author’s note: I have an open inbox/pm policy, please feel free to message me ic or ooc at any time. I only ask you be aware that I may not reply immediately due to offline people things.

⚠️You might be looking for @rxng instead of my particular Rung! We are two separate writers, with two separate muses. Please keep in mind which Rung you’re looking for. :)

(If you aren’t a fandom related blog: this is the main blog on this account. My personal sideblog is @beebleworkshop!)

“I like having comfortable things and making others comfortable things to have because I have had vanishingly few chances for comfort, prior to… now, really. This place, with you, and everyone.”

Rung’s fingers clink against his teacup, absently tapping out a little rhythm.

“I went from a joyful if poor infancy, to cramped and dark dorm rooms, to a clinical, sterile laboratory. Then to rubble and chaos, which, don’t misunderstand, I was grateful for. It’s been, I think, part of relearning how to be a person.”

His smile is a little wobbly, but he’s trying. “For a long while, what little delights I had were— conditional. Transactional. Now I can simply bake a cake if I want one, or I can take a walk if I want to. It’s nice.”

“I shouldn’t get overcharged too often, no. It’s terrible for photonic crystal efficacy…”

Not that he’s been making more of those, lately. But still.

hands on my hips.

I genuinely do not care about shipping discourse or what people decide to write about between themselves or by themself. If it does not involve me, I have no say in the matter, and I would hope we’re all mature enough to understand the concept of curating our own online experiences.

What I do care about is manners & being respectful of others.

We are not a huge community but we are a very diverse and colorful bunch. There will be times when something happens that you personally don’t like or don’t want to be involved with, and that is fine. Do not engage with it. You are not obligated to engage. No one is. Go do something else for a while and come back in a bit. It’ll be okay.

Tag stuff and use readmores or have a separate blog for more privacy, or hell, take it to discord or something if you want it to be just between you and the friend(s) you’re writing with. That’s cool too.

Just be kind, guys. At the end of the day we’re here because we all like the plastic robots in a children’s show.

YOU CAN BE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO BE

SUCH IS YOUR RIGHT.

“Anything is a very broad category,” Rung comments, pausing for a moment in his work of tending his garden, pruning shears held carefully in long fingers. “I simply want to be myself, whoever that is. I’m doing my best to find out.”

The Key offers a shard of trimmed rose quartz spire to the behemoth.

“You, in the other lane, you seem to know everything about us.”

“Oh, when I was younger. Much younger,” Rung laughs, though it’s a tad self-depreciating. “I watched all my batchmates— that is to say, the sparks I was scooped from the hotspot with— all grow and become and… leave the Temple.”

He rubs the busted microphone pad in his thumb against his bottom lip.

“It took me a long time to understand myself. Pressure makes diamonds, but it can also just make a bloody mess of everything… I wanted to be useful. I was so… I had no idea. And even now, the scope of what I understand is just the shallowest end of it all. I didn’t care what it was, I just wanted to be something.”

“Actually, now that I’ve had the time to think about it, I would like to be a pipecleaner shrimp.”

"So long as your feelings are genuine and your gesture comes from a good place, I think it's sweet to express those feelings to your loved ones."

"In other words: cringe culture is dead. Kiss your homies."

fun fact when we first started out on here I did my absolute best to have rung hide the fact that he wasn’t the ‘original’ rung the lost light started with

It’s SO funny to just blatantly smack that part down on the promo post now

“Who in their right mind makes unleaded fuel, at this time in the orbital cycle, puts it with all the other unleaded fuel at the depo, and then labels it ‘not for ritual use’? I didn’t think there was any use beyond ritual use for it!”
