#you can blacklist the tag or unfollow me or whatever

[lesbienneanarchiste]

I was talking to my mom abt this yesterday and I really do think people (mostly but not exclusively younger people) have lost the understanding of the phrases "tactless", "tacky", and "tasteless". Like. Sometimes things that upset you are offensive in a way that is not morally deplorable, it's just in poor taste. Sometimes people act in ways that it's better for you to just scroll past and move on with the knowledge that that person is just kind of tacky and you don't agree but why spend the effort arguing with someone over tacky behavior. You could call someone out for being tactless if it was egregious enough bc lord knows good manners are also in jeopardy but it's not something you have to get all up in arms about most of the time. Many such cases.

[is-this-yuri]

have you been doomscrolling? feeling awful about it? do you feel out of control? does it seem your autonomy has been swallowed by the ever present beast that is the internet?

we live in the most overwhelmingly stimulating age of humanity ever seen, and it's only getting worse. our brains are sponges, soaking up whatever we smear them across, and it seems more and more difficult to find a clean surface to rest on. i'm no expert or professional, but ive been born and raised into the internet, and i'd like to hand out some wisdom regarding this.

the main issue: brain poison

since the brain absorbs whatever it's exposed to, media consumption is unsurprisingly going to effect it. the type of media, the amount of media, and the frequency of the media all play a factor.

it's not the internet itself that's bad here. it's the media on the internet, and the platforms designed to suck in our attention and keep it there until we're rotting inside our skulls.

we're never going to escape the internet. it's just a fact of life now, and a tool that can be used for wonderful things. so how do we learn to live with the internet and take advantage of its potential?

treat it like a dietary balance

staying aware of what goes in your brain is just as important as being aware of what you're eating. if you eat carelessly, don't listen to how your body feels after you eat certain things, and ignore any sickness that might result from rotten food, you're going to have a bad time and wreck your guts. the same goes for the brain.

you want to have a good mix of various types of media in the right amounts, or approximately so. if things are feeling bland, maybe diversify. if things are feeling stupid, try something more intellectual. if it's feeling too much, cut back on all of it

the following are three things you can do to maintain a sense of control and awareness over your media diet. this isnt a step by step and is in no particular order, theyre just ideas to carry forward in general any time it could be helpful.

1. digest

this is the process of thinking about and remembering what youve done throughout your time on the internet. it could apply to any period of time. so you might think, 'man, i've done nothing but watch tiktok all day.' or 'i've been scrolling twitter a lot more this past week.'

i feel like most people already do this to some extent, but it manifests as a fleeting sense of anxiety or shame that doesn't lead anywhere. analyze that feeling, and ask if it's really true or helpful.

ask if your media consumption is making you feel less focused, distracted, putting you into a brain fog, making you fall asleep when you don't want to, making you irritable and angry, drawing you into arguments, keeping you awake at night, or upsetting/disrupting you in any way.

digestion also means appreciating the good stuff and recognizing the good feelings you get too. so also ask if it's enriching you, helping you learn something new, giving you a new perspective, exposing you to something beautiful, passing the time, relaxing you, honing your focus, or generally lifting your mood.

2. cut

cut certain types of content from your life once you've decided they're not good for your media diet. block people. move on. tell youtube to stop reccomending that channel. block them. unfollow people. unfollow tags. block the tags. blacklist things. do it. forget the awful things that make your brain hurty. click the block button. uninstall the app. you know you want to

consider removing yourself entirely from websites that are designed to be attention predators. if you consistently feel like youre 'stuck' on a site and cant leave, it's probably best to just delete your account and get out of there. tiktok is NOTORIOUS for this.

i also tend to keep my following or subscribed count low. keeping the stream of content short forces me to find other things to do with my time. this goes hand in hand with things like turning off infinite scroll. it provides an 'end point' where the repetitive action of scrolling down stops bearing fruit, breaking the doomscrolling cycle. the internet is almost an infinite place, and its up to you to build walls around yourself so you arent lost in it forever.

its also important to get off the internet in general sometimes. i know this is obvious, but literally touch grass on occasion. doing anything with your physical body away from the screen will be more enriching than sitting there scrolling for hours. whether it's just a 5 minute walk around your house to stretch your legs or a 6 hour hike every weekend, part of cutting media will mean replacing it with real life. looking at some plants, doing a pushup, or working on a knitting project can be like rinsing your brain sponge under some cold, clean water.

3. curate

the flip side of cutting is curating. you'll want to be looking for media that makes you happy and feels productive or meaningful in some way. anything that not only doesnt make you feel like you wasted your time, but specifically makes you feel like you spent your time well, is a green flag.

keep in mind entertainment just for entertainment's sake is good for you too. you don't have to be watching university lectures and tutorials and stuff all day. finding high quality entertainment, such as personalities you enjoy, good production values, and inventive ideas can be really difficult. find the people who dont make you feel like a cocomelon baby and stick with them. from there you should be able to find similar content.

what's good for your soul is going to depend very much on you as an individual. this is also going to be an ongoing process as not only you but the internet both change and evolve. the important thing about this step is that you Make Decisions about what to consume. even bad decisions! it's all part of the process, and it's all about reclaiming your autonomy.

4. eat your junk food

this isn't a military drill or an exact science. i'm just a guy on tumblr with an intimate connection to his own brain and a LOT of time on the internet. that's my only credential. sometimes i want to turn that brain off and just mindlessly consume without putting any thought into what dirty dishwater is soaking into my sponge. sometimes adhd brain wants me to watch a shitty B movie in recap form so i dont have to commit to a full movie. sometimes i get stuck in the youtube shorts for like 3 hours.

that's fine. the most important part of any kind of self care is that a little bit is better than nothing. even just being aware that youre consuming something bad for you and knowing you arent ready to stop just yet is better than nothing.

thats it!!

now you should be prepared to take back some control over your media consumption. be gentle with yourself and take your time. eventually this stuff will become second nature, and you'll be effortlessly digesting, curating, and cutting media like it's just part of your personality. remember YOU have control over what the internet thinks you want to see. dont let it force feed you nasty slop anymore. let it be a reflection of your mind, not the other way around.

and good luck!

Hey guys, I just wanted to say that my inbox will be wide open tomorrow if you need to get out any election anxiety or have a question about what's happening, what it may mean, you need some political jargon translated, whatever you need. I won't even reply if you don't want me to--it can be cathartic to just brain dump into a little box without any expectations.

We're all gonna be white knuckling it tomorrow and this is a safe place to come spend some time if you need to.

If you're avoiding news/coverage until the results are in, I'll be tagging everything as Politics. Please blacklist (or temporarily unfollow) if that's best for you.

Take care of yourselves. Please vote. <3

Clearin out a chunk of the askbox again

hey yall clearing a bunch of old asks from ye olde askbox, i’ve closed submissions temporarily to avoid the confusion

most of yall know the drill, but what I do is answer all the asks in order to

a) record them to my notebook document so I can keep track of who’s requesting what and

b) run them by most of you folks so assholes don’t succeed in slipping an obscure slur or terfy assholery or whatever else have you past my tired, tired brain.

if you’d like to block the torrent of posts what are just me goin “okay sure thing” for the next hour and a half, the tag is “added to notepad” and I’ll reopen the submission box for follower art tomorrow

since doing the blacklist thing likely results in a WHOLE dash of "this post has been hidden from view!" please feel free to unfollow me til tomorrow unless you like the ritual of this monthly happening, because it's VERY dashspammy

and don't forget, when your card comes up in the schedule and gets written, you can buy it for a handful of dollars right here! you can even get a wax seal n everything!

“So forgive me if I’m past givin’ a shit.”

Multiship/Multiverse/OC friendly rp sideblog to my main, @dunaskmenuthin, run by TNTpig(25+, she/her, ASD/OCD/anxiety haver)I’ve got 14+ years of writing experience, and I’m excited to get further into the HH/HB writing community! (Discord rping is preferred, but not necessarily required!) -Semi-selective, though not mutuals only. -I usually do multi-paragraph to novella length threads, but I can do shorter form if that’s what we both wanna do. And I don’t need replies to match length, just please give me something to work with. -I don’t do exclusives, I feel it limits the fun I have writing. -General roleplay/thread etiquette apply here- no spamming, no anon hate (unless I do an ask specifically requesting it or our characters are like that with one another), no stalking, no badgering, all that good stuff. This is supposed to be fun, so let’s keep it that way!

-Pretty obvious here, but no P*dos, MAPs, zoophiles, racists, trans/homo/ace-aro/etc-phobics allowed. I don’t have time or energy for creeps(full offense intended there.)

-Mun is 25+, so please don’t interact or follow if you’re under 21- Hazbin Hotel is a show for adults, and I’d feel more comfortable writing with people closer to my own age. Minors and those without their age somewhere easy to read on their blog will be blocked. -I typically will not do sexually NSFW/NSFT/whatever you wanna call it on this blog. If we get to know each other well enough, I may (and thats a BIG may) be open to writing that on my discord, but I make no promises about it. That being said, some suggestive content is just fine. -This blog WILL be dealing with some dark and potentially triggering content, such as murder, cannibalism, death of loved ones, mental instabilities, historical wars, internalized homophobia/bipobia, and Johnny having a bit of a Boomer mindset in general. If any of that is a deal breaker for you, I will not be at all offended if you choose not to interact, we all gotta protect ourselves.

-I don’t have a ton of triggers, though I will not personally write anything graphic about SA or rape, and detailed torture of animals is also something I won’t be writing. And anything to do with: underage/pedophilia, grooming/uncomfortable or illegal age gaps, incest, bestiality or CSA, is a humongous and firm NO. If it’s something mentioned briefly in a characters background/bio to add to their backstory I can probably manage, but I refuse to read or write it PERIOD.

-I also will NOT write or follow anyone depicting Jesus Christ or God as a muse. I’m a Christian IRL, and those depictions make me extremely uncomfortable and anxious. I don’t want to see it on my dash, and will block/blacklist/unfollow as necessary to curate my own space. -If you have any triggers in your rules or that you bring up while we write, I will do my utmost to tag them. And if I forget, do not hesitate at all to tell me, and I’ll fix it ASAP!

-With all that being said, feel free to hit me up with an ask or an DM- I’m honestly pretty chill, and I’d love to get to know ya!

[satsuha]

unrelated but are you bothered if a shipper (maybe a ship you hate) follows your blog but they don't mention anything about the ship?

hm. well....... see. there's a short answer to this and there's a long answer. the short answer is yes, but also do whatever the hell you want

the long answer is that for the most part my instinct when i see people who ship my notp is to block them, because i don't ever want to see that content and i don't want those people to see mine. this is basically how i navigated the 8path fandom on twitter because my notp is everywhere and i had a separate account where i just wanted to enjoy my ships. i avoided browsing on my main account because i specifically avoided blocking people on that account.

now that my main twitter has been suspended and i'm mostly on tumblr, where blocks are tied to my entire account, i've been trying to decide what works best for me... i'm still leaning towards NOT blocking people because thankfully tumblr has a much better tagging culture and blacklisting feature than twitter, but tumblr mobile in particular doesn't let me hide blacklisted posts entirely so i still feel like i'm... being made aware of my notps way more often than i'd like.

i also know i'm just a hater and i don't like a lot of Very popular ships (aka the ships that are """unanimously""" agreed upon) so especially in a big fandom like aa it's just straight up impossible for me to block everyone who ships a notp. i Also know that, just like i said in my previous answer, a lot of people like nahyuta in that specific ship context and i think it's unrealistic for me to expect everyone who looks at my art to enjoy it the way i want it to be enjoyed. i just want people to know where i stand and that i'm never going to provide that kind of content.

i know this is already very long but i just have a lot of thoughts about this because aahhh being a fanartist online is complicated when you have Opinions. a few years ago i really wanted to stay more open especially because i took commissions and sold merch but over the years and after certain incidents i feel more and more like i want to treat social media as my own space without caring too much about how i'll be perceived... i just don't like the expectation that artists/fanwork creators are expected to be more tolerant so that more people can enjoy their work. if that means one day i go crazy and block a bunch of people then uh so be it... in the end i draw for myself anyway

so haha um yeah! i get bothered by a lot of things anyway and i do what i need to to deal with it... i think the ball is in your park really. everyone has different social media habits so just do whatever works for you whether that means unfollowing me or whatever

[epicbuddieficrecs]

You should change the name of the blog if you're are gonna rec Buck/Tommy fics don't you think? Also why in the world would youbl

Oh wow, baby's first anon hater!

I've been pondering how to answer for a little while, because on one hand, do I really want to take the time and energy to answer such an idiotic message? But on the other hand, you've given me a great excuse to set some things straight so thank you for allowing me to make an example out of you.

This is my blog. I can blog about whatever the fuck I want. I do try to be diligent abut tagging Bucktommy content specifically so people can avoid it if they want to. I identify the Bucktommy fics in my fic recs, I tag the Bucktommy content. If you don't like Bucktommy, tumblr has great muting and blacklisting features, so use them. You can also just unfollow if you're not happy about what I blog. Didn't you think of that before coming into my ask box to bother me about this?

I do not have to justify the way I run my blog to anyone, but your suggestion that I should change the name of my blog JUST because I've recced SOME Bucktommy is ridiculous to me. If I really wanted to be petty about it, I would count the number of bucktommy fics VS buddie fics in my recs just so I could shove it in your face that it's such a fucking small number, I don't even understand how you're bothered about it.

And if I was a die hard "OTP Bucktommy endgame" stan, then yeah, I might make a separate blog about it, but anyone with more than two brain cells who spends any amount of time on my blog can clearly see that it's not the case for me.

I'm kinda glad that you managed to mistakenly (I presume) hit send before finishing your sentence because the first one already didn't make you look so good, I can only imagine how much worse the second one would have been.

So let this be a warning to all of my followers: I'm not anti Bucktommy. There will be Bucktommy content here!!! I'm pretty neutral-to-positive about Bucktommy, which means that I will rec the few Bucktommy fics that I read. I will reblog Bucktommy gifsets. Deal with it or show yourself out.

[mercurygray]

You're always getting mad if someone else is doing something you can't quantify. You get mad if someone writes your favourite MOTA character in the tag, because you didn't or couldn't just yet or whatever, to the point you need to discuss it with others on Discord to get past it. You get mad now because you see other people writing. If this is you online, I don't like to see what you are in real life. This is tyrannical and abnormal behaviour. You're trying to be cutesy and make it palatable when discussing it and it's not. It's arguably abusive. You don't own canon characters or what other people do in their spare time. Coming on here to even vent about it is low-key abusive because you're acting like it's our fault you feel like that and not your own. There's no taking of responsibility or sign of you actually changing your toxic mindset. All you do is talk yourself off a ledge or get others to do it for you. Go and see a therapist ffs

Usually I delete these, but hey, it's Sunday and I have a little bit of time.

Perhaps you're right. Perhaps what I just said was hurtful. If it was offensive to you, I apologize.

Right now I am feeling a little out of control of my life, and as a response, I am posting about it on my blog, on the internet, where people usually post about things that are bothering them. I know I have a history of change management and perfectionism issues that I have previously worked with a therapist on.

I have a single tag on this post that I've been using for a long time and I don't think is very common, so I don't think it's a tag you track. I don't have any keywords I can see that would make this show up in a different tracked tag, and you're referring to a number of things I've said over the last two years. This ask is very similar in tone to others I've received previously.

In which case: perhaps it would be better for you to unfollow me. Or better still, blacklist or block my username! I will literally never know. I'm sorry my space or energy is not doing it for you. Perhaps you should remove me from your tumblr experience. I feel pretty confident you could get a lot of fandom stuff from this blog from other people.

I can't call you a friend, because I think if you were, you'd reach out to me directly under your actual username and tell me that I've hurt you.

[flowers-of-tenebrae]

I thought I'd make a pinned post for any curious newcomers.

Hi, you can call me Lyna! Some things about me and my blog:

This is mainly a FFXV + FFXIV blog - I've played most FFs but I'm still obsessed about these games.

I tag things. I ramble a bit. I ramble in the tags.

My general spoiler tag for FFXIV is #ffxiv spoilers.

I have many ships, though I try to tag them.

My queue is untagged.

I don't care for character/ship hate and 90% of fandom discourse. (I'm too old for thaaat. Ship and let ship; curate your own fandom experience, etc.)

If Luna/Lunoct has no fans, that means I'm dead.

My fave FF characters are - Luna, Noctis, Zack and G'raha!

If I blog about my playthroughs, it'll usually be tagged as #lyna plays _

---

Once in a blue moon, I make gifs. And sometimes headcanons about ffxv/lunoct.

Most of my original posts are lunoct/ffxv-related, cos that's what motivates me!

Feel free to unfollow, block, blacklist this blog any time. It's whatever /shrug

P.S. I took a looong hiatus from tumblr, so a lot of what I'm reblogging is me making up for lost time! (And sharing the things I like)

[thefrsers]

Not that you need permission, but I saw a comment and without starting drama bc that’s dumb, as someone else who had to wait until tonight to watch…I was bothered zero by your early gifs because…I didn’t log in until I’d watched bc I knew there’d be spoilers.

It’s not your responsibility to make sure nobody gets spoiled. At most (and you may have even done this) you could tag posts so people could hide the tag but I still go with if I can’t watch until late, I just avoid tumblr. It’s not that hard.

Your gifs are beautiful and I loved logging in and seeing them as soon as the credits rolled. Thank you for the time and energy you put in to having them ready to fangirl over right away.

The ep was awesome and I’m going to enjoy reliving key moments through posts like yours over the next 5-6 months until the second half of the season airs 🥴

Aw, thank you so much for your kind words, you’re so sweet🥹 And I understand ppls frustration as well and we're all entitled to feel certain way about it and I try to take that into consideration. For myself, I live in the US do I get to get the eps early on and when I do I will always tag every tag I can think of so that ppl who dnt want to be spoiled can blacklist it or smth. But I am also someone who will also share things as soon as they’re available cos I love sharing stuff with everyone or for those that aren’t able to get things(cos starz sucks lbh)and want for them to have the chance to see them. I know not everyone wants to be spoiled but I do make sure to use certain tags like #OutlanderSpoilers specifically so ppl can see that. Ofc, I am more then ok with anyone blocking/muting/unfollowing me if that helps them not have to be spoiled I wnt be offended or anything. You do whatever you need to give yourself a peace of mind I am all for that. Lastly, thank you all for your continued love and support means so much🥰🫶🏽

^will add more tws to that if i post a fic and somebody asks a tw for something.

Tags for ships i may post about so you can blacklist them; Terurei, Tsurei(as a divorced couple), Ayakane, Kiyozuna, Kinjomae, Satsurei, reihiko, kakenata, Satsuhiko

^theres also kinji x kakeru x yuki but idk the ship name for that.

Characters I really like; Rei mekaru, Mikako Kurokawa, Astrid Hofferson, Kasumi Izumo(DRRB), Misuzu Aisaka(DRRB), Teruko Tawaki, Aloiki Kahale(M:SS), Chubee Garcia(M:SS), and Ayumu Fujimori(DRRB)

Uhhh DNI; the basics. and also if youre a proshipper. please and thank you it makes me genuinely uncomfortable.

Also, i feel like i should clarify this; I do not have much care for what you ship as long as it isnt incest-y, illegal, or abusive. If i'm uncomfortable with a ship, i'll say it. I'm not going to say a ship I dont like is a "proship" because. eh. its not. BUT. Dude please just respect this boundary. I dont feel like im asking for much. I just want boundaries to be respected online. PLEASE.

ships i do not like; Uhhh. uhhhhh. hajime x emma. idk why i dont like it i just dont. I have strong opinions about akane x utsuro, and i bear a strong hatred towards it. If writing for it for a request or something, i will portray it as unhealthy and toxic. i do not remember any other ships but i will update if/when i do.

I think thats all? uhhhhhhh i should get back to writing my lesbian fic now.

oh wait i also have stupid little tags i think. Mika rambles and Mikas art. and mika does a thing.

Also also, if i unfollow/soft block you, you can ask why. Most often it could be because somethin was said or reblogged that made me feel uncomfortable somehow. I am trying really hard to not get uncomfortable so easily, but i if i get extremely uncomfortable, i tend to get somewhat of a sinking feeling in my stomach? I guess? I dont onow how to describe it, but i feel really off.

Also, for mooties n stuff, please tag posts about religion with #religion ? I have the tag blacklisted as things about religion are discomforts.

Need to Do a TON of Prescheduling by Answering Asks (apologies for Dashspam)

So I know it's not the end of the month, but I'm due to take a 2 week road trip with @evilscientist3 from late march to mid april-ish, so I need to clear all the remaining asks from my askbox and figure out when the next projected openaskbox is gonna be

So veterans of my nonsense know the drill, but for anyone new:

I’ve closed submissions temporarily to avoid the confusion, I’ll reopen the submission box for follower art tomorrow

I'm gonna answer all the asks in order to a) record them to my notebook document so I can keep track of who’s requesting what/when and b) run them by most of you folks so assholes don’t succeed in slipping an obscure slur or terfy bullshittery or whatever else have you past my tired, tired brain.

if you’d like to blacklist the torrent of posts what are just me goin' “okay sure thing” for a hundred posts or so, the tag is “added to notepad” but since that'll just result in a fucked up dash filled with "contains sensitive content" posts, it's probably worth it just to straight up unfollow me for about 2 hours

[canongf]

i’ve been on the fence abt this for a while but i think you just existing has convinced me to make a self ship side blog :3 do you have any tips or advice?

and i do have some tips!!!

pace yourself!!!

there might be an urge to go all in from the beginning and that is not a bad urge!!! but sometimes it can lead to disappointment and burn out, and that's no fun!!! so pace yourself!!! new blogs don't always show up in the tags right away because there's a trial period on tumblr to make sure you're not spam & a lot of people in the community can be shy or nervous about reaching out, especially to new people. just in case you don't get a ton of interactions right away, remember that it's not you. just give it a little time and try to have fun with it while you do!!!

reach out first!!!

like i said!!! a lot of people in the community can be shy or nervous about reaching out!! but the thing about people in the community is that they're in the community because they want to be in a community. they want to talk!! so don't be afraid to reach out first!!! even if you're not ready to send a dm or an ask, i've made a bunch of mutuals and friends just by reblogging their stuff and leaving a nice tag! by being a consistent username in their notes! people usually get invested in you and your ships when you get invested in them and their ships!!

make your own rules!!!

i see a lot of people, especially when they're new to self shipping, look to other people for answers. can i self ship with an oc? can i call them my spouse if i just found them? things like that. and i completely understand!!! sometimes when you're in a new environment you're not always sure if there are unspoken rules or something you're missing. totally fine to want a little guidance but i am here to tell you that, ultimately, self shipping is for you, and you make your own rules.

if you want to self ship with your own oc, do it. if you want to call a character your spouse even though you just found them, do it. gain as many f/os as you want, drop them just as fast, use a self insert or just use yourself, draw art, write fic, make a playlist about a character you don't ship with, whatever you want. sometimes people might not like it for whatever reason they might have and they won't want to interact, and they're allowed to do that. but you're also allowed to do what you want.

make yourself the priority!!!

at the end of the day, self shipping is about you. it's so much fun to make friends and it's so much fun to get notes, and there is nothing wrong with seeking those things!!! but just remember that if you ever get to a point where you don't feel like it's about you anymore, take a step back. if you're not having fun anymore, take a step back.

there have been times where i was overwhelmed, i felt like my main priority was answering asks and making posts for the community, which i love to do!!! but i had no balance!!! i felt like i needed to do it to "earn" the right to post about my own ships. it wasn't fun and it wasn't what self shipping is about. i've taken a step back, i've remade my blog, i've cleared out my ask box and i've closed it altogether, i've set boundaries, i've unfollowed and i've blocked, i've blacklisted tags, just to find the fun again. and i found the fun again!!! and it's okay for you to do that too!!!

this got sooo long, i'm so sorry!!! i just get so excited!!! i am so happy you're here and i am so happy you're considering a blog of your own, and if you don't feel like reading all my rambling, just remember these: be brave, be patient, and have fun. i love you!!!

(also if you do make a blog and you wanna share it, you're always welcome to share it here in my ask box or tag me in any posts you make!!!) 🖤

Last updated November 12th 2024.

— Vegito is a character who, despite how well known he is in the scope of anime & manga, has gotten surprisingly little in canon. He's shown up for a handful of episodes in the entire Dragon Ball franchise, only fighting and not doing much else screentime-wise. Needless to say, how I run him is heavily headcanon-based and canon-divergent for reasons that're shown on his about page. Please keep this in mind, and don't try to police me on how I write him or how I run my blog in general.

— I know enough things about Super (the anime's events at least) to do things in that setting, but I much prefer Z's. Vegito's DBZ-orientated by default, geared towards the cusp end after the Buu saga, unless he's interacting with a DBS-debuted character who operates in that verse. I do have specific DBS AUs of him being permanent going into it from Z, and starting from when Goku & Vegeta fuse to combat Zamasu. Whichever AU is being used varies on a case-by-case basis, but you're welcome to request a specific one.

— 18+ preferred, if only because I'm over 21 and would rather be around other adults than minors. Very crossover & OC friendly! I will not interact with blogs who actively shun OCs. My muse gels best with sci-fi and/or fantasy based characters because of DB's nature. Blogs of other anime-manga series are welcome, but I fell out of my anime craze in early highschool years ago and have remained out of the loop for what's mainstream these days, so please excuse my lack of pre-existing knowledge for your series if it comes up. I'm open to writing with other Vegitos, but I'll never follow first, or initiate with one on a multi unprompted first.

— Standard RP etiquette applies, as always. I would say I'm selective, but honestly? I'm not that hard to interest or "impress". I'll follow anyone I actively want to write with, and will not follow those who I don't for whatever reason. With that said, I am mutuals only - so if we ain't following one another, rping is a no-go. Just makes things easier. Especially don't ask me to follow you. If you unfollow me, I'll return the notion. Blogs that only write sexual content because of the lewd nature of their source material (or of their muse) tend to repel me. Idc how picky it'll make me seem; I will never follow blogs who don't use a consistent tagging system. Being unable to blacklist things drives me up a wall.

I do not & will not interact with accounts that use AI art or AI writing.

— So, shipping. I'll be shameless upfront and say that my Vegito already has a significant other canon to him, who is an OC of mine: Amita (I have her over on my DB multi). Despite that, I welcome a multiship system here where I can pair him off with other characters in separate AUs. Chemistry between characters is key, and us developing some chemistry OOC as writers will help stir up some more interest on my end. Any character of any gender or sex are fair game on paper. My Vegito isn't the type to get shallow crushes, especially not for strangers, and he doesn't care much for romance or sex as a whole (outside of using the topics for jokes). If any character wants to get with him, they have to work for it. Just maybe they could grab his attention. Keep in mind that there are certain characters / types of people he will never date, but you'll probably have to discover that for yourself.

— Fight threads. Good ol' DB and its focus on combat. Sadly, I can't say I'm an expert with them. I can still try them though! So, I'm open to spontaneous conflict since Vegito will probably egg it on anyway. Feel free to hit me up if you're down to plot out your character and Vegito scrapping. Considering how strong he is though, I recommend to not approach a fight thread with the intent to have your character win ***if we haven't plotted***. I'm all for fair, interesting fights, but please respect Vegito's strength. I won't have him lose to someone he in any reality would never lose to. Sorry to any Mr. Satan rpers out there.

— Last points. Uhh I would prefer posts containing gore and body horror to be tagged, because being blind-sided with that content can make my headspace spiral into Badness. I also prefer if smut and sexual content in general gets tagged, because on bad days it can REALLY irritate me to see. If untagged posts bother me enough, I'll DM you a request to start tagging them. I freely use my block button and will do so to curate my space however I please. I don't send passwords, nor is there one to send to me.

Thanks for reading!
