AWOL Confessions

Greetings and salutations! This post will be an introduction to the outsiders coming across this blog rather than the people already included in our lil' group.

We'll start with some questions! Likely the biggest one; what is AWOL?

AWOL is an AU of the traffic series / life series! It's an adaptation in which every character is a different version from themselves in a different season; for example, TL and DL Cleo are two very different people. If you don't get it, don't worry, it'll end up being quite easy to follow! (And you're always welcome to ask any questions that come!) It's is a private roleplay that primarily takes place in our discord server, but we've taken some creative liberties to make it more fun and engaging for the people taking place in it. For example: giving our characters canon access to Tumblr! Which can only end so well, really. Alas!

Does this have anything to do with the content creators of Hermitcraft / The Life Series? It does not! AWOL is an independent creation and it wouldn't be the same without all of us working together to create something special and individual. It's a collection of artists, writers, and amazingly talented people coming together to spin so many wonderful stories of their own.

Any further questions can be sent through our ask box, but please make sure to tag them with // so we know if they're referring to the characters or not! Try not to ask insensitive questions referring to in-detail trauma of anybody's characters ─ we have some systems and plural people in our community who don't want that kind of attention. Anybody who directly ignores this one firm rule will have their ask be deleted and be promptly blocked. If you're interested, click on the 'keep reading' button to learn about our characters!

haha. very funny.

..worse than id like to admit.

yes! well okay the lyrics are done but the instrumental is being finicky. so it’s- it’s done but it doesn’t sound quite right to me. maybe im being picky about it.

greatest strength is probably my (ha) strength! im proud of my abilities on the battlefield and my strength.

we all know my greatest flaw.

why do i keep hurting the people i love?

well, obviously i wanted to win. i put everything on the line for that win and-

now? im not sure. pearl said she was protecting me and- well i believe her. i just wish i hadn’t sacrificed so much for it, now.

if i were to wish for anything, i wish i had known. if i did, i think i wouldve gone through with marrying pearl.

maybe that’s for the better.

funny. funny story. i still havent had my first kiss! could’ve been at the altar but you know! im a little fucked in the head!!! haha

stabbed her at the altar.

not very pogchamp of me.

Afraid of falling in love? Nah, I don't think so. Not any more than usual, I think anyone gets a little nervous when they realize something like that.

I'm afraid of losing it.

I don't know. It's... complicated, I guess? It's hard to say what the 'real me' even is, at this point. After Secret Life, I've kind of gone for a... I wanna say softer, appearance. I dyed my hair pink and have this comfortable pink sweater I wear a lot now, and my demon features are barely present, just my tail and horns as small as I can make them. I like it, but does it reflect me, I don't know.

Inside I never feel so put together or soft and cozy. It's always turmoil, anxiety, overthinking, over one thing or another. I'm awkward and unsure of how to interact with people. It doesn't match my appearance at all. But is that me, or just my struggles from the aftermath of the games?

Late one night I felt bold and started dms with Stars using a stupid flirt. I was funny and silly and we both enjoyed it, but I could never do that normally. Is that me, or just a rare moment?

Yeah, it's complicated, I think that's the best I can say.

I would... appreciate that, yes. I think.

It's, ah, uh. She's. A child. For sure.

No other comment. Thumbs up.

Oh, gosh- there's so much to love!! He's funny, clever, hot, and loves me as much as I love him <3

Favorite thing, though, hmmm... I don't know, I guess that he's stuck with me this whole time. Through not one, but two games, in which most of the second I was fighting a curse, and then a year in our world together, and now back into this. He's stayed. Through our issues, through all the pain, everything. He's never left my side. Loyalty and commitment mean a lot to me, yknow? And now we're married!!

He's also grown a lot through it all and I'm so proud of him. We both changed, I think, I don't know how you couldn't. Several changed for the worse, though, and he changed for the better. So yeah!!

Love ya Dippledop <33

It's a little strange, yeah. But I know it's not me, and not my Bdubs. I've got enough to worry about without wondering about stuff like that.

(He does, anyway. Sometimes.)

I fully thought you were trying to get into a relationship with me anon I’m not gonna lie (thank you peril for explaining)

not enough

my… ha, okay. honestly, biggest dream is to feel mentally stable. and- and maybe something with pearl. b-but stability should probably come first, right?

(she’s blushing horribly.)
