It's the end of 2024, and man what a wild time this year has been for me. A whole host of things changed in my life but I knew I always had this space to fall back on. I came back to RP in October 2023, so this time last year I was still somewhat finding my feet but this year things really took off, and I have made some real friends that I absolutely treasure. Anyone who's followed me for a bit knows that I love surprising u all w a follow forever because I love to shout out the people who have made being here so fun and so special.

Much love to you all and I hope 2025 brings you everything you've ever wanted ♡.

@92328 / @laidbear

Every time I see you pop up in my notifications, I know I’m in for a treat. Your creativity is unmatched, and I love how real all your characters thoughts and motivations are even if it’s unconventional. I’m always so excited for whatever you have planned next.

@defloweir

We also haven’t written together a heap yet but I think your characters are really interesting and I’m really enjoying what we’re starting to do together with Callie and Colt. I’m excited to start digging into some of the others.

@demonstigma

Kage is so well-crafted, and I’m always wanting more every time we write together. You have such an incredible way of balancing chaos and heart, and I’m obsessed with our nonsense.

@epistrefei / @kinlochs

I know Artemis is a little quiet right now, but even though they were the one that sparked us off first, I love every single character you make. Every plot feels so rich and alive, and I’m so excited for whatever we cook up next.

@exquisitexagony / @cursedvessels / @distantsongsofjoy

Moss, the way you explore Sami's happiness and pain (as Arthur) and growth is so compelling. No matter what blog you’re on, I’m always excited for what we’ll create next together. You’re a star.

@filthystill

We also haven't been writing very long but even already it seems like your brand of nonsense matches my brand of nonsense. Your characters seem so interesting and I can't wait to see what else we cook up.

@freekzout / @hungryyheart

The most chaotic yet well-crafted duo I’ve ever seen. Not only that, but the rag-tag team on the multi, and Conrad (getting war flashbacks from that one time I called him Conan w my whole chest)? You bring so much life to every plot, and I love seeing the wild ideas we come up with take shape. Truly iconic.

@fvzzyelf

You are such a light on my dash. The creativity and care you bring to Kurt (and all your other characters) is so inspiring, and every time we write together, it’s something truly special. I’m so lucky to get to collaborate with you.

@gingerspiice

The way you craft Frenchie is so detailed and compelling to me. Every thread we’ve started is so fun, and even when you’re not writing with me I love seeing what shenanigans Frenchie is up to with everyone else.

@gollldrush

I know we’ve only really just started writing but I’ve seen you writing with other people on the dash and I’m already in love with Leo and Billie’s antics. I can’t wait to see what else we can throw together.

@idnull

The layers you bring to your characters is so inspiring. You’ve created some of the most complex and intriguing characters I’ve ever seen, and it’s always such a joy to explore their dynamics with mine no matter what pair or context we throw together.

@inrovina / @holyrots

There’s no character of yours that doesn’t feel alive and captivating. The way you build worlds and relationships is nothing short of masterful, and I’m so excited to play in this huge interconnected network we’ve built.

@interxstitial

I love seeing how Jiwon interacts with anyone I throw at him, and every dynamic we’ve explored has been so fun and meaningful. He and Flynn especially are so special to me, and I can’t wait to see what else we can throw together.

@kurjaks

Every time I see your writing, I’m blown away by Kurjak. Full stop. I’ve said it before but the choices you make for him, be it what he says or how he acts are so interesting and it makes for such compelling interactions.

@narrativedemanded / @narrativeanomaly / @narrativeobsession

The way you write your characters is so rich and full of life—I’m always captivated by the way you bring them to the forefront. The threads we’ve had by just throwing muses together have been some of the most fun I’ve had in ages.

@recitedemise / @mageister

Dean, your writing is like poetry, and I’m constantly in awe of the way you bring Gale and Dorian to life. Every thread feels so rich, and I can’t wait to see what more we can create together. You’re truly amazing.

@sorrowsick

Elliot, your creativity knows no bounds. Every time we come up with something, it feels fresh and exciting and just a little insane. I love the relationships we’ve built, and I’m so excited for whatever wild ideas we dream up next. 

@starlyht

You bring so much creativity and heart to everything you do. Every character you write feels so real and captivating, and as much as I love our interactions with Sol’rys and Fox, I’m so excited to explore this new stuff with Kyran and Sszefryn too.

@strszyga

Klava is so interesting to me. I love that she’s not easy to talk to in the first instance, because it makes me think of how my own characters interact differently. I can’t wait to see what else we do.

@soulmissed

The way you write August’s emotions is so beautiful and raw. Every interaction feels so meaningful, and I’m always excited to see where our threads will go. You’re such a talent.

@tewwor

You’re a master of chaos, and I love every second of it. Your characters and concepts are so vibrant and full of life, and I’m always so excited to see what we come up with together - or what you’re coming up with with other people.

@unpossession

Willow is such an incredibly rich and captivating character, and I love how we've started exploring her dynamics with Bella and Flynn. I'm so looking forward to what else we can throw together.

@vitalphenomena

I am in awe of your mind. The world building and depth you bring to your characters is so inspiring, and I’m so glad we get to write together. Every thread we put together is so much fun. 

@whileurmine

Every thread we’ve done has been an absolute joy. Your characters feel so real and layered, and I’m always so excited to see what we come up with next - particularly when it comes to the Roosevelt men and what grief my characters are giving them.

Also special shoutout to my darlings who were/are on hiatus but who I still think about lots:

traveling internationally for the first time in two weeks and I am irrationally anxious that, like, I am too American to go anywhere. There is some part of me that expects to get off the plane on the other side of the Atlantic and for the moment I step on the ground outside alarms to start blaring while I’m launched into the sky like Team Rocket as the very earth there rejects me.

a headcanon I just realized I have is that Light often has a lot of trouble living in the present moment and L often has a lot of trouble NOT living in the present moment. Light is a huge planner and forward thinker and accustomed to grinding through unpleasant current circumstances in order to achieve optimal future results. L is very keen on living for today and whatever is currently tickling his fancy and giving him the most excitement and pleasure and challenge, and prefers not to dwell heavily on the future nor the past. And I think that both of them normally feel uncomfortable and resentful if they are forced to do the opposite of what they are normally accustomed to doing.

[padawansuggest]

Okay so once more, I ask of assistance. Not like… required but I’m not gonna lie, this could improve my life to such a significant degree that I’m asking anyways.

So. I have a lot of disabilities that make it hard to get around, but what I’m asking for is help with getting a bike… not really, I need a trike… I know that’s to embarrassing to say as an adult but with my instability I don’t have the ability to keep upright on a bike. I need a trike.

I live in a VERY bike friendly town. It’s small (tho I’m still limited to very small parts of the town because I can only walk for so long and in this heat that’s a very short amount of time) and we actually have dedicated bike lanes here. We even have started construction on multiple bike lanes with center dividers to keep cars out of them, that’s how much this town is friendly to bikes.

And frankly the price isn’t that high either. Like 280$ or so, and I can order one on Amazon (no I cannot buy a trike in this town) and they have them with the giant baskets in the back for groceries and I can get a personal shopping basket for the front of the cart and that would bet. Awesome.

So. Ultimately, I would like a better quality of life and being restricted to a very small part of town because of mobility is kind of sad… I will accept any help you guys wanna give and drop into my PayPal in the bio.

[ghosts-and-blue-sweaters]

I am going to try writing… the last time I wrote Anything was sometime in early-ish December I think… starting again is quite intimidating and a bit scary. HOWEVER, posting about it on tumblr makes it feel a bit less intimidating and scary.

[lesbiancarat]

??? apparently minghao is no longer going to be recording for chuang asia S2 bc of scheduling issues... plybe doesn't plan to make an official announcement about it so The8Bar had to do it...

"Hey Bernadetta!" Caspar greets the door to her dorm with the same amount of cheer as if his classmate were standing out in front of it. "Are you in there? I just wanted to say happy birthday!"

His gift is a small one: a square pincushion embroidered with thistles crawling along the edges. He'd bought it a few weeks ago, though he hadn't thought of it as a potential birthday gift at the time. The color and shape of the flowers just reminded him so much of his friend that he thought he should show her! They're kinda thorny, but also soft and fluffy-- and purple, of course. He places the gift at the foot of the door, nestled in a small basket along with some extra needles and thread.

"I gotta run, so I'll see you later okay? Um, if I'm actually talking to you now." He lets out an awkward laugh. "But uh, I'll save you some sorbet if you come out for lunch! Seeya!"

⠀ ⚘ birthdaydetta 2k24 ♡ ⠀

caspar always talks enough for the both of them. in the very best way she is convinced he could carry a conversation with a brick wall if he tried. but there, behind that terribly familiar door, bernadetta is indeed listening. her mouth opens and closes, a sudden intake of breath here and there when she thinks she knows what she wants to say back—only for caspar to beat her to the punch. he is fast, she is slow. bernadetta might be jealous if she were not absolutely certain that having caspar's gusto and temperament would fizzle her out in seconds.

today is not so bad. despite what little shut-eye bernadetta had been able to get, existing feels marginally easier today—and not because it is her birthday. (if anything it should be the opposite. bernadetta has a bad track record with birthdays.)

today she can admit she is here, behind the door, behind the barriers. true though to his words, caspar leaves before she can gather any of her own to volley back—before she can tell him that yes, he's talking to her; yes, she's in there. the door cracks ajar, revealing two curious gray eyes. they fall to the basket at her feet and soften.

when he's not slinging her over his shoulder like a sack of rice, caspar is easier to be with than her sputtering could express. he is easy to befriend. he makes her feel like a friend, at least—but dare she assume? is it really okay?

he is not always gentle, but his boyish sincerity makes up for that in droves. it is what led him to her door with this gift. cute, is what she first thinks when she scoops up the gift and marvels at the thistles, her thumbs tracing the pincushion's elaborate stitching. it is small and unassuming, but bernadetta sees every part of the gift that made caspar think of her. and just the fact that she had been thought of—it's enough to warm her heart.

she thinks she will emerge for lunch, after all—just a quick meal—and bernadetta trusts he will hold up his promise. he is in for an earful from the birthday girl otherwise.

god i love baltimore (lie)

[brandwhorestarscream]

Super outta my lane but I just binged all of Dr. Stone in like 3 days and now all I can think of is Senku unknowingly being an alien and finding his biological family on the moon, responsible for the petrification of the entire planet. Ultimate drama

[literalite]

idk how or when this happened but whenever my friends decide to hang out all the decisionmaking and planning falls to me and im kind of sick of it 💀

[starlene]

If the performance schedule for Vasa the Musical doesn't line up with my already bought Moulin Rouge! Sweden ticket in October, I am going to be so so so so very very disappointed.

[ask-larspinfield]

Where I’ve been (again).

First off, for those that were asking, I do now have a cat. Two actually. Kittens. Khoshekh (black tabby) and Gretchen (grey tortoiseshell). I might post a photo of them. We shall see if they remain in one place long enough for me to take one.

I ended up getting a cold at the very end of April. Then the day after the post about possibly getting a cat I had to fly back home because of a family emergency. No I will not give details, it is a private matter, just know that everything is fine. 

My flight landed at JFK on Thursday and I got the cats on Friday. Technically I’m fostering them but I will be adopting them as soon as they’re old enough. Spent all of yesterday catching up on what I missed at work.

Apparently we have a new intern starting tomorrow. There will definitely be chaos in the lab and lots of complaints from me. Mostly in the form of me yelling on Tumblr because letting that live in my head is not a fun experience. 

@ask-peter-venkman I apologize in advance but I have a feeling I might be stealing from the cart of courage by the end of the week. You know how the early days with new interns go...

[maybankiara]

didn't expect myself to become a social media influencer at 25...
