#about ooc

an important note about my blog(s) is it is incredibly likely if not guaranteed that my ocs will include sensitive topics and potentially triggering content. i will always tag accordingly and if you need a tag added or my tags aren’t accurate then i encourage you to dm me or message on anon your suggestions so i can facilitate a safe environment to enjoy art that may include darker subject matter. 

you can expect to find common horror themes and tropes in some of my ocs that include murder, wrongful death, violence, body horror, mild gore, and potentially manipulative or malicious characters. many of my ocs also experience mental health struggles such as ptsd, depression, dysphoria, dysmorphia, anxiety, ocd, self harm, substance dependency and abuse, characters who have faced abuse and may act abusively. It is also common for my characters to have various disabilities and physical health issues such as partial blindness, chronic pain/illness, scars and burns, amputated limbs, and other such things.

i am not interested in glorifying any of these issues and i do not take them lightly! my characters and art are reflections of real life issues as well as unrealistic fantasy, art imitates life and i create art around what i know and witness. you are not obligated to interact with me or my characters or if you do you are not obligated to engage with the darker parts of my work if you wish not to, just do not expect it to go away (but i will tag and add warnings where necessary)!

my blogs and characters also tend to include some nudity and sexual content, much like triggering topics this will also be tagged accordingly with proper tags and if you ever need a tag added or corrected you’re encouraged to let me know! i am not in the active habit of writing smut be it detailed or simple or drawing outright porn aside from suggestive nudity. HOWEVER! i am not closed off from doing either of those things, it simply depends on my comfort level, mood, and energy. If i ever intend to include your character in an NSFW work i will always ask for permission if it is not requested of me outright, i expect this to be reciprocated as any consent should be if you wish to include my characters in your NSFW work. 

you can expect my characters, in NSFW contexts, to refer to and be interested in kink and fetish communities such as BDSM, leather, teratophilia/exophilia, and the like. i do not and will not create or publicly share work  with sexual abuse/assault or minor/adult relationships included. something like that isn’t impossible to be implied within a character’s backstory but do not expect it to ever be written or referred to explicitly or do so with me please!

besides what i’ve already stated here, these are some general rules i follow when roleplaying (many are universal and obvious) as well as preferences and important notes:

never feel rushed to reply right away! If you make sure i see it when you get to it, and maybe even give me a heads up if it might be a while, i especially don’t really mind at all! I do not expect everyone to have the time and energy to do this constantly and on call 24/7.

never feel pressure to rp something, or at all, if you don’t want to! i’m totally understanding of all the various circumstances and we can either do something else or part ways with no issue

no godmodding, outright mind control, or anything similar. i want to flex my creative muscles with you!

my character’s behavior/opinion/attitude towards your character does NOT reflect my out of character thoughts or feelings at all! if my character is rude, awkward, or otherwise it is 100% an impersonal, in-character thing and has no bearing on our ooc interactions at all, i don’t expect your characters to act perfect and nice all the time either!

if you have an issue, come to me! open communication is important for roleplaying, being friends, and especially when sensitive topics come up in our art! you can always drop out or let me know you’re not comfortable or having fun! don’t torture yourself for my sake haha

i don’t expect you to match my exact length nor write paragraphs upon paragraphs in response to me! if you do, that’s awesome! and if i manage to write a lot like that, i hope its your writing gears turning too! i will avoid ever responding in less than three sentences to your rp reply unless it is for intentional dramatic effect, and i ask that you try to do the same! no worries if you’re really stumped, there’s no rush and we can always chat ooc and talk ideas! 

i do not expect 100% perfect spelling, grammar, punctuation, or english from everyone i interact with, i certainly hope you try your best but as long as i can understand what you’re saying and we’re having fun that’s all that matters! if i need to, i’ll ask you for clarification and i encourage you to do the same if you don’t understand me!

while i do prefer the kind of rp writing that includes quotation for dialogue and first/second/third person writing for actions and descriptions, as long as your reply makes sense and distinguishes clearly between dialogue and exposition i don’t mind! no need to be overly fancy with fonts or footers either if you see me doing it, i don’t always feel like doing that shit either lol

your characters are absolutely allowed to have crushes/hate feels/friend crushes/etc on or about my characters if we rp with one another! you can always chat with me first if you’d like, especially if you’re interested in developing pre-existing relationships or perspectives with our characters beforehand!

i am open to having multiple ships with my characters, many of them are polyamorous if you want to collaborate with the other writing partner who owns said oc i am open to that! If you are interested in trying out the chemistry between our ocs please feel free to ask me! i love developing connections, romance, and interpersonal relationships between ocs!! if i (or you for that matter) don’t feel the chemistry, don’t feel it anymore, or something fundamental about your character changes, don’t worry you can let me know! 

If you are sensitive to any of the topics or content i discuss on my blog(s), you are free to interact with me using my tags in your blacklist, but if that isn’t good enough i wholeheartedly encourage you to unfollow, hardblock, whatever you have to do! If you enter this space willingly, accepting and acknowledging the potential risk, i am not responsible for your feelings over it but i will not have any hard feelings myself if you choose not to interact or block me! that being said, if i am missing important trigger/content tags you can always tell me so i can fix it! we’re adults, we’re here to make art and have fun, and if it’s not fun for you anymore i encourage you to go find place you do feel safe and like you’re having fun in!

i do not tolerate ooc bigotry or bullying of any kind, and i am picky about how explicit i portray those behaviors if at all. i approach dark and more sophisticated topics with a willingness to learn and correct, nuance, respect, and compassion. if i feel like you are not doing so, i will likely let you know and/or cease to communicate depending on the situation. 

there is no "dni" for this blog outside of this ruleset here, i block racists/zionists/terfs/transphobes/transmisogyny/antisemites and other such hateful types of people with 0 hesitation or warning, i do my best to vet people myself but don't be afraid to let me know if someone harmful is interacting with me and i haven't gotten to it yet

i will add to this as i feel necessary, but if you have any questions please feel free to ask me! all in all, this is supposed to be a fun hobby and i want everyone to have a good time! roleplaying original characters is like playing with toys to me, and boyyyyy to i love to play…
