Okay, I have hit my absolute fucking limit.

Nothing pisses me off more than someone whose only reason for not plotting with a particular muse is that they don’t find the fc attractive. I put hours, sometimes days of thought into each and every one of the 40+ muses on my page, and I will be damned if the faceclam I picked is the only reason they don’t interest you. If I could get myself out of my drawing slump and draw pieces of art for every single one of them I guarantee I would, but I choose to use faceclaims as a matter of convenience. Hell, half of my muses look very different when i describe them as opposed to the actor or model i picked as their proxy visual aid.

Do you know how creepy it sounds? I’m not here to play out some fantasy about a faceclaim, I’m here to write original (or canon) characters the way I picture them, and it feels like all you’re here to do is picture two actors fucking. There is a reason I try to use pretty obscure faceclaims.

i’m an adult, i can take it. i would much rather you tell me you aren’t into me than lead me on. i honestly don’t mind if you need to unfollow me, even block me. but just remember that i put a lot of love and effort into my muses and it is incredibly discouraging to come on this blog sometimes.

Listen, this isn’t against anyone in particular, just an observation from several conversations I’ve had since making this blog — I can tell when you’ve only looked at the faces on my muse page and not scrolled through the info. I know ymmv when it comes to kinks and to each their own but I’m finding myself changing my muses time and again to omit things the other person isn’t into. While in itself this is not an issue, since I am a versatile writer and enjoy what I do, I feel like if it’s removing an entire facet of their character or personality to suit someone else, maybe I’m not the partner for you. Following just to read is fine.

Please read my muses’ entire bio and my rules before IMing to plot. Please read a few threads in their tag if you’re curious about something not expanded on in their bio. I put a lot of work into these characters and their stories.

Just a little thing because even when no one has mentioned it I sometimes get anxious about it:

One of the reasons I start a lot of threads is to see what grabs my interest. I'm not always going to have a spark for a thread -- some threads are just duds. That isn't on any of my partners or on me, it's just the way creativity works. I will never deliberately drop a thread without letting you know, and if I do seem to simply stop replying to something you were invested in, I welcome OOC IMs and make my s.kype and k.ik available so we can talk about it. Maybe we rewrite the starter. Maybe we reuse the plot with other muses.
