Writing updates as of 2/20/2026

Act II of Who Remembers a God is currently sitting at about 80,100 words. I expect it will probably get around 15-30k more in order to fully wrap it up and be ready for posting, and The Editor (my cowriter of the Sechs Empire AU) has reviewed 19 out of 34 chapters so far.

I posted a short fic about Gideon and Oswald, "The Dark Dragon's Keeper." It can be read on its own, but it also serves as another mini prequel since it takes place right after Oswald was defeated at Kelve Lava Ruins by Ari and Scarlett and taken into custody by Gideon.

Editor and I are trying out a new beta reader/editor for our Sechs Empire Hetalia AU, so hopefully this will be the kick we need to finish this behemoth and get to revising/posting it.

My kink AU for GoA is making good progress and has a new beta reader. Once I knock out maybe 2-3 more chapters, I think I can start posting it.

Life updates

Still unemployed... but I joined an RF art server and made a bunch of new friends, so that's been fun!

Starting to get back into D&D again. My husband is running a game for me and some old friends, and I'm running a one-shot for some of my new friends

Doodled Ryker for today, his clothes scare me, so I used his cloak to my advantage.

not doomed by the narrative but saved by the narrative. yeah i know you'd rather die than keep suffering but the story doesn't actually care what you want. you have to keep going, even when it hurts. even being erased from existence won't stop you from being salvaged from the wreckage of un-being. get up. keep pushing. keep bleeding. keep living.

you'll feel like a total dipshit train wreck and no matter what some girl is gonna see you and think "role model". you can't kill yourself you have to go be clocky in the gas station so a 14 year old can have the trajectory of her life altered forever

as annoying as it is to work fast food, at my previous job one time a kid recognized the theta delta pin on my hat and was so fucking excited because i was the first other therian they had ever encountered offline.

"hey....are you a therian?" "yeah!" "what kind of animal?" "eh, some kinda dog" "😲😀 im like a wolf coyote hybrid" "that's fuckin awesome"

to be weird is to cast lifelines all around you

what really drives me nuts is that like. this happens an average of x times per year as a visibly weird person, but we only get made aware of it a small fraction of the time. you can't kill yourself you have to be clocky in the gas station.

Being clocky when i was working as a barista was one of my big joys. Being clocky when i was teaching high schoolers how to play the marimba was my reason for being for half a decade. It sucks how scared I am to leave the house I live in now. But I still need to try and be clocky at the grocery store. I wish i had a job to be clocky at. Being visibly me is one of the most radical acts I'm capable of, and I hope that one day we live in a world where it isn't radical at all.

[doyoulovethewayzeylily]

that's exactly what I was feeling when I wrote this. we all find ways to defy our fear, love is an excellent motivator.

They say that the way you should view disagreements in relationships is “us vs the problem” and not “me vs them” and I think that to a certain extent that mindset can also be helpful when engaging in political or ideological movements

[what-even-is-thiss]

Taking feminism as an example, it’s a lot easier to see trans people and intersex people and even cis men as your allies within the movement when you view your movement as “us vs inequality and sexism” and not “women vs men”

If you’re some form of a socialist then working with people with different political ideologies than you becomes a lot easier when you view the problem as “us vs the bad system” instead of “socialists vs everyone else”

I personally at least find most problems easier to tackle once I attach this sort of mindset into it. You do not inherently in every situation need to view other human beings as your enemy. And in fact when your goal is to solve the problem and not to Defeat Your Opponent then you can get more creative with your problem solving.
