^★ GUIDE.

[ 001.  OPERATION. ]     I'm mutuals only and 21+. I softblock if we haven't interacted for two months; I'm here to write and build dynamics, and I can only assume that if you're here, it's because you want to do so. I won't follow back if you don't have at least a name, age and rules page listed. I keep my following small; I intend to build community with the people I write with, not a fan base.[ 002.  FORMATTING. ]     I use standard sized text, and I use icons as I wish. I avoid flowery purple prose and heavy formatting; if I have to use a thesaurus to decode your reply or your formatting puts strain on my vision (heavily spaced / formatted text, lots of coloring, etc), I will be uninterested. I'm a staunch supporter of accessibility over aesthetics, especially when I see things such as animated text / screenshot pinned posts. I'm begging y'all to make your text accessible. English is my second language, so you're more than welcome here as an ESL writer. Please tag your nsfw accessibly or it's an unfollow from me, one strike policy. Keep it to just 'nsfw /' or something, it's not hard. I should not have 25 variants of the nsfw tag filtered: if you don't tag your smut / nsfw talk accessibly, I'm out.[ 003.  STIPULATIONS. ]     i'm highly unlikely to follow you if there's not a lot of writing on your blog or if it's treated as almost a personal blog. writing goes a long way to make me understand your muse(s) and wanting to interact with you. The same way you're free to post what you want, i'm free to curate my dashboard, and I prefer seeing writing activity. I no longer post starter calls; memes and / or light plotting at your best bet at getting the ball rolling with me.[ 004.  ETIQUETTE. ]     STANDARD SOCIAL ETIQUETTE APPLIES; aka, please be fucking normal. Communicate, be considerate, have some thought about what you write and what you put out there, both in character and out of it. When I say I encourage communication, I mean it: I want to be spoken to, especially if issues arise; we're grown adults, and we should be able to talk things out as such. ANON IS OFF, by the way. I have zero tolerance for how comfortable some of y'all are being nasty. Sorry to the positive fellas, but I err on the side of caution.[ 005.  CURATION + dni. ]     I block liberally; especially if you're from a fandom I don't jive with. DNI if you interact with Tuvalo / Smokey (@docruor / canivo / idk anymore they're a chronic url changer), and if you interact / are friends with Q/Raphael (@indeath) and anyone associated with them.[ 005.1.  media dni. ]     Don't follow me if you write Harry Potter, Stranger Things, Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss, DC/Marvel. No case by case basis or multimuse exceptions, I don't want to see any of this.[ 006.  PERSONAL. ]     I have decided to take a step back socially in '26; as such, I NO LONGER GIVE OUT MY DISCORD. If you ask me for it right off the bat or simply to plot, I WILL TURN YOU DOWN and will also know you haven't really read these. I know Tumblr IMs are not the most accessible, but I genuinely do not mind if you take time to message me back or if you hop blogs. I much prefer to plot through IMs so if you're a Discord oriented person, apologies but I'm not the blog for you.

the red line.  rage and tenderness existing in the same body.
