What is the mun’s personal favorite ship dynamic? Can be romantic/platonic/etc.!

Can't remember what RP Meme post this was from but in any case...

I think I favour platonic ships? Close friendships are always fun to explore and in general I have less anxiety with them compared to romantic ships. Can blame that on bad past roleplay experiences.

Used a Fantasia to tweak Cat's face in FFXIV so now I gotta redo the profile pic I use for her blog. And maybe now I'll finally work on more reference images...

[pennedbybrie]

I think I'm ready to officially re-add that both my rp blogs are multiship and, well, open to shipping. Technically I wasn't against the idea the entire time I've been back but anxiety from past shipping experiences has me feeling wary. But I'm doing better about it so... yeah. Shipping!

Happy Birthday, Cataleya

When the time comes for Cataleya's birthday, they've known each other for most of a year. Things are less awkward between them. Comfortable, even. And Malcolm had been thinking hard on what to do to celebrate...

She's become an important friend to him. Few are as close to him as she is now. She deserves more than well wishes and a quick gift. But what?

In the end, he settled on taking her out somewhere after her family took her out for dinner. Coffee and desserts at a late-night cafe she'd been wanting to try. He remembered her mentioning it at some point before.

But, he has one other idea in mind.

"Luna Park?" She's smiling wide, excited. Her slice of key lime pie is forgotten for the moment. "It's been so long since I've been... I'd love to go! But are you sure you can take that day off? What about work?"

He nods. "It's fine. Already okayed it with my boss and all that."

Amusement parks aren't exactly Malcolm's thing, but even he has a few nice childhood memories there and he knows that she loves the place. After all, it was her mom who gave him with the idea one of the times he was visiting and Cataleya had been out of the room grabbing something.

"We'd be there right now but the hours for most weekday evenings suck, so Saturday seemed better," he explains, eyes lowered as he looks into his coffee. "Gives you time to figure out what you want to do there, too."

"True! I'll have to look into if any of the ride have changed..."

Regardless of how their future evening at Coney Island will go, Cataleya's excitement tells him this was a good idea. He'll have to thank Laelia later.

Happy Pride!

I'm queer and so are Cataleya and Malcolm. Heck yeah! 🏳️‍🌈

Be brave enough to write what you want; not what you think others want.

I've been giving this writing advice to a lot of my friends lately so I'll do a mumbling post about it here.

You gotta play dolls with your characters.

Slap them in AUs, make silly fanfiction, make "what if?" senarios. You gotta recreate the feeling of taking your toys out as a kid and improv-ing a story on the spot. You'll get a sense of what makes them who they are outside of their main storyline.

Take a piece of yourself, expand and explore upon it. Create characters and storylines that are love letters to those you've cared most about. Take that little ball of hate and/or despair and give yourself a little therapy lesson.

Be bored! Be frustrated! Be unsatisfied! "Someone should make a story about ___" YOU should make that story! If you aren't satisfied with the media you see, make for yourself the story you DO want to see! Don't worry about how others will view it. For right now, for right at the beginning, the only way you're gonna make progress is if you're having a bit of fun.

bitch (affectionate) if you're not gonna love, be proud of, share, idolize, torture, etc your original characters who the fuck is ??

be proud of what you create. be proud of the fictional people living in your head, of the fictional worlds you create. SHARE THAT SHIT. fangirl/boy/etc about it even if no one knows what you're talking about.

there is nothing to be embarrassed about, to be ashamed of. if you're not gonna love and care and talk about your ocs then how can you expect other people to grow to do the same ?? I don't care if you think its silly, its a waste of time, etc. ITS NOT. SHARE. and the more you share the easier it gets.

YOUR IDEAS ARE WORTH SHARING, AND THEY'RE WORTH ATTENTION. SOMEONE WILL CARE (me) ABOUT WHAT YOU'VE MADE AND WILL WANT TO LEARN MORE.

its not a contest. it doesn't have to be perfect, or "marketable". create for the heck of it and be proud of what you create ♡

Hey there! Just a friendly reminder/PSA from your friendly neighborhood Pixiemage!

“Dead Dove: Do Not Eat” is too often (incorrectly) used as a cover-all tag, on fics ranging from Vaguely Uncomfortable to Serious Shit, as a replacement for any intense tags relating to the story. People will use it to say “Holy shit guys some INTENSE SHIT happens in this story” without actually saying what that Intense Shit™ is.

In actuality, the “Dead Dove” tag is meant to be used in addition to other warning tags. Pulled from a scene from the show Arrested Development (look it up on YouTube!), it means “Hi! Hey! I labeled this fic to warn you of what’s in it, so you might REALLY want to read those labels! This fic is exactly what it says on the tin! The tags are accurate! Don’t say I didn’t warn you, because this is me warning you! Read the tags!”

So before you accidentally use the “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat” tag without context, here’s your preemptive lesson for next time. Please tag your fics accordingly! Ta!
