Roleplaying/Writing

My favorite muse(s) of theirs and why: Bamboo Rice will have a special place in my heart because I love big ol’ dorks whO WILL DO ANYTHING FOR THE PEOPLE/THINGS THEY LOVE. And Bamboo was really the one I got to know and we were able to somewhat extend conversation about him :’D. 

My favorite interaction/thread of theirs: Any time Xander literally opens his mouth and everyone else has to reply like “NO” and he’s like “YES.” I really just love how your general interactions can literally terrorize multiple blogs/fandoms in one successful swoop, no matter which character it is. I only know so few of your characters but I can tell this is something that has happened frequently with the others.My thoughts on their unique characterization/interpretation of their muse(s): what do you mean tsun isn’t Bamboo’s writer? And Boston Lobster’s? And Xander’s?  Why am I being fed these lies? However, there was one thing I noticed that I adored and that was the fact you really brought in actual and plausible headcanons that make sense in relation to the character’s upbringing and what they have and may not have experienced. IE: I remember Bamboo being mentioned (by you) to be illiterate due to their surroundings and being deep in the forest. As strange as it sounds, people really don’t go that far down into detail and I appreciate it. My thoughts on their writing style as a whole: You know that meme where Gordon Ramsey says “finally, some good fucking food”?  That’s literally me when I see any of Tsun’s posts, IC or OOC. I just like reading their stuff and being intimated by the writing in a way that pushes to me to go back to my more serious writing times. Also don’t get me started on their meme ANSWERS, IM HONESTLY RECOVERING FROM SEVERAL ON XANDER’S BLOGS, DON’T @ ME IT READS LIKE POETRY - Situation(s)/Plot(s) I’d love to see their muse(s) in: HMMM… I would like to see Xander in an AU where he properly is a king of a land, even if it is through questionable means (which may be slightly OOC); I do think your Sengoku M. muses will have a god damn fun time in a deity-based AU. Lmao, and if you have doubles, you can always mimick the Evillous Chronicles series with like twins (Daughter of Evil, Servant of Evil, Regret Message, etc.) because those are fun times :3ccccSomeone else I love seeing them interact with: @box-of-characters and @cirocchio ; no questions about that. No matter which character, it IS THE FUNNIEST THING TO ME. Anything else I want to say about their roleplaying: So how the hell does a gem like you stay hidden for so long? What’s your secret? Why keep hidden?? I’m going to have to hold you high in the air for folks to realize the quality that is you as a writer. 

If We Know Eachother

What I Think Are Their Best Qualities: Can deal with my bullshit, has the shitty sense of humor like me, and doesn’t find me annoying. Tsun just really knows how to get the dash working and chat with others, making a whole group experience that doesn’t exclude anyone. Tsun also takes heavy consideration and stuff when writing for characters and trying not to insert his midwestern twang in otherwise very regal mouths. Seriouly, though, I think his best qualities will alwas be the way they’re able to frame their characters’ emotions and always involve movement with them, making a whole scene play out. It isn’t stagnant, it’s always flowing, like a river.What I Think Are Their Strengths: Can laugh and tolerate my horrible fucking puns. It’s just super easy and comfortable to talk to you and get to know you! I say that not only are you an amiable personality, I really do say that at the end of the day, you care for your fellow roleplayers much more than writing partners and more as friends. This is beyond writing that I’ll consistently gush about but, I get that you’re an all around package who brings your A+ game and only deserves the best. A Memorable OOC Interaction Of Ours: How…how do I choose one?? I usually send him very cursed things over Tumblr IMs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=120HFjKPuJ4) and we’ve explored the realm of what strange things seiyuus sing. Every OOC interaction is memorable! Why Others Should RP With Them: It’s really hard nowadays to find roleplayers that really care for their characters but also know when to mess around and not take them as seriously. With the addition in being dedicated to building their characters and open to new and exciting ways to interact, I don’t why why you aren’t following yet. Also, he helps me cope with the stupid and long novella replies with eveN BETTER ONES SO, YOU GOT THAT BONUS. How Others Should Approach Them: Maybe it’s me and I see that it’s really easy to message people like a moron like “he-hewwo??” But, I always say drop into Tsun’s messages and drop a hello! I always say it’s better to drop in to meet the person first rather than their writing. It helps build bonds! Other Roleplayers I’d Recommend To Them: @vacuitas ; I think both of your multimuse blogs will greatly mesh well together and with Kat’s blog backstory and OCs should really be explored and you got some interesting personalities on both of your blogs that can either get along or hate very much! Anything else I want to say about them: how you haven’t gotten tired of me yet and the weird things I’ve sent you is beyond me– But, Tsun, you’re a real sweetheart and know how to bring a smile to my face without realizing it ;v;

If We Have/Plan To Interact

A plot I’d like to write with them: ANYTHING. ANYTHING. just honestly throw me ideas about AUs and I’m like butter, easy to melt and get into things. *steeples hands* If there’s any way I can make a character suffer at the expense of one of mine getting hurt or being mean, lmk :eyes:. Maybe hm… “Asselin you’re not a demon and those horns are totally fake - what the bloody hell. No I’m not going to stop pulling these horns these are NO way real ” AU. A muse I want to introduce to them: Natsume from Enstars. Just trust me, just trust me you will love that little shit and he’ll fit in with your crowd and he curses people like a fucking moron please I LOVE HIM… Since you like characters in trashbags, but I want you to have a variety, I can also bleed in some of my Mogeko charas like Shirogane (a scaredy cat wolf) and Battler Ushiromiya from Umineko (he’s a man who defies meta to solve the murders of his family that fateful October 4th, 1986). Also Phantom from Maplestory, I …love him to bits, he’s amazing. He’s gorgeous, he’s powerful, tends to not take things seriously is a phantom thief but I …oh god I love him so much : ‘ ) A ship/broship I’d like to propose to them: Xander/Sophie’s dynamic is amazing, I love when the bourgeois and the peasants argue. I’m also glad that their relationship can translate on different levels but there’s always that call-back to bickering yet support. If I can propose another, uhh– I really like Bamboo/Spam as a friendship and Boston/Spam as a mix of plato/romo (not too sure but I really liked their differences, i can see it as a “grey” area).  UHHHH… Asselin/Sophie looks like it could be a god damn trip :tm: bc a servant of satan of a witch sounds all sorts of chaos :3c. A thread with them I’m excited about: CHISANA THREAD, CHISANA THREAD! GIANT ASS DRAGON INDEBT TO WITCH AND HE REGRETS TURNING HUMAN BUT THEN HE REGRETS TURNING BACK AND … YEAH.  Anything else I want to say: God has forsaken you since you’re my friend and I hope you realize the path you’re now down wnjdfksnfdsj/.

I'm kinda curious. It seems like everyone popular in FFvii fanfiction knows eachother some how, like you're all always doing challenges and gifts for each other, and co-authoring and stuff. I... Write sefikura too but I'm not really popular and I just wondered if there was something that started that. It kinda makes me happy seeing that so many people who's stories I like interact, even if I don't think I'll ever get to that level.

Hmm. I honestly can’t think of any single event that was a catalyst for that sort of thing, it’s really something that just ended up evolving naturally, often over the course of months or years!

I guess some of the things that contribute are, like:

if you like people’s stuff a lot, we do notice and start to recognise names and smile when we see them

replies or reblogs with comments (either as a response to the post or just in the tags, because we all read the tags) are even better. Even if you don’t get an individual response, people do remember and again recognise names

ask memes are a great one!! If there’s someone you follow who reblogs one of those ‘send me a question’ posts, send them a question! Since the ask memes are usually set up with just numbers you can send it, it’s pretty easy and a good way to start talking.

taking part in fandom events, like the exchanges or the themed weeks

bouncing ideas off people! Generally, everyone is super receptive and overjoyed if anyone writes fic for their art or does art for their fic, or more fic for fic or anything like that. When you see collaboration posts, those are not usually planned or anything, someone just got inspired and added something! (The only thing I would say about that is to make sure that the original creator is involved. It’s supposed to be like celebrating the idea together, I guess? Reblogging the original and adding the extra content is good (like the tattoos post from recently), or just mentioning “I saw this idea from whichever user and thought it was cool, here’s some more of a similar thing I was inspired to do”. Tag ‘em, they probably want to see it! You don’t even necessarily have to talk to them, just... don’t straight up take the idea without saying a word??)

If you can, sending things for ask memes or headcanon asks off anon is better, because we can’t recognise and come to be familiar and comfortable with people on anon! 

Also, don’t be too intimidated and feel like you need to be in any in-depth conversations with people. You would be surprised how many of the gift exchange things I’ve done with or written birthday fics for with people I don’t actually talk to much at all!! Like. It’s usually always people I’ve been on good terms with, maybe had a few short but positive conversation exchanges. But more than that, there was a lot of the above things I mentioned about reblogging and replying to stuff, sharing headcanons and doing ask memes, etc. I feel like I know people better and I feel connected with them from seeing their content and their tags and headcanons and comments, y’know? 

In terms of actual conversation, person to person on private asks or Tumblr’s DM thing, I will regularly go weeks with nothing, or only very short exchanges. (That is in no way a complaint, by the way!! I’m an intovert and find personal interaction incredibly draining, so this more passive kind of friendship I have on Tumblr is ideal for me, or group chats where you can walk in and out of conversation as you please or just sit back and listen to other people chat with no pressure.) I do talk to people a bit more elsewhere now, but yeah, for the interaction you see on Tumblr, honestly a lot of that is just the things I bullet-pointed above.

I believe there’s also the @ff7central tumblr where you can have your FF.net/AO3/tumblr listed as a writer and get your stuff promoed!

totally off subject but would you happen to have any tips for someone who wants to get into rping but has literally no idea where to begin?

                        hey  !    I’m  totally  happy  to  let  you  know  some  things  I’d  recommend  to  get  started.   I  was  so  overwhelmed  when  I  first  began  but  I’ll  let  you  know  what  I  think  could  help

some basic roleplay etiquette &  tips

don’t godmod (ie. control someone else’s character. only writing about what YOUR character is doing)

ALWAYS read and follow other peoples rules

READ PEOPLE’S ABOUT PAGES.  Even if your familar with the character, you still should as many people choose to alter aspects of characters and want that respected 

be friendly & respectful of other people’s roleplay space 

DON’T be discouraged if you see people getting hundreds of interactions and you not getting as many.  remember you write for YOURSELF

don’t start shit with people just stay in ur lane

choose a mun fc!  Not really essential but it can be fun and help people seperate mun from muse. my mun fc is a guinea pig lmao

use a tagging system (again, not essential but useful) 

don’t smut (ie, write explicit sex scenes) with ANYONE underage, or anyone who’s not comfortable. (it’ll be in their rules!)

if you’re starting a new interaction with someone, don’t assume your character already knows theirs. that annoys some people, check rules or talk to the mun if you want to write them a starter with a pre-established relationship

TALK TO MUNS. If you’re not sure about something, have a problem with someone ect talk to the mun !! it shows maturity and lessens drama 

if you’re going to reblog a meme, send it to the person who you are reblogging from. This is a grey area, but if the meme is something you can send you should !! it’s more polite, but it’s not a “rule” per say, just something nice you can do. 

DON’T STEAL PEOPLE’S ICONS/THEMES/ECT HOLY SHIT YOU��LL GET DRAGGED IT’S NOT COOL

have a nice, neat theme. It does’t need to be fancy but it needs to be organised and make it simple to find things

tag triggers, spoilers ect. 

1:   make  sure  you  have  essential  pages

whatever  your  theme  is,  make  sure  it  includes  a  RULE  PAGE  and  an  ABOUT  PAGE.    Rule  pages  don’t  need  to  be  CRAZY  DETAILED  but  they  do  need  to  include  some  fundamental  info:   whether  you’re  under  or  over  age   (age  on  tumblr  considered  to  be  18) should  always  be  on  your  rules  page.   it  makes  ALOT  of  people  uncomfortable  if  they  don’t  know  if  people  are  of  age,  and don’t  lie  about  it  either  because I’ve seen  that  have  disastorous  consequences.    Other  things  you  may  want  to  include  are:   Your country, your name or alias,  who  you’ll  roleplay  with.  Some  people  only  roleplay  with  mutuals  (people who they follow and who follow them back)  some  people  put  rescrictions  on  muses - for example, some people choose not to rolelay with interpretations of real people, self-inserts, original characters ect.  If  you  don’t  care  put  that  in !    Some people also include rules on shipping, formatting, plotting and exclusivity.  This is  up  to you!  Look at some other people’s rules to see what they include.  IF YOU CHOOSE TO FOLLOW SOMEONE YOU MUST READ THEIR RULES AND ADHERE TO THEM.  Roleplay works off of everyone working around eachother so READ RULES AND FOLLOW THEM.  

other important pages:  an about page !  this is a page telling people about your character so they can get familiar with them. EVEN if you choose to write a well known character it’s good to have one and if you’re writing an original character or unknown character you should DEFINITELY have one

2: make  starters  for  people  !

the  easiest and quickest  way  to  write  with  people  is  to offer to make  them  a  starter  - that’s  basically  just a small paragraph, dialogue or mix from your character which “starts” the interactions.  Most people make posts like “like this for a starter!” and  then go from there. Alternatively, like someone elses starter call. BUT REMEMBER TO CHECK THEIR RULES BEFORE DOING SO, some people reserve starters for mutuals, and some starters will be exclusive for groups or characters. just check rules & tags and you’ll be fine. 

3: be friendly and interact with plenty of people

even if you don’t have time to write with everyone, it’s always good to be friendly with other muns. Follow a range of people and be friendly/chatty. It makes roleplay much more fun if you have relationships with people outside your characters, plus it can lead to you developing fun plots or relationships you might not have explored if you didn’t chat. The easiest way to get more interactions is to extend your influence through making friends, following a range of people and being friendly

A GUIDE TO RP TERMS

In the end, my main tip is to just figure it out as you go, be fruendly, read people’s rules !! (seriously, so important) and HAVE FUN.  Don’t do anything you’re not  comfortable  with,  don’t  pressure  yourself.   Just  write  because  you  love  it  and you’ll have a  good  time.   If  you  want  any  more  info  please  message  me  whenever  !
