Hello! 👋

To spare my GOT mutuals my recent obsessing over Sam Wilson, Bucky Barnes and Sambucky, I’m shifting my TFATWS/MCU content to —>

Decided to re-read Heart of the North and got to the end feeling annoyed the author never finished and remembered I’m the author. 😅🫠🙃

[attaining-fic]

I only keep Facebook around for my local neighborhood groups and Marketplace bc I got that rare tropical aroid side hustle.

But that means FB keeps showing me GOT clips and now I’m back on my Theon bullshit.

It’s wild to me that Theon is paralyzed by what a bad person he was and every mistake he made when almost every other character has done just as bad or worse. Unlike other characters who were forced to move on from one struggle to another, Theon was just stuck in time, literally endlessly tortured for his crimes. Theon spent most of his life a prisoner of the North, first as a child and then as a failed rebel. Theon is one of the few protagonists who actually suffered real punishment for his crimes - and the punishment he experienced was so heinous that no one would agree it was just.

Really guts me he only was able to live free for like 30 seconds before he died. And in that time, he supported Yara, Sansa, and Dany as the legitimate rulers of Westeros. My dumpster fire son died drinking his respect women juice. Better late than never. 😂

There also needs to be a button for “this is the 5000th time I’ve read your fic because I’m having a horrible day and this is the only thing in the world that always brings me happiness.”

I love when people leave comments on my old stuff.

Its like passive income but it actually works to make me happy.

[katzedecimal]

Honestly though, comments like that are gold to me. I love to write and a comment telling me that something I’ve done has improved someone’s life even in a small way? That’s impact. We live in societies that tell us over and over we have no value and nothing we do is ever good enough. So for someone to post a comment telling us that we improved their lives with our stories? That tells us our effort had value. We writers set out to improve the world in tiny ways, offering random acts of kindness in the form of a few minutes’ entertainment, and comments tell us we’ve achieved that little goal.

You can totally come back and leave a comment under that comment a year later! I’m glad to know you are still enjoying it and want to know if you’re doing okay.

There is no higher compliment than a re-read.  The longer the time that has passed, the higher it is.  It means a story resonated and stayed with someone.

I switched from gel testosterone to self injections biweekly and let me tell you -

It was nowhere near as bad as I thought it was going to be.

I have a HUGE needle phobia. I would hold it to my arm and then slam on my internal brakes so hard there are skid marks in the exam room. This poor nurse was so patient with me while I panicked for five minutes straight.

When I finally did it, I was shocked by how easy it was. I didn’t even feel the needle (25g needle). It went in like butter. Testosterone is pretty viscous so it took a good 30 seconds to depress the plunger, and I didn’t even feel it.

I get a lot of other medications by injection due to chronic illness and my testosterone is my most pain free injection.

Maybe a silly thing to be proud of, but I am actually really happy with myself for doing it because it was nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be and it’s much more convenient than applying the gel every day. 

Idk just in case this story helps another trans masc give it a try with more ease.

I love watching early season Theon and remembering how fucking annoying he was and how much I absolutely hated him make every wrong decision in real time and then watched him grow into my absolute precious dumpster son who just wants a home and drinks his respect women juice. Theon Greyjoy is the only character that cares that he murdered two peasant children.

Everyone else is like, killed a few farm boys? Honestly, who hasn’t done that. It’s not like it turned out to be the Stark kids. ANYWAY.

Perfection. Long live my squid son, who miraculously survived the Night King, that was wild.

the way the voyage home has changed my life, not a day goes by that i don't think about it

Many folks in RL have asked me why I haven’t just changed my name at the court house to be more gender affirming. I go by a gender neutral shortened version of my birth name.

And I’m constantly like yall name change fees in my state are like $430 or so, and I don’t qualify for a fee waiver. 😂😅 That’s why.

Transitioning ain’t cheap.

Picked up my phone to consult my task list for today and now I'm reblogging this instead, case in point

I just can’t ship Dany with men. It’s not my fault Dany was eyefucking Yara Greyjoy in that throne scene okay.

Out on Youtube March 20th. Link in Bio!! These two masterpieces where ALL over my mood board when I was making Waves. Black and Magical is the way I’d describe this film. Loving yourself when the world wants to hate you is the greatest power the world has ever seen. I have so many feelings about this film. Please look out for it this March! 3/20/2026, the first day of spring 💙
