New Introductory Post + Get to know me!
Hi everyone!
An updated intro post, because I promised, and stuff has changed.
First of all, I am still not a robot. I am, as a matter of fact, still definitely a human.
You can call me Starfish, or Ash! Starfish is my nickname/drawing name, and Ash is the pseudonym I usually use, including for writing stuff.
Thats my writer-sona!
About me:
I am 17 years old and a cis female (she/her pronouns). Also, I'm an August Virgo!
I am an asexual, and very romantic, but not am in (or looking for) a relationship. (Also closeted irl, but brushing past that).
Currently studying in high school, and preparing for med school.
I am from, and live in India. I am also a spiritual Hindu, and love and respect all religious beliefs (including atheism and agnostic people).
My true love lies in history, mythology, and literature. Like interested to the point of obsession with them.
Probably have some sort of undiagnosed neuro divergence (but that's unimportant. maybe).
I have been writing poetry and short stories since elementary school (under my real name), and reading for as long as I can remember.
Some of my favourites:
Book series: Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Shadow and Bone (and Six of Crows), The Hunger Games
Stand-alone books: The Song of Achilles, The Little Prince, The Book Thief, Ela (it's by Sampurna Chatterjee, really underrated), The Girl who Drank the Moon, The Bell Jar, 1984
Movie: The Fault in our Stars, Into the Spider-Verse (also ASTV)
Shows/series: Brooklyn 99, Modern Family, The Good Doctor, Carmen Sandiego, Alien Stage (Ik it's not technically on tv, but ao3 lists it as such and I need to put it somewhere so)
Anime: The Apothecary Diaries, Bungou Stray Dogs, Death Note, Spy x Family, Banana Fish, Oshi No Ko

I am a writer, and have two main WIPs. You can see the master posts by clicking on the titles:
1. Stranger Friends- Two people become friends by sharing their deepest thoughts with each other, but never their identities.
Status- Writing (First Draft)
2. Beyond the Ripple Tides- A new recruit in an elite magical enforcement service is tasked to find out about the stirring rebellion, but with the gap in everyone's minds, nothing's what it seems.
Status- Writing (Zeroth Draft)
I have posted my original stuff (one poem and short story) under #my writing <3 (I know, very original).
My AO3 account (I recently made it, and have yet to update it): Swirling_Seas
Discord ID: inspirationallybored_76418
I also like to draw, and am an amateur self- taught artist. Drawing blog is @rustic-brushes

Things you'll find on my blog:
Stuff about writing, procrastinating writing, writing struggles, the likes.
I also post about my wips, dialogue prompts and other stuff. Comments are much appreciated, it's nice to get feedback.
Moots wips too!
A lot of random stuff, about life and other things. I also have a side blog for venting, lmk if you want to know about it (it's depressing, so beware)
tag games, rb games, ask games, and such (I crave interaction lol)
I WILL advocate about political and social issues, it's a part of writing, and it's a part of me.
*****
Things I am perfectly fine with:
Almost everything! Opinion-related, or about interests, or WIPs (mine or others'), or stuff I don't know about, and more. Tumblr is a free space for discussion, right? So anything and everything is a-okay. It doesn't matter if it's from the other side of the world, it's ok.
I am perfectly fine with discussing about stuff that might be sensitive to some, like mental health, politics, war, etc.
Though I am a liberal politically, all opinions and differences are welcome, just be respectful and logical.
I am open to comments, reblogs, asks (including anon asks), and DMs. Just don't be a weirdo.
Some things to be careful about (just in case anyone needs it):
No bigotry or discrimination allowed, including homo/transphobia and racism. Having opinions is ok, having prejudice is not.
No judging on difference of opinions, be respectful (again, unless someone is being a horrible person, then desecration is fine).
No NSFW stuff please, I am a minor (you get what I mean).
Avoid stuff related to financial transactions like asking money (again, I'm a minor, I don't have a bank account, and this is the internet so almost no one shares stuff like that).
Note: I love and appreciate all interactions, but I can be late in responding or not respond sometimes (life you know). I will try my very best to respond every time, but even if I don't, know I loved that you interacted.
