SPEED: Horrifyingly slow, but sometimes I have my productive spurts where I can squeeze out 7-8 replies in one go. In-between all the essay writing and artwork that I have to complete for classes, my inspiration for writing is something that hits me when I’m tired of the litany of daily work and need some time to unwind from assignments.
REPLIES: Every muse that I create has a specific part of me in them that I like to develop and amplify in my writing. And being someone who has faced a lot of life issues myself, I feel that my replies to thread would have more emotional response than physical, explaining everything that my muse feels as though I were feeling it myself.
STARTERS: I’m not a fan of writing vague starters unless they’re open. Otherwise, they tend to be as specific to my partner’s muse as possible, unless I’m dry on ideas or cannot think of any other ways that our muses could interact. It’s especially hard for Shouhei, since he wouldn’t go out of his way to approach people unless he’s intrigued or intends on using them for one purpose or another.
INBOX: Extremely adverse. If I get things in my inbox, I usually them them sit there and ferment for weeks or months before I touch them or try to remember what meme they were from. For this reason, I do my best to involve reblogging memes unless I am really feeling my muse.
SELECTIVITY: I care immensely about character depth and thus tend to avoid those that don’t have a thorough biography in place. Your muse could be a Mary Sue and I wouldn’t mind as long as they have a reason behind their perfection, their mannerisms, their appearance, or whatever else------but the main thing, for me, is reason for why they are who they are. And I expect headcanons to uphold their background and give some insight on the character, which I hope would ultimately give substance to interactions. I also care a lot about writing style and general literacy, exceptions given to non-native English speakers. This is just personal preference, or maybe how I have been conditioned, but my decade spent roleplaying on GaiaOnline was not without experiencing the pickiness of the roleplaying community there, which was heavily invested in grammar and vast amounts of detail and literacy that could probably put novel writers to shame. I am far more used to reading plain, story-like narratives, which are straightforward, clean, and easy to understand, rather than poetry and purple prose that is lined with ‘artful’ formatting, a severe lack of determiners and pronouns, and words that were probably found on thesaurus dot com------for what reason than to look overbearingly complex? Than for people to think you clever?------but I digress; I could go on about my selectivity, but my personal taste is probably far more specific than even I can bear to comprehend. I consistently follow back maybe half (or less) of my total amount of followers, if that could give any insight on my selectivity.
WISHLIST: What would I, as a mun, want for Shouhei? It’s truly hard for me to decide, since there are many different directions that could lead him down so many paths. I think I’m just looking for someone to change his life in general, in whatever way that is possible.
HONEST NOTE: I’ve come to dislike muses (however fantastic they are developed or written) that are based heavily upon galaxy aesthetic and flora aesthetic. And this is coming from someone who has an astronomer OC. They are quite tiresome to look at, especially when many tend to dive down the same road. Also stop using Mookie’s art as a canon visual for your faceclaim. Yikes, this became a callout.
