Nellie’s Notes

Hi! I’m a writer who’s working on a new book, I’m gonna post some stuff about my characters and writing updates as well as art I’m taking inspiration from.

[nelliecomet]

Hello. I need Tumblr’s help. I finally came out as a trans boy to my family. Also, I love Animal Crossing. It single handedly saved my mental health. But since I made the island before transitioning, I’m constantly deadnamed by my villagers. It makes me really sad but I adore the game!! How do I reach out to Nintendo to change it???

[nelliecomet]

This reminds me so much of Ezra!! He’s soft and beautiful, especially his hair. 😌☺️ This fanart is from a blog called kingrising!

[nelliecomet]

Me: ‘Was that a trumpet?’

No. It was a BIRD. I’m walking in the forests of a NATURE RESERVE.

SMH, I’m dense sometimes 😞😂

[nelliecomet]

I finally started posting my story!

I’ve been wanting to do it for foreverrrrr! I would have put some up on Tumblr, but it feels too long to be properly aesthetic. Anyone who wants to read it, check out ‘Valor,’ on Wattpad! (Please. Please read it. I promise it’s good)

There’s no official upload schedule, but there’ll be lots to read soon.

Trying to design Ardere’s flag at 1am, it came out good!! If not a lot like the lesbian flag😂

And yes, that is Wednesday in the background, because nothing says fantasy design like Tim Burton’s and Wednesday Addams! Eh, I regret nothing. I’m going to bed.

[nelliecomet]

Here’s a great reference for King Wulfdean, this is an art piece by Tara Spruit, (Stormlight Archives Characters). He’s got darker hair than Ezra, and blue eyes like his sister Merletta. I like him a lot☺️

ADOPTION FUN FACT

If you’re adopted internationally into the United States, BY adoption LAWS you’re legally a citizen, but you still have to apply for documentation and if it’s not done by the age of 18 you have to pay over $500 and get a judge to reopen your adoption case. 

Even More Fun Fact: No one actually tells adoptive families, this so many find out after they’re 18 when their kid needs to get a passport, wants to apply for financial aid, get certain jobs, vote or some other shit that requires proof of citizenship and now it’s too late because they’re 18 or over. 

AND EVEN MORE FUN FACT! You can sometimes even be deported because you can be considered foreign-born, non-citizens! 

Oh and they won’t accept adoption papers or a birth certificate as proof. 

Adoption is FUN. 

[confessionsofbirthmothers]

Do it now! Seriously. Even if you think you are safe. Do it.

Many people are finding that even a birth certificate is not valid proof anymore. Texas birth certificates are notorious. So notorious that I have 3 friends who can’t use them to get passports! Don’t think everything is hunky dory. You must nail down your citizenship.

Plus the cost for your citizenship certificate is almost doubling this fall.

SIGNAL BOOST.

Some Naturalization/Citizenship Certificate tips from me, the person who front-end processes these forms for half the country: the passport people are absolute garbage at sending your Naturalization Certificate back to you. Unfortunately, they also require it for you to get a passport. If you don’t get it back, whine at them about it and they will probably cover the cost of the replacement.  

Also! It takes up to 12 months to get a replacement certificate. If you urgently need your Natz Cert to visit your dying relative in another country, the word you want to use is ‘Expedite’. Not ‘ASAP’. Not ‘rush’. Expedite. Write a letter explaining why you need it expedited, if you do. Otherwise the USCIS data-entry grunts (me!) aren’t allowed to throw it into the expedite line and it gets relegated to the Backlog Crypts. 

Also! You need to get a new Naturalization Certificate if your name and/or gender legally changes, because a lot of places want your proof of citizenship for things like Social Security and student loans and Medicaid/EBT/welfare benefits and drivers’ licenses. 

ALSO ALSO both the N600 ($600) that you use to apply for your Naturalization Certificate in the first place and N565 ($345) that you use to apply for a replacement certificate are eligible for FEE WAIVERS. It’s called an I912. Learn it, love it, use it. 

Please for your sake make sure you are using the current version of the form. The most common reason I have to reject an N565 is because someone sent me something that expired in 2013. The current one is seven pages long. Please send the government all seven of them.

How is my mental health? Well, I just burned my fingers trying to eat a hard-boiled egg minutes after I cooked it. 😌💅

[nelliecomet]

For a writer, I don’t do a lot of writing. Luckily, I know from my media scrolling that this is not uncommon.😔😌

My Mom: “You’ve lived with me for the past three years!”

Yay!!

[the-stray-storyteller]

hotwire and steal

[nelliecomet]

He says no

[nelliecomet]

Hold on, did the soldiers in Tangled KNOW about the Magic Golden Flower, or did they just search desperately for something and say ‘hey, that thing’s glowing, it’s gotta be worth something!’

I’d just like some clarification.

[nelliecomet]

GUYS AJKLSKTSKLS

I just walked up to my teacher and said ‘I have to go fight a squirrel,’ HE JUST GOES ‘ok’ AND GOES BACK TO HIS COMPUTER. I JUST WALKED OUT OF CLASS.

LMAOOOO BYE DUDE GOT TO GO THROW HANDS WITH A SUBURBIAN MARSUPIAL IG

[nelliecomet]

Real Event from Earlier Today

Student: *Holds out (shaking) hand* “Look, my hand is trembling involuntarily!”

Teacher:

Student: “Ha ha. Finals.”

Teacher:

Student: *Tries to jump over desk and fails badly*

Teacher: “…Are you ok?”

Student: “Yep!”

[nelliecomet]

In case anyone was worried I’m becoming normal, I was just in Aldi and I saw another person with a pineapple in their cart. My first (and only) thought was; ‘I must be in a Psych episode. …That means someone’s about to die.’

Some Fun Ways to Clap Back to Annoying Reporters: Author’s Edition

“Why are there so many homos in your books?”

“I know guys, I’m sorry,” *Tearing up* “I know a lot of you were hoping for vampires, it’s not that I’m not willing to try! But, I just feel like that’s Stephanie Meyer’s turf! So, we’re stuck with Homo sapiens for now.

“What will the children think?”

“Well, they probably think more than you, since none of them are asking about other people’s children.”

“Why are there so many [gay/female/trans/black/etc.] characters in this book?”

“Well, I didn’t want anyone like you in my story. It’s supposed to be good.”

Some other ideas:

Just start laughing

Let them know it’s a nonsense question (people deserve the truth☺️)

Ignore them, call on someone else

Pretend to misunderstand the question until they realize how stupid they sound

Ask them; ‘Why do you think so?’ And watch the train wreck

Have fun, and good luck out there!

Since TSATS is coming out in 12 days, if anyone wants to reread all of Nico’s story so far without having to committ to rereading all 15+ books, a couple months ago I made a Nico di Angelo masterdoc with all his mentions and appearances. Every single one.

It’s got all of PJO, HOO and TOA. I didn’t get around to the shorts stories yet so it’s still a work in progress, but the main series are all there. 

Anyway I’m dropping the google link below.
