I'm Phoenix, I'm from Utah, I have a bachelor's degree in creative fiction writing (an English degree basically). I was a Tumblr user in the golden era (2013-14) before I deleted my original blog in 2015. My old nick/screen name was Brazzle but it's been Phoenix for a decade now. (VBNM space bar -- IYKYK).

I have a bunch of hobbies that mostly center around writing. I also make art, music, jewelry, I got super into bookbinding for a bit but haven't done that for a hot sec, I love to get cardio and most especially spend every year training for the cross country skiing season. I am also in a variety of fandoms and I'm obsessed with everything from the early 20th century.

People terrify me but I'm willing to make friends.

Yes I was raised Mormon, yes I am queer and neurodivergent. I contain multitudes. I don't go to church much anymore but I don't need to explain the nuances of my upbringing to the 90% of Tumblr that just thinks it's funny to wish death on all my family and friends. Sometimes I share religious posts (especially with fascist evangelical ideas running rampant right now) but I tag them as religion.

Otherwise, we post memes here, sir/ma'am/enby/genderless entity/etc.

Saw this twitter post and instantly started looking for pictures of Stratt to use it with

[phoebonica]

This one has to have been done, right?

That's a side quest. You're supposed to go find him.

[audhdspacewizard]

Or at least find his environmental storytelling skeleton along with a unique weapon or piece of armor.

I know these are supposed to be unintentional compliments, but this idea made me laugh too hard not to draw. The Eridian Hating Committee has been digging a little too deep for dirt on Grace.

Rocky is going to take this as a personal attack bc how DARE anyone threaten his leaky space blob.

I know what tumblr's answer will be but I have to ask anyway because it bugs me

What region of America is Texas in?

I'm from Texas & it's in the southwest

I'm from Texas & it's in the south

I'm from Texas & it's in the midwest

I'm from Texas & Texas is its own region

I'm not from there & it's in the southwest

I'm not from there & it's in the south

I'm not from there & it's in the midwest

I'm not from there & Texas is its own region

another answer somehow?? tell me

vanilla extract / bald / see results

Giuseppe Brega, Villa Ruggeri, Italy, 1902 - 1907

another little detail i noticed is that when stratt is walking behind grace and he moves out of the way she reaches out and gives his chair a lil pat she’s so cute 😭

[blackshvck]

the idea that every summer will be as hot if not hotter than this for the rest of my life is unbearable i need to (remembers suicide jokes are bad for my mental health) murder an oil executive

[alexxuun]

If it’s any consolation, you’ll be hailed as a hero.

Stratt kept her promises about the statues :)

[duckinpink]

Somebody on the medical team put him on his bunk in a wrong way...

I refuse to draw him in pants btw

(there is pt 2 now)

Scarface premiered Mar 31, 1932 in New Orleans. It was the first sound film Howard Hawks made, but it was held up for over a year by the censors. It was Hawks' third film released. Note the cast list on the poster includes Boris "Frankenstein" Karloff.

[hellenhighwater]

Hi. I’m a trial attorney now and every last one of you is a motherfucker.

[vintageandroid]

i made a post like this before but I can't find it now. so. I'll just redo it.

What's the first "big news story" you remember from when you were a kid?

It's something I love to ask mixed-aged groups sometimes because I think it's really interesting to see the responses. I've gotten answers from the Olympics of [whatever year] to Watergate to more recent stuff from my niblings.

My first news thing I remember is the OJ Simpson trial. I vaguely remember watching the news with my grandparents before that, but that's the first story I remember, in part because my second grade teacher had us go play so she could watch the verdict 😂
