*Pats the dust here*

“...Hmmm...”

[[ No, the mun of this blog isn’t actually active on tumblr anymore (I have Jade on toyhou.se for character archiving but the posts are all here on tumblr)

Anyway, Mun has seen several of my other rp blogs getting deleted out of nowhere, so I’ll be logging in here every now and then to make sure Jade’s blog isn’t deleted too. I had a lot of good memories after all- though I really don’t know if I’ll ever rp on tumblr again, it’s faster to contact me on discord...

To anyone who I used to rp with here who sees this message: Hiya how you doing~? This mun has popped up to say hi~

I really hope tumblr doesn’t decide to delete this blog, I actually come back to reread old rp posts every now and then... ]]

do you have any recommendations on being a better fic writer? I’ve written some that I think are great! but they don’t get the same notes as other fic writers :/ I LOVE your work and wanted some advice from someone who writes so beautifully. 💕

This question makes me so sad.

First of all, wow, wowee, thank you so much!! That’s so lovely of you to say, thank you. 💖

As for any recommendations or advice I have, I’m afraid to say I don’t really have any.

Writing and art in general is so subjective and wonderfully nuanced that any advice I could give, someone else may look at and think what the heck, or it just wouldn’t work for them. When writing we all have our own, unique voices, that’s what makes reading so fun; discovering new authors and their take on things. I’ve read stories that have thousands of notes and rave reviews, and they haven't really resonated with me, but other people have clearly loved, and I’m sure some people read my work after someone else has recommended/reblogged it and thought nah, not for me. Try not to get too caught up on what makes a ‘good’ writer, because there is no one-size-fits-all. Write with your own voice, how it comes naturally. The world always, always needs new, different voices.

And I know it’s easier said than done, believe me, I still struggle with it, but please try not to focus on how many notes your stories are getting. Engagement is down across the whole of Tumblr, and it’s incredibly shitty. Not to be completely shaking my fist and muttering back in my day, but a couple of years ago, engagement was so much higher, which made writing so much more rewarding and fun and exciting. (I mean this in terms of reblogs and comments, whereas now people just ‘like’ a story and that’s it, which doesn’t say or mean a lot to me, personally.)

Unfortunately now, too, you have to tag things the right way and make sure your work actually shows up in the tags. Far too many times I’ve checked about an hour after posting and my work just isn’t there, and in this age of content overload, that can sometimes mean missing the perfect window to find an audience because people are already refreshing the tag and looking at what’s most recent.

I know this may not have been what you wanted to hear and I’m sorry for that, but please keep writing if it makes you happy, that’s all that matters. If you keep doing you and writing what you love, then the right readers will respond to it and it’ll be all the more rewarding. 

If you’re happy to tag me in any upcoming stories you have, please do so! I hope you’re having a lovely Sunday 💖

life updates ‘n shit

*doesn’t post for a year* “oops” 

so basically, a combo of college, moving back and forth, aggressive chronic illness, and poor mental health made posting impossible. 

I’ve been on tumblr the whole time, though—I’ve watched mutuals thrive and shitpost for nine months. this has kept me sane. think of me as a really creepy mannequin just peepin on your lives while trapped in hospital/college/etc. 

anyways! i might make a yt video or blog or sum shit tm to go through what’s happening, but i’m going to keep most of the details off of my blog. we come here to escape shitty circumstance dammit i just want to see pictures of michael sheen looking happy. 

Also, I don’t want to miss any tags, ever, and that’s really difficult when talking about mental and physical health. I will totally talk about any of it, especially if you need someone to talk to, over ask or pm in private.

what am i gonna do with this blog? shitpost about good omens and anything else i like with an aggressive tagging system so you can completely ignore me. thank you and goodnight.

six hundred of you are still around. that’s fucking amazing. and only like five hundred are p*rn bots wowee. anyways, i have no idea who has changed usernames and all that jazz, so reply to this/send me a message/etc/anything. 

iiiiiii forget how to make this a “read more” so it’s just going to be a wall of text. y’haw my lads.

RP PLOTTING CHEAT-SHEET

want new-and-exciting plots for your character? long to reach out to more of your followers, but don’t know where to start? fear not! fill out this form and give your rp partners both present and future all the of juicy JUMPING OFF POINTS they need to help you get your characters acquainted. 

be sure to TAG THE PLAYERS WHOSE CHARACTERS YOU WANT MORE CUES TO INTERACT WITH, and REPOST, DON’T REBLOG! feel free to add or remove sections as you see fit. template here.

MUN NAME:  Jaymi & Pashy are the go tos but I’m down for whatever anyone calls me ^-^ OOC CONTACT: Preferably Discord (citrusantiseptic#7843 and if anyone catches the reference you get 10pt in the friendship fuck it bucket). Just let me know who you are and stuff because I have been avoiding Tumblr IMs like the plague, especially since Tumblr IMs just stresses me out for some reason.

WHO THE HECK IS MY MUSE ANYWAY:

My muses are Certified Garbage Fire Kids. So here’s a little crash course; essentially all my muses are connected and at the center there’s this shadow organization called SUPERSTITION that regulates and hides supernaturals existence from the public eye. They’re borderline shadow government (but they have facilities all throughout the world so... organization). Anyhow, they’re heavily corrupt and lie and manipulate these “monsters” because they view them as less than people. Though some Supernaturals have gotten their hands in the organization unbeknownst to the human front runners, they tend to mistreat the creatures (honestly, ask Isis. Ask me. Cause that’s... Wowee!! More at 11). Their main goal is to manifest or create and control a creature that could wipe out all other supernaturals, and most of the mythicals are far too busy with their own personal or contained problems that no one’s really paying much attention. 

POINTS OF INTEREST:

I believe this post covers most everything I got about SUPERSTITION...so far. If you’re looking for lore, I haven’t posted that stuff yet. If you’re looking for solo character well... I don’t have their tags back up yet so patience is a virtue. I’m more than willing to give someone a tag for a particular character if they want to read up on them a little more. 

WHAT THEY’VE BEEN UP TO RECENTLY:

Depends on thread and verse. Everyone has their own experience with a character and it nudges my character toward an end. Nothing more can really be said here.

WHERE TO FIND THEM:

Most tend to stick to crowded populations but some tend to stay away from people for various reasons. They all travel around fairly frequently, most because they’re forced to, some because they like to. You’ll find them wherever the wind blows, usually.

CURRENT PLANS:

None worth mentioning... Especially because some of the plans I have are better as drabbles. Lol

DESIRED INTERACTIONS:

All of them. Literally, whatever you got, I want. Gimme what you got.

OFFERED INTERACTIONS:

No one really takes up the pre-est offer but I’m always up to plotting. The only thing I won’t do is pre-est romance and for a past romance, I would definitely like to test the waters of that before I fully consent to something like that. A lot of my muses feel physical attraction more than... Basically any other kind of attraction.

CURRENT OPEN POST/S:

Since they aren’t on the navi page and totally though it was XD

ANYTHING ELSE?:

My activity can be sporadic and all over the place. My motivation for everything goes all over the place and my mind is very disorganized. I forget things a lot so remind me if I miss something. And just because I may ship something doesn’t mean my muse will go for it. Please don’t take me liking something as a confirmation of a ship cause it’s not always the case.
