I'll be, like, around to answer asks and shit, but my mental health isn't GREAT atm so I doubt I'll be, like, writing anything tbh - unless I feel a bit better/want a distraction from it but I'm not making any promises tbh. I'm gonna link some ask games below, and then just, like, schedule this post over the next week or so.

when Christian Bale survives off of a diet of black coffee and cigarettes, he's a fantastic method actor - when I survive off of a diet of Monster and cigarettes, I'm "severely depressed" and "worrying people". talk abt double standards.

he doesn't even know that his name comes from famed archaeologist Indiana Jones.

Honesty Hour, Ask me anything! Nothing will go unanswered

[mlmxreader]

I love knowing more about fic authors and I get way too excited with ask games, so I limited myself to only three questions

4- Do you save your cut scenes from fics? 20- What made you start writing? 36- Are/were you surprised by your top fic (hits, kudos, comments, anything)

nah, it's okay - if you wanna send more than 3 then absolutely go for it!

4. no, not really lmao

20. I had an English teacher back in year 7; she was a lovely woman, and she genuinely cared abt me and my wellbeing to the point where she wanted to adopt me JUST to get me out of an abusive situation and know I was safe. she was tall, Black, and had the most gentle, reassuring voice that you'd ever hear; and she was a fucking nerd.

she noticed, when I was in her classes, that I had a thing for LOTR, and for stories; so, she started out by making me do what is essentially LOTR fanfiction as creative writing. she inspired me, and she inspired me to the point where even TODAY (12 years later), I still think abt the stuff she said to me when I feel like shit abt writing. I still think abt how she was gentle w me, and she showed me what I could do.

she was fantastic, and I would've loved to have gotten back in touch w her and tell her that I'm still writing & that her words to me continue to inspire and continue to provide reassurance... and yeah, yk, also the fact that she always made me feel safe and she tried her best w the limitations that she had, and that for that, I'm thankful and I'll always think abt her kindly, and want nothing but the best for her.

she also did a GREAT impression of Gollum that almost sounded like Andy Serkis himself.

anyway, a few years later, I was doing my GCSEs and a different English teacher, who knew that I had been under the mentorship of my 1st one, pulled me aside when we were working on the poetry unit, bc she noticed that I had a thing for William Blake's stuff. she gave me a collection of his works, said I could write as much as I wanted abt him and she'd mark every piece for me; she was nice, too. once told us as a class that she woke up bc her postman was urinating in her garden, and she once told us abt how she was having an affair w a married man and how that ended up w her jumping naked out of a window and into some bushes.

she was so fucking weird, she was great.

but yeah, it's bc of those 2 that I write, more than anything, and how they didn't need to be asked, they just immediately decided to put me under their wing and show me what I can do.

36. nah. it's an nsfw fic that I wrote, and it's not my most thoughtful or planned out fic, but people always seem to gravitate to nsfw over, like, something that has meaning shfksjfkskgks

[mlmxreader]

10 ⧽. what genre is generally the easiest or most enjoyable for you to write? which is the hardest?

horror, but specifically horror that is defined by the inspiration of Ruggero Deodato; horror that is gory, graphic, and purposefully disgusting so that the point behind it, the actual message, is forced down people's throats. that's the easiest for me, and the most enjoyable.

nsfw stuff is definitely the hardest tbh. I like doing it, but I can't do it unless I'm in a v specific headspace

[mlmxreader]

Do you work on multiple fics at once or only one at a time?

one at a time, unless I get stuck for w.e. reason, then I just do what I can

[mlmxreader]

Do you have a comfort item? Tell us about it!

it's a small steel pendant on a metal chain that contains my old dog, Brian, ashes. I never go anywhere without it.

[mlmxreader]

If you could live anywhere with anyone you want, where would it be and who would you bring?

me and @deejwalker along w @bumblingbee1, Jay & Katie, bc me and Deej could get married in either Switzerland or Sicily for tax purposes and then we'd moved to Burkina Faso bc it's a lovely communist country.

Burkina Faso, since the days of Thomas Sankara, has always been beautiful, and under the leadership of Ibrahim Traoré the country is genuinely flourishing and he's setting foundations that will last for centuries, especially in terms of the anti-colonial shifts, and his work in both Marxism and Pan-Africanism.

failing that for w.e. reason (like if Traoré was assassinated like Sankara & the colonial powers of the West, specifically Europe, destabilised and forced imperialism upon Burkina Faso), I'd go to Cuba with the same people; as a communist country, Cuba is absolutely lovely, and it has a lot of the same foundations that Burkina Faso does, except for the fact that Cuba has been allowed to develop them a little bit more.

or I'd say fuck it & go work in one of North Korea's many national parks and nature reserves; they employ rangers & ecologists to look after those places and to make sure that both the plant & animal populations there are stable and flourishing. so I'd go there.

Hey how you doing?

Weather a little bit softer this days for us, it's nice, can finally walk my dog without the both of us melting and risk for her to hurt her paws :/

hey. I'm alive lmao I had a bit of a mental breakdown, landed in hospital on Friday night in an ambulance, discharged Saturday morning then went to work, so didn't go home until Saturday evening; started work w a new client, little shih tzu named Alfie who is a perfect little gentleman.

so that was nice, he's a nice little dog - i don't usually work w dogs smaller than labradors, but I made an exception bc his owner is a mutual friend, and I'm glad I did bc he was lovely and it was nice to be away from my mental health triggers for a bit.

[mlmxreader]

let's also not pull this fucking shit, neither. you're not helping anyone by going "I'm so sorry :/", it's just fucking performative and rings hollow bc you're literally not adding anything to the original post, and nor are you fucking DOING anything to address racism and hold people accountable for it. "I'm sorry :( fuck racism :(" on a post talking abt racism does NOTHING except fucking virtue signal.

you people (white Brits) need to shut the fuck up abt comparing the UK's online safety act bill to North Korea. it's deeply fucking racist and North Koreans don't exist to be your fucking "WHAT ARE WE? A BUNCH OF ASIANS?" meme. you're acting like a bunch of fucking reform voters (altho there's not much difference btwn labour party & reform voters lmfao), you're racist cunts.
