And everything changed the day I started posting on here. I have made many, lifelong friends that I’m eternally grateful for.
There are people on here that have made this life thing a little easier just by existing and creating strung together words and art that I am in constant awe of.
I’m just going to name a few that immediately come to mind but please know that I appreciate every interaction anyone has ever had with me and my words.

This is @randomlyjay fan fiction/poetry I found in my email drafts… Why’s it hiding there? The inspiration to the piece is long forgotten, written on 22 April 2022 and published now b’cuz a Jay has started worrying about @fakesurprise and that can not be a good sign… here goes…
In a moment of lucidity,
unawares of my overhearing,
surveilling a state of mind
of another kind,
you said you saw fifty shades of Jay
and it scared you stiff;
In that moment of lucidity,
you had found a truth most profound,
a truth about a Jay hushed and often silenced
by those in charge: three men in black, or the fae;
In that moment
you signed the book of the dead
as spoken by the three witches of the Nay:
a jay does not have a shadow,
a Jay stands in the light, alone and Jaysome,
maybe asking for a Charlie's whereabouts
or a Honcho's advice on
everything
BUT!
always Jaysome and
always without shadows
of a doubt.
One moment the Ambassador and I had been looking at his homeworld and discussing the finalisation of the trading agreements our teams had negotiated. The next - we were looking at Earth. I hadn’t felt us jump, but we’d moved 5 Billion Light Years in a blink.
I sighed and spun around to face my visitor; a small grinning 11 year old framed against the Earthlight of Icarus’ Observation lounge. "Hello Jay - to what do we owe the pleasure?"
"It’s me and I’m doing a helping and and a visiting - cos Icarus hasn’t been home in ages and ages."
"It’s been less than a month, Jay.” Icarus replied
"But I have jaysome news, @fakesurpise is letting lots of people be Jay’s for a whole month and write their own adventures. Look … He twirled … I made a new coat with enough colors for everyone and lots and lots of pockets for me to keep their adventures in."
I framed the question carefully, this particular 11 year-old boys has been known to misundertand. "Are you sure @fakesurprise wants lots of people writing #AdventuresInJay for a whole month, it sounds like a recipe for an oops."
"That’s ok, I backed up the universe in case there was an oops."
"Jay, what do ypu mean you backed up the universe?” Icarus always says I’m a natural worry-wart, and my thoughts go towards the power involved in a literal backing-up; of an 11 year-old Jay reversing time across the entire Universe and I shudder; mentally composing a message to Charlie
"I spoke to the Multiverse and they said they were already lots of copies, but couldn’t give me one because they were already for people and adventures; so I made another one, but even tho my pockets are bigger on the inside, I had to huggify the universe a lot to get it to fit. But now we have a spare universe just in case we need it, and I even made a binding so it wouldn't go BANG too soon."
Jay proudly twirled around, spinning his new coat until the colours blurred and became inky night speckled with stars that were galaxies that were made up of stars that were also galaxies made up of stars that were galaxies and …it just kept resolving deeper and deeper like those old fractal gifs. I felt like I was falling into endless spinning night.
My vision blurred, and eyes and my head both ached before I managed to pull my gaze away.
"Have you shown Charlie?" I asked.
"Not yet, I wanted Icarus and you to see it first - I better go and show her too. See ya."
“Jay" … too late … he was gone; "Icarus, please jump us back to the Ambassadors homeworld."
…
"You know the Jay?" queried the Ambassador
"Yes, we’re well acquainted." I laughed. "It’s quite the adventure whenever he takes me away from my regular duties."
"We have legends … but to actually meet him at this age in particular - it exceeds all the stories. I think we can forgo further formalities - I’m happy to sign the treaty - with our new friends.”
Hi. Same anon with the "any tips for new Tumblr users to get their posts seen." question. Sorry to bother you again, but would you have any recommendations for writing blogs to follow? I just posted a fic, a master list for characters I have, and one character post I did for an example, if you want to see it that way, on the new blog.
I write about my characters and a fic if I am interested in the fandom enough, although I won't have many fics as I don't have much access to that. I do have plenty of original characters I can work with though. One note I would have to list is the blog has to be LGBT friendly as nearly all of mine are LGBT. I have only 13 characters who are cis and heterosexual out of my entire list. So it's important that they are LGBT friendly.
Hey! Sorry for my delayed reply, I've just had little free time over the last few days.
Oof there are so many blogs on here I could recommend and I'd never be able to get them all into this one ask! I follow mostly poetry blogs, I don't think so many people posting fics. @fakesurprise comes to mind though! They be cool and talented. I can also recommend as talented and wonderful people (just a few of the large number I follow) @alexandraswritingblock, @simply-eno, @elvedon, @mikefrawley, @dhritkavya-rasayana, @meaningfallpoetry, @whereflowersbloom, @sagedigger, @definegodliness, @imperiallefty, @smakkabagms, @enslavedmind.
I'll admit I don't know the views of all these people regarding LGBT+ folks, but most if not all of them I've been mutuals with for years and have yet to notice any sentiments of bigotry towards any kinds of people. I wouldn't follow them if they did express those sorts of views.

fakesurprise:
you told me a story how
the sun loved the water
how the moon was made
to reflect a small piece
of their ancient love
i asked: why clouds?
you said: you’ll know
when you’re older but
i do not understand
not my dreams not
the clouds and never
the storm in my soul
that echoes again
