Here I go...? Weird timing on my end, but despite a hectic weekend and Monday, I'm feeling chill. So. Reveal time? I hope I do not regret haha... I'm MCalhen (link to AO3). Yup, a couple of you know me bc I like your writing a lot. I'm the bringer of long comments! I'm so sorry, I've deceived you. 😔 Most of my work is currently locked in a collection, so there's not much still public. When I felt apprehensive about my writing last summer, a friend suggested a collection. A few fics will remain in "fic jail", while some might be brought out again if I ever edit them. Some are old and should remain privately archived, and one is a fan theory that has since been disproved. :P (And the Brain fic is also canonically wrong now. Thanks, KH.)

I have four blogs on tumblr but the writing one is @mcalhenwrites (also my main, so sometimes I reblog stuff to it, but I'm not active in fandoms lately) I do have a crochet blog that I seldom use and deleted nearly everything off of a couple of years ago. It's @mcalhencreations if anyone is interested... I currently only have one twitter account, it's for my writing. I keep deleting my fandom accounts on there. I'd remake one if I could transfer my massive block list. I have a goodreads that currently only gets used for reading, even though I am an "author" (and of my four books, only three are listed under this name and only my two attempts at erotica are even still for sale).

If you want to read the antithesis to Vivian's parenting, I have Wandering Souls. Sibling fluff? Language of Flowers. Rascal might be off-putting due to all the kink, but I assure you it has heartwarming moments, sibling bonding (takes some time to get there tho), and daddy issues. It's also complete, tho I have side stories and AUs I'm tinkering with~ I've got some more original work posted on my pillowfort, but I don't remember what bc it's been forever since I used it... Most of my other original writing hasn't been published yet, but I'm working on the edits for self-publishing my novel, Geckos, Automata. If you want a comprehensive list of my stories that are in progress, I miiiight type one up on google docs? (Not on tumblr. It gets mad if I make long posts.) I have an expansive dragon universe that covers several novels. The most recent I've been working on is called The Dragons' Cosmos, though Seasons sort of put it on hold. It's fantasy/scifi, and there are dragons, but also people. In fact, abuse is a pretty common theme in that series. Wayne is worse than Vivian, fortunately his son succeeds in running away - off the planet, in fact~ Feel free to peruse my bookmarks on AO3 or my read list on goodreads, there are damn good authors in there. ;) (Do not be surprised if I delete this in a fit of anxiety! Might be "too late" but that won't stop me.)

writing out the name of the emoji instead of inserting said emoji will always be funny to me

[tvonq]

average ow enjoyer calling u a slur in the chat when all u did was ask the tank to pls take cover for a SECOND for heals <3

see when it comes to facial expressions i am a firm believer in emoticon supremacy! like i can go :D and you know what i mean! and i can go :DDDDD and you know it means it eVEN MORE! you can control the intensity and i think that’s the best part about them :))))

also the fact that :) and :> and :] all have different connotations. if i send :) to you, run.

also combinations of eyebrows and other facial details. >:) and :’) being some of my favorites

but the one thing i do like about emojis is that it works really well for expressing like. Not Face Emotions?? like there’s a difference between saying “nice” and “✨nice✨” so emojis work really well for that. and like gestures too! 👆some chill! 👌 🙏🤝 and some not :) 🖕🫵

i think the funniest thing is using emoticons and emojis in conjunction like ;) ✨

like there’s just a Vibe there it’s great

gonna post a controversial take alright are y’all ready??

…

actually typing out emoticons like XD and :D and :V never should have gone out of fashion and you can pry them out of my cold dead hands okay I know emojis are fun but THEY DON’T CAPTURE THE EMOTION IN THE SAME WAY

so like

…yeah that was basically it, thanks for reading
