@askthefwrp asked me to doodle Audrey from Little Shop Of Horrors!
I didn’t feel like putting the plant veins since it was just a doodle, but it still gave me a run for my money. Hopefully I still managed to make every leaf looks at least somewhat separate?
If the email address on your Tumblr account is from AT&T, change it before June 30, 2017. That includes email addresses from att.net, ameritech.net, bellsouth.net, flash.net, nvbell.net, pacbell.net, prodigy.net, sbcglobal.net, snet.net, swbell.net and wans.net. If you don’t make the switch to a different email address, you will lose access to your Tumblr account.
Remember how net neutrality is all but dead? This kind of pettiness – in this instance from Verizon at AT&T – is going to be the new normal now.
[in the notes, people are filling in context that Verizon recently bought Yahoo, which owns Tumblr, and now this is aimed at rival telecoms company AT&T]

Muns
are the writers, who write back and forth each describing the actions
and words of their of the character they have chosen. I’m going to use
an imaginary person named Sue as the example of a mun.
Muses
are the characters being written about by the muns. Sometimes people
prefer to use character to refer to a muse, but muse seems to be the one
I see the most often. In this case I’m going to use Spider-man as the
muse example.
Threads are the stories written back and
forth by two or more muns about their muses. Let’s say Sue has met Paul
who has Batman as a muse. They write a thread together, which involves a
scenario in which Batman gets bitten by a genetically augmented bat and
Spiderman teaches him to use his new abilities.
Canon
is the official storyline of a show/film/book series that people pick a character
from. So in canon Batman never gets bitten by a bat, and isn’t trained
by Spiderman.
AU is short for Alternate Universe. In our
example Sue and Paul have created an AU where Batman has actual
bat-related powers and fights crime alongside Spiderman.
Verse (or universe) “AUs or places in a
timeline where threads which might take place that are common enough on the
blog to be established things” thanks to @chieftess-of-the-haladin for commenting this on the original post, I had completely forgotten about this one, and it’s definitely important
Starters
are the first post of a thread, which set the scene for the thread.
This blog contains sentence starters, which are things muns can send to
one another via ask to start a thread with. In this case perhaps Paul
sent Sue an ask with “It bit me” which started the entire alternate
universe they have that thread in.
OC is short for original
character, and these are another type of muse people have. In this case
we’re going to use the example of another person named Jude. Jude has
created an OC for the Batman universe named Kevin who is a guard at
Arkham who often ends up in trouble for some reason or another.
Three person Rp (sometimes called Three-person thread) this
is the last one, because now we’re getting into the more complicated
things. If Jude, Paul, and Sue got together and all wrote a thread it
would be one of these, and it can allow for interesting character
development.
