Hello prospective and current people we interact with aka peeps,
If you’re new here, welcome.
Here are some important points to know and read before interacting with this blog!
✘ This is a canon-divergent blog of Coyote Starrk which is also quite heavily personal headcanon based. Which is also a fancy way of saying my interpretation, yo. So there.
✘ Single shipped with the lovely @elxfi and his main verse is right after the winter war and is currently post-Quincy arc.
✘ Las noches days; is the Canon compliant version of this blog where starrk is living in las noches still with all the other arrancars.
✘ The Main Verse on this blog is where Starrk can currently be found deep within the Rukongai forest (district yet to be determined) where he resides with his little family. This also means he will be making appearances within the Seireitei.
✘ He’s the former Primera turned house husband who looks after his twins and farm while their mother is away at work.
✘ There is also a modern verse where he is mafia boss from Italy currently living in Tokyo to avenge his uncle’s murder. Details can be found on the modern verse tag.
✘ Activity fluctuates a heck of a lot, and is most times low. Consider this a low activity blog. Which means might as well be on hiatus most times but really isn’t. Because rping is just a hobby not a job.
✘ IN THIS HOUSE: And contrary to popular fanon; Starrk does not just nap. like all the time.
✘ And no, he is not a lazy bones person who just naps most of his life away and that perception of him is pretty much rejected on this blog. Kindly, do not give me that crap if you’re thinking of interacting with us.
✘ Starrk is powerful. He just chooses not use his powers. Remember that he was Primera Espada in case your muse decides to fight him.
✘ There will be days when I will only write headcanons, days when i will write loads of replies. Days where I will only write drabbles And days when I do nothing but catch up on IMs.
✘ We don’t mind pre-established relationships on this blog especially with regards to the arrancar and they are certainly more preferable than beginning stages.
✘ If you would like to interact, send us any of memes you see me reblog. Or, you can always feel free to just shoot us an ask anytime! IC or OOC questions are welcome!
✘ I rp only with mutuals. However, I also accept asks sent in from non-mutuals, especially from personal blogs who ask ooc or even ic questions. Be it for character development or if you’re just saying hello to the muse or mun. we appreciate it~
And lastly, to all my followers, kindly remember; “you can’t pour from an empty cup, take care of yourself first.” Self-care is important. So remember to take care of yourself. But also to be kind to others.
not to go into a full-on rant because boy does this make me heated. but I don't much care for how fanon decides that starrk is nothing but this lazy one-dimensional character that naps a lot or how they make him out to be less than he actually is. that is so boring and restrictive and limiting and just plain dumb. and people who see him that way overlook so many other things we see of his character for the sake of one scene where he was napping and then rudely woken up by lilynette.
starrk is sharp, he's highly intelligent. he's observant. he's perceptive. he's analytical. he's honourable. he's a leader. he's caring. he can be tempermental and a bit of a troll. and he's an outlier from the rest of the espada and the arrancar and seems to be almost more human-like than them if it wasn't for his indifference/aloofness that comes from his not being interested in dealing with how the rest are so power-hungry or the mind games they go through to try and be the best. he just wanted to have some friends but when he realised that wasn't happening where he was in las noches he decided to keep to himself because he wasn't like the others. that didn't mean he didn't care for them and that was shown during the winter war when they started dying.
he didn't get much screen time but in the little time that he did we got to see many different sides of him. he's powerful but he doesn't want that power because it takes away from him. and yet ppl still only see him as this lazy thing that only wants to nap.
You're not a male wife. You're a house husband. The way of the house husband is a good show too. 👌
yes. that one is better. house husband works out for me since i stay at home and i'm a husband too. i haven't seen that show but will probably have to look it up when we get a television.
There is a term: stay at home dad. This applies to you too.
Hmm. that does apply to me somewhat. I mostly do stay at home with the little ones and i am their primary caregiver. but i also have my own little side business.

and accordingly, on this very first day of the new year. been here rping for a little over a decade now on tumblr and thought to share what i hope to see more of in the role-playing community.
more interactions with your mutuals. and less cliquey-ness. i mean it’s only natural and human nature to like certain people more than others. but that’s not what i’m talking about here. what i mean is actually trying to reach out and interact with the mutuals you followed and share a dash with. be it ooc or ic. you did follow them for a reason. and trust me they would love to hear your thoughts and views on their creations or even how you could write together. be that kind soul that showers others with good words. but also rping is a two-way street and you shouldn’t expect people to come to you if you can’t or don’t want to do the same. kick shyness to the curb and reach out to your mutuals more.
it’s okay to soft block/hard block others, it’s not personal. alternatively, sometimes you will have fallouts with people for whatever reason. do what is best for you and learn to set your own boundaries for your own comfort. if that means soft-blocking or even hard blocking. so be it. at the end of the day, you have to look out for numero uno and that is you. maybe, somewhere down the line when the fates allow it things will change and you can talk again to those you can’t at the moment. but even if that never happens, that’s okay too. not everyone is meant to get along at the end of the day.
sending random praise or feedback. when you like someone’s portrayal of a certain character you adore. or if they make you see some character in a manner you never thought was possible and you ended up liking them. then let that person know! chances are you will end up making their day and isn’t that the best feeling ever? a little kindness goes a long way. paying it forward will make it come back to you eventually too.
could we stop with the vague blogging. seriously many of us have been here for ages and are now adults. there is no excuse for it. you’re no longer an ignorant child to do it. it’s just not cool. don’t vague people. if something upsets you, step away from the pc and go get some fresh air. you probably need it more than staring at the puter anyway. just don’t vague someone to make yourself feel better or gain pity points. if the thing still bugs you go be brave and talk to the person directly. keep it off the dash because honestly, vague blogging is small-minded and weak. it’s also indirect bullying since the people agreeing with you because they like you, are dissing on someone they know nothing about.
drama is best for ic threads not ooc. this also carries on from the previous point. call-out culture, vague blogging, creating ooc drama, virtue signalling, policing others all that needs to just be forgotten and left behind with the years that have passed as by. again, we are adults here. no excuses for acting like children and treating others like shit just so you can feel better. that goes for anon hate too. it’s cowardly. it’s sad. it sucks. and you can do so much better than that.
curb your rp partner expectations pls. rping might not be for you if you find it difficult to accept the fact that your rping partner writes and ships with someone other than you. unless you both agree to be in a single-ship situation which is different and not the current topic. rp partners will write with others and if that is not okay with you then maybe it’s time to go move on. it’s just healthy for folks to have several rping partners since it’s more fun that way and that’s how your own character develops. but other times maybe you and them just don’t gel and that is no fault of anyone. just happens. and if it does also time to move on.
you are allowed to turn down rp requests. you are allowed to say no without explaining yourself. you are allowed to not get along with people. you are allowed to not write anything if you’re not feeling it. you are allowed not to feel guilty. you are allowed to delete asks or drafts if they make you feel guilty since you tried but just couldn’t get to them. you are allowed to just have fun. rping is a hobby. it’s fun. it’s not a job. do what makes you feel good and that is all.
stop comparing yourself to duplicates. everyone is good in their own way. and that is the beauty of different interpretations. just because someone you follow writes more with a version of your muse doesn’t make yours any less valid. your muse is just as valid as anyone else’s. comparing yourself with others only makes you miserable and is bad headspace you don’t want to get yourself into. try and avoid that and just have fun writing the character you chose because you love them!
make it a habit to praise others. writing it again because yes pls. here is a reminder to appreciate your fellow mutuals and other role players on things other than how well-liked they are. commend them on their writing. praise their artwork. appreciate their presence on your dash or anything else that highlights their talent rather than how “famous” they are. people love it when they are recognised and appreciated. they like it when their abilities are adored. not just that consideration of how many people adore them.
and lastly, can we just have fun. rping at the end of the day is about writing not just by yourself, that’s fanfiction. but it’s writing and weaving a story with another person. and making characters come alive and just shine in their own right. and that is the beauty of rping and why I’ve personally stuck to it for a good decade. it’s never boring. there’s always something new to learn or enjoy. and there are lots of friendships to be made during that process too. enjoy it and don’t stress it.
