Before anything else, knowing that this blog is a side blog is mandatory so you don’t hard-block my personal main by mistake. Refer to rule 16 on what my main is.
These rules may be changed at any time. Ignorance of the rules is not an excuse for breaking them.
1) There will be no NSFW/explicit content here. Dark themes will still be present due to the nature of the Cookie Run universe.
These themes are usually veiled behind world-appropriate terms (IE berry/sparkling/grape juice, strawberry jam, soggy, crumbled/crumbling, etc) if not an obvious example depicted in specific canonical characters and plots (IE Dark Flour War, St. Pastry Order, Cookies of Darkness, Land of Silence, the Witch, etc).
Stronger dark themes (usually those that involve severe injuries or untimely death) will be tagged as needed. If you need something else tagged, DM me. I’ll either make a tag for it, or a “mun filter tag” so you just have to block that one tag.
2) No god-modding, meta-gaming, power-playing, or other similar actions unless we discuss it beforehand.
I will discuss this with you too or make it very clear that I intend to do so if I’m planning stuff for a thread where such elements are necessary as plot devices, and I will play along if you tell me that you intend to do so too.
While I am fine with being on the losing end of a fight, strongarming the whole encounter without discussing the thread’s events is a big no-no. Unless we basically agree that it’s a one-sided match, mix it up a bit! If you use RNG like dice, I will too in order to keep it fair.
Muse shipping between muns will fall under the same umbrella of discussion; it will not happen or advance prominently unless we discuss it first.
3) Due to the presence of potentially dark topics, this blog is an 18+ zone.
Minors will either be given less priority or soft-blocked. Those attempting to rudely dispute my decisions will be hard-blocked.
4) Direct messages are for plotting, one-on-one talk, silliness behind closed doors, and gaming talk.
I will not roleplay through them.
Wanna chat on Discord? If we’re mutuals, just tell me what your username is so I know who to watch for. Likewise, I’m building a server for us to hang out and roleplay some more, so be patient. Otherwise, just DM me and we’ll set things up.
Looking to add me? Unless I drop a friend code or similar, just DM me. We’ll talk there. Likewise, tell me what your username is so I can add you properly.
5) Reply length and text styling don’t matter; accurate grammar does. Make sure it’s legible so I don’t have a migraine trying to understand it.
English is my first language, and the one I will RP in by default.
Proper grammar is expected in threads regardless of the length of your post.
6) Crossovers, original characters, alternate parallels, muse doubles, and non-mutuals are welcome and encouraged.
7) One ask, reply, or @ is all you need to make a starter or to nudge me regardless of the source or plot.
One DM or @ after at least a week is what you’ll get from me when I’m nudging YOU.
While I do my best to respond quickly, rapid responses aren’t always on the table.
I’m 25, have a job and financial obligations IRL, and sometimes have my own stress & baggage like everyone else, so that takes priority.
Need to know something about any of my muses or any of their alt verses that isn’t already written down? Ask and you shall receive, and I’ll update the profile with it too.
If something’s going wrong, you want to drop a thread, might pause a thread, need something tagged, or simply don’t want to continue something, just tell me. I won’t be mad.
However, I will be mad if you simply ghost me and cut contact. It’s already happened before, and it brings about the Bad Stuff while making me lose any kind of respect I had for you.
While I might have colder feet making the first move if we don’t know each other, I will sometimes send a starter to such people to take the leap if I have time, and I may make starter calls (including permanent interaction calls) in the future.
If you’re responding to a starter call as a multi-muse, please specify the muse you want me to send a starter for and who you want it from unless I specified which muse the starter is for. Choose your muses, or I’ll choose for you.
TLDR: I WILL be slow at times for varying reasons as life happens. Nudge me if you want so I don't forget your thread if I don't respond after a while. Trust me, I'm not deliberately ignoring the moots, life just gets busy.
9) The actions done by the muses don't necessarily reflect the actions or opinions of the mun unless they’re tagged to be speaking on my behalf.
Some of my muses might be jerks, but that doesn’t always mean I’m a jerk IRL (especially if we’re cool with each other and/or really close mutuals).
The tag for muses speaking for me directly as the mun is #on the mun’s behalf.
10) Personal or fandom blog following me?
I’m cool with you following me, liking my posts, sending me asks and memes, and reblogging anything that isn’t a roleplaying thread, mun ask memes included.
Comments on this blog and my other RP blogs are generally set to “me following you” or “you followed this blog for a week.” Don’t try to hijack threads with comments, especially if the other person didn’t consent to it.
Do not spam my activity feed with mass-likes/reblogs and so on. Big numbers make me think something big happened, which isn’t always a good thing.
Make your roleplaying side blogs known to me if you have any so I know where to send a response if you’re looking for an interaction. Likewise, don’t reblog the roleplaying threads (unless they’re yours).
11) Nudges or asks about panhandling, IRL politics, or drama will be ignored, deleted in the inbox regardless of verification status if it’s in there, and the user possibly blocked/reported for spam.
This is because I have nothing to contribute, and because this is a roleplaying blog. This is not a donation-boosting blog for random people. Signal-boosting is for mutuals only.
Abuse of the ask box through Anon Hate or virtual panhandling may result in the option to use the anon toggle or the ask box altogether being disabled for everybody, and possibly in you being blocked. Don’t be the one who ruins my trust in the anons.
Save the drama for muse-on-muse conflict in-character, and leave mun drama, IRL politics, and unnecessary hate between muns in the Oven.
I will not take sides on anything political or drama-related here, especially that which does not involve me directly, regardless of whether it may be a political issue or unresolved conflicts between other muns. Those who push me on responding to such things may be at risk of being blocked at my personal discretion. I am more than capable of making choices for myself and I reserve every right to exclude myself from being the middleman in mun-to-mun drama where I am not otherwise involved.
12) Mentions of elements pertaining to various aspects of a military setting may appear from time to time, although solely as worldbuilding elements.
Any mentions of materiel, existing or fictitious militaries and adjacent classifications, particular time periods that may have occurred IRL, and other instruments of war (IE artillery, planes, battleships, etc.) may happen due to named mentions with historical contexts (yes, I DO take the time to conduct my own research), because I play other online mobile games that feature such things, or because they are being utilized as an element of worldbuilding for a FICTITIOUS SETTING in my lore writings.
All such militia or political-related factors written in-character are written as SEPARATED from ALL IRL politics that may happen in the present day, and I exercise the right to omit or alter select elements of these devices as needed.
There will be no mentions of or allusions to current IRL politics or geographical conflicts on this blog regardless of what elements may fall under this conceptual umbrella. If such events seem to appear, they are either historical mentions (once again, with prior research conducted before anything is written) away from the current time period, or completely fictional events based on things like those written as plot devices in video games and anime.
13) In order to properly trace back the source of an ask prompt/meme, try to have it linked or sourced in your ask, especially if it wasn’t recently brought up and I might be missing context.
It makes things easier for me on my end so I know where you got it from.
If I reblogged the meme from you directly (and you don’t have a rule that clearly says to not reblog memes from you), expect an ask on it from @derpytoad almost immediately. That one’s my main and the way I send memes and ask starters for this blog.
If the meme or ask prompt is intended for a muse, MENTION WHO THE MEME’S FOR. Unless I know who you’re going for because we’ve interacted for a while, I can’t read your mind.
You can reblog it from me, but I’m also asking that you send it in if you do. Otherwise, reblog it from the source if you can or tag your reblog as #op deleted.
14) Interested in a muse and can’t wait for a starter call or open RP post?
TELL ME. I can’t read your mind and see that you’re interested from there alone. I can’t work with what I don’t know. Tag me in a starter. Send an ask. Message me. Anything goes. If I can see where you’re going with it, I’ll see what I can do with it.
15) I am essentially unable to trim posts since I’m completely mobile-bound on Tumblr, and X-Kit does not work on Chrome/Firefox/Orion on my iPad. Trust me, I tried.
If I do find a way to trim them myself, I will make the effort to try trimming them myself. Otherwise, I will just clip reblogs between the “top post” and my reblog if the stack goes 5+ posts long.
16) @derpytoad is this blog’s main blog. That blog will follow you back on behalf of this blog, like your posts, and send asks.
Other RP blogs created under @derpytoad are larger-group fandom-grouped (or fandomless lore-building/OC-primary/pseudo-wiki) RP blogs with the possibility of AU verses for other characters.
This blog will still reblog posts and send responses to threads.
17) Spoilers for the games’ stories may or may not be tagged.
This is usually dependent on things like main story weight and overall impact, date of the story’s release, characters involved, and plot twists involved.
Stories that have been released less than a month ago will be reviewed and given a spoiler tag prior to posting. Plotting talks involving these points will go over this rule’s application.
Canonical continuity will be considered and discussed as needed prior to any starters being made for specific users or as an open opportunity.
18) If rules from the unified blogroll/lore document conflict with rules here, those rules take precedence.
Conflicting rules will be corrected afterwards.
