✦ about ✦

i'm nix; early 20s, white usamerican who primarily speaks english, aroace, bi, agender guything, audhd, chronically ill, atheist. i use it/its, he/him, and they/them — call me whichever you prefer!! :3 i’m a writer, studying english (and creative writing.) i have alexithymia, which sometimes makes me unable to voice my feelings or voice them “wrong,” just be patient with me is all i ask! radical feminists, zionists, racists, ableists, foul creatures with mal intent, exclusionists, transmedicalists or truscum, fatphobes, wizards that never studied the dark arts, people that are pro-generative ai, pro-censorship, ghouls that have long left their resting places, and beings that have crawled their way out of the hells -- get the fuck off my property or die by my blade.

✦ interests ✦

i like a lot of stuff! some of my main interests are original characters, writing, tabletop rpgs, dragon age, the witcher, warframe, visual novels, romance, cats, the medieval period and some of the early modern period, linguistics (specifically in regards to english,) speculative fiction, poetry, media analysis, and human biology. :3 one more thing: this is a #veilguardpositive blog and i am uninterested in debating crit or engaging in crit. if you think this means i'm stupid or that i don't have criticism of my own, i don't really care. just block me.

its always "what are your plans for the future, you should really be planning for the future" and never "wow that character you're obsessed with sounds so cool can you explain them to me. im sure you get them more than anyone else"

HOW TO START (2026)

How to Start by rthwrms

for the times when you really truly want to do something, but find resistance or that starting feels impossible

most helpful action to get into a task is: look at it options include: review what you've already done open the tab on screen blur your eyes at first if that helps fullscreen the image browse or skim relevant texts let your gaze move around how it will JUST...LOOK!!!

Your brain has resistance towards starting the particular project in the way that you've previously conceived of it. Instead of fighting that resistance, try to change your approach to starting your work. Ie, start with colored pencils on a piece you were doing in gouache, include a new stitch in a crochet piece, Step one: identify the process Step two: identify places where something new can be included Step three: brainstorm new options to fill these spots Step four: select one or more options and try your piece from this new angle

encourage yourself by asking questions start with: "What am I actually trying to do right now?" then try: "What would this look like if it were more fun?" "How would I do it if anything was possible?"

divide into discrete tasks make the closest or shiniest one literally as small & specific as freaking possible
