i'm not lying, i actually can't swim

i mean i guess i can keep myself afloat, but like, i wouldn't pass a swim test. i'd do it anyways if a man with sad eyes, crying and covered with blood, asked me to tho. (she/her, ace, 2002 baby, adhd)

welcome to my blog; it is semi organized

not really, but i have a few consistent tags:

running my mouth is for all original posts of mine (or reblogs where i actually add something)

made this with my hands is for posts of mine with media i made

my artwork is— believe it or not— for anything i’ve drawn

did you guys know marlena plays percussion is where you’ll find content about my musical endeavors (which are percussive; i am a percussionist)

ask and you shall receive is the tag i put on answered asks (which i love receiving, feel free to send them)

sometimes i write marks all the posts where i’ve written fic of some sort, either ao3 links or little writing challenges or ask games. in fact, you may know me from ao3 as why_wont_you_listen!

and here's the stuff i'm into, coming at you in the form of a jenny nicholson style internet friendly numbered list (the order isn't remotely relevant):

star trek (heavy emphasis on ds9)

psych

doctor who (rtd1 era specifically)

project hail mary

the cornetto trilogy + spaced

bill and ted

the spiderverse films

community (concept and tv show alike)

disco elysium

captain disillusion

high-effort artful video essay youtube

other stuff i can't think of right now

if simon pegg, david tennant, or timothy omundson starred in something, there's a strong chance i've seen it.

(i have a letterboxd too)

the Relationship Ambiguity Zone™️ is a beautiful place to be. safe place to put your characters. put all characters into Relationship Ambiguity Zone. is that guy your mentor or your dad? Ambiguous!!! are you friends or enemies? Ambiguous!!! is it romantic? is it platonic? is it sexual? Ambiguous!!!!!!! never categorize anything ever in the Relationship Ambiguity Zone. just make them fucking weird about each other.

so far one theme of the 30s for me has been realizing that literally every human being on earth who appears completely cool and collected and together with it at first glance has some threshold past which enough known information about them will shatter that mystique completely. i don't even say this negatively or pessimistically it's just been helpful to keep in mind that we're all like that.

“I asked ChatGPT-” Yeah well I asked Lieutenant Commander Data Soong from engineering and he told me that while he could, in fact, do my physics homework, he fears that it may have a negative impact on my academic performance and that he would not proceed with this arrangement.

The Eridian scientists were used to malnutritioned Grace, and did not know about stimming. The were realy chill and didn't over react at all.
