I’m thinking about getting a hamster and naming it after #fanfic. Sound off in the replies if this is a bad idea.

Your Arab aren't you? Have you ever dated a terrorist

nah I’m not into white guys sry

Why does it cost me $12 to send my SAT and ACT scores and $15 to send my AP scores to colleges? It’s a digital score report how does it cost money? Where does this money go? Why do I need to pay MORE money for this in addition to the actual application fees which is in addition to my actual college tuition? I get that capitalism is necessary but why does it have to bleed so deeply into my education?

Hey! So ,it's the first time I write to someone on tumblr and I do this because I want to tell you how much you inspired me and how amazing and awesome your work is! As for the ask meme , if it's not to much to ask for, 1,4,5! Thank you ! :)

Well thank you very much for asking! :D

And a bigger thank you for your support, tbh i never thought i COULD inspire someone, so hearing you say that literally made by day! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

(I’m the raccoon)

On to the ask meme…

1. things that inspire you

In all honesty, there are too many places to name! But i’d have to say that the biggest spheres of influence for me are animated movies and Bollywood.

Weird combo, i know.

But i grew up with 80′s and 90′s animated movies from the bottom of the bargain barrel that had AMAZING ideas, but poor execution. So when i write, i remember the good and snip out the not-so-good. 

Bollywood is just crazy. 

Colorful and full of emotion. Which is what i want my writing to be associated with. Every movie is a musical and every song pure poetry (if you don’t believe me just find the English subtitles to any song, i promise its great). Which i’m also a big sucker for! ;)

4. name three authors that were influential to your work and tell why

uhhhhhhhhh…

Oh boy…

Well the first one would definitely have to be @hollyblack . 

I’ve never read any collection of work that’s impacted me as much as her. She’s the first one that got me interest in writing, the first one to really connect to me as a person. Her writing style is gritty and real, but still contains such a refined air. If i had to describe what reading her work is like, it’s like wearing fishnet stockings under your wedding dress in a forest filled with Faeries.

The second one would have to be @/titekubo

Not because of the ending of Bleach OH GOD NO PLEASE DONT BRING THAT MESS ONTO MY GOOD DISCOURSE-FREE BLOG

But because the large portion of Bleach had such poetic, symbolic relationships and character arcs. Every chapter’s title was like a line out of a poem and, obviously, I've tried to emulate that as much as possible. 

And though his version of the ending spelled disaster for his own characters’ development, i admire how beautiful the majority of the story and it’s characters were. 

Last, but not least, would have to be @gailcarsonlavine

Most know her for her book ‘Ella Enchanted’, but what i love her for is her lesser known book ‘Fairest’. 

It had everything i love about Lavine’s work: her dedication to her characters, her weaving of good vs bad, and her heart-twisting fairy tale romance. But ‘Fairest’ was different. It was a Beauty and the Beast retelling (a trope you must know i use a lot).

But both the Beauty and the Beast were the same character. 

It was a self-acceptance book ahead of them all. And when i was twelve it kept me going when nothing else did.

5. since how long ago do you write

Welp, this is embarrassing…but i first started writing seriously in FIVE years ago.

Yeah.

I’m old!

But it all started, as most great things do, with crappy fanfiction and a Wattpad account. God knows how much blackmail material is on my old account. 

I still look back at those old files and cringe so hard I’m tempted to throw my computer at a wall. 

But i hang onto those files.

Because, yeah, they were bad. But they were mine. They had my ideas, my time, and my effort in them. I keep them around to show my development and thank God i know what i’m doing now.

Sorry for the long reply, but i wanted to make sure i gave your questions the answers they deserve!

Thanks for the ask! And i wish you luck with all your writing endeavors as well.

Happy Halloween!!! 😈

Have my Galra-experiment Pidge! (Also might write a oneshot on this??? Maybe???)

I FEEL ATTACKED???? BUT THIS IS ALSO QUALITY ANGST????

lotor finding out how short human lifespans are compared to galra/altean for #angst

Just… just rip my heart out why don’t ya. 

I wonder when he would tell her how long he’d live if that were the case. Imagine Pidge listing all the things she wants to do with him in her life, get married, establish peace, get a dog, get 7 more dogs, she starts listing accomplishments she wants to achieve at certain ages. She ends with “And by 90 or so we’ll be old and withered so we can retire in peace, finally a chance to relax!” And Lotor’s smile never slips off his face even when his heart is shattering into a million peaces at the inevitable future. He has to make sure to cherish every moment he can while he still has her.

This tweet aged well.
