me hearing all the different sides of the story because everyone involved has told me directly what their take on the situation is but not saying anything and just watching it unfold like a intensely dramatically ironic shakespearean play with an audience of one (1) which is ME

if someone stabs you, you get to keep the knife

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

and that’s how you start a collection!

[fartedandcantgetup]

If someone stabs you and you don’t bleed out in 15 minutes you are legally allowed to leave

[mccallandjackal]

If someone throws a knife at you and you catch it, they’re out.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

technically you don’t even have to catch it with your hands

pick your battles. pick… pick fewer battles than that. put some battles back. that’s too many

i am so tired of peeing. i drink the water, which i apparently need to live or something, then i have to go put the water somewhere else five minutes later. i drink the water, i go to a place to un-drink the water, i wash my hands, i leave, then i have to drink more water. guess where that water ends up? not in me! i give the water to my body and like a child it tosses it out and demands more. all hours of the day all hours of the night no matter what i am doing my life is interrupted by piss and this is bullshit

This sounds like it was written by a powerful being that is trapped in a human vessel and keeps having their plans thwarted by bathroom breaks.

this is a really good post but why is my child talking like dio

[pumpkindrublic]

I remember telling kao modern Tjeerd would use a bike for transport and she has interpreted this as motorcycle, but what I actually meant…

was a normal bicycle.

I’m sorry my smelly bird son is lame

[pumpkindrublic]

I mean i think if he ever got his life together he is foolish enough to go for a motorcycle so its not inaccurate but I always laugh a little

You wake in the night with your arm hanging over the side of your bed. It is still dark, and your bedroom is shrouded in deep shadow. Something unseen seizes your hand.

You grasp it tightly, knowing that first impressions are important and a firm, confident handshake will establish dominance.

Personally, I think a certain amount of dedication and responsibility is a requirement for both mods and members of RP groups. On one hand, if the members are willing to RP and are active (and are a lot), the mods should be able to give their members opportunities to RP and not just have a general world and leave their members floating in it. This could be done through events but also through elaboration on the setting. Story/plot progression and/or a bigger fleshed out world means more opportunities for members to find/think up a prompt and start RPing. But if mods simply think that as soon as the general framework is done, their work is done, and then do nothing, that does not bode too well for the members who are looking for something interesting to pull at their imagination and to inspire them/make them excited to RP. The founders have taken upon themselves the burden of supplying (fun) content for members and themselves to enjoy by establishing the group. Without content or progress, the RP as a whole stagnates and the members will be more inclined to drift away to greener pastures and the RP group will become inactive and fail. Disappointment everywhere. On the other hand however, it is the burden of members to remain active. If a world/prompt has been laid out in front of them, it is ultimately their choice whether to jump in or not. A group cannot survive only with the mods supplying content, it only works when members actually take advantage of the content and act upon it. Mods only supply the prompts, activity is never guaranteed. Thus, it is also jarring when members do not do anything when there are events or activities or requirements because these are opportunities for activity but weren't taken. Events, activities and requirements are meant to encourage activity (for both members and mods), the lifeblood of any RP group. But there are no real penalties for inactivity. The most mods can do is talk to inactive members and eventually take members off their roster. The only real consequence is that the potential fun is lost with the inactivity. Members have a real stake in an RP group. They have a share in the responsibility of making the group successful by being active. Just as activity encourages more activity, inactivity just breeds more inactivity. And if more and more members become inactive, it begets the same result as above: Disappointment everywhere. TL;DR: A good group = mods and members working together to make it successful. This they do by being dedicated enough to stay active. Both are responsible for making a group great. 8Db

No Roleplay Is Worth Abuse

I mean it. No roleplay is worth suffering abuse, tolerating abuse.

“But I love my characters too much” Are fictional characters worth sacrificing self-care? No, absolutely not.

“But I love the roleplay too much” Is a story worth sacrificing your mental health? No, absolutely not. 

“But I can’t find anyone better” Yes, you can find better, more caring and positive people. Yes. You. Can.

“But they’re my friend” Friends don’t abuse. Period. 

“But I can’t move on without them/their characters” Says who? You don’t NEED someone else to move forward. That’s up to you and how you choose to go about it. Just because your characters are heavily intertwined with someone else’s character doesn’t mean you can’t leave and your characters aren’t able to move on.

I’ve heard all the excuses before and I just absolutely will never tell someone to stay in a roleplay if they’re being abused. I won’t stand for it. 

This is a hobby, first and foremost. A community where you’re supposed to enjoy yourself and have fun, not be abused, manipulated, and neglected. You will run into people who do this in the community unfortunately, but there is NOTHING in this hobby worth staying in an abusive relationship for. At all. Ever. 

You deserve much better than that. You deserve to be treated with respect and kindness. Those people who are abusive don’t deserve you.

Fathers day post

Gonna start posting misc stuff I don’t want to boot to the forums here because its an oc blog so why not.

Lotta stuff below the cut

Current characters and relationships with their dads

Adelaide- Sydney was a fun dad but also a never around dad. The man loved him a damn good military campaign be it playing footsie with the Fiamor border or waging full war against East and South Daltero. He was loud and brash but an admirable and well loved leader. Adelaide took to the front during the Daltero-Aksera war to gain experience but also get to know her father better which sort of worked, but then he was assassinated on the battlefield as is commonplace with royalty.

Sydney treated his daughter as well as he was able, he was quite fond of her and always encouraged any pursuit that would further her standing and ability. He was not protective and let her take to the field against the queen’s wishes because he believed the best way to gain understanding of the country and battle was to see for one’s self.

He’s sort of a man of myth, he lives on mostly in his ludicrous accomplishments and his ability to lift large boulders and throw them at people. He was a well loved ruler and general. Certainly Adelaide has some bitterness that comes from her family being busy and distant with each other but she still remembers her dad fondly.

Tjeerd- I don’t really consider much of Tjeerd’s family background because he’s well into adulthood before his story goes anywhere. Were he not separated from his homeland forcibly he’d have a pretty healthy and normal relationship with both his parents. His day was probably a coastal guard before him though not at all distinguished. They would have got along fine.

Tjeerds family stuff is the least developed which is shameful since they are actually still alive.

Masen- Masen has daddy issues because Mashita is married to his job and Masen was an unplanned child. He and his mom are nt married and the person who really raised Masen would be Nahliv. But Masen still chases his dad’s attention which is unfortunate because Mashita does not give undeserved attention and Masen has trouble connecting with him personally and vice versa. Mashita DOES care about Masen but he’s not the nurturing type and he’s not good about showing he cares outside of providing and giving Masen access to good opportunities provided he earns them. their relationship in general is strained.

Floris- Floris had a good with his dad Joeri who often took him fishing and made sure to teach him the trade and how to defend himself. But Joeri also gave him up over his younger sibling to the Northern armada because they could not afford the steep Northern tax. So whether or not Floris’s parents survived the war he’s not looking to reconnect. He no longer holds resentment for the decision because of the circumstances, but its still not completely forgivable.

As far as father figures go the only one worth anything Was Masozi in his teens who took a vested interest in making sure his crew had skills that could help them get by after the war and the North’s leadership at the time dissolved. Any good morals that stuck with Floris are parroted from Masozi though to say Masozi was a good man is inaccurate. He was a notorious pirate captain under  an extremely cruel leader. His orders ended many lives.

I was going to talk about how characters are with their kids but i think I’ve said it before and I ran out of steam so maybe in a reblog
