Name: neph :) Pronouns: they / them Sexuality: noncommittal noises 🤷‍♂️

three facts

1. i have 20+ tattoos (i don't feel like counting rn), most all of them being hand poke. two of them are homages to my most darling muses (cherries behind one ear for Ren, and a lizard + bat for Lizzy & my bestie @freakarus' Eddie <3) 2. i have a fluffy squirrel-tailed gremlin kitty named Arti (short for "Artemis") 3. my maternal ancestry has a castle in Scotland

roleplay experience

How long: probably like, 15-20 years. it hasn't been a consistent amount of time, like there's been periods where i didn't roleplay but i started when i was somewhere around like 11 or 12 i think? i couldn't even tell you for sure lol Platforms you've used: the gaiaonline was my OG way back in the day. then there was a variety of other forum sites, none of them very consistently though i kinda just hopped all over the place. i was focused more of fic writing for a long time, before i came back to rp'ing on twitter of all places (RIP), and then finally over to tumblr like 3ish years ago. Best experience: i have fond memories of my time on gaiaonline, but even so i'd have to say tumblr hands down. i've met some amazing people on here, like genuine lifelong friends and also my bf so y'know that's pretty cool <333

muse preferences

Female or male: i used to pretty exclusively write female or female-leaning muses, with just one or two male muses once i started expanding my muse list. now i think i have a pretty even spread between the two and i don't really have any particular preference, i think. Fluff, angst, smut: it very heavily depends on my mood and muse at the time. i actually used to not write smut at all when i first came over to tumblr since i was new to the rpc and didn't really have any friends (shout out to the OG @freakarus my day 1 <333) so i just felt a lil uncomfy making my space. now i think i've got a pretty even appreciation for all three, just depending on what flavour i want at the time, what plot we have going on, etc. Long or short replies: definitely lean long. sometimes i struggle if my muse is low, but even when i'm trying to write short-n-sweet replies it often ends up being much longer lol some muses also just have A LOT to say (Hwan & Roman i'm looking at you two fuckers ohmygod) Are you like your muse(s): in some ways yes, in others no. there's definitely parts of me that are in my muses. i tend to write themes in my backstories that i have experience with myself (you can def see some threads that go through just about everyone lol). but ofc if you look through my muse list across my blogs there's also plenty that separates all of them, so lots of them have plenty different from myself as well!

OH ALSO !! i forgot to mention Sweet Home in my honourable mentions for best horror movies (TV shows). i could not for the fucking life of me remember the name while i was at work.

but yeah i found it. it's called Sweet Home and it's such a fucking good like monster horror show. i have definitely taken some inspiration from it for some of my characters. i won't say who because that is a ~Spoiler~

Least favorite horror movie?

Favorite horror movie?

i have a few different ones for different reasons, just off the top of my head –

Cabin in the Woods. it's such a great deconstruction of horror tropes, it's fun, it's ridiculous, but it also still has it's scary moments. i also really enjoy the score and cinematography, like it's visually a very fun movie to watch as well imo

Train to Busan. this is the best zombie movie ever made. fucking fight me idc im right. it's engaging, tense, and genuinely makes me tear up AT LEAST every single time i watch it.

As Above, So Below. i love this movie. i LOVE this movie. yes it has problems but i am a sucker for this type of horror. also being trapped in underground tunnels and confined spaces is like my worst fucking nightmare holy

rapid fire horror films that had imagery or scenes that scared the absolute fuck out of me and still stick with me to this day: The Grudge (crawling child is a big NOPE. also one of the most iconic horror sounds ever lbr), The Thing (body horror holy god), Unborn (a crawling old man with an upside down head. wtf)

honourable mentions to All of Us Are Dead and Alice in Borderland (ofc). both TV shows not movies, but some of my favourite horror shows in recent memory. also the anime adaptation of Parasyte fucked me up

Least favorite horror movie?

It Follows. okay okay wait LISTEN i know a lot of people like this movie. before anyone jumps down my throat let me just say that i watched this ONE TIME when it came out in theaters with a bunch of friends and we thought the metaphor was dumb because we were like. idk what 15 or 16? i do remember it having some good scary moments that stayed with me so like. idk maybe if i watched it now id like it, but i havent so all ive got is that one time i watched it and spent an hour trash talking it with my friends

Shutter, specifically the 2008 American remake. i love Joshua Jackson but what the fuck was that. the original wasnt like my favourite horror movie or anything (hence it not making the above list) but it was at least entertaining and made sense. this just... idk diluted everything in the worst ways

Drag Me to Hell. the ending to this movie pissed me off and that's all i have to say about it
