!! Intro !! (updated)

Hello everyone, my name is PearlescentMoon

Hihi! I'm Pearl! Magic is quite a fine name aswell. Although I'm a man of many names ;)

I am a minor, my gender labels are gendervoid verinix, tho I also ID as bigender and ftm (fem presenting tho! not transmasc, just trans man)! I'm queer, leaning on mlm, tho I also like girls here and there.

I go by He/Xe. I can She/Her myself + close friends/mutuals are allowed, but refrain from doing so without explicit permision please. (I also use neos: Void/Moon/Sweet/It/Fluff/Love/Fizz/Paw)

I'm from Argentina, born and raised, never moved. Speak fluent english and spanish.

I'm autistic and I have ADHD aswell as BPD and a few other things I wont list right now! But yeah I'm psychotic (ooo scary word.. lmao)

Matching with @teapot-of-tyrahn !!

I'm an IRL of many, mainly c!Pearl (mcyt), c!Magic(outsmp+psmp), Samuel Emily (fnaf [games canon]) and Shin Tsukimi (yttd). If you don't like it you can leave, block me, or whatever, cause you aint gonna change my life or how I am. I'm in therapy, which unlike random hate and harrassment online, does help me :)

I like to stream, roleplay, draw, sometimes make playlists or moodboards.. And my biggest interests right now are the Outsiders SMP, The Hatchetfield Musicals, Life Series and Empires 1.

I use kin tags for reach cause I'd love interaction from any mediamates!! Specially from Outsiders <3

Fictionkins, therians and traumagenic systems all welcome!

- -💥-🐺-🌙- -❤️- -💛- -✨-💥-✨- -💛- -❤️- -🌙-🐺-💥- -

DNI prefferably:

- Basic DNI criteria (proshippers, homophobes, transphobes, racists, TERFs, ableist, etc)

- Endos/non-traumagenic "systems" DNI. block me if u want, i wont argue abt it in the comments/reblogs. or interact if u want but im not gonna follow u back or anythin shrugs.

- reality checkers or anti-IRLs DNI. I aint "romanticizing" shit, I'm existing and living my life, if thats a problem to you too bad cause my psychologist aproves of what I'm doing, since I aint harming anyone and I myself am doing dandy.

- anti-kin also DNI cause most of my friends are fictionkins and if you talk shit abt my fellas idk i wouldnt like having u around much

CCs I'd rather if you didn't interact, but if you shall do so anyways, do so at your own risk, you've been warned. /lh

- -🪸-🐸-🌙- -💙- -🩵- -✨-🪸-✨- -🩵- -💙- -🌙-🐸-🪸- -

"Disclaimer"

- I talk about MajorMoon (Scott x Pearl) a LOT, if u didnt notice by the acc theme. These are my romantic memories, its a gay ship, not woman/gay man, so if it makes u uncomfortable or u hate it or whatever then ur probably not gonna like my content lmao. COUGH, consider joining us if you do like what you see... /nf We're a small comunity of supporters.. just me.. and a few of my peeps... that was a joke, sir. /ref

- This isn't roleplay, its my main acc where im ""unapologetically"" myself, but if u do wanna rp outsiders/life series/empires/fnaf u can always shoot me a dm and maybe I'll give u my discord.

- I talk about myself (c!Pearl) using 3rd person in many posts tagged with main fandom tags. This is to cause less confusion to casual fans slash ""normies"" (lhj) that well.. don't know what IRLs are! Also that way I feel safer and don't have to worry as much abt getting harassed and such for my identity.

[amostdelectablescribbler]

Saw this idea from this guy: @tea-and-mercury who reblogged this guy: @thesoftestofpetals

the WIP weather ask game. I may do this twice for both wips

Rain 💧: the most emotional scene you’ve ever written

idk, i have a few, but i think it’d be Becca’s mental breakdowns. I got pretty detailed in ‘em as she has my flavour of depression, ptsd, and anxiety. Snow ❄️: coldest/most stoic character

(Rah Rah) Rasputin (lover of the russian queen). He only gets angry in kne scene and j wrote it as a horror scene cos this man is 3 feet wide at the shoulder, 6’7”, 170kg of pure muscle in a giant juggernaut suit (cod:mw style)

sleet 🌨️: the most i’ve ever written in one sitting

2000 words in about a 3 hours

sun ☀️: favourite bit of my wip:

i gotta say it’s my scene in which Rasputin gets angry and the Wolf (secondsry antagonist) gets offed. Very violent, 3 chapters long

Fog 🌫️: hardest thing to write

convincing romantic dialogue

wind 💨: the easiest thing to write

fight scenes just come easy to me, ‘cause i do martial arts and watch martial arts shows (a la baki)

tornado 🌪️: my most impulsive character:

Claudia and by far. I’ll do a wip intro for this eventually using the prologue and some extra stuff, but she’s the fiery one

Wildfire 🔥: my most emotional character

is Becca, sadly. She doesn’t have much control over it tho.

clear skies 🌌: how long have you been writing? STHI has been in the works for about a year and a half now? But i’ve written for as long as i could type

cloudy ☁️: what inspired my current WIP

i got 2, so STHI was a mix of Rango, Cyberpunk 2077 and Mad Max Fury Road and Beast Among Men

Lightning ⚡️: have i ever added something spontaneously?

Yes. I got bored so i added a lil guy called the Flotsam

Drought 🌵: how do you deal with writers block?

(Dramatic inhalr) i write with a cocktail or i just don’t write

Flood 💦: how many wips do you have?

2, and like 8 on the shelf

Hurricane 🏝️: do you work 1 wip at a time or bounce between wips?

The latter, but i try to commit more time to one

Landslide⛰️: which wip has the most worldbuilding?

One is 31k words, the other is 2k words, but i think per density, thr long ons still wins

Earthquake 💥: which wip has the least worldbuilding?

The 2k one. Beast Among Men

Tsunami 🌊: where and when do you like to write?

Lte at night in my bed

Volcano 🌋: your biggest flaw as a writer?

I’m not a fair judge of that.

Rainbow 🌈: what makes your story unique/stand out?

One is a Cyberpunk Mad Maxy western, the ither is a martial arts anime about domestic terrorism with magic and no animation, just words.

Eclipse 🌒: what’s the most recurring theme in your writing/wip ?

Losing control of your emotions is scary for everyone involved. Don’t do it.

Fuck this is a long one. MUTUALS I SUMMON THEE LIKE Dark Souls SUMMONS: @forg-plushie @etherealatheling @perilous-prologue @squarebracket-trick @silverslipstream @stesierra @macabremoons @lyutenw

Here's ya about seven "Draw Fours" thrown down on top of each other bay-beeeee 😂🤯🤣🃏💩 Every night we played a different game including one that Cissy brought with her up to the cabin which had these crazy little wooden blocks with different colors and shapes on them. You had to align them in a certain order but she was not able to actually see said shapes & colors untiiiil we brought out my handy dandy headlight which was a literal game changer 💡🔦💪😛🫠 We got to go down the mountain & hang out in Gatlinburg feasting on some Best Italian and living large in Pigeon Forge while doing some moonshine tastings 🚀🎆😈 Even got to go out and do some hiking on a beautiful afternoon as the sun was going down and the moon was coming up 🌜⛰️🚶💨💜 This was about the perfect way to start off a New Year y'all.

The Best News of Last Week — September 5, 2022

⛰️ — Hope you had a great weekend. Let’s start the week with some positivity

1. Painting one wind turbine blade can reduce bird fatalities by 72%

Each year, turbine blades kill hundreds of thousands of birds and bats. As wind power becomes more prevalent, this number may rise into the millions.

A simple paint job can save birds from wind turbines, a small study in Norway showed. Researchers picked four pairs of adjacent turbines. One turbine in each pair was painted, while the other was left white. For three and a half years, they counted how many birds were killed by each turbine. They then compared these counts with the number of birds that had been killed by those same turbines in the years prior to the study. Painting one blade of a wind turbine black reduced bird mortality by over 70%.

2. The 16 plains Bison released into Banff national park, Canada in 2017 have grown into a herd of at least 85.

Banff’s bison herd has grown to between 85 and 90 animals after 16 bison calves were born in the spring.

Parks Canada officials say the herd is doing well. “Overall, the bison are doing well in the 1,200 square kilometer re-introduction zone,” said Kat Trivers, strategic communications advisor for Parks Canada, in a statement.

Bison, considered a keystone species that help hold an ecosystem together, were absent from Banff National Park for about 160 years before being brought back

3. Unmarried Partners, Queer Relationships Constitute Family: Supreme Court of India

“Familial relationships may take the form of domestic, unmarried partnerships or queer relationships”, the Supreme Court has observed, while noting that an ‘’atypical” manifestation of a family unit is as real as its traditional counterpart and deserves protection under the law.

The observations are significant as activists have been raising the issue of recognising LGBT marriages and civil unions as well as allowing live-in couples to adopt after the apex court decriminalised homosexuality in 2018.

4. Thirty-six rescued beagles sent from illegal research facility to Chicago

Thirty-six one-year-old female beagles arrived at the Anti-Cruelty Society in Chicago, Illinois. The dogs were checked and immunized after being freed from inhumane breeding and research at “Envigo.

5. Man builds benches for bus stops after seeing woman sitting in dirt

James Warren was walking in his Denver neighborhood when something gave him pause. “A woman was waiting for the bus, sitting in the dirt. And I was like, ‘Oh man, that sucks.’ That’s not dignified at all. We need to be doing better by our fellow city members,” Warren told CBS News. “And so, I thought, ‘I could do something about that, I can build a bench.’” That moment led him on a mission to help his community.

Warren found some scrap wood, thanks to construction sites in his neighborhood with piles of discarded wood. And, because his dad builds homes, he grew up around tools — he knew he had the basic skills needed to build a bench.

6. Gender Queer Graphic Novel Ban Dismissed as Unconstitutional in Virginia

A Virginia district judge dismissed an obscenity lawsuit filed in that state against Maia Kobabe and Oni-Lion Forge using a Virginia law that went into effect earlier this year that could have had Kobabe’s acclaimed graphic novel memoir, Gender Queer, ruled “obscene” and banned from sale in the state.

The judge determined that the new law violated not only the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, but also the Constitution of Virginia itself.

7. ‘I’ve been able to dream big’: 62-year-old Canadian becomes oldest woman to summit K2 in Pakistan

Belarusian-Canadian Liliya Ianovskaia holding a Belarusian national flag at the K2 peak in Pakistan on July 22. Ianovskaia, now 63, said she took up mountaineering at the age of 50.

Liliya Ianovskaia, not only managed to successfully summit Mount Everest in Nepal, she went on to climb two more mountains above 8,000 metres just weeks after.
