pain and suffering is every day,

Independent YELENA BELOVA roleplay blog.

[stainedkept]

This would be a cool way to die,

An INDEPENDENT ROLEPLAY BLOG featuring YELENA BELOVA from the MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE (MCU). Please read guidelines before interacting. Established March 2023 and loved fiercely by Katie. About ⧗ Starter Calls ⧗ RP Memes

Guidelines,

ONE: This is a selective independent roleplay blog. The people I choose to follow are people I wish to write with. In an attempt to keep my dash focused on the friends I am writing with, I will not be following personal blogs.

TWO: My replies will always vary depending upon the scene. Short, quick scenes will often get a short (a couple lines to a paragraph max) reply while a plotted thread will feature a multi-paragraph reply. I keep my formatting simple with text paired with a gif. I do not require the same from my partners. All I ask is that my partners put equal effort into moving scenes along.

THREE: This blog features a muse with questionable morals. Yelena is an assassin and she does a really good job. Depending upon the scene, she can be very helpful or a very dangerous threat. There will be triggering content that appears on this blog. Triggers will be tagged tw:. Some common triggering content that may appear on this blog: violence, killing, kidnapping, torture, and death.

FOUR: Please do not break roleplay etiquette. No godmodding or metagaming. When it comes to fighty action scenes, I operate on a trading blows system (unless it is reasonable to assume one character would certainly not win) while we plot out who the winner(s) and loser(s) are.

FIVE: Family (blood relation and/or found), friendship, and enemy themes are among my favorite themes to explore with my muse. That doesn’t mean I dislike romance. Oh, I love that too. But I enjoy writing about two friends grabbing a drink, or a pair of bitter enemies about to throw down as much as I enjoy writing a spicy scene.

SIX: Romance is tricky with Yelena. For the most part, she does not engage in it. She is still trying to figure out who she is and what she wants to do now that she is free. She does have a soft spot for Kate Bishop, and I am happy to explore that.

SEVEN: I will often reblog memes. I treat rp memes as fun little ways for our muses to interact especially if we haven’t yet! So, if you see me reblog rp memes, take this as your invitation to toss them into my inbox. I swear you won’t annoy me. Most likely, I’ll smile.

EIGHT: Yelena will always have snacks with her in almost every scene I write. It's those pockets. You can put so much in them. You can't even tell.

NINE: My name is Katie (she/her) and I'm in my 30s. I've been roleplaying for a very long time. It's my favorite hobby.

YELENA BELOVA and KATE BISHOP

in Should we fight or should we talk

[greatcstarcher]

@stainedkept liked for a starter

“i  don't  know  what  you're  talking  about.”  kate  spoke  as  she  looked  at  yelena  as  if  she  didn't  do  anything.  that  she  was  completely  innocent.  “whatever  it  is,  i  didn't  do  it.”  not  that  she  remembered.  but  she  was  going  to  claim  innocence  before  being  proven  guilty…  which  was  most  likely  knowing  kate.  nevertheless,  she's  sticking  to  her  word.

[stainedkept]

"So the arrow in the wall playing the soda song is not your arrow?" Yelena pointed to the purple colored arrow sticking out from the wall. Somehow, tiny little speakers on the arrow were playing the music Yelena had been hearing non-stop after watching that hunter show with Kate. Yelena tilted her head as her brow arched in question. She didn't believe that Kate was innocent. This was clearly the result of something Kate had done while she had been away.

"Kate Bishop," Yelena tried again, this time with a slightly more warning tone. "What happened?"

[greatcstarcher]

kate needs @stainedkept to know she can drink if she lets kate keep her one fork collection cause why tf would she need more when she's one person???

[stainedkept]

yelena needs @greatcstarcher to remember that one fork is not cutlery. also two people living together cannot survive on just one fork.

FULL-TIME AVENGERS // A STARTER FOR @greatcstarcher

Things had changed drastically from the last text she had sent Kate prior to Valentina trying to burn her alive taking Valentina's latest job to now. With her face plastered across every newspaper and screen as a New Avenger. Not exactly what she had been thinking when she had asked for a more public facing job. But now here she was. Finally back in the familiar apartment she shared with Kate Bishop.

"...and now I am New Avenger." Yelena nodded as she finished sharing her story. "How is Little Alexei?"

AUNT AND NIECE BONDING TIME // A STARTER FOR @redheadarcher

After tossing the delicious cheese dust into the pot of macaroni, Yelena turned at the sound of her niece's question. "Oh that?" She saw what Scarlett was holding. One of Alexei's older team logo designs printed on a shirt. "That is your dedushka's new hobby. Apparently you cannot just go and do a job. You must have a branding."

Yelena finished up the macaroni and cheese and brought the pot and a bottle of hot sauce over to the table. "Come. Sit. Eat. I promise I will take you to do something fun once you are done."

LEGACIES // STARTER FOR @shardsofstark

Laying back across the couch, Yelena stared up at the ceiling. The small apartment was nothing like the spacious fancy New Avengers Tower. That wasn't the building's official name. It was just the name she was calling it in her head. "I did not know it was possible for a Stark to live in a place where the walls don't talk to you."

Yelena listened to Nadia's Stark's very quiet and measured footsteps. "It took a bit of digging before I could put the pieces together. You did a really good job at hiding yourself, Nadia."

HIT THE FANCY ROBOTS // STARTER FOR @talvisoldat

As the fancy expensive training robot dropped to the floor, Yelena looked over towards Bucky. "I found the business card you left behind the box of macaroni." A business card with the name of therapist. A really good therapist based on the light research she had done before disposing of the card. "That is the fourth one I have found. You must stop leaving them everywhere."

She stepped over one of the fallen robots. "You should join in on hitting the expensive robots. It is fun."

A BETTER SANDWICH // A STARTER FOR @starkfauxpas

"Your security still sucks." Yelena closed the door to Ana's refrigerator with an assembled sandwich in one hand and a cold beer in the other. "But the sandwich options are better." She took a large bite out of the sandwich, chewed, and then nodded. Better. More options.

Yelena moved towards the table. "Do not worry. There is no dead man in your dumpster. That is not why I am here. That job is..." She paused to think for a moment. "...tomorrow. Come. Sit." Yelena gestured to the other empty chair.
