Remember when I just turned around, pointed a gun at your face and shot that Fearling fucker over your shoulder, giving you a tinnitus for two days? That was the bird spotting the Fearling, not me suddenly growing eyes in the back o’ my head. It was the bird who found Winters and his wounded unit in the woods, not me. By all means, do pluck and cook it - but only after I’ve kicked the bucket, please.

An’ besides… always thought that title of ‘biggest pain in the ass’ was reserved for me.”

fadical:

when an artist wants to show you their art

or a writer wants you to read what they’ve written

it’s quite often an expression of trust

because a poem or a story or a painting are often things that come from the heart

little pieces of the artists themselves

and if they’re willing to share it with you

you should appreciate it

Some of you may have noticed that I haven’t been very active lately. There are several reasons for it, and while I don’t really feel guilty that I’m not replying to threads anymore (nobody ever should, it should always be fun and not feel like a duty), I still feel that I shouldn’t just disappear without further notice.

There are a few things that have bothered me lately. Not to the point where I got angry or anything, but to the point where it took the fun out of even refreshing my dash.

First of all, I’m not a fan of this whole Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons stuff. To this day, I haven’t watched HTTYD, not because I don’t like it - because honestly, hating a movie you have never watched is utterly stupid - just because I haven’t had the chance yet. And the whole topic seems to be okay, but it just doesn’t interest me that much. I may watch the movie at some point, and I may like it… but I still will not understand what’s so great about crossing all Dreamworks movies and pairing the characters like they live in the same world. To me, this is like pairing (and shipping) Darth Vader and Mister Spock. Or Gandalf and Dumbledore. I just don’t see the point, especially since I have never once read a really good explanation on how they end up in the same world/time/whatever. But then again, I never actively looked for fics or RPs.

Now don’t get me wrong - you can ship whatever you want, but I’m just not a fan of it. And since most people in the RotG fandom seem to be shipping it, there are of course lots of posts about it. I don’t mind them, they just get mildly annoying if tons of RotBTD gifs take up about 80% of my dash. And I don’t really want to unfollow anyone just posting that stuff, because I know I sometimes reblog completely unrelated stuff as well.

Talking about ships… I do play an OC myself, but ever since I created him, I have felt like it would be an audacity to just write any kind of connection to the canon characters in his background story. Of course, he’s in the Golden Army, so he did always have a connection to Kozmotis (no matter how little), but… well. I’ve seen a lot of OCs who have a background story like “best and only friend of Pitch, brother of Jack, lover of Kozmotis, husband of Jamie” and similar. I’m not going to call them Mary-Sues, but they are at least very close to what I think is a Mary-Sue. I absolutely don’t mind if a RP consists of OC and canon character getting together and making out, but already writing them to be together, either sexually or just in a friendship kind of way is just… it makes me really uncomfortable around these characters. I rarely RP with them, because I know there will always be certain expectations, expectations I am rarely willing to meet. I feel forced when RPing with these characters. I feel like I hurt their muns whenever I don’t meet these (often very obvious) expectations.

Which brings me to the next thing that’s been bothering me, but that’s something that’ll always happen when people RP: Not being able to distinguish between IC and OOC. I have experienced extreme cases of this (“I will kill myself if your character leaves mine!” etc.), and if I notice that someone does indeed take something too personally that happens to their character, it’s a reason for me to instantly unfollow them and stay the fuck away. I don’t mean being sad when your character experienced something sad, or being happy when your character is happy, that’s perfectly fine and it happens to all of us. But being depressed or even suicidal if your character doesn’t get what you want him to, that’s highly dangerous. Trying to find a relationship for your character because you yourself, as a mun, feel lonely, that’s even more dangerous. And I’ve seen it happen quite often on Tumblr. I’m not here to tell people what to do with their lives, but I know I will stay the hell away from these people RP wise.

Last but not least, I feel old whenever I’m on here, and I feel like I don’t belong anymore. People on Tumblr seem to be around 12-18 years old - which is not bad, not at all - but everything on here seems to be so… short lived. To me, it feels like most people put very little effort into their characters, even less if they’re canon characters and everyone already knows them anyway, and their RPs are just as short lived. And when a new movie/book/series comes out, they are gone from their old fandom in an instant. Just to compare this to the kind of RP I do: My oldest character, an OC, is currently 17 years old - meaning he has existed for 17 years, not that he’s a 17 year old boy. I don’t really RP him anymore, at least not at the moment, but he has quite a story. I love RP with plot and character development and similar, but lately, most of the stuff I’ve been reading on my dash is just quick smut, not more than 3-4 lines most of the time. I don’t mind smut, but it gets incredibly boring when it is the only thing happening. I want to RP an action movie, where sex can happen, but it’s not mandatory. Not a porn movie. Yes, relationships are interesting to RP, but they are not the only interesting thing to RP.

I can be quite a crazy person to say the least when I get comfortable around someone, but the whole OMFFGFGFGGG I sHIP IT SO HaRD OFMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111111 stuff just isn’t my style. Maybe I really am too old for Tumblr. I believe I am generation 4chan and Reddit, and we’re old. Too old for some things, it seems.

Anyway. Sorry about the long rant. Sorry about the threads I will possibly never reply to anymore. I don’t know yet if I’ll stay or not, I can’t promise anything. If not - thanks for all the inspiration and the good times, because most of the time, I’ve had a blast on Tumblr.

Prompt-Event Over!
So here is the promissed puppet compilation (the single uploads will be deleted now)! THANK YOU ONCE MORE FOR ALL YOUR WONDERFUL PROMPTS!!!

I will deal with the next Chapter of “Things That” first, and after that I will come to my ask box.

And since I liked all your beautiful ideas I might actually do more then three sketches. I plan on at least trying to answer everything you sent me. No promisses that it will work, but I will try =) There were just so many awesome ideas man, so many!

Also, I am really flattered that so many people actually liked the puppets so much (and even requested things). I think I will draw some small puppet plays from time to time with them.

I love you!

PS: Gonna stream tomorrow or the day after!!

A Gentleman’s Guide to Roleplaying - Mutiverses, Multishipping and general Roleplaying etiquette.

caerofthemark:

Just a note on a few things that are handy to remember when roleplaying.

• *Common Courtesy* - Read peoples bios/abouts/rules - Players write these for a reason, and will usually spend a lot of time on doing so as these will often hold key information about the person you are roleplaying with, including whether or not they roleplay NSFW (and particularly if they do not RP adult situations with under 18s.)
• Respect main!verses and main!verse relationships, whether they are canon or not - Many multiverse muses will still have a main!verse timeline that they will adhere to as canon for them outside of a thread. If you are roleplaying with someone who has a main!verse that does not include you, please respect those involved in that main!verse and understand that it has no effect on the verse your storyline takes place in, unless already discussed and agreed on.
• Read Headcanons and respect them - Again, players often have a page where they keep their headcanons for their muses. Read them. They will give you very important information about the muse, their history, likes/dislikes, etc.
• It is fine to send reminders to your partners about replies - Most people are appreciative for a gentle nudge, because at some point we all lose track of a thread, miss a reply, etc.
  
• If a muse is multiverse/multiship, respects those verses/ships - Generally, most muses are multivers/ship (Again, check bios) - This means that all relationships/storyline take place in separate universes, and unless specifically stated in a story arc, nobody is cheating/being cheated on.
• It is ok to feel jealousy towards other players. It is NOT ok to act on it. - It happens to all of us. We find a partner we really like to thread with, for whatever reason, and sometimes we feel a little left out if they become involved in a thread with someone else, particularly if you feel like they respond to theirs more than yours. This is natural. However, it is NOT ok to bombard your partner with messages demanding attention, or to send hate (anon or otherwise) to their other partner.
• Ask before you ship - If you have an interest in shipping your muse with someone elses, check with them first that they are ok with it. Nobody enjoys force-shipping and it just makes people uncomfortable.
• Don’t try to change someone else’s characterization of their muse - They wrote them that way for a reason. It is not up to you to get them to change to suit your own needs/wants. If you don’t like the way they play them, don’t play with them, or make your own version.
• Nobody owns anyone else’s muse - Not even in scenarios involving memes/Magic!Anons. All players retain the right to do as they damn well please without being made to feel bad about it by anyone else. Clingy partners are no fun for anyone.
• It’s ok to step back and take a break - You don’t need a reason to take a hiatus, and you don’t need to justify it to anyone else. Everyone burns out and/or loses their muse at some point, or real life just gets in the way for a while. Nobody should be made guilty for taking a break. EVER.
• If you feel like one of your partners is backing off from you, take a look at your behaviour - Have you been getting a little possessive with their muse or pulling them into scenarios that they are uncomfortable with? Do they have a lot on, or has a story they are involved in become draining? Let them have a little space to breath. Intense ships/storylines can feel quite suffocating at ties, so learn to recognize when your partner needs you to pull back for a while.
  
• The actions/opinions of the muse do not represents the actions/opinions of the mun - If a muse has a dislike for another, that does not automatically mean the mun dislikes the other muse or mun. Learn to separate muse from mun.
• Leave RL baggage at the door - We roleplay for fun. If you have a problem with someone in real life, don’t bring it into your verses. You’ll just make yourself and everyone you play with miserable.

Again, Happy (belated) Birthday!))
