gone

perma. inactive i opened the window so i could meet you independent shion

[akashion]

i’ve spent the last few months thinking, going through a lot of stress and progress, deciding what i want to do with my life, so on, and i can now say with certainty that i am ready to close down this blog and discontinue roleplaying permanently.

in my eyes, the roleplay community on tumblr has been fading since i first started, growing more difficult to thrive in, and the no6 community is quite small, and even smaller in terms of rp. extremely small. and more than just that, i think i’ve simply grown out of roleplaying. for me, rp started as a way for me to bond with other people and share my love for characters and fandoms. but i no longer feel that this is a necessary way for me to express myself.

i’m much more confident in myself and my ability to connect with others and form bonds outside of shared interests on tumblr, and i’ve become fond of my own personal writing, in the form of stories and semi-poetry and such, in writing projects that take more effort and determination than just a few lines or paragraphs of roleplay. roleplaying certainly takes work and creativity and love, yes, but it’s not the kind of work that i want, i’ve come to realize.

i want to say thank you to all of you, all my past followers, all my present followers, everyone i’ve interacted with- thank you so very much for allowing me this experience. it’s very difficult for me to let go. but i’m glad that i can leave knowing that i was able to make at least some friends along the way.

thank you so much.

well, i better wrap this up so that i don’t ramble. catch you guys on the flip side.

greek godly parent quiz

RESULT ; POSEIDON

your godly parent is poseidon, stormbringer, earthshaker and lord of the oceans.

children of poseidon display similar qualities to those of zeus, including pride and stubbornness but are more in control of their emotions, making them reasonable in nature. you place high value on those you care about and will go to extremes to help them out. your greatest strength and weakness is your devotion to those closest to you. children of poseidon are generally calm and easy to get along with, which lulls people into a sense of comfort with them. however, being influenced by the never-still ocean, unpredictability should be your middle name, and when provoked, you can unleash rage that you might not even be able to control. children of poseidon, unlike those of zeus, are driven not by law and duty, but by emotional attachments instead, not pausing to judge the consequences of their actions until it's too late. some demigods might be influenced by the thrilling nature of the power they possess and can lose their heads in it, usually requiring a calming external force to snap them out of it. without a control factor, children of poseidon may begin to crave destruction rather than stay balanced.

qualities

pride, loyalty, devotion, reason, leadership, humor, unpredictability, rage

Who falls asleep in a pile of paperwork one night and who wakes them up by stroking their hair and kissing their cheek, before telling them to pack up and go to bed and that they won’t take no for an answer?

“No, you air-head, that was a figure of speech,” Nezumi huffed, “Do you have no knowledge of Semantics? Even common sense might be enough to get a grip of what I’ve said. Next time, read a book or two before you try to act smart.”

[reunite-be-together-again-blog]

“You have an enormous amount of knowledge, and a wide range of it too― but none of it is systematic. Sometimes you’re fickle and over-sensitive, but other times you’re lazy and careless about the details. You adore piping-hot soup, and you get really grumpy when it doesn’t have the right amount of salt. And last night, you kicked me three times in your sleep.”

@cryptianのコメント： forrest! tree-kun! how have you been?

i’m pretty good at the moment! nothing too exciting- back in class, swamped with writing projects, thinking about uni and everything. y’know, the usual stuff. probably the most interesting thing right now is that i’ve got five cats, so that’s cool.

and what about you? doing well? anything new?

⦂ ♚ ❅ ☏ ₤

⦂ ; what clothes do they sleep in?

      shion usually falls asleep in his work or day clothes- it never really occurs to him to change. in fact, he doesn’t own any proper sleepwear. when he doesn’t sleep in his day clothes, however, he’ll opt for either nothing save for boxers or a large knitted sweater, depending on the weather.

♚ ; do they have a favourite piece of clothing?

      he couldn’t really say whether or not he had an exact pinpointed favourite that he’d choose every time, but he does still happen to use his duffle coat as a staple clothing. it’s a bit worn and tattered, especially after the year with nezumi, but shion does his own handiwork- sewing and patching and the like- to make sure it’s doing fine.

      he’s not committed to it- he’s never really committed to material things like that, but he feels more comfort in keeping the coat than tossing it and buying a new one.

❅ ; what do they usually wear when they’re not working?

      just as with his sleepwear, shion doesn’t tend to change or stray from his usual attire, but there are noticeable differences in his casual attire when compared to his work attire, as small as they may seem to be at first glance. 

      he’ll wear brighter colours and don accessories such as bracelets and hats and switch dress pants out for pencil cut jeans. shion is slowly learning to take care of his appearance and looks to current trends while still staying very loyal to his comfort zone, but never anything too fancy, even if it fits his interest. one could describe the general look as a fade from work attire to modern prep fashion.

☏ ; what do they wear when they’re at work?

      shion wears what is expected of the usual white-collar worker: properly fitting dress pants and shirts, sometimes with a blazer or as a full suit, and always in neutral and dark tones. clean, simple, and professional.

₤ ; how many shoes do they have? what kind?

      he has seven pairs of shoes: three pairs are dress shoes in black or different shades of brown, one pair of dark brown cap-toe boots, two pairs of van-style slip-on shoes in light grey and black, and one pair of white sneakers.

below the surface everyone is pretty complicated. based on your answers, we think the following three traits are important strands in your personality:

AMBITION ;

you have a strong sense of potential and an intense drive to accomplish difficult things. the core of this is your ability to hold together the big goals and the daily efforts. where other people’s hopes collapse when they encounter the tedium of the journey, you keep coming back. oddly, it is actually your ability to endure feeling unheroic that counts. you know the power of working away solidly on what’s in front of you.

for ambition

how to realise your potential

how to be an entrepreneur

how to find meaningful work

SHYNESS ;

part of you is gripped by the fear that you’ll launch into something and completely mess it up. the upside of this is wise caution: people are indeed often too rash, whereas you know, by instinct, that holding back can save you. probably, you feel shame and self-disgust a bit too much. but when you do feel in your element, you act with a wisdom and sensitivity never found in people with thicker skins.

for shyness

what nice men never tell nice women

on confidence

on perfectionism

RESILIENCE ;

you have a tendency, after a setback, to turn your emotions towards restriving. what attracts you is the idea of wiping out a humiliation by resumed action – overcoming weakness, repressing your fear. because part of your motive is pride, you can sometimes be unwilling to admit weakness or to receive aid. but at heart, tour insistence on coming back and never folding has taught you a valuable pessimism: you know that important journeys are never easy.

for resilience

on stress and inner voices

how to cope with imperfection

losers and tragic heroes

[shieon]

one of my favourite scenes in the no.6 novels is when Shion is sprinting away from a group of attackers, trips, literally does a somersault, lands on his back with a mouthful of dirt and a stray dog licking meat grease out of his hair, and then….

 lies there staring at the stars, thinking about how “stunningly beautiful” they are
