#its a concept for an rp server im in though | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

Note

I don't know if anyone's asked this before, but where did you get the idea for IGTLT?

honestly, this is probably one of the most complex origins for any of my fics so its going under a cut because long

so it started off as me wanting to make a fic specifically to make infected!paulkins Suffer. whenever i gain a comfort character(s) i have to make them suffer, idk what that says about me but its just how i interact with media. wildfire is that fic for zazzalil and i had one for jana from wolfblood on my ff.net. if im honest they all follow a pretty similar structure but oh well, i still find em interesting enough. anyway, that combined with a desire to write some infected paulkins stuff and i started listing ideas of how to make them suffer and eventually landed on science. this original fic (i called it ‘for science!’) was set post-tgwdlm rather than being an au, had paul and emma be more murderous, emma in particular being borderline feral, and never really had a plot. i hadnt even thought of including peip, it was just generic evil science. it was just some scene ideas i thought would be neat, i never planned on publishing it, and in the end i only wrote 2 unfinished scenes.

later, i think i was thinking about that fic but im not really sure, but somehow the thought occured to me that it would be fucked up if you donated your body to science and they just fuckin. turned you into a zombie. its as i was typing this up as a tumblr post that i realised ‘hey this would be a good premice for infected paulkins’. since it was so similar to the previous fic i decided to just take what i liked most from that and use it for igtlt, but i think the only things i ended up keeping were them being muzzled and the outfit design of blue trousers and a blue and white gown that were a little too small for paul and noticably too big for emma. i was talking about the new concept on a rp server i used to be in and someone mentioned that they assumed the scientists were peip. i hadnt even thought of that, so whoever that was i owe you my fucking life. since this was a much more solid idea and i quickly thought up an actual plot for it, i decided i was going to publish it.

as a bonus: a scene from the original which i couldnt repurpose but still liked was tom - who had survived tgwdlm - being brought in to talk to emma in an effort to see how much of her humanity and memory is still in there. shes handcuffed to a table and theres a window between them. she starts off trying to pretend theres nothing wrong with her and that shes being held captive and abused for no reason, and even though shs clearly ill her act is so convincing that tom almost believes her, before snapping and demanding she drop it. she jumps back a little and acts scared, just long enough to see tom have second thoughts about snapping, then gets this sinister grin on her face. she starts laughing, coughing up blue shit, and then doubles over and pretends to choke, baiting tom into leaning closer to the window so she can leap onto the table to scare him. shes straining against her cuffs to get close to the glass, which forces her into a crouched position that makes her look even more feral. he only manages to calm her down when he starts talking about jane, which makes her sit down on the tabletop and listen, even singing a few lines quietly about her. i never thought up an ending for this scene but the visits were going to be a recurring thing.

LFRP - MAIN - Raylin Nadia

Basics:

Name: Raylin Nadia Alias: Stray, Ray, etc. Age: Early to mid 20's Birthday: 4th Sun of the 4th Umbral Moon Race: Keeper of the Moon - Miqo'te Alignment: Chaotic Neutral Identity: Female (concept of self is fluid but they are not knowledgeable in that subject) Sexuality: Demi-sexual/Pan-romantic/Polyamourous

Appearance:

Weight: 150 ponze Height: 5 fulm 4 ilm Hair: Black with white/silver undertones, usually cut short and plain. Eye color: Heterochromia (Green/Blue) Common accessories or markings: Has a kink in her tail. Facial scars on cheek and near eye, has a few tattoos from her tribe. Usually wears masks or eye coverings. Her clothing style varies depending on location/what she’s currently doing - she adjusts to her surroundings.

Personal:

Personality: To those that aren't familiar to Raylin, she may seem curious although reserved, though the closer and more trust they gain, she becomes more sardonic and easy-going. She's mischievous and knowledge-thirsty, easily tossing self preservation to the side if she finds something worthy of risk. Profession: Although her roots have been an adventurer and healer for hire, she's more of a dabbler of trades. Still an adventurer at heart, she mainly deals with her inn and apothecary, though is known to take a break to go back to her roots or work on something new. She's always looking in underground markets for knowledge in the form of books and recipes, even secrets or anything else that could be made of value, unbeknownst to her normal clients and comrades. Hobbies: She dabbles in crafts and in various forums of combat, unfortunately due to constantly keeping busy she doesn't seem to get much sleep and seems to be perpetually tired underneath her masks. Her main passion is forbidden magics and long lost alchemy and knowledge. Faith: Worshiper of Menphina, Sophia, Dawn and Dusk dreadwryms, Nymeia, and Nophica. She's a shroud-borne Meracydian thus her beliefs are a mixture of both, especially after being taken in by a Gridianian Wildwood Elzen in her youth. Languages: Meracydian, Eorzean, bastardized Draconian. She's proficient in Allag, Nymian, and other old languages but she's no expert.

RP Hooks:

Seeker of Forbidden: Known in unseedy places as Stray, her lust for forbidden tomes and rare things like soul-stones or old recipes for potions and poisons and even cursed items is well known. Perhaps you have knowledge of such items or perhaps you have items for trade? She’s also always on the lookout for translators that are client confidential, and maybe you’re the one with those skills! Healer/Apothecarian: Known in the Shroud and in Adventuring Guilds, she's known to help most if not everyone regardless of their standing or lack thereof. Especially helping those turned away from official Hearers of Gridania. Inn Keeper/FC Leader: As Raylin, she's also known to run an inn from the base of her Free Company’s (Knights of Meracydia) home base. From an outsider's perspective it seems like an East meets West Bathhouse and Inn, though in underground groups is known as a good place to conduct business without much suspicion due to the nature of the Inn. Partially gimmicky, the Yellowjackets pay little mind to the clientele, but members of the rogue's guild know its also a good place to gather information due to the various clientele. Though as ever, it also serves as a good home looking for a place to call their own. Adventurer: Being an adventurer has always resonated with Raylin, thus no matter how busy she keeps, she is always on the look out for a 'break' to return to her roots.

OOC Info:

Character location: Adamantoise, Aether Server! Availability: On discord Raylin Nadia#1191, Tumblr (shades-of-tedium), and in game. Due to having chronic pain and a job, sometimes I get on later but am always contactable via discord or Tumblr. Usually on later on in the day or afternoons PST time zone. RP Style: I am OK with lore bending! But try not to lore break ^^ so am pretty open to most things. I am more into the connections and character development part of roleplay. So please do not expect me to be down for ERP, as it's rarely my cup of tea. I dont care if that’s what people are looking for, it’s not what I am looking for, thanks in advance for understanding! I’m fond of adventure, dramatic, and even dark and morbid subjects but am even down for slice of life! As long as rivalries, friendships, and other connections are made, I’m down for the story that comes along the way! Im also always down to OOC contact first before any rp as well to get plotting before hand. I’m also very anxious so have difficulties asking people to RP first ;v; so please know I dont bite and am also trying my best to make friends so any help will be appreciated!

Echo: Bellona does possess a form of the Echo. And she is looking for ways to possibly master it. So she’s looking for anyone who has the Echo themselves and/or could provide answers for her about controlling it.

OOCLY I AM——–

I’m able to do rp here on tumblr, in game, or on discord. Whichever you feel more comfortable with.

I do occasionally go through depressive slumps where I don’t have much energy to put into rp, so I apology beforehand if it interferes with any of our plots!

As far as themes of rp go, I do like the lighter things but I don’t mind delving into some darker plots. Just nothing that may involve my character being permanently injured or killed.

Romance isn’t completely off the table for this character. If it seems like it could work out, I guess we could give it a shot? So long as it’s given time to develop.

I’m also pretty lax when it comes to lore-bending. I’m not really bothered by it. So I’m always happy to rp with concepts that may bend on lore a bit.

Timezone is Central and I’m usually available in-game around the evenings. I spend most of my time on Mateus since that’s where my main is. But I’m willing to hop over to Balmung as well.

I do write Bellona as a wol here on tumblr. Not really in rps with other people unless they would be interested in such a plot. That being said, I wouldn’t mind doing rp with other wols as well!

I don’t do erp.

hi im berenal

So I'd like to preface by saying I don't really use this blog too much, I mostly read it every now and again but that's about it. I've been relatively quiet concerning this issue but frankly I don't think that's the right way to go about it anymore, so I'm just going to address some stuff.

I've always believed in being pretty transparent about my issues, especially beef with other people. So while this blog is all about being anonymous, I'm just going to put up my side of this whole thing.

1. Concerning my guild/our story. There's a post I've seen pop up a few times that we've accused Blizzard of copying our stuff for Drustvar. While there's some striking similarities between some of our stuff and Drustvar, we know that Blizzard doesn't care about some random guild on MG. It was a meme. Maybe it's cause sarcasm gets lost in text, idk, but we've never actually believed that our stuff was stolen. We've actually fully embraced the similarities and have been super looking forward to the Drust stuff cause it's a cool concept, but this idea that we've somehow been slighted by Blizzard/earnestly believe that there was a copy thing isn't true. It was a joke that I guess went over poorly outside of our guild. We still say it as a joke in our casual conversations, accusing a specific guild mate of being a blizzard spy whenever something funny happens. It's a little outlandish to me personally that it got taken seriously but hey I'm not going to point a finger around, I'm just clarifying that the Blades as a group doesn't actually think this.

As for my character, which I've seen people saying I try to roleplay Greymane, thanks I guess? Berenal as a character is meant to be insanely patriotic. If they ever turned Genn into a villain, Berenal would follow him, unless it was done so in a really weird way like old gods or something overtly obvious. The character is meant to echo Greymane's statements, but I've never tried to pass myself off as Genn IC or state I have absolute authority from him or whatever.

Our guild is centered around Gilneas foremost and we put a lot of our narrative in-house rather than post it up publicly because we don't believe in forcing an intrusive narrative. I know I've been accused of such personally when Flames of War was doing Ashenvale, though I'll address that a bit later.

2. Concerning the titles of ranks in the guild. Recently a post came out, which was deleted because it did include the name explicitly of our stuff, that was talking about a title given to one of my officers. The post included a mistranslation, saying it translated to queen. That's just blatantly not true. For some background, the position was a recent creation because our previous council system wasn't working too well for this branch so we downsized it to the main officer in charge of the branch of the guild.

Given that this is our pagan project, and they have their own language (which yes, we do proxy with Irish cause I'm not a linguist and I don't have the means or time to make my own language up), we used an amalgam of a few words to describe it. The title roughly translates to an arbitrator of law/leader of law. Not king, not queen. In fact it's not even a noble position either, it's an elected one that if Aleyina were to ever step down, it'd go to whoever was elected next. We use the title Grand Master, Spymaster, Rionasai, and a few others throughout the guild. They're all on the same level of 'power', and countless other guilds have similar structure. I'm not sure what drove the need to lie about that but I'd just like to clear that misconception up before I go into my next point.

3. Concerning the pagan project in my guild. My guild has had a pagan project in it for roughly 4-5 years. I put up the original article for it about almost a year after we started it. It's a story I personally started back in Mists of Pandaria and have cultivated alongside several others for years, it's something I only recently managed to hand off into other people's hands for running it because I couldn't focus on it, I have other narratives and stories that I tell in my guild, but here's the proof of how old this story is. (Note, at the time the Pagans were called "Wickers", which is actually where the whole drust meme even comes from on our side.)

https://i.imgur.com/7rgG9t5.png

I was fascinated with the bare minimal lore that Blizzard provided for the Old Ways and Harvest Witches/Wizards that I tried to expand on that by making a group of people based around the ideology of an expanded religion that roots its self from a common point in druidism.

What started originally as a side group grew into an entire branch of our guild and has since been something I've personally invested years worth of time growing and developing as a writing project alongside others. We've made a point of making nearly everything in this branch original content and it's at the point it's at after four to five years of growth and development alongside the main narrative of the guild. It's a project that I have personally cultivated with the help of others for years and has been personally invested into by the guild as a whole through nearly three expansions now.

On top of it, a while ago we were accused of having said our runes were celtic or something. That's not true. They're stylized elder futhark, we've never bothered to hide that. In fact, I've attached some images below.

https://i.imgur.com/q5MHveU.png

This is an image from Varian's grave in Stormwind. The runes are translatable elder futhark, and this is the closest representation to Common we have in the game.

https://i.imgur.com/C9jc7sG.png

This is an image from Haustvald in Stormheim. These runes too are Elder Futhark, though they've been slightly stylized and include some runes that are gibberish it's meant to represent Vrykul. The angle's a little bad but if you go there in game Elder Futhark is literally lining most of Stormheim. You can translate these as well, it's pretty nifty.

The premise of our written language for the project we have for runes has never been 'celtic', we just based it off whatever Blizzard ended up saying was 'humanity's language'. Our group takes some minor inspiration from norse and celtic themes, but the majority of it is original writing, and the runes themselves are based around the idea of having descended from vrykul runes; so we just kept to the format that Blizz themselves are using for humans in the game.

4. Concerning Flames of War. While this one has largely died down, I'd still like to address it. Flames of War is a team effort, something with over ten coordinators that all of us still actively communicate with one another fairly regularly. During this time I'd been claimed as a dictator, or that I was giving special attention to myself/my own. Flames of War has never been solely 'dictated' by my actions. Every major decision has been either voted on or come to consensus one way or another, including story decisions. Sure I'm the dude who made the server but I've forfeited any real 'power' that gives me in favor of a council system. Ergo, if you're mad at me for something that happened in Flames of War, I highly encourage you to re-assess the things that happened and either speak to myself or another coordinator. We're not in this for some weird power play or whatever, this is a video game in the end of the day and unlike some past 'moguls of the server', I'm earnestly just looking to make my virtual barbie doll be in some cool situations, not make him grand poobah of the alliance or whatever. I can speak on behalf of the rest of the team and say they feel the exact same way.

5. Concerning our adherence to lore. I know there's been some people who have accused my guild of breaking lore/saying I don't care about lore. Anyone who knows me knows I'm a giant lore fanatic and for whatever reason people use me like an almanac in a few servers for lore questions. I really honestly do try to keep the boundaries of my guild within reasonable lore parameters. Despite the rumors, no, my character doesn't have regular casual chats with Genn Greymane, no, our lands are not 'flawless with millions of gold and soldiers', no, we don't RP like we run Gilneas either. All we're trying to do is have fun with the game and tell a story of a rundown kingdom trying to get back on it's feet.

6. Concerning deleted secrets. Yes, I've requested secrets be deleted before because, honestly, ever since this nick-name stuff started it's stopped being remotely ambiguous. Sword of Genn isn't even remotely ambiguous. Neither is Knives of Greymane, that's just changing one word. The rules for the blog on the side state anything that can be considered trolling or abuse of anonymity is grounds for removal of secrets; so I've just used those rules since honestly, a lot of these are really weird accusations. Each time I've been willing/or have provided screenshots to prove the contrary. Not all secrets concerning my guild have been deleted; only the ones that break the rules. This segways into my final point.

As I said at the beginning of this huge post, I've always been a believer of transparency. If you have issue with me, or any of my guild mates, I'm honestly imploring people to contact me over Discord or in game. My tag is:

Berenal#0693 In game it's just Berenal, no weird letters. I'll be online in Boralus.

You don't need to contact me on your main account if you're afraid I'm going to 'out you' or whatever. Any conversation we have will be one on one between us. You can even delete it afterwards, I don't mind. So come to me on a throw-away discord account, let it out to my face, or maybe we can even hash out our differences. I'm more interested in getting this shit done with than trying to start a flame war, honestly. In the end of the day this is a game to me and mine, and we're all paying 15 bucks a month to have fun. I've cleared out my block list entirely, so there's nothing stopping people from contacting me.

I do hope folks reach out so we can hash our differences out and do our own thing, instead of whatever vendetta seems to have brewed up over play pretend for god knows what reason. I earnestly don't understand the point of the majority of these vitriolic posts; it just seems to subsist off the idea of throwing words around for what real reason? To upset people? I don't get it. I don't see what posting incessantly here about it does to fix anything.

If you've got issue with me or my guys come talk to me about it, my door's open.
