Indie OC multi-muse blog. Everyone is 21+. Icon art by Nighshadeclan Est. November 9, 2013

[bucketfullofocs]

[Hey there, have a dumb promo! Do you like OCs? Do you like someone who has OCs with way too much backstory? 

Do you like One Piece, Fallout, Doctor Who, Women of Xal, Dragon Age, or Detriot: Become Human? If so then I probably have an OC for you!

Like 7+ years Tumblr RP experience

Everyone, muses and mun, are 21+

Highly Selective, Private, Semi-Exclusive

Slow AF

Mun is way too meme-y

@qanxbagi || Let me know if this doesn’t work, or you need more to work with!

Another land, another city. Another place they didn’t belong. It was normal now, and a routine they had become accustomed to all too quickly. Daniel was holed up in a rented room - poor guy always stood out, no matter where they were. Pink skin and pointed ears tended to do that. 

This left Jen, half-blind but made of sheer determination, to find work. Thankfully, the clip-on sunglasses onto her real glasses obscured this fact, and she was so used to her diminished sight that almost no one could tell she was half-blind in the first place.

Walking along the sidewalk, Jen took her time look at the storefronts. Really, it was a typical town with typical stores, nothing special. Still, she had already asked at a few places and none were hiring, so with a huff she turned and began to walk again.

Only to run right into someone. Which wasn’t surprising, really. The person had been on her blind side - if she could see, she would have been very easily seen him and avoided this whole thing. Still, she frowned and her eyes narrowed behind her glasses. “Hey man, watch where you’re fuckin’ goin’!” Ah yes, crass as ever. Really, if Daniel had been here, he’d be chastising her for her rude reaction.

[\o/ FRIENDSHIP

Did you have a particular muse in mind? Because I think Abby and Sarah might like Zack, but Jen (and maybe Daniel?) would like Iwel. Or at least Jen probably would.]

/ I saw some HARMLESS photos of Mo’s fc get FLAGGED and I am taking it PERSONALLY that Tumblr is thinking big boobs are inherently sexual and, you know, just hatin’ women’s bodies.

[The bot has no idea what it’s doing, tbh. It likes to flag this particular image of Haruhi:

So I mean it’s full on useless.

And also #Mood. Screw that ‘female-presenting nipples’ bs. Only thing that’s good for is being on a Cards Against Humanity card.]

♡ sparrow’s recommended resources

Hi, everyone. Here’s a roundup of tools and other resources I use when writing, plus a few more complementary recommendations. I thought my mutuals might appreciate these! Feel free to bookmark or reblog this post.

on the laptop

Grammarly → A grammar checker that works in real time, available as an extension for Chrome. While you draft or use an online editor, Grammarly reads your text and searches for grammar mistakes. Just look at the bottom left corner of your workspace and check the Grammarly bubble. If no typos are found, it stays green. If there are mistakes, it becomes red. Clicking on this bubble directs you to extra features available in premium, but Grammarly underlines in red words it cannot comprehend so you can spot typos with ease. It cannot tell context, so it might point out things that are not mistakes, but since I use it, I don’t have to spend so much time revising what I write and that’s a fact.

Noisli  → A distraction-free writing environment that includes a pomodoro technique extension for Chrome. On the website, you can create combos of natural sounds and control their intensity; on the extension, you can set a timer to your combos. To me, the one con with this editor has to do with the colourful background. It’s in constant change, moving to the next colour in a fade that can be paused, but which is still tiring to the eyes. However, Noisli compensates with a great pro my former editor didn’t have — it performs auto-saves, meaning you won’t lose your writing even if your computer (or the draft saving) has a mishap. You can even log off for the day and continue working on your text the next.

Post archiver, part of the New XKit → I’ve started using this extension in XKit just now but already couldn’t be happier it exists. Once you refresh, you can save posts directly from the dash to an archive where you can even keep posts categorised. For rp purposes, it seems to me this is a better alternative to using likes for bookmarking or cluttering your drafts with the same purpose in mind. This way, you can have a fictional location for all those posts you haven’t gotten to yet.

SessionBox → An essential Chrome extension if, like me, you have several accounts to switch between. Instead of having to log out/login every time, you can store your login data in different sessions and open them from the extension button. Meaning? You can open multiple dashboards at the same time and navigate between them as tabs. Fair warning, though — unless you want to pay for the premium version, keep a backup of your data elsewhere. It has happened to me a couple of times, opening Chrome after a bad shut down, and finding my SessionBox data lost! Only premium users can easily recover their data. But this is still a great extension!

Stylish + UserStyles → A library of CSS that overrides the official choices from a number of websites. I use it exclusively for Tumblr and started out with this light theme, which makes scrolling the blue bearable. Recently, I made this one overlap with it. Lastly, because I, as a graphic-maker, also suffered with the sizing changes Tumblr made a couple of years ago, I also use this style to restore things to their glorious normality.

Word Counter Plus → An extension for Chrome that provides you with some helpful stats if you like to control how much you write. Highlight the text you want to check, right-click it and choose the extension for word count, character count, average word length and longest word length. (Mine’s 17. Gotta learn bigger words!)

on the go

Monospace → A clean writing editor for your phone/tablet. Rather than folders, Monospace uses a hashtag system to organise your drabbles. These can be nested, too, meaning you can categorise in different ways. With the free version, you can choose between a dark and a light theme and export your text as plain or markdown to other apps. With the pro version, you can also synchronise with Drive. I use the pro version but honestly, little is gained from it, as you can still format your text in the free version and bypass the synch by going the long export route.

MultipleAccounts → An app that allows you to open a secondary login to an app you have installed. In other words, you can the official app with one account and emulate it with MultipleAccounts to use another one at the same time. The success of this app depends on what app you wish to emulate but Tumblr’s given me no trouble yet. This parallel account takes a couple of seconds to load but a worse con is the fact notifications might get delayed or not work (when compared to the official Tumblr app). Still a nicer way to browse another dash than using the browser.

Tide → A mindfulness app that includes a background natural sounds inserted in a pomodoro technique. I’m a fan of these productivity tools, in case you haven’t noticed.

other utilities

Export Layers to Files → A Photoshop script that saves layers as files for you, faster and with more quality than the inbuilt option. It’s the fastest way to save icons! I used it only a couple of times, so I don’t remember how, but there’s a way for you to save your icons with a colouring instead of them being plain.

OneTab → An extension for Chrome (and Firefox) that keeps a multitude of tabs a click away. It’s even more useful if you find yourself opening the same websites every time you start your browser. Open your websites of always and hit the extension button. The tabs will be stored in a list which can be restored individually or at once. This list can be locked so you can restore the same list every day! Several lists can be stored and locked, which is useful if you’re in the process of doing some extensive research to help in your writing.

Pocket → Pocket’s available for both the desktop and mobile, which is why it appears in this section of the list. As the name suggests, it works as a virtual folder (or pocket) where you store articles, thought for those who want to read previously saved news on the go. Articles you save to pocket can be tagged, recommended or archived and appear in a standardised way. I use mine to store scientific articles rather than as a companion to writing, but it can be used as a library for topics you’re working on. It includes an extension so you can easily add a wepage to your Pocket.

RPThreadTracker → Everyone already knows and uses this tool but I couldn’t leave it out. I admit I do not rely on it as much as my friends do because I prefer to keep a manual track of the replies or starters I owe but this is a personal preference that doesn’t take any merit off the RPThreadTracker. The name is pretty much self-explanatory. In an environment similar to a WP dashboard, you can curate a list of rp threads, quickly see if there are new replies from your partners and more.

11. Do they have any vices?

50 “Not so Nice” OC or FR Asks || @sxlverswan

[Abby is pretty hedonistic in nature. Her biggest ‘vice’ would probably be sex, though. If she were a sin, it would be lust.

Sarah, her vices mostly revolve around food - sweets, cakes, etc. and excess of luxury items like bath stuff, or super-soft blankets, etc. She’s a person of excess. Sarah would be gluttony.

For Jen, her vice is probably drinking mainly? She isn’t allowed to drink, though, because she almost always tries to hurt herself when she does. Unrelated to her vices, she would probably be wrath.

For Daniel, I’m actually not entirely sure. Out of the group, he’s the one with the least amount of vices, and that’s partly because the one thing I would consider a vice for him - sex - is something he needs to live due to his nature as a vampire that feeds on lust. But he’d probably be sloth if he were a sin, so?]

[Apparently you can fix the “my posts are out of order on my blog” issue by going through to each post that’s out of order, hitting edit, then saving the post anew. Which is what I’m doing, but if you’ve got a lot of pages out of order... that’s gonna take a while.]
