~ About Me ~

I mainly post about Project Moon gamesโ€”they're my special interest, and I have lots to say about themโ€”but I don't consider myself a fandom blog.
I also talk about classic literature a lotโ€”mainly Wuthering Heights, Moby-Dick, and the Sherlock Holmes stories, but any classic novel may come up.
I'm a self-diagnosed autistic who's currently struggling with autistic burnout, which makes it difficult for me to interact and post consistently
I'm a self shipper! That said, I don't often associate with the self ship community. I'm also gray-romantic, and I incorporate that into my ships.
I'm in the process of rewriting Limbus to include my OCsโ€”I'm incredibly passionate about this project, and I'm always open to questions about it!

~ My Dear Fellows ~

As the title suggests, these are some of my closest friends. They've been at my side through thick and thin, and I can't imagine my life without them.

~ Before You Follow ~

First and foremost, all interaction comes from my main blog, @throughpatchesofviolet, and I always sign my asks with a ๐Ÿชป emoji.
I have a sideblog, @throughpatchesofreblogs, where I reblog others' self ship art/writing and (rarely) make posts about my other interests.
Due to the nature of my main interest, I don't tag blood, fire, gore, or smoking UNLESS it's realistic or someone specifically requests I tag them.
My blog IS NOT spoiler free! However, I do have media tags you can filter, and I will always provide warnings when discussing new updates.
As a rule, I don't respond to hateful anons, and will not hesitate to block them. This revokes the sender's anon privileges, and cannot be undone.
I'm a self-diagnosed autistic, and Project Moon's games are my special interest. They're a key part of my identity, and help me cope with anxiety.
I kin Malkuth, Hod, and Ishmael (Project Moon) as well as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. Excluding Sherlock, doubles are okay.
Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have an issue! I do my best to make this a safe space for everyone, and communication is a key part of that.
Note that this is my personal blog! That means I will talk about anything from Project Moon to my life experiences to the video games I play!
If you're under the age of 18, you're free to follow and interact, but know I won't follow you back. Also, please filter the "#suggestive" tag.
If we're mutuals, please tag any and all Limbus Company spoilers, and refrain from sending asks including spoilers. If you don't, then I'll block you.

~ Do Not Follow ~

Ace/aro exclusion, incest, LGBTQ+ phobia, misogyny, racism, pedophilia, proshipping, RPF, and Zionism will not be tolerated here; I'll block you.
If you ship in Attack on Titan, BBC Sherlock, Harry Potter, Hazbin/Helluva, Hetalia, The Amazing Digital Circus, The Last of Us, Outlast, or ship with Vaugn Trapp or certain characters on my enemy list, I'll block you.
If you play or ship in a Hoyoverse game (Genshin, Honkai, Zenless), and ARE NOT critical of the company behind them, kindly do not follow.
If you're uncomfortable with people having different headcanons or interpretations of characters, and cannot be civil, please don't follow.
If you see Heathcliff as "dog-coded" or draw him with canine features.* It's racist, and makes me immensely uncomfortable whenever people do it.

*Distortion/Telepole art is fine, but be mindful of how you portray him.

~ Blacklist ~

There are certain media and topics that make me uncomfortable, which I've included below. I'd appreciate you tagging them, so they'll be filtered.
General triggers include arachnids (spiders especially), body image, bugs, diseases, injuries, NSFW, politics, religious horror, unreality, and yandere.
Media I'd prefer not to see include Arknights, Danganronpa, FAITH, Homestuck, Local58, Lucifer, Mandela Catalog, Signalis, and Teen Wolf.
Other things I'd like tagged include redraws of the "Down, boy!" Archie comic and posts about moles being where lovers kissed you in a past life.
You can use "#sherlock don't look" as a catch-all tag for any of the above! And, lastly, if I find you regularly post untagged NSFW, I'll unfollow.
If you've read my BYF/DNF in full, please send me the phrase, "A melancholy sweeter than common joy."

~ Limbus Company Spoilers ~

To clear up confusion and make my boundaries clearer for everyone, I've listed what I personally consider a "spoiler" for Limbus Company.
When it comes to spoilers, I operate on a "three strikes, you're out" policyโ€”I'll reach out through DMs the first two times, but on three? I block.
I never intend to vague or upset anyone if/when I make posts expressing frustration at getting spoiled. I'm allowed to express my feelings.
As a general rule, assume that if something is a "teaser," it's best to tag it as spoilersโ€”even vague mentions of something from a teaser could risk me being spoiled, as I'm quick to piece things together from context clues.
Finally, these are my boundaries. If this bothers you, block me.
Type of ContentWhat I Consider a Spoiler
Cantos & IntervallosI consider names, new characters, and scenes to be spoilers.
IDs & E.G.OI consider these to be spoilers until they're added to the game via an update.
ID StoriesI consider these to be spoilers for a week following an ID's release.
Mirror DungeonsI consider new E.G.O Gifts, Hidden Bosses, and Theme Packs to be spoilers.
Refraction RailwayI only consider stages to be spoilersโ€”going in blind is my preferred way to play.
WalpurgisnachtI consider everythingโ€”anouncers, names, new IDs/E.G.O, and story scenesโ€”to be spoilers.

~ Romantic Faves ~

I only have a handful of romantic faves, and I seldom gain new ones.
I consider myself to be a non-sharing self shipper. This means that I'm not always comfortable sharing my romantic favesโ€”please respect that.
All the characters listed here are from either Library of Ruina or Limbus Company; I have included my sharing status for each of them, as well.
Feel free to tag me in art of these characters! Just be wary of spoilers.
While these characters are listed as "romantic faves," my ships aren't romantic in a traditional sense, due to me being gray-romantic.
For a character's name and tag, please hover over their portrait!

~ Platonic Faves ~

I have tons of platonic favesโ€”while I rarely develop crushes on characters, I regularly experience platonic feelings for them.
I try to keep this list as up to date as possible, and will add to it often.
I do have some "main" platonic faves, who I talk about more than others. These characters are Malkuth, Hod, Don Quixote, Ishmael, and Outis.
All of the characters listed here are either from Lobotomy Corporation, Library of Ruina, or Limbus Company, and I'm fine sharing them!
For a character's name and tag, please hover over their portrait!

~ Familial Faves ~

I have a handful of familial faves, but they're all important to meโ€”especially Gebura, Sinclair, Nothing There, Scorched Girl, and Dullahan.
If we share one of these characters, know I'm uncomfortable with others calling my inserts their sister/daughter; please refrain from doing so.
I am okay with people calling my inserts their sister-in-law, however, so you're free to do so, if you're comfortable with that! If not, that's fine, too.
All of the characters listed here are either from Lobotomy Corporation, Library of Ruina, or Limbus Company, and I'm fine sharing them!
For a character's name and tag, please hover over their portrait!

~ Enemy "Faves" ~

These are characters that I consider enemiesโ€”usually due to them being bigoted in some way. I've included specific reasons when applicable.
I want to be clear on thisโ€”I think every one of these characters is well-written. I like them, but I do so critically. I do not condone their actions.
I won't follow if you ship with the characters on this list (excluding Argalia, Carmen, Dante,* Der Freischรผtz, Faust,* Ricardo, and WhiteNight).
All of the characters listed here are either from Lobotomy Corporation, Library of Ruina, or Limbus Company, and I'm fine sharing them!
For a character's name and tag, please hover over their portrait!

*I am VERY critical of how Faust treats Heathcliff, and will call out her behavior, and the way Dante treats Don Quixote, Heathcliff, and Rodya frustrates me.

~ The Sinner ~

SINNER NO: #14SOURCE: The Complete Sherlock HolmesEMOJI: ๐Ÿ”
SIGNATURE: ElementaryCOLOR: Perceptive Pewter (#7F7262)
Sherlock Holmesโ€”or Sherryโ€”is my Limbus Company OC who doubles as my self insert. As her name implies, she's based off Sherlock Holmes.
While she doesn't use labels, she's a cisgender woman, and her identity is best described as grayromantic* and graysexual*. In terms of attire, she wears both "feminine" and "masculine" clothing, but prefers the latter.
*This insert is only attracted to menโ€”please don't ship her with women.
She's paired with Heathcliff, but she also has history with Herbert.

~ Organization ~

I have a variety of tags that I use to keep my blog orderly, all of which can be found here, sorted into categories based on their purpose.
As stated in my BYF/DNF, my blog isn't spoiler free. That said, I do have media tags that you can filter if you're looking to avoid spoilers!
Additionally, if you want to avoid seeing certain people on your dash who I may interact with, I recommend filtering their unique mutual tag.
When viewing my AU tags, please note that, when included in posts, they'll be prefaced with "AU:"โ€”this helps me distinguish them.
