Well folks, the time has come. This blog has served me well, but I've had it since 2014 and, well, I'm not a teenager anymore. I want to use this site more, especially with... Other apps falling to shit. So I'm moving!

You can find my over at @aspynjaye for a semi-curated feed on my current interests, mostly TTRPGs, LARP, and Hermitcraft/The Life Series

I've also made an archive blog, @aspynjayearchive, purely for reblogging posts like I have here for the past few years. If you want to follow a blog like this one, that's the place to go

Both blogs are still brand new, and I'll be taking a few days to go through my Following list and my likes/drafts here before I fully jump ship. I don't intend to delete this account either, I just won't be active here anymore

This blog has served me well over the last decade, but it's time for something with a little less history behind it. Hope to see y'all over there <3

I'm not really much for face claims, but I keep looking anyway, and I found this woman, (though I cannot find who she is,) and she looks a lot more like the Frodo in my head than Elijah does. The only things I keep from him are the harshly bitten down nails and his little front tooth gap.

Also just keep in mind this is still not a one-to-one accurate image, just very close. Frodo's hair is not as nicely styled as her's, for one, and he has big front teeth.

Happy Pride Month, everyone! 🏳️‍🌈

I know we're living in scary times right now, especially under this administration. But even so, I'm not gonna be scared out of my queerness. I've been out as queer for a year & I'm not gonna stop now! 🌈

Like all with & before me, I will never be silenced & shamed for who I am. Even though I have more privilege as a non-sapphic queer woman accepted by her family, I will always fight tooth & nail to protect my community's rights!

No matter what anyone else says, we are all valid, we all matter, and we are all human. We're all in this together, no matter the circumstances. 🫂

Also, I wish everyone a happy first day of summer & a happy Caribbean-American Heritage Month!

Something something about Forever refusing to look at his own reflection, because he is scared of realizing how much he has changed

i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping

I spent a lot of time handcuffed and in a cage in high school, for a charity bit the grocery store I worked at would do

the bit was that I was "put in jail for having too big a heart" and customers could donate to my bail to get me out (and the money would go to a children's hospital or something)

now. I was very clearly a teenaged employee handcuffed inside a large cage. and I would honestly tell people that I had been in there for hours. and people would say, that's terrible! that's awful! and I would show them my wrists red from the tight handcuffs, and say but I'm sooooooo close to making bail.

and then they would dump some cash in the basket, I'd thank them, and they'd walk away.

and every so often, one of the managers would come by and collect some of the cash, so I could keep being soooooo close to making bail.

I was very good with this bit. Parents with small kids would pay $5-10 if I told their children I had been placed in jail for not cleaning my room/doing my homework, etc. For people in their 20s, I'd threaten that I was very bad at playing the harmonica, but I WOULD play it and we'd all suffer unless they paid me. and for the most amount of money, older men in suits would almost always pay $20s if I avoided eye contact and stammered a lot.

eventually, the managers started to feel bad because I was in the cage so fucking long and often, that I'd need someone to brace me when I got out because I'd have no feeling in my legs. wobbling like a newborn giraffe.

but I would also rake in at LEAST $100 an hour in charity.

so they were like, hey champ. can we, uh, give you a pillow to sit on. in the cage. would you like a pillow so you're not just sitting on a cold metal slab. can we give you a pillow.

and I had to explain to them that if they gave me a pillow, people would think I was more comfortable, so they wouldn't feel as bad, so I'd bring in less money.

the compromise was that they'd bring me a nice coffee every couple hours, which I would have to try to block with my body from the customers.

all this money went to charity. that's what the money was for. it's what was on the sign. but how much they were willing to pay was very contingent on how comfortable I looked, never mind the fact that I was still a teenaged employee handcuffed inside a cage.

and out of the dozens of shifts I did this on, not ONCE did ANYONE say, hey kid I'm going to go talk to your manager because what the fuck is going on here. they would just drop money in the basket, and I'd thank them and sip from my secret drink.

I actually had people get MAD at me that I told them I was far away from bail, they donated like $15, and then 20 minutes I got let out because my shift ended.

again. the money was for charity. it was on the sign that was very clearly placed on the upper half of my cage.

so yeah. even when people think they mean well. people can be really, really fucking stupid.
