Some fic update: I will not be posting this week (surprise surprise) BUT I might (?) next week. I currently have a fic in the works where Beatrice is Mulan, but instead of the ending where she comes back and everyone is happy, Beatrice comes back from China to her parents being all disappointed. After that, Beatrice runs from her family and she throws herself back into the military, and ends up going on a foreign mission to Europe where the Roman Empire is falling apart and THEN she’ll meet Ava and the rest of the squad. I’ve got like 800 words written which is pretty good but we’ll see how it goes.
(also if you guys are wondering about the batb au yes i know it sits in my drive staring at me whispering “mother you have abandoned me why” but HAHAHA MUST BE THE WIND)
Anyways here’s a snippet of my fic
"I saved China. No man would reject a woman of such achievement."
"And no man marries a woman who spends her time cross dressing and wielding a sword." She sets her tea down and stares at Beatrice.
Beatrice chances a look at her father, who takes the opportunity to speak his part.
"You were reckless. What are we supposed to do now?" He purses his lips, and Beatrice lets go of the medal, still inside her robes.
I did it for you, I did it for you, she wants to say, wants to scream, and she feels uncharacteristically wild emotion clawing its way up her throat.
an ornithologist pointed a microphone at a bird sitting alone on a wire and caught the sound of the bird singing a song at a decibel so low that it would be impossible for another bird to hear it, meaning the bird was singing quietly to itself I love life
OH MY GOD WHERE ARE THESE PICTURES FROM??
This story wouldn’t let me live my life so I guess it had to be done.
The one where they’re too busy singing love songs to each other to realise they’ve fallen in love.
There’s a playlist and mood-board links on AO3 somewhere. I’m tired now and will sleep.
I DON'T KNOW WHO ON EARTH IS DOING THIS BUT IT IS HILARIOUS
this is absolutely ridiculous. Just a steady line of votes that defies any and all logic. Somebody has been doing this for H O U R S and you have my entire heart. whoever you are, you are my hero and holy moly I hope you aren't doing this manually because that would take an insane amount of effort
OAAAAAAAAA LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK
what a beautiful day to remember that trans people of color exist and deserve better

haha what do you mean i’ve been gone for months no totally not
BUTTT inconsistent posting habits aside here’s an update that you didn’t ask for
so i’ll talk quickly about some life stuff and explaining all my delays, and then i’ll separately post about the rest of my fics and a snippet of an upcoming oneshot. essentially the reason why i slowed down was because during my midterms (and i’ve probably told you guys this already) but since i took off time to study, i got thrown off my momentum and it’s been hard to get inspiration and write after that. However, thanks to my two creative writing assignments (which i wrote fanfics for lolol) i had something to post. now, i’ve got a bunch of ideas i can write (which is great) but i still have to suffer through the rest of this week because i’ve got finals (not great). after i finish school in a week or so, i’ll have more time, but i will be in japan and hong kong, so i don’t know if i’ll still have tons of time. you bet, however, that it will give me HELLA inspiration. but yeah, sorry to suffer you all through a paragraph of absolutely nothing.
:') needed this today after spending too long thinking about death

i just absolutely needed to rant about this because it FILLS ME WITH RAGE so I have a muji eraser. if you've ever bought any stationary from muji you know that stuff is B E A U T I F U L 10/10 I love it. so I have not used this eraser for very long, and only one edge/corner/side was used (it's a block shape). the other corner was perfectly intact and untouched as it should be. i lend this eraser to someone else because he needs it. i SPECIFICASLLY ASK HIM TO ONLY USE THE SIDE I WORE DOWN. guess how it comes back. DESTROYED. MAULED. EVISCERATED. i don't know HOW but he somehow wore down an incredible amount of material just getting marks off of music. worst of all? the sharp corner is gone. A FLAT TRIANGLE. WHY WHY WHY WHY. i nEed to have one corner perfectly untouched and it literally hurts to see it gone. guys. please only use the worn down side when you borrow someone's eraser and don't touch the sharp side. also my mechanical lead pencil got lost after I lent it to someone. both of these things were gifts. PLEASEEEE MY STATIONARY IT HURTS LIKE SOMEONE RIPPED MY HEART OUT.
THEY'RE ADVANCING ON US
my friend is studying for the mcat and was just trying to explain to me about heat transfer and she said ‘you know, like the reason you get cold when you go outside on a freezing day is that your tiny human body is trying to warm up the entire universe’ and i think that’s the best thing i have ever heard
