1 year since i got scammed by nintedno leaving me forever yearning for a game we will never get and an extreme worry for the future

[callmelittlesanshine]

‘The Future Is a Foreign Land’ is making me cry because of the Ghovie but also giving me a quarter life crisis… I don’t want to think about 15 years from now, please!?

(But I adore the song btw)🖤

end of chapter twoooo i remembered i wanted maeglin to start thee/thouing glorfindel in the dark room for maximum creep factor so pretend i've been doing that since we got here

Maeglin stands. He pats Laurefindelë on the head and steps away, ignoring Laurefindelë’s bewildered sputtering. He shuts the window, and picks up the half-empty tray of food, and puts the light on it - “Wait!” Laurefindelë cries, and Maeglin stops with his hand on the doorknob.

Then he can’t figure out what to ask for. Maeglin raises an eyebrow, lit from below like a tale-teller behind a campfire. “Could - couldn’t I come with you?” Laurefindelë tries.

Maeglin smiles in response, and quite softly says, “No,” just as Laurefindelë expected him to. It still hurts. “It’s going to be delicate work. But…” He gestures to the dresser, where - where he’s left a plate of more food. “Thou shouldst eat more than thou hast been. I really will be back soon. Two days, probably. Four if something absolutely ridiculous happens. Thou wilt be perfectly fine.”

And then he leaves. After it closes, the rays of light outlining the door fade, one by one, until Laurefindelë is once again alone in the dark.

hiiii! have you considered releasing tradewinds as a single purchase through a site like gumroad?

Hi anon!

So the reason Tradewinds was shelved and not published like 8 years ago, is because I couldn't find an Aboriginal sensitivity reader willing to read m/m with disturbing themes. I had sensitivity readers for the other side of things (like Matan and his heritage), but I kept either not finding anyone, or the one person I found took my $200 USD deposit and vanished and never spoke to me / responded to any of my emails.

As a result, I was uncomfortable distributing it anywhere broadly, even though I was relatively confident the novel isn't offensive, because I just don't know 100%.

I am a lot more confident releasing it via subscription as an exclusive novel, because the people who pay for subscription are often folks who are a) already used to my style of writing and b) generally know what to expect from me, vs. cold audiences who don't. I'm kind of kicking myself that I didn't realise that Tradewinds would make a great exclusive/paywalled release for subscription, because it means it's only ever going to find a very narrow bandwidth of readers.

Basically if I could release it for single purchase - as basically an ebook - I would have released it like 8 years ago, anon. And the reason I have actually released it this specific way is down to the fact that I'm just not really confident offering it for broader distribution.

That might change one day, if I happen to stumble across a sensitivity reader who is okay with my style of writing, who is reputable + has references (i.e. so I know I won't lose a fair chunk of money in the process, because that burned me pretty badly, not gonna lie). But until then, having Tradewinds be limited is the only way I'm comfortable releasing it at all.

Folks are more than welcome to sign up for one month, download the book (and read any other early access they want) and then leave. They can even just put 'I only wanted one thing and now I have it' in the exit survey so I know what they were there for if they want. Then it's still a single purchase (with some early access extras), and they still access the downloadable file. :)

Disabled people who shit talk their disability (and other disabilities) and think less of themselves if they don’t overcome their disability and are so full of self-hate and even go to social media or television to spread that kind of thought always raise in me some mix feelings.

The first reaction is anger. I’m angry at them for spreading such an abysmal view on disability and other disabled people and basically downgrading all the amazing work real disabled activists do everyday to make us see as humans and for having such horrible thoughts of a community they belong to.

They also trigger a very sensitive spot inside of me and I think they shouldn’t be given a platform to talk in such a way.

But then I try to calm down and rationalise and remind myself that I was in their shoes once.

That is basically internalised ableism which I, as many other disabled people, suffered from for a very long time.

Throughout my childhood and teenage years I would shiver at the idea of ending up in a wheelchair, I prayed that I would be healed and “fixed”, I would cry myself to sleep just to be normal. I hated myself.

I didn’t know any better. My parents didn’t teach me a better view because they didn’t know any better either.

You know what helped me accept and love myself? The disabled community.

All the amazing disabled creators, who talk about this topic in a healthy, empowering way.

So what I think is… disabled people who still suffer from internalised ableism are not our enemies. They are just people who haven’t found this community, who are still processing this difficult reality (and maybe they are newly disabled so that’s even more understandable). They are traumatised, they are suffering from the toxic views the able-bodied society puts on us. They probably don’t have a healthy support system, maybe just family and friends who are pushing them to get fixed, who are telling them to not give up to that kind of life. They think they are unlovable.

So let’s not shit on them. Let’s not insult them because that’s not how they will feel welcome into the community.

Instead, let’s encourage them to change view. Give them positive and empowering disability resources and examples.

"I'm just going to eat a little."

"Just one or two more."

"This really will be the last one," I say as I grab more than one peanut from the bowl.
