hi! love the concept, but i was just wondering what your guys' stance is on genderbending characters? sorry if this has already been asked! i had a look through the previous asks, but i might have overlooked it.

hey anon! no this one hasn’t been asked, and unfortunately we’re not green-lighting this notion. the alternative, of course, is to making an original character that exudes the personality/character you want to represent :)

WARNING: MAY GET INTENSE

concept: you are granted one wish by the universe.  

meditate and exercise: show emotion. tell feeling. 

reflect: describe the world through your eyes; alternatively, you can also describe a loved one, or something that makes you feel unbelievably serene  

character insight (your characters (literary or real life) before they arrive in rigor samsa) 

has your character witnessed something that fundamentally changed them? if so, does anyone else know? 

which do they idealize most: happiness or success?  

in what situation have they felt most afraid? and in contrast, most calm? 

in what ways do they compare themselves to others? 

how do they behave around the people they don’t like? 

describe the wound they carry throughout their existence.  

how do they see themselves? 

what would they give their lives for? 

and what would it take for them to be happy? 

now, you needn’t answer every question! and should you decide to, you can answer them through prose, poems, visuals, whatever you fancy. :) if you feel like going into paragraphs, that’s fine too! just don’t forget the tag #rigorsamsarp! (we’ll be rebloggin’ when we’re able) this always gives me wonky trouble but y’all can take a gander here if you want follow the tag <3 thank you kindly!

WE COME BEARING ONLY GOOD NEWS. ISH.  

SO, we did plan on at least a soft opening this weekend, and we were hoping for a miracle to happen, but such is life and so on, we not only need more time to finish setting up the pillars of our community, but there is the case of mother’s day, among other things planned this weekend, that has both admins tied up! (also, we did forget and only remembered last minute, hehe) 

the flipside to this (we hope you see it that way, at least) is that this will be the last weekend where we’ll all be suspended in tumblr. meaning! we’ll be opening the site on monday! <3333 come hell or high water, whatever that means

now that we’ve got that out of the day, ADVANCED HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO Y’ALLS MAMAS, COZ WITHOUT THEM WE AIN’T PROBABLY NEVER EXIST IN THE FIRST PLACE, and wouldn’t that just be the biggest tragedy since hamlet (yes, inaya, we’re with you!) we hope y’all have a good time this weekend, pamper them with love and marinate in the understanding that if all else fails, you know you got a mama who’ll love you unconditionally, and we mean, unconditionally. but you know, we do sometimes tend to neglect showing them our gratitude... so let’s do something about it yeah!! breakfast in bed, kiss on the cheek, the little things always matter!! 

in the meantime, we’ll be providing writing exercises for anyone who’s up for it! it’s not mandatory, but it’s just if you’re itching to write somewhere, and in-character, you know. or not in-character, just thoughts to write somewhere.  

we’ll also advice now on graphics;  mini avie and profile avie - 250x450   gif and totem - 100x100 we strongly advice on using b/w for the avies!!

aaaand that’s all for now from us! we’ll be posting the writing exercises in a bit, but that’s really it. this is the final break before the storm, so we hope y’all are prepared!! be good, stay kind, and shoutout to the lovelies who posted their brilliant not-intro intros!! <3

So! I understand the reincarnated souls, I think, but did they awake from their world or ours? For example, if we played Harry Potter (but won't, of course, just an example), did he die at Hogwarts and awake in this world, or did he always live in this world and his previous story is adjusted to fit it? Does that make sense? Basically were they in their own world or this one before reincarnation!

that does makes sense, anon! and it’s that they basically came from their own world - directly from their time period. so it’s like someone snatched their soul from their reality and placed it in a degraded simulation-sort of earth in another universe.
