Let the mun of the blog tell you about their character. 

Force Shipping #1 - Trying to force someone else’s muse into a ship that they are not comfortable with or has not been discussed beforehand.

Force Shipping #2 - Trying to force someone else’s muse to acknowledge/accept your OC as their spouse/child/cousin/grandparent/distant relative that nobody invites to weddings.

Force Shipping #3 - Attempting to force some kind of rivalry, especially if the reasoning behind it is just to prove how much more badass one character is over the other. Like any relationship, the best rivalries are the ones built up and plotted out.

Metagaming and GodModding #1 - Trying to force someone else’s muse into a situation they are not comfortable with/have not discussed beforehand.

Metagaming and GodModding #2 - Killing/injuring someone else’s muse without asking/discussing first.

Ignoring a roleplayers rules/about/headcanons - They make these for a reason, usually spending a lot of time and effort on them and if you take the time to read them, you can avoid getting into problems while RPing with them.

Harassing someone about replying to your thread - A gentle reminder every now and again is fine (and usually welcome), but constant bombardment of their ask box complaining you aren’t getting as much attention as other thread partners is rude.

Interrupting someone else’s thread without prior discussion/permission - If you have an issue with the mun/muse, talk to them in a private message about it.

Ignoring repeated requests from someones muse (or the mun) to cease a particular activity due to reasons that may be distressing them. ie, triggers, etc.

Guess the last ROTG fanart.

This is Guy Fawkes:

He was a Catholic in 1605, which was a pretty shitty time to be Catholic.

This is Elizabeth I (one of the first HBICs):

She wasn’t big on Catholicism (it generally meant treason, which generally meant death). When she died in 1603 the Catholics thought everything would be rosy with James I on the throne:

They were wrong. He wasn’t big on Catholicism either.

This is Robert Catesby:

(This was a good era for hats. Or bad, depending on your fashion preferences.)

He was a Catholic and he wasn’t taking any more of this shit.

He knew that Guy was an expert with military stuff, so he got him involved with his ‘gunpowder plot’.

This is the gunpowder crew (or some of them):

So they spent 18 months planning and, on 4th November 1605, Guy found himself sat in a cellar under the House of Lords, with 36 barrels of gunpowder.

He was ready to light the fuse the next day, when the King would be there opening the Parliament.

At midnight he was found (so close, yet so far) and ended up on this:

Then after some nice, friendly torture, he was sentenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered.

He was quite lucky (I would like to point out that I am using the British form of quite, as in ‘fairly’, not the American, as in ‘very’), he jumped from the gallows so broke his neck before the drawing and quartering happened.

Gory details for those of you who want to know (you all love gory details, don’t lie):

Normally the person would be cut down, whilst still alive, and have their testicles chopped off and their guts pulled out, right before their eyes. Then they’d get cut into quarters and sent to each corner of the kingdom, as a warning for the criminally-minded.

So that is why, in the UK, we burn this:

And then have big celebrations like this:

To celebrate that the King didn’t get blown up in 1605.

And also because we like eating hot dogs and toffee, plus we enjoy the general peril of the November weather potentially hindering our standing-outside-in-the-cold-whilst-admiring-fireworks fun. It’s how we get our kicks.

Remember, remember the fifth of November,

Let me know if you’re still and active rotg or goc blog, 

Also does any one know of rotg directories?

Random doodles done during production.

Found those today while cleaning up the old folders (getting slowly ready to move on to new stuff).

The first one was done about a year ago, after a long day-night of work, during crunch time. A scene that needed to be ready, the files needed to be processed the next morning. I sent this along with a note to our awesome (and very patient) story coordinator (hello, Kristen!) saying I was finally done (3am).

The second one, I was reading a book by Joann Sfar. As doodling warm up, I tried imitating his style.
