This is an ask and roleplay blog. Anons and non roleplay blogs are more than welcome to ask Ax any questions they've had, which will be answered by the muse in character to the best of my ability.
GENERAL RULES
BE KIND, REWIND. Please understand basic roleplaying etiquette when following. If you cannot comprehend basic decorum, our interactions will cease.
ADULTS ONLY. I'm nearly 40. Please don't follow unless you're 21 or older. NSFW will appear on this blog on occasion-- though mostly pertaining to heavier themes of death, violence, the horrors of war, and other topics. Triggers will be tagged [tag] tw. The source material deals with some heavy themes as well, so let me know if I should tag anything.
CHARACTER. I've been writing Ax since I was in AOL chatrooms roleplaying as a kid. This muse is heavily canon based with minor changes to some canon events. His post canon AUs are entirely my creation, or a collaboration between myself and my writing partner[s].
NARRATION. Animorphs might be written in first person, but I exclusively write in third person and prefer to write with others who do the same. I am absolutely fine writing with partners whose first language isn't English.
PRIVACY. This is a private and selective blog. I exclusively write with mutuals. I'm hub blog and sideblog friendly, provided you still have rules and info on your muses. Please don't try to circumvent this by roleplaying in my inbox-- roleplay attempts from non mutuals will be deleted and disregarded.
SELECTIVE. Please have at least an about page for your OCs. I am not a mind reader. If there's little or no info for me to go on, I will likely pass on following back.
ACTIVITY. This blog is low activity-- with spurts of higher activity. Primary blog is @nerditudes. This is a multimuse-- which may be where Ax will end up again. Who knows?
ART. Andalite!Ax icons were made specifically for my old blog-- and I have permission from the artist to use them where I'd like! Please don't yoink my icons without asking.
SHIPPING
GENERAL. Ax is an alien stuck stranded on an alien planet-- finding a partner is literally the furthest thing from his mind. As such, romantic shipping is not a priority here.
ORIENTATION. I write Ax as a demiromantic asexual-- he really has no interest in physical intimacy, but his hearts SOAR when someone brings him cinnamon buns. Ax is also extremely emotionally constipated as a direct result of his military training and culture.
NSFW. I don't intend to write smut on here like-- ever. Though NSFW might still appear, it will be in the form of mentions of violence and trauma, as stated above. The series does have some pretty gory moments-- and morphing itself is described as a horrifying process to watch, even if it's painless.
ROMANCE. Shipping in his canon timeline [during the series] is only open to muses who are in his age demographic [14-16]. For his adult post-series AU-- he's open to shipping with adults of any species, but his heart is hard won.
PLATONIC. Ax loves his found family on Earth-- especially his schorm, Tobias. Please do not ask me to write these boys as anything other than family. Ship what you wanna ship, but keep that one from me. Ax is his uncle. They're blood related.
MODERATION
COMBAT. Not really my thing, but there's a lot of it in the series so it may be unavoidable for certain plots. I'd prefer if combat threads were plotted roughly ahead of time, and then played out with a bit of improv, but an outcome we've already decided as writers.
ACTIVITY. Roleplay is meant to be a relaxing hobby. As such, my activity will reflect this. I'm also a chronically ill dude who works as a comedian on the internet, so I might be less active around the holidays, when I tend to be booked the most.
THREADS. If you ever loose interest, I am thread dropping friendly. No need to tell me. You can also reply on your own time-- literally do not care if you take a week, a month, a year.
INTERACTIONS. Mutuals can like starter calls, send memes, or invade the askbox at will with whatever shenanigans you desire. I do welcome asks from non mutuals and anons-- so please pester Ax with any questions you've got. I do not engage in magic anons.
CONSENT. Respect my NO or your mama is a hoe. I've got the right to say no to any thread/concept/theme/idea-- and so do you! I want writing on this blog to be an enjoyable experience with my mutuals-- so please discuss shit before springing it in a thread.
