Don’t be a dick. Respect me, others, etc. Don’t send anon hate, don’t vague post on the dash. If someone does something that you don’t like, whether that’s something that squicks you or just writes their muse in a way you don’t think is accurate, you have multiple options available to you. The one good thing about tumblr is that you have so much control over what you see and when you see it. Blacklist, block, etc

Also, if you have a DNI in your rules, I’m unlikely to follow you back. You have a right to make your dash comfortable for you, but you don’t have the right to put others in positions where you get to make those decisions for them.

Selective, private. What this means is that I will only roleplay with you if we’re mutually following eachother and I’m only the slightest bit picky about who I follow. Typically, as long as I don’t see any red flags, I will follow someone back, however, if I don’t there’s a few reasons why. If a blog has heavy sexual content without tags/primarily a smut blog (there’s no shame in writing smut, but you know if you’re a primarily smut blog) or is heavy on non-fandom related content. OOC posts are fine, but lots and lots of random reblogs that don’t have anything to do with the fandom or aesthetic stuff just floods my dash. Sometimes I just don’t think we’ll vibe and that’s nothing personal. If you're an underage mun or if you write child muses, or if you write oc child of/relative of canon characters. I am a little more flexible on this last one, but it is incredibly rare and usually requires us to have been friends before hand and for you to write the canon relative of your own oc.

I will typically follow you back within 24-48 hours, unless you see me make comments about not being able to be online for a while.

Please note that I do NOT follow muns under the age of 18.

If I have followed you, I DO want to rp with you. I am not someone particularly interested in reading other people's content, even if it is amazing. I am here to do my hobby-- so if you're following me just to boost your own follower count, please do not. I understand we can both be busy and we might not be able to start anything for a while, but reaching out ooc every now and again is infinitely helpful in this regard. I understand you might have anxiety; it just so happens that I do too. In fact, almost all of the roleplayers on tumblr have anxiety, I've found. It is, therefore, unfair to expect the other person to always make the first move. I typically will make some kind of contact first, but please don't always expect me to.

I work Sun-Wed, 630 pm to 5 am, and occasionally my job calls mandatory overtime (every week Nov-Jan), where I work sun-wed, 630 pm to 6 am and Friday, 630 pm to 7 am. My writing muse can be fickle. I have a partner to pay attention to, and other people I owe some of my time to. I may sometimes shoot replies and answered asks out to you immediately, and sometimes it might take a week or so. I’m genuinely sorry if this isn’t convenient for you, but I appreciate your patience.

Shipping! I love shipping but I will never assume nor force a ship on you without talking about it with you first, and I please ask that you do the same. Please note that just because I ship something in general (Wintersberg, for example), does not mean I will immediately agree to a ship. Chemistry out of character is as important as in character. Also, if you write Mia and would like to discuss shipping, absolutely come talk to me first! I have very complicated feelings about them, but I am not opposed. I adore writing NSFW headcanons and small snippets, but actual smut in threads is something I have to be comfortable with a writing partner to complete. I am guilty of starting smut threads and having them be the first things to go when I get stressed out or overwhelmed.

Resident Evil has heavy presence of violence, gore, guns, blood, bodily harm, body horror. I will tag appropriately but if you know that these things bother you quite a bit, this blog is probably not for you.

Please tag mothers day, childbirth, and pregnancy for me.

I’m not going to use icons on this blog, except for maybe the occasional generic faceless ones, but you are more than welcome to.

My formatting is pretty limited to small text, with italics to emphasize. If this doesn’t work for you, please let me know and I’d be more than happy to leave my threads and asks for you plain text.

Unless its tagged for you or as “okay to share” PLEASE DON’T REBLOG MY SHIT OH MAN MY BIGGEST PET PEEVE.

Personal blogs get blocked. If you run a sideblog off your personal blog, please message me ahead of time to let me know so I don’t block you.

I delete my own ooc posts after a while. Sometimes a few hours later, sometimes a few days later. I enjoy interacting with my mutuals ooc this way, but I also don’t want my blog to look a mess. Likewise, I tend to unlike posts after a while to keep my likes easy to organize but this does not mean I DISlike the post now. So if I liked a starter call and you made me the starter, I’ll unlike it.

If you write an oc, you’re welcomed here! However, if you write an OC who is a fifth Lord, I am not going to follow since it just doesn’t make sense to me with the Four Lords lore.

Similarly, if you write a character that isn’t an RE canon character (or even an OC), I will likely put any interaction with Ethan in the time between RE 7 and 8 because it’s super unlikely your character is kicking it in the Village.
