#APOCRYPHIS — An Indie & Private portrayal of multiple characters from genshin impact, honkai: star rail, wuthering waves, and zenless zone zero. written by ventium (she/they, 30)
GUIDELINES
INTRO. Hi there! I'm Ventium, 31, she/they pronouns, BST timezone. ACTIVITY. Please do note that this blog, while active on the surface, can be pretty slow, both IC and OOC. I work a full-time job in an office and happen to be autistic with social and sensory processing issues. If you need your rp partners to engage with you intensively in dms/discord to maintain interest and excitement, we probably won't be a good match. If you're looking for someone more chill, with who it's okay to go a few days without yelling about our muses, even if we have ships and everything, then we'll get along great. DNIs. Usual DNI apply, just be a decent human being. Additional DNIs: muns under 23. This blog does not engage in callouts and I would much prefer to keep drama outside my door. Do feel free to warn me if you see me interact with someone you know to be a risk, but do not expect me to join a callout, and do expect me to make my own informed decisions. REASONS FOR NOT FOLLOWING BACK / UNFOLLOWING. I am mutuals-only/private and I curate my own space by not following back or by softblocking as I see fit. Reasons for not following back may include:
- Excessive OOC posts compared to IC writing
- No age or name on the blog
- No rules
- Excessive negativity
- Muse(s) I already interact extensively with
- A feeling that we wouldn't necessarily mesh well together due to different writing paces and expectations.Reasons for softblocking or hardblocking include:
- Inactivity
- Lack of engagement (asks never get replied to, starters I write for you never turn into threads, threads are dropped on a regular basis after a couple of replies...)
- Realising that after all we may not mesh all that well - it happens, it's okay!As I said, I do not expect constant engagement or interactions, but I do expect a degree of mutuality. I am here to write first and foremost, so if no writing actually happens (even despite extensive plotting or ooc discussions for instance), I will take it as a sign that our engagement styles may just not be compatible - again, that is okay, but needs to be acknowledged before anyone gets disappointed! OCs AND CROSSOVERS. My key principle with OCs and crossovers is that interactions can happen within the Genshin/HSR/ZZZ/WuWa universes, depending on who you are interested in. OCs are most welcome to interact: all I ask is that you please have an easy-to-access information page and a relevant verse for us to interact in. If I cannot see how our muses would interact, I am very unlikely to follow back. The same goes for non-hoyo or non-wuwa muses: I may not be familiar with the fandom your muse originates from, and I have neither the time nor energy nor desire to dive into an entirely different lore when I specifically write those muses because I like the worlds they originate from. So, for both OCs and crossover muses: please have an about or verses page with the relevant information easily accessible, otherwise, I am very unlikely to follow back or, for multis, to interact. DUPLICATES. Ironically enough for a multi, I must admit to my regret that I do have some reluctance with following back duplicates of some of my muses. However, my duplicate 'anxiety' is not something for you to worry about: it is my problem, and it is on me to make my own space comfortable! I have some muses I have zero issues with dupes for, and some muses where my brain goes a little more brr. Again, nothing for you to worry about, I am old enough to curate my own space by either not following back or applying other strategies.The same logic applies for duplicate dynamics, but mostly because I don't want to accidentally step on anyone's toes. If duplicate dynamics happen, I'll ensure they are all very different from one another!
If you are the same and unsure about what dynamics I already have solidly established, you can see them on my Connections page. MAINS AND EXCLUSIVITY. I do practice mains and exclusivity, and you can find the full list on my bonds page, which I revisit every now and then to add or remove people as I see fit. If six months go by without an interaction on either side, especially IC, I will remove the dynamic from my page, and we can pick it back up at a later time. I generally accept up to three iterations of the same mains pairing (for example three wanderer mains for nahida), and in cases of such duplicates, I ensure that the nature of the relationship and the developments are unique to each version because my mains are not interchangeable.As for ship exclusivity, I do prefer it, but will not enforce it. If you have a duplicate ship with one of my muses, as long as you ensure both ships are very different and not interchangeable, I am happy. Naturally, I will return the favour if such a scenario arises on my end. Exclusive dynamics are marked with a * on my bonds page. SHIPPING. I love shipping, but it is not the primary focus of this blog and I like to take my time to develop romantic relationships. I am a slowburn fiend, and I prefer to keep romantic bonds for people I am comfortable with and who I know are genuinely okay with my slow writing pace and spotty ooc presence. If you are interested in shipping, please know that a ship is not going to magically unlock my ability to constantly engage with you and yell 24/7 about our muses. If you are okay with that, then I strongly encourage you to reach out to discuss a ship, and I can guarantee long-term development and feels galore! This blog will also include nsfw/adult/sexual content, albeit only with my shipping/rp partners who are comfortable with it.Please also note that if I notice that you drop a dynamic of ours the moment you find someone who will offer you the romantic version of that dynamic faster than I did, without communication or explanation, I will be much more reluctant to suggest or accept a ship in the future. I would much rather build a ship with you because you like my writing and I like yours, than to fill out a quota where any iteration of X muse will do. CONTENT WARNINGS. I tag trigger warnings as triggername tw. A lot of my muses are tied with difficult and dark themes, and everything will be tagged accordingly to the best of my ability. As for me, nothing to tag, but I would appreciate if we could avoid emetophobia/vomit, and I will not under any circumstance write SA/non consensual content. The theme may appear in my muses' backstories but I will not write depictions or any such scenes.
DO'S
Reach out to me if you want to discuss dynamics! I don't bite!
Feel free to turn ask replies into threads - no need to ask for permission, within reason (just don't do it for every single ask reply especially if you send me a lot of memes vdjhb)
Break the ice by hopping in my dms or sending a meme! My memes tag is in my pinned post, and memes don't have an expiration date. Whether you want a neat little icebreaker or just feel like reaching out, the inbox is always open.
Communicate! If there is an issue, I would much rather know about it and address it than let it fester.
Pop off in my DMs - I may be slow but I will get to them and my enthusiasm does not waver even if life is busy on my end and takes away my time or energy!
Tell me if there is a pairing you've been dreaming of writing, no matter how many dynamics we already have.
Drink water and hot chocolate and look after yourself, you deserve it.
DO NOT'S
Pressure or guilt-trip me because I am not as fast as you expected (if you have read my rules you should have been more than warned by now) or because you see me interacting with other people.
Rope me into drama.
Make assumptions about my energy levels or relationships with others based on what you see on the dash.
Ignore my boundaries.
CREDITS
a * next to a dynamic indicates exclusivity for this pairing and this type for dynamic only (ex: i have an exclusive romantic bond for neuvillette with a wriothesley, but would be happy to develop a platonic dynamic between neuvillette and another wriothesley)
for non-exclusive dynamic, i will happily accept up to three iterations of the same pairing/dynamic (ex: three main wanderers to nahida)
'developing' just means the dynamic is... well. developing, or otherwise complicated and not friendly, romantic, or familial
