Hello, hello!

[cutecabaret]

 My tumblr url(s): 
All-Women-Kick-Ass
themaryiestsuetoeversue (the rp blog)

I'm not actually actively posting on either blog because I already backed everything up, but I do lurk and respond to private messages still. 

Other sites: Discord is personal, but I'm also cutecabaret on ao3. I have no works at the moment, though. 

My Fandoms: Ahaha...I've been so out of fandom as a whole lately, let me see if I can remember... Yu Yu Hakusho, Katekyou Hitman Reborn, Inuyasha, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, World of Darkness/Chronicles of Darkness, Persona 4/5, Trauma Center franchise, Sims, Carmilla the web series, Uglies YA novel franchise...currently engrossed in Crusader Kings 2 at the moment too. I float around a lot and am all over the place as a lurker/fandom consumer, but I'm hoping DW gets me to produce more content. I'm probably into a lot more than this list covers and I just forgot about them, whoops.

Non-fandom interests: Cats, goth subculture, writing as a craft, medicine and biology, history, animal behavior, disability related things. Tabletop gaming, video games as a whole, literature as a whole, vampires. Whatever new exciting thing catches my fancy.

What I post: Judging by my personal tumblr, most of my content is probably going to be personal shitposts, maybe an art post or two, rambling about my life and what's happening in it. Babbles about being a baby GM, gushing about pets, memories of tumblr (i really am going to miss it), blurbs about RP fun, bits of writing/oc things I want to/am working on. Video game pics and stories. Venting. 

Access/Commenting: The journal itself is SFW but there may be a few NSFW/Adult posts here and there. Anon commenting is allowed and only anon is screened for now, no ip logging. Access is given to personal friends only but friends-only posts will be very few and far between. I expect everybody in the comments to be civil, and absolutely no anti nonsense, please!

Anything else: I'm autistic, chronically ill with ???, and a lesbian, so personal posts about things of that nature will come up frequently. I'm also really new to DW format, so please bear with me as I figure everything out. I can already foresee myself fumbling HTML and CSS a lot. I like and write dark fic and triggering things sometimes too, always behind cuts/warnings. I do still sort of RP but DW format is not one I'm interested in (I have way too many icons for the cap, first of all) and at some point I'm probably gonna jury rig some sort of Discord hub for my RP (with crossposting to AO3). I'll probably mention it here when it happens.

ooh! i'm excited to hear about your transition into dm-ing! i'm a relatively new ttrpg player, and i really want to try my hand as a gm someday soon!

[cutecabaret]

Not gonna lie, it's work. There's planning, coordinating everybody's schedules to even show up, etc. But it's still fun! I have a lot to learn though and have made tons of mistakes but luckily my players are all good sports.

[casualbird]

so i've heard! i see my gm do that sort of work all the time. he's a great guy, and he gets REALLY in tune with scheduling so that he can get people together when he wants for games or just to hang out. i'm a pretty close friend of his, and last semester he recited my entire weekly schedule to me and only missed ONE thing.

he did tell me one thing about dm-ing. if you make a mistake, it's a home-brew rule. and that makes me feel better when i think about starting to dm.

[cutecabaret]

I feel like that rule really depends on your friend group? I know for mine the big priority we have is admitting mistakes happened and working around them.

Communication is probably gonna be the big thing, I think. Make sure everybody is always on the same page about things at all times.

Hi! We're into a lot of same stuff. Anyone who knows their World from their Chronicles is all right by me, I am also a chronically ill autistic goff, and I want someone to help me find the actual game in Crusader Kings 2 because it seems potentially cool but there's no onboarding there at all.

Also, may I recommend joining vampirethevarious on here? It does come with me as a moderator, but that's not entirely a bad thing. Except for me not having a clue how to actually run a community. We'll figure it out.

[cutecabaret]

I did in fact peep over at that community and join, haha.

A lot of Paradox games are like that, I noticed. I have around 100 hours in and I still have no idea what I'm doing but failure is part of the fun. I think the big issue is that the UI is really confusing - I've been told to skip the ingame tutorial, start as someone in Ireland in the 1066 run for a few games until you get the hang of it but eh. I just google where a button is in the ui whenever I need to do something. It helps if you like history too.

hi there! i think we only have Yu Yu Hakusho in common, but i like the way you write and i'd like to add you :3

[cutecabaret]

Go ahead! I warn you I need to probably reread the manga to catch up on a lot of stuff and I'm really rusty with it, lol.

[typerare]

no worries! i'm still watching the anime for the first time and have never read the manga at all.

[cutecabaret]

I actually really recommend the manga! Honestly, I think you should watch the anime AND read the manga as they differ in vital ways, especially the ending and early chapters.
