“Are they following me because they’re interested in rping or do they just need the follow-back follower count?”

I’ve been seeing this a lot lately and I understand if people get miffed about it. I would be too. And I think it’s a good call to try and interact with folks by calling attention to it.

let it be known though

if I follow you but we never rp, it’s not that i’m using you to get my follower count up.

I’m just rlly bad at making the first move.

Follower count doesn’t mean squat to me since I know that it usually ends up being like, dead blogs I’ll never see again. So yeah. 

This is a post where I’m encouraging you, the reader, to make the first move. Just try and talk to the people you follow, even if you don’t think they’d be interested in rping ( provided you follow their rules on contact, mutuals, ect ). Maybe they wanna rp? Maybe they don’t. Your chances can only increase if you come with an idea to bring to the table, so just try it!

Maybe a friendship will happen, maybe it won’t. But at the VERY LEAST you can say you tried.

Thanks Wilson

PSA

theres a new product by verzion called “hum” that allows your parents to track your car and places you go, if your parents are controlling like mine please check under your steering wheel to make sure that they havent installed this

here is what it looks like installed:

you can read more about it here, and here- this excerpt sums up what information Hum will send: 

“a car’s owner will be able to get notified on their phone when the vehicle leaves a pre-determined area or drives faster than a set speed… [Hum] will enable location tracking and a driving log, which measures travel times, engine idle times, and average speeds.” 

People in abusive relationships, please check your cars.

DO NOT TRY TO UNPLUG IT BY YOURSELF!

Again, here’s something for my American friends. Please take care.

He tilted his head before realizing what Red was doing. Dexson giggled. “Nice observation,” He chirped.

After some toil, their yield was about 4 red gems, 3 blue gems, some chips of wood, a few pieces of gold, and plenty of chipped rock.

“We can make do with the other materials too. Maybe stone can be used for foundation for the machine.”

You know what would be a cool thing? If rp partners tried flipping the script for a thread and like gave each other a couple of icons and tried to play the other one’s character for just a few replies and then they talked about it afterward giving each other feedback and maybe explaining why they did certain things.

Because on top of being fun it would be a really hands on way to see if you’re presenting your character how you want them to be seen.

Doc happily sat where there’d be room for the both of them. Luckily it made two of them that weren’t sure how to act on a date. He gestured for Maxwell to perhaps join him if he wanted to.

"Err. Good question. Venison steak, perhaps? Maybe some wine and something green. But these things are a two way street, eh? So, what did you have in mind?" Doc was a simple, easy-to-please man. He was just glad to see he wasn't being avoided like the plague.

He wanted to keep Maxwell comfortable and content. Loneliness hurt. He hated returning to it.

Doc smiled and gently rubbed Wilson’s back. “Of course, friend. Maybe instead of a remedy, things like that fade with a routine?”

Dexson nodded and started hacking away at another. “We’ll need to find purple ones and perhaps orange. Orange ones are so rare,” he mumbled.

Getting those would require toiling in areas the young vampire was never comfortable being in. "Only ever seen them in ancient battle sites."

ok firstly I’m traumatized, not crazy, so jot that down
