Re: unbonded rping

That's kind of what I was thinking too, honestly (though I hadn't thought of the icky feelings part), it's why I wasn't sure if unbonded threads would still be an option. It's fun when it's quiet, but when it comes to inspiration for an unbonded that could easily be adopted a week later, it makes it rather sticky. It's also why I mentioned what I had in mind - the image that struck me out of the blue would be fun to play with, leaving any true developments to the new bonded and the adopted, but it could also be hard to drop it instead of having it stick around as 'unofficial history.'
As far as those concerns of obligation or pressure go, I hadn't thought of those because there wouldn't be any such obligation intended. It was the first bit of "on my own" inspiration I've had in more months than I like to admit, so it seemed worth a shot - but honestly, while I do admire her I don't feel any desire to claim and bond her. It's almost like she's already bonded to someone else, same as your Zephyr or when Nyx first got AmbientWonder - I think they're massively stunning, and I eagerly kept up with all Amy's threads to see how she developed, but as an admirer. That's as far as it goes. Hybrid was responsible for the image slap, since she's his type - if it'd happened with someone already bonded I would have poked them about playing with it.
Now I just need one of them to smack me with an image I can actually use! XD
