THE HEART OF OLD

Ⅰ . MUTUTALS || this blog is mutuals only, meaning that there will be no interactions (outside of anon messages) unless we are both following each other. personals who constantly spam likes or reblog my posts will receive a hefty hardblock. if you have a side blog, please inform me of it through ims or have it listed on your blog for me to follow so i can ensure i've done it, even if we've been mutuals before, i have a memory only a goldfish could understand so i might forget!

Ⅱ . GENERAL ETTITIQUTE || no godmoding, no metagaming, no controlling my muse's actions, no headcanon overstepping, cut your posts (or at least tag them as uncut), read my rules and verses, don't reblog a thread you're not involved in, don't give me three sentences to my three paragraphs, respect me and i will respect you!

Ⅲ . SHIPPING || you are allowed to be interested in the concept of shipping with my muses, but i ask that we make sure there's chemistry before there's anything confirmed. ALSO: shipping is multiverse, so there will be NO CHEATING plots on here.

Ⅳ . INTERACTIONS || the easiest way to interact with me is through any and all means: greeter starters, random starters, through my inbox, through my ims/dms, liking my plotting calls, liking my starter calls, responding to my opens, etc. i actually really do love when people do that and i promise you that my eyes will become hearts the moment i see someone interacting with something of mine.

Ⅴ . INTERCONNECTED STORIES || since this blog will have a lot of lore on it, it'd be nice to have interconnected stories with durin! if you'd be interested in that, please do contact me for mains!

Ⅵ . SM.UT || nope. not with durin. he's basically like a child and should be treated as such! please do not attempt to write nsfw topics with him because i will immediately block you if that's the case. implied topics on the dashboard are fine around him, but he will NOT be participating at all.

Ⅶ . DUPLICATES || i am always alright with duplicates following me! i might not follow first (due to the fact i don't want to make them uncomfortable), but it's alright to follow with your muse. if you'd like to make a twin verse or a verse where they might coexist, my ims/dms are always open to plotting it out! i would like this to happen so that way we're not confused about what's happening in the threads!

Ⅷ . DRAMA / CALLOUTS || please leave me out of petty drama. i'm almost 30 and cannot be bothered to keep track of the drama bombs going off. if the person i'm interacting with has done heinous things, then you may inform me, but if you were to tell me you fought about something in the past and couldn't make up, then maybe it's best you sort through things yourself. there's the blacklist feature to keep your blog safe for yourself. also i ask that if you have someone on a dni and i wind up interacting with them (they did something terrible and horrible withstanding), please remind me. i have so many followers and so many rules that i might forget things and it's not because i want to disrespect you.

Ⅸ . MEMORY ISSUES || as stated before and many times over my blogs, i have severe memory issues. not only am i diagnosed with add, but i am also going through early ovarian failure, which can heavily impact my memory. i might forget threads, i might lose threads, i might forget to tag triggers, i might forget to reply to you, but it's never out of spite! it's almost always because i forget and my mind just fizzles into the void.

Ⅹ . MEMES || i am not a meme directory, i am not a meme source, and i really hope that i am not just used for people to constantly take memes from! if i see it constantly happening on my dashboard and feel like we're not interacting at all without it being based on meme taking, then i might softblock in the future. i cannot stress this enough: send memes to people! if it's an anon one, send a meme! if it's a sentence one, send it (if you can't think of a sentence to send in, then, fine, i can understand it better here once in a while)! also if i reply to a meme, you are allowed to continue it in a thread just PLEASE DON'T REBLOG IF I ANSWERED IT IN TUMBLR'S ASK FEATURE.

Ⅺ . BREAKING CONTACT || please don't softblock me. just block me so i don't wind up accidentally refollowing you. you also don't have to tell me why you are doing so, though it would be nice to know what i've done wrong so that, in the future and for the sake of others, i can improve myself. i will ALWAYS assume that you don't want me on your dashboard anymore, i will ALWAYS assume that i've done something wrong, so i will not refollow the person who has softblocked (if i'm aware they have and am not forgetting that they did) me because i want to ensure they are given the proper comforts and space. if you wish to refollow me in the future, then i will likely follow back, but i will not follow first.
