Ishi/Isha, 23 |
primarily a Got7 Stan account but also a place for everything else cuz I am too lazy & unorganized for sideblogs.
no masterlist yet. search the tag 'my fic' for my writing(s)
If you’d like to work with me please contact via email or Twitter (same username) DMs! And if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to send an ask!
It’s probably also worth noting I won’t judge you for what you’ve written, or blast you all over the internet for writing [insert thing that’s bad irl here]. Fiction is not reality and I believe that strongly, including in original works. That said, I am not a sensitivity reader so cannot help if you want sensitivity reading.
If you see this on your feed, please give me a reblog for extra visibility! Thanks!
Stop vilifying adults that live with their parents.
We’re still deep in one of the worst economic recessions of modern times. For many of us its not a choice but a requirement in order to survive. For many of us we have disabilities that make finding accommodation that suit our needs a lot harder and a lot more expensive.
Many of us pay into the household. Many of us are trapped in abusive households because we don’t have the means to leave. We aren’t moochers or afraid to leave the nest. The world simply isn’t built to support us anymore.

Sound up! 🔈 I positioned my phone underneath my chin to take this video lol but I wanted to show you guys all this cool stuff my new watch does!
(My friend Natalie is a frickin genius and helped jailbreak it all the way from 2020 so I’m not Brayleigh anymore 🙌)
Here’s my little avatar (used for WatchTalk - the FaceTime of the future), a list of hazards that change daily (mad creepy), you can watch TV (there’s 3000 channels but most of them are bullshit), interactive text messages, FUTURE TETRIS (!!!), daily meditation… the list goes on. Super cool! I wonder what else I can do with it now that it’s jailbroken 🤔
But! The empanadas turned out pretty good I think! After Alix was done grumbling about the mess I forced him to try one. We talked for a little. I told him about my friends and family back home…how my mom would make these for me all the time. He didn’t talk much but I think he liked listening. When I asked about HIS family though…I guess that was the wrong thing to say. He went really quiet and made some excuse about being tired and started heading to his room. But before he left the kitchen he turned to me and said “thanks for these.”
Mission…accomplished…? 🤷♀️
