Seriously, she was one of the biggest inspirations for me wanting to start this blog. She helped me out a lot when I first started and I cannot thank her enough for all her help. Seriously.
And her Dom… What else can I say? Her Dom is the Greatest in the Galaxy! Her portrayal is spot on, and she’s always in character, and it’s always a joy to RP with her. I know Shimmer definitely enjoys it. 😉
“AT LEAST I KNOW NOT TO BITE THE ONES I LOVE!” Shimmer shouted before her eyes grew wide, the words in her head finally registering. She flushed a dark red before walking quickly to the next room.
“But my species…!” Armadia lowered her head. Maybe she was right to avoid affection from the beginning. She clearly wasn’t any good at delivering it to others.
Shimmer took a deep breath as her breathing began to quicken. ‘Holy shit… I told her I loved her… I told her I LOVED her…’
“I CAN’T JUST GET TOUGHER SKIN!” Shimmer shouted. “AND THAT DOESN’T MAKE THINGS BETTER!!!”
“OH, LOOK, I’M SHIMMER! I YELL TO MAKE EVERYTHING BETTER! BLAH, BLAH, BLAAAAAH!”
“AT LEAST I KNOW NOT TO BITE THE ONES I LOVE!” Shimmer shouted before her eyes grew wide, the words in her head finally registering. She flushed a dark red before walking quickly to the next room.
Muns
are the writers, who write back and forth each describing the actions
and words of their of the character they have chosen. I’m going to use
an imaginary person named Sue as the example of a mun.
Muses
are the characters being written about by the muns. Sometimes people
prefer to use character to refer to a muse, but muse seems to be the one
I see the most often. In this case I’m going to use Spider-man as the
muse example.
Threads are the stories written back and
forth by two or more muns about their muses. Let’s say Sue has met Paul
who has Batman as a muse. They write a thread together, which involves a
scenario in which Batman gets bitten by a genetically augmented bat and
Spiderman teaches him to use his new abilities.
Canon
is the official storyline of a show/film/book series that people pick a character
from. So in canon Batman never gets bitten by a bat, and isn’t trained
by Spiderman.
AU is short for Alternate Universe. In our
example Sue and Paul have created an AU where Batman has actual
bat-related powers and fights crime alongside Spiderman.
Verse (or universe) “AUs or places in a
timeline where threads which might take place that are common enough on the
blog to be established things” thanks to @chieftess-of-the-haladin for commenting this on the original post, I had completely forgotten about this one, and it’s definitely important
Starters
are the first post of a thread, which set the scene for the thread.
This blog contains sentence starters, which are things muns can send to
one another via ask to start a thread with. In this case perhaps Paul
sent Sue an ask with “It bit me” which started the entire alternate
universe they have that thread in.
OC is short for original
character, and these are another type of muse people have. In this case
we’re going to use the example of another person named Jude. Jude has
created an OC for the Batman universe named Kevin who is a guard at
Arkham who often ends up in trouble for some reason or another.
Three person Rp (sometimes called Three-person thread) this
is the last one, because now we’re getting into the more complicated
things. If Jude, Paul, and Sue got together and all wrote a thread it
would be one of these, and it can allow for interesting character
development.
OOC means anything Out of Character. So anything the Mun posts that has nothing to do with the Muse, this can be a personal post or something along those lines.
IC means anything In Character, so your threads and the like will be In Character.
M!A is short for Magic Anon. These are usually selectively available on individual blogs but it’s like putting a spell or the like on your muse and an anon gets to decide the conditions of it. It remains to be your decision to accept it or not.
psa — if we’re mutuals, this gives you unsaid permission to attack my inbox whenever you want, as much as you want, with whatever you want. want to spam me with memes? break your ask limit. want to send me random messages? break your ask limit. want to leave me love? break your ask limit. anything. everything. it doesn’t matter what time of day or night, even if i’m not around, you are always welcome. you always have permission. i mean it.
Honestly looking for people who are active(follows tons that aren’t) and don’t mind making starters or me making starters for you even if I followed you first.
Armadia fell back, shrieking a little as the other reacted so violently. “It was not an act of aggression! I was affectionately biting into your flesh! I keep forgetting it’s not as tough as the skin of my species!”
“YOU BIT INTO THE BONE!” Shimmer cried, groaning as she held her hand close to her, using her shirt to try and stop the blood flow.
… This has rarely happened to Armadia before, and never in her human form. But her species did tend to huddle together for warmth … and sometimes they would bite at each other playfully, or as a sign of disgusting affection. She bit for the sake of hurting them.
Still, in this case, that affectionate urge was taking over…
So, gently, she lifted the girl’s hand and bit into it, hard.
Shimmer smiled at Armadia as she rested against her lap. Breathing a rare sigh of content, she laid her head back against the sofa and closed her eyes, listening to the soundtrack of the world as it drove on. As tough as she was, it was little moments like this that brought out the rare good side in her.
Until she felt a set chomp into her hand, strong enough to draw blood. Jumping up in pain and shock, she ended up flinging Armadia off her and clutching her hand in pain. “OOOWWWW!! JESUS CHRIST!! REALLY?!” She shouted, her eyes burning with rage.
