i. This blog is selective and semi-private. I'll be picky about who I follow and I will only thread with mutuals. However, everyone is always welcome to send memes or pop into my askbox OOC.

ii. The name’s Gina. I'm a twenty-three year old cis-female (she/her/hers pronouns). I am a part-time college student living in the Eastern-Standard Time Zone. My sleep schedule is erratic, I have too many blogs, and I tend to be slow as molasses goin’ uphill in a snow storm when it comes to replies—so please be patient with me.

iii. No godmodding or metagaming. Having your character act upon mine (i.e. physically striking them or attempting to overpower them in some way) is one thing, but don’t presume to control or imply how my character is reacting to yours without asking first. If you’re not sure whether something is acceptable to write, ask. I’ll probably be cool with it.

iv. I ship chemistry. That means waiting to see how the dynamic develops in-character and getting to know the other mun a bit before deciding to ship with them. If I’m not feeling it, I can’t write it.

v. Partner exclusivity really isn't my thing, but I am likely to go exclusive when it comes to romantic ships (ex: while I'll write with duplicates of a character, I will only ship with one version of said character). I by no means expect this to be reciprocated unless my partner chooses to do so.

vi. In terms of my askbox policies: Turning memes into threads is grand, but consider the context before sending one in the first place. Memes can be awesome icebreakers, but some quite clearly do not work between characters who have yet to interact. I do prefer moving asks into text posts if we're going to carry a meme over into a thread. Additionally, I make a solid effort to reply to asks in a timely manner, but it doesn't always happen. Sometimes I get distracted, my attention is split between this and other blogs, or I just forget to answer. Reminders are appreciated, especially when it comes to plotting messages. I may or may not post/respond to a chain message depending on its nature, but if it's a nice sentiment intended to cheer people up, I'll usually pay it forward even if it goes unacknowledged by me.

vii. Regarding NSFW content: Smut is not something I roleplay very often, and in the event that I do, I will not write sexually explicit material with minors. Please respect my wishes and do not lie to me about your age. Violence is fine, particularly considering the source material. I do ask that if you think things are going to get really extreme OR you’re not comfortable continuing a thread because of impending violence, just shoot me a quick message to let me know. Rape is something I will not ever roleplay. Same goes for “dubcon” or any other sexual activities that are nonconsensual.

viii. Any smut or nudity will be tagged “nsfw.” In the event I post any potentially triggering content, I will do my best to tag them appropriately as follows: #trigger cw and/or #trigger tw. If there is ever a time that I post something triggering for you and fail to tag it, please let me know so I can fix it! You don’t have to explain them to me—just ask. I want you to be comfortable on your dashboards.

ix. All icons of Mädchen Amick used on this blog were made by me for my own use, as were the gameplay icons. Please do not save/use icons from my blog without my permission. I've also gone to great pains in customizing my theme and making all related graphics.

Work in progress!

Aisling is the first; a name for mamae to yell when the child wanders too far from camp in her bare feet, collecting leaves in her hair and on her knees. It doesn’t matter what Aisling means, so long as she is running both wild and free.

Elgar’len is next; a name for those among the Elvhen to whom the Creators have gifted the blessing of magic. It means spirit-child, and Grandmother has the gift as well—but she is also Keeper, so elgar’hren is the title she’s earned. Some day, the title will belong to Aisling too, but she has a great deal to learn and a lifetime of study ahead of her, now that she is the Keeper’s First.

Eluthenera is the name that almost takes her life; demons that should only haunt Asha’s dreams stalk her waking hours too. They find a way to drag her screaming across the Veil and assault her with horrors once she’s trapped in the Fade. Grandmother comes in time to save her, but she will never forget the choking fear or the way her mentor looked at her and whispered dreamer in a voice implying awe—or perhaps it is terror.

Inquisitor is the name she never wanted but much prefers to Herald of Andraste; it is the name that causes people to look to her for guidance in a world quite literally falling apart at the seams.
