So.

I’m sure some eagle-eyed bloggers have already taken notice of the URL change and while I thought of putting this up tomorrow, I just wanted to say this all really quickly tonight.  I rebooted this blog some years ago and I honestly feel like it was one of the best decisions I made on here.  I got to reconnect with older muns and even had a chance to get to know some of them better and at the same time, I got to meet lots of new people too as they came and went.  Some are still active, some are not but such is roleplaying.

I know this probably isn’t really a surprise, I’ve alluded to this before.  To be honest, I’ve been setting and moving goal posts for myself in regards to this - like at first it was, ‘I’m gonna reboot in the new year, make it official’, which then became ‘well I’m gonna reboot after Halloween’ and the more I kind of thought about, the more I realized there wasn’t any real reason to procrastinate on this.  I’m still gonna write, I’m still gonna do all of the things I wanted to do before, a new URL won’t really change things.  But change is always still kind of scary nevertheless and my 2021 resolution (because 2020 is cancelled for me) has been to try and keep an open mind and do things, even if they’re scary.

If this post comes off as rambly or weird, I apologize, this was kind of a spur of the moment decision that just kind of came to me.  First and foremost, I want to make it clear that this is only goodbye to this specific blog and this specific URL.  This is not goodbye to Jassi, or Ryuji or to electricea, or to Tumblr.  Maybe it will be in a few years, but for now, this is only a goodbye to a blog that I feel has been around for a good long while and now it’s time for a reboot, for a change.

I don’t think I’m cut out to be one of those muns who can stay on the same blog for years and years and juggle a great deal of followers - to those who can, I have the utmost admiration and respect for, but I think I’m the sort of ‘reboot every few years’ sort of person.  Even though I feel like I have taken great strides in many areas, I do sometimes feel a bit overwhelmed and a bit stressed and I’ll be completely honest, my inactivity has been due to these negative feelings and to mood drops - it’s nobody’s fault and I’m certainly not blaming anyone.  As I said before, I made this worse for myself by setting and moving goal posts when I could have rebooted ages ago and you guys have never been the issue at all.  You guys have given me a hundred reasons to smile and a hundred hours of laughs and good times and so many unique plots and threads that have come and gone and I hope I could do the same for you.

I guess where this whole ramble is kind of leading up to is - I’m rebooting.  If you want to find me, it’s the exact same URL - electricea.  It might be a little wonky because I’m still waiting for the 24 hour change to take effect but it is the same URL as before, it is by the same mun and hopefully will have the same great experience.  Also, when I say reboot I just want to clarify - for anyone worried that all ships or interactions will suddenly be whited out and Thanos snapped out of existence, that will only happen if you want it to. If you IM me on the new blog tomorrow and be like ‘hey we had a ship before i’d like to continue’ or even just be like ‘hey, how about a shippy thread?’ I would be perfectly down with picking things back up where we left off.  This reboot is moreso for myself than anything else, I’m not trying to wipe away and all past interactions or ships here.  I would hope you could still approach me and we could write together comfortably.

Also, just a final note - thanks for making the original reboot some time ago some of the best times I’ve had on Tumblr yet.  You made the time on that blog really special and I’m grateful I got to meet a lot of cool folks.  If you wish to part ways from here, I completely understand and I wish you nothing but the best and harbor no hard feelings.  Thank you for the memories and enjoy your time.  To those who do - and hopefully will (lol) wish to follow me, I’ll put us all out of our misery with this long post and just say uh, see you on the new blog, I hope! Thanks again!

“Y-You think so?” Sakura made it up since the chainsaw part is from her favorite video game before she and Takumi had to share the same account when playing games. Of course she enjoys the game time to time even if it’s old and has no sequel it was pretty fun! “Of course, I believe it’s a better.” she smiled. 

“I know so!” He nodded his head readily now reaching around in his backpack so that he could find a piece of paper and a pen.  Reaching for one of his school notebooks, he clumsily tore out a page, before once again tearing it in half and handing one of the uneven halves to her.  “You, uh got a pen on you?”

“I-I can’t stomach doing that, but i did saw Hinoka sometimes uses fake bait i believe.” she told him. “But i bet you catch a lot of fish huh?” 

“I guess it is kind of a mean thing to do to the worms but I dunno what other bait to use,” He frowned, now tilting his head at this.  “Fake bait, huh...? I might have to try that, and I have pretty good luck I’d say!” He grinned, motioning to himself proudly.  “Soo enough, I’ll be an expert fisherman!”

Sakura blushed red nodding looking up on the screen and he music playing clenching the microphone in her hands singing.

‘I am a useless, no-good stray dog that’s broken off straight from the rails. But I won’t wag my goddamn tail . For no reason at all to you.’

Yes there’s cursing but Sakura singing this feels like she’s..a delinquent child rather than her soft-spoken good girl self. 

‘I missed my chance to be a good old yes-man.’ after that line is Ryuji’s turn as the back up part is in yellow.

Lightly, he tapped the side of his leg in tune with the song as he waited for his part.

Though, it would be difficult for him to deny that she had a nice voice - a very nice voice, actually - almost...kind of, beautiful.

He was so focused on her that he almost didn’t even notice the yellow text.  Hastily raising the mic to his lips, he began to sing.

“Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, we are bad boys.”

          ❛ —and i never thought i’d hear someone as loud as you. i guess we’re both surprised. ❜

“Well maybe I’m biased but in my experience, loud people tend to be honest sort of people too.”

{ ♪ } – She chuckled and shook her head. 

     “It’s just really relaxing to listen to the waves crashing. I was born close to the ocean, so I like to listen to it especially when I’m stressed.”

   Her eyes closed and she took a breath, letting herself relax as she listened to the sound. She was under an umbrella and swathed in long sleeves and a long skirt to protect her skin. 

“Is that what the sound is when you listen to a shell...?”

He tilted his head to the side at this, now feeling rather dumb.  Sure, he knew that you could hear the sea through a shell, but the waves themselves...?

“You were born close to the sea, huh...? That must’ve been nice, I bet you found all kinds of shells just as nice as this one here,”

Yosuke picked up the gym bag the other left behind, thankfully catching him before he got too far away. “Hey! Sorry, you left this!” He offered the bag with a smile. “I figured you’d be kind of screwed if you didn’t get it back, man.” He panted lightly from the jog but wasn’t too winded.

Turning at the sudden voice, he initially shot the other male a skeptical, if not also puzzled look before he realized that was his gym bag that he was holding - and then, the embarrassment hit him.  “O-Oh...” He took the bag from the other male, his cheeks going pink.  “Y-Yeah you were right, I would’ve been pretty screwed without this.  Thanks for returning it, man.”

shymaru·:

Before he could even reply to the other’s words he felt something wrap around his legs and hold him in place, a yelp leaving him as he frantically attempted to get loose only to freeze as the sound of the bushes rustling echoed around them. Something was coming and with the thick roots gripping into his legs he didn’t have any chance of getting away from it.

“AH?! I-I… I-I can’t move!”

Frowning, he tried to wriggle about but the grass seemed to have gained a sentience of its own, wrapping itself around his legs in a tightly wound knot - almost like rope.  He probably would have thought it was rope, if he didn’t know any better, but grass was grass! Perfectly, harmless stupid grass! Helplessly, he gripped at the grass, clutching it between his fingers.

“C-Can you try to kick it off...?!”

“Yeah, I mean-we aren’t like big guys or anything.“ Akira replied with a shrug. “But, we’d have to get the pool here and I don’t know how’d we fill it.“ He sighed. “Hmmmm do we really wanna walk around looking for a pool though?“

“Even so, those pools are made for kids - an average sized person could take up a good deal,” He chuckled at the thought of them being awkwardly squished together in a pool.  He didn’t know if they made inflatable pools for adults but if they did, he sure as hell wanted to know.  “That’s a good point, yeah.  Want to just run a hose over our heads?” He suggested, half jokingly.

Akira took a few quick steps to get over to the shelf and began sorting through it, collecting one every now and then ending up with six toys, not counting the cat he gets for himself, two foxes, a rabbit, cat, and two dog “I know a few people who would like these, plus these are all pretty well made to Huh?”

“Ah yeah,” He smiled at watching his friend rummage through the various plushies.  Making his way over to Akira, he reached for a rather cute looking crocodile plush for himself - no real reason why, crocodiles were just cool.  “They’d make great gifts, I bet.  Plus, the price isn’t terrible,”

[electricea-a]

“Nice.” Ashura smirked just a little. So Ryuji had someone in mind? That made her plans a whole lot easier. “Guess we’re going after parked cars, then. We’ll have to be sneaky, though. Wouldn’t want to get caught or anything.”

The smaller girl couldn’t help but feel a little excited about this. She hadn’t egged a car since middle school, and she vividly remembered the thrill that came along with it. “So,” she continued. “Who do you have in mind? Anyone I know?”

“Guess we’ll just have to move quickly then and maybe try to space out our eggs,” Standing in one spot or fixating on one particular car could get them into trouble quickly and he didn’t want his fun to be prematurely cut short just yet.

“I was thinking some bullies from my high school, I’m not sure if you know ‘em or not but they’re pretty awful, the teachers are too,” He added, quickly.  “Everyone at that school is pretty awful and if you don’t know any of ‘em, you should count yourself lucky.”

orokayagi·:

She shyly smiled back, “Yeah! He’s taught me how to cook for myself. I can making some pretty good curry!”

“Heh, will you make me some curry sometime? I’m not usually a curry guy but if Boss taught you then there’s no way I could refuse that!”

“Yeah, I heard he was a real bastard.” He grimaces. “What about him?”

“Well, I’m glad the truth is finally coming out about him,” His shoulders bristled, slightly.  “Because he really was a bastard, but for a while, he was also my coach too.”

[electricea-a]

shymaru·:

“I-I… T-thank you… H-hmm…? S-some… S-some tea would be nice…” He could do little more than sniffle and stay close to the other with how overwhelming it all was but as his classmate asked if he wanted anything he glanced up at him meekly, quietly murmuring as he flushed a darker shade of red. It was rare that anyone was so patient and caring with him.

“Sure, would you mind helping me prepare the tea?” He suggested the idea with a friendly smile.  He didn’t really want Ishimaru to be alone in such an emotional state...and he didn’t really know how to prepare tea, if he was being totally honest.  “I’m not much of a tea drinker, you might’ve noticed,” He joked, wryly.  “So maybe you could teach me a thing or two,”

“That’s my point… Why would he suddenly and so dramatically confess to all his wrong doings… He had the entire school eating out of the palm of his hand scott free… But then boom he stops and confesses, something doesn’t add up.”

“I mean, I’ve never done half the things he was accused of - nor would I ever want to,” He added with a hint of barely restrained disgust.  How Kamoshida had managed to go through life for so long without an ounce of guilt or morals would forever be unfathomable to him.  “But maybe that kind of thing eats away at a person, you know - especially if nobody ever knew about it,”

[electricea-a]

shymaru·:

“B-but I… T-that’s… I-I… I-I don’t know… I-I’ve… I-I’ve never read anything outside of a-assigned books except for philosophy…” It was hard for him to continue arguing against the other with how persistent and eager he seemed but as he asked him what he wished to read he couldn’t help but flush and quietly inform him of his predicament, hiding his face in his hands in sheer embarrassment.

“Well, why don’t we make a list of things that you like seeing in books or movies? Then we can try to find a manga that lines up with what you like and it’ll be easier for you to get into,” He suggested.  “There’s plenty of manga out there, so there’s bound to be one for you too.”

You ever give him ideas or suggestions for his next piece, or just kind of let him do his own thing?”
