I really do think there has to be something important happening with my brain chemistry on my latest cocktail of meds at this point because the mysterious executive functioning has not yet dried up even with the summer heat and my having trouble sleeping, which historically has put a real dent in things even when I've been off school. Which is like, more than I even dared to hope for at this point after years of nothing helping at all. If this continues it is literally going to change my life, especially once school starts up again.
That said it is also so so clear that I have many other problems beyond my executive functioning because the thoughts that have me suspecting OCD are still through the roof and only getting worse, as evidenced by the fact that I had on the whole a pretty good brain day even with some setbacks, but hearing a neighbor outside setting off fireworks nearly made me start crying because now I can't stop thinking about one of them burning our house down.

I was just looking through some of my old notes and I came across something that's hilarious (or so I think).
So, obviously I have faeries in my stories. Daleira, Valyarus, and Soren are all noted faeries in Sun and Shadow.
But did you know that the Arcane Rifts has faeries, too? And, in fact, that they're even more important there? (Like faeries as a "species", not just the faerie characters, haha.)
Introducing: Vysio and Rhys! They're respectively faeries of Glavnran's forests and nature in general (with a special propensity toward storms (aka water/electricity/wind/blizzards))!
Anyway, for those without context, my faeries are kinda... conceptual beings of pure magic that create forms for themselves! They're shapeshifters that can be who- and whatever they want.
The SaS faeries are all "gendered"--Soren and Daleira are male/female respectively, but actually! Valyarus wouldn't mind "they/them"! He's just gone by "he" for as long as he's interacted with humans, so it's just what he knows! So feel free to use they/them for him, if it makes you guys happy, haha.
TAR's faeries, however... well, they're not!
(Actually, tragically, Rhys has lived their whole life with male pronouns. I can't really get into it without spoiling stuff, but suffice to say that they're not in a position where they can be themselves.)
Rhys is, well... an absolute gremlin who you shouldn't trust with any degree of authority (and yet they have a LOT of it--).
They'd probably prefer they/it pronouns tbh, but I'd have to get to a point with their character where they'd be able/willing to think of that sort of thing, so. (And let's just say Rhys doesn't appear until book 3, so they're def not getting that any time soon, OOPS!)
And then there's Vysio. My boy Vysio, the entire reason I wrote out everything I have here.
He's kinda just "whatever" with his pronouns. He's an entity of pure chaos (technically, not literally, but he is chaos-leaning!!! 👀) and is as close to your typical fae as my faeries get! He's a major trickster entity who just wants to cause every single problem possible, and gets so, incredibly angry that nobody recognizes him as the terrifying faerie he is! (My poor baby boy, you'll get them next time. 😂)
But, when I was going through my notes, I found the most wonderful thing.
A silly little "joke" that was 100% true.
Vysio would choose the pronouns "cryptid / bitch".
