I will not associate with you if you are a member of the proshipping / comshipping / FAIA sphere. I've had bad experiences with them in the past, and I don't want that sort of thing anywhere near me due to my own morals.
I don't really give a shit about what you do otherwise. Rules may be added on at any time, though I will usually make a post on the dash mentioning that the rules have been updated.
I'd prefer if you didn't associate with me if you also associate with mam3tzwood / will / whatever his name or url is currently. I have my own reasons for this, which I am not going into here. (replace the 3 with an e.)
I will try to practice reblog karma to the best of my ability. I trust that you may do the same, though I will try not to mind it too much if you don't.
I'm keeping my text to normal size, since small text has an issue involving screenreaders, and I'd like for other people to be able to read threads, y'know? Everyone should be able to roleplay, if that makes sense.
Don't worry too much about spelling.
If you softblock me and want to roleplay again, you'll have to make the first move in following me. This is entirely due to me not wanting to overstep on boundaries - not intending on vagueing anyone in the RPC, it's more towards so that I don't make myself overly anxious about overstepping any boundaries.
that's about it.
post detailing on verses and such is over here.
i'm also the guy behind a couple masterlists of rp blog url ideas.
oh, also. this specific version of dante uses they/them pronouns only. i don't mind if you use he/him for other versions of dante using that pronoun set, but i do try to keep to canonical pronoun referral here - they have only been referred to as they/them so far.
This is a public callout post for users Paradox (@rushifaas – previously @mournins ; @beliisms), Blue (@divinebetrayed ; @halcyonfought), Jay (@loyalbetrayed) and Bird (@soulsbetrayed). They are active in the fandoms Persona, Fire Emblem, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Danganronpa, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor, Sentai, Power Rangers, and Kamen Rider.
Never in my 15 years of roleplaying have I met a group of abusers and enablers so toxic, and this post is a PSA so that I can hopefully keep others from falling into their hands. Please blacklist them ALL for your own safety, however, DO NOT ENGAGE THEM WITH HARASSMENT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
Keep in mind, Paradox’s actions are so egregious, he is already getting charges pressed against him by two different people he abused so far, and more may be on the horizon. The rest all enable this behavior and defend him despite all that he’s done to harm them and people they previously called friends. While this callout has snapshots of receipts proving our claims sprinkled in at the mention of them, for full transparency, the full comment chains will be uploaded at the end so that context for everything will be supplied, with censoring only provided for those who have nothing to do with the conflict and wish to be left out of it.
Strong trigger warning for mob mentality, mental and emotional manipulation, emotional abuse, emotional neglect, transphobia, pedophilia, ableism, and a lot more. Details under the cut. (7,300+ words, be mindful)
[Gdoc link in case Tumblr’s formatting is unreadable]
UPDATE: Paradox deleted his old blogs and is now located @rushifaas. Please be warned. We also updated a few of the fandoms the group is active in and adjusted the tags to reflect this. Bird is also active in the Sentai / Kamen Rider fandoms, which the original callout did not reflect. WE WILL LET YOU KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY CHANGES THAT NEED TO BE REFLECTED HERE.
Paradox user Rushifaas has been popping up on the dash a lot as of late, so I’m going to reblog this once more just to make sure that people see it.
Reminder that this is someone who admitted that he wanted to drive one of my friends to commit suicide, and basically made the argument that because a 14 year old girl is “technically” at the age of sexual maturity, it “doesn’t count as pedophilia”.
sometimes i will post inbox calls, starter calls or interaction calls and i will happily begin … when i have muse for it, and sometimes i will lack muse, and i may forget about it all.
that is not because of you, the other part.
forgetfulness is something that we often frown upon, take as an insult directly towards us as a person. “but they never write to me”, “they always forget about me”, “i’m not gonna interact because they always forget” and while these things are totally valid, it must be said that forgetting things are human. not only is it human, but we should allow role players to be forgetful every now and then, simply because many, if not all, have lives outside of Tumblr that require a lot of them.
my forgetfulness is never directed towards you as a person.
my forgetfulness is never directed towards your creations.
sometimes i forget because …
i am tired.
i have a lot on my mind.
i get lost in other tasks.
i have to prioritize.
i bite over more than i can chew.
i simply forget.
therefore it must be said, have patience. reach out. don’t just sit back and huff about how you “always seem to be forgotten”. some folks have a lot on their minds, and that needs to be allowed.
umm okay do we still do promos like this? either way please LIKE OR REBLOG if you're interested in a semi-priv multimuse blog ! my blog includes characters from project moon, final fantasy, fire emblem, mxtx's works, zelda, hypmic and mhyk among others. reblogging this would really help me find people to rp with!! rules. charas.
Reposting my Stuck In Heaven rant here because that does not deserve to stay on Twitter. Will warn that I think the logic is a bit faulty and I’ve tried my best to clarify, but I still believe in the general concept of it.
Warning for major spoilers for Library of Ruina and Lobotomy Corporation. (It’s your favorite girl! Of course she does this.)
Isn't it interesting that Don is definitely not a leader? I mean, she can lead and does a decent job with it, but it's a task that is extremely difficult for her.
Her Shi version, Director in charge of her own team, is the most miserable and tired version of her. It's a version that slips most of the time in voicelines, showing us some truth behind her mask. She outright says how she dislikes that responsibility
At the same time, her N Corp version, the one who joined cult, which forces her to follow an extremely strict set of rules, is the happiest one.
We can, of course, consider that it's because of mind control drug Kraust use, but in NDon's story, it was stated that she became a perfect little Inquisitor the second she joined them. Her faithfulness creeps out other members of the cult. She never had to suffer any punishment. Not even Rodion, I guess the second happiest person in this this universe, if we don't count Kraust, can't say the same.
Her basic and W Corp versions stay in the middle where they are not in control, but at the same time, no one holds perfect control over them. And as we can see, they are way better(at least at lying) than ShiDon. But at the same time, we know from WDon story that she's not really satisfied with how her job turns out.
Also, it seems weird because the original her, in contrast, is horrible in following orders (was horrible, in the event and IV she didn't bring any problems). But I kinda think it's because Vergilius refuses to lie her, saying they do something good. If he made even a blatant lie, she would happily accept it.
It seems for me that she both wants to be a good person, hero of justice, but in the same time she doesn't really want to be the one who makes decision in that question, especially when black and white start to mix up, especially when other people depend on her.
So Kraust who would do all judgment for her, and at the same time passionately say that it's for greater good is the most suitable leader for her.
(Also makes me think about theories about her being Sancho, a servant and follower of a person who claimed to bring justice.)
moving observation threads from twitter to here because site's on fire now lmao.
i think its interesting that don quixote’s current ids are all two sides of an extreme that comes from her current incarnation’s middle ground of deluded, but not mad, yet still deaf to the reality of the city and its fixers.
disclaimer that i haven't finished don quixote yet, i'm still partway through reading, but i have seen and listened to summaries.
first, w corp and shi association
this is the don quixote that has been swung too far and too hard into reality that it breaks her (admittedly, one much harder than the other, but still). much like throwing a child into a whirlpool to teach them how to swim, don quixote is plunged deep headfirst into the innate cruelty and suffering that the city runs on.
w corp don shows us the moment where she breaks. (a note, the way the narrator reads here is quite perfect for the city, no? the truth behind the carriages is something to be abhorred and disgusted by, but because this is the nightmare hypercapitalist hellscape that is the city, it is merely something to take disgust at once and learn to deal with it.)
shi association don quixote is the one that's already far, far too deep in the hole to ever go back to her old self. just took several baseball bat hits to her psyche for years and years. of course, how could this not happen? it takes a maniac to think that assassinating people on the whims of whoever pays you no questions asked is how an idealized hero of justice should act.
she can still act like her usual, jovial self, cracking jokes and being happy, but this mask is much thinner, and is such; just a mask hiding her true, broken self. she cannot unsee what has been seen, and her ideals have to contend with the reality that she is seeing. she can try to abide by those once lofty, knightly ideals, but in these ids, the city will crush it over and over again.
(hey fun fact i did this study/observation because i noticed that w corp don quixote's out of combat passive is called "broken spirit". for a long time i assumed it was n sinclair's until i looked closer lmao)
and now we have n corp don quixote!
this is the delusion cranked to an absolute maximum, uncaring, unhearing, unseeing of everything but whatever justice she deems fit. there is no person more terrifying than one who commits atrocities fully believing that they are in the right.
how don quixote could even end up like this, i think is quite possible. i would think that for someone who idealizes justice, just the right words, the right kind of manipulation can easily sway her into nagel und hammer's fold. i certainly find it a likelihood that the one who grips faust could just go "heyyyy we're good guys trust us we're the true justice :)" but like you know with more tact and manipulation and don quixote would probably fall very hard into that.
ironically, by falling, she betrays the ideals that once guided her, but being fed nagel und hammer's doctrine like this, i imagine that she still wholly believes that this is justice, this is the ideal, not noticing that what she once was is dug so far and deep into her delusion that it is not even by her own will that she walks, it is now the one who shall grip faust that will tell her call her to heel or run or attack.
for a bit of fun symbolism, in the story for nagel und hammer donqui, she still wears rocinante (her sweet sneaks bro!!!) under her armour.
if don quixote states as such, that they are comrades that bring justice together, then she has failed. that justice is long gone and buried under doctrine, and the final remnant of that justice, rocinante, has been covered up in the armour of an inquisitor, never to tread the earth nor see that ideal justice enacted ever again.
with all this, i conclude that i think that what don quixote's story will be about is the balance of seeing reality in front of her for what it is, learning how to accept this and yet still stand strong and sturdy despite it, holding onto those hopeful ideals that guided her so far and continues to guide her without straying from her path.
i think she shall grow into someone who the city can harm her as much as it likes, but no matter what, she will not bow nor break.
Hong Lu’s the only one to have an odd similarity to an abno in Yang: Yang is made by chinese backer to Hong Lu is based on chinese book, Yang is able to heal sp and Hong Lu’s skills heals sp for himself, When Yang breaches, it shown to have a jade colored eye and of course Hong Lu’s own jade eye as well
Anon, there is actually a lot more to it than you think. Yes, all of what you say is true (except for the backer part, Yin and Yang aren't backer abnormalities, but according to the LobCorp wiki they were contributed by the chinese translation team, so that still kinda works?), but there's more to this.
For one, you can't talk about Yang without mentioning its counterpart, Yin, which has a red eye when it breaches - which one could potentially connect to Hong Lu's red-eyed brother, Jia Huan.
Two - the water motifs. Oh my god can I just talk about Hong Lu's water motifs.
So, obviously, Yin and Yang take on a fish-like form when breaching. This connects to Hong Lu's ridiculous amounts of water themes. Like seriously man has more water motifs than Ishmael, the fucking sailor.
Allow me to list them. Hong Lu's Base E.G.O attack animation has him seemingly walk on water and summon a downpour from some sort of ribbon. The window in his Base E.G.O art shows a view of what seems to be his home behind a body of water. The chair he sits on in that art has engraved waves on it. The main promo art of his base Identity has him walk on wet ground in an area covered in mist. His symbol has a cloud motif.
Oh, and also Three - Yin-yang is like, a pretty notable concept in Taoism, right? You know what touches on Taoism quite frequently? Hong Lu's source.
Like, it's one thing for a Sinner to have heavy thematic connections to an Abnormality, like Ryoshu and Spider Bud with the whole "cruel but extremely protective of family" theme. However, this shit is like. On another level. Dear lord.
Look. He got me. He got me bad. I can’t explain just how badly he got me. There is so much I want to dissect about him. So you know what?
This is going to be my first Identity Analysis. Fuck it we ball.
Before I get into it though, let me make myself clear: unlike E.G.O Analysis, I will not be taking Identity Analysis requests. This is because Identities inherently come with A Lot more content to analyse, and it’s not really something I’m willing to sit down and do at the whim of anyone and everyone. E.G.O Analyses already take me a while to do. I hope you guys can understand that.
With that out of the way, let’s get into it. Cue Game Theory intro or some shit.
