As Unforgiving as the Sea

I live for the sea, and the sea lives in me.

uh………………….this is awkward

So basically what happened is that mental illness as well as a lot of other factors got in the way of me RPing here and, unfortunately, I dropped away without a trace. I found this blog again while going through inactive blogs to unfollow (I followed my own RP account lol). 

It’s almost amazing that Tumblr staff didn’t delete this blog since it was inactive for so long. Almost. We all now how incompetent the staff is.

Anyway, I don’t think many of you are still there. A lot of these blogs have been inactive for months or even years; I only found one so far who’s still going strong. Either way, if you’re reading this, thank you for being a follower here. I wish I could’ve spent more time RPing here, since the RP community was one of the greatest and most welcoming communities I could’ve been in. So, thank you to the RP community as well, especially the Dishonored RP community.

I don’t RP anymore. I simply don’t. I could probably pick it up again, but my activity would be sporadic given the fact that I have memory issues, time management issues, etc. etc. (I mean, I forget to do things five minutes after I decide to do them. Imagine if I tried to run an RP blog.) Maybe, just maybe, I could pick it up again, but for the meantime, don’t expect me to come back and start RPing anytime soon.

I do, however, write outside of RPing. My works on AO3 are here. As you can probably tell, my writing style has changed a lot since I first started here. If you’re still interested in anything I have done at this point, feel free to check out my AO3 account.

My main blog is here. If you decide to look me up there, please remember to read my links before you follow me. If you follow me. I wouldn’t hold it against you if you didn’t.

I don’t know where else to go with this post, so I’ll wrap it up.

I’m happy I had the opportunity to dip my toes in the RPing community on Tumblr for as long as I did. It was difficult for me, but it was fun. I enjoyed myself and I still have some fond memories. I might keep this blog up for another month to let people contact me before I either archive it, take it down, or simply save the URL as a sideblog on my main account. If you’re interested in making contact with me, my blog is still up there; your best bet will be to message me there or send me an ask there, though I’ll check this blog once a week to see if anyone has said anything here.

Thank you for reading this post, and thank you for being such a welcoming community. I don’t think I’ll come back after the next few weeks are up, but nevertheless, I miss y’all.

I’ll queue this post for a few days out of the week so that people get a chance to see it.

Mun out.

"Admiral, can you ask Samuel to give me a boat ride? He says that he sees faces in the water at night, and I wanna see them too; but he won't let me go with him! Sam's gotta listen to you, right?"

Havelock sighed heavily. "No, Emily," the older man replied. "It's not safe for you to leave the Hound Pits. Maybe he can take you some other time."

Emily's eagerness to go out and explore reminded the ex-Admiral of his younger years, of the days when Havelock himself longed to see the wonders of the Wrenhaven and the sea. He admired it, but he couldn't sate her desire for exploration. Havelock understood the risks. He wasn't about to jeopardize the Conspiracy and Emily.

the speech impediment of the 21st century (by Marc Johns)

[lyctorgideon]

I’ll fuck you up buddy this is not a speech impediment it’s linguistic evolution!! the existence of the phrase “Aisha was like” allows the speaker to convey whatever Aisha said without making the listener assume they’re quoting Aisha directly while still maintaining the FEELING of what Aisha said.

ie, Aisha said she didn’t want to go out with me VERSUS Aisha was like, “I’d rather kiss a Wookie”.

the addition of “XYZ was like” lets the speaker be more expressive and efficient and it is a totally valid method of communicating information!!

With the way language has evolved, this is one of the few ways I can even think of to express in casual conversation what someone said. 

"So I said to Aisha," is certainly used, but if you remove the "so," which implies casual tone ("and" can be used in the same way), you get

"I said to Aisha," which is really formal in most English dialects/variations. I don’t know about all, but in New England dialects, you sound like you’re reading aloud from a novel.

"I told Aisha," is really only used when you continue to describe, not tell, what you told her. Ex: "I told Aisha that James was too punk for her" works while, "I told Aisha, ‘James is too punk for you’" crosses the line back into formalness of the "I said."

Things like “I asked” or “I answered [with]” are similar levels of casual and efficient to the “So, I said [or say, as many conversations about the past take place in present tense anyway, as if the speaker is giving a play-by-play in the moment]” but are specific to only certain situations. 

"I was like, 'Marc Johns, what is your obsession with restoring archaic speech patterns and interfering with the natural progression of English from complex to efficient?'" envelopes all of these easily and is accessible and crisp, and allows for more variations on inflection than the others.

Of course, James is probably like, “I already fucking said that.” But eh, I tried adding on.
