[YOU ENCOUNTER A PRAYING MANTIS. WHAT DO YOU SAY?]

INTRO

Hello! Welcome to my blog!

• Mantis / Sadist / Buggy • He / She / They / It / Bug (more found here) • Sixteen (July 19th)

ABOUT

This is a blog dedicated to writing. I want to broaden my horizons in terms of literature, and I think tumblr would be a great tool to utilize for that desire of mine. Here, I can find literature enjoyers of all kinds. Romance, Horror, Sci-fi, historical, fiction, non-fiction. I think literature is an incredibly powerful tool that can be used to convey so much. I personally love, love, love writing that dives into psychology, especially topics like mental health, morality, etc. I can’t get enough of it. It’s such a powerful tool you can utilize in writing if you know what you’re doing. It saddens me there isn’t enough. Next year I plan on going into AP Psychology for my senior year, and I hope to go into psychology for college and become either a clinical psychologist or a research psychologist.

In terms of this blog, you may use it for all sorts of things. It can be where you can send me writing of yours or others and wish for me to review it overall (grammar, execution, etc.), you can send me asks about writing and literature, send me recommendations of things you think I may like, it’s mostly up to whoever reads this. In terms of what I’ll do with it, I may use it to post my own writing, I may use it to analyze writing, I may use it to post guides, I may use it as some sort of portfolio, it will likely have multiple uses.

RULES / DNI

This section is going to be a little long, but please bear with me here. On this account, I do not plan on having a definitive DNI. Because of how complex psychology is, I want to do my best to understand everyone. I’m willing to subject myself to writing I’m unfamiliar with, and I’m willing to subject myself to writing that makes me uncomfortable or challenges my thinking. This does NOT mean that you can abuse this power though. I will still block people as I please for whatever I feel is best for me. In terms of rules, I have a few boundaries I feel need to be set. 1. I am a minor. Please do not send me content meant for adults. For further elaboration on the topic, look here. 2. If I make mistakes, please tell me. If I say something upsetting tell me. if I say something offensive, please tell me. I love to read media, not minds. Please communicate any issues you have respectfully. 3. All opinions here are my own. You don’t have to agree with me on certain things. I don’t have to agree with you. I’m more than willing to engage in polite conversations about differing view points. 4. Don’t spam my asks, please. Reblogging and liking is one thing, but I would like to reserve my asks for more put together content and spamming would get in the way of that.

I will add to this list if I need to. I plan to keep this account DNI free but will put one in place if I feel it’s needed. Please don’t ruin this account for others and push me to such a point.

On the topic of 18+ media, if this account is still around and active by the time I become an adult, I would like to clarify that this account will still be friendly for all ages. If there is any sort of adult content posted/talked about on this account, it will be properly tagged and censored.

Oh I forgot to say.

Bug (4) is going to start school now so we’ve been doing literacy practice. One set of exercises was about “opposites” and I drew a card reading “fat”. Ok what’s the opposite of fat.

Bug thought about it and then said dreamily: “meat.”

Lestat could have said, "Put your coffin on a boat. Go to Paris. There's a beautiful coven there, I know cos I fucking founded it." But he said the vampires out there are vicious. And then I met the mοthеrfսckеr, and, yeah, Lestat was right. It was better when he broke my bones, crammed me under the floorboards. I fought him, kicked him, clawed him, bit him. That was fine. It was when he had me pinned, and he'd tell me he loved me. Before, during, and after. Before, during, after. That fսckеd me up. One day he said, "Had enough of your gloomy face." Drove off on a motorbike. Thought I might as well go home, get Louis, head to Europe.

Angry Bugs!

Bug Fact: The origin of the word "bug" is still unknown. Linguists suggest it came from the Middle English term bugge ("something frightening"). Likely connected to Scottish bogill ("goblin"), Low German budde ("louse, grub"), and Welsh bwg ("ghost").

Sometime during the VDC training camp, when everyone on team Night Raven is sleeping over at Ramshackle Dorm:

Ramshackle Dorm has no shortage of spare rooms, but their condition is another story. You've managed to get enough of them decently clean. They're not as nice as your room, which has had far more time invested in it and is well lived in, but your groupmates should be able to spend a few days at the dorm without issue and are more than free to tidy up rooms as they please.

Yet on one of the first nights, you hear the door of your room creak open. It's dark and you can't see the intruder, though you know it's not one of the ghosts. The approaching footsteps aren't as heavy as Grim's, even after he's cleared out the entire fridge in one sitting. You're also pretty confident Grim is fast asleep beside you.

"Hello?" You groggily lift your head and call out to the intruder. If it's anything malicious, you hope the ensuing scuffle will cause enough noise to wake everyone else up.

A weight pushes the edge of your mattress down and there's a gentle touch at your shoulder. "Prefect, do you mind if I spend the rest of the night here?"

"Jamil?"

You almost don't recognize him in the dark with his hair down. You feel around for a bedside light. Grim groans in his sleep when it clicks on and turns over, shielding his eyes with tiny arms.

Jamil looks exhausted. "Please, I'd really appreciate if you could let me sleep here tonight."

"Yeah, sure. Of course." Maybe it's the sleep addling your brain or your trust in Jamil. You see no reason to turn down his request and didn't question why he was coming to you instead of Kalim. You nudge Grim over to make room for one more on the bed.

The vice housewarden does his best to fit in the cramped sleeping conditions, assuring "I'll pay you back for this. Thank you."

He's turned towards the wall, back touching your side so that he doesn't fall. You wait to make sure he's fully secure in bed before turning off the light. In the calm that follows, you notice he's almost imperceptibly shaking. Sure, the dorm is cold, but not that cold. Especially with three in one bed.

"Jamil, are you okay?" The longer you spend awake, the more concerning this whole situation feels.

"I'm fine. Goodnight, Prefect." Jamil already has his eyes shut and seems adamant about not discussing things further.

"Okay... Goodnight."

You lay down and silence settles over the room once more. It's really warm between your two friends. Sleep is quick to catch up to you, you find yourself nodding off within minutes of your head touching the pillow.

Before you fully drift off, Jamil turns to face you. His hair drapes over the side of the bed and he places a hand on your pillow, lightly grazing your cheek.

"Thanks again," he whispers. "I feel a lot better with you here. Your room doesn't have bugs on the wall."

Simon would love a little freak (affectionate) of a partner. Like you collect weird things, like taxidermy or bones? Say less, babes. He's getting you an animal skull for your birthday.

Is your thing clowns? Man is scouring the internet for some obscure clown clock because you saw it on Ebay once and complained about the price.

You likes bugs? Great, he's got a friend named Roach. Y'all be freaks (affectionate) together. But also he's building you a butterfly garden, or buying you a pet spider, or whatever.

It doesn't even have to be weird. You could just really like the ocean, or horses, or whatever. And I just realized what I'm getting at is that Simon would love a neurodivergent partner...

And he would!! He'd listen to you ramble and rant, and he'd be making a mental list of things to look for when he buys you presents. You could be hyperfixated on literally anything, and Simon would find a way to get you a present related to that interest. This man would move heaven and earth, if it meant making you happy.

I have recently acquired this "rabbit" and we can't decide what to name her. She is a Jersey Wooly and everything in the world sticks to her fur.

She looks like shit right now but don't worry I'm brushing her every couple days and making sure she has plenty to eat. When I rescued her she was matted and a little under weight, but that's all being taken care of.
