I've been gradually getting braver with reaching out to people after a very long period of keeping to myself and a very small number of people and I just want to thank everyone I've talked to for being SO cool. 🫶

I'm always going to lament not having the energy to keep up with more but I'm really happy for the things I do get to be a part of. There's so much creativity in the RPC and I enjoy getting to see it even when I don't have much more than scrolling and tapping hearts in me.

Added a quick clarification about follows/likes from this blog to the pinned post.

I do love when two very fucked up people are in very fucked up love with each other

Sorry that you're going through it. Here's a picture of my Holly helping me do laundry.

She's very attached to me. I went on a four day vacation and now she won't let me out of her sight for more than a couple hours without peeping anxiously until I check in on her.

OOC

Having a really rough day today. Would appreciate positive news or cute pet photos, if any of you have that to spare. I'm taking the best care of myself that I can but there's just. So much.

It's utterly magnetic when a character's rage is quiet and precise. When they don't scream and throw things but they just b r e a t h e and very very calmly aim their fury like an arrow shooting inexorably towards the target of their wrath. It captures my attention, I lean in close, I wait for the hit. It never disappoints.

“this character should kill their abuser” i agree. unfortunately they wouldn’t do that.

it’s just me and the 5 people on here who know my oc by name against the world

im an absolute fan of when characters have their own twisted perceptions of love. like holy shit that guy thinks inflicting pain is affection! woah this silly man believes love is a form of ownership! give me more.

i don't care how 'cringe' or 'mary sue' you think your oc is. i think your oc is cool and i think you should talk about your oc more.

this applies to everyone

to anyone missing my writing please know i am also missing my writing

it has to be said i <3 characters who are victims of circumstances they created for themselves. especially when the bed they made for themselves to lie in is so horribly cruel and punishing that it interrogates the idea that anyone can be truly said to "deserve" anything at all.

I just saw a DNI for "evil intentions". nobody puts up a warding talisman anymore just a fucking DNI

The problem w writing fiction is that you'll be like tee-hee I'm going to write a story about a fucked up little scenario that's got nothing to do with anything in real life, just some pure messed up nonsense, and then you finish it and take a step back and go aw rats I made a metaphor again

doomed by the narrative but not to death. doomed to survive. doomed to stay alive inside the story. doomed to never escape the narrative, not even through death. you are allowed no exit. there is no way out for you and there never was. you couldn’t die if you wanted to. the narrative has a hold on you and it won’t let go. death is too sweet a doom for you. the story has something much worse in mind. there is no way out.

you know you're cooked when you make a spotify playlist for a character

because I like short and simple.

Going to work on a small update to my pinned post hopefully over the next couple days.

based on this post

Things have improved a bit on my end enough that I'm really missing the activity but now I'm feeling awkward about wanting to refollow people :')

agh. I truly wish I had more consistent energy levels.

Hey y'all, I've got to give a quick more OOC-focused update. A month or so ago I went through a huge energy crash I'm still kinda recovering from due to spreading myself too thin trying to keep up with too many things and do too many things at once.

I'm going to try to have a presence here again but I think I'm going to have to unfollow blogs that don't form a core relationship for my OCs because I simply don't have the energy to keep up with that much these days. Please don't read anything personal into it, I am just exhausted and have been at my limit for too long and I need my RP dash to be one I can easily catch up on in a few minutes.

Thanks!

a character being tragic does not preclude them from being a clown, a loser, evil, a bitchass punk, and/or someone who needs to get their shit rocked

Thinking about characters changing their names.. characters changing their names to run from the past or to reclaim their selfhood or to deny something. Characters who don't remember their names. Characters who can't forget. Etc. And yes of course because they're transgender

btw roleplaying various characters with your friends is the singular most healing thing in the world. playing with toys for adults

there is so much intimacy in creating something together

People liking your personal OCs is still such a crazy feeling, I've been doing this for years and ppl asking about them still fills my entire heart with warmth and idk how to handle it

You enjoy this fictional guy I made up for fun?? Whose only content is random artwork or writing made by me and a handful of other artists at most? They have no show/book/game with a large fandom, it's just one person with an art blog?? I love u

I FOUND THIS IN SOMEONE'S RULES, AND IT'S RELEVANT

I like to know my writing partner. This isn’t always necessary, and if you’re not the sort of person who tries to get chummy with their roleplaying buddies, that’s absolutely fine, but in my experience, the plots and characters that last the longest are the ones with the players that I can message at 3 in the morning with an idea without feeling like I’m bothering them. 

((Would anyone be interested in a $15 experimental style symmetrical headshot painting?))

Please feel free to DM me if interested! Only looking for a couple, and they'd be done within a couple of days of accepted payment! No limit to what kind of character I'd be comfortable with. Experimental here means while they'd be digital paintings, everything about the style might vary! This is way cheaper than I'd normally charge for digitally painted work, because I don't have examples for this yet!
