About the blog

Hello all!

I'm the author of Wild Stories (which you can find here https://www.wattpad.com/user/AloenoMoore ) and this blog is about the series and writing in general. (There's a lot of poems here.) You can also find me on youtube, where I might post playlists that fit my books. Maybe. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCc5qeawCRcc-93Fq7M4_h7Q (Also operation olive branch, yes I am the person who messaged you on tik tok.)

Here’s the link for the save the children fundraiser I’m doing. We’ve raised $56 dollars so far!

Make a donation today to support Save the Children Australia. Every donation helps build a better world for and with children.

I'm also fundraising for Maryam’s family and her newborn, Fatima and her three children as well as Ibrahim and his family so if you want a sensitivity reader, beta reader, fanfic writer, song writer or need image descriptions in exchange for donations please feel free to check that out as well.

And I'm fundraising for my mutuals, please if you guys can help my friends out I would really appreciate it! I'm also working in exchange for donations to these families.

Hi all, so I've been speaking with my mutuals who have been representing their families on here over the past few days. I want to put all t

If there’s anything else you can donate to or organisations in your local area that can help Palestine then I would really appreciate it.

Basic dni, antisemitism, transphobia and islamophobia will be blocked on sight. 🟦 proship dni

You can call me Aloe, my pronouns are he/him. I am an adult as is Nick.

-And I’m his co-writer Nick, I’m butch and I also go by he/him. I’m not on here very much, this is more his thing. :)

It's fine to reblog anything on here! Also, feel free to like, comment and send me asks/dms, I love hearing from you guys.

I do sometimes reblog upsetting content although I’m trying to limit that to Tuesdays. I’ll try to figure out a tag for it but general #tw abuse or two death would work. So that said this blog probably isn't always appropriate for minors, and if you still want to be on here at least give it a skip on Tuesdays-

Things on this blog:

-Incorrect Wild Stories quotes about once a day. (The queue ran out of quotes so Imma have to fix that, apologies.)

-More serious topics/civil rights issues on Tuesdays. Under the tags trans rights, human rights, and animal rights. I’m also going to talk about #antibiotic resistance on Tuesdays because it’s a huge threat mostly due to animal agriculture.

-Topics relating to research for the series under #research wednesdays, posted infrequently on Wednesdays.

-Entries from Jack's Journal occasionally on a Thursday. (maybe.)

-Observations about The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes occasionally on Saturdays. Under #shitposting sherlock saterdays

-Tag games and writing under #tag games, cute animals under #vegan for the animals and a whole lot under #photography #steampunk and #dark academia . Music recommendations are under #music lovers and #music promotion.

And just a reminder that you can dm me or comment on this or any Wild stories post if you’d like to be added to the tag list for the series. :)

Thanks for reading, and today's song recommendation is Dandelions by Ruth B.

The duality of "If you even imply that being aro or ace condemns someone to a sad and lonely life I will fucking fight you"

and

"being aro and ace is the most isolating thing I will ever experience"

"But of course people with that diagnosis are abusive, it's literally in the diagnostic criteria-" Are we seriously arguing that the creation of official medical categories of ontological bad person disorder are apolitical, unbiased and to be taken at face value OR could we maybe think for like two seconds?

I still think it’s hilarious that the reason nobody ever figures out Superman’s secret identity or where he lives or what he does when he’s not saving the planet, is because he already told them all the Kryptonian stuff that can’t be tied to any of his human friends or family. I guarantee you the in-universe wikipedia article on Superman lists his name as Kal-El and the “personal life” section says that he lives full-time at his private fortress of solitude at the north pole. Nobody in the world looks at Clark Kent and thinks “oh my god, maybe he’s superman!” for the same reason nobody ever starts to suspect that their coworker who looks KINDA like Barack Obama is actually secretly Barack Obama – They know who Barack Obama is and know what he does and they know their coworker Greg is Greg and not Barack Obama. They have no reason to assume Barack Obama secretly moonlights as Greg The IT Guy at their workplace even though they’ve never seen Greg and Obama in the same place. At best, “Greg is secretly Obama” would be a running joke at the office, and the same is true at the Daily Planet. “Kal-El of Krypton, who lives in a CRYSTAL PALACE at the NORTH POLE and whose dayjob is SUPERMAN, sometimes puts on a suit and pretends to be a clumsy reporter and lives in a one-bedroom walkup in Metropolis” is a ridiculous concept to anyone who doesn’t already know it’s true

“Hey, that— that guy, in the corner, is that— is that Superman?” 

Clark looks up from his computer at the new intern. “Oh, no,” he says. “You caught me.”

“Clark, you pull this shit every time, man,” his desk neighbor Steve says. “Shut the fuck up.”

“No, the kid’s right, I’m Superman,” Clark says. He gets out of his seat and cracks his back out. “I guess we’re gonna have a superhero fight.”

“Clark, sit back down.”

“Nope. Superhero fight.”

“Clark if you don’t sit the hell back down and finish your article by lunch I am going to tell Perry on you.”

Clark points at the intern. “You get off easy this time, buddy,” he says, and sits back down. 

“So…” the intern says, very lost. “Uh…”

“That’s Clark,” a slightly older and more experienced intern says. “He’s Superman’s asshole twin.”

The funniest part is when Clark does this in front of Jimmy Olsen, who is just staring in disbelief as Clark talks about using his superpowers to help Ma Kent on the farm in a sarcastic tone of voice, when Jimmy knows for a fact it’s 100% true, that is what Clark did last weekend.

Intern: “Ahahahah Superman in Kansas tilling the fields at superspeed, that’s a good one. What, if the tractor breaks down, do you just pick it up and take it back to the barn?”

Clark: “Nah, between my ex-ray vision and my heat vision I can generally find whatever the problem is and do a spotweld if necessary so long as I know where to get the parts - once had to nip over to South Korea because I didn’t want to wait 6 weeks for the ship to get there.”

Intern: “Bahahaha classic, Clark you are so funny! Superman fixing tractors with his heat vision, oh that’s a good one.”

Jimmy: “…”

Was driving with my grandmother and in broken English she says “no eyes… no nose… no face. Don’t trust.” To which I looked around wildly in search of this omen of ill portend.

anyway every time i post about ocd people start tagging the post like "wait this isn't normal?" and i always like to remind people that intrusive thoughts are normal. pretty much everyone experiences them. "what if i jumped off this balcony?" "what if i crashed my car right now for no reason?" "what if i yelled a curse word in the middle of this wedding?" everyone thinks these things from time to time. it's disordered thinking when the distress starts becoming intolerable.

"am i normal" is not as helpful question to ask as "are intrusive thoughts causing me frequent distress?" and "would my life be better if i could find a way to feel less distress/learn to tolerate the distress?"

millions and millions of people have ocd. having ocd is normal. you're normal. but what if you could feel better? what if living everyday in your own mind and body could be tolerable? is that something you want? need? these are questions to ask.
