Here are some rules and other things you need to know to keep things orderly. Lets begin-
What is this blog?
An open verse, non-selective, literate roleplay blog for my original character, Inna! Inna is an antique automaton who has become self-aware after existing for a few centuries. She’s mute, but she’s very expressive. She’s also a beacon for all sorts of magical (and sometimes eldritch) creatures.
How do I Roleplay with you?
Memes. Opened posts. Shoot me an ask or even a message! You can also come say hi if you want. c:
I am always accepting magical anons.
Also feel free to check out my settings tag. I can easily put together a starter based on a setting and Inna can interact with your characters that way.
What are your Rules?
I am of age, I will only be playing smutty things with those above 18
No pictures, unless it’s a sketch rp
Do not reblog my threads with other people! -If you want to rp with me, start another thread. You are also more than welcomed to reference other threads going on in the new thread. MORE THAN welcomed to...
I don’t rp with face claims. Most people in Hollywood dont look like my muses any way.
Paragraph rp only (using quotations, no action marks)
No youtube, bands, or any plots involving actual people. Let them live their lives-
Third person only, novel format
No self insert characters, cause it’s awkward.
ROLEPLAYERS ONLY.
If our personalities don’t mesh well, please understand. I like to work on plots with people and it helps if I get along with them well.
No kinks that clash with my logical sensibilities, ask.
What is your Roleplay Style?
I would describe my style as very whimsical. I can play really off the wall things (random monster attacks, destruction of cities, talking furniture, you name it-). Give me a random prompt and there is a 85% chance I’ll answer it. So please do. –Give me your prompts!!!! >:U
I do do plotting and plans, but I like a partner that will keep me on my toes. Contribute to the thread. Take it in a direction. Redirect a thread from a direction I’m taking it in. This is the way to keep me engaged in our thread, okay? Otherwise I do:
Third person narrative ONLY
Novel format (new lines and quotations) with minimal formatting or reaction images. I do however occasionally sketch my reaction images. You can find those at this tag: sketch rp
3-6 sentences a post - which you DO NOT HAVE TO MATCH!! Just give me something to work with.
I can do longer posts if I really like what you’re writing about. /)u(\ Please don’t be intimidated, I just really like your writing.
NPCs (Non playable characters) or additional characters to the stories that push them along. I usually have 2-3 characters in an rp.
PRESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIPS (please!) come talk to me about it
Roleplaying tags- look for your tag (ask me) or your url to find your rp thread
Setting tags- I also sort roleplays on this blog into settings.
AUS!!!!! (Alternative Universes)- She often ends up in different planes of reality, since shes a beacon for magical creatures. I can also do modern stuff with her or play in other settings. Lets talk okay?
Rebellious girls in the 1920s wanted to anger and shock their Victorian-era parents, so not only would they bare their knees with short dresses, but they would also paint pictures to make sure an onlooker didn’t miss their risque hem length. Rolled stockings became a fad with the shorter hemlines, and girls would go get roses, butterflies, ocean scenes, or their dogs’ faces painted on their knees to further push their boundaries.
Much like with most makeup in women’s history, this wasn’t just an act of creativity, but an assertion of independence. After World War I, more women gained financial independence with work, broke away from chaperoned parlor dates, and became a part of the public by walking the city streets without a guardian. The new generation felt a need to express this clear break from the old era of Gibson Girls and Victorian women, and they did so with the help of paint and knee rouge.
“Because of rolled stockings and short skirts they, like their fair owners, are emancipated,” The San Francisco Examinershared in 1925. The girls were no longer wearing the oppressive corsets of the previous generation, which is partly why rolled stockings became a fad — there was nowhere to clip their hosiery to.
Painted knees were also an experiment in owning sexuality. Rouged knees would seem flushed (hinting at sex,) and painted knees would bring attention to body parts that were stigmatized just a few short decades back. But these moments of self-rule were oftentimes punished, as students in Ohio Northern learned in 1925. Girls had been drawing roses on their knees, and the dean called an emergency meeting to get them to stop.
“It was intimated that some of the professors had not been able to do their best work owing to the profusion of knees in certain classes, that it is difficult for a mere male instructor to think of the Einstein theory, for example, with a tastefully decorated knee — well, staring him in the face, as it were,” The San Francisco Examiner wrote.
The fad eventually fell out of vogue, but it resurfaced again in the 1960s — during an era where skirts rose in hemline, women pushed for independence, and embraced their sexual freedom once more.
Painted knees were the perfect compliment to mini-skirts and Bermuda shorts, and a student interviewed for The News in 1966 said that she painted her knees so often that she could “put it on faster than face makeup.” (source)
If you are at the Labyrinth Masquerade Ball next year, listen for the the clickety-clack of talons on marble. You might catch a glimpse of Maggie prowling the halls!
Baba Yaga is a witch from Slavic folklore who lives in a magical hut in the forest and either helps, imprisons, or eats those she encounters. She is among the most famous figures from Slavic folktales and has found a following in the present day among those who see her as embodying female empowerment and independence.
