𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 ( you can totally skip that part and jump right to the end where i tell what i’m gonna do now, but i felt like giving an explanation for it first ) :
i’ve first started writing imra sometime around december 2017 shortly after her second appearance on supergirl ― where i got to know her. at that time, i wasn’t a big fan of comics so my only exposure to her has been through the show. and, although i hate to admit it, i kinda only picked her as my muse because the muse i initially wanted to write ( kara ) was already around so much ― and i didn’t feel like competing ( let it be known that i was still pretty new to rping back then and i was afraid of not finding people to write with if i wrote someone so many awesome and talented people already wrote ) with anyone else. so i picked imra instead. she’d only been around for a few scenes and she seemed nice enough and in a way she seemed similar to kara. i still didn’t know much about the comics then and while i did do a little research, i decided to go my own way with her; making her my own character because canon sure as hell wasn’t going to properly develop her. after all, i think we can all agree that they only put her in the show for some drama and the famous cw love triangle.
all was good for almost a year i think. i was happy with her and the relationships i’ve had built with her but then i decided to open a comic book and i almost instantly fell in love ( … at the second try, because i first came across the five years later era which really didn’t work as a starting point. but then i found legion lost and i’ve been hooked ever since ). that was the point i first started to take imra in a different direction. i switched faceclaims, rewrote her bio to include more comic canon but still tried to fit show canon into it all. it became a mess. i constantly switched things around when i learned more about her comic versions and tried to put all of these versions into one character ( even when things were clearly contradicting each other ) ― all of that without a single thought of what i was actually doing. but i continued doing it. and everything became messier and i didn’t have any direction what i wanted to do with her. i just continued writing her because i still loved her but looking back i honestly had no idea what i was doing. or who she was anymore because i meshed so many different things together that it left me confused ― which might be one of the reasons became less active and less happy with my portrayal with her. but i wanna change that now because as i always said, imra means so much to me. and that is basically the only thing that never changed throughout the years.

well, i’ve decided to do the same dc does every once in a while and completely reboot imra. i will try to do a completely fresh start, scrap everything i’ve done before and pretend like i just started writing her for the first time. all of that will be done on a new blog and while you’re all probably getting tired of me constantly moving blogs it’s the easiest way for me to do that. basically, i will reinvent both immy and me ― she’ll probably get a different backstory, a clearer characterization and hopefully more dynamics with all of you wonderful people. i’m bringing her back but i’ll do it right this time, with a clear direction and without meshing contradicting facts and canons together. i’ll take inspiration from everything there is, but i’ll ultimately bring her back to being as my very own new version of her. one that i’m actually going to be happy with.
so here are a few things that’ll happen:
i’m currently working on creating a new blog for her. i already saved a new url but i’m not gonna publish it here before i’ve finished everything else ― her bio, her verses, icons, and whatnot.
all threads and asks will be dropped/deleted. i’m sorry about that but because this is meant as a completely new start, it wouldn’t make sense to keep old things. besides, we can always start new things.
if we’ve had some kind of dynamic in the past, i’m partially gonna scrap that as well. that doesn’t mean i don’t want that dynamic anymore but it might have to be adapted a little to fit my new canon/version of her.
