Quick Info.

    independent & selective poseida from greek mythology.     canon divergent & heavily headcanon-based.     low activity.    mutuals only.    loved by sunny. 「 🌞  ╱  florida girl  ╱  EST. 」

Character.

    in greek mythology, poseida¹ (call her po) is the goddess of the sea and the youngest daughter of kronos (reigning champion of the world’s nastiest stomach award and former ruler of the cosmos) and rhea (mother of the gods and crazy cat lady). she’s the reason why horses exist and, consequently, why horse girls are a thing. she’s also the reason why h.p. lovecraft had reoccurring nightmares until the end of his miserable, fearful existence…but let’s not talk about that. 🖤

¹poseida was born as poseidon but she transitioned into a woman a couple of years after the titanomachy (or titan war) began; her transition was achieved via voluntary shapeshifting rather than through modern methods such as surgery or hormone therapy.

EDIT: I’ve started working on a refresh of po during early august—so, at least, some information in her carrd may not be accurate.

Writer.

     why, hello there!

     for those that may not know me, my name is sunny and this is my own little corner of this hell site. I’m a 26 year old university student who’s currently taking online classes for a psychology masters program so, expect my activity on here to be sparse. my pronouns are she/her and they/them and I identify as a demigirl. I’m also latina (cuban-american) and my hobbies include: reading, writing, and baking. (trying to also get back into painting!)

    anyway, now that I got introductions out of the way, here are some links to help guide you through my blog (especially if you are on mobile). if there’s any other information that you would like to know, please feel free to let me know!

note: information directory may be subject to change.

real talk—does anyone else have distaste for the term duplicate? reminds me too much of dupe. and you know what a dupe is? a pale imitation of the original. I much prefer the word variant as a descriptor for other people's takes on the same character because it puts everyone on a more even playing field. you're not a copy, variant says, you're just a different version. and that's okay. more than okay even! that's great. in summary, I think that this sort of reframing would be beneficial for the rpc regardless of how keen you are on interacting with other takes. ( and, no, this is not me saying that you have to befriend your variants or even interact with them—your comfort level is your own and people should respect that. )

what is force-shipping? (a PSA!)

what force-shipping IS:

guilting a partner into agreeing to a ship after initially declining the offer.

sending romantic or otherwise inappropriate (inappropriate because THEY SAID NO TO THE SHIP) memes despite them saying no.

writing a romantic or shippy starter/reply to a thread after they said no to the ship.

(listen this list will not end, let me finish this up with a very firm final remark:)

NOT RESPECTING YOUR PARTNER SAYING NO TO YOUR SHIP REQUEST.

what force-shipping is NOT:

asking your writing partners if they'd like to plot a romantic ship with you.

listen. forcing a ship is a conscious effort. if you're not able to respect your writing partners' decisions and choices when it comes to literal role play, then you need to step back and re-evaluate until you're able to do so.

BUT. you are NEVER forcing a ship simply by asking someone if they'd be interesting in shipping with you. it might be scary to ask. but once you respect their rules and boundaries, you're fine! there's never any harm in asking! just make sure you respect and honour their response, regardless of whether they say "yes", "no", or "maybe once we test their chemistry".

guys, if you're the yapper supreme like me, then I highly recommend making a lore folder to keep track of all your thoughts and ideas for your muse(s). trust me—it will change your life.

psa because it's something i needed to hear myself as a writer:

you don't have to "prove" your character to anyone. the rpc isn't a courtroom and your readers aren't a jury. it's so easy to slip into the pitfall of defensive writing, trying to acquit your characters of tired tropes or safeguard them from being misinterpreted. "i swear she's still a strong female character though!" "it's okay, i promise she's demure and composed!"

you don't have to make your characters palatable.

you don't have to overcorrect or make them "appropriate", sanitized or declawed.

they're allowed to be nuanced, they're allowed to be messy, they're allowed to be multifaceted and wrong sometimes. they're allowed to not have everything fully formed.

you don't have to overwrite your character bios and leave nothing to the imagination, frying your brain at 3 am with "is this the way i want others to see my character?" "is this how my character would act in a room full of people?" "how do i want my peers to classify my character? STOP. breathe. it. doesn't. matter.

what matters is that you know your character, you're writing something beautiful because it's the story you want to tell and enjoy, and you have every right to do that without being so performative that you're being too hard on yourself.

you don't owe imaginary readers a perfectly polished version of what you think they're judging you for.

trust yourself as a writer to portray your character with justice.

trust the readers to see and pick up on the beautiful thing you're creating.

it's okay to keep things simple and let your character shine in actual rp. the ones who get it will get it, and sometimes that's enough.

real talk—does anyone else create a blog that was intended to be multi-muse but said blog ended up being more of a single muse in disguise? 🫢 ( if that makes any sense, LMAO )

[the-bitch-mob]

fuck it. be creative even if you never really *make* anything. write out plot synopses of stories and then move on. design OCs you'll never use. make mood boards and concept art and don't do anything with them. life's too short to forget everything that inspired you and creation doesn't have to be "complete" to be worth the time you put into it.

real talk: how does one quiet thoughts of existential dread? does anyone know?

Life Update

[ rolls in ] hey, everyone 👋 it's been a while since I did one of these things and, tbh, I'm often unsure what to say other than the typical "life is just Business as Usual rn" ( I don't live the most exciting of lives, idk ). standard update aside, though, I hope that everyone is having as good a year as they can so far. times are tough ( to say the least ), and it's more important than ever to be kind with ourselves and each other. alright, now that I said my piece, I'm just gonna roll on out before my fear of being perceived grows too great [ rolls out ]

[sycamorality]

hi guys! discord is doing a survey on how people would like ai to be integrated into discord. take it and say fuck no to every question. when you get to "in general, how do you feel about discord inegrating ai features?", respond that you would actively get everyone you know off of discord and wouldn't pay for nitro or other shop items if they added ai features.

Writing Intimacy

i often see writers sharing a sentiment of struggling with writing kiss scenes which honestly bleeds into other portrayals of physical intimacy. i see it a lot in modernized styles of writing popularized by the recent trend in publishing to encourage short, choppy sentences and few adverbs, even less descriptive language. this makes intimacy come across awkward, like someone writing a script or clumsy recounting of events rather than a beautiful paragraph of human connection.

or just plane horniness. but hey, horny doesn't have to be mutually exclusive with poetic or sensual.

shallow example: they kissed desperately, tongues swirling and she moaned. it made her feel warm inside.

in depth example: she reached for the other woman slowly and with a small measure of uncertainty. the moment her fingers brushed the sharp, soft jaw of her companion, eliza's hesitance slid away. the first kiss was gentle when she finally closed the distance between them. she pressed her lips lightly to gabriella's in silent exploration. a tender question. gabriella answered by meeting her kiss with a firmer one of her own. eliza felt the woman's fingers curling into her umber hair, fingernails scraping along her scalp. everything inside eliza relaxed and the nervousness uncoiled from her gut. a warm buzz of energy sunk through her flesh down to the very core of her soul. this was right. this was always where she needed to be.

the first complaint i see regards discomfort in writing a kiss, feeling like one is intruding on the characters. the only way to get around this is to practice. anything that makes you uncomfortable in writing is something you should explore. writing is at its best when we are pushing the envelope of our own comfort zones. if it feels cringy, if it feels too intimate, too weird, too intrusive, good. do it anyway! try different styles, practice it, think about which parts of it make you balk the most and then explore that, dissect it and dive into getting comfortable with the portrayal of human connection.

of course the biggest part comes to not knowing what to say other than "they kissed" or, of course, the tried and true "their lips crashed and their tongues battled for dominance" 😐. so this is my best advice: think beyond the mouth. okay, we know their mouths are mashing. but what are their hands doing? are they touching one another's hair? are they scratching or gripping desperately at one another? are they gliding their hands along each other's body or are they wrapping their arms tightly to hold each other close? do they sigh? do they groan? do they relax? do they tense? are they comfortable with each other or giddy and uncertain? is it a relief, or is it bringing more questions? is it building tension or finally breaking it?

get descriptive with the emotions. how is it making the main character/pov holder feel? how are they carrying those emotions in their body? how do they feel the desire in their body? desire is not just felt below the belt. it's in the gut, it's in the chest, it's in the flushing of cheeks, the chills beneath the skin, the goosebumps over the surface of the flesh. everyone has different pleasure zones. a kiss might not always lead desire for overtly sexual touches. a kiss might lead to the desire for an embrace. a kiss might lead to the impulse to bite or lick at other areas. a kiss could awaken desire to be caressed or caress the neck, the shoulder, the back, the arms etc. describe that desire, show those impulses of pleasure and affection.

of course there is the tactile. what does the love interest taste like? what do they smell like? how do they kiss? rough and greedy? slow and sensual? explorative and hesitant? expertly or clumsily? how does it feel to be kissed by them? how does it feel to kiss them?

i.e. examine who these individuals are, what their motives and feelings are within that moment, who they are together, what it looks like when these two individuals come together. a kiss is not about the mouth. it's about opening the door to vulnerability and desire in one's entire body and soul.

shoutout to writers of multimuse blogs! i know that sometimes it can feel like you get ignored or are a secondary choice for people in favor of single muse blogs of the same characters you write, but please know that your portrayals are just as good, no matter how many other characters you have! it takes a lot of technical skill to write a variety of characters, and not having a single muse blog doesn't make your portrayal any lesser. ♡

affirmations for writers: i know how to write. i have seen sentences before, and i know how to make one. i can identify up to several words and their meanings. i am not afraid of semicolons.

[illusionremember]

I don't know who needs to hear this but if you're working on line editing or copy editing a piece of your writing, and you're on your 10,000th pass and the sentences are all glossed over and you feel like you're missing all the things that need fixed? That's your brain hitting fast forward because you know what comes next and it's trying to skim.

Here's what you can do about it:

Stop reading from the beginning. Go to the end of your piece. Read the last sentence. Then the sentence before that. Work your way backwards, one sentence at a time.

Doing this helps trick your brain into looking at the sentence, by itself, for itself. You'll catch so many more errors and weird phrasing that's not working.
