You can find me on AO3, Fanfiction.net and Wattpad. I try to keep them all updated, but I'll probably publish on AO3 first.
Honestly, these days I'm mostly writing fanfiction, but considering I literally can't survive more than a week without writing (and I've finally decided to publish what I write), I'll write about this and that.
WRONG. talk about it. shout about it. yell about it. scream about it. so what if it’s a fanfic? it’s done with love and passion. it’s art created by a fellow human being who, despite life and lord knows what battle they may or may not be going through, probably stayed up all night writing it before they shared it with the world for free. they’d probably spent months or years writing it. it’s as much a piece of art and literature as any other art and literature that aren’t fanfics. and unlike artists who make profit off their works, fanfic writers truly write for free, because they are that passionate about their stories. the least we can do is show them our love and appreciation.
my daily affirmation as an author
I kinda miss emo era.
Not just because I miss the times when going out looking like you were heading straight to a funeral wasn’t considered socially unacceptable but just a “teen phase”; I miss the emo philosophy.
I miss having a whole movement that based its ideas and views on empathy and accepting pain as an inevitable part of life that should be celebrated, because being able to feel pain means that we still have humanity.
I miss the times when you could say ‘I’m sad’ and have an entire community shouting back that they were, too, instead of a thousand mental coaches and pseudo psychologists giving advices they read on Instagram posts.
I miss being able to shout “EVERYTHING FUCKING SUCKS” and receiving back a “HELL YEAH” instead of a “dude cringe…”
I miss crying over heartbreaking songs being normalised, people sharing the painful parts of their lives without feeling the need to censor themselves, I miss the internet before portraying one’s life as perfect on social media was the norm.
Also I kinda miss Welcome to the Black Parade being literally everywhere. And platform shoes. And weird hair.
some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.
I couldn't remember the word "doorknob" ten minutes ago.
ok but the onelook thesaurus will save your life, i literally could not live without this website

I use this every time I sit down to write. It's the best tool in the world and I would be lost without it!
No, you write fanfiction as a hobby. I went to uni solely to learn to write better. I will find a job that requires my writing skills and use them reluctantly, only so I can afford food, a laptop and a WiFi connection, and post on AO3. I will use my time on this earth to make 13 year old me proud.
I need you as my tutor
Careful for 90% of what I write is based on mentor/student dynamic
I have created a lot of OCs and for some reason they have become rather popular within my friend group. So… a lot of them have started using my OCs names as their nicknames. One of my friends, he’s the only straight guy in the group (he’s very straight. He’s like straight cis average guy. He has absolutely no understanding of queerness whatsoever). Now this guy, he hasn’t really read my stories. He just saw everyone going with the nicknames and joined in. He took the “which one of my OCs are you” quiz and ended up with an answer. He then proceeded to change his nickname to that character’s name literally everywhere. It has become his online identity.
That character whose entire story arc is about being gay for his best friend.
Now… I certainly am not going to tell him. My partner is not going to tell him. My friends are not going to tell him. No one is going to tell him. He’s just going around with a very gay nickname, and no one is going to tell him.
I think I accidentally queered up my only straight friend
