If you saw my misspellings, no you didn’t <3

Welcome everyone! As this blog is my little internet cave, I’d like to lay out some quick rules (which I have rewritten as of August 2021):

-This blog is a safe space for EVERYONE. Here, we support LGBTQ+ rights, all pronouns, people of all races, people of all ethnicities and people of all genders. (More on this under the cut.)*

-Please stay far from this blog with any and all forms of bigotry. TERFS, alt-rightists, fascists and other discriminatory groups are not welcome here! (More on this under the cut.)*

-I’m absolutely okay with spam likes/comments! If you’re interested in my posts, by all means, like them!

-Don’t be afraid to (politely) criticize me when I mess up. Constructive criticism is welcome when it comes to my actions online. As for critiquing my writing: my non-fanfiction writings are always open to critique. I value growing as a writer. As for fanfics, you can criticize, but I may or may not take it into account as writing fanfiction is only a hobby and I don’t take it very seriously.

-Reposts are always welcome! Please include credit or simply hit reblog!

-IMPORTANT NOTE: All possibly shocking or NSFW content on this blog will be tagged and include trigger warnings. Possible triggers: photos of dead animals as related to bone collecting/vulture culture only- never shared for shock value, blood (within art or writing), discussion of death (as related to bone collecting and grief), and alcohol (mentioned in writing, the blog owner does not drink.) If something should include a trigger warning but doesn’t, PLEASE inform me via DM, comment or ask!

Anti-discrimination information and about-me under the cut.

In light of the Russian attack on Ao3 that sought to convince readers that Islam as a faith is anti-queer, let’s all give the hackers a big middle finger.

We will not stand for this hateful rhetoric.

We love our Muslim friends.

We love our queer Muslim friends.

We refuse to let malicious attackers discredit queer Muslim experiences.

Fuck these hackers, fuck homophobia, and fuck Islamophobia everywhere!

So... Are we all in agreement about writing and posting the SHITTIEST, SMUTTIEST gayest fanfic that we can possibly muster after Ao3 recovers?

Because I have never written smut in my life but I may just churn out a mangled lump of total bullshit soaked in lube and rolled in rainbow glitter then thrown out the window for other people's enjoyment, purely to piss the hackers off.

Encite gay chaos! GAYOS!!!!! ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜

After Ao3 recovers though. Let our beloved rest and recoup, of course.

I AM MAKING A DRACULA ANIMATIC !!

i found out how to use my current obsessions onto my final exams for university, and for my storyboard class im making an animatic about dracula !! it's reeeeaaaaally short, and it just represents a couple of the events from the begining of book.

can you guess what's gonna happen next?

i'm gonna have it ready by tomorrow and i'm super exited to share it here, so stay tuned if you wanna se the final result !!

I’ve been getting a few asks lately, so I think it’s time to repost the Hamlet Discord server link! Join if you like Shakespeare, even if you haven’t read Hamlet! We have channels about lots of other plays, some great conversations (many of which have nothing to do with Shakespeare rip), and an audiobook in production! Come hang out and share with friends!

In honor of Pride month, I’m donating 50% of all revenue from my online mushroom sticker shop to For the Gworls, which is, “a Black, trans-led collective that curates parties to fundraise money to help Black transgender people pay for their rent, gender-affirming surgeries, smaller co-pays for medicines/doctor’s visits, and travel assistance.” I’ll be running this fundraiser for the next 20 days (until the end of the month) and donating specifically to their Rent and Gender-Affirming Surgery Fund! I want to express my explicit support for the trans community and help with the funding of resources for the Black trans community!

I’ll post proof of my donation at the end of the month. You can also donate to For the Gworls directly if you’re not interested in mushroom stickers! Happy pride & support trans rights!

My post-graduation teen-gone-wild moment is staying up reading fanfiction

I’m gonna have the new Spiderverse movie spoiled for me because I had to study instead of watching it :(

We all knew this was coming, but it’s still absolutely terrifying to watch Jonathan discover that he is more and more helpless and alone by the day. I’ve seen a lot of people talking about how his stolen belongings leave him in more danger if he should every try to escape- he doesn’t have a coat and he’s sure to freeze- but also, he doesn’t have anything to remind him of home anymore. He’s clinging on to his notebook and the clothes on his back because they’re all he has left of home and the promise of home is all he has left of his sanity.
