Ramble: Roleplay as a whole
Tumblr media
I've been very on the fence in the idea of what I'd like to do with my blogs long-term, I'll be honest. I try not to put too much pressure on myself to return to them, but I flip back and forth in my motivation for RP because, at the moment, it's a touchy subject.
Roleplay has taken up a significant portion of my life, and I love the collaboration of writers. I love the community, I love the creativity... I love it all.
But as much as I do love it all, I sometimes worry that my priorities aren't in order because of the way I was raised.
I was raised in a household that very much centered around internet and media being the source of all and only entertainment. Bored? Go play with toys or get on the computer. Lonely? Go play with toys or get on the computer. Mad? Well... You get the idea.
And sure, that's a fine enough idea in the moment for a pair of parents that don't have the energy to handle an ADHD child. And still, it's a comforting practice that I like partaking in.
But I think I've come to learn lately that RP isn't all there is. Meaningful connections and experiences are out there, I've just been stuck in my house so long that I've chosen not to truly recognize it. It took some very painful experiences to reflect on parts of myself as a person, and I'm still struggling to cope with some of those experiences, but I think they're useful to my knowledge of the world around me.
I want to get out more. I want to be less afraid of the world, scary though it surely is. I want to understand new perspectives and explore all there is to explore.
This doesn't necessarily mean that I'm giving up on RP as a whole, but it does mean that my processing power for the amount of threads I've accumulated is significantly slower. It means that I want to focus on what I can do as a person that writes, rather than a writer.
Maybe this self-focus is what I've needed all along. I've been expressing my struggles and conflict within my Wattpad and while it may not be the best writing to someone in an outside perspective, it's incredibly meaningful to me and it feels like the truest writing I've ever written.
Perhaps I'll crave RP again soon. Maybe I'll encourage it on a different platform like Discord. Only time will tell. But for now, I would rather get to know the people I've written with over the years on a personal level. I want to connect with the people I plot with and understand the face behind the words. It's meaningful to me.

⚠️ IMPORTANT - HIATUS
Tumblr media
Hey guys. After some reflection, I have decided that I will be taking a full and indefinite hiatus from ALL of my Tumblr blogs starting on February 24th, 2024.
I have been struggling with my mental health on and off for the past few months, and lately, Tumblr has been a primary source of stress. For now, I will be logging off of both Instagram and Tumblr and will not be logging back on for some time. I will not be sharing art, rp, or bat posts until I am ready to come back, and I will not be on any platform other than Discord. If you would like to reach out to me, my tag is fledermaus_art .
Thank you for your understanding. Please do not reblog this post if you are not one of my blogs. Commenting is fine though.

Given Matt's responses, I'm seriously tempted to leave tumblr or at least move until they make some serious changes. I'm going to test out cohost once my account is accepted, and I'll let everyone know what I think. Until then, consider all of my blogs on hiatus.

Haven't forgotten things on my blogs here! Just tired!
Hopefully I'll get to some drafts soon(ish) since I have a few days off, but today I'll be focused on drawing and gaming to sort of relax an over-worked mind. Thanks for the patience!

As much as I'd love to do things here or on my other rp blogs, I'm not much on writing motivation atm. Maybe it'll change soon, who knows — might push through and do some small stuff, might not.
I'm more art motivated rn, so catch me over on my art blog or keep an eye on my website in the meantime.

Hi, everyone. Happy New Year! 🌻
I just wanted to take a moment to spread this message on all of my blogs, as I think it's important to share, even if it's a little long and rambly.
This past year of 2023 has been a very difficult one for me, but it has also been a year of great discovery and self-exploration.
As many of you already know, this year I lost my beloved friend, Catface, and we are all still feeling the fresh loss of her absence. She was a very special, very beautiful little cat, and I'm undoubtedly going to be mourning her departure for years to come, but I take comfort in the idea that she is no longer suffering with the ailments she had toward the end.
I have seen very tumultuous relationships within my family, and witnessed much drama. I have seen the separation and cutting of ties. I have taken this for what it is and accepted it as necessary.
I began my first official job in the start of 2023. A job that, despite all odds, I am still continuing to work, which has opened endless possibilities for what else I might be capable of.
Now, more than ever, I can say that I love myself, which is something I could never say before. I may forget this at many times, but overall, I love myself and I love my identity as a man, even if there are many around me who doubt its validity.
So here's to another year of staying alive.
Here's to another year of being glad I didn't give up when I was younger and struggling with trauma.
Here's to another year of creating and exploring and discovering and rping... To new projects. I'm already advancing in self-made works such as @ableplay and possibly an AU fic of The Lion King. Here's to whatever spontaneous project I dream up alongside these in the future.
Here's to the new addition to my colony, Trike the Tricolor Bat. I have decided that he's a trans man, just like me.
Tumblr media
He was created by an INCREDIBLY talented Russian creator on Etsy known as Inna. I highly recommend their work, and I always will. Every plush they make is so lovingly hand-stitched and detailed!
Tumblr media
Cheers to another year, and cheers to The Colony. By this time next year, I hope it'll be tons bigger.
Don't forget to check my blog list to find out if you're interested in my other blogs, and don't forget how much I appreciate all of you. Your support has meant the world to me.
If you made it all the way to the end, color me impressed. I love you all.

"That sounds like a super-duper-RIFFIC idea!" The ferret grinned in approval, her tail tip swaying from side to side. "I don't even think they'd mind it — They'll be soooo happy when they see it! Just you wait! It'll be the prettiest mask in the whole world! We can put all of the colors and glitter and stickers and everything you want on it!"
It seemed, then, that it was settled — Crayon was more than happy (as per usual) to assist in such an event. If it was crafty, it was just as likely that Crayon was game for it. "I'll get the clay! We're gonna need the good stuff for this one. Play-Doh just won't cut it!"
════ ⋆★⋆ ════
Tumblr media
Gangle shrunk in on herself a bit at the other's excitement, even if she was anticipating it given what she knew about Crayon. The ribbony girl loved to draw, to create, even when she was her sorrowful self. It ... helped, sometimes. To distract herself with creating, whenever her comedy mask was broken.
Tumblr media
"W-well, I'm fine with all of those-- but if we're going to make a new mask for me, m-maybe something out of clay?" Perhaps they could even make it THICK, so that it would be less likely to break? "Then we could paint it, add things to it ... make it pretty." There was a very brief smile that tried to form on her thin lips, the thought sparking a moment of joy before she deflated a bit.
"Or do you think the others would be upset if we make a mask ourselves, since they're working to fix my old one? Oh, I don't want to upset anyone ..."

"Hi, I'm here about the interview...?"
"Is this the party?"
"I'm so sorry, I didn't see you!"
"I'm just looking for a place to lay my head."
"Hey — Hey, it's okay. I'm just here to help."
"I work alone. Period."
"How'd you get in there?"
"I thought you wouldn't make it through the night."
"You must be very strong to have been through so much."
"They always say that, you know — That it's not okay to cry. Really, it is. Sometimes it's all we have, and that's okay."
"I've never learned how to be loved."
"I bite, you know."
"Do they always treat you that way?"
"That wasn't very nice of you."
"I'm not very nice."
"Don't touch that. It isn't yours."
"You broke it...!"
"I could tear you apart if I wanted to."
"There's a saying — that grief is a burden, but also an anchor. You get used to the weight, how it holds you in place."
"It'll be better one day. It has to be."
"You know what? I've had it up to here with you!"
"I'm not overreacting! You're underreacting!"
"I've been patient for long enough."
"Something about you has my hair standing up."
"I know I have good reason to be afraid of you."

PSA for a couple of things;;
If you want to avoid me, please HARD BLOCK me. If you soft block, I may assume it was an error on Tumblr's end because Tumblr frequently has issues.
Do not use me as an aesthetic or meme resource. This has been an ongoing problem and it's frustrating.
If you do not specify which muses you are interested in on my interest checker, I cannot approach you.
I am not comfortable interacting with H*zb*n H*tel, H*ll*va B*ss, S*uth P*rk, An*im*ni*cs, or J*hnny T*st muses due to personal reasons.
I support Palestine and am anti-nazi. Those two things can and do co-exist.

Through it all, the feline remains unmoved by the display, merely pulling back and retracting his offer of help. Not that he was particularly keen on touching the other anyway... He might get dirty! Instead, he stares down with a placid expression on his face, whiskers giving a miniscule twitch and little more than that. He understands quite well what she's feeling — It's hard not to empathize when it's the exact emotions that he himself has gone through.
But he's not one for strong comforts. Emotionally constipated, one might call him.
Resting one paw on a hip, he tucks the other to his back in a more formal pose.
"I am Casen. This is the Vast Playground, discovered to be a part of this wretched world we call Able. No, we don't know why you are here. We don't know why we are here either. You will grow used to it."

IN A BLINK OF AN EYE , everything changed. the world she knew vanished from her grasp and turned into a pitch-black hole rotting in the recesses of her consciousness. darkness falls as her last breaths are FORCED out her lungs. and after that ? silence. nothing but the ground from beneath her becoming the air. and she doesn't stop drowning in the feeling.
until.
she feels as though she has been suddenly thrust back into reality after falling suddenly in a strange dream. like someone gripped the front of her shirt and THREW her at lightspeed , body flinging across the nowhere until eventually she falls like a boulder into-
breathing erratically , red-blue eyes as big as saucers the moment she jolts up into a sitting position. everything was too bright , too much , too fast and oh , god where was she ? what was happening ? !
she quickly looked around , trembling in this form of her's , before she eventually saw the shadow casting over her. and once she looks up , she's greeted by an UNFAMILIAR face. once the blurriness in her eyes started to dissipate when she blinks , the orange form in front of her got clearer and clearer.
the cat. was. speaking to her.
what in the name of- !
Tumblr media
❛ wh-what . . . ? ! wh-where . . . where- ❜
she immediately enters panic mode. practically curling in on herself as he begins speaking. once he KINDLY brought his hand to her , she kept both of her own close to her chest , scooting back ever so slightly. confused , and also , terrified to her very core.
❛ who are you ? wh-where am i- what is this place ? ? ❜
