Hello and welcome to .SOLSNKTA!. My name is Haley! ( 30, she/they, EST )

This is an independent, private, and highly selective rp blog for ALINA STARKOVA of the Grishaverse novels by Leigh Bardugo, and the Netflix series Shadow and Bone. Please note that I am NOT affiliated with Leigh Bardugo and her novels, the Netflix series, or Jessie Mei Li in any way!

.GENERAL RULES:.
DO: Respect. Kindness. Consideration. Manners.
DON'T: Godmod. Send hate. Spread drama. Be a dick.
Please know that I am slow as HECK! I run a few other blogs PLUS I work full time, so I will get to replies and things when I have the time and energy.
Please leave your drama and your callouts at the door. It gives me hella anxiety and I want no part in it. I will not reblog callout posts, and anon hate will be blocked and reported.

Bigotry, racism, sexism, transphobia, queerphobia of ANY sort, xenophobia, right wing politics or anything to do with the 45th president of the United States are all very much unwelcome in this space.

GRAPHICS CREDITS: All graphics and icons are made BY me or FOR me, with appropriate credit here. Base icons of Alina were made by me, and the psd used is sugar pie by kingsleigh! PLEASE do not steal / take / use / reblog any graphics or icons from me without express permission.

All blog graphics were made by Briar @ villainsrph, and this carrd was made by @builtmyth!!

TAGGING & TRIGGERS: This blog will contain mature, adult, and NSFW content. I’m 29, it’s going to happen. Please continue at your own risk.

I do my best to tag the most basic/common themes, including blood/gore, violence, death, and abuse. I will not always be great at tagging: alcohol/drug use, pregnancy. But I will try! Please ask me if you would like me to tag something for you!!

I have no major triggers, but suicide/self harm, FGM (female genital mutilation), and images of spiders and insects make me VERY uncomfortable. If these topics are not tagged, that’s okay, but I tend to avoid such things.

.INTERACTIONS:. This blog is characterized as HIGHLY SELECTIVE and PRIVATE. This means that I will only interact with blogs with whom I am mutuals (you follow me and I follow you back).

I will only follow blogs that I actively want to rp with. If I follow you, that totally gives you free reign to come at me with plots / memes / starters! Please do! No personal blogs, though. If you’re a sideblog to a personal, please message me ASAP to let me know! (I have a nasty habit of blocking personals on sight.)
Non-mutuals who try to interact will be ignored or soft-blocked. Non-mutuals who reblog things from me will be hard blocked.

I tend to reblog from the source, rather than practice reblog karma. However, if our only interactions seem to be you reblogging memes from me, I will soft or hard block.

.SHIPPING:. Ship with me. Just do it. If I don’t feel comfortable with a ship, I will tell you, and I encourage you to do the same. Please don’t force a ship on me. (And I will not force a ship on you! That’s just not cool.) Communication is key here! I’m far more likely to ship with a mun I talk a lot with OOC, than I am with a mun I don’t really talk to. Chances are, I already ship the thing, but I’m far too shy to approach you about it.
