I finally (got help) slapping Wordpress into shape and Runaway to the Stars is now releasing as a public webcomic! Thank you so much for your support over the years, and sticking with me while I'm slowly chewing my way through this book. I'm very excited to share this story! It'll be updating every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday thanks to the massive Patreon backlog. Patreon will continue to update as I finish pages, which happens on a sporadic non-schedule.
If you experience bugs with the site report them to me. Some things may occasionally break, as coding problems tend to be a very "whack-a-mole" affair; and I'm still getting used to the interface.

Hi I'm spitting out biology (and a liiiiitle bit cultural) musings more of them. These guys are actually terrestrial holothurians (sea cucumbers). I'm putting my stonks into echinodermata we have to believe in their Powers to evolve new and exciting shapes.
The people who keep symbiotic fish in their tentacles call themselves Anemones, while the ones that reject the fish as parasites and wear shell-like hats over most of their tentacles call themselves Nautilus. In the modern day there is an increasing population of those who consider themselves neither of these things but due to the history of these two cultures there isn't a widely accepted colloquial name for the species as a whole.
They're not cnidarians so they don't possess stinging cells, but they produce a thick venomous mucous from their tentacles that causes paralysis and inflammation on contact for various other animals. They evolved as social ambush predators that would jump on their prey and slather this mucous over them to subdue them. Their ideal diet is like 60% meat and 30% fruits, with bonus whatever the fuck else they feel like eating as a treat.
The venomous mucous may have been what initially started the Nautiluses' practice of covering most of their tentacles, along with protection from the sun and aerial predators. They have a long history as a multi-species people, and keeping contact venom just exposed around your loved ones without resistance to it is just plain dangerous. These days it's more of a visual identification and religious thing though.
These guys don't have real eyes, but are covered in light sensing cells all across their skin. They have shit visual acuity and can't see very far, but they're usually aware of the general silhouette of large objects a few feet around them, and are sensitive to movement. The Anemones, at least, formed a symbiotic relationship with a species of amphibious fish partially due to them being able to see farther and with higher acuity and warn them of things they might not have picked up on by themselves.
There's a lot of in-universe debate over the exact intelligence of the clownfish, but the average seems to be kind of parrot-like, with occasional exceptionally intelligent, probably sapient individuals. They're hard to study, because they're usually extremely shy towards other people, plus Anemones tend to develop a very strong bond with their clowns that skews their perception of what their own fish is capable of. In the modern day the relationship between Anemones and their fish is largely religious rather than out of any real practical necessity; the Anemone religious hegemony considers these fish as one half of a full person, and places an extreme importance on maintaining this relationship. This is usually fine and what ever, but can place Anemones and clownfish alike into difficult situations when the relationship is unwanted or cannot be maintained properly for whatever reason. It's also the reason Anemones and Nautilus have historically considered themselves separate, often rival species; the presence of the clowns or lackthereof have been considered mutually repulsive and a sign of something being deeply Wrong about the other group.
Most terrestrial holothurians are small, trundling insectivores, but there is one large species these guys share a close evolutionary relationship with. The dropbear are solitary, arboreal ambush predators that used to share much of their range with Anemones, but are currently critically endangered in the wild. Anemones, with their very low visual acuity and poor sense of smell, have a very hard time distinguishing dropbears from members of their own species. It's thought the need to tell friend apart from foe is what drove them to develop complex vocal capabilities.
Side note the Example Anemone here is wearing an extremely hastily designed example of traditional Anemone accessories; they didn't have a nudity taboo and actually prefer to keep most of their skin uncovered so they can see, but they enjoyed wearing accessories with tactile or audible elements built into it. Beads were often placed so they'd click together when moving, and combined with knots in the cords were often arranged according to their traditional system of cord "writing" so that people could read each other's clothing.
These guys support themselves on land through an endoskeleton made up of a network of mesodermal ossicles and catch connective tissue. When threatened, they can dramatically loosen their skin and let a predator or perhaps a guy easily tear off whatever part of their body they've grabbed, allowing for an easy getaway with relatively easy wounds to regenerate. This easily gooped skeletal structure does make them very prone to fatigue though. It was fine, because they're ambush predators. They were just supposed to be sitting there most of the day. Please.

hey in ur peri animatic: (https://youtu.be/OCqlRuDaXYU?si=K52WDu_vw9rg7chz) that I have been permanently obsessed over since today and have watched about 20 times by now so much that I have drawn & posted stuff based on it what was that partial bug form peri had?

I haven’t watched either of the show btw so if it’s explained in the show please tell me plsssss
OK, SO the bug thing is not technically canon to the series. It's based on my own headcanons for fairy biology, but i do have justifications for it!! Fairies have very strong shape-shifting abilities, so it would make sense that the form they show to humans isn't necessarily their true form(not to mention extreme that mimicry is very common in insects). And you want to know the visible traits almost every fairy has in common? Being very small with Insect-like wings.
The fact that their humanoid form isn't their true form in actually confirmed in the show! Cosmo and Wanda are revealed to look like biblically accurate pseudo-angels in the museum episode. (I say pseudo angels because the Flaming Sword of Eden is only debatably sentient and I don't think is considered an angel. Ophanim are also debatably not angels because they don't have wings (sorry for the angel tangent I like angels))

So wouldn't their true forms be angelic then? Well, yes. But I like bugs so. Also I have more headcanons to justify myself. I like to think that they have both a true-true form (incomprehensible to the human brain, probably exists mostly in a dimension invisible to us, that looks how we imagine biblically accurate angels), and a fairy form (which is visible to humans but is naturally very insect like and tends to scare people). So, in order to interact with humans, they have to learn to shapeshift into a humanoid form but will occasionally slip if they get too relaxed/aren't careful, hence the mandibles coming out when he yawns!
The reason they struggle so much more with human forms than the animals or objects they typically turn into is that, well, they aren't trying to convince those animals or objects. The more human they try to look, the harder it is to keep up convincingly. If you turn into a really uncanny squirrel, only other squirrels will notice. If you turn into a really uncanny human, they form a lynch mob and burn you at the stake.
#fop#fairly oddparents#fairly oddparents a new wish#fop a new wish#headcanons#ok I think I said everything I wanted to#my brain has so many useless thoughts bouncing around in there#their bright colors would also imply that they are poisonous to eat#my personal theory is that Jorgen is half human idk how else to explain whatever he is. tall. no wings. that or he's something else entirel#maybe he's a higher rank of angel#fairies are definitely a type of angel in this world#but they don't seem to line up with any specific rank as far as I can tell#they behave most like I'd expect a Guardian angel to which could make Jorgen an Archangel or Principality#but Ophanims are in the first sphere of heaven which. uh I don't think it's right#to be clear I'm not even religious im just way too into angels#Uhhhh anyway I guess the moral of the story is that I did that just because I wanted to an because nobody could stop me#Actually Im just thinking about this now#I mostly drew baby poof without bug features to keep his design uncluttered visually#but fairies having naturally very human looking larva would explain how changelings happen#something something evolution. mutualism. those parasite birds. idk#ok im out of thoughts now seriously this time youre free now#speculative biology

ok i swear NOW im gonna make a naturalistic conlang i swear bro ill actually stick to it this time im gonna. shudder. learn how to evolve grammar
#well here goes attempt uhhhh 3 i think? maybe 4? of making a naturalistic conlang with actual evolution#instead of just making up random shit. it just doesnt satisfy me anymore idk#maybe also bc i just started reading lotr and like man i gotta hold myself to higher standards#well i found a book called the world lexicon of grammaticalization and once i read it nothing will be able to stop me#i understand phonological evolution to a satisfactory degree i think but grammatical and lexical evolution is much more difficult#ramblings#hi btw i dont even use this blog that much anymore. its turned into a bit of a mess#and i havent been doing as much conlanging lately ive been busy with other worldbuilding stuff#and other general life stuff

#Uh - Virmon - Although Jyarimon start life as innocent-looking blobs with wings, these fiery little guys are destined for big things. As they grow into Virmon and develop stubby legs, they are able to use numerous little fangs to nibble at everything in sight, delivering hot bites that get more powerful and aggressive as these Digimon age.
#Uhh - Rudimon - Standing upright? Look at this guy go! He's unstoppable! From running around on all fours as Gigimon to standing tall and growing claws as Rudimon, this Rookie is going places. Hey now, what's that developing symbol on his chest mean? Eh, nevermind, it can't be that important.
#Uhhh - Snarlmon - As Guilmon grow into Snarlmon and later Growlmon, they loose their sense of childishness and become more wild and aggressive. What are you trying to prove? You and Guilmon look basically the same! One day a Digimon grows a little hair and suddenly he thinks he can take on the whole world or something!
#Uhhhh - BattleGrowlmon - Oh man. Uh, this a real step up from Growlmon. Looks at those blades! What do you mean that jaw attachment is a restraining tool for my safety? Good thing this guy is being raised by someone pure of heart, right? I'm, um, I'm sorry for what I said before! 😅
#Uhhhhh - ValorGrowlmon - Phew!! I am just so relieved you're going down this digivolution path instead of becoming some kind of, like, world-ending wave of terror monstrosity. ValorGrowlmon, you're okay with me! Just stay on that righteous path!

and then there's me that has no patience for manchildren who should have been taught to respect boundaries by their mother (one of the greatest ladies in his life) as a kid 😂
criminal minds 18x08 Tara thoughts behind cut (SPOILERS)
oh, my sweet, sweet, Tara. MY GIRL. I knew this would be an emotional journey for her and it was. ;_; also could like, the show chill on the dead parent trauma for five minutes though? LMAO. i really loved it though, i saw a lot of myself in tara in this episode. i cried like 3 times hahaha. "how can you all just go on? the world needs to stop and feel what i'm feeling." <- REALLLLL. "they don't want to know what it was like for me: a motherless daughter" <- OH OKAY JUST COME FOR ME. tara coming to terms with her anger and grief regarding her mom, probably the one lingering issue she had, so that it would free her up to move forward in life, was a wonderful journey. <3 couldn't be me tho, i'll never get married hahahaha.
which, dude, I thought everyone was lowkey reaching about the tarbecca engagement, how did y'all predict that? LOL. i just went along for the ride cause it was a cute idea but damn. props. you guys called it. it was so sweet! and everyone was so happy. rossi shouting in italian! and that cut to jj - i think it was lowkey a little healing for her to see this for tara. and penelope about to explode from joy lmao. nothing she loves more than a BAU engagement. it was really great for the team to have a nice, happy moment. (and i'm sure it's the calm before the storm of whatever the hell is gonna go down in the last two eps of the season.)
hooray for the return of the codependent BAU team, having all their major life events happen in front of or with each other, LOOLLL.
GARVEZ MOMENT!!!! luke and penelope standing next to each other during the proposal and a shoulder bump :D :D :D :D :D my cutiesssssssss!
not me partially predicting some stuff in this episode in this fic i wrote hahaha. sadly, instead of luke wondering why he couldn't get ahold of penelope, it was emily. hilarious though, when emily walked into voit's room and saw penelope and was just like aughhhghh. the groan of long suffering acceptance.
poor penelope feeling guilt over tate andrews and equating herself with a serial killer. and it was strangely sweet how voit kind of connected with her in a paternal sense. and it makes sense that voit would like penelope cause she's the only one that's been kind to him. but i am glad that emily, while obviously feeling a little bit frustrated by penelope, told penelope that she didn't need to explain and that she didn't sound crazy. <3 <3
loved emily's 'tired' speech at the BAU. girl we're all tired, this season has been WIILLDDDD
luke and jj showing up at the hospital and luke shooting eye daggers at evan while he hugged rebecca was so funny to me. he was like STAY AWAY FROM MY BESTIE'S GIRLFRIEND. ASSHOLE.
FRANKLY i'm not entirely sold on evan's innocence - aside from just being a jerk who tried to move in on rebecca while her girlfriend was in the hospital. i feel like the likelihood is low that he is involved - i'm like 95% sure he really was just a red herring all along - but it just still seems off. could be because the actor is playing him so smarmy. haha.
the unknown potential maria jones connection has got me about ready to go back and watch that episode to look for clues myself hahahaha. I NEED TO KNOW!
voit referenced "collateral damage" - meaning all the people who died because they crossed paths with him - of which 'CollateRal' is the name of next week's episode. what does it meannnn. someone will die next episode? or maybe it's to do with whatever's going on with maria jones' case.
what else did voit want to tell tyler about alison?????
tyler thinking penelope's computer wouldn't be locked and touching penelope's stuff. ahaha. that scene made me laugh.
there sure was a lot of stuff pointing the finger at ochoa as the disciple this episode.

we have: ochoa being strangely concerned about voit going back to prison and him needing to "accept" it, the statement of "I believe you are different" in a slightly reverent tone, the suspicion about the disciple being someone who knows all about voit's memory issues so hospital staff are high possibilities and yet emily hand-waving ochoa as a suspect because of her "reputation", ochoa thinking it would be "the best thing for the both of them" for tyler and voit to work together (maybe with the hope that interacting with tyler would revert voit). INTERESTING.
there also sure was a lot of stuff making tyler look bad this episode.

tyler went SO HARD on this evan theory, which if had turned out to be true would have been a point in favor of him not being the disciple. but since evan was framed, it just makes tyler look like he totally went after the guy. D: D: we're not gonna know who the disciple is until we know!! they are throwing so much evidence at both ochoa and tyler at this point hahaha. DAMNIT!! (but omg I am loving this! WHO IS ITTTT. what a great mystery!!!)
all in all, another BANGER EPISODE from what is shaping up to be a legendary season!!
#Tyler's mom is “one of the greatest ladies in his life” but she didn't teach him about boundaries or proper apologies or amends#criminal minds evolution spoilers#uhhhh I'm being too negative i need to go re-watch the first two episodes again lol

Theriotype: Coastal Wolf
I know some things about them, but gah I love facts about canines
(I'm obsessed with Darwin's Fox LOL)
Also hi Dirt !! Hiii mootie :}
HAI GAMBIT!!! hii dragon buddy :>>
There were a few critters that asked for coastal wolf so I'm happy to finally get to this one!!
Information about: coastal wolf
Costal wolves are 75 - 80 pounds and are 4 - 5 feet.
lifespan- 10-12 years [15-20 in captivity]
diet in the wild- most of their diet is fish! 25% is just salmon, they mainly just eat the brains of salmon to avoid parasites! They commonly eat deer and small mammals. They are also known to forage on barnacles, clams, herring eggs, seals, river otters, and whale carcasses.
diet in captivity- beef, chicken, and salmon
hunting- while researching I kept getting different answerers for this, but I think they hunt in packs and if their hunting land animals they will chase them to exhaust or disorientate their pray then I assume they bite their prays neck to kill, the way most carnivores do.
habitat- outer costal islands of the Pacific northwest
behavior/communication- They live in packs of about five to twenty individuals. They are fast powerful swimmers. uhhhh I couldn't find much information about these topics.
evolution- Coastal wolves evolved from Interior continental wolves! [I think] Aswell as most wolves evolving from the dire wolf [which actually wasn't a wolf]!!
fun facts:
nicknamed marine wolves / sea wolves
up to 90% of there diet is sea food
idk and can't find anymore [*sob*]
vv more animal fact posts vv

I'm sad that I didn't have the brain power to write anything new for the Rebelcaptain fix-it week prompts, but on the bright side, my ... uhhhh oeuvre of Jyn/Cassian fics does include fics that would fit the prompts if I were writing them now. So in honor of the post-Andor kudos/comments extravaganza I've been a beneficiary of, here are the old fics of mine that best match the week's prompts:
1— How they escape Scarif
I did this one a bunch of times, but the one that is the most about the mechanics of escaping Scarif and how that, too, could go wrong is unquestionably per ardua ad astra, the AU where Jyn, Cassian, and Bodhi escape Scarif in an Imperial shuttle only to get caught in the Death Star's tractor beam.
Wildly, she looked around the shuttle. There had to be something she could do. Some last hope. The mission couldn’t end this way. Cassian said quietly, “Jyn.” “No!” She hated the calm on his face, shattering the mask of pain. Had he never expected to live? A suspicion crept on her, near to certainty: he wasn’t going to live, with or without the Empire. At his side, blood soaked her bandage. Every breath he took whistled and shuddered. She hadn’t even begun to look at whatever he might have done to his legs, under those Imperial trousers. Imperial trousers. Imperial officer’s trousers. Jyn turned to look at the cockpit, knowing what she’d see. A slim man in the uniform of an Imperial pilot. Even part of an Imperial droid. One last chance.
2— How they finally admit their feelings
I actually didn't write the actual declaration that often (partly because of eternal WIP-itis), but more often fics when they have already done so or are cautiously maneuvering around it. However, like a storm in the desert does have it:
I love you, she thought, easy and painless. It wasn’t a revelation, exactly; she’d understood it for a long time. Before the Alderaanian missions, probably before Scarif, however improbably. What everyone else had seen, it was wrong. But it also wasn’t wrong, and she hadn’t understood that. “You know,” he whispered, one hand cupping her cheek again. “Don’t you?” Jyn brushed his hair from his face, triumph radiating through her at the streaks she’d left over his face, at the heavy gaze reflected back at her. “Yes,” she said. “I know.”
3— How they fare on Hoth
Imagining Jyn/Cassian on Hoth inspired my first RO fic altogether, but my personal favorite of my fics with them there is the words are all escaping, which is entirely about the post-ANH evolution of their relationship. It's set in a longer series, but really all you need to know is that Jyn and Cassian are the only ones who escaped Scarif and they formally got together soon thereafter.
“You also asked me if you were a cyborg,” she said, giving up on the chair and the chilly temperature of their quarters at night. Worse than chilly. Even Jyn got cold on Hoth. After the galaxy’s quickest change of clothes, she grabbed the datapad and one of the blasters she’d discarded with her holster, and climbed into bed. Shivering, Jyn tried to find some opening in the tangled mass of blankets, with no effect until they gave a dramatic twitch and lifted. She crawled under, stowing the blaster under her pillow. Cassian didn’t do that, but he was painfully careless—except about organization—when he felt safe. Jyn never felt safe. Not completely, and certainly not with the Empire combing the galaxy for them. Fine, it didn’t seem like Imperial spies ever managed … anything, given their total failure to find Alliance bases over twenty years, but you could never be sure. And Jyn had good reason to know that Rebels sometimes defected, if very rarely; they just didn’t tend to live long afterwards. (Cassian tried to keep her from those missions, at first. Jyn, whose qualms about murder did not extend to traitors, simply packed as usual and slipped into the ship before he arrived. When he found her in the co-pilot’s chair, he opened his mouth to say something stupid and unnecessary, so Jyn just propped her boots up on the panel—which he hated—and stared at him. They never exchanged a word about it, but after the fourth time, he gave up altogether and Jyn kept her feet on the floor.)
4— How they work together on missions
I'm pretty sure my only real missionfic in the usual sense (aka not ad astra, in which the "mission" is survival and involuntary) is probably also like a storm in the desert, which does have a chapter revolving around Jyn and Cassian's nesting dolls of Fake Dating:
Zara, at any rate, was the sort of narrowly good-natured woman who disliked death and suffering, but talked vaguely about the rule of law and dismissed the rest as Rebel propaganda. Major Lannan prided himself on the precision of his conduct while happily remote from actual warfare; he served on a quiet backwater planet that had seen no real change between the Republic and the Empire. Lieutenant Erso and Commander Andor of the Rebellion heartily disliked them both. But the higher officers of Major Lannan’s sector had been summoned to a gathering (otherwise known as a five-day party) with the local brass. Normally, the Rebellion took little interest in such a peaceful region, but the gathering happened to be taking place at Elis Place, which incidentally stored the sector’s personnel records. Draven wanted them for unknowable Draven reasons, so Jyn and Cassian buried themselves into Zara and Lannan and endured. On top of that, the Lannans were, obviously, married. The Alliance operatives stuck inside them were, back in the Rebellion, just as obviously lovers. But packed inside them were Jyn and Cassian, and they were nothing of the kind. Well, maybe something of the kind. But certainly not—not— Jyn opened her eyes in the near-dark, letting her gaze drift down the line of Cassian’s sleeping (maybe sleeping) body. The Lannans’ bed was easily twice the size of their own; where Jyn had considered Cassian’s commander’s quarters palatial, by her standards, these apartments were the real deal. Yet sleeping in this one, a good foot apart, felt more intimate, more dangerous.
5— Follow to the ends of the galaxy
Since I've never written them on Endor, I contemplated the alternative prompt, and I'm pretty sure the closest for me is the final chapter of my f!Cassian/Jyn AU, whatever we deny or embrace:
“Baze said we were practically married already,” she replied, readily enough. “He didn’t know he was saying it, but still. And I thought that—it’d be good to have things clear.” Cassia looked particularly inscrutable. “To me?” “To everyone,” said Jyn. “No misunderstandings.” Again, Cassia’s eyes widened. Her grip loosened, and Jyn had no idea what that was supposed to mean. “You want,” Cassia began, then broke off. “You’re proposing that we swear to … to this, to staying together forever, because now we’ll probably live long enough for it to matter?” She could be very concise sometimes, without sacrificing meaning. It was one of Jyn’s favorite things about her. “Yes,” said Jyn. “And because you want us sworn before the entire galaxy?” she pressed. “Yes.” Cassia released Jyn’s hands, which for one terrible moment, threw all of her conclusions into doubt. Then Cassia stepped even nearer than they already stood, almost as near as they could get, and cupped Jyn’s cheek with one hand, the other dropping to her hip. “Jyn,” she said.
6— How they live after the war
I did write one short fic centered around this idea, one wave short of a shipwreck.
They all knew the end of the war would be difficult for Cassian, and none knew it better than K-2SO, in his own estimation. All of them had certain inconvenient adaptations to make, of course, but none possessed quite the same disadvantages as Cassian. After all, the Guardians of the Whills and Bodhi Rook had functioned in civilian status for longer periods of their respective existences than not, and in any case typically served in non-combat capacities; Jyn Erso spent years of her early maturity as a petty thief, with few aspirations beyond the convenience of the moment; K-2SO’s own security systems were not specifically programmed for war, however useful his contributions. But Cassian retained no alternate data. “If you are considering a return to Coruscant,” he informed Jyn—who, by this point, K-2SO classified as a) an occasional threat to his decisions, b) a frequent co-conspirator, and c) generally the organic counterpart to himself��“then the probability of assimilation to human-typical behaviour may be elevated, but—” “We’re not typical,” she said in her abrupt way, “and I’m thinking of something quieter.” With more relief than he cared to articulate, K-2SO said, “I concur.”
7— Free day!
It didn't really fit for any of the other themes, but one of my favorites of my fics is life, like a swinging vine, which is a one-shot following the first year after Scarif.
Everyone knew that Jyn and Cassian were sleeping together. Everyone, even if they couldn’t decide whether he’d seduced her for the cause or she’d seduced him for her mission. Nobody outside their team seemed to consider that they might have fallen into bed because, say, they found each other attractive and likable (they hadn’t, but did people always have to assume the worst?). Meanwhile, in the real galaxy, Jyn’s skin sparked like a bad circuit when their arms or hands brushed; Cassian hid his answering jolt, or—among the small, strange family they’d accumulated—didn’t bother hiding it at all, his eyes wide and his hand unsteady but close. If they felt particularly daring, they would exchange lingering glances and nervous smiles, before discovering an urgent need to analyze Imperial data protection (Jyn, at least, considered it an achievement to stay in the same room). She didn’t feel afraid, and she doubted that Cassian did either; they’d just never had the chance for this, the trust or time for shyness, uncertainty, the thrill of anticipation crackling beneath, for—well, for being young and in love, and a little stupid with it. Everything was so much, after lives of so little; for now, they soaked up touch, and for now, that seemed like enough.

How do you come up with your fic titles? Do you have it in mind while you’re writing or figure it out at the last few paragraphs? To confess.. I usually come up with the title as I’m posting it.. lol 🦃
I sit and think about them for a very very very long time.
Margin of Error came to me in a light bulb Eureka moment? I knew i wanted something about...well a margin of error. Like room to make mistakes or something. I just took a moment to scroll through dms and Margin of Error was named on February 4th
That cannot be right wtf? I named it that fast???? She was born on the 2nd. Thats when I wrote the lollipop scene and accidentally made a college au out of it. I then spent the next two days spitting out 14k and
No I scrolled through again I really named it that fast wow. Um. Okay. Well. I knew I wanted something with room for mistakes and then I remembered margin of error existed and I was like "wow a title!"
Uhhhh for chapters I have a list. I have a big long list in the doc that I look at and then dont use because its really more an idea starter list than anything else? Its a combination of ideas from myself and friends.
For sticks it came to me while I bringing groceries in the house. I was like "oh yeah! Crossing your sticks instead of your heart is cute" it was "sticks and bones" then it was "heart in center rink" then cross our sticks blah blah blah. That one has a good evolution.
Kit named unsportsmanlike conduct. I take no credit for that it was a genius move on their part.
And Dealing Despair named itself with the Playlist.
Naming things is not easy though! Look at unnamed superhero au for example, he STILL doesnt have a name and maybe never will idk.
I think my brain just never shuts off and it always rotates. 🙃
Your asks are always so fun turkey anon!! Thank you so much for this <3

Also Uhhhh sorry for like never posting lol
Well
Anyways
