Just gonna make this my journal to keep everyone informed on what's going on with me offline so that you guys know when my activity will be slowed!






1/09/18

Soooo
I go back to university for the spring semester tomorrow.
I'm like extremely nervous and anxious about my schedule this semester. I've reached my last couple of semesters (maybe three?) which means I am taking the highest level of classes in my major... Where things are PRETTY difficult and complicated... Every new email I get from my soon-to-be instructors are making me sick with anxiety so...AAAAAAAAAAA 

And on top of that stress, I have to take "activity" classes which are essentially glorified gym class. And I just... don't like them. I mean, I did Tai Chi last semester which was really fun and rewarding. I wanted to do yoga this semester, but unfortunately I could not get into the class with the time it was scheduled for... And there's only two sections for it, one of which is only open to residential students (students who live on campus). Which I don't so yay...
So... I'm stuck with weight lifting and Aerobic dance (yikes!). And one of the things we have to do for Aerobic dance is get into a group and design a workout to lead the class with on a specified day of class. Which I'm not ready or prepared for AT ALL. Group projects stress me out to no end and I really don't like leading activities in front of a class. Especially anything athletic. I am more of a... sit at home and draw or read or watch tv kind of person rather than a go out and run a mile kind of person... And the weight lifting class is at a terrifyingly early 7:30am time slot :,) so yay. AND IM STILL on the waitlist to get into a course I really need to take. Though if I can't get in, I suppose it is not that bad. After all, it might be nice to have only 12 hours this semester to dedicate to studying and getting good grades. And maybe some art/RPs here and there.

Anyway. 
What to expect from me starting tomorrow is a decline in activity and online presence.
I'll be going back to "semester hibernation" where I will be slow replying to RPs and may not answer messages or be around to chat AS frequently. I mean I almost always check my skype/discord/DA when I wake up, on the bus to campus, and as I'm walking between class. And once I'm finished with studying/homework. So I mean, I'll be AROUND. Just not AS much as I have been the last 3 or so weeks of winter break.

I hope all you guys who are going back to school soon have a great and productive semester!!

[IC] Meme

So I think instead of just making a bunch of meme-journals, I'll have this single journal--but keep updating it with a new meme whenever I find one I actually want to do

DIRECTIONS
Choose 8 of your OCs, Cannon characters, or (with permission) your friends OCs and answer the following questions!

OCs being used:
:icondomain-of-the-wolf:

AND
Fade [Retirement] by Jaeggy
(Amarok! Who shall --eventually-- be my 8th edition to the group! RIP me...)

1. 1 and 3 are set up on a blind date, courtesy of 4. Why did 4 set up the date? Where do 1 and 3 go? What happens? 
So!!!! Ronelle(4) would have met Jerikoh(3) at the Vektren border. They PROBABLY would have gotten off on the wrong paw, and MIGHT have even gotten into a scrap. After all, Jerikoh is a confrontational douche, and Ronni doesn't like being told what to do. ANYWAY, their rough-and-tumble would have ended in a stalemate, both sides stopping the assault out of mutual respect for each other. Mutual respect blooms into friendship, and there you have that connection! Baely(1) would have encountered her during his time in Aryn (he's currently helping out with that whole blutwald situation), and maybe he was searching the area for any signs of his birthpack. BUT instead of finding a Blutwald wolf, he runs into Ronni! Ronni would have shared whatever information she knew with him, and would have stuck around to try and get information out of the big brute in return. This would also end in a wary, but mutual friendship between the two. Ronelle is a mischievous trickster by nature, so she would have probably wanted to mess with her two new friends. She'd strike up a conversation about love with Jerikoh, teasing him about how he's probably doomed to be alone because he's too incompetent to woe a lady. Jerikoh, not one to take such blows to his pride, would contradict her and say that he's perfectly capable of wooing a female if he wanted to. Ronni tells him that he can put his confidence to the test, as she happens to have just the wolf she could set him up with that evening! He stubbornly agrees before storming off, and Ronni makes her way to Aryn to collect the second party: Baely. She would have told him that there is a wolf who might have information about Blutwald, and they've agreed to meet with him this weekend to share all that they know. The two, although for very different intentions, meet in the place Ronelle arranged. Jerikoh arrives on the scene first, looking devilishly handsome and sporting some flirtatious body language. He even decorates the clearing to aid in the mood and lightening (very determined to win this bet)..., Baely walks in on his preparations, but awkwardly hesitates at the edge of the clearing. He is not entirely sure how to interpret the scene before him. Jerikoh, thinking its the lady love entering the scene, whirls around and flashes Baely his best "fuck me eyes".  Baely takes one look at the scene, furrows his brow, and leaves. Without a word. And Jerikoh just sits there in shock, looking rather disheveled. 


2. 5 and 6 decide to spend the day at the city zoo! What happens?
Alright! So this one is actually pretty interesting-- We need some history first, though:
 Rhys(6) was born in Highvalley, his mother being steward to Gwyndolyn's(5) mother. When Gwyndolyn was a juvenile, Rhys was born illegitimately, and his mother was released from her duties and shunned by Gwyn's family. Gwyn's mother was furious, feeling as though her steward had brought dishonor on her family (by association) for fornicating with a rogue and having his bastard. Had things been different and Rhys had been born legitimate and remained in HV, Rhys might have been Gwyndolyn's steward. Gwyndolyn was willing to have him regardless, but her mother was adamantly against it--the future queen of Highvalley should not be served by a bastard, she had said.
SO let's look at this as an AU where they would have been steward and Lady:
Gwyndolyn would have little desire to go to the zoo herself--she's been there a THOUSAND times as a child, after all. BUT, she would have noticed her steward's longing glances in the zoo's direction as they passed by it on their routes. She could see the curiosity dancing in Rhys' eyes as he tried to catch a glimpse of what lay beyond the fences. Being lower-class, Rhys and his mother would have never been able to afford a trip to the zoo. But Gwyndolyn is a high born lady, with a wealthy family, and would have demanded they go because she was feeling nostalgic (but she really just wanted to do something nice for him--though maybe without him knowing it, ahah). He'd escort her to the zoo, able to gain entry because a highblood can't possibly go anywhere without her servant, right? Together, they'd see all the sights and Gwyn would fondly watch his excitement and wonder towards all the different animals. She'd tell him about each one, explaining their anatomy and any other facts she would have accumulated during her studies. Of course she'd boss him around the whole time and act really uppity, but Rhys would not have minded because of how happy and content he was to just be there.


3. 4 decides to take 5, 7, and 8 drinking! What goes on?
I love how Ronelle is the instigator (so far) in these scenarios x,D But anyway. So Ronelle is apparently taking Gwyn, Eztli, and Amarok drinking--BAHAHA. First of all, Gwyn would be in an absolutely foul mood--she hates Ronelle with a passion, Eztli would be creeping her out the entire time, and Amarok would probably be seen as a baseborn rogue as well. Ronni would probably be giving Eztli (the youngest of the gang) shots, telling him it was something else. He is blind after all! Gwyndolyn would be dragged along [begrudgingly]. She'd probably be drinking in a vain attempt to forget this night ever happened HAHA. Amarok would probably be the baby sitter and/or designated driver. I can see Ronni getting tipsy, starting a bar fight with a guy trying to hit on Gwyn. Amarok would have to break it up, and then usher all of them out of the bar to bring them back home before anything else goes wrong.

4. 8 locks up 1 and 2 in a closet. What happens? How do they get out?
So I don't really know why Amarok would lock his brother, Baely, in a closet with Kotori--but whatever. Baely would be really annoyed and anxious. I can't imagine that he enjoys cramped spaces, and he would enjoy them even less when he was confined with a stranger. Kotori, however, is as chill and sweet-tempered as usual. He'd probably take Baely on a philosophical journey, one that would continue until Amarok gets concerned for how long its taking and the lack of effort to escape, opens the door and lets them out. He's probably ask them what they were doing, but by then, Kotori would have already lead Baely into a higher enlightenment HAHA.

5. 7 has kidnapped 2 and sent 4 a ransom note! What did the note say? What is 4's reaction? 
Eztli would be the type to kidnap the Eir of Vale--let's be real. But I do not think it makes sense that he would send the ransom note to Ronelle--though she is [incidentally] Kotori's cousin (or something), but not that either of them are aware of that! Anyway--the note would have likely been meant for the Astir of Vale. Or maybe one of the betas. BUT let's just say that it fell into Ronni's paws by mistake. While Ronni likes to think she'll keep out of affairs that do not concern her, she's far too protagonistic to just stand by and let someone be held hostage. She'd go after Eztli and try to rescue Kotori herself! It would be interesting if she had help though--maybe her and Loki could team up. Or she could enlist the help of Cody and Vai. 

6. 1 throws a birthday, but they can only invite four people. Who do they choose and why?
Baely is shit at social functions, which makes this hilarious. I feel like he would want to do something special for Temperance on her birthday. He'd want to surprise her, but he wouldn't really know what to do because he's socially inept. So he would ask Embla to help him plan it, making her his first invite. Then I suspect he would invite Rutnik, who is one of his best friends, and he would assume Temperance was okay with him since they rescued Keme together. And he's the Thane, so there's that. He would also invite Loki for of the same reason...and because I imagine he would want to have Loki around since, in his own strange way, being close to Loki is a means of keeping Keme close. He'd also think that Temperance would be interested on seeing him again--during happier times. The fourth would probably have to be one of Temperance's friends/preference. I'm not really sure WHO--my instincts tell me Ludko or Atlas, but I'm not really sure on Temperance's relationship with either. I think Atlas would be the best option for the sake of drama! I have the impression that he and Temperance are pretty tight, and so Baely would think to invite him, BUT he and Atlas more or less hate each other. There was a really early encounter where Atlas mistook Baely for a wolf he knew in his past, and their was a lot of aggression/tension/negativity. So now Baely doesn't particularly care for him, and feels slightly butt hurt over the entire thing. But he would extend an invite if he thought he was important to Temperance, hoping that they could perhaps put their grievances aside for her.

7. Somehow, 3, 4, and 6 end up on Jeopardy! What happens? Who wins the game?
Well. Jerikoh and Ronni would be having a very heated and competitive death match on this game show. Rhys is significantly less intelligent than they are, but I feel like he would be the only one having fun. He might have even won a few rounds while his two competitors were too busy feuding--haha. But I do think Ronelle would have ultimately won the game. 

8. Pop quiz! This is an all-round subject test (everything is covered!). Who has the best score? The worst?
Baely would win. Rhys would loose--miserably.

9.If 3 could spend a day with any living person, who would it be?
 Shenandoah or Hellion if he was not busy (off with his lady love...heheh).

10. 1, 3,4, and 7 go through a time machine. Where do they end up? What do they do? Do they alter time in anyway?
So I feel like Ronelle would have embarked on this wobbly-wobbly-timey-whimy adventure to go back in history and stop her birth pack from being destroyed. Gwyndolyn and Baely would have gotten wrapped up in her escapade by pure accident. Gwyn would probably be consumed with her need for revenge, and try and travel back in time to prevent her father's death. She'd selfishly try and hijack the time machine from Ronni, causing them to ultimately be spiraled into a completely random time period that neither of them wanted. Baely would be the voice of reason the entire time, trying to keep the piece but failing miserably. What the gang did not know, however, was that they had a hitchhiker. Eztli would have snuck on board and is now wreaking havoc and bringing chaos to the time lines. The entire plot of this AU fan fic extravaganza would be Ronni, Gwyn, and Baely working together despite their difference in order to undo the damage Eztli has done to the timeline and bring them all back to the present.

11. Whee! Now, who doesn't love crack pairings? Give us four different crack pairings using the 8 people you choose for this meme! each person can only be used once, so spread the love!
Baely and Jerikoh--Ronni's blind date ends up being a success.
Gwyndolyn and Ronelle--she was to be the future alpha of Taino, after all.
Eztli and Rhys--Really dysfunctional and damaging relationship where Rhys manages to be the light in Eztli's darkness, but only to his own peril and truama.
Amarok and Kotori--The old, wise gays who relish in each other's company and enjoy the stories of their youths spent traveling the domain.

12. Taco time! Everybody, quick! Take a taco! But wait! There are only 7 tacos! Someone will have to miss out on a taco! What happens? 
Rhys would be the one who missed out on a taco--he's too submissive and accommodating to assert himself. 

13. 1, 5, and 6 go to a gelato (Italian ice cream) shop! What's going on?
Revisiting the previous AU where Rhys is Gwyn's steward:
Gwyn has Rhys accompany her to the gelato shop, and even permits him to have one himself. Baely is there too--but they are all out of a flavor that both Gwyn and Temperance want (Baely wouldn't get a gelato for himself without getting one for her!) Gwyn and Baely have a Blackfridayatwallmart incident while trying to procure the icecream. Meanwhile, Rhys hides under the table and cowers. In the end, the police come and escort both parties off the perimises. Gwyn uses her connections to have Baely thrown in jail, and Temperance has to pay his bail--I think Baely having to awkwardly explain that he was thrown into jail over icecream would make for some hilarious dialogue.  

14. Oh noes!!! 2 comes up from no where with a weapon! What weapon does he/she have and what is he/she demanding from the group? 
The only weapon Kotori would have is his words and wit. He'd probably give them a long-winded speech about how they all are assholes and need to grow up. And he'd be so eloquent with his wording, that they'd all have to agree and contemplate their lives for a hot minute.

15. So, now that that's over... why don't you tell us who everyone has a crush on? Does their crush know and/or return these feelings?
Baely has a crush on Temperance. He doesn't really know it himself yet, or at least I don't think he does. At the very least, he hasn't had that moment of realization quite yet. He has feelings, he is aware of them, but he hasn't worked them out on his own yet. I don't thin she knows either. As far if she returns the feelings, we shall have to wait and see...
Kotori doesn't have a crush on anyone, and I doubt he ever will? He's pretty aromantic, to be honest. I dunno, maybe he's too enlightened to ever find love, and that's honestly okay.
Jerikoh isnt the type to 'crush', but I am getting vibes that he is attracted to Isla. I also feel like Jerikoh has a strong Attatchment to Shen--but like I wouldn't say it's romantic in nature (yet?). He cares about her a lot. More than he's capable of showing or expressing. He craves her company and wants to help her get back on her feet and see her rise to her potential. But it's also to be noted that Jerikoh is not the kind of character to contemplate finding love or starting a family or anything that's emotional. He's consumed with his ambitions. 
Ronni has the biggest anime-girl-crush on Shiloh. Let's be real. I don't think Shiloh knows, and I doubt she reciprocates. But yeah. Ronelle is pretty obsessed with her, methinks.
Gwyndolyn does not currently have a crush. She's low-key attracted to Mohawk, but unlikely to ever act on that. She's still pining over Klaus, but in the brooding why-he-leave-me sort of way.
Rhys doesn't have any crushes yet OvO 
Eztli doesn't either
As for Amarok, well, who knows...

16. 2 and 3 decide to play some board games. What do they play? How does the game turn out?
Kotori would have wrangled Jerikoh in for a game of like Chinese checkers or something. Or maybe like some equivilant to Pisho in AtLA? Jerikoh would insist on playing because he's competitive and prideful, and doesn't want to loose. And Kotori just loves a good game and the sport of it--and spending time with a stranger. Kotori, of course, would win. And keep conning ambitious Jerikoh into playing another round.

17. While everyone is at 1's house, the weather turns from a bright sunny day into a horrible thunderstorm! Everyone decides to stay, and are going to past the time playing Uno. How does the game go? Who is the winner?
Just the mental image of Baely throwing a house party with actual guests and trying to entertain, only to have a thunderstorm thwart his plans is hilarious. It's so perfect too. WELL. I feel like the game would go south really fast--mostly because Gwyn, Ronni, and Jerikoh would be too busy trying to destroy one another the entire time. Like going out of their way to sabotage the other. I feel like they would catch Eztli cheating (probably keeping cards under the table or in his sleeves), and a brawl would break out and they would be trashing poor Baely's house. Kotori would just give up and read a book or something. Amarok would be teasing his little brother about how awful it is, and how his house is being trashed. Rhys would be the only one having fun, and he would probably win the game just because of the good karma he has accumulated. 

18. How would 4 react if they woke up on a deserted island? Would they survive?
Ronni is a survivor and wouldn't have any issues. She'd feel right at home not he island, but would want to be rescued because she was lonely and missed contact with others after awhile.

19. Prom time! Everybody is going to prom (no exceptions!) What does everyone wear? Who's going with who? Prom King, Queen, Prince, and  Princess?
I feel like Baely would be wearing very average attire. Nothing fancy or flashy, and it would probably be a rental. He also would look tacky since I doubt he'd know how to coordinate his colors. Kotori on the other hand would be to the 9s; He wouldn't be wearing anything flashy, but what he had would all look absolutely stunning together. He'd get the most compliments of the night. Jerikoh would look like that goth/scene kid who was forced into going to prom by his mother. Though in this case, it would have been Hekate LOL or Hellion who forced him into it. Ronni would be wearing a vest and a swavvy tie--looking very suave. Gwyndolyn would be wearing a very extravagant and expensive dress. It would be one of the big brands, and she'd be covered in jewels. Rhys would be wearing a nice, cute suit, though I feel like it would be a little loose-fitting as it would have been a hand-me-down from Akela. Eztli would be wearing a very strange outfit--something that drew attention and was very bizarre. Like something akin to what you see in the Hunger Games movies LOL. Amarok would be wearing a very mafia-esq get-up. Very slick and trim. Gwyndolyn would have been prom queen, obviously. I feel like prom king would have been Baely by anonymous vote (probably instigated by Amarok) and much to his dismay/embarrassment. Ronni would have gotten prince, and would be very smug about it. There would be no princess, as Gwyn would have taken that title for herself as well. 

20. If everyone could have one wish, what would each person wish for?
Baely would wish to make a name for himself--to be someone.
Kotori would wish to see his loved ones again--like his family, Evan, or Saurugol.
Jerikoh would wish for greatness/power/recognition.
Ronni would wish her birth pack back
Gwyn would wish for another chance at her youth--to be with her father and to do things differently with Klaus, Sveta, and perhaps even her mother.
Rhys would wish for everyone (especially Nadia and Akela) to be happy.
Eztli would wish to transcend his mortal body and take his places at the Mother's side, able to do her good works without the burden of a broken and feeble body.
Amarok would wish to find happiness and to enjoy remainder of his life in peace at Nita's side. That would be enough.

21. Does 6 have any secrets? What are they?
Rhys doesn't really have secrets. I mean, I guess he secretly wants to meet his dad and ask why he abandoned his mom. He wants him to know how much destruction and grief he brought onto her and to know if he cared for her at all.

22. 7 and 8 wind up in jail. How did this happen? What is their sentence? Do they attempt a jail break?
Eztli would have been scheming and causing chaos, and Amarok would have tried to stop him. But in the process, they'd both end up getting caught and thrown in jail, Amarok being mistaken for an accomplice. Vektren would come to break Eztli out of jail (I hope), and Amarok would end up escaping in the midst of it all.

23. 2 and 5 go to a carnival. What do they do? 
Kotori would probably bore Gwyndolyn to death the entire time, honestly. He's too philosophical and chatty for her taste, though his high rank would make her obligated to stick around. She'd probably be with him for some sort of ValexHighvalley diplomatic meeting. I think they would ride rides and play games, and while Kotori would enjoy himself, Gwyndolyn would have found it all very dull...and gross. Carnivals are not her style.

24. 1 suggested that everyone go on a camping trip together! Everyone agrees, and they soon set out. Where do they go camping? What happens? Does it end well or in disaster? 
Baely never really had good ideas, I suppose... But yeah. I kinda want them to go camping at one of the beach/sea-front areas in the Domain. They could build a campfire and tell scary stories--though I feel like Gwyn and Ronni would get into a fight and ruin the trip for everyone.

25. Last Question! What is everyone doing right now?
Baely is in Aryn, trying to offer his aid and experience/intel with their Blutwald predicament.
Kotori is just chilling in Vale, performing his duties as Eir and tending to his garden.
Jerikoh is being kept busy with his duties as Count, a slave to his ambition.
Ronni is hanging out with Tsuii and Tollek, getting to know their following and slowly becoming indoctrined into Imala.
Gwyndolyn is currently being pestered by her cousin and high-prince, Vladimir.
Rhys has been following Nadia around, doing the only thing he knows how to do--steward.
Eztli is acting as Ravka's live test subject.
Amarok is currently heading for the Domain with his best friend and companion, Nita. 


1, 3, 4, and 8 each get to tag one person to do this meme! who do they tag?

Baely would choose Zoketi 
Jerikoh chooses FaIIenShadows 
Ronelle be choose'n halloumicheese 
Amarok chooses databull

[OOC] Meme

12 min read
So I think instead of just making a bunch of meme-journals, I'll have this single journal--but keep updating it with a new meme whenever I find one I actually want to do. 





6.04.2018

Tagged by:
No one LMAO I'm just bored at work


1. what’s your gender? 
Non binary. 

2. what are your pronouns?
I am perfectly fine with anything to be honest! I've never been offended by people using the wrong pronouns for me since there really is no "wrong" for me-- I'm pretty indifferent. I've been feeling she/her recently, but this preference shifts so frequently that I do have a preference for They/them--just because it's comfortingly neutral.

3. is your family accepting?
Not especially, but I think it's getting better. This is probably too much information for this meme, but I guess I want to be more open about my experience being that it is pride month (I'm a very secretive/private person so I'm not usually open about my identity or my dysfunctional family LOL).

My brother and I are the proverbial "black sheeps" of the family, so a lot of my support comes from him and his boyfriend who I love dearly. However, because of my brother's situation, my father has been REALLY overbearing with me. He believes me to be his "normal, trophy" child. Which is really stressful because I've never really... been that. And he's deluded himself into believing (to a very impressive degree) that I am. So he gets REALLY antsy when his notion of what he perceives to be "normal" is challenged. For example, I came down for Thanksgiving wearing "boy clothing" and he threw a tantrum and harassed me until I changed--he did not want the rest of the family seeing me dressed like that. Which hurt. A LOT. And I think I went into my room, cried, and almost went back up to my college town to spend Thanksgiving with my brother and eat lasagna instead of turkey... HA. Or the time when I moved into my first apartment with one of my female coworkers whom he had never met. He was SO certain that she was my GF (she wasn't) and this was me coming out. There were a lot of long phone-call conversations about that. 

My sexuality has never earned me his prejudice, as I've only ever been in heterosexual relationship thus far. But gender is where our conflicts arise. My father always wanted a little girl. So much so, that even before I was born (or was a possibility due to my mom's health) he kept a room in the house with pink wallpaper and told everyone that he would have a girl one day. When this dream finally became a reality, he would was so overzealous that he would try to instill those stereotypical female gender roles onto me. But... it never really stuck. In fact, much to his growing dismay, I seemed to shrug off any and all "feminine" paraphernalia in favor for more masculine alternatives. And whenever I would voice that I was not comfortable with fulfilling those his "female" expectations, he would be super distraught and guilt trip me. I started questioning my gender when I was pretty young. I remember that in middle school, it was especially difficult because that is the age where everyone is just starting to come into themselves I guess. 

My mother, however, was infinitely supportive. Though I did not realize or appreciate it back then, looking back, her support and acceptance was the greatest gift she could have ever given me. My mother was the mom who would smuggle boxers into my dresser drawers when I told her that I didn't feel comfortable wearing girl clothes. My mother was the mom who walked me into the boy's section to pick out a pair of swim trunks when I was invited to a pool party one year. My mother was the mom who took my brother to the side after he came out and told him that she 
only wanted him to be happy, despite the potential repercussions from her overbearing husband who was in deep denial over it and could not accept that his son was in a relationship with another man. After he came out, my father would not let me visit my brother without his supervision for fear that my brother would "brainwash me into thinking it was okay to be gay". My brother has been out since he left the house to start college (early 2000s)--that's a lot of missed time where I could have had his guidance for my struggles growing up. And to put things into perspective, my dad has only JUST NOW started to come to terms with it. I would not go as far to say he accepts him, because he is really homophobic (due to "religious reasons"), BUT he is now open about telling the family/his significant others. While this is not ideal, it is progress. Before, my brother's sexuality was considered top secret and we were more or less forbidden from telling anyone in the family. Now, everyone knows and my family even extends holiday invites to my brother's BF. There's still a LONG way to go, but it's so much better than before. And I am positive and optimistic about that and am hoping things continue to improve ;v;

4. what do you wish you could tell your past self?
Do not try to be something you are not. And do not feel pressured to align with any specific identity permanently because it is totally okay and valid to change your mind along the way. Be yourself and trust your friends to love and support you because they are really awesome and maybe your openness could have helped them with their own discoveries. 

5. what is your sexuality?
I think I can confidently say that I am gray-ace. I use to think that I was strictly demisexual, but I've come to realize that, even with someone I am closely bonded and comfortable with, I just do not really feel sexual attraction. And on the off chance that I do, the intensity of those feelings are so low that it's not driving me to act on them. So I think Gray-A is where I align. I am, however, demiromantic and have only ever been romantically interested in my best friends... which is problematic for obvious reasons HAHA. And I've only been in heteronormative relationships because all my best friends have been guys. I dunno why, that is just how it happens. 

6. favorite color?
Subjectively, green. Objectively, purple. Like I feel an emotional bias and attachment to green for some reason, but purple is my go-to color for accessories and clothing.

7. sun gay or moon gay?
Moon gay ??? LOL

8. when did you find out your sexuality?
Well, I started realizing something was "different" about me in Jr High. Whenever my friends had get-togethers, one of the common conversation pieces was attractiveness--specifically how attractive celebrities (or our peers) were. I always felt disconnected because I did not really feel attracted to anyone? I mean, I could say that I liked someone's style or the way they looked (what I refer to as their "aesthetic"), but I could never really empathize with the ATTRACTION part. I never wanted to date these people or kiss/have sex with them. I was also disinterested in sex, and to a degree, sex-repulsed. It was very frustrating because I would constantly be teased for "being a prude". When in reality, I was just ace and did not yet know there was a name for it. I think I learned about demisexuality and asexuality (and other sexualities and gender identities for that matter) was when I got into ARPGs on DA. I would encounter a sexuality on an app sheet that I did not know, google it, one thing lead to another, and I eventually found a label that I fit into. And it was SO COMFORTING to learn that I was not "defective" and that there were other people just like me. I do think I have a "aesthetic" preference for masculine or nonbinary people, though.

9. how was your day?
I just started my day. And work has been so wonderfully quiet, but my annoying coworker just arrives so time to break out the headphones and blast Zella Day and Halsey until my ears bleed.

10. do you have any gay friends?
YEP! Most of them are online, but one of my closest friends (we've known each other since we were like 10) came out a couple years ago and I think we are closer now because of it so that's cool--I was the first person she told out of our friend group. We live in the deep south where being gay is not really... looked well upon due to the heavy influence of religion and what not. So she was very afraid to come out to us in fear of losing our friendship. Fortunately my entire friend group is very open and supportive so <3

11. what’s your favorite hobby?
ARPGs. It's practically my only hobby--unless cats count.

12. who’s the best gay icon in your opinion?
I think Ellen DeGeneres should count, right? I'm not really familiar with what qualifies someone as an "icon" rip. But I fucking love Ellen.

13. which pride flags do you like the most design/color wise?
I am probably biased, but I love grays and purple so the asexual flag.

14. are you openly out?
Not really. I mean, I've only ever been in heteronormative relationships thus far so there has not been a need? And I do not necessarily feel the desire to tell people about my gender identity in real life because I'm just... a private person? And, with where I live, it would not likely go over well. People are pretty close-minded around here and I feel like it would be so emotionally taxing to engage in a conversation about my gender. I mean if someone asks me, then I will be happy to explain it to them. But I do not openly advertise my gender identity and do not care how people perceive me so long as it is not in a derogatory way. 

15. are you comfortable with yourself?
Yep! Of course there are a few things I would like to improve on--I want to be more fit, for example. But I've never experienced body dysphoria--I have only experienced dysphoria when I was being forced to conform to gender roles.

16. bottom or top?
Bottom lmao

17. femme or butch?
Neither LOL 

18. do you bind?
I already have a conveniently small chest so all I really have to do is wear a tight-fitting sports bra and they're nonexistent OwO)b But there are some days where I feel more feminine and will wear a more flattering bra LOL. It just depends on my mood that day. But, yes, 90% of the time I prefer to "bind". 

19. do you shave?
Yep. I absolutely DESPISE hair. If I would not be severely judged for it (I have severe social anxiety so I'd think people are judging me regardless of whether or not that's true), I'd have a shaved head too. LOL. 

20. if you could date anyone you wanted, who would it be?
Uhhh does my SO count? LOL 

21. do you have a partner (s)?
YEp.

22. describe your partner (s)?
He's a little dense sometimes, but he has good intentions and is very loving and supportive. I can be myself with him and I love what we have.

23. have you ever dated anyone of the same sex?
Nope. I only have developed romantic feelings for my best friends, all of which have been guys. 

24. anyone of another sex?
Yeah that's usually how it happens with me.

25. pastel gay or goth gay?
Goth gay.

26. favorite dad in dream daddies?
Craig. Definitely Craig.

27. tell me a random fact about yourself?
I can't whistle and it upsets me greatly.

28. do you own any pride flags/merch?
Nope :,) I can't find any around here and I don't order stuff online all that much.

29. have you ever been to a pride parade?
I want to, but I never really have anyone to go with? And because I'm a poor college student who works full time and is also a full time student, I can never go out of state. But I would like to one day. Maybe when I graduate and move to a less shitty state.

30. any advice to someone who isn’t out or who is exploring themselves?
Take your time and do not sweat it. Focus on finding yourself and being comfortable with who you are, and everything else will fall into place. I wouldn't even focus on a label that much because if you are anything like me, you might feel pressured to conform to it and become frustrated. But yeah! Try new things and just take time to self-reflect. To be honest, RolePlaying characters with different gender identities and sexualities helped me a ton!

Hey!
So I figured it was about time for me to make one of these since I've been joining a lot of groups lately, and I think it is good to know what you are getting into when you RolePlay with someone. And I lot of things can be uncomfortable or awkward to discuss, so making a journal with my boundaries and guidelines for RPing seems like a good idea. Hopefully it will minimize awkward discussion haaa... If you have any question, feel free to ask!

General

  • I am NOT my characters. While I have created them, and play them, their morals, ideals, beliefs, and opinions do not always mirror my own! For example, if I have a character that exhibits homophobic behavior, that does not mean I, myself, am a homophobe. If my character is a sociopath, that does not mean I, myself, am a sociopath. If my character participates in murder, that does not mean I, myself, condone or encourage murder. 
  • With that being said, I believe RolePlaying is a form of story telling. It is not always sunshine and daisies. If I have sensitive themes in my writing (such as rape, murder, kidnapping, scarification, cannibalism, abusive relationships, mental illness, ect.) that does NOT mean I am "romanticizing" or encouraging or condoning these things! I cannot stress this point enough. It is storytelling. This is a big wide world, and these horrible things exist. All works that have sensitive material will have the appropriate warning and filter--it is YOUR job as the reader to protect yourself by turning your filter on. Please do not tell me how to write characters. And on the same token, please do not tell me what to write about and what not to write about. 
  • Please do not take my characters opinions/feelings/thoughts/personality in general personally. I do not use my characters to advance my political or social agenda. Each of my characters are unique, and when I play them, I am going to have them respond as THEY would, NOT how I would. If you find yourself unsure or offended by something, please let me know and we can talk about it! I want all my RP partners to have fun and feel safe!
  • With that being said, I will NEVER, under any circumstance, change my characters to appease someone IC or OOC. Before you start a RolePlay, please read through their application to be sure that you want to have exposure to this character. 
  • I DO accept pre-established relationships! If you would like to have your character know mine in the past, let me know!

Boundaries:

  • I will not tolerate any form of GodModding, Meta Gaming, or Power Play in my RolePlays. If I feel like my partner is doing any of these, I will shut down the RP to discuss and reevaluate the situation. If you are unsure as to what I deem as Godmodding ect, see here
  • I will not write smut. This is mostly because sexual matters can make me super uncomfortable and my mood is very unpredictable when it comes to that. Some days I'll be making a bunch of sexual jokes and writing sexual innuendos, the next I may feel completely repulsed by them. So just to save myself as well as my partners any confusion, I'm just going to go ahead and say no.
  • While I LOVE shipping, it is not the focus of my life as a RolePlayer. And while I may ship something, it does not mean I am trying to make it canon. I am pretty picky about my characters' romantic endeavors, so it takes a a while to warm up to the idea (as far as it being canon).
  • I will only have canon-accepted ships with partners who I talk to on a regular basis. I will not want to have my character be in a relationship with the character of someone who I seldom talk to. If our characters are together, I want them to have a lot of adventures together! I want everyone to see them together. I'm very invested in my ships. 
  • If you would like our characters to become a couple, let me know and we can plot it out. But our characters will have to interact (in an official RP) and we'll just have to see how it goes. I will not make any guarantees that my character will fall for yours. In fact, my characters often write themselves and I am often very surprised by who they fall for!
  • I do not mind my characters being severely injured by others, but please discuss this with me beforehand. I want to make sure that the violence/aggression makes sense IC. I prefer to discuss and plot all fight scenes before engaging to avoid any confusion or misunderstandings.
  • Speaking of plotting--I prefer that we plot out something before RolePlaying our characters. This is because it is hard for me to get behind a RP and stay attentive if there is no direction. I often find myself unmotivated to reply in casual/wing-it roleplays.
  • I am okay with swearing in RPs; some of my characters are potty mouths. HOWEVER, if it gets obnoxious, then I may ask to tone it down or edit it out. This is because I (personally) find that excessive swearing in roleplays makes the writing look unprofessional and even lowers the literacy quality. It is just a personal preference. OOC I swear all the time. But I like to keep my RolePlays clean unless the situation deems it appropriate. 

  • I read all my notes as soon as I get them--I have my notifications turned on my phone for the DA app. So just because it says it has been read, does not mean you should respect a reply to me that day. I reply whenever my muse works and when I have free time. But I am not ignoring your reply or unhappy with it--just eager to read it! haha.

Rules

  • I do not submit literature to my gallery. I want to maintain the appearance of an art-dominant deviantArt member. This means that if you want our RP publicized for group-currency or just for the sake of sharing, you will have to post it. I apologize for the inconvenience. 
  • If you ask for the RolePlay, you start the roleplay. If I ask, I will start (unless you specify that you want to for whatever reason). And we can take turns from there if we go for second, third encounters. If you ask for a RP and want me to start for whatever reason, I am willing to be flexible
  • Please do NOT pester me for replies. I am often very slow with replies due tot he fact I have university, a job, and a life in general outside of DA. If you have not gotten a reply from me in a month, feel free to contact me! I usually reply to all my roleplays on the weekends, and if it takes me that long, then I most likely forgot or lost the latest post!
  • I reserve the right to decline any RP request(s)
  • I do NOT RolePlay other people's characters, nor will I RolePlay commercially used characters. For example, I will not RP ATLA or LOK canon characterts (korra, mako, asami, bolin ect). I will, however, create my own OCs in that universe. Please do not expect me to use characters that I did not create!
  • I do NOT RolePlay my characters that are in groups outside of that group's setting. For example, I will not RP Baely with someone who is not in DotW nor will I RP Kieran with someone who is not in EBC.

R P - S a m p l e

[ Taken from: DotW|| Character: Jerikoh]
He eyed her, torn ear twitching away her malice. He wondered what had made this young wolf so bitter. Was being raised in royalty this terrible? Sure, there was the rebels to account for, but surely the King and his family had support too?

Rolling his eyes at her threats, he rose to his paws. ”Be my guest~” He cooed, circling her now. It was not his problem if the alliance was called off. ”I doubt we’d miss it. It seems that most of the domain despise Vale, and your lands are barren. Not much can be gained from this alliance. Other than enemies and dried bones.”

The dark wolf continued to circle her, eyes falling on her figure with pity. Something about her seemed melancholy. This was no way a pup should behave. Not even he was this dark. And he certainly did not have the happiest of puphoods. 

”From anybody, really.” Jerikoh told her. He cared not to address her previous topic of slaying those who oppose her. He was not in the mood to discuss angst-driven aspirations.

”You do not need to trust someone to learn from them.” He found his way back to his previous place in front of her. There, he slid to his belly and crossed his paws neatly in front of him. ”There is much to be learned from simply observing those around you. Personally, I do not trust anyone.” The Omega told her matter-of-factly.
