🌸 the blog/s that most inspires me

i know how cop-out it's gonna sound if i say all my mutuals inspires me INCLUDING ESPECIALLY YOU NESO. but it's just true. why else would i follow them if that weren't the case ?? but in any case, here's a spotlight on a few who really just make my muse and author brain go brrr, and why:

@koschyei ( + @lebedevya / @alucinore ). i don't know what i could possibly say that i haven't already atp. cali and i had a shotgun wedding back in august and im still trying to figure out how to tell my husband abt it. same brain worms, same heart, one of my favorite writers (i can never rank them, so i just have a collection of 5-10 total faves), and my favorite world-builder by far. prolly gotta be one of the best on this entire website too. endlessly inspires me. makes me feel like i could write forever. i love her i love her i love her i loooooove her my rp soulmate frrr.

@azarathian (+ @maskg ). really close, careful characterizations. everything civi does on raven / mo mi makes it so easy for me to imagine a million places our dynamics could go. raven and adella in particular are very. pink gf purple gf trope and i love it sm. but our own personal dynamic-building aside, i'm just an immense fan of civi's narration, and how she curates her blogs to translate exactly to you, the reader, how the characters are supposed to make you feel ?? she always has something interesting to say abt psychology in every one of her threads (yes i . .. . read them all ... like a hungry dog). and she's one of the sweetest ppl on this entire website too and i luuuv her.

@blacknighted. said this before, will say it again, dean's got some of the best, most unique and freshest writing styles on this entire website, and i been here a looong time, so i consider myself a good judge! makes me wanna be a better writer, inspires me every time i see it on dash and also when i write with him.

@nexusbeing. vibes immaculate since day one. mind numbingly gorgeous writing style. evocative. rlyyyyy sexy. psychotic. just inhabits wanda so well; i started loving wanda through layilil, so that just goes to show the power of her ability to build love and care like that from scratch. i just know she's a big inspiration for me because i felt like i was going insane writing a starter for her a week or two ago, the specific type of brain rot where the words just start flying off the page.

@veilhouse ( + @dvaurga / @luckstole ). echoing similar thoughts to how civi makes me feel through her blogs, cora's blogs are just. a master class in understanding how to curate character aura and beaming it right into your brain. they give you soo much to work with across all their blogs, that when i'm writing stuff for them it's so easy to just dive in. i don't have to sit there and wrack my brain for a million hours to figure out the hook, which just goes to show that cora is an excellent /rper/, not just an excellent writer. i feel like their blogs are just. an incredible playground to explore and know intimately and love each and every one of their characters.

@melniibone ( + @domusmortis). flint's got one of the biggest brains here. i'm so serious. INCREDIBLE, engaged plotter with incredible ideas. range is insanely good. passionate about their craft, world building, and word painting. exaaactly the type of writer i vibe with, especially when it comes to horror. it feels like true rp, energetic, improv back and forth where we're both being so active about taking the story somewhere interesting. a gem in this rpc tbh. i def don't want my dash to ever not have flint's presence.

@wiedzlak. i mentioned it a couple times here but the witcher series (books / games) is so incredibly precious to me, and geralt is by far my favorite character and one of my favorite characters of all time. i admire and love everything kat is doing on her blog. how closely she looks at geralt, how her passion is shown through every single one of her threads. such a strong hold over geralt's voice and brain and general isms. forever and ever follow fr.

what i shouldn't have done was fall asleep while waiting.

i have only been here a fortnight and already, my mind had rewired itself to play, with an unsettling sense of automation that was beyond my own control and instinct, the sound of aunt's voice [ low yet clear, measured yet cutting ] chastising me for my carelessness, my incompetence. my claws scrabbled against the warm hardwood floors as i jerked out of my sudden, deep slumber. muscle memory pulled at my form as if i'd transformed somehow in my sleep from fox to puppet, a thing of real, pulsating blood and energy.. to nothing but a limp mass of cheap cotton balls covered in a shabby pelt of matted dirty white fur. i felt odd, unkempt in a way, and i could smell my own sharp panic in the air. looking around wildly, i tried to get a sense of where i was in time and space: had the day expired while i slept? were we past midnight? had i missed her — nova?

crawling out of the small pocket of realm - shadow i had kicked up for myself, as a hiding spot, as a shroud, then, evidently, as a roost and blanket, i stretched and i shrunk. bones turned in their sockets and flesh rippled; i tossed back my head and gave the still - lengthening muscles in my neck another spin about my shoulders, the groan slipping my past lips as much a sound of relief as it was my frustration. in this house, there were no clocks. not that i needed one to tell the time, but it would've simplified things. ( humanized them, you mean. ) the house was empty, surely, and i had failed. the house seemed to mock me, tilting slightly in its energy, a near - imperceptible shift in the soundscape, as if someone was lightly, nigh - impossibly lightly, stepping down the stairs—

WHO THE HELL IS THIS, and what the fuck have they done with nova.

teddy wonders if someone has brainwashed nova and turned her — cuddly, soft? if she is somehow possessed by a really needy demon? if someone has threatened to break into her house and destroy all her lego builds UNLESS she voluntarily hugs teddy? if she's tripped on a rogue shirt while stealing all his hoodies, hit her head, and lost her memory?

he backs away very quickly, hands in front of him as if warding off an angry goose.

Here,  however,  the fox did have but a single,  severe demand: when it is only you and I,  little one,  there will be no façades.

A tall order,  perhaps.   But in the fox’s eyes   —  it was only right.   To the rest of this cruel and poisoned world,  the young fox could be whoever,  whatever she needed or wanted to be;   none of them were owed her true face,  much less deserving it.   But in the company of only each other,  honesty was owed.   The fox did not intend to hide from her own kin;  was it truly strict that she demanded the same in return?

THERE'S A SHIMMER IN YOUR EYES, / @hen2-437

the little one shot back. Hyeonju did not smile,  but neither did she frown.   Her gaze held steady on the dark, dark hair slipping through her fingers as she brushed it.  She had expected some resistance.  There was a hardness about the girl and this,  she did not mind.   All the better to break the teeth of any foolish creature that dared to bite down.     “   It is not a disguise.   That you can see it means I am not hiding. Remove your hands from the water.   ”

Hen 2-437

Hen 2-437 is a planetary nebula in the Milky Way, located towards the constellation Vulpecula, the Fox. Some 3000 planetary nebulae have been found within our galaxy, many with the more characteristic spherical shape but some with “bipolar” jets like Hen 2-437.

Planetary nebula form at the end of a medium (Sun-sized) star’s life. After running out of fuel and expanding into a red giant star, it emits its outer layers and shrinks into a white dwarf. Radiation and stellar winds from the core star shape and illuminate the cast off material, creating stunning nebulae.

⭐️ my roleplay pet peeves

very little truly bothers me at my ripe old age of 31, apart from the obvious. but someee things annoy me a little i guess, like:

expecting someone to reply to you if they're online and getting offended if they don't. no one owes you ASAP responses. people need space and time to think and even gather energy. it's not personal. things can just get really overwhelming here / draining fast and we're all trying our best.

communicate if you have problems with anything related to rp, if a starter doesn't work for you, etc. it's not easy to communicate about tougher things or being honest about what you want but it's worth it. building a real rp partnership takes communication and time, and sometimes hard conversations and a realization that we might not be in-sync this way, and how can we make it better? and when you're out the other end of it, your muse will be SO high and you'll make incredible stories together. it just takes the effort.

💚 whose writing speaks the most to me

@koschyei @koschyei @koschyei <3 she already knows the full extent of it but. as if that's gonna stop me from saying it another way all over again !!! i'm so endlessly inspired by everything cali writes, whether it's with me or with anyone else, i'm suuuch a lover of it all. it's been a while since i felt this way about a rp partner tbh !! and it's waaay more than just writing i like and vibe with, it certainly is writing that speaks to me. that inspires me to really deep in my character and thought process and try to match her level of creativity and thinking !! she has such a lush, velvety, fairytale, romantic, dark, alluring, brooding style that alone is enough to enrapture you. i'm constantly wondering how she thought of her ideas, certain phrases, etc. all throughout her prose.

but !! BUT !! that's only just the first layer of her writing. yes, it's beautiful, yes it's vibey, yes it's a delight to read to the point that every time i near the end of whatever she's written i get sad and experience withdrawal symptoms lmfaooo ... but when you go deeper you can easily see just how reflective it is of the fact that she is sooooo well-researched, passionate, intelligent, and talented. her deep fascination with mythologies of all kinds and how it is influenced by as well as actively shapes the cultures they're tied to really comes through in all her writing. throughout her accounts, she's exploring and saying such profound themes about humanity, failures and achievements, the human body in all of its emotional and physical capabilities, and the desperate need to figure out where we fit alongside myths and the general cosmos. she's thinking of really grand themes, lots of unique, stylistic layering, the music of language, grief, love, loss, desperation, panic ... and it all gets seamlessly packaged together in beautiful prose every single time ?? like she literally never misses ONCE.

positivity hour. ♡
