♥️ ♦️ RULES & GUIDELINES ♣️ ♠️
disclaimers
MATURE CONTENT WARNING! — be warned of the typical subject matters found in the media, such as, but not limited to: alcoholism, mentions of sexual assault, murder, excessive violence and gore, suicide, etc. graphic presentations of these traits will be tagged accordingly. I aim to treat all sensitive subject matters as respectfully and true as possible. please engage responsibly! DISCLAIMER! — yes, this is a comedy show. yes, I will be taking the topics more seriously than the show does. that means creating a more thorough representation of the subjects of race, history, mental illness, gender, etc. the show presents husk as a funny, grumpy side character to move angel's plot along. I'll be playing him as the exhausted, emotionally dead black man born in the early 1900s in the american south during the jim crow era with depression and alcoholism that he is. I plan to paint a full depiction of a person from his perspective and experience (outside of my own) and hope I do a good job. I'm always happy to receive resources and personal thoughts on how I can do that better. I'm a historian. I love that shit.
activity
extremely random activity. i’m trying to have a life, so i’ll be here randomly, and probably not for deep things. i’m happy to plot more via discord. i’m here to be gay and ship everything.
content & mutuals
mutuals only. no exceptions. any starter calls or opens are available for mutuals only. anything in character is strictly mutuals only.
any original content is not for reblogging. this includes jokes, headcanons, metas, thoughts, what have you.
personals & following
there is a high chance that i’ll block personal blogs on sight. i do check out the blog first, though, so put in your description if you roleplay from a sideblog.
i will also not follow if you lack a rules page and a place with your age (minor/18+ is sufficient).
tagging & boundaries
tag ‘emetophobia’ or ‘vomit’. ask me to tag what you need. i tag graphic content.
if you want to break our mutual following, please hard block me, don't soft block me. i'll notice and try to follow you again, thinking it was a mistake.
no-nos
sickness involving vomiting. mpreg/impregnation. same character interaction.
also, not interested in interacting/plotting with valentino. nothing against the muns and I'll still follow multis with him there, I'm just not interested in exploring those plots right now. husk can only have a hateful, antagonistic dynamic with valentino and I don't wanna get in that headspace. it's not a trigger or anything, it's just not fun for me to explore.
not interested in child plots. husk has no desire to be an actual father. father figure, sure, but not being an actual guardian.
NSFW
mun and muses are 21+. mun is asexual, but loves sexcanons.
there likely won't be threads that continue through the full sexual act on this blog simply because i get bored writing it, but there will be plenty of other sexual content. i may write the foreplay or the beginning and fade to black.
exclusivity / duplicates
i do not and likely will not participate in exclusivity. i don’t require my characters to be the only one of their kind with which you interact, and i expect the same courtesy.
i am happily open to multiples of the same character. each portrayal is unique.
shipping
multiship. i’m very here to ship. my characters may flirt, but all my ships are unique and special to me. shipping is based on chemistry and plotting!
i am a big fan of husker.dust, but that of course doesn't assume a ship! all ships require extensive plotting. i mean, that's the fun part.
for radio.husk — if you're looking for an aroace depiction of this dynamic with someone who knows how to handle that nuance, I got you. even if it's like extremely unlikely, extremely specific scenario of it being more, that's my specialty. it's one of the reasons I love them so much. being aro/ace spec, this ship is close to my heart.
my favorite ships with husk: angel, alastor, lucifer, fizzarolli, vox.
I love ship memes, but husk may not respond favorably if he doesn't have something plotted and/or established with your character. but shoot your shot!
my husk is demisexual! he's not interested sexually until he has a strong emotional bond, which he's resistant to creating (but he's a big softie, so it inevitably happens). just know that it won't happen quickly. this shit is slow burn central. if you're not interested in that, that's fine! we don't have to ship.
relationship views (angel, alastor)
angel
angel is a very important part of husk's development, but it's not a straightforward development. husk doesn't want to be in a relationship. he has no interest in pursuing one. he may be interested in angel, but there are a lot of things keeping him from doing something about that.
their relationship is a slow burn of several chapters.
the first chapter is pre-episode 4, where they're misunderstanding each other constantly. husk thinks angel is simply a fame grabber with an ego who's pushing his boundaries. it annoys him, it's unappealing, and no matter how pretty husk thinks angel is, he's not interested in that.
the second chapter is post-episode 4 where husk understands angel's acts the way he does for survival and safety, opposed to what husk originally thought. he's much more on angel's side and soft toward him. the boundary pushing has dropped and husk wants to help angel and be his friend. he's still not pursuing him actively, just acting as a support system. but, yeah, the pining is real.
the way your angel interacts with my husk will indicate to me whether you're imagining the interaction before or after episode 4. their relationship requires a lot of plotting. it's not so straightforward.
some canon divergences: my husk didn't push angel off the bar top in ep 1 when they were recording the commercial. I just don't think it's husk's vibe. he just walks away. and he doesn't push or encourage angel to follow Charlie's redemption plot in season 2. he stands up for him expressing his discomfort and pushes back against charlie. he's not about needling angel until he unwillingly puts aside his boundaries.
alastor
husk's relationship with alastor is very complicated and has many chapters. i write that husk and alastor have been allies since the beginning of husk's years as overlord. they had a long relationship prior to when we see them in canon.
husk trusted alastor enough at one point to accept his offering of a deal. his soul in exchange for power. husk could have gotten that deal from any other overlord. he's not stupid and alastor didn't trick him into the deal.
husk regrets his decision, but it was the decision he chose to make. however we end up plotting a relationship between alastor and husk, whether antagonistic or otherwise, there was once that history between them.
husk might complain that alastor forced him into things, makes him do whatever — but he's fully aware that he made that choice. he knew who alastor was. it was husk himself who made a decision that turned out to be a mistake. his regret is based more on blaming himself than alastor. but it's easier to bitch verbally at alastor.
husk's contract with alastor is not represented with chains. instead, it's represented by his shadow being under alastor's control to do with as he pleases. (the chain thing feels eeeh between two men of color.)
I play the husk and alastor hallway scene from 1.5 very differently than in canon. it's something to be discussed with whatever alastor I'm playing with, but husk doesn't cower. there's more of a relationship between them than that. and husk doesn't spook easily, especially not by alastor.
formatting
i like formatting, and tend to prefer when my partners use it, but it's not required. nothing too much, i just use small text, indenting, and some bold/italics for emphasis.
a list of some things I struggle to read:
if you have a long paragraph, please split it up! it's hard for me to consume it otherwise. i don’t usually do more than multi-para, bc my adhd ass.
i do prefer that people don’t use multiple spaces between words or letters, or alternate randomly between text size. it’s difficult for me to read, thanks!
if you want to use colored text, use the ones Tumblr provides, or check that your color can be read in high contrast in light and dark mode. i use a bit of colored text but i'm happy to not use it if requested!
I also struggle to read dialogue that phonetically spells out an accent to a significant degree. it slows my reading comprehension down to a crawl, unfortunately!
keep symbols and non-letter or pertinent punctuation characters to a minimum if it breaks up the flow of the sentence or paragraph.
ooc chatting
i prefer to keep ooc conversation focused on things related to our characters or the media! i feel awkward talking about real life stuff, as the only thing i want to talk about in real life is my nerdy shit anyway. 🤣 forgive me if i'm not good at maintaining non-character related conversation. the 'tism strikes back.
also, pls avoid love bombing and telling me you love me or calling me bestie unless like. we're actually close friends.
sending me memes and posts about the characters is wonderful and great, but make sure to actually interact as well. I'll respond to them with character thoughts and plotting with the intention for you to contribute. it's a two sided conversation. if I get sent just a bunch of Twitter posts, there's not much engagement there.
godmodding
the husk presented on this blog will be my own interpretation! please don't assume he's exactly the way you imagine, and i'm canon divergent when it suits me.
you can assume major traits and actions seen in the show, but the details are my own. i appreciate questions like 'how do you think husk responds to this?' or 'what does husk feel about this?'
plotting
... is required! husk is a grumpy old boy and doesn't warm up quickly. I like to use plotting to help speed it along.
