HI NONNIES, admin tether here! just stopping by during our little break to thank you all for the wonderfully kind words of encouragement and appreciation <3 we definitely feel the love, and are so honored to have had all of you along with us for this journey. 33 apps is absolutely insane and we couldn't be more appreciative for all the enthusiasm, creativity, and excitement you've shown blessthetide. we're working hard to get acceptances up soon, and you'll hear from us shortly. can't wait to get things started! may the tide bless you <3

might be a hard one but I would love to see skeletons as poe or lovecraft short stories considering all the spooky vibes…

OMG OMG OMG yes I can absolutely do that for you. these are a mix of poe and lovecraft, including both poems and short stories, and are very intentional if you catch my drift and totallyyyy not representative of my deep love for gothic and eldritch horror...definitely not...

dial tone : the conversation of eiros and charmion (poe).

empty leash : the whisperer in darkness (lovecraft).

yellow tape : the cask of amontillado (poe).

forward address : the masque of the red death (poe).

homecoming : the shadow over innsmouth (lovecraft).

ink bleed : the tell-tale heart (poe).

skipping track : the raven (poe).

carbon paper : the case of charles dexter ward (lovecraft).

spare bedroom : the dreams in the witch house (lovecraft).

folding chair : the color out of space (lovecraft).

failsafe : ulalume (poe).

bent antenna : the rats in the walls (lovecraft).

pressed flowers : berenice (poe).

dust jacket : the silver key (lovecraft).

safety scissors : a dream within a dream (poe).

any teasers you can give us for acceptances?

LOVE THE ENTHUSIASM! unfortunately, that is a resounding no from our team. everything is still under lock and key, and besides, we still haven't read through apps besides confirming apps are filled out correctly! we don't even know who we're choosing yet! have no fear, though; you'll have all the answers you seek soon! we're just under 33 and a half hours until submissions close, and from there, we'll take a little while to deliberate before acceptances sometime later in the day saturday. I can tell you that (if plans don't change) we're expecting to announce everything in one big post, and dms with the server link will follow shortly thereafter. if you're just now finding us, check out our 12 open skeletons here! our submissions close saturday, march 14th @ 9am est. good luck, and may the tide bless you!

is it possible to get the skeleton descriptions for the taken ones, similar to how they other skeletons have descriptions above the aesthetics, so skeletons with connections to the taken ones can get a better understanding of them for the existing ties portion of the app

THIS TOOK ME WAY TOO LONG, but here you go anon! hopefully these help you make more conns with these beautiful skellies. I’m on mobile currently, so can’t update these on the skeletons themselves yet, so that will be done by admin reverie!

pressed flowers: pressed flowers has a hard time deciphering between what was then and what is now. memory, like the tide, sweeps them out, drags them in, and then pulls them back into the water. will they swim, or will they drown?

dust jacket: dust jacket has always taken refuge in stories—weaving them, guiding them, transforming them into what they’re meant to be. but on this island, stories are not always what they seem, and it is growing increasingly difficult to separate truth from fable.

safety scissors: safety scissors has been searching for a guiding light for as long as they can remember. they ran to stillwater to escape a past that rests upon them like a cloak of shadow. but the island has its own shadows, and safety scissors has found themselves as an unlikely light in the darkness, revealing that which should never be seen.

hi! i’m torn between yellow tape and folding chair, do you maybe have fc suggestions in mind for them to help gravitate me a bit? 🎈

hi nonnie!! all of our fc suggestions (including for yellow tape and folding chair) can be found here! if you have any ideas you'd like to run past us, feel free to do so by way of the ask box or messaging us--whatever floats your boat :)

what are the odds youd create a discord role for people who just want to watch what happens? i hate discord rps/dont have time but am sooo desperate to see what happens… idk if thats weird since i never do tumblr rps!

HATE TO BREAK YOUR HEART, nonnie, but as of right now, there are no plans to make this happen. I think admin reverie mentioned this somewhere but I can't find the post right now. currently, our plans is to keep the discord group private, but if something changes and we do end up with a spectator role, we'll be sure to update you!

+2 added to the app count. ( havana rose liu as homecoming penned by bunny and lee soohyuk as empty leash penned by h)

[blessthetide]

could we answer all the prompts or would you like us to limit to the two?

HI THERE! that is totally up to you, anon! if it’s something you’d like to do, absolutely feel free to go for it. you’re welcome to go as wild as you’d like or just stick to the requirements—either way, we’re super excited to see your app!
