time to yap about the rpc ♡

🌸 the blog/s that most inspires me

i know how cop-out it's gonna sound if i say all my mutuals inspires me INCLUDING ESPECIALLY YOU NESO. but it's just true. why else would i follow them if that weren't the case ?? but in any case, here's a spotlight on a few who really just make my muse and author brain go brrr, and why:

@koschyei ( + @lebedevya / @alucinore ). i don't know what i could possibly say that i haven't already atp. cali and i had a shotgun wedding back in august and im still trying to figure out how to tell my husband abt it. same brain worms, same heart, one of my favorite writers (i can never rank them, so i just have a collection of 5-10 total faves), and my favorite world-builder by far. prolly gotta be one of the best on this entire website too. endlessly inspires me. makes me feel like i could write forever. i love her i love her i love her i loooooove her my rp soulmate frrr.

@azarathian (+ @maskg ). really close, careful characterizations. everything civi does on raven / mo mi makes it so easy for me to imagine a million places our dynamics could go. raven and adella in particular are very. pink gf purple gf trope and i love it sm. but our own personal dynamic-building aside, i'm just an immense fan of civi's narration, and how she curates her blogs to translate exactly to you, the reader, how the characters are supposed to make you feel ?? she always has something interesting to say abt psychology in every one of her threads (yes i . .. . read them all ... like a hungry dog). and she's one of the sweetest ppl on this entire website too and i luuuv her.

@blacknighted. said this before, will say it again, dean's got some of the best, most unique and freshest writing styles on this entire website, and i been here a looong time, so i consider myself a good judge! makes me wanna be a better writer, inspires me every time i see it on dash and also when i write with him.

@nexusbeing. vibes immaculate since day one. mind numbingly gorgeous writing style. evocative. rlyyyyy sexy. psychotic. just inhabits wanda so well; i started loving wanda through layilil, so that just goes to show the power of her ability to build love and care like that from scratch. i just know she's a big inspiration for me because i felt like i was going insane writing a starter for her a week or two ago, the specific type of brain rot where the words just start flying off the page.

@veilhouse ( + @dvaurga / @luckstole ). echoing similar thoughts to how civi makes me feel through her blogs, cora's blogs are just. a master class in understanding how to curate character aura and beaming it right into your brain. they give you soo much to work with across all their blogs, that when i'm writing stuff for them it's so easy to just dive in. i don't have to sit there and wrack my brain for a million hours to figure out the hook, which just goes to show that cora is an excellent /rper/, not just an excellent writer. i feel like their blogs are just. an incredible playground to explore and know intimately and love each and every one of their characters.

@melniibone ( + @domusmortis). flint's got one of the biggest brains here. i'm so serious. INCREDIBLE, engaged plotter with incredible ideas. range is insanely good. passionate about their craft, world building, and word painting. exaaactly the type of writer i vibe with, especially when it comes to horror. it feels like true rp, energetic, improv back and forth where we're both being so active about taking the story somewhere interesting. a gem in this rpc tbh. i def don't want my dash to ever not have flint's presence.

@wiedzlak. i mentioned it a couple times here but the witcher series (books / games) is so incredibly precious to me, and geralt is by far my favorite character and one of my favorite characters of all time. i admire and love everything kat is doing on her blog. how closely she looks at geralt, how her passion is shown through every single one of her threads. such a strong hold over geralt's voice and brain and general isms. forever and ever follow fr.

@evincere & @misericordiis. to me hawk and saint go hand in hand cuz they're married in my head. hawk has had an incredible track record of getting my busy, media-avoidant ass to obsess over new material for my writer brain to sink into. they just knowww what i know i'll like and have inspired me for a decade at this point so i just HAD to put them here. and saint is a new addition to my rp life but a fast favorite. i loveee rping with her and i love how she loves adella and lets me yap abt her they both are just sldkms. also, i'm seeing them in a few weeks so i'm extra heart eyes about them hehe. my bestest buddiessss i love em.

i couldn't be too direct. though i rather doubted that the other young fox was the type to scare easily. . . no, i knew she wasn't the type! it was still best to approach with subtlety, a casualness that would null the fact that i have been laying here in wait for her to find me for some time now. she, the apparent prodigy housed within these walls of staggering standards and harsh condemnations. she would have no trouble sniffing me out the moment she came close enough. all i had to do was wait.

what i shouldn't have done was fall asleep while waiting.

i have only been here a fortnight and already, my mind had rewired itself to play, with an unsettling sense of automation that was beyond my own control and instinct, the sound of aunt's voice [ low yet clear, measured yet cutting ] chastising me for my carelessness, my incompetence. my claws scrabbled against the warm hardwood floors as i jerked out of my sudden, deep slumber. muscle memory pulled at my form as if i'd transformed somehow in my sleep from fox to puppet, a thing of real, pulsating blood and energy.. to nothing but a limp mass of cheap cotton balls covered in a shabby pelt of matted dirty white fur. i felt odd, unkempt in a way, and i could smell my own sharp panic in the air. looking around wildly, i tried to get a sense of where i was in time and space: had the day expired while i slept? were we past midnight? had i missed her — nova?

crawling out of the small pocket of realm - shadow i had kicked up for myself, as a hiding spot, as a shroud, then, evidently, as a roost and blanket, i stretched and i shrunk. bones turned in their sockets and flesh rippled; i tossed back my head and gave the still - lengthening muscles in my neck another spin about my shoulders, the groan slipping my past lips as much a sound of relief as it was my frustration. in this house, there were no clocks. not that i needed one to tell the time, but it would've simplified things. ( humanized them, you mean. ) the house was empty, surely, and i had failed. the house seemed to mock me, tilting slightly in its energy, a near - imperceptible shift in the soundscape, as if someone was lightly, nigh - impossibly lightly, stepping down the stairs—

" nova! " so much for not being direct. there was always next time. but for now, here and now, tonight. . . " you look nice! are you going out? " / @hen2-437

*Gives him comfort* (only throw).

WHO THE HELL IS THIS, and what the fuck have they done with nova.

teddy wonders if someone has brainwashed nova and turned her — cuddly, soft? if she is somehow possessed by a really needy demon? if someone has threatened to break into her house and destroy all her lego builds UNLESS she voluntarily hugs teddy? if she's tripped on a rogue shirt while stealing all his hoodies, hit her head, and lost her memory?

he backs away very quickly, hands in front of him as if warding off an angry goose.

"nuh uh. since when are YOU cuddly? i am NOT falling for this!"

[ngc-7052]

The scent of the apple blossoms curled upwards to fill the room,  carried by the steam of the water in which Nayoon soaked her broken nails. There was nothing being done here that the young fox could not do for herself,  but this wasn’t the point. So long, it has been since she had been allowed the chance to hold the dear one close. To brush the softness of her skin with her own hand;  to feel the thickness of her hair  —   now grown so long,  every strand both silky and strong. The fox held no illusions;   there would be no replacing nor filling of the space her sister had left torn open, the edges of it still ragged and sore like that of a wound made worse by a knife taken back.   She did not need to step into the absence,  for she already had her own place in this world and others.

Here,  however,  the fox did have but a single,  severe demand: when it is only you and I,  little one,  there will be no façades.

A tall order,  perhaps.   But in the fox’s eyes   —  it was only right.   To the rest of this cruel and poisoned world,  the young fox could be whoever,  whatever she needed or wanted to be;   none of them were owed her true face,  much less deserving it.   But in the company of only each other,  honesty was owed.   The fox did not intend to hide from her own kin;  was it truly strict that she demanded the same in return?

THERE'S A SHIMMER IN YOUR EYES, / @hen2-437

the little one shot back. Hyeonju did not smile,  but neither did she frown.   Her gaze held steady on the dark, dark hair slipping through her fingers as she brushed it.  She had expected some resistance.  There was a hardness about the girl and this,  she did not mind.   All the better to break the teeth of any foolish creature that dared to bite down.     “   It is not a disguise.   That you can see it means I am not hiding. Remove your hands from the water.   ”

Placing the wood - backed hairbrush down, Hyeonju spun the little one around. With one hand,  she offered her a soft towel with which Nayoon could dry her hands. The other,  she curled beneath the little one's chin and used her knuckles to gently lift her face up, then held it there as she fanned her fingers, lightly cupping her cheek. The fox took a good,  hard look.   The shimmer in her eyes never faded. “   Your eyes are like your mother’s.   Stubborn.   ”     Her hand slipped away and so did some of the stoniness in her face. “   Romantic.   ”

Hen 2-437

Hen 2-437 is a planetary nebula in the Milky Way, located towards the constellation Vulpecula, the Fox. Some 3000 planetary nebulae have been found within our galaxy, many with the more characteristic spherical shape but some with “bipolar” jets like Hen 2-437.

Planetary nebula form at the end of a medium (Sun-sized) star’s life. After running out of fuel and expanding into a red giant star, it emits its outer layers and shrinks into a white dwarf. Radiation and stellar winds from the core star shape and illuminate the cast off material, creating stunning nebulae.

time to yap about the rpc ♡

⭐️ my roleplay pet peeves

very little truly bothers me at my ripe old age of 31, apart from the obvious. but someee things annoy me a little i guess, like:

expecting someone to reply to you if they're online and getting offended if they don't. no one owes you ASAP responses. people need space and time to think and even gather energy. it's not personal. things can just get really overwhelming here / draining fast and we're all trying our best.

communicate if you have problems with anything related to rp, if a starter doesn't work for you, etc. it's not easy to communicate about tougher things or being honest about what you want but it's worth it. building a real rp partnership takes communication and time, and sometimes hard conversations and a realization that we might not be in-sync this way, and how can we make it better? and when you're out the other end of it, your muse will be SO high and you'll make incredible stories together. it just takes the effort.

this is more a concept i don't like rather than anything that actively annoys me bc my space here is so soft and comfortable and nice, and i love all of you, but just saying it bc the rpc can get crazy sometimes: anything that would give off a feeling of competition or jealousy. whether it be for attention or ships or anything like that. like it's so incredibly childish. some people are closer to you than others and that's normal and okay and no one should be afraid to favor some dynamics or plots or threads or even muns over others. that's just where their inspiration is atm. that's just how all people-people relationships work. that's just realistic. that's why mains / exclusives are a thing, too. NOTHING IS PERSONAL.

💚 whose writing speaks the most to me

@koschyei @koschyei @koschyei <3 she already knows the full extent of it but. as if that's gonna stop me from saying it another way all over again !!! i'm so endlessly inspired by everything cali writes, whether it's with me or with anyone else, i'm suuuch a lover of it all. it's been a while since i felt this way about a rp partner tbh !! and it's waaay more than just writing i like and vibe with, it certainly is writing that speaks to me. that inspires me to really deep in my character and thought process and try to match her level of creativity and thinking !! she has such a lush, velvety, fairytale, romantic, dark, alluring, brooding style that alone is enough to enrapture you. i'm constantly wondering how she thought of her ideas, certain phrases, etc. all throughout her prose.

but !! BUT !! that's only just the first layer of her writing. yes, it's beautiful, yes it's vibey, yes it's a delight to read to the point that every time i near the end of whatever she's written i get sad and experience withdrawal symptoms lmfaooo ... but when you go deeper you can easily see just how reflective it is of the fact that she is sooooo well-researched, passionate, intelligent, and talented. her deep fascination with mythologies of all kinds and how it is influenced by as well as actively shapes the cultures they're tied to really comes through in all her writing. throughout her accounts, she's exploring and saying such profound themes about humanity, failures and achievements, the human body in all of its emotional and physical capabilities, and the desperate need to figure out where we fit alongside myths and the general cosmos. she's thinking of really grand themes, lots of unique, stylistic layering, the music of language, grief, love, loss, desperation, panic ... and it all gets seamlessly packaged together in beautiful prose every single time ?? like she literally never misses ONCE.

she's very, very big brained, dungeon master big brained, with all of her rich world-building and nuances of characterization that make her stories and dialogue and the tiny little actions they take feel so alive and really grab you in as the reader. and all the. just. care and passion is so plain to see. everyone can play dnd, but not everyone can be a dungeon master for a reason, because it's a whole 'nother skillset and it's just. really hard. lmao. everyone can write a story, but not everyone can write Literature for a reason. and cali really has those skills to me. once you read her writing and see how she thinks i swear it's like impossible to go back or have your standard for good prose not go up a million levels higher. truly changed me tbh. on top of that she's just my little angel i adore so much and is always a bright spot in my day and i can't imagine my tumblr times or friend times without her atp. i mean. i CAN. i managed this long without her (fucked up if true), but i would have like at least a million percent less heart and happiness heh. anyway, i love her sm sm.

🍓/ If possible, can you do this for @viciousgrace?

positivity hour. ♡

finishing up my backlog on these once again !! and focusing on a greaty great dear of mine who deserves all the positivity in the world. yue @viciousgrace is not only an excellent, thoughtful writer (their style never feels overwritten, every detail and description is purposeful and so very beautiful and clear), but their ability to help imagine up and really put the effort in BUILDING strong dynamics between your muse and theirs is something i find so precious and compatible with my style of character and worldbuilding. it's the kind of rp partnerships that remind me of the kind you had in 2016 where you're both so invested and excited and active and aaa !! it's truly no wonder how i got so attached to them and our writings tg so quickly. they're the type of person i wouldn't think twice about having a million threads with. on top of that, yue is just a sweetheart kindness-in-a-bottle kind of a person. i am soooo fond of them and love them lots and dearly and forever and ever.
