Ijounakame-blog - ᵃᵇᵉʳʳᵃⁿᵗ. ( WIP. )

Uhhhhhhhh, so, kind of an update since I realized I ghosted everybody and their mom and went AWOL. Which I apologize for, because I didn’t mean for that to happen.

As you’ve likely noticed, I’m still not back onto Gospel yet, mostly because Chapter 5 isn’t released yet. If you really want to ask my opinions on anything BATIM-related or otherwise, feel free to hit up @buildourmachine, since that’s my personal sideblog.

Another thing you’ve likely noticed is that I’ve…basically disappeared on the blogs I said I’d be active on. I really haven’t had much muse for those blogs as of late, and I also realized that I’d taken too much onto my plate, some of which was becoming a “finish just to get it done” factor. So I’ve shelved a couple of projects, and I’ll go on HIATUS on my other RP blogs until…

…and this is the big one…

Probably October-November, due to Back To School time at my workplace. For those of you who’ve been with me since I was calling myself TC, you know how this time period wrecks my schedule and my muse. I work, I head home, I relax with friends and head for bed early because I’m so tired. The works.

Now, I will be keeping an ear out for word about Chapter 5 or other big developments to fandoms, but currently I have three projects that I’ve been cultivating at different rates: a small visual novel project ( just for funsies ), a blog ( @fivenightsleft , the Miketrap theory-based Michael Afton I’d had planned prior to making Alice ), and a possible fic ( again, just for funsies ).

And yeah! Just as a small tl;dr:

My muse has been mostly shot, thanks to both taking too many projects and Back to School arriving.

Back to School will basically fuck me up until October-November.

I will be keeping an ear out for Chapter 5.

I’ve got a few small projects in the wings to help me upkeep my writing / etc., being worked on at different rates.

You can contact me at @buildourmachine if you want opinions / clarification / etc. on anything.

Thanks for your time, and again, I do apologize!

                                          In a b l i n kof an eye,

                                                                 I never got to say GOODBYE.

PSA -

VILLAINS ARE VILLAINS.

Villains are not a precious little punching bag that’s going to stand there and take your shit and be sassy with their hand on their hip. If you mess with the bull you get the horns – if you push a villain, you will get the wrath of a villain. If your character is rude/disrespectful to a villain, especially one in a high place of power, and the villain lashes out (whether it be verbally or physically) – 

THEN YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE UPSET ABOUT IT. WHAT DID YOU EXPECT TO HAPPEN?

Don’t write with villain/cruel/evil characters if you can’t deal with a villain/cruel/evil character being less than nice to your precious cinnamon roll of a character. Surprise! That’s not how this works! If the villain suddenly kills your character without having spoken to you first, then you have absolutely every right to be mad. But if your character receives a verbal lashing or non-lethal physical response that is in character for the villain to give, then you need to deal with it. 

I’m also sick of this sense of prerogative way of thinking certain characters hold when it comes to villains. This mindset of, ‘oh this person is evil, bUT OBVIOUSLY THEY’LL LOVE ME AND I’LL BE THEIR SPECIAL SOMEONE THEY WON’T HATE ME OR TRY AND KILL ME.“ NO. STOP THAT. You cannot go into interactions with villains expecting them to absolutely fall in love with your character/be best friends with them. This is why it’s most times excruciatingly difficult to ship/bro-ship with villains. And even if this does happen, you should expect a villain to still be aggressive and/or rude from time to time. 

A VILLAIN DOES NOT STOP BEING A VILLAIN JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE IN A RELATIONSHIP.

I’ve written villains for a long time now, and one thing has been made perfectly clear – you will get shit for writing your character too IC and you will get shit for writing your character too OOC. You will be fucking cursed out for your character being aggressive to those who are rude to them, and you will be blasted for writing them being nice even just from time to time. So fellow villain writers – just let your villain flag fly. Don’t fucking listen to people who try and give you shit either way for your portrayal. To those who do not write villains – respect them. Just because your character is sassy and spunky, doesn’t automatically give them the right to try and be disrespectful to someone who is most likely superior to them.

TL;DR IF YOU CAN’T STAND THE HEAT, GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN. IF YOU CAN’T DEAL WITH SOMEONE BEING CRUEL TO YOUR MUSE, DON’T WRITE WITH VILLAINS.

psa;; please, for the love of god, don’t try to force someone to write with you. it’s uncomfortable enough to have to politely decline the first time; don’t make them more uncomfortable by pestering them. some people have anxiety issues, or feel the need to please everyone. don’t guilt trip them. don’t pressure them. and please don’t be rude if they tell you no. they didn’t owe you a response, but they took the time to write one anyway. accept it graciously. thank them for their time and move on. respect their wishes. be a considerate human being.
