Moved to Multifandommuseroulette

TL:DR - I’m moving Genesis to my multimuse blog, @multifandommuseroulette because of lack of interaction here. I may not delete the blog, but consider this an inactive archive. Details below.

//Nothing against all you lovely people here, but after having so little activity on Genesis is tiring. The FF7 fandom is shrinking in activity, and me shouting into the void without response leads to not wanting to be on here, which leads to less opportunity for responses, and it’s just an ugly cycle.

I love Genesis, of course, so I’m not giving him up, but I am moving him to my multimuse blog where I can play him without having to juggle multiple blogs. The blog in question is @multifandommuseroulette and you can find a ton of other muses, from FF7 and other fandoms. Come check me out over there.

I don’t know if I’m going to delete this blog, certainly not right away even if I do, I want to copy over some things, but going forward all rp activity is going to be over there. It’s been fun, guys, but I think it’s time to move.

In 2015, I had gotten comfortable on Tumblr and I looked around, and saw a distinct lack of fandom hubs. There were fanblogs, sure, but not a specific blog attempting to gather the community together for communication as well as promotion. And even though I’d never run such a thing… I wanted to give it a try. Later, I would have a similar response when Doink! shut down, and begin to run our yearly fanworks exchange.

So perhaps it isn’t a surprise that, as Tumblr slowly burns itself down, I’m looking around again saying we need something.

For the record, we already have a Pillowfort Community (here), a Dreamwidth Community (here), and a Discord Server (here), all of which are helped run by the fantastic Mod Miri. It’s not that there’s nothing. But nothing is quite filling the space Tumblr occupied.

I wish I could say I had an answer to that. Tumblr has been brilliant, but as blogs are deleted left and right, it seems like this is probably the beginning of the end. And while it will inevitably take fandom years to resettle somewhere, I would like to provide an option in the meantime. Details under the cut.

So okay, I’ve looked at Pillowfort as an option for rp (there’s definite pluses in theory, it’s just the actual application at this point that makes me hesitate to move it over there immediately) and I’m definitely looking into Dreamwidth, though it has a layout that I’m not, again in theory, comfortable with after the conveniences of Tumblr.

So quick question. A hypothetical, at this point. Would anyone be interested in a forum setup for rp? Definitely FF7, possibly general-Final Fantasy + KH, depending on feedback. I’m not getting into specifics just yet, but it would have a premise that by default allows for multiples of the same canon character and any OCs, provided you could prove a firm grasp on them and willingness to obey some basic rp rules.

But of course, if there’s no interest, there’s no point. You’d need at least a handful of characters, ideally much more. So signal boost this if you would, with a quick comment either on your reblog in-depth, or in the tags.

So, it seems like a good time to put this around again. Because while I don’t think I’d get docked for images, there’s certain types of positivity I post that I don’t trust Tumblr not to tank me for. SO, where else can you find me?

He hummed low and was quiet, lost in thought. “I suppose I was lucky…not only that it was Cloud and the others who found me, but that I was in this form…” He wondered if any of them might have been killed by one of his other forms, had he not been human when the coffin opened… Not a train of thought he wanted to dwell on.

Perhaps it was a bit deep…for two people who barely knew each other, but then Vincent didn’t know anyone (Cloud excluded), who might understand.

“Do you ever think…’this could have been me’?”

Genesis certainly needed the sleep, and Vincent had no need of it just yet. He’d slept a few weeks ago; that didn’t mean he wouldn’t doze to pass the time of course. Rolling the edge of his blanket up for a pillow, Vincent laid down with a sigh and gazed up at the shadows flickering on the ceiling, lapsing into silence for a while. He’d gotten so used to being alone again, but at least he didn’t feel the need to entertain Genesis, as he might with some.

“….Do you ever find it hard to kill them?” he asked, after some time had elapsed. 

“Oh I won’t sleep.” Vincent said easily, putting a big, long burning log on the fire and settling onto his blanket, flipping the edge over his legs. “Nothing large is going to be coming along that narrow path anyways.”

“Oh.” Genesis considered that, and counted it as an unexpected gift. He’d much rather just sleep as long as he could, and recoup enough to go off in the morning. “Well, in that case, I’ll just let myself sleep, then.”

In order to not waste any of the cut meat, Vincent finished off the rest on the plate and took the carcasses off the spit, moving them to a cool place. “…A list?” he shook his head, “No. I just come out and deal with anything I come across. Why?”

“Just wondering if there was any way to know what else was likely to be out there.” Genesis waved vaguely. “Assuming you’d like a watch, I’d be happy to take first.”

Vincent could have honestly done without eating, if he’d needed to, but no point in mentioning it. “Better now that my feet are dry.” he hummed, nibbling on a few pieces of meat. Outside it was still raining, but more in earnest now, the wind howling against the cave opening, thunder occasionally rumbling in the distance. He hoped that tomorrow morning would be clear…spending any longer than one evening in a cave with another human would stretch his social limits for the month….

Licking his fingers off, he stood once more and retrieved two wool blankets from the chest, old ShinRa military blankets and set one by Genesis, then sat on the other, taking another piece of meat.

“That does tend to help.” Fortunately, one thing his boots were good for was keeping his feet plenty dry. Well, amongst other perks. But it would take time to warm up properly otherwise, even if the fire was helping. Of course, if he had a better handle on his magic, he’d be able to take care of that himself, but that was part of the problem.

He eyed the mouth of the cave as lightning lit up the sky, shaking his head and going back to have a bit more of the meat. It was a wicked storm, definitely not something to be traveling in. Awkward as things were, he was glad to have a chance to avoid that, without having to scour for a place on his own.

He finished eventually, and set to examining the blanket, debating how he wanted to settle for the night. Goddess willing, he’d settle reasonably.

The look on Vincent’s face could almost be classified as a smile, but only by a great stretch of the imagination.

“Good luck that I shot more than one.” he replied, settling down again with his feet stretched out to warm some more.

“….Getting warm?”

“Wasn’t so much a choice as what I woke up in….”

The meat was done enough; Vincent was hungry. Knife pulled from an ankle strap, he carved the rabbits onto the warmed plate and offered it to Genesis first.

“Have as much as you’d like.”

“A story for another day, I imagine.” Because he had no idea what, exactly, that meant; he’d only dug enough into the older man’s past to have an idea of what sort of person he was dealing with, along with a few bits the man himself had shared.

“And I went for entirely too long wearing leather pants and a cloak.” Vincent returned easily. “Once a Turk always a Turk, I suppose.”

Genesis blinked, head tilting as he tried to picture that. Leather pants, sure. He could see that. But... “A cloak? That’s...”
