19. First fandom you wrote for?

doctor who........ i was like. god idek. fifteen? maybe younger i straight up don't remember <- also none of this is on ao3 this was like, back in my ff.net days and i don't think i even remember my login lmao

20. Favourite fic you’ve written?

hmm hm hm. okay. probably because i fear i'm lost. just bc like... idk i'm proud of how it turned out and i'm really . idk. happy with the reception it got. i'm happy it reached people who can relate to it. and it's short enough that there's not like, enough space for there to be parts where i just have to force myself to write stuff i'm not 100% happy with to fill in the gaps. if that makes sense

Urgghhhh. I do not enjoy My Job.

[nei-ning]

I had to contact nurse via online, telling her that my depression medications are not working anymore (haven't in weeks) so because of this a doctor will call me on Monday. I think only options are to increse the dose (last time it helped only for 2 days), change the medicine or stop taking the pills. But I know more on Monday.

"Our thing connects to an app!!!"

Ah... I hate it

[erythristicbones]

ive had such a grueling creative block i haven't written or drawn anything in a month and. it's so frustrating. bc i decided to bring back an old oc of mine and rework her story and she's all i can think about. i want to work with her so bad

[leefi]

im getting infused

[dandyshucks]

the physical exhaustion so bad that i can barely hold and move a pen/pencil VS my need to express the love i have for my guy. battle of the ages.

[raksh-writes]

Maybe this doesn’t need to be said, but Im feeling awful about it, so -- to any mutuals that might notice Im not following them anymore, I'm sorry about that. I've just seen too many posts on my dash that I have no way of blocking because they're not tagged in any way and they're distressing enough it's turning one of the only places I considered a safe space not safe for me anymore. So for my own mental health, I had to unfollow. I Will refollow in the future and I still love y'all, but I just-- I can’t. Ive been noticing some very worrying stuff about my mental and emotional state and it's just too much currently. I hope it's at least an understandable decision, and I wish y'all are having a good day out there 💗

[thediktatortot]

Don't mind me, I'm just fucking depressed

[thatdeshigirl]

the fact that my exams finish on the 8th and then i have boards again from the 30th for like 2 months and AFTER THAT i have to prep for my admissions

[astranauticus]

ok i have like five hundred other art ideas that are like higher priority to me personally but ive been playing project sekai for a couple of weeks and honestly. dont be surprised if some day i end up putting vivid bad squad fanart on your dash just bc im so enamoured by the hair colour situations that shiraishi an and aoyagi toya have going on

[mexashepot]

I'm surviving purely out of spite at this point

[omegapheromone]

Me in very obviously menhera kei-themed clothes, in a completely filthy nest, currently gulping down mood stabilizers and painkillers, fighting self-destructive urges: wdym mental illness I'm totally fine, never been better actually.

[tarantula-hawk-wasp]

I miss writing fan fiction

[twistedappletree]

i’m actually super overwhelmed by the asks i still need to get to lmao I’m sO

[deepwoundsandfadedscars]
