Rules Below Cut
DO NOT FOLLOW IF: you’re racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, or bigoted. Do not follow if you’re antisemitic, Islamaphobic, or an antiziganist. Your intolerance is outdated and not welcome here. I will not tolerate nazi-sympathizers or those who sympathize with racists. If you’re not a supporter of BLM, do not follow. Please be aware that the content on this blog deals with Kouta Hirano’s series Hellsing, which deals with intense subject matter such as: abuse, rape, violence against women, death, murder, gore, nazis, vampirism, strong religious and sacrilegious themes, and torture. Please take care of YOU, and if you think any of this subject matter might upset or cause you harm, do not follow this blog. You are in charge of your dash, you curate it to keep yourself safe and happy. Thank you!
I do not feel comfortable writing with the Millenium characters. I will not be arguing this as I have the right to not want to interact with certain muses, please respect this.
I will follow back anyone I feel comfortable following, as I intend to curate the best experience for my dashboard. If you post too much NSFW material, uncut threads, untagged triggers, excessive flashing gifs, glorified traumatic themes, or an excess of negative/vague posts, I won’t follow you, but you’re more than welcome to follow me, just know I only respond to mutuals. If this doesn’t seem like you, or you feel that I should revisit your blog, message me to discuss it. If you’re upset by not being followed back, I propose unfollowing me, because I do not soft block. It’s a tedious process, and I do not feel obligated to cull every follower I decide not to follow back. I appreciate your understanding and hope you guys have fun!
I am a selective blog, meaning I choose the people I follow. As such, this also means I get to choose who I interact with. I am a mutual-only blog, so any IC asks or posts made towards my muses, if not from a mutual, will be ignored. I am not forming a clique or excluding people, as I vet the blogs that follow me and follow those back who fit my dash, and I look for quality over anything. I don’t mind following new roleplayers, users who don’t use icons or don’t have fancy edits, but if there seems to be some sort of failure to communicate, or I don’t trust you with my muses I won’t follow and therefore won’t interact with you. I’m very picky about only roleplaying with people I trust, therefore if we’re interacting in any way, know that I have read your rules and other information and trust you with my muses, and even more so if we talk OOC.
I WILL NOT SHIP ABUSERS/VICTIMS, RAPE, INCEST, PEDOPHILIA, NON/DUBCON, ABUSE OF POWER (Unless plotted and tagged,) OR ANY VARIATION ON THIS THEME, THANK YOU. I ship on a case-by-case basis, and chemistry is what is most important to a good, healthy ship. I will not let myself be forced or guilted into a ship, and will not force or guilt you, in return. If our characters are in a ship, I want to explore all the dynamics of that ship. I am not solely here for romance, so if you are, please understand I might not be so receptive to only plotting romantically. If I think our characters would be better storge, platonic, or an enmity type dynamic, I will let you know. Above all I value patience, and interaction before the shipping, because I think it’s important for our characters to interact so we can know if they, and ourselves, are compatible partners.
Tell me if I owe you. I often don’t/can’t remember to use a thread tracker, but I try to keep up with all of the threads and interactions I have. I clean out my ask box first, then work on new starters, then get to existing threads, in that order, to keep myself organized. That being said I know how anxiety-inducing it can be to think someone has forgotten you, or worse, dropped you wordlessly, so please message me if you have questions. I don’t intend to ghost anyone, so if you ask there will be no hard feelings. I also will message you after about a week and a half if I haven’t seen any indicators on your blog that you are having trouble responding or have had issues with your time. I won’t be upset if you need time or have no muse for that particular thread or muse. It’s understandable! I will let my partners know if I lose muse/traction in a thread to give them fair warning.
While I don’t mind a quick plot, I enjoy plotting and think it’s important for a smooth interaction. I like knowing where both of our characters are coming from, why they’re coming from those viewpoints, how they might interact, and whether you and I are good fits as writers. If you prefer jumping in without any plans I might not interact with you. I’ve been burned before by people wanting the interaction to go one way, but not letting me know, and our eventual, inevitable clash over directions. I like to know I can trust you with my muses, and if I feel like you’re too unpredictable, I might not interact. I also really appreciate you, as the mun, approaching me before doing something and asking permission to hurt/injure/take/or do something to my muse that means a significant change to their state.
As a general rule I follow, I don’t write NSFW/sexually explicit material on the dash in threads. If sexual content arises I fade to black, and if we both really want to write it out, I suggest discord or some other messenger service. I DO NOT write NSFW with minors (under 18), and will only write it with partners I trust and who I can trust with my muses. I will not write graphic violence scenes with those under 16. I was exposed to graphic sex and violence at a young age, and now I’m just trying to ensure others aren’t traumatized like I was. Any NSFW mentions will be tagged as such following my tw tags. I will post NSFW ask memes and respond but under a read more, and will attempt to keep the material light.
My tag for triggers is “tw _” and I will attempt to tag all triggers in a post that I know my mutuals need tagged- this being such, I remind you that I am one person and might not catch everything, every time. If your triggers are not well-listed or easy to find, I might also miss something, so I implore you to let me know. I will not tag minor violence, strong language, or themes of vampirism/demonic themes or religious themes unless specifically requested, since they are so prevalent within the subject material and my blog. I ask you to tag: eye horror, unreality, incest, rape, non/dubcon, real-life death or crimes, and anything to do with transphobia or homophobia. I appreciate the consideration.
My name is Murdy. I’m a 27 yo living in the EST time zone, and I go by they/he pronouns. I’ve been writing for an estimated 15+ years, and have been in the fandom for 15 years. This was one of my first fandoms, so returning to it is a labor of love. I do intensive research on all my muses, and they are all approached from an angle of both love for the character and a willingness to deconstruct the fandom view of them. The subject material is arguably bad, and the characters often fail to see punishment for their actions, so think of me as judge, jury, and executioner. This blog also features 1 muse that is a hybrid of both the Bram Stoker novella, Dracula, and Hellsing lore, and as such, I also spend that much time in the Stoker universe, with just as much love for the muses.I don’t do codes/passwords and don’t expect you to have to either. I read all the rules and info of the people I follow, and I feel like you do too, and if you don’t I’ll remind you to check if you’ve stepped on something.
