welcome to nondelphic, *a blog about writing, overthinking writing, abandoning writing, and occasionally finishing writing. if you’re a fan of crying about writing, niche metaphors, and posts that spiral into existentialism, you’re in the right place.

• 23, swedish
• writer, journalism student, full-time cat enthusiast (send me pictures of your cats)
• ace-ish queer-ish
• i probably have adhd (waiting to be officially diagnosed lol)
• most likely drinking tea and diving into a rabbit hole about space, mountains or stuff too complicated for me to understand right now
• my 2nd, less active blog is @rebellenotes where i post longer, more serious ramblings and essays.

i started this blog because i’ve always loved talking about writing—especially the struggles and chaos we all face as aspiring authors. none of my friends on other platforms cared (lol), so this space became my little haven for all things writing. i hope it can be that for you too, a safe, encouraging place to talk about stories, creativity, and all the weird ups and downs of being a writer (｡♥‿♥｡)

• ✏️ writing tips, memes, and struggles (mostly struggles)
• 📖 occasionally bookish content and recommendations
• 🌈 advocacy for lgbtq+ and disability rights !!
• 🍅 an unnecessary amount of love for cats and writing for fun

• #nondelphic asks : where i answer asks you sent me!

showing your writing to the quiet reader friend is like submitting a draft to the most judgmental literary journal imaginable

just realized how cringe it was that i named my english fic chapters un, deux, trois as a 13-year-old because i’m dating a french man now and he read the fic and was like “why are you counting at me”

yeah okay so turns out i’m not a lesbian. still aro-ace-spec. but i have a boyfriend now. and he kissed me. and my brain went “oh. OH. this is what they meant.”

like suddenly every smut scene i’ve ever read or written stopped being theoretical physics and started being a lab experiment with results. peer-reviewed. replicated.

anyway shoutout to smut writers everywhere. i finally get it. you were right. i was just late to the party (and standing in the corner overthinking my identity) ( ˘︶˘ )♡

edit: guys don’t worry i’m still really into women

accessibility is what keeps stories alive for everyone. happy world braille day ⠿ !! braille has given generations of blind and visually impaired people the ability to read, write, and share their own stories.

as writers, we know how powerful words are. but words only matter when people can actually access them. so here’s to braille, to accessibility, and to making sure stories belong to everyone. shoutout to everyone working to keep literature and information inclusive ♡

happy international television day 📺 shoutout to all the tv writers out there. you’ve given us iconic one-liners, devastating plot twists, and characters we’re still not over years later. tv has shaped culture, started conversations, and raised most of us.

to everyone in a writer’s room somewhere: i admire you, i fear you, and i wish to be one of you one day. xoxo

sorry i didn’t text back or post for two months i was busy dramatically thinking about my writing instead of actually writing

my birthday is tomorrow. i turn 23, but honestly, the older i get, the less my birthday feels important, and the more the causes i care about matter to me.

today, november 2nd, is international day to end impunity for crimes against journalists. and this one is close to my heart.

i studied journalism for over three years. even though i realized that the job itself might not be the right fit for me right now, i carry so much respect for journalism as a profession. for local reporters who cover community issues that truly affect people’s daily lives. for investigative journalists who hold power accountable. for conflict reporters who risk everything to get the truth out.

journalists should never be targeted for telling the truth. ending impunity means demanding justice for those lives, and protecting the ones still doing the work. journalism matters. journalists matter.

and maybe you’re thinking: “ok but i’m just a hobbyist fiction writer, why should i care about this?”

because independent journalism and democracy are tied together.

without free journalism, democracy falls apart, and without democracy, your stories are less likely to be heard, shared, or even allowed. the freedom to write, whether it’s a news article or a fantasy novel, lives in the same fragile ecosystem. caring about journalists is caring about the survival of storytelling itself.

and i want to take today to raise awareness about the journalists who have been killed in gaza, as well as those around the world who have lost their lives simply for doing their jobs. every time a journalist is silenced, we all lose a voice that was working to inform, to challenge, to document.

gaza is now the deadliest place for journalists in modern history. since october 2023, over 240 journalists have been killed in israeli strikes according to the united nations. most of them were palestinian journalists, targeted even though journalists are specifically protected as civilians under international law. israel has also barred international press from entering gaza, claiming it’s for their safety, really meaning: “we don’t want anyone to document proof of our war crimes.” silencing the press is silencing the truth, and it is a deliberate attack not just on journalism, but on justice itself.

when governments or militaries target journalists, what they’re really targeting is memory. they’re trying to erase the record of what happened, to control the story that survives. but journalism is about refusing that erasure. it’s about saying: we saw, we heard, we witnessed, and the world will know.

and this is why and how i connect it back to writing. because at its core, storytelling is resistance to silence. whether you’re writing a novel, a blog post, or reporting from the ground, you are preserving something that could otherwise be lost. free journalism keeps democracies alive, and democracy keeps all forms of writing alive.

so on this day, i’m thinking about the people who put their lives on the line for truth. i’m grieving the journalists killed in gaza, and everywhere else where reporting the facts has been treated like a crime. and i’m holding onto the belief that words, whether truthful, messy, or imperfect, still matter.

today is world mental health day 🩷 writing saved me when i felt like i had nothing else. when everything was too heavy, stories were the one place i could still breathe. starting nondelphic a little over a year ago gave me something to build, a space where i could put that love for writing and connect with people who feel the same.

mental illness doesn’t make you broken. so many of us go through it, and you’re not alone in the struggle. sometimes writing is escape, sometimes it’s survival, sometimes it’s the only way to make sense of your own head. and that’s okay.

to everyone out there still trying to put words on the page, whether it’s poetry, fiction, or just a messy journal entry — you’re doing more than you think. and if you’re here, you’re already making it through ♡

october is for character development. november is for consequences.
