Hello! I know you're not active, and might not see this message in a while, but I thought I'd chance to ask it either way. I wanted to ask a trans person, since cis people aren't really in a place to answer this question: Is it okay to use a cis FC for a trans OC?

Hm, I would really say it’s much better to try to find a trans actor.  It’s definitely inappropriate to use a cis man as an FC for a trans woman, and a cis woman as an FC for a trans man.  That (in my opinion) is akin to casting cis men as trans women.  It further promotes the (transmisogynist) idea that trans women are just cis men in dresses.

It is harder to find trans actors/celebrities but they do exist.

I'm on hiatus so I don’t have all the links and everything, but I know there are some masterposts.

Sorry it took so long and the answer’s kinda shitty, but I haven’t actually logged in in months.

I just logged in on a whim, I’m not actually back!

So sorry to everyone who sent me requests/asks, I’ll get back to you, even though it’s probably too late.

CHARACTER GRAPHIC 15: I THINK I'M FINALLY CLEAN

I made this last night and honestly like idk I think it’s pretty cute. It should be easy enough to put together but if you need any help just ask. If you wanna switch up the layout or move around the text, that’s cool. Feel free to just it your own if you want. You don’t have to give me credit if you use this, but it would be nice! By the way, save it as a png if you want it to be transparent. ALSO I FORGOT TO SAY the psd was made by wasirauhlpsds so credits to them!

like/reblog if you download

don’t redistribute/claim as your own

edit as much as you want for personal use

And I'm still getting 10+ people a day on my page, despite not posting since July wow wow wo

[constellationrph-blog]

Ok wow so I haven't posted since JULY?!?

I'm so sorry for being absent so long, esp. to people I used to talk to and shit.  Wow.  I just haven't been roleplaying in so long, and I don't see myself getting back into it right now.  I'm in my first semester at college and I barely have time to breathe.  

Besides that, I've been having trouble writing for some reason.  I've been working on a fanfic for a few months and I just only get a few lines done every few days or even weeks.

I'll probably disappear for another few months like the shit I am, but I keep feeling bad for abandoning you all, especially when I come back to see activity still in my notes like every single day, and new people following me.

To all my new followers, I can't promise a lot of activity on this account but I am so flattered that you all followed me!

Maybe I'll start posting about my fanfic here, to try and continue w/ some activity?  I dunno

How to Fix Time and Continuity Problems

It’s very important to make sure your readers have a clear idea when something is happening, whether or not you jumped forward or backward in time, and how those events are connected time-wise. A big mistake that a lot of beginning writers make is not establishing time correctly, which could lead to a confusing story.

It can be a bit jarring when you’re reading a book and you come across a sentence like this— Two years had passed. The author is stating when something has happened and making it clear, but you still feel like you were robbed of two years of your character’s life. However, if it’s done well, the author will be able to cut out unnecessary information and get right to the action. Don’t skip ahead in the narrative unless you have a good reason to do it. Is there nothing happening during those two years that you need to explain? Is there a reason why you skipped ahead (something happened during those two years that you want to reveal later)? A huge jump in time needs some sort of explanation. It’s fine if you want to do it and many authors have made it work, but make sure you do it correctly.

Decide what timeline you want your story to exist in. This doesn’t mean you have to write out 10,000 years before and after your story takes place, but you need to decide how many years you generally want to cover. Does your story take place over the protagonist’s entire life? Does the story take place in one year? One day? Really anything is acceptable. Take the time to read stories that cover these timelines. Read a story that takes place in a day, a month, a year, etc. This will help you get an idea on how to pace your story and what can be done in a short or long amount of time.  Experiment with your timelines.

The best place to skip ahead in time is often during chapter breaks. Use chapter breaks to your advantage and to show that time has passed. For example, you can end one chapter where your character is finishing up some sort of space training (I don’t know why I picked this example, but let’s go for it!) and then have the next chapter start out with your character IN SPACE and on a SPACE MISSION. If it’s not necessary for your readers to know what happened in between and there are clear transitions/explanations for time passing, then you’re good to go. This is also a great way to put action into your story without any boring, unnecessary details.

Using terms like “A few days later…” and “By the next morning” will help you show short amounts of time passing within certain chapters. You will not be writing about every single action your character takes, so these will be necessary. It’s up to you to decide when you should use them and when you should cut out certain actions. Whatever is dragging your story down, cut it out.

Some people asked me how I made the typer effect in this graphic. So here’s a tutorial! Just saying that this might need your patience especially if you’ve got a lot of word to “type”! 

Ok let’s start it :)

description (on slide-out)

80px sidebar icon

up to 9 links (pop-up window)

250px to 500px posts

tiny cursor

pagination icon

permalink button

corner image

posts fade in as you scroll down

change “asked” text to e.g. “said”

extra message (on icon hover)

rules & notes [important!]: accidentally, i uploaded earlier codes of this onto my pastebin on public, so those of you who are using it prior to my publishing on tumblr will experience glitches. (and using it without my say.) also, in the customize page only, the script i use to fade-in posts makes it look like the images are invisible. all you need to do is scroll down a little in the preview and images will load. this would not happen in your live blog. i made the pixel icons at the top, please do not steal. the same rules apply just like with the other themes. feel free to ask any questions but leave my credit alone~

please like/reblog this post! ♥
