Muse List

Hi Folks, just thought I’d post a list of some of my muses on my side blogs, since I figured it might otherwise be tricky to find them :) My usual verse for them is the MCU (Marvel), and their original verses for canon characters, but I’m open to discussing other verses as well!

Brin Family:

Sadie (Rockland’s Mom)- https://sadiebrin.tumblr.com/

Kolbjorn (Sadie’s Dad, Rockland’s Grandfather)- https://kolbjornbrin.tumblr.com/

Reese (Sadie’s sister Louise’s kid, Rockland’s cousin)-https://theblacksmithdragon.tumblr.com/

--

Miscellaneous MCU OCs:

Grayson Stark-  https://graytitaniumalloy.tumblr.com/

Cassidy and Milo Floor- https://doubleofloor.tumblr.com/

--

Morus Family (low activity/kind of on hiatus I suppose, I haven’t written them in a quite a while):

Chase Morus- https://chasemorus.tumblr.com/

Skylar (Chase’s little sister)- https://skylarmorus.tumblr.com/

--

Canon Characters:

Mebh Óg MacTíre (Canon character from the movie “Wolfwalkers” highly recommend checking it out if you haven’t, it’s fantastic)-  https://mebhstowntasties.tumblr.com/

@rocklandjbrin commented for a starter 💪or 'arm’ // sender forces receiver’s arm behind their back (reverse)

This was the kid. It had to be.

Basta had studied his mother's features enough to recognize the similarities in the nose, the slight furrow of his brows. At long last, a trail that hadn't come up cold.

He only had to time it well, and he could have his leverage without too much of a fight.

Patience was one of the rare virtues that Basta possessed. He waited until Rockland headed for the door of the cafe and slipped silently out behind him, then quickly swept up from behind a few paces outside and snatched one of his arms, wrenching it hard behind his back as he applied pressure on the opposite shoulder, holding him in place.

"Don't cause a scene," he hissed in the boy's ear. "This doesn't have to get messy."

[rocklandjbrin]

The flutter of a five dollar bill in a drain grate had eventually lead him into the cafe. Normally Rockland would save the money for more substantial food stuffs or other necessities, but he'd had a rough day at school and a poster in the window was advertising dollar cookies. What was a kid to do?

Having hunkered in for some homework and warmth, the autumn sun was starting to set by the time he left, the cafe sign flipped to close behind him. The eyes behind the glass had unfortunately turned away, by the time the man approached.

The rough press of fingers and his shoulder screamed with pain. Rockland stumbled slightly, instinctually leaning into the grasp in a desperate urge to reduce the discomfort. He had a white knuckle grip on the handle of his cane in his opposite hand.

"Agh! What the fu-" The teen swore, eyes wide in alarm and fear, head whipping towards the assailant. He bucked around best he could without being too hard on his knee, trying to loosen the guy's grip.

Don't cause a scene? Who was this guy? A mugger? "Fuc-" He swore again, "-off. FIRE! Help!" His voice grew hoarse with the booming call. Turquoise energy crackled faintly in nearby walls, subtle and easy to miss if someone wasn't looking for it. Of course it had to be a quieter part of the neighbourhood, especially at this time of the day. Many families were likely tucked in at home, having dinner. His old man was no where in sight. "Let me go, Asshole!"

@rocklandjbrin hit the ♡ for a Closed Starter

{✿} – The hollow clatter of a stranger’s mobility cane hitting the ground nearby caused Malakai to turn around softly on the soles of his bare feet. Having seen the stranger - thankfully still standing at the convenience of a nearby metal railing in the shopping mall - struggling to retrieve it, he smiled politely and padded toward them. 

❝Excuse me, friend,❞ When he spoke, Malakai’s voice carried warmth and reassurance, like a gentle ray of golden light flickering through the gaps between autumnal leaves swaying calmly in the wind, ❝would you like some help with that?❞

[rocklandjbrin]

It was a bad leg day. A storm was a comin'. And of course he managed to be a klutz, on top of it. That was what happened when he stuffed his backpack too full and impulse borrowed a couple more books from the library. He'd thought he'd had room. He should've just returned them, but nope. He'd held them to his chest and then crammed them under his armpit when that got tiring. Didn't help that he was hungry, either. A shaky hunger, wringing at his stomach.

Rockland swore under his breath as he scrambled to catch his cane, having knocked it from a railing he'd been leaning against while he contemplated his next move. And then a voice drifted past the mall's background chatter. "I'm good, man. I've got it." He grumbled, waving off the offer, more or less balancing on his left leg to lean down and pull the end of it over before scooping it up. Blue eyes moved up towards the other then. The guy had an unusual look to him. Kind of... whimsy? A contrast to Rockland's gruff exterior. He watched the other with a wary silence. "Those are some glasses."

[Email] Aw man! Haha. Guess that makes sense, my old man's had the occasional zit, too. What, your skin's constantly crystal clear now? Well, that's a perk. Lol nah, tomato sauce is alright, could do with some of that.

Yeah? Anything fun? Dandy? Marvellous? Batman-esque? Wait a cat? Sweet! You got any photos? That's wild, man. I've heard of the cat distribution system, but didn't realize it works that efficiently. Bee's a cute name. For this afternoon at least, thanks. I'm clinging to the monkey bars haha.

mint :   does your muse view themself as virtuous   &   moral ?  what do these words mean to them ?

Rockland's view of himself and his own morality shifts over the years. He grows up feeling largely like an exhausting, expensive burden, thanks to his father, Caleb. At points, his home life becomes so unhealthy that Rockland runs away, spending nights out in the city, napping on the subway, in parks, or otherwise pulling all nighters and subsequently likely dozing off in class the next day, if he makes the effort to attend.

He's also been known to steal food and other essentials when supplies are getting low at the house, or during points where he's otherwise fending for himself. Rockland keeps his troubles at home largely to himself, out of fear of ending up in the foster system. At school and on the streets, built up feelings come out in the form of misbehaviour, and he often gets into verbal sparring with students and teachers alike, and occasionally gets into physical fights with his peers, as well. He looks back on the behaviour with guilt and shame, however, and it's a big part of the reason he'd likely shrug if someone asked him if he saw himself as a moral person, as a teen, and maybe mumble something about trying. He'd largely consider the idea of being moral and virtuous as helping rather than harming.

As an adult, after reuniting with his Mom and having a more solid base to stand on, with a bigger support system in place and his basic needs met, he can look back on his childhood and teenage years and recognize how much he'd had to deal with, that it wasn't normal, and while that doesn't excuse the harm he did, he's not entirely defined by those mistakes, either. And he did try to do some good, too. He'd see that he can make an effort to move forward and stand for what he feels is right.

claamor:

I want to make this known; it’s OKAY to flirt with my muse, it’s okay to say flirty things to them, yes, they may not react to it, they may not respond to it positively, but know as a mun I’m 100% OKAY with it. Especially if my muse is clearly attractive appearance wise, go a head, flirt with them, if my muse is your muse’s type, it’s okay to flirt, we don’t have to be shipping, we don’t ever have to ship to have you flirt with my muse; I WON’T think you’re pushing a ship on me either. But I just feel that some people are scared to have their muse be flirty to another because we a muns might take it the wrong way.

I’m not saying this goes for everyone, but I’m letting you know that it doesn’t make me uncomfortable and I’m fine with it.

PSA: It’s ok if your muse doesn’t like my muse.

It’s ok if your muse gets angry at my muse. It’s ok if your muse doesn’t want to stay friends with my muse (or doesn’t want to make friends in the first place, or doesn’t want to keep up whatever relationship they have). You don’t need to force your muse out-of-character to keep them on friendly terms with mine. Conflict happens, and it’s ok if our muses run into conflict.

Tell me a soft memory

[inkskinned]

we would find out later i had burned off my entire cornea - about 65% of my eye. my doctor told me it is the organ with the highest concentration of nerve endings - i was in an amount of pain that can't be spoken.

and i was blind. for the first time in my life, i was totally blind. i kept thinking about reading, about writing. weirdly, just once, about driving. we had no idea if i would ever see again. just like that - my entire life was different.

it is a strange place to reference for a soft memory, to begin here.

my siblings were taking excellent care of me, but there was a moment in the hospital where, just through bad luck and timing - both of them had to step away for a moment. i was crying at that point; not emotionally. for 3 days after this i would still be crying, my tears, like a mermaid's, a frothy pink with blood.

my brother worried about leaving me. he had another, just-as-bad emergency.

"i got her," someone said. "don't worry."

a soft hand held mine, and then she started talking.

her name was jess. she has a wife named clyde. they live a few blocks up the street. clyde fell down, but the x-rays seem to be coming back better than expected. jess says she's got long dark hair and "more wrinkles than an elephant". jess describes every chair in the room and every person. she talks about her two kids and her cats and her favorite memories from college.

a doctor came. i had to switch to a different waiting room. i tried to stand up to follow the voice - i found jess's hand, following me. she didn't let go. she kept talking the whole way: lamp to your left, just a few more steps, okay to your right is the ugliest painting, good, now a little more walking straight, you got it baby

in the new silence of the next room she sat me down and called my brother for me, telling him where we'd gone to. and she stayed there for a bit, just chatting, her voice echoing in the eerie quiet. gently describing the room to me. and then someone was rude. from the sound of the voice, a kid, i think.

"why is she crying?"

"she just lost her vision," jess said. "she can't see."

"oh." said the kid. "that's scary."

the kid tells me he is here because he has peas stuck up his nose. that makes me laugh, his mom (?) groans. she tells me about the kid (he's 6, he likes paw patrol and eating cheese), about herself, about moving from cali.

jess says she's sorry, but she has to leave now, she's gotta go check on her wife.

"don't worry," says the mom. "i got her." and then i felt her hand press into mine.

for hours like that: i am taken care of by strangers. each person just talking with whatever comes to their head - not for any reward or celebrity or real reason, i guess. just because i am scared and alone and in the hospital and blinded and need to be distracted. not everyone even got told the story - they would just pick up in the silence with - oh by the way the television is playing HGTV - do you like that kind of a thing? yeah, me too, but could never quite get into those open-floor plans, i'll tell you -

by the time my brother is able to come back, the room is buzzing. we talk to each other like old friends, laughing, cracking jokes about if you don't like hospital food wait until you get on an airplane and can't believe i'm up past two in the morning what a party animal i'm becoming. i am holding the hands of someone named drew, who likes my crow tattoo and making crochet snails.

there are many dark moments full of pain in this world. this - in the low of absolute-dark, absolute-pain: people find a way to paint in it anyway. the color splash of their voices: this triumphant, radiating kindness of - let's be here together, let me help you, let's keep going.

i never saw their faces. i can't remember many of their names. but i think about them often, and the way we all took a deep breath - and did something gentle amongst the pain.

[adruze]

Most of us could probably stand to benefit from reading this. I did. It’s really lovely.

I know I sound like your mom but you kids need to stop fucking vaping

[joshgrobanscock]

1) Vaping is confirmed to cause cancer. Vaping coats the lungs with toxic substances, such as heavy metals and benzene, which are known to cause cancer

2) Many vapes contain diacetyl, which, when inhaled causes popcorn lung, or scarring of the lung

3) Ultrafine particles, when being inhaled, can be lodged in the trachea (not good!)

4) Ultrafine particles can also constrict the arteries in the lungs potentially causing A HEART ATTACK

5) Vaping is relatively new. Not much studies have been done in comparison to tobacco. Plus, the vaping companies are powerful people. There is a large chance that they are purposely downplaying and even burying any evidence that vaping is harmful - just like the tobacco companies before them.
