Clears throat. Outstretches hand. Author support group.

I did it.

So, I wasn’t kidding when I said I would make an author support group. I’ve already got a pinned post to welcome those who want to join.

I don’t know what I’m doing tbh..

btw last week on jp twitter they were goncharov-ing a detective conan movie into existence lmao

it all started because of this twitter user pointing out that the Osaka Expo 2025 venue looks like a setting out of a detco movie (x)

then someone fixed the color, added "original work by gosho aoyama", and voila (x)

and then people just kept adding on to it, here's a few more:

they got teaser art posters (1) (2) (3)

a movie logo (x)

and a movie poster ofc (x)

btw if you were wondering wtf that weird blob creature is, it's Osaka Expo 2025's mascot:

oh yeah someone also made a whole ass movie trailer (x)

and end credits too but i can't upload 2 videos so here's the link (x)

someone even made an agasa quiz lmao (x)

someone also brainrotted so hard they managed to gather hattori, kaitou kid, amuro, and akai all in one movie (x)

anyway, we've cracked the code. we can explode any place just by adding "original work by gosho aoyama" (x) (x)

Calling any demographic of trans people “the weak link of the trans community” is transphobic. Period.

Winter has arrived…

Its coldness, unsettling stillness, and relentless rains have taken over. Last night was harsh, as the heavy rain flooded our humble tents, leaving behind nothing but cold and suffering.

My children, their small bodies can no longer endure this piercing cold. All I can do is hold them close, but even that is no longer enough to shield them from the cruelty of this weather. Our tiny tent, barely offering us shelter, stands less than 100 meters away from the sea. The crashing waves and roaring winds create a daily battle for us, amplifying the fear in my children during the darkness of the night.

This morning, we woke up to the same exhausting reality. I don’t know if this suffering will ever end or if it will repeat with every new sunrise. Sometimes I wonder: does tomorrow hold any hope for us, or is it just another chapter of pain?

These are not just words, but glinnmpses of the reality of my life and the suffering of my children, for which I can find no solution.

Rescued Writing Links!

When cleaning out the HEY, Writers! Pinterest I moved some links here. The internet has changed a LOT since I started collecting these, so some links may include outdated info. All were still active when I made this, but it's been in my drafts for a hot minute.

Protip! In Firefox, check to toggle reader view when reading these (mobile: the page icon in the url bar; desktop: same icon or hit F9). This removes popups, ads, screen clutter, and often has an audio option.

Survivors of Internet Decay Award!

These active sites featured most often in my collections so they get the top of the list.

i've gotten.. soo many wcif's & requests to upload elyse's bedroom or the cc links, and i'm not uploading her bedroom, because it's for my instagram story, and i don't want anyone else to have it lol, so i linked *every* single piece of cc in all of these pics. yes, it took a long fking time. but i hope everyones happy lol.

in the pics above, the little numbers on each cc is what is linked to the # on the google doc link! beware, there may be a few paywalled patreon links, but i tried my best to link all the paywalled stuff to a free link.. either on s4s or ts4 rebels (the vault). shh dont tell anyone!

anywayyyyy.. please dont request her bedroom to be put up for dl, like i said, it's personal! if anything is wrong w/ the links just lmk! and also, the few posters that aren't linked are because they're personal recolors of mine! that may be put up for dl soon.. wink wink.
