I know there are people who avoid OOC interaction entirely to avoid meta knowledge tainting their portrayals and I definitely can't live like that but I've always had memory issues and there is so much different stuff bouncing around in my head anymore that I don't know how to keep straight what has been revealed ic and what hasn't anymore :') constantly paranoid I'm going to unintentionally metagame because I can't remember anything ever
Uhhh I don't usually do this but I'm stuck in a bit of a funk. If anyone sees this and feels like telling me something you like about my writing/characterization it'd mean a lot. Don't force it though <3
R, C, M
Decided to make things fun and roll a die for each of these and pick one of my other main muses that I haven't written on tumblr to answer for as well!
R - Rebel - Do they follow rules, bend or break them? Do they find rebelliousness in others attractive?
Ava - I think this one is fairly obvious lmao. Ava doesn't give a shit about rules until the consequences are so dire that they literally can't ignore them. Rules that are enforced by Creeper or Reboot are the only rules that they care to observe. Otherwise they are pretty happy to do whatever they want forever. Unsurprisingly, this is also a trait they find attractive in other people.
Dot - It's a bit complicated. Deep down, Dot's biggest obstacle to breaking rules is not so much because of a personal adherence to them as it is due to anxiety about the consequences of breaking them - be they social or otherwise. In practice, she is quite willing to break rules herself, she just tends to be a bit quiet about it. She doesn't so much look for rebelliousness in others as she does people who are nonjudgmental or open-minded.
Dain - Dain prefers to do things in a by-the-book manner, largely because routines and familiarity are comforting to her. She isn't a stickler when it comes to the people around her, though, and she is willing to ignore rules that she believes are unjust or will cause harm. She's easily drawn to certain kinds of rebelliousness, maybe because she feels she lacks the courage to stand out in certain ways and admires it when she recognizes it in others.
C - Caregiver - How do they give/receive care best? Do they care for everyone or just a small number of people? How do they react to someone in need?
Ava - The number of people Ava extends that sort of care towards is small enough to be counted on one hand. Personally, Ava is huge on physical touch as comfort -- both when given and receiving. They also love cooking and they're not above just dumping an entire meal on someone. A stranger in need is likely to be completely ignored, unless a whim strikes them otherwise. Ava isn't one who feels any sort of an obligation towards people they don't know.
Dot - Dot tends to feel awkward and uncertain about how to take care of other people, feeling that she isn't very good at taking care of herself as it stands, though that doesn't mean she won't try. It does mean she mostly limits the people who receive her care to close friends and her partner, though. She'll bake sweets for anyone fond of them, and offers words of kindness and affirmation when she's able to. If she finds herself in a position to help someone out of her circle of friends, she may do so if she feels the means, but she typically won't go out of her way for it. She isn't really one to play hero.
Dugar - It's somewhat AU dependent, but in what I'm going to call his main verse for now, caregiving is what he does best! He's a traveling doctor, and takes his vocation very seriously, spending many a waking hour learning about the newest techniques and advances in medicine that are available to him. He's worked hard to overcome his natural shyness and become someone who could be said to have a good bedside manner. Regardless of setting, he's very much a bleeding heart, and won't hesitate to offer help to anyone he deems in genuine need of it. This, of course, has the potential downside of leading to him overextending himself. He's a people person through and through, and will prioritize others over himself without hesitation.
M - Miracle Worker - Who or what do they consider to be a miracle? Do they believe in magic?
Ava - No points for guessing what counts as a miracle for Ava. They have been privy to Creeper's demonstrations of what the viral entity is capable of, the ways he has broken into the physical world are probably the biggest things they would count as 'miracles'. They know no shortage of gods or godlike beings, but due to their bias as a digital being and infected they tend to find others' powers less impressive -- those other deities didn't break into an entire world not compatible to them on a deep level, after all. Naturally, they aware of the existence of magic in either realm, so it would be a bit silly for them to not believe in it.
Dot - Dot isn't really one for ascribing things to miracles. Things may happen by strange coincidence, or be highly unlikely, but she still believes that there always, deep down, a scientific explanation for anything. She's a being of magic and uses it herself, so she's intimately familiar with it.
Jakkai - If Jakkai has any sort of a belief in miracles, it would be of the sort that miracles can only happen when people put in effort to make them happen. She'd never be one to sit around waiting for something to happen. If she cares enough to want something to change, she's going to do something about it. Her views on magic will naturally be dependent on setting, but she's not particularly superstitious by nature and is unlikely to view magic as a potential explanation for anything in a realistic setting. In fantasy settings, she doesn't have a strong affinity for magic, with the sole exception of the kind that can be used to enhance her body's capabilities (think D&D monk), but she views it as an enhancement that works alongside training and discipline, not a replacement.

I have not even finished FF7 Remake but there is a part of me that really wants to pick up an FF7 muse
// @gryph-rp-hub Unbothered, moisturized, happy, in his lane, focused, flourishing
characters who are pathologically deceptive and construct elaborate facades to conceal themselves behind think they're safe from me. lol. i can read plenty into what you fill in the negative spaces of your personality with but cute effort.
i love u characters who are victims who don't show things in a way that's appealing i love u characters whos trauma leaves them with anger issues, with violence issues, with issues with connection and trust and being truthful i love you characters who don't get "better" in a way that's palatable, who don't find growth and meaning in their trauma
hey, I'm still around! currently still trying to work out how to make my extremely limited energy levels work with all the things that I want to be doing, so in place of content, here's Ava in BG3.
i'll make a new oc and they're all you'll hear about for a week. i'm like a reverse victor frankenstein. have you seen my horrible creature isn't he wonderful. look what i made.

Hey there, it's been a while.
I am really at a loss for direction or how to jump back into things, but I miss writing, and I miss all the really neat OCs I got to write with.
For now I'll probably lurk and look for ask memes to reblog. If you have me on discord, feel free to tag me if you're interested in interaction!
Problem solved~! Hoohoohoohoohoo!
Just to be clear -Â
    Even if we have never interacted, you are more than welcome to send me memes. Sentence memes, text memes, questions about my muse. It’s a great way to start something new between muses. If you want to interact, but none of my starters are interesting, send me a meme. If you want to know my muse better, send me a meme. If you just have nothing better to do and want to see if something will develop between our muses, send me a meme.Â
I deeply miss actively IC blogging but I tend to get very stuck in the “what to post about” category. Hopefully after I get my move all sorted out I will be able to start taking some steps because I miss my muses and I miss everyone else’s muses too.
One of my favorite things is when a character does or says something nice and they’re like “don’t tell anyone about this, I have a reputation” it’s so funny they’re literally like I’m okay with being nice but I draw the line at other people knowing that I’m nice
“You are the most unlikable person with 18 Charisma I’ve ever met.”
“I can choose not to use it.  The orc has a high Strength, that doesn’t mean he HAS to be lifting things all the time.”
general psa that i will NEVER be upset with you for taking forever/never answering something i send youÂ
we all have lives outside of this and muses are fickle like, i get it and i never want anyone to be afraid that i’d hold it against them like if i send you a meme and you’re not feeling it? you don’t need to answer it
if we plot something and i make a starter and you’re not feeling it anymore? that’s okay too. even if halfway through a thread it feels like it’s going nowhere so you wanna drop it? that’s 100% okay
honestly? you don’t even need to let me know you’re dropping something/not answering something like im not here to pressure you or bug you about replies and i don’t care if you’re actively writing with other people  or anything, like if you’re not interested in writing something with me i won’t take it personally
and even if you don’t want to drop something and take literal months to answer? that’s chill like me too okay
and all i ask is that you extend the same courtesy to me <3Â
