This page was last updated March 2024.

I am in my early 30s, he/him. I have a full-time job, a husband, non-writing hobbies, and a social life outside of Tumblr. Please keep this in mind regarding response times.

I have roleplayed for about seventeen years, and about fifteen as Gaara.

I've been told I have "online resting bitch face", but I promise I am not as contemptuous as I seem.

My default Gaara is post-war, and divergent from chapter 700 canon. Gaara Hiden/post-war canon is not incorporated into my writing unless discussed first or when interacting with Next Gen/Boruto characters. See 'Verses' for more information.

I love AUs and often prefer them over canon. Please let me drop Gaara into your world!

I will interact with mostly anyone, but only plot long-term with mutuals.

If I don't initially follow you back you're welcome to build a rapport with my muse - I may just not be familiar with your muse/fandom, or unsure how our muses could meet. If you're a multi-muse with a significant amount of muses I may be overwhelmed and not sure where to start. If you aren't sure how to break the ice, the best way to start is with an ask meme.

OCs are great, provided they have a fully-fleshed and realistic background/info page.

This blog can contain dark themes including addiction, violence, death, and dysfunctional relationships. I do not believe that portraying a subject in fiction equates to condoning it in real life - otherwise let us put on trial every movie or novel depicting war, abuse, or murder. I would expect that my roleplay partners share the same level of maturity towards creative expression.

This goes without saying, but please don’t take my icons or repost my headcanons. Otherwise, any blog, including personals, is welcome to follow, like, comment, reblog, or otherwise enjoy my content.

This blog has been around a long time. I am too old for drama, "callouts", and the like. Please do not involve me.

Feel free to contact me about anything. My ask box and IMs are always open.
