That last chapter reminds me how much I miss tumblr rp. What I’ve heard about the indie scene really puts me off, but I think I want to give it a go. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, right :). 

 So, you can find me here musicmedicineminder.tumblr.com. This will be a multi muse blog for Rose, Nanao and Ryuken for the time being. I’m going to stick some rules up and pretty it up a little over the next few days.   As reluctant as I am to start a new blog and forfeit the time put into building up the three I have, I think it would be best, really. They’re attached to my personal tumblr for one, and I’d like to draw a line between indie and former group stuff.

In all honesty, I have no idea what I’m doing here or how to get the word out, let alone how to find partners. So if anyone feels like helping me out with a pity reblog or two or maybe even few pointers on how to get started, I would be grateful.

akonabides​:

“Right up here,” Akon replied, tapping his temple. At her continued look, he sighed. “Yes, I brought the plans as well, of course. It should be back down the hall, to the right. Come on.”

He hauled himself out of the bed and made his way through the massive building. His fingers itched for the familiar weight of a cigarette, but he grit his teeth and squashed the desire. He was trying to quit, and it was definitely bad form to smoke in someone else’s house.

Their path took them though a large banquet hall, into a kitchen and up to a large, closed walk-in freezer door. As he pulled it open, Akon couldn’t help but blink stupidly at the many shelves of food that greeted him.

“Well. I suppose that should keep the two of us for a while,” he said, raising his eyes and turning towards Nanao.

The two of them vacated the room, Nanao following a step behind, taking in the rooms around her with a serious, strategic approach. The client had been quite clear; they were here for the season, and the general interior upkeep would, more likely than not, fall to her. Although, she thought, the two of them entering the kitchen, there was likely to be very little for either of them to do here. 

She was deep into silent, mental, lists of inventory and potential repairs, when she first felt it. It was only a little thing; a flash in the corners of her vision, the odd, gradual sense of something behind her, watching the two of them make their way through the building. At first, it was easy enough to ignore. Nanao shook it off, went back to her lists, certain she was imagining it. It would go away soon. 

It persisted however. Began to creep up on her, until Nanao found her thoughts far, far away from the task at hand and centering back on the odd, insistent feeling of eyes boring into her back. She didn’t turn around, her eyes on Akon, confident that there was no-one else here but them, convinced it has to be her imagination. Wouldn’t they have heard someone else enter from here, she thought; the front door wasn’t too far from where they were. Wouldn’t they here footsteps, or some other sign of life? Although, she puzzled, if it was her imagination, then why did it feel so real? 

“Huh!?” 

Nanao shudderd, blinked, realizing he’d spoken and a question had been asked, but no idea what it was. She turned her head, glaring at a nondescript point somewhere in the distance, certain that’s where the watcher would have stood.  

“What was that?” 

[desk-work-expert-archive]

akonabides​:

Do You See Them?

“Yeah, that’s what I’ve heard as well.”

Akon flopped backwards onto the bed, relaxing for a few moments as he stared at the intricately-adorned ceiling. A soft smile played on his lips.

“I think the owners have been gone a week, maybe a bit more. Not gonna lie, I didn’t know what to expect. But it looks like this will mostly be upkeep. More like a vacation for the next couple of months, right?”

He propped himself up and rolled his neck.

“Let’s check out the rest of the house; I wanna know exactly what we are in for here. And definitely take stock of the food; they said they left enough for us, but I don’t wanna end up starving to death in a blizzard!”

Nanao turned away from the bed, hearing the sound of her companion sinking back deep against the luxurious sheets; clearly enjoying what they’d been left to oversee. Settling on the windowsill, Nanao glanced out across the grounds, nodding at the response, swallowing hard as she saw the miles of country stretching out in front on them; the town nowhere to be seen. The little spike of unease returned, becoming ever more familiar; although, as she thought of the weeks ahead, Nanao couldn’t quite but her finger on what made her so nervous. 

“That explains the cleanliness....” she wrinkled her nose “better than the last place, wouldn’t you agree?”

She looked over her shoulder at Akon, arms still crossed, but manged a smile.It was hard to stay too pensive when she knew she wasn’t alone. This would be just like all the others, there was nothing to worry about. 

“Yes, we should”  she slipped off the window sill and made her way to the door “You had the plans of this place, do you remember the way?”

Writing Commissions

[kangkorandkoloth]

kangkorandkoloth‌:

Sooo, this is new!

In light of the current pandemic, my being stuck at home and furloughed from my job until further notice, I’d like to do something to keep myself entertained and a little cash coming in. 

So… how am I going to do this? 

I now intend to take in a small amount of writing commissions.Further details are below the cut. 

My Fandoms

Bleach - this is where the bulk of my writing has focused for the last six years. 

Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler

Fire Emblem - Awakening, Sacred Stones, Radiant Dawn and Path of Radiance are the games I’m most familiar with 

Harry Potter - it’s been a while (like ten years), but I’ve written stuff for this fandom before 

His Dark Materials 

I am open to writing for other fandoms by negotiation. This will be looked at on a case by case basis and may incur an extra charge depending on how much research I’d need to do. I also do original fic, again this will be handled on a case by case basis with a bespoke price to reflect work undertaken. 

IMPORTANT STUFF UNDER THE CUT

I absolutely LOVE this Nanao I commissioned from @hakeism! They were super nice and have amazing art, so go and check them out if you've got time!

[desk-work-expert-archive]

Tsukishima

From Here || Accepting || If they had a kid meme

Name:

Fumiko Ise. Again Nanao’s choice (apparently means a variety of things from beautiful child to historical child, to intellectual according to wikipedia and depending on Kanji). Took Nanao’s surname as I’m not sure just how much Tsukishima would be around for this child. 

Gender:

Female (Ise curse, maybe this time the curse doesn’t work on humans or something, I’d Imagine Tsukishima is still around somehow)

General Appearance:

A nice mix of both her parents. A sharp, inquisitive face framed by long, dark hair and glasses. She has her mother’s eyes. Tall for a girl and a very lanky. Warm and approachable looking 

Personality:

A cool head with non of mother’s irritability. Slightly dark sense of humor which can give the wrong impression, but actually worries more about what people think of her and the well being of those around than they realise. Can be incredibly loyal to the people she cares most about. More concerned with appearances and conveying the right image than is probably wise. Has inherited her parents love of reading and is does well academically.

Special Talents:

An avid reader and an exceptional writer who was praised for this throughout her education. Prefers to write short stories over poetry. 

Who they like better:

Not necessarily like more, but is certainly closer to Nanao just because I can’t see Tsukishima being around as much as Nanao would be. That said, probably doesn’t have an awful relationship with her father and they get on reasonably well when they’re together.

Who they take after more:

Her mother, although you can definitely tell she’s her father’s daughter.

Personal Headcanon:

Like most women of the Ise household, she doesn’t have a Zanpakuto but like her mother, does have spiritual pressure and only only ends up attending the academy but graduates into the main Gotei 13 body. Serves in the 9th and makes regular contributions to the Seiteitei bulletin

🤰

From here|| accepting || @manipulativebookmark​

Send 🤰 for my character to either be pregnant with your character’s child OR have eaten way too much at a shared dinner with your character; the choice is mine

Nanao wrapped her hands around her teacup, bringing it to her lips and taking a shaky sip of the liquid within as she hum’d and nodded her way through their conversation. She was a prisoner of her own thoughts right now; weighing up various strategies and options while smiling on the outside, acting as if this was just another meeting between the two of them; a chance to discuss books or some other interest. 

The tea did nothing to steady her nerves. In fact the smell made her nauseous, exacerbating her wan, slightly drawn complexion and offering a hint that she was not quite herself. She’d felt unwell since the moment she’d woken up and being here with him, knowing what needed to be done before they parted company was not helping settled her stomach. 

Her head felt like a lead weight, thoughts swimming and brain wearied by the the news she had to tell; all the while Nanao slowly coming to the conclusion that there would be no comfortable way to do it. Part of her wondered if this wouldn’t feel so difficult  if they were facing this many years from now having known each other a long time. Perhaps with the benefit of time, the subject would have been easier to broach; she would at least know his opinion on starting a family and be forewarned if the idea of a baby would send him running for the hills. A happy well planed situation years from now was not what they were facing however, and Nanao knew she had to face this unknown before it was too late. Leave it too long and he was certain to work it out for himself anyway.

The sudden absence of his voice made Nanao look up sharply,  painfully aware she had no idea when he’d stopped talking or in fact anything he’d said in the last few minutes . She floundered for something to say,blushing at having been caught out,  but gave up quickly and mumbled an apology. She let out a sigh, aware that her distraction had managed to gain his full attention and it wouldn’t be too much longer before he began to question what was on her mind.  This presented Nanao with a window of opportunity and she knew that she couldn’t put it off any longer.

“Tsukishima?” she said after a moment, trying to sound offhand and matter of fact, but failing miserably. Her voice was unnaturally quiet,  her eyes wide, betraying a little of her anxiety “I have some news, something you need to know“

[desk-work-expert-archive]

allplotsend‌:

The heightened emotions of the wait were visible in Nanao’s body language when Tsukishima raised his eyes, and the relief was plain once he finished talking. But she’d posed him a new question, one that was easy enough to answer.

“I didn’t mean to imply that any help from me would step on your autonomy… I did offer to be involved, even if the specifics were a bit vague for your comfort at the moment,” Tsukishima gave her an understanding smile to show he meant no derision with the comment before continuing. 

“But had I reacted by, well, assuming that you needed any specific thing from me, be that emotional or financial support, or by fussing, or even by making plans that will affect your life while you’re obviously, understandably, still off-center - I think that would have been a bit heavy-handed of me.” 

Tsukishima watched her interaction with her drink, already reaching for it as Nanao asked for it to be removed. “Of course,” he responded before making short work of disposing of the tea and asking the barista for a water as replacement. 

But he looked around doubtfully as he set the water in front of her. “Do you really want to talk here, Nanao? I don’t mind waiting to discuss the particulars until we’re someplace less … aromatic … and more private,” he offered, seemingly in concern. “I think we got the most pressing bit over for the moment, at least.”

“Here isn’t ideal…”

Nanao took the water, feeling immeasurably better now that the over-powering stench of the tea was out of her vicinity. Her voice trailed off in favour of taking a deep sip from the glass, still not herself but more able to focus on what needed to be said and done with everything out in the open.

“ever since…” she shrugged her shoulders, tried for a smile, more confident in telling him all this all of this  now that the hard part was out of the way, but it came out more like a grimace “nothing really smells quite right and places like this make it worse”

She sighed, the glass held weakly in her hand. In her head, she’d feel better if they talked more, nut didn’t exactly want to stay here either. He did have a point she conceded, but her limited knowledge of this realm and the surrounding area really hindered her from suggesting another venue. This was his realm, his neighborhood and Nanao was at a loss. She knew this café, because that was where he always bought her when he suggested they meet. There’d been other places, of course but Nanao didn’t relish the idea of going to a hotel either. In a way it was easier to stay whether she liked it or not, and any move would need to be directed by him.

“where would you suggest?” she asked, wearily “you’re right the most important bit is out of the way… I’d just feel better if we started to make a plan of some sort”

If they had a kid!

 From Here || accepting || @lying-prophet​

Name: 

Ise, Himeko - Nanao insisted on her family name. There’s no real rhyme or reason behind the given name other than Nanao liked it. Possible meaning for the Kanji (卑弥呼 according to wikipedia) is sun and Rice child or Princess child.

Gender:

Female (Ise curse, so no other option. AS with all of these I’m assuming Kisuke worked out a way to overcome the male death thing. How? Science)

General Appearance:

Lanky and a little on the scrawny side, long dark hair like her mother  with a slight kink to it which she cuts to a something a little shorter by the time she’s a teen. A small, kind of pixie like face that often gets swamped by her hair. Unusual eyes which come from a relative - they’re green rather than the indigo or grey that her parents have. 

Personality:

Quite stoic like her mother but with her father’s sense of creativity. Rather reserved and one of the more quiet personalities in her friendship group. She is however, very good with people and has a reasonably large circle of friends. Has inherited her mother’s love of reading and is a bit of a worrier. Was quite an anxious as a younger child and although that got better the older she got, she never really shook it off completely. A little bit of a people pleaser, out of liking to know the people she cares about are okay but can stand up for herself when she needs to (sometimes this needs to be pointed out to her) 

Special Talents:

Excels at kido just like her mother and is also a skilled negotiator at times. This can be hindered at times due her need not to upset anyone if she can, but is nevertheless rather shrewd when it comes to negotiating the best price on something and would do reasonably well if she went into sales and marketing.

Who they like better:

Closer to her mother but in no means estranged from her father. It’s just that she finds Nanao’s steadiness kind of comforting and Kisuke’s laidback-ness and sense of humor a little harder to deal with at times.  

Who they take after more:

A nice balance of both when it comes to her personality . Nanao’s seriousness with Kisuke’s ability to think outside the box and innovate. Physically however, she looks very much like her father. 

Personal Headcanon:

Has a fascination with the world of the living (influenced in no small part by her father living there and his tales of various exploits) and actually became quite close to the remaining Vizord living there growing up (prior to her return to soul society to become 8th division, Lisa took her under her wing and read with her just like she did with Nanao). Decided to go live with her father as an older teen and can be found hanging round the shoten as an adult (while regularly sending butterflies back to her mother in the seireitei every time her father gets too much) 

And bonus sims images (because I did this for the other asks,and I like to have an idea of what these kids looks like before I start describing them) 

Toddler (The hat came up when I randomly generated her, but I really like to think it was a gift from KIsuke)

If They Had A Kid (Kenpachi time!)

From Here || Accepting || @i-am-the-kenpachi

If They Had A Kid...

Name:

Tsuruhime - taken from here and Nanao’s choice, thinking it a name that would suit both their tastes. No surname as I genuinely couldn’t decide whether Ise or Zaraki suited her better 

Gender:

Female (as with all of these, Ise curse.  I think this time, it just didn’t work on Kenpachi seeing as he’s able to overcome most things in the bleach verse via insane spiritual pressure and brute strength combined.  Although if the curse wasn’t a factor, I really like the idea of them having a boy.)

General Appearance:

Has inherited very little from Nanao. Eye colour and dark hair is about it. Everything else, from strong jawline and a tall lean build comes from Kenpachi. Her hair is thin with  a bit of a wave to it which makes it hard to wear long, so she keeps it short once she’s able to make that choice. She stands a head and shoulders above most of the other girls her age and has done since she was a toddler (although was quite small when born). Has a very expressive face, and you can tell what mood she’s in from about twenty paces. 

Personality:

Absolutely larger than life from the way she walks and talks to how she chooses to dress. Is jovial most of the time and you’ll probably hear her coming before you see her. It takes a lot to get her annoyed and when she is, she has more of her mother’s sharpness and exasperation than her father’s directness. Rather bright and has a knack for strategy but is a very type b kind of personality and really doesn’t sweat the small stuff in the same way Nanao does. She was also able to do well at school with little effort, but academics don’t really appeal to her that much and has less ambition than her mother would like. 

Special Talents:

Has an aptitude for science, particularity biology and would probably have done well as some kind of environmental scientist in the 12th if she’d had any interest in perusing it. Also has a knack for healing kido which is the only skill she really picked up from her mother.  

Who they like better:

Not necessarily likes better, but I think Kenpachi’s probably better at the fun bits of parenting than Nanao. This means their child would tend to see him as the preferable parent especially when little. I mean, what primary school child wouldn’t want to be carried around on their dad’s back while he tells them stories about his favorite fights. This changes a little as she gets older with Nanao becoming the person she goes to when in need of life advice and Kenpachi when she needs to let off steam and do something fun. She’s very close to both her parents by the time she reaches adulthood. 

Who they take after more:

Her father, despite Nanao’s best efforts. I think there’s something about Kenpachi’s outlook on life that just rubs off on people the longer they’re around him and in when all’s said and done, he does make a really  good father figure to Yachiru, I can’t see why that wouldn’t be the case with one of his own - father daughter sparring sessions can totally be a thing. 

Personal Headcanon:

Has more aptitude for kido than she does swordplay, although doesn’t end up following in either of her parents footsteps and joining the academy. Vanished for several weeks as an older teenager to trek through the rukongai and explore. Returned to the seireitei once she ran out of supplies and faced Nanao’s wrath the music and would like to do the same in the living realm just for the experience (being unable to open a senkaimon is the only thing that’s really stopping her)

If They Had A Kid (for akonabides; because why not? :P )

From Here || Accepting|| @akonabides​

Name: 

Ise, Misato (specifically with the Kanji 美知 for Misato)  - it means beautiful knowledge which sounds like something they’d chose. Nanao insisted that Misato carried her family name. 

Gender:

 Female (’cos Ise curse. I’m assuming Akon’s devised some way to overcome it if he intends to be around to see his daughter grow up. I’d like to think he’s still around) 

General Appearance: 

Has her father’s eyes and angular face. Dark hair (which Nanao insisted she kept long throughout her childhood. She complained when she reached her teens but never quite got round to cutting it.). She prefers to have it swept back from her face, although it still swamps her a little and it’s unusual to see her with it down. Inherited her mother’s eyesight and has worn glasses since she was old enough to read. Slightly shorter than average and on the slim side but with more muscle than both her parents. 

Personality: 

Watchful and observant to the point it can unnerve people who don’t know her very well; she’s been able to surprise people with how much she takes in about the world around her since she was very little. Not much of a talker and usually keeps to herself, but has inherited her father’s dry wit and can be good company with the right small group of people and the right environment. Very thoughtful and uses her knowledge of the world around her to help those she’s closest too. She also has her mother’s flair for organisation (partly through having grown up seeing the way Nanao keeps her division in order) which has had the effect of becoming the mum of her friendship group and being a little rigid in her expectations when it comes to how a situation will pan out but will eventually adapt and can be very creative when coming up with solutions. Nowhere near as serious as her mother (I like to think Shunsui might have been around and had a hand in that) 

Special Talents: 

As mentioned above, she’s more observant than the average child and this makes her rather creative - she likes to draw but isn’t keen on sharing her creations, she has many notebooks squirreled away in her bedroom. She also has an eye for detail in when it comes to written work which makes her the person her friends give their essays to before handing them in. She’s also an excellent climber - something that began almost as soon as she could walk (and resulted in many frantic attempts to rescue her from high places she’d managed to get to behind her parent’s back, and still takes a covert delight in watching Nanao freak out every time she winds up somewhere high) and likes to head out to the Rukongai mountains as often as she can. 

Who they like better: 

Although she’s far from estranged from her mother, she gets on better with Akon. It’s the similar sense of humor which does it and I can see Akon allowing her more freedom and flexibility around things  as she got older. 

Who they take after more:

Physically, Nanao. Personality, Akon 

Personal Headcanon:

Like her parents Misato  ends up in the Gotei 13 as an adult. While Nanao had hoped she’d follow in her father’s footsteps (and still maintains she’d have made an excellent research officer in the 12th) she actually ended up in the stealth force where she excelled as  a surveillance operative. Also, like all Ise women, she has no zanpakuto but sadly doesn’t really have the same ability with kido as her mother. She makes up for this with her unarmed combat skills. 

Bonus 

Because I wanted an idea of what Misato would look like before I started laying down a description, I had some fun playing with genetics in the sims. so we have Misato as a….

[rowark]

Happy International Women’s Day

I thought I’d take an opportunity to share some fun historical facts about International Women’s Day because I like history and feminism and this is both!

1909: The Socialist part of America holds “Women’s Day” on February 28th

1910: German delegates, Clara Zetkin (1857-1933; Marxist theorist, activist and women’s rights advocate) and  Käte Duncker (1871-1953; German politician and feminist) introduce the idea of an annual women’s day at the 1910  International Socialist Women’s Conference

1911: First International Women’s Day is observed on March 19. Hundreds of demonstrations are held in various countries. Women demand the vote and protest sex discrimination.

1914: Germany holds IWD on a Sunday, which happens to be March 8th, and that becomes the official annual date

In London, England, suffragettes hold a march and Sylvia Pankhurst (1882-1960; suffragette and socialist) is arrested. (This is one of eight times that she is arrested, and force-fed. Her first-hand account of the force-feeding was later published, but be forewarned, it’s not easy to read)

1917: Russia (on March 8th by the Gregorian calendar, but February 23rd by the Julian calendar, that Russia still used until 1918): Working women hold a demonstration for bread and peace, in protest of WWI and the mass death and famine it was bringing to Russia. 

The demonstration evolved into a riot, which lasted 8 days. Protesters threw bricks and chunks of ice at police. A military garrison was dispatched, however, the members of the garrison sided with the protesters, and began shooting at the police.

This riot led to Tsar Nicholas II abdicating the throne, and came to be known as the February Revolution (one of two revolutions in 1917, that together form the Russian Revolution) and Russian Women were granted suffrage. Following this revolution, IWD became a predominantly communist holiday and in 1965, became a non-working holiday in Russia.

1922: China begins commemorating IWD. In 1927, a march of 25,000 demonstrators is held, and in 1949, IWD becomes a national holiday, and women workers are given a half day off.

1967: IWD remains predominantly communist until it is adopted by the Women’s Liberation Movement as a day of activism and protest.

… there is more, but the rest is more recent and also the day was co-opted by corporations, like everything always is, and I’m personally more interested in the activism part of it.
