about this blog

i’m open to all but mutuals get priority

i’m multi-verse and multi-ship (no cheating plots w/o other mun’s consent)

smut is extremely selective and highly unlikely. i have some mild trauma related to it so i may reblog some spicy memes every so often but they generally won’t often be turned into threads and the default will be fade to black

This blog is OC, crossover, multi-muse, and duplicate friendly

ask box, messages, and im services are always open, i’m very responsive there discord: orchestraheart

NOTE: i will need you to trim replies if you’re using legacy text editor paired with editable reblogs. i have access to the legacy text editor but trimming on new xkit had been totally broken for me since 2020. i now fully use beta and trim reblogs.

NOTE 2: i do post some political content on this blog. as an american, they tell us we can’t be silent without being complacent, but more importantly to me, i don’t want any misunderstandings about where i stand since that has to happen sometimes irl for safety. in addition to this, a few of my muses (april, ivy, addie) are very much affected by current us politics so it’s a topic that makes it’s way on here because of that as well. i’ll do my best to tag them CURRENT EVENTS or POLITICS depending on which applies.

She put her face against Glinda’s and kissed her. “Hold out, if you can,” she murmured, and kissed her again. “Hold out, my sweet.”

"Well, it's not something I do that often anymore either," Lilia admitted. "Mostly because where I come from they've become this absurd emblem of our culture, and were used multiple times as justification to demonise us, arrest us, and execute us. But," she added, forcing herself to refocus. "That's not important right now. Look around you." She gestured to the woods surrounding them. "Find something you could use as a broom, decorate it, make a gift of it."

[orchestrahearts]

Linda frowned. Demonize, arrest, and execute? What kind of place did Lilia come from? Maybe it was just because there’s always been magic here, but witches were never a target of public attack. Though she was well aware of the other groups that’d been targets. She looked around the woods for a nice looking piece of wood, picking one out and picking it up. She channeled some energy through it, causing a few blooms and vines to form on it before turning back to Lilia. “Like this?”

Kristin Chenoweth as Olive Snook in Pushing Daisies (2007—2009)

[orchestrahearts]

so… 👉🏼👈🏼

i’m turning 30 tomorrow. wtf.

[givemeameme-blog]

Reblog if you are willing to write in-depth, significant, and valued FRIENDSHIPS.

There is so much focus on romantic/sexual relationships lately. Friendships are incredibly important for characters too, and deserve as much love and attention as romantic/sexual relationships.

[diviningtime]

Lilia gave an incline of the heard, offering Glinda a supportive wink.

"Got it in one, kiddo," she confirmed. "Not everyone grasps that so clearly; people spend their whole lives seeing the world a certain way and find it hard to imagine it can work in any other. Usually I have to explain things a hell of a lot more."

[orchestrahearts]

“Really?” Glinda furrowed her eyebrows. “I suppose since so many things here are experienced differently here than in other places, it just makes sense.” She couldn’t think of another reason why she seemed to somewhat understand it when others were unable to. It felt good, though, understanding something even a little that others seemed not to.

I love how Pushing Daisies isn’t necessarily a full on musical, but it’ll occasionally spoil us with songs sung by the two Broadway girlies

[diviningtime]

"You really think the broom could make itself fly?" Lilia asked, sceptical that anyone could actually come to that conclusion. "A broom is just a branch, it can't do anything until we do. What makes it fly is the exchange; we don't make our own brooms, we make them for each other" she explained. "Witches either fly together or we don't fly at all."

[orchestrahearts]

Linda shrugged slightly. “I never learned anything about brooms.” She nodded, considering what Lilia was telling her. “I’ve never flown before. I’ve done other kinds of magic, but never flying.”

for those who’ve been hurt … sentence starters 

tw: victim-blaming / dismissing hurt.  change pronouns / wording as needed

“You deserved better.”

“You’ve lost a lot, haven’t you?”

“I mean, you hurt them a lot, too.”

“I won’t hurt you the way they did.”

“You deserve to feel safe. And happy.”

“There’s nothing wrong with being wary.”

“You never shouldn’t been treated that way.”

“They aren’t here. they can’t hurt you, again.”

“How long are you going to let this affect you?”

“I know you don’t trust me, yet, and that’s okay.”

“I’m sorry. I want to earn your trust back. Please.”

“No, I’m not upset with you, why would you — oh.”

“You’ve been through a lot. It’s okay. We’ll take it slow.”

“Why can’t you just get over it? It happened so long ago.”

“You haven’t said a word since it happened. Are you okay?”

“You’re still healing. It’s only natural you don’t trust anyone, yet.”

“Why didn’t you ever tell someone what you were going through?”

“What happened to you was unfair… it’s okay to be angry about it.”

“Do you think you’ll ever be able to forgive them for what they did?”

“You’re a better person than they ever were, and this just proves it.”

“If you ever want to talk about it, you know I’ll always be here to listen.”

“You’re safe here. I know it’ll take you a while to believe it, but you are.”

“Just because they hurt you doesn’t mean everyone else is out to get you, too.”

“I know you’ve been hurt in the past, and I promise, I’ll never let that happen, again.”

“Cry. Scream. Break something if you need to. Just… you need to process this somehow.”

“OLD” MUSES ARE NOT “UNSHIPPABLE”.

You can still find love at 35, 50, 75, and beyond.

The RPC tends to neglect muses over 35 and resources for more mature FCs.

Life doesn’t end after your 20s. It’s not too late to find love.

Older muses and faceclaims deserve love and appreciation too!

[rpmemes-galore]

that comforting / reassuring vibe … sentence starters

“You can squeeze my hand if you need to.”

“You are so beautiful. It pains me you can’t see it.”

“You’ve been through so much… you deserve to rest.”

“You’re scared. It’s okay to admit it, there’s no shame in it.”

“I’m always going to have your back. You know that, right?”

“There’s nothing to be scared of. No one can hurt you here.”

“You don’t have to be perfect. I would never expect you to be.”

“Here, punch this pillow. Do it. I swear it’ll help you feel better.”

“I’m here, whether you need hugs, or ice cream, or… anything.”

“I’m here for you. I will always be here for you, as long as I live.”

“Don’t let them get under your skin. You’re more than their jeers.”

“No, there’s nothing wrong with crying. Shhhh, there, let it all out.”

“You look like you need a hug. Do you want me to give you a hug?”

“You’re one of the strongest people I’ve ever met. you’ll survive this.”

“I swear, I’ll never let anyone hurt you, again. You’ll be safe with me.”

“No one expects you to be indestructible. It’s alright to break sometimes.”

“There is nothing you could ever do or say that would make me love you less.”

“Do you want to just order pizza, watch a movie, and forget about it all for a minute?”

“Even after all you’ve been through, you still have the gentlest soul. I admire that about you.”

“You don’t always have to be the hero. sometimes it’s okay for other people to save you, too.”

“If you need to scream… scream. You’ve been bottling this all up for so long, you need to let it out somehow.”

“You know, you’re braver than anyone I’ve ever met. If there’s anyone who can get through this, it’s you.”

“You always feel like you have to carry the weight of everyone else’s worlds… why? It’s alright to look after yourself, too.”

[diviningtime]

Lilia gave a large shrug, unable to answer the question with any kind of specifics.

"Age doesn't really have a factor in the order of things," she told her wryly, thinking of the times when she had found herself fourteen again. Or twelve. Or twenty. Or a hundred. "The flow of time is an illusion for everyone, even you. I'm just the only person I know who actually sees it,"

[orchestrahearts]

Glinda nodded slowly, her eyebrows still furrowed. She wasn’t certain she fully understood, but she was doing her best to do so. “So time works differently than how everyone else experiences it,” she summarized.

Olive ran up to the Doctor, jumping at him as she wrapped her arms around him. She was probably overreacting, but she was prone to it as she hugged the Time Lord. She knew pretty much every time things went sideways traveling with him, she still sometimes worried that this time, he wouldn’t come back.

[thedoctornumber11]

"Hello, I'm happy to see you as well," he told her, hugging her back tightly. "What have you been up to on Earth?"

[orchestrahearts]

“Nothin’ much, there’s never that much happenin’ around here,” she said, giving a small shrug.
