orchid, camellia, taro :)

orchid ⇢ what’s a song you consider to be perfect?

i unapologetically love "No. 2" by Kim Namjoon (RM of BTS) featuring Park JiYoon from his first solo album, Indigo. It is GORGEOUS AND I LOVE THE LYRICS. Maybe I'm biased but the whole album is so gooooooood and comforting and I fell in love with RM even more. Listen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJiPWFZjFxU camellia ⇢ what were you like when you were younger? do you think you’ve changed a lot?

Child!Hiyas was a bit of a brat when she can get away with it (so like with my cousins who I'd fight with when I don't get my way), but was more likely to be a people-pleaser. I think I've matured some and lost the bratty tendencies, but tbh I wish I didn't?? Mostly because I think I'm too much of a pushover nowadays XD

taro ⇢ if someone called you right now to catch up, what’re the things you’d tell them about?

Getting Covid 2.0 rn, feeling bad about my rescheduled flight to visit my mom, RM's album, and my plans to get a tattoo next year.

✨ and 🥳 !!

✨️ Out of the comments you’ve received on your fics, what are two or three of your favourites?

Without a doubt, the wonderful cheering every month from my @sterek-roundrobinchallenge writing partners @greyhavenisback, @blue-eyedbeta and @halinski in our RRC group chat anytime a new ITSOK chapter of mine went up 💗 Sure, those comments never got posted publicly, but they're the ones closest to my heart from the most supportive group I could ever have wished for!

As for actual public comments: it's definitely any comment that has gone into depth about what they liked about what I wrote! Those are the best. 🥰

🥳 Why did you start writing fanfic?

omg lol SO it depends how you define "start" 😂 When I was a kid - like, eleven - my friends and I would hang out and write RRC-style fanfiction... except we took turns doing them one WORD at a time, instead of one chapter at a time, like the theatre game. (Yeah, the nerd level is HIGH.)

But doing that means I've been thinking of the content I consume in relation to ways that I might be able to add to it for years. Since then, I've written drabbles on and off, but it all came down to the way those games made me think about the stories I loved, you know?

On top of this, my brain has been busy writing original stories and characters for pretty much as long as I can remember. I've always been writing, really, in some way or another.

And then a few of my RP partners got busy with life and other things, so I no longer had an RP outlet - plus I met my boyf, who is a Real Writer - so now here we are, writing fic like it's serious business or something. 😂

So yeah: when did I start? Was it those silly one-word-at-a-time fics with my friends? Was it when I started RPing? Was it something I trained myself to do by writing my own fiction? Or was it something I suddenly got the kick in the rear to start doing seriously when I met my partner? WHO KNOWS, IT'S A MYSTERY 🤷‍♀️

Informative Hyperlinked Text

Creating posts with informative hyperlinked text really helps boost the accessibility of your content for a number of reasons

Screen reader users don't have to listen to a whole URL read out

All users get to have an idea of where the link will take them before selecting it

Your posts look less cluttered overall

In relation to that second point in particular, keep in mind that your hyperlinked text should (ideally) be able to stand on its own even without context. That means not making your hyperlinked text vague like:

click here

here

more

read more

info

link

Now, I'm certainly not perfect about this; sometimes I will make my hyperlinked text read "this post" or something similar. But it's still a good think to keep in mind.

You should also avoid putting redundant info in your hyperlinked text. For example, there is no need to specify that a link is a link; screen readers tell users when they come across a link, so something like link to my blog might read as "link to my blog link" or something. Likewise, tumblr will underline linked text by default (at least in dashboard view), so users who sight read will be able to tell which things are links too.

Note: since underlining is such a common way of indicating a link, it's best to avoid using underlined text for anything that is not a link to avoid confusion.

Finally, you want to be concise with which text you choose to hyperlink. This means that it's probably best to post tags as plain text, even if it automatically copy/pastes as a hyperlink (you can remove that formatting).

It also means that you need to be purposeful with which text you choose to hyperlink in your post. Providing context around the hyperlink to further inform users of what it is and where it will go also helps.

Too Vague:

You can learn more about visual disabilities here.

Click here to learn more about visual disabilities.

Too Long:

You can learn more about visual disabilities on WebAIM.

Nice and Concise:

You can learn more about visual disabilities on WebAIM.

You can learn more about visual disabilities on WebAIM.

Concise and Uses Clear Page Titles:

You can learn more by visiting the Visual Disabilities page on WebAIM.

You also don't always have to stop the flow of your writing to point out the source; a link implies there is more information there. So, for example, you could just as easily get away with this:

There are many different visual disabilities that benefit from accessible content.

Final note: the length advice is not set in stone. Sometimes you need longer pieces of hyperlinked text. Just try not to hyperlink more than is needed!

Legal Blindness

When people ask “what do blind people see,” I often hear things like “literally nothing, they don’t see black because they literally can’t see.” And that’s true...for some blind people. 

However, many legally blind people do have varying degrees of remaining vision. What that looks like depends a lot on why they are blind. For example, when asked to describe her vision in 2012, Christine Hà said it was “like if you take a really hot shower and then you look into the foggy bathroom mirror, where you only see vague shapes and shadows.” Christine was not born with this level of vision; she has Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder, so she progressively lost vision later in life.

There is a wide range of answers to “what do blind people see,” so I wanted to provide just a few resources for people who are curious or want to write a blind character with some remaining vision. While looking up various conditions on medical sites is a good starting point, nothing beats first-hand experience.

I don’t know which disabled person needs to hear this today, but all the writing advice you see about how portraying disability as a tragedy is disrespectful and bad? That’s not for you. That’s for people who don’t have your condition.

If you want to write about the struggles of being blind or deaf or autistic or a wheelchair user or whatever, you are allowed to. You can make it sad, you have every right. That is absolutely your story to write if you so choose.

My #1 post of 2022

This is only sort of an accessibility thing, but it's an issue that I've run into several times, so I wanted to talk about it briefly here.

We need to provide people more info when it comes to neopronouns.

You are never, ever required to list your pronouns anywhere. However, if you do, and they are neopronouns (pronouns that are not conventionally established in the language), it would really help to provide explicit instructions on how to use them for everyone.

In English, there are actually five functional pronoun cases:

Subjective. (For example, "they," as in "They would like a grilled cheese.")

Possessive Independent. (For example, "theirs," as in "That burnt grilled cheese is theirs.")

Objective. (For example, "them," as in "Bob told them about the best grilled cheese recipe ever.")

Reflective. (For example, "themself," as in "Eliza made the grilled cheese themself.")

Possessive Dependent. (For example, "their," as in "Grilled cheese is their first love.")

If someone lists preferred pronouns as it/its, I can look up what all five cases for that are in English no problem. But if someone lists preferred pronouns as "fae/faer," I have no way of looking that up. As a native English speaker, I can assume that it follows the same rules as "she/her" based on similarities in sound, but that's not going to be as easy for someone with English as a second language (especially since "faer" sounds like both "her" and "their.") And my assumption might not even be correct anyway! And if it's something like "egg/eggself," I have no idea where to start grammatically.

So please, if you choose to list neopronouns for yourself, consider providing all five case usages with examples (since even native English speakers might not know what a possessive dependent or reflective case is.)

It would also be helpful to include whether the verbs used with the pronoun should be conjugated as singular (like "she is" ) or plural (like "they are.")

Edit: You can use the pronouns page to link people to all the usage cases of your personal pronouns! Thank you to the follower of mine who pointed this out.

Creosote — Chapter 21

He’s sinking all over again, pulled down by a new deep; the gravitational pull of drips. Drip, drip—down dampened lashes, rosy lips, pale chin. Drip, all the way down to... This, he thinks, is drowning. Must be drowning despite the lack of water to gorge his lungs.
