You can find some of my writing on @xbondola and AO3 ✨
What's this blog about? I post about writing, art and photography, things that I find interesting and funny or that remind me of my own stories and characters, and sometimes fandom stuff 🖤
What do I write? Short stories, fanfiction, novels – you name it. My favorite genre is... anything weird, really. I like contaminations, especially when it's between fantasy (urban, paranormal) and horror. I also like to write romance.
Fandom/ships I wrote/I wanna write for: Wenclay (Wednesday); Kanej (Six of Crows); Thiam (Teen Wolf); Stranger Things; Asian dramas; and more.
What can you find in my writing? LGBTQ+ characters (always!), introspection, lots of dialogue, focus on platonic or queer-platonic or familial relationships, unpleasant/difficult female characters, characters with anxiety/depression/other disorders, themes such as identity, change, growth, guilt, forgiveness.
HAPPY ENDINGS ARE UNDERRATED 😌
CURRENTLY WORKING ON...
A DIFFERENT ENDING
» A wlw YA novel inspired by Mean Girls, set in the early 2000s. The protagonist, Beverly, is a bitch who would do anything to protect her own status as Queen Bee of the school, but things go awry when someone starts blackmailing her boyfriend.
I just thought that it would be fun to use the stereotypical mean girl as more than an antagonist, for once – to give her a personality outside her meanness, an arc, and a redemption.
Also to make her a lesbian.
SOTTO IL PELO DELL'ACQUA (Below The Water Surface)
» A quasi-horror story set in an all girl summer camp. A group of girls is stuck on a small island where strange things happen. Some of the other campers start acting weird, and Mallory Brown thinks she knows the reason: something powerful and ancient is hiding in the woods...
Sadly, I'm not writing this one in English. Anyway, I wanted to have a story with a majorly female cast, since I feel there's a lack of works that focus on female friendship. I'm doing my part 🤭

ive invented (note: dubious claim) something i call the bear diet which is mostly fruits and vegetables with fish as the main protein source and something like once a month you eat a few hyperprocessed foods of your liking because that is when you, the bear, raid a dumpster in the suburbs
Kind of funny to me when humans are saddled with instincts which, historically over millions of years, offered a net-benefit to survival. And yet now in certain circumstances of modern day living just result in a doctor going, "yeah, so don't do that."
As hairless and warm-blooded creatures, we surely, I imagine, have been highly susceptible to parasites attached to our skin.
As creatures with dexterous opposable digits and fine-tuned motor skills, we surely, I imagine, have been able to fight back against this parasite blight by detecting the parasites on our skin and picking them entirely off.
And yet. When there is a highly unauthorized blemish. On skin. You """"shouldn't"""" """"pick at it"""" because that's """not the way to deal with acne""". Which is advice from someone who just sounds like they're jealous because their ancestors weren't nearly as skilled at skin parasite eradication.
also we have GOT to collectively come to terms with the fact that me or any other stranger online disliking or even making fun of something you like is not saying “no fun allowed” “no one can ever enjoy this” you have simply got to grow a spine and be able to like the shit you like. you don’t even have to defend it! like 90% of the media i really enjoy is divisive and half my friends actively hate it. i really don’t give a fuck though because i like it. you can write whatever you want! you’re allowed! even if it’s MY least favorite genre or style of writing and i have active distaste for it!
“Musk talks about Mars as a lifeboat for humanity, which is among the very stupidest things that someone could say,” says Adam Becker, an astrophysicist and author of the book More Everything Forever, which outlines the messianic, sci-fi fantasies of the tech oligarchs. “There are so many reasons why it’s such a bad idea, and this is not about, ‘Oh, we’ll never have the technology to live on Mars.’ That’s not what I’m saying. What I’m saying is that Earth is always going to be a better option no matter what happens to Earth. Like, we could get hit with an asteroid the size of the one that killed off the dinosaurs, and Earth would still be more habitable. We could explode every single nuclear weapon, and Earth would still be more habitable. We could have the worst-case scenario for climate change, and Earth would still be more habitable. Any cursory examination of any of the facts about Mars makes it very clear.”
What You’ve Suspected Is True: Billionaires Are Not Like Us
I really like sci-fi stories where people have to go off and terraform a planet, or figure out how to rebuild civilization after some disaster, or ideally both. "The last ark-ship leaving Earth right before it becomes uninhabitable" sort of deal. But lately I've been coming around to this same idea, that it will always be more practical to try to save Earth than to try to start over elsewhere.
I was reading one story where the apocalypse was impossibly-rising oceans. Like, water is appearing from *waves hand* the Earth's crust or something, and literally all dry surface land on Earth is going to become underwater in X years. Part of the story was about a giant research project to invent FTL to send a few hundred humans to a nearby star which might have a habitable planet. You know what they were hoping to find? A planet with liquid water. Their plan was to descend from their starship and restart civilization using just the tools they brought with them, on a world with no life and no breathable air and the wrong gravity and the wrong temperate and the wrong sunlight and the wrong day-night cycle, just because it had liquid water. You know where else has liquid water? The flooded Earth you just abandoned. Instead of researching starship technology, you could have spent that time loading up all the same civilization-restarter tools into boats.
And this is really true of any futuristic apocalypse scenario. If you can terraform Mars to have a thick oxygen atmosphere, why not just do that to Earth? Even if you smash an ice comet into Earth and destroy basically everything, Earth will still be more habitable than Mars! It'll still have roughly the right atmospheric pressure, and magnetic field, and heat balance, and it'll still have whatever life the comet didn't kill... Same with a starshade to cool Venus. Same with excavating asteroids into city-stations. Same with abandoning Sol System entirely and heading to another star. If an ark-ship arrived in a new star system and found Earth-but-choked-by-climate-change, the crew would be ecstatic. They would never have thought to get that lucky. So why bother with the trip? Just stay and fix the damn Earth.
A non-writer asked me "but where do you get your ideas" and i genuinely did not know how to explain that it's not a place. it's not a website. it's not a folder. it's that i was on the bus and a woman was holding a paper bag very carefully and something about the way she held it made me need to know what was inside and then i needed to know why she was sad about it and then there was a whole person and then there was a whole story and the bus had already stopped and i missed my stop. that's where.
Don't be shackled by the idea that going out can only be done with a group of friends, learn to feel comfortable going alone [remembers that encouraging consumerism isn't progressive] into the deep dark woods
