Keeper of the Dimensionator and Father of the Hero

“YOU, MY DEAR BOY,

                                  LOOK JUST LIKE YOUR FATHER.”

independent, fanon Kaden from Ratchet and Clank. Headcanon-heavy, AU.

[ it’s just a spark – but it’s enough to keep me going ] 

So, it turns out being a rebel with a cause is exactly like being a rebel without one, except that you have to get up early, and you can’t spend your lunch break hyperjumping to another galaxy where you have a coupon for free subs. I gotta admit, I didn’t think I was cut out for the Defense Force, and there are still days when I wake up and think, “Yeah, I was right, I suck at this.” But most days? Well, it’s always Crisis O’Clock somewhere in the Polaris Galaxy, right? Now I can target my skills where they’re needed the most, and I can watch out for the people that matter most to me. 

…seriously though, being a space cop you’d think I could get a coupon for a free sub every now and then.

(   they  say  to  find  your  purpose  ——  you  have  to  first  understand  yourself.  thing  is,  i  never  quite  knew  where  i  belonged.  heck,  my  name  came  from  my  own  tongue  when  i  understood  so  little.  makes  me  wonder  ——  have  i  done  everything  i  was  meant  to  do?  even  if  i  am  LOST  in  this  universe,  did  i  somehow  fulfill  my  PURPOSE?  one  can  only  hope.    )

 2. Some days I struggle to write replies. When I do, when I skip over your thread to reply to another, it’s not something you have done wrong. My muse is not responding to yours at the moment, possibly for reasons neither of us have any control over.

 3. There is no correlation between a lengthy reply and a good one. If you can only type out two paragraphs and I’ve written five, you didn’t fail, and vice versa. Writing flows best when you free yourself from the expectations of verbiage, structure, number of words on the page. 

 4. I do this for fun. If I’m not having fun with our thread, I have a responsibility to tell you so, to try and fix it so that it’s fun for us both. Conversely, you have a responsibility to do the same. We both have the responsibility of ending things on a pleasant basis if our muses are incompatible.

 5. There are days when I doubt my writing. I think we all have these days. Days when every sentence comes out awkwardly and half-thought, when nothing seems to flow. Please, don’t be afraid to ask me to change a reply if I’ve sidelined the plot with my meandering muse logic.

 6. You will never upset me by talking to me out of character. I’m fully cognizant that behind each muse is a real person, and I would love to get to know that person.

 7. I have a ‘style’, a set way that I best enjoy writing. If you’re a brilliant muse and I enjoy your writing, I may stalk you relentlessly without ever replying to a starter you’ve done just because our styles do not match. This doesn’t mean that either of us is less of a roleplayer because of it - we’re just different.

 8. I will not belittle your character ooc. Each muse is unique, each muse is a precious creation of a creative mind, an entity of its own. I promise to respect that, and only critique when asked and then only for the purposes of helping your writing. I will never send you anon hate.

 9. I want you to plot with me. I want our muses to have a story so complex, so incredible, that everyone reads along. I don’t want either of us to know how it will end before it begins. I want to sit on the edge of my seat, waiting for your reply, just to shake my head in awe of the brilliant turn or twist you’ve come up with.
