Sign up for King and Country. For Honor and Glory. Do your part. It started that way. Eager enthusiasm to serve one's country. But it didn't stay that way. The moment one had to put a seventeen-inch blade through another man and watch the light fading from his eyes it changed something. It changed when the bombs started falling and disintegrated a man right before your very eyes. It changed when you listened to young boys crying out for their mothers as they died tangled up in the muddy barbed wire in no man's land where nobody could reach them to render aid. No. There was no honor and there was no glory here. Only pointless waste of lives. Defeatists talk they would call it, but he knew the truth. The only ones to call it defeatist were rich old men with something to gain. Thunder rumbled in the distance, and he sighed heavily to himself, knowing a cold rain would only bring with it more discomfort and suffering. Adjusting he tried to make himself as comfortable as he could within the small dugout in the side wall of the trench that served for a bed. No mattress and a helmet made for a poor pillow, but it was what they had. A few soldiers on patrol made their way back and forth through the trenches. The mood had become very somber. No longer was it the jovial banter of stating they would be home before Christmas. There was no end in sight.
WHAT LOW ACTIVITY & SLOW REPLY MEANS:
it means i want to be here, i really do
it means that i have, whether i like it or not, more important things to do than roleplay at the moment
it means that replies are going to sit for a moment
WHAT IT DOESN’T MEAN:
that i care any less
that i don’t want to talk / plot with you
that you aren’t allowed to IM me or ask for my disco
Sometimes Tumblr has to take a back burner, and that’s fine! Roleplay will still be here when we get back. So take that day to yourself. Don’t worry about drafts. Don’t worry about how “slow” you are being. Everything is okay!
"Not at all, Captain. You needn't explain yourself to machinery." He folded his hands behind his back and observed the creature carefully. Of course, it didn't exactly surprise him that the UC would be interested in such a dangerous creature. "I rather find it fascinating."
He thought he may as well stay in the cargo bay with the creature just to be certain. After all it was much safer if he was the one to do it... the creature would undoubtedly be able to sense he was not the usual target as much as he may look the part and leave him be. "I wouldn't recommend it, Captain. If a ship picks it up it could spell disaster. Not only for the ship, but for any planet it lands upon. Some parasites can go into stasis for years until something warm blooded comes along."
"You brought a man-eating parasite onto the ship?"
heres the lobotomite pride flag! light blue represents the thinktanks, pink represents our brains when they get scooped out of us, and the dark blue represents the sadness of never knowing what the fuck is going on!!
it’s a little bit ridiculous and silly to expect oc’s to have fully completed biographies and all the details finished before they enter rpc. oc’s are a constant development. the canon characters you love had years of being developed, edits, beta testers, rewrites etc. and people’s portrayals of them continually change and grow within rp. roleplay is collaborative and part of that is with oc’s, a lot of the finer detailers can only be fleshed out through writing. the only place they have to go through that development process is through threads and plotting. and it’s a beautiful thing to get to be there from the start to have your muse be integral to the development of your partner’s character.
of course, i get needing the basic information, that is definitely rp etiquette. but expecting oc’s to have to have months or years worth of developmental work somehow just magically done in mere days to fit some wack standard is just kind of stupid as fuck tbh
"Dinnae ken and I'm not exactly keen to find out." He knew what a siren sounded like and that unfortunately wasn't one. But maybe they were overreacting? Maybe it was something harmless. Sounded bigger than it was. It was better to be cautious though he supposed, considering they hadn't the faintest clue what was happening or where everyone else had gone. It had to take a lot for the guns to go silent. "No." It wasn't too far, just up ahead and thankfully they managed to arrive without incident. Didn't look like anyone had survived the crash either... they wouldn't have company inside. For better or for worse.

What is it about anonymously poking fun at others and making them feel shitty for what they enjoy/have created that is enjoyable for people? Does toxicity and negativity really make you feel better? Does it make you smile? Do you enjoy seeing a small fandom dwindling because the members no longer feel welcome?
Everyone who creates and contributes to the HL fandom in any positive way should feel so proud of themselves for helping to bolster the community. A nice comment on a post or a reblog with gushing tags means so much.
Nothing nice to say? Keep your miserable thoughts to yourself.
It's easy to say to 'just block' a blog or tags, but you're delusional if you think an obviously targeted post won't make its way back to that person. People talk.
The lack of empathy is astounding.
PSA: I do not have a great deal of rules. I try to be very flexible for my partners. That being said... 1. Heavily Bethesda verse (Fallout, Starfield and Elderscrolls if possible) (Will also do Alien series, Star Trek anything that has androids) 2. Willing to do romance, but only if it feels right and has built up over time. 3. I will not write graphic smut. We can fade to black, but that is it. 4. Should go without saying if you think pedo shite is okay then DNI. You're not allowed here. 5. I have a terrible phobia of snakes so please don't post snake pics in our RP if you use icons in RP. 6. Don't trash religions. Let people believe what they want. 7. Please don't talk politics with me. I don't want to hear it. I'm here to RP and have fun not listen to BS. 8. You don't have to match my length in RP, but please give me something to work with instead of a one-liner "s/he smiled" response. 9. Do not godmod me. That is fail RP. You want my character to look at you? Guess what now he's gonna look at that tree over there. 10. I am mostly text based, but I do not mind if you use icons or fancy texts provided it is legible. 11. I cannot trim posts with 'the new tumblr' so I will do a 'continued from X' and that will just have to sit at the top of the reblogs like some odd title. 12. I will not leave tumblr to RP on Discord please stop asking. 13. I'm very sporadic in activity. Don't worry I'm not going to demand you 'send me a password' to prove you read this. We're on the honor system here, friend.
