Hello! My name is Mary, and this is my blog! My husband and I live in Northern Massachusetts together with our adopted daughter. I'm no writer, so I hope my little posts aren't too busy or dull!
I enjoy reading, poetry, gardening, philosophy, film, photography, travel, food, and the paranormal ♡
Recently I've undergone some changes that drastically altered my perspective in life. In sleep I still dream of the darkness that once controled our lives, but now - in waking hours - I have overcome that terrible curse. Life is beautiful, and the world around us is full of mysteries we may never solve.
My husband loves to document our life together through his pictures and videography. So, I've decided to join him in his little hobby, though I'm more interested in sharing my inner-most thoughts and feelings, as well as my story.
(Here's a postcard from our last vacation. Though, I'm not sure if James will ever take me back again.)
Welcome to my "funny" "parody" account
This blog is dedicated to light-hearted roleplay! This is meant to be a "for fun" sort of project for me.
This blog is "run by" Mary Shepherd-Sunderland, in an alternative timeline where she's been cured of her illness. It's vaguely based on an AU of mine, but I want this to be a goofy blog without too much consistent "lore". Nothing serious.
The writing style will fluctuate. Sometimes Mary's posts will be eloquent, she'll take the time to write it like a letter (wink). Sometimes though she just won't be feeling it, and the posts will be a little more silly. Mary is a complicated woman, with different sides to her.
The inbox will be opened from time to time for asks! I'll be making text and art posts, hopefully more than ugly paper sketches.
Specific tags I'll use:
#ask = reponses to askbox asks
#mary = posts made by Mary
#husband = posts made by/about James
#laura = posts about Laura
#journal = random musings, poetry, or ideas posted by Mary
#art = posts that include original artwork
#rb = reblogs of other people's amazing art
#ooc = anything meant to be from the blog creator / not in context of the roleplay
#🌿 = "I made this post while I was stoned and you should assume that Mary is too."
#nsfw = posts containing NSFW text or suggestive imagery. Filter this if you do not wish to see it. I plan on keeping the blog fairly tame but don't blame a girl if Mary gets a little frisky.
- RULES / GUIDELINES -
• TASTEFUL 18+ / Suggestive asks are permitted. Do not be explicit, do not be krass. If you want to ask if Mary thinks fat guys are sexy, that's fine and tame. However, do NOT aim your sexual desires at me or my blog. I am not Mary, I am not James. I'm just some guy. I've run a blog like this before, and people have sent me asks detailing sex acts they want to perform with my characters. This is unacceptable.
• Canon compliant darkness is permitted. You are allowed to ask Mary about her illness, she will do her best to answer. Deep and difficult questions, as long as they're not extreme.
• Asking James a question is absolutely permitted, Mary will simply ask him for you. But, don't expect his answer to make sense.
• Do not feel entitled to a response. I work 5 days a week, and I'm going through a difficult move as of writing this. This blog is meant to be escapism for me, allowing me to just kick back with some fluffy Mary/James in a casual setting. I struggle enough to draw as is, so acts of entitlement or rushing me on an ask I never replied to is not appreciated (I may block you, if you decide to harass me over it.)
• Do not send me inflammatory asks. Don't try and pick fights with me. Especially over differences in headcanon or canon interpretation. If you take issue with the way I portray these characters, I suggest you practice self-curation of your online experience the easiest way possible: block me.
• Other ask blogs are permitted to interact, but I'm pretty shy and slow to come up with replies/draw so again, the entitlement rule does apply here just as much. Please don't expect a response.
• Random note, it IS a bit silly to pretend Mary has a tumblr blog, since I'm setting this in the early 90s. Just suspend your disbelief, I'm not going as far as to design an old HTML style webpage for this. She has a magical computer with access to modern internet, or something. It's not that deep, just go with it :P
I operate on cartoon logic. I could get an ask from another Mary or like, an MLP rp account, and I'd find a way to play along.

EDIT 1: Changed the biography to reflect new headcanons of mine... Ashfield is located North of Boston, at the very border of MA, while Silent Hill is about 6 hours north in Maine.
Not only am I agnostic about a god, I am agnostic about most supernatural phenomenon. Do ghosts exist? I dunno, definitely had more personal experiences with them than I have had with god. Does magic exist? Maybe, in a way, I don’t know. Getting rid of absolutes and debbie downer behavior has improved my life immensely.
