superfluous man

long time no see. yes i am still alive. i’ve been over on my ireland OC’s blog (or, well, i was, until i uh forgot that i had a roleplay blog in general) 

at long last i have finally remade alexei’s blog! i very much needed a fresh start + a clean slate for him; i’m hoping to move him more into a direction that i am happy with this go-round. consider this a sort of soft reboot. 

after planning on coming back to this blog for the like, fifth time, it’s just...it’s just not working. i’ve had this blog since i was in high school and i can’t do it anymore. frankly looking through it kind of embarrasses me. so i think i’m going to keep this up as an archive but i will not be using it anymore.

BUT

i still really love this character. alexei was one of my first OCs and i would feel terrible just throwing him out with the bathwater especially while i’m still actively roleplaying on a different blog so i fully intend to remake. 

why? well, aside from how old it is, this blog 

is incredibly disorganized with no real coherent tagging system to speak of

has way too many followers, over half of which are old accounts of people who have since either left the community altogether or remade, which artificially inflates the follower count 

inconsistent in terms of formatting which is driving me insane every time i look at a reply 

and maybe most importantly, i’ve changed a lot as a person, and alexei has changed a lot as a character. a lot of my old headcanons on this blog no longer reflect the direction i want to go in with alexei. i feel like a fresh coat of paint will help alleviate some of my insecurities about writing on here. i hope to have the new blog up and ready to go by this weekend at latest and i hope to see you all there! 

much love,

“A-ah, hello.. So sorry to bother, but—” A wild, soaking wet Arthur appeared at his doorway. Too real, yet it still feels like a vivid dream turned nightmare? “I came from the English Quay. Official matters; not important.. A bit brazen of me, but may I come in for a moment?” Uhuh.

“Oh good God--”

hey would anyone be interested in my ireland OC if i made him a blog. ive been working on him for a month or so and every once in a while i just need a break from alexei by playing someone completely different

haven’t posted a doodle dump in a while so here’s some recent...ish stuff of some of my OCs who aren’t alexei, in order, we have:

vaclav, my czech republic, @nadtatrousablyska‘s husband 

my moscow design. she’s alexei’s older sister and they hate each other, her name is svetlana, she’s hot 

my most recent bastard, my ireland OC, ciarán o’halloran. he’s really growing on me and i may have to make a blog for him sometime soon, we’ll see. his looks are mostly based on various men in my family but mostly my father who is so irish that he inexplicably grows ginger facial hair

on that note, a few of ciarán’s aunties and uncles, the ancient kingdoms of ireland. first picture is auntie connacht tentatively named medb, bottom is ulster who doesn’t have one yet because he sucks and is terrible

we out here bro
