ok. here’s the deal. canon is killing me. killing my muse. um. i’ve got @dstinctive & @nonightoff currently if you need to locate me. & an upcoming re-make of my wanda maximoff blog. you may see me here. this is not an official hiatus notice or anything. just a heads-up where you’re more likely to find me.
just some stuff I wanted to get off my chest. mostly personal, but relating to rp as well I suppose.

an rp guide to making drafts more fun and less stressful
if you’re like me you tend to stockpile replies like you’re preparing for the apocalypse, and there are times when i look at that large number (across multiple blogs whoops) and wonder WHAT THE FUCK HAVE I DONE I WILL NEVER DO ALL OF THESE.
BUT FEAR NOT. i have compiled a list of tips i’ve gathered over my 13+ years of rping that have made chugging out responses as stress free and fun as possible. take them or leave them, i hope you find some use in it!
1. never ever EVER EVER give yourself a “due-date” DON’T DO IT. PLEASE DON’T. I MEAN IT. you can set a goal, that’s awesome. say, ‘hey! i want to get x amount of drafts done today’, but don’t ever tell yourself you HAVE to. this is a hobby, for FUN. when you go into your drafts with a due-date, you go into your drafts with initial stress and if you don’t meet your self-determined quota you’re going to feel bad and you should never feel bad when you write for fun. when you sit down to do drafts just tell yourself, i’m gonna work on these today and see where i get. as long as the only concrete goal you give yourself is to try, then you’re already on the right track!
2. first thoughts, jot them down! when you go to draft your posts/like it/save it/whatever you do to keep track of your drafts, you should try to jot down a few “first thoughts” before you do so. this is just something i do personally, it’s always helped me out. when i get a reply from my partner, before i go to draft it, i make some bullet points where i would respond; my muses initial internal reaction, possible dialogue, and my muses initial external response. even if you come back to it a week later and take a gander at the reply in your drafts, you can gloss over what you wrote down to try and bring some inspiration back for the reply. you can change your mind, keep it the same, whatever. it just helps brings you back to how you first responded to the reply and spark some creativity.
3. respond in the order you want to, not the order received this isn’t a job at the local diner, you don’t have to rotate drafts like FIFO (first in first out.) your reply isn’t going to ‘spoil’ the longer you have it in your drafts. if one draft jumps out at you more than the other, DO THAT ONE. your rp partner will (they should) understand muses can be fickle and you have preferences. when you force yourself to do a draft, it tends to come out less than stellar, or not like you wanted, and you’ll just frustrate yourself further.
4. when you DO decide to sit down and write drafts, get comfy! listen to music? like white noise? need some generic background noise? put that shit on! even if you’re responding mobile in class (shame on you) or at home naked in your bedroom, try to make yourself as comfortable as possible. me? i prefer silence or soft ambient music in the privacy of my room, but that’s just a preference. i tend to write better when i feel the most comfortable.
5. TALK TO YOUR RP PARTNERS!!!! trust me i doubt they are going to mind if you head into their im/skype/inbox/whatever and ask questions you have as they come along. if there’s something in their reply you want clarified to help you in yours, ASK! even if there’s no question, i highly encourage you talk to who you’re writing with, especially for longer, more plotted threads; it’s no secret that you tend to write better with people you know/get along with. ask them to chat about their muse in that specific setting, maybe talk over a couple possibilities in the near future, get some inspiration just by chatting. i understand for some of us, talking with others we don’t know is a daunting task, but just try to remember we’re all here for the same reason; we want to write, and have fun, and be creative. the worst thing someone can say to you when you ask for feedback or input is ‘no’, and tbh if they say that then i think you’ve dodged a bullet lmfao
6. PRAISE YOURSELF for the love of god don’t be ashamed to say HEY I DID ONE DRAFT TODAY GO ME. even if its one out of 100, you still DID IT and that’s AWESOME! the more you congratulate yourself and the more you believe in what you create, the easier creating more will be.
7. don’t be afraid to back out of some things this one is the hardest for me to follow, because i love everyone i write with and i tend to not want to let go of threads. but if there’s that one draft you constantly look at every time you try to get some done and it just makes you sad because you’re not sure, you’re never sure how to respond, maybe it’s time to move along. that feeling effects your overall mood and tends to make writing for other drafts more difficult. DO NOT FEEL BAD WHEN YOU DO THIS, DON’T YOU DARE. think of it more as…putting it aside for the time being. you can always revisit that particular plot/scenario at a later date, and your rp partner will understand. if they don’t, if they pressure you to keep a draft that only proceeds to upset you when you go into your drafts, you do not need to write with them. repeat after me, my lovely creative nuggets, you do not owe anyone anything. you don’t. i repeat, THIS IS FOR FUN. this is a hobby. you are not getting paid and unless your rp partner is paying you by the word, do not let them control what you reply to and when.
8. don’t be afraid to start NEW things don’t punish yourself. i see it all the time, people joke about having too many drafts and yet they do starter calls, reblogs memes, whathaveyou. THATS OK STOP FEELING BAD ABOUT IT! if you need some creative juices flowing, and your drafts don’t look appealing, then reblog that meme! ask for some starters! as long as you keep writing, inspiration will find you in time, i promise.
9. HAVE FUN. i’ve said it like 89745974 times but i cannot stress it enough. rping is for fun. it should always make you feel better, not worse. if it takes you two days to do 20 drafts, or two weeks to do 1, that’s ok. the more you worry about ‘losing followers’ or interest in your muse, the more stressed youre going to make yourself which in turn makes focusing harder which makes writing harder and then your drafts contiue to sit even longer. it’s a vicious cycle we all fall into sometimes, and that’s ok. just because you’re stressing about it doesn’t mean you’re terrible, we all do. just TRY to recognize the signs when you’re doing it, and pep yourself up. talk to someone. maybe just chat about your muse with a friend if you can. if you get drafts done by the end of the day, great! if you don’t, you don’t, and that’s ok too.

Unwanted Attention
Enzo wasn’t exactly one to clean up others messes, body guard or not, but Kol had looked put out enough with the whole situation (not to mentioned scared) that this time Enzo had no issues with getting the place back in order while the witch was…busy.
It was easy enough to compel the staff into cleaning up the place, into replacing what needed replacing and within an hour it looked like should have when they first stepped off the elevator. He’d even gone as far as to compel the security footage in hopes of finding something…it hadn’t helped at all. If anyone knew what was going on here it would be Kol, Elijah had been right in the idea he needed help, but it didn’t seem like he was willing to talk in the slightest. The thought was an annoying one, Enzo was fairly used to getting what he wanted and Kol wasn’t being helpful.
When everyone was gone he made his way to the bedroom door he’d watched Kol disappear behind and briefly wondered how far gone off of V he would be by now. Reaching out he drummed his fingers over the door in what was a poor excuse of a knock.
“Rooms cleaned,” he said knowing the other could hear him through the wood. “I think it’s about time we have some sort of talk about this Kol.”
If he needed he would call Elijah, honestly that sort of petty underhanded tattle telling wasn’t beyond him…not when he was being paid handsomely to keep this kid safe.
kol wasn’t sure how long he’d spent locked in the bathroom. time wasn’t the same on V. there was just the visceral swirl of existence as the worry began to fade. nothing had changed, he was a mikaelson, he had nothing to fear from a petty stalker with a flair for the dramatic ( & he wasn’t going to have his good time ruined. ) though he was re-considering playing ball with elijah’s guard dog. having enzo here, well, that was one of the reasons he’d been able to get his shit together. as much as he’d been ignoring the daily text messages, he’d also been ignoring the effect they’d been having on him. the sliver of doubt, of fear, that had slipped under his skin. the tone of enzo’s voice at the door actually makes the young witch smirk, it was something approaching gentle humming with an underlying irritation. three steps on uncertain legs see him to the door, which he unlocks with a click he knows the vampire will hear, before turning back toward the bed. the AC blasting in the room has his eyes darting around for his missing jacket, but there was no sign of it, so he drops himself onto the king size bed with a groan; brain still buzzing with the remnants of his high. ❛ I was thinking something along those lines myself, ❜ tight denim strains as he shifts & twist around until he’s looking back toward the vampire. ❛ back in the desert. I was shown something; a warning, it’s not just my living family that thinks i’m not taking this seriously enough, but my ancestors as well. the loft when we arrived...well, it’s hard to ignore that now isn’t it? ❜

❛ hope doesn’t make you a fool. they’re your family. ❜ a pause, a small smile playing on her lips. ❛ even if they really suck. ❜
there’s an obligatory flash of a smile. ❛ less than an hour after my wretch of a brother tries to off you for cursing him, & you’re still trying to cheer me up? ❜ he couldn’t believe what she’d done for him. the same curse finn had used to murder him was now torturing the insufferable git with a fate so much WORSE than death to his brother. immortality as one of them. ❛ I don’t deserve a girl like you.❜
“–Nope, I think–yeah, I think I’m fine.”
❛ well you should be feeling much improved, ❜ vampire blood had that effect, & original blood, that was the TOP SHELF stuff. ❛ back to ill-advised heroics in no time i’m sure. ❜
❛ so you really can see me then? I wasn’t quite certain, but it appears for the time being I have your attention . ❜
