"Living and dying isn't the real issue. If you cling to being alive, you become frightened and your eyes get clouded. If you don't have that desire to begin with, you can fight on, right to the end of the world."

It’s nearly been a year since I last began this blog. To tell you the truth, I actually made Naoto last April before her birthday hit. Yet I’ve hit 1,200 followers … I think this deserves to finally make a giveaway. It’s not gonna be stuff since I literally don’t have things to give out (but I can offer something else that’s equally good … I think it may be). Since I have Photoshop now, I feel a little confident about giving out icons and using my somewhat okay skill of writing out drabbles, plus you get a starter. Eventually, each place for three winners will get a starter. But the amount of icons (of your request; it doesn’t have to be the muse you are reblogging this from) and drabbles (of your request; it doesn’t have to be the muse you are reblogging this from) will vary. Alrighty then, now that I’ve talked too much … here are the rules for this giveaway.
1. You MUST be following me — you can reblog if you barely follow me after making this post. 2. Reblogs count — you are allowed to reblog this as much as you want (no limitations to reblogs). 3. Likes count — but you can only like this once since I don’t think it’s possible to like this more than one either way. 4. You must be patient with me — I will do my best to give this present for everyone who has followed me and given support. 5. If this does not reach 20 notes by 3/22, I will cancel the giveaway. 6. Final Day to reblog / like this giveaway is 4/6 — on 4/7, the winners shall be announced.

!! Retrieving her pistol, the sleuth grasped firmly to the firearm. Such a presence was capable of alarming the detective of their entrance. Who it may be remains to be unknown … for now. “Who goes there? Reveal yourself this instant.”
|| /̵͇̿̿/’̿’̿ ̿—;;“Easy there, Tex, keep your damn pants on.”
The remark was phrased more akin to a demand, smoke-addled lungs aiding her voice in its forceful, gruff attempt. A crudely-wrapped cigarette was tossed to the side, briefly illuminating the gun-for-hire’s slender frame with the scattering of its embers; like most “rays of sunshine” in her brief life, they were quickly crushed out beneath a well-worn boot.
Tex; would that reference even be understood in this goddamn country?
Unlikely.
The petite figure was appraised with an unreadable countenance as Revy stepped further away from the shadows, arms upraised in mock surrender – bringing her weaponry to easier inspection as they swayed briefly against her sides.
I have no idea how super duper late I am to this thing but I only have twenty-something days of school left and I’ll be more active sO MIGHT AS WELL–
NAME: Amanda ;; I think a few people here call me Red? You can call me by whichever I don’t mind. MUSE: Revy~ BIRTHDAY: December 9th **just turned eighteen wHOA HOOOAA–**
FAVORITE ANIME: Oh my god that’s really hard– shit– um– blazblue: alter memory for its totally stunning graphics obvs. Butyeahno, I’m pretty sure it would be Samurai Champloo. That anime man I can’t even dON’T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON CHAMPLOO —
FAVORITE TV SHOW: Cutthroat Kitchen. Don’t judge me that shit’s diabolical as hell. … And Bob’s Burgers. … And American Dad.
FAVORITE MOVIE: wHY ARE YOU GIVING ME SUCH HARD QUESTIONS I’M SO INDECISIVE FACTOID NUMBER ONE ABOUT ME. Uh – Casablanca probably tbqh. … And Stepbrothers. I’m a very versatile person–
FAVORITE VIDEO GAME: Silent Hill series and Kingdom Hearts hands down. Final Fantasy’s close behind but Fatal Frame is riiiight before it.
FAVORITE CHARACTER: hEATHER MASON DON’T GET ME STAR T ED ON HEATHER M A SO N . //rIPS SHIRT OFF
CURRENT MUSES: Revy, Heather, and umum – Oh, Kokonoe and Bullet – both of the latter from BlazBlue. They’re my most persistently strong Muses, anyway.
PREVIOUS MUSES: Oh my god I have over twenty blogs don’t do this to me–
MUSES YOU WANT TO WRITE: I have a really huge urge for MGS V’S upcoming heroine, Quiet, and Fem!Ragna – Quiet being the more persistent of the two. Oh, and Balalaika from Black Lagoon because. I mean. Epitome of boss-ass bitch ok.
RANDOM FACT ABOUT YOU: um i’m left-handed??? is that even interesting??? it’S ANNOYING I’LL TELL YOU THAT – Oh and I’m considered the Jack Sparrow of Assassin’s Creed because I always accidentally do stupid things that work out perfectly for me in the end. Totally impressive.
WHAT MADE YOU JOIN ER: //iNHALES DEEPLY. Well you see friends I knew Adry back when I frequently roleplayed Lightning and I had a heart attack because thiS WONDERFUL LIGHTNING WANTED TO TALK TO ME??? WHAT??? And thus I discovered ER through one of its mods and just ha d to join and I am very glad I did.
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THE MUSE(S) YOU CURRENTLY HAVE AFFILIATED: I chose Revy because, to be really honest, she’s a bamf and I wanted to ensure I kept her active. This’ll probably actually work once I’m out of high school because friends getting up at five am every weekday is very draining. I chose Heather because she’s the more down-to-earth of the two and, despite what she’s been through, is the most emotionally and mentally resilient. I felt it was a good balance for me personally.
WHAT MUSES DO YOU HAVE AFFILIATED: Revy and Heather .
FAVORITE HEADCANON YOU HAVE FOR YOUR MUSE: Well I have this headcanon that despite her detachment with others, Revy frequently engages in one-night-stands. Why? So she can be the one to leave. Nine times out of ten she’s also got the higher alcohol tolerance as well, as she’s been drinking heavily since a very young age. Thus, both factors ensure she’s in control of a male – or female – in even the most intimate of ways. Even though it’s no longer all that intimate for her, just a means to a psychological and physical end.
EVENT OF MUSES CANON STORY THAT IS YOUR FAVORITE: Deff the part of the early episodes when her and Rock reach a boiling point, and he tells her she resembles the businessmen he hated with such a passion; demanding he apologize for things he didn’t do, and using him as a tool to gain more profit. She screams at him not to act as if he knows a shred of what she’s been through, and he very calmly retorts that he doesn’t know – but she knows little about him as well. He also exposes a side of her that she herself was purposefully hiding, even from herself; the side of her that realizes what she’s doing is wrong and self-destructive, and that she’s stuck in a cycle of masochistic self-pity.
It reaches its peak when she fires at him, and he moves the gun slightly at the last minute; and as she pulls the trigger, her shrill, gruff scream pierces the air:
“IT’S ALL I KNOW HOW TO DO!”
And for a moment it just sort of dawns on you, on him, and on her that she’s sunk into this pattern out of familiarity. Something about that just really strikes me as a powerful moment, that someone’s life could have been so bad that violence and murder has consistently been what they considered their “only way out”.
Thank you all for those who’ve been here by my side, and this thank you extends to both old and new followers. You’ve all made my experience as a Roxas role player all the more memorable and I am genuinely glad to be here with every single one of you and see you all grow as writers. I cherish each and every single one of you, and I’m looking forward to seeing this journey through as long as possible.
I have never felt so comfortable during my experience as a role player before until I joined this group, and it’s ultimately the best decision I’ve made on this blog. All the members have been nothing but supportive and kind, and I just want to thank you for all of your endless kindness and support. (I may have not mentioned everyone on here, but I tried to list as many members as possible! Just know that I still treasure you even if your URL has slipped under the radar!)
