a cautionary tale .

i. my Regina is based on her appearances in S1 & S2 ( mostly ). S3 & any seasons there after will not be relevant to this interpretation for my own reasons which i will not divulge here, other seasons can be plotted on a case by case basis. She may be used as the personification of Regina’s Evil - separated from her during the most recent season. I will not accept Regina’s redemption arc for this version of her character.

• please refer to this & this & this

ii. this is a ROLEPLAY blog. i, the writer, am not affiliated with ABC, any of the OUAT cast or Lana Parrilla.

iii. this blog is ‘private’ or EXCLUSIVE by request only. i will also secure MAINS as well for my own sanity.

• conflictedrealities ( jefferson / the mad hatter )
• ofthecode ( chris argent )
• spacetol ( ben solo / kylo ren )
• rubiedheart ( evie mills )

iv. i am selective. therefore, i have the right to choose who i wish to see on my dash when logging in.

v. my name is GRIM. i am 20+ years old & i do have a full time job as a registered nurse currently so please do be patient with me about replies & the like.  i also have skype. don’t hesitate to approach me even if i sound like a complete ass in these obligatory pages. 

vi. base icons that are utilized are not mine. most are from hollow-art with some from rubyhelps, rabbithelps & herroyaldarkness sprinkled in. embellishments ( psds / textures / borders / resizing ) are added by me. 

vii. last but certainly not least, please READ ALL INFORMATION PRIOR TO INTERACTION.

abide by the royal order .

i. if you are unfamiliar with Regina, please educate yourself before approaching me to write by reading all offered material.

ii. please do not hesitate to approach for plots. i prefer it to random interactions. 

iii. although Regina is desirable to many for romantic plots ; shipping is not & will not be my sole reason for writing her. i wish to write her due to a desire to explore her characterization further beyond what is offered on-screen.

        —— in regards to what i ship, it would be easier to inquire as to what i actually ship as opposed to what i do not. my OTP is Regina x Happiness but i do enjoy putting my muses through strife.

                      ships can be located here !

iv. smut is not an expectation. if you are underage, nsfw material will not be written with you. it is usually placed under a ‘Read More’ once things turn graphic. i tend to feel more comfortable writing the explicit scene with those i know which means talk to me outofcharacter !  I DON’T BITE.

v. my main style is para/prose. i like to match my replies by line count so they look uniform on the dash and on my page. if you want to RP, my assbox is always open. please, please, please —— if your starter is a lengthy para without gifs, inform me before just tagging me in it. my paras/prose threads are expected to be longer than one paragraph for my own standards. this is not a guideline you have to adhere to. if i am putting in considerable effort, please do the same. it drives me bonkers when two paragraphs are written and there are barely three sentences replied back. feel free to remind me if you think i have missed your reply. nine times out of ten, i have forgotten about it. i am quite scatterbrained.

vi. any violence or gore (if it is graphic) will be tagged appropriately. this will occur with any post that contains possible triggers.

TRIGGERS ARE TAGGED —> nsfw (sexual content) and tw: (insert trigger here). i.e.; tw: blood.

vii. if you have a character (OC) that is related to Regina (brother, sister, daughter, etc); clear the RP with me first. 

viii. NO GODMODDING; the thread will be dropped.

ix. please use proper grammar & spelling, it grates at my nerves when it is not present. i understand English is not the default language for most but i like to see effort in using proper grammar/spelling.

x. long story short, i like a clean dash & have a right to be picky about following back. i am becoming more & more selective with follow backs. if there is constant self-pitying or ‘woe is me’ posts then you will be unfollowed. don’t cut your posts? unfollowed. start drama or send hate? unfollowed. i am a quick draw when it comes to the unfollow button. i enjoy my RPing experience without all of the other bullshit. i will not follow back or RP with personal blogs or self-based OC’s. if i am not following you back, do not take it personally.

xi. i will accept anons which will only further character development. i like the curses to be less than 24 hours. i will not accept pregnancy curses. i will deny curses that force Regina to pine for or love another character without any sort of foundation. i have the right to deny or alter any Magic Anon Curse that is received. be creative.

xii. i will not tolerate any hate. i will stick up for those who are receiving it but i find it to be pointless and cruel. any hate sent to me will be deleted & you will be blocked. i hate drama. If you cause it, i will unfollow you. i do not like it clogging up my dash. the passive-aggressive posts are annoying too. if you have an issue with someone, tell them. be mature.
