smol hiatus update. family i’ve been hosting have left, so i’ll be getting back into my routine in the coming days! i thankfully landed a day off today after working for the past 2 weeks straight, but i’m going to be using the rest of it to majorly clean up and declutter my space to help reset my house and headspace. still keeping up the semi hiatus, but i do see an end in sight & i’m excited to be back soon :’)

"i would die for you" this, "i'd walk through fire for you that"

what about "i'd live for you" romances? what about "i never thought i'd be worth the work it would take to piece myself together"?

what about "i don't believe i'm worth it, but for you i'll try"

[artisimpossible]

Also, my personal favorite "I accepted that I was doomed long ago, but finding you makes me want to live again"

[blyghthound]

this is such a dumb question but i wanna make sure i’m planning things correctly. for those of yall who have archived and moved over to new blogs, did you set up a whole new tumblr account for the new blog? what did you do if you had sideblogs attached to the archived one?

[blyghthound]

this and this. sylvie.

[blyghthound]

i am g i d d y i finally have some graphics done for the new blog and so far i'm v happy w them. now i've just gotta tweak some of sylvie's info & find a simple carrd theme to plop it all onto. and i've been doing a bit of writing again which feels so so so good.

no bc i'm still hung up on this post and how oc's are expected to deliver more background information than anyone else and i'm here to once again emphasize how crucial interaction and engagement is to their own development both for the character and the writer behind them.

canon characters have the luxury of appearing "more fleshed out" / "self-explanatory" simply because we've witnessed them interact with other characters on screen. oc's don't get to have that when they are first created.

oc's start from scratch. and they can only build themselves based on the way they relate to others. it's literally how humans work.

so, you want to know more about oc's? engage. how? lemme give you some tips based on practices i've applied myself (feel free to reblog and add more):

read their headcanons: most oc's will provide important info there

ask the writer about their headcanons: found a headcanon intriguing? ask for details (e.g. if they mention they have a special item in them at all times, ask what it looks like, what for, its significance). this helps motivate writers to uncover new information about their own character.

ask the character about their headcanons: let the muse explain themselves and see how they behave about something personal, for example.

read their stats: pets? scars? tattoos? anything visible that can be commented on? point it out to the muse and comment on it.

send memes/questions: your best chance is when you see them reblog them so you don't have to come up with anything yourself.

relate them to your muse: does your muse like rock music? ask the character or the writer if they like rock music too.

note: this list isn't exhaustive. it's simply a couple examples from first-hand experience. it also applies to all muses (canon or oc), but needless to say, this post is specifically about oc's, hence the focus on them.

my knight you have to live you have to get up you have to put your hand over your wound and hold it there. you have to keep walking and walking and walking because you cannot lay down yet, it’s not time. wipe the blood off your breastplate and look up into the sun. lean on your sword if you need to. lift one foot after another. get up. get up. this would be a pitiful grave.

hiiiiatus update. i'll be shifting to a semi-hiatus and extending it until ~some point~ in september. small life update/explanation below the cut if you'd like to bore yourself with the details.

the tl;dr is that, although i've just returned from my trip back home to help my sisters move to their new spot, apparently i'm not done hosting folks over at my place. my in-laws are coming over in a few days to stay for about 2-3 weeks. this is actually fine since my MIL & FIL are super chill and we've got a great relationship — there's never any real pressure to go full south asian hospitality when they're over.

however my brother in law, his wife & (possibly) my nephew decided they'd like to come and stay over too since his parents are gonna be here. again, cool, they're also super nice, but this does mean a little more effort on my part for prepping and planning and entertaining and whatnot.

on top of that, one of the barista's went on leave at my 2nd job which means the rest of us (just 3 including me lol) are stretched thin on this next schedule making up for the hours. so far we're all working every day with only one day off. aaaand just because that's not enough, i still have my freelance shit to keep up with which i've been just making deadlines bc of how busy things have been.

i'm a little bummed as to the timing and everything just because i've started adhd meds last week and have been feeling so great. i genuinely think they've been instrumental to me handling all of this craziness in the past week without feeling frenzied or scattered. so i was really looking forward to getting back into a solid routine and swing back into writing. i haven't finished all the graphics for the new blog either, so i think i'll use what free time i have to get those going. thankfully i can actually focus, so i'm feeling optimistic about knocking out the little rp to-do list i have going atm.

but yeah, based on what's been planned so far, it seems like things will settle down after next weekend. i'm hoping so because i really haven't had much of an opportunity to do anything for myself & quite frankly i'm a little spent from the time i've had to spend with my own family, which is always a little complicated and i get pulled into mediating everyone's weird dynamics and disagreements.

anyway! none of that is exciting or important lol but admittedly i do want y'all to know what's going on behind the scenes even just to say like, i'm here and i wish i was here more but life do be lifing here in the world of nadiya & i am fully planning on being back when i'm able to, which will certainly be at some point this month. in the meantime, again, thank u for sticking around & i really do hope u all have been doing well!!

when i send memes, i usually send a handful to give you a variety of options to choose from. you don't have to answer every single meme i send — i just want to give you plenty of lines to pick from so you can decide which works best for you. you can also hold onto the extras and come back to them later when the muse strikes... or, if they're taking up space in your inbox, go ahead and delete them. that's okay too! i'll send you more another day! whatever the case may be, don't feel pressured to answer every single one!

emergency commissions: open!

at around 3am this morning i was lying in bed, panicking about my current situation. and i am finally swallowing my pride. but i will be opening emergency commissions for graphics (blog ads, icons, banners, etc.) to help pay my bills. due to this LOA i have taken from work for my mental health, as part of policy i have to take the first week's pay of the leave unpaid. which is devastating when you are paycheck to paycheck.

what i am offering is as follows:

blog pack: ($20 USD) 1 blog banner, 1 blog ad, 1 pinned post image, 1 icon psd, 2 dividers starter pack: ($12 USD) a combo of 3 from the blog pack list. individual item: ($4 USD) for a single item from the blog pack list.

follow this link for examples of my work that i have made for myself or for other people in the past. if you are interested, please reach out to me at my discord: lashofbhaal (please tell me who you are either in a dm here or in the comments) so we can discuss terms. these rates were chosen after discussing it with friends on what was reasonable. but i am not beyond working things out as this is a dire situation. because i'm not trying to profit or make this a small business, i just need to pay my rent. if you don't need graphics, please consider reblogging. i appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. xoxo bree
