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
OAAAAAAAAA LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK
what a beautiful day to remember that trans people of color exist and deserve better
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
THEY'RE ADVANCING ON US
love will always find you. Both threat AND promise
when you find a fanfic writer whose work just sings to you… i would read anything you write…. i would wade into a tag no matter how deranged… i would travel to the ends of the earth for you if only to soothe your little oyster shell just so you would be comfortable enough to make another pearl whenever you felt like it … i would love you tenderly and support you as you carefully place every grain of sand onto your little castle, regardless of how long it takes, if only to enjoy your words just a little longer
AVATRICE FOR THE WIN

You can fight AI in indie publishing by leaving reviews.
Seriously.
Ai-generated garbage is flooding the self-publishing market. It works as a numbers game- put out ENOUGH fake crap and eventually someone’s aunt will buy them the ebook as an unwanted gift, and you’ll have made two dollars. This tactic works at SCALE, which means real independent titles are now a needle amongst a haystack of slop.
If you have read a book this year that has less than 5 reviews, your rating is an algorithmic spotlight on that needle.
A one sentence review helps. Really. A star rating helps if you really can’t think of anything to say, but if you can muster up even “I laughed at the part about the tabby cat” you are doing indie authors a favor like you cannot believe.
(Also if you left a review on one of my books this year I am kissing you so softly on your forehead and I adore you)
Trump is probably going to remove the TikTok ban shortly after his inauguration and secure a chunk of the youth vote.
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.
hey op,
WHAT THE FUCK THIS IS INCREDIBLE
Made an arcane fan animation hehe
