MUSESOFTHESUN ≡ this is a semi-selective, mutually exclusive para multimuse roleplay blog. this blog contains muses from a variety of media, including obscure ones. not spoiler-free, and uses the beta editor. read rules before interacting. affiliated with @musesofthemoon and @starmuscd!

a study in: the psychology & cognition of characters, friendship & hatred, atypical bonds, second chances, horror & trauma, & the recovery from horrible past experiences — there will be dark themes such as horror, violence, exploration of mental illness, ptsd, and trauma on this blog.

PRIORITY MUSES: siffrin, yatta, razzle&dazzle, cosmo, vee, idia

RULES BELOW CUT.

RULES. hello, hello! I’m Ender, an adult (20) gal with autism and ADHD, majoring in psychology. Thanks for taking the time to read this! There’s no password to send in, so no need to look for one! Please read these carefully. Be 16 or above to interact.

TRIGGERS. (i NEED these tagged. i have a physiological and psychological response to these topics that can greatly affect my mental health. My catch-all tags are "ender dont look" and "ender don't look".)

any religious themes in fiction and/or religious intolerance. /!\ when it comes to deltarune specifically, i can tolerate mentions of c.hurch and such, so long as the themes aren't super emphasized upon!

use of the word “god” in reference to powerful beings. Replacing such things with “ruler”/etc and generally making relations akin to king/subjects are good buffers that I can work with.

excessive verbal swearing

craneflies and daddy-long-legs

Extremely heavy organic gore visuals, especially in regard to the nervous system, organs, guts, and the heart. child (under 4years old) gore

vi.vziepop, good om.ens, supern.atural, c.ult of the l.mb

SQUICKS. i'd appreciate these being tagged as well, but they do not spawn a severe reaction from me. i just want to avoid them.

all smut and lewd content

Politics/Drama

TAGGING. I tag writing and fictional-related talk of potentially triggering topics as #trigger cw. Images are tagged as #trigger image cw— various medias are tagged as #☼ = media. If I miss anything or you need something tagged, please tell me in DMs! I’m happy to help you curate your experience and I want everyone to stay safe. /gen

INTERACTIONS.

non-roleplay blogs, please do not reblog any of my posts. if it's someone else's art/musing/photo/etc I've reblogged, those are free game! but please do not touch posts made by me whether they are in-character, out-of-character, or just my sketches. thanks!

I am mutually exclusive but am generally super friendly! I'll give nearly everyone a chance, even if I don’t know the muse or media! Crossovers, even with no plotting beforehand, are really fun.

I require a rules page to read before I follow, and won’t follow until I’ve read the rules. I tend to like promos to bookmark them so I can read the person’s rules later.

I won’t follow people who do not tag any of their posts. even basic “ic” or “ooc” or “musing” tags and such are good! I don’t care how fancy or simple your tags are, I just care that you have them and use them consistently.

Specifying muse when you send things in is appreciated. I will skip those who do not specify on starter calls, but if it’s an ask or meme then simply expect my current highest muse if you do not specify.

I am duplicate and OC-friendly! For OCs, I require at least a simple About page to look at ‘cause I prefer to know your character a little before interacting! Duplicates are also fun for me to plot with ‘cause past/future meetings, AU meets canon, etc. are SUPER epic plots and very fun! I’m very used to duplicates and have been for years across different RPCs ^.^

I do not roleplay in “character: text” or *action* format. I prefer to interact with people who roleplay paragraph style and have a basic grasp of grammar, punctuation, and spelling; I completely understand if English isn’t your first language, though!

I do not mind unplotted violence against my muses, but make sure you are prepared for the consequences. I love action and battle threads, but any permanent kills must be plotted.

MUN POLICIES.

Mun does NOT equal muse. Just because I, the mun, think or know something does not mean that my muses will. I’m an omnipresent narrator, they are characters in-universe. They each will have different thoughts and opinions than I will. It should go without saying that I do not condone everything any of my muses do.

I am a slow writer. I have college and several other things that take up my time, so I can’t be here twenty-four-seven! Also, my muse fluctuates. I may reply to something instantly if I have the muse for it, or I may get to it weeks later. I hoard drafts and asks like a dragon to get to them eventually! BUT feel free to nudge me if you want to remind me, I won’t mind!

Importantly, I match my partner’s energy. If someone frequently engages me to talk about our characters, I’m likely to do the same! Unfortunately, the same applies if we hardly interact or talk at all; I’m good at interacting and communicating first, but I have a limited pool of energy.

I do not ship romantically on this blog, minus with mixed-up-multiverse/gracie. I don’t mind others’ romantic content, I simply personally abstain from writing romantic ships due to being harassed over them in the past. However, I love familial ships, platonic ships, rivalries, work relationships, enemy/antagonistic dynamics, and relations that can't necessarily be defined with words!

ON FANDOMS & MEDIA.

Expect headcanons to sometimes fluctuate and also expect canon divergence. I also am keen on plotting when interactions take place, but no pressure!

I am unaffiliated with any fandoms or creators.

some icons for DR muses are sourced from goomyloid. for UT/DR, i subscribe to this interpretation.

I will interact with/make AUs for the following fandoms. Still, they can be tagged upon request: Final Fantasy(i know the most about VII, VIII, IX, X, XV, Unlimited, Dissidia, Dissidia 012), Sonic The Hedgehog, Pokemon, Portal, Gravity Falls, Ducktales 2017, A Hat in Time, Little Nightmares, Over The Garden Wall, OMORI, IB, The Legend of Zelda, DELTARUNE, UNDERTALE, Don’t Starve, Pocket Mirror, Super Mario Bros., Spiderverse, and Overwatch. I am very selective but not opposed to Five Nights at Freddy's, Murder Drones and The Amazing Digital Circus interactions. For these, if I followed you first/we’re mutuals, then we’re chill!

& that's all! Please check out the muse list ^v^!

// yo. i cant promise im 100% back yet, but finals are nearly over. i thiiiiink imma do some cleaning up here by completely deleting my inbox and drafts, as well as unfollowing/softblocking some people that havent been active in like a year. also i fear i now have a limb/us compan/y muse

he growls like a small dog. nobody will be biting or eating him today!

[musesofthesun]

stressed cake roll sounds.

[muses0fgracie]

BAM! Bleugh--

The punch and headbutt are both enough to knock the twisted paintbrush backwards, though the headbutt is what causes her to gag and cough up the ichor bubbling in her throat. It splatters and spills onto the floor, staining the wood and the carpet. A tissue box is going to have to clean that later.

That seems to get just enough of the horrible substance out of her throat to sound coherent for when she next speaks, and with what she says next, now it's clear what she wanted.

"You're gonna be the paint... I waSN'T ASKING!"

With the grace of an animal, the twisted paintbrush practically pounced, raised the small brush in her hand into the air again, not caring for what specific part of him that she were to hit, and--

STAB!

Ow. That would have had to hurt.

[musesofthesun]

cosmo hardly comprehends the words. his heart pounds in his ears, a lopsided beat. his vision blurs as the movement occurs, far too quick for him to track. the sensation immediately afterward—oh, he knows it well. the toughened brush pierces through solidified ichor on his head, and pain shoots through his broken body. he's still. inky tears well up in his eye.

a sob turns into a snarl, which rapidly rises in volume. his eye locks onto the cruel toon. his clawed hand rapidly rises, gripping the other's wrist that holds the paintbrush. claws curl around, then yank down with enough force to break bone; he does his best to keep the brush stuck in his head, while wresting her grip from it. removing the brush would cause excessive bleeding.

with hold secure hold of her arm, cosmo shifts his stance. he lifts her, slamming her into the ground next to him harshly. cosmo releases her and takes the opportunity to back away. his voice, suddenly clear as day, rings out in a hoarse shout:

"leave me alone!"

[musesofthesun]

on the properties of ichor & twisting.

ichor has been said to be gelatin/slime like, so i mostly based my research off that. gelatin is a substance derived from animal proteins—namely, collagen, which is found in muscular connective tissue. this will be important further on.

ichor is a non-sentient, bloodlike structure that contains structural proteins.

since we now know twisting is caused by Death/Major Injury, these proteins in ichor must be damaged enough to be aggravated in some way—likely by stress hormones—and therefore ichor becomes a muscle-controlling disease akin to cordyceps, where it doesn't affect the brain but rather affects musculature. this results in loss of fine motor control or most motor control in any affected areas.

"death" in this case may refer to the excessive external exposure of toon ichor to air. since ichor has a variety of thickness states (liquid distillation in machines, thick in ichor leaks) it is likely that toon ichor is highly distilled. when exposed to air, toon ichor clots and pathogens creep in. Gardenview is not a sterile lab setting, especially with its numerous amounts of visitors. there are many molecules and pathogens in the air, so ichor could react to those in a variety of unknown ways.

due to excessive stress hormones, the mental perception of the host can be altered. when a human is super stressed and has all that oxytocin, adrenaline, and the like being fired off, can they think straight? most often the answer is no.

this is also why heavy emotional states can lead to the lethals twisting back and forth, because emotions are connected to hormones and will invoke stress hormones.

IMPORTANTLY, oxytocin, the "lovebug" hormone that causes people to seek out help or comfort, is a stress hormone. this lines up with how some of the twisteds look distressed when attacking: it is possible that they intend to grasp for some form of comfort (i.e. twisted astro hugging attack) but the cordycepts muscular-like disease prevents them from having full muscular articulation.

as toon blood; antigens and antibodies are what make the basic human blood types incompatible, since immune systems freak out when an antigen that isn't native to the system is detected. this is likely part of why contact with ichor in leaks contracts illness III.

i'll likely have more to say as i & musesofthemoon analyze it further with our psychology and biology knowledge, but this is it for now. thank you for reading! feel free to comment if you have any thoughts :>
