“Words! Mere words!
How terrible they were! How clear, and vivid, and cruel! One could not escape from them. And yet what a subtle magic there was in them! They seemed to be able to give a plastic form to formless things, and to have a music of their own as sweet as that of viol or of lute. Mere words! Was there anything so real as words?”

ONE . You can call me Percy or Pip, my pronouns are he/they/xe/xim. Although I'm on eastern time, my sleep schedule is chaos, you'll find me online at varying and strange hours. I do try to keep the queue of this blog full but I'm not great with it so due to that, please expect sporadic activity. Do not interact if you're under 18.TWO . Please specify muse when sending memes. I won't pick for you and if you don't specify, I'm just going to delete the ask. Feel free to send all the memes you want even if we already have a thread and always feel free to reply to them. They are a great icebreaker if we've never interacted.THREE . I don't write smut. I'm okay with writing somewhat lewd material but pure smut bores me a couple of replies in so once we're at that point, I'll fade to black. I will not ship or write anything even vaguely nsfw if you're under 21.FOUR . Triggers will be tagged to the best of my ability. If anything gets through and you need me to start tagging it please let me know. I tag in the format '__ TW'. Please tw for dubcon or any variations of it.FIVE . I don't use icons. The only extra formatting step I take is using a divider and making the text small. You're welcome to do more or to do less but I do appreciate when replies aren't more than double spaced.SIX . I don't vibe with one liners so I won't ever do them. I prefer to write 2+ paragraphs per reply (usually more) and to receive at least the same in return. I don't expect length to be matched but I do ask that effort is. For those I've already written with I'm willing to do the occasional single para but that's rare and only for short interactions.
SEVEN . If I followed you it's because I want to interact. I don't want just a follower/following count, I want writing partners. I post starter/plotting/meme calls & ask prompts frequently and have an interest tracker, please take advantage of them! I'll do the same. I try to reach out to all of my mutuals at least once. That could be me liking a starter call, filling out a tracker, or DM'ing you. If my efforts are consistently met with silence I will unfollow.EIGHT . My discord is available to mutuals and I enjoy chatting with my rp partners, feel free to ask or shoot me a DM whenever you want. If we have threads together you can expect random messages from me, please don't feel pestered by them. I have adhd and can be really forgetful so if I send you multiple of the same meme or fill out your interest tracker twice, it's not to rush you, please take your time!CREDITS .

eccentric & agreeable
Notes on fanon . While Joly's hypochondria/concern for getting ill is a part of his character, I do not subscribe to his common representation of being riddled with anxiety over it. He certainly has some anxiety but he's also "the gayest of them all" and "eccentric and agreeable" so when interacting, expect those qualities to be at the forefront. His hypochondria isn't baseless, don't imply in our threads that he's just a ball of nerves/that he's senselessly paranoid unless your character is willfully misrepresenting him.
