#enjoy!!!!!!!!!!

I know you’re a very famous author now but I will literally never be over it. I walked into a somewhat unfamiliar Barnes and Noble to pick up your book, wondered in what part of the store I would find it, and saw a sign beckoning me forward. (I wanted to preorder but my spring went up in actual smoke because time is fake.)

Other things!

Last year I was in the (terrible) security line at the airport, and the woman in front of me had a copy of One For My Enemy! I pointed and made a sound—quite possibly a word or two but who can say—and we both agreed we were happy to meet another fan. Masters of Death, which is what I had with me at the time, obviously holds a special place in my heart but One For My Enemy makes an argument for my favorite.

When I went into the bookstore to order The Atlas Complex the woman I spoke to said she loved the series and that you meant a lot to her.

Grow Your Own Optimist! got me out of a reading slump.

I guess I’m just throwing my thoughts at you, sorry. But! Thank you for continually being a source of joy in my life.

omg 😭 this really tickled me, first of all ("I pointed and made a sound" was really good narratively, what worldbuilding, what a stage!) and also I don't consider myself "very famous" in any meaningful way, but then again it's true that this is all statistically unlikely and probably a simulation I'll wake from at any moment

in any case, I'm really happy you told me these other thoughts as well; I really appreciate hearing about that interaction with the bookseller (🥹 the sentiment of my writing being meaningful to someone is sometimes less believable to me than the "fame," because one is a real emotional connection and the other is honestly just marketing resources and publisher money; yes, the latter was extremely difficult to get, such that I often forget how little I believed it would happen, but the former seems somehow even MORE impossible...?) (and now I'm just throwing my thoughts at you) and I'm really happy you enjoyed optimist! (! exclamation point)

it is really an honor to be a source of anything in your life. for the thing to be joy is a very real highlight in mine. here's to lots more joy together 🖤

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

the older i get and the closer i am to reaching 30, the more the people around me try to deny me my age. it’s a constant ‘oh you’re just turning 29 again teehee 🤭’ or ‘dont tell your SO that, he’ll leave you for a younger model 😉’ and i just???? hate it?????????

i spent my entire teenaged years fighting for my life. i crawled through the deepest pits of my depression to cling to the promise of a life beyond that pain. i was so convinced that i was going to die young, that i would never see the grace of my age starting with a 2, let alone 3.

so im going to turn 30, and there’s not a damn thing anyone can do to stop me from loving it.

Fun game for Pride Month:

When you're at a event, count how many people with mobility aids there are. If it seens low, think about why that might be. Count how many disabled bathrooms. Count how many unavoidable steps. Try and find one accessibility issue at the event and afterwards contact the organisers to ask them to fix it.

Many disabled queer people are left out of the Pride month celebrations due to accessibility issues, so if you're able to be there, you're already in a position to make it better.

Don't forget your disabled siblings this Pride!
