#kingverse

just putting out feelers- if i put out a very long substack post breaking down the dynamics & queer coding & my general thoughts about reddie through the 3 canons would anyone be even remotely interested??

NOS4A2 --- easily one of the most canonly cross over works of Joe Hill ; Stephen King’s own son. Yet no one who role plays the King characters and the verses they interweave, wishes to interact or take interest for plausible future installments of the main antagonist within that story. The very same whom was mentioned in the beginning of Doctor Sleep. Which can be said in same with NOS4A2 making a flurry of easter egg mentions custom to Derry, Maine and Pennywise along with the True Knot in this shared union between father and son. Am I annoyed ? A lil.  Saddened  ?  I’d be lying to you if I said no. I mean, I’ve been trying for a year and a half to get a good crossover going. Sure , I understand that some people just don’t want to take on new partners. Or their real life suddenly prevents them from taking on new partners. I get that. Boy ! do I ever. I’ll be one to admit my mental state often makes me anxious to interact with anyone and everyone on here. Am I underwhelming them ?  Or am I overwhelming them ?  Am I a bother ?  Am I just a pity call ?  Thoughts that I often get overwhelmed and sometimes shut down completely over until a day or two later.  The point is, I still interact. I don’t shun people and I often try to let them know of my mental state as often as I can. That I’m not perfect nor am I fast. That if I add you, I am 101% interested in role playing with your muse(s) not keeping you as some number. My complaint at it’s whole is toward those who plead for new partners but literally don’t give your ass a chance to showcase a single paragraph. Yeah, it’s their right to refuse whoever they wish without reason.  Sure, but it’s also my right to express my concerns within a fandom that is often low in numbers as is. How does one grow without word of mouth ? The book is done.  The show ran it’s course, though shorter than we all would have liked. It’s literally up to us, the psychos , the fans that just won’t let go, to spread that obsession around like an infectious bite out of love. So yes, it both saddens and annoys me that more often than not the role play community on tumblr never wishes to take a gamble anymore on the unfamiliar. To get acquainted with a character that quite possibly could work out for them and their muse. It’s like playing tag .. but with yourself. Or being the only one left for a team already low in numbers and still not getting plucked from the side lines. I play with characters I have no idea about almost every chance I get, cause you know.. I read their about section.  Treat them like I would an original character, get to know them through how the mun portrays them.  You know, what role play is intended to be at it’s core  ? Or rather what it use to be.  It’s often through those muns that my interest grows and I take to looking up books or films/series ; the very story that originated their character. Hell, most of us are willing to work with our partners to make them more comfortable. It’s growth. We don’t get that much nowadays..
