Make a cake to find out what you’re missing in life

                                                  Security

The future seems uncertain and in a world full of half-truths and blurry information it feels like nothing is secure anymore. It's hard to find your balance when the ground seems to be slipping away from under your feet. but remember, just how sailors used to navigate with the help of the stars, there are things that are firm and bright even if they seem far away, even when you can't always see them. Find that sure pinprick of Light in your life and remind yourself that it is there, always, and when night falls and the clouds disappear you will see it again clearly!

Thanks for the tag, @zeehva​! This was eerily appropriate...

Melorica chewed her bottom lip as she thought up how to respond.

“Umm, well, I think that sex is nice? And fun? And I would like to do it sometimes? I’m not really sure how other people feel about me in that regard.” She tugged at the neck of her shirt as her face reddened. “Gee, why is it so hot in here?”

She folded her arms protectively over her stomach as she continued, evading eye contact as best she could. “And I think that there’s a long list of things to experience, and I’d like to experience a lot of those things.” She gave a stiff nod, hoping that was enough to satisfy.

Melorica tapped her chin with a finger. 

“Hmmmmm... That’s a tough one. Cause if it’s subconcious to me, how am I supposed to know?” She flashed a grin. “Only kidding. Well, if I’m talking like a blabbermouth and tripping over my own words, I’m probably really excited to be around you. Or if I smile at you for no reason. Sometimes I’ll even just find myself thinking of someone out of the blue when I associate something with them. Like, the chiming of glass makes me think of you two!”

Her grin grew into a warm smile.

Melorica took a minute to think, her brow knitted together in a tight furrow.

“I think it’s sacrificing your self. Like, not your life, but that stuff that makes you, well, you. Giving up your dreams, or personality, or friends. All those little details that make up the individual that you are. I’d either have to have utter and complete belief in the cause or person, because I like who I am right now!”

“I might get by as long as I never opened my mouth to speak!” Mel replied with a laugh. 

“My mother did try and instill in me the habits and etiquette of a ‘proper’ lady... She’d be pulling her hair out now if she could see me ‘playing in the dirt’! But yeah, I can wear the fancy dresses and curtsy properly and use the right fork for the salad... But I’d probably end up causing a scandal talking about my love of menial labor. That, and I just don’t want to be involved, and I can’t hide when I’m bored.”

Answered here :D

Melorica held out her arms and flipped her hands palm up. “Nothing physical recently, I’m happy to report!” She offer a brief smile that soon withered as she crossed her arms over her stomach. 

“As for emotional... yeah, definitely. My papa passed away during the Shattering, when Deathwing came to the City. Mother disappeared soon after.” She heaved a sigh. “And that’s all I have to say about that.”

“Spring is the start of planting season, so it’s usually when I do the most work. That means long hours spent tilling, turning, and whatnot to get the garden ready for seeds. But that means I get plenty of time to work off the winter weight! And I just love the satisfaction of sitting down with a hot cup of tea after a long day’s work and simply listening to the rain.”

“Summer has its good moments, I guess. I don’t have as much work to do, so I can spend time on my hobbies and side projects. It’s a great time for foraging and hunting down those herbs that grow wild. I can usually steal away for a few days if I need some time to recuperate. But man do I hate the sunburns!”

“Autumn is amazing! The leaves change colors, the crops get picked, and life slows down to a manageable speed. Once I sell off the harvest, I have some spending money, which means new clothes if I need them, and books, books, books! I can set aside more time to spend at leisure, with friends or alone, though I prefer to be out with friends.”

“Winter is my favorite. I’m in love with snow! That first blanket that covers the ground, and that perfect crunch under my boots. It’s heavenly! There’s nothing to take care of in the garden, and not a whole lot of herbs, so I mostly work on my sewing if I need to make some coin for Winter’s Veil. I go all in for the holidays. Baking, wrapping gifts... snowball fights! I feel like I get to be a kid again!”

It was a dark and stormy night. The wind howled through the trees, their twisted limbs moaning in protest. A pallid, swollen moon hung in the sky, washing the landscape in a sickly yellow light. Dark shapes lumbered through the gnarled woods, tripping and stumbling over knotted roots, yet marching ever on in pursuit of their prey. A young woman, blinded by fear, ran through the woods ahead of the shambling horde, seeking refuge from the monsters advance.

She felt their hot, stinking breath against her neck. Just a few more steps and she’d be safe. Just a few more steps and she could live.

Hard, cold claws snared her arm, digging painfully into her soft flesh. A piercing scream split the night, only to be drowned out as the creatures feasted upon their still living prey...

Oh, gods, don’t open that can of worms, I have so many!

The one that comes to mind right now that I don’t see discussed often is scale. It falls under the greater scope of realism that I really wish people cared about as much as I do. Anyway, the -World- of Warcraft is supposed to be just that, it’s a whole world. Sizes and distances are not represented accurately. I’m sorry, but you just cannot walk across the entirety of the Eastern Kingdoms in a few hours, that’s ridiculous! 

The game doesn’t help very much with this idea, either. I remember at the end of the scenario to get the legendary cloak in Blackrock whatever-it’s-called... Wrathion is like “Let’s go back to Silithus! Here get on this dragon and we’ll fly there in no time!” Like, no sir we will not!

It’s just something I wish people (and Blizzard writers >.<) would be more aware of.

Not a whole lot of salt as far as RP and tumblr go! Actually, I’m a little salty that I slept through most of Munday... That’s my favorite day for asks >.< I have quite a large concentration of salt going on in my personal life, though. If you want the whole rant, I’ll put it below. But thanks for asking, @kyuusei-shadowleaf!

No, nonono, no no. I am not that confrontational, nor have I really had the need to, thankfully? I’ve only had this blog since... April? and I haven’t had any problems with anyone yet (Other than a certain manifesto, but that wasn’t directed at me). I’d honestly rather deal with a problem directly than just putting them on blast. I don’t really like the idea of mob justice or public shaming. I’ll handle my issue with the person directly, and then talk mad shit if asked in private by a friend XD 

Hmm, mildly annoying? That one is a bit hard, since most of my bad experiences were overwhelming levels of annoyance. Jeez, I’m having a hard time thinking of something, honestly. 

I guess one thing is that I have a tendency to get really attracted to a character concept but I drop the ball on fleshing them out to a satisfying extent. So they just flop around in my brain or sit on my character list without having much development. I wish I could devote more attention to that.

Something that annoys me about rp in general is that I’m not really a fan of lorebending/breaking. It doesn’t feel good to think this way, because I do want people to have fun and be creative, but at the same time why RP in a specific setting if you don’t want to abide by the lore of that setting? 

I guess for a personal anecdote, I had a character a while back who was a worgen warlock hobo. He was kind of an acquired taste, I guess, but he was fun. Lots of shenanigans. But the one time I had some of his backstory come out and show him in a sympathetic/pitiful light, my guild leader at the time kind of just hijacked the scene to talk about his own backstory and how bad it was. That didn’t feel too great...

I don’t know if any of that answered your question really. X3
