i will not interact w personal blogs or blogs w muns under the age of 18. i will not interact w muns who display homophobia, racism, misogyny, etc etc etc. t.rump supporters will be blocked on sight. tldr: be 18+, be a roleplay blog, don’t be a dick.
if you wish to unfollow me / break mutuals, please hard block me. this is the only way i know for certain that it wasn’t accidental on either side.
dni if you buy into the rhetoric that headcanoning male muses as queer = fetishizing queer men. this is harmful and homophobic. doesn’t matter which way you phrase it. if you were involved in chasing a friend of mine off of this site over this (and you know who you are), i don’t want to interact with you.
this blog is considered low activity. frequent ooc chatter will take place. if this bothers you, this isn’t the blog for you.
i do not utilize the queue. i post as i write. this means a bunch of posts may pop up at a time. if this bugs you, this isn’t the blog for you.
i use primarily small, colored font. if this is difficult for you to read, let me know and i’ll accomodate! i don’t mind how you format your replies.
in most verses, peeta is a minor. in no way will i explore nsfw content with him. romantic is fine, but anything more than that? i’m not comfortable with it. he is demisexual & demiromantic.
original characters with familial connections MUST be discussed with me beforehand. please don’t automatically assume a familial dynamic with peeta. it drives me crazy.
i don’t want to be involved in any dash drama. if i’m writing with someone who’s harmful to the community, let me know in dms. i won’t participate in callouts or vague posting. dni if you frequently engage in these practices.
i don’t hoard followers. if i follow you, it’s because i want to write with you. i’m a bit shy, so bear with me as i slowly kickstart interactions.
when you think abt “the garden” (my pinned song) as a peeta song it takes on a whole new meaning bc my man was LITERALLY tending to a garden in mockingjay’s epilogue
thinking about how peeta is strong, but he carries baby weight. it’s especially noticeable in his face. after he’s rescued from the capitol, it’s his face that looks the most jarring: cheeks that were once full reduced to nothing, vibrant eyes dulled and sunken in, dark circles beneath them. he’s a shell of the boy he once was when he’s rescued. if katniss finds the sight of him jarring, i can only imagine that he looks in the mirror and has no idea who’s staring back at him.
