‘S Been a Good Run

Hello, people! Buttmun here! And I am here, after weeks/months of disappearing, coming with a bad(ish) news and I’ll cut straight to the point so I don’t make this post too long—because this post IS meant to be long and with no read mores.

I am retiring from doing any sort of roleplaying on Tumblr.

Why, some of you might ask. Do you ever feel like the creative side of your brain is, like, partying and making babies (aka ideas), but the systematic side of your brain—the side of your brain that moves your limbs into action—is like ‘blargh’? Yeah, that’s what I’ve been experiencing these past few months.

I still have petabytes worth of ideas and headcanons, which I will still be producing because my headcanons blog is connected to my personal, but it’s just so tremendously difficult to bring myself to do roleplays and enjoying it. My recent plot-heavy threads suffered from this loss and I made it difficult for my partners to progress because they were waiting for me to reply—which I never did. So I thought it would be best for both me and my partners if I just step back, clearly I no longer feel joy in roleplaying as I did 2 years ago.

People who know me from Dreadwing and Skyquake would have known that I have been here quite a while, saw and experienced my fair share of drama, ic or ooc, but people who only started knowing me from Grimlock might be in for a big shock. I know, it’s really a shame that I have to leave when my Grimlock has only been around for 2-3 months. I love roleplaying the big lug, I still have HEAPS of ideas to develop him as a character, but I just can’t bring myself to apply them through my RP blog anymore.

I love every single thread I made in all of my blogs, which is why I am NOT deleting these blogs. These blogs are staying. I still need them for archiving and sentimental purposes. And, who knows, maybe I someday I’ll rekindle my passion with roleplaying?

This sounds too much like a goodbye letter, but really, I am still very active on tumblr, just not roleplaying anymore. Anyone who’s interested in talking with me can hit me up on my personal. I’m always there. But anyways, thank you so much for the great adventures in RP-ing! I’ve had an awesome 2-year-run and I will never forget it!

//does anybody know a big and muscular East Asian man i can make a face claim for Skyquake?? (not that i will use it anyway, since i dun really like human AUs unless it’s fantasy setting---like a werewolf AU i once did)

East Asian because language claim for Altihexian has changed from Doric to Mandarin. either fictional or non-fictional people is fine.

Skyquake appreciation post!

[theconwiththegrr-blog]

"Skyquake, do you like Overlord?"

“I thought it is established that my feelings for him is more than just a simple like.”

[ask-overlord-phasesixer]

“Nevermind the scent marking. I’ve come to the conclusion that it does not help to keep other phase-sixers away.”

[theconwiththegrr-blog]

“I--- Something happened while I was gone, didn’t it? I sure miss out a lot lately.”

[one-shall-rule]

"Starscream! Look at me! All healthy again!"

Starscream’s spark lurched up into his throat briefly, startled.

“Does Dreadwing know you’re up and about?”

He still carefully kept a good bubble of distance between the green seeker an himself.

[one-shall-rule]

Starscream didn’t. He didn’t want to. But he also didn’t talk. What would he say? He just waited and watched.

[theconwiththegrr-blog]

Skyquake waited…and waited…and he didn’t hear the peregrine’s ped-steps. He took a little glance over his shoulder and found that Starscream had not moved a muscle. His wings folded behind his back and plating on his shoulders drooped.

“I thought you want to avoid me.”

[theconwiththegrr-blog]

ask-overlord-phasesixer replied to your post “"Skyquake, I need to mark you with my scent."”

"What?- No. Nothing like that.."

“Then what do you mean by ‘marking me with your scent’? What happened or what did you do that you feel the need to claim me?”

[theconwiththegrr-blog]

"Skyquake, I need to mark you with my scent."

“What–you don’t mean to shower me in your liquid waste, now do you?”

[theconwiththegrr-blog]

Ooooooooooh cabbage

“Oh no...”

[one-shall-rule]

"Starscream! Look at me! All healthy again!"

Starscream’s spark lurched up into his throat briefly, startled.

“Does Dreadwing know you’re up and about?”

He still carefully kept a good bubble of distance between the green seeker an himself.

[one-shall-rule]

Starscream was quiet for several moments. As if testing to see whether he would come closer. Finally he swallowed and glanced up to meet Skyquake’s optics briefly before looking away.

“It’s too risky..” He muttered, glancing toward his escape route. His wings would have fluttered lower if not for the wall.

[theconwiththegrr-blog]

Skyquake placed his palm over one of his optics and his forehelm, sighing heavily. This was a step back for all his efforts. He didn’t want to be so fiercely avoided by him anymore, but that stupid magic drove everything one hundred steps backward.

His wings hung limply as he dropped his servo to his side, turning around, his back strut now facing Starscream. “Go. I will not stop you.”

People were confused how a Chinese couple managed to run a busy restaurant 21 hours a day without getting tired. Turns out the restaurant is run by two couples, both the men and women are identical twins! 

Locals had nicknamed the eatery the “robot couple restaurant” as they couldn’t understand how the same couple seemed to be on duty from 6am through to 3am. However, a journalist from Today Morning Post interviewed the restaurant owner and found out the truth. It turned out that the twin brothers, 32, married a set of twin sisters from the same township three years ago and moved to Yiwu to run the restaurant together. (Source)

Drinks on Me [closed w/ alwayscommander]

[one-shall-rule]

The smaller seeker was enraptured by all the colors and shapes. He scrolled to the next set of selections. Skyquake’s constant voice mixed with the background chaos for a moment, until he apologized.

He looked up for a second,

“Lots to see..” He muttered distractedly

Viewing page 2 of 18

He’d be here all night just deciding. He could smell others drinks. It made glossa impatient. After another minute he just tapped a light turquoise one with fluorescent yellow flecks- it almost looked shimmering golden. He didn’t choose it for the colors though, but they did look marvelous. He chose it for low potency it claimed. He wasn’t exactly the longest lasting drinker, but Skyquake didn’t need to know that.

The tab numbers went up and his wings bounced once.

“Do you know them?”

[theconwiththegrr-blog]

Skyquake watched the other Seeker, mesmerized by the types of drinks and indecisive, all while not looking like he was staring inappropriately at him. He diverted his gaze to the other tables or to the dance floor. He noticed Starscream finally chose his drink and the bartender he had been looking at immediately worked to fill that order.

“I do,” he answered, giving another glance to the busy mech. “She’s a friend of mine and in fact, she told me about this place. Actually, more like promoted this place. It’s hers after all.”

The aquilus leaned forward, both arms on the table. “I’m still quite surprised I managed to invite you here.” Delighted was more like it, but Skyquake wouldn’t say that. Starscream was still quite reserved, but he had seen--and felt--the wall chipping thinner and thinner. To have succeeded in taking him out was a major accomplishment for him.

Have you ever wanted to have angry sex?

“I already had my fair share of angry sex. I think my first interface with Overlord was sort of...angry. Or more like spiteful, if anything. That stupid tease...

“But do I want to have angry sex? Yes, I would love to. As long as I don’t hate the other mech. Being angry does not mean I hate, after all.”

[theconwiththegrr-blog]

─=≡Σᕕ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ᕗ

“What does that even supposed to mean? What are you running away from?”

[theconwiththegrr-blog]

Do you like booooooooobs?

“This is new… I am honestly confused as to how to answer this… 

“But, uh, I like Giga and Mega most especially.”

[ask-overlord-phasesixer]

He wasn’t expecting Skyquake to be so bold as to squeeze his breast-plate. Certainly surprising behavior coming from the Seeker.

“I find it funny that my pectorals are a window into my emotional state. Swelling must be a good indication that I am happy.”

[theconwiththegrr-blog]

“You don’t have visible wings or twitchy audials or antennae like me. I need to look somewhere for visual cues. At least I was right to guess that you’re happy, not that it’s hard to tell, anyway.”

[theconwiththegrr-blog]

Would you ever consider dating a human?

“Just dating, right? Nothing beyond that line? Because I’m fine with that.”

[theconwiththegrr-blog]

"Just a movie goer?"

“Yes, I like hearing and seeing the story at the same time. Occasionally stage drama too, but only if they aren’t the, uh, classy, poetic kind of stuff.”
