GUIDELINES
If you are below the age of eighteen please do not interact. There are no exceptions to this rule and I will hardblock you if I find out you are a minor.
I consider myself semi selective. I look for partners who are willing to meet me halfway when plotting and writing. In other words - neither of us should feel like we're carrying our thread alone!
I also look for partners with a decent grasp on spelling and grammar. We all make mistakes sometimes - that's fine! But if your writing is genuinely lazy across the board, then I'm probably not going to be interested in writing with you. I'm not asking for prose or anything particularly pretentious, just comprehensible writing!
I love writing with original characters. Please have an 'about' page or provide some information about your muse so I can get to know them better.
I'm extremely crossover friendly! I've been writing for over a decade in the Sherlock, Marvel and Legend fandoms. I'm pretty familiar with overlapping fandoms, and I'm willing to learn about those I've not yet encountered!
Plotting is open to both mutuals and non mutuals. I genuinely love plotting, so if you can see our muses interacting, please feel free to send me a message and we can develop a plot together.
I am so willing to adjust my timeline to accommodate the plot. Whilst Bell is canonically based in the 1980s, I am not strictly bound by this timeline. If you have something in mind that doesn't fit in with my current verses, I'm always willing to create another.
My main timeline occurs between 1981 and 1999 - it follows the events leading up to and after the end of The Cold War. Bell is a former KGB Agent with links to The Perseus Network - a radical organisation dedicated to securing a Cold War victory for The USSR through any means necessary.
My Contemporary Timeline occurs from 2009 up to the present day. Bell is a former FSB agent with links to The Perseus Network - a radical organisation dedicated to restoring The USSR through any means necessary. This verse is essentially the same as my main verse with a few minor adjustments based on historical accuracy.
Open starters and ask box memes are open to both mutuals and non mutuals unless otherwise stated. Starter calls will be tagged to indicate open or closed status.
I don't strictly observe meme karma - feel free to reblog a meme from me without sending one in return. With that said, I do appreciate memes from time to time, so try to keep a balance!
Please try not to God Mod. Feel free to make basic assumptions to advance the plot - if you ask my muse to pass you an item, or follow your muse to another location, you can assume that he will. Just avoid dictating his thoughts, speech, and complex actions.
On that note - you should not be aware of Bell's status as an MK Ultra subject without a very good reason. Unless your muse happens to be a senior member of the intelligence community, they should not be aware of his personal history or trigger phrase unless he has disclosed the information himself.
When writing, I often use small text and icons. I don't expect you to match my style and I have no preference for how you format. I would ask that you trim your posts though!
Please create a separate post if you want to turn an ask meme into a thread. I won't reply if you just reblog the ask post - I find that format confusing and messy.
Please let me know if you struggle with reading smaller text - I'm more than happy to use larger text in threads for you. I can also provide an unformatted copy of my guidelines and bio if necessary.
I tag all graphic images and I am happy to tag any other image at your request. I typically do not tag my writing but if there is something specific you need tagged then I will do my best to accommodate that. With that said, this blog will frequently cover themes of violence, alcoholism, combat, political extremism and psychological manipulation. If you find these themes triggering then you may want to reconsider following me.
Generally, I prefer to write darker muses and Bell is no exception. However, I will never write assault of a sexual nature and I will never write with anyone who ships adult and minor muses. These are the only real hard limits I have.
Occasionally, I will write smut with the right partner - I usually just fade to black though. I am open to shipping with chemistry and I'm a huge fan of dysfunctional relationship dynamics; you won't get anything stable with Bell.
I will never hold a grudge if you want to drop a thread or if you want me to rewrite a reply. I totally understand - sometimes you just run out of muse, sometimes a reply doesn't inspire. I will never be upset with you for communicating that! We can always take a break or start something new.
On that same note, there is never any pressure to reply to an ask, direct message, like, or comment from me. I understand that life can get busy and roleplay can sometimes feel overwhelming rather than relaxing. Do what you have to do to ensure this is fun for you - never feel like you have to apologise for being busy.
Occasionally, I unfollow inactive blogs or blogs I have not interacted with after a long period of time. If I have unfollowed you and you still want to interact just let me know and I'll refollow!
Interaction is not reserved for mutuals only - but I would prefer it if you'd follow back if you want to write with me! If I don't get a sign you're interested then I'm likely to assume that you're not.
If you're not interested in interacting, feel free to softblock me - no hard feelings. With that said my memory sucks. If I refollow I'm honestly just forgetful - feel free to let me know or hardblock.
Finally, my name is Judah and my pronouns are he/him. I've been writing for over a decade across various platforms. I'm 21+ and based in Europe. I work as a freelance camera operator and video editor which can be fairly time consuming. When work is coming in, I may be low activity - feel free to nudge me if you think I've forgotten you.
My DMs are always open and I love out of character interaction. I'm a huge fan of making RPC friends and I'm here for that whether we've interacted before or not!
