Original Dragon Novel đź’™
Hi hello! Quick PSA, actively working on publishing my first novel right now, which is bizarre, and terrifying but also endlessly exciting.
If you are interested in finding out more, check out my instagram cause I will be making updates over there mostly as things progress.
(I also plan on finishing FTT before the 10 year anniversary in summer, so look forward to that!)

"You fools, my sword is forged from hate! None of you soft weaklings could wield it, there is no hate in your-" The villain and heroes could only gawp as the quietest and kindest of the hero's party stepped up, grabbed the sword, and the blade suddenly expanded to five times the old size.
"this fic uses em dashes, so it must be ai-generated" real humans use em dashes.
"this fic has long paragraphs with overly described details and scenes, so it must be ai-generated" real humans can write like this.
"this fic has inconsistencies, so it must be ai-generated" real humans make errors and mistakes. that's why we have this thing called plot holes. sometimes writers are tired and they don't remember what they wrote in the last sentences or paragraphs, let alone chapters.
"this fic sounds robotic and unnatural, so it must be ai-generated" not every writer writes in their native language. sometimes they can sound 'robotic and unnatural' if they wrote in their second or third or fourth language (and kudos to them).
"this fic has a prompt left in it that the author forgot to delete, so it must be ai-generated" the 'prompt' the author accidentally left in their fic could actually be a part of an outline that was meant only for them, so they could keep track of what they would write.
"this author posts too often, no human writes this fast, so they must use ai" 1.) you don't know how fast someone can or can't write, how much time a person has in a day or how motivated/skilled they are. 2.) the frequent updates you see could be something that has already been finished and sitting in the author's drafts for god knows how long. just because it's recently posted doesn't always mean it's recently written.
my point? no, you can never know if a fanfic is 'ai-generated'. unless the author says they use ai, you're just assuming, suspecting and witch hunting. chances are that you're not going to 'stop ai fics from being created', you're just going to wrongly accuse genuine writers of using ai and ruin their day at best, make them want to quit writing or sharing their works at worst.

There was something magical about an island—the mere word suggested fantasy. You lost touch with the world—an island was a world of its own. A world, perhaps, from which you might never return.
A person Sydney can love
In not so many words, Sydney tells us in 3x10 and 4x06 that there's only one person who is her rock, her constant, who she trusts enough to depend on and love: her father, Emmanuel Adamu.
But is that true?
Who else might fit the bill and meet the standard set by Papa Adamu?
Have we met another person that Sydney can love?*
A person Sydney can love makes sure she's caffeinated.
A person Sydney can love is someone whose opinion she values.
A person Sydney can love must give forehead kisses.
A person Sydney can love picks up when she calls.
A person Sydney can love notices when things are off and checks to see whats going on with her.
A person Sydney can love gives her their focus.
A person Sydney can love comes when she calls them and is willing to take her where she needs to go.
A person Sydney can love makes her feel at home (with a bed just for her) and does what they can to help her succeed.
A person Sydney can love tells her when they're proud of her.
A person Sydney can love is supposed to be there, with her.
*Yes we have.
The Symbolism of Weather
Weather in stories is not just there to make your characters wet or sweaty or annoyingly cold. It means stuff, like, big emotional metaphory stuff. You can totally use it to say what your characters aren’t saying out loud, or to punch your readers in the face with vibes.
༄ Storms – Big messy chaos energy. Fights or maybe Panic. Something bad is either happening or about to, like the universe is yelling “brace yourself!”
༄ Rain – Sad tears or soul shower, take your pick. Sometimes it’s like, "boohoo everything sucks," but also kinda healing? Think of it like an emotional reset button.
༄ Sunshine – Happiness, duh. But also those moments where everything is finally clear and warm and safe, even if just for a second.
༄ Fog – No one knows what the hell is going on. Secrets, confusion, probably someone making a very questionable decision.
༄ Wind – Change is coming, dear. Restlessness in the air...Could be thrilling, could be terrifying. Hair will get messed up either way.
༄ Snow – Either magical winter wonderland vibes... or total emotional frostbite. Loneliness, silence, maybe death if you’re feeling extra dramatic.
༄ Heatwave – Everyone’s cranky and sweaty and one second away from snapping. Tension is so thick you could cut it with a popsicle stick.
༄ Thunder – Something (or someone) is pissed off. Like divine wrath, or just the universe doing a mic drop.
༄ Lightning – FLASH of truth. Insight. Or rage. Whatever it is, it’s fast and it changes everything.
༄ Clear Sky – The deep exhale after the chaos, like things are finally chill. Maybe even… hopeful?
“They’re trying to convince people they can’t do the things they’ve been doing easily for years – to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies – to write that for you.” We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, “that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won’t know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can’t do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat. People are already doing this. You won’t have to process grief, because you’ll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it’s going to destroy humans, long before there’s a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people.”
Justine Bateman on AI in this article from The Guardian
Tumblr is super big on the "I didn't say it was good, I said I liked it" but really need to discover the value in its opposite of "I didn't say it was bad, I said I hated it".
You can acknowledge that something is good, great, a masterpiece even, and just straight-up not enjoy it.
i actually never ever want AO3 to be censored bc nothing is more fun than reading the tags on a fic and going “huh. didn’t know there was a market for that.”
squinting at a tag and trying to decide how badly I want to learn a new word
A necessary practice to keep our idea of the broadness of the human experience from becoming too narrow.
write badly. write weirdly. write like a cryptid in a cave with one candle. that’s where the good shit starts.
the problem with having a decade old tumblr blog is that there are posts on it from a decade ago
Read in 2025:
My name is Mary Katherine Blackwood. I am eighteen years old, and I live with my sister Constance. I have often thought that with any luck at all, I could have been born a werewolf, because the two middle fingers on both my hands are the same length, but I have had to be content with what I had. I dislike washing myself, and dogs, and noise. I like my sister Constance, and Richard Plantagenet, and Amanita phalloides, the death-cup mushroom. Everyone else in our family is dead.

Hi random question - is your linktree supposed to link to a bunch of clothing websites? I was a bit confused when I clicked it expecting to see you ffn and ao3 links but idk maybe you also sell clothes but it is also way different than the one in your Instagram bio so thought I’d check.
Hope you’re doing well!
HI!
OMG, that is so weird. It's the right one on my instagram, and somehow missed that it was wrong on here.
Fixed it now!!! And it has all my ffn, ao3 etc links!
Thank you so much for pointing that out, and also nope, no clothes.
Hope you're doing well too lovely! <3
did you know red snapper can live for over 100 years…. whatre they DOING down there
I hope this doesn’t work the same way for centaurs.
Thanks! I hate it

on your right you’ll see an absolutely horrifying depiction of the mermaid growth cycle, but one that makes the fantasy writer within me incredibly giddy because this is such an amazing concept
