introductory post

hello! I'm martin. I enjoy simple things like tea, poetry, and the sound of rain. I made this blog to share my poetry with the world. I hope someone out there likes it, at least!

I get kind of bored and lonely sometimes so asks are appreciated, I'll likely answer

it shouldn't have to be said, but please use common sense when interacting. if you make me uncomfortable I will not hesitate blocking you

thanks everyone, I'll see you around soon

ooc: I'm pretty new to roleplaying on tumblr so bear with me

+ I do my best to be in character but if I miss something, please tell me!! I want to learn and improve >:3

I appreciate any reblogs + adding on to my posts! if I don't respond, it's likely because I can't think of anything to add, not because I don't like you etc

Your windows are surprisingly easy to unlock from the outside. I like to watch you while you sleep. You snore really loud.

excuse me???

ooc: hello all, about the lack of posts: I'm taking a bit of a break to relax, and I'll be back when I feel like my in-character motivation has returned

I try to make my pauses in posting in-character and intentional (to my time zone and when work hours are), although recently it has been a lull due to personal lack of time/motivation. my motivation will come back soon, I'm sure (with the blessing that is adhd lol)

I hope you have had fun with this blog thus far, and I look forward to posting in the future! in the meantime, feel free to continue sending asks, I will get to them eventually

thank you.

Sooo… Martin. I heard through the grapevine that someone else might be uh… pursuing Jon… romantically.

Any opinions on that or-?

wha- what?? who??

[martblackwood]

there's these weird worm things appearing outside my door, but they're all dead. I can't get a good photo for some reason either- I have a very bad feeling about this. I really shouldn't have broken into that house...

[martblackwood]

wait WAIT. are they really... attacking them?? I've never seen spiders act like these ones. seriously.

since when did spiders eat worms??

[martblackwood]

they're gone.

Ah, the classic creepy corpse lady! Just spray the larvae with a fire extinguisher if you got one on hand. Don’t let them get on you, they leave a pretty nasty bite!

If they do get on you, you’ll have to cut them out before they burrow too deep. :)

oh!!!!!! so reassuring!!!!!! thanks for the advice though? that is, if it works

[martblackwood]

Cant you hear them singing? Open your door martin, let them in.

what... are you mad??? no!!! I'm not going to!!!

I went to investigate a statement at the end of the day today, and thing did NOT go like normal... I saw this weird... woman? she looked sick. not just sick. she looked... decayed, or infested. I don't know what was wrong with her. she started to approach me, but then stopped. I wasn't going to stick around, so I left as fast as I could. embarrassingly I dropped my phone, but strangely enough I found it on my bedside table just an hour ago? I genuinely have no clue how it got there, because I distinctly remember dropping it as I was leaving out the window... this whole thing is so weird I really hope she didn't follow me or anything aurghh

[therotwielder]

Christ, are you okay!? She didn't, like, hurt you or anythin', right?

[martblackwood]

not that I can tell, although my skin still feels like it's crawling... I don't like it.

Have you considered maybe leaving little treats for Jon to show your affection? I’d hate for you to just stew in your feelings, I know it’s tough to deal with that.

Maybe you could even leave a poem or two..? :3

despite everything happening lately, I'm feeling strangely... confident? like I have the power to make things go my way. maybe it's just tim rubbing off on me but... I'm feeling like I can be a bit more direct. we'll see how it goes tomorrow

[clairesconnections]

Soooooo how’d it go? Get the ✨man of your dreams?✨

[martblackwood]

I bought a pastry after I got off the tube and gave it to jon along with his usual tea. I asked him if he's "ever looking for anything sweet" I "have something extra". his expression was one of concern and slight terror. I was confused at first, but then I realized there were spiders crawling out of his tea. I don't think he heard what I said...

[martblackwood]

You.

Enter a very tall, very intimidating woman in a trench coat. Totally not ominous!

Do you know of a man named Jonathan Sims? He has something of mine, and I need to get it back urgently.

(@tma-synthia-brunhilde)

yes, he's my boss. what are you looking for exactly...?

your freaking drunk love confession is probably the best thing I’ve ever seen.

glad you think so, I've spent the weekend in trying to forget it T^T ughh so embarrassing...

at least tim and I had fun, I guess that was my only slip up while drunk, thank god. next time, no drinks for me
