Hi, hello. Welcome to this ehhhhhh mostly active rp blog for this here indie OC. You may call me Rake, she/her pronouns. Am 24+ Semi-selective, all that jazz. Rules and about are under /rules, /about and /navi. Hmu if you need anymore info.
I am not sure how to start this message, aside from hello Rake. I will understand if you choose to ignore this message. But long time, no talk. I hadn’t realise it would be a decade plus since we talked.
I’m Wolf (I used to be known as Lotta back in the day.) I no longer have access to Brechen’s blogs and haven’t for a long time, but recently came back to Tumblr in the Baldur’s Gate 3 and Arcane fandoms. I sincerely apologise if I was ever an arsehole back then.
How have you been?
Hey Wolf,
I'm well, we're all good. I don't recall you being difficult to deal with. Can't say i'm familiar with either of the fandoms apart from the bits and peices i've seen on here. i'm very out of touch with the rp and fandom community on here, partially because i work a stupid amount of hours and partially because tumblr is quite different from when you and I were writing back in the day.
Probably the only consistent thing is that I've still kept the same character after all of these years haha. As you can see I haven't really been writing much recently - mostly from work but also because all my og writing partners have moved on from tumblr for various reasons. Which is fine.
How have you been? What have you been up to?
Inspired from this prompt.
He’s watching her, arms in a lose fold as she paces around the room. She always had a thing for gesturing wildly - like an old man telling a story. The only disconcerting thing however, was the combination red and black cowboy outfit she had on.
If there was one thing (actually many things that he’d never admit) it was that Red, respected his partner-in-crime for her simple, brutal, love of the game.
Bolest shoots finger guns at her victim, cocking a leg up and firing through while she explained ‘torture science’. He had been kept up many a night with her endless chatter. Ranging from ‘The CIA is full of shit - that would never work.’ To ‘I might be drunk but the Brazen Bull was the best invention to come out of the Roman Empire. I should know, I invented it.’
No idea what she meant by that - probably some by product of her blatant narcissist personality disorder.
The so called torture dungeon she was now referring too was not much more than a sterile white room. Cleaning blood is such a bore, Red. Yes I know we hire people to do it now - No that’s not the point, it’s all about the vibe. He couldn’t remember what show she had been watching at the time but Red was certain it was medical related.
His eyes drifted off her, briefly onto their blindfolded victim and then towards the ceiling. He could feel the hammering in his skull as the fluorescents pierced his eyes. Thank god for the sunglasses she had made him wear.
Bolest had insisted they wear matching round lenses ones. The others must think something was going on between them - something absolutely was. But that wasn’t the point. “STRAP HIM TO THE RACK BOYS!” Jolting back to reality, his gaze met with his expectant partner who looked more and more impatient with each passing second. “Ah yeah…” Came his thick Russian accent, as he looked behind him, clicking his fingers at two masked individuals, now rushing to roll in an authentic medieval stretching rack.
okay but "the symbolism is Real and Trying to Kill You" is my favorite kind of symbolism
like yeah the monster is a representation of your unresolved trauma and guilt and a manifestation of the sins of your past but it's also a real creature and it's going to fucking Get you

"I told you to listening to me! Why didn't you listen?"
"There will be plenty of time for amazement later. Right now, I urgently need facts."
"I am old enough to make my own decisions, whether you are ready to accept that or not!"
"Are you just going to stare at me like I'm some kind of space alien?"
"You're going to get drunk again, are you?"
"I'd love to learn anything that you'd want to teach me."
"I'm not too fond of shooting. My preference is to blow things up."
PROMPTS FROM THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY * assorted dialogue from part 1 (2014) and part 2 (2015), adjust as necessary
it is the things we love most that destroy us.
do you have any other conditions?
if we burn... you burn with us.
do you see that?
you know, i like you better without all the makeup.
i like you better sober.
i never wanted any of this.
i want everyone who is watching to lay down their weapons.
everyone's either gonna wanna kiss you, kill you, or be you.
they're coming, [name]. they're gonna kill everyone.
are you fighting, [name]? you here to fight with us?
i'm in pain. that's the only way i can get your attention.
they let us go.
you did it, [name]. you showed them.
he's not even afraid of us.
it's almost not fair.
hello, [name]. this how you greet an old friend?
maybe i don't recognize you sober.
i drag myself out of nightmares and there's no relief in waking up.
it takes ten times longer to put yourself back together than it does to fall apart.
we can't guarantee her safety.
i want to go.
and if you're killed?
make sure you get it on camera.
no, no, listen to me. no one else can do this.
we need to make it personal.
that's not the issue.
this is the only choice you have.
we will make you the best dressed rebel in history.
this is where you kissed me.
i didn't think you remembered that.
i would have to be dead to forget that.
i thought she went to find you.
there's no one on the stairs.
you know everything old can be made new again.
isn't that what i promised you?
did you have a nightmare? i have nightmares, too.
someday i'll explain it to you.
i'll tell you how i survive it.
i make a list in my head of all the good things i've seen someone do. every little thing i can remember.
it's like a game. i do it over and over.
there are much worse games to play.
you love me. real or not real?
stay with me.
what do all those deaths mean?
we all have one enemy.
stop killing for him.
promise me you'll find it.
we're very familiar with each other's screams.
you really think i gave the order?
i've been watching you. and you watching me.
i'm afraid we've both been played for fools.
i don't believe you.
i thought we'd agreed never to lie to each other.
may your aim be true as your heart is pure.
your favorite color is green. is that real?
now you're talking.
i wish he'd hurry up with the last part.
you're still trying to protect me. real or not real?
that's what you and i do. keep each other alive.
i know you.
i'm here to kill him.
the bullet didn't even touch you.
what are your injuries?
nobody likes me.
they're afraid of you.
i, of all people, know that it's always personal.
i guess there are no rules anymore about what a person can do to another person.
give me one reason why i shouldn't shoot you.
bury them alive.
there's gotta be a better way.
