⋮ ⌗┆𝘾𝙃𝘼𝙉𝙉𝙀𝙇 08 ───independent, selective, private, multimuse for various canon characters. 25+ Written and wished by LIMINAL. (forty+. she/her) no minors. no AI. EXTREME TRIGGERING AND DARK THEMES PRESENT. Please read rules below the cut or the carrd before following. Hella low activity. Dead dove: don't eat. NOT SPOILER FREE.
note: I may sound harsh with some of these, but I promise I'm sweet enough to give you cavities. However, I don't want and will not get into stupid dramatic online feuds. I'm a grown up and I want to write. Please don't try to drag me in your stuff. I won't participate. Trust me, I'm boring.
ME: Hi! I am Liminal. I'm old. Not 20 something old because that is not old. I'm just old. (early 40s) I have been roleplaying for decades now, with thirteen years on tumblr.
ps. quick note: if you tag me in something or make me a post and after a few hours I have not pressed that heart (like button), it means my notifs didn't alert me and/or I didn't see it. Don't be shy to poke me if you think that's the case.
1- Warning: This blog can and will be extremely triggering, with mentions of, but not limited to: kidnapping, death, murder, blood, manipulation, self harm, drugs and alcohol use, abuse, medical abuse and a bunch of others I will add as I think of them. What I will not write is the obvious: grape, anything involving harming children, homophobia, transphobia, racism, etc... Also, very much anti r.yan m.ur.phy. I claim Dandy as my own bye.
2 - Drama: the rpc is chuck full of it and I want nothing to do with it. Keep your dirty laundry out of my face and we'll get along fine. If you have a problem with me, come to me, don't spread bullshit. And if you do, believe me, I won't fight or scream or write a huge ass response. You'll be very disappointed by how much I do not care what a stranger on the internet thinks of me.
3 - Length and activity: my lengths vary, but they can be intimidating because I like to write a lot. Don't be. You never have to match my length. As for my pace, I am slow. Drunk turtle slow. I have other obligations: I have a family which takes priority, a 40 hr job, and I'm tired at the end of the day. So don't expect quick replies unless I have sat at the computer for that specific reason, and even then, me being at the computer doesn't mean I'm here to write. Also, I reserve the right to choose what I feel like writing and who I feel like writing with. This does not mean I don't like you. It just means I'm more inspired in that moment. I won't be here all the time. I won't be here every day. Don't chase me... I beg you. I'll be here when I'm here.
4 - Plotting: I suck immensely at plotting. I usually get my ideas as I write. If you want to plot, you're free to approach me, but I probably won't be very good at it and my responses may be brief. Plotting is just hard and I tend to freeze on the spot. It's not because I don't like you or don't want to communicate. Respect that and don't get mad if you think I'm not returning the same 'enthusiasm'. It's not that, I just suck and get stuck when put on the spot like this. lol
5 - Threads: I don't want to take on too many. I might end up only taking a select few and see as things go. DO NOT TURN ASKS INTO THREADS UNPROMPTED. Please! They only add more threads and I get stressed. I wanna have fun, not be anxious by the amount of threads I have. You can ask me, and I will ask you, but the answer won't always be yes. Please don't take offence if I say no. It is not personal. I don't want to get overwhelmed.
6 - Smut: I don't mind writing it. It's fun actually, but I'd like to write other things too, so just... y'know, be mindful of that. I found a way to put my posts under read more that agrees with xkit, so those threads will be under read more unless it stops working. :) I tag everything that is n.s.f...w as #usfw. Kaz will be the exception to this rule for obvious reasons.
NOTE REGARDING NIKKI AND BEAR: While I will write Nikki sometimes as wish!Nikki, I will not write smut during that period because it's non-concensual and I don't care for that.. I also won't write anything sexual with Bear with another Nikki. I want him to suffer, or write their 'friendship' beforehand.
7 - formatting: I don't do super heavy formatting. I'll have icons, and maybe separators but everything else is very minimal. I keep most of my writing in regular font because I know it can be harder to read as small fonts. I make it look a lil fancy but it's nothing huge. I do, however, enjoy doing graphics so I may do more. But it's just for my own fun. Don't feel like you have to do the same. I'm here to write, not look at your photoshop skills (which is cool btw, but it won't influence if I wanna write with you or not.)
8 - Who I write with: I will only write with people who are mutuals with me. While I have made a few exceptions in the past, I realize this can take away from my mutuals who are waiting on a reply. I'm not a follow for follow blog and I very rarely follow blogs that are not roleplay based. If we do not follow each other and have questions, feel free to send! But I won't be roleplaying with regular blogs, sorry!
9 - finally: have fun. Be patient with me. Be kind. Respect my boundaries and I'll do the same in return.
Okay very random thought I just had but: does anyone remember how, back when everyone had full blogs with detailed themes, there were counters on these blogs that exposed those who had been on your blog... and like... we were all getting doxxed.... and no one had a problem with that. It was used widely, and it was normal. Idk -- it is so weird to me today, when I think back on it. And I'm not innocent, I had one too. I participated like a lot of others. I thought it was 'cool'. But today I'm like O.O?????! Ummmmmm.........
Anyway.
I might be wrong. Please correct me. <3

Posts asking people to like to make sure they still want to interact gets on my nerves most of the time. I don’t see the point beyond wanting some likes in your activity tab. Sometimes people follow not necessarily because they see how their muse could interact with them, but because they really like the mun’s writing and attitude and enjoy their presence. It doesn’t have to be about constant interactions, it’s just not sustainable. I don’t write with everyone I follow because I don’t always know HOW to interact but I want to try in the future, near or far.

Romantic shipping is NOT necessary in every situation. I 500% understand the appeal of romantic ships but I don’t want to write JUST that. I’m not extremely interested in smut bar a few exceptions. Not everyone is into that but I also think it should be in your rules or somewhere on your blog that you’re not into that stuff, so you protect yourself and if someone won’t respect that boundary, then bye.

Three unpopular opinions?? Oof, I dunno that I have that many remaining but let’s try! Tbh I think these are more common sense than unpopular opinions?
1 – No one should "gatekeep" their writing partners. It’s happened to me a couple of times where I was isolated from a fandom because that person wanted me all to themselves. It was a terrible feeling, and they were extra abusive every time. Again, I would like to re-iterate this is a hobby. It’s not serious, and it shouldn’t be serious. People are allowed to write with whoever they feel like without fearing the wrath of someone else. If you feel someone is trying to gatekeep you, get the hell outta there FAST.
2 – Graphics are cool. Yes, they are. Are they an integral part of writing? I think so. Should it influence whether you write with that person or not? No. But they are fun to look at and I enjoy them very much when my partner uses them.
3 – You shouldn’t post all your personal info on your carrd/pinned. Post an approximate age. For example, I’m in my early 40’s, so I’ll write 40+. Don’t list all your illnesses. Don’t give people a way to find you irl. I see SOOOOO many people write way too much about themselves in their pinned/carrd and honestly, I get worried. I used to do that, mind you, because I lived in my little lalaland where people were inherently good. I found out eventually that wasn’t the case. (They are, but assholes are louder). I’ve seen people get doxxed on here. Post approximation, not your real name, and for the love of god, nothing that can get you found irl.

Call.out posts in the rp community are stupid. There, I said it.
They’re rarely used to protect others from a predator. I’ve seen that happen TWICE since I’ve been here (2012), where the person was genuinely trying to get minors to smut and later do other things. That is the kind of callout I can get behind. The reasons I see are generally very petty.
What I usually see is “they’re writing this specific subject ew!” Or something that was misinterpreted because context was not provided, etc. It’s never anything really serious, even harmful: something you can deal with a block button and a few tag blocks. The truth is that some people thrive on hurting others coz they’re miserable, and seeing someone in their corner having fun is like a trigger, so they have to fuck it up for everyone else.
I’ve had people I didn’t agree with on my dash. People who said fucked up shit I didn’t like. Guess what I did? I blocked. I moved on. I don’t even remember their urls after a couple hours. That’s how it should be. It’s a hobby, it’s not serious.

You may be surprised to read this but I generally do not like them. Too often the gore is over the top to the point of ridiculousness ( yes, I know I love mortal kombat and isn’t that the same thing? Shhhhhh ). I’m very sensitive to gore, believe it or not. Especially the noises. I think too many horror movies take it way too far by overdoing it and the story, and often the message, gets buried. Now don’t get me wrong, if it’s made to be humorous in a way (like more recent Chucky for example), then I can usually take it. But when it’s trying to be serious and the gore is over the top every 5 mins, then no, I don’t like it. I can’t stand it. If it’s used for shock value, I’m out. I'll be watching the inside of my hands coz I'll be hiding the screen the entire time. I'm too sensitive for this lol
That’s why I loved Obsession I think. I don’t even see it as a horror movie, moreso a thriller. There IS one gory scene and you know what? I could take it coz it made sense. I could get with it.
🔥 - shipping, but specifically the negative stigma around folks that like to ship
Send me a “ 🔥 “ for an unpopular opinion.

Shipping is fun! I love to ship! I don’t know if what I’ll say is an unpopular opinion. I think it’s just common sense? lol
Honestly, this kind of negative view of shipping I believe you’re talking about usually comes from a place that’s very insecure and laced with jealousy. Maybe they wanted to ship with that mun’s character first, maybe they wish more people would ship with their muse while seeing everyone else gather them like funko pops.
I pity these people who feel the need to take it out on everyone else: they have to be very sad individuals to act out on someone else for enjoying their ships and trying to ruin it for them. Shipping. Isn’t. Real. (I mean, it is, but shipping fictional characters should not affect you to this point.). Being jealous is normal, it happens unfortunately. but what you DO with that jealousy is your responsibility. I used to be a jealous roleplayer. I was possessive of my partners because I feared they would abandon me, but I never messed with them, I never did anything about it. I coped in other ways. I never ruined the game for them because it’s just that: a game. Shipping is part of that game. Too many forget that. So, in conclusion, the negative stigma around shipping is silly, dumb, and unnecessary, and needs to go away. If you feel threatened by someone else’s ship created between two consenting adults, maybe it’s time to take a break from the internet and roleplaying for a while.
Sorry, I feel like I went on a tangent with that one lol
... And then Sarah's heart fucking shatters for the young woman sitting across from her. It doesn't show on her face, at least she hopes it doesn't because Nikki doesn't need that right now, but it does appear in her voice : "Of course there is," accompanied by the tiniest smile, "I'm renting a motel room not too far from here that's got an amazing set up. Shower, sink, everything a bathroom has, you're gonna fucking love it." It's an attempt at a joke, cracked just to try and make Nikki feel a little more at ease. "You can have some of my clothes, too - I always pack way too much for these trips and sometimes it comes in handy!"
Another deep breath as she prepares herself for this next part : " ... But in order to get you back in the car without drawing attention to ourselves we're gonna have to keep playing our roles 'til we get there. Meaning," Sarah glances down at Nikki's wrists, "handcuffs. Now, I don't feel comfortable putting handcuffs on you so we have two options and it's entirely up to you which one we pick : We can either A.) Go with the handcuffs anyway and just get out of here as quickly as possible so you can take them off fast or B.) You hold your arms behind your back and I hover behind you so it looks like I'm holding on for extra precaution. Again, whichever one you want to go with is fine by me - I gave them one of my connections' numbers to call afterwards so we're free to go either way."
Nikki relaxes. This woman whose name she doesn’t know – she’s certain it won’t match the badge when she asks – isn’t shutting her down like like the others, for whom she shouted for for weeks. They shunned her. Looked at her like she was crazy, and never helped. But not here, and she’s never been so grateful in her life. Shower, sink, everything a bathroom has, you're gonna fucking love it.
A ghost of a smile pushes past the grime, the blood, the tragedy. She’s missed this: genuine humor. She didn’t think it was still possible to feel something positive – except it only lasts so long, until the woman explains how they will leave this room.
Nikki isn’t keen on either option, but she understands it must be done. To anyone else, she is a hardened criminal, more than likely... The handcuffs leave an extra bad taste in her mouth: It reminds her of the internal cage she’s lived in while Bear took advantage of her. “Can we... do the second option”, she attempts. She hates her voice. Broken, uncertain. In a mere few days her confidence has deflated into nothingness. Slowly she stands, feeling Sarah’s dress on her body shift – a sudden whiff of blood catches her off guard, nearly has her gag.
“I’m ready.” With a deep breath, Nikki straightens and takes a few steps around the table. “I didn’t ask your name...”, she says, turning around and crossing her hands behind her back. “-- and you didn’t tell me who these men are...” There’s still hesitance in her tone, trust eroded by the tides of betrayal, but there is enough of it to follow the plan.
