Rules

This is an 18+ blog. I’m over 21 and no longer feel comfortable writing with minors.

Don’t godmod unless we’ve discussed it. There are certain muses that I let mess with my muse’s heads, but as a general rule, don’t be a dick and take away my ability to control my own muse and their reactions to things.

Questions or concerns?  Message me or send me an ask.  I’m always willing to talk, but you’ll probably get a much faster response if you’re not on anon.  Also, if we’ve interacted, feel free to ask for my discord.

I fully support reblog karma. I’m not a meme source, so if you’re reblogging memes from me, I expect you to be sending them as well. It doesn’t have to be something from the same meme, but it doesn’t hurt anyone to send a color pallet art request or a question for the mun. I will block you if this happens too often.

I won't write with you if your muse doesn't have a bio or about page. This goes double for genderbent or otherwise canon-divergent muses. It's important to know the background and how that's changed them.

I’m happy to rp with well-developed and interesting ocs, including children or relations of canon characters, but please talk to me about it first and have a good bio and rules page.

But, it you’re not a rp blog, don’t like or reblog my starter calls.  That’s confusing and weird. Also please don’t reblog threads you aren’t a part of. That can confuse my thread tracker.

Please don’t bother me about replies.  You’re welcome to nudge me if I’ve been responding regularly to our thread and I stop suddenly, but I have a tracker.  I don’t lose things often and I’ll let you know if I want to drop a thread. I’m slow.  Please be patient.

I don’t do in-character IMs, but you’re welcome to approach me ooc at any time. The mun doesn’t bite, I swear.

I reserve the right to not rp with any blog for any reason.

The mun’s pronouns are ey/em/eirs or they/them/theirs.  Pronouns should always be respected in ooc interactions.

Queerphobia, ableism, etc, won’t be tolerated from the mun. I understand that muses’ views don’t reflect those of the mun.

I will rp smut, but I reserve the right to not jump into that with muns I don’t know well.

Please don’t bother me about shipping.  I’m not saying I wont ship with you, but it’s probably going to be unhappy or one-sided if you’re not John.

If you’ve read all this, let me know, yeah? Just a ‘hey, I read your rules’ is plenty for me. Or just like this post.

Rodney's bio | Ember’s bio

[cleverestofclevermen]

"Oh yes, very mature," Rodney replied, annoyed and frustrated. "Well done--that's absolutely destroyed me. How ever will I cope." He rolled his eyes, then, apparently uninterested in pressing for answers the kid was unwilling to give directly, opened his laptop and started bringing up information from their last multiverse incident.

[demcntwins]

Danny moved from his seat at Rodney's response, looking at the different things in the lab without any care for his reaction. He wasn't touching anything, though, so he assumed that it would be fine. "You guys said we're in the Pegasus galaxy. How'd you end up more than 3 million lightyears from Earth? And why do you call it Pegasus and not Andromeda? Is it cause Pegasus symbolizes inspiration instead of beauty? Because she symbolizes bravery to you know, takes a lot of that to hop skip, and jump to 3 million lightyears from home."

How he managed to get enough breath to say all of that without pausing was anyone's guess, he assumed it had something to do with the half ghost thing. He'd started floating around the room well he looked at things and spoke, figuring that it didn't matter if people millions of lightyears from an earth that wasn't even his knew about his powers.

[cleverestofclevermen]

"I didn't name the galaxy," he responded, only glancing back long enough to make sure the kid wasn't already elbow-deep in something insanely dangerous. "I just found the address." He paused, focused on skimming a document for a half-remembered bit of information, then he spun back around. "I still don't believe you could've gotten here without any knowledge of the stargate, but let's call it a system of wormhole machines, hmm? Did anyone feed you before they brought you down here? Do you even eat?" That was something all children did, right? Even irradiated ones?

[cleverestofclevermen]

If he hadn't been frozen from the sudden stab of pain, he would've taken a step back. As it was, he just looked terribly hurt for a second, then all the more annoyed. Still, Rodney listened as John kept talking, and he was able to piece together something about likely dementia and John having watched that pull someone in his family apart. Sure, that could be awful, but it was nothing compared to being the one in the middle of it.

"I'm never going to forget you," he said, trying to stay calm. "Even at the end, even when I couldn't remember how I knew you, I still knew you, you idiot. Aren't you supposed to have a brain in there, Colonel Mensa?" Rodney kind of still wanted to back away, but he stepped uncomfortably closer instead, right into John's space. "You are unforgivably stupid if you think you're ever getting rid of me." Because although he wouldn't actually spell this bit out for anyone, Rodney knew exactly how much, when he'd been scared and forgetting, he'd wanted no one more than he'd wanted John.

[spideystark]

John resisted the urge to snap again, because he knew the assumption that Rodney was making. It was the same assumption that Nancy had made when he tried telling her, the same assumption that everyone made when he tried to tell them and he just went along with. It was so much easier that way, going along with what they thought he meant than pushing the truth and not being believed.

When he stepped into his space he was still trying to decide if pushing what he meant was worth it or not, what would it change? But then he needed to distract himself. “It wasn't dementia, Rodney.” It wasn't as if it was the first time Rodney had gotten a little too close. This felt different though, he couldn't help but wonder what he thought he could have said or done that would have him avoiding him?

[cleverestofclevermen]

"Okay," he replied, his posture gentling just slightly in a way that gave John an extra half-inch of his space back without Rodney actually stepping back. Was John finally going to talk to him? He wasn't a particularly good listener generally, according to all his exes, his sister, and multiple therapists, but he could make an effort when it was important. "So tell me what it was." His eyes searched John's face with an intensity he usually only applied to ancient technology he was trying to puzzle out, but he kept his hands firmly at his sides.

Most military men weren’t great with feelings and talking, sure, but most of them seemed willing to go for it anyway, awkward and unsure or not. John was smart and careful, so maybe… “Don’t toy with me, John. If you’re just going to change your mind, I want nothing to do with this. And you’ve seen what I’m like in relationships–I’m not going to magically get better for you.” The hope in his throat made it terribly difficult to push the words out, and it didn’t exactly aid breathing, but there was barely-restrained agony there too, under the surface, waiting to pour through him at the first sign of rejection.

[spideystark]

“I’m not toying with you, Rodney.” The frustration in his voice had very little to do with Rodney or even the conversation itself, and had everything to do with the fact that he didn’t have answers. He’d realized he cared, that he had feelings for him even - but he’d also resolved himself to pushing them down and ignoring them.

“I haven’t exactly thought about any of this, I realized it and shoved it down because if I were to tell you? We’re stuck here together no matter how you respond.” And he didn’t want to make it weird or awkward because he couldn’t keep his feelings to himself.

[cleverestofclevermen]

I'm not toying with you. John liked him. John wanted him. Rodney didn't have a clue what to do with that. "Yes," he said finally. "We're stuck here. With each other." But if John hadn't decided by now that he wanted nothing to do with him... He didn't think 'stuck together' was really such a bad thing. Hope bubbled up inside him from somewhere, but their feelings, individual or combined, weren't the only barrier to them having more from each other. "What about your men? If someone finds out, are you going to be relieved of command and shipped off back to Earth?"
