So first, let me introduce myself... I’m Alana, I am 30+ years old, and I’m from Scotland (GMT timezone).
RULE ONE. This is a selective blog. Meaning I will only follow first if I can see us interacting and I will only follow back if you have a visible mun age shown either on your description or in your pinned post/rules; a set of rules and a muse page with at least basic details for your muse. I will not follow if you do not cut posts (small exception made currently for legacy to beta difficulties), only do one-liners, post a tonne of OOC posts and very little to no rping or a load of negativity.
RULE TWO. Given that this blog will include dark themes and topics, this blog is 18+ only. There will be dark themes throughout this blog. Triggering topics will frequently appear on this blog; I will try to tag them all, but some may fall through the cracks. Ones that will always be tagged will be abuse, suicide mentions, assault mentions, drug abuse, etc. All tagged triggers will have the format ‘trigger tw’, except for smut which will just be tagged ‘nsfw’ and/or under a read more.
For those who want to avoid anything Harry Potter / Wizarding World related, I have a blockable tag!
#wizarding world things tw
RULE THREE. In terms of shipping, I love shipping, but please please please, don’t force ships. I’m all about chemistry and I really enjoy build up to a ship.
All ships are in their own verses unless discussed. I just don’t see my characters cheating. That being said, don’t be afraid to tell me if you ship something! 100% of the time; I likely will too. Telling me you ship something isn’t forcing a ship..
RULE FOUR. As I'm 25+, smut will likely happen on this blog however, as someone who demi-sexual and just an awkward trash panda to begin with. I need to feel 100% comfortable with my writing partner before that kind of thing happens.
RULE FIVE. There is no conditions to romantic shipping with my female muses. However if you’d like a romantic ship with my male muses, you have to at least interact with my female muses. It is really frustrating when my female muses are ignored for even platonic interactions in favour of the male muses/fc that people want to ship with. As such pre-established shipping with any of my males or instashipping form the start needs to be talked about prior (unless a major canon ship) and later meet the condition of interacting with my female muses - and look, I get how hard it is to get ships with male muses and interaction feel like gold dust at time and I’m happy to give those interactions to people, just not at the expense of my own female muses.
RULE SIX. No godmodding. No metagaming. Pretty self explanatory. Just no controlling my muse, no having your muse knowing stuff just because you know it, etc. This also extends to if your muse is a powered individual that the power or abilities in someway would control my muse - please speak to me first before anything happens so I can green light it or not.
RULE SEVEN. I will unfollow a blog after inactivity for over a month or two, for main rp partners with sideblogs, this can be extended out a bit but for the most part, I will unfollow, but I am happy to re-follow if you become active again, just let me know!
This will also apply to blog that post a lot of OOC stuff but haven't written an RP reply (to anyone) in that same timespan.
If I don't softblock/hardblock, then an unfollow is likely due to tumblr being a dumblr or you've bene inactive and I'm happy to follow again once you are active again.
RULE EIGHT. Triggers - I do have some stuff that makes me a little uncomfortable but I curate my own dash experience and use tumblr's blacklist content/tag filtering liberally. In terms of triggers/general ick's or stuff I just don't want to see, I use tumblr's tag and content filters.
The main thing that makes me uncomfortable are specific ships that I will not write or acknowledge even in passing in threads or on my blog at all. This only applies to any threads with me..
Teen Wolf: Stydia
ACOTAR: Elriel
I don't mind you shipping/writing/mentioning these ships with other writing partners! We all like different things and that's great!!!! It's just, for me, these particular ships are highly triggering for me in terms of my anxiety, and I don't want even mentions of them on my blog.
This works both ways - if there is any ships I write that make YOU uncomfortable, I am 100% willing to write threads with you where that ship does not exist and will never mention that ship in our threads, so just let me know!
RULE NINE. PLEASE, please, please… always reblog meme’s or musing posts from the source and not from my blog. It is so discouraging getting excited for notifications just to realise that someone is using you as a glorified resource blog - especially people who never interact, non-mutuals and personal blogs. I don’t mind people if the source is deleted or if I've tagged them in something. Non-mutuals will be blocked instantly.
RULE TEN. When sending in meme's or liking starter calls of mine - I will love you for all eternity for specifying which of my muses / which of yours (if a fellow mumu) you're wanting for the interaction. I'm an awkward trash panda and if you don't specify or say 'for anyone' I will 500% worry that I'm giving you a muse that you won't want to interact with.
RULE ELEVEN.. Any spam/porn bots who follow or interact with any of my posts will be reported and hardblocked on sight.
RULE TWELVE. Have fun. RPing is a hobby, not a job. If you're not feelings something, feel free to drop it, we can always start something else. I won't be mad honestly. You don't even need to let me know to be frank.
EXTRA.. This blog will NOT be spoiler free.
TV shows will be tagged with spoiler tags for a week after an episode airs, 2 weeks for series (like with Netflix) which are bulk dropped.
Movies will be tagged with spoiler tags for 2 weeks after a movie is released publically either for rental or on streaming subscriptions.
Books and video games will be tagged with spoiler tags for 2 months post release/publication date.
This will also apply to gifset for newly released media, unless it's from a trailer.
