part of accepting love for me also requires accepting grief, dissolution. my pets will die, my friends may drift from me, lovers may have a change of heart. none of it makes the love in vain. part of accepting love is accepting movement. but love is mostly letting myself get lost in the moment, i am learning. letting myself be fully alive in the now. i dont always need to think that far ahead all the time. the potential exists now.

Hi! Just wanted to ask if there's ever going to be a chameleon moon 3, or if its staying as a duology? I know you've moved on to new things like steak sauce, so I don't if you plan to come back to it! 💜

Oh yes! There definitely will be. 💚 I've been very sidetracked yeah but also very burnt out and sick over the past... Years. Which I'm just barely starting to come out of now! So yes, I truly freaking pray that continues.

... And No Promises, but the original plan was for SEVEN Chameleon Moon books! 😅 SO yes! I want to do many more! Just need the energy and wellness!

THANK YOU for caring! 💜

One time my dad came to family dinner all excited “you know that show Sherlock? I hear fans are writing whole new stories for it online”

And in perfect unison my sister and I yelled “DAD NO!” So vehemently he stopped in his tracks.

Then a look of dawning comprehension on his face.

“Oh, this is like Kirk and Spock, isn’t it”

And I died right then and there.

My mom was into fanfic back when it was still all in handmade zines passed back and forth in-person. My mother is the one who first told me what fanfic was. My mother used to print her favorite fics out on our home printer and stick them on the shelf to read again later. My mom had an Ao3 account before I'd ever heard of Ao3.

Fanfic is not some new millennial/gen z thing that nobody over 35 knows about. It's really not that weird for middle-aged folks and elders to be into it. The folks who were writing Spirk fic in the 60s are, like. Still around.

Yes they are. And some of them have given me actual money to write for them!

It's an amazing world we live in. :)

My dad has an Ao3 account. I don’t know what his preferred fandoms are. The only reason he knows mine is because I talk about them, but he doesn’t ask me for links.

funds for indigenous communities affected by the canada wildefires *updated*

updates (as of 6 june 2023):

i’ll update this as i find more fundraising initiatives and please free to share your own. reblogs with anything than sharing resources/mutual aid requests/fundraising opportunities get blocked. 

I think it is very funny in modern Batch AUs when everyone is like gainfully employed with a steady income because it's the life we want for them but also i think they should be living 6 people to a one bedroom apartment getting by on odd jobs. Crosshair in particular is fundamentally unemployable. Tech sells full fake identities on the dark web. Wrecker had a really good construction job for a while but the foreman said something gross about a passing lady and Wrecker was forced to fight him for it and he got fired. Echo and Hunter are the doordash and uber eats team. Omega doesn't legally exist and has never been to school, they just found her one day. What's legal adoption?

"why are people allowed to just change genders nowadays when IIII was never allowed to do that??" babes you can <3 i have testosterone if you wanna try it <3

So, I, Um.... Yeah.

"There, there, you're all right now," I gently lied, as I lay him down to rest. And then, I told the truth, with all my heart. "And it will be all right. The room is dry, Sherlock. The waters are far, far from you, and they will not enter as long as I am here. Now rest. I will only be a moment." "Promise, John?" he asked, voice still high, faint, brittle. It was my name he'd said, I insisted to myself, most firmly. Mine.

oh me oh my

I love the dethsub episode its so god awfully funny

I love the scene where Nathan and Skwisgaar are working out as Toki just skates around without a care in the world while Pickles and Murderface try to deal with their own sexual frustrations.

The other day I saw a YouTuber I follow make a text post that said almost verbatim "sometimes I when I watch a thought provoking movie, I find I think about it for several days afterwards." the highlighted comment was someone saying "I think that's called hyperfixation?"

People seem to be increasingly oblivious to the difference between thinking about or liking something, fixating or focusing on it, and /hyper/fixation as a disxriptor of the extreme of this that occurs in neurodivergent people.

If someone reads "I think about things sometimes" and sees "hyperfixation", then I can totally see it following that "I think about people sometimes" becomes synonymous with "I am an obsessive creepy stalker with no boundaries"

Which. Sure is something.

Obviously the trend of people being weird about 'you need consent to have a crush, but also crushes are a sin' has been a slow rolling train wreck for a few years now, but seeing that YouTube comment made something click for me

can we please have more characters who are tired and caffeine addicted and dysfunctional and pathetic wet cats that are ALSO fat. you don't have to be skinny to be exhausted. also people have this idea that eating poorly always equals thinness, but tbh it goes the other way pretty often. anyway i just wish that the hot professor archetype wasn't always associated with being skinny
