✦ Writeblr Intro 2.0 ✦

Hello! It's been half a year since my initial Writeblr Intro, I've just come back from a long break, and I've learned a lot more about Tumblr since making the first one, so I figured I should make a new intro!

✦ Less dedicated to—but still interested in!—drawing, animation, photography, and cinematography ✦ currently a digital arts major in college

✦ AuDHD and a grey lesbian (aka I'm leaning asexual) ✦ (my writing may or may not be a special interest)

✦ I have a whole bunch of other neurodivergencies besides AuDHD but I don't think y'all want me to get into all of them, haha. ✦ oh, and I say "haha" a lot. I apologize in advance.

✦ I think I'm hilarious and make jokes constantly

✦ I use a lot of emojis and tone tags to help convey tone. Please forgive me if it's annoying, it's to cope with my inability to communicate. /lh /hj

hello all! my first poetry book is officially for sale 🎉🎉💕💕

posting this for the last day of autism month: Explorations of an Autistic Mind; a collection of poems and personal essays by me!

Click here to purchase the EPUB and or PDF version

Explorations of an Autistic Mind is a collection of poems and short personal essays that explore my mind through the autistic lens. It includes 65 poems and 4 essays as well as an in-depth explanation as to how exactly my autistic experience influences the writings included.

I use the term 'exploration' because the collection delves into many aspects of my experience as an autistic person in this society. There is true joy and utter loss. These poems are vulnerable, jovial, and everything in between.

Please consider purchasing!

hi

I feel bad that I haven't posted anything in a month, so here's a preview of some of the character customization options from the text-based yandere dating sim I'm making called Darling Sim!!! It's still a very early work in progress so the end result might look different and possibly have more options, but the ones in the preview will definitely still be there! 💗

Also please know that I am new to programming, so don't bully me too much for how simple it is lol

My Writing:

✎ Sun and Shadow

Everything goes wrong for Freya Ula when she leaves her simple life as a fisherwoman to get engaged overseas. Her ship gets wrecked, she finds out her dad's been hiding secrets from her for her whole life, and, oh, she gets framed for a terrorist attack. Wait, WHAT!? After the city's greatest detective is attacked and disappears before she could consult with him, Frey has to enlist the help of his kid and her would-be fiancée to find out who framed her and clear her name. If only Crow was half as good a detective their dad was supposed to be.

Main characters: Freya, Crow, Daleira

✦ Urban-esque high fantasy ✦ purposely very tropey in places ✦ however, as always, I love throwing in curveballs. Wonder what's played straight and what I'm going to emotionally destroy you with. Definitely won't be Crow.

✦ Slow-burn romance between Frey and Crow ✦ immediate interest between Frey / Daleira ✦ oh, look, it's a love triangle? ✦ JOKE'S ON YOU, IT'LL ACTUALLY BE POLY ✦ it's just... going to take a while.

✦ Lesbians, lesbians everywhere ✦ though Crow is actually genderfluid and uses they/them for the first book ✦ despite barely having anything written I've already plotted a bit of book 2 ✦ I desperately need help.

✦ Unsurprisingly is a detective mystery with action mixed in ✦ I'm not typically a romance writer, I excel in action fantasy ✦ please have mercy on my soul

✦ Lots of magic, it's high fantasy + victorian aesthetic ✦ (aka "gaslamp fantasy" if you've heard of it) ✦ Frey's got sun-themed magic ✦ gasp, I know ✦ Crow's got shadow magic ✦ wonder why this sounds familiar ✦ Daleira's got, hm, well it's also shadowy! ✦ spoilers 😘

✦ About to be updated en-masse for a writing contest!!!

✎ The Arcane Rifts

Ghosts of past tragedies haunt the town of Kavo after decades of neglect. Fantastical creatures desiring nothing but fear and destruction hide in invisible tears in reality. Gangs and the police are at constant war with one another, there's a shapeshifting monster running amok, and the mayor's assistant suddenly wants a disabled orphan kicked to the streets. A year ago, Gene was discovered in the forest on the outskirts of town, half dead, amnesiac, and unable to even speak the local language. As he had nowhere to go, he was brought to the orphanage of Kavo for a place to stay. Now Caspar, the assistant of the mayor and the man who funds the orphanage, wants him kicked out. When Gene's left to the cold, cruel streets of Kavo on his own, he has to navigate through a town ravaged by decades of neglect and intrigue. Has the corruption truly been purged from the government? Why are godly forces active in Kavo, a small town in a backwater country? And most importantly--will Gene survive?

Main Characters: Gene, Tazin, Mislav, Ludmila, Rada ❧ Gene and Tazin for book 1 ❧ the other 3 start being MCs books 2 and 3 ❧ I guess Nikolai is also a MC tho

❧ Industrial-era rustic high fantasy ❧ mixes fantasy, action, horror, and mystery! ❧ oh helloooooo "ominous feychild" origin? ❧ very strong folkloric and traditional fantasy inspo ❧ except I mean "traditional fantasy" as in ❧ "we don't understand this magic stuff but we're used to it" ❧ not "travel the world adventures!"

❧ VERY involved story with strong themes of discrimination, poverty, exploitation, trauma, and the recovery from trauma ❧ each main and secondary character is one flavor of discriminated against or another in-universe ❧ obviously I try to write it respectfully, but you can't really write bigots being bigots "respectfully"

❧ Has two "main plots" going on simultaneously; technically three ❧ I periodically give the reader updated "character guides" ❧ like they get more recent plot info added kinda like a red-string board to keep you, the audience, up-to-date with info you might've otherwise missed ❧ I think it's really cool and people seem to enjoy it ❧ I know it seems like a lot but please give it a chance

❧ I've literally plotted out pretty much the entirety of the first and second books, and know most of how book 3 will go, yet there's very little out for the current version of the story ❧ part of that is because I'm paused on the 3rd draft

❧ There's lots of timeskips throughout the first two books, but they're mostly to age up the protagonists! Gene, the MC, starts the series at 7. I promise it's not a kid's story though.

❧ The "secondary MC", Nikolai, is the police chief investigating magical stuff going on at the same time. They tie in with the main story involving Gene, though won't appear to for a long while.

❧ The "golden child" series I love more than SaS; however it's on hiatus because I promised people to work on SaS first and SaS is more popular as a romance-focused story. :/ ❧ I would never be salty about that.

I missed International Women's Day! But really, are there women out there in a celebratory mood right now under this Trump sh*tshow? I'm a business woman. I'm an autistic woman. I'm a middle-aged woman. A clinically depressed woman. An EXHAUSTED woman. A woman stressing about what the future holds in a world where my rights are under attack & my ability to stay self employed is on much shakier ground than it was a year or two ago.

So, forgive me if it doesn't feel like a celebration. But I realized I never yet posted the photos that Jordan Price took of me last summer, during a moment I realized I missed wearing fairy wings & actually felt like taking some quick fairy photos at the park & thought I'd share, grey hairs and all! I had been in such a depressive slump, not feeling very confident, but I was actually okay with how I looked in them. There are quite a few more that I need to do some light editing to, but this giant tree stump amused me as it made me look more fairy sized.

Here's to all the women out there, especially us neurospicy ones, trying to beat the odds & carve a path out for ourselves in this chaotic life!

Okay so, I’m tempted to write more on my trans male inquisitor and do some prologue stuff first.

I first started Inquisition back in like… 2022?? Maybe 2023? Mainly because YouTube kept recommending me a video of the Iron Bull romance.

Honestly I know I’m a little late to the Dragon Age hype, and I keep telling myself it doesn’t matter especially since I’m planning on not entirely following canon lore, just smidgin some bits about Clan Lavellan.

Not only that but the backstory I had for my Lavellan has changed a lot.

Look at this neurodivergent idiot (totallyy not projecting slightly) he is also a single father to twins who I made as Rooks- I love them so much

Roblox Has A Problem

Hey everyone, sorry for the more serious post today, but I have an important issue I really need to talk about and bring attention to.

Recently when I was trying to upload one of my autistic pride designs to make a t-shirt on Roblox, I was sent a moderation warning saying this:

(And this was the image I uploaded btw):

Obviously I was annoyed and frustrated by this, so I contacted Roblox and sent an appeal message.

Today I received a response from Roblox Support saying this:

Does this action seem fair to you? Because it doesn't feel fair to me. I ranted to one of my autistic online friends about it after, where we discussed it in more detail and you can understand more of the context around why this is so messed up. (I got permission to share these screenshots.)

I know Roblox moderation has never been great, it's always had its issues. But as annoying as that is, in this case I feel like it's crossed a line. This isn't just about Roblox either, this is about how society views autism and the lack of autism education in general. I'm not just upset because I can't post something on Roblox, I'm upset because my voice as an autistic person is being silenced while other products on that platform are clearly mocking autism, and I'm trying to teach people about us. This is completely unjustified, and it sets a scary precedent when marginalized groups get censored for talking about their own experiences. Yes, Roblox is for all ages, and we should keep conversations appropriate, absolutely. But autistic people's existence, disability in general, is not inappropriate, kids should be learning about it. We don't need to discuss eugenics and hate crimes towards disabled people on Roblox, of course not, but I should be able to mention my identity without fear of being punished.

Basically, censoring the word autistic doesn't protect autistic people from hate, bullying, and discrimination, that is still happening regardless. What it does do is make it harder for us to fight back and stand up for ourselves, teach people about the realities of autism and normalize us as human beings. It's doing more harm than good, and that's what I hope Roblox can start to realize.

If you agree with me and want to make a difference, please reblog this and share it as many places as you can. We need to send a message to Roblox, and show them that silencing autistic voices is not ok. Obviously, be civil and respectful though, I just want to have a peaceful conversation about this problem, and hopefully Roblox will care enough to hear us out.

Available now on Kindle Vella!

The first 3 episodes are free. Please follow the story if you're interested! A bit more details below.

There's crude humor, heavy fucking language, violence, drama, romance, and tons of neat scifi stuff... Shit, what more could you want? *pats self on back*

There's a mysterious and hauntingly beautiful trans space witch, a hot and brooding "Emo Greek God" scientist, a cryptic and reclusive ancient alien race billions of years more advanced than everyone else, an ethereal being that lives outside of time and space, realistic autistic characters, and lots of talk about mental health.

****

Written by me an Autistic/ADHD human. Cheers if you remember this post from just over a year ago. I haven't stopped writing! This is a series that will eventually be a book (like it was supposed to be) but I find posting in this more digestible format pleasing. It pleases me. Yes, quite, indeed.
