PSA regarding the Mun

Lights up. // Hey all! Okay, so, it’s been a while, and I’m not sure if you guys noticed me working on dusting off my blogs, but here we go!  So for those of you who have recently followed me… Welcome! I feel really bad about that since I was in some really weird hiatus stuff, but HIIIII. I’M HERE NOW.

I just moved across the country (July 23rd-ish) and got a new job (September 11th) and got married (September 16th), so my schedule’s still a touch wonky as we navigate the holidays together and everything, but I think I’m mostly here.  I just got xkit on my computer again, so we’ll see how this goes. <3

That said, something really bizarre is going on with my inboxes, so I’ve temporarily closed my inbox and submissions for my blogs until I get it squared away.  I’ve also purged most of my drafts– it looks like there were a lot of URL changes/blog closures since most of those drafts were made, so we’ll see what happens there.

Also, PSA… Reno’s blog will be the last one I work on restarting! He’s easily my most popular character, but for now, he might stay something of just an ask blog while I get my others going first.  I don’t want to get caught in the same emotional trap I did last time, where Reno had something like twenty+ threads and my others had one to five threads.  So there will be a thread cap on Reno after I get settled.

(That said, he’s always down for ask-box shenanigans, and I love metaing. So feel free to shoot those in once I open up the ask boxes again.)

For the record, this will affect all of my blogs.

// 2. a trait they don’t have enough of (ex. too little pride = insecurity)

2. A trait she doesn’t have enough of.

So I spent probably forever trying to think of a trait that wasn’t pride, since it’s the example and all, but honestly… Tifa’s insecurity is a huge part of who she is.  Especially this Tifa.

Her insecurity coupled with her ambition is what makes her push so hard, fight so fiercely, and crave the recognition that she gets when she ranks up within SOLDIER.  Her insecurity and fear and worries are what drive her to SOLDIER in the first place.  So… much as I hate to use it… Pride.

// What the fuck is wrong with my character?!

[occasionalrpmemes]

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH MY CHARACTER? (a fun ask game!)

Understanding a character’s flaws is key to making them well-rounded and believable, so send me a number (and a character, if there’s more than one option) and I’ll tell you:

a trait they have too much of  (ex. too much pride = arrogance)

a trait they don’t have enough of (ex. too little pride = insecurity)

a trait they express in the wrong way

a trait they’re ashamed of

a trait they’re not ashamed of (but maybe should be)

a bad habit

something they do that hurts themself

something they do that hurts others

a reason (or excuse) they haven’t improved on any of the above OR

a way that they are improving on any of the above!

Open on all of my muses, as listed below.  I’ll reblog it to each of them over the day.  Yes, this is also a shameful blog drop.  <3

you did not break. remember that. in the end, when night closes in when the stars whisper goodbye, remember who you are(who you were) human ‘til the bitter end. this world stole more than it was owed it took lover after lover, life after life but you were strong when it mattered and you did not break.

As a reminder...

// I will be out of pocket for most of this weekend and probably the beginning of next week.  My fiance and best friend are going to be down here in Louisiana late, late tonight or ridiculously early tomorrow morning, and we will pack up my uhaul tomorrow and then drive back to Kentucky on Sunday.

If you want to reach me, feel free to IM me here on Tumblr or hit me up on Discord (traxits#5080).  If you hit me up on Discord, make sure to shoot me your URL so I know who you are!

I will reblog this across all of my blogs over the course of today, just for visibility.

Memories and Promises

[lockhart1stclass-archive]

yeahinmyhead:

What it was that Cloud did out in the woods was honestly up for debate. Sometimes he was chopping wood. Sometimes he was hunting or collecting berries and herbs for his mother. Sometimes he just found a quiet place out in the middle of everything where he could just sit and relax and hope that no one else was stupid enough to wander into the woods.

Because Cloud knew that it was technically stupid for him to be out in the woods alone. He was scrawny and probably bite size for a lot of the things that took up residence there, but he had lived here for years and gotten pretty good at learning how to dodge things.

And people.

Tifa looked down from the sky when she heard her name, and how was it that even after all the training, all the everything, her body still betrayed her?  Her lungs locked up, frozen with the shock, with the reality of... this.

No, not just this moment.  Sitting here on the woodpile, her eyes adjusting to the rapidly fading light, Cloud standing there...

The reality of just what she had done hit her.  She'd left.  She'd really and truly left Nibelheim, and more than just physically.  Leaving the town was the easy part, but people always came back.  Always came home.  Coming home hadn't felt like returning to anything familiar to her though.

She smiled, and air rushed into her lungs as she pushed off the woodpile.  She wasn't sure... handshake or hug?  How close were they these days?

She clasped her hands in front of herself for a second.  "Cloud," she said, her voice bright.  Warm.  "Just uh... here to check the reactor," she added, and she jabbed a thumb over her shoulder, the same way everyone in town did, regardless of which direction the reactor was actually in.

"I thought..."  She swallowed, then shook her head.  "I wanted to come by.  See how you've been doing.  You look--" too thin, worn down, as though maybe he was suffocating as much as she had been before she'd left, but she couldn't say any of that, "--well."

covered in soot, covered in blood, covered in walking tragedy; the guilt will let you go but the memories will not.

pls pick me up and throw me... I mean-... *cough*

Tifa eyes Rude for a second, and she grins as she shifts her weight.  Her feet spread apart slightly and she twists, stretching first one arm, then the other.  As she swings her arms slightly to loosen them up, she nods faintly.

"Could totally pick you up," she decides, and that's all the warning he gets before she moves, planning to grab him.

bar-talkblues:

“Only been here a few years.” He said, matter-of-factly, knowing full well that didn’t mean anything as far as stories went.  “Besides what good does it do me to tell stories to folks that ain’t paying?” He’s teasing. She does enough work here he’d never ask her to pay a thing. And truth is he’s got a few he’s about dying for someone to tell.

"Oh, like you've let me pay for anything after that first night."  Tifa grinned as she straightened up a little more, propping her head on one hand.  Her fingers drummed lightly on the counter.

He may not have let her pay for anything after that night, but it hasn't stopped her from leaving money in the tip jar when he wasn't looking.  She's pretty sure he knew, but so long as he didn't ask, she wasn't telling.

"Besides, you and I both know that's more than enough time for you to have stories.  You're a story kind of guy."

[lockhart1stclass-archive]

@bar-talkblues

Tifa sighed, stretching out her arms over the bar until her fingers dangled on the other side.  Normally, she wouldn't be quite this easy here, but it was late.  Even for the bar.  It was almost deserted.

"Johny," she said, a smile warming her voice.  "C'mon, you got to have some good stories about this place.  Share one?"
