I personally think my biggest reason for a lack of writing motivation is with post cutting and slight formatting but it's partially more on the post cutting aspect. I hadn't roleplayed on Tumblr for years and to hear about this xtoolkit and cutting posts, I honestly messed up the first time I did it. It was incredibly draining and now that we have to think of better ways to post cut more smoothly because the staff of Tumblr keep changing their formats is an extra irritation.
It's mainly why I try to open the option of discord writing to my partner (unless they say otherwise, of course and prefer Tumblr, that's totally fine too!) because it's less stressful and draining. That being said, that doesn't necessarily mean I want to keep that roleplay private, if we love it so much that we want to post it between our tumblrs -- we totally can and should!
I know I'm just rambling here but this is just something I've been thinking about for a while now.

@speedaes : I could use it. It could help me to communicate with my universe.
“ 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐚 . . . 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐲 ” she commends him for his optimism : a lightness flutters through her chest as exhausted eyes watch his chipped and shattered reflection with a glance here & there -- only to look away whenever he turns. “ however ” she pauses , lost in thought about her own sibling ( about 𝙷𝙾𝚆 𝙼𝚄𝙲𝙷 this one had so much of his snarky & light hearted 𝙲𝙷𝙰𝚁𝙼 ) a thumb brushes away a tear before it falls. there's a lump in her throat , her voice shuddering. she moves closer to the mirror to put some distance between them. “ it would be in our 𝐁𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐓 to . . . approach this carefully. ” in this reality , her brother was dead and gone. There was no bringing him back. But this one -- this pietro who was alive & well -- the least she could do was reunite him with 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐒𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑.
#stephen’s a better person than me bc if she looked at me like that i would let her wreak havoc on the entire multiverse no questions asked

Your parents would be proud.
