This might be the only occasion to talk about it, and It's no secret that her and I stopped talking more than ~1year ago, so here we go
Some of my personal experience with Zwei and her modding gatekeeping / monopol
For some reasons, my guts told me to screencap our very last conversation, right before she blocks me and wipe our DMs, and looking back now I'm glad I did
▶ You can find the conversation here
Please read the post for more context:
This is the only screenshot I have of the drama, provided by a friend, I have since left that server (you should be able to find it with the search option tho)
Important to note that live in Europe, meaning my timezone is CET
Zwei and I weren't up at the same time
Back in September 2022, a Drama happened in the Modding Server
Tumblr media
Anec, the guy who can be seen on the screenshot, and who initially asked about the glowing eyes in the server, shared this imgur album with Zwei DMs as well back in 2022
I was asleep when it all happened, waking up to Zwei accusing me in DMs of being involved in it
The day before, a fellow modder asked me if they could make a mod similar to my old Player Replacer that would involve Photomode, asking me for help on the matter too; I gave them the greenlight and told me to ask NoraLee, as I do not have much knowledge on Photomode itself
So when I saw Zwei's DMs I assumed it was about this encounter, but I quickly understood that it wasn't the case
I later went to NoraLee's DMs to ask them what that whole "glowing eyes" stuff was all about, and thankfully got more context (and confirmation that Zwei was once again trying to gatekeep mods ideas)
Now I want to mention some details and explain a lil bit more, especially about the Scenerids bit here
That's about it for the whole context on the last convo I had with her
Tumblr media
One day, Zwei asked me in DMs about Scenerids Animations, and where I was with my digging; She wanted to share the knowledge with Deceptious, a new guy (at the time) who was making all kind of cool mods, if there was one guy that could find how to grab them, it was him
For the lil story, Scenerids animation were something I always wanted to figure out, way back in 2021 even
When I was still in AMM, we were making progress on the matter with the help of a fellow modder; the goal was always to make them, and the knowledge, public
So I did, I jumped into his next stream, and yeah the guy was impressive with his method. In the stream chat, I asked him about Scenerids animations, we chatted a bit more and he seemed interested, said something along the lines of "it shouldn't be too complicated" - I went to bed after his stream ended
Excited, I told her all I knew back then
She also told me that Deceptious was doing streams in the Modding Server and that I should come by and check what he does
Next morning, I woke up to Deceptious sharing videos of Zwei's V, in the modding server, doing Alt's animations from her romance scene in the middle of Tom's Diner; he had it figured out during the night
So I went to his DMs, asking him how he did it, and got a somewhat cold reply; not unexpected, nothing to overthink at the time. I asked Zwei as well- I wanted to know, and to me it seemed only ""fair"" considering I ""helped"" with the whole thing
It all spiraled from there; Zwei would told me the "secret" ONLY if I kept the knowledge to myself. I somehow got involved in a ""modding ring"" involving Zwei, SilverEz (can't remember his full name, the owner of the Modding Server) and Deceptious
Zwei and I would extract the animations from the Scenerids files; She would work with SilverEz to release them for PMU, and I would release them as AMM packs
At first, I had to wait until Zwei's packs were published to publish my own mods; nobody would keep me updated on WHEN they would hit live, so I had to rush my own modpages to release them for AMM simultaneously
It was a lot of unecessary stress. One day, I asked SilverEz directly if I could just release the packs as I was making them? And he told me something along the lines of "Yes, of course, it's your mods you do whatever"
Anyway, the scenerids stuff happened back in October 2022, but that's when I started to be even more cautious of her. It wasn't the first time something rubbed me wrong, of course not, multiple instances happened on a lot of different things, but I do not want to share it publicly since I do not have any screenshots to prove it
I was so confused- I thought he said he wanted me to wait until the PMU releases? But no, it was just Zwei's lies/manipulations/whatever
(Important to know that everything was going on by her, I was sending her the files, and she would share knowledge with me from Deceptious and SilverEz if needed)
Fast forward to the "Glowing Eyes" drama, which happened in September 2022
As said at the begining of the post, this was our last conversation, both in DMs and in public. I noticed a mood shift in the Modding Sever; most of the people here were either her friends or fanboys
Zwei and I were ignoring each others, but I quickly noticed Deceptious was also ignoring me
I decided to confront him in DMs about it, that's when I noticed he wiped all of his DMs
Tumblr media
That's something we all know now that Zwei does a lot- so it had to be her, somehow telling him to wipe his DMs with me
I felt my blood go cold; Deceptious was someone I looked up to, his knowledge was really impressive and I wish I could've learned more modding from him somehow, but anyway
Seeing this, I rushed to Zwei's DMs to tell her to basically fuck off, to stop draging others into her bullshit- and that's when I noticed I was blocked, I couldn't send anything, but most importantly, her DMs were slowly being deleted
Now, I should've done a quick back up of everything, there's a lot of script that exist to extract full logs or to wipe them out. I didn't know about such scripts back then
I decided to ask around for the script she uses, called "Undiscord", wanting to give her a taste of her own medicine
Tumblr media
So I was sitting here, watching her bulk delete her dms, as I was bulk deleting my own. Yes, it looks really fucking dumb and cringe lmao
And that's about it, really, that's how it all went down
▶ Pre-Shooting random questions
❓ Why did you compared her to Wing
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Wingdeer is another person who is known to harass others for doing similar "Inversed Cross" makeup and cyberware, it happened a couple of times now. Zwei never liked her, despite modeling a lot of her mods; I thought comparing her to Wing would snap her out of her bullshit
❓ Isn't it hypocrite of you to say you're against gatekeeping?
Tumblr media
"Gatekeeping" is when someone actively harass others for liking/doing/having something that they like/do/have, like Zwei (with hair color/makeup/rockergirl style) and Wingdeer (with reversed cross mods) for example I never harassed anyone, all I ever did was blocking people People taking a block as a personal attack is not my problem, and shouldn't be turned into general fandom drama

Okay, this is gonna sound like a real dumb ask, but I just sorta need the sanity check on this. I've got a friend who hated the Marvels but thinks the Barbie movie was the best feminist movie ever made. Am I being an ass by being COMPLETELY squicked out by these reactions??? Because it just feels super hinky and Not Good? As far as opinions go. Like...I don't know, it feels wrong. Also, she loved Black Panther but said that the women in it weren't given good characterization and idk writing this out made me realize I probably need to drop this person from my life.
Would that make me an ass? (I'm asking the mods here because I feel like, as someone who's white, I am WAY outta my depth on my analysis of this situation but I could be right that her preferences feel/are lowkey racist.)
So ok first of all I'm not black and I do have lightskinned privilege (mestiza latina). I say that because I invite my co mod who is Black to weigh in on this and all our Black followers to weigh in too.
One thing that you could do is maybe start updating any social media this friend is on with stuff about racialized misogyny/misogynoir. Specifically like this video that I made with the help of a Black friend.
youtube
I personally don't know if you have the energy to watch Black Panther 2 with her but like I get saying that the women in the first Black Panther were underwritten (by white feminism standards at least I personally loved them all and I particularly enjoyed that T'challa respected all the women in his life).
Like ok I haven't seen Barbie but honestly it really pissed me off that it seems to have been trying to fill like quotas for diversity instead of making a genuine effort to center woc. Like ok there's this post on tumblr with screencaps of life size (which was a disney movie about a doll that comes to life to help her owner) and the point is that Tyra Banks starred as the doll. It was made in 2000 and like honestly??? Why is it that we couldn't have had someone like Ella Balinska as Barbie?
Tumblr media
She's tall she's statuesque and she totally deserves a shot at a hit movie. (also ngl she reminds me of Tyra Banks in Life Size).
Anyways I'm getting off topic...
Basically what I'm trying to say is that yes cutting off this so called friend is an option. but you can't just get rid of her without trying to show her the error of her ways. if you don't try to teach her how she's wrong she might never learn how to unpack her privilege and become an ally she'll become one of those Karens that calls the cops on Black people for simply existing in her presence!
Like I know this is asking a lot but consider for once what it's like to see white people give up on their racist friends and family and not even try to teach them how to do better??? if you want to know how to be an ally this is how you do it!!! you put the work in to teach your friend to be a better person.

Loving BG3 so far but sort of taking my time during this first week or two. Why?
(1) Adult life requires me to be an adult. Can only play a few evenings per week.
(2) I neeeeeeed some UI mods and some character creation mods, and I am (telling myself that) not going to modding for BG3 (ha!) in order to get what I need asap.
(3) There is so much that happens during the first 6-10 hours of game play that it is okay with me to replay it yet again. I'll catch more tidbits. (I'm not super familiar with this world so I'm fine see the same thing more than once during these initial hours).
I wish there was a full photomode for BG3.
Not sure if I am ready to deal with game-breakage from mods but i'm starting to have itchy fingers and might end up spending some of the weekend messing with mods and seeing where it takes me. (Thankfully I screencapped all my starting character stats when I respec'ed my character so creation will be fast and easy)
Anyhow. As of today -- mods that interest me that have just dropped or were recently updated:
Role playing goodness:
- A chest full of fabric dyes/recoloring kits: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/794
- Black nail polish: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/637
- Honey's Hair Kitchen (still a WIP) looks helpful for my OC: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/293
- Switch Wing Liner Makeup Edits: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/763
- And either Faces of Faerun for alt heads: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/429
- Or Other Heads for Your Character: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/250
- Camp Clothing: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/744
- Basket Full of Equipment: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/744
UI necessities that I expect in a game:
- WASD movement (HELL YES -- can be reprogrammed to other keys): https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/781
- Improved Camera movement: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/742
- Or alternatively, Better Camera movement: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/728
- Or, instead, BG3 Camera Mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/693
- Toggle Tooltips (rather than pressing ALT): https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/723
And, if I make the mistake of heading over to the dark side:
- Padme's BG3 tutorials and modding resources: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/132
- Padme's Blender Add-ons: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/346
Oh, and one modder ported Ciri's clothing from Witcher 3 -- don't need this right now but it leaves me curious on how difficult/time consuming this process is: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/519

Good evening trainers, I hope everyone has had a good and safe Halloween ! Remember to double check for any hidden needles or non consumable items in your candy !
With that being said, I am glad to announce that I will be moving the blog forward. Officer Jenny will be dearly missed, but I wish the best for her in her promotion.
I do plan on re-decorating the blog and making a new promo for the blog once I have the time and energy, and I do continue to plan to use the border / slightly edit the icons just so people will recognize where did the icons come from. New banners will be coming along soon with the blog moving forward, and I do plan on going back to a queue system. The blog will continue to be a suggestions based only and will be updated at my own leisure. I am currently looking for someone I know and trust who wouldn’t mind being a co-mod for this blog, but other than that it’s going to be just me from here on out.
I do plan to hopefully open a thing if trainers truly want to; they can donate their icons/screencaps/screenshots to this blog. I’m not sure how i’m going to do that just yet, be it in a form, sending it by email, or such. This is of course not going to be a requirement-- just a thing that will be there if any of our trainers would like to donate.
Thank you to all the trainers who decided to stick around and show their support for this passion project of a blog, I hope you continue to support it for the future. ♡

I realized that I haven't been keeping y'all updated on my Expansionism world, so I popped into spectator mode real quick to get some screencaps.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
My home base is deceptively small. It doesn't yet have a roof because I'm waiting until I can get my hands on some dark oak. The front entrance barely pokes out of the side of this large hill, but the full base extends back and down underground. Living that dwarf life.
I just finished adding in a small farm plot room to grow crops I haven't made better farms for yet. Because I want to sell melons to my farmer villager but I haven't grown any yet.
Tumblr media
This terraced farmland is technically an auto-farm! ...but it's so inefficient, I'm tempted to rip the tracks that are under it back out and make proper autofarms elsewhere. But appearance-wise it's a good start.
Tumblr media
The farmhouse is a little bit plain but I decided to let it stand rather that fuss over it and delay my villager breeding. I can get fancier as I expand. And honestly, that sounds kind of nice? Buildings that get more elaborate and developed as I work my way outward from the core?
Also my first golem spawned up there. To kill, or not to kill? ...I should probably make an iron farm soon.
Tumblr media
The smithy is still under construction. It doesn't have a roof yet! The lava in the back doesn't look quite as nice as I wanted because I had to put an iron grate in front to villager-proof it so the testificates can't just incinerate themselves.
I've already disassembled 3 local villages and brought all the materials home. I'm regretting a little that I didn't look for some mod or datapack that would have caused villages to not spawn. I could turn off structures but I don't want to get rid of everything else, just the villages. I want my ever-expanding town to be the only one in the world.
I guess I'll just keep having to destroy the rest as I approach them. I don't just expand, I devour.

Sorry this post is so goddamn long, RIP if you're in a browser that's not processing the read more. Rhis is just easier for me since Tumblr tends to eventually break links that you add to pages now, meaning I can't use blog pages anymore :/
I try to reblog essentially anything from any fandom that's icon-able, but I do have some hard limits and won't reblog/find content for Sōuth Park, Attâck on Titan, Hãzbin Hotel/Hélluva Boss, DreamSMP, or any media revolving around p*dophilia or inc*st. That being said, I'm not all-knowing: If it seems like I'm endorsing something shitty, message me about it, because I might not have known. Also, I'm aware Homestuck does suck ass, but for now I'm okay reblogging/linking it since I see so many rewrites and reclamations.
[You may also be interested in the banned tag. Many times, artists that people previously used art from for icons turn out to be nasty people (transphobes, racists, etc.)]
Make sure to link back and credit folks when you make icons. If someone spent the time to make something transparent, scan it in, etc - Credit them!! They deserve that.

i've been in the mood to play mass effect since yesterday and so i thought i'd actually get around to playing it today. i went onto nexusmods to see if there were any new or existing mods that i never got around to downloading and / or any that needed updating. and i've gotta say that i'm truly ecstatic that i'm slowly, but surely, being able to achieve the dream of being able to do a full on playthrough damn near similar to how my fanfic runs for damien.
i also have some great news! i officially have all of the screencaps i need to make my icons for damien so maybe, just maybe, i'll actually roleplay on here in the somewhat near future! but considering my record on saying such words on here that i'd advise you to not take it for granted. rip.

TIM REREADS HOMESTUCK PART 1: PAGES 0-21
In which John messes around in his room for a bit, and I discover maybe the only reason for me to regret switching to a more privacy-focused web browser.
Liveblog Archive
First, while I wait for the Unofficial Homestuck Collection’s asset pack to finish downloading, some housekeeping to get out of the way:
First off, this is my fourth time reading Homestuck. Wait. Actually. Hang on. Is it my fifth? I’m writing this paragraph as I think this over, this isn’t a bit, I’m genuinely not sure. I guess I’m gonna have to go over it one reading at a time:
I was a serial reader, first catching up close to the end of Act 6 Act 6 Intermission 2 in 2013.
I read it all the way through for the first time in 2016, a couple months after it ended.
THIS is the one I wasn’t sure about. I feel like I remember rereading it in 2018? But I’m not really sure. I was thinking of looking way back in my browser history to check but I recently switched from Chrome to Firefox and can’t conveniently check on my desktop and mobile chrome doesn’t let you filter your history by date.
Another reread in 2020 because I was feeling nostalgic for it during initial covid lockdowns, appropriately I started on 4/13 this time around.
So there you have it, this is at least my fourth read-through of Homestuck.
Next up, the structure of this series of posts. My intent here is for this to eventually be a dialog of sorts with the podcast I’ve been listening to, Homestuck Made This World (I’ll just be referring to it as “the podcast“ from here on to keep things from getting too bloated). So first, I’ll be catching up to the point in the comic they’re covering (currently in the early parts of Act 6, about halfway through the comic). I’ll be publishing posts like this one as I go every couple days, whenever I feel like I’ve written enough. After I’ve caught up to the podcast, I’ll publish one post covering the same material that’ll be covered in the next episode, unless that makes the posts too long, in which case I’ll split it up into multiple posts. We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it. I’ll be tagging each post “#tim rereads homestuck” for convenient searching (or blacklisting) and will be keeping an archive post updated to make it easy to jump from one post to another.
As I alluded to above, since Flash is dead I’ll be using the Unofficial Homestuck Collection. This is essentially an app that lets you read the whole comic in a sort of offline browser of sorts, making Flash and other elements that may be unsupported in modern browsers work as intended. It has some features to make the experience even better than reading on homestuck.com would be, like inline music credits with links to the official bandcamp, a “spoiler free mode” to hide things that might spoil future events for archival readers, and even mod support to add things like author commentary and replace some of the slurs in the early parts of the comic. I’ll personally be running mods to add author commentary and news posts, as well as mods to translate things like that one morse code segment and Damara’s dialog in A6I3. This is my first time using the collection, so while this isn’t my first reread I do hope it’s my best!
Without further ado, let’s dive in:
The first thing you see when booting up the collection for the first time, after a brief intro page, is a list of content warnings. For whatever reason, Tumblr’s post editor won’t let me add text to a post after copy-pasting these, so I can’t show the full list. If I explicitly comment on anything that warrants a warning I’ll include it at the top of future posts. After that, there are some prompts to configure spoilers, locate the asset pack, and we’re off to the races!
Tumblr media
I’m not gonna screencap every page but I can’t not include the first one. It’s so iconic at this point!
Also, I learned listening to the podcast that the name “Zoosmell Pooplord” is a reference to an old AH webcomic called “Zoosmells”, which I’m... probably not gonna read as a part of this project.
Another comment relating to the podcast, one of the hosts says at one point that “Andrew Hussie is really good at describing a type of guy.” The description of a new character’s interests are always some of my favorite bits to read. They start to get a little silly after Act 5 but the early ones are great. I feel like a 13 year old with this exact set of interests probably existed somewhere lol
I didn’t react much to the fake arms bit as I obviously knew it was coming, but it was pretty funny the first time around, taking what you think is a joke about the art style and using it to mess with you and all that. I know now that this is a running gag of sorts in MSPA - I wonder how many of those I still don’t pick up on considering I haven’t read Problem Sleuth or the other adventures (Maybe I will at least read PS this time around but no promises).
Another quick note: I don’t have a whole lot of programming knowledge other than a little bit of Python from college - Homestuck basically is all I know about What Data Structures Are.
And a few pages later, we get the first perk of the collection: instead of linking to Youtube, the Con Air clips linked when John examines his poster are archived within the collection itself! I gotta say this is pretty terrific, I wonder how many jokes I forgot the punchline of because they depended on a dead link?
And with that, oh shit I have work in the morning and this post has gotten pretty long anyways. I’ll probably keep the next one in my drafts til I’ve read a somewhat decent chunk, but it shouldn’t be more than a couple days. Thanks for reading!

Cyd Roseland - Round Two! His last round was back in June 2012, but if you don’t feel like reading it, the highlights were: Cyd wanting to skill, and the matchmaker going peak troll by setting him up with Gavin Newson.
Tumblr media
Rest assured, Cyd’s desire to skill has not weakened in the last eight years. Gilbert: My desire to not hear his awful piano playing though...
Tumblr media
Porthos was also invited Downtown, because he is a valuable and important member of the household too.
Tumblr media
Cyd: Hey. Gilbert: You’ve got an admirer, Mrs C. Mrs Crumplebottom: He can take a number and join the back of the line.
Tumblr media
Marcel: Is that horrible noise you or the piano? Gilbert: First of all, this is a no shoes, no service club, so fuck off.
Tumblr media
Cyd’s OTH is Art, so I treated him to an easel. It will be some time before I notice it doesn’t build Art enthusiasm.
Tumblr media
Cyd: SNARF SNARF SNARF.
Tumblr media
Cyd: Somehow this does not feel as fulfilling as I thought it would. Shh, I’ll look up a tutorial.
Tumblr media
In the meantime, Cyd needs a love interest who’s not a tattooed townie or a teenager. Cyd: Hi, handsome. John: I’m married. Cyd: Dammit.
Tumblr media
Cyd: What an absolute waste. John: Sorry, I’m just really hungry. Cyd: Yeah, me too.
Tumblr media
I downloaded this power outage mod and I already love it.
Tumblr media
John: Birds? Cyd: Not in this book.
Tumblr media
The storm is also swamping Porthos in snow.
Tumblr media
This is still funny enough for me to leave it as it is.
Tumblr media
Community lot skilling because it’s way more interesting than skilling at home.
Tumblr media
I mean, where else am I gonna see TV star Cynthia Kim swimming with the fishes?
Tumblr media
Komei: Bondage? Cyd: Not here, it’s too cold.
Tumblr media
Appropriate snokelwear!
Tumblr media
Cyd: Make sure you get a good shot ‘cause it’s not gonna happen again.
Tumblr media
You gonna do that all day? Cyd: Yup. Cyd: Unless you have a better idea. Ooh, I know! Let’s find you a man.
Tumblr media
After dinner.
Tumblr media
Cyd: Hello handsome. Porthos: Which way to the Ren Faire?
Tumblr media
Townie: Get a room. Cyd: I live here.
Tumblr media
Cyd: My body is ready.
Tumblr media
Kent: OH MY GOD IS THIS A KINK THING!? Cyd: What? No, it’s just a weird coding thing.
Tumblr media
Cyd: What? What’s the problem? Congrats, you broke him so hard he changed into his outerwear. Give him a minute and he’ll get over it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Arrow go up lol.
Tumblr media
Kent: Be gentle with me, sempai.
Tumblr media
Kent: Lol just kidding, let’s do this.
Tumblr media
Kent: He’s really gonna sleep like that, huh. Yep, for as long as it remains hilarious.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, Porthos. Porthos: I need my other Musketeers.
Tumblr media
Cyd: Mmm, Kent.
Tumblr media
I have no idea why I thought this would be interesting to screencap.
Tumblr media
Boo, hiss.
Tumblr media
Cyd: Time to get that promotion back.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, more Porthos.
Tumblr media
Porthos: That’s right, keep walking, jailbait.
Tumblr media
Pfffft hahaha.
Tumblr media
Cyd has decided to replace sleep with coffee.
Tumblr media
Cyd: I got this.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Cyd: I don’t got this.
Tumblr media
He brought Jessica Peterson home from work for some socialising.
Tumblr media
But first, belly rubs!
Tumblr media
Cyd: So why’d you decide to become a supervillain? Superhero kill your parents? Went down a dark path with good intentions? Fell into a vat of toxic chemicals? Jessica: Money, mostly.
Tumblr media
Jessica: Your TVs broken, by the way. Cyd: I’m aware.
Tumblr media
He doesn’t have work for a few days, so I let him take Kent out on a date. Cyd: Look what I can do with my neck! Kent: Horrifying. Do it again.
Tumblr media
Museum gift shop!
Tumblr media
Phoebe:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then I sent them to Bernards Botanical Dining for fancy lunch.
Tumblr media
Ugh, you two are too cute.
Tumblr media
Cyd: Stealing a bite! Kent: You can tell it’s true love because I didn’t stab you in the hand.
Tumblr media
Kent: What the hell is that? A dog. Kent: It’s adorable.
Tumblr media
Also stinky.
Tumblr media
The electricity’s working again, so Cyd does some gaming.
Tumblr media
Which is boring, so I sent him and Porthos to the Bark Park. Cyd: And this is how a see-saw works. Porthos: I know how it works, I’m just not gonna do it.
Tumblr media
Sophia: Recycling.
Tumblr media
Oh look, it’s an asshole convention.
Tumblr media
And the week ends with Cyd dicking around on his computer. Cyd: I’m updating my blog. Snap!

An Annotated Mass Effect Playthrough, Part Eight
List of Posts: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
I accidentally messed up the numbering on part Seven’s link to post six, so if you missed post six (or yesterday’s part seven), the numbering up there is correct.
Wherein we get back out into the galaxy, explore, help some people, and kill some others!
So now that we have Liara, it’s time to really dig into the galaxy.  We have a few people we talked to on the CItadel who need help, and maybe we’ll stumble into a few more things along the way.
First of all, let’s check out the galaxy map...
Hey wait a sec, what’s this?
Tumblr media
Petra Nebula!?  Oh hey, another new addition by the ME1 Recalibrated mod.
Tumblr media
Gorgeous map, only one system available.
Tumblr media
Heeeey we recognize this place, we’ll get to go there in.... two games!
Tumblr media
Can’t land there (or anywhere in the system) but it’s cool that it exists! There are a couple of other neat little things in the system I didn’t screenshot so that you can have a cool new experience yourself if you decide to use the mod on your next playthrough.
What I really miss from ME3, by the way, is the % markers which note when you’ve fully explored a system or if there’s more stuff to find there.
Anyway, my PLAN had been to take a screenshot of each planet or spacecraft before I entered it to help orient the playthrough better, and then the non-screenshotting couple of hours happened, so we lost some of that along the way, sorry.  
Still, let’s see what kind of trouble we can get ourselves into.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I love this planet.  The lava juuuuust below the surface, peeking out.  Just some of the coolest terrain in the game.
What a great view, let’s get a little clo--
Tumblr media
OOPS.
Tumblr media
I meant to do that.
Tumblr media
Wide open spaces with no fears of a thresher maw living in the lava! ...I hope?
Ah, here’s our objective, a distress signal being sent from this location, let’s see if we can help...
Tumblr media
FUCKING GETH AMBUSH.
Tumblr media
Aw yeah, jumping over those explosives like a pro!
Tumblr media
...most of the time.
Well this planet was a bust.  Let’s see if we can actually help someone.
Another planet, scanned a few things, not sure what we’re doing here but hey, I found a lone building!
Ah yes, a prefab which is totally different from all the prefabs we’ll enter because the creates are stacked in a different configuration.
Honestly they should have put one of these prefabs in ME3 for Old Times Sake. (The ones that actually look like homes/labs/whatever make so much more sense.)
Tumblr media
Annnd we’re being attacked.  Not sure why, but here we go!
Tumblr media
Awww yeah, Throw!  And Ash and Kaidan managing to be useful I think?
Tumblr media
Except they let a guy slip by us, but luckily there’s a convenient explosive nearby.  That got ‘em.
Tumblr media
OK back to facing forward OH FUCK A KROGAN.
Tumblr media
Kaidan’s biotics and my shotgun, a favorite combination.  Now stay down!
Sweet, level up!
And that fight’s over, time to explore this pla...
Tumblr media
Whew, thanks Kaidan.
Tumblr media
This guy thought he could sneak past me.  Well me, my shotgun and my 20 shield strength sure showed him.
ME1 combat is so... messy though.  I mean, I honestly still enjoy it, but I’m in the camp that agrees combat gets better every game, Andromeda included.  Of course, I just REALLY LOVE Vanguarding in ME3... charging into a group of enemies, hitting Nova, spamming charge again praying that I’ll find a good target to charge to in time.  ME1 combat is basically all just... spam abilities from cover and hope your companions are doing something useful.  Being a Vanguard is more about style over substance in ME here.  I mean you do get some really useful abilities, but your shotgun isn’t that much use unless things get too close.
Which, you know, they do pretty often.
Anyway, remember... I WILL DESTROY YOU!!!
Tumblr media
FUCK I hadn’t been back to the Citadel to pick up Nassana Dantius’ quest yet.  Let’s just reload the quicksave from outside and we’ll... come back and do this the right way later and see the entire quest.
I do this more often than I care to admit.
Also no screenshot for this but... I also found Wrex’s personal quest planet and recognized it only when I saw the building, since it’s in a pretty memorable location.  Still, grabbed everything else off the planet so it’ll be quick when it’s time to go back and do that quest.
Well let’s go back to poking around the galaxy.
Message coming in.  Patching it through.
Tumblr media
Ah, yeah, hey Hackett.  What’s that?  You’ve got some dirty work you need me to do for you?  Cool, be right there.
Before the ME2 DLC Arrival came out, Hackett was one of Mass Effect’s biggest mysteries.  Who is this guy?  Why is he telling us to do things?  Does he have some secret agenda?  Why is he so sketchy?  Our Shepards seemed to trust him but WOW he sure did send us on some touchy missions.  Speculation was all over the place on what he looked like and what he was really doing.
Turns out, he’s just a pretty cool guy who wants you to take on all the secret spy missions the Alliance doesn’t want to take credit for.
I wish I’d saved it, but just a week or two ago I saw a pretty great post circulating about Hackett.  He IS the guy that’s going to make sure a job gets done, even if he’s not going to do it himself.  He’s the back-room Admiral with the squeaky clean image up front.  He’s the Gus Fring of the Alliance.
Also getting Lance Riddick to voice him was great.  Just a real authoritative, steady guy who you actually want to trust.  
And it turns out he looks basically exactly like most people thought, but maybe with a few more scars. (I mean, he really looks a lot like Lance Riddick, tbh)  But we don’t know that yet.  For now, let the mystery be.
Time to actually go help someone.
Tumblr media
Ah yeah, Chairman Burns, we do negotiate with terrorists, in this case.  But they needed negotiating with.
Maxing out the Paragon-meter is worth it for moments like this.  These guys have probably suffered and it’s no surprise that no one has really listened.  Sounds like a lot about the galaxy hasn’t changed since we got out there.
This is also an excellent moment for Kaidan.
Tumblr media
Being able to let Kaidan reason with them is fantastic.  Although he probably ultimately doesn’t make a difference mechanics wise, it’d be nice if maybe the check is easier if he’s here.  I don’t know.  But Kaidan knows, even if he’s one of the “lucky” ones who “only” gets migraines.  
One of the grossest posts I’ve seen about Kaidan are people who argue she shouldn’t be on the team because of his implants and since he has a “disability”.  Or that it’s “kinder” to sacrifice him on Virmire.  That’s some real gross ablism you’ve got there.  
Anyway, I love being able to keep this situation under control. Burns actually comes through if you do, even if those guys probably go to prison for awhile for terrorism.  Better than being dead.
Time for... another planet!
Again, didn’t take a screencap of this one but... there’s a missing survey team? I must have picked this quest up in the elevators, because normally you get it on Noveria.  Anyway,  Let’s go find them on Trebin, I’m sure they just can’t broadcast anymore or something.  It’s cool
Tumblr media
FUCK. SHIT SHIT SHIT.  FUCK!!!
Tumblr media
I probably could have actually used Warp or Throw or even Barrier there but... too late now!  We lived!
I was all ready to blame this on Cerberus, but creepily, there’s no explanation for who huskified them or why.   I’m still going to blame Cerberus, seems like something they’d do.
Well, time to move on.
Tumblr media
Honestly, I can’t believe anyone who says ME1 isn’t beautiful.
Tumblr media
And driving the Mako is FUN in places like this!
Tumblr media
Oh there’s a camp up ahead, we’re here to find the remaining crew of a crashed ship for our new friend in the Citadel Tower.  
Again, no footage/screenshot but eventually you find where the mercenaries tracked down Willem (the brother) and killed them.  Shit.  We were too late.  I actually tear up sometimes telling Garoth that his brother died.  They held out for awhile, too, but we were too late.
It would have been nice if, say, if the very first thing we did after leaving the Citadel was to come here, we could have saved him, but I guess this quest is another way of Bioware telling us that sometimes, there’s just nothing you can do to change things.
One more quest this update, then we’re stopping back off at the Citadel next.
Tumblr media
Presrop, one of the most well-known of the sidequest planets. (OKok, technically it’s a moon.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
One of my favorite landing sequences, just because the stars make it so... dramatic.
Tumblr media
I mean DAMN.
Tumblr media
Klendagon's most striking feature is, of course, the Great Rift valley that stretches across the southern hemisphere. What is most fascinating about the Rift is that it does not appear to be natural. The geological record suggests it is the result of a "glancing blow" by a mass accelerator round of unimaginable destructive power. This occurred some thirty-seven million years ago.
It took a solid three minutes of Flycam flying to get that closeup shot, btw.  I actually flew all the way in the first time I came here, and didn’t take screenshots.  Took about six minutes.  The updated texture is impressive.
Well, Hackett sent us here, let’s deal with Major Kyle.
Tumblr media
Being nice and non-threatening gets you into places.
Tumblr media
I’ll admit, before I came in here, I decided to cheat in enough paragon points to max out Paragon already.  For me personally, I’m trying to make sure this is an “ultimate” playthrough, a save file I can just use over and over from here on out.  I want everything to import into ME3 the first time around with all the plot flags set how I want them without messing with Gibbed’s Savegame Editor, so making sure I can convince everyone how I want them to is important.  So hey, Major Kyle, stand down.
I don’t think I’ve ever played as a Ruthless Shepard in ME1, or if I have, it’s been so long I’ve forgotten how it goes.  But he was the commanding officer at the battle of Torfan, and your CO if you’re Ruthless.  He’s also a reminder of how serious PTSD can be, and what it can do to a person.  
I also love this tidbit from the Wiki, which I didn’t know since I’d never done these particular choices before:
(In Mass Effect 2)  If Martin Burns was not saved in 2183, a news report on the Citadel will announce that Kyle is trying to form an all-biotic community as the reparations were not given to L2 biotics and they have become even more alienated from galactic society.
Tumblr media
I really liked that if you reason with him, he doesn’t give you any trouble and turns himself in like he says.
Hey, this negotiation thing is easy when you’re the best person in the galaxy at it!!

RULES && REGULATIONS
As these have been updated I thought it best to repost them. The major changes have applied to The ‘Other Things to Note’ but smaller edits have also occurred throughout most sections so all areas that have had changes are copied and pasted below 
Disclaimer;
I do not claim to own the character of Harley Quinn, own or be any part of the DC franchise, or own any of the icons or other images  posted on this blog. I made all the edits on this page but original images were not my own. I also create and use all my own icons with my own psd. Screencaps where appropriate are my own but mostly I’ve just cropped the comic pages where needed with scans taken from here.
What Private Means to Me;
To me, this means that I will only interact with those who follow me. This isn’t to discourage people from wanting to interact with me as I am willing to give all roleplayers a chance. I’ve started to implement this as I feel that if I follow you and want to interact with you, you should want to follow me and do the same. I just feel that when people don’t follow me back, they don’t want all the plot ideas I have for our muses. Linking into following practices, I typically give inactive blogs two months before unfollowing. If you ever do come back always feel free to drop me a message and we can carry on a thread, if we have one.
A Note For Other Harley Quinn Blogs;
I am a little wary of interactions with other Harley Quinn blogs but I am open to the idea. My wariness stems from my previous experiences as I have lost rp partners, and had entired threads dropped and replicated with other Harleys, which is not okay.  I am a criminology and psychology graduate so to the best of my knowledge all psychiatric practices employed by Harleen will be accurate but I have also been accused of “doing it wrong” previously too. I’m hoping these experiences are not replicated. but please understand that I would probably want to talk through a plot and get to know you OOC first before we start anything. I would also appreciate if, at least for now, that we operate from different canon, meaning that I use a different verse for Harley, compared to you.. 
Other Things To Note;
I am slow. Please do not follow me if you'd like me to turn over replies quickly. To make up for this I have recently swapped to a novella style, meaning that I will only rp in a para style format and will no longer write one liners or semi-paras. This is to encourage longer, more in depth threads with a focus on exploring all my verses have to offer.
As with every blog I will not tolerate God-modding. I write Harley and control her as I see fit and I give you the freedom to do the same with your character. If, for any reason, your character has some form of ability, allowing them to potentially break this then I would prefer to plot out the scene, if not the whole thread so as I writer I can expect this.
Due to the recent changes in how I rp on this blog I will not be writing greeters, and will likely not post that many open starter calls. Instead each starter call will be verse, or even based on a specific plot or idea to allow for a longer starter to be written. If we plot, I wish for you to have at least some form of idea, or at least a verse you wish to write in as Harley's characterisation can change dramatically depending on the verse.
I am now 21 so NSFW content including violent themese and smut will appear on my blog.It will be tagged but may not necessarily be under a read more. However, if placed under a read more by my partner than I shall do the same. I do not emplore an age restriction on my writers but I may limit what we rp to some extent if you are at least under 18 but will do this at your disgression.
When it comes to formatting replies I usually capitalise and bold the first three words of each reply and make the main body smaller as well as emphasisng some words using captials, bolds and italics if I feel life it. Feel free to use your own style of formatting or none at all. If you use a certain style of formatting (including the use of purple prose) during an interaction I may edit my style to make the thread replies ‘match’ more.
Any thread that is responded to without at least a paragraph will now be ignored. I pride myself on not dropping threads, no matter how long they take me to respond to, but a reply like the one I have described is the one exception this. I do not expect a reply that matches mine in length but I would like to see a little effort put into replies as I am now extending my own writing and cannot do that when given shorter replies.
I don’t typically reblog memes but they do occasionally appear on my blog, reblogged from the source if one is linked. They’re great when it comes to icebreakers and just developing a relationship (platonic, romantic or otherwise). I do not practice reblog karma but will send a meme if I think it relates to Harley. As some memes may be ship related I will also add here that I ship Harley with Chemistry although several of her storylines have strong Harley x Joker, Harley x Deadshot or Harley x Ivy interactions. This should not dissuade you from considering a ship in any verse given her flirtatious nature but do not feel like you have to reciprocate her actions. It is just Harley, being Harley.

Update
Hello hello fellow Eosians! ♡
I’m writing this update notice because there are a few things I would like to tell you concerning the blog. Reading your answers to the survey I shared some days ago not only filled me with joy because of your enthusiasm towards this blog, but also because of your goodwill. You’ve been nothing but caring, telling me that I shouldn’t forget that I was doing this for myself and that I had to enjoy myself as well. That’s the most adorable thing, seriously, and I’m getting all smiley just thinking about it. And you’re right, I mean, I kinda lost sight of myself when you’ve started growing in numbers, so I’ve done some thinking and I will make little changes. Nothing dramatic, though, don’t worry. ♡ 
As you know, this blog runs on a queue because it’s easier to manage this way, and helps me stay active all the while living my life. So far, the queue was set to 7 posts a day, so that’s 1 post every 3 hours. However, with time passing, I noticed that posting that many shots a day could kinda become toxic to the blog. You’re getting used to these 7 pictures a day and while there’s no issue with that, it also means that you will be more inclined to scroll past a few shots you will see just because it’s one among so many others, and that has become an habit for you to see so many. As much as it has become an habit for me to spend more time and efforts on some pics than others, which is not fair because I really want to do all the characters justice, whether they are on the top list or merely remembered. Another thing I noticed is, I almost wrote Noctis, there are times when very few of us are online and so a few shots tend to pile up without getting the same consideration as others because we aren’t here to see them. Aren’t timezones great? So what I’m going to do, and it won’t make as big of a difference as it sounds with me writing books over something quite minor, is queuing 5 posts from 6PM UTC+2 to 6AM UTC+2 which is the period I’ve seen is the most opportune for the majority. (timezones comparisons here) It sounds drastic, but believe me, it’s not that big of a change.
I’m going to work on more formats from now on. Your suggestions and ideas inspired me a lot and I want to share varying content with all of you. The core of this blog is sharing that love I have for the FFXV verse, the world of Eos, with all of you who love that very same beautiful verse just as much. It’s equality and exchange, no matter our preferences. It’s love, positivity and memories; so I want to convey my feelings to you in many different ways. I want people to spend some time in this blog and remember what that flawed yet so beautiful game brought to them, all the great souvenirs they have made thanks to it, and all the things they still want to share about it. It’s some kind of sanctuary and I want it to be precious. And I believe it’s only by sharing all kinds of things, not only the closeups I was so keen on posting until now, that I’m going to be able to reach that goal. For sure I’m trying to keep the quality a priority, but I want the value of what’s in the shot to reach you more than the shot itself, if that makes sense. ♡ 
Because we’re almost 1k Eosians to share the same adventure on this blog, I want to do something special. It’s not going to be big because I can’t afford much, but I would like to gift you with the raw 1920x1080 versions of the twenty most liked posts of the blog as much as my three personal mods (blue Prompto, white Gladio and red Cindy). Again, this is not much at all but I hope you will enjoy it anyway. The pack will be up in the next few days.
Some additional info:
Sadly there are scenes I will not be able to capture with the Ansel, Lunafreya and Ravus moments or episode Ignis’s endings are unfortunately part of that lot. I can still screencap the scenes, but it’s obviously not the same as taking the shots yourself.
The faq page is up and running, actually it’s been the case for a while but I forgot to mention it, and all non personal mods I’m using are listed there.
The tags page is also up and running, only characters are listed for now, but I will add more filters in the future.
I apologize for the overload of text, and I wish you well! Thank you for your constant love and support, keep the love alive! ♡

See you thought it was fun, and now I’ve gone and done some pondering #prayers for Sal
Tumblr media
salvachester replied to your post “Hello, new Nashooligans!”
but NASH, it's fun to see you lecture when you are actually right (srsly, what part of "don't steal from others, Stealing IS BAD" ppl don't get??)
@salvachester I’ve actually given this some thought, Sal, and - other than it not being addressed formally by parents and/or in school - my guess is it’s the knee-jerk thought process of “Well if it’s not for sale, it must be free.”
This was likely a rhetorical comment, but it’s Monday and I’m avoiding Monday adulting, so here we are. Feel free to ignore. Or hey, waste time with me, it can be a group activity.
And I don’t know if the opposite - being almost wary of stuff that’s not got clear parentage - is my knee-jerk due to having gone to school for a thousand years (citations! proper biblio! what does the literature say! footnotes! robust sources! gaaaah!), or if it has to do with age. I already had one foot into adulthood when social media exploded. I’m sure I’ve failed in the past, but now-a-days, I try not to pass along things that appear to have been slapped on here/the Twits without being “shared” as appropriately as possible.
Which, I tell you, the way I was “raised” in terms of leadership style/management style is to train your brain - in a situation where a subordinate has made a mistake - not to immediately blame them, but to first consider were they in any way set up for failure? Meaning: was this related to a systems issue/supply issue/staff support issue/etc. 100% incompetence and/or willful malice should be the conclusion when all else is eliminated. 
So most of these sites - the ones with broader focus than sharing quick thoughts or life updates (like, Twitter’s primary function wasn’t about sharing artwork, Facebook’s jam was supposed to be non-business networking, I know things evolve, but you get my point) - in particular play a big part in this, too. Specifically for the lack of share buttons with every popular media site listed, which should then alert the creator to the publishing of their thing on an outside site. It’s nigh impossible to track, just for plain ol’ metrics, but also because if I were able to see an uptick on Instagram, I’ll know to keep an eye out for folks who do the ol’ screencap and pass-a-long thing.
I’ve thought about locking this blog down to the “nth” degree possible (it’s currently viewable by anyone), and making a side blog for CASPN that’s public. I know that won’t prevent 100%, but maybe it’ll shave off the top.
I also am really convicted regarding naming names, if a thief (or accidental re-posters who can turn themselves into thieves) has been informed and given a link to follow and asked to kindly delete their post, then does not do it. I give them about a week, depending on if it’s evident they post multiple times a day, and then if not? I think the given fandom should be told.
But.
That garbage overtook my blog and drew out a handful of cranky folks who were apparently having a bad day and needed to process it aloud and it fell at the NashHole Inc doorstep (and, hey - they lucked out, they could’ve done it to a dragon slayer instead of someone who decided a loooong time ago to go the educational windbag route with those types of folks), and it really wasn’t my intent. I *am* thankful that nobody piled on that kid, that people did as I asked and just reported the post/spoke bluntly but not rage-y in messages, but lord have mercy, I wish I could shut it down and let folks know this particular one is over, and there’s no need for anyone to waste their time going over there, or clog up their blog.
So here’s my thought: Should there be a blog that’s focused on SPN thievery, story plagiarists, etc., exclusively? Kinda like how Canon SPN gifs is just.... well, canon SPN gifs. And it’d have a whole slew of mods who’ve been around forever, who live in a variety of continents/countries/time zones so that the mailbox 24hr coverage so to speak, and ideally a good chunk of whom have had things stolen from them. And it would have a process similar to what I describe: the request to take down; some standard time period with flexibility based on whatever circumstances (say, if they’ve noted somewhere that they’re on a hiatus); if that time period passes with no response, or they block the rightful owner or behave rudely, then comes the report to the site in question followed by the “report to the fandom” via this blog in an agreed-upon simply formatted post; tag the post with the thief’s name so that people can come back and search for updates; and of course, update the fam along the way.
I figure that way people can follow or subscribe for alerts, and then reblog at their discretion, or could make a tiny post of their own with a link back to a certain post at the theft blog being like “Y’all need to look at this post if you’re a writer, the SPN Thief Alert blog found a Wattpad user with a ton of stolen stories”. 
Anyway. Hmmmmm..... Okay, sorry my brain droppings fell on you, you lucky victim! MWAH!

( updated rules + mun 06.09.18 )
——MEET THE MUN ;
O1. heyo , my name is qonout ( she/her )

O3. I’m a sophomore as of last Thursday ( O6.O7.18 )
O4. i have 3+ years of roleplay experience :)
O5. i am literate && sometimes i write more than i wish to.
O6. i’m an extremely positive person so ,, please let’s all be nice to each other here. if you ever need to talk to someone , PLEASE COME TO ME. i will help you with anything :)
O7. i am EST time zone ,, PA
O8. one more thing ; i have severe depression && anxiety. those things can affect the way i am sometimes so please don’t take it the wrong way.
O9. heads up ; these are a little lengthy and make me seem like an asshole but im not i swear.
—— RULES ;
O1. SELECTIVE ; my blog is selective and i will ONLY roleplay with mutuals. it’s nothing personal ,, just for the sake of my anxiety.
O2. FOLLOWING ; since i am private ,, i am picky with who i follow. it’s really just for the sake of my sanity. i have sever anxiety && so that does come into play with following.
O3. CROSS-OVERS ; i am most definitely cross over friendly but i can be a little selective about it! OC’s ,, i am also OC friendly but like i said ,, it depends on the cross over.
O4. NSFW & TRIGGERS ; anything nsfw ( other than possible blood , gore , darkness etc ) will not be on my blog. i know most of the rpc is older than 18 but as long as you tag your posts ,, we’ll be all good :) now as for triggers ,, i have suffered through a lot in my life. && sometimes i still do. if you’re reading this && could kindly tag these triggers it’d be greatly appreciated.
* rape
* suicide
( or anything relating to suicide )
O4. PATIENCE ; i am begging you to be patient with me. as school is starting up again ,, and me tending to hermit away into my bedroom ,, i still have a life. i still have friends && family. im extremely close to my mom so i am often bonding with her 95% of the time. so if i don’t reply to you right away ,, it’s most likely some of the reasons above. or because im just not feeling the muse okay?
O5. WRITING & FORMATTING ; i tend to write ,, a lot. sometimes i can write 5-6 paragraphs or more. sometimes less. it depends if im feeling it. i often have to visually imagine the setting, who, what, where, when, how, & so forth. my grammar is pretty good && so is my vocabulary. i often like to expand it so every now & then you’ll see me using a variety of text. i do format my writing a certain way. i will put some words in all caps ,, quotations , parentheses & so forth. i don’t always resize my text but when i do it’s probably just <small></small> ,, never anything below that. you don’t have to format your text a certain way ,, but that’s just how i do it :)
O6. GRAMMAR; i don’t feel as if i need to put this here but we should mostly have an idea that decent grammar should come into play. as long as i understand you ,, it really doesn’t matter. if you misspell a couple words im not going to hold it against you. && for those who’s english isn’t their first language ; YOU GUYS ARE AMAZEBALLS ! i would always love to write with you. && don’t worry about grammar that much :) i’ll understand. ++ english also isn’t my first language ?? i grew up speaking arabic but learned english so i understand.
O7. GOD-MOD ; just simply don’t do it. i write cheryl the way she NEEDS to be written. unless we’ve discussed that your chara has certain abilities that can detect the way she’s thinking/feeling , don’t claim you do. it is MY cheryl && i love her ,, don’t try changing her.
O8. NO TOLERANCE ; no tolerance for hate speech, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, racism & so forth. it’s just not gonna happen on my blog. as for call out culture ,, no offense but if you’re doing anything wrong ( as some of the things above ) I WILL SAY SOMETHING !! maybe not in the open but i will privately talk to you about it.
O9. DECLINING ROLEPLAYS ; listen ,, my fandoms are limited && so is my knowledge. so if i turn down your rp for that reason ,, don’t take it personal. i may also decline a roleplay because im either just not feeling it or i just don’t see it! it’s nothing personal bby. we can always try some other time.
1O. SHIPS ; oh my god ,, say hello the biggest ship whore on the planet. HOWEVER , cheryl doesn’t trust easy. she has went through a lot of traumas in her life that would be extremely hard to come back from. chem is key ! let’s build something beautiful <3
11. MEMES ; send all the memes. i promise you ,, ill be beyond happy about it. don’t think that i won’t. if you want to turn memes into threads , please make a separate post for it !! i don’t want to clutter up anyone’s dash.
12. EXCLUSIVES / MAINS ; if you’re down for mains , just hit me up ! HOWEVER ,, exclusives are v selective. it’s gonna take a lot for you to become an exclusive to me. or i may not even do it. we’ll see.
13. PLOTTING ; please! plot with me! i will most likely be down for it. but always come to me with an IDEA before approaching ?? it’s either that or we can brain storm. if you’re solid about your plot ,, throw it at my face. if you wanna brain storm ,, let’s do it. we can also turn a simple one line into something. even AU’s
14.VERSES; i do have multiple verses that are in the works. i have a solid teen wolf verse && I PROMISE ,, more are to come. the tw verse is also flexible. i mostly keep cheryl the way she is in different crossovers. ( twilight , tvd/to , & others ). i am compliant either way and we can most certainly work something out
15. VISUALS ; all icons are made by MOI , screencaps vary from screencapped.net & thetvshows.us. feel free to use icons && gifs ,, just nothing too big please? my icons are 100x100. && cut your posts please !!
16. that is all !! sorry if my rules are a lot ,, it’s just super important if you read all these.
