About Me

Hi, I’m AJ.

I’m an autistic writer, artist, and full-time learner navigating life with a deep love of growth, kindness, and weird little metaphors that help me make sense of it all. One of my core metaphors is that I experience myself like a fungal organism- with a fruitbody (the verbal, social self you’re most likely interacting with here) and a mycelium (the vast, internal, emotionally rooted part of me that feels everything deeply and creates things like art, writing, and big feelings).

Both parts are me. Fruitbody helps me speak. Mycelium is my main sense of self but it is nonverbal and emotional. Together, they make up AJ.

I use she/her or they/them pronouns publicly, and with trusted folks, you might hear me use it/its too. I’m femme-aligned but definitely not a fan of dresses. I live with social anxiety and major depressive disorder, and I’m always working to understand myself and others with more compassion and clarity.

This blog is where I share thoughts, reflections, and the odd strange-but-cozy metaphor. You’ll probably find me writing about growth, mistakes, boundaries, identity, and the moral neutrality of thoughts. I believe in choosing kindness, even when it’s hard. I believe in learning from what we don’t yet understand. And I believe every person (no matter how messy, misunderstood, or in-progress) deserves dignity, autonomy, and the chance to become more whole.

If you’re here, I hope you find something kind, thoughtful, or helpful. And if not, that’s okay too. I’m just glad you stopped by.

If you're curious about me I have a more in depth post linked below:

Forewarning: I am a pro-fiction account. I like dark/dead-dove art and fiction. Also, I really like possums. So those will probably show up. Frequently. You have been warned.

Post canon idea where Wei Wuxian gets hit with a long-lasting silencing spell right before a discussion conference and everyone thinks that means he can't cause problems.

But then Hanguang-jun makes an announcement that since Wei Ying can't speak, he'll be speaking on his husband's behalf. And people are telling themselves that Lan Wangji will at least filter wwx's words and make them polite.

But they're proven wrong when Hanguang-jun turns to Sect Leader Yao and hits him with the "My husband would like you to know that in a game of wits against a tree stump, you would place 3rd."

Unpopular opinion, but it's criminal to me how the fandom often reduces Hua Cheng to his drawings by making him an art major or a painter or yada yada... When this man's only interest beside Xie Lian has been canonically archeology.

Like his art is an extension of his interest on Xie Lian. But archeology? "Yeah I got bored so I excavated an entire city smothered in ashes, studied their culture and learned to read their language even though I couldn't hear anyone speak it." You're gonna tell me he doesn't like doing anything else beside art with this? Heck, I'd even argue that the fact he mostly does religious imagery of Xie Lian is part of his true calling which is archeology.

Also please how funny would it be in modern AUs when he has to go on trips for his job and he's just sad because he wants to bring Xie Lian with him, but Xie Lian has a fencing competition to come and his association voluntary work. Or if he tries to complain about work and Xie Lian is like "Oh it's that antique thing right?" and Hua Cheng has tears in his eyes trying to stay sane like "It's actually early Han dynasty which is..." and then monologue for an hour.

Also it explains why he survives Xie Lian's food. "You're an archeologist? Ha! I bet you've eaten a mummy once." "I haven't but I did eat a piece of cheese and some preserved pastries from the Qin dynasty once." "What." "What?"

Like you're really telling me this man right here would draw anything else beside Xie Lian? And make money out of only drawing Xie Lian that he would sell?? I mean maybe he could but he wouldn't. Meanwhile archeology is just as unstable of a job and a lot more funnier.

Fox Demon Shen Yuan & Sect Leader Luo Binghe

First meeting. At least, Shen Yuan thinks it is.

[allpiesforourown]

Imagine you got bullied as a kid so to make up for that insecurity you became a super successful alpha male grindset influencer and then one day you got pushed into a portal and found yourself in an alternate universe where you're a malewife who married your old bully. That happened to Luo Bingge

[erinaeris]

And, crucially, your malewife impostor is living a life so much happier than you are that you immediately try to take his place.

A spoon's only objective in life is to make soup go upwards, and it knows this. That's why when you put one under a running tap it blasts the water way high. The spoon thinks there's suddenly TONS of soup to deal with and it freaks out.

[mortimermcmirestinks]

OP I want you to know I think of this post every single time I have to wash a spoon.
