Take My Brain

Take my brain to a thrift shop

before my heart stops.

So someone can take it off the shelf

and use the potential I'm not myself.

Hey hey, saw your post abt Zane being am angsty boi after all them s11 shenanigans and was wondering if you could share the fic ya wrote abt it? I would absolutely love love love to read it 😖😖🧡

(Only if you're comfortable sharing it though-)

im super glad you asked!! I'm so sorry for how late of a response this is but I finally got it posted!! It's an incredibly old work of mine but re-formatting it on tumblr was too much trouble so I just posted it to Ao3

I am quite tempted to write a little sequel that has the events of the pictures I posted take place

[roselinbooks]

So in addition to reading and reacting to the writing of 13-year-old me, I am also REWRITING that WIP into something, hopefully, more cohesive and like...not terrible.

Like the react series "Keep it in the Drafts", this rewrite will only be available to supporters (Ko-Fi and Patreon). For the low entry fee of $2 you too can witness my eternal torment!

Spider (funny story I wrote. Child reader)

One day, y/n was playing until they came across a spider! It was a tarantula, so y/n picked it up and went to show dogday! They were so excited to show their friend the spider they found! So they smiled and tapped dogdays shoulder lightly. Dogday turned around and to his surprise, y/n was holding a SPIDER. His eyes widened and he screamed like a little girl. "EEK- A SPIDER!" dogday exclaimed, now standing on the table so it couldn't get him. Y/n didn't know he was afraid of spiders. But they snickered and playfully apologized. "Heh...sorry dogday...didn't know you would scream like a little girl at the sight of a spider~" dogday looked away sheepishly. "I-its okay a-angel..." So since showing dogday failed...miserably...they went to instead show catnap! They wandered around playcare, knowing that's where catnap tended to be. They kept the spider in their tiny hands. "Catnap?" They called out. But there was no answer. "Caaatnaaaap!!" They called out even louder, thinking for sure they would answer. But there wasn't... so they got a bit annoyed. "Theeeooo!" They exclaimed. That's when they appeared. Their giant stature staring down at them. "Look! It's a spider!" Y/n exclaimed. Catnap looked at them curiously. Y/n then put the spider on catnaps nose so they could look at it better. But that's when...catnap....ate the spider....it was quite the interesting sight.....y/n just...left the room....as catnap wondered why.

I finally retrieved the ancient texts from my storage unit

aka the "books" I made from the ages of like 9-12(??) by writing and drawing on printer paper (or just notebook paper!!) and then stapling them together, I'd do a lil cover and everything, I'd write a summary on the back like Real Books Have, and I was so proud of them

and I have kept them all. and now. I decided to look at them once more. the relics from as early as 2005..

so. You guys wanna see an unfinished dragon comic written by a 10-year-old?? haha yeah you do c'mere

Super Dragons #1. Rhynoc Trouble With Powder

Written and illustrated by (full name redacted for privacy reasons)

This is labeled #1 but I never did more lmaoo let's dive into this mess

(rest will be under the cut, along with transcriptions of the writing because it didn't scan very well but also I just had terrible handwriting and the crayons smudged like hell. I WILL preserve any spelling or grammar mistakes in my transcription so you can really get an idea of my skill level back then)

So first off can I just say. I am. OBSESSED with how I would consistently draw dragon wings backwards, ignoring my older brother who constantly pointed it out to me and I was like "no they're not", until I eventually paid more attention and tried following some tutorials on how to draw Spyro-style dragons and I was just like ohh. Okay. Yeah. I'll fix that.

Also I like that while Deserae is a "sun dragon" she has no features that would make you think that, she's just a magenta and pink dragon. Though in retrospect I'd suppose that'd make for a fun subversion of expectations. My thinking was clearly next level. So, the text:

Once upon a time, there was a brave dragon. Her name was Deserae. She controls the Sun. When awake, the Sun is bright. When asleep, the Moon comes out. But one day, Deserae overheard a group of Rhinocs talking about keeping her asleep, so that the Sun will never come out. Deserae was devastated! She saw Permanate Sleeping Powder. That's what they were going to use!

Deserae: (thinking) That one Rhinoc has a fat head

Unnamed Rhynoc: We'll put her to sleep with Powder!

Now here's a fun thing of note, young me insisted on trying to fit characters fully into the panel instead of just letting parts go past the borders, so. Keep an eye on parts like tails going forward because it's ridiculous what I did with them sometimes. I also would have characters like, think about random stuff I personally thought was funny while drawing, or they'd explain things unnecessarily. idk why, it's just what I did

Spyro jumpscare! Deserae makes a badly done flier trying to find a bodyguard (if she has such an important role why does she not already have one? who knows) and surprise, Spyro answers the call. Because he's a heroic guy and that's what he does <3 And bigger surprise, he and Deserae immediately fall in love. He was a boy, she was a girl, can I make it anymore obvious?

Deserae started to make posters to get protection. She isn't a good drawer, but it worked!

The poster reads "WANTED BODY GUARD. FOR INFO CALL 111-2531"

In just 1 hour Spyro called. He did it for free! (An arrow points at Spyro, labeling him as Spyro) Deserae accepted him. Spyro got to Deserae as fast as possible. Spyro and Deserae fell in love with each other as soon as they met.

Spyro: (thinking) She's the girl for me.

Deserae: You're handsome.

Spyro said, "So... What is it you need to be protected from?" Deserae told him all about the Rhynocs and the Permanate Sleeping Powder. They went off to find the Rhynocs.

Spyro: (thinking) Great! Tracks!

Spyro and Deserae headed to the lake. There wasn't anything there. The volcano did not have anything either. Finally they came to a forest.

Spyro: They might be in the forest!

They found a bag of the Sleeping Powder. Spyro destroyed it, but little did they know, it was a fake!

Meanwhile...

Unnamed Rhynoc 1: Where did I put that Sleeping Powder?

Unnamed Rhynoc 2: How should I know!? (while thinking 'It's in the safe.')

Back to the dragons...

Spyro: At least we got rid of the Sleeping Powder.

So he thought. The real Powder was in the metal safe.

Spyro had to use the bathroom, so he ran off and left Deserae.

Deserae: Hurry up!

Unfortunately, the Rhynocs heard that Spyro had stopped protecting her. They headed her way.

Unnamed Rhynoc: Sun dragon! You're mine!

The Rhynocs found Deserae and shot a net on her. Then they carried her away.

Deserae: No!

Deserae got bored in the room they put her in. So she decided to work on her fire power. Suddenly, Deserae changed color to confuse the Rhinoc!

Unnamed Rhynoc: WHAT IS THAT NOISE!?

Note: I love how I keep switching between spelling it as Rhinoc and Rhynoc. For the record, they're a classic Spyro enemy and Rhynoc is the correct spelling, I believe. Meanwhile, Deserae's color swap was done entirely because I was using a different set of crayons from the usual ones and had to use different pinks for her, so I just decided to make the color switch a part of the story. Lmaoo

The Rhinoc opened the door and Deserae flamed him accidently. Another Rhinoc came running and saw her. But he was so stupid he let her out because he thought she was another dragon.

Desarae: I must find Spyro! (while thinking 'Idiot')

Rhynoc: Beat it!

Deserae got back to the forest's entrance. Spyro was laying down, sleeping. Deserae shot a flame at him to wake him up.

This is what happened...

Spyro: What the... Deserae! Is that you?

Deserae: Duh. Oh wait, I'm still a different color.

I adore how my sequence of events here is Spyro going off to use the bathroom, Deserae gets taken in the meantime, and apparently when he gets back and can't find her, he just... lays down to take a nap?? Okay man. Sure

Spyro went to find some sleep. Deserae turned back to shades of red-violet.

Deserae: My horn bent! (While thinking 'I'll have to fix it...')

Deserae headed to the lake for a drink and some fish. It's very dark water.

Suddenly, and trust me when I say I don't know how it happened, Snape from Harry Potter walked up.

Deserae: Snape! I like your daring! I do stupid things too!

Deserae: (thinking) Is that a dress or robe? His skin is pale.

Snape: Do I know you? (While thinking 'Dragons are big...')

Snape ran away for unknown reasons. Deserae found Spyro.

Spyro: Stop doing that!

Deserae: It does work. (While thinking 'I'm good at talking while flaming')

aand that's it. I never got further than that. The goddamn Snape cameo hit me like a truck, god. I forgot I just threw him into this for no reason. He's there for one entire panel and just runs off again. Good riddance.

So yeah, that's Super Dragons. Again, I love Spyro walking away from the person he agreed to protect to go sleep, and she again just went and found him and flamed him to wake him up. That probably would have been a running joke if I kept writing this. There's also how they fell in love at first sight, only for that to proceed to just not be relevant for the rest of it. Spyro/Deserae I guess

But yeah looking back at this was SO fun, yeah there's very little artistic talent but nonetheless, I had an idea and I followed it, and ya gotta respect that. Everyone starts somewhere, and that's where I started with learning to write and draw. With silly lil dragon stories like this, many of which didn't get finished or shared, but any practice was still valuable. For anyone who decided to read through this whole post, I hope you've enjoyed taking a look at my oldest creative works. I might scan and share more of my old "books", I'll use the tag 'my old writing' for any of it, lemme know if you're interested in seeing more! :D

There's this boy

I was poking around an old (non-tumblr) blog of mine, long abandonded, login forgotten. I guess my computer remembered the login for me because in my haphazard clicking I ended up falling into the backend, a list of posts before me. Including drafts. Posts never posted, that I barely if at all remember writing. Snapshots of a younger me, seperated from now by just over a decade. So focused, so idealistic.

I thought I'd finally let some of those words see the light of day. I've changed somewhat, I've definitely lost the surety of gender, but I like to believe that I have retained some of that idealism, and that the sentiment of last sentence remains true.

"There's this boy" 24th Feb 2013

Labels: Futurism, Sleep deprivation

There's this boy, and all he wants in life is to live in the future. Not so much to get older quicker, more to experience the far future. So he devours sci-fi and spec-fic media. Books like Neuromancer, and The Diamond Age, where humans blend seamlessly with the technology around them. Games like Mass Effect that demonstrate a relatively newly space-faring humanity, veritable virgins in the galactic landscape. Settings like Revelation Space, where humanity, wiser but still possessing it's myriad flaws, is verging on transhumanism, moving beyond regular evolution, to Eclipse Phase, where transhumanity is all there is. Consciousness can be uploaded and downloaded, tinkered with and altered as easily as one might get a tattoo.

Science is another passion. Physics in particular. He doesn't remember which came first, his love for the future, or his love for science, but it doesn't seem to matter. Each lead directly to the other, and he studies hard, or at least as hard as a boy will when surrounded by his beloved tech, so he can be part of as much of the future as his human life will allow. And he hopes beyond hope, that that limit keeps moving further and further away as science and technology continue to make breakthroughs in longevity.

I think about this boy and I think, all he really wants is what any, or at least many of us want deep down. He is working under the same mental drive that forces people to believe in a supernatural afterlife, or reincarnation. He wants immortality. He fears death, yes, though he will not readily admit it to himself, but it is not this that drives him. You see he loves science and he loves the future because he loves humanity, as one loves and worries about a dear friend. He wants to see humanity's potential realised, to witness them reach out into space and explore and learn. To beat disease, and eventually death. To inevitably become greater than humanity itself, and be born into something wholly new.

He fears death, but more often he fears that this will remain in the realm of sci fi and spec fic. He wants to live long and learn, and for humanity to learn with him, for he knows that we live in a finite universe, and learning is all there is. There is no greater goal, no greater reason to live than to learn and experience and love, and there is so much of it to do, so much that his heart screams out in joy and terror at the shear magnitude of it all, and he cannot do it alone. So he studies his physics and follows his technology, and he hopes. He loves humanity and he hopes.

How to Speak Like a Writer stutter-mutter yourself into a hole world of nightmarish you’d never thought you’d thought and never think because once— Interruptions subjects in eternal rotations that never see the sun in black and white matters grey matters disappear into the dust to find— What was that word? wit is a paper-game don’t play with tongue-tired pens never rest “easy thoughtlessness of thought” natural in graphite— Never stop while erasers run bare pages full empty voice

[narukoibito]

I just read your fic ‘paper planes’, knowing it was abandoned, and I don’t regret it at all. I totally understand your reasons to not have finished it but I love angst stories and it’s so hard to find good ones, wish you would have finished it :( Anyway, just wanted to tell you I really appreciated your story!

Asfhjskg thank you! It's so rare to receive comments from my super old fics. You're so sweet to take a moment to tell me you enjoyed it. 💛

Tell me about Nicholas Tries to Escape

Does he manage to do it?

Ah, yes. So Nicholas is a character in Book 3, whose relationship to the other characters I won't explain for Massive Spoiler reasons. But basically, he's in training as a spy, ends up trapped somewhere he wasn't supposed to be, and can't contact his trainer for help because he's surrounded by mind-readers.

His solution is to escape through the underground prison, which is full of hidden secret exits, and unfortunately, he doesn't even get past the entrance.

This document is actually on the older end, so a lot's changed since I wrote it. I think I can get away with putting a little snippet here without ruining too much.

The door swung open. There was only one pair of footsteps, so far as Nicholas could tell. He could hear the person’s boots clicking against the chamber’s metal floors as they approached the exit. Then the footsteps became suddenly soft and disconcertingly close. The person was in the grass now, invisible to Nicholas in the dark, but no more than a few feet away from him. He could hear them breathing, though this sound was quickly muffled by the slamming of the chamber’s heavy door and the clicking of its lock. Now his window was gone, and Nicholas was less than an arm’s length away from a Kenacian officer with special access to the underground prison network. Nicholas didn’t have that access. He had no excuse for being here. And if he was seen . . . he couldn’t let that happen.  The officer kicked at the grass languidly and hummed in a high, airy voice. For some reason they’d stopped moving; the footsteps had come to a halt. Nicholas slowly lifted his body a few inches from the ground. At this point it was probable that he’d be left with no other alternative but to run and pray to God those months of racing magically-enhanced sprinters had paid off. He released his mouth for a moment and drew in a shaky breath, then immediately clamped it shut again when he heard the officer speak.  “Is someone there?” they said, sounding more amused than concerned. 

Thanks so much for the ask! (Swear to god, it takes everything in me not to just dump the entire plot of Book 3 here.)

After Wiktor made a scene at Michał's, his father went crazy. Today Wiktor tried to catch Michał in front of school, but his old man brought him by car and said that it would be like this all the time now and that he would also take him after school… And now Wiktor sits at home dejected and doesn't want to talk to anyone, ehh. And I don't know what to do about it. Yesterday he supposedly fucked some guy because his friends took him out to loosen up. And now he has a guilty conscience :( I feel sorry for him..

[wishfulsketching]

I have finally finished season 2 of Arcane and can now enjoy your art without fear!!! They should be happy together 🥺

I take it "they" means zaundads because that is what I've been drawing the most BUT, lets be honest, applies to like 98% of the characters in the show.

They should've been a big happy familyyyy

Legend of Malefor

Long ago, a rare purple dragon named Malefor was banished from the Dragon lands for his desperate lust for power. Betrayed and angry, he sought to bring ruin to the world, having come to believe his destiny was to destroy this world to allow a new, better one to be born in its place. But though his heart was full of hatred, he did once allow love in as well, and this decision altered both his own fate and the fate of the world. It wasn't mere coincidence that a new purple egg eventually came to be. This is the tale of Malefor failing to fulfill what he thought to be his destiny, reconsidering the story of his life, and choosing for himself how he wants his story to continue. Rating: General Audiences Chapters: 10 Word Count: 13,608

Yeah I uploaded the old fic I talked about here to AO3 because I could. I did revisions to pretty much every chapter, not just for grammar, but I ended up expanding a lot on some of Malefor's thoughts as well as better explaining some things in general, just because. Idk there was a lotta funkiness to the writing and I just didn't want to leave it like that lmao. I linked to the original of each chapter at the end so people are welcome to go look at the og 2010 writing in all its glory.

so yeah this is like. Obviously I don't need any criticism on what sucks because I know. It's from thirteen years ago. I know :') I'm just sharing it now for fun. Even the title is super unoriginal and a product of its time. But heyy I still have a soft spot for this fic so I'm leaving it like it is haha. For anyone who does decide to check it out, enjoy <3

[crappycamille]

do you ever look at your past stuff and just say, what?

[taletoldbyanidiot]

Evolution You and I watched as the little girl next door climbed on to the kindergarten bus today. I wonder if it is something that you might like to do; or something that I just might like to watch you do—someday. All dressed up for your very first day, I would pass you, sweet son to a stranger in the yellow. I would catch all the smiles and a quick wave tossed from the top step. I should not have to give you away. Mine completely until now— to share you seems unfair. Hug me before you leave. I don’t want to cry as you disappear through the door from my life for a day. Tomorrow I will watch all the pomp and circumstance. I give you away again, but I trust you— the keeper of your future. Still, hug me before you leave. I will cry as you disappear, but only from view, because as long as I am here, I will be with you.
