Official Hiatus.

i think i’m gonna finally come out and officially say it, i’m probably not going to be coming back to this blog. after 2 years, my interest in rping and the vld rpc has slowed down significantly and i’m not sure many people are really interested in my interpretation anymore. i’ve explored sendak’s character almost fully and am looking to different characters to make interpretations of anyway.

plus, life for me has gotten increasingly more difficult for me over these years and its been very hard to maintain an rp blog. if i do come back to rping on tumblr, it will most likely be when i have a lot more time and will probably involve very different characters. if you really like my writing, you can keep up with my writing on my ao3 where i’m currently working on several larger fics on my own schedule.

if you’d like to keep with me and possibly rp when i have the time you can send me an IM for me to send you my discord. this blog will most likely stay up for at least the near future for my own purpose of coming back for references.

i love you all. thank you for making my time here so great. -possum

therapy / talking about trauma / post - trauma starters. feel free to change things as necessary. 

would you like to talk about it?

please tell me what’s bothering you.

hey, are you okay?

i don’t have to know everything. just what you’re comfortable telling me.

i’m your friend. of course i care.

there’s nothing bad about going to therapy.

would you like to try a different approach?

i – i didn’t know that. i’m sorry.

is this helping?

i’ll try not to ask a lot of questions.

i’m always here if you need me.

shh, it’s alright. shh. 

we’re safe now. you’re safe now.

it was just a nightmare.

sweetheart, you have to tell me these things.

you know i’d never judge you for that, right?

i’m worried about you.

is something going on? 

everything you say will just be between you and me.

what method do you prefer?

do you need help falling asleep?

anything i could do to help?

why are you like this?

i understand. 

sweetie, is there something you aren’t telling me? what’s wrong?

let’s get you cleaned up.

this is good. this is important. 

you’re healing, and healing takes time. 

we can do more tomorrow.

how about you get some sleep, hm?

bedtime.

it’s ok not to be ok.

tomorrow is another day.

hey, hey, hey. look at me, look at me. it’s okay.

breath in for seven seconds, exhale for eleven …

do you need some space?

remember, look for things that you can touch. ground yourself.

OKAY!  So!  Here’s the thing: @deception-and-disgrace is made of wonderful.  They routinely allow me to bounce up to ‘em in Discord to yammer at them about possible plots, ask questions about their Sendak, or just talk about any ol’ thing. 

They have a pretty good take on Sendak and Antok (their OCs) and I enjoy reading (and especially writing in) their threads!

All in all: A+, 10/10, would befriend again

[deception-and-disgrace]

ambi-baako, holding up little sendak and his brother: do you think a depressed person could make this?

[cairis-in-the-field]

@deception-and-disgrace​ very kindly allowed me to write a ficlet involving his Sendak and my Cairis!

Here there be two grown damn Galra goofing about in the snow like the overgrown kits they are.

new thing:

xarrukan: gets too hot xarrukan brain: oh shit passes out

basically xarrukans have evolved to be constantly cold and knowing that if they’re warm, they’re probably safe. if they’re warm, they’re probably near a fire or curled up with their pack. most find sleeping while cold difficult because their brains are keeping them awake and aware so they can get to the safety of a fire or their packmates 

it mostly evolved around the facts that predators get more desperate when its colder and if you’re walking across a frozen lake, it helps if you’re hyper aware of every crack and creak of the ice.

[deception-and-disgrace]

that being said, heat can become deadly quickly

their fur is designed to take in heat and trap it, and it still does it even when they’re not cold. xarrukans can not handle temperatures above 80, at that point they will start showing symptoms of heat exhaustion. if they are left like this too long, they can progress to heat stroke. this could lead to being disoriented, nausea, seizures, loss of conciousness and even death.

xarrukans have been living not experiencing temperatures over 70 F (21 C) for over 10,000 years, their body doesn’t know how to handle temperatures over the usual. 

sendak has experienced this himself before, but luckily now his internal prosthetics can easily cool his body temperature if he begins to overheat.

you separate parts of your life based on trauma. you wait for a new disaster to mark your rebirth. you are forever tethered to ghosts of yourself.

so it looks like i might get into writing fanfic

A thing I didn't even consider until 5 minutes ago: how xarrukans would be affected by finally being proper allies with someone for the first time in their history.

Their relationship with the blade of marmora didn’t go far beyond the blade of marmora protecting them and the xarrukans providing them with more soldiers to fight with against zarkon. Being friendly to outsiders is quite the controversial topic. They’ve spent the last 12,000 years being resistant to any outside influence, why should they do so now?

At first, a few dozen Xarrukans would leave to act as representatives and to help the new Alliance in any way they can but I think most of them couldn’t leave. Their religion is vague about whether interacting with more technologically advanced civilizations and using their technology is okay or not, most xarrukans are divided upon the topic.

After a few decades, I think a decent chunk of them would have traveled to live in the Alliance as long as they’re allowed to practice their religion (allowed to hunt food for themselves, make their own clothing, and basically provide for themselves)

walcure‌:

❝ shh, just hold still… ❞ he’s approaching cautiously, hands raised to signify his only intentions are good ones. amber eyes occasionally flicker down to their wound. ❝ …let me help you. ❞

    A low growl rumbled in Sendak’s chest as he caught sight of a figure making their way towards him. Sounds entered his ears but he was far too disoriented to even attempt to try to understand what they were. He... He remembered being in a fight with someone, maybe a group of people, but it was all just vague flashes of memories. What the hell happened to him?

   The figure spoke to him more, but nothing much came through except the word “help”. Help, that’s what he needed. It was pretty obvious to himself that something was terribly wrong. Very slowly, he forced himself to relax and look less threatening. He couldn’t get the help he needed if his fur was all puffed up and he was growling up a storm.

late but sendak would 100% wear toeless socks
