pity anything but me except yourself / and make the paper red if you can't manage black -glyphpoems Hello! Because I maintain zero focus, there are a number of things you might know me from. Here's a helpful rundown: Right now my biggest community hobby is streaming on Twitch. We mostly play weird indie games and try to make everything into a dating sim. Old streams are archived on my Youtube channel. I'm mostly known because of my writing. I write about unusual people in unusual relationships, and publish a few short stories a month over on my Patreon. You can check out a freebie here. Sometimes I yell about mental health, primarily ADD/ADHD and depression. This is the ADHD post that I love the most, and this is where most of it tends to collect. Other things I do here include reblogging a bunch of puns and taking some dang good selfies. This used to be more of a fandom blag and I have written a heck of a lot of fanfic - primarily Homestuck, but also some Hatoful Boyfriend and Transistor. You can find all these fannish efforts over here, or there's a Master List that is somewhat out of date but better-organised by in-universe chronology. Other fandom efforts you may know me from are the Alternian Calendar and the Pesterlog HTML reference posts. I was also part of a now-defunct Psi & Suf askblog, have a promptsblog that is on indefinite hiatus, and have a blog dedicated to the OLOHverse, if any of those are things you are looking for. (I haven't written any fanfic in a while. It may still happen in the future. There's definitely original stuff coming.)

got sidetracked from writing current novel while jokingly trying to catalogue all the worst ways a functionally immortal background character could ditch her families through the ages and was like 'okay, I'll write a short story about it and get it out of my system'
jokingly title it in the fanfic 5+1 format and it got stuck that way so now it's six parts (actually seven with some setup)
just finished part one and it's 6500 words. which is a perfectly cromulent length for a short story. and there's going to be six more of them.
OTL.
#guerrilla writeblogging#this is also the one that inspired wailing over historical research#she's not even in the main story!! even implied!#why does this always happen.

not quite the same thing but this evoked childhood memories of going to the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane
GOMA has a... gallery? called the Watermall at its entrance. the above picture is the Watermall kitted out in an installation called Narcissus Garden by Yayoi Kusama. it was there in 2002 and I'm pretty sure I saw it on a class trip but I could be remembering a different installation. I remember visiting another time as a kid with low, sporadic lighting and stepping stones instead of full pathways. it was always very interactive as I remember it; I had to get over a child's apprehension about Touching The Art to skitter along the paths nervously.
anyway! your liminal space can exist, OP, and here is proof! thank you for the trip down memory lane.
i had a dream about a museum that had a river running through it, i visited it in while going on a canoe journey. it was analogous to those roadside tourist attractions.
made in krita and blender. i wonder if it's in some way pretentious of me to draw a museum filled entirely with art drawn by me.
#goma#technically it's at southbank not in Brisbane but nobody reading this is going to know where southbank is#hopefully this is in fact the thing I remember from childhood and I'm not mashing memories together :v

Tbh Im always kinda taken aback by the amount of genuine bile people have for unskilled or amateurish art. I think it's truly rare that something is bad enough to deserve scorn. In my mind that requires a hostile mean-spiritedness. It's too easy to find interesting things in poorly made art.

it's not a full sectional, but the L's legs can be split apart and reconfigured to make it a different L:
a real-life photo of the hobby nest + the L seam it can be split along (+ Biscuit).
alright, tumblr. I need help making a decision. this is my lounge room (not to scale, I must emphasise):
door on the left goes to balcony I never use, doors on the right go to the kitchen and the hallway to the rest of the apartment. box near the couch is a cat tree, other rectangles are shelving units.
I have a Hobby Nest in the couch for writing and crafts, but with this setup, I have to sit on my side and twist to do the crafts and watch TV. I want to buy a recliner and stick it roughly in front of the cat tree pointed at the TV in order to hobby more ergonomically. concerns are that this may make the lounge room too squishy and I don't need a recliner. opinions of my friend group are Divided. other factors: I'm reluctant to get rid of the couch because it pulls out into a bed, which has come in handy in the past.
#guerrilla lifeblogging#guerrilla catblogging#other suggestion to move cat tree in front of balcony door is intriguing; right now cat litter is there but this could be relocated

Acknowledging that trans men have needs and need protections that cis men don't isn't failing to recognise them as the men they are. It's actually a great way to meaningfully do so.
"Trans men are men" doesn't mean we should take trans men and put them in the "cis men"-box in our minds and activism. It means expanding our image/definition of what a man is to also include trans male experiences. Including all the extra needs and protections that necessarily involves.

went to The Living Tombstone concert tonight off the back of knowing three (3) of their songs and Spotify telling me the concert was happening in time to pick up second-hand tickets. it was certainly An Experience being the 0.1% over thirty, but it was nice to have a bunch of youths around being enthusiastic. pic not from me (too short) but from nice dude (very tall) in front of me who kindly agreed to snap a pic for me.
friend who I dragged along so I wouldn't be alone at The Nerd Band Show and I agree that it was a great show but we are very old and can't stand that long anymore, and being out after 10pm is An Effort. the band, of course, saved Discord for the encore, because obviously you gotta, but we could recognise the 'pleeeeeeease play the song and free me, I am old and frail, pleaasssseeee' prayers in each others' faces between songs. that we made it through despite the ravages of age is testament to it being a fun show.
#also they talked very openly about being neurodivergent and using music and fandom to connect with people#and it was like 'I'm on the spectrum-' 'WOOOOOOOOOOO'#which was very nice. target audience achieved.#guerrilla lifeblogging#the living tombstone

Reverse Mulan about a young man who disguises himself as a noblewoman and has to learn how to do passive-agressive politicking at dinner parties.
#ouuughghh prev tagged this 'mistborn' and I experienced a level of sheer covetousness I have never before experienced.#mistborn but with a trans narrative is something I Need.#Vin's disconnect from her gender and viewing it primarily through an analytical lens of the problems it causes her pre-glowup...#ooooogh that would hit different. deliver it straight to my veins.

He was as tall as he was tall, and his eyes were the color they were. To describe his hair one would say that he had some. His face had all the features you'd expect, and none of the ones you wouldn't. "There he is," people would often say of him, but only when he was there. And they were right.

how the fuck do the historical writers do it. nothing but awe for the people who can be historically accurate and tell a compelling story. I have spent the past two days going in circles on Wikipedia and reading adjacent resources and the history of Europe has taken me out. I can't cope with this and anyone who can is stronger than god. one day I will post this short story and someone with a special interest in 9th century Europe will leave a comment saying my depiction of dyes available in the Frankish Empire is inaccurate and they'll link to a fragment of a contemporary document as a source and I'll just have to be like: yeag... sorry 👍
#I COULD cop out with 'it's fantasy and the fantasy elements affected historical developments'#but it would be a cop-out. and we all know this.#guerrilla writeblogging#I'm sorry historical writers I will get out of the sandpit as soon as reasonably practical :(

the problem with rap is that men have no idea how big cup sizes are. in fairness it's probably easier to rhyme 'my shawty got them triple Ds' than 'my shawty got them Hs' but they definitely mean the latter.
#to say nothing of the international differences between sizes#triple D shouldn't exist. purely American monstrosity of a size. work off Euro sizes like people with big boobs by default have to.#due to the state of the market.#anyway there should be more trans masc rappers as they can truly understand the struggle thank you for listening to my ted talk

day 2 of full day meeting. I continue to fail to win friends and influence people in the room of people who are all always right but I have wrested ownership of action items I care about regardless. I am only in this role until next year and at this point I can taste the freedom.
I am going to throw my work laptop with enough force that it breaches our atmosphere and enters stable orbit as our second moon.
#I am not exempt from being a person in the room who is always right and I recognise this weakness#there is potentially a leadership position opening up in this space and I'm tossing up on whether to apply for it or not#on the one hand: more scope to enforce my Always Rightness and I do love being always right#on the other hand: more necessity of taking on and working with everyone's point of view to best serve them as a leader.#hm.#one day I will find a glorious role where it is Just Me doing it and I can control The Whole Thing#this definitely exists right. right?
