*Sera’s Final Fantasy (and a dash of ygo) based verses reside here, on Sakurarisen, which is currently my main blog. Please be aware that there, as well as here, heavy TW’s apply for her backstory <3 The rest of Sera’s verses remain here on Fireball! <3
“Burn like the stars”, I remember him telling me. “Burn like the stars, my girl, and put them all to shame with your brilliance.”
I AM HERE TO ANNOUNCE THIS BLOG WILL NO LONGER BE UPDATED! As of now, the new blog is open and can be found at @pomshine! <3
Please keep in mind: Things have undergone major changes in this move, in just about every way possible! This means new rules, new limits and lines I’ve put into place, new muse abouts and bios, updated muses with all new detailed backstories, new FCs, even new muses with more incoming! Some things are still touch and go and much of the new blog is still a MAJOR WIP, so updates will be coming fairly regularly as things change and get cleaned up! Things will be slow af, however, and I will no longer follow for follow to try and keep a slower dash!
I DO ask the rules be read before interaction, however, since I will not be hiding anything regarding Sera’s backstory on the new blog, nor triggers in any form. I will be tagging them, of course, and putting things under readmore as they apply and I feel the cut is deserved, but I will no longer be hiding it. If any tags are needed for comfort’s sake, please let me know and I’ll be more than happy to use them!

Okay! With things going rather well and being on track for an end of the weekend possible launch, I’m gonna drop a progress update:
-Some muses will not be returning for the new blog. Of these, Casey will be (eventually) moving to another blog as a very low-key muse for another project in the near future, and Cyan will be returning eventually, but at the moment is a WIP that will not be ready when the new blog goes up.
-I will have several new muses available in place of them, but only two of the four newbies will be available for interactions on launch - The other two still require a great deal of work on their abouts, and like Cyan, will be saved as a WIP. All three will be added to the muse list when their abouts and icons are completed. Info about them will already be in the rules where needed, as they were already planned on being added from day 1.
-Everything has had a rehaul, from rules to theme to tags and even muses. All the muses will have a proper about page and have had major rewrites, reflecting how much they’ve grown and the like. There’s even new FCs in place, finally!
-I will be keeping the new blog under Slow Activity and selective. I simply don’t have the energy or the mental health for multiple ‘main’ main blogs and while I’ll be on the new blog fairly regularly, I may be slow to reply, which is true across all my blogs. To this extent, I’ll limit the number of the threads I have at any given time so I don’t overwhelm myself, which means a lot less starter calls and more memes instead! <3
-I’ve been trying to reach out to everyone I can about keeping up relationships, ships, and the like and if they’d be something y’all wan to continue - If anything’s changed or I haven’t reached out to you yet, hit me up!
-Speaking of that, shipping rules have changed - I’ll be highly unlikely to take on new ships with the new blog, and in the case of Sera, straight up won’t be. There’s been a lot I’ve realized in the last two years, and I’d love to build more friendships for my muses than I would romances - So the ships that get carried over will be the only ships unless there’s a LOT of time and work put into a new one.
Here’s to hopefully the next update being with a ‘we’re open’ and url! <3
It’s been 7 months since I announced the reboot, and in all that time, I… Bit off more than I could chew. Pretty normal for me. XD HOWEVER! I’m looking to get things up and running on the new blog by the end of the weekend at the latest, with some major changes I’ll detail out later once I have things settled a little more. Safe to say not all my muses will be returning, and some will be at a later date - Just to lessen the load on my plate, as trying to write up actual abouts for as many muses as I’ve been trying to add there is kicking me in the butt more than I thought it would.
New year, new me - And this new Pom’s come to a decision. <3
I am as of right now archiving this blog. I’ve ultimately decided to remake, though it’s gonna take me a few weeks to get a new blog up and running, especially since I’m not sure if I’ll keep the same url or not just yet and I have other blogwork elsewhere I need to finish up, too. But, since things on this blog are getting frustrating to deal with, it’s best to just archive it ahead of time, I think, rather than try and fight it further.
This was a long time coming, I think. I made this blog almost a decade ago, and a lot has changed since then, both in me and my muses. The site itself also is a contributing factor; no matter how hard I try to organize things and tidy them up, tumblr consistently forgets my new tags, but not old ones I care not to remember - even if I used it all of once 5+ years ago. Above even that, there are some bad memories tied to this blog’s past for me, and trying to tidy things up is consistently bringing me face to face with things I don’t want to think about again.
This blog has allowed me to meet some incredible people though, and I love you all for sticking through things with me! <3 The plots, the muses, the muns - You’re all amazing and I love every single one of you! <333 As much as there’s bad on this blog I want to put out of my life, there’s just as much wonderful I do want to remember!
With that in mind, PLEASE let me know, either through a message or a comment on this post, or a like, if you want to keep something going and carry things over to the new blog! I’d love to keep things going, but I’m leaving that up to y’all, too! <3
I’ll be leaving updates on the progress of things, but aside from that? See y’all on the new blog! <3
Debating rebooting this blog in its entirety for the new year… Finding tags and such since reworking everything has become incredibly difficult with nearly ten years’ worth of content on here, and nothing wants to stick that’s current, while older things I don’t care to remember do. Of course that’s also just on tumblr and sucking at remembering current tags when you have older ones, but I digress.
If I do remake to a whole new blog, would anyone be cool with a refollow? I’m giving it some serious thought and won’t be doing anything until next week at the earliest due to health issues either way, but I’m being honest when I say I do miss things here, it’s just been difficult to deal with a lot of offline and non-blog related things, as well as the hassle of trying to keep so many years of content organized when I failed to do it previously. IF I do reboot, I’ll be keeping all current relationships and most of the current verses, but possibly pruning my muse list a bit to only the most active muses.
This is a blog I love and partners I love even more - I’m not willing to just close it now. <3

This is a blog I love and partners I love even more - I’m not willing to just close it now. <3
▮ This is a semi-selective, independant rp blog featuring multiple OCs, with both fandom-central and fandomless verses! I'm OC/AU friendly, but semi-selective, so I may be somewhat picky with my interactions, just for the sake of comfort.
▮I am quite slow. This blog is by far not my only nor where I spend 100% of my time, and activity here is both infrequent and incredibly slow. I will be trying to stay on top of things here, but as the infamous Baymax has said: I am not fast. Please see my pinned post for other places you can find me! <3
▮ As mentioned, my muses are both fandomless and fandom-based. The verses listed on each muse's page are their primary fandoms and 'canons' within those fandoms, though are by far not my only verses and each muse is able to fit into different settings with enough planning - So please don't let that put you off from an interaction!
▮Sera's backstory contains quite a few highly triggering elements, including multiple kinds of assault, abuse, and poverty; Please see the triggers and NSFW sections for more info. I am more than willing to 'gloss over' and omit details pertaining to what's happened to her for the comfort of everyone involved, but should they come up at all in threads, I will be tagging them with a simple 'TW: (trigger heres)' and/or placing them under a cut.
▮ Each of my muse's main fandom verses ihnvolves a canon and canon timeline, and is tied to particular partners and ships that will be linked in each entry. Every interaction within these main verses will take place within that singular timeline (I.E. all Noragami interactions will take place within Sera's Noragami verse, which has an established canon and plot running with Forfiveyen's Yato), and I will not remove these canons from my muses, especially since my muse's backstories generally do not change between verses. Please do not ask me to.
▮ Along with the above, I do not expect doubles of muses I'm already interacting with to conform to these plotlines! That is to say, I do not expect other Yatos to fill my main Yato's shoes, for example, and will not push that onto you, but may instead regard any other Yatos as a 'twin' or a 'lookalike' and befriend them regardless. I am completely open to plotting, both within and outside of these canons, to figure out something that'll work for a thread, be it regarding doubles as twins or lookalikes and running from there, or even something as far as smashing dimensions together. Where there's a will, there's a way for thread plotting!
▮ While I may not be willing to change my canons, feel free to ask me about them if you have any questuions! They've had a lot of development over the years and I'm more than happy to explain things!
▮This blog is not spoiler free. The majority of the fandoms I/my muses are involved in are for already completed series, so I won't be tagging spoilers unless it's something incredibly recent - As in it was just released within the last three or so months, at which point I'll use the universal tag of 'SPOILER WARNING'. If you're trying to avoid spoilers, please be wary. <3
▮ Basic rules also apply: No godmodding. No killing my muse without prior planning. Do not force things on me, or send me hate of any kind, anon or not. These are blockable offenses for me.
▮ Furthermore, I don't follow strict reblog karma! However, I do ask that you don't treat me like a meme or image source and soley reblog one (or both) from me with no other attempts to interact - Please send me a meme or two occasionally if you're reblogging several. Treating me as a meme/image source with no attempts to interact aside from this may result in a block.
▮ I'm not particularly fond of writing out duels in Yu-Gi-Oh! settings due to how long a single turn can be. Heavy planning in advance is required if writing one out is unavoidable, but I'd much rather talk about the details and winner/loser with a time skip, or playing the duel itself out on a website that'd allow it.
▮ I'm aware my writing can get long and I don't expect anyone to match my length, but I do ask that you don't reply to a multi-para with two or three short lines.
▮ When sending a meme geared towards muses, please either name a muse or make some kind of 'your choice' type comment if you have no preference in the ask. Due to the wide range of muses on this blog, I will not answer muse-geared meme asks without one of these included, for my own sense of sanity.
▮I am autistic. If you have a problem with me, or something I've said or done, please come talk to me off-anon. It's more than likely unintentional. <3
Muses / Exclusives.
▮ This is a multimuse blog, and as such the muses run on the following tier system:
PRIMARY: Muses listed as primary will see the most interaction and attention, and have the most time put into them. These are the muses I will generally reply to things with the most when not prompted for a specific muse.
SECONDARY: Muses listed here recieve a little less focus and attention, and are on kind of a middle ground, so to speak. Lack of confidence in my portrayal is one of many reasons a muse could be put here, and these are the muses who may be a bit slower to see interaction unless outright requested.
TERTIARY: These are the muses who see the least interaction and attention, for whatever reason, and generally are the last to come to mind for replying to things with when prompted without specifying. I'm far less likely to throw these muses into things unless requested, and actually require request most of the time to interact with.
TESTING: Muses I happen to be testing out portrayals of go here. These muses may come and go without warning of any kind and it's a tossup if they'll be offered or not outside of requests. They're not guarenteed to stay by any means, though may move into one of the other three tiers if they stick around.
▮ Sera has a second blog of her own focusing on her Final Fantasy 7 and YGO verses, found at Sakurarisen! If you're interested in doing anything regarding the FF or YGO fandoms, please click on over there! <3
▮ I frequently practice having main rp partners. These are people I'll turn to first and foremost when speaking of/referencing a particular muse, and are formed through long time, frequent interaction both IC and OOC. Becoming a main with me is just as easy as interacting with me, honestly!
▮ On the flip side, I have no problem with doubles and I'm more than happy to interact with you!
▮ At the moment, I have exclusives in Soulburnings and Duelrisen. This means that as much as I thank others for their interest in my muses, I am uninterested in interacting with any other portrayals of Takeru Homura/Soulburner and his ignis Flame, Yusaku Fujiki, or Yuma Tsukumo aside from hers. Kasa is the only exception to the doubles rule in any form.
▮ The muses mentioned within my verse entries and on my relationships sections are major parts of those canons, both as my girls' friends, ship partners, and families. While my muses have their own lives to live and things they enjoy on their own, these other muses' roles in my girls' lives is undeniable and they may come up in conversation sometimes just as they'd speak of their families and jobs. I will not remove these bonds from my muses as a whole, but if any of their talk makes you uncomfortable, please come talk to me and we can work something out, within reason.
▮ Occasionally, there may be times development might seem to jump ahead by leaps and bounds with certain partners. This is because development is happening with them off-dash, and being applied here. I will never do anything pertaining to your muse without checking it's okay first, nor force anything on you.
Shipping.
▮ This blog is very selectively multi-ship, and is not currently open for more ships at this time past what I have at the moment.
▮ I'm not against developing ships at some point in the future, but as shipping is by far not a priority here in the least, I'm currently not seeking any out. If one develops, it develops, but at the moment it's going to take a great deal of time and work to make a ship happen at this time.
▮ This, again, doesn't mean a ship can't happen at some point down the road, but unless one builds way down the line naturally, it'll stay a no.
▮ Ships listed are considered to be exclusive and I will not ship with a double of those muses.
▮I do have NOTPs I ask to please not be brought up around me, for personal reasons I won't go into. This includes Disaster (RyokenxTakeruxYuaku), Recoil (RyokenxTakeru), Perenial (KikuxAoi), EmmaxAoi, Fiance (JudaixAsuka), YatoxHiyori, YushoxYuzu, SinbadxSerendine, as well as any ship involving an adult and minor (i.e. KusanagixYusaku, SinbadxAibaba). I don't require them to be tagged - Just not brought up in conversation with me, please. Saying you ship them and enjoy it is totally fine! Conversation past that is not.
▮ Regardless, basic shipping rules always apply: No forceshipping, don't autoassume ships without prior planning, chemistry is a must, I reserve the right to drop forceshipping threads, etc..
Following.
▮ I am semi-selective, and may not follow everyone back, unfortunately. This is because I have heavy anxiety and struggle to deal with it, and a cluttered and busy dash is unfortunately one of it's triggers - But please don't take this as a sign of me not wanting to thread! I do! I just need to keep things neat, for sanity's sake~
▮ The first thing I do on interacting is read your rules and about pages. I do occasionally go back and re-read these as well to keep myself up to date on them, regardless of if we follow each other or not. If we're threading, I'll be reading them.
▮ Starter calls are a rarity from me, because of the aforementioned anxiety, but I do love memes! The easiest way to start things with me is to drop into my inbox whenever I have one posted, or just send me a message!
▮ I generally don't like to unfollow once I've hit that button, but the easiest way to get me to drop you as a whole is to post unneeded ooc drama, vagueposting, attacking others, and not tagging things of importance (I.E. spoilers, triggers, etc.).
▮ I reserve the right to drop things, block, or unfollow if I feel uncomfortable at any point.
NSFW.
▮ Despite my muses' varying ages between verses and usually being 18+, as well as I the mun being very much 21+, NSFW will be a rarity to the point of next to never. I'm completely fine with the topic as a whole and it may be referenced to whenever applies, and teasing is a thing, but the actual act will be kept private and off-dash as much as I can manage.
▮ I'm fine with most other touchier themes with a little plotting, from trauma to violence, but please throw me a message before including them, and I'll do the same for you. While I'll probably be okay with it being included, comfort is key and having super heavy themes suddenly appear out of nowhere, especially on certain topics, can be a bit unsettling.
▮ Most of Sera's life has been traumatic and while it's not something she actively is involved with after the age of 16, it's a driving force behind 99% of her life and choices. There will be mentions of this past (somewhat detailed in the following 'triggers' section) on this blog occasionally, and I will be taking steps to tag and place the heaviest of it under cuts. This past will not be harped on, nor brought up without reason - Sera has been traumatized; it does not control her, and she sees the past as the past, despite it being a driving force. Attempts to take advantage of or focus on Sera's traumas past this without ooc-given permission will result in a block.
▮PLEASE tag any images and heavy talk of things on fire or covered in smoke, specifically landscapes and buildings, as Not For Poms. I'm all right with superpowers and things like Takeru's flames in YGO Vrains and fireplaces, but due to PTSD I cannot at this time handle amything past that, ESPECIALLY realistically.
▮ Likewise, if you require anything to be tagged, please let me know!
▮ For further blog/muse specific triggers, please see the 'triggers' section.
Triggers.
▮ While it's not often brought up unless they're talking about their past specifically in threads, my muses have the following common and possibly triggering themes:
Sera: Assault (sexual and physical), rape, abuse, attempted murder (of her), kidnapping, extreme poverty, manipulation, suicidal thoughts (previously), severe illness, near starvation, being disowned, being struck by lightning (witnessing it happen, not her herself)
Casey: Loss of a parent
Seun: Loss her parents
Verse specific triggering themes will be noted at the start of their respective verse entries.
▮ Sera has led an incredibly traumatic life, especially for the first 16 years of it, and it should be known that while these are things that are lagely behind her, she still suffers from them. She currently does not have an official diagnoses but still very much suffers from nightmares and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), the later of which manifests in multiple ways, with the most common being nightmares, panic attacks, breakdowns over memories and triggers that make her remember, and panicking over anything tight around her wrists.
▮ Sera has been assaulted, abused, manipulated, disowned, deathly ill, and considered ending her own life, and these are things that drive her desire to change the world - Sera wishes nothing more than to see everyone as equals, and suffering eliminated from the world as a whole. She's aware she's suffered and still lives with the aftermath every day of her life, but Sera dislikes talking about it outside of particular moments, or with certain people. The memories hurt as much as the scars, and she sees no reason to rehash it constantly; it pushes her to change the world for the better and keep others from suffering like she did, but she will not constantly speak of it. She is very much the definition of 'I have suffered, therefore nobody else needs to'. Those she does speak of it to are few and far between and have her utmost trust, unless the moment really calls for her to share - Something that's incredibly rare.
▮ Sera does have regular breakdowns, though tries her best to keep them from being obvious, of which common signs are her being quieter and more withdrawn than usual, keeping her distance from others, slipping away to cry in private, lying about her mindframe to convince others she's fine, rubbing her wrists, overworking herself more than normal to avoid thinking of it, and isolating herself to handle it alone. She is also prone to panicking during a thunderstom and cannot at all handle them, and will seek out a loved one to try and be as physically close to them as possible out of a fear of the storm somehow 'claiming' them and 'taking them away' as a result of witnessing someone be struck by lightning; if she has nobody she can do that with or physically can't reach them, she'll spend the entire storm underneath something or tucked into a corner in tears with her hands over her ears, whimpering and pleading for it to end.
▮ Sera willingly places herself into extreme poverty and gives up everything for the sake of others, believing deep down she doesn't deserve belongings of her own, and routinely gives away everything aside from the bare nessecities needed to live. Without intervention from a loved one or a friend to make sure she eats, Sera will even give her meals away to someone who needs it more than her, and as a result is underweight and a bit malnourished. Like living in trees, this is by her choice and is a mentality towards herself later changed.
▮ Sera does not try to bring attention to what the first 16 years of her life contained or how she suffers, and unless otherwise plotted between myself and another mun, any attempts made to take advantage of her trauma or to make it the center of everything will ultimately result in a block. Seraphina is not her trauma. She has a life and a dream she's working towards that she'd much rather focus on, instead, and even I don't wish to focus on her backstory more than has to be.
▮ Likewise, Casey has lost her mother in a bloody attack on her hometown that continues to haunt her, even though she won't speak of it without reason. It's resulted in regular nightmares and her being more than guarded around others, and an interest in making sure everyone around her is protected.
▮ Seun has also lost her parents due to a natural disaster, and like Casey, it's an event she tries not to talk of, or even think of. She's long since come to terms with their loss, though she still grieves for them and dislikes being alone, just on the off chance something should happen.
▮ Neither Sera, Seun, nor Casey have been to therapy, and have little interest in attending, unfortunately. The former does her best to put it behind her and move on, while the later is actively learning to fight in her mother's name, to prevent things from happening to her family again.
▮If these topics are triggering to you personally, PLEASE come talk to me. I won't completely remove these from my muses, but I am more than willing to omit, or 'gloss over', details during our threads for the sake of my partners' comfort. I am also more than willing to tag anything requested.
Artwork and Icons.
▮ 95% of the artwork and icons used here are not mine. I try to keep credit attached as much as possible, but if I reblog something that doesn't have credit and you know who it belongs to, lemme know and I'll add it in!
▮ I don't give out the raws of my icons, unfortunately, apologies! If you search around resource blogs, you're bound to find them anyway <3
Behind the muse!
▮ Howdy! I go by Lita and/or Pom, and I'm the mun here! I'm 21+ and usually near my computer, so I'm almost always about somewhere, despite my slow activity. My mun FC's Jaden/Judai Yuki, so if you're looking for my ooc posts, you'll find them marked with icons of him~!
I'm autistic and have made writing both my hobby and the thing I enjoy doing most often. Aside from that, I'm also a crafter and enjoy drawing,though writing is where my heart lies and has for most of my life. I've also been into YGO enough for the last 20 years to have amassed quite the card collection, and I have no intention of stopping as long as I can keep playing the game!
I've been rp'ing here on tumblr for quite a few years now, across a wide range of blogs and fandoms. I always tend to come back to certain ones, like YGO and Final Fantasy, but I generally tend to write OC's - They're my roots and have stories of their own to tell, too! <3
Honestly, I'm just a complete goober wanting to have fun, and I'm totally harmless, I promise~!
