Someone who will Never Come Home

I needed you the other night,

But you were not there to comfort me.

So, instead, I gathered my blankets, and

Piled up my stuffed animals,

My bed warm and inviting for someone

Who will never come back home to it.

Magnus Chase and Alex Fierro had been existing as peacefully as two dead warriors of Odin can until reports of a strange man began coming in. No one seemed to be able to identify this mysterious stranger who had a penchant for showing up at the worst times. After confirming him as an immortal, -- albeit unidentified -- the two call in reinforcements. Nico di Angelo and Will Solace had been recovering in peace from their most recent quest to the pits of Tartarus when they recieved a request for help from Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase. Annabeth's cousin Magnus was in need of help identifying a potentially stray Greek entity in Boston. But are the four demigods out of their element with their new quest? They can't be sure this is even their territory, much less how they can help. Maybe they should turn back before they add a new God to the list of those demanding their help. But will they have a choice when this mysterious entity reveals himself?

Proper synopsis for Finn Ramirez vs the World (working title)

Finn just wishes he was a normal kid. Not a disabled trans gay latino in America. Life isn’t easy for him. But maybe his junior year will be better. It’s his third school in five years, and he’s got a good feeling about this year. He’s determined not to get attached to anyone so he won’t have to risk the heartbreak in a couple years.

But then, Denver comes into the picture. Tall, strong, cocky Denver Khan. Finn isn’t so sure how to feel about this overconfident boy. But maybe he isn’t so bad.

Together, Finn and Denver navigate ableist teachers, over-excited parents, and all of the struggles that come with being seventeen.

This may not be a typical romance, but Finn and Denver aren’t typical kids.

[alix-writes-things]

I haven’t posted here in forever, but! I have a new novel I’m working on, and I am planning on posting it here chapter by chapter.

The story is about a disabled trans Colombian guy named Finn Ramirez. It’s about his experiences in a new high school with meeting a boy and navigating the public education system while being LGBTQ+, disabled, and Latino.

I can give a more detailed synopsis if y’all would like!

Stay safe, nerds! /aff

SHOUT OUT TO MY WRITER HOMIES WITH MUSLIM OCS/CHARACTERS;

1. WEARING A SHAWL TO BATTLE IS THE EQUIVALENT OF HAVING GIRLS FIGHT IN STILLETTOS. 

Just so you know, this is what I’m talking about;

-Is it bad-ass? Abso-fucking-lutely. Is it Practical? Not a chance in hell. Especially not if it’s silk. If it’s cotton, you are skating on thin fucking ice. That bitch will NOT stay on. It barely stays on with me just walking down the street to Walmart. Wielding axes and rifles and swords and daggers? I PROMISE you it will not do the job it’s expected to-WHICH IS TO COVER THE HAIR. (Some muslim girls dont wear them-and that’s fine. But those who DO do it to completely cover the hair in public. Is it ~Aesthetic~ to see the flyaway hairs in battle? Sure, but those aren’t usually practical either. )Consider instead; 

sport shawls 

-For one thing, it’s actually DESIGNED to be worn to atheletic activities. Archers tuck hems into the collar of their shirts so they don’t get in the way, and track runners pins (ill get to this bit later) them down into the shirts to prevent flyaway bits and to stop them from getting slapped in the face. It’s breathable, stretchy, presentable without being attention seeking. 

Bawals 

In a pinch, bawals work just as well-as long as you specify that they are COTTON. Unlike the shawl, which are rectangular, bawals are SQUARE, and thus easier to manipulate, fold and pin down. If you wear it right, they carry an equal aesthetic value to shawls, and come in plenty of pretty patterns as well. 

2. I’m not sure about the USA, but the girls I know wear this underneath the headscarf;

Does it kinda look like a beanie? It sort of works like a beanie too. Hair is slippery. It tucks in any extra hair you might miss just by wearing the headscarf, its harder to pull down and on the event the shawl DOES fall down, your hair is still not exposed. It protects the ears-which is important even on a daily basis, because pins, headphones and any other headgear that might pinch them. It comes in plenty of designs, including ones that has open backs to allow long hair and ponytails. 

3.SPEAKING OF PINS; I’M TALKING ABOUT THESE BAD BOYS;

BROOCHES 

though , i suppose most of y’all are most familiar with safety pins, right?

what’s the difference? Well, if your oc/character is an athlete, it’s actually LEAST likely they’ll be wearing SAFETY PINS. They’re cheap and super easy to buy in bulk, true, but they also SUPER easy to wear out even with the smallest amount of strenuous activity. Between the three of ‘em, I’d put the brooches as the best option to wear in battle because 1) it has a large surface area, thus hurts less when pressed on with heavy items, which includes bag straps and weapons, (pins are sharp and can poke you painfully);  and 2) more secure-the latch is covered by the gaudy jewellery above, and theyre usually smaller and tighter. Stays on the stubbornnest, even when headscarf is pulled. very roughly. I’m saying that even the cheapest brooches will allow the shawl to be ripped apart before even letting it go. 

3. They probably ponytail their hair. Because Come On, guys.

Anyway it’s been bothering me and I just thought if yall could bother knowing the difference between skin tones for POC you could bother with muslim practicalities too. Or something

[alix-writes-things]

Please!! Even if it’s in the tags! I go through and read those! I love getting comments! It makes me feel as though I’ve done something right! Please! Even if it’s just a keysmash or “idk what to say but I loved this”! We appreciate all comments. And, this is just my personal opinion, I prefer getting negative comments over none at all. Because then I know that someone didn’t like it rather than stressing myself out over “they liked it but didn’t say anything. Was it just the reflex like or did they genuinely like it? Was it not good enough?” Please just give us feedback. Keysmashes are great. “How dare you” is one of my favourites. Just please for the love of all that is good, c o m m e n t

hi im bitter about people not commenting on fics. im sad seeing all these authors get so discouraged because no one comments. it takes like 5 seconds! just do it!! dont know what to type? me neither! heres some handy pre-written comments for you! “I dont know what to comment! That was great! thank you for your hard work!” “That was lovely! I really enjoyed this chapter/fic.” “How dare you?” “AAAAAAAAAAAAA” “Extra kudos because one is not enough!” if you read a fic and dont know what to say, leave the tab open, come back later! see if theres a line you really liked! tell them if it reminded you of something dumb! tell them if your roommate saw you crying while reading it and now your roommate is reading it!!! SHARE WHATEVER. BE INCLUSIVE! everyone wants to hear SOMETHING. silence kills passion. show authors you care! show artists you care!!!!

Can you shut up for five minutes, please???

He’s been gone for quite a while

I can’t see anything.

I heard a noise.

Scary movies are for chumps.

You’ve gone to the bathroom fifty times today.

The floor is lava.

Where’s my food?

I bet you feel like an artist

Did you ever clean the attic?

Can I be of assistance?

Get out of the way before I murder you.

I think you forgot who wears the pants in this relationship

You’re breaking my heart, babe.

Cry me a river.

Build a bridge.

Get over it.

Another credit card?!

It’s just rain, you aren’t gonna melt!

When’s the last time YOU cleaned the bathroom?

I don’t know why I married you.

Have you ever lied to me?

If I trip over one more of your shoes, I’m throwing them all away.

Aren’t you supposed to be the adult?

I’m stuck! Help me!

I swear, I’m not scared.

What do you think a cupholder is for?

You know when your phone buzzes, it means I’m trying to talk to you, right?

Turn that sh*t off!!!!

When’s that last time we went on a date?

I thought you didn’t like cats?

The door’s locked.

Remember when you were a kid and you ______ (insert memory)

I’ll just tell your mom on you.

I thought you were nice.

I had a dream about you.

I work pretty hard around here, but you get all the credit

What color do you like better?

Am I your husband or your taxi service?

Take notes, sweetheart.

This is where you impress me, right?

Pick up lines only work when I’m drunk.

I can’t believe you didn’t remember

If that makes me a child, so be it.

I could beat you up, you know that right?

Would it kill you to help people?

I bet you can’t go 24 hours without cussing.

But, I said I love you.

Is it just me or is cold as hell in here?

I’m not weird, you’re just basic.

Just sleep with one eye open, that’s all I’m saying

Take off your shirt.

Why’s there a pregnancy test in the trash?

Way to go, kid.

I found the candles, we’ll be alright.

We could get struck by lightning, but you want to kiss in the rain.

You’re never this quiet, what’s wrong?

…or we could make out….

I said “I HAVE AN IDEA!”

Down the hall, second door on the left.

I warned you. He warned you. Your freaking mom warned you.

Sit still, for the love of all that is Holy.

Are you even human?

We’ll talk later.

K.

I’m afraid.

I thought there was time.

Can you just leave me alone?

I’ll carry it.

We’re not ‘fine’.

Are you really taking his side right now?

I like proving you wrong.

Girls can’t drive, plain and simple.

Who are you?

I think you need stitches

Must be a coincidence

Can you be romantic for once?

This is your fault by the way.

Nothing bad is going to happen, baby, I promise.

Excuse me for falling in love with you.

I have fans. More fans than you to be exact.  

I paid for half and you ate three-quarters.

I knew you’d be mad.

If you die, I’m going to kill you.

You’ve never smoked anything in your life.

You gave me a black eye.

Stop looking at me like that, weirdo.

What if it sinks?

Birds can’t fly without wings.

Sorry I’m protective over the things I love.

That SOOO classifies as a date.

No backsies.

You’re an idiot. I married an idiot.

I never liked it, I lied.

Remember, we have to get up early tomorrow.

Are you trying to flirt? Because, you’re embarrassing yourself.

Remember when we were dating and you _____

Be brave, sweetheart.

I’m sorry, but that was adorable.

You don’t hate me, quit lying to yourself.

You hear that? That’s the sound of my awesomeness.

She’s my daughter, I can read her diary.

That’s a fact, Jack.

Actually, I couldn’t care less.

I try my best.

Doesn’t make a difference to me anyways.

I’m glad you’re mine.

You look pretty good for your age.

You passed out for like an hour.

Delete it. Now.

You’re a jerk.

Are you high?

No, you’re MY bitch.

Ew ew ew. You’re so gross.

Spare change for the poor and lonely.

She’s 6, how can she scare you?

When’s the last time we ______

He’s spoiled rotten.

I can’t stay long.

There’s nothing we can do.

Do you ever stop smiling?

Step aside and watch a pro.

Never give him stuff like that!

You’re the one who left it laying around.

I’m a lucky girl. I’ll admit that.

Teach me how to play?

It’s called a prank.

Well, you’re a prick.

Good, I hope you feel bad.

You have cold, you’re not dying.

I have reasons. You wouldn’t get it.

I hope you have a cold shower.

You don’t mean that.

Sing to me, please.

Did you enjoy yourself last night?

Why do they behave for you?

Stop making your own rules.

Don’t open an umbrella in the house.

You know what happens when you assume things.

That’s open for discussion.

Oh, what a shocker, you have an excuse.

Be serious for two minutes, please.

I cheated.

What’s the biggest lie you ever told?

Pillows are over-rated.

Zombies aren’t real, I promise.

Are we lost or do you know where we are?

We started with one and now we have seven. You have no chill.

Untitled Unapologetic Rage Song by @alix-writes-things / @hiddenagender14

Shit took a wrong turn at Albuquerque

I guess you could say I’m a little “quirky”

My brain’s a mess

My heart’s a wreck

Im anxious, dysphoric and depressed

I guess I just gotta get used to living my life like this

Wrong body

Wrong brain

I’m in pain

But to you it’s a fucking game

This is my fucking life and I’m over it

I’m suicidal

But you decide

If I get to live or die

I get no say in who I am anymore

And honestly at this point my life’s just a fucking chore

I’m done

I just kinda wanna curl up and die

‘Cause because of you I spend my nights awake just to cry

It’s a mess

It’s a menace

And I’m on the fence

Of just jumping off a bridge with a rope around my neck

One end tied to a pole with me in its hold

I’m sorry daddy but I ain’t making it back home

Tell my siblings that I love them

Tell my friends not to miss me

Tell mama she can go fuck herself because she caused some of this misery

And no I ain’t placing blame

None of you are the reason my brain ain’t the same

As the rest of the world

They all laugh

They all smile

I’m sure it’ll take awhile

For any of y’all to know why I did this

But, hey, Jesus gave up his life

So merry fucking Christmas

Thats another thing

I’m a fucking atheist

I don’t believe in your “god” or any of their fame

I don’t do the whole religion thing

To me they’re all just the same

One made up story after another

They kinda blend together

Another fucking thing

Who you calling she?

That’s what started this misery

Bitch it’s fucking They/Them

And no I’m not multiple people

Grammar rules state that “they” can be singular

So miss me with that bullshit

Give me a different excuse

Don’t tell me that you won’t respect me

Just ‘cause of some dude on THC

The bible was a trip

We all fucking know it

Tell me what he smoked

So I can fucking smoke it

Yeah weed ain’t that bad

I’m sorry I had to say it

Next topic

What’s next?

Oh yeah

I’m fucking gay

I only like girls and non binary people

Boys are kinda iffy

To be honest

They’re a little bit icky

Too grabby

Too much staring

Masculinity is a prison

So is femininity

I break the fucking moulds

I’m an androgynous motherfucker

Who probably won’t get to grow old

Yeah, that’s right

My life expectancy is like fucking 30

Don’t expect me to stick around past like 20

Y’all are fucking bullshit

Spreading hate

Spreading lies

Thinking the gays will turn your kids to flies

And feed em to the frogs

That I guess we also turned gay

I wasn’t aware that sexuality was something you could persuade

You think this is a choice?

Think I chose to be hated?

I’m not a misfit that your god accidentally created

I’m a fucking human being

Not magic or witchcraft or fucking tranny spells

I’m a bitch who ain’t shit

But I sure am more than you

Kicking your son out just because he kissed a dude

Putting your daughter on the streets

Because she was born a he

Listen up, bitch

We’re in the 21st century

This shit it ain’t new

But your hate’s looking pretty old

Might wanna open up a window

It’s getting pretty hot

Oh wait, it’s because your daughter’s in the room

But before you call the cops

Just let me say...ha! Bitch you thought!

Just let me live my life

I ain’t doing any harm

The only thing I’m hurting here

Is my fucking arm

I been cutting since 11

Wanting to die since I was 6

You bet your ass I wish there were a simple fix

If you take away anything from this song

It’s that there’s a lesson you need to be learning

Because you’re fucking wrong

Sure I’m a little controversial

A little bit outspoken

But don’t try to fix what ain’t broken

Because one day you might be on the streets

That your kid was once lurking

Oh you want an apology?

For not giving you a warning?

Didn’t know we were talking about stuff that’s quite alarming?

Well get your head outta your ass

Look around at the people who pass

Remember refusing to apologise to them?

For the abuse

For the hate crimes

For all the times you made them cry

Oh, look!

Your thoughts are swarming!

Here’s your fucking trigger warning.

[alix-writes-things]

Okay. It’s been decided. After a unanimous vote (of two people because I’m impatient), I will be posting the lyrics. I’m gonna go ahead and give a little warning: they are kinda dark. I will be tagging appropriately, but if I miss a tag, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Stay safe, kiddos!

So. I wrote a song. Would any of y’all maybe be up to seeing the lyrics at least?

Stay safe, kiddos!

We Need to Talk About Engagement

No, I don’t mean that step you take in the pursuit of marrying someone.

I mean interaction. Messages and reblogs.

A couple months ago, there were posts circulating about how the like to ratio reblog was unfair because likes do not give writers the opportunity to be seen where reblogs do. Once enough people reblogged this or added to it, engagement went way up and the ratios were better and people were sending messages and replying to fics about how much they loved them!

Then, it seems, everyone went “I did my part” and gave up on it.

Engagement seems to be at an all-time-low; the like to reblog ratio seems to be gapped even wider now, people are hardly sending messages in, and heck people are even reading fics without even LIKING them.

I thought it was me at first and that everyone grew bored of my writing, but then my friends said they weren’t gaining much attention either or they were no longer receiving many asks. And then posts about it started popping up about how engagement was down 50%.

Why? What is so bad about reblogging a fic or replying to it? We write for ourselves, but the sweet comments and messages make it worth putting out there for people. Seeing people simply like it or pay no mind to it is very discouraging.

Here are some things you can do to help engagement go up that are barely any effort on your part and are very appreciated:

Reblog a fic if you like it. You don’t even have to say anything if you are allowing other people the chance to see it.

Send asks. Comment on your reblogs if there’s something for you to say. Reply to the post. Put things in the tags bc we go and read them!

Popular writers; if you see a fic and you enjoy it, you should reblog it. If you have a nice following, they should be seen just as much as your fics should be, especially if written by a smaller writer.

Even if all you want to do is DM someone to tell them how great their fic is, that’s wonderful!

I understand there’s some inferiority/superiority thing on here where bc someone’s writing is popular they seem intimidating, but we LOVE COMMENTS. WE LOVE ASKS. IF SOMEONE DOES NOT LIKE THESE THINGS THEN THEY ARE A JERK WHO YOU SHOULD NOT SUPPORT THE WRITING OF.

Please just tell us what you’re thinking even if it’s “sdfoisjdfaslk” bc we really appreciate it and it makes us WANT to keep writing and showing our work.

The lack of interaction from people and the amount of silent readers who do no more than like is so discouraging to us and I think that’s kind of obvious across the platform, so PLEASE, do not be afraid to tell us what you think of the fic and to reblog it.
