MOVED TO UNDINECREATESSOMETIMES @eludin-realm - Tumblr Blog

3/23/2026: Farewell. For Now.

Hi. I hope you all have been doing well. I'd like to sincerely apologize again for leaving everybody hanging like this. Forgive me if this comes off as rude in any way, it is not my intention. I just am not the best at writing or articulating my thoughts. But bear with me, please as this is important.

I've been thinking about this for quite some time, and I hate to go back on my word, but it is with a heavy heart that I'm announcing the official archiving of all my RP blogs, including this one (even though it's not RP), effective as of this posting. I'm not just making this decision willy-nilly, but I'm sure you all are aware that I've not been able to do much on this blog for a hot minute. Of course all my muses that I've RPed with, active or not, mean the absolute world to me, but recently I've just felt, to not be able to write anymore, practically at all feels like a massive blow, and my other RP sideblogs being shadow-banned was another blow.

The drafts, across all my blogs have just sat here and on top of this feeling has left me feeling more stressed than eager because, again, each time I try to complete one, I can't and it makes me anxious (and it is to no fault of you, my partners! please be aware! I love you all). This isn't just an RP issue, it extends to writing in general for me, right now and has been ongoing. If I'm being honest, it's not a good feeling to carry at all and, it's not very fair to my partners, I know, and I feel they at least deserve some closure. Although it may not be the best outcome they were hoping for. I'm really sorry.

Thus brings me to my point. I now feel like I want to move on from these blogs as a whole to other things, such as focusing on my main writing and worldbuilding projects, slowly, and interests rather than RP. As for the future of this blog, I am unsure if I will add on to the Realm of Eludin any longer. On the chance that I do, however, this blog can be considered moved to @undinecreatessometimes, my new writing blog. - however, it is more for storage and reblogging than it is writing at the moment due to my burnout and large writer's block issues. Hence, my want to archive these blogs, should I get the itch to return.

With that in mind, I want to obviously say thank you. A sincere thanks, to everyone, for the memories. The memories, all the threads, everyone I've written with, anyone who interacted in other ways. I'll always be grateful for such welcoming and kind muns, people who took time to write and play with me and my muses, send in asks, memes etc. And another thanks for people who enjoyed my creativity. I hope you had as much fun watching this world spring to life as I did.

I'm wishing you the best in your writing endeavors.

This blog will remain open to asks and DMs for a certain period in case anyone should be interested in staying in contact with the mun or has any other questions regarding this. Afterward, it will remain as an archive for the forseeable future.

Until then, goodbyes aren't forever. I may come back, some day.

OC Concept

This is a rough draft for an OC idea I've been working on for my main writing project. A lot of important things are purposely open-ended or vague as I am still working on him and reading for as much accuracy as possible but, here is what I have so far:

(NAME PLACEHOLDER), born circa (BIRTHDAY PLACEHOLDER). Actor and singer most active during the 1940s and into the mid to late 1970s. He is known for his polite, perhaps shy and humble attitudes off the screen, as well as his versatility in roles: romantics, comedics, villains, noir leads, etc. One unique feature about him is that he was born with complete heterochromia iridium, two different eye colors, one blue, one green. Considering the time period, he'd feared it would likely hurt his career, especially after photography and films made their transition into color, or when he starred in a film he knew was to be color. Were there mixed reactions to his eyes, absolutely. He didn't believe he'd pass the first few screen tests. At some point during his career (date and reason TBA) he sustained an injury to his vocal cords that put him on the sidelines in both acting and cutting records, an incident that was widely publicized in various media circles, papers and columns. His return was questioned, but he was soon back to the silver screen after a lengthy hiatus to a reluctant audience. The injury to his vocal cords had transformed the voice they had once knew, and not for the better. As a result, the rest of his works grew mixed thoughts from critics.

But where films saw possible disadvantage, record execs and managers saw an opportunity to his new cadence. He shifted his focus more towards the music industry and narrating rather than acting, feeling disillusioned and betrayed by Hollywood, only taking on certain roles and projects. After a final album release he stepped away from fame, withdrawing from the public spotlight in favor of a calmer life. He no longer needed the rat race of press, the Hollywood that expected conformity and the Hollywood that drew him in and spat him out over change. And there you have it. Side fun fact: He hates Westerns, owing to the fact three he starred in were, quote, "the most dreadful pictures I've ever been in." Now, could this realistically have been plausible for the times? Who the hell knows. But he came to mind one day and, from what I've read at least two other actors, Colleen Moore and Gracie Allen had heterochromia so he wouldn't be that much of an outlier. I hope. What do y'all think?

From my other writing blog!

Hi. I'm still archived here, but if you're wondering what's going on in terms of writing for me nowadays I've moved to @undinecreatessometimes.

I mainly reblog writing resources and tips and other things related to writing there, however if I do manage to wriggle past this problem I've been having you may see a snippet or two of something I work on.

It's not necessarily going to be related to Eludin anymore. I've moved on from that as of right now to focus on other writing projects if I feel I can, but the blog is there if you're interested.

// Two of my blogs here on Tumblr that I own just randomly got deleted out of the blue and I haven't a clue why. One is a blog dedicated to the Golden Age of Hollywood/Film and anything else pre-70s/vintage, the other was my writing advice storage etc blog. The vintage blog I'd woken up to find it gone, my writing blog, I reblog something and poof, gone! Obviously I've contacted staff about this and I'm hoping at least one of them can be reinstated but I'm not very happy about it. Quite sad in fact, especially for the vintage/classic Hollywood blog as that is an interest I'm particularly passionate about at the moment. I'm not sure what's going on here and perhaps I may be thinking on it a bit too much but if you see this blog, my main blog, or any of my other blogs, vanish suddenly do know that I didn't do it on purpose. I have no intentions on leaving anytime Tumblr soon even if I am very quiet on the RP side of things.

Just depends on the direction I feel like taking the blog.

Writing Notes: Herbal Remedies

References (Capsules & Powders; Compresses & Lotions; Creams; Decoctions; Infused Oils; Infusions; Ointments; Poultices; Syrups; Tinctures; Tonic Wines; Other Preparations)

CAPSULES & POWDERS

Powdered herbs are most easily taken as capsules but can be sprinkled on food or taken with water.

Externally, they can be applied as a dusting powder to the skin or mixed with tinctures as a poultice.

COMPRESSES & LOTIONS

Lotions are water-based herbal preparations such as infusions, decoctions, or diluted tinctures that are used to bathe inflamed or irritated skin.

Compresses are cloths soaked in a lotion and held against the skin.

Both are simple ways to use herbs externally and can be very effective in relieving swelling, bruising, and pain, soothing inflammation and headaches, and cooling fevers.

CREAMS

Making a cream involves combining oil or fat and water in an emulsion. If the process is rushed, the oil and water may separate.

Unlike ointments, creams blend with the skin and have the advantage of being cooling and soothing while at the same time allowing the skin to breathe and sweat naturally.

They can, however, deteriorate quite quickly and are best stored in dark, airtight jars in a refrigerator.

Okay y'all, I'm making a new OC and I need help choosing a last name for her. She's a photographer studying jazz, but the rest of her is largely a WIP which is why these may not fit just yet. Which of these do you like best? I can't make up my mind out of these randomly handpicked and it may.... change... I'm not the best at names and yet, I hoard them.
