All I Ever Wanted Was To Just Exist

Oh, and Be Fearless... 20s, Christian, ENFP Lover of Fantasy and Sci-Fi Here for the Beautiful and True Author, Artist, Dreamer Mathematician in Training

Hi, I'm Starlight, and welcome to my blog!

I'm a university student majoring in mathematics who comes here for fun in her off time. I am also a pro-life conservative-leaning Christian who stands by most of the Church's traditional sexual ethics, and that informs pretty much everything I do here. I try to refrain from politic posting, but the most liberal I get is my egalitarianism and feminism (the one place where people would probably not consider me traditional), and those stem from my faith as well.

I'm a low-church Protestant, but Catholics and the rare Eastern Orthodox are very much my siblings in Christ and are absolutely welcome here. If I ever feed into the Protestant/Catholic feuds smack me. Jews are also welcome here- anti-Semitism results in an instant block from me. Others are totally welcome and free to browse too, but again, I have very specific opinions that most people on this site are not fond of, and while I'm open to goodwill discussion, I refuse to engage with harassment and will block freely.

My main fandoms online are Fringe and City Between, with side dishes of Trigun, Lockwood and Co., Star Wars, and Fullmetal Alchemist (and Stargate and Legend of Zelda for dessert). You'll find that stuff tagged with #Fringe, #City Between, #Trigun, #Lockwood and Co or #Lockwood & Co (keep forgetting which one I use), #Star Wars, #fmab, #sg1 and #sga, and #loz or #The Legend of Zelda (see lw&co). (I went through and got all my original work stuff linked, but I'm not going to fight with it for fandom stuff. The search function does mostly work on my blog I think.) I'm also a Sanderfan and am obsessed with K.M. Shea's work, but I don't really want to engage with the former online and the latter doesn't have a huge fandom on here. I'm occasionally bitten by the Zutara bug, which I have under #Starlight's Reblogging Zutara.

I'm also a major hobbyist! See #Starlight Crochets for fiber art, #Starlight Draws for both digital and physical drawing, #Starlight Paints for rare paintings, and variations on #Starlight Writes for my writing stuff.

On the subject of my writing, I have a small number of fics up on Ao3 (all 3 are for Fringe) that you can get to under #Starlight Writes: Fanfic Edition. However, my main focus is my long-time original work in progress The Last Elementals, which you can find here under #Starlight's The Last Elementals and #Starlight Writes: Original Fiction Edition (I am currently in a major plot editing phase and as such, this tagging system may change). Characters specifically end up under #Starlight's OCs. Please send me asks about them, I want to talk about them.

For my day-to-day stuff, #Starlight Does Uni, #Starlight Does Math, and #Starlight Talks see a lot of use. #Starlight Rants is exactly what it sounds like, and me being stupid is under #Starlight's Nonsense. TV show commentary is under #Starlight Watches TV, with specific tags for various shows I'm specifically going through at any given point. I do my best to stay out of main tags since my beliefs aren't particularly popular here. I rarely queue anything, but if I do, it'll be under #A Shudder Before the Queuetiful. (I like Nightwish, okay?)

Thank you for visiting! If you get nothing else from here, have a beautiful day, and remember that Christ loves and died for you.

yesterday my grandma found a penny on the floor and said to my grandpa “there’s that penny again, pa!” and i absolutely lost my mind because i couldn’t shelve the thought of a single panel Far Side comic of two old people on the front porch in the middle of nowhere and a giant penny angrily and inexplicably rolling through the wastes

“there’s that penny again, pa!”

Something nobody prepares you for is that the better you get at writing the harder it becomes. beginners write freely because they don't know enough to know what's wrong. then you learn. and suddenly you can see every single flaw in real time as you're making it and you have to write anyway while your own brain is in the corner going "that's a weak verb. that transition is lazy. you've used that word three times." getting good at this is mostly just getting better at ignoring yourself.

Big fan of when a character is protective over another character and it’s totally superfluous because the person can take care of themselves. And this does nothing to decrease the protectiveness.
