If you all haven't heard, I'm starting over on Selphie. Thank you all so much for the Christmas wishes and gifts -- I'm seriously touched that you all still remember me and care. I'll still leave this blog up and check it from time to time, but I am officially starting over with Selphie Tilmitt. Please, if you wish to interact with me, go follow this blog. Thank you all for an absolutely wonderful time <3
—I got every color nail polish I could find, and as for the dress, I figured you could use something nice, and it's a change of pace from the yellow. Merry Christmas, Selphie.
"Oh my goodness! Quisty, it's so cute~!! Eeeeee~ Thank you so much!! Merry Christmas! And don't you think we're not having a manicure party because we so are."
Noel Kreiss had heard tales of this thing called Christmas. In the End of the World there were no festivities, so of course he had never experienced such a joyous occasion. Still, it all sounded wonderful: the lights, the happy people, the celebration…
However, something bothered Noel: Santa Claus. This supposed old man was in charge of delivering presents to kids all over the world, traveling in his magical means of transportation with… flying reindeers? Noel had seen many amazing things, but it all sounded just a bit too much for an old man.
So, Noel Kreiss decided to take upon himself to be the helper of Santa Claus. Maybe he couldn’t deliver presents to everyone, but Noel was the guardian of Time, and had the Time Portals to aid him, so he could in one night visit many different places in different time periods! Putting on a special DLC outfit, Noel Claus started visiting his dear friends, one by one, and delivering them presents to celebrate his own Kreissmas!
And, guess what? You were one of the lucky friends who got a visit from this unusual Santa! You find this Kreissmas card under the tree:
You also found a special present, just for you: a brand new yellow dress, just like the ones Selphie is always wearing, but this one was made by Noel himself and is very easy to move in, so it can also be worn in battle!
Noel Claus wishes you a Merry Kreissmas! You are one of the dear people he holds in his heart! Noel is very glad to have met you, you helped filling up his heart and made him forget a bit his sad past, and for that he is truly grateful! So, thank you and see you next year!
ooc. If you write a reaction please tag it under “Kreissmas”. Search the “Kreissmas” tag in tumblr to read other people’s reactions to the visits of this big-panted, goofy Santa!
"Whoa!! Sure wasn't expecting this!" Wide emerald eyes raked over the dress as she held it out in front of her, a beaming grin quickly molding her rounded and rosy cheeks. "Hehe~! I love it! Thanks, Noel, er... Claus! And merry 'Kreissmas' to you, too!"
I have severely neglected this blog of late. Quite honestly, I'll come out and say that I've lost my muse for this Selphie. I say 'this' Selphie because, after much consideration, I don't feel that I have adequately portrayed her, and I have created such a different version of the Selphie that I would like to portray that if I were to suddenly change her, it would make absolutely no sense.
Regardless, here are the topics to be addressed in this message. You may read the whole thing, or sum it up for yourselves, but here is what I plan to do:
--Withdraw from Final Fantasy Unleashed.
--Delete this blog.
--Start a new Selphie RP blog (most likely under the same URL).
Any details on these decisions and their repercussions can be found below.
First off, I would like to say that this decision has nothing to do with any outside forces. No one has intimidated me or hurt me in any way, and I in no way intend to hurt anyone else with these decisions. These are personal decisions which, I hope, will not affect anyone but me. You can always reach me at any of my other blogs: Lucrecia Crescent RP Blog, Personal Blog, Switch OC RP Blog, and my new not-yet-unveiled Riko Mitsumi RP Blog. I will always be available to all my friends that I have made here :) I love you all, and every single one of you has helped me grow as an RPer.
This blog was my first roleplay experience ever, and I learned a lot from it. From my weirdly slutty Selphie at the beginning to her falling for Cloud and then Cid and maturing all the way... I have you all to thank for making this a wonderful experience for me. My writing has since grown better, as has my characterization and separation between mun and muse -- things I hadn't fully grasped in the beginning, and those flaws are the reason I'm starting over with Selphie.
Also, I still want to interact with everyone on the new blog I create. I cannot stress this enough. Starting over as Selphie doesn't mean that I want to wipe you all away. She will obviously have to start over with all of these relationships, but I would love for her to have the friends that she has now. Cid, Irvine, Quistis, male!Quistis, Aerith, and everyone else: I don't wish to abandon you; I wish the absolute opposite. I will come find you when I make this new blog and my new Selphie will be ready to forge new relationship with all of you. I (and she) love/s you dearly <3
Okay, on to the points. I suppose above I've already addressed the point of making this new blog and deleting this one, so the last point to address is my withdrawal from FFU.
This group has been absolutely wonderful, and thank you so much for accepting me and allowing me to have a great time with you guys. The events were always super fun, and the AUs were exciting to partake in, and even though I may not have been the best Garden Festival coordinator, it was still fun working with everyone and getting it all together. I really appreciate my time with you, and you're a wonderful group :)
Unfortunately, with my loss of muse and all, I feel that someone else deserves that spot much more than I do. Perhaps I may rejoin, or try to, with my new blog, but until I'm completely comfortable with my new Selphie I'll probably stay independent.
With those addressed, I'd like to say some things to some specific people. Pardon me for making this public.
deliveryboyxstrife: I want to apologize for shipping my Selphie with Cid while you away and not even consulting you. I know far in the beginning of my blog, we'd decided to ship our characters together in the long run -- but quite honestly, I was overwhelmed when you asked. I had just started this blog, my first RP blog, and I don't think I was ready to ship my Selphie to one person just yet. I wanted to explore her character more, and that exploration happened a lot with the Cidphie ship, along with Clophie. Their relationship still has a special place in my heart, and I hope you'll accept my apology.
shera-the-dream-destroyer: You are absolutely wonderful. You better believe I'm coming for you the second I make this new blog. I need my Cidphie, and my friend. I know sometimes I may come off short, and I may be hard to reach, and I may not be super-talkative ooc, but I really appreciate your friendship.
flower-girl-of-the-slums: You have been so sweet to me since I've started RPing. Thank you so much for everything you've done: making the background for my Lucrecia blog, giving me your number when you had to go away from tumblr for a while, and just being a fun person to talk to :)
marksmanirvine: You were one of my first friends here :) and you're still a great, adorable friend! I'm sorry we never got to explore the Irphie ship. Maybe that can change with my new blog!
chainsandwhipleather: I have loved seeing you grow while I've been RPing. Your Quistis is absolutely wonderful and you've only gotten better in all the time we've RPed together. You and Vincent (and the muns!) getting together is adorable, and I hope to be a friend to you. If you're ever having a down day, believe that I will always be there for you.
And to everyone else: Thank you so much. For RPing with me, for helping me grow, and for being my friend. I appreciate and love every single one of you.
Look at this, almost 400 followers and I'm deleting. It's a bit of a shame, but it's been a long ride, and I think it's time for me to do it right. Thank you all so much.
I will be changing the front page of my blog (I'll have to figure out how to do that) once my new blog is established so that it will link everyone to the new person to follow. I do hope everyone will redirect themselves to that blog, but if not I understand.
Goodbye, everyone, and soon I will be saying hello once more. <3
I’ll reblog this even though yo-dawg-nice is being yo-dawg-bad and I still don’t have any black light felt art to hang on the wall of my trailer home
"Chill, Rinny! There's no way he'd leave early. We've got plenty of time~..."
"Ah! Wait! ...Did you hear that?"
"...What time is it?"
"Doesn't matter! Quick, get your hat ready!"
"Oh right! Hat... hat... Rinny, where's my hat?!"
"Quiet, Selph!"
"Oh no, okay, I found it."
"Alright, I'll go behind his desk and you stand behind the tree."
"Gotcha!"
"Hurry!"
The two girls hid in their respective places just before the door to Squall's office opened and a light sigh was heard from the man who could only presumably be Squall Leonhart. He flicked the light switch on...
...only to be met with Christmas lights encircling the perimeter of his entire office, red and green streamers looping from the ceiling, reindeer-themed curtains on his windows, a Santa tablecloth draped over his desk, a red fringed rug in the middle of the room and an evergreen tree resting atop it with fake presents surrounding it, decorated in lights, string popcorn, and ornaments with a star at the top.
"Surprise~!" The two girls jumped up into view with bright beaming smiles on their faces. "Merry Christmas, Squall~!"
His hand went to the bridge of his nose instantly and he sighed heavily. "...You do realize it's only November, right?"
"It's never too early to get into the Christmas spirit!" Selphie sung.
Rinoa giggled and stepped up to her boyfriend, eyeing the mistletoe above them. "Do you like it?"
With an exhale, he closed his eyes and smiled ever so slightly. "Of course I do. Thank you, Rin."
