alright alright. iâve deleted pretty much all of my rp blogs on this wack site save for the descendants ones because im a weak ass binch. i was gonna strip strip them all, but i really really love what iâve done with the characters iâve written. i canât even say that at the premiere of the third film i wonât be back screaming because audrey is my daughter and sheâs making a comeback. i definitely will. because Trash. also i would like to say that iâve enjoyed writing with literally everybody iâve written with. this isnât a vague about any of you ---Â iâve been unbelievably lucky.
however, the rpc is just??? so much??? and collectively, everybody complains about it being so much, but nobody wants to actually do anything about it. so many toxic practices have arisen in this community, and so people get pushed out for no reason other than itâs stressful to be around. of course part of me will always love it.
but a larger part of me is terrified of it. and for a person with anxious tendencies, it is way too much emotional work to have to analyze every choice i make and every word i write out of fear that the wrong person will see it, read into it, and come at me for a mistake that, honestly? probably isnât worth getting worked up over. iâm not saying that people on this site donât do shitty things that they need to take responsibility for. drag the rapists and the racists and the bigots and people doing serious harm. and iâm not saying people on this site donât make missteps that they should learn from. educate them. but i have seen people attacked for things that arenât their fault, incidences where they havenât even been in the wrong. but the ârightâ person made the judgment that someone did something so hideous they deserve to be put on trial without a jury.
iâve seen people dragged through the dirt for having the most innocent opinions that disagreed with the interpretations of a character, and that the ones on the other end - offended by the fact that someone disagreed with them - did not see how chasing down a person who backed off was a disgusting show of vanity and self-righteousness... i was appalled. i still am.
so honestly call me weak, or say that i take things too personally. both are probably true. but until people learn not only tell the difference between maliciousness and honest mistakes, but also how to discern teachable moments from call-in-the-mob moments, i canât deal with feeling guilty all the time for internet crimes i havenât even committed.

look at that smile ugh im officially putting this blog on an indefinite hiatus ! i have other creative interests that end up taking up my attention any time i get on tumblr, so i want to be able to explore those without feeling beholden to an inactive blogs. there are questions in my inbox that i still want to answer though, so iâll be getting to those when i can!

How do you image Ben and Audrey's relationship pre-Descendants (i.e. Mal)?
i was so taken aback by this spontaneous anonymous question that i felt compelled to answer it. this gets kind of long. i am so sorry.
how do i compile my thoughtsâŚ
note: this is probably obvious, but the internet scares me so iâm going to say it anyway: this is going to require me to make some generalizations and assumptions concerning benâs character. i do not write him, never have never will, but i have written with a nice handful of lovely iterations enough to glean a bit about him. i also have watched each film at least four times so like... if i donât know, thereâs no hope for me.
to start: despite drawing some inspiration from audreyâs portrayal in the first novel and definitely the first film, i generally like to ignore the school of thought that says their relationship was 1. shallow with no basis in anything, and/or 2. built on some desire of audreyâs to gain a social leg up. and by like i mean love. i love to ignore it. anyone who says either of those two things may kindy bite me (âĄâżâĄâż).
ben and audrey, to me and in most (not all) ways i have written them, have a relationship built upon a very strong friendship, or at least a strong sense of some shared identity. no matter how you look at it, they have much in common: theyâre both high society citizens, and have been raised in the same social circles; theyâre both royalty (heirs apparent to boot), and so they understand the constant pressure that comes with learning the ways of their world; and theyâre both masters of disguise in that neither of them has the luxury of being anything other than picture perfect for the outside world.Â
so when you meet somebody who not only is beautiful, charming, and poised but also gets it â thatâs not a relationship you want to pass up.
one of my most favorite â and most extra â ways to describe audrey and her world is that she is constantly in attendance at a grand masquerade ball. her mask is venetian, and impeccable, and damn near bullet proof, and it is rarely permitted to come off. enter ben, who is in the same situation â even more so â and things make sense.
( pause for a question that i had to ask myself: why not chad? sheâs closer to him, and they know so much about each other. i can only speak to the relationship iâve written up with @repoussewrit, but chad is chad. heâs precious to her, and for a long time (forever in some verses, rip) she is only ever able to view him as her very best friend. any other alternative is just too weird. his mask is also not of the same kind; chad deals in attractiveness and impenetrable teflon-esque veneers. he has never been one for perfection. and no, i couldnât get through an ask without mentioning my asshole son. kindly bite me twice.)
when they start dating, i imagine itâs ridiculously sweet. of course neither of them are particularly shy, so thereâs no real beating around the bush, but young love is young love. and thatâs exactly what i imagine it to be: love. not at first mind, but it gets there. having grown up in a culture built on the back of True Love, itâs not that hard. that doesnât make whatever is between them any less genuine.
when itâs just them two alone, the masks come off and they get to breathe. they can have fun with each other and rant with each other and wind down with each other. they can share hopes and dreams and concerns. they can help each other, empathize with each other, calm each other. they can talk politics, should they wish, and maybe sometimes they do â but they can be kids with each other. a boy and a girl being groomed to be the leaders of two of the most prominent kingdoms in their world being just that. a boy and a girl who get to be a boy and a girl in love.
tfldr before mal came, i truly believed they loved each other. âtheyâre only fifteen, fourteen, wah wah wah too youngâ go away. if ben is old enough to become atlas incarnate and audrey is old enough to learn how to run multiples clubs and maintain her grades and have several different activities under her belt they are old enough to love each other. i like to think they did right up until everything went to the dogs. i think large amounts of stress can make any relationship a little rocky, and what could be more stressful than preparing to be crowned High Key of Fucking Everyfuckingwhere? but i (and most benâs i find) tend to also frown deeply upon his seemingly wandering eye. but thatâs not for me to talk about.

                        ROTTEN TO THE CORE .
list of common rp things you never need to worry about when youâre rping with me:
if i like our plot - i have never feigned interest in a plot. iâd tell you if i wasnât feeling the plot you pitched. also, i honestly do not go and make posts for plots iâm not interested in. i like being super invested in my ships and i feel like the best way to do that is to be honest about it from the get go.Â
not replying fast enough - life is tough, friends. i totally get it. sometimes we donât have the muse for a thread, sometimes weâre in a bad place mentally and we really just canât with life, or weâre busy with school or work. shh, you donât owe me anything. post when able, fam. i donât drop threads without a warning!
if you think youâre bothering me with headcanons, asks and etc - STOP RIGHT THERE. you are NOT bothering me with those at all. i live for those so KEEP THEM COMING.
if you want more plots/ships - TELL ME. chances are i want them too!Â
your post length - your post length really doesnât bother me - i can get pretty wordy sometimes and honestly i donât expect people to match me. doesnât matter if i get a one paragraph reply to a three paragraph one, as long as thereâs something to reply to, you know? substance over length any day.
if you want to drop a plot - my feelings donât get hurt over things like this. tell me if you wanna drop a plot and letâs make a new one if youâre interested, if not then thatâs fine too!Â
if you have a headcanon/plot you think is too dark - tell me ANYWAY? honestly i donât have a lot of hard limits and iâve been on the internet so long that at this point it takes a LOT to scare me. creative freedom is also pretty great, so.Â
that being said,
iâm really crap at replying to ims on tumblr! - i have the worst attention span on the planet, and sometimes tumblr hates me so sometimes i donât get the tumblr chat im pop ups - itâs the weirdest thing ever but i could get messages and i wouldnât know until i check tumblr on my phone? (but then sometimes three or four days have gone by and oops.) iâm always on telegram tho, so if you have it, and youâd like mine, feel free to drop me an ask and iâll get to you on there instead!
sometimes i can be in a pretty bad place muse wise too - and itâs definitely not you. iâll most likely still be sending headcanons and doing ask memes in a rather sad bid to get myself out of that funk but yeah. sometimes itâll take a few days for me to reply to a thread. iâll tell you if i want to drop it, though.Â
i like making friends - so if you wanna talk about things that arenât about our ships, thatâd be pretty awesome too!Â
i get super invested in my ships - and i will probably bother you with asks and headcanons A LOT and i understand this can get annoying especially on days where weâre not really feeling rp, so just tell me if you wanna talk about other things, yes? c:Â
god iâm super chill and i hate fighting - rp is supposed to be fun, and though iâve never actually really fought with anyone in rp land, i know many of my friends have, and i just canât with that so. yeah.Â
i think thatâs it, really? i see so many posts by new rpers going around like, âugh the rpc intimidates meâ and iâm justâŚcome over here let me love you. so if you have a plot you want to do, donât be shy and just hit me up, yes? i donât bite!
the SUN sits still against blue skies .   the branches SWAY left and right .   the OCEAN just barely moves.    the air feels  CALMING  when you breathe in.   you  CLOSE  your eyes.  the world is             Q U I E T .           Â

Iâm so here for âvainâ girls. Girls who dab at their waterline because crying could mess up their make up. Girls who spend a lot of time looking in the mirror. Girls who worry about breaking their nails. Girls who worry if they donât have exfoliating wash or lotion for a day. Girls who contour and girls who do face masks and girls who worry about missing a spot shaving and girls who get their eyebrows done. Youâre capable of caring a lot about your appearance and other things, and caring a lot about your appearance does not make you bad, or shallow, or less deserving of respect.
