new york city is an metallic, concrete forest. densely populated & vast, no two strangers ever seem to come across one another again. generally speaking, of course, since variables & exceptions should always be accounted for. one gaunt hand shakily slithers up along the exterior of some establishment as an attempt at keeping her world from tumbling sideways. by all accounts, jessica looks pathetic in her drunken stupor. but she’s only a few blocks away from that shitty little nest she calls home. she can make it.
“ i smell like shit, look like shit & i’m one shot away from blackin’ out. so unless you wanna deal with this mess, i suggest you steer clear tonight. name’s jessica jones. google me. or don’t. i don’t care. “
“ hilarious, really. “ and there’s the how i met your mother one. nice. forty-two years of puns and he couldn’t have had any better. doesn’t mean he’s not going to accept the booze.
“ just a heads up, if you take the joke an extra mile & start wearing purple, i might have to snap your neck or something. “
sounds like a joke, probably should be, but middle aged men & lavendar shades kind of set her on edge these days. lilac flashes, neon signs – fingertips at the crook of her neck & a whisper in the back of her bind, barreling to the forefront.
been a while since her last episode, no need to go inadvertently stumbling back into traumatic recollections.
“ i’ll place a liquor-bet on you havin’ an interesting story. guy like you doesn’t end up the way he is by spending most of his life behind a desk. “
even with a distracted mind, he notices the blood on her hands, the lack of struggle in the finished chaos behind them, and her drinking whatever was inside the shot glass like it’s water. 1) she’s used to this. 2) she’s a hell of a fighter.
“ oh. good t’know. those idiots fried my brain. “
throwing punches doesn’t mean she’s a skilled fighter – on the contrary, she’s quite poor at it. unfair advantages just make things a little bit easier to do, taking care of SELF-ABSORBED douchebags included. resting the weight of her torso on the long bar table, she reaches over the counter & snatches a bottle, filling her glass.
“ yeah. i guess they don’t like it when their masculinity feels threatened. “
“ oh no, i ain’t joinin’ this goddamn bar fight. “
fair skinned knuckles dabbed with crimson, blood of a vein that isn’t her own. down the hatch goes a shot & she’s unflinching, taking it like water as she eases into the seat next to him.
Triggering topics are acceptable as long as they’re tagged.

Mun and muse are both of age.
I reply at the speed of molasses, and I do prioritize threads that click with me the best.
This blog will be loaded with spoilers! Jessica Jones spoilers will NOT be tagged starting January, 2016. Any movie in theaters or between theaters and home release WILL be tagged. Spoilers for TV Shows will ALSO be tagged.
I am available on skype, though I might be spotty. Anyone is free to add me, just be sure to tell me who you are or I’ll assume you’re a spam bot! My skype is {the.yummy.michi}
Mun and muse are separate! While Jessica and I have our similarities, we also have many differences. Don’t assume that Jessica is speaking on my behalf.

This blog is selective!
The reason for me choosing not to follow someone is mine alone.
It takes me a long time to look through my followers. So if you have followed me in the past month or two, I likely haven’t seen it yet. My follower count frequently fluctuates, and I’m lazy, so it is not something I keep up with regularly.
I will prioritize mutuals, but I will also interact with non-mutuals.
Just because I don’t follow you doesn’t mean you aren’t welcome to interact with me or send me an ask.
F E E L F R E E T O...
Remind me about an RP! Just be reasonable and understanding.
Tag me in a starter or send me an ask!
Reply to my open posts
Add me on skype, or message me to plan a thread
Ask the mun or muse questions
Become a friend of mine!
Offer constructive criticism.
Give feedback.
D O N O T ...
Be judgmental.
Attempt to force a ship onto me.
Attempt to force smut onto me.
Be rude, or generally insulting/unpleasant (OOC).
I N T E R A C T I O N S
I am open to one liners, Para, Multi-Para and even Novella length threads! The latter, however, will take longer for me to reply to under most circumstances.
Crack is welcome and encouraged!
I prefer that my partners be literate! This isn’t to sound cruel, but I find it difficult to follow posts in which I cannot understand what is happening.
You do not need to match length, but be reasonable. If I post a paragraph, or multi-paragraph, open starter and you reply with a single line, I will ignore it. There are exceptions, but I’ll leave you to determine these for yourselves.
NSFW will happen eventually! Whether it be smut, gore, ect.
I am very open to ideas and cross-fandom interaction! I also welcome OCs.
Dark topics, ones that typical are identified as triggers, are welcome here as long as they are tagged! Very few things bother me and I’m actually deeply intrigued by the darker side of literature. As long as subjects are handled appropriately, then I am willing to give it a shot.
Unless it is properly justified, your muse should not know every detail about Jessica’s life! Your muse should not have information that isn’t publicly available, unless there is an acceptable reason for it.
I tend to avoid OC Relatives to my muse. I can make exceptions, though, at my own discretion. Contact me before interacting.
I reply to some people faster than others. Please, do not take it personally. More often than not, it is because my muse takes me to certain threads before others. Whether it be because of the character, the writing style, or because I know the mun ooc.
No godmodding.

This is a multiship blog.
All relationships exist in separate timelines/universes/ect. Unless stated otherwise.
I may eventually have a "Main Ship".
Chemistry comes before everything! I have my ships, but it should work on both ends before anyone makes it a thing.
Smut is not a necessity! I’m perfectly fine with including it, but it is, by no means, a requirement.
Smut does NOT equal a ship.
There should be some sort of development before a ship begins!
I DO have exclusive ships, which means I will not ship with a duplicate of the muse. See below.
E X C L U S I V I T Y
Generally, I do interact with duplicates of other muses. HOWEVER, it is entirely possible for me to have an exclusive ship partner or an exclusive partner of a certain muse. What’s this mean? Simply put, if I have an exclusive ship partner, then I will not ship with a duplicate of that muse. I will interact with duplicates of that muse, hell they might even sleep together. But the pair will NOT end up in a relationship. THIS IS A FLEXIBLE RULE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT IT, THEN SIMPLY ASK. If I have an exclusive RP partner, then that means I will not interact with a duplicate of that muse.

This looks and sounds like a lot. I know that. But, really, this blog is super lax. So don’t let the wall of text steer you away any. Don’t be afraid to just jump in and have fun.
