Rules

  • MAIN! As mentioned before, this blog's main focus is on fantastical themes and multiple muses of mine comprised of primarily original characters. While there are multiple canons, they are mainly secondary in nature and this blog is not associated with any fandoms included in the portrayal. My interactions are selective & activity in general will be somewhat sporadic aka medium to low. I'm very OC, multimuse & crossover friendly so don't be afraid to hmu!

  • NSFW CONTENT. There will be some NSFW, dark and upsetting themes to pass in mention within character backstories or in references. Note that I engage with these topics with critical attitude and I will not engage in roleplay that actively invoke these themes for the sake of my comfort (and yours). Explicit sexual content will be uncommon and I will only be willing to write it if we discuss it first OOC. Any said explicit rp will be put under a cut and the NSFW tags used are tw: nsfw and nsfw /

  • INTERACTIONS. Aside from minors, personal blogs DNI. I do not practice reblog karma, but reblogging memes or other resources from its source would be appreciated so to not clog my notifs.

  • FOLLOWING. While this blog is mutual-exclusive, I sometimes practice following first because I'd like to search for potential new interactions. However, follow backs aren't always a guarantee and it's less likely I'll follow you back if: 1) I'm not familiar with your fandom/don't see any potential interactions between our muses, 2) Your blog doesn't have any info about your rules and alias, 3) Too much OOC drama and negativity over the blog, 4) You are a self insert blog, 5) Check BIG NO(s) below.

  • UNFOLLOWING. I'd usually unfollow if: 1) there's a 2-3 months period of inactivity, 2) I followed first but there is no mutual interest in following back, or 3) when I feel like our muses don't really click for a potential interaction. Likewise, you are free to softblock or hardblock if you want to break mutuals.

  • BIG NO(S). I do not tolerate racism/sexism/homophobia/transphobia/AI art usage, those are not welcome in my space. Apart of that, godmodding/metagaming is an obvious no. As for drama and callouts, I don't partake in it nor you should assume me knowing about whatever is happening in your social circles. We are all adults, so I'd always like to assess the situation within my own capacity firsthand.

  • SHIPPING. I like shipping and I'm always welcome for that, but it's not necessarily my primary focus in writing (more info). If our characters do click together, you are more than welcome to discuss with me about it. Most of my characters are multiship (to note, different ships happen in different timelines) and available for shipping based on character chemistry, though some exceptions do exist. Flirting with my characters are a-ok as a few of my own muses might even flirt first, but don't assume that it's an instant ship between the involved muses. Lastly, I usually apply exclusivity if I ship with a canon character - as in I will only ship with that singular interpretation done by the respective mun (but exceptions may apply).

  • REPLY PACING. As mentioned prior, my activity is sporadic as adulting and other hobbies often get into me. My pace is "I reply when I have the mood for it" pace aka I can reply in like 15 minutes in one sitting after you post or it'll take up a few days or weeks... With that said, practice patience with me & please don't feel obliged to match my pace! I also occasionally drop and it's fine as well for you to do so. I'm always open for reviving if needed c:

  • IC =/=OOC. In character does not equal out of character, aka my characters do not represent me as a person. If you have a problem with me, do come and settle directly it like adults instead of vague blogging.

  • IMPORTANT! My depiction of canon characters is generally compliant to what canon offers to some extent, but the degree of divergency and headcanon influence may vary to each characters. Moreso, please don't ask me to rp solely with my male muses but ignoring the overall existence of my female muses (who I primarily showcase here). It leaves a really bad taste in my mouth when people do that.

  • TAGGING(S). I tag spoilers from ongoing content and put them under a cut within the 2-weeks rule post-release. Trigger warning will be tagged as tw: trigger. While I always tag standard trigger warnings, please DM if you need anything tagged.

  • DISCLAIMER'S NOTE. All depictions portrayed here are strictly fictional and resemblance to real people are purely coincidental. Portrayal elements alluding to mythos, history, and folklore are researched and curated from various sources. Discord is available for mutuals to add.
