😈 Do you think confession blogs are good venting platforms or do they just cause drama? // @spaceyechowrites

In theory I don’t think giving the RPC a place to vent about things that are annoying them is... bad? I think part of being a long term roleplayer on this site is finding your bugbear and suffering in silence whenever it crops up, be it something as serious as disregarding accessibility or as petty as my continued crusade against groups that spam indie rp tags. Having a place to vent and have others in the community say ‘Oh, same!’ can be a good form of affirmation that shows people they are not alone, or a platform for people to offer advice. Full disclosure, that’s what I was angling for when submitting to one in the past -- It was a Tomato/Tomahto debate about my character’s name being translated differently by certain partners despite my using the canonical spelling, and my asking if this was a hill worth dying on or if I should just let my partners use what they preferred.

However, I think once confession blogs turn burnbook style -- IE allowing namedrops, letting people present hyperspecific scenarios rather than general gripes, dragging any ensuing drama out for days if not weeks, and treating all confessions as equal when many can get very ugly and call out large swathes of a community for something that isn’t even a real issue -- then it’s a problem. There’s too much room for bullying or dragging a conflict that could be settled over DMs or just hitting the block button onto a public platform. Not to mention it tends to kick a hornet’s nest and get people involved that have no part in the conflict, usually to painful effect. Like I’m all for callout posts when serious boundaries are being crossed or people are at actual risk of harmed on the platform, but like.... My guy.... Do you need to get a mob going because someone didn’t like a headcanon of yours? Or because their easily inferred headcanon about a mutual canon muse sounds a lot like something in your archive?

My overall thought is that confession blogs are great in theory but do not work in practice just given the nature of the community and how easily abused the system can be.

GIB MORE MINA // @spaceyechowrites​

If you go to her old neighborhood, no one knows who Mina is. Sure, they’ll know the name Wakefield, they’ll know who Mina is on sight, but up until she went away to college, Mina was always known as ‘Willa.’ It’s a nickname her grandmother gave her which stuck until she finally left the Bowery. It’s stuck even after, too.

Mina eventually bought back the old Wakefield home, a historical building off the beaten path in Gotham. Having remodeled must of it and restoring only what fixtures or features were of particular historical note, she’s turned the place into a shelter for whoever might need it. She’s never taken credit for the work, but it should be obvious to those that know her. The main reason she keeps from owning up to the project, however, might be one of the restorations she did allow -- The place has Prohibition-era tunnels leading to various buildings around the city. Having no outward claim to them might help her should certain extracurriculars ever get around.

Specifically, one tunnel leads to what has become Mina’s clinic for... less savory characters. A former speakeasy run out of the back of a dry goods store, Mina got the rights to the long abandoned building and poured a lot of sweat and self-renovation into creating a safe, sterile space for patients. In a worse case scenario, such as the Bat dropping in seeking a patient of hers, she and her charges can be secreted out of an interior room.

@spaceyechowrites​ asked:  “What are you Afraid of?” for bobby to confess one of his fears to rowena

         ❝ i’m afraid of watching the ones around me die, even if it is inevitable. ❞ fear was an emotion that bobby hadn’t let himself feel much since he was young. first his dad and then himself, considering how quickly his mother had turned on him. karen had opened him to emotions he had never felt possible back then and he’d had a lot of fear envelop him the night she was possessed. after that, sure, the normal amount of fear and adrenaline always surged through him on a hunt, but general fears? he hadn’t had any. blood, snakes, spiders, grime, heights, the dark? all things that never felt like a threat to him. but losing the winchesters or any of the other hunters he had come to know and mentor in various ways... was nearly the only thing that he worried about, regardless of how much he’d already lost.

1, 24, and 37 from here

90 loaded questions / interview the muse.

1. What’s your favorite strategy for avoiding tough situations?

"My preferred approach to tough situations is to confront them, not avoid them. Avoiding a problem doesn't make it go away; it only delays the inevitable."

24. Do you ever feel like an imposter?

"I never question my abilities as an Egyptologist, but I do sometimes feel that way as a person of mixed heritage. I'm too English to fit into Egyptian society and too Egyptian to fit into English society."

37. What does someone say is your biggest problem when communicating?

"It depends on who you ask. Most people would say it's my tendency to ramble at length about certain topics, but my brother would say it's being overly critical and lecturing him like a child, and my husband would say it's being stubborn and unwilling to listen to his advice."

Royalty AU - To end a war for hel and makaria? // @spaceyechowrites​

“You know, your father was once my intended groom.”

She is not looking at the girl. There’s a falsehood to the entire exchange so long as Hel’s the only person in the room, a chance that this is still a dream. To see her bride is to realize that yes, Odin has absolutely ruined his prospects again. The thought weighs heavier than all the silver that adorns her, fingers shot through with the metal and crimson jewels. Her swan-like neck is swathed with pure silver, which weighs against her shoulders and clavicles where it all rests. Odin has even given her a small circlet, though her modifications have made it clear that she will not play the innocent and beguiling bride.

St. Elmo’s Fire circles the slender band, their infernal light glinting off of the rubies that hung fat from equally pure chains. That, more than the finery, indicated Hel’s status. Shifting such that the black velvet of her gown whispered against the stone floor, she watched a bird take to the sky through the window. Would that she could follow, or send the other woman chasing after it. Anything, so long as the two of them were not here having this exchange.

“He made it even into my realm, and dwelt there for a time under my roof. It got quite far, in terms of planning, between your uncle and mine. But Zeus stayed his hand -- though I’ve long suspected that your father made him do so, even if he will not shame me by admitting it -- and well...”

Here you are. Hel’s trying to avoid her reflection in the crystalline glass. The day is too pretty for such talk, and Freyja’s realm, though neutral, is ill-suited to such politics.

“All is well that ends well,” she sighs. “I am sure tempers will be assuaged once more before we reach the altar. You have nothing to fear with me, my lady. I do not presume to hold sway over you, nor do I suspect you will be my bride once all is said and done. Not anymore than your father became my man.”
