I’ve written intermittently on Tumblr for the last 10-ish(?) years, so if we’ve met before then it’s great to see you again! If we’ve never met, then it’s nice to meet you! I like getting to know the people I write with, so hit me up if you’d like. In my spare time when I’m not doing this, I enjoy TTRPGs and building miniatures. I’m probably sick right now.

| speed and posting style |
Anyone who’s played with me before knows that I’m the slowest guy. I used to worry over this a lot, but this most recent bout with illness has made me re-evaluate how I want to look at time here and stress about this less. I’m going to answer things when I can and keep a tracker so I can see everything and not drop things on accident, but I’m going to treat it less like a deadline. If you want to carry on a thing and don’t mind if I take weeks, let’s do it! If you prefer a partner that’s quicker, I’m not the guy for you.
I tend to write multi-paragraph style, with small text but otherwise minimal formatting. I use icons sometimes, but not always. If you would prefer I use normal text size / no images / etc, let me know - I can accommodate these things.
-
| breadth of work |
One Piece is huge - I’m not fully caught up, but I am through Rocinante’s bit! I’m still very sad we only got to have him around for a little while, and may or may not make verses to explore alternatives to that.
But! If you want to chat about the manga or the anime in general, I’m all about it.
-
| fundamentals |
I’m not even sure if it’s necessary to add any more, but of course: it’s not cool to godmod, control other people’s characters, kill each other without discussing combat first, badger people for speedy replies, engage in callout culture, etc. Please be a nice human.
Not interested in interacting with people that engage in racist or homophobic / aphobic behaviour. Also not interested in looking at ships for this character that involve incest or large age gaps. I will not write Doffy and Cora as a romantic relationship, and I will not write Cora and Law or any similarly aged characters that way either.
-
| tags and content warnings |
I will always, always, always tag triggers for you, especially if you list them in your rules page. If I miss one, or if you’d like me to tag something new, shoot me a message so I can add it to my tags! Violence and other NSFW content types will always be tagged and thrown under a cut.
Triggers for me: Please tag all images of dental injuries with ‘teeth tw’ or something similar. I have just about every iteration blacklisted. Additionally, please tag all content involving a/b/o threads/art/etc and, for lack of a less loaded word, ‘x humanoid character has/gets/is ‘cursed’ with x animal traits/whatever now’ threads/etc as well. I have just about every iteration of both of these blacklisted (I think). Any general a/b/o tag will work just fine; for the latter, I suggest ‘animal traits tw’ or ‘zoomorphism tw’. If you post this that’s fine, but I might not be able to follow you. Deeply personal reasons for me as an individual and as a professional / animal advocate - For clarity: hybrid or shapeshifter characters that actively deal with their hybridity and its consequences are not the same thing. I have a problem when humans put on animal characteristics like costumes for aesthetic purposes / kink / amusement / etc.
-
| shipping |
Writer and character are both of age, so shipping is fine as long as the other character and writer are of age as well. I will not write with underage muns at all, full stop.
I don’t really foresee myself shipping this character much, but if we’ve interacted and you ship a thing, whether it be romantic or platonic, you should let me know. I usually can’t see that sort of thing.
-
| asks |
Asks are neat. I try to answer them all, but again : I’m a slow guy and Tumblr eats them sometimes. If I can’t come up with a good response for what you sent me, I’ll let you know so we can do something else instead.
If I answered an ask of yours and you’d like to respond / make it a thread, that’s awesome! I just ask that you put your reply in a new thread and @ me rather than reblogging the original ask.
-
| memes |
I have a complicated relationship with writing games. I love them in concept and love getting to send my friends things and answer questions / draw prompts / etc, but the havoc they bring to my notes can make it impossible for me to run a blog. Please don’t reblog memes from me if you don’t follow me, or if we don’t interact - makes it too easy to lose replies when notes are a mess.
Hi hello I love you !!! And I can still get in here ! I'm just getting my ass kicked by life. OTL
Things are getting a little better, but I fear I may have to drop just about everything and start anew if I want to come back with a manageable level of anxiety. I have this Monday off, so maybe if I have all my holiday gifts and cards done we can take a rejuvenating breath and try again.
Thanks for reading, and for sticking with me ! Much love,
While I haven't been writing, here's a thing I made recently.
I've actually finished a lot of stuff in the last few weeks ! A pair of socks, three hats, this library box, a cross stitch, an assemblage project, and a two-strand cowl I've wanted to finish for years.

We're going to R.ochester M.ayo for GammaKnife at the end of this week and it's a major procedure and I'm fairly mentally spent at this point but I also keep thinking about
* Something something about it pouring when it rains
I've missed you guys a lot ! Big changes in the life of Rabbit right this minute, good and bad. The good thing is I've been able to actually start medically transitioning - I've been socially transitioned for years at this point, but it's nice to finally start actually feeling better. Looking forward to voice changes the most.
But for the bad, within the last week or so my father was diagnosed with a brain tumor that is impacting his vision, coordination, ability to read, etc. Right now we're in the process of establishing with an appropriate specialist and making a battle plan for that, but a lot is still up in the air and my presence is needed elsewhere.
I still want to write, but for my own sanity and time management I'm going to be really selective about what I work on. If you want to plot something or perhaps write on Disco, do reach out because miss the bird (and Eden too). OTL He's my comfort character, my skrinkly.
Much love - and thank you guys for waiting for me to catch up

Sorry for my sporadic activity - summer is a very busy hospital time where I live. OTL
I've also been doing a little more writing on Disco lately so if you're interested in that let me know !
I'm also also working on my home office / curio room - check out my quack remedy and pharmaceutical collection in their own spot ! I kind of want to paint the blue sections of this because it's not an historic piece, but the letters are a little intimidating.
