intro -- aj.mb

Hello~ my name is Mave. 26, she/her and very gay. I am an aspiring author. I have three cats and a dog.

I love fanfic and otherwise, just authors writing and putting themselves into their work!

! Why aj.mb as a pen name? !

- aj are the initials of my real life name!

- mb or mblvck (m black) comes from maverick black. A mix of my future son's name and - well - my unfortunate harry potter obsession..

! My hobbies and things you might find re-blogged here !

- Art. I do dabble in drawing (I drew that separator up there) I am what I consider . ݁˖ . ݁trash . ݁˖ . ݁ No but really. Be kind please

- Writing. I have a degree in creative writing and you would have no idea bc i have 0 motivation, never correct my own my grammar, and always correct other people's grammar (bc i need to put the degree to work somehow)

- Reading. Everything. I read anything - I just like to read man. I read math books even, if i have no money and need to read. (thankfully we have the internet now so i don't have to dip so low) but I can help with your math homework

- Uh, fishing? yeah i do that too..

! Fandoms I may reblog !

- phew here we go.. Harry Potter, Vampire Diaries, Teen Wolf, The Walking Dead, Game of Throne, House of Dragons, Bridgerton, Disney, Nickelodeon, Ginny and Georgia, Lockwood and Co., The Fosters, Heartstopper, Rainbow (graphic novel), They Hate Eachother, Here's To Us, Evermore, Marvel, Tolkien, Star Wars - there are a lot but there's a synopsis

❍︎ "The Avalyn Rosier Saga" - Avalyn Rosier has spent her entire life unaware that magic even exists, raised far from the wizarding world despite belonging to one of its most renowned pure-blood families. Everything changes on her eleventh birthday when she discovers not only that magic is real, but that she possesses it herself. Suddenly thrust into a world of spells, secrets, and family expectations, Avalyn must navigate a legacy she never asked for. As she uncovers the truth about her family and her place within it, she learns that being a Rosier may be far more complicated than she ever imagined.

❍︎ "The Weight of a Rainbow (The Rainbow Series)" - Haunted by tragedy and determined to leave her past behind, Rayne heads to college in a new city hoping to build a happier, more authentic life. But between unexpected trauma, a relentless enemy, and a secret she’s desperate to keep hidden, her fresh start quickly begins to unravel. As new friendships and relationships complicate everything, Rayne finds herself caught between the future she wants and the past she can't escape. With the truth threatening to come to light, she must decide how far she'll go to protect it. Because some secrets have the power to change everything.

❍︎ "To Get a Rainbow (The Rainbow Series)" - Azariah dreams of becoming a published author, spending her days writing between shifts at a local coffee shop. When she meets Henry, an accomplished editor, their connection grows into something she never expected—a chance at both love and the future she’s always wanted. But as they begin building a life together and dream of starting a family, Azariah faces an unexpected challenge: infertility. Through heartbreak, hope, and resilience, she must learn to navigate the emotional toll of trying to conceive while holding on to her dreams, her marriage, and herself. ❍︎ "Stuck in Somerville (The Somerville Series)" - After a family tragedy forces Veronica to leave her small Oklahoma hometown for Dallas at thirteen, she believes she’s left her old life behind for good. Four years later, she returns for the summer and finds herself reconnecting with her faith, her roots, and Noah Abbott—her former best friend who’s grown into someone impossible to ignore. As old memories become new possibilities, Veronica begins to rediscover who she is. But when summer ends and Dallas calls her back, she must choose between the future she planned and the life she never expected to want.

I was a lesbian until I met my boyfriend aka future fiance aka future husband.

I still consider myself gay. He also considers himself gay.

the reason behind that is literally no-ones business but our own.

scottish trans/the equality network have shared a how to and templates to email your mp/msp about the supreme court decision from april 16th if you're living in the uk. they have templates for both trans peeps and our allies.

if you live in the uk, please take a few minutes to do this (they even find who are your representatives so you don't have to do it yourself) and if you're from outside the uk, please take a moment to reblog for visibility. thank you.

So this actually happened..

I applied a job with my preferred name, that i am biracial (native and white), and that I am a part of LGBTQIA+ community.. Got an email back right away that they weren't interested.

I applied to the same job a few days later with my legal name, mixed around my resume, said I was white (because I am passing) and that I was straight.

Two days later they asked for an interview... I turned them down because I wouldn't feel safe but now i just dont feel safe :/

Fanfiction is so silly. I am playing with my dolls and people are coming over to watch. Some of them even clap and give me compliments. And when I'm done playing, I can go and watch other people play with their dolls.

[aj-mblvck]

and of I make the boy dolls marry eahcother or thr girl dolls marry eahcothr sometimes they just clap and cheer louder instead of looking at me worried.

and sometimes are dolls visit eachother!

They should invent a method of asking for reassurance that nobody secretly hates you that doesn't make people secretly hate you.

this reply deserves to be here.

[Image description: A Tumblr comment that reads "Try actively listening for assurance. I found I just missed it because I was so preoccupied with my own thoughts, but really today's assurance came in the form of my roommate offering to share the dinner she made. It came in the form of my coworker raising his eyebrows, impressed with my work. I found it in my father's hearty laugh at a gimmick I showed him. People won't sit you down and tell you directly; switch your overanalyzing from internal to noticing good things." End of description.]

When writing toxic family dynamics

Toxic family stuff isn’t always screaming matches or broken plates. Sometimes it’s quiet control. The expectation to shrink, the pressure to be perfect, the guilt that rides shotgun. It’s complicated. And it’s deeply, deeply personal.

✧ Make the love real, but conditional.  One of the most damaging things about toxic family is the illusion of love. It’s not “I love you no matter what.” It’s “I love you when you obey.” Let your character notice that.

✧ Control shows up in micro ways... Who’s allowed to speak. Who’s allowed to feel. Who apologizes first, even when they’re not wrong. Control doesn’t need to be loud. Sometimes it’s a raised eyebrow or a guilt trip.

✧  Let them question reality. Toxic families are great at gaslighting. Your character might constantly wonder, Was it really that bad? Am I being dramatic? Let them doubt their own memories. That internal confusion is real.

✧ The guilt will be crushing. Leaving a toxic family doesn’t feel empowering at first. It feels selfish. It feels wrong. It feels like betrayal, even when it's survival. Show your character grieving the fantasy of the family they wish they had.

✧ Let them try to earn love. Your character might work their ass off trying to “be good,” hoping maybe this time they’ll be enough. Toxic families move the goalposts. Let that break them a little.

✧ Show emotional whiplash... One moment everything is warm and nostalgic. The next, it’s tense and full of landmines. That unpredictability is the dynamic. Use it.

✧ Don’t make the villain cartoonish. Even the abuser might think they’re doing what’s best. They might bake cookies and say “I’m just worried about you.” That’s what makes it so damaging. Write them like people, flawed, manipulative, real.

✧ Let your character unlearn in layers. Even after they leave, they still flinch. Still fold under pressure. Still crave approval. Recovery isn’t clean. But it’s worth it. And when they finally say no, even just once, let it be electric.

Tender Actions for Characters Who Are Yearning (But Not Together… Yet)

(I crave you in silence, and if you notice, I’ll die and also be thrilled)

・❥・ Letting their hand hover near yours but never quite touching. Every atom screaming: please reach back.

・❥・ Saving the last bite of something, “just in case you wanted it.” (They always do. You always remember.)

・❥・ Fixing their backpack strap, even when it’s not falling.

・❥・ Offering your umbrella wordlessly. Standing a little closer than needed.

・❥・ Sitting beside them at a group thing before your brain catches up. Like it’s instinct.

・❥・ Casually mentioning something they said weeks ago. Something small. Something they didn’t think you’d remember.

・❥・ Carrying an extra pen, just in case they forget.

・❥・Letting them rant. Letting them ramble. Letting them be.

・❥・ Your eyes finding theirs in a crowd before your brain says, look away.

・❥・ Brushing against them “by accident” and apologizing even though it lit your whole nervous system on fire.
