Rules Below Cut

Basics

Mutuals only

Non-Exclusive

Don't be a dick

I do not care if you are Anti-JKR or not, continuing to engage in the Wizarding World gives her support through social capital by keeping her IP relevant. I do not interact with blogs actively writing within the Wizarding World. I will hardblock for this content, no exceptions.

AI use for art or replies gets an immediate block.

Mun does not equal muse.

Mun is a 40 year old elder millenial queer (he/him) with 0 tolerance for bigots, manipulators, and content police. Diagnosed ADHD, BPD, and Autism and I have no qualms about talk about any of it.

I have a very busy life outside of tumblr and run three multimuse blogs so I am not always here, and I may take a while with replies or have sporadic activity. I don't ignore mutuals, I just have a lot going on and not always enough spoons to write.

Mutuals can ask for my discord at any time if you want to chat or plot.

Personal/fandom blogs are welcome, I just ask you don't reblog my RP threads. Liking or commenting on them is okay. If you take anything from my headcanons, please just give me credit.

Activity can be selective, please be patient and realize I write with the flow of the muse.

Call out and purity culture are not welcome here

Content

Triggering content will be written, I will try to tag it the best I can, and I will not be tagging every little thing, only the stuff that is very heavy and serious. Please let me know/remind me if you need something tagged. For example, I'm not tagging a bloody nose or a small cut with tw: blood/tw: injury, but I will tag a gaping open wound that is pouring blood.

Triggering content will include things such as sex, drugs, violence, gore, repressed trauma, disease, religious trauma, religious turmoil, mental illness, and death. This will be tagged with "tw" and the word, as with most other triggers. If something needs to be tagged for a specific trigger, let me know. I don't always remember who needs what tagged.

I personally don't have anything that needs to be tagged.

I do not RP any of the subject matter above with underage muses

Smut will not be under a read more unless the other writer prefers read mores, it will all be tagged nsfw or nsfw ish

SMUT IS NOT EXPECTED FOR INTERACTION. While I love writing the subject matter, I know not everyone does. I will never force it and do not expect it, especially if it's in your rules. Light spice/suggestive themes, time skips and fade-to-black are absolutely fine if that is your comfort.

Smut will NOT HAPPEN WITH UNDERAGE MUSES.

Ashur is 34 and a very pious man, he is also a very repressed and closeted gay demisexual. He's not going to be interested in someone who is very much younger than him, probably not younger than 24-25, though he doesn't have much of a limit on those older than him. There will be no relationships between muses where they knew each other when one was a minor and the other was an adult.

I do write abo/omegaverse things on occasion. I will tag such threads and content as "abo verse" for people to blacklist.

Interactions

Please do not assume that your muse knows Ashur's identity as the Imperial Divine, unless we have it otherwise plotted ooc. The only exceptions I will make for this are Dorian, Maevaris, and Neve.

Please let me know by liking this post for Minrathous being saved, or this post for Treviso being saved so I know where to set our threads and if I need to write Ashur as Blighted. I don't always remember what choices everyone has made and this will just help me keep track. You absolutely can like both.

Plotting is best done over Discord, Discord is open to any mutual. If I'm quiet and don't talk much, it's more of a me thing than anything; I am shy when you first get to know me and don't talk much all the time, plus I have ADHD so I get easily distracted and am very forgetful. Gentle nudges and a "hello!" are not gonna bug me in the slightest if we haven't talked in a while.

Best way to interact with me is sending in memes. I make my answers to prompts into separate text posts and tag the sender in them so we may continue them into threads. You don't have to continue them, but I encourage it.

When you send in memes as a multi, please specify which muse it is for, I am less likely to answer when I have no idea which muse of yours you'd like a prompt written for.

I love, love, love shipping, but I never expect a ship. However, many of my muses are very flirty and easily fall in love, and I won't change that about them. I am all for unrequited love and unreciprocated feelings in interactions, just realize it is never to try and force a ship.

That being said, if you want to ship, just let me know! I'm pretty open about any and all ships, crackships, cross-ships, toxic ships, familial, platonic life partners... all of the ships.

My length may vary but I typically find it hard to limit myself to less than 3-4 paragraphs. I never expect length 100% of the time, but I do appreciate effort in replies and find it easier to reply to at least a paragraph or two.

If you have issue with me or my affiliates and mains, please just block and move on. I do not support drama, I do not support legitimately harmful people, and I do not support witch hunts for written content.

"STOP PUTTING YOURSELF INTO DANGER!" PROMPTS *  assorted dialogue for expressing your fear that the person you care about might get themselves hurt if they keep acting like this, adjust as necessary

i thought i told you to stay back.

i love you too much to let you get hurt like this.

this affects me, too, you know.

every time you leave, i sit up all night waiting, praying you'll come back alive.

you keep pulling stunts like this and something bad will happen.

do you have a death wish or something?

this isn't fair to me.

i deserve better than this.

i didn't get any sleep last night because i was so worried about you.

you promised me you'd stop going out at night.

i don't like hearing this.

you've been risking your life, and for what? so you can feel like a goddamn hero?

i said i would handle it.

what the fuck are you doing here?

you told me you'd stay put.

so much for laying low.

you remember how bad it was last time.

seems like you haven't learned anything.

i believe you promised me you'd lay low.

i can't keep doing this.

don't give me that look.

we'll discuss this later.

this stops now.

i'm tired of picking up the pieces once you've left.

you keep throwing yourself into danger.

you don't give a shit about yourself, do you?

i'm sitting here, worried out of my mind, while you're out doing god knows what.

that was really stupid of you, and you know it.

i thought you knew better than this.

what's your excuse this time?

you do realize what this does to me, right? seeing you get hurt like this? you know it hurts me, too?

you really don't give a shit how this affects me, huh.

that was the dumbest possible thing you could have done.

i need you to stop throwing yourself into harm's way.

that was completely unnecessary.

they had it handled.

you didn't need to step in like that.

why do you think you're invincible?

the last time you pulled a stunt like this, it nearly got you killed.

i can't just sit here and watch you get hurt.

what are you trying to prove?

you just like fucking with my heart, don't you.

this shit hurts me, too, you know.

you're not the only one affected by this shit.

you've got a lot of people counting on you to come home every night.

what happens if you don't come back?

you think we can just carry on without you?

you think i can handle things if you end up dead?

i'm not sticking around to watch you get hurt.

you're not even slick.

you think you're invincible, don't you.

quit pretending you've got everything under control.

let someone else do it for a change.

you can't keep putting yourself through shit like this and expect me to just sit back and watch.

i'm done with this.

next time you do this, i'm not coming back.

promise me this is the end.

look me in the eyes and tell me you'll stop doing this.

let the authorities deal with it.

you're making a big mistake.

is it worth dying for?

i've dealt with enough pain over the years.

Send “They’re ’s a 10, but..” and fill in the rest to call out my muse!

[goodbadhabit]

do I like clear instructions and being told what to do because I'm kinky and submissive or just autistic?

[thedasguarded]

He could already tell, he was going to feel so spoiled by how vocal and responsive Ashur was. If he even wants to do this again, when — Not a helpful fucking thought, stupid bastard of a brain. Ashur had given him no reason to presume a bad reaction, only past flings who always expected and wanted something he wasn't. They weren't his Viper. His Divine. His Ashur. His. Mine. Like I'm yours.

More important at the moment was Ashur's nod, his breathy agreement, and the way he was already smiling at the thought. Though Tarquin bit his lower lip at first, he couldn't help a little smirk in return too. Bloody Maker, I hope I'm worrying for nothing.

Focusing on unfastening Ashur's trousers did at least ease the sharpest prickle of the cold and stubborn fear in his gut. Tarquin coaxed them down as best he could without kneeling. Already, what he glimpsed had him swallowing hard with a brief lick of his lips, even before he started on opening Ashur's tightened smallclothes as well.

Before guiding those down to give himself a full view, he felt his own trousers and smalls drop, and stepped out of them. Hints of slickness, on coarser dark hair and the flushed inch of his cock, caught the light with his movement. Tarquin couldn't help his pause. He trailed his gaze up Ashur's front to that handsome face, to see if the other's reaction was what he feared or what he hoped.

[serpentinemask]

Ashur's own nerves were making his stomach flip as well when he felt Tarquin's fingers working on his fastenings. His own nerves had more to do with the fact that he'd never been bare before another man before, not like this, not for the reasons he and Tarquin were stripping themselves bare.

He stepped out of his own trousers as Tarquin pushed them down to pool at his ankles, his thin silk briefs doing very little to hide his arousal straining against the cloth. He couldn't remember a time when he felt so vulnerable and exposed, yet as his own hands slipped into the waistband of Tarquin's trousers and smallclothes, his own nervousness was starting to melt away.

Ashur couldn't help it as his eyes gazed over every bit of Tarquin as he slid his hands down the Templar's thighs, dragging the clothes down until they'd dropped and Tarquin had stepped out of them. While he didn't know what to expect, when he saw Tarquin entirely bare before him, his hands moving to rest softly on the Templar's hips, nothing about his desire for the other man changed in the slightest.

His eyes drew up Tarquin's body, warm smile on his lips, his gaze met Tarquin's and it held all the desire and care and love he had for the Templar. At a loss of words for a moment, all Ashur could do was lean forward and press an approving, tender kiss against the Templar's lips. Hands squeezing softly onto his hips before he pulled back and rest his forehead against Tarquin's, Ashur swallow softly and licked his lips before he spoke. "You'll have to guide me, Quin, show me and tell me how to please you. I want to make sure I do things right, to make you feel good..."

u have a responsibility to understand ur own privilege btw, there really isn't a way around it. if ur white u gotta learn about structural racism, if ur a man then u gotta learn about patriarchy, if u live in the first world then u gotta learn about imperialism. u have to be a class traitor, no excuses

[mcflymemes]

please don't mistake silence for hatred. please don't mistake unanswered plotting messages as indifference, or a lack of enthusiasm towards you. considering the ages of most roleplayers, many of us have bills to pay, families to take care of, medical conditions to treat, appointments to make, classes to take, homes to clean, and lives to live away from the computer that are far, far more important than writing on tumblr — life has a tendency to get in the way of hobbies and fun things like this. be patient with your fellow writers. if it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out. of course you can set your boundaries, keep your space comfortable, and softblock whoever you wish, but do so while recognizing it's probably not hatred or apathy that keeps them from leaping into your dms with message after message. they probably love this hobby just as much as you... but sometimes life gets in the way.

[serpentinemask]

j u s t in case somebody's sent you anon hate, here's some anon love! you're amazing and a delight to see on the dash no matter the timescale!

awwww, thank you so much anon, that means a lot to me, truly

It wasn't me who was getting it, it was one of my very close friends and I'm just tired of seeing people I'm close to get harassed and bullied for something so ridiculous as having a life outside of tumblr

I just hope people can step back and take some time to have that empathy, compassion, and grace we all need in these difficult times.

[serpentinemask]

Hey.

Friendly PSA.

People do not owe you their time on this site. We are all human beings. Individuals with our own schedules, our own priorities, our own lives.

Does it suck waiting for a long time for someone to reply? Yeah, sometimes, but no one is your writing machine to gratify your need for instant dopamine fixes.

Sometimes a persons activity dips for all kinds of reasons, and all of them are valid, including just not feeling it today. It's never okay to bag on them for it, it's never okay to send shitty anons (are we fucking 12?), it's never okay to pressure and guilt someone into giving you what you want right now.

Please, treat your fellow writers with respect. If someone is taking a while to reply, maybe check in and make sure everything is okay? With everything going on in this world right now, it's getting harder and harder every day to try and find some joy, I get that, but be patient with each other and have some grace.

That's what we need right now, we need some grace and some compassion.

Please, just have some grace.

[miseria-fortes-viros]

yeah yeah fire-based characters are destructive and angry and violent and evil blah blah blah BORING overdone. more fire as a lifegiver. warm and comforting. fire-based characters as guides lighting the way. personal heater in the cold and dark but don’t sleep too close or you’ll wake up with heat rash. fire sterilizes and cauterizes!! more fire-based healers. plants perking up and flowers turning towards them and they attract moths. fire-based characters who are hearths instead of wildfires!! the core of a home the pillar of a community the key to societal advancement. give them an internal flame that visibly glows and flickers instead of a heart that beats. extinguish that light when they die. etc
