#ROSESPUN ❧ strictly mutuals only but my inbox is open to anyone. low activity. multiverse. multifandom . crossover & oc friendly, of course.
as final fantasy xiv is an ongoing online game, and there are many people who are just starting out, i will try my best to tag ALL possible msq spoilers.

TRIGGERS WILL BE TAGGED AS [TRIGGER] TW.

INTRO . since umiko is of my own creation she is constantly growing and expanding, as i develop her backstory in more detail, and her future going forward. so please understand that some things concerning her canon can be subject to change. also keep in mind she has verses where she isn’t the warrior of light, and can act as her own npc ! umiko isn't solely tied to ffxiv as a setting, i have and are currently writing up the barebones of an original canon for her, so stay tuned. i draw a lot of inspiration from gothic horror literature/cinema tropes as well, specifically women in horror.

WRITER . before i forget to introduce myself, i’m gabby! currently 21+ and i go by she / her pronouns.

DON’T BE AN AWFUL PERSON . homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, any form of anti lgbtq bigotry and racism will absolutely NOT be tolerated in any shape or form. if you also condone or romanticise noncon, abuse, pedopihlia or incest in fiction it will result in a hardblock from me.

ACTIVITY . real life can be very, very hectic for me, as i’m currently working, and i am a firm believer of taking a break from this website now and then. so do not pester me for replies to threads or messages, i will get to them in time.

FORMAT . anything goes. i do use icons and formatting to an extent, but i am more than willing to go iconless for threads. what fuels me most as a writer is interesting narratives, dynamics and scenarios. i do ask for you to tag and trim your posts though.

FOLLOWING / UNFOLLOWING . my following policy is focused around whether or not i see our characters having a future interaction and whether or not they mesh well together. please do not expect me to follow back everyone or follow for follow. i will only unfollow if there is a large amount of out of character posts, untagged negativity posts and long spouts inactivity.

SHIPPING . if it just so happens that our characters click, then by all means don’t hesitate to come into my dms and we can talk about expanding on their relationship. chemistry is key ! i won’t ship with characters who are under 25.

CONTENT WARNINGS . please expect themes of death, body horror, exploring the meanings of ghosts, disassociation, dealing with trauma and grief, violence and surrealism.

GUSHIKUMA 🌺 UMIKO

the woman who bears witness to death. rosemallow. corpse dancer.

the night is lost, and you too, are lost. you look up and you see nothing save sharp twists of black lightning pierce through the clouds, feel nothing but granite sand gaze across your cheeks, and know the surface below your feet is but a fixed point in time. there will be others. there will always be others. but that never concerned you, did it ? you know where you must go, you know who you must find.

eventually you will find her, you do find her, you did. at first glance she appeared almost unassuming, lithe in form, balletic even, with black hair flowing across her shoulders like a veil. at first she does not look at you, if she did she would merely look through you. as if you were there … or no longer there ?

you do not need to speak for she turns to you, her movements appearing as a blur muddying the warp and weft of reality, her hands pointed and curled. she looks at you. her eyes so piercing and real, gleaming in the darkness where all other lights have been but abandoned. she looks sad, there is a wash of loam and the sea spray, a trace of sunkeness in her face. it pools about her feet and dampens the edges of her long skirts.

she looks at you. through you. around you. makes peace with the whirl of emotions you try to grasp hold of and whispers:
"let go"

... APPEARANCE. ...

inky stygian - black hair, waist-length and rarely seen tied back. her eyes are pale gold, they are almost the same colour as her scales. her irises are the irises of a lizard’s. most of her body is covered in white, shimmering scales. russet brown skin tone with cool undertones. sharply- tipped elongated nails, they are more akin to claws.
