vague posts / sexual content.

B. Content makes me uncomfortable.

C. You are a personal blog without a visible rp sideblog. Please make sure it's easy to find.

D. You do not have a proper tag system.

E. Your blog doesn’t have a rules and about pages.

F. You lack the manners to deal with people respectfully.

G. I have no interest / lost interest.

H. I'm constantly / only used as a meme archive.

I. Other reasons may apply. I will soft block so we can both cease following each other and avoid any potential awkward situations. I won’t make a fuss if you decide to unfollow so I expect the same courtesy.

VII. ABOUT BEATRICE.

She is not a real person. Her concept as Deuce’s (toxic) pseudolover is my creation and was somewhat inspired from the real life Beatrice Portinari. Do have in mind that Deuce doesn’t talk about her so your muse can’t simply approach him and ask about her unless they can go through his memories / read his mind / any capability alike or he speaks about her, though it won't take a genius to figure out that she's a product of his imagination.

You can read about her by clicking here -link to be added.

She serves as a lie to shield himself from the internalized homophobia he deals with up until meeting Ace.

NOTE: As stated previously, Mun =/= muse, but I too have been dealing with compulsory heterosexuality for far too long, so I'd like to apologize in advance for projecting a bit of that into my portrayal. I'll work so that this part makes sense with what we've been given from Ace's novel.

VIII. MISCELLANEOUS.

A. I will never force people to follow me, so if by any reason you have to unfollow/block me, please go ahead. Your comfort matters and have every right to do what you must to ensure your wellbeing. With that said, I will not tolerate and will immediately hard block if you try to police my content.

B. I do not follow back immediately, and it can take me from a few hours to several days to follow back. Do not take it personally if I choose not to.

C. If I follow it’s because I am interested in interacting. I only ask you to be patient because it might take me a while to gather the courage to send something to your inbox or talk to you.

D. I have. ZERO knowledge about medicine. Don’t expect me to go full force and try to be 100% accurate, because I won’t.

E. I practice reblog karma (send a meme to someone if I’m rebloging it from them). If you see something you’d like to reblog but have no intention in sending something yourself, then please reblog from the source.

IX. FINISH.

Thank you for taking the time to read this! As you might have noticed, there’s no password to send. Make sure to check the psa tag for any updates, or don’t hesitate to send an ask if there’s anything unclear! I do my best so as not to post too much OOC posts, but sometimes it just happens. If it's nothing important, then I'll erase it whenever I have the chance/remember.

Keanu Reeves vc: You’re all breathtaking!

[starsmuserainbow]

So! I’m giving it another try.

This here is an “interaction call” of sorts, but not as simple as the usual starter call you might know. I have multiple reasons for making this a different kind of call, but this post will get too long if I list them in here.

What you have to do is rather simple:

Comment/reply with the name of which of my muses (or URL if you prefer) you’d like to do something with, and add what you want. If you’re asking for a sideblog of yours or have multiple muses, please add for what/whom it is intended too (meaning the URL of your sideblog and/or your muse’s name). “Like” this post as much as you want, it will not, I repeat will not, lead to any attempt from my side at approaching you, as you clearly didn’t bother to read the post then. I will also not reach out to people that don’t even follow me (if you start following me and please read my rules/about if you do that is different) since you have found me via tumblr search or something and that isn’t really the point of this thing.

The options are, for the muses/blogs:

Starfire, @starfirechan​

Blackfire, @queenofthegalaxxy​

Wildfire, @tamaraneanpacifist​

Galfore, @royalcaretaker​ (he’s still in a testing-phase though).

The options for what kind of interaction you could ask me for (that I can think of) can be asking me to:

Make a starter for you (for non-mutuals this might lead to IMs first)*²

IM you for plotting*

Go through your meme list and send you one²³

Go through your open starters and reply to one²³

Go through your wishlist and choose one thing to then discuss doing it with you²³

Have me write something about our muses or how I imagine a certain situation would go (please specify)*

And for anything else that you might want - mention it and I’ll IM you, or simply do the first step via IM!

There’s obviously also always the option for you to send me memes, reply to my opens or react to my wishlist on any of my blogs (not all of this exists on Galfore yet though), if you’d rather have the choice of the situation!

And please remember that Starfire is my mainblog, whereas all the other three are sideblogs of it!

--------------------

*: For non-mutuals, these might end up being rather vague or rough on my end if I don’t know enough about your muse or how to get an interaction going

²: If I can’t find a fitting one, I’ll IM you to begin some sort of other interaction instead

³: This will not happen if your blog has autoplay, as it slows my computer and I mute the tab anyway, and I’m not interested in searching through pages when there’s autoplay

And if you wonder where the “1” is: My keyboard has easy-to-make options for the ² and ³, but not for the 1, and I’m too lazy to search for the way to make tiny high letters or numbers when I have enough for what I need already available.

You can ask for multiple things, but if we have not interacted so far, chances are I’d rather start one thing first before making multiple threads and risking to end up not meshing well and dropping all of them.

Also: I’m mostly doing this because I want more stuff on my sideblogs. So if I feel too overwhelmed by what people want from Star, I might stop doing the things asked for from Star. I’ll obviously try to not let it come to that, but I can’t really predict the situation yet.

RULES

the blog:

here you will find my rules; please make sure you read them. should any doubts arise, don’t hesitate to hmu and ask about them.

I.  this is an independent multifandom multimuse roleplaying blog for various muses from many franchises. as stated pretty much everywhere in this blog, my interpretation of my muses is mine alone; although i try to keep it as close to the canon source material as i possibly can, there will be cases in which i will diverge from it &&  take a whole new turn with the characters, hence why it is mandatory that you read each file.

     I.I.  please, do not reblog my headcanons/solos/metas. as much as i love seeing how people might like them, they are not for public use.      I.II.  i simply love duplicates ! i try to consider them as friends, however i will never push an interaction with someone; that being said, if you are a duplicate of any of my characters, let me know if you are down to interact with my version of the character, the possibilities are endless and i cannot wait to interact with you.

II. the standard roleplaying etiquette applies to this blog — basically? don’t be a jerk. hate, godmodding, forced ships, ooc drama and other shit like that are highly frowned upon here. 

    II.I. i acknowledge that i may write dark/toxic topics every now and then, and i try my best to do so as respectfully as i can. please, if something ( anything ) on my blog triggers you/disgusts you/annoys you/makes you uncomfortable let me know and i will create a special tag so you can easily block it.     II.II. i have received hate for writing fictional things that are deemed as dark and i will not stand for it any longer. i am extremely shy but  i will always  prefer to talk in private rather than vague post about someone, it is only fair i receive the same courtesy.

the mun: 

you can call me nox, short for noxtromun. i used to go by another pen name that i no longer feel it suits me. although i was born ( and usually identify myself as ) female, i prefer they/them pronouns. i have been roleplaying for over 7 years and as of now i am in my early 20s and live on the countryside of brazil. that being said, if you are a fellow brazilian/portuguese speaker and want to write in portuguese with me, hmu --- i will be delighted.

III.  be aware that  usually do not interact too much oocly  — i’m a mun with social anxiety and it’s really hard for me to connect with people, no matter how much i want to, both irl and online. if, for whatever reason you might have, you want to know more about the queer behind this blog, please check my author’s note page.

   III.I. also, for personal reasons that i’d rather not say, certain plots i will only roleplay with close friends of mine; people i trust and that i care for. the point is, all you need to know about me, check the mun page.

IV. i try to tag everything — really. triggering themes WILL be found here and shall be tagges as “ tw; triggering example” and nsfw will be tagged as “ nsfw ” so you can easily blacklist these tags and not see them. if you’d like me to tag smth for you, feel free to approach me via IMs or ASK.

V. unless asked otherwise, all asks will be published. if you’re messaging me for plots, i encourage you to do so via IMs.

shipping && smut: 

as most people here, i too enjoy some shipping and, occasionally, smut. if you are interested in shipping with me please, respect these rules and be honest, contrary to most people i do not mind if someone approaches me for  a ship; just keep in mind some character development will be necessary.

VI.  i am a ship hoarder— HONESTLY ! but that doesn’t mean this blog focuses only on that. chemistry is your best friend.     VI. I. most of my muses are either bi or pan  — ‘boundaries’ of gender are nothing here       VI. I.II.  however, when a charater is listed as gay/lesbian or straight, please respect that. do not push a ship on me.        VI. I.III. although most muses are of age, some are not and therefore shipping will most likely to happen in their older verses — that are in fact my default ones so yeah.   VI. II. if you want to ship our muses, please, don’t hesitate to ask. i probably want too.       VI. II.I.  feel free to send me a shippy meme — even if we haven’t written before. i love memes, do send them. 

VII. if you feel uncomfortable/troubled with fictional  incestuous /  consanguinamory / toxic and/or unhealthy ships then this might not the right blog for you.    VII. I. i acknowledge that by writing such relationships i may trigger some people, so here’s your warning. LET IT BE KNOWN that i, by NO MEANS condone such things irl  — i just am an adult that is very capable of separating fiction from reality.     VII. I.II.  as a general rule of this blog, i encourage you to unfollow/block me if whatever fictional work here offends you; basically, IF YOU DON’T LIKE A CERTAIN CONTENT, DO NOT CONSUME IT. 

VIII. it should go without saying but no, NO SMUT WILL BE ROLEPLAYED WITH MUNS / MUSES THAT ARE UNDERAGE. pls, don’t lie about your age, i’ll be mad af.   VIII. I. no, there are NO exceptions of this rule.

interactions, formatting edits && speed:

as most of you, i have a life outside this hellsite. that being said, do not expect me to be around everyday,all day, 24/7. roleplay is a hobbie, not a job or an obligation, keep this in mind.

IX. i am SUPER friendly — honestly. i’m just too shy. please, don’t ever feel anxious before approaching me ( ic or ooc ) interacting with me is easy ; i’m here to have fuN.   IX. I.  yes, if you’re an oc i’ll rp with you, i love ocs / mumus / female muses. come @ me and lemme love you ; but only if you provide enough information about your muse/s.   IX. II.   i don’t care much about formatting - all i do is lowercase, small font and icons i made - but if you do, fine! as long as i can read it, i’m cool with anything.

X. i am an extremely SLOW REPLIER; i’m sorry, but i promise i’ll be on as much as i can. i’ll never pressure you to reply and expect you to return the favour. if i ever need to drop a thread, i’ll IM you. every now and then, i like to make edits and sometimes i am not in the mood for writing.

extras:

i make my own icons, using the lovely psds of @kingsleigh and border. some of my edits are ok to reblog, others are not, i will always let you know if thats the case.

9 Social Media Branding Strategies That Never Miss the Mark

 source 

With the introduction of the first social media platform in the ’90s, the entire communicational infrastructure of the world changed. Within the blink of an eye, the world has transformed into a global metropolis reliant on social media and communication. 

However, human relationships aren’t the only phenomenon impacted by social media platforms.

Marketing your brand on social media is now the holy grail to catapult your business into success, and allows business owners to cater to a more large and diverse audience.  

On the contrary, marketing a brand on social media is easier said than done. With more than a billion brands platforms such as Facebook and Instagram for advertising themselves, the realms of social media marketing are more competitive than ever.  Hence, using an effective branding strategy is essential. 

  Some Social Media Branding Strategies That Never Miss The Mark

According to Adobe’s State of Digital Advertising 2018 report, 50% of youngsters (18- and 19-year-olds) and 42% of millennials (20- to 36-year-olds) think social media is the most relevant channel for ads. Keeping this in mind, some factors that’ll make your adverts more appealing include:  

  1. Uniqueness

When it comes to branding, there must be no compromise on the originality, exclusivity, and creativity of the ad/content. 

Simply put, originality is key. Try to base your adverts around content that instantly clicks with the audience. Moreover, visual enticement plays the most crucial role to make an endorsement unique. 

For enhancing the visual effects of a brand, creating a coherent color palette across all social media platforms is vital. Try to be cautious about the fact that every social media account you use should represent one color. For inspiration, you could go on to the social media accounts of any reputable organization and take some tips on creating a monotony across your social media accounts.  

  2. Create an expressive Logo

The second important factor is creating an impactful logo. It would be best if you make sure that you have a logo that you apply on your every social account.  

As a brand, your logo should directly reflect on your organization. Moreover, the design of the logo should stick with your customers, and propagate your brand’s image as well. More often than not, companies turn to professional logo design services, which help you design the best logo suited to your needs. 

  3. The right app

To rule the world of social media, it is also vital that you know which action to trigger for the result you desire. For example, if you were to post your job application on Snapchat, the only thing you’d be offered would be extensive meme compilations. If you wanted legitimate job offers, the right app for you would be LinkedIn.  

However, the lines between posting about a product on multiple social media platforms can be vague, sometimes. Before choosing the platform, try to perform a detailed analysis of the product you’re advertising.  

An important fact to consider is the product’s appeal among certain age groups. Usually, platforms such as Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram are more popular among youngsters and teens. While Pinterest and LinkedIn are typically the platforms of choice among middle-aged people or professional audience. 

However, Facebook has continued to be the most popular social networking site in terms of the number of active users. As of October 2018, it had a little over 2 billion users, which makes it the best place to advertise your product to a general audience.  

  4. Create trends

Social media is always about creating trends.  As a general rule of thumb, trendiness equals business.  So, if you come up with a good trend, the chances of success are high.  

The most effective way to get your product to trend is to produce fresh, cool, and social hashtags. For example, Coca Cola made a hashtag called #ShareACoke. This became a sensational hashtag and gained the attention of many. It was unique and sent a social message as well. 

Using social messages for endorsements, by giving a message at the end, is also an excellent way to make a new trend. The general public always appreciates social awareness and sentiments being shared by corporate brands.  

  5. Be original

Now, this may sound a bit cliché, but it is a tried-and-tested formula. Being innovative with your content grabs attention from audiences emotionally. The audience feels connected to the brand. Try to come across as honest and original in your marketing, since no one likes being lied to.  

Often, honesty takes organizations towards the thrones of success. If you’ve got an interesting background story- tell it! According to statistics, more people are captivated by honesty rather than flashy images of whatever product it is you’re trying to sell.

6. Brand’s voice

A brand’s voice is what reaches the audience widely. How you represent yourself through this voice has the power to make or break you. When writing your content, or even when writing your bio for an account, try to stay in tandem with your company’s voice. 

People read what you write. They cannot understand the meaning behind it until you write it. So, you have to be careful while writing that the tone should not seem rude or sarcastic.  

  7. Regularity

Being regularly available and online on social media is crucial. However, it is also not a stress-free task. Always being online can be very irritating, as well as harsh. You may say that one cannot stay stuck to their phone all the time. However, it is also the truth that the more you post on social media (that too original and new posts), the more followers you get. 

This is how the trail works. You have to post regularly. However, it is not necessary to post regularly. You have to be online always. You can post something and go offline or relax, and after some time, you can check back on your posts, or post something new. 

  8. Create a bio or profile for yourself

The mistake that brand owners make the most is that they let go of the bio or profile section in any social media account. Every social networking site has this section for a purpose. A profile or a bio introduces you to the world of excellent results. This means that it defines who you are and what you want from the public and what the public should expect from you. 

A bio says it all about you. Moreover, when you don’t have one, people might not take your brand seriously. A professional bio can attract a wide range of audience in lesser time. It can also be a reason for losses if not done nicely. So, it is vital to know the way to make one without any errors. 

  9. Celebrities

This has been an advertising technique for decades. Whether it is any channel, this tactic works anywhere, anytime. A celeb face on the cover of a brand can make the brand the talk of the time. No matter how old this technique becomes, but still fans will keep following their celebs trend. 

A famous face can do wonders. Especially among youngsters and teenagers, this is very common. They see their favorite actor or actress wearing something or using something, and their priority becomes to buy that. Here is a chart showing how celeb endorsements influence marketing. 

Source 

Wrapping up

Well, to wrap up, I would say that even if this digital time has proved to be a blessing in disguise, but, at the same time, it can be a headache to manage it. So, follow these strategies to conquer the realm of social media marketing, and you are ready for your ride to success!

≡ MOBILE NAVIGATION ≡

This post contains key information for potential and new players. It contains our rules, character follow list, player application, and more.

RULES

General:

FightAsOne is a mature group. No one under the age of eighteen will be permitted to join. This rule will not be negotiated or lowered.

NSFW posts should always be placed under a cut. Certain things like extreme violence, anything related to sexual assault and drug use need to be tagged with an appropriate trigger warning (ex: tw: drug use, cw: body horror)

This is a closed community. Interaction with characters outside of the FightAsOne group with your in-game character blog is not allowed.

Please make sure you follow all characters on the Follow List.

Follow the group’s main blog.

Track the tags listed here. You will also be required to follow any main plot or subplot tags as they are developed.

Read through the group’s Current Plot. Make yourself aware of the group’s Previous Plots.

We regularly use Discord for plotting big events and have an ongoing, casual group chat. Ask a mod for access if you are interested in joining.

Group Relations:

Stage One: Approach the player OOC - whether through Discord or Tumblr’s various means of private communication - and attempt to resolve the issue at hand.

Stage Two: If after approaching the player in question, the matter absolutely cannot be resolved on a player-to-player basis, alert the mods for assistance. We ask that you please provide a brief summary of your issue; to create an unbiased viewpoint, we will also contact any other players involved to hear their side as well. A Discord chat will be held with the involved players and the mods in an attempt to guide the discussion to a mutually acceptable compromise. The mods will not assist in any OOC issue unless Stage One has first been attempted.

Stage Three: If a resolution cannot be made after going through the previous two steps, the mods will decide on the best possible outcome and will inform both players as to the decision. Determining factors that affect these moderated decisions will be, first and foremost, the overall benefit to the group, the group’s current plot, and the involved players’ behavior throughout the resolution process. Decisions made by the mods in these scenarios are final and will not be rehashed for future debate.

Activity:

This is an action-oriented roleplay. There will be times when you are asked to be present for a certain plot. Generally, you will be given notice weeks prior to the event you are needed for. If you are unable to be present for a plot, notify the mods ahead of time.

Should you decide to leave the group while playing a character who is heavily involved in plot related threads, you must contact those involved within your plot threads to work out a resolution prior to your unfollow notice being posted. A mod will assist if need be.

We’re extremely liberal when it comes to a lot of things, but one rule we actively enforce is our activity requirement. Only fourteen days of unannounced inactivity will be tolerated. If you are unable to post, will be busy, need to go on a temporary hiatus, or will be unavailable for any amount of time, we ask that you send a notice via ask box.

Six weeks is the maximum amount of time given for hiatuses. Regular OOC chat activity while on hiatus will be considered a sign that the hiatus is over and activity checks will resume as normal. Should a player take frequent hiatuses, they will lose one week of time for each consecutive hiatus (for example: Person A takes a six week hiatus, comes back for two weeks, and takes another hiatus; they will only get five weeks of hiatus time). This rule will apply for anyone who comes back from a hiatus and isn’t consistently active for at least six weeks.

After two weeks of unannounced inactivity, you will be placed on activity notice.

There is a two-strike policy in place here at FightAsOne. If you have been placed on activity notice a total of two separate times (equating to a month of unexplained absence), you will be asked to give up your spot due to inconsistency.

Following a week of consistent activity for a character holding either one or two activity notice strikes, an existing strike for that character will be removed.

If a player is consistently on activity notice but avoiding strikes by making single posts at the cut off time (consistently gaining and losing strikes), they will be asked to post a minimum of three in-character threads before the next check date. If the player fails to do so, they will be asked to give up their character due to inconsistent activity. This rule is designed to prevent abuse of our activity policy and prevent character camping.

We require that players be at least four weeks active on each character they play before picking up another. This is to ensure player activity as well to grant opportunity for new players to join the game.

There is a maximum of four characters per player. Only two of your characters can be Avengers.

Players who pick up a villain as a secondary character may have that character exempt from activity notice as long as their main characters remain off notice. Players may NOT pick up a villain without having some idea as to the direction they are going to take the character (whether this is with a certain character/group of characters or picking up a villain for plot purposes).

Bold/italicize memes, ooc meme replies, photos or gifsets, and text reblogs/character musing reblogs do not count as player activity. Only on dash threads, starters, writing prompt memes, or character headcanon/analysis writing prompts will count as character activity.

☆ Character Application (example):

Character: Bucky Barnes / Winter Soldier

Faceclaim: Sebastian Stan

OOC Name (pronouns): Sarah (she/her/hers)

Age: 27

Timezone: EST

Activity Level: Daily

Pairings/Ships: Open

2 or more headcanons: (Use what’s in the character’s bio (if applicable) as the character’s canon and view the group’s previous plots for reference. Take the information and form at least 2 headcanons that you will include in your interpretation of the character.)

2 or more ambitions for the future: (We want to know what character arcs you want for your character should you be accepted. These can be goals you have in mind, a direction you want to develop the character, or a subplot you’d be interested in doing with another character.)

Writing Sample:

He sits there in the abandoned dirt and dried grass of Fort Lehigh, head in his heads, fingers gripping too-long hair as his brain swims and his stomach churns.  He wants to scream.  Maybe even should scream (after all, the place he could once vaguely associate with the word ‘home’ is desolate, empty – no one to hear him).  He should be allowed that, right?  One moment of complete, familiar abandon in reaction to years – no – decades of control.  Still, he remains silent despite every image burning behind his eyelids giving him every reason not to.

He doesn’t blame Steve.  Or at least he tells himself that (an endless mantra – he doesn’t, he doesn’t, he doesn’t, he doesn’t, he can’t) as he tries to grasp at older memories. Before the fall, before the war.  He can’t fault Steve for wanting that back (he can), can’t fault him for doing what he thought was the right thing (he won’t).  A part of him feels guilty for leaving him at the warehouse, knows what it must look like.  But he can’t bear the idea of being around Steve right now.  Not after he’d just tried to kill him.  Not when the impulse and the thought to do so were so clear in his mind, fresh and lethal.  Steve had his own problems to deal with (he refused to acknowledge that one of those problems was probably still him), he didn’t need his added to the mix.

Looking around at the weathered lodges of the camp, it was hard to imagine that he used to peddle cigarettes, magazines, and sometimes alcohol to soon-to-be soldiers. For cash, favors, or just to give himself some sense of belonging. He’d been so young.  Its current decay is somehow fitting.

Heaving a sigh as his thoughts settled into the closest thing to calm he figured they’d get, he pushed himself to his feet, brushing the dirt off of his clothes.  He had work to do.

How did you find out about the group?: (character advert/group promo/specific tag/recommendation/etc)

CURRENT PLOT

"What do you fear?"

In the aftermath of the Accords, our heroes face a time of great uncertainty. Friendships are broken, faith is shaken, and the future is unknown. In the shadows of the chaos, an organization calling itself The Hand seeks to take advantage of the crumbling foundations of society.

Their reach is ambitious, spreading from within the criminal underground and beyond, using any means necessary to achieve their goals of total infiltration and domination. How does one sustain an empire that lasts?  Yearning for immortality, they seek out knowledge of rumored mystical, powerful artifacts scattered across the globe in the wake of Asgard’s destruction and the Skrull invasion.

Meanwhile, HYDRA and their leader, Sinthea Schmidt, is looking for outside means to maintain HYDRA’s subversive power within S.H.I.E.L.D. and beyond. With the two organizations working to upend the natural order– heroes, villains, and civilians alike will be caught in the maelstrom.

PREVIOUS PLOTS & TIMELINE

DARK REIGN — MARCH 2013 - NOVEMBER 2013

Overview:

The Chitauri Invasion and subsequent unveiling of The Avengers raised many questions for the people of Earth. Questions that, in the months following the Battle of Manhattan, transformed into outcry as the devastation wrought upon New York state was put to long-term perspective. The World Security Council announced that in light of his failure to safeguard New York from alien attack, Nick Fury would step down from his executive role within S.H.I.E.L.D.: Norman Osborn would be taking over as Director. Soon after, Osborn fired Maria Hill and appointed Victoria Hand Deputy Director. With his team now in place, it was time to gain the trust of the people whilst casting doubt about the heroes that protected them. His first order of business was to recruit a group of his own “heroes” and unveil them to the world as his new Avengers team. His Avengers included such criminal maniacs as Bullseye and Daken. Vigilantism was subsequently ruled unlawful. Osborn used the Battle of Manhattan as proof that the former Avengers along with their allies were a threat. With superheroes now considered outlaws, the Dark Reign began.

Result:

Heroes were sent into hiding in order to survive. Those who chose to remain, such as Tony Stark, were openly attacked or captured and imprisoned. Osborn continued to extend his reach by ordering what he thought to be successful hits on both Hawkeye and Captain America. Several heroes were apprehended while some were added to his Dark Avengers roster, including James Barnes as Captain America. But the heroes were making progress of their own, coming together in secret to form a plan to put a stop to Osborn’s rule. Eventually, Osborn’s schemes began to unravel beneath him. Daken, recognizing the signs, began making plans to betray his superior. During a daring rescue, the imprisoned heroes were freed. With Osborn’s forces weakened, the final battle ensued and Osborn’s treachery was exposed. Norman Osborn and his Dark Avengers were defeated and sentenced. For his part in Osborn’s capture, Daken was pardoned and Maria Hill was reinstated as Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

RISE OF ULTRON — FEBRUARY 2014 - AUGUST 2014

Overview:

After the shadow cast by Norman Osborn’s Dark Reign passed, our heroes enjoyed a period of relative peace. Determined to ensure that the team would never have to face a bitter divide again, Tony Stark converted his New York City Stark Tower into the Avengers Tower and invited the team to move in. It was Stark’s hope and belief that this would further unite the team against any threats that may arise. During this time, Dr. Hank Pym was formulating a plan of his own and the Ultron project was born. Pym, who had been contracted by S.H.I.E.L.D., reported his progress to the organization who in turn took possession of the Ultron robot and modified it, uploading to it a program known as Project Insight. What both S.H.I.E.L.D. scientists and Dr. Pym failed to realize was that the AI had already begun to rewrite its programming. After publicly breaking ties with the Avengers, Director Hill announced to the public that the Ultron robot was now on patrol, predicting and preventing threads in order to ensure civilians’ safety. It wasn’t until Ultron openly attacked Thor after deeming him a threat that people began to question whether or not the robot could be trusted to protect innocent lives.

Result:

The attack against one of their own forced the Avengers to publicly oppose S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Ultron project. Tensions continued to rise as the robot became more reckless with each arrest, eventually favoring killing targets instead of apprehending them. With S.H.I.E.L.D. now unable to control Ultron, the Avengers confronted the AI and managed to damage him before he made his escape. The team returned to the tower post-battle only to have it taken over and put into emergency lockdown by Ultron, who was using Tony’s lab to repair and upgrade himself. Ultron then unleashed his army of Ultron bots and a fight ensued. Many heroes were injured and Bruce Banner was killed. After a heartbreaking goodbye, the team regrouped. Now joined by Hank Pym and Cable, as well as armed with an Oscorp-patented electronic disabling device invented by Max Dillon, they launched one last attack against Ultron. While the team weakened the robot, it was Cable who dealt the final blow, sacrificing himself in the process. Ultron was defeated but not without cost.

INFINITY WAR — NOVEMBER 2014 - JUNE 2015

Overview:

During what was supposed to be an ordinary retrieval mission, the Winter Soldier stumbled across an exchange between AIM and HYDRA, acquiring a device he believed to be a weapon of mass destruction. The item was given to Jane Foster and later to Tony Stark for analysis. While the heroes attempted to discover the stone’s origins, the titan Thanos began recruiting forces in order to obtain the legendary Infinity Gems, pulling Loki into the fold through the Mind Gem’s powerful persuasion, having had already recruited the Red Skull from the voids of space he’d been transported to in 1945. Having learned of Jane Foster’s unfortunate encounter with the Aether, Thanos had Loki remove its essence from her and return it - another gem in his collection. The magnitude of the threat humanity would face was soon revealed after Tony Stark’s work on the Soul Gem attracted HYDRA’s attention, causing the Red Skull to launch a brutal attack on Avengers Tower.

Result:

After an interrogation revealed Thanos’ plans to attack Asgard and Xandar for the Infinity Gems residing there, Bucky Barnes reported to the Avengers’ liaison, Sharon Carter. Despite the tension between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the superhero community, both agreed to set their differences aside in the face of such a cosmic threat. With the Avengers’ home in ruins, Tony Stark opened the doors of his family’s mansion as new headquarters and a place to address the task at hand. After an alliance with the Guardians of the Galaxy, two teams were formed, one headed for Asgard and the other for Xandar. Team Xandar’s endeavors were completed successfully while their counterpart’s mission wrought disaster, a series of events triggering Ragnarok, half of the team’s heroes falling. Those who made it back were met with a New York City ravaged by HYDRA’s forces, its hospitals filled with superheroes, S.H.I.E.L.D. agenta, and civilians alike. The aftermath of Ragnarok found the fallen Asgardians’ souls inhabiting those of mortals while the rest of the heroes prepared for the imminent threat of Thanos’ wrath, armed with four of the six Infinity Gems. When the titan finally attacked, he faced off with Scarlet Witch, who - her powers exacerbated by the gems - managed to thwart their enemy single-handedly.

Overview:

Unbeknownst to the heroes of Earth, the destruction Thanos left in his path in his bid for absolute power decimated the planet known as Skrullos, home of the Skrull empire. In the ashes, those who remained turned to the exiled princess Veranke, whose prophecy of her people’s rise to power in the wake of their destruction seemed to be in motion. Their steady invasion spread to every sect of human society, including the superhero community, where their presence was revealed during a foray into a remote HYDRA base mounted by Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes. During the excursion, Rogers was seriously injured and - while Barnes attempted to stabilize his friend - revealed to be a Skrull. The revelation snowballed as Tony Stark was contacted and informed of the situation on-site, granting Pitt'o - Steve Rogers’ impostor - the chance to activate a Skrull virus that would wreak havoc not only on Stark but his entire network, shutting down countless security protocols (among them being S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers’), satellites, and memory banks.

In response, both S.H.I.E.L.D. and Oscorp sought to create a device capable of detecting the alien invaders. Others took a more hands-on approach, among them being Kraven - on a solo mission to hunt down street-level Skrull threats - and Maria Hill, bringing in Bucky Barnes and functioning as a two-person team to do the same on a more political sphere. However, any cohesion between the two major organizations was short-lived, falling to disarray as both S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers blamed the other for lack of progress, neither willing to admit to their own faults and shortcomings.

With the threat spreading to less Earthly places, Loki and Muninn embarked on a quest to discover the identity of the Skrull’s leader. While they learn that the queen, Veranke, has been posing as Sif of Asgard from the start, the Skrulls - with disorder seeded and agents in place hindering the progress of detection technology - began invading in full force, launching an attack on the Triskelion and claiming it as their base of operations.

Result:

With their resources, communications, and means of protection and aid cut away, the remaining Avengers took shelter within Fury’s Memorial base in D.C. in an effort to regroup. S.H.I.E.L.D. fled in a similar vein, taking up camp in the hidden barbershop base in Midtown Manhattan. The Skrulls, using their media connections, broadcast pleas from various outlets, including using an apparently held-hostage Harry Osborn as a means to demand a cease to all resistance efforts, eventually leading up to his publicly implied, apparent death.

Having reached a breaking point, the Avengers - led by Bucky Barnes as Captain America - launched an attack to reclaim the Skrull-held Triskelion. In the effort, Antoine Triplett was able to assist both Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. forces into the building while the vicious battle outside bled onto the National Mall. With the aid of Steve Rogers - alive and escaped from Skrull captivity along with other heroes - Barnes was able to track a defeated and wounded Veranke to an unfinished apartment complex, killing her and bringing an end to the Skrulls’ oppression.

EXTREMIS — FEBRUARY 2016 - AUGUST 2016

Overview:

After the digital corruption at the hands of the Skrulls during Secret Invasion, Stark Industries announced that the Stark Network is back online with advanced security measures. To rebuild his company’s reputation, Tony Stark took responsibility of its direction and announced the Starkdynamics event in Tokyo - an international think-tank comprising of a global consortium of brilliant people given a year to come up with a paradigm shifting concept. After 15 years of ostracism, representatives of Oscorp were allowed to attend the event as a goodwill gesture purely on the basis that the company is under new management as well as the good work they did during the Invasion.

While several companies showcased their work and research, Stark delivered a keynote speech announcing the commencement of Project Epsilon with the procurement of Extremis which harnesses the bioelectrical potential to hack and upgrade the human repair center, with the prospect of accelerated healing, boosted immune system and new organ generation - unbeknownst to the crowd, his personal goals for the project being to heal himself of the shrapnel injuries his sustained that made him dependent upon his arc reactor technology. Harry Osborn - in a similar vain - seeing the potential for Extremis to cure his inherited, terminal disease, approached the Avenger with the offer of collaboration. Despite tensions, the two came to an agreement. They each selected the best minds they know to aid them in their research, one being Osborn’s pick - Jemma Simmons, who - on Maria Hill’s orders - uses the offer to gather intel for S.H.I.E.L.D..

Despite initial difficulty (and side-research requested by Stark of Reed Richards, exploring the potential of Extremis to unlock the key to the Super-Soldier Serum given to Steve Rogers), the team made a breakthrough. To celebrate, Osborn and Stark hosted a Casino Royale event, the winnings to be donated to charitable cause Citizens’ Heroes. Despite the festive atmosphere attended by S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and Avenger alike, Bruce Banner confronted Stark about the direction he’d taken the Extremis project, their argument turning heated and provoking a Hulk incident. Though S.H.I.E.L.D. attempted to quell the situation and the Avengers assisted in clean-up, the incident became a PR nightmare. Banner reached out to Bucky Barnes to confirm his departure from the Avengers, and not long after, Stark did the same.

Result:

With newfound single-minded focus on his work, Stark discovered Oscorp files of questionable content, including connections to the Ravencroft Institute’s dabblings in human experimentation and schematics on patented Stark Industries technology. The discovery brought about a full breakdown of communication between the two CEOs as Stark began shutting Osborn out. In the following weeks, Stark staged a hackathon, hiring Yelena Belova to retrieve the Extremis sample from Oscorp’s Brooklyn lab. Osborn, panicked, alerted both S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers to the theft, leading to a conflict of jurisdiction between Sharon Carter and Bucky Barnes and hindering the search for the sample.

Upon the loss of Oscorp’s AI, K.A.R.I., to the stalwart defense of J.A.R.V.I.S. following Osborn’s attempt at forcing a retrieval of the stolen data from Stark’s servers, Osborn’s health rapidly deteriorated. This process once more ushered in the Green Goblin, who carried out several attacks against Stark Industries’ facilities, leaving almost a hundred casualties in their wake. During another of the Goblin’s attacks - the now unused Avengers Mansion - the two clash, leaving Stark severely wounded, his arc reactor destroyed, and - if not for the assistance of Loki, who had his own grudges against the Goblin - left for dead.

Delivered to the Baxter Building and with Extremis administered, Stark learned the Goblin’s true identity. After a brief encounter with Bucky Barnes, the Goblin fled for Avengers Tower, laying waste to Stark’s suite. Barnes, having received the programmed distress signal, arrived too late, met only with a dejected Tony Stark amidst the ruins of personal belongings and technology. What should have been a welfare check between teammates turned into an embittered dispute, months of mutual frustrations coming to a head as the two Avengers clash - breaking bones and trust. With the knowledge that the missing Extremis sample had been given to the wayward Avenger, Barnes reported to Sharon Carter and - with Stark and Osborn battling it out over Manhattan - the two sent their forces for aerial and ground support. The battle between the two enhanced corporate moguls ended in a destructive stalemate over the East River, with both participants plunging into the depths below as lower Manhattan was thrown into darkness at the hands of an explosive EMP burst, set off by the Goblin in one final act of vengeance.

CIVIL WAR — AUGUST 2016 - AUGUST 2017

Overview:

As New York City began to recover from the disastrous outcome of the brawl between Iron Man and the Green Goblin, the United Nations World Security Council resolved to take necessary action to counter the rising tide of an increasingly unaccountable enhanced vigilante community. With immense pressure placed upon S.H.I.E.L.D. to direct the momentum of such a measure, a hearing was held in Washington D.C. with Maria Hill and Sharon Carter - from it, the Agreement Concerning Cooperation, Oversight and Registration of Discovered Superhumans (Accords) were soon subject to a first draft. Tony Stark was the first Avenger to view it, and - in the aftermath of Extremis - became its first supporter.

When the Accords were revealed to the public, they were met with an array of tension among civilians, heroes, and vigilantes alike. As a facility to hold those in direct opposition of the new law was revealed on Hart Island, protests began to spark. Heavy hitters such as Steve Rogers took their disagreements to the UN General Assembly, while the rest of the Avengers met among themselves to discuss their course of action only to find themselves on opposite sides of a fence. When the final day arrived, in a gesture of good will, the World Security Council’s Alexander Pierce, with support from Director Maria Hill and Deputy Director Sharon Carter, offered a ceremonial signing of the Accords on S.H.I.E.L.D.‘s Iliad Helicarrier to Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes.

With inside string-pulling from HYDRA’s Jack Rollins and Grant Ward, what the public was led to believe was a bureaucratic olive branch spiraled into a terrorist attack as the Helicarrier crashed into Liberty Island. With the Iliad’s black box released to the public, both Barnes and Rogers were implicated in the attack and forced underground. Matters only worsened when, during the memorial service for the fallen S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, Alexander Pierce was assassinated and all evidence pointed to Barnes being the one responsible. It was enough to sway public opinion, and registration becomes mandatory for all enhanced individuals.

After a disastrous scrap between a S.H.I.E.L.D. S.T.R.I.K.E. team and several enhanced, S.H.I.E.L.D. tasked it’s science division, along with the help of Jane Foster, with the job of inventing a means of detecting such individuals in order to better protect their operatives in the field. To further assist, S.H.I.E.L.D. unveils the Vision, their newest asset and a strong proponent of the Accords.

Result:

The World Security Council, under the new direction of Gideon Malick, began implementing the detection device for offensive purposes. After learning of this decision, Jane Foster - as Thor - alerted the underground heroes of their plans. Wanda Maximoff reached out to the mutant community and other scattered fugitives of the Accords with the offer to use Cerebro as a means to combat the detection tech, and alliances were formed.

Meanwhile, those who were sent to the Hart Island Facility learn first hand of darker endeavors taking place behind the secured walls. Mistreated, experimented on, and tortured - human rights violations took place beneath the government’s nose at the hands of infiltrators from HYDRA and other seedy organizations. Rumors of these conditions leaked outside the walls and water of the prison, and from Sharon Carter and Steve Rogers to Harry Osborn and Kasper O'Connor, insider and vigilante investigations led to a massive prison break. The Hart Island prison was left in ruins, and details of what took place within were soon released to the public. The UN World Security Council announced a period of amnesty for the fugitives while the Accords were amended to ensure no such horrors would take place again.

Stage Superstitions

Hey friends, Marie was stupid and made another blog, so if this is familiar, that’s why. I feel like most of this is pretty standard, but give it a glance if you would <3

└ …The First

I’m most comfortable with plotting beforehand or with meme responses. Feel free to turn a meme into a thread, by all means (in another post)! As for tagging me in random starters, that’s a bit more selective.

└ … The Second

. Mun and muses are over 18 (in main verse). I will not smut with minors, it's illegal and gross besides. No sexually explicit material will be shown/written about the muses until they are over 18 in verse. Violating this rule will almost definitely result in you being blocked.

└ … The Third

I do love my crossovers but I kinda have to have some background knowledge on the other character’s fandom. That will usually exclude animated stuff, and as ever, I hold the right to be selective.

└ … The Fourth

I’m most comfortable with paragraph style roleplay. I can go longer easily, but shorter is difficult. Mini para works fine, but I’m not great with single-sentence/icon exclusive. Sometimes I'll start with one-liners, but I do expect to transition to at least single-paragraph.

└ … The Fifth

I will follow anyone’s blog whose rules I feel I can follow, which I’m interested in either aesthetically or for writing. Reasons I’m not following you may include: You don’t trim threads, we’ve followed for a while but haven’t interacted, you’re inactive for more than 3 weeks without a hiatus notice, or things got to be a lot to handle for me. I’m selective, but not necessarily mutuals exclusive, so don’t let that throw you off.

└ … The Sixth

Basic roleplay etiquette is in play: no godmodding, no killing Carlotta unless it’s pre-plotted, etc.

└ … The Seventh

I don’t really have any triggers mickey mouse excluded, and I’ve been pretty good at avoiding it so not a problem, and I do my best to tag any triggering content (eg suicide ideation, anxiety, nsfw,). These will be tagged as “trigger tw” for your own blacklisting purposes. I want everyone to have a good time, so if I miss something you’d like to be tagged, feel free to message me via im or anon or whatever makes you feel comfortable. No trigger is “too stupid” to be tagged – hell, I just told all of you that I’ve got a severe Mickey Mouse phobia.

└ … The Eighth

On the subject of verses: I have a lot of them and tbh I keep adding all the time. If I don’t have a verse, I probably want it. If you have questions about anything you see, feel free to hit up my IM! It’s always open for OOC talk.

└ … The Ninth

. Dropping: It happens. I usually try really hard not to do it, but if you need to, I completely understand. No words necessary. That said, if it becomes a trend in our threads, I might want to talk about it? Because if it happens too many times it makes me feel unwanted. I’m not asking for a lot, just open communication with my partners

└ … The Tenth

All of my icons are made by me from screenshots found at screenmusings

└ … The Eleventh

I’m not exclusive and every thread is in its own universe unless previously discussed. Regarding shipping, I am a goddamn ship whore with Carlotta and so is she. If you want to ship, come IM me and we’ll talk about it and I will probably ship it already tbh

└ … The Twelfth

Drama: I will not tolerate it. I will be quick to block if I see it, let alone if people try to involve me in it. By the same token, I won’t let myself get vagued about anymore. I’ve had too much put on me in the past and I’m done dealing with it.

└ … The Thirteenth

I know these rules make me sound horrifying and jaded and scary. I’m really not, I’m a sad, slightly burned meme who wants to be friends with people and have nice fun threads, so please do that! I love you all, and look forward to interacting with you <3

[tartareus]

mobile navigation: rules

  here you will find my rules:

01.  this is an independent multimuse roleplaying blog for various muses from many franchises. as stated pretty much everywhere in this blog, my interpretation of my muses is mine alone and i honestly try to stay the closest possible to the canon —  but obviously drawing aspects from the fandom itself, references found around the net plus my personal headcanons and other inspirations.

02.  the standard roleplaying etiquette applies in this blog — basically? don’t be a jerk. hate, godmodding, forced ships, ooc drama and other shit like that is highly frowned upon here. although i am extremely shy, i prefer to talk in private other than vague posting.

03.  i usually don't interact too much oocly  — i'm a mun with social anxiety and it's really hard for me to connect with people, no matter how much i want to. also, for personal reasons that i'd rather not say. the point is, all you need to know about me, check the mun page.

04.  i try to tag everything — really. triggering themes WILL be found here and shall be tagges as “ tw: triggering stuff ” and nsfw will be tagged as “ nsfw ” so you can easily blacklist these tags and not see them. if you’d like me to tag smth for you, feel free to approach me via IMs or ASK.

05.  unless asked otherwise, all asks will be published. if you’re messaging me for plots, i encourage you to do so via IMs.

06.  i am a shipping whore — HONESTLY ! but that doesn’t mean this blog focuses only on that. chemistry is your bestfriend.  

     06 a. most of my muses are into men and  women  — but also reaaaally into pasta. what i’m saying is that most of them are pansexuals. boundaries of gender/species are nothing here.      06 b. although most muses are of age, some arent and therefore shipping will most likely to happen in their older verses — that are in fact my default ones so yeah.      06 c. if you want to ship our muses, please, don’t hesitate to ask. i probably want too.      06 d. feel free to send me a shippy meme — even if we haven’t written before. i love memes, do send them.      06 c. if you feel uncomfortable with incestuous / toxic  ships then this might not the right blog for you. i acknowledge that by writing such relationships i may trigger some people, so here's your warning. LET IT BE KNOWN that i, by NO MEANS condone such things  — i just am capable of separating fiction from reality.

07. it should go without saying but no, NO SMUT WILL BE ROLEPLAYED WITH MUNS / MUSES THAT ARE UNDERAGE. pls, don’t lie about your age, i’ll be mad af.

       07 a. no, there are NO exceptions of this rule.

08. i am SUPER friendly — honestly. i’m just too shy. please, don’t ever feel anxious before approaching me ( ic or ooc ) ; i’m here to have fun.

    08 a. yes, if you’re an oc i’ll rp with you, i love ocs / mumus / female muses. come @ me and lemme love you ; but only if you provide enough information about your muse/s

09. i don’t care much about formatting - all i do is lowercase, small font and icons i made - but if you do, fine! as long as i can read it, i’m cool with anything.

10. i am a SLOW REPLIER; i’m sorry, but i promise i’ll be on as much as i can. i’ll never pressure you to reply and expect you to return the favour. if i ever need to drop a thread, i’ll IM you. my main muse is my game of thrones / asoiaf oc, reyna hill. in the future, i might move her here, but that won't happen any time soon.
