about

This is an independent, selective (as in: mutuals-only), and non-exclusive (as in: I'm okay with more than one version of a character interacting with this muse, this blog is duplicates-friendly), crossover and OC-friendly roleplay blog for Sai from the Naruto series.

My muse for Sai is somewhat canon-divergent and incorporative of headcanon material but is based almost entirely on canonical elements from the Naruto manga and Shippuden anime.

DMs are open to all, if anyone would like to plot something more serious for something like a thread. Asks are always welcome, even if we aren't mutuals, but I may be selective in what I respond to.

My name is Maz, I'm Sai's mun, and I'm an adult who has been roleplaying online since 2008 and on Tumblr since 2010, departing from the roleplaying community in 2019 and returning in 2022—over a decade of experience with collaborative roleplay-based writing!

roleplay etiquette

No god-modding. I control my character, you control yours. I am, however, completely alright with things like your character(s) making assumptions about what my muse is doing or how they're feeling but, if you're really not sure where I'm headed with something, feel free to message me and ask. Clarification helps sometimes.

Yes, you can like and reblog the things that I post and share. You do not need to go to an image's or musing post's source to like it or reblog it. You can leave likes on threads you aren't a participant in—it's fun! It lets me know that you like what you're reading (just as long as you're not reblogging those threads)! Please don't worry about 'notification spamming' me. It's not a big deal and I don't mind it at all.

I observe 'Reblog Karma' with ask memes or inbox games but, importantly, I do not hold others to that standard; if I reblog an ask meme or inbox game from you, I will probably try my best to send you a prompt! I do not expect you to do the same. Sometimes, there just isn't a good one that works for a certain muse and that's perfectly alright.

Please don't start or add roleplay commentary on other Tumblr users' posts (I see this happening most often on images). Please be courteous to people who aren't roleplayers by keeping your threads off of their posts and making new posts of your own to start them instead.

Even as someone who has many original characters who is also an OC-friendly roleplayer of canon muses, I don't mind if you don't personally roleplay with OCs.

I don't mind it if you don't have a 'tagging system', that will never be a requirement for writing with me.

I match other roleplayers' text sizes in my replies (and I also usually omit emotive or reaction icons if my partner doesn't use them) but whether or not you format your posts is not a deal-breaker for me at all.

I don't mind if you don't trim our posts. I'm an X-Kit Rewritten user, I can be the one who trims our posts if you don't.

Typos and mechanical errors aren't a problem as long as I know what you're trying to say. If I'm confused by something, I'll send you a message about it. Otherwise, no worries.

Lastly, please do not follow me if you are someone who frequently recycles their blog into an entirely different muse. I completely understand falling out-of-touch with your muse but I don't have any interest in roleplaying with you if you only intend to write them for a few months before scrapping them and covering them up with a different character. It gives me the impression that you don’t really care about roleplaying with others.

rules

Sai is portrayed as both a minor and an adult on this blog (most commonly between the ages of fourteen and twenty-three years of age). However, NSFW sexually explicit interactions between adult characters and Sai, in the context of the verses in which he is also an adult, may appear on this blog. I am selective about the NSFW that will be published here, since I also have a NSFW-dedicated sideblog for Sai here — just understand this before sending any asks of a sexual nature.

For accessibility reasons, I do not roleplay using over-formatted and edited text (including on Discord) and respectfully ask that other writers avoid using excesssively-formatted* or edited text when roleplaying with me when possible, as most formatted text (particularly unicode text or, for some reason, Tumblr's colored text) is not compatible with the screen reader that works best for me.

I don't tolerate fascist reactionaryism or bigotry (racism, sexism, ableism, transphobia and transmisogyny, queerphobia, Islamophobia, antisemitism, pro-Zionism, or anti-communist sentiment) and I'm not shy about blocking people if I'm not interested in seeing their blogs anymore.
