"From my rotting body, flowers shall grow
and I am in them, and that is eternity."
18+ (MINORS DNI!) // A blog dedicated to original characters for Red Dead Redemption 2 // Xbox One Player // Queue Tag: down-the-rabbit-hole // Check pinned post for further details! 💛
This is a post dedicated to all the information that could possibly be required, in my opinion, about this blog—including necessary information about myself; the setting, rules, and links to (eventually) all of my character sheets. This post will be pinned, and will be updated whenever I make a post that requires a spot on it. Please refer to this, before reaching out to interact. 😊💛
1. Rules of the Blog:
1. This is an 18+ Blog! If you’re looking to roleplay, or otherwise interact with me—I must preface that this is an 18+ environment. I’m not comfortable with interacting with minors. NSFW roleplay interactions all have to be between two characters who are 18 and above; and the fellow mun has to also be above 18, for me to be comfortable w/ doing a scene.
2. Patience is a virtue. There’s only one person that I tend to talk to every single day, because anything more overwhelms me with anxiety, so please don’t take offence if I take some time to respond to anything (asks; messages; threads; etc.)—though if it’s been more than three days, please give me a little nudge. I’ll try to let people know, when I’m not feeling a thread any more; I don’t want people to be left hanging, lmao.
3. My characters are mine, yours are yours. Please don’t assume that your headcanons of my characters are, in fact, canon; and please don’t try to control my characters, as if they were your own, during threads.
4. This is a multi-ship environment. None of my characters are locked into relationships with one character, and that character only. I’m a multi-shipper at heart, and I’m not comfortable agreeing to a situation where I’m unable to ship my characters with other peoples’ characters, because I feel cornered or pressured by another mun. Please keep this in mind, before interacting with me, because I’d rather save us all a headache.
2. The Setting:
The primary setting of my blog is within the 1800s, though this blog doesn’t follow the set genre of just cowboys—instead intertwining with supernatural, as well as fantasy genres. Vampires; demons; werewolves; elves; merfolk. At least 95% of my characters are supernatural creatures, or otherwise have a very heavy involvement with the supernatural, and I’m pretty much a ‘if it exists in real life mythology; it exists in my verse’ person; even if my characters don’t necessarily fall into those categories. There will eventually be posts made with information on how each species works in my setting; but that’s a lot of work, and I’m...nothing if not a procrastinator, lmao. ^w^
Questions about the setting are always welcome!
Feel free to reach out. 💛
Personal information is below the cut;
there will eventually be links to character sheets,
but as I said above—it’s a lot of work for me to do!
Presently, there is a generalized list of my characters;
as well as the tags that they are typically posted under;
beneath the cut, after the personal information. ^w^
System: Xbox One.
Open to Playing w/ Others?: Yes! I’m not down to play with significantly larger groups, because of selective mutism; sensory overload; and anxiety—but I’ll happily play with one or two other people in the party. I also have numerous accounts on the Xbox, due to having multiple characters for Red Dead; as well as smurf accounts for practice in other games, so if you’d like to play with a certain character—just let me know; and I’ll add you on both my main, and the additional account. Feel free to msg me for my GT!
Open to RP?: Yes, but I’m selective with the people that I decide to RP with. I’m not in a place, mentally or emotionally, where I can consistently respond to long posts—and I’m the sort of person who really wants to provide the same sort of length in RP responses, as the other mun has provided me. ;w; If you would like to consistently roleplay with me; Discord is my preferred system, because it feels less pressuring than tumblr; but I’m completely down to figure out an arrangement—where we write the original posts on Discord, and then clean it up a little to post on tumblr, if anybody’s interested in that.
I’m incredibly open to short, less demanding in length, ask-based RP! ^w^ If anybody would like to interact with my OCs, in less serious manners; I intend to start posting more ask-based RP prompts; since my asks are open again.
Active Fandom(s): I’m listing the things that you’ll most definitely catch me interacting with. I have numerous active fandoms, which I don’t necessarily consider to be list-worthy, since they’re not towards the front of my mind rn.

Other Blogs:
trinkets-and-spirits — This is my main blog, though it’s completely dead, and I have zero intentions of legitimately posting there again. Since lady-death-herself is a side blog from my main blog—you’ll be notified that I followed you from my main blog; though if you’re looking to reach out to me, please do so via lady-death-herself, as this is the blog I actively use, please & thanks!
rhyddxd — This is my Overwatch blog. I don’t really use it too often, because it’s difficult for me to keep my attention focused on more than one thing at a time; but I do, occasionally, post Overwatch-related content over there. c:
My Characters:
(24/02/22) This was originally a significantly longer list with all of the characters that I’ve created for the RDR verse. For my own sanity, as well as deciding to keep some of these characters off of the blog, I’ve decided to cut it down to the characters that I actively have Xbox accounts for. I’ll still be posting about characters who aren’t on the list, whenever I get inspired for them, but they’ll namely be ‘cameos’ in screenshots—with the others being the main focal point of the blog, if that makes sense. This list was originally hosting 26 characters, and has since been cut down to six characters.

“The Governor spoke highly of you.” The stranger said. The bounty man silently continued to clean his weapons as his unwanted visitor persisted.
“He said you would be…willing… to help me and my situation…”
“That depends…” the bounty man lowly spoke. The nervous man fixed his collar and wiped the sweat off his brow.
“D-depends in what?”
“We all hold sins, and every sin comes with a price.” The sinister coldness of the bounty man’s eyes made the stranger before him much more nervous. He held his breath at the sight of the tall frame slowing rising to his feet.
“Are you willing to pay for yours?”
It took us nearly five days to get off of that mountain. In the middle of the night after my last entry we got caught in a sudden blizzard. I was barely able to wake up and follow Elliott to the horses. Elliott led the horses by hand, keeping me as close to him as he could to keep me from getting lost.
I grew so cold that I had trouble walking. My feet felt like ice and I lost my balance many times before we finally found a group of trees growing tightly around a large boulder with a small space hollowed out in its side. Elliott dug out as much snow as he could from the hollow and made me sit as close to the wall of rock as I could. He pulled some of the branches of the trees down and tied them together to shield us a little from the wind.
He hitched the horses between the boulder and trees to give them as much warmth as he could and grabbed the lantern from off of his horse before joining me in the hollow. It was a tight fit but that helped us share body heat and blankets. Elliott lot the lantern carefully and held it close to us for a little extra warmth.
We sat in that hollow for hours before the blizzard finally passed. We sat there huddled close together, praying and trying our best to keep from freezing. When it was finally over Elliott climbed out of the hollow and checked on the horses. By some miracle they were both unharmed and alive. Once he was sure they were good to go and there wasn’t another storm coming, he helped me out of the hollow and onto my horse.
We rode through that next night, not wanting to risk another blizzard and finally made it to Valentine a few days later, having to find and refined paths because of the snow. Both exhausted and not feeling well. We left the horses with the stable master, giving him a little extra to keep a close eye on them for injuries of any kind.
We went to the hotel next and Elliott ordered a hot bath for us both. The hot water felt so good after being so cold. I nearly fell asleep in the tub when Elliott stepped in and asked me if I was ready for some sleep in a bed.
When we got up to the room there was a tray of food on the dresser. Elliott then told me that he had explained to the hotel owner what they had been through and asked that some food and water be brought to the room. He paid extra for this and paid for a week in the room. The owner was happy to have the room paid in advance and promised that we wouldn’t be disturbed so we can recover. He also told Elliot that he would make sure we had meals brought to us for two of the sevens days. Apparently he had lost a relative to a blizzard a few years ago and knew just how much it took from you.
We’re still in the hotel now. The owner has been very helpful and nice, almost treating us like his own family. Elliott slept for almost a full 24 hours when we finally went to sleep. I was worried for a little but checked him for hypothermia or any signs of injury. He was perfectly fine. Just exhausted.
ya know what, rdo tag game!! Put in the tags the dancing style of your character and which instrument you choose when you play with the band. I wanna know
please tell me I’m not the only one who didn’t know the bait lady in Lagras sells more than just bait and that you can walk around the porch like a store and pick things up.
As someone who's also just come back after a super long break; I feel this!! I have no idea why I stopped playing as much, bc I missed this game so much, and just the few days I've been playing lately -- have been some of my better gaming days in the past few months. 😊

That's the last of the stuff i had sitting in my drafts.
I'm not surprised at all. Realistically, rockstar probably pulled the plug a year ago when blood money flopped. The signs were there. It still fucking sucks though.
It fucking sucks because they could have done so much with this game. It's obvious they don't want to branch out and try something new, but even then they could have just copy-pasted concepts that worked for gta and it would have been an improvement. But they didn't even do that. Instead they flat-out refuse to actually service their live service game. All because they can't push for mobile game level microtransactions or add subscriptions upon subscriptions.
And it's a shame, because it felt like red dead was finally on track to recieve some good updates. Finally, after years of being held back by stability issues and the dev team clearly being pulled in a million different directions, maybe we'd get something exciting, things people had been really hoping for - nope, that's when rockstar decides to confirm that they have no intentions for red dead other than to throw it in the garbage.
