they aren’t even nightmares
they’re memories.
Friendly reminder not to exclude roleplayers based on their choice of theme, ability to make graphics, ability to reply quickly, or choice of face claim. By choosing not to write with these people because their themes aren’t pretty, or their face claim is overused, you could be missing out on an incredible writer that may challenge you and encourage you to grow as a writer. Not only that but you could be missing out on gaining a wonderful friend.
Ability to code/make graphics/pick themes does not reflect ability to write.
What you should consider in a writing partner is how you connect with them, whether your writing styles go together or clash, whether or not you’re both comfortable with the same verses, whether they respect your triggers or not, whether you get along or not, etc. Talk to people, discuss interests, discuss plots, have fun! Making a beautiful graphic can be fun but not everyone is able to do that, isn’t it just as enjoyable to receive an epic mood board and a list of head canons from someone who is as passionate about writing as you are?
psa !! at least in regards to my own blog, please do not be afraid to drop a thread. without warning, without reason. I know better than anyone what kind of anxiety trying to tell someone can bring up, and I won’t think any less of you because of it. also, please don’t be afraid to not respond to a starter I’ve posted for you. if you get busy, you’re not feeling it, other things steal your attention, you just plain forget or you just can’t – for any reason – then please. don’t. you don’t have to announce it to me, either !! I, once again, won’t think less of you and I, once again, know what kind of anxiety confrontation can bring up and I know how bad the fear of a backlash can be. your health, your happiness? that is what matters to me. I hold no expectations of you other than for you to have yourself a good time. period. please. enjoy yourself !! that’s what you’re here for. :)
and please note that this is my opinion concerning my blog and my partners. you don’t have to agree with it, and I’m not telling the community they should act in any which way. just telling those I write with what I’m okay with. thanks!
i could go on for hours about the sudden crack and separation
i imagine it like concrete after it’s rained and experienced a really cold night. the water seeps in and it freezes and pushes the concrete apart. wow krem metaphorsin his confidence at this very moment. :’))))) his stutter says it all. and the fact that he said “there’s no way that can be true.” NOTE HIS WORDING. “there’s no way that can be true.” he’d normally say “that isn’t true,” if he were EXTRA sure of himself. not here though, because he’s doubting himself already. it’s already there, planted in his mind the moment it was introduced. it’s like he went to start, so positive of himself, but then his subconsciousness caught up with him and suddenly he wasn’t so sure because here’s a example of what he could be, what very well may be him at this point, because for four years (at that point in time) that was all he knew. and he hadn’t remembered going through the gate of truth because his memory hadn’t returned to him yet, so it was literally like … human - blank space - suit of armor for him as far as recalling it goes. it just kills me because this changed him in a fucking blink of an eye. that innocence of a young boy so sure of himself was gone in that moment. first real insecurities fuck with you.i just think about alphonse and cry sometimes, okay. leave me be.

Rules
Hello! Nice to meet you, I’m Caine. Just a couple guidelines here:
♔ All questions are welcome.
♔ Muse is of age, mun is not. Please do not start a thread involving sexual themes.
♔ Mun has a severe phobia of bugs, especially arachnids. This isn't likely to happen anyway, but just to make sure, please don’t send me pictures/detailed descriptions of bugs, and please, please tag your bugs. I will unfollow. If you’re uncertain of whether something bug-involved will be okay or not, don’t hesitate to ask.
♔ Always accepting headcanons, memes, and drabble requests! Seriously, mun loves memes like nothing else.
♔ Random starters, crossovers and such are welcome. Please don’t be shy or hesitate to contact me.
♔ Unless otherwise specified, my starters and opens will generally be for mutuals only. But, you can definitely make a starter for me! We don't have to be mutuals for that.
♔ Please don’t be rude. Don’t godmod my muse, don’t force ships, don’t drop off the thread without briefly notifying me first. Thanks :-)
♔ I do ship Lingfan, but even then I ship chemistry above all others, meaning no pre-established romantic relationships, please.
♔ Please tag all contact as iinvxctus. I tag all contact; it’s just easier to keep track of.
♔ Being semi-selective and private, I will not always follow back. We don’t have to be mutuals to start a thread though, so don't be shy - we can plot anytime! Just come into my inbox and ask.
♔ Concrit is always welcome! This is a no hate blog - let's try to be nice to everyone, okay?
♔ OOC Skype is available to select mutuals; just ask.
♔ No RPing through an ask meme. Please just copy & paste the content into another post - it's so much more convenient that way.
♔ Exclusivity is fine with me, shoot me an ask and we'll work it out.
♔ If you need a specific tag for something don’t hesitate to tell me. And if I forget, just nag until I get it done.

♔ ♔ ♔ Ling Yao accepted Greed into his body as a conduit to the Philosopher's Stone at Greed's core, and fought with Greed's soul for dominance of his body. He has the ability to transmute carbon, creating an impenetrable shell from his skin - the Ultimate Shield.
♔ Ling's soul sometimes overpowers Greed, but it never lasts. Sometimes they even combine their powers in battle, switching sides effortlessly until you can't tell which face is human and which is not.
♔ Being the personification of the sin which he was named for, Greed claims to want everything in the world, but nothing can ever satisfy him. The only thing that Greed really wants is friendship, because friendship cannot be taken - it has to be earned.
Verses
♔ Young Master!:
Ling is a child prince, living in his homeland of Xing. At first glance his life seems idyllic: luxury, royalty, loyal bodyguards, what more could you want? But among plots, treachery, and assassination attempts, the twelfth prince is learning every day just how cruel the Emperor's court can be.
♔ Amestris:
After an arduous journey across the desert, Ling has finally arrived in Amestris, along with his bodyguards, Lan Fan and her grandfather Fuu. He smells blood - the goal is the Philosopher's Stone, the key to immortality, which will ensure that Ling is made the heir to become Emperor. However, something about this country isn't right...♔ Homunculus:
This is my choice. Don't try to stop me! This is...this is what I want!
Ling accepts the homunculus Greed into his body in order to have access to the Philosopher's Stone. He lets Greed take control, but inside Ling waits for the opportunity to strike. This is the only way; he must honor Lan Fan's sacrifice. It's his chance, and he'll grab it with both hands - even if it means becoming a monster.
♔ To be a King:
At last, back home to Xing, with a little sister and the Stone in tow. Ling is named the heir to the throne. The weight of Fuu's death, combined with new responsibility, must make the idealistic young man grow up quickly. The Emperor's seat awaits.
