* guidelines.


.  001.  .  GENERAL     standard rp ettiquette applies. please do not take control of my muses' actions. my muses' views do not reflect my own. please don’t assume that information you know about my muses ooc is public knowledge ic. as well as this, i am spoken for irl, so please don’t be weird. please do not reblog ooc posts, aesthetics or headcanons unless i give permission. i will not interact with muns under the age of 18. racism, homophobia etc will not be tolerated..  002.  .  SELECTIVITY     this is a private and selective blog, meaning that i may be a little picky with who i interact with, and will only roleplay with mutuals. the general rule of thumb is that i will follow those that i can see my muses interacting with. please don't take it personally if i don't follow back - i am trying to limit myself to a manageable number of rp partners so that i don't overwhelm myself, as i run multiple other blogs as well..  003.  .  MEMES     inbox memes are open to everyone, but i will only turn them into threads with mutuals. please reblog memes from the source, or consider sending something in if you are going to reblog it from me!.  004.  . NSFW CONTENT     i am not comfortable writing smut, so it will not be present on this blog - but violence and other adult themes might be. purely nsfw rp blogs that follow me will be blocked on sight. in addition, if the majority of posts that i see upon looking at your blog are nsfw in nature, i won’t block you but i likely won’t follow you - especially if you don’t tag it..  005.  . FORMATTING     i tend to format my posts with small text and icons, with bold text for speech. i tend to try and match who i’m writing with when it comes to length, and am happy to go iconless as well. please don’t feel any pressure to format your own posts if you don’t usually do so. i would however appreciate if you could trim your post to keep it from getting too long..  006.  . ORIGINAL CHARACTERS     i am open to interacting with original characters, though i may be a little picky with those that i write with due to past experiences bringing me discomfort. shipping with ocs will be very selective, likely reserved for friends, and only after sufficient development. likewise, i will only ship my own ocs with those who take a genuine interest and who they have developed chemistry with.

.  007.  .  WRITING SPEED     i tend to be a rather slow writer unless inspiration and muse are high. i run multiple other blogs, and so my time will be split between them and this one. please allow at least a few days for me to reply to our thread. if i have not responded by then, feel free to remind me. replies may be put into queue if i have a lot to reply to..  008.  .  MAINS & EXCLUSIVES     i don't do exclusives, but i do tend to choose mains based on prior interactions and chemistry that i will most likely prioritise replies to. i am still open to interacting with other portrayals of the same muses. mains don't have to be mutual!.  009.  .  SHIPPING     i adore shipping, but any ships i write will be based on chemistry between our muses and prior interactions. if i don’t feel chemistry between our muses, i won’t feel comfortable pursuing a ship between them. in the same vein, please don’t try to push a ship onto me, especially if you are an original character that i have barely interacted with yet. i am open to exploring ships between characters who may have never met canonically, but they will again require chemistry and prior interactions. i tend to only write m/f ships - i have nothing against same sex ships, and i fully support lgbtqia+! it’s just a personal preference of mine being heteroromantic. platonic and familial relationships are more than welcome, as well as antagonistic! all ships will be in their own universe..  010.  . TRIGGERS     given the nature of some of my muses and the world of overwatch, there may be dark content explored on this blog - but i will be sure to tag with ___ tw. i personally have no triggers that need to be tagged, but if you need me to tag any triggers you may have that i may not automatically tag, please let me know! i also apologise if i forget to tag something - i try to remember everyone’s triggers, but if i mess up, feel free to remind me!.  011.  . CREDITS     all canon characters, as well as overwatch itself, rightfully belong to blizzard entertainment. most icons were made from scratch and edited by myself using official material. credit for freyja's base icons goes to animanga-icon-dump. carrd template credit goes to poohsources.

amélie was once an accomplished ballet dancer in paris. targeted by talon after several unsuccessful attempts to eliminate her husband gérard - an overwatch agent - amélie was kidnapped and subjected to an intense program of neural reconditioning. with her will broken and personality suppressed, talon reprogrammed her as a sleeper agent; and two weeks later, she killed gérard in his sleep. after returning to talon, her physiology was altered - drastically slowing her heart, which turned her skin cold and blue - and numbed her ability to experience human emotion, creating "widowmaker". she is now the perfect assassin: a patient, ruthlessly efficient killer who shows neither emotion nor remorse, her only joy found in the moment of the kill.— A SINGLE DEATH CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING.
