earl gray and hibiscus for the tea writing asks :D

rey ✨!! my darling, my love!! how are you!! thank you kindly for the ask!! I’m hugging you so very tight ✨💛

earl grey 🤍🫖:

what time of day do you like to write?

I tend to write throughout the day, though I'm not much of a late night writer. I'll jot down lines or ideas, but rarely am I up on my computer at like 3AM. I think my goldilocks zone tends to be around the early afternoon into the evening. By that point, my brain is stretched out and ready to win the stare down between me and my laptop screen.

The one exception to this is I tend to write music more at night!

hibiscus 💖🫖:

what inspired your current WIP?

So I have several (including my secret santa fic muahahaha) but I'll talk about star-stitched!

The biggest inspiration is my own history with OCD (Christ I could make a whole post about my OCD and writing). I wanted to create a story that involved OCD, though wasn’t necessarily just about OCD. star-stitched is the result of that, along with many images, lines, motifs, and scenes that built up in my mind over the course of several months. Some of which were inspired by elements of my own life. A few examples are:

astronomy, specifically quasars, comets, binary stars, stars

the adam project (the final scene w/ the dad)

far from home by sam tinnez

j's lullaby by delaney bailey

orchestral music in general?

my dad's cancer

death (both in my personal life and like conceptually?)

some of my own previous work?

my ambiguous relationship w/ [redacted]

rain

painting in my room

slow dancing in the kitchen with [redacted]

Eventually, the story just became this monster taking up space in the back of my brain, as I worked on earth and moon, until one day I decided to plan it out. It's changed some since then, but it's been rattling around the ole noggin for a while.

Side note: I like to joke I'm the fusion child of Sakuatsu, since I'm a blonde, brown eyed, tall, hypermobile, perfectionist with OCD and several facial moles (and scattered moles all over really) born on March 20th. Bonus, my sisters are twins.

anywho thank you so much for the ask rey!! sprinkling love and kisses on your forehead like stardust 💫💖!!

p.s. the second chapter of star-stitched is coming soon!!

I’m sure it was VERY confusing for Gricko those first few hours (and a little confusing for Cinnamon too)

(( @gricko-grimgrin and @opheliajupiter99 for the wonderful being that is Cinnamon))

“It’s cold." “I know. I know, but we’re going to be alright. Do you hear me? You’re alright now. You’re going to be okay.” “I want to go home.” “We can’t go back home. We’re—we’re orphans now, remember? Nobody’s waiting for us back there.”

im seeing very little coverage (at least on here) about how moo dengs popularity on the internet is leading to her being harassed at the zoo as well as how the khao kheow open zoo has a history of multiple cases of animal abuse for sake of entertainment (tw for the last link specifically- its a video that begins with a few seconds of moo dengs image but shows a baby elephant being stabbed & swat with a stick by a keeper for ‘discipline’).

while im glad that moo deng IS bringing awareness & a new love for pigmy hippos (which have a dwindling suggested 2000-3000 number population in the wild), i think we should also take into account that not all zoos/animal sanctuaries take the best interests of the animals they are supposed to care for to heart- especially ones that put more of a focus on entertaining tourists than caring for their animals.

This post contains some very mild spoilers for hades 2 but:

The other day when confronting the final boss I swallowed spit wrong and had a coughing fit but there is a mechanic in that fight where it doesnt let you pause, so i had to keep pressing buttons while my eyes were watering and I could not keep looking at the screen

Something that always makes me giggle in fics is when they say someone “fell pregnant” bc like…

That’s… that’s such interesting imagery.

Like, I tripped on the rug, & WHOOPS, now I’m pregnant! 🤣

Or like, I’ve heard people say, “they’ve fallen ill” but I don’t feel like it works with pregnancy?? Bc falling ill feels like something contagious, & growing a child is definitely NOT something you can catch by getting sneezed on 😂😂

I genuinely don’t know why people use this phrase, or if maybe it’s just not something that’s used where I’m from, but I always have to pause & laugh a little. It’s not like, a pet peeve or an ick of mine in fics or anything, but it does always amuse me
