i'm not the hero '

about berry.

berry. she/her. july 1st. thirty years old. cancer sun, leo moon, sagittarius rising. mom to two cats.

general.

must be 21+. if there is no mun age posted, there will be no correspondence.

mutuals only for everything, including sending memes.

ask for discord. i may be very selective. it is the main way to get ahold of me, but i'll check my tumblr messages every once in a while.

i have the right to soft block & block with no explanation.

i have the right to drop threads. i'll try and message you about them, but i'm a very forgetful person.

i will not tolerate bullying or ship wars.

please reblog things from the source, unless there is not one available.

none of the icons or gifs are mine.

anon is off, due to getting a tremendous amount of hate on previous blogs.

not duplicate friendly ( multi's please have a specific kyle swift tag so i can blacklist it ty <3 )

promo template. verses & pinned post banner/psd.

formatting, writing, plotting etc.

i will be EXTREMELY slow. my laptop died on me, and so i'll be writing replies mobile and when i have a chance to edit them on my computer i will. most of my replies i'm going to try and put in my queue. if something strikes my interest, then i'll post it sooner rather than later.

i will not be doing any kind of special formatting. i'll make my text small, but that's about it. if that's something you like to do, then that's fine. but sometimes, because of my dyslexia, i have a hard time reading things that are heavily formatted and so i may take longer to respond.

i'll use icons, gifs, or i'll go iconless. it depends on what resources are available. most of the time it will b e iconless.

the best way to start something with me is to send a meme, and then shoot me a message. i'm honestly terrible at coming up with plots and plotting things too in depth.

i don't care how long or how short our threads are, but if i write a lot and get two sentence responses, i more than likely will not respond to it and will drop the thread.

i write just about everything. smut will be present, and will always be under a cut. my main focus is romance and honestly, slice of life -- but i love all kinds of threads.

please do not inform me when you’re writing a response for me. i love all of my threads and tend to get really excited when i know i’m getting a response, and get pretty disappointed when i don’t see the response. i’d much rather it be a surprise so i don’t get my hopes up.

shipping.

i'm a big shipper. i love to ship. i love romance. it's the main thing i like to write. is romance. if you ship it, i probably ship it.

i don't do incest or anything with underaged characters. age gaps are fine as long as they're both consenting adults. i will not ship a minor with someone who is of age.

kyle is flirtatious and if your character is a man, he more than likely will flirt. this does not mean that i'm expecting any kind of ship out of it. it's just how kyle is built ( and it's a coping mechanism but we can get into that later. )

triggers.

i'm very big into mental health, and so there will be discussions about how kyle's time with ian truly fucked him up because it's not discussed AT ALL during the books.

all of my trigger warnings will be tagged. #triggerhere tw.

i will not participate in plots where cheating is happening. whether my muse is being cheated on or my muse is doing the cheating. if you have one of those plots, please tag it. i'm all for consensual non-monogamy. cheating is a big trigger for me. which is why i will not participate in it. i know kyle's backstory has to do with him being part of an affair, but i'm choosing not to write any of his things during that time.

this blog will feature discussions about: grooming, age gap relationships, & alcohol.

banned fcs.

while i don’t have many, these are face claims i just will refuse to write with for personal reasons. i won’t shame anyone for using them, but i just don’t want to really write with them. thank you. <3

mains/exclusives.

these are just the people that i've gotten to know and feel so comfortable with, and may or may not get replies faster. idk. if an exclusive is an oc, i will not be interacting with anyone that has that same fc. sorry, that fc now belongs to that OC and kyle can't see them any other way.

the way i view affiliates/mains/exclusives, are kind of as follows: affiliates are the people who i’ve developed kyle with and their muses and their muses are deeply intertwined with mine. mains are people i generally talk to a lot ooc and scream about kyle with. exclusives are…well, kind of self explanatory. i’ll only interact with that one version of that muse — there are a few that i’ll be making ship exclusive which means i’ll only ship with that version of the muse but i’m open to other, non shippy versions of said muse.
