decided arbitrarily that it would only be current things I'm watching or have watched within the last month bc how can one possibly narrow it down otherwise!!!

here are some tags, non obligatory!!!! @spurious @ametrinember @topazera @onepetal @dngrcpckwithmurdericing @blindmouse

[andchimeras]

A game! A poll with my 5 favourite fictional characters. Idk who's going to vote on it, but I do the thing for you @dngrcpckwithmurdericing 💖

Do the thing if you would like to do the thing 😊

@megafaunatic tagged me so:

5 no skip albums!!

hard mode: no mountain goats albums bc every mountain goats album is a no skip album

1. Bronco by Orville Peck

As Lore said, I love Orville Peck's persona and performance as a character. All the outfits are amazing, and he has such a beautiful singing voice. Also his chest piece is truly a top surgery mood.

2. Sports by Modern Baseball

As far as my favorite albums go, this one is a sleeper cell. I always forget how hard it goes until I listen to an old playlist and remind myself.

3. Stick Season by Noah Kahan

Maybe it's the novelty since it just came out, but I listened to this enough between when it came out (October) and when Spotify wrapped came (December) out for almost the whole album to be on there.

4. Evermore by Taylor Swift

I am not a swiftie in the slightest but she really did go off w folklore and evermore. this is one of 2 CDs I had in my old car with no Bluetooth or aux capability.

5. Rearrange Us by Mt Joy

The 2020 SOUNDTRACK I'm telling you. Strangers was my absolute anthem when I went through a rough patch with one of my best friends.

and as a bonus: Perséides by Coeur de Pirate. I'm calling it a bonus bc it's instrumental and doesn't fit the theme I have going here but it's so beautiful and moving and you should go listen to it right now.

I'm tagging @chevalric , @serenity-the-firefly (even tho idk if you'll resonate w this), @thesuninperigee , and @dngrcpckwithmurdericing ! 💕

@dngrcpckwithmurdericing asked: my duuuuuude! for the meme: please tell me all the things you love about writing original fiction! i'm so excited to read what you write, and i wanna hear more about how much you love it and what you love about doing it :) :) :) xx

ahh thank you so much for this question and your kind words!!! 😭 it’s hard to put my finger on what, exactly, I love about writing original fiction. I had to think about this a lot, so please forgive any pretentiousness in this answer.

 I was recently talking to @straykind​ about how reading an amazing work of art feels like the writer is reaching out a hand and inviting us to try and write as well... writing can be so lonely but there’s also a kind of community in it, because you’re creating a world and connecting to readers. I love making things that I love, such as writing about nature or writing a relationship with banter and people who grow and change together. 

I also frankly sometimes write out of spite, like yes I’m going to write about disability, yes I’m going to write about seattle the way countless writers write about NYC, yes i’m going to write about folks like the queer punks i ran with in college, yes i want you to understand how salmon is a keystone species and this greenery is built on death, etc. sometimes i write something as a response or reaction, like wow...this concept was so cool and you fumbled it as hard as possible, this is how i would handle it. I love writing as defiance and writing as stewardship and writing as art, as honoring and cherishing something the way Garth Greenwell describes in this essay about why he writes gay sex.  

when you write about something you make it real and sometimes it feels necessary and important to write about trauma and recovery this way, and to look at people with deep tenderness. once i went through all of the comments i’ve amassed on my fanfic over 11+ years of writing it and over and over again the comments said the same thing: these stories were written with care and compassion for the characters. which, i suppose, has always been my mission and my project: to look at someone’s terrible choices, the tragic things they’ve been through, and their joy, their laughter, their deep inner world, because it is a way to acknowledge everyone’s humanity. or perhaps more accurately not just acknowledge but to memorialize. to say you’ve made it, you’re here. i think this is why so many of my stories are about memory.

this is also why I’ve always been drawn to underworld stories. memory is a kind of underworld that we’re constantly navigating because it lays on top of the present. memory makes our world. i love writing stories that are cathartic in this way; I value stories that function as safe spaces to experience emotion the world tries to pack away. everyone has their own katabasis and their private horror and joys but when you write or read you’re united with the world. writing is a way to process, sure, a way to stay sane, a way to tell amazing stories, but it can also be an act of love. 💜
