PEOPLE I’D LIKE TO KNOW BETTER.

repost, don’t reblog.

–  one  /  name / alias.  Jasmine / Jazzy –  two  /  birthday.  January 3rd –  three  /  zodiac sign.   🐐  (Capricorn) –  four  /  height.  5′5.5′’, to be precise  –  five  /  hobbies.  Writing, studying literary theory, watching makeup videos on Youtube, playing League, swimming, hanging out with friends –  six  /  favourite colors.  Red, pink, black  –  seven  /  favourite books.  Their Eyes Were Watching God, Invisible Man –  eight  /  last song listened to.  Phalanx by Recondite  –  nine  /  last film watched.  Men In Black International –  ten  /  inspiration for muse.  I try to study a variety of topics when it comes to Riven so that my portrayal can be as accurate. Some things I study include: Greece, Nigeria and the Igbo language, the United States Military, Ancient Rome, semi-nomadic/nomadic lifestyle and the tools needed to do it, etc. I also draw from different parts of myself, both things I love (i.e our favorite season is summer), or things that are opposite of me (i.e. she doesn’t really like or care to drink coffee) –  eleven  /  dream job.  I’m studying to be a professor of creative writing. I’d also like to be a writer in the professional scene and get my first book published. –  twelve /  meaning behind your url.  It’s old girl...my logic at the time was “i want exiled but that’s taken, what do i do” and this happened. Now it brings me joy to watch people decide if it’s said as ‘esiled’ or ‘ekiled’

SHIPPING INFO!   answer the following for your muse so people know how shipping works on your blog.  repost, don’t reblog.

WHAT’S YOUR OTP FOR YOUR MUSE?:

it almost always has & will likely always be Yasuo/Riven. i did used to hate the ship because i was also on the train of thought where they were enemies and there was just no chance, but being introduced to an amazing Yasuo roleplayer + doing some further research let me see it in a different light. there’s just something magical about his energy that blends so well with Riven, creating a dynamic i that is soothing, understanding, and provides both characters - who have a similar past - a foundation for a strong love. 

WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO RP WHEN IT COMES TO SHIPPING?:

no abuse, no noncon/dubcon, no ships where somebody wants Riven purely because they’re fetishizing her blackness or fatness. i am otherwise open to all kinds of ships - feelgood ships, romantic ships, hateships, ships based purely on sex, etc. 

HOW LARGE DOES THE AGE GAP HAVE TO BE TO MAKE IT UNCOMFORTABLE?

i’m nonplussed by an upper age limit ( although depending on said age, Riven probably won’t be as interested in an old person ), but the lower limit would be 24-25, although i have made a couple of exceptions for 19-23 age range provided that didn’t feel like a power imbalance. anything under 18+ is a hard no and should be given.

ARE YOU SELECTIVE WHEN SHIPPING?:

i love to ship and explore dynamics !! i’m even open to people asking me forthright provided we are talking it out in IMs/on discord and plotting interactions that make it feasible. that said, shipping is the only thing i restrict to mutuals out of comfort and for the sake of development. 

HOW FAR DO STEAMY MOMENTS HAVE TO GO BEFORE THEY’RE CONSIDERED NS.FW?:

the moment things get more ‘hot & heavy’ ( mentioning arousal or genitalia, nudity, etc. )  i will slap on the good ol’ ns.fw sticker. 

WHO ARE OTHER MUSES YOU SHIP YOUR MUSE WITH?:

@general-darius​, @yuhl​, @shefox​, a tenative hateship with @deceivcd​, and occasional flings with a few others

DOES ONE HAVE TO ASK TO SHIP WITH YOU?

that’s how you start, yes ! and as i said above, so long as we’re mutuals and we’re trying to plot it out, my answer will most likely be yes! 

HOW OFTEN DO YOU LIKE TO SHIP?:

often, but i’m trying to limit my ships for the sake of  manageability and due to the fact that i’m a bit more particular with people whose activity levels are inconsistent, or make it hard to try and plot out something more long term 

ARE YOU SHIP OBSESSED OR SHIP MORE-OR-LESS?:

i don’t think so in general ( although my openess to shipping has led me to affectionately crack that Riven channels her ‘thottiness’ ). i know i can come off as being ‘obsessive’ in Yasuo/Riven...........and i am, simply because it’s my special interest and i’m very attached to the dynamic in a way that has held my interest for almost two years now.

ARE YOU MULTISHIP?:

well, i did just mention several ships.................

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SHIP IN YOUR CURRENT FANDOM?:

definitely still Yasuo/Riven, but i have a weakness for Darius/Riven and Lucian/Riven. 

WHAT IS YOUR NOTP?:

Riven with any yordles, anything “ monstrous “ ( think void creatures ), Zac/Riven, Talon/Riven, and romantic Irelia/Riven ( flings or friend-with-benefit type situations are okay ) 

FINALLY, HOW DOES ONE SHIP WITH YOU?:

i thought you just asked that >:? just be cool, be a mutual, be at least somewhat consistent in your writing and go !! go forth and ask me !!!

morbidity of a premature death aside, the thing that kills me the most is that Riven doesn’t get to see this gathering one last time for her. people from other territories and in other countries are coming to watch. people are mourning and showing their love.

some little girl who grew up fighting in the slums ends up being a beloved hero to her people and loved by many.

excuse me i have to go cry now. 

[eciled-moved]

as i plan out my chapterfic, To Fell a Nation, i had a thought on how to address a common argument.

‘ Jasmine xd! Riven is like, a Noxian! why would Yasuo get romantically involved with her? ‘ 

and in case you’re also wondering ‘but muh elder!,’ i am making this claim on two assumptions:

1. Riven did not kill the elder based on the absence of evidence beyond Yasuo’s in-game quotes, AMA support from the creator, and other technicalities that make it difficult to believe, AND

2  that Riven indeed is working on her stated goal to fix Noxus. 

with that aside, let’s crack down on it. 

a common problem with these two in the eyes of nonshippers may have to do with the idea that the atrocities Riven’s committed are being ‘looked over’ for the sake of making it work, and honestly? totally fair! if the person i was romantically interested in had a hand in destroying my country, i sure as fuck would not be all aboard the forgiveness train. 

i don’t expect Yasuo to, at first. hell, a part of me doesn’t even expect him to AT ALL. he is under no obligation to pardon Riven of what she’s done, regardless of how remorseful she may be and even in spite of the fact that she wants to fix Noxus. 

Riven isn’t dependent on or asking for that forgiveness, either.

she knows what she’s done. she knows she can’t take it back. to her, going forward and making it right is all she can do, and whether or not somebody finds that adequate is squarely on them. i think those in Ionia - as i’ve seen in countless fanfic and from my own roleplays - will have varying opinions on her deeds, her as a person, and if they want to look past that in the effort of believing in her cause. 

now, based on the fact that these two bear so similar of backgrounds,  that’s where i think the possibility for a conversation to start comes in. by and large, i believe that with them getting to know each other, Yasuo will see that. he’ll see that she understands him and his loss in a way few others are able to. in his eyes, what she’s done is not - and should not be - glossed over ,but with that in mind i think he’ll also see somebody trying to right what they’ve done and break away from a country who has candidly destroyed lives in the name of its agenda. 

in the end, i think the added layer of Yasuo grappling with what Riven’s done versus what she can be and becomes to him makes for a far more interesting dynamic.

working concepts for the Angelblade AU. i lack artistic capability ( which is why the hood looks like a moon ecks dee ) but i was trying to jot what i could down for potential commissions. turns out i’m just proud enough of this to share it.
