guidelines

  001.    this is an independent, private, mutually exclusive canon divergent blog for stefan salvatore from the vampire diaries novels. i am not associated to matthew daddario, lj smith. all the writing on this blog belongs to me. icons are only edited by me, not originally made by me unless stated otherwise.  

  002.   do not bother to send me messages telling me i am using the wrong faceclaim. this is my version of stefan, written the way i envision him. a show verse is available but interactions with it will be limited. do not try to tell me how i should see, write my muse. 

  003.   my name is sylas ( may also be spelt as silas, if you insist ) and my pronouns are he / him, they / them. i am in the gmt +1 timezone ( based in the uk ) and am over the age of twenty one. i have discord available upon request and am open to writing there too. i have been around tumblr for a very long time, so many of you have been with me across many blogs. i watch/watched many tv shows and movies, which makes all sorts of crossovers possible, so don’t be afraid to reach out and suggest something new. if you are expecting me to follow the character to the ’t’ without any sort of own spin, research and/or development, please do not follow. 

  004.   stefan salvatore comes from a novel that depicts themes such as alcohol, grief, trauma, firearms, death, blood, violence, to mention a few. with this being said, i will not tag most of these themes. rape and sexual abuse will never be depicted nor written on this blog. if you are uncomfortable with the mention of those themes, please do not follow. 

  005.   i have always been extremely open to interacting with everyone, even those who did not follow me back or we were not following each other at all, but to maintain my sanity, my blog clean and to be able to remain productive on all grounds, i will only reply back and write with mutuals going forward. i get overwhelmed if i have 50+ replies and naturally, that drives me away from here because i don’t want to let anyone down and no one wants that. i am always open to chatting and plotting. if i follow you, that means i 100% want to write with you, so do not be afraid to send memes or approach me. if you are no longer interested in writing with me, i ask that you softblock me so that i am aware of your intention. no questions will be asked if you wish to stop our interactions. 

  006.   this blog is medium to low activity. it may be high activity at times due to inspiration, but it will mostly follow the activity mentioned above. i work and may not always have the time or be in the head space to write long replies or any replies. i also struggle with my mental health which often leads to some time off of tumblr. please be patient with me. i save everything to my drafts and the moment inspiration comes through to reply to your thread in a way i am satisfied with it, i will do so.  

  007.   i reserve every right to ignore some memes. sometimes, i get far too many of the same meme from similar characters and when that happens, i pick the one my muse connects with most to reply to. i also can get quite a lot of memes in one go, so leaving some i don’t have much to go off of or cannot find inspiration to write ensures that i am able to keep in touch with my muses and continue writing. 

  008.   smut may occur if i am comfortable with the other mun and the circumstances arise, otherwise, it will not take place at all because i feel more comfortable writing other themes. 

mun does not support j.k.rowling, julie plec and other problematic producers, writers. this blog is lgbtqia+ friendly, and so is the mun who is a proud member of the lgbtqia+ community. if you do not support or respect it, do not follow. i refrain from all politics, religious themes both as a mun and on the blog. mun is also neurodivergent, so please be mindful and patient.
