why are you here ?
drive . drive fast .
i think we should make an informed decision .
are you coming or not ?
you’ve been avoiding me .
[ name ] , what were you thinking ?
this should be your priority .
let me hold you for a minute .
get out of my way . i won’t tell you again .
that wasn’t supposed to happen .
can you keep a secret ?
i don’t know what i did to deserve you .
you seriously think i could’ve done something like that ?
you’re safe with me .
sorry isn’t good enough .
where is all this coming from ?
who told you about that ?
sorry i’m late , i got caught up .
you’re being paranoid .
why are you looking at me like that ?
you’re the single most important thing to me .
all i’m asking is that you hear me out .
whatever they told you , it’s a lie .
we shouldn’t stick around here .
hold my hand , i don’t want to lose track of you .
[ name ] … truth or dare ?
i love you . nothing’s gonna change that .
can you tell me what happened ?
you can’t come around here anymore .
back off , okay ?
what , you don’t have time for me anymore ?
you’re asking for too much .
i’m trying to start a new life .
what do you mean , you aren’t coming back ?
sometimes i think you must hate me .
why can’t we just talk about this ?
i know i fucked up , you can stop rubbing it in .
you’ve got quite a reputation .
i’m not usually like this , i’m sorry .
please , just let me explain myself .
i love watching you work .
we’re on the same team .
did you ever tell anyone ?
you’ve got a lot of explaining to do .
really funny , you’re very mature .
you call THAT a PLAN ?
can we get out of here ?
i thought things would be different .
this is not up for debate !
do whatever you have to do .
karma’s going to get you for that .
it could’ve been a lot worse .
i asked you to leave me out of this .
maybe it’s time to take a leap of faith .
i never want to see you again .
can you see how many fingers i’m holding up ?
i’m gonna be there when you get what’s coming to you .
you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me .
i’ve been waiting all night for this .
i told you not to contact me .
sometimes i really think you have a death wish .
what do you need ? — what can i do ?
i would do literally anything to keep you safe .
that was supposed to be a secret .
you haven’t called me that in years .
stop telling me to calm down !
we make a pretty good team .
i have so much i want to say to you .
i’m not going to let anyone hurt you .
can we please not do this right now ?
wait , wait … just breathe for a second .
how are you holding up ?
why don’t you stay the night ? i’ll take the couch .
i don’t need your protection !
you’re not making this easier on yourself .
are you going to let me in ?
i’m supposed to be protecting you .
i will kill you if i have to .
do whatever you have to do .
this is going to hurt , i’m sorry .
what happened to you , where have you been ?!
there was nothing you could’ve done .
you’re all i need right now .
i don’t believe in love at first sight .
have you been following me ?
i need you to believe me .
what do you remember ?
i’m not a good person .
what the hell’s going on with you ?
you’re being followed .
just when i thought my day couldn’t be any worse .
i’ve been having weird dreams .
so you’ve been lying to me this whole time ?
are you trying to get us killed ?
this is the worst thing that’s ever happened to me .
i never asked for your help .
you’re being followed , pretend you know me .
why has it started to feel different with you ?
don’t worry , i have a plan .
i heard everything .
do you need to sit down ?
i have the right to know what’s going on .
i’ve just gotta catch my breath .
stay out of my business .
what did you think was going to happen ?!
don’t cause a scene .
tell me something about you that i don’t know .
can i buy you a drink ?
what if … we played spin the bottle ?
this was never a problem until [ name ] came around .
you can’t ask me to make that choice .
are you seeing anyone right now ?
i need you to listen to me , we don’t have long .
you’re lying , that doesn’t make any sense .
you look … stunning .
what are you trying to prove ?
who died and made you the boss of me ?
you can’t just show up here like this .
let me make it up to you .
there’s no way i’m leaving you like this .
can we stay like this ? just for a little longer .
i don’t need you to fight for me .
so … you lied to me ?
you’re the only one that can help me .
i can’t help you if you won’t let me .
i never introduced myself , i’m [ name ] .
i expected more from you .
you have no idea who i am , do you ?
are you real ? is this real ?
can i stay with you ? just for the night .
you’re going to get yourself killed .
why did you help me ?
tell me what i can do to help .
pick a card , any card .
i never wanted any of this .
i love you . you don’t have to say it back .
do you wanna get out of here ?
what the hell are you talking about ?
i should have trusted you .
get your head out of the clouds .
how is any of this MY fault ?!
what aren’t you telling me ?
i can’t help you if you won’t let me .
it’s never just one with you , is it ?
you’re not supposed to know about that .
shut your mouth .
i haven’t kissed you yet , today .
where is this coming from ?
come over here and make me , then .
keep lying to yourself , see where it gets you .
i’m not a bad person .
is that what you wanted to hear ?
we can’t be seen together .
i can’t give you what you want .
i need you to leave .
are you drunk ?
i’m here , i’m here . i’m not going anywhere .
you might want to take a seat for this .
have you been listening to anything i’ve said ?
i haven’t heard from you in weeks .
you’re jealous , aren’t you ?
who do you think you’re talking to ?
what are you reading ?
you could’ve killed me !
come on , we don’t have time for this .
i just need ten minutes of silence .
really ? that’s all you have to say ?
we could leave , you know . go far away .
you don’t look too good .
i never want to see you again .
why can’t you just leave me alone ?
i thought you died .
you’ll do anything for attention .
give me another chance .
how’s the weather up there ?
all you do is hurt people !
i’m sorry , none of this makes sense .
you need to get out of here before anyone sees you .
i told you i didn’t want you around here .
is that supposed to be a threat ?
you’ve changed .
don’t look at me like that .
it’s a beautiful day , don’t you think ?
i did what i had to do .
you never know when to stop .
i’ve got to get home , it’s getting late .
i have nothing to prove to you .
stop LYING to me … all you do is lie .
you don’t have to be nice to everybody .
don’t tell me what to do .
pull your head out of the past .
nobody can help me . i can’t even help me .
we are not talking about that right now .
are you new around here ?
you have no idea what you’re starting .
i’m gonna get us out of here .
whatever you came here to say , i don’t want to hear it .
everyone’s staring at us .
is there anything i can do to help ?
i won’t cause you any more trouble .
– just follow my instructions for once !
do you want to come in ?
i just didn’t know what to do .
you need rest , lie down .
i’m not who you think i am .
i don’t know what you want me to say .
you’re not like anyone else i’ve ever met .
i feel like i’m going insane .
stop asking , you’re not going to like my answer .
i didn’t want you to see me any differently .
i wish i knew what to say to you .
don’t give me that look , you know what i mean .
you should be afraid .
do you still love me ?
i never thought i’d get this far .
the world doesn’t revolve around you .
i need you to give me some space .
i know what you’re doing , don’t play games .
you left me to die .
i’m beyond repentance .
when are you going to get it through your head ?
i missed you more than i thought i would .
i’m in love with you .
what do you need from me ?
i’ll kill them , just say the word .
[ name ] , what are you doing here ?
how can i help ?
you’re pathetic .
i need you to come pick me up .
where have you been ? it’s eleven o’clock .
i couldn’t live with myself if i let you get hurt .
i can’t just pretend it didn’t happen .
you’re a real piece of work .
do you remember how we first met ?
when did all of this fall apart ?
that’s not what i came here for .
i would do anything for you .
also why did i blacklist ‘ byers ’
i’m slowly going to go through my followers etc & do a purge bc i know at least half of my followers are inactive, but i just want to say t hat i don’t think i’ll be doing starter calls any time soon. i just deleted 25 starters i made four months ago that went unanswered & it can be pretty demoralising, so i think i’m going to focus on memes & plotted starters ! i might occasionally post a call if i’m feeling like it, but it won’t be, like, something u should wait for to interact w me, yk ?

* knowing your partner well can potentially make writing a lot easier, repost, do not reblog.
name : ink
pronouns : she / her
preference of communication : anything goes im just so bad at responding. disc primarily but :/ i do have imessage for ppl w iphones ,, i just gotta get better at texting those i do have phone numbers for ig
name of muse(s) : TOO MANY. but here we have joyce, & there’s also joe & jon & jonathan & jodi & jaskier & -
experience / how long ( months / years ? ) : i’ve been rping since before tumblr was around, but i’ve been rping on tumblr since its inception, pretty much
best experience : exisiting on joyce bc there’s so much love & support for her when i truly was so convinced she’d flop that i didn’t post on her blog for three months after making her
rp pet peeves / deal breakers : so many ? sexualising minor characters / ageing up just to sexualise them ‘ safely ’ ; not reading people’s rules is a huge one lately. people have them for a reason. please read them. following purely for the faceclaim, or putting an overt emphasis on certain faceclaims regardless of their character ; small / unknown fandom blogs struggling for interactions - just treat them like an oc with really detailed lore ! ; female characters struggling to tread water in the rpc ( & gods help u if it’s a woman of colour ) ; how quickly interest in ‘ new fandom rpc ’ spaces can wither, ‘cause i’ve seen brilliant blogs suddenly get super insecure like three weeks in when they’re barely getting any traction because the ‘ hype is over ’ or whatever ; personal blogs getting too involved ( this post is specific to some personals i had to block on joe, & some anons i had to deal with on jon in 2020 tho. there’s two specific personals that follow me here that i adore a lot, actually ) ; at the moment i find i’m really struggling to read threads that heavily involve the ˢᵘᵖᵉʳˢᶜʳᶤᵖᵗ / ᵈʷᵃʳᶠ font but that just may be because my eyesight sucks ; characters that are really passive & it feels like you as the writing partner have to carry the weight of the interaction, or write your character ooc to fit the thread ; when muns get hyped up to write a certain character but then getting interactions is like *crickets* despite having [ x ] followers - super disheartening. the rpc needs to get better at just throwing interactions out there, i think. i know promos barely get reblogged these days, & opens go completely unanswered on the rare occasion they get posted. we’re getting better at it, but the interaction reciprocation is far from what it was a few years ago :( ; shaming people for curating their dash to their comfortabilities ; the unspoken belief that if you break mutuals, you’re an inherently bad person, i guess ? if u soft block me that’s more than fine, & if u decide to refollow me again in the future, also more than fine <3
muse preferences fluff, angst, or smut : :) i say fluff & angst but . . . i often default to angsty. i tend to do a good balance though, i think ?? i’ve only ever written smut on uh, joe & jask so . that barely counts
plots or memes : memes. plotting is great but i’m so much of a ‘ yes, and - ’ person that i thrive best on memes, unless the person is coming to me with a plot idea to flesh out.
long or short replies : it depends on your definition of ‘ long ’. for some people that’s like 50-100 words ; for other’s it’s 1k+. it really depends on how well my writing machine ( brain ) is working that day, but i usually write . . . 50 - 300+ for a meme response i think ? thread-threads can vary ; i know i’ve written lengthy ones before, but it really does just depend on how switched on my brain is that day
best time to write : i tend to write between like 9-11am or 9-11pm it seems ? sometimes mid-afternoon ? there isn’t any specific reason for this though, & my activity is going to dip like crazy from tomorrow when i start my new job with two weeks of on-site training & a three-hour round trip commute on a good day
are you like your muse(s) : i’d like to think so ? i don’t know, though. there are far worse people to be like than joyce. i’m certainly not like the vast majority i write, however !!

winona ryder’s character in stranger things has never been wrong even once and every time the fucking gravity turns off or whatever she says “hey thats weird right” and everyone in a 10 mile radius is like “woah category five woman moment incoming”
ykw im gonna say it when like no one’s online but u cannot tell me that the ease with which joyce went ‘ nah the letter says he’s alive so he’s gotta be , i didn’t see a body ♡ ’ isn’t 150% a trauma response born from her inability or refusal to deal with the guilt of feeling ‘ responsible ’ for someone else’s death --- especially as she had a direct hand in this one
