About me

I am a chaotic good trilingual Belgian lady, writer of character-driven Dark Fantasy, and I was diagnosed autistic in January '23 at the age of 42. I'm overall a happy person, gots a husband, two cats, a great love and passion for anime (subbed) and video games, reverence for Dragons and Death (yes, the entity), an obsession with emotions and psychology, and I tend to fangirl my own characters a lot. I'm real easy to get to know since I'm open about my life and myself.

I'm also chronically stressed and tired. The assumption here is that decades of unwitting masking, of functioning by societal norms, has slowly gotten me into a state of perpetual autistic burnout. This basically means that I have good days and bad days, depending on how brain chemistry decides to fare. Generally, I dislike getting into arguments and petty debates because they waste so much energy over nothing.

My values

These past decades have gotten me here: I am all about tolerance and communication and seeing the world through each other's eyes. As such, I love meeting people of all walks of life, be they fellow autistics, ADHD, bipolar, neurotypicals, and everything in between. I'm genuinely interested in understanding how people function.

However. Tired as I always am, I tend to do what feels natural to me without too much thought at times. This means, specifically for fellow autistics, that I don't adhere to the unwritten rules and social cues of the global autistic community. Concretely: I don't speak the lingo and won't cater to specific needs on my blog. This also applies to trigger warnings, which I don't recognize beyond 18+ and gore.

This means that, here, any and all topics can/may/will be discussed, and that everyone's welcome to pitch in an opinion/thought – as long as you do it respectfully. I am generally able to perceive the difference between responses made in anger and hurt, and targeted trolling. As said above, I do like to meet people of all kinds. There's also no need to adhere to any sort of Tumblr etiquette with me. Just come as you are. We'll see if we can get along.

What to expect on this blog

Since my activity spikes at times and I mainly enjoy scrolling BotW fanarts, arts in general, and posts about writing, I can only tell you for certain that herein you can find

reblogs about writing tips on varying subjects

reblogs of dark/beautiful artwork that appeals to me

the occasional autism reblog that speaks to my personal life

the even more occasional personal blog

the very occasional writing snippet from my own works

The most important thing to remember about personal input is that, when I write about any topic, be it eloquently or like a monkey on red bull, what I say is only my own personal opinion and experience. I'm open to being told I'm wrong on more general topics, not to be yelled at or otherwise bullied into compliance. I'm cute and friendly until I no longer am.

As stated above: I am all about tolerance and communication. I'll assume any bitchiness is a reaction of hurt if you extend the same courtesy to me. I'm open to discussing potential issues as long as you try to understand where I'm coming from, too.

A word of caution regarding my own content/writing shares

As stated above, I tend not to have a working filter when it comes to trigger warnings beyond 18+ and gore. I don't think in categories. My mind is a flow of feelings and emotions and thoughts and of life, beautiful and ugly, sometimes uplifting, sometimes rife with darkness and despair. And I need to express it all the only way I know how: by simply expressing it.

Therefore, reading any of my posts comes at your own discretion. I will assume you've read through the pinned post, and direct you here should you express any sort of uninformed displeasure at reading my posts.

Still here?

Wonderful :3. Now, how about I direct you to my current big project, Ario's story, and all five (almost six) parts in his story? Yes? Yes. :3

Basically the story of a young man who decided to flee his home country, gets stuck on a ship, and then problems, comedy, sappiness and all sorts of delicious moments occur. The Dark Fantasy part is coming up in part 6. Stay tuned!

oh to be loved like a habit and not a chore. oh to be loved because loving you is their default state of being and not something they have to perform like a duty. ohh to be loved because they don't want to live a life where loving you doesn't exist.

oh to be loved truly.

men who are irrevocably & hopelessly in love with their beloved are so endearing. they who tend to their beloved with such gentle affection, walking the fine line between adherence & withdrawing, ever so graciously.

they who understand the intricacies of the multi faceted feminine & honour it diligently.

when living in a world that dances on the symphonies composed by the rigid & greedy; they who choose to denounce such flimsy hierarchies embrace all worldly & other worldly victories.

And yes, Durge is so narratively appealing to me because all what's going on on a Big Scale is literally Your Personal Fault.

The consequences of your own actions. The evil undead general? You WORKED with him.

The lunatic murderer? She is an annoying little sister who stabbed you.

The tyrant closing black fist over the Baldur's Gate? Your Buddy. You were his FAVORITE.

It's not just some random "evil force takes the wheel and you need to save the world."

I mean, it is, but YOU are the part of this evil force. Everything bad happening around can be easily traced back to you and your evil plan. It's YOUR evil plan (and Gortash's, but you were A TEAM of evildoers, equally into it).

You were SO GODAWFUL the tyrant choking Baldurs Gate sees you and lights up like a candle.

Of course it's narratively pleasing, the entire Dark Urge playthrough is just "and if these are not consequences of my own actions" and it's AMAZING.

I always found it strange that Bhaal would demand Isobel as a sacrifice rather than Aylin; after all, Aylin is a huge threat to Bhaals plan if she’s allowed to live. But then again, Isobel is the mortal lover to a demigod. It’s rather symbolic, don’t you think? This is what happens to demigods’ lovers. This is what should’ve happened to Gortash. And if Durge doesn’t kill Isobel, Bhaal will force their hand if they’ve chosen a new lover too. Durge might not remember Gortash, but Bhaal will make sure they remember this lesson before they can even think about getting reattached.

if i had a nickel for every time Callum had a scene with the cube and then Rayla showed up, I'd have three nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened three times right
