rules:
01. first of all, hi! my name is tay and i'm 26 from canada, in the EST timezone. i go by she/they pronouns. i'm always down to plot or just chat and make friends with mutuals! tumblr messaging is okay and my discord is also available upon request!
02. the general rules apply here, the same things you've read in everyone else's rules a hundred times. don't be an asshole, don't try to cause drama, and the typical roleplaying etiquette (no godmodding, no harassing for replies, no forcing ships, etc.)
03. due to the nature of the characters i write and the canon material they come from, there will be mature themes on this blog. these include war and the horrors that come along with it, abuse, childhood trauma, all sorts of death and gore, and some potential horror elements. when it comes to nsfw content, i am not opposed to writing it with partners i am familiar with! (aka we have written and/or spoken out of character a significant amount.) I will not write things pertaining to incest or sexual assault. if these are part of your character's backstory, I don't mind provided it is not sexualized. however, if you actively write these sorts of scenes, please do not follow me.
04. i am open to shipping! i love shipping! I am happy to explore ships with canon, crossover, and original characters alike! I do have my preferences for canon ones, but I can certainly be convinced. HOWEVER, lan wangji will only be shipped with wei wuxian on this blog. sorry to be basic but i just simply cannot see him loving anyone else.
05. I am not particularly interested in short, one-liner type threads. I do not mind them from time to time but I will almost always prefer multi-para threads. I just find it easier to flesh out ideas that way, bc I tend to ramble. also, I will match your formatting style for the most part just so things look cohesive. if you use icons, i'll use icons, if you use 2D icons i'll use 2D icons vs live action, etc..
06. ask memes are a great way to break the ice if we haven't interacted before. you are more than welcome to go through my tag and send me one, even if its been a while since i've reblogged it. if I write a reply to an ask you've sent and you like it, you don't have to ask to continue an ask into a thread! I pretty much write every response as if it's a starter anyways, so if it speaks to you, go ahead and continue it!
07. I love love love AU's of all kinds. If you have an idea for one, or want to interact with my characters but aren't sure how they would fit, please come talk to me about it! I adore OC's!!! all my muses have modern verses as well and i'm happy to write in them. If you write in other genres (particularly wuxia or xuanhuan) I am also happy to adapt my characters a bit to fit those settings, though I may require a bit of guidance!
08. please feel free to remind me about threads/anything I owe you! I am extremely forgetful and while I try my hardest to be organized, things always manage to slip through. I very much appreciate a little poke! generally if i want to drop a thread altogether I will tell you straight up.
09. I am not Chinese, nor would I consider myself an expert on the xianxia genre. If I make mistakes, please feel free to let me know! I appreciate it greatly! I am doing my best and I'm always happy to fill in gaps in my knowledge.
