i want to write relationships that are complicated.
i want to write the on-again-off-again relationships. i want the screaming matches and the cancelled dates and the hurt feelings and the second guesses and second chances.
i want to write people who completely shake up each other’s daily routine and flip their entire world on its axis. i want them to drive each other crazy and question why they bother sticking around and then remember the way their partner laughs or see them in a moment of vulnerability that tells them ‘this is is why i stay. this is why i love you.‘
i want to write relationships with struggles. with class differences and financial divide. two people who are so completely different they somehow complete each other. i want the jealousy and the feelings of inadequacy that goes with it.
i want to write people who aren’t afraid to be honest with their partner. who aren’t afraid to say ‘yeah you’re being an asshole’ followed by ‘but i still love you, you idiot.’
i want the first time they see their partner cry and the morning after their first intimate night when everything feels so right.
i want people who get so used to one another that they stop going the extra mile. i want the ‘you don’t make the effort because you already have me’ argument.
i want relationships that challenge each other to be better people and make each other question their beliefs and moral compass.
but most of all, i want to write relationships that are real. that make you feel something. i want to go on the emotional rollercoaster right along with them.
this should be a universal courtesy with all muns. if you follow someone, you NEED TO READ THEIR RULES! maybe they’ll only follow back if you give them a PASSWORD. maybe there’s important INFORMATION on how they play their muse or run their blog. maybe they’re exclusive, or private, or selective. maybe they have rules specially for FOLLOWERS. and reading someone’s rules is especially crucial if you are mutuals with them; you are SHOOTING YOURSELF IN THE FOOT by not doing so, because you may end up breaking a rule and losing a potentially great partnership because of it.
by reading someone’s rules, you’re telling them:
“i respect you enough to see if you have any triggers or concerns.”
“i care enough about you to check out your pages instead of just following.”
“i want to see if we’d be a good fit to roleplay together.”
“you are worth more than the time it takes to click ‘FOLLOW’.”
in contrast, by NOT reading someone’s rules, you’re telling them:
“i don’t care if you have any triggers or concerns.”
“i know you may have read MY rules, but i won’t bother to read yours.”
“i don’t want to roleplay with you that much.”
of course, there are many muns who have very LAID-BACK rules pages. and some muns might not really care if you don’t read their rules. but there are MANY muns who have special requests and put them in their rules pages. MANY muns get invested in their partners, and excited to write with them, and need you to meet them halfway. this starts with reading their rules.
bottom line?
IF YOU DON’T READ THE RULES, YOU ARE NOT RESPECTING THE MUN.
i’d just like to state that i’m much more likely to reply faster to threads with people that i speak with ooc. this isn’t because i don’t want to write with you, or because i don’t like our threads as much. it’s just that talking to people on a regular basis gives me a lot of inspiration, especially if we’ve been discussing our characters’ relationship, or other potential plotlines. so if you’re wondering where your thread is, i can promise i’m not ignoring you. i just want you to understand how my creative process works most of the time.
i. please don't take anything from this blog. that includes my icons, my theme (the theme bg was created by the wonderful cici, other credits can be found in the hover tab) or my writing. i'll know if you did, and i won't hesitate to confront you about it. copying is one of the worst things you could do to me, if i'm being honest. so don't do it.
ii. this blog is heavily selective. i’ll only roleplay with mutuals for the time being, and i’ll only follow you back if i’m familiar with your character or can see our characters interacting in any way. i promise it’s nothing personal.
iii. i’m only sixteen, so no smut will be happening whatsoever. shipping isn't something i'm to keen on anyway when it comes to roleplay, unless i'm really comfortable with the other mun. if ships do happen, they will arise based on chemistry and lots of interaction.
iv. i can be very selective when it comes to replies. there may be days where i can chunder out a million replies a second, but there'll also be days where i can only do one or two small things. if its been a while since i've answered your thread, assume it's saved in my drafts and that i'll get to it as soon as i have the muse for it. if it has been over two weeks, however, please come to me about it because chances are i've either forgotten about it or lost it. it's NEVER anything personal.
