Can you give me writing tips kitty? And how to attract readers 🙏🏾

Of course!! This is just whatever came off the top of my head but I’m happy to share more if asked :]

Writing Tips

I’ve taken two years of Creative Writing in highschool, so I’m calling back from whatever I remember.

One of the main things I’ve been trying to do recently is lack filler words. “Was, has, had, were, are, could, etc”. Using these words often will make your writing seem less exquisite than it is, and it can also contribute to the creation of run-on sentences.

Use grammarly. It’s really great and lives up to the hype :]

Writing exercises. They work! Theres different kinds, ranging from simply writing whatever you want, to writing what you don’t want. It will expand your horizons and dip your toes in uncomfy waters that you should be uncomfy in.

Another writing exercise that we did was different styles of writing. Poetry, instructions, descriptions, and even mimicking authors’ writing styles to understand how they write like they do.

A thesaurus is a good investment, not saying you have to buy one, but grammarly has one built in. You can switch out certain words to make them sound more well-thought out and better spoken.

Rereading your work, revising and editing is very important. You will catch your mistakes, and add in words and sentences to accentuate your text.

Another pair of eyes can also help with this, and will also give you an unbiased view of how well your writing flows, as well as any errors you may have missed.

Write convos how you would speak. Dont make it stiff like how the characters are taking, but rather if you were in the conversation yourself. Dont be afraid to add in the spotted “‘Uh, ‘but’, stutters, pauses, and even using ‘voice’ in words.

How to attract readers

Comedy sells! People will always love a quick laugh, no matter what it is. Could be a quote post or even just a shitpost that will take off overnight. Either way, it will guide people to your blog.

Know what people like. Post polls, pay attention to notes and reblogs, and see what’s popular on others’ blogs. Certain audiences may like short headcanons, and others may like long paragraphs, and some will even like full stories!

Play into the algorithm with tags. Tag your heart out, because ultimately this is your blog’s main income for new readers!

Think about what you would type if you’re searching for a certain something. “Creepypasta x reader”, “[Character] x reader”, “Creepypasta headcanons”, “platonic”, “yandere x reader” and the like. You won’t be able to control who reblogs your posts, but you’ll be able to plop your post right into the laps of those who ask for it!

Welcome to tumblr now what...

Hi, I wrote this up for my cousin because she’s never used any platform, but since a lot of twitter users are coming to tumblr, I thought I would share as someone that has been here... way too long. This blog might only be a year old, but i lived through tumblarity. both times. ugh. 

cause i will use this interchangeably and forget to clarify, tumblr dash (short for dashboard) is more or less the same as twitter feed. 

likes - these are a thumbs up. A nice little ‘hey this post is cool!’ or ‘i agree with this post.’ users can elect in settings to have their likes visibly on their page, meaning when you go to their actual tumblr, theres a link to liked posts. however, i have always disabled this in the same vein that none of you will ever see my ao3 history. if you get a like, you’ll get notified, but that’s all it really does in the grand scheme of things. 

reblogs - if theres a post you want to share, reblog it.  reblogging it puts it on the dash (feed) of anyone that follows you. tumblr does have a setting to see popular posts, ‘in your orbit,’ or ‘for you’ as in things it thinks you may like.  it has a setting for recommended posts into your feed. i, and mostly everyone i know, disable these features and rely solely on their dash.  so assume if you’re reblogging this post, you’re sharing it to make sure the people that follow you also see it. if no one reblogs this post, then only the 150 people that follow me will see it and it will die. which is totally cool. im rambling all over this shit and forgot what capital letters are. its probably half wrong anyways. 

some people will say always reblog instead of like. i think its give or take. it depends on what you like, what you want to share, you’re weird taste in shit you want people to know about and not know. if you reblog, you will make sure more people see something wonderful and its a really lovely and free way to help writers, artists, etc. spread their art.

commenting on a reblog - its not necessary.  I probably do it once in a blue moon these days.  adding a comment in your reblog is like jumping into the conversation. usually i reserve this for things that are important and want others to build on as well. or continue the shitpost cause i like to think im funny sometimes. if its something like my bullshit commentary that really does not apply to anything in the post or i dont want spread on everyone’s dash as they go on to reblog it, i write it in the tags. for example, please reblog this and add anything i missed that helps you navigate tumblr. write in the tag if you think its bullshit and i should delete. 

replies - replies were made because when they didn’t exist, people would have ‘dash conversations’ by reblogging one post over and over and over and over again.  it would be a post of 50+ posts of two people having a conversation and about things like is it red or blood orange.  this was especially awful in rp when sometimes posts would only be a few sentences asking ‘hey whats up how are you.’ so use a reply if you want to tell the original poster something, but youre not adding onto the post.  a good reply to this post would be a ‘thanks for posting this’ but a good reblog with a comment would be ‘i agree, but also you forgot this important bit!’ 

something different than twitter (i think???) - your replies do not just show up on someone’s dash. they have to click the little word bubble on the post to read them. 

tagging - tagging someone with an @ will give them a notification that you mentioned them in your post.  you can also tag in replies.  you don’t need to tag the original poster in a reply because they will get a notif that says ‘___ replied to your post.’ my brain is fuzzy here, but i believe if you put a reply on a post that is a reblog, both the current poster/reblogger and the original poster will get notifs. i only say this cause some people get annoyed by too much tagging, but as someone that doesnt give a shit, just always tag me. tumblr eats shit or doesnt work sometimes, so just blow up my notifs. 

asks/submit - some people enable you to ask or submit posts.  when they answer the ask or approve the submission, it will end up as a post on their dash.  if the ask is not anon, they can also reply privately. a lot of people do not allow anons these days because while tumblr is one of the better social medias ive encountered, there are still some assholes that like to send hate anons. and i will say this for the people skimming this - ASKS GET EATEN. aka they disappear from asks boxes or don’t even show up. if someone says they didn’t get it, there’s probably like an 80% chance they are not lying. there’s a 20% chance they are and don’t want to answer it but like that’s their choice too. 

messaging - for the new kids, this is DMing. for the cool kids in back, this feature was enabled cause aol took aim away from us. this caused a huge panic of how do we privately talk to our friends since while replies are okay for convos, anyone can see them and tbh can get cumbersome for longer communication.  i use this feature a lot to send my friends posts that i need to make sure they see.  maybe its not my sort of content id reblog, but i know for a sure thing they will love it, so im passing it along for them to reblog, laugh at, tell me im an asshole cause its a meme making fun of them, etc. 

ask games - sometimes people reblog posts that say SEND ME A NUMBER and theres a list of numbered questions.  as i grew up here in roleplay, i was taught it was good tumblr etiquette to always send numbers to the person you reblogged from. I was also taught just to send numbers if you see them cause you’re cultivating friendships here and maybe you don’t know the person, but TRUST ME, they will love and appreciate you took the time to get to know them just a little. its not hard to send 1-5 and then fuck off but it will give them something fun to do and maybe make their entire day so.. send the numbers. 

WHAT YOU SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO: who interacts with your posts a lot. do you see the same username liking your things? does the person reply a lot. FOLLOW THEM! reply to their posts! fangirl from afar and send a shy ask saying hi i love you. propose on the dash.  answer their questions. become FRIENDS. we’re all the weird kids here so don’t worry, we love you already. 

WHAT NOT TO DO: NEVER STEAL POSTS OR CONTENT. this means, you see a pretty piece of art- reblog it. do not right click, copy link to image, and make your own post.  love a passage someone wrote? see a HILARIOUS joke? do not copy and paste it into your own post.  If you feel in someway you NEED to do this, contact the original poster, ask permission and how they want to be credited.  you might have to link to their tumblr, you might have to link to their tumblr, ig, ao3, website, mom’s best friends snapchat, whatever... you listen to how they want to be credited and respect it. and if they say no? go reblog it and sit down. this is the same how you would never copy and paste someone’s tweet and say it as your own. or would you???? is that a thing??? maybe i shouldn’t be helping you come here... 

ALSO, JUST LIKE AO3, NOTES MEAN NOTHING. a lot of notes does not mean its a great post. Something can have 500 notes and its two friends shitposting ‘hi’ back and forth in the replies 250 times each.  and yes, this has happened before and will happen again because this is a hellscape. 

crabs/april fools/tumblarity/fonts and colors/xkit - you know how in YOU they have those like seven totems of living in LA? same concept except when you understand it all, you’re cursed to live here forever. you’re welcome. 

--- --- --- 

please expand, add to this, tell me im wrong, tell me to get off tiktok cause i need to stop yelling at children to let me love my favorite ships idc what canon says.  

the good news is, if you think you’re doing it wrong, then youre using tumblr right.  people might say don’t use it like a diary, but you bet ill write a long ass post venting about my depression and/or that my sock has a hole in the toe.  people say posts have to have content and length... brevity is the soul of wit or whatever and i love a good shitpost and i will reblog a post that is legit ‘wish i could pet a dog today.’

thank you @deathclassic for the tag <3

i cant put a read more on tumblr ipad what the fuck

1. Do you post on Ao3? If so, how many works do you have on AO3? If not, where do you post?

i dont post art there, but i do post fic.

2. What is your total art count?

I have been drawing digitally since I was 8 (traditionally even longer), it's well into the thousands. Maybe even tens of thousands.

3. What are your top 5 pieces by likes/kudos?

I have no idea, I just know my most liked piece is a tie between a P5 valentines day comic and a really old Buzzfeed Unsolved shitpost.

4. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I try, but I'm not great at it. ADHD brain.

5. What is your current fandom, and what was the first fandom you drew for?

I'm all over the fucking place rn, mostly Star Wars, Scott the Woz, Umbrella Academy, Adventure Time. My first was Sonic the Hedgehog. :)

6. Have you ever received hate on any art?

Bestie I had THREE separate hate accounts dedicated to me on instagram back in the day.

7. What’s a fandom/ship you haven’t drawn for yet but want to?

Stonathan from Stranger Things, do more Adventure Time stuff, uhhhhhh,,, honestly idk.

8. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

Shuake/Akeshu.

9. Do you draw outside of fandom?

Not as much as I'd like, but I'm working on an original horror graphic novel so.

10. What’s the an art piece you’ve drawn that came out completely differently than you expected?

Hmmmmm. This one changed like eight times.

11. Do you draw smut?

Not as often now, but sometimes.

12. Have you ever had any of your art stolen or copied?

A lot more in the past, not so much nowadays. I don't mind tracing or reposting anyway, so I don't really keep track.

13. Have you ever collaborated on a piece?

A long long time ago!

14. What’s an idea you have that you have yet to draw?

I have about 636372 STW ideas rattling in my skull right now.

15. What are your drawing strengths?

Honestly? I don't think I have many. I dislike my art a lot and think I struggle far too much. I guess I'm okay with hands, if I HAD to pick.

16. What are your drawing weaknesses?

Faces, perspective, light source, legs, proportions, fluidity, environments, consistency, line weight.

17. What’s your favorite art piece you’ve drawn?

This is the only thing I think I've drawn in the past 2 years that I didn't just like but loved.

18. What is one thing you’d like to tell people about your art that they might not know?

I don't know what I'm doing, ever. I went to college for this and really I'm still just winging it.

19. What inspires or motivates you to create for fandom?

As fucked up as you may see this, honestly, a big reason is I like the attention. I like interacting with people who find something in my work, it's nice and I like the validation, sue me.

20. And finally, can you describe your process a little? Do you have a favourite place to draw? Do you play something in the background? Do you do research or just go for it? Give us a little insight:

I like to draw on the couch, or in bed. I used to draw in the most uncomfortable position ever, which was on my fucking stomach with a pillow under my jaw. Pre-iPad, I drew at my desk with my Wacom Bamboo tablet. And it depends! Sometimes I'll listen to music, other times I'll put on a YouTube essay or something. Beforehand, I work out a few thumbnails, then open Safari or Pinterest for references. :P

If you're an artist, feel free to do this if you'd like!

sister,

so it's coming up on a full year since the last time we spoke. it was over text about a post i shared on my facebook, a petty post albeit but it got your attention anyway. i shared a post of defining what a sister is and i tagged my two best friends in it. one of those friends i've been friends with for 21 years this year and the other 17. i've known them longer than i haven't and frankly i dont know where id be without them. you texted me saying that you had been thinking about me and sometimes you look at my facebook when you're missing me, and this time you saw a post that pulled on your heartstrings. a heart i'm not so sure you have anymore if i was to be honest. i tagged my best friends in it and said they were my only sisters and you texted me over it. you asked if that was how i felt and i told you it was. i mean if it wasn't i wouldn't have shared it. i may shitpost a lot but everything i share and post is a representation of me in some way, you know that. looking back at the texts i see now how short of a conversation it really was, ten texts in total. it's funny you know, when you first texted me you started the text out saying you were wanting my opinion on some of your wedding things. i think that really goes to show how you never take me seriously and you never have. i think that's the problem with you and mom if i'm honest, you still both see me as some angsty emo 15 year old, and i'm not, i'm an adult. i will use my voice to speak up for myself, after all i had to learn how to protect myself really early on in life. you go on to ask me about the post in that first text, to which i replied saying that as far as i was concerned that it's her wedding that she didn't want me to be apart of from the beginning. i tell you that yes i do agree that they're the only people i consider my sisters because they've been there for me like a sister is. both of them know and understand me better than anyone apart of my fiancé. id like to think that she also knew me that well or at least did but clearly doesn't anymore and i don't know her as well as i thought either. isn't it funny how you can talk to someone literally everyday and you still don't know them? i told you the night that we got into this big fight i wasn't going to be in your wedding and i made it VERY cleat by also leaving all of the wedding related group chats; yet you still say in your next text that you did want me in your wedding and you'd still like for me to be, but after this you don't think i should be. it all comes back to the fact that you never listen to me or take me seriously. you tell me that you still want me there and you asked for my address so you could send a invitation. you continue and tell me that you wanted time to figure everything out and process your feelings. you say you still haven't fully figured them out but you do know that you miss me. at this point i'm filled with frustration and anger and overall feeling so fucking hurt. it just continues this feeling i've had for my whole life. the feeling that i am underwater and i am screaming and shouting for someone to hear me, to listen to my words. i cant ever catch my breath and my words go unheard and unnoticed, after all i was to be seen not heard and even then, i was to be seen rarely. i reluctantly reply to your text because i know that you're not going to stop until we finish this conversation which, i know is going to go absolutely nowhere. i reply and give you my address because who knows maybe ill turn up at the wedding and it'll be like a movie where i'm the villain, as i always am and, ill stand up and object to the wedding. mom stands up and jerks me out of the wedding and its a whole scene. i know that wont happen though because as much as i would love to be that bitch, i couldn't do that to you. i continue to tell you that i was glad that you took your time seeing as how you always think of yourself and never consider anyone else's feelings.

i tell you to send the invitation but to not hold your breath on an RSVP from me. i didn't know then why you bothered to reach out to me or why you say you miss me, especially because the last time we spoke you flew off the handle. i will say i know i also didn't keep my cool but i tried so damn hard not to explode. i have had to try my whole goddamn life to be sure i don't just explode with anger at the slightest inconvenience. at least not to be the first one to go off because if i was well, it's what everyone ever expects of me. you were always the 'left brain' and me the 'right'. you used logic and strategy where i was the creative and emotional side. i was the heart and you were the brain. everyone just expects me to be overly emotional and to constantly overreact to everything. looking back i more often than not wasn't overreacting just expressing it in a ineffective way. during this entire fight i tried my very very best to keep a grip on my emotions and my words. you replied to my text saying that yes you were putting yourself first with the tone and implication that you've never put yourself first. you then thank me for giving you my address, i scoff. you tell me that i maybe right that you don't miss me but rather the connection we had, but you're not sure. i tell you how putting yourself first and just being plain selfish are two entirely different things and unfortunately you're weren't leaning towards the latter. i continue by telling you how you've refused the whole time to see anything from any other perspective and you've lacked any kind of empathy. i had been starting to put myself first through 2021 and 2022 yet i was still empathetic. i tell you to just do what's best for you that the next time you reach out i'm not guaranteeing ill look at the message. you reply with the most confusing message you had sent so far. you used my words that i had been telling you over the last month anytime we had spoke, well lets call it what it is fought. it always started out civil enough until one of said something that inevitably caused the other to blow up. i will say that's the one sisterly thing you've always done, pushed my buttons because, like a sister you knew all of them; as did i. you tell me that you don't think you can help me if that's what i want from you. honestly i don't know what you're talking about because never once had i said i wanted anything from you other than for you to let me have my peace. you continue to say that you don't think i was empathetic to you at all and that i seemed more hostile than anything. at this point i could've burned down a building with how i was going to explode. honestly looking back with almost a years worth of growth, i'm just as angry now as i was then. i am so goddamn sick of always being painted as the villain or the bad guy just because i speak my mind and i express my feelings. i mean for fucks sake it's the whole thing i was in therapy for; to learn how to express my emotions in a healthy way. rather than harming myself and my body, i should express my thoughts and emotions with words. you continue to take my words and use them against me saying and i quote "but, like we've said over and over, i don't think there is a solution for this." see the thing is sissy, i had been telling you that since november of 2021 when this whole thing started. i reply with the last thing said between us since then. i tell you that i think it all could've been avoided had you been empathetic from the beginning but it is what it is at this point. i told you i was tired of getting a text from you every few weeks like an ex that hits you with the "i miss you. we should try this again." and that was that.

so now it's almost a full year later since that conversation and it still lights my skin ablaze with anger and hurt. see the thing i think that hurts me the most is that prior to this conversation we had a phone call about a week before thanksgiving trying to come to some kind of conclusion. i called you when i left work that night and we talked while i drove. it was raining that night and i was driving moms car because i was trying to get the insurance figured out from the guy who hit me a month prior in september. i was driving from the next town over to my future in-laws house. you were aware of that so you knew id be driving for about 45 minuets and you were aware of the conditions and you knew that i wouldn't be able to get emotional while we spoke. the entire time we were on the phone your then fiancé, now husband was there and would butt in every now and then. i didn't say anything even though it pissed me off that i couldn't just talk to you since this was between us. i will say thought as to how telling it is about your priorities and your husbands true colors. i mean all of this started because he got his feelings hurt and nobody decided to tell me until a year or so later so all i could do was apologize and promise to be better going forward. instead that wasn't enough for either of y'all. it's like you wanted me to go back in time and completely undo everything but, we both know thats impossible. i get to my fiancé's parents house and i then sit in moms car in the drive was for about thirty more minuets and my fiancé is stood outside of the car listening in but not speaking, unlike yours. it was during this point in the conversation that you said something that still to this day bothers me. you tell me that we don't really know one another anymore that we hadn't lived together in years. i scoff and remind you that we may not have been living together but we have spoke every single day for the last year. on top of that we never lost contact or anything so even when it wasn't a steady flow of conversation everyday we still spoke often enough that you knew me. i was always open and honest with you about things after all, you had been the person i went to for about anything for the longest time. i guess that was just one-sided then.

i have never really been open and honest about any kind of my feelings. i've always repressed, bottles up, and suppressed any of my emotions or feelings. i mean thats the whole reason i spent years of my life either cutting my wrists and thighs, or starving myself then throwing up whatever i ate. i hated myself and i felt so alone that honestly there was no point for me to be around anyway, i mean nobody wanted to hear a peep from me no less see me. that being said i have tried harder than ever the last almost five years to not bottle everything up. the reason? i finally have a person in my life that actually gives a fuck about me. i don't feel like you're the only person i could turn to about my demons. with that also came the fact that i was working on my communication skills as well as how to properly process my feelings. i still spoke with you frequently through out those times, well up until the last two, which means you've seen my progress. my point is sissy, you knew me. you knew me better than even my partner, after all you had watched my grow and change and, you were present for all of it. to know that you weren't comfortable with me like i was with you honestly still hurts. i considered you my best friend as well as my sister.

i may have been the person to be hurt directly by your words and actions, but you fail to see the other person you hurt too. my partner also loved you like you were their sister. you had been there for our whole relationship. we all hung out the three of us, often the four of us when your husband, then fiancé, could tag along. we played D&D together, went to conventions together, we both were there when your husband proposed. you and your husband were the only two people i had there when i proposed to my fiancé. i shared that very intimate moment with you and your husband. only to later find out that when my partner looked up at you two when i was on one knee, you and your husband looked like you didn't want to be there. you and your husband spent the entire night bickering and being passive aggressive towards one another. when i asked you about it, the reason that you guys were going back and fourth was because you hadn't had sex with your partner. you didn't want to nor did you have the time and he was unhappy about it. i mean it's not entirely my business but i mean if there was ever a red flag, it was that. all this to say that you also hurt my fiancé when this all happened. they told me months after the last text conversation we had, that they finally felt like they had a sister; and much like their brother, they were ripped away.

i do hope you think or me and i hope that you regret the things you said. i hope it eats at you inside. i hope on your wedding day that you still felt a tinge of grief. i know i do. every single day i grieve the death of people who aren't dead and, it all started with you. i miss you everyday but i know it's not you i miss. i miss the fun times we had and the connection we had, to put it like you. if you ever find this just know i think the blame for all of this is 50/50 but, i can never forgive you. you hurt more than me and i won't let someone near them that can hurt them.

-sincerely, your annoying younger sibling.

Cove Holden Headcanons that I Made Up

hed get into flower crowns, like REALLY into flower crowns one day after seeing mc making them one time, so he learns how to make them and will want to make matching flower crowns for mc and himself whenever the opportunity comes up

if the mc owns sundresses cove would ask if he can wear them sometimes. it takes some getting used to but he ultimately really enjoys the fit of sundresses and how soft and flowy the fabric is. hed jump and twirl around a lot just to watch the fabric move with him

hed try high heels to go along with the sundress(es) exactly one time before deciding that theyre too awkward and uncomfortable and make hin feel too much like a baby giraffe. after that hed just wear like a cute sandal or something

he wouldnt have a large social media presence probably, just messenger and instagram and thats it for the most part

hed would however have a lifestyle type blog where he posts about swimming and surfing and all his other hobbies and things like that and i think thatd end up accidentally doing really well. if he dates mc hed probably post a couple (hundred) entries on his blog all about how much he loves them

hed be reallly good at taking pictures. like INSANELY good. itd prolly be the main reason why his blog would do so well. people would suggest he becomes a photographer but thats not rlly something he wants to do as a job

that being said he is HOPELESS at taking selfies. EVERY single one of his selfies is at your average dad selfie angle and he looks like this every time

hed make a frienship bracelet for all of his closest friends (including mc of course) featuring his and their favorite colors

hed have a matching phone lock and home screen with mc. yanno like one of those where its 1 picture when you line the phones up next to each other

hed use some emojis but never in the expected or popular way someone would use emojis, hed just kind of assign his own meanings to the emojis he uses the most based on vibes. anyone who isnt close to cove would need to ask mc or his family or his closest friends for the unofficial cove emoji thesaurus

tagged by the cutest babes @jaehyukkies @gimbapchefs @taesjpg @joenns @honsool @taehyungq @himbojin @jiminswn & @kimtaegis  mwah! ✨✨

1. Why did you choose your url?

namjoon bought a duck mold, ventured out into a snowy day in winter, and gave me the greatest tweet i have ever seen

2. Any sideblogs? If you have them name them and why you have them

the day i gain the ability to wrangle more than one blog ill let yall know

3. How long have you’ve been on tumblr?

*starts calculating time furiously and almost burns out her single braincell* ive been here since like freshman year high school.....so............2010? 2011? ive deleted and restarted like 3 times tho so.........also you can calculate my exact age now (as if I dont have my age on my carrd aiowgjiorajgo)

4. Do you have a queue tag?

no we dont tag we just chaos in this house *finger guns*

5. Why did you start your blog in the first place?

i took a break from tumblr and kpop and then decided I wanted to make a bts blog out of the blue

6. Why did you choose your icon?

i drew all these tiny snow ducks i might as well capitalize on them yknow? really embrace my duck persona (Kim Namjoon witness the person you have made me)

7. Why did you choose your header?

honestly my entire blog brand at this point can be narrowed down to the hour ish (probably) joon spent wrangling snow into duck molds, placing them together for the twt, and captioning them ducktan sonyeondan (im on the look out for new ideas im ready for a change lmk if you have ideas 🥰)

8. What’s your post with the most notes?

i think its this post?? of the babies on rollerblades from that one iconic dynamite stage. and on that note tumblr should be able to let me filter based on note count instead of forcing me to rely one my shoddy terrible no good math skills. asking me to compare numbers bigger than 0? despicable. 

9. How many mutuals do you have?

absolutely no fucking clue 🥰🥰🥰 i do love them to the moon (Kim Seokjin) and back tho!!!!

10. How many followers do you have?

ngl its still wild for me that even one of yall follow me thank you 🥺🥺🥺 its a great honor that you have bestowed upon me

11. How many people do you follow?

303 bc I like it when numbers are palindromes and also bc im bad at checking new blogs

12. Have you ever made a shitpost?

would like you to direct you to my #shirley you cant be serious.txt tag

13. How often do you use tumblr each day?

i try my best to “clean out” my blog (reply to my dms/askbbox, check out my mentions, scroll for new content i may have missed etc.) in the mornings and evenings when i have the time. ive been kinda bad at this lately bc its been hectic here in shirley headquarters but ill get to everyone soon I promise!! (this sounds like bad. its not!!! its just that leaving things stresses me out? like how i like replying to texts as soon as i see them or reply emails as fast as i can. ‘unresolved’ correspondence feels rude.)

14. Did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? Who won?

no im the type to unfollow/block/ignore if someone did or said something i dont agree with without a word

15. How do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?

i get the need for those signal boost posts and promulgating important information but (and this is going to sound selfish) tumblr is my destress zone. i go here when the world is being overwhelming and terrible. i certainly read and educate myself as much as my mental health will let me, and i try my best to promote information and donate whenever i can, but i feel like social media has caused some people here to be too into canceling, managing, and being performative in their ‘wokeness.’ like you HAVE to have a blackout pic on instagram and you HAVE to reblog all these posts and you HAVE to immediately cancel everyone who has ever made a mistake EVER with no nuance or context (or dare i say......humanity). like fighting for human rights and speaking up again racism and bringing attention to societal problems is just a checklist to go down instead of being things you should understand and try to improve? like being ‘unproblematic’ starts and ends with mindlessly reblogging ‘woke’ content. idk sorry for going on a rant. going back to your regularly scheduled lighthearted content in 3...2...1

16. Do you like tag games?

ABSOLUTELY TAG ME IN EVERYTHING PLS AND THANK MWAH

17. Do you like ask games?

ofc!!! i used to do a lot of ask games back in the day but work and the pixel art ive been working on has been eating up all my extra time (and i always feel bad if I leave asks unanswered for too long see: q. 13) i do have that clover moots post saved for when my mental health is up and i have the time to tho!!!! 

18. Which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

ngl the idea of being tumblr famous is hilarious to me bc it usually just the same 10 moots who share a braincell bouncing posts back and forth each other, but i do think all my moots are superstars that even class o super giants millions of millions of miles away are turning green w envy 🥰🥰🥰

19. Do I have a crush on a mutual?

i have a confession i have to make........i have a big phat standing crush on all my moots........its really embarassing............thats its bigger than even tae’s tush or joon’s tits..................pls let me down gently if you dont feel the same................

— 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊 𝐎𝐅 𝐔𝐒: 𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

₁. CHAPTER ONE: gratitude

first of all, i would really like to express my gratitude to everyone !!! i’m just a kid who likes writing and i never expected to gain a following anywhere because compared to others, my writing isn’t anything special. despite that, more than a hundred people put their faith in me and believed that i could improve and do better. that, or they just find my shitposting funny :’] jokes aside, i’m really grateful for all the people who have reblogged my stories and wrote cute notes in the tags, or who just reblog them and say nothing, or maybe just leave a like. every time i receive a notification, the amount of joy i feel is just...indescribable. so, to everyone who has once contributed to my happiness: thank you. i hope i made you happy with my writing as well :)

₂. CHAPTER TWO: playing cupid

in which i pretend to be cupid and match you with your haikyuu!! soulmate !!

𝐑𝐔𝐋𝐄𝐒:

leave an ask ! tell me some fun facts about yourself ! what kind of sweets do you enjoy? do you prefer sweet or savory? what’s your favorite thing about a person? do you notice their eyes first or the way they speak? what are your hobbies? let us get to know you !! (ships are only open for haikyuu!! :<)

𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐒:

PLEASE refrain from leaving ship requests that center around physical appearance, zodiacs, and mbti’s !!! love is more than just physical attraction !!! (and also i can’t match zodiacs and mbti’s </3) you don’t have to be a follower of mine to participate, just promise that if you do leave a ship ask, you’ll follow me, okay? (that makes me sound so desperate i’m so sorry)

₃. CHAPTER THREE: love letters

this section is a little more personal :’) i’ve expressed my thanks to my followers, so now let me say thank you to my moots and people who just mean a lot to me on this website :’)

firstly, i would like to thank @lovingtobio for being one of the best moots ever??? 

dear lili, i never thought i’d meet my soulmate but ig tumblr’s just great at matching people up :’) i like to believe that, in a past life, you and i were the same person. we share so much in common that the only plausible explanation would be that our souls were stripped from each other and we landed in different bodies, separated by the great big sea. except, you got all the guts and the brains </3 lili, i love you so much that it hurts and i think about you every day, even if sometimes i forget to respond to your messages because i was half-awake in the bathroom when i read it. you mean so much to me and i love you <3

also, to chel @kitazura​ 

dear chel, we’ve never spoken privately before because you’re too cool and that scares me </3 only I can be the cool one around here >:(( jkjk pls don’t hit me with your toothbrush </3 even though we’ve only interacted through asks and tags and all that jazz, you mean a lot to me !!! you make up 1/3 of the three musketeers so obviously i love you and i’d challenge anyone to a sword battle for you !!! everytime you reblog one of my posts i get all giddy becus Omg the coolest kid in town just reblogged something i posted maybe I’M cool now too </3 anyways i love you, i love your aesthetic, i love your music taste, i love your sexy brain, i love your toothbrush, and i love chel. the end.

AND FINALLY, to @juhni027​

may i present to everyone, my husband, johhny, whose identity was unfortunately stolen by johnny suh from nct </3 jk if an nctzen sees that, pls dont come for me, i WILL cry <33 anyways hi johnny ur asleep rn cos u have the sleep schedule of a grandpa but ur MY grandpa and thats why ur the best :DD i hate u with every fiber of my being and if i could, id replace u with changbin and booseoksoon but ig im stuck with u and thats ok. thanks for kidnapping me back in 2nd grade and basically making me ur bitch </3 thanks for reading all my fics and telling me they arent complete garbage and also giving me the will to live and just ?? helping me become me?? it sounds sappy, but without u, i wouldnt be who i am today because we all know how shy i used to be </3 anyways suck my left toe i hope u swallow ur peppa pig toothbrush

and...that just about ends my list LMAO jkjk </3 i have so many moots who are so lovely and wonderful and i just love them all !!! unfortunately i’ve only either had short interactions with them or i’ve never spoken to them at all, but please know that i love and appreciate you as well !!! i just get awkward with new people because i don’t know if i can match their energy, so sorry 🥺👉👈 i love you all tho and i will profess my love for any and all of you if you asked me to !!! i’ll even shout it in the middle of a grocery aisle !!!

EPILEPTICON 2019 GIVEAWAY

I mentioned in my EpileptiCon 2019 announcement post that I would provide incentive to participate in the festivities. Well, here it is:

This year’s theme is “I Am Not Moving From This Spot Until I Feel Better.”

 Before I Get to the content rules, let’s talk about what’s here:

A fuzzy sherpa blanket. This is a Bedsure queen-sized blanket, 90″ x 90.″ Made from 100% locally-sourced free range unicorn. Blessed by the Epilepsy Fairy in a rite of Dark Epilepsy Magic. Make yourself a coccoon or share with a friend.

A Yeti thermos. Did you know that there is such a thing as a high-end thermos? There is, and they are stupidly expensive! It will keep your soup hot, your smoothie cold, and the blood of your enemies in whatever state you prefer. 

An electric heating pad. I have one like this, and I use it literally every day. I have been using it daily for about a year, so I can attest to the quality of the brand.

Pillbox fob and key clip. This doesn’t really fit the theme, but I have been using one of these to carry my meds around with me for years. It gives me a sense of security.

Tea. Traditional Medicine “Nighty-Night” brand. Sixteen wrapped tea bags. According to the box, it contains a valerian root extract that helps with relaxation. 

A variety of helpful snacks. You’re having a bad seizure day, and feel incapable of preparing food, but you’ve got to get something in you. All of this stuff came from my annual trip to the hippie store, which is always an adventure. I really should make a spreadsheet for these things, because they are all variations of plant-based, gluten free, etc. A couple of them have animal products, most do not.

HOW TO ENTER:

Have a seizure disorder. I don’t care if your seizures are epileptic or non-epileptic. I don’t care how or why you have them. I don’t care if they are psychogenic, genetic, the result of a brain tumor, or a function of a larger syndrome. I don’t care if you are seizure-free. The name of the event may be “EpileptiCon,” but a seizure is a seizure.

If you don’t have a seizure disorder, sit this one out.

Make posts here on Tumblr that pertain to epilepsy/seizures. Participate in EpileptiCon by contributing posts to the event. Tell stories, draw shitty comics, lash out in a furious burst of rage, write a poem, shitpost every ridiculous epilepsy-related idea that pops into your head. If you need ideas for what to write about, I will be providing suggestions daily. Most of them are terrible, but I’ll do my best to inspire.

@ me in the post and tag it “EpileptiCon giveaway.” I know that this sounds a little convoluted but Tumblr prevents some blogs from posting in the tags. Tagging my url guarantees that I will see it, and “giveaway” lets me know that you’re in it.

When EpileptiCon 2019 concludes, I will select a winner at random.

Bear in mind that winning the EpileptiCon 2018 Giveaway does mean that you will have to provide me, an Internet stranger, with a mailing address. If you’re not comfortable with that, I hope you will participate anyway, just for fun. 

I hope to see at least a modest amount of participation, because as you might have noticed, all this stuff is purple, as that is the official color of epilepsy awareness. But guess what? I fucking HATE purple. I am not keeping this stuff for myself. So take it off my hands, won’t you?

Tagging the other epilepsy blogs to spread the word: @the-twitchy-life @justepilepsy @brainbuffering @purplesmartass​ @dont-look-at-the-lights​ @impromptu-breakdancing​

PRESENTING. RANDOM DEEP DIVE WITH INDIGO-MUN AT 2AM ;

FIRST NAME Good fucking question… It’s (sort-of) currently Dylann! I was Kieran before that, though; it’s still used as one of my first names and I’m not used to Dylann quite yet bc I’ve just started using it. 

Indigo is one of my middle names though, and I’ve used it as an online handle elsewhere forever so I use it here now!  [ Fun etymology facts: Dylan(n) is a mythology name generally meaning “born of the wave” (aspiring diver & a water witch at heart). Kieran means “little dark one” bc of my love for horror, && I chose Indigo bc as a kid to be it was neither boy (blue) or purple (girl) and was both and neither as well as my absolute favorite color as this vibrant ass mystical color. ]

STRANGE FACT ABOUT YOURSELF hmmmmm…. I’m a horror lover at heart, so as a child (I wanna say 12), I was walking through an antique store (I have a few cool finds, I considered putting my other one as the fact tbh) and I turned the corner and I saw these two dolls staring back at me at the foot of the stairs of this antique building. my blood froze, and i felt my stomach drop. i got actual, physical goosebumps stumbling across these two creepy dolls staring back at me in the corner, and i couldn’t leave the store without them. perhaps the little painted porcelain boy would be somewhat spooky by himself if it wasn’t for the terrifying lidded gaze of the porcelain girl with the hairline fractures and slightly open lips. i cant look at her. i dont really find dolls scary, I like to find the spookier ones ones, and she makes me paranoid as hell. i keep her face covered and her up in my closet except for when i bring her out to show her off proudly as the spookiest thing I have but……. i dont really collect dolls anymore.  even thinking about her brings a fearful tear to my eye.  i don’t like to think about her for very long, but that’s why I’m so fucking proud to own her. ( YES — I’m THAT white person in the horror film )

TOP THREE PHYSICAL THINGS YOU FIND ATTRACTIVE ON A PERSON hhhhh a beardy jawline, high cheekbones, crooked canine teeth >:3c

A FOOD YOU COULD EAT FOREVER AND NOT GET BORED OF b.l.t.’s with avocado. ahhhh. my mouth is watering just thinking about it, oh my god. just a bit of salt and pepper???

A FOOD YOU HATE barbecue anything, i hate the taste of bbq sauce, you keep your nasty black goo to yourselves at the grill. twice in my life i have presented with barbecue pizza and both times i cried literal tears. why would you do such a horrible thing to a person? what kind of a monster are you? how do you sleep at night?!

GUILTY PLEASURE the sims. constantly. always. i’ve sunk thousands of hours into my households. oh also uhhhhhh i run two 80s horror blogs, one being a shitpost blog with occasional art of mine and one gremlin fanfic ship blog for horrible, terrible self indulgent fanfics i’ll get the courage to finish writing & post so i can be cancelled on tumblr for at some point. NO, i won’t link them. as i pretend they’re even all that hard to find, within a day i was found on both by someone i admire here a lot :’) ilu bby thnk u eternally for supporting ur local horrifying dumbass wtf

WHAT DO YOU SLEEP IN the same clothes i’ve been wearing all day usually, my sweats & long sleeve raglans or my hoodies. i like being cozy day & and out. and ugh. efoort. just throw me in a blanket in a cool room and im out.

SERIOUS RELATIONSHIPS OR FLINGS serious relationships with some openness or poly. i wish i could fling! just not exactly easy for demisexual autistics lmao.

IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN THE PAST AND CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT YOUR LIFE, WOULD YOU AND WHAT WOULD IT BE I think I would be adopted by my grandma as a kid. It would save me some trauma but mostly I think it would get my autism diagnosed way earlier and save me angsting all these years of wondering why & thinking it’s my fault I’m struggling so much and so loud and affectionate and different in a world that i didnt fit in the same way. 

ARE YOU AN AFFECTIONATE PERSON when i get drunk i text people how much they mean to me in my life. does that answer your question? ahhh. i’m sometimes a cuddle monster with friends, i message people with long texts about how much they mean to me, but I sometimes really don’t like to be touched at all. 

A MOVIE YOU COULD WATCH OVER AND OVER AGAIN FLYPAPER.  F L Y P A P E R.  FLYPAPER.  FLY, and, I can’t stress this enough, fucking PAPER. ( Though also Whole Nine Yards and both Re-Animator & Bride ). I have watched Flypaper already like, 5 times this week and I’m still not done, and the other movies have been on repeat for days in this household within the last year. In the past it has also been Donnie Darko & the new Nightmare on Elm Street.  roast me.

FAVORITE BOOK White Fang by Jack London. Have I actually ever finished it? No. Do I still own a copy I’ve had since childhood thru multiple dogs eating it, taking it to and from school, and highlighting and circling all the best parts of chapter one ever since I was a kid and it was too hard of a book for me to read? You bet your ass. If I ever need inspiration I just reread chapter 1. Although one of my other favorites was Broken Monsters by Lauren Beukes. But White Fang is like, a weirdly personal text. We stan London’s writing in this household.

YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO KEEP ANY ANIMAL AS A PET, WHAT DO YOU CHOOSE FENNEC FOX!! I used to daydream about having my own named Shiloh when I was a lil kid. they’re adorable little things and i am obsessed. i mean, gimme any fox and im happy, marble foxes, red foxes… but I was obsessed with fennec foxes. Also tbh ferrets. I want a ferret.

TOP FIVE FICTIONAL SHIPS [IF YOU ARE AN RP BLOG, YOU CAN USE YOUR OWN SHIPS AS WELL] Rosa & @ninetyscnds‘s Luke, Rosa & @iimpulsivity is already screaming my name, Rosa & Constantine, Jesse & Andrea from Breaking Bad, and the joker and harley of 80s sci-fi Dan & Herbert from Re-Ani.  I am but a simple opossum. 

PIE OR CAKE Pie! I’ll take both pumpkin & melty apple over cake. also, cheesecake is more pie than cake soooo, pie wins.

FAVORITE SCENT my dogs / my blanket. :’)  It’s the most grounding smell in the world. 

CELEBRITY CRUSH oliver jackson-cohen, i’m fucking GAY and im angry about it. there i was, minding my own business, and i saw that asshole in a certain SHIRTLESS GIF and it AWOKE SOMETHING IN ME. dont talk to me about it, holy shit im obsessed with beardy men now god fuckkdafjaask i hate him why did he make me this gay i was perfectly fine being into girls but NOOOOOO him and his dumb hairy chest and sweet rugged face and I——  I also am obsessed with the archaeologist & television personality Josh Gates and may or may not be considering making a fan blog for him bc idk if my anthropology docuseries host is Dad or Daddy but i love him lots

IF YOU COULD TRAVEL ANYWHERE, WHERE WOULD YOU GO I would go on a dive with anthropologists and archaeologists doing fieldwork research in the ancient cenotes of the Yucatán Peninsula. My actual dream job, catch me crying & fantasizing about being underwater documenting Mayan skulls given as offerings. Fuckkkk, I love anthropology so much!!  take me anywhere in the world to immerse myself into culture & archaeology.

INTROVERT OR EXTROVERT Introvert. I have a real life friend I see roughly once a month, and that’s it. Plenty of online relationships, I’m chatty, message me all day every day. but i dont do people well.

DO YOU SCARE EASILY I used to! Really bad. I don’t as much anymore. I do get paranoia a lot still. Having therapists telling you that the FBI could be outside your house watching you through your windows will kind of nervous. ( no google results for: yes hello fbi i am a writer please dont put me on watchlists i just have research i need to do for this idea im working on, would you like to try again? ) I have nightmares nightly but not they never make me afraid, they just make me feel like crap. jumpscares and loud noises and seeing people reaching into their pockets dont set off as many brain alarms anymore tho!! progress haha.

IPHONE OR ANDROID I like my android better bc of capabilities but meh

DO YOU PLAY ANY VIDEO GAMES My mom, her husband & I play COD for family game night, and Silent Hill is my life’s blood. I’ve sunken hours into Sims & Skyrim, and Norman Jayden from Heavy Rain is my #1 fictional character in existence, why do i love the druggie babies

DREAM JOB Oh… You’re asking me to pick? I’d love to be an anthropologist doing work out in the field. Underwater archaeology is peak, but I’m also heavily considering being a body recovery diver or police diver. I’d love to see myself in uniform someday, if possible. Just the thought makes me teary eyed & proud.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH A MILLION DOLLARS fund my person creative & educational endeavors. get myself a spooky ass abandoned house to make my own home to create in, and travel to the world’s best dive sites. just live a mild life of education, creation & exploration. that’s the dream TM.

FICTIONAL CHARACTER YOU HATE dr. hill is a gross and whiny lil bitch this post brought to u by the miskatonic crew, how is everyone here an even worse bad guy than herbert west precious dan excluded talk shit get hit tho john winchester from spn and both walter white & todd from breaking bad are all in my crew of hated characters. i jusT…   the reani novel is difficult to read because i have to deal with this old sack of shit.

Bad Hair Day

mmmm short shit

warnings: dumbassery

ships: platonic spralbert

editing: nope the fuckst not

“Uh, Race,” Race pulled out an earbud at the sound of his roommate, Albert, calling him from the bathroom, “I fucked up.”

Inwardly groaning, Race pushed himself off of his bed, abandoning his phone on the sheets.  He reluctantly trudged down the hallway, knocking once on the bathroom door before opening it.

“What do you want-oh my fucking God,” He stopped short, eyes widening as Albert turned to him, a panicked, pained look in his eyes.  It looked like Albert had attempted to cut his own hair.  The front was short and choppy and the back was still too long, but now random clumps of ginger were missing.  It was awful and Race didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.  His gaze traveled from Albert’s hair to the pair of kiddie scissors in his hand and he blinked, completely bewildered.

“Yeah,” Albert said, his voice an octave too high, “Uh, my hair was really long and my dance teacher wanted me to cut it for Nutcracker, but I’m a broke ass bitch who doesn’t like talking to people, so the thought of going to a whole ass barber shop was, like, outta the question, so I was like, I’ma do it myself, and yeah.” He finished lamely, placing the kiddie scissors on the sink and reaching up to run a hand through it hair, cringing when he felt the uneven locks.

Race shook his head, bemused, “You look,” he paused, trying to find the right words, “Like Raggedy Ann had a midlife crisis, hang on, lemme try and fix it.”

Albert grimaced, confliction swimming in his eyes, “Do you even know how to cut hair?”

Race wrinkled his nose, pushing Albert down so that he was sitting on the toilet lid, “I mean, technically no, but it shouldn’t be too hard to do better than you.”

Albert bit his lip, considering, “Okay, uh, have at it,” He said, motioning towards the scissors and squeezing his eyes shut in anticipation.

Race picked up the scissors, which upon closer inspection, he realized had penguins on the handles.  He fumbled awkwardly, trying to grip them securely.  He always forgot how awful using scissors as a lefty was.  Reaching up to tentatively grab some of Albert’s hair, he took a deep breath.  He tried to mimic what he’d seen barbers do, pulling strands of Albert’s hair between his pointer and middle finger and cutting off the ends, bit by bit.  He tried to make it even, but as he continued, it became evident that all he was doing was making it worse.  After a few minutes of feverishly trying to remedy Albert’s hair disaster, they heard the front door open.  Whistling rang through the apartment, followed by the sound of a backpack hitting the floor and Race paused for a moment, listening.  

“Yo, Al, Racer, y’all home?” Spot, their other roommate called.

“Uh, yep, in the bathroom,” Race called back.

“Together?” Spot asked, sounding slightly horrified.  He appeared a moment later, drinking from a bottle of coke, but when he saw Race and Albert, he choked.

“Albert, Jesus fuck,” He sputtered, “And I thought you’d reached your peak ugliness.”

Albert glowered at him, “Shut the fuck up.”

“God,” Spot breathed, stepping further into the bathroom and reach out to touch Albert’s hair.  Albert ducked out of the way, hitting Spot’s wrist as he did so, “It truly is awful.”

“I know,” Albert deadpanned, “It sucks.”

“Lord, okay, here,” Spot handed Race his bottle of coke and took the scissors out of his grip, “Turn towards me.”

Albert eyed him warily, but obliged and Spot stuck his tongue between his teeth, narrowing his eyes in focus as he got to work cutting Albert’s hair.  Race watched in amazement as he quickly got rid of uneven clumps and choppy strands.  He used the scissors to even out Albert’s hair, then wordlessly grabbed a pair of clippers from the mirror cabinet and styled it so that it was clean.  It was significantly shorter, but not badly so, and it was mussed attractively on top.  

“That actually looks really good,” Race said in awe as Albert stood up, looking in the mirror to inspect his new haircut.

“Holy shit,” Albert hissed, “Spot why are you so good at that?” Spot shrugged, using a paper towel to wipe bits of hair off the toilet lid, “When I was in foster care, we didn’t always have money for haircuts, so I learned to get good at it.  Plus, summa the littler guys wanted cool styles, so I figured may as well.”

“Awww,” Race cooed, pinching Spot’s cheeks, earning a glare in return, “What a softie.”

Spot held up the kiddie scissors, menacingly, “I could cut your throat.”

Race grinned, stepping out of the way as Spot jokingly snipped the scissors at him, “I’m a bad bitch, you can’t kill me.”

Spot frowned and Albert glanced at Race in the mirror, “Hey, Racer?”

“What?”

“Shut up.”

15 Questions About Me

Thank you to @thewholeguacamole for tagging me for this! I love doing these sorts of things

Are you named after someone?

Sort of? My middle name is my mother’s middle name because my last name is my father’s last name, which is a sort of a tradition in our family. But my first name isn’t anything after anyone.

When is the last time you cried?

I got super stressed about music in general like a week and a half ago. Frustrated with lackluster practicing on my own accord.

Do you want/have kids?

I want kids and I want to have a family but I definitely am gonna wait until Im like settled in and married.

Do you use sarcasm a lot?

I dont think I do unless its specifically for humor and is very obvious. I don’t ever really use it for snide remarks. 

Whats the first thing people notice about you?

I want to say my personality but I mean I dont really know oof

Whats your eye color?

Mix of blue green and gray. 

Scary movie or happy ending?

I don’t like fake happy endings but I don’t really ever watch horror movies. I’ll take a legit happy ending that was earned though.

Any special talent?

Well I can play the viola to an undergraduate freshman non-performance major extent if that makes sense. I am hypermobile in my elbows / shoulders and I can do the backwards prayer thing but with my hands all the way to the top of my neck / right under my head.

Whats the last thing you dreamed of?

Something to do with being late to one of my music classes but past that I don’t remember.

What are your hobbies?

Watching Youtube videos, playing Zelda, Music, listening to music, hanging out with friends, shitposting with friends

Do you have any pets?

I have 2 cats, Callie and Gizzy

Whats sports have you/did you play?

I never got involved in sports past gym class honestly.

How tall are you?

5′ 4′’

Favorite subject in school?

Id say music but also.... for real psychology. Love psych

Dream job?

Teaching orchestra at the middle or high school level. I may change to elementary strings at some point though, I have a few years to chose. Not a job but I definitely want to play viola in some local pit orchestras or even just in a community orchestra. 

Im going to tag some mutual, I’m sorry if I forgot anyone please feel free to do this still if we are mutuals and I forgot you! I’m only going like 2 weeks back in my activity
